Netflix's New Show Outer Banks Looks Like the Perfect Blend of The O.C. and Riverdale


These days, you probably have a lot of time to stream Netflix. But there’s only so many old episodes of Gossip Girl you can watch, right? Well, if you’re in the mood for another soapy drama stacked with hot people and preposterous stakes, then I have some very good news: Netflix is dropping its new series, Outer Banks, in two weeks, and it looks the perfect blend of The O.C. and Riverdale (with, yes, a little Gossip Girl thrown in).

The show takes place on North Carolina’s idyllic Outer Banks: sunny and beachy but with, apparently, a major class divide. You’re either super rich or working two jobs in this town, per narrator John Booker Rutledge (Chase Stokes). The central characters in this story are in the latter category, which is why when they find out John’s missing father somehow acquired $400 million in gold, all hell breaks loose. What transpires is an all-out treasure hunt, mixed with saucy romance and clash collisions between the Outer Banks’s wealthy and working class.

Watch the trailer for yourself, below. You’ll pick up on the Riverdale (crime, hot people) and O.C. (beach, hot people) vibes instantly.

Netflix’s official description for the series reads, “Outer Banks is a coming-of-age story that follows a tight-knit group of local teens (a.k.a. the Pogues) in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. When a hurricane kills the power for the summer season, it sets off a chain of illicit events that force the friends to make life-altering decisions. The search for their ringleader’s missing father, forbidden romances, a high-stakes treasure hunt, and the escalating conflict between the Pogues and their rivals turn their summer into one filled with mystery and adventure they’ll never forget.”

Sold? Me too. All 10 episodes of Outer Banks hit Netflix on Wednesday, April 15.

Hailee Steinfeld's Favorite Books Are the Perfect Quarantine Distraction


My dear Nana has always told me—and still tells me all the time—that no matter what, you need to wear sunscreen every day. I think it’s a great beauty tip and something I need to listen to more. There’s also a makeup artist that I work with, Patrick Ta, who has his own line of products, including monochromatic lipsticks and liners. I love using a lip liner, a dab of lipstick in the middle of my lips, and then I finish it with some Vaseline. It’s perfect and how I tend to finish off my everyday makeup look.

What’s your fave workout?

I love a great yoga class, but I can get bored really easily. I also love a dance class with great music that keeps you moving. My dad is a personal fitness trainer and works with me, so he constantly switches it up. We kick box, circuit training—it’s something new and fresh everyday.

If you’re in a gym all the time, it becomes so routine that it feels like a task. When it’s something new and different, it keeps you on your toes. We’ve all been working out together during this quarantine period, which has obviously been interesting because our workouts are completely different now. But we’re doing the best we can.

What’s your fave item of clothing?

I have this really great white tee from Vince that I’ve had for the longest time, and I still think is the perfect white tee. It’s a hard thing to come across, but when you nail it, you’ve got it. I re-wear it constantly.

What’s your fave rom-com?

13 Going On 30. I’ve seen it so many times at this point, and it still never gets old—that’s when you know.

What’s your fave movie snack?

I love Sour Patch Kids and Milk Duds. I can rip through a bag of popcorn before the movie starts, but there’s something about Milk Duds in a movie—they take some work to chew through, and they last you a while.

Do you have a fave sneaker?

Damn, that’s a hard question! I don’t know if I can answer that. I love sneakers, and I do that thing where I buy a new pair of sneakers and then don’t wear them because I’m afraid to get them dirty, which is ridiculous. Right now I’ve been alternating between Air Force Ones and my black leather high top Vans.

What’s your fave dish to cook at home?

I love a good taco night. It doesn’t require a lot, and my cooking abilities are not as strong as some of my others. You lay it all out, go down the line, pick out what you want, make your plate, and call it a day. Chicken tacos are my favorite. We just did a little taco night as a family, and my plate turned into a taco salad. It was just a bunch of everything thrown on the plate, topped with a bunch of avocado.

What’s your fave pair of jeans?

I actually just found a new favorite pair that I ordered online. They’re a high-waisted boyfriend jean from AGOLDE. I don’t like to shop online often, and I thought I would likely return them, but when I tried them on, they worked perfectly.

'Tiger King' Review: Netflix's Latest True-Crime Doc Is the Perfect Isolation Binge


Netflix could not have dropped Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness at a better time. In this time of isolation and virtual viewing parties, this seven-part docuseries checks every box for the true-crime obsessed: eccentric characters, cults, polygamy, and more twists than you’ll be emotionally prepared to unpack. The tigers are just the bait.

Actually, “eccentric characters” is probably a massive understatement. Tiger King begins as a series about Joseph Maldonado-Passage, aka Joe Exotic: a tiger-owning, gun-slinging, country-singing, gay polygamist who ran a national campaign for president. Say that 10 times fast. Except, as directors Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin discover about five years into filming, this story is about so much more than an illicit zookeeper and his cast of equally bizarre enemies and friends. Suddenly Maldonado is arrested by the FBI for a tangled assassination plot, and viewers will probably come out of this with more knowledge about the various players and motives than the prosecutors.

Tiger King is not just about the murder-for-hire accusations, though. If you’re looking for a documentary about the world of unregulated exotic animal zoos that are apparently rampant in this country, you’ll get what you came for. On one side, there are the keepers who profit off breeding and petting zoos. On the other, there are animal rights activists and sanctuary owners dead set on ending those harmful practices…while profiting off similar methods. Somehow these zoo owners and “conservationists” are also suspected cult leaders, internet savants, insanely rich, and accused murders. Some are all of the above, with followers who will do anything for them (and the chance to care for exotic animals).

There’s a scene in which one of Maldonado’s employees gets attacked by a tiger and loses her arm. She returns to work seven days later with zero indication that she even cares about her lost appendage. Reader, believe me when I tell you that this is the least ludicrous moment in the series.

Still, the deeper you get into Tiger King, the less it focuses on the lions and tigers and bears of it all. The people involved here—a big cat “savior” who’s been accused of killing her husband, another polygamist with a zoo, and a group of Vegas con artists with an affinity for tiger cubs—are real people. And they seem legitimately dangerous.

Later in the series, as Goode begins to realize the weight of the story that’s unfolding, he calls his directing partner to fill her in. “They were sorta funny when we started,” Chaikin responds. “But it’s getting really dark.” Oh my.

Of Course Rihanna Had the Perfect Response When Someone Called Out Her Pimple


We may all be disappointed we didn’t get new Rihanna music by the end of 2019, but we can always count on her to be one of the very best celebrities of all time at social media.

The singer and Fenty mogul has only posted twice in 2020, but each one is pretty representative of who she is. First, she simply wrote “Devastating” about the fires raging in Australia. But it was her next image that is causing a bit of conversation.

“First selfie of the year doe. #2020,” she wrote next to a shot of herself. Seems harmless enough, right?

But this is Rihanna we’re talking about, so of course fans analyzed the photo closely. “Let me pop your pimple,” one commenter wrote after noticing a small blemish on the singer’s skin. RiRi was having none of that and came back with the perfect response: “Let her have her shine, PLEASE.”

It’s a small gesture, but the impact of a star as major as Rihanna being okay with posting a shot of herself with imperfect skin to the world (including her 78 million followers) is not. Instagram has become a place where perfection reigns and FaceTuned images are everywhere. But guess what? Everybody gets zits, even Rihanna. In fact, she’s one of a few celebrities who are normalizing acne on social media by posting their zit pics.

Rihanna is never afraid to address the commentary she knows goes on about her appearance. Back in October, she took on the matter of pregnancy head on. In a video for Vogue, Anna Wintour asked her, “Rihanna, do you hope to have a baby soon?”

“I don’t think about stuff like that. But, I don’t know…God’s plan,” she responded, laughing. “I look forward to all of the pregnancy rumors after this interview.” See, she always knows the right thing to say.

Verishop Is Our New Favorite Online Store—And It’s Perfect for Last-Minute Gifts


With less than a week before Christmas, anyone who hasn’t checked off their holiday gift list is probably biting their nails and ruining a perfectly festive manicure. There are trees to trim, New Year’s Eve outfits to buy, and shows to binge, so we get it if you totally forgot about your loved ones. Lucky for you, Mercury is not in retrograde and your Christmas miracle has landed in the form of our new favorite online store, Verishop.

The mission of Verishop, launched in June by former Snap executive Imran Khan, is to help brands get their products into the hands of consumers faster and easier—and to relieve some of the frustrations shoppers have had with larger e-commerce businesses (cough, free returns or nothing, cough). How do we love thee, Verishop? Let us count the ways brands: There’s everything from Free People to Levi’s to Vince and Agolde for women. Boll & Branch, Smeg, Staub, and more for your home. And Bioderma, Oribe, Perricone MD, Supergoop, and Tata Harper for your beauty shelf. Trust us, the list goes on, with products from over 350 brands to add to cart.

But perhaps the best thing about Verishop—never mind the expertly curated products—is the company’s shipping policy. It bests Amazon Prime’s two-day shipping, which we never thought was possible. At Verishop you get free one-day shipping and free returns. We know.

On top of it all, everything on the site is 20% off with the code HOLIDAY20. Meaning, there’s no better time to get yourself acquainted with the selection. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, we went ahead and picked the 21 best things you can buy today and have tomorrow—or if you’re cutting even closer to the holiday, order by midnight on December 22 to have by December 25. See and shop everything, below.
