Katie Holmes Shared Unretouched Photos on Instagram Showing Off Her Stretch Marks


It’s hard to go even a day without seeing a story about Katie Holmes’s on-point street style, full of fashionable fall jackets, chic sweaters and perfectly-styled evening wear. But now the actress is making headlines for something else she’s wearing amazingly well: her stretch marks.

Earlier this week, the 40-year-old took to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes pics from Vogue Australia that clearly show off the stretch marks on her stomach. Fans were quick to praise the actress for posting the unedited photos, proudly flaunting the lines that peaked out behind her blazer and black bra.

“#Bts @vogueaustralia ??? it is wonderful to be working today with such amazing women!” Holmes captioned the two pictures, in which she sports slicked-back wet hair, natural makeup and gold earrings. The pictures are by far some of the most popular in her feed, amassing almost 80,000 likes since it was shared.

Several of Holmes’s followers commented on the pics, thanking her for being real about her body on social media. “Just seeing this made me cry because it means so much to show the beauty of your natural body,” one person wrote. “I’ve always had issues showing my marks as a mother of three. Seeing this gives me strength.”

Another added: “Thank you, you’ve made me feel so much better about my stretch marks, which I am always down on myself about!!! You are truly an inspiration.”

“Stunning… untouched…awesome example for our young girls growing up having to see so many retouched photos and unnatural bodies,” another fan noted.

Many others applauded the actress for showing the honest side of pregnancy. (Holmes has a 13-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise.) “Wow such a beautiful woman you are, Katie. You’ve made a statement to all us woman out there who struggle with pregnancy stretch marks. Thank you for presenting your all-natural self,” one fan penned.

Holmes is the latest in a slew of inspirational famous women, including Ashley Graham, Chrissy Teigen and Hilary Duff, who are fighting back at beauty standards by sharing their perceived “flaws,” from cellulite to leg hair to acne, on social media. It’s much-needed proof that there’s no such thing, even in Hollywood, as the perfect body.

Kate Middleton Debuts New Honey-Brown Hair During Back-to-School Photos


Thursday marked the first day of school for Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who were photographed looking adorable before heading to classes at Thomas’s Battersea in London. However, they’re not the only ones celebrating the start of something new: Their mom, Kate Middleton, debuted a new hair color while dropping them off at school, and the change comes just in time for fall.

We’re used to seeing the Duchess as a slightly darker brunette, but it seems that she’s decided to lighten things up a bit. While the color isn’t drastically blond, the highlights are a much brighter shade than we’ve seen from her before. Her cut, too, appears to have slightly less layers than before, making her famous Chelsea blowout look a little sleekier and less bouncy. For the photo opp, she also wore a floral button-down Michael Kors dress that she’d previously worn last year at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s rehearsal dinner.

Middleton’s glossy waves have been the subject of fascination for a while. She seems to have the uncanny ability to pull off pretty much any kind of style—she’s done Game Of Thrones-style braids, she’s done intricate updos, she’s tucked her updos under stunning hats, and, of course, she knows how to rock a tiara.

It always looks completely effortless, but we do know that she has a few standby tricks to keep her hair healthy. A now-deleted Instagram photo revealed that Middleton’s hairstylist typically packs 13 hair brushes, six combs, three hair curlers, and two hairdryers for her. We also learned from some pretty extreme sleuthing that Middleton always cuts her hair before big pregnancy announcements and typically combines shampoo and conditioner. (Her frequent stylist Richard Ward, reportedly has her use the Cleanse and Condition duo from his salon’s Chelsea Collection.) And when she’s pulling off one of those fancy royal updos, you can see that she uses a hairnet, of all things, to keep everything perfectly in place. We’ll have to keep an eye out to see what hacks she has to keep her lighter hair gleaming. Olaplex, maybe?

Reese Witherspoon Revealed Her Natural Hair Color on Instagram — See Photos


Sure, Reese Witherspoon is best known for her roles in films and shows including Big Little Lies, Cruel Intentions, and Legally Blonde. But the actress is also often associated with her beautiful blond hair—we personally blame Elle Woods for that.

For pretty much ever, we’ve been convinced the 43-year-old actress’s natural color was blond, but apparently, I’m sorely mistaken. Witherspoon took to Instagram recently to share a childhood photo with her fans, revealing that her natural hair color is actually brown.

The photo was posted with the caption “Mom tip: Send your kid to school with a candy necklace so she can share it with all her new friends,” she wrote. In the throwback pic, Witherspoon’s hair is a light brown with just a hint of a natural blond highlight.

While her hair color is a surprise, we also can’t help but notice that this photo of Witherspoon looks just like her 19-year-old daughter Ava. And the comment section agrees. “Is this Ava or Reece???” says one fan while another says “I don’t know if this is you or your daughter.” Genetics are amazing, aren’t they?

Over the years, Witherspoon has tried a few different hair colors, ranging from deep brown, red hues to, of course, bright blond. Considering how great each color looks on Witherspoon, it’d be hard to figure out what her natural color is were it not for this childhood photo. She can pretty much wear anything. Still, we don’t see her ditching the blond anytime soon.

Ryan Reynolds Just Trolled Blake Lively With Unflattering Photos for Her Birthday


Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are known for their delightful mutual trolling on social media, with nary a birthday or anniversary between them going unnoticed without a little good-natured fun flung one direction or the other. It’s been a while, however, since we had a good birthday trolling: On Reynolds’ big day last year, Lively used the occasion to encourage followers to go vote in the midterm elections instead. So suffice it to say we were pretty excited when we realized that today, Sunday, August 24, was Lively’s 32nd birthday. And yes, Reynolds had delivered.

The Deadpool star commemorated his wife’s birthday by posting a series of unflattering photos to her on his ‘gram. We’re talking half-closed eyes, motion blurs, unfocused pics, and half-out-of-frame shots. (The kind of photos everyone takes!) The pictures are, apparently, worth 10,000 words, because Reynolds only used three in his caption: “Happy Birthday, @blakelively.”

Deadpool‘s creator, Rob Liefeld, said what we were all thinking: “There are no bad pictures of @blakelively and happy ???,” he commented. Gigi Hadid also offered her birthday greetings with a “‼️❤️‼️”

Reynolds also shared recently what the greatest present Lively had ever given him was: an Easter egg-packed, semi-biographical painting of a young boy delivering newspapers (Reynolds’ own first job).

We’re sure Reynolds has something equally as special in store for Lively’s birthday—but it seems like other celebrities are getting in on this unflattering-pic trolling game too. Karl Cook, husband of Big Bang Theory‘s Kaley Cuoco, posted a pic of Cuoco to mark their anniversary on Saturday.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Just Shared Some New Photos From Their 2017 Africa Trip


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have a deep connection to Botswana. They spent five days camping there together early on in their relationship, a period that Prince Harry has referred to in the past as “crucial.” Even the diamonds from her engagement ring were sourced from the country.

They’ve returned to Botswana a few times since then, including a trip in 2017 that made it onto their joint Instagram account this week. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared photos of themselves providing aid at one of Botswana’s elephant conservation centers in honor of World Elephant Day, and offered fans an update about their work with the nonprofit organization Elephants Without Borders. In a caption, the royals explained that outreach efforts supported by the Ellen Fund have helped Elephants Without Borders outfit 25 elephants with satellite navigation collars.

“These collars allow the team at EWB to track the elephants, as well as to learn their essential migratory patterns to keep their corridors safe and open so future generations of elephants can roam freely. In honour of this amazing support, EWB have named their most recently collared Elephant…ELLEN! We can’t wait to see where she will go!” they wrote.

This isn’t the first time they’ve shared photos from their Botswana trips. In April, ahead of the premiere of David Attenborough’s nature documentary series Our Planet, they posted another image of the two of them putting one of the collars on an elephant together.

“As president of @africanparksnetwork, The Duke of Sussex continues to advocate for the communities and wildlife that coexist in some of the most vulnerable environments around the world,” the Instagram caption reads. “Be it human wildlife conflict or natural disasters, these communities (park rangers, school children, families) are on the front line of conservation and we must do more to help them as we also work to safeguard the animals and landscapes that are in critical danger.”

Ariana Grande Dyed Her Ponytail Purple — Photos


Ariana Grande’s been playing a lot with styling her signature ponytail, most recently adding a healthy dose of ’60s-era flounce to it. Now, she’s gone a step further and changed the color entirely.

The artist’s longtime hairstylist Chris Appleton posted a photo of Grande during pre-performance prep on Instagram in which she’s sporting a purple skirt, purple tank top, purple fingerless gloves and, yes, purple hair. “Lavender pony’s change lives,” he captioned the photo.

Grande makes no secret of her love of hair extensions, but it appears as though her (IRL shoulder-length) hair has actually been dyed a cool lavender-gray. About an inch of brown hair remains at the root, while the rest of her ponytail goes from lavender-gray to lavender-blonde to pure pastel.

If Grande did in fact make the move towards rainbow hair, she’s hardly the first celeb to choose Appleton for the job. He’s taken Kim Kardashian from pink to brown and back again more times than we can count and just so happens to be the mastermind behind this ice-blue shade.

Fans are fawning over the new look in the comment section, with some already planning to try out purple themselves. “Gorgeous as always!” added one commenter. “Purple perfection,” wrote another.

With Grande’s career moving at the speed of light, we doubt she has much time to sit around bleaching, coloring, and toning her hair to this pastel shade very often, so it’s hard to predict how long this color will stay around. One thing’s for sure though: Even when she goes back to brunette, her ponytail is coming with her.
