Daily Skimm Weekend

EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Sunday. I’m on Day 17 of being a New York basketball fan, and it’s great (this video should be studied). So I’m keeping it going with the Liberty. Though, not gonna lie, I’m most excited to see their mascot, Ellie the Elephant, throw it down to Beyoncé. Here’s what else I’m thinking about…

• Cracking open a tin of my favorite (and probably the most polarizing) pantry staple, which could apparently be the secret to glowing skin. Who needs Sephora when you have the grocery store?

• I refuse to let my allergies, which are worse than ever, ruin my summer. So I’ll be adding some new tools to my Allegra arsenal. (I’m mad I didn’t discover No. 3 sooner.)

• One of my favorite drugstore beauty brands just dropped its first haircare line, and I’m already halfway to CVS. Particularly since everything is under $10. 

• From now until Labor Day, I’ll be living in this summer-outfit formula. It’s simple, stylish, and virtually impossible to mess up — which has me wondering: Do I need to get a peplum top again?

• I want to get out on a hike soon, and when I do, I’m willing to risk it all to try this unexpected trail snack. Granola bars found dead.

👖 If lavender- and mint-colored skinny jeans had a choke hold on you circa 2012, you’ll want in on the bold summer pants every Fashion Person is wearing. 

🧛 Forget energy vampires — there’s a new term for the people who wear us down, and once you hear it, you’ll immediately think of three people in your life.

💃 No, you’re not imagining things. The season’s hottest wedding-guest dress color is also the most divisive. Well, after white.

🧵 Linen isn’t going anywhere. But the way people are styling it is changing — with all-black outfits leading the charge. Here are the other new rules you need to know.

🩴 We regret to inform you the millennial summer shoe you told us needed to be canceled is back and bigger than ever. We apologize for speaking it into existence.

Remember back in January when we predicted that we’d find out about Zendaya and Tom Holland’s wedding months after the fact? Not to say we told you so, but…we told you so. While making the rounds for the 1,000th Spider-Man movie, Holland took no time to seemingly confirm he and Zendaya are married. Of course, this comes as a surprise to, well, no one. In March, Tomdaya Whistleblower Law Roach appeared to spill the beans in a red carpet interview, sending internet sleuths into are-they-aren’t-they? speculation that Zendaya was more than happy to lean into. Sure, there was that gold wedding band on that finger. But there was also her bridal-fashion-filled press tour for The Drama, including something old (her very first Oscars gown, obviously), something new (featuring a train worthy of the movie’s title), something borrowed (naturally, from Cate Blanchett), and something blue (think: cosplaying as a bioluminescent bay). Pretty ironic timing, needless to say.

But this all feels extremely on-brand for the couple who always seem like they’re in on their own private joke. Case in point: the only Lip Sync Battle that matters (thank you, Amy Poehler, for saying the quiet part out loud); this flirty moment that’s so middle school, it’s actually triggering; their TikTok dance era (this is still unmatched); what we can confidently say is the best IMDb interview in history; all the times 5-foot-8 Holland and 5-foot-10 Zendaya stood up for short kings and tall queens everywhere; and Holland’s Zendaya fan account — sorry, Instagram (exhibit A). Then there’s their latest press tour, in which they’re sporting haircuts that genuinely have us wondering if they share a stylist. Still, one question remains: Will we ever see the actress who’s dressed as a bride a million times dressed as a real one? Or will they put Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s wedding rollout to shame? Fingers crossed we see a Polaroid by 2088. But for now, let’s raise a Bero to the happy couple.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is in full swing, but we’d be lying if we said the matches were the only thing we’d be watching closely. We’ve also got our eyes on the stands, where soccer’s most glamorous WAGs will likely be holding court. For starters, there’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s fiancée, Georgina Rodríguez, who — thanks to her absolute boulder of an engagement ring — you’ll probably spot from the cheap seats. The couple met in a JFK and CBK sort of way, and she’s since become a Met Gala regular and the star of her own reality TV show. Then there’s Antonela Roccuzzo, Lionel Messi’s childhood crush, who married the soccer star in what was dubbed “the wedding of the century.” A certified Disney Adult and Boy Mom, she’s also a Coldplay fan (thankfully, the couple’s kiss-cam moment went much better than that other one). You’ll also want to know Isabel Haugseng Johansen, the longtime girlfriend of Norway’s Erling Haaland, whose interests include kebabs and a certain video game. (Isabel, any chance you can get him to switch up his signature hairstyle now that we can’t unsee this comparison?) Rounding out the list: Ashlyn Castro, a California native dating England’s Jude Bellingham — though honestly, half of why she’s here is her French bulldog, Mojo Jojo. And Ester Expósito, Kylian Mbappé’s rumored girlfriend, who’s a Spanish actress known for Netflix’s Elite (TBD if she’ll take a break from Celebrity Yacht Season to make an appearance). Ladies, something tells us you’ll all make Victoria Beckham proud.

Turns out, no man has ever contained more multitudes than Josh O’Connor. Do you think he made a Challengers scrapbook?

Take the Baby-Sitters Club, turn them into 20- and 30-something influencers, and fly them out to Ibiza to care for the kids of the 1% — and you get Million Dollar Nannies. Equal parts absolutely ridiculous and incredibly entertaining, the new Hulu reality series follows Leah Barrs — whose past clients include a Real Housewife, athletes, and the KarJenner clan — as she and seven other elite nannies launch a childcare agency for the ultrawealthy. The nanfluencers are put to the test as they face demanding parents, elementary schoolers with a taste for caviar, and some…extreme requests (see: using chopsticks to plate the children’s food). We should also probably mention this comes from a Secret Lives of Mormon Wives executive producer, so when the nannies are off duty, expect champagne-drenched yacht parties, beachfront breakdowns, and a heck of a lot of drama. Oh, and if you’re wondering how they’re able to dish about the experience for audiences worldwide — especially with how much emphasis is put on their NDAs? Great question. We have no idea. And we’re not going to ask. 

Verloop Quattro Raffia Beach Tote

Ali, senior commerce director, here. Before a trip to Mexico in April, I picked up this oversized crochet-style tote — and it ended up being exactly what I needed for carrying my things around the resort. It was sturdy and stylish (the bright color blocking screams summer), but more importantly, it held everything: sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a book, and my phone — with plenty of room to spare. The one caveat? The handles were a little uncomfortable on my bare skin, but once I had my cover-up on, that wasn’t an issue. One more pro tip: Clip on a hand sanitizer.
