Tilda Swinton is set to publish her debut memoir, Material Evidence, in the fall of 2028.

The book, published through Farrar, Straus and Giroux, “refuses the shape of a conventional life story, in favor of something closer to how memory actually works: associative, sensory, anchored in things,” according to a post shared on the publisher’s Instagram account on Thursday.

Unlike many memoirs, Material Evidence will not follow a chronological format. Instead, the book will tell Swinton’s story through objects, including “a christening dress, a letter, a wooden leg, a sweatshirt, a length of embroidery silk [and] a photograph.”

“Material Evidence is a book about curiosity,” Swinton said in the post. “A trail of breadcrumbs through the forest. And an essay in wonder: I hope that by the time it closes, its reader might feel affirmed and recharged with energy to value the difference between that elusive spirit that we each, uniquely, constitute, which changes constantly — evolving and developing — and that solid matter which stays the same in its essence — and consistently repays and feeds us, the world around us and all the things in it that make up our singular lives.”

FSG president Mitzi Angel said in a statement posted to Instagram that she has “long admired Tilda Swinton’s unique way of seeing things.”

“The objects she contemplates in her enchanting book vibrate with meaning and memory — and through that contemplation she brings us the story of life,” Angel added. “Material Evidence is full of humor, insight and appreciation for detail that might otherwise go unnoticed. I couldn’t be more delighted that Tilda Swinton joins FSG with this extraordinarily unusual and moving book.”

Material Evidence is Swinton’s second published book. The Oscar winner released her first book, Tilda Swinton: Ongoing, in September 2025. An art book highlighting her career, fashion and artistic collaborations, Ongoing was published under Rizzoli International Publications.

Swinton told press at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2025 that she was looking forward to doing “something different” after a 40-year career in film. The winner of an Oscar, a BAFTA and a European Film Award, Swinton has starred in several critically acclaimed movies and blockbusters, including Michael Clayton and The Chronicles of Narnia series.

“I can tell you that when I go home on Monday to Scotland, I’m entering something that I’ve been looking forward to for about 15 years — which is a period of my life when I do something different,” Swinton said at the time. “I can’t quite say what it is, but I can say I’m not shooting a film for the rest of this year. I want more time.”

The late Rob and Michele Reiner dedicated countless hours to advocating on behalf many causes and organizations, and one remained close to their hearts for years: Children’s Institute in Los Angeles.

Founded in 1906, the org now serves upwards of 30,000 children and families across the city in underserved neighborhoods by providing education, counseling, parenting support, meeting spots and enrichment programs all under a mission of helping build pathways to success, economic mobility and good health. Not only did the cause align with the Reiners’ broader work with children and families but Michele’s sister, Martine Singer, has served as president and CEO for nearly a decade.

Together with Reiner children, Jake and Romy, Children’s Institute has created the Michele and Rob Reiner Champion for Change Award, an honor designed to recognize the late couple’s “lifelong commitment to improving the lives of children and families and strengthening communities across Los Angeles, throughout California, and beyond.”

The inaugural award will be presented at the org’s Cape & Gown Gala at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, California, on Nov. 8, and they’ve zeroed in on a recipient who not only has championed children, families and communities through philanthropy, advocacy and storytelling but was close to the Reiners: Oscar and Emmy winner Jamie Lee Curtis. Also confirmed to perform at the gala is Grammy winner John Mayer, who has ties to the Reiners as well, as he wrote and performed “Say” (aka “Say (What You Need to Say)”) as an original track for the 2007 Rob Reiner-directed dramedy The Bucket List starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.

“I can’t think of a more meaningful way to honor the legacy of my sister Michele and my brother-in-law Rob,” Singer said. “I had the privilege of watching them devote their lives to creating a more just and compassionate world for children and families. Their work was never about recognition — it was about making a lasting difference.”

Both Jake and Romy Reiner offered statements about the meaningful moment. “Our parents taught us what it means to be good, decent human beings. And they didn’t just talk about it; they led by example. They took the unconditional love they had for us and applied it to all their advocacy work, that includes their support for Children’s Institute and our aunt Martine,” said Jake Reiner, who recently spoke with ABC 7 about the tragic murders of his parents.

Added Romy: “Not only were they incredibly proud of Martine for the way that she has led the organization, but they believed so much in the goal of CII. When Martine asked us if they could name the award after them, it was not only an honor but made complete sense. To have our parents’ names connected to CII’s work on behalf of children and families is a meaningful continuation of what they stood for.”

In addition to her screen work as an actress and producer, Curtis is also a bestselling author who has released 14 children’s books, including the New York Times bestsellers Today I Feel Silly and Big Words for Little People. She released the most recent, Just One More Sleep, in 2024. She’s got deep ties to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and has raised nearly $2 million for the organization through her charitable initiative My Hand in Yours. Curtis has long said that she’s guided by the principle of “love and service” in her work, something she applies as a passionate advocate for those in recovery as a sober person herself.

“I am so deeply honored to receive this award as a testament to the extraordinary legacy that Michele and Rob shared with so many of us. They didn’t just create together. They lived a life of service, building something greater than themselves and giving so much to the world around them. And that is something worth honoring again and again,” said Curtis. “The world needs so much more of what they gave us: their love, their courage, and their joy. I am forever grateful to carry a small part of their legacy forward.”

As for the Reiners, they provided leadership in establishing First 5 California through the voter-approved tobacco tax initiative, which raised north of $12.5 billion over the years to support early childhood development, health and school readiness. They also worked tirelessly for civil rights and equality, and helped champion the legal effort that restored marriage rights for same-sex couples in California.

Sometimes the most significant fashion trends are truly the least complicated. Exhibit A: the double-lace shoe. It’s exactly what it sounds like — doubling up contrasting laces on a single sneaker — and yet, it delivers a whole new color or textural element to a simple pair of trainers.

While New Balance x Miu Miu’s double-lace design wasn’t invented in a vacuum, the high-end, low-profile kicks can surely take some credit for popularizing the style. Cut to 2026: In addition to Miu Miu, which continues to implement this doubled up element, dozens of best-selling brands and premium labels are mirroring the look.

Each season, Nordstrom curates a “What’s Hot Now” trend guide, breaking down the pieces, patterns and aesthetics dominating the fashion space. At the top of the list for fall 2026? Animal Prints, ’90s archival workwear and, of course, double-lace shoes.

John Galliano is bringing his particular brand of couture alchemy to Zara, without the couture price tag. The British designer’s first Re{form} Zara collection arrives Oct. 1 at 1 a.m. PT/4 a.m. ET (10 a.m. CEST) with prices starting at $29.90.

This kicks off a two-year partnership that puts an unusual premise at the center of the designer collaboration: Galliano isn’t simply designing a new collection for Zara. He’s taking garments from the retailer’s past seasons and pulling them apart, shifting their proportions and rebuilding them through his own design vocabulary.

Given John Galliano’s name recognition, the collection’s relatively accessible price point and the anticipation surrounding his return to a major global retailer, expect some of the most sought-after pieces to move quickly.

In Galliano’s hands, that means even the most ordinary Zara pieces are fair game. A lace-trimmed slip dress moves upward on the body until it becomes an extravagant jabot at the neck. A cotton shirt, sized up several times over, becomes a jacket with a trompe l’oeil leather print. On a wool-blend coat, pockets migrate backward, lapels grow and the hemline stretches into tails.

The transformations are dramatic, but the techniques behind them are familiar Galliano territory. Bias cutting, transparent layers of tulle, technical tailoring and historical dress references run throughout Re{form}, alongside cropped tailcoats, clinging dresses and elongated bicorne hats. Several silhouettes look back to Les Incroyables, the dandies of post-revolutionary France who also inspired Galliano’s 1984 Central Saint Martins graduation collection, which helped launch his career.

For a more recent reference point, look no further than Maison Margiela.

Galliano’s spring 2024 Artisanal couture show for the house became one of the defining fashion moments of that year. Staged beneath Paris’ Pont Alexandre III, the theatrical collection sent models down the runway in extreme corsetry, sheer dresses and dramatically manipulated silhouettes. Pat McGrath’s porcelain-like “glass doll” makeup became nearly as talked-about as the clothes, inspiring a wave of social media recreations and tutorials.

Re{form} is obviously operating on a very different scale, but the fascination with transforming the familiar remains. This time, instead of couture ateliers starting from scratch, Galliano’s raw material includes the kind of Zara shirt or slip dress that might already be hanging in someone’s closet.

The timing also gives Re{form} an added layer of significance. In August, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Galliano announced that John Galliano: Horizons, a Costume Institute exhibition planned for spring 2027, would no longer move forward. Just weeks later, his next major fashion chapter is unfolding somewhere very different: Zara.

Against that backdrop, Zara represents a considerably more mainstream platform for Galliano’s work. The partnership is expected to span seasonal collections over two years, with the retailer describing the project as an exercise in deconstructing and reconfiguring clothes from its previous seasons into new designs.

And while a Galliano-designed Dior couture piece sold for 663,000 euros earlier this year, entry into Re{form} requires considerably less commitment.

How to Shop the John Galliano Zara Collection 2026

The collection starts at $29.90 and launches Oct. 1 on Zara.com and at select Zara stores. Shoppers eyeing a particular piece may not want to linger: With Galliano’s first Zara drop arriving after months of anticipation, the standout styles are expected to go fast.

Will Reeve, a correspondent and anchor for Good Morning America and the son of the late Superman actor Christopher Reeve, is opening up about his journey after being diagnosed with testicular cancer earlier this year.

“I was raised to share one’s struggles if, in doing so, that might help others,” he recently told People. Reeve was diagnosed in the spring, but as of a Sept. 8 check-up, he is now cancer-free.

“Watching my parents up close take the adversity they faced in their lives and repurpose it into something hopeful left a major impact on my life and how I try to live it,” the anchor said, which inspired him to share his health story publicly.

Will was two years old when his father, Christopher, was paralyzed from the neck down after being thrown from a horse in 1995. Nearly a decade later, Christopher died in 2004 at the age of 52, and his mother, Dana Reeve, died in 2006 at age 44 from lung cancer.

He acknowledged that he’s “had a lot happen in my life. But none of it until now had happened to me in a way.” Reeve initially found a tender lump on one of his testicles in the shower in April. While he “assumed it was nothing or would go away,” it was his wife, Amanda Dubin Reeve, who urged him to get an ultrasound.

The following month, the GMA anchor underwent an orchiectomy to remove the cancerous testicle, which is a standard surgical procedure when someone is diagnosed with testicular cancer.

“I was more nervous about the unknown of the surgery rather than the overwhelming realization that I would be losing an essential part of my body forever,” he admitted to People.

Further testing revealed that the cancer spread to the lymph nodes in his abdomen, leading him to undergo a six-hour surgery in June to remove them and then two rounds of chemotherapy that concluded at the end of July.

“The irony is not lost on me that 20 years after my mom died of lung cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering, there I was in the same building getting treated for cancer,” Reeve shared, also praising Amanda for taking on “the role of wife and caregiver” during this difficult time, similar to how his mom cared for his dad.

After Reeve was declared cancer-free earlier this month, he’ll now have scans and bloodwork three to four times a year to monitor for any chance of cancer returning.

“My colleagues at ABC are like family to me and have been with me every step of the way,” he added. “I’m fortunate that I caught this early. Yes, I had to jump through some flaming hoops to get to the other side, but it could have been much worse had I ignored it or delayed going to the doctor.”

Lattes, candles and, for the second year running, cinnamony shots of caffeine.

Pumpkin spice, one of the most unshakable seasonal trends, continues to expand its scope courtesy of 5-Hour Energy’s latest viral entry. Initially released in 2025 alongside Cranberry Lime and Gingerbread Snap, the limited-edition flavor is back by popular demand.

The nostalgia-fueled caffeine boost was relaunched for fall 2026 in tandem with the brand-new Caramel Apple shot. Both are joined by the brand’s first-ever Halloween Variety Pack, featuring four candy-inspired flavors: Ghoulish Grape, Cobweb Candy, Fright Fetti and Candy Cauldron.

Back to pumpkin spice season, 5-Hour Energy’s unexpected fan favorite features rich pumpkin and warm cinnamon flavors complemented by notes of nutmeg and clove. As for the energy boost, the Extra Strength shot contains 230 mg of caffeine (about the same as a Starbucks tall coffee), along with B-vitamins and essential nutrients. It contains zero sugar and zero calories.

The creative offerings and ever-expanding flavor profiles come as 5-Hour Energy simultaneously makes moves into the mocktail market, with a series of original drink creations designed to provide the same “buzz” of alcohol – minus the hangover. To execute this concept, the brand partnered with former Las Vegas bartender, Jason Puckly, to craft the recipes.

Other new flavors from 5-Hour Energy include Peppermint Mocha, Jelly Donut, Boston Cream Donut and a Candy Cane Variety Pack (Peppermint Mocha paired with Frosty Float and Raspberry Sorbet). And while supplies last, Firework Freeze, one of the frozen-treat-inspired summer 2026 offerings, is still available online in limited quantities.
