Happy Saturday. I guarantee no one had a better Thanksgiving than Sydney Sweeney, who broke from the usual festivities for a week-long Friendsgiving — complete with a cleverly named yet deeply random-themed costume party. I can’t say I’ll ever match that level of Friendsgiving enthusiasm, but there are a few things from this week that I do feel that passionate about:
Kendall Jenner deserves a Nobel Prize for bringing back this lazy-girl hairstyle, which is just as chic yet 10 times easier to pull off than the slicked-back ponytail.
If you thought there was nothing more rich-looking than burgundy, allow me to introduce you to its slightly more vibrant cousin — aka “2026’s Most Elegant Color Trend.”
As the president of the Almost Famous Fan Club, I’m thrilled to report that not only is this iconic coat having a revival, but it’s even cooler than I remember.
No one is doing cheeky style better than Alexander Skarsgård, as evidenced by this statement-making T-shirt (Pedro Pascal, you’ve been beat).

Who Needs Takeout When You Have This Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe?
theSkimm
We are dangerously close to the time of year when takeout becomes a main food group and meal prep sounds utterly laughable. That’s where The Woks of Life’s Egg Roll in a Bowl comes in: It’s an easy dinner you can make tonight and keep in your rotation when things get chaotic. The protein- and fiber-packed meal is basically a deconstructed version of the Chinese-American classic, loaded with savory ground meat, shredded cabbage and carrots (store-bought coleslaw mix for the win), and a sweet-and-salty sauce that tastes almost identical to the real deal. Top it with crispy wonton strips — and prepare to have a moment of silence for your go-to takeout spot.
The Time Commitment: Just25 minutes.
Key Tips: One of the best parts of this recipe? It requires minimal chopping. But for even more authentic flavor, add sliced celery — well worth the extra two minutes of work. You can also throw in cooked shrimp (for additional protein) or serve it over rice, quinoa, or your favorite grain.
Other Takes: For more quick, restaurant-worthy dinners that’ll shrink your Uber Eats budget, try…
This 30-Minute Beef & Broccoli, featuring velvety flank steak, crunchy broccoli, and lots of saucy goodness — which probably explains why over a million people have bookmarked it.
One Pot Golden Salmon Fried Rice. Sure, this last-minute dinner hero is simple, flavorful, and deeply comforting. But the trick for ensuring you always have leftover rice handy is worth the click alone.
