Serena Williams swapped her usual honey-blonde for an icy, frosty silver shade at the Airbnb.org Gala in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28. She wore the hair in long waves with a deep side part and a hand-beaded animal-print gown by Clio Peppiatt. Fans praised the look in her comments. She first wore platinum waves at a 2024 Paris Olympics party.
Thousands of fans lined downtown Milwaukee on Friday for a parade celebrating the Brewers' first World Series title, won Wednesday with a 4-1 Game 5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Players walked part of the route high-fiving fans and stopped for a photo with the trophy in front of a mural honoring Bob Uecker. The rally ended with Daniel Vogelbach singing karaoke, after Robin Yount rode onstage on Uecker's Harley-Davidson. Officials had expected about 400,000 people; Milwaukee Public Schools canceled classes.
