Fans Suspect That This Subtle Dress Detail Could Determine the Ending of "The Summer I Turned Pretty"

Amazon Prime In season 3, episode 4 ofThe Summer I Turned Pretty, a dress that looks a lot like Belly's purple prom dress was seen in the background as she shops for a dress for her wedding to his brother Jeremiah Belly wore the purple dress while with her then-boyfriend, Jeremiah's brother, Conrad, in season 2 Some fans feel this easter egg was meant to subtly illustrate Belly's lingering feelings for Conrad Astute fans have noticed a possible easter egg forThe Summer I Turned Pretty's ending after watching the Wednesday, July 30, episode. In season 3, episode 4, Belly (Lola Tung) begs her mother Laurel (Jackie Chung) to go wedding dress shopping with her, while Laurel disapproves of her engagement to Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno) on account of their ages and Belly's status as a college student. While dress shopping with her best friend Taylor Jewel (Rain Spencer) and her mom Lucinda (Kristen Connolly), she settles on a simple floor-length white satin gown – but because of her tight budget, they are shopping in a prom dress store. A near-exact replica of the season 2 prom dress Belly wore with Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) is seen in the background. Prime Video In the scene, the lavender floral-decal and chiffon dress can be seen hanging from a hook in the fitting room behind Belly. Since Conrad was Belly's first love before Jeremiah, some fans feel that this could be a hint that she ends up with Conrad due to her lingering feelings for her history with him. One user wrote in a post shared onXabout the scene, "her choosing a simple/plain dress but the one in the back looks just like her prom one which reminds us belly doesn't just want simple." https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf Others cracked jokes about the simplicity of the dress after the tiny engagement ring that Jeremiah gave her the previous week. "belly's wedding dress at least it'd match the small ring Jeremiah got for her lmfao#tsitp3this is so unserious oh my lord .. 'wedding dress' from a prom dress store mind u," another user wrote onX. The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on authorJenny Han's series of novels of the same name originally published in 2009, follows Belly (Tung, 22) as she navigates adolescence, and a love triangle between brothers Jeremiah (Casalegno, 25) and Conrad Fisher (Briney, 27). While viewers share the easter eggs they spot every week, Han's books conclude with Belly choosing Conrad over his brother Jeremiah, ending the long-running love triangle. However, some viewers aren't convinced – especially since Han, 44, once said that she doesn't like "too neat of an ending" in an interview with theWild Card with Rachel Martinpodcast.

Beyoncé's Levi's jeans ad pulled into Sydney Sweeney backlash

Beyoncé's Levi's jeans ad pulled into Sydney Sweeney backlash

ABeyoncéad for Levi's jeans is being compared toSydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle campaign, but other social media users argue the two are far from similar. "Euphoria" star Sweeneyis facing backlash as the face ofAmerican Eagle's newest campaign. Thedenim adand its tagline "Sydney Sweeneyhas great jeans" drew sharp criticism online with some users accusing the brand of promoting eugenics. In a campaign video, Sweeney lies in a full denim ensemble as she leans into wordplay: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue." The camera then shows Sweeney's blue eyes before a message reads, "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." The criticism wasn't about the denim itself, but the language used. Social media users argued the phrase "great genes" paired with a blond-haired, blue-eyed starechoed eugenicideas — the discredited belief in improving humanity through selective breeding. Some also argued it contributed to the glorification of whiteness. Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle, oh my god.pic.twitter.com/tDkeGT9R7G — Sydney Sweeney Daily (@sweeneydailyx)July 24, 2025 Eventually,Beyoncé's recent Levi's campaign,where she poses in a similar position in a denim-on-demin outfit with blond hair,was dragged into the discourse. So Beyoncé can pose in Levi jeans and it's art…But when a white woman does it, it's a national crisis?pic.twitter.com/aWu3h6nrL8 — Desiree (@DesireeAmerica4)July 29, 2025 One userwrote, "SoBeyoncécan pose in Levi jeans and it's art… But when a white woman does it, it's a national crisis?" as she shared a photo of the two ads side-by-side. However, many were quick to point out the differences between the two. Just going to leave this pic from Beyoncé Levi's campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist…pic.twitter.com/ZyeMF6ouCI — Nicole Saphier, MD (@NBSaphierMD)July 30, 2025 Another said, "Just going to leave this pic form Beyoncé Levi's campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist..." A userresponded,"No one said that, what was said though was that the ad's inference that blonde hair and blue eyes are superior." The Grammy-winning singer announced hercollaboration with Levi'slast fall. She has since released multiple campaigns with the denim powerhouse. But she has never alluded to genes or genetics, focusing solely on the quality and design of the jeans themselves. One social media user,@dukepege, takes this notion a step deeper: "At what point will it be fully understood that proclaiming or implying 'my genes (jeans) are better' is frightening to any race who's ancestors for long generations have had to suffer at the hands of the very same race of people with the same kind of thinking — that their genes are superior?" He added, "No, such statements are not benign; they are echoes of a violent and dehumanizing history and the fact that you involve Beyoncé explains very well how you're still unable to comprehend what's being felt." The conversation comes after Beyoncé was baselesslypulled into another controversywhen PresidentDonald Trumpaccused her ofbeing paid $11 million to endorse Kamala Harris' presidential bid— a payment thethe Federal Election Commission has no record of. The Grammy-winning singer concluded herCowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tourin Las Vegas on July 26. The 32-stop stadium tour became the highest grossing country tour,earning over $400 million.

Pentagon recalls another 1,000 National Guard troops from Los Angeles

Pentagon recalls another 1,000 National Guard troops from Los Angeles

The Pentagon has withdrawn more than a thousand National Guard troops sent to Los Angeles, further scaling back President Donald Trump's controversial deployment. Defense SecretaryPete Hegsethon July 30 recalled 1,350 California National Guardsmen assigned to protect federal buildings and personnel amid public uproarfollowing recent Immigration and Customs Enforcementraidsacross the city and Southern California. The troop withdrawal comes with about a week left in what the White House described as a 60-day deployment that started on June 7. Two weeks ago the administration called back2,000 California National Guardsmenfrom their assignments in Los Angeles. Troop withdrawal, phase 1:Pentagon pulls 2,000 National Guard members from Los Angeles in immigration rollback Approximately 250 troops will remain in Los Angeles to protect personnel and property, the Pentagon said. At the peak of their deployment, nearly 5,000 service members weredispatched to the region: most were National Guard troops, but Trumpalso sent 700 Marinesto guard federal property in the city. The troops were directed tosuppress protestsand to protect ICE agents conducting immigration raids. Several California Democratic lawmakerscriticized the June deployment, calling it anoverreach of presidential authority, accusing Trump of inciting violence.Trump'sresponse at the time was that "Los Angeles would be burning right now" without the military presence. CaliforniaGov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat,suedthe Trump administration, alleging the deployment was unlawful. A San Franciscoappeals court ruledthat the troops could remain. Newsom said July 30 ina post on Xthat Trump's "chaotic, needless takeover of the California National Guard, his political theatrics in LA have blown up in his face." "President Trump is realizing that his political theater backfired. This militarization was always unnecessary and deeply unpopular," Newsom said ina statement. Raids and deportations has a heavy cost:Deportations are taking a toll on California's economy - and have only just begun Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also viewed the deployment as a "political stunt" and said in aJuly 30 post on Xthe withdrawal was a "win." Bass said she would continue to pressure the administration until "ALL troops are out of L.A." Hegseth responded to Bass in an X post of his own. "You're welcome Mayor. These brave troops are redeploying because their mission was so successful. You should be thanking them for saving your city from mobs & chaos," Hegseth said. "We will continue to support law enforcement – even when you won't." The troop deployment has been estimated to cost about $134 million, according to the Pentagon.

Dozens of countries with no deals face higher tariffs as trade deadline looms

Dozens of countries with no deals face higher tariffs as trade deadline looms

WASHINGTON (AP) — Numerous countries around the world are facing the prospect of much higher duties on their exports to the United States on Aug. 7, a potential blow to the global economy, because they haven't yet reached a trade deal with theTrumpadministration. President Donald Trump had threatened to impose the newtariffson Aug. 1 but delayed the deadline by a week just hours before they were supposed to take effect. Some of the United States' biggest trading partnershave reached agreements, or at least the outlines of one, including theEuropean Union, theUnited Kingdom, andJapan. Even so, those countries face much higher tariffs than were in effect before Trump took office. And other large trading partners — most notablyChinaandMexico— received an extension to keep negotiating, but they will likely end up paying more. Trump intends the duties to bring backmanufacturingto the United States, while also forcing other countries to reduce their trade barriers to U.S. exports. Trump argues that foreign exporters will pay the cost of the tariffs, but so far economists have found that most are being paid by U.S. companies. And measures of U.S. inflation havestarted to tick higheras prices of imported goods, such as furniture, appliances, and toys rise. Countries without an agreement face duties ranging between 10% and 40%, according to Trump's executive order signed on Thursday. That includes large economies such as Canada, Taiwan, and India, as well as many smaller countries like South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and eventiny Lesotho. Will the deadline hold this time? Trump's originalApril 2 "Liberation Day"announcement threatened to impose import taxes of up to 50% on nearly 60 countries and economies, including the 27-nation European Union. Those duties, originally scheduled for April 9, were then postponed twice, first to July 9 and then Aug. 1. On Wednesday, Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social, "THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IS THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE — IT STANDS STRONG, AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED." As of Thursday afternoon, White House representatives — and Trump himself — had insisted that no more delays were possible. But when Trumpsigned the orderThursday night imposing new tariffs on 68 countries and the European Union, the start date of the punishing import taxes waspushed back seven daysso that the tariff schedule could be updated. The change — while potentially welcome news to countries that had not yet reached a deal with the U.S. — injected a new dose of uncertainty for consumers and businesses still wondering what's going to happen and when. Which countries have a trade agreement? In a flurry of last minute deal-making, the Trump has been announcing agreements as late as Thursday, but they are largely short on details. On Thursday, the U.S. and Pakistanreached a trade agreementexpected to allow Washington to help develop Pakistan's largely untappedoil reservesand lower tariffs for the South Asian country. And on Wednesday, Trump announced a deal with South Korea that would impose 15% tariffs on goods from that country. That is below the 25% duties that Trump threatened in April. Agreements have also been reached with the European Union,Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam,the Philippines, and the United Kingdom. The agreement with the Philippines barely reduced the tariff it will pay, from 20% to 19%. And which countries don't? Of the 68 countries, along with the EU, that appear in Trump's executive order, the majority do not have deals. That includes Algeria, now facing a tariff of 30%; Iraq at 35%; Syria at 41%, Switzerland at 39% and Taiwan at 20%. Trump had already slapped large duties on Brazil and India even before the August deadline was reached. In the case of Brazil, Trump signed an executive order late Wednesday imposing a 50% duty on imports, though he exempted several large categories, including aircraft, aluminum, and energy products. Trump isangry at Brazil's governmentbecause it is prosecuting its former president, Jair Bolsonaro, for attempting to overturn his election loss in 2022. Trump was indicted on a similar charge in 2023. While Trump has sought to justify the widespread tariffs as an effort to combat the United States' chronic trade deficits, the U.S. actually has a trade surplus with Brazil — meaning it sells more goods and services to Brazil than it buys from that country. Late Wednesday, Trump said that India wouldpay a 25% dutyon all its exports, in part because it has continued to purchase oil from Russia. On Thursday, the White House said it had extended the deadline to reach a deal with Mexico for another 90 days, citing the complexity of the trade relationship, which is governed by the trade agreement Trump reached when he updated NAFTA in his first term. For smaller countries caught in Trump's cross hairs, the Aug. 1 deadline is particularly difficult because the White House has acknowledged they aren't able to negotiate with every country facing tariff threats.Lesotho,for example, a small country in southern Africa, was hit with a 50% duty on April 2, and even though it was postponed, the threat has already devastated its apparel industry, costing thousands of jobs. On Thursday, the country faced a 15% tariff. "There's 200 countries,'' the president acknowledgedearlier this month. "You can't talk to all of them.'' ___ AP Writers Josh Boak and Wyatte Grantham-Philipps contributed to this report.
