That's pinteresting...
FASHION: Pin it to win it. Fashion icons everywhere have been flaunting the new going out look of the season (drumroll please 🥁): the pin top. Held together by close to nothing, it might be the level of risqué we all need after being stuck in our sweats for a year. And while Hailey Bieber gets credit for starting the trend, it was EmRata's look that drew a good deal of attention from Page Six (but what's new?) Also seen flaunting the look are Ari Grande during her Vevo live performance, Bella Hadid at Jacquemus' La Montagne show, and Kendall Jenner actually in Jacquemus' La Montagne show. So go snag yours, if you dare... (But might we suggest a backup pin? Cause that wardrobe malfunction would take #freethenip to a whole new level.)
JUSTICE: Momma didn't raise no quitter... but Daddy's making it hard not to. In an Outrageous Instagram post, a furious Britney spent the weekend roasting her family (as she should) and slamming the conservatorship for "killing her dreams." The Princess of Pop (and queen of our hearts) refuses to resume her career until justice is served. Until then... no more Work B*tch!
SOCIAL MEDIA: Imitation is the sincerest form of... appropriation? After their content has been continually copied without permission, Black TikTok creators are on strike from creating viral dances on the app, leaving amateur choreographers everywhere to fend for themselves. (Savage, indeed.)

🎶 I got my driver's license last week... and don't know what car to buy. A new study finds 80% of women aren't represented in car marketing. C'mon... even Batman knows chicks love the car.
It's OK Not To Be OK
MENTAL HEALTH: Demi Lovato is partnering with Talkspace, a mobile therapy company, to donate 1,000 months of free therapy. The initiative, called Talkspace Access Project, will provide underserved communities with increased access to mental health resources. The first of these recipients will be The Loveland Foundation, an organization dedicated to creating opportunity for communities of color, and especially Black women and girls. With almost 80% of Americans feeling increased stress from the pandemic, the demand for therapy is undoubtedly at an all-time high. But with over 50% of American adults fully vaccinated, hopefully we'll all be feeling more Confident soon.
FASHION: Supernaturals just launched, and no, we don't mean the Netflix series. The new indigenous modeling agency based in Canada aims to bring greater representation to the runway. And although diversity in fashion has increased in recent years (exhibit A: Victoria's Secret's major rebranding), the co-founders of Supernaturals say it is the lack of representation for indigenous people that led them to launch their agency. In the words of Tyra, we truly are "witnessing a beauty revolution."
STRONG FEMALE LEADS: Speaking of fashion, style icon Princess Diana would've turned 60 this year, and the world has taken to Twitter to honor her memory. Meanwhile, Julianne Moore—who actually turned 60—is sick of the term "aging gracefully." She's asking people to denormalize the phrase (and calling it "totally sexist") because it's not like we have a choice about how we age (though Gwyneth Paltrow might have some tips for that).

2. In the spirit of promoting self expression, Willow Smith shaved her head in the middle of her "Whip My Hair" performance. What could be more random? The fact that Adele is dating Lebron James' manager, Rich Paul.
3. 🦓👙: "You want me?" Everyone: "I want you baby." Dua Lipa's zebra print bikini is the most wanted swimsuit of the summer.
