Jenny Han’s “The Summer I Turned Pretty” television adaptation made a splash last summer with all kinds of young adult romance and drama. Lola Tung brought main character Isabel “Belly” Conklin to life as she returned to Cousins Beach, where she has spent every summer of her childhood with her mother’s best friend Susannah Fisher (Rachel Blanchard) and her sons Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). Belly’s glow-up did not go unnoticed by both Fisher brothers, but she opted to strike up a romance with Cam Cameron (David Iacono) instead before things got a bit messy. A volleyball tournament and debutante ball drove last season’s plot, as did certain relationships.
Season 2 launched July 14 with new episodes rolling out weekly, expanding upon the events that drove the end of Season 1 home — Susannah’s cancer diagnosis, Belly and Conrad’s kiss and more. Kyra Sedgwick and Elsie Fisher...

Catherine Holstein of Khaite and Emily Adams Bode, founder of eponymous brand, Bode, were among the night’s big winners as American Womenswear and Menswear Designers of the Year, respectively. Raul Lopez of Luar, known for its coveted handbags with oversized handles, captured American Accessory Designer of the Year, while Wisconsin-born Elena Velez, who blends a Midwestern aesthetic with gritty details to create looks that feel wholly modern, took home the prize for American Emerging Designer of the Year.

Another Jenny Han adaptation has officially graced the small screen. “The Summer I Turned Pretty” began streaming Friday on Amazon Prime Video. It tells the story of a love triangle between three teenagers who have known each other practically their entire lives.

Um, is it already time for 1989 (Taylor’s Version)?! At midnight, Taylor Swift surprised fans with another tease of what is likely the upcoming re-record of her Grammy Award-winning 2014 album, releasing “This Love (Taylor’s Version).” The drop comes after Swift stocked her official store with both 1989 and Speak Now merch earlier in the day, sending Swifties into a frenzy.
“‘This Love’ (My version!) is out & I’m currently reliving the 1989 tour in my head and spiraling,” Swift wrote on Instagram. “It’s fine.”

This summer is about to be one for the books. The first teaser for Prime Video’s “The Summer I Turned Pretty” adaptation is here.
The clip, which you can watch above, opens with Belly (played by Lola Tung) arriving at Cousins Beach for the summer. As the car pulls up the driveway, she says in a voiceover: “I thought this summer was going to be like all the other summers, but it’s not because I won’t let it be.”
She’s quickly reunited with her brother’s best friends, Conrad and Jeremiah, with whom she will soon become entangled in a love triangle.
The rest of the teaser features some tender (and some awkward) moments between the three of them as their feelings develop over that one summer. Oh, and did we mention that it’s set to the tune of a new Taylor Swift re-recording?
That’s right.
