“I’ve always loved the SKIMS Cotton Collection,” Cardi said in a statement. “It’s so sexy and makes me feel snatched yet comfortable while hanging out at home. The new styles and colors I wore on set are even better, and I can’t wait to wear them all the time.”

The campaign features Cardi in fan-favorite pieces from SKIMS’ Cotton Collection with a few updates, including new branded waistbands, new cuts and new colors.

For the campaign, a red-headed Cardi poses in a sleeveless long dress ($78), scoop bralette ($36) and boy short ($24), plunge bralette ($36), cotton rib legging ($54) and more. The new pieces will be available in seasonal green and off-white, but they probably won’t be in stock for long. The collection drops on Oct. 19 at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT.

Barry Manilow Pays Tribute to ‘Sister I Never Had’ Suzanne Somers After ‘Three’s Company’ Star’s Death

Barry Manilow paid tribute to his good friend Suzanne Somers on Sunday (Oct. 15) after the 76-year-old Three’s Company star’s death was announced earlier in the day. “Suzanne and I were friends for decades. She was the sister I never had and my close confidant forever. We shared triumphs and heartaches,” wrote Manilow in a tweet alongside a photo of the two in younger days.

“Her fame in so many fields overshadowed her real talent as one of our greatest comedic actors, a loving mother, an amazing homemaker, and one of the world’s best cooks,” he added. “I will miss her dearly and hope that she is now out of pain and at peace.”

Somers died over the weekend after a more than 20 year battle with breast cancer. “Suzanne Somers passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of October 15th,” read a statement from her publicist and longtime friend R. Couri Hay. “Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband Alan, her son Bruce, and her immediate family.” Somer’s death came just one day before her 77th birthday.

The actress was best known for her role as the bubbly neighbor Chrissy Snow on ABC’s Three’s Company (1977-1981), which she followed by releasing more than two dozen wellness books, headlining a show in Las Vegas, hosting a talk show (The Suzanne Show) and becoming a fitness entrepreneur via her ubiquitous commercials for the ThighMaster exercise device. Somers revealed earlier this year that she was diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer after she’d previously been diagnosed with the disease in the early 2000s.

Jada Pinkett Smith Says She and Will Smith ‘Working Hard’ to Reconcile, Heal Their Relationship

After a week of slow-drip bombshell revelations about her relationship with Will Smith while promoting her upcoming memoir, Worthy, Jada Pinkett Smith told The Today Show on Monday morning (Oct. 16) that the couple are working to reconcile and rebuild their fractured marriage.

“There’s no finding another great love, and I think that’s the point,” Pinkett Smith said. “It’s like we are in a place now that we are in a deep, healing space. And we are really concentrating on healing the relationship between us.”

The update came after Pinkett Smith revealed last week that the two have been living “separate lives” for the past seven years — while presenting a unified front in public — and that though they are not legally divorced they have not been together for many years.

“There’s no divorce on paper. We really have been working hard. That’s the whole thing. We are working very hard at bringing our relationship together. Back to a life partnership,” Pinkett Smith told Today co-host Hoda Kotb. “Here’s the thing about husband-wife marriage for me, for my healing process,” she said. “I came into that with very specific ideas that were blocks to me seeing Will as who he is. He can’t be this perfect, ideal guy husband. I have to be able to accept him for the human that he is, he accepts me for the human that I am. And we want to love each other there.”

In a New York Times interview, Pinkett Smith said one of the other things that shocked her about her estranged husband’s attack on Chris Rock at last years Academy Awards was when Smith shouted “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth!” after violently slapping the comedian across the face after he made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s bald hairstyle; the actress suffers from alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.

“Even though we hadn’t been calling each other husband and wife in a long time, I said, ‘I’m his wife now. We in this.’ That’s just who I am,” Pinkett Smith told the paper: “That’s the gift I have to offer, like, ‘Hey, I’m riding with you.’” Though not divorced, not in an open relationship or polyamorous, Pinkett Smith said she and Will are in an agreement they refer to as a “relationship of transparency.”

Will Smith told the Times in an email statement that Jada’s memoir “kind of woke him up,” adding that, “when you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.”

The 52-year-old actress/singer also told the Times that as a 50th birthday present to herself she bought her own place in Calabasas, where the couple also shared a home together; the book reveals that the Smiths have been separated since 2017.

In speaking to Kotb last week for a prime-time special, Pinkett Smith described the breakdown of the relationship. “I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying,” she said. “I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.”

Jada and Will were married in 1997, with son Jaden born a year later, followed by daughter Willow in 2000.

Everybody was talking about her in great light and on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course.”
