Gen-Zs Call These Shoes Old. Here's What Is Considered Trendy Now https://ift.tt/QYG4K2c A viral video has exposed a surprising trend among young women: donning high heels to go out is now so outdated, according to Gen Z. The New York Post reported that the video, filmed on a Friday night at a local bar, showed a venue filled with young women dressed in jeans, a nice top, and comfy sneakers. While jeans and a nice top have long been staples in millennial wardrobes, the choice of flat footwear marks a radical departure from the fashion norms of yesteryear. High heels, once a requisite for a night out, have come to symbolise the old. To any woman who grew up before social media and smartphones, ending the night holding their heels was a kind of rite of passage. Gen Z has eschewed tradition for comfort and practical footwear best suited to dancing and crawling. The global pandemic has swayed preferences in footwear; the most recent data received shows increased sales in flats and low-heels while interest in high-heels drops. This shift has made it easier for the younger generation to distinguish themselves from the older set. According to The New York Post, comments on a recent viral video shared by a TikTok users reflect mixed opinions. Some users yearn for the past, where one used to get dressed up, while others embrace the comfort of the new trend. One Reddit user put it best: "Heels scream try-hard-old-person." Even with the change, there was still a yearning for that ritual of dressing up; as one commenter so astutely said, "The best part of going out was getting all dolled up," and the online responses definitely concurred. Another remarked about past nightclub dress codes: "I remember when we couldn't enter a nightclub if we had jeans on." https://ift.tt/7p84slI August 03, 2024 at 09:49AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

The rule was introduced by UK's Excel Parking Services to stop people from loitering and to prevent drivers from using the car park as a pickup area for the nearby cinema without paying. Entry to the car park is monitored by ANPR cameras, which capture a record of the time of entry and exit. Also Read | US Woman Makes ₹ 66 Lakh From Dumpster Diving Find Since 2021, Ms Robinson has accumulated 67 fines, at around 170 pounds (Rs 18,000) each, which she says she always pays to park, but this new rule states customers must purchase their ticket within five minutes of arrival. There is no internet connectivity inside the car park, so she can't often make this transaction. Ms Robinson feels that this ruling is hitting hard on drivers who park legitimately, as the fines have run into a lot of money despite her trying to adhere to the parking requirements. She told BBC News: "It's ridiculous. I paid for it....I've been trying for the full five minutes. They just don't care. I've done absolutely everything I can to get in touch with them." "All this just to park my car to come to work." Other drivers the BBC spoke to who had been caught out said the five minute limit could be difficult for those with mobility issues or children. https://ift.tt/3lUMv2n August 03, 2024 at 07:56AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Watch: Boy Doesn't Recognise Rihanna, Asks Her To Take Pic With Footballer https://ift.tt/9t47msQ This week in New York, international pop star Rihanna met English professional footballer Jack Grealish, a star for Manchester City, and the moment was made for the viral pictures. But among the flashing cameras, there was a hilarious mix-up involving one young football fan who was obviously more interested in football than pop music. The little football fan, obviously in awe of attacking midfielder Grealish, came up to Rihanna with a unique request. He requested a picture of himself with his football idol from the world-famous musician, who is renowned for her chart-topping tunes and billion-dollar wealth. Despite being one of the best-selling female singers of all time, Rihanna was not recognised by the boy, who was an avid football fan. Demonstrating her trademark humility and generosity, Rihanna agreed to take the picture. A video clip of the moment was recorded and posted on social media. It goes without saying that the video instantly went viral and sparked a plethora of amusing responses from viewers. Rihanna, who was in New York to watch Manchester City's preseason friendly against AC Milan, was sporting a casual look with a sports cap and an oversized T-shirt from her Fenty line. She was seen mingling with Grealish and AC Milan players Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah. The humorous encounter could be one of the most popular viral videos.

Fans adored Rihanna's charming behaviour and complimented her for maintaining a grounded energy throughout. "I think that's cute. I'm sure she appreciated it too. She seemed like she liked directing them to pose to get the shot. I think this kid, if he actually reached out in the future, could get a picture with her. He wasn't being mean; he was just not exposed yet. I must feel good," commented a user. "Rihanna, be on point; she loves this with kids. Go Rhianna!! Everybody looks happy," commented another user. "Mad respect to Rihanna for this. She probably enjoyed being treated normally for once. Respect to her," commented a third user. https://ift.tt/e9u3tig August 02, 2024 at 08:21AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

US Athlete Reveals What It's Like To Use Tinder Inside Olympic Village https://ift.tt/1c0dzDl American athlete Emily Delleman recently gave her followers an inside look into what it is like being an athlete using a dating app inside the Olympic Village in Paris. The 26-year-old took to TikTok in her downtime to share what she discovered after downloading Tinder. She detailed her entire journey from re-downloading the app to looking for any potential matches. "So I was laying in my cardboard bed the other day recovering and I was scrolling through TikTok and I was seeing the girlies saying 'hey change your location to the Olympic Village' and I was like 'oh my gosh genius'," she told her followers, as per SkyNews. "I haven't had this app downloaded in years, so I go to the app store and they're already hyping it up. They're like 'match with pro athletes using our new feature' ... and I was like okay this must be good. I was getting excited, the expectations were rising," she said. Further, Ms Delleman revealed that she didn't see any Olympians in her initial scroll, prompting her to go back and check her location settings. "I was like okay my settings must be weird. No. I'm like location one mile radius and so far I think I've seen a total of two other Olympians," she said, per the outlet. "I mean don't get me wrong, you Parisian men are beautiful, chefs kiss like I don't know what they put in the water. But you know I went in with the expectations of finding some of my future plot lines but alas I guess we're searching for other forms of entertainment and that's why you're finding me on TikTok," she added. Ms Delleman's video quickly went viral and garnered millions of views. "Someone tag me in part 2," Tinder's official account commented on the video, per SkyNews.

Ms Dellemn's video comes after US tennis star Coco Gauff revealed that she is the only Team USA women's tennis player living in the Olympic Village in Paris after a chaotic living situation forced her teammates to flee to a hotel. Ms Gauff gave a 7-second tour of the American women's tennis players inside the $1.6 billion housing complex. "10 girls, two bathrooms. #olympicvillage," the 20-year-old wrote in a TikTok video on Saturday. In the clip, the tennis star revealed that the rooms were meant for 8 people but were being shared by 10. The 20-year-old also said that she even had to borrow a mattress topper from the US Archery team to counter the thin polyethylene mattresses. https://ift.tt/d8GFZqU July 31, 2024 at 10:25PM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
