North and South Korea Will March TOGETHER During the Olympics Opening Ceremonies

We can honestly say no one was expecting this. The governments for North and South Korea have reached an agreement that will see the two nations reunified in sport during next month’s Olympics opening ceremonies. But, for the first time ever, the two Koreas have also agreed to combine their women’s hockey teams to compete at the games as a united country.

While Korea has marched as a unified nation before during the Turin games, today’s stunning announcement will have the first joint team competing together during the games. North and South Korean women’s hockey players will begin practicing this month in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) in preparation for the games but will need approval from the International Olympic Committee and will need to come to fruition during a time fraught with political tension.

Since the end of the Korean War in 1953, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (ROK or South Korea) have been in a tense back-and-forth. The US military has set up semi-permanent shop in the south, and with rising international tensions, specifically between the Korean leader, Kim, Jong-Un and President Donald Trump, the nations are a hotbed of action these days.

Although this joint sign of unity is welcomed by many, politicos are questioning what DPRK leader Kim Jong-Un may really have in mind, considering that even while unification for the Olympics was being discussed, the leader has been clear to point out the North’s nuclear and ballistic missile program will not stop.

“They should know that [the] train and bus carrying our delegation to the Olympics are still in Pyongyang,” the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said. “The South Korean authorities had better ponder over what unfavorable results may be entailed by their impolite behavior.”

Some insiders are speculating that the unified women’s hockey team may be a way for Kim Jong-Unto divide relations between the South and the US because of the heavy sanctions placed on North Korea in the last few months.

Each year, Pinterest forecasts the hottest trends that will hit their platform in the following year through Pinterest Predicts. Per their expertise, “grandpacore” is on the docket for 2024, and TBH, I’m so here for it. Here’s how the all-mighty Pinterest puts it:

“An industry often defined by the “new” and “young”—fashion—will soon be home to an archetype as old as it is expressive and eccentric: Grandfathers. Think retro streetwear, chic cardigans and customized clothing as Gen Z and Boomers lead the growth in searches for “grandpa style,” as well as “eclectic clothing style” and “retro streetwear.’”

I knew throwback fashion was in, but I would have never guessed our grandfathers would become the greatest outfit inspo for 2024. Regardless of how eclectic grandpacore came about, I’m all for an aesthetic that prioritizes comfort. After all, grandpa-ified styles are often oversized and made of oh-so cozy materials.

Pinterest noted that the “eclectic grandpa” aesthetic is categorized by garments like retro streetwear, chic cardigans and customized clothing. From my experience, these are all things that you can track down at your closest thrift store, Depop shop, or local vintage reseller (bonus points if you're picking straight from your grandpa's closet). To get the eclectic grandpa vibes flowing, scroll for even more fashion inspo to help you get the look and be extremely on-trend in the new year.

Quirky, Patched, Customized Jackets

Ecorr Classic Chain Embroidery Stitch Corduroy Jacket

The embroidery detail on this denim jacket give it a customized impression, perfect for achieving that eclectic grandpa look. Go the extra mile for the aesthetic by embroidering your own!

Blank NYC Crash Course Bomber Jacket

This bomber jacket is just what my grandpa would wear in the 90s (honestly, he'd probably even wear it now). I love the contrasting materials since they make the piece more casual, while the elastic collar and wrist bands speak to its comfort.

Alex Mill Quinn Quilted Nylon Jacket

Barn coats are so on-point for the eclectic grandpa aesthetic. For a chicer take on the style (sometimes you want to dress it up!), this quilted jacket is fitted with just the right amount of elegant detail in the pockets and buttons.

BDG Dex Canvas Workwear Jacket

Anything workwear is gonna help you pull off the trend – just make sure it's colorful! This blue number hits eclectic grandpa right on the nail with an understated corduroy feel and a very cute embroidered lapel.

Picture Organic Nury Cotton Corduroy Puffer Jacket

This upcoming trend is simply perfect for winter outfits since it prioritizes layering and oversized comfort. Bundle up in this corduroy piece worn alongside colorful pants for an easy grandpacore ensemble.

Oversized Polo Shirts

We The Free Clean Prep Polo

Polo shirts are one of my favorite things to hunt down at the thrift store, but they can get repetitive quickly. This shirt refreshes the trend with a unique striped pattern and a cozy open neckline.

Madewell Variegated Rib Long Sleeve Boxy Polo

The collar on this piece is what gives it that vintage charm. I love these vertical stripes that add some trendy edge.

Gap Modern Polo Shirt

Another fun take on the polo, this shirt from Gap is complete with a funky color combo and color-blocked sleeves to build your grandpacore look.

Wide-Leg, Baggy Jeans + Corduroy

PacSun Eco Light Indigo Asymmetrical Low Rise Baggy Jeans

Baggy, wide-leg pants work best on the bottom for the eclectic grandpa trend. For denim, aim to go for light washes like this one – they channel the most popular styles of the 1980s/90s.

BDG Logan Corduroy Baggy Buckle Pant

Again, corduroy shines!

Gap Extra High-Waisted Pleated Taylor Wide-Leg Trouser Suit Pants

Trousers are another easy piece that form the foundation for your grandpacore outfits. I like this pair in particular because of the tailored waist pleating – it just gives the pants more formality, so they're wearable for any occasion.

BDG Mae Corduroy Cargo Pant

These cords are as comfy as pants get, with a hassle-free waistband and plenty of pocket space. Grandpa would def approve.

Chunky Cardis, Sweaters, + Pullovers

Madewell Waffle-Knit V-Neck Cardigan

In my opinion, there's never a bad time to wear a chunky sweater, so I'm so glad the eclectic grandpa aesthetic includes cozy knits like this one! Whether you choose to go with a cardi or a pullover, just make sure it's thick. The more textured, the better!

We The Free As If Pullover

This bright blue pullover will have eyes all over your look!

Urban Renewal Remnants Wide Stripe Chenille Cropped Sweater

Color-blocked pieces are perfect for pulling off grandpacore. I love this warm-toned, pinky sweater since you can pretty much wear it year-round.

Maeve Collared Cardigan Sweater

There's no doubt that this patterned sweater is eclectic. Keep an eye out for funky, mismatched patterns like this when you're building your grandpacore 'fit.

Urban Outfitters Celin Flower-Button Cardigan

Bring on the color, I say! Though it's not exactly color-blocked, this cardi is quirky enough with a rainbow knit and floral buttons.

Eclectic Grandpa Sneakers

New Balance Gender Inclusive 530 Running Shoe

Dad sneakers FTW! These New Balances are a must for any eclectic grandpa ensemble, but they're versatile to make any aesthetic last.

Adidas Samba OG Shoes

These lace-ups are the"It" girl sneaker of this year, and I really don't see them going anywhere for 2024. Their sportiness brings forth a stylish kick to the grandpacore trend!

Chinese Laundry Desert Dog Casual Sneaker

Pastels will always draw the eye in, and with this shoe, they're blocked in the most stylish way.

Wild Fable Lola Lace-Up Sneakers

Since the eclectic grandpa trend calls for every part of your outfit to be comfortable, sneakers with enough bottom support will work perfectly.

Reebok Club C Revenge Sneakers

These chunky sneakers are comfy and chic at the same time, and will also last you past next year's emerging trend.

We are head over heels in love with all things Bridgerton. The relationships, the characters, the Gossip Girl-meets-Jane Austen storylines. After waiting far too long for a sneak peek of season 3, Netflix *finally* released exclusive images that continue to have us shipping Polin (Penelope and Colin, of course.). Not only that, but Netflix shared more images from the upcoming season and it looks like things will be heating up in the new season!

Here's the latest season 3 Bridgerton news, as well as some fan theories that might just carry us into season 4.

Will Penelope and Eloise happily reunite in season 3 of "Bridgerton?" 

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

In an exclusive image obtained by Entertainment Weekly, it seems like former best friends Penelope and Eloise are having a conversation. Judging from the expression on Penelope's face and Eloise's folded arms, it appears that things are still tense between them. Jess Brownwell, Bridgerton's show runner told the outlet, "I'm rooting for them," while admitting their friendship breakup is, "...a chance for the two of them to grow and learn about themselves..."

It's interesting to see if Eloise will remain icy towards Penelope after the abrupt end of their friendship in Season 2.

When is Bridgerton season 3 is coming out?

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

Netflix announced on December 12 that season 3 of Bridgerton will release in two parts in 2024: Part I on May 16 and Part II on June 13th. Until then, catch up on the first two seasons, as well as the prequel series Queen Charlotte, on Netflix!

What is the new season of Bridgerton about?

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

After giving up on whether Colin could ever return her feelings, Penelope decides to find a husband who will give her the independence she needs as Lady Whistledown. But when Colin offers to help her along the way, and his help begins to pay off, he realizes that his feelings for her might be more than platonic.

Why is Penelope wearing more blues and greens than her staple yellows?

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

It's clear throughout the first season that each family has their own color representing the journey ahead of them — the beloved Bridgertons wear sophisticated blues and lavenders while the Featheringtons wear loud yellows as they try to climb the social ladder.

This is very intentional, and throughout season 3 we'll see Penelope transition from her staple yellow dresses into more greens and blues, a symbol of her union with Colin Bridgerton. Costume designer Sophie Canale confirmed this color theory to People, sharing that the green dress Penelope wears in episode four was a nod to her future relationship with Colin. After all, green *is* a mix of yellow and blue.

In the beginning of the season, Penelope and her mother are both wearing green instead of their usual lemon yellow. But instead of a pastel green like her previous dress, this one is very vibrant and tinged with a lot of warm tones. Even if Penelope is growing, the ties to her family are still strong.

Considering season two ended with Penelope getting into a fight with Eloise — and overhearing Colin say he would never court her — it makes sense that Penelope would turn more into her family than ever before.However, in an on-set interview with This Morning, Coughlan wore a dress that appears to be a muted seafoam, meaning it features more blue than yellow.

If Penelope wears lime at the beginning of the season and seafoam at the end, it's a perfect representation of her emotional arc. She moves from feeling overshadowed by her family to being embraced by Colin (hopefully sooner rather than later!!), and it creates a whole new color just for her.

Penelope is, and always will be, a mix of both Featherington and her love for Colin. Good thing for us, Canale takes us on that journey with her.

Will Benedict still play a role in season 3 of Bridgerton?

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

The third book in the Bridgerton series, An Offer From A Gentleman, focuses on Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Beckett. Even though the third season of the show will revolve around Colin and Penelope, fans are anticipating an important plot point could still happen this year.

"I'm reading Benedict's book, and between the ball the Bridgertons threw where he met Sophie and when they meet again there's a gap of two years, enough for the unfolding of Penelope and Colin's [arc]," lovin_da_dix says on Reddit. "My theory is that the Bridgertons will throw the ball this season, we would briefly see Sophie and the writers would carry the storyline through season 4."

Not only would a ball give us an excuse to see Colin and Penelope dance again, but it would also set up the next season of the show! That is some serious script planning. But considering the characters in Bridgerton love throwing a party, and a ball would fit right in with the book's timeline, this is one theory we could totally see coming true.

Does Daphne appear in season 3 of Bridgerton?

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

No, Daphne will not be in season 3 of Bridgerton. Actress Phoebe Dynevor revealed she wouldn't return to the series at the Sundance Film Festival inJanuary of 2023.

Which couple will season 3 of Bridgerton be about?

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

Bridgerton season 3 will focus on Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. This is the first time fans will get to see a couple they've been rooting for since the beginning, and I can't wait!

Here's Your First Look At Season 3 Of Bridgerton

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) — who moonlights as town gossip Lady Whistledown — touted pale blue dresses that complemented her red hair, styled in soft waves.

"Do contain your excitement," the show tweeted, adding on Instagram, "The author is about to become the main character."

And according to Nicola, fans are in for a wild ride. The actress described her season as "magical," "romantic" and "quite scandalous" while speaking at Tudum's Brazil event, per Shondaland.

Colin doesn't look too shabby either.

(Hopefully) a happy couple in the works!

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

...Or not as happy as we thought.

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

It looks like the Bridgertons just caught wind of shocking news.

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

It looks like the loving couple are still enjoying marital bliss in season 3 of Bridgerton.

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

Colin's expression makes us want to ask him, "Why so serious?"

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

Colin may be showing Penelope potential suitors she can engage with.

Image via Liam Daniel/Netflix

Something is really concerning Lady Violet, but Francesca (played by Hannah Dodd who replaces Ruby Stokes) and Hyacinth seem to be taking it in stride.

Keep up to date with our Bridgerton news and let us know in the comments what you're looking forward to seeing in the new season!
