Ryan Lochte, a five-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer, just unveiled his secret weapon that’ll at least win him more attention at the Rio Games: His hair.

The heartthrob showed off his bleached ’do on Instagram, writing, “Rio ready!”

Lochte, who celebrates his 32nd birthday on Wednesday, qualified for the 200 meter individual medley and the 800 freestyle relay.

The swimmer has admitted to projecting a “frat boy” image in the past and being affected by his celebrity. We’re not sure if his flashy new hue changes anything, but we approve of the ice-blue tint’s match with the pool. 

In hair and in life, go for the gold, Ryan!

Fun fact: most redheads in Hollywood ... aren’t actually redheads. Emma Stone? Naturally blond. Amy Adams? Strawberry blond. Debra Messing? Brunette.

And now Sophie Turner, who plays famous redheads in both “Game of Thrones” and “X-Men: Apocalypse,” has ditched her trademark look for some Daenerys-Targaryen-style platinum blond locks. 

“I did a thing,” she captioned a photo of herself on the floor with her new ‘do on full display. 

“Game of Thrones” fans, who’ve honestly suffered enough this past week, did not take the news lightly, expressing a range of emotions in the almost 10,000 comments on the photo.

One follower wrote, “Does that mean you’ve been killed off?” while another said, “Maybe Jon isn’t the real Targaryen. Maybe it’s Sansa after all ... Makes you think huh?” Others couldn’t help but notice the similarity to Emilia Clarke’s Mother of Dragons. 

But like the many “redheads” before her, Turner’s natural hair color is (drumroll, please) blond! In an interview with Marie Claire in 2014, the 20-year-old admitted that her fiery look was just for show. 

“I do [color my hair]. I’m naturally blonde,” she told the magazine. 

Despite the differences in appearance, Turner says she still feels a strong connection to the character that made her a household name. 

“I feel like there is a lot of her in me, and a lot of me in her since we both have grown up together,” she said in the same interview. “It’s very easy for me to slip into her.”

On last night’s season finale of “The Bachelorette,” JoJo Fletcher said “yes” to former quarterback Jordan Rodgers. While fans have expressed plenty of doubts about Jordan and JoJo’s relationship, one thing is certain: JoJo has emerged as a true fashion plate. 

Whether she was rocking jean shorts or a skintight gown, JoJo hit it out of the park every single episode. Here are 15 fashion moments when JoJo was flawless from head to toe.

First up? That time she got engaged, but we were too busy drooling over her dress to notice:

When she essentially wore rags on “After the Final Rose” and still looked like a gosh darn rockstar:

When she faced her ex-boyfriends on “The Men Tell All” episode wearing orange like no human has ever worn orange before:

When she broke down crying after sending Luke home, we were heartbroken for her, but mostly amazed she could bend down in this skintight blue gown.

When her hair looked this good every single episode:

When we thought the denim trend was over, but JoJo made us dig our denim shirts back out of the closet:

That time she made gaucho horse training look chic:

When she turned royal blue into her signature color:

When she was surrounded by toxic masculinity and still managed to make boots with fur look dope:

When she wore a simple black sweater that made you want to burn all your black sweaters in a fire because they looked so hideous by comparison:

That time she was basically Sporty Spice:

When she made you want to travel back in time to a land of polka dots and vintage waves:

When JoJo WAS the dancing girl emoji:

When she somehow made a fireman’s uniform look good:

And who could forget this sparkly, curve-hugging number? Those poor guys didn’t stand a chance.

You’re a queen, JoJo. Keep on killing the game.

More than 200 women reveal what shoes they find most attractive.

You know that head-to-toe visual scan we all do when we first meet someone? Well, when women check men out, their visual scan prioritizes a few points over others. One of those points are a man’s shoes. Your shoes, like few other pieces of clothing, broadcast what type of dude you are to those around you. Are you a sneakerhead? A hipster? A luxury-yacht-owning man of leisure? A crust punk? Or a grown-up Damn Daniel? But more than just a personality gauge, your shoes hold the power to attract or repulse (sorry) the woman of your dreams. “What about my great jokes and talents in the bedroom?” you ask. Those are important, for sure. But really it’s the shoes she’ll see first. For proof of this, and in the interest of anthropological research, we asked 200-plus women to help us help you. Here’s what they said (note: all results based on our anonymous survey).

How would you describe your body in one word? Filmmaker Taryn Brumfitt set out to see exactly how people of all ages feel about their bodies, asking 100 people, young and old, to choose a single adjective to describe their physiques. 

Brumfitt, who is founder of the Body Image Movement, wanted to prove that at the end of the day, worrying about physical imperfections is just a waste of time.

“When you come to the end of your life what are the things you will remember?” Brumfitt wrote in a blog. “Not one person has ever said: their wobbly thighs; their cellulite; their six pack abs.”

Surprisingly, it wasn’t people in their later years who were more critical and self-conscious of their aging bodies. Rather, the young were less satisfied.

“Still works,” “still going,” and “it is the only one I’ve got,” were some of the responses from the older adults. But it isn’t just appreciation that seems to come with age, a lesson we’ve learned time and time again by writing about sexy, confident post 50s. 

Strong, unique and magnificent were a few of the other ways older people described themselves.

But our favorite was the middle-aged woman who proudly announced, “My body is succulent.”

Just goes to show, aging isn’t so bad after all.

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs has never cared for rules or normalcy.

Here’s an example: Say you see some bronze monkey statues in a Vogue photo and you think, “Those are cute.” You might go to Pinterest and find something that looks kind of like them, or maybe hit up TJ Maxx. Jacobs? He scoured the planet until he found those exact monkeys.

Such is life for a mogul.

And when picking out a couch for his Greenwich Village townhouse, which is featured in Architectural Digest’s style issue this year, Jacobs literally went with his gut:

When Jacobs purchased the newly constructed home in 2009 for himself and his then-fiancé, Lorenzo Martone, it was just raw space, and the couple enlisted interior designer Thad Hayes to oversee its build-out and decoration. Hayes recalls a telling moment early in the process, when he and Jacobs were discussing upholstery options. “We were looking at a classic boxy Jean-Michel Frank sofa and Marc said, offhandedly, ‘Of course I love it—it’s tattooed on my torso.’ Then he lifted up his shirt and showed me the couch.”

Here’s Jacobs’ tattoo:

Here’s what the actual sofa that the tattoo was based on looks like (we noticed it’s a two-seater, even though his tattoo is a three-seater). It sits in a television room next to a Gerhard Richter painting and a sculpture of Dopey by Paul McCarthy:

Here’s a closer look at his tattoo, which reminds us that he also has a tattoo of SpongeBob SquarePants on his arm:

Never change, Marc Jacobs.

Ashley Graham has had it.

The model and body activist penned a letter to the masses in this week’s edition of Lenny Letter, in which she discusses the ownership others have expressed over her body.

The Sports Illustrated cover model frequently goes to bat against body shamers, but her latest missive zeros in on the internet’s flip-flopping ways every time she posts something on social media.

“To some I’m too curvy. To others I’m too tall, too busty, too loud, and, now, too small — too much, but at the same time not enough,” she says in the essay. “I’m over it.”

Graham’s emotions on this issue are not singular. “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star Khloe Kardashian sounded off on the matter just last month.

Graham’s been a model for 16 years and emphasizes to readers in her piece that she knows her angles by now. As such, she was shocked by the reaction she received to a photo she thought she looked “damn good” in.

Graham includes some of the angry remarks she found in the essay. “You don’t make plus-size dollars anymore, you make backstabbing dollars," said one comment. 

Another said: “You don’t love the skin you’re in, you want to conform to Hollywood, you believe being skinnier is prettier.”

This is the offending photograph: 

Of the ordeal, Graham said:

“People were upset because I appeared to be slimmer. (Knowing my angles is one thing, but I must be a magician to make people think I went from a size 14 to a size 6 in a week!) The reality is I haven’t lost a pound this year. In fact, I’m actually heavier than I was three years ago.”

Graham, being the badass that she is, goes on to say that no one can decide something about your body but you.

“Let’s worry about our own bodies... My body is MY body. I’ll call the shots.”

We feel more beautiful just reading your words, Ashley. Read the whole story from Lenny here.

Regardless of whether you’re voting for Trump or Clinton, let’s take a moment to bask in the glow of Michelle Obama while she’s still in the White House.

The first lady has been donning floral dresses lately ― in Madrid, in Cuba, at the Met Gala, at the Easter Egg Roll and to welcome Justin Trudeau, just to name a few.

On Tuesday, Obama welcomed Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his wife, Ho Ching, to Washington, D.C., marking the first time the White House has hosted a state dinner for Singapore in 30 years. This time, the first lady plucked up a floral Guipure lace number from her go-to designer, New York City-based Naeem Khan.

Khan told HuffPost he designed it “for quintessential summer entertaining,” and while its yellow hue might symbolize the friendship between the U.S. and Singapore, it symbolizes to us how much we’re going to miss our daily doses of her style.

This post has been updated with information from Khan.

First lady Michelle Obama cemented her status as a fashion icon at a state dinner at the White House on Tuesday. 

The dinner was held in honor of the prime minister of Singapore, but Obama stole the spotlight in a sculptural white strapless gown. 

The gown’s designer is none other than Brandon Maxwell, Lady Gaga’s fashion director. Maxwell, a long time stylist relatively new to designing, is known for dramatic, tailored silhouettes ― and this one got a thumbs up from the president himself. 

Maxwell joins a long list of American designers Obama has worked with over the years, and was thrilled to create this simple, sophisticated look for her.

“It has been an incredible honor for me and my team to create this dress for the first lady,” Maxwell told WWD via email. “Strong and elegant, she is the embodiment of the woman that inspires me to create, and a role model for women all over the world.”

In honor of Obama’s latest fashion home run, let’s take a look back at some of her best state dinner moments.

Ireland Baldwin is following in mom Kim Basinger’s footsteps with her latest sexy photo shoot. 

The model stripped down for the new issue of Treats! magazine, in which she poses poolside wearing next to nothing. In one shot, she’s completely nude save for a pair of sparkly cuffs and collar, while in another, she’s sporting a striped hat and a pair of high-waisted bikini bottoms. 

The magazine shared a few of the steamy images, taken by photographer Arthur Belebeau, on Instagram: 

You can also check out a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, originally posted by TMZ, below: 

Baldwin bears a striking resemblance to her mom, who posed totally nude for Playboy magazine and appeared on its cover for the first time in 1983. 

Like mother, like daughter.

Eric Decker wasn’t a top draft selection, but that didn’t matter. A third-round pick of the Broncos in the 2010 NFL Draft, the wide receiver’s stellar play helped guide Denver to a Super Bowl appearance while he became a favorite target of Peyton Manning’s.

Decker, currently at New York Jets training camp, has amassed three 1,000-yard seasons in the past four years. At 29 years old, he’s as dependable as it gets: He’s played in 92 of a possible 96 professional games. Decker signed with the Jets before the 2014 season, where he continues to flourish. He caught 12 touchdowns last year, which slotted him sixth best in the league.

The Huffington Post caught up with the Minnesota native, who starred for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers from 2006-09, recently to discuss life off the gridiron. Decker, who is married to country music singer Jesse James ―with whom he has two children ―  talks about his affinity for dog rescue and military veterans, as well as his keen appreciation for fashion. 

You front Starter’s active-wear campaign and have attended Fashion Week in New York City. How would you describe your general fashion style? 

I’ve been all over the board, to be honest and I think being married and having a wife who is in tune with the fashion world ― I gotta step my game up. I like to be very casual with sportswear. Most times I dress up for date night or an event, a nice suit or nice sportswear ― definitely fun as well. Kind of across the board, [the] full spectrum; very comfortable and relaxed clothing, to get into a nice suit with a tie and go to downtown New York.

You are very involved with animal welfare and veterans.

When I was in Denver, my wife and I were trying to find a charity that kind of spoke to us and, fortunately enough, we haven’t had any major health issues or anything in our family. Her father is in the military currently, and I’ve had family in the military and we’re big dog lovers. Freedom Service Dogs is the organization we’re actually aligned with now. We have our own foundation, but basically what we do is we fund the rescue of shelter dogs, we train them and then eventually they’re specifically trained for veterans of whatever need it may be.

A lot of times it’s PTSD, or physical ailments, so that’s kind of what our passion is, making sure we get great dogs out to veterans in need and just seeing the impact it’s made.

What have you learned from helping the dogs, and the impact they have had on the returning veterans?

It’s just been a different perspective for me. Being an athlete, I understand what sacrifice and discipline is, and all those things. But on a completely different level, these veterans that sacrifice their lives to fight for our freedom ― I think that has been such a huge perspective for me.

I think getting to know them a little bit personally, their stories, what they did in combat, what were some of the experiences they had affecting them. A lot of veterans have been male, so having the confidence to say, ‘You know what? I need a dog to help me through this process.’

And once the dogs get in their hands, seeing them become more confident and to see them feel in a way where they are a father, they’re a husband or just a better citizen in their community and they do productive things. 

Will you try to expand?

This is our niche. Creating more awareness of the program, raising more funds, because it’s $25,000 per dog, so getting more funds to get more dogs out per year is something that’s very important to us. But Freedom Service Dogs also has dogs for kids in need that have cerebral palsy and certain disorders that aren’t just specifically for veterans and dogs.

You signed with the Jets two years ago. What has been your favorite part about being in New York?

Definitely the exposure that New York allows, the networking abilities; I’ve gotten to at least dabble and experience different things to see what my interests are because football is not going to be my entire life or career. I need to obviously have a plan for when I’m done playing.

With that in mind, do you anticipate that you and your family will remain there after you retire?

Potentially, I think Nashville, Tennessee, is kind of home to us just because it’s so much of how we grew up. My wife’s from the south, and I’m from Minnesota, so it’s kind of a drastic change of season in Nashville. But you at least get a little bit of winter, spring or fall. But also the music scene, the more slower pace that it does have is kind of more my personality (laughs). But New York, we’ll always have a part of this city, whether we do have a base here or not.

Never doubt Ariana Grande’s commitment to her high pony.

The singer’s sky-high ponytail has become her signature hairstyle. After dying her hair red for years on Disney shows Victorious and Sam & Cat, Grande’s tresses were so damaged that she took to taming her hair into the ponytail we all know and love. But Grande may have finally taken the high pony too far.

In a photo uncovered by intrepid Twitter users, Grande sports her usual hairstyle and a baseball cap. Look closely and you’ll see that Ariana has literally cut a hole in her hat to accommodate her ponytail. 

You have to admire the singer’s dedication. Lowering her ponytail or letting her hair down is too easy for Grande. She’d much rather hack a hole through the top of her baseball cap. Naturally, Twitter had a field day.

Give Grande a pair of scissors, and she’s a dangerous woman indeed. Might we suggest a visor next time?
