No. 3 Michigan edges Iowa to go undefeated in Big Ten road games

Yaxel Lendeborg and Morez Johnson Jr. each scored 16 points Thursday night and No. 3 Michigan became the first Big Ten Conference team in 50 years to go unbeaten on the road in league play with a 71-68 victory over Iowa in Iowa City.

Aday Mara added 14 for the Wolverines (28-2, 18-1 Big Ten), including a dunk with 43 seconds left that put Michigan ahead 68-66. Lendeborg added 3 of 4 accuracy at the foul line in the last seven seconds.

Eliot Cadeau bounced back from a sloppy first half to finish with 11 points and nine assists as the Wolverines converted 24 of 45 shots from the field, including 13 of 23 after halftime. They also dominated the glass 38-25.

Bennett Stirtz scored a game-high 21 points for the Hawkeyes (20-10, 10-9) but made only 7 of 23 shots from the field, including 4 of 14 3-point attempts. He had a chance to force overtime but couldn't can a 3-pointer with one second remaining.

Cam Manyawu added 14 points and eight rebounds before fouling out with four seconds on the clock. Iowa made only 39.1% from the field but forced 18 turnovers and converted those into 26 points.

The pregame storyline concerned if undersized Iowa could find a way to defend against Michigan's huge, productive frontcourt and earn a resume-boosting win.

It turned out the Hawkeyes could, at least in a first half where the Wolverines spent as much time throwing the ball away as they did scoring. Michigan entered the evening ranked fourth in assists in Division I and a solid 32nd in assist-turnover ratio at 1.6.

But it coughed up a whopping 12 turnovers in 32 first-half possessions, including three from Cadeau, who averages more than two assists for every miscue. Iowa cashed in those turnovers for 16 points, more than half its offense.

The Hawkeyes led by six at one point in the half before the Wolverines were able to play catch-up. An alley-oop from Cadeau to Mara with six seconds left produced a 30-30 tie at intermission.

What Bianca Censori Wore to Husband’s Trial After Alleged Dress Code Warning

Bianca Censoriwalked into a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday morning wearing a very different look from her usual bold fashion choices.Kanye West'swife appeared at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles to testify before a jury in a lawsuit related to the renovation of West's Malibu home. For the hearing, she chose a simple, conservative all-black outfit that suited the courtroom's formal setting.

Bianca Censori opts for an all-black look for Kanye West's Malibu mansion trial

Censori wore a long black skirt paired with a fully buttoned, long-sleeved black top. Her hair was pulled neatly back from her face, and she completed the look with a pair of glasses, giving her a polished look as she entered the courthouse. The outfit looked very different from the bold looks Bianca Censori often wears in public with Kanye West. She is known for daring and revealing outfits that often spark discussion on social media. But for her day in court, the architect chose a much simpler, more modest look.

Before testimony started, Judge Brock T. Hammond reminded everyone involved that courtroom decorum would extend to clothing choices. "The parties and witnesses you're calling must comply with the basic dress code of the court," he reportedly said. He specifically warned against wearing hats, sunglasses, or revealing clothing, adding that anyone who failed to follow the guidelines would not be permitted to enter the courtroom. "If a witness is not dressed appropriately, they will be turned around at the door," the judge stated.

Censori's all-black outfit appeared to fall squarely within those requirements. Bianca Censori testified in court as part of a lawsuit filed by handyman Tony Saxon. Saxon says Kanye West did not properly pay him for work at the rapper's Malibu mansion. In the complaint, Saxon says West hired him to help renovate the beachfront property and promised to pay him $20,000 per week. Saxon claims he received only one payment. He also says his job ended after he raised safety concerns about the work site.

West purchased the oceanfront house in 2021 for about $57 million. The property, designed by celebrated Japanese architect Tadao Ando, features a distinctive concrete structure overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Lily Allen’s Fully Sheer Valentino Minidress Packs a Daring Twist

Lily Allenis back on stage, and her wardrobe is just as iconic as her music. For her West End Girl Tour, the singer has teamed up with stylist Mel Ottenberg to create a series of unforgettable looks. Her fashion statement is all about "boudoir-chic" and vintage glamour.

The star of the show is a delicateValentinopiece that plays with light and shadow. It is a daring move that shows Lily's growth into a sophisticated fashion chameleon. She proves that she is not afraid to take risks while looking absolutely timeless.

Lily Allen stuns in fully sheer Valentino minidress for West End Girl tour

The most talked-about outfit from Lily's tour is a champagne-colored Valentino minidress. The dress is completely sheer and features beautiful lace trim along the edges. It looks like a high-fashion version of a vintage slip. The "daring surprise" is how the dress uses the illusion of vulnerability. While the fabric is see-through, it is paired with matching satin undergarments. This makes the look feel powerful and deliberate rather than accidental.

Lily's tour style does not stop with just one dress. She also wears a black lace bodysuit with high-waisted burgundy leather shorts. For a more structural look, she chose a strapless black leather gown. Each piece adds a different layer to her "West End Girl" persona.

The styling for these outfits is truly theatrical. She often layers her sheer dress under a white silk robe with fluffy feathers. This gives her a classic Hollywood vibe. On her feet, she wears towering pink platform heels with delicate ankle straps. Her hair is styled in a high, dramatic updo with sharp bangs.

By choosing Valentino's sheer artistry, Lily is leading the 2026 trend of "Intimate Grandeur". She is taking items traditionally meant for the bedroom and turning them into stage-ready masterpieces. This tour is a celebration of femininity, confidence, and high-fashion risk-taking.
