Charlie’s Angels Stars Prove They’ve Still Got It at 2026 Emmys

Decades after Charlie’s Angels became a television phenomenon, its leading ladies are still turning heads. Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, and Kate Jackson—now in their 70s and 80s—looked every bit as glamorous when they reunited at the 2026 Emmy Awards. The actresses took the stage to present the award for outstanding drama series, with Ladd having joined the original lineup after Farrah Fawcett departed in 1979.

Their appearance was especially meaningful because it arrived during the show’s 50th-anniversary celebration. The audience gave the trio a standing ovation before they had said a word, while viewers online shared the same excitement. In the Television Academy’s YouTube comments, fans reflected on how quickly five decades had passed and praised the actresses’ enduring beauty. “Hard to imagine 50 years of Charlie’s Angels,” one person wrote, while another called them “beautiful ladies” who were “aging like fine wine.”

One commenter highlighted the actresses’ ages—Kate Jackson is 77, Cheryl Ladd is 75, and Jaclyn Smith is 80—prompting another fan to respond, “Hard to believe!” Their familiar hair colors and signature styles also made the reunion feel like a trip back to the series’ heyday. Smith’s hair was the most noticeably different: instead of Kelly Garrett’s deep chocolate-brown locks, she now wears a polished dark-blonde style. Even so, her identity—and that of her fellow Angels—was instantly recognizable. If anything, the trio seemed to prove that their star power has only grown with time.

Their youthful appearances have naturally led fans to ask about the Charlie’s Angels beauty secrets. Yet the actresses have often insisted that looking beautiful was not their main concern while filming the classic series. During a September 2026 appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Jackson recalled that they were focused simply on doing their jobs. “I think we didn’t think about it. We just did what we were supposed to do and that was it,” she explained. Smith, meanwhile, said the show gave women an opportunity to turn an industry stereotype into an advantage, especially at a time when attractive actresses were not always taken seriously on television.
“We sort of used our feminine wiles and our beauty to accomplish our case,” Smith said, before emphasizing that true beauty comes from within. In a September 2026 interview with People, she also acknowledged that aging is unavoidable and that character matters more than appearance. “Everybody ages, everybody changes. It’s the real stuff that puts you on top. Pretty is as pretty does. No one stays a ‘Charlie’s Angel’ forever,” she said. Smith has credited healthy eating and an overall balanced lifestyle with helping her feel her best, and has also discussed occasionally having fat transferred to her face for a fresher appearance. Ladd, for her part, believes happiness has played a role in her own glow. “I love my work, I love my grandkids, I love my husband, I love my house […] I just love my life,” she told NBC 4 Los Angeles in 2020. Her radiant Emmy appearance suggested that joy may be one of the best beauty secrets of all.
Nicole Kidman Shares Rare Photo With 15-Year-Old Daughter Faith
Nicole Kidman has given fans a rare glimpse of her Paris Fashion Week getaway with her daughter, Faith.
The 59-year-old Australian star has been making the most of her time in the French capital while attending one of the fashion calendar’s biggest events.
In an Instagram post shared on Thursday, Nicole uploaded a sweet photo of herself with Faith, her daughter with former husband Keith Urban, as they posed in their hotel lobby.
She also included an atmospheric image of the singer standing on the hotel balcony, surrounded by pink lighting.
“Pink lights in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” Nicole wrote in the caption.
The mother and daughter had already stepped out together earlier in the week for Chanel’s Paris Fashion Week presentation.

Nicole greeted fans by blowing kisses as she arrived in a grey tweed blazer dress, which showcased her legs and was styled with classic black heels.
Faith embraced the Chanel aesthetic too, wearing a grey-and-black cardigan with blue jeans and heeled pumps as she shared a hug with her mother.
The appearance was Nicole’s first Fashion Week event of the season, although her presence at Chanel came as little surprise given her long-standing relationship with the luxury label.
In October last year, the actress was confirmed as a Chanel brand ambassador once again, more than 20 years after fronting the house’s iconic No5 campaign in 2004.
Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection was presented under the direction of Matthieu Blazy, who oversees the brand’s fashion activities.
The show marked Blazy’s second major ready-to-wear collection for Chanel. He assumed responsibility for the fashion division last year, debuting with the SS26 collection as the house entered a fresh creative era.
A central theme of the presentation was the transformation from confinement and structure toward a sense of ease and liberation.
The designs began with nods to Chanel’s earliest wardrobe staples, including jersey pieces, uncomplicated dresses and looser silhouettes, before moving toward the house’s signature tailored jackets and suits.

Bird imagery emerged as one of the collection’s most prominent visual themes.
Feathers, bird-inspired jewellery, nest-like details and other references to the natural world appeared throughout the build-up and presentation.
Last month, Nicole also opened up about her genuine opinion of her former husband Keith Urban’s music during an interview with Sandra Bullock.
The co-stars were promoting their new movie Practical Magic 2 on the Netflix show Therapuss with Jake Shane when the US actress took a pointed jab at Urban.
Nicole and Sandra, 62, were asked to give advice to a listener who wrote in saying she couldn’t stand listening to her boyfriend’s music.
Sandra quickly responded that the ‘fuel’ of a relationship can easily burn out when both parties don’t share the same passion.
‘If you don’t like the music, it’s not going to ignite the fuel [in you]. So this is a tricky one. Nicole…?’ Sandra cheekily said.
The Speed actress’s pointed remark got a huge laugh from Nicole, who finalised her divorce from her country singer ex-husband in January, after almost 20 years of marriage.
Nicole then issued her own advice for the listener, urging her to ‘find something’ she liked about her boyfriend’s music.
‘Find something to like about it. Give him a compliment. Give him a bone,’ Nicole quipped.
Hurricane Isaias Put Millions at Risk of Flesh-Eating Bacteria
Hurricane Isaias is expected to bring life-threatening flooding and hurricane-force winds to the United States, while doctors warn residents in its projected path about the danger of flesh-eating Vibrio bacteria.
Isaias strengthened rapidly into a Category 2 hurricane over the Gulf on Thursday afternoon. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said officials were preparing for the storm to come ashore as a Category 3 hurricane Friday evening or early Saturday.
Storm surges reaching as high as seven feet are forecast along the Northern Gulf Coast, particularly near and east of the hurricane’s center. As seawater pushes into streets and homes, it could carry dangerous bacteria inland.
The Florida Department of Health cautions that “following a storm, such as a hurricane, floodwaters and standing water pose risks for Vibrio vulnificus exposure.”
Vibrio vulnificus can enter the body through cuts, scrapes and puncture wounds. In severe cases, the infection rapidly destroys tissue, causes septic shock and can prove fatal within 24 to 48 hours.
Dr. Norma Beatty of the University of Florida College of Medicine told the Daily Mail that Vibrio infections have been linked to hurricane activity.
“Storm surge waters from the Gulf breach into our neighborhoods and even into our homes, where people are now possibly trudging through water that contains the bacteria,” Beatty said.
She advised anyone with a cut exposed to Gulf storm-surge water to rinse the wound thoroughly with clean water and monitor it carefully for signs of infection.
Hurricane Isaias is forecast to bring dangerous flooding and winds to the US as doctors warn millions in its path about potentially deadly flesh-eating bacteria
Florida reported 74 Vibrio infections and 17 deaths in 2022, the year Hurricane Ian struck the state.
The totals rose further in 2024, when hurricanes Helene and Milton made landfall. That year, the state recorded 82 cases and 19 deaths.
In both years, the number of deaths exceeded Florida’s average of approximately 10 annually between 2017 and October 8, 2026.
Chamteut Oh, an assistant professor at the University of Florida, told the Tallahassee Democrat that the risk should be taken seriously.
“People may not know how exactly the level of bacteria goes up, but they should be aware [that] the pathogens can increase right after Isaias, and they can last a long time,” Oh said.
Hurricane warnings are in effect for sections of Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, southwestern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, as well as some inland communities in Alabama and Florida.
The National Hurricane Center said Isaias had maximum sustained winds of 100 mph Thursday afternoon, above the 96 mph threshold for a Category 2 hurricane.
The National Weather Service issued an alert Thursday urging residents to prepare for life-threatening winds comparable to those produced by a Category 1 or Category 2 hurricane.
The Florida Department of Health warns that “following a storm, such as a hurricane, floodwaters and standing water pose risks for Vibrio vulnificus exposure”
“Remaining efforts to protect life and property should be urgently completed,” the National Weather Service said.
The storm prompted evacuations in Florida’s Okaloosa and Gulf counties, while the remainder of the Panhandle remained under a state of emergency.
Alabama has also issued a state of emergency for counties along the Gulf.
The NWS said: ‘Evacuation efforts should soon be brought to completion before driving conditions become unsafe.
‘Leave immediately if evacuation orders are given for your area to avoid being cut off from emergency services or needlessly risk lives.’
The weather agency told communities from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, to Gulf County, Florida, to prepare for the possibility of ‘long-duration power outages.’
Fears of a devastating storm have left shelves empty in towns and cities along the US Gulf Coast, as locals stock up on everything from toilet paper to water and canned food.
Images on social media show long lines at gas stations and depleted supermarket shelves.

Florida local Stephen Page posted on Facebook: ‘Stores are already run over, and shelves are empty at many places.
‘Lines at gas stations are long, and people are in full prep mode. So again, I say, if you haven’t started, now is the time!’
Another Floridian, Stephanie Michelle, said she experienced panic buying at the grocery store.
‘The store was full, the parking lot was full, shelves were empty, and the carts were all full! People were everywhere, and traffic was a nightmare,’ she added.

Gast stations were packed with cars ahead of the storm
The Atlantic has yet to produce a hurricane in 2026, putting the season within reach of a record set in 1905 for the latest first hurricane.
If forecast models are correct and Isaias develops into a hurricane, it would be deemed a record-breaking storm.
Meteorologist Matt Devitt said on X: ‘Isaias will likely be one of the most significant storms of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season with a landfall in the US.’
Penthouse Pet Accused of Robbing Older Men Seeks Extradition, Lawyer Says
The Penthouse Pet accused of targeting older men in an alleged theft scheme has retained an Israeli attorney, who is seeking to have her extradited to Israel just one day before a judge is scheduled to determine whether she is competent to stand trial.
Attorney Tai Sharki told The Post that he is working to secure the release of former model Adva Lavie from LA County Jail. She has been held there since Beverly Hills police allegedly found her without her ankle monitor in July.
Sharki, who previously served a lengthy prison sentence, said Lavie hired him “just a couple days ago” and described her time behind bars as “traumatic.”
“My main goal is to connect her with politicians. Israel has the political power to bring her to Israel,” Sharki said.
The criminal defense attorney also claimed that Israeli officials had been informed of Lavie’s situation and that representatives from the country’s consulate were being sent to assist her.
“They just heard about it. If Israeli officials would like to help, it could go very fast,” Sharki said.
Lavie faces six felony counts and up to 10 years in prison over allegations that she used dating apps to take money from older men. Following her initial arrest in March, she was released on bail under strict conditions, including GPS monitoring.
“In Israel, for those crimes, it would probably only be one or two years,” Sharki claimed.
Lavie was engaged to billionaire Steven Cloobeck until he ended the relationship earlier this year amid the fallout from her arrest.
The pair were dining at Beverly Hills restaurant Azur on July 28 when Lavie was arrested after she was allegedly seen without her court-ordered ankle monitor.
The device was later located at the nearby luxury Peninsula Hotel. The alleged lapse marked the latest violation of Lavie’s bail conditions.

Los Angeles Judge Diego Edber had previously issued warnings over other alleged violations, including Lavie’s possession of an Israeli passport and travel outside Los Angeles County.
Following the ankle-monitor incident, Edber ordered Lavie jailed and revoked her bail.
Lavie is not eating in jail because of concerns over kosher food, according to Sharki. “She weighs 45 kilos (99 pounds). She doesn’t eat because of kosher issues,” he claimed.
“She is dealing with antisemitism. There’s a camera on her all the time. She is traumatized,” he added.
Israeli law generally prevents a person from being extradited from the United States until after sentencing, Sharki said. However, he claimed Lavie could potentially be transferred for “humanitarian purposes.”
Sharki also said Lavie is an Israeli citizen but acknowledged that he was uncertain about her status in the United States. “She looks exotic, but she’s 100% Israeli,” he said.
Lavie is undergoing an evaluation by Dr. Tumu, according to another member of her legal team, attorney Jeremy Lessem. “He happens to be a very well-respected doctor whom the courts trust,” Lessem told The Post.
Lavie is scheduled to appear in a Hollywood courtroom Friday, when a judge is expected to rule on whether she is mentally competent to stand trial.
Since being jailed, the model has launched an aggressive campaign against her former fiancé, Cloobeck, even though he helped finance her defense after her arrest.
She called her porn star ex-husband Eden Ives and discussed “using the f–k out of” Cloobeck’s American Express card, according to detectives.
She also said she would testify against the billionaire in his upcoming witness tampering case.
Cloobeck also faces 10 years for allegedly contacting witnesses in Lavie’s case and asking them not to testify. “I’m not sure if she is still in touch with Steven,” Sharki added.
Bezos Backs Trump’s AI Name, Predicts Three-Day Workweeks
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos defended his vision for artificial intelligence during an extended Fox News interview on Wednesday.
The discussion ranged from the future of American families and criticism aimed at billionaires to Bezos’ long-term proposal to turn Blue Origin satellites into orbital data centers.
“Yes, we can put data centers in space. And there’s a good reason to do that,” Bezos told Bret Baier during the roughly 20-minute interview on Special Report.
Bezos also said he has personally invested $28 billion in Blue Origin over the years and indicated that the space company could eventually pursue an initial public offering.
At one point, Baier asked Bezos whether the United States would reach the moon before China.
“We have to beat China to the moon, and I believe we will beat China to the moon. It’s a very important thing to do. NASA is very focused on it,” the 62-year-old Bezos responded.
Bezos became visibly animated when Baier introduced the subject of artificial intelligence, interrupting the anchor as he began outlining the technology’s economic potential.
“It’s going to drive huge productivity in the economy, by the way, huge productivity,” Bezos said.

Baier asked him to be more precise, pressing for a figure that could illustrate the expected economic gains.
“I don’t know what number to put on it, but, I mean, we could see double-digit productivity gains in the economy,” Bezos said.
“Double digits?” Baier replied, appearing surprised.
“Yes, it’s very, very, very possible,” Bezos answered with a smile. He said AI advances could give people more freedom and opportunity to pursue creative work.
“That’s what these AI tools are going to allow,” he said. Baier then asked about Donald Trump’s preferred rebranding of AI as “super intelligence,” or SI.
“By the way, the President says SI. Are you into SI or AI?” Baier asked.
After briefly stumbling over his response, Bezos said he “like[d] SI.”
“Because artificial is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener or artificial flavoring.”
Throughout the interview, Bezos repeatedly highlighted the potential benefits of rapidly advancing AI technology
Baier followed by asking whether the alternative terminology might sound “a little scary.” In a Thursday post on Truth Social, Trump described people who continue using the more common term as “THE ENEMY!”
‘Artificial sort of means – artificial sort of means fake,’ Bezos stammered.
He admitted it would be ‘a big road to change everybody getting to say superintelligence only because they’re so used to AI at this point.’
The President signed an executive order last month urging federal agencies to adopt the change when mentioning the technology in future communications.
‘It may be a long road, but I do understand the desire to get away from the word artificial,’ Bezos noted.
Turning to the actual tech, the Washington Post owner predicted AI would allow families to live on one income while also ushering in a labor shortage.
He maintained increased levels of ‘productivity in the economy’ would allow ‘many people’ to decide to ditch the increasingly typical two-earner household setup for just one.
‘Some people will also decide, you know what? I can support my family by working three days a week,’ he added. ‘That’s what productivity in the economy means.’
‘It’s going to actually be difficult to hire people because the productivity in the economy is going to make it so that if people don’t want to work two jobs, they won’t have to.’
‘You hear the fear out there, though,’ Baier lightly pressed.
‘Oh, yes,’ Bezos answered, adding that he ‘understand[s] it.’
‘Because a lot of smart people are prognosticating that,’ he continued. ‘I just happen to disagree with those smart people.’
A clip of Trump touting the agreement reached between six major AI companies to adopt safety policies that include audits and third-party evaluations and risk reviews at the White House last month followed.
Baier asked Bezos what he thought about AI regulation.
‘You don’t want to regulate knives. You want to regulate murder,’ Bezos said. He added that ‘a light hand’ would be ‘appropriate’ early on.
The conversation then steered toward politics. Bezos recently batted back claims that Amazon’s Melania Trump documentary was an attempt to curry favor with the President.

Baier, 56, asked about Bernie Sanders. He prefaced the question by pointing out how Bezos complained to CNBC’s Squawk Box in May about politicians using the ‘age-old technique of picking a villain and pointing fingers’ rather than seeking solutions.
‘Bernie Sanders is always out on the trail. And Senator Sanders talks about billionaires a lot. How do you see that?’
‘Well, I think we live in an environment where some people have come to – they have been taught, I think incorrectly, but they have been taught that – into this whole kind of oppressor-oppressed framework, and that success is villainy,’ Bezos replied.
He argued that ‘success is not villainy.’
‘You can be a billionaire if you start a hamburger stand.’
‘There’s nothing wrong with making unbelievably good chicken that people love,’ he added, citing the success of chicken finger chain Raising Cane’s. ‘And it doesn’t make him a bad person.’
Bezos has an estimated net worth of roughly $370 billion, according to Forbes – behind only Elon Musk.
Last year, Bezos revamped the Opinion section of the Washington Post, to focus on ‘personal liberties and free markets.’
Bezos also pulled a last-minute Post endorsement of then-candidate Kamala Harris at the eleventh hour, causing anger from both staff and readers.
Heated Rivalry Actress Emily Hampshire Reveals Hidden Easter Egg
As Hampshire continued developing her character’s explosive personality, she had Terry Matalas to thank. The VisionQuest showrunner previously worked with her on Syfy’s 12 Monkeys.
“He told me that while writing E.D.I.T.H., he kept hearing my voice in his head,” Hampshire recalled. “My way into this world was through Terry, so it felt like coming home. Without that connection, it would have been much more daunting.”
Fans have no reason to worry, however. Hampshire promised that her take on E.D.I.T.H. will bring a much-needed spark to the Mindspace.

“I wanted to make sure the E.D.I.T.H. I was playing was the same E.D.I.T.H. audiences know from Spider-Man,” she stressed. “I wanted to preserve that connection because she’s very different in VisionQuest. But, to me, this is really about her being set free.”
