Saturday night the Foo Fighters played a set at the San Bernadino Cal Jam music festival. It would have been just another concert but for the encore, when towering Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic walked onstage and he, Grohl, and Deer Tick guitarist and singer John McCauley launched into a nearly half-hour long set of Nirvana’s greatest hits.

Legendary rocker Joan Jett was one of the Kurt Cobain stand-ins, along with McCauley. Jett covered three songs, “Breed,” “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” and “All Apologies.” 

This isn’t the first time Grohl, Novoselic, and a variety of singers have gotten together to bring back a version of that old Nirvana sound. They performed at their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony along with Jett, Lorde, St. Vincent, and Kim Gordon. 

They’ve also performed in a benefit concerts and joined Paul McCartney on SNL. 

The reunion wasn’t really a big surprise, apparently. 

Yeah, the Foo Fighters weren’t trying to keep that secret very close at all. 

Nirvana could never be the same minus Kurt Cobain, but their songs stand the test of time. Two-thirds of the band is better than nothing at all.

After a long wait, we finally get to see Emily Ratajkowski with Aaron Paul in the first trailer for Welcome Home. The movie was made then first announced in 2017 but we haven’t heard much since then.

It’s hard to figure out why, because this looks intriguing as hell, and not just because there’s the potential of seeing Emrata nude on screen.

Here’s what we know of the plot: Paul and Ratajkowski are a couple, Bryan and Cassie. They’re vacationing in a remote part of Italy in an attempt to salvage their relationship, which appears to have been nearly sabotaged by an affair. Once they’re settled, in comes Frederico (Riccardo Scamarcio, last seen in John Wick: Chapter 2), a creepily suave neighbor who apparently has some serious designs on Cassie.

Because again, she’s played by Emily Ratajkowski, so who wouldn’t have a crush, at minimum?

Frederico is up to no good though, as evidenced by the bank of video monitors seen near the end. 

Welcome Home is in select theaters and available on VOD on November 16.

Meanwhile, Emily Ratajkowski entertains 24/7 via Instagram. C’mon, we had to go there.

Seasonally cold weather is on the horizon, and we’re more than ready to say so long to pull out the oversize jackets and cozy sweaters . The days ahead promise plenty of transitional weather that can make dressing and staying comfortable tricky. If you’re scratching your head over what to wear in 50-degree weather, we have a few ideas.

Take a cue from Farfetch Fashion Director Yasmin Sewell and layer a bell-sleeve top under a short-sleeve dress to avoid bare arms and add a bit of drama in one fell swoop. Consider MyTheresa Buyer Tiffany Hsu’s unconventional evening look for your next night out by pairing a knit turtleneck and denim jacket with your flounciest skirt (Prada’s pink marabou feathers optional but never a bad idea). Or try Tank CEO Caroline Issa’s easy, sophisticated combo of an olive green sweater and jeans under a tailored plaid coat. Either way, you can’t go wrong.

Below are 11 foolproof outfits to wear for a fall or winter day that’s a bit brisk, but not full-on freezing. Plus, shop cool pieces that make layering a cinch.

In the run-up to UFC 229, Conor McGregor seemed even more motor-mouthed than usual with his verbal attacks on UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov. He’s got a gift for colorful insults anyway, but he’d really taken it up a notch. 

McGregor’s taunts and insults didn’t make any difference to his opponent—the Notorious One lost in a submission. Unfortunately for winner Nurmagomedov, what happened after his victory may end with losing his belt—and his visa. 

In three rounds Nurmagomedov virtually humiliated the one-time unbeatable MMA superstar, and the match ended in the fourth with a McGregor tap out. Well, the match ended. The fighting did not.

The moment he released McGregor from the hold that ended it all, Nurmagomedov had a new target in mind. It’s self-evident in the video above. 

Dillon Danis, another rival and a McGregor ally, heckled and insulted Nurmagomedov the entire night, so the ferocious Dagestani vaulted over the cage and came gunning for Danis.

The shocking attack galvanized the crowd, and everybody was kung fu fighting. Okay, maybe not actual kung fu. Either way, it was a little bit frightening. 

The fight didn’t leave the ring, either. Almost simultaneously, members of Nurmagomedov’s team went after the exhausted McGregor. The worst attack came from an MMA fighter in street clothes, who repeatedly pounded McGregor in the head.

Las Vegas Police and T-Mobile Arena security intervened and eventually both fighters were escorted from the venue surrounded by guards protecting them from angry fans of both sides. 

If this had been a normal night there would’ve been commentary from both fighters to report and some kind of ceremony in the Octagon. Obviously, this was not a normal night.

It’s not surprising that emotions went into overdrive once McGregor was taken down. Both fighters really hate each other. That hate was first stoked in April, with the McGregor crew’s now-infamous attack on a bus carrying Nurmagomedov’s crew at Barclays Center—the one where McGregor threw a dolly at the bus and a number of fighters were hurt by flying glass.

McGregor was ordered to take anger management classes by the court after he was arrested. It seems Nurmagomedov needed some as well, as he indicated before the match that he was genuinely angry with his opponent—likely for the Barclays Center attacks as well as McGregor’s colorful and downright nasty tirades against him and his family.

Nurmagomedov did seem contrite afterwards and offered a general apology, saying, “This is not my best side, I am a human being.”

He offered this explanation of his rage against McGregor: “He talked about my religion, country, father. Why are people talking about me jumping over a cage?” 

“My father taught me to respect people,” said Nurmagomedov, “Conor nearly killed two people on that bus.”

Dana White clearly took the event very seriously. He withheld the winner’s belt and both fighters were sent to the showers. In an interview with ESPN he said the Nevada State Athletic Commission hasn’t paid Nurmagomedov yet, either.

It was a solid match, exciting in its own right. Nurmagomedov’s cool, calculating style was on full display as he made McGregor play his game. The Irishman is a great striker and Nurmagomedov a great wrestler. But McGregor couldn’t avoid grappling, in the end, and he was too worn down by round 4 to continue.

The night did have its highlights, however. Prior to the main event, Joe Rogan was interviewing heavyweight Derrick Lewis following Lewis’ victory over Alexander Volkov. Lewis removed his pants and Rogan asked why. 

“My balls is hot,” said Lewis. Dude is nothing if not practical. 

There were plenty of side stories to go around, like the presence of McGregor supporter Drake, who provided comedy relief. 

The singer was ringside, and his expression on seeing Nurmagomedov leave the ring was about as meme-ready as possible.

Dumb memes aside, the riot may severely damage Khabib Nurmagomedov’s career. Speaking after the match, UFC president Dana White said, “We have to see what happens with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.” 

“There’s going to be fines,” he continued, “There’s going to be God knows what. Can these guys get visas and get back into the country? I mean Khabib. We’ll see how this thing plays out. I’ve been doing this for 18 years and the biggest night ever and I couldn’t be more disappointed.”

Did you catch this post last time? If so, simply continue on for a trove of inspiration and shopping. If not, here’s the rundown… As someone who was actually pretty late in the game (the game here being Instagram’s saved collections), I now wonder what I was thinking. I love utilizing the feature to save anything from funny memes to interestingly composed photos to fashion pieces I love (and naturally want to buy). Speaking of that latter use, I decided to start reaching out to my fellow Who What Wear editors to find out what they’ve been eyeing too. Needless to say, they deliver every time.
