‘People didn’t like women in space’: how Sally Ride made history and paid the price

Ride was the first US woman in space – but a National Geographic documentary looks at how she was forced to hide her queerness to succeed A week before Sally – a documentary about the first American woman to fly into space – landed at the Sundance film festival in January, Nasa employees received emails informing them how Donald Trump’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) rollbacks would take effect. Contracts and offices associated with DEI programs were to be terminated. Staff were given Orwellian instruction to inform the government of any attempt to disguise inclusion efforts in “coded or imprecise language”. In the weeks to follow, Nasa would take back its promise to send the first woman and person of color to the moon’s surface.

Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Elsa Hosk, and other stars at the Revolve 2022 party

Celebrity outfits confirmed the main trends of this spring. Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Elsa Hosk, and other stars at the Revolve 2022 party In sunny California, the first weekend of the Coachella music festival took place, famous not only for the performances of first-rate stars but also for the fact that an incredible number of celebrities come to it. Each appearance of star guests at Coachella is an occasion for journalists and guests of the event to discuss outrageous outfits and evaluate fashion trends. On the second day of the event, celebrities traditionally went to the Revolve party, organized at the festival by an online platform selling clothes, shoes, and accessories. Kim Kardashian went to the photo zone in the company of sister Kendall Jenner and Revolve brand founder Michael Mente. The 41-year-old star of the reality shows The Kardashians chose for the photocall an asymmetrical gray top and a Rick Owens thigh-slit skirt, high-laced Jimmy Choo sandals, and a Coperni bag which became a 100% hit of the season. Her sister Kendall chose a total-white look for a hot day: a crop top, wide trousers, and leather flip-flops with a massive sole. The supermodel braided her hair into several high braids and complemented the look with a thin gold chain, earrings, and a small black handbag. Supermodel Elsa Hosk opted for a cute country-style outfit: a pale pink LPA top with openwork ruffles, a Saint Laurent denim midi skirt, and black leather boots. The model also opted for the most popular hairstyle of spring, two braids with braided ribbons, and completed her boho look with a Christian Dior mini bag. Former Victoria's Secret Angels showed off another trend this season - corsets. Newly married Josephine Skriver accessorized the corset in black with neon green pants, a fanny pack, and Balenciaga sneakers, while Sara Sampaio opted for black jeans and stiletto sandals.
