There’s no question that beauty influencer Alix Earle knows makeup: Millions tune in for her “Get Ready With Me,” or GRWM, tutorials. But the 22-year-old University of Miami graduate could probably use an explainer on how real moms actually dress.

In a recent TikTok video, Earle invited fans to watch her pick out an outfit to wear to a Miami Dolphins game. Earle’s boyfriend, Braxton Berrios, plays wide receiver for the team.  

Earle settles on an orange bodysuit paired with distressed denim shorts, “comfy” white heels and a “tiny Jimmy Choo bag” that appears to have enough room to hold a single raisin. She tops it off with a Dolphins baseball cap.

“I feel like a mom picking up her kids from school,” Earle declared after inspecting her reflection in a mirror. 

“I don’t know why a mom would be dressed like this to pick her kids up from school, but that’s what I’m going to be dressed like,” she added, with a smile.

Cue the funny moms of TikTok. 

Cassidy Montalvo, who has a toddler, stitched Earle’s video while holding an armful of miscellaneous items.

“So you’re missing a few things … The hat you got right,” Cassidy Montalvo began. “You are forgetting the backpack full of snacks that your kid liked yesterday but hates today. The water bottle that they will leave at school, inevitably. The jacket they’ll refuse to wear even though it’s below 30 outside … and a cold cup of coffee. There. You need more props and then you’ll be set.”

Nicki Maher, a mother of two in Massachusetts, also stitched Earle’s video. In the footage, Maher is shown standing on her front porch in sweatpants and slippers. Her hair is in a messy bun.

“I was exactly like Alix — I had this image of what motherhood was going to look like. But it’s a total hot mess situation,” Maher, 46, tells TODAY.com.

“You’ll see me doing pickup in a hoodie with no bra … pajama bottoms and my bun,” she says. 

Mari Ebert also had a good laugh when Earle announced, “I feel like a mom picking her kids up at school.”

Ebert tells TODAY.com her go-to school pickup outfit includes comfy pants, T-shirts, Crocs and is often “bra optional.” She’s not sure her children would even recognize her if she showed up in Earle’s ensemble.

“I think if I showed up at pickup looking like Alix my kids would walk right past me,” Ebert jokes.

Earle’s followers are also ribbing her in the comments section of her TikTok video.

“Idc if it’s 10 years from now. I’m gunna need you to stitch this wearing the sweatshirt you haven’t washed in days when you have a kid,” one person wrote.

Added another, “The way non-mom’s plan to mom sends me.”

Virgil van Dijk could face further punishment after his red card against Newcastle after the Liverpool captain appeared to label John Brooks’ decision a ‘f****** joke’

Virgil van Dijk could face further punishment by the Football Association after appearing to berate the referee’s decision to send him off on Sunday as a ‘f***ing joke’, which potentially falls into the category of improper conduct towards officials.

The Liverpool captain was shown a straight red card in the first half of Liverpool’s comeback win at Newcastle for a contentious challenge to deny Alexander Isak a goalscoring opportunity. 

And the Dutchman could now face an FA rap for pointing in referee John Brooks’ face, appearing to use foul language and originally refusing to walk off the field. Van Dijk also appeared to exchange strong words with fourth official Craig Pawson.

Former referee Mike Dean told Mail Sport: ‘Van Dijk disagreed as he unleashed a verbal volley on fourth official Craig Pawson, which was out of line.

The Liverpool captain appeared to be furious after he was sent off against Newcastle

Depending on what is written in the referee’s report, Van Dijk may find himself in further trouble with the football authorities.’

Per FA guidelines, players can receive further punishment for ‘improper conduct’ such as abusive language.

Numerous players in the past have been given further matches to their original suspension for conduct towards officials after a red card, and the FA handbook states it will punish ‘confrontational’ behaviour.

Sophie Turner was spotted with one of her lawyers on Friday morning in New York City.

The 26-year-old star appeared to be in a more jovial mood as she flashed a rare smile – in the past few days Turner has appeared more grim faced. 

Sophie is on day three of mediation to work on her divorce from singer Joe Jonas.

The X-Men star, who shares two daughters with 34-year-old Jonas Brothers band member, wore her hair down and had on Ray-Ban sunglasses with gold hoop earrings and her gold wedding ring in place.

Her attire was on the casual side.

Turner was accompanied by lawyer Catherine Bedford as they arrived at a law office in Manhattan.

Mediation: Sophie Turner was spotted with one of her lawyers in New York on Friday as she and Joe Jonas embark on their third day of mediation to resolve their divorce

Represented by the best: The X-Men star, 26, who shares two daughters with 34-year-old Jonas Brothers band member, was accompanied by lawyer Catherine Bedford 

Sophie was dressed down. She wore a floral print jacket and faded jeans as she seemed to be channeling a 70s feel.

Carrying a large white tote over her shoulder and a handful of accessories, the mother of two appeared ready for business. 

She topped off the look in a set of red flats as she kept close to Bedford while entering the building. In her hand was a cell phone and bottle of water. 

Bedford – who works for law firm Harbottle & Lewis – ‘deals with all areas of family law including divorce and separation; the breakdown of civil partnerships; cohabitation disputes; jurisdictional disputes and enforcement; pre- and post-nuptial agreements; freezing injunctions; appeals; and applications to vary maintenance’ according to the firm’s website. 

This comes two days after the former power couple left the first day of their mediations to resolve their ongoing divorce battle separately – two hours apart. 

The Game of Thrones star has petitioned to take their two young daughters back to the UK, while the singer wants joint custody amid their public split. 

While Sophie strode out of the mediation through the main entrance on foot at 6pm, her estranged husband stayed two hours later and then tried to sneak out undetected via a service driveway. 

Joe Jonas sat in the back of a black SUV – which he had parked in a garage – and was quietly driven from the office space in Manhattan’s Financial District at 8pm. 

Sophie also looked tired after the first of their four-day discussions – although she smiled as she arrived back to Taylor Swift‘s luxury apartment, where she’s staying with her daughters. 

Over the weekend, Sophie spent Sunday evening in Swift’s entourage as they watched Travis Kelce‘s Chiefs play the New York Jets at the MetLife stadium. 

The actress, who has become close with the popstar ever since her divorce was made public last month, left the football game arm-in-arm with Swift.

Meanwhile, Joe is in the thick of his world tour for The Jonas Brothers.  

Earlier on Wednesday, the British actress and 34-year-old Jonas arrived separately at the offices of Wilmer Hale to thrash out a divorce agreement.

Sophie donned a casual outfit of blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a green hooded jacket. She was accompanied by a woman who appeared to be part of her legal team.

In the morning, Sophie was seen leaving Swift’s apartment with the same woman.

Joe ended up staying in the building for around 10 hours on Wednesday.  

A hearing held on Tuesday revealed the former couple will meet this week to resolve issues in their split, including custody of their daughters Delphine, one, and Willa, three.

Ongoing battle: This comes two days after the former power couple left the first day of their mediations to resolve their ongoing divorce battle separately – two hours apart.

Turner’s lawyer said they would go ‘full hog’ to resolve the matter during the process.

A court was previously told that Jonas wants 50/50 custody and a judge set a January 2 date for a trial for deciding custody of the girls, with lawyers claiming there could be multiple witnesses for both sides.

The hearing was the first at the court in New York, but the split also involves divorce cases in Miami and the UK.

Jonas filed for divorce in Miami on September 1 with sources close to him claiming that Turner had been out partying too much, leaving him alone to look after their daughters. 

Turner fired back, accusing Jonas of refusing to hand over the girls’ passports so they could return to England with her.

She cited an international child abduction law as grounds for the children being with her.

Both sides have agreed that the girls will remain in New York until the matter is resolved. 

Turner is staying at an apartment in the city owned by popstar Taylor Swift, who previously dated Jonas.

No dice: A court was previously told that Jonas – pictured left arriving at the legal office on Wednesday – wants 50/50 custody

Her lawyer Stephen Cullen told the court that there was ‘some difficulty’ between the two parties with regards to scheduling a trial to decide custody of the girls.

Cullen said he wanted an ‘amicable resolution’ in the case in the quickest fashion.

He said that the trial, which would take place under Hague laws concerning child abduction, would last at most two-and-a-half days as it would cover a ‘very narrow’ range of issues such as where the children’s habitual residence was.

Cullen said that it was ‘essential’ that a trial took place this year because both sides were ‘very young litigants’ who had ‘extremely young children’.

Judge Katherine Polk Failla asked Cullen if he wanted a trial set given that mediation was taking place.

He said he wanted it to run ‘parallel’ to the mediation. 

Cullen said: ‘We are starting mediation tomorrow (Wednesday) and are going full hog to do everything we possibly can to resolve this matter’.

Cullen said that the interim order signed by the judge keeping the children in New York would be ‘addressed head-on’ during the mediation, raising the prospect Turner may return to England soon.

Cullen also told the court that Jonas was seeking 50/50 custody of the girls, a claim that he said would ‘evaporate’ many of Jonas’s defenses in the case.

Jonas’s lawyer Richard Min told the court that his client was on a world tour which was taking a break on December 9 and so could not be available for a trial before then.

Currently the daughters are with Turner, the court heard.

Previous legal filings have detailed how the couple’s three year marriage rapidly broke up in August after Jonas reportedly saw Turner insulting him on their Ring camera.

He filed for divorce two weeks later claiming their relationship was ‘irretrievably broken’ and sources close to the singer tried to portray Turner as partying too hard and leaving him looking after their daughters.

But Turner responded with the lawsuit in New York under international child abduction laws.

In court papers she claimed that the couple sold their home in Miami in March and that they bought a $9million home near Oxford, England, which they meant as their ‘forever home’.

Turner went further in legal filings in Miami where she included a letter Jonas wrote to the seller of the property that showed him gushing about the prospect of living there.

The sale of the house is set to be finalized on December 2 but has reportedly not yet gone through, with the divorce potentially throwing a wrench in the deal.
