We had the showâs first same-sex couple, a (gasp!) 39-year-old Bachelorette, and several leads of color. But Claytonâs season, so far anyway, has marked a retreat to the showâs core tenets: love, marriage, and family â preferably before age 30.

Since Gen Z has declared blond hair as âcheugyâ (apologies to any blond readers out there), though, there has been a wave of celebs ditching their golden locks for âexpensive brunette.â [Read More](%2F%2Fwww.bustle.com%2Fstyle%2Fpixie-haircuts-for-fine-hair%3Futm_campaign=20216%26utm_medium=bustle%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=d742a11b-2f24-42a9-beac-3c81e347d43a/2/0100017e93be4f26-88d8bf7c-ca99-49b8-b346-72211b0e927d-000000/cpGUy_i90VX1H4FGK4toYW6XpAY=255) BEAUTY [Why Everyone's Wearing Plum Lipstick Right Now](%2F%2Fwww.bustle.com%2Fstyle%2Fplum-lipstick%3Futm_campaign=20216%26utm_medium=bustle%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=d742a11b-2f24-42a9-beac-3c81e347d43a/1/0100017e93be4f26-88d8bf7c-ca99-49b8-b346-72211b0e927d-000000/KoV7daw819drZV5Q9EQ4UU_5daQ=255) Itâs a classic winter shade, sure, but TikTok is currently obsessed with one Clinique formulation in particular.

Theyâre shapeshifters, fitting in new places easily â just like Jules did when she moved to town. But being the diplomat of the zodiac isnât all rainbows and sunshine.

Absolutely.â Here, she talks to Bustle about bringing her Afro-Latina identity to the screen, motherhood, and the cringe of public proposals.
