  + stars: | 2023-03-17 | by ( Ashley Ogawa Clarke | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
I SPY A HIGHLY DEFINED WAIST ‘James Bond’ star Daniel Craig in a trio of recent hourglass looks. Not Scarlett Johansson, or some Marilyn Monroe manqué, but Daniel Craig, a man who’s famously embodied James Bond. Mr. Craig, 55, smoldered in a cinched navy tux—his latest embrace of waist-nipping tailoring. If you think the “hourglass” is solely a feminine ideal, 007 is here to tell you otherwise. Along with fellow A-listers including Idris Elba, Mr. Craig is making men want such exaggerated tailoring for one simple reason: The narrow waist accentuates his broad shoulders and chest, making him look more buff.

☆ The US may have lost in the World Cup, but soccer is more popular than ever in America

The Atlas Lions made history as the first African team to reach a World Cup semifinal. They made history as the first all-female refereeing crew for a men's World Cup match. It was Morocco's first World Cup win since 1998 — and its third-ever at the tournament. Less spoken about is that they also rate better on television than the men do in the World Cup. We’ll just have to wait and see, though with the US, Canada and Mexico hosting the 2026 World Cup, soccer isn’t going away anytime soon.
