Julianne Moore attended the premiere of The Debut during the 2026 New York Film Festival on Wednesday night.

The actress wore one of her go-to labels, Bottega Veneta, but surprisingly, not her go-to colour.
Julianne and black have become almost synonymous on the red carpet, so I love that she decided to brighten things up in this cream organza embroidered top and ivory silk trousers, complemented by matching Bottega Veneta Allegra pumps.
The volume and texture of the top immediately made me think of Tracee Ellis Ross, who would absolutely embrace a look like this. But it works just as well for Julianne, with the fluid trousers providing a lovely contrast to all that feather-like texture. It's a refreshing change from the more streamlined silhouettes we've become accustomed to seeing Julianne wear.

Fresh off the plane from Paris, Emma Stone stepped onto the New York Film Festival red carpet for the premiere of her upcoming film, The Debut.

We were blown away by the bright blue Louis Vuitton tailored look she wore in the front row of the Spring 2027 show, and I was hopeful it would signal a run of bolder fashion choices. But seeing Emma back on the red carpet in this fresh-off-the-runway Louis Vuitton Spring 2027 slip dress, I feel like we're right back where we started.
My main issue is the top half of the dress. The draped neckline and contrasting panel feel awkward, while the pale grey and beige tones wash her out, especially after seeing how well she wore that vivid blue in Paris.
Looking at the runway, I would have much preferred the original yellow version. We already know how good Emma looks in yellow. Her 2014 Atelier Versace dress, 2026 Golden Globes look, Bugonia London premiere look and that iconic La La Land dress are all reminders of how well the colour works for her.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly walking back their "hot-headed" comments about the royal family. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the Sussexes have made explosive claims against senior royals. A source has now claimed that the remorse has sparked talks of reconciliation, with the couple apparently considering an apology to Prince William.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly plan to apologize to the royal family for remarks made during their explosive 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. A source told the Daily Express that the couple has been aware "that they would need to eat humble pie" following their UK return.
However, the insider continued, "Their one big regret about leaving the royal family for the US was their interview with Oprah, and Meghan knows her biggest mistake was her claim that a royal family member had discussed Archie's skin colour."
For more context, Meghan alleged that there were "concerns and conversations" within the royal family about what complexion her son Archie would have before his birth. The comments came after the Sussexes stepped down as senior royals and relocated to the US. As the couple would not reveal who made the remark, it created a fallout that forced Prince William to issue a denial to the press.
Speaking about the move, the insider added, "Harry was angry with his family at the time, and backed Meghan up, but they now realise what a low blow it was. They both know they're hot-headed and realise they took things too far, and they should have kept quiet." The source further shared that the Sussexes want a face-to-face meeting to address their previous remarks, where Meghan will apologize.

Sophie Okonedo is one of my favourite celebrities, so I was delighted to see her back on the red carpet for the Clarissa press tour. However, while looking back at her appearances today, I realised that I completely missed her at the film's Cannes Film Festival premiere. So that is where I'm going to start.

Since Sophie has always had an affinity for simple silhouettes with dramatic accents, this custom Dior feather-trimmed dress made perfect sense for her.
What I appreciate most is that the feathers aren't treated as an embellishment confined to one area. They trace the asymmetric neckline before sweeping around the skirt and into the train, giving the black dress the kind of personality Sophie's red carpet looks tend to have. It's glamorous, but still feels entirely within her wheelhouse.
I think the new hair colour and style may have been the reason she slipped under my radar in Cannes. I'm so accustomed to seeing Sophie with her signature cornrows that I genuinely didn't recognise her at first.

It's clear that the Princess of Wales has entered her autumn style era. Now that October is upon us, the 44-year-old has embraced the seasonal change with a plethora of darker-toned items.
Last week, Kate hosted a secret tea party for Three Peaks Challenge participants and their families at Windsor Castle. The royal looked elegant in a chocolate brown-coloured belted dress by the famously English heritage label Burberry. The structured fit-and-flare silhouette offered a clean, monochromatic look.
A new item in Kate's wardrobe, the £1,760 tailored dress is cut in a fit-and-flare silhouette that's cinched in with a striking, gold twist-lock belt. It also has slip pockets, which Kate was spotted appearing to use at certain moments. The dress appears to be bespoke as the sleeves are three-quarter length, whereas the frock on the shelves featured capped sleeves.

A year earlier, Kate wore the very same dress, but in black. During the German State visit in 2025, the mother of three was pictured viewing exhibits from the Royal Collection relating to Germany in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, alongside her husband, Prince William.

Over the past few years, Hollywood icon Pamela Anderson has revealed that her garden is her haven, one which mirrors her natural, make-up-free ethos.
Her beautiful garden sits within the Canadian childhood home that she took over to renovate in 2020.
In a post on her beauty brand's Instagram account, the mother of two is wearing a plethora of fabulous outfits to tend to her plants, and one of them is a rather bold ensemble. The 59-year-old wore a nude-coloured tutu skirt.
The eye-catching design is the kind of separate you wear for a special occasion, but Pamela made the look a little more casual by adding a copper-toned sweatshirt. With her tumbling blonde hair looking thicker than ever, Pamela looked at ease, sans makeup, within the enchanting backdrop.
Last month, the actress attended an event for Milan Fashion Week and shocked fans with her dramatic black eyeliner transformation.

"Happy heavenly #birthday to my dearest #sister jackiecollins - always in my heart," Joan wrote, adding heart and feather emojis.

Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece never misses when it comes to her fashion, and the royal managed to turn heads once again as she headed to Paris Fashion Week.
On Saturday, the 30-year-old stepped out for the Business of Fashion's BoF 500 Gala, which celebrates the class of its prestigious BoF 500 index, which highlights the people who are shaping global fashion.
Maria-Olympia resembled a Greek goddess in a sleek, backless black dress that also featured a sky-high slit. Her bright blonde hair provided the perfect contrast to the darker colour of the dress as it cascaded down her shoulder.
She finished off the daring ensemble with a pair of towering black heels that matched both her dress and her perfectly manicured nails.

Pierpaolo Piccioli presented his Balenciaga Spring 2027 collection on Thursday in front of a packed celebrity front row, bringing together longtime house faces, a few unexpected arrivals and some names I'm very intrigued to see here.
Tiziano Raw
Lauryn Hill might be the person who makes the most sense in this front row. Some will say, yes, but under Demna. However, there is enough edge and plenty of colour in Pierpaolo's Spring 2027 collection to appeal to Ms Hill, although I suspect she'll skip the more romantic looks from the opening section.

Shailene Woodley was another person I expected to see in the front row. After the hammering she got for her Balenciaga look at the Emmys, inviting her to Paris and putting her up in a nice hotel was the least they could do.

Emilia Clarke returned to the Emmy Awards this evening, where she reunited with Emma D'Arcy for a Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon crossover moment as they presented Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

Lilac is the unexpected colour of the night, with Florence Pugh and Sarah Pidgeon wearing the same hue, but sadly, the colour is where my enthusiasm ends with this Prada gown.
And the issues remain the same. I feel like I'm just repeating myself at this point.
Have a signature by all means with this silhouette, which in this case comes with a cape-style back featuring symmetrical bows, but when the tailoring and fabric – this time silk faille – consistently become the main talking points for the wrong reasons, it's just disappointing for such a big brand.

We've already seen what Ayo Edebiri has delivered at the Toronto International Film Festival, but she isn't the only Chanel ambassador in town. Lily-Rose Depp, Penélope Cruz and Margaret Qualley have also been representing the house across premieres, dinners and the TIFF Tribute Awards.

This mini tweed Chanel dress couldn't be more Lily-Rose Depp coded. The fitted silhouette, contrast trim and prominent double-C logo all sit firmly within her usual Chanel vocabulary, but the red earrings give the black-and-white look the pop of colour it needed. It's familiar territory for Lily-Rose, and it always works so well.

This pale-yellow Chanel Fall 2026 dress does feel like a step outside Lily-Rose's comfort zone, both in terms of style and colour. That quintessentially French-girl quality we've long ****** ociated with her Chanel wardrobe isn't as apparent in Matthieu Blazy's designs, which is allowing us to see another side of her style.

If you were worried that Sarah's awards season run was going to be a succession of black dresses, fear not, because she switched gears in a Givenchy Pre-Fall 2026 oxblood leather dress.
There is considerably more going on here than we've seen from Sarah on the red carpet recently. The folded, asymmetric neckline gives the leather some shape and interest, while the oxblood colour is a welcome change of pace.
For me, this is the kind of look that makes Sarah's style more interesting. The black dresses have served her well and become something of a signature, but I'm hoping this is an indication of what she could give us as awards season gathers pace.

LONDON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - The first visitors to the British Museum's blockbuster Bayeux Tapestry exhibition spoke of their excitement at seeing with their own eyes the 1,000-year-old embroidery many remember from school lessons.
The sell-out display, which opened to the public on Thursday, has sparked a Bayeux craze across Britain, with newspapers producing special guides, online discussions about securing tickets, and the pub opposite the museum temporarily changing its name to "The Beer Tapestry".
The masterpiece will be shown at the museum in central London for the next 10 months, having left France for the first time since the 11th century. It depicts the Norman invasion of England in 1066, the most famous date in the nation's history.
"It's just magical, isn't it?" said Pauline Gairey, 53, a finance professional who had travelled from Wales, and recalled studying the tapestry at school.

The Williams F1 team's special livery for the Spanish GP weekend has raised some eyebrows on social media, considering the colours it is running that had links with the Bin Laden family.
Williams showed its special livery for the F1 Spanish GP at Madring, going back in time to use the colours that they ran aboard the FW07, which was driven in various versions between the 1979 and 1982 F1 seasons. They modelled the colour used in the 1981 Spanish GP – the FW07C.
They raced at the Jarama circuit, with the car driven by Alan Jones and Carlos Reutemann. The colour was linked to sponsorship from Saudi Arabia's Saudia Airlines and Albilad. Having started its journey in 1977 in Formula 1, Williams got sponsorship from the Middle East first in the 1978 F1 season.
The team ran as Albilad-Saudia Racing Team in 1979, which continued through to 1981. In the 1980 and 1981 seasons, they had one car with the Albilad Williams Racing Team name, while the second car ran under a different sponsor. The Albilad sponsorship continued until 1983, even though it didn't appear in the name.
The Saudia sponsorship lasted until 1984, after which Williams got the famous Canon sponsorship. The contentious name of 'Bin Laden' that fans are vocal about on social media pertains only to the 1979 F1 season, the first time the British outfit got backing from Saudi Arabia.

After a run of five colourful looks at the Venice Film Festival, Pamela Anderson switched gears in a Gucci Primavera long-sleeve jersey dress, styled with black pumps and a silver crystal-embellished clutch.
Does she look good? Yes. But I think this also confirms that bolder colours work better for her. After seeing how much those shades enlivened her Venice wardrobe, I find myself instantly missing the colour here.

Spectacular goals, peerless technique and a true Nerazzurri heart: born in Belgrade on 11 September 1978, Dejan Stankovic celebrates his 48th birthday today. Deki spent nine years in Nerazzurri colours, from January 2004 to 2013, making 326 appearances, scoring 42 goals and lifting an incredible 15 trophies: one Champions League, one FIFA Club World Cup, five Scudetti, and the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana four times apiece. Those achievements also earned him a place in the Club's Hall of Fame, fitting recognition of his deep bond with the Nerazzurri. To mark his birthday, Internazionale Morning Club looks back on his Inter journey through the story of one unforgettable match: the 4-3 derby victory over AC Milan on 28 October 2006.
Take a moment to picture the goal you would most like to score if you were a footballer. Your first thought is probably the right one: a goal from the halfway line. Perhaps even on the volley. Now imagine not merely dreaming of it, but actually doing it. And then doing it again in a Champions League quarter-final. This is no dream. This is Dejan Stankovic.
And yet, on reflection, perhaps there was no single position in which Dejan Stankovic was irreplaceable. He could play anywhere in a flat 4-4-2 or a midfield diamond. Look at it just as objectively, however, and it becomes impossible to leave the Serbian midfielder out of any all-time Inter XI. Indeed, he is almost always there. He went straight into the Club's Hall of Fame in 2019, receiving more votes than any other midfielder.
It is difficult to name an aspect of the game at which Deki did not excel. We have already mentioned his shooting: there were plenty of goals, and they always seemed to matter. Four came in derbies, for starters. Two arrived during the 2009/10 Champions League campaign, helping Inter emerge unbeaten from testing group-stage encounters away to Rubin Kazan and at home to Dynamo Kyiv - two important steps on the road to Champions League success.
Choosing one defining moment is no easy task. It would be all too obvious to celebrate those two masterpieces from the halfway line - or, in truth, from even farther out. Their time will come. Instead, we have chosen another: a goal scored in a derby that all but confirmed a shift in the balance of power in Milano. After two decades in which the Rossoneri generally held the upper hand, from 1986 to 2006, the 20 years since have largely belonged to the Nerazzurri.

NEW DELHI: Mohammed Shami may be in the latter phase of his career, but the veteran pacer believes young Indian cricketers are arriving with a level of maturity that means they need less coaching and more timely guidance.
Shami, who has not played for India since March 2025 and last featured in a Test during the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval in 2023, spoke about mentoring youngsters after helping East Zone win the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone.
Among those who caught his attention was Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the teenage batter who was part of the East Zone squad.
"I thoroughly enjoyed it. The kid in our team (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) is literally as old as my career. He has that youthful innocence, loves to joke around, and absorbs things quickly," Shami said.
The 36-year-old believes the exposure young players receive today, particularly through the IPL and other high-pressure competitions, has accelerated their development.
"But most of these youngsters are already quite mature. With the level of cricket they play today—featuring in the IPL and other high-pressure tournaments—maturity comes early, so you don't need to over-coach them," he said.
"But yes, when the game gets tight and challenging, that's when you step in with tactical inputs and remind them to keep fighting," he added.
Shami's own motivation, meanwhile, remains undiminished despite his prolonged absence from India colours.
"There are plenty of reasons to stay motivated if you look for them. At this level, if you aren't self-motivated, your approach is wrong. No matter what stage you're playing at, your eyes must always be set on the next level," he said.
Shami took two important wickets, dismissing Ravichandran Smaran and Sheikh Rasheed, as East Zone secured the Duleep Trophy ******* le on the basis of a first-innings lead. The triumph also coincided with his 100th first-class appearance.
"As far as satisfaction goes, achieving this in my 100th match—and that too in a winning Duleep Trophy final—is special. East Zone has won this after a very long time. You've seen how we performed.
"Every single boy put his heart and soul into this campaign to get us here. To achieve this in these conditions, in this heat, is outstanding. As for me, whether it's your first match or your 100th, it doesn't matter—the effort and the approach remain exactly the same," he said.
Shami also stressed that the level of cricket does not change his approach.
"When you wear that crest on your chest, the level of cricket doesn't matter. If you play for the badge, that hunger will naturally show. Your willingness to fight only grows when you play with that pride.
"My mindset is simple: whichever level I get an opportunity to play, I want to make it count and fulfil my responsibility toward the team," he said.

Shami, who has not played for India since March 2025 and last featured in a Test during the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval in 2023, spoke about mentoring youngsters after helping East Zone win the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone.
Among those who caught his attention was Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the teenage batter who was part of the East Zone squad.
"I thoroughly enjoyed it. The kid in our team (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) is literally as old as my career. He has that youthful innocence, loves to joke around, and absorbs things quickly," Shami said.
The 36-year-old believes the exposure young players receive today, particularly through the IPL and other high-pressure competitions, has accelerated their development.
"But most of these youngsters are already quite mature. With the level of cricket they play today—featuring in the IPL and other high-pressure tournaments—maturity comes early, so you don't need to over-coach them," he said.
"But yes, when the game gets tight and challenging, that's when you step in with tactical inputs and remind them to keep fighting," he added.
Shami's own motivation, meanwhile, remains undiminished despite his prolonged absence from India colours.

Allan Saint-Maximin could have stayed quiet.
But the French winger felt it was "important to step up" and speak out after his children were racially abused this year.
"Whatever your colour is, you don't have to accept this," he tells BBC Sport.
Saint-Maximin made it clear on Instagram in January that "hatred and discrimination have no place in our society".
The lengthy post was liked by more than 159,000 people, including former Newcastle United team-mates Kieran Trippier and Joelinton.

Sept 9 (Reuters) - The photos tell a story of lives, interrupted.
The schoolroom, gaily decorated with paintings and letters. The paint shop, where the shelves still contain rows of once colourful cans. The bathroom, the closet that held neatly piled clothing, the yards. All are now covered with a thick layer of river mud that descended without warning on bustling communities.
As the waters recede, the survivors remain stunned, grieving and praying.
A string of miracle rescues in recent days has kept hopes alive that more people might still be saved from the catastrophe of August 26 when a glacier collapsed, sending a mass of mud and rock crashing into a river along the border between Nepal and China's Tibet. The resulting floods washed away villages, snapped highways like twigs, and buried homes in the mud.
At least 1,380 bodies have so far been pulled from the wreckage, some far downstream from the site of the disaster. A wall outside a Kathmandu hospital plastered with photos and desperate appeals hints at the unfinished story of an estimated 5,500 people who remain missing.

Barcelona sporting director Deco has provided an explanation for the club's decision to reject the permanent signing of Marcus Rashford, in favour of bringing in Anthony Gordon.
Winger Rashford of course spent the duration of last season plying his trade on loan in Catalunya's capital. The Englishman, for the most part, enjoyed an impressive stint in Blaugrana colours, racking up 28 goal contributions across all competitions.
After lengthy deliberation heading into the summer, however, the Camp Nou brass made the call not to make Rashford's move a permanent one.
Instead, they turned focus towards deal for fellow countryman Anthony Gordon, despite Newcastle's considerably steeper asking price.
Speaking during an appearance in front of the media this week, the aforementioned Deco was therefore asked for the first time exactly why he and his team of directors opted for Gordon over Rashford.

Pamela Anderson has recalled being given "a death sentence" when she was diagnosed with hepatitis C in the late '90s.
The Baywatch actress gave a powerful speech about her diagnosis and recovery from the virus as she was honoured with amfAR's Award of Courage during the Venice Film Festival on Sunday night.
"It was a death sentence. That's what my doctor told me - that I probably had around 10 years to live," the 59-year-old told the audience, according to Variety. "I'm sure that coloured and corrupted my decisions. It was not fear of death, but fear of what might happen to my young children. It turned my life inside out."
A cure for the viral infection was found in 2011, and Anderson became "hep C free" in 2015 after paying "everything I had in my bank" to receive treatment.
"But my experience of shame and guilt was also an unconscious journey. It stays with me; it haunts me," she continued. "And just like the ******* ual abuse that I endured as a child, it felt like it was carved into my forehead: Damaged goods. And I presented myself as such."
The Last Showgirl star admitted that she has "finally come to terms" with her health news and is using that to fuel her career renaissance.

Irina Shayk is one of the many models bringing glamour to the Venice Film Festival, and so far, she has served up four looks spanning body-con Alaïa, two archival pulls and a more subdued turn on the red carpet.
Agostino Fabio/WireImage
Irina arrived in Venice wearing a fitted Alaïa dress styled with a Ferragamo Cara bag and Alaïa mesh shoes, proving that even her off-duty looks come with plenty of ****** appeal.
The slate-grey colour may be subdued, but there is nothing understated about the silhouette. This is classic Irina, and an easy introduction to her Venice wardrobe.

Despite Pamela Anderson being at the Venice Film Festival for her new film, Place to Be, the actress has also been making the most of her time in Venice with several appearances, including the amfAR Venezia gala, where she received the Award of Courage for her advocacy and charitable work.

And if there is one thread connecting her Venice wardrobe so far, it is colour. Pamela has moved from coral pink to vivid clementine and wisteria, with each look offering a different take on glamour.
Oscar de la Renta has become something of a go-to label for Pamela, and this coral-pink cape-effect gown makes it easy to understand why.
The colour is beautiful on her, but it is the cape that sells this for me. Draped across one shoulder and secured with an embellished floral brooch, it gives a relatively simple gown far more presence.

It's been wonderful to see Pamela Anderson lighting up the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival 2026, and the beautiful 59-year-old has donned some eye-catching, high-end outfits.
On Monday, the blonde beauty was pictured arriving at the Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Pier during the famed film festival. Looking like a picture of sartorial elegance, the mother of two wore a black tailored suit, a chic pie-crust blouse, and finished it off with a pair of Hollywood-esque big shades.

Her face appeared makeup-free, and her famed platinum blonde locks were brushed back effortlessly. But we couldn't help but notice that she was sporting a rosy pink lip colour, complete with lip liner, even though the star essentially gave up makeup on the red carpet back in 2023.

The pair were tied at 4-4 after the afternoon session, which included a 139 from Selby.
Another century break brought Selby level at 5-5 before Jones, who beat Judd Trump in the semi-final, started to pull away by moving into a two frame lead at 7-5.
Breaks of 53 and 62 put Jones one frame from victory and, after England's Selby missed a green on the colours, the Welshman secured victory.
"I can't believe it to be honest," Jones, who won his first ranking ******* le with victory at the 2026 Championship League in July, told Channel 5.

Bayern Munich star Jonathan Tah has taken to social media this weekend, to send a message of congratulations the way of new Barcelona youngster Mikael Baza.
Baza, for those not familiar with his name, is fresh off putting pen to paper on contract terms in Catalunya's capital. Identified as a transfer target on the part of the Barcelona brass owing to his exploits in the youth ranks of German outfit Hamburg, Deco and co. launched a late-window ***** ault on his signature.
From here, the 16-year-old was unveiled as a Blaugrana player this past Monday, set to link up with Barca Atlètic for the season ahead.
And as alluded to above, Baza has since received a congratulatory message from a leading German international, namely Bayern Munich's Jonathan Tah.
Stopper Tah is the older cousin of Baza, and therefore took to social media on Saturday to reveal his delight for the German youth international. In a post on his official Instagram account, Tah unveiled a photo of Baza in Barcelona colours, accompanied by the caption:

A member of the loan ranks at La Liga champions Barcelona enjoyed something of a breakout performance in the colours of his new club this weekend.
The player in question? Ronald Araújo.
Stopper Araújo of course brought a surprise close to his Barcelona stint earlier this summer, taking his talents to Premier League heavyweights Liverpool on loan for the duration of the campaign.
The Uruguayan had since endured something of a hit-and-miss start to life at Anfield, accused of looking clumsy across a pair of appearances off the bench.
On Friday evening, though, Araújo provided a glimpse at the kind of physical dominance of which he is capable when firing on all cylinders.

Al-Hilal's Karim Benzema (38) was close to signing a return to Olympique Lyonnais this summer, according to reports in L'Équipe.
Approached by the management of the Rhône-based club, where he came through the ranks, the Ballon d'Or winner had expressed enthusiasm at the prospect of once again donning the Rouge & Bleu colours. So much so that he was prepared to play there without receiving any remuneration.
However, despite mutual interest from all parties, the deal could not be finalised, as Benzema had not yet been released from his contract with Al-Hilal at that time – something he has since done. His role as an ambassador for the Saudi league, which runs until 2030 and which the striker was keen to honour, also proved to be an obstacle to a potential move to another country.
Benzema, although still very attached to OL, the club of his life, is therefore unlikely to end his career there, having helped the Rhône-based side win four league ****** les before his departure for Real Madrid in 2009.
