Gemma Chan continues to impress on the Josephine press tour, with two Burberry looks that couldn't be more different.

Gemma's Burberry Spring 2027 floral silk taffeta dress almost felt like a take on the label's signature trench coat.
Between the epaulettes, belted waist and ******* on-front design, the trench coat references were unmistakable, but the delicate floral embroidery and softly gathered neckline gave the familiar silhouette a dressier feel.
I particularly like how Gemma rolled up the sleeves and opted for ivory pointed-toe pumps, which worked beautifully with the soft grey tone of the dress. This was a charming daytime look.

Britain's Gemma Stevens won the Burghley Horse Trials for the first time on Sunday, the biggest victory of her career on her 31st attempt at five-star level.
The 41-year-old Olympian, riding Chilli Knight, cemented victory in executing a faultless showjumping round to finish on her dressage score of 29.6 - the only rider in the field to do so.
Compatriot Katie Magee finished second on Treworra, with USA's Caroline Pamukcu and HSH Blake in third.
"It's only taken me 25 years and finally I've managed to win a big B [Burghley or Badminton]. I couldn't be more proud," Stevens said.
Stevens, who first competed at the level in 2007, previously rode Chilli Knight's mother, King's Gem.

Success stories rarely follow a straight path, and several of today's biggest stars once imagined futures in courtrooms rather than on movie sets or concert stages. Before becoming household names, many pursued law degrees, legal training, or seriously considered careers in the legal profession. Their journeys demonstrate that education can open many doors, but passion often leads people in unexpected directions. By choosing careers in entertainment instead of law, these celebrities reshaped not only their own lives but also the industries they entered.
Gemma Chan came remarkably close to becoming a corporate lawyer after studying law at the University of Oxford and securing a prestigious training contract with the renowned London law firm Slaughter and May. Instead, she chose drama school, a decision that eventually led to acclaimed performances in films such as Crazy Rich Asians and Eternals. Similarly, Gerard Butler earned a law degree from the University of Glasgow and worked as a trainee lawyer before deciding that acting was his true calling. Leaving the legal profession proved to be a defining moment, launching him into a successful career that includes blockbuster films such as the Has Fallen series.
Several other stars also balanced legal ambitions with creative dreams before making life-changing decisions. Kim Kardashian pursued California's legal apprenticeship program, inspired by her father, attorney Robert Kardashian, while becoming an outspoken advocate for criminal justice reform. Rebel Wilson completed a double degree in law and arts before comedy ultimately won her over, later explaining that her legal education sharpened her ability to **** yze characters and human behavior. John Legend also considered attending law school after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, but instead followed his passion for music, eventually becoming one of the few entertainers to achieve the prestigious EGOT, winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award.
Another notable example is Matthew McConaughey, who originally planned to become a criminal defense lawyer while studying at the University of Texas. Shortly before applying to law school, he reevaluated his goals, switched to film studies, and embarked on the acting career that would eventually earn him an Academy Award. Although each of these celebrities followed a different path, their stories share a common message: career plans are not set in stone. Whether they completed legal studies or simply explored the profession, they proved that success often comes from having the courage to pursue what truly inspires you, even when it means leaving a promising career behind.

Gary Numan and his wife Gemma O'Neil have a bit of an unconventional love story.
Numan reflected on their nearly 30-year romance in an interview with London's The Times on Wednesday, June 24, where he joked that their love affair might be seen as "illegal now."
The Sharpe & Numan frontman first met O'Neill at a fan event in 1980, when he was 22 and she was just 12. Their paths wouldn't cross again for another six years, this time when O'Neill was 18, after posing for a photo with the young fan. While he didn't know her name then, Numan said that changed in 1988 when he signed an autograph for her and already knew to make it out to "Gemma."
The pair's bond deepened as she continued to attend his concerts, with what started as a fan-singer relationship blossoming into a friendship, and eventually, a full-on love affair.
"That's how I attracted her, which I think is illegal now," Numan told the outlet.

Gary Numan opened up about how his wife of nearly 30 years was originally a fan.
The two first met when she was 12 and he was 22, but got to know each other better after she turned 18.
How they went from friends to spouses "I think is illegal now," the "Cars" singer said.

Wales will have to beat Albania and then either Romania or Norway in successive two-legged play-off ties if they are to reach the 2027 Women's World Cup.
Rhian Wilkinson's side were in the same group as Albania in their qualifying campaign - winning 4-0 in Wrexham and 1-0 away from home.
Wales, who topped League B Group 1 ahead of the Czech Republic, will be away in the first leg of round one before hosting the Albanians - who finished third in the group - in the second leg.
Should they win that tie on aggregate, Wales will then play the winners of the match between Romania and Norway, who are managed by former Wales boss Gemma Grainger.
Wilkinson's side will be away from home in the second leg should they make it through to round two.

Charity shops are facing closures as soaring wage bills, higher energy costs and evolving shopping habits put growing pressure on the high street.
Major charities including the British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK have announced plans to shut hundreds of stores, while smaller organisations warn the financial strain is becoming unsustainable.
Gemma Turner, from homelessness charity Alongside, described the situation as "absolutely terrifying", saying rising costs could directly affect the support charities are able to provide.
"Charity shops can't capture the full effect of changing shopping habits," said Bristol-based retail expert Susannah Streeter.
Alongside, formerly Julian House, which supports homeless people in Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, said it is leaving some vacant roles unfilled to reduce costs.
