Demi Moore shocked fans when she swapped out her usual waist-length brunette locks for a chic bob on the Cannes red carpet, following a clean sweep of incredible looks at the iconic film festival. The 63-year-old attended the La Bola Negra premiere on Thursday alongside actress Penelope Cruz, who has a supporting role in the film. Demi turned heads as soon as she stepped on the red carpet, clad in a strapless electric blue dress with oversized ruffling around the hips and a dramatic train, courtesy of Self Portrait.  She accessorized with an eye-catching diamond necklace, yet the star of the show was her newly shortened hair, which was styled in curls that fell to her shoulders. It was a far cry from Demi’s famously lengthy, pin-straight locks, and proved that the mother of three was ready to change things up.  © WireImageDemi debuted her new hairstyle in Cannes Han Chong, the Founder and Creative Director of Self-Portrait, shared his vision for Demi’s bold blue gown in a statement. “Working on this special gown with Demi Moore for Cannes is …

The 72-year-old actor is showcasing his directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and marked the transition to the director’s chair by dressing as an old-school impresario. Travolta has been traversing various red carpets wearing a selection of jaunty berets (he had four in rotation: in black, navy blue, brown and cream) paired with thin, wire-framed spectacles and a dramatic dyed brunette beard. The images were quickly memed online, with comparisons ranging from a Guess Who? character to Ed Harris’s Christof in The Truman Show.

Zendaya 'Spent About Three Days Buried Up To Her Neck' For Dramatic Euphoria Stunt

Published by Sam Flores

Zendaya as Rue in Euphoria Euphoria creator Sam Levinson has heaped praise on Zendaya after she was really put through the ringer filming a stunt in the latest episode of the award-winning drama. Zendaya’s character Rue has been on quite the journey so far in Euphoria’s third season, descending even further into a criminal underworld as she works to pay off her mounting debts. In Monday’s instalment, Rue was kidnapped and dragged out to the desert, where she was buried up to the neck, in another nod to season three’s Western themes, before having dirt kicked in her face and being threatened with a croquet mallet by the crime boss Alamo. Sam explained in a new behind-the-scenes video: “It’s sort of an old Western trope, you know, ‘we’re gonna bury you up to your neck’. “It was a really complicated thing to pull off, because we wanted to shoot it practically – so it meant that we had to build some container with a box that Zendaya could duck under in the case of an …

Labour MPs are bracing themselves for a dramatic week in Westminster as calls grow for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign. (Alamy) 5 min read3 hr Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to step down following disastrous election results for Labour in Thursday’s local elections, but there are concerns among the party’s MPs around who would run in a leadership contest that is called too soon. By Sunday afternoon Labour had lost almost 1,500 council seats in Thursday’s local elections, suffering heavy losses across the UK with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party and Zack Polanski’s Green Party making significant gains in traditionally Labour areas.  Labour lost control of the Senedd in Wales for the first time since it was established in 1999 – with Welsh Labour First Minister Eluned Morgan losing her seat, and the party also took heavy losses at the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood.  Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the aftermath of the results said he would not “sugarcoat” what had happened – but said he was “not going to walk away” …

Tonight’s annual star-studded fundraiser for the museum’s Costume Institute is inspired by “Costume Art”, the Met’s blockbuster Spring exhibition, which examines how fashion and art have engaged with the human body throughout the ages. It explores depictions of the dressed body through a series of thematic body types: “the naked body,” “classic body,” “pregnant body” and “ageing body.” Guests have been instructed to “celebrate the countless depictions of the dressed body throughout art history” on the red carpet, and stylists have told us to expect plenty of naked dresses and subversive, sculptural silhouettes.
