George Clooney’s wife Amal, 48, proved mini dresses have no age limit in sheer heatwave look

George Clooney’s wife Amal, 48, proved mini dresses have no age limit in sheer heatwave look

Published by Daniella Wilson

Amal Clooney may not give too much thought to her fashion while she’s working on a case – the human rights barrister famously explained she was wearing Ede & Ravenscroft on her way into court in Strasbourg in 2015 – but she has developed a strong eye for style when she’s off-duty. One year after marrying Hollywood actor George Clooney, Amal was pictured enjoying a day out with her father Ramzi Alamuddin in the East Village.  Clutching onto her father’s hand, she wore an ethereal white mini dress with a sheer lace overlay and a drop waist – a style that wouldn’t look out of place in the storefronts in the summer of 2026. © GettyAmal Clooney was pictured in an ethereal mini dress for a day out with her father Ramzi Alamuddin in 2015 Dressing for the cooler May weather, she completed her look by layering a tan suede jacket over her shoulders and slipping white heeled sandals on her feet. As the UK endures its fifth heatwave of 2026, she certainly won’t need …

Keith McNally’s Son George Enters the Family Business With Faux In Tribeca

Keith McNally’s Son George Enters the Family Business With Faux In Tribeca

Published by Sam Flores

I feel like—so not cool,” George McNally says. We’re at a Chase Bank in Tribeca. Not the part with cobblestone streets, $20 million lofts, and boutiques that sell $500 Japanese denim jeans. The part east of West Broadway that bleeds into the grit of the Financial District, the skyscrapers so tall and the streets so narrow that sunlight doesn’t reach much at all. We’re standing under fluorescent lights in a room that smells of Lysol, near a teller behind plexiglass. No one would describe this as “cool.” The 23-year-old is hyperfocused on cool right now, because blocks away, he’s making a restaurant called Faux. Why Faux? “I don’t know,” he says, hitting his vape. “During the build-out, there’s a bunch of different elements in construction that are all like, faux this, faux that….” Faux, McNally’s soon-to-open restaurant, will feature a dining room serving South of France inspired cuisine as well as a downstairs lounge for later-night lingerers. He has a vision: an all-day restaurant serving food that’s South of France–ish, like the kind you’d get …

How Carole Middleton is quietly shaping Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ futures

How Carole Middleton is quietly shaping Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ futures

Published by Daniella Wilson

The trio joined their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, in the stands at Glasgow’s Ovo Hydro arena, where the siblings’ close bond was clear to see as they sat side by side to watch the sporting action. It was a rare informal public outing for the three young royals, who have most often been seen together at official events such as their grandfather the King’s coronation and Trooping the Colour, as well as Christmas Day at Sandringham and Easter at Windsor. It was the youngsters’ first public appearance in Scotland, where William and Kate are known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay. It was also the first time that Louis had attended a major sports event, and he didn’t disappoint royal fans who have become accustomed to his playful antics. The Prince, wearing a colourful bucket hat, appeared to be in his element as he watched the netball semi-final between Australia and Jamaica, smiling, pulling faces and covering his eyes when the tension perhaps became too much. The event also revealed the …

Sorry, Boy George. AI can’t even make bad art

Sorry, Boy George. AI can’t even make bad art

Published by Sam Flores

Writing something is a bit like polishing rocks. You start with an ugly hunk of something, a phrase or an idea you’ve tripped over. It rattles against the hard edges of your brain until it gets polished and smooth. Moving the rock through finer and finer grits is time-consuming, strenuous and not always rewarding. Sometimes, the lump becomes a slightly smaller and shinier lump, marginally less ugly than it was on the ground. But like exercise and tough conversations, the process is the point. You feel better for having gone through the ritual yourself. Boy George didn’t get the memo.  The former Culture Club frontman, whose voice adorned New Wave pop hits like “Karma Chameleon” and “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” in the 1980s, had artificial intelligence spew out an unfortunate reggae song last week that turned out to be a statement of support for Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza. “You say genocide, I say war,” the song, titled “We Will Dance Again,” starts, and the lyrics seem to revel in the ugliness …

George R.R. Martin says he’s fighting ‘sadness and depression’

George R.R. Martin says he’s fighting ‘sadness and depression’

Published by Sam Flores

George R.R. Martin says he fears “the worst may be yet to come” as he opened up about the personal challenges that ran parallel to a year of professional highs. The fantasy author, who created the world of HBO series “Game of Thrones,” said in a post published to his website on Monday that he has “battled sadness and depression” amid a “stressful” and “overwhelming” year of some exciting endeavors, “dreams coming true” and “nightmares.” In his blog post, his first since February, Martin wrote that he has lost friends — he did not provide names — and briefly mused on aging: “I turned seventy-seven last September, and I tell you, getting old is no fun.” “But there have been amazing times as well,” he continued, “I suppose that’s just life. Of course, I knew that.” Martin, who is writing his long-awaited book “The Winds of Winter,” said he has fallen behind on blog entries and intends to get readers up to speed, “but my posts are likely to [be] short and rushed.” The author …

Kate Middleton and Prince William Could Use a “Gentleman’s Agreement” to Protect Prince George at Eton

Kate Middleton and Prince William Could Use a “Gentleman’s Agreement” to Protect Prince George at Eton

Published by Sam Flores

The Waleses are about to begin a new chapter. Starting in September, Prince George, the oldest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, will start school at Eton College, one of the most prestigious schools in the United Kingdom. This exciting new era is sure to come with increased media attention. To protect the young prince’s privacy, his parents may well revive a strategy that proved particularly beneficial to them at the beginning of their own love story. The Prince and Princess of Wales are reportedly considering implementing a strict protocol to protect the privacy of their children, as well as that of their future partners. Their goal? To establish a “Gentleman’s Agreement”—a tacit understanding with the British press to limit any intrusion into their private lives. According to Simon Vigar, a former broadcaster and author specializing in the royal family, William and Kate could replicate the approach that had protected the early days of their romance at the University of St. Andrews. A royal truce with the press At the time, an informal agreement …

Prince William steps in over Prince George question at Commonwealth Games | Other | Sport

Published by Sam Flores

However, it was at Wales House, the central Team Wales hub, where the family sat down to speak with athletes about the Games, and presenter Jones’ question to the children prompted William to intervene. Princess Catherine revealed that five-time Olympic gold-medal cyclist Dame Laura Kenny, whom the family had just been introduced to, attempted to persuade her and her husband to try their hand at track cycling. She then disclosed her response was: “Be careful what you wish for, as they want to put us on a tandem bike in the velodrome.” Jones then asked all three of the children a question. “Would you like to see mum and dad on a tandem in the velodrome later?” he asked, with only George responding rather promptly: “No.” His son’s blunt reply prompted William to intervene and make a candid admission. He joked: “We embarrass you enough as it is.” Cycling wasn’t the only subject on the agenda during the visit to Wales House. The family also met with twin Welsh gymnasts Abigail and Emily Roper, who …

To most teenagers, no one is more embarrassing than their parents. And although Prince George was born to one of the country’s most influential couples, he too is no stranger to feeling mortified by his mother and father from time to time. The Prince and Princess of Wales resurfaced briefly from their annual summer break on Saturday for a family outing to the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
