Palais Royal Restaurant – Brussels, Belgium
Soothing elegance, yes? Yes. Little lamps on white linen tablecloths. Molding so ornate you could hang a coat on it. Ceilings high enough for a giraffe to frolic under. It’s THURSDAY, which calls for such things.
Remembering Grace Kelly: The Hollywood Oscar-winner who became Princess Grace of Monaco, one of the most stylish royals of all time
Grace Kelly, who was born this week in 1929, remains a towering presence on royal life – and fashion – almost 100 years on
Grace Kelly remains an icon, almost 100 years on from her birth in 1929. The star, later Princess Grace of Monaco, has become the perennial symbol of the Hollywood Golden era despite having given up her career as one of the industry’s leading ladies for love and becoming a princess.
Her legendary status remains unmatched and her influence is perpetual: she radiated poise, beauty and, yes, grace, in every photo.
Her fairytale engagement to Prince Ranier was announced at the Kelly Family Home in Philadelphia on January 5, 1956, followed by a press conference at the Philadelphia Country Club. The following day, Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly hosted a celebratory ball at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, which was attended by many members of New York high society.
Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair: Every Outrageous Costume, Ranked
If there’s one thing we can agree on about the Ryan Murphy series, it’s that the clothes are spectacular.
Let’s be frank: We’re not watching All’s Fair for the plot. We’re watching to obsess over the stunning costumes that deserve their own exhibition at The Met. From sweeping capes to statement hats, money was clearly no object for the Ryan Murphy legal drama, which has delivered Hulu Originals’ biggest scripted series premiere in three years.
Costume designer Paula Bradley, who has worked with Murphy on American Horror Story and Monster: The Ed Gein Story, oversaw the show’s wardrobe, alongside her assistant, Shannon Campbell, and together they created something so magnificent, it kind of doesn’t matter what’s playing out onscreen.
23 Of The Best Christmas Movies To Get You Into The Festive Spirit
Even if you’ve never been a fan of the peculiarly schmaltzy genre that is the Christmas film, this is 2025 – meaning that, after months of global crises, uncertainty, existential dread and political chaos, watching one of the best Christmas movies of all time while downing a vat of mulled wine might just be the best way to get into the festive spirit. Of course, you should start with the real classics, like the ’50s Hollywood adaptation of A Christmas Carol as well as It’s a Wonderful Life – but there are also a number of more contemporary releases to work your way through, from the Kristen Stewart-led charmer Happiest Season to Emilia Clarke’s rom-com with a twist, Last Christmas.
Katy Perry Has Opened Up About the Fear Around Releasing Her New Break Up Song
Katy Perry has been front and centre this week, releasing her highly-anticipated new single, bandaids.
The song, her first in over a year, is a break up anthem, following the ending of an engagement. And given the timing, with Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirming their split this summer, the release has gone particularly viral.
Princess Charlotte Is Key to Breaking This Historic Royal Family ‘Sibling Curse’
Princess Charlotte is set to break a centuries-old royal dilemma, according to experts. The young royal is often praised for her poise in public, and she regularly reminds her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, of royal etiquette; at the late Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022, Charlotte was spotted telling George when to bow, and she was also seen telling Louis off for dancing on the Buckingham Palace balcony last year.
However, she is also reported to be a strong and fearless member of the Wales family. During a public engagement in 2017 – when Charlotte was just 2 years old – Princess Catherine told those in attendance that she was already ‘the one in charge’ at home, and at school, her nickname was ‘Warrior Princess’.
Will AI Take My Job? For Many Women, It Already Has.
As AI takes over more routine tasks, women face both new opportunities and hidden risks in the workplace. How you respond now could shape your career.
“Job-seeking has never been the complete and utter silence I’m facing now,” writes Marissa Castrigno. Clearly, the sentiment – that AI and automation are turning job-hunting into even more of a hellscape – resonates: the LinkedIn post has racked up hundreds of likes and countless comments. Elsewhere, Google searches for “Will AI take my job” are up 212%, and there are 58.9 million posts under the TikTok search “People saying AI is gonna take my job.”
Castrigno’s argument is that we are in an automated employment loop in which AI is being used on both sides of the hiring process, resulting in a closed feedback cycle with scarily little human input that leaves us on the sidelines of a fully automated hiring charade. The theory tracks: in the UK, 61% of employers now use AI as part of their hiring process. What’s more, only 22% of AI and data professionals are women, raising concerns among hiring experts that women may be left behind in the AI boom. As Dr Ryne Sherman, chief science officer at employment performance tester Hogan Assessments puts it: “AI is rewriting the rules of work – but who’s holding the pen?”
10 best Korean moisturisers I’ve tested, approved by experts
Top K-beauty moisturiser picks for every skin type and concern.
Korean moisturisers are often regarded as the pinnacle of Korean skincare essentials, which is exactly why they’re all over your TikTok FYP. Known for their gentle yet effective nature, their ability to cocoon the skin in nourishing ingredients is unmatched. As is their ability to serve a dewy, glass skin glow that appears immediately after moisturiser application.
But how? And how are they different to Western formulations? Much of their allure lies in the buzzy ingredients found in them (think: centella asiatica, snail mucin, bakuchiol, rice water and ginseng) – which you’ve likely not tried in anything before. What’s more, these ingredients focus on the skin’s long-term health as opposed to quick-fix results.
6 winter pedicure colours that’ll knock your socks off
We’re loving festive champagne and pearly white for the season.
Whether it’s a holiday dinner party, a date night to see The Nutcracker, or a visit to Grandma’s house, these occasions call for looking your best from head — to toe. And a winter pedicure will help with the latter. Whether your feet stay nestled in socks or are warming bare by the fire, you’ll be filled with that much more joy with a fresh pedicure.
“Winter is a great opportunity to treat your feet,” says Sonya Belakhlef, a New York City-based nail artist, who adds that the cold months are the perfect time to try a pedicure colour that’s outside your comfort zone. “Since [your toes] won’t be on display much in the coming months, why not try a new exciting shade?”
30 Best Work Pants for Women That Are Stylish and Versatile
Shopping for work clothes might seem uninspiring, but don’t write off the best work pants as boring office attire. With elevated workwear trending across the runways, designers are leaning into polished, fashion-forward takes to make your 9-to-5 wardrobe a little more exciting. For those returning to the office for most of the week (or those who are just looking to revamp their current Monday-to-Friday edit), work pants with maximum functionality and versatility are the first order of business. Pick a silhouette you’ll go back to over and over, whether that’s a billowy wide leg, a simple straight leg, or a trendy slim fit.
Amy Schumer Rocks Optical Illusion Minidress While Sharing Why She Deleted Instagram Photos
The comedian directly responded to speculation about why she wiped her social media account.
Schumer took to Instagram to shut down a theory about why she deleted her photos, writing, “Hey media outlets I didn’t delete my old photos because they were pre me losing weight. That’s a narrative you have created. I’m proud of how I’ve looked always. I have been working it be pain free and I finally am.” Detailing her improvements with her endometriosis, her back pain, and her Cushing syndrome diagnoses, she added, “I am grateful to be strong and healthy, especially for my son.”
So You Want to Be a Professional Whiskey Taster? Here’s What It Really Takes
According to whiskey pros, start with these 6 real career paths.
Heather Greene resigned from her job a few months ago so she could devote herself to sampling whiskey full-time. The job she quit? CEO of Milam & Greene, a respected whiskey producer in Blanco, Texas.
“Being a CEO is much more about long-term strategy, P&Ls, hiring, firing, and a lot of PowerPoint and Excel,” says Greene, who simultaneously served as her distillery’s master blender. “It requires a skill set that I was good at. But as we scaled up, I wasn’t able to do justice to the whiskey making.”
So, she stepped back from juggling numbers to spend more time crafting blends with whiskey distilled in-house as well as spirits sourced from around the country. That means a lot of tasting to dial in body and nuance for each bottle.
Is It OK to Show My Baby’s Face Online?
In the heat of midsummer, while I was at the beach, a woman with a private Instagram account sent me a DM that made my brow furrow as deep as a slot machine.
She accused me of treating my newborn baby like an accessory—a satin clutch at dinner. Admittedly, in the picture the woman was referencing, the baby and I both looked fantastic, her pink-ginger complexion giving Ariel next to me, her Jamaican crab. With my boxers and the baby’s nappy, we looked like a Calvin Klein ad, if they made clothes for infants or cast slightly underweight, considerably under-slept dads-of-one. I just replied “Good one” to the woman and blocked her because I can be petty like that.
A Guide to Japanese Hair Straightening
We have come a long way in our search for straight hair. While the first straightener was invented in 1909, there were days of using an ironing board to smooth out the frizz, and now we have pretty much any tool and product under the sun promising sleeker strands whenever we want. But if you’re looking for a more permanent solution, a.k.a. a break from using a hot flat iron regularly, there’s one chemical treatment you can turn to: Japanese hair straightening.
Is the Swedish Concept of Lagom the Secret to Embracing Slow Travel?
Lagom is an idea rooted in balance. Roughly meaning “not too little, not too much, just the right amount,” it influences all aspects of Swedish culture and daily life, and is as quintessential as fika, ABBA, and smörgåstårta sandwich cake. The concept has played a crucial role in shaping Swedish culture—from how Swedes avoid burnout by embracing work-life balance to how they decorate their homes and embrace nature. In essence, it’s about finding contentment in moderation, avoiding extremes, and finding happiness in the middle ground—“an ethos that tries to reduce stress within your own control,” explains Lola Åkerström, an award-winning travel photographer and author of Lagom: Swedish Secret of Living Well.
Inside the Secret World of Hollywood’s Master Colorists
Once hidden in post-production suites, the artists who make movies and TV shows look the way they do are stepping into the light: “It’s a bit frustrating to see how they are not recognized as much as they should be.”
Nestled among the tourist-heavy streets of Soho in the heart of London — far from the bright city lights and cacophonous traffic — is a man in a dark, quiet room.
His name is Adam Glasman, a senior colorist at Goldcrest Films, a company renowned for its post-production facilities in the British capital. Glasman is demonstrating to The Hollywood Reporter his masterful command of the elaborate computer system set up in front of him. Hundreds of controls — faders, toggles, wheels — speckle his desk, attention focused on the two large screens above while his hands work away. There’s something DJ-esque about the scene. And it’s all muscle memory for Glasman, a prolific Hollywood colorist who has worked on hundreds of films.
The debut of a new nepo baby! Helena Bonham Carter’s lookalike daughter, Nell Burton, makes her first foray into modelling
Descended from political power players with filmmaking royalty, Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton, as parents, the future is bright for Nell Burton
Helena Bonham Carter played the Red Queen in Alice Through the Looking Glass, so perhaps it’s apt that the actress is the spitting image of her daughter, Nell Burton, who has just made her modelling debut in a regal campaign featuring some dazzling heirloom jewellery. Seventeen-year-old Nell, whose father is Bonham Carter’s ex-husband, the director Tim Burton, posed alongside her mother, 59, in a fashion shoot celebrating the 25th anniversary of the haute jewellery brand, Larkspur & Hawk, with the duo dripping in over £14,000 worth of bijouterie inspired by founder Emily Satloff.
Brittany Snow Is Not So Suddenly Everywhere
Brittany Snow is having a moment. The actor—who first broke out on American Dreams and went on to star in Hairspray, John Tucker Must Die, and the Pitch Perfect franchise—is suddenly everywhere. First came The Hunting Wives, the deliciously unhinged Netflix thriller that had everyone talking. Then Murdaugh: Death in the Family showed off her dramatic chops. Now, in Netflix’s The Beast in Me, she’s the elegant gallerist married to a wealthy real estate mogul (Matthew Rhys) who may or may not have murdered his first wife, a role that was expanded after the show’s writers couldn’t resist her. It’s an impressive run for an actor who’s been open about her struggles with depression and an eating disorder, and who’s since turned that recovery into her own creative fuel, even directing a film (Parachute) about it. One person who’s impressed but not surprised about Snow’s very big year is her The Beast in Me costar Claire Danes, who called her up last week to get into her headspace.
Dolly Parton gives emotional response to seeing actor play late husband in new musical: ‘Now he’ll always be here’
“His whole thing was he was famous for not being famous,” the country legend says. “But I think that he’d appreciate how I’ve presented our love.”
Dolly Parton says art is helping her mend her broken heart after she recently lost her husband, Carl Dean.
The legendary country singer said goodbye to her longtime partner when he died March 3 in Nashville at the age of 82.
The famously private couple were married for 58 years and rarely stepped out together in public, but fans will get a glimpse into their decades-long romance in the upcoming stage show Dolly: A True Original Musical. And for Parton, that particular aspect of the production has been crucial to her mourning process.

This Medieval Town Was Named France’s Favorite Village—and It’s One of the Most Beautiful Places in the Country
For cobblestone streets and timeless French charm, it’s hard to beat Saint-Antoine-l’Abbay.
Located South of Lyon in the Isère départment among the rolling peaks of the Chambaran mountains, is the little village of Saint-Antoine-l’Abbay. The commune is rich in French religious and cultural heritage, and a visit here truly feels as if you’re stepping back in time, with its charming cobbled pedestrian streets and centuries-old stone houses.
