Suddenly, winged liner is back in everyone’s make-up bag, blowouts have volume again, and blush is visible on purpose. Sabrina Carpenter has become the poster girl for it: all fluffy bangs, soft waves and bombshell energy that nods to Brigitte Bardot but never crosses into full costume.

When they tied the knot, “Posh and Becks” – as the UK tabloids dubbed them at the time – were both enjoying their first wave of success.

Unlike many famous people’s kids, however, she doesn’t seem to be following in her parents’ footsteps – though she did go viral once on TikTok for posting a video of her cooking one of her dad’s recipes, to which Gordon replied, comically: “Shame on you, Holly!” So, cooking skills might... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/people/celebrities/article/3232308/meet-gordon-ramsays-glamorous-daughter-holly-next-nepo-baby-watch-instagram-influencer-and-model?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/people/celebrities/article/3232308/meet-gordon-ramsays-glamorous-daughter-holly-next-nepo-baby-watch-instagram-influencer-and-model?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 27 Aug 2023 20:00:13 +0000 When Catherine Rénier joined watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre as CEO in 2018 from jeweller Van Cleef & Arpels, she felt that the watchmaking world was a bit intimidating. The luxury industry veteran set out to change that obsolete attitude at the storied Swiss maison.

An impressive Hollywood A-list voice cast and a script filled with nods to the video game series adds to the appeal, although by about the hour mark, you might well feel this is just one long chase movie.

Although her US$12.5 million payday for her role in Barbie is considered a decent figure by industry standards and was the same amount as her co-star Ryan Gosling, it still showed an undeniably stark contrast to Tom Cruise’s US$100 million bill for Top Gun: Maverick.

Fittingly, this hyperbolic life-or-death trope is now the premise of The Menu, a new horror-comedy film starring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult, the delicious trailer for which dropped on June 1.

The Northman, a US$70 million Viking movie, will probably further his reputation as an ambitious filmmaker keen to get his vision on the screen whatever the cost. A full-blooded tale of retribution, this will appeal to all those who sat through Gladiator and marvelled at Russell Crowe’s heroic bloodletting.

It’s hardly a stretch to say there is somewhat of an incestuous relationship between fashion and television – but which serves which and are they in it solely for the purposes of advertising? Market research shows, for instance, that the daring balconette necklines seen on the women in Netflix’s period drama Bridgerton pumped up sales figures for brands with such a design.

The latest James Bond adventure has been in Hollywood’s on-deck circle for a year and a half, waiting out the pandemic that just doesn’t want to go away. Billie Eilish’s theme song for the film, released way back in February 2020, has already picked up a Grammy, and with any luck the film from which it comes will hold onto its planned October 8 release in the US and will finally hit screens.

Netflix has transformed the TV landscape since creating its first original show in 2012, but had never won any top series prize before Sunday’s ceremony – the small-screen equivalent of the Oscars.

The 80-year old Soviet chess icon, a hero in her native South Caucasus Republic of Georgia, was described in the show’s last episode as a female champion who had “never faced men”.

The Shaun of the Dead director finds himself among the neon-drenched lights of London’s Square Mile, where showgirls and call girls mingled with gangsters and policemen in the Swinging Sixties.

Sistine, Sophia and Scarlet might have once been known as the little girls with the action hero dad – famous for the Rocky and Rambo franchises – but they have since grown into fabulous young women.

Crowe, a New Zealand-Australian who won an Oscar for Gladiator, happens to live nearby, which is certainly handy. That is not the main reason for the location though.

Rather than having a signature product, the jeweller has relied on its trademark colour for its brand identity.

One that shows no sign of wavering is experiments with various shades of hair colour.

What also never fades is the everlasting charm of jewels.

And for celebrity couples – like Angelababy and Huang Xiaoming, Yang Mi and Lau Hoi-wai, Liu Shishi and Nicky Wu Qilong, and Hu Jing who married Malaysian billionaire Frank Choo – a wedding can take extravagance to the next level.
