Dolce & Gabbana embrace wrinkled romance for spring-summer 2026
Dolce & Gabbana beckoned the warm weather with crumpled, take-me-anywhere comfort in their menswear collection for spring-summer 2026, previewed during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday.
The show opened and closed with a relaxed pajama silhouette — deliberately rumpled and effortless — in a clash of stripes, with both shorts and long trousers.
The Beethoven soundtrack belied designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's more deliberate intent, underscoring the designers' structured approach to soft tailoring.
A broad shoulder double-breasted suit jacket and tie worn with pink pinstriped PJ pants encapsulated the classic summer dilemma: work vs. pleasure.
Raw knitwear, or furry overcoats, added texture. Boxers peeked out of waistbands, and big shirt cuffs out of jacket sleeves, challenging formal and casual codes.
Nothing was cleaner on the runway than a crisp striped pajama top in sky-blue and white stripes tucked into white leather Bermuda shorts — good for work and for play.
The designers' finale featured pajama suits, shorts and pants, with beaded floral patterned embroidery for an evening seaside shimmer, worn with fuzzy sliders. Twin cameo brooches gave an antique accent.
The crowd outside got to share in the fun when the finale models took the looks onto the streets, taking a full lap outside the designers' Metropol theater. Front-row guests included actors Zane Phillips, Theo James, Lucien Laviscount and Michele Morrone.

28 Years Later — it's like a zombie movie made by Ken Loach
It can't be — can it — after all this time? Nostalgic pop-culture references to the old Tango adverts and the Teletubbies. Fancy freeze-frames and lickety-split editing. A banging mixtape of ambient house on the soundtrack so that even when the characters are battling for their life against zombies the audience feel like they are tying one on at the Haçienda on a Saturday night with their mates. It has to be … yes, it's a Danny Boyle film. Last seen directing Yesterday in 2019, Boyle returns to screens this week with 28 Years Later, an unusually thoughtful sequel to his 2002 classic 28 Days Later, which shows much has changed since the zombie apocalypse — sorry, Rage Virus — was first loosed on the world. England is now cut off from the rest of Europe and a small group of the uninfected are holed up on an island. It's a community that defends itself with homemade bows and arrows and has returned to the values of the 1950s including waving St George's flags. Boyle splices their defence of the fortified causeway that leads to the mainland with snatches of footage from the Battle of Agincourt in Laurence Olivier's 1944 film Henry V. We seem to be in one of those remote Hebridean communities beloved of old folk-horror films where villagers worship pagan gods, copulate in the fields and cure sore throats with toads. If George A Romero's zombie movies in the Seventies set themselves up as allegories of mass-market consumerism, Boyle's seem to be about the Little Englander belligerence that fuelled Brexit. These zombies don't want to eat our brains, just our unbendy cucumbers. • Danny Boyle: Road rage, Brexit — and why I'm returning to 28 Days Later Tutoring his son, Spike (Alfie Williams), in the ways of the postapocalyptic patriarchy is Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), whose sick wife, Isla (Jodie Comer), languishes in the bedroom upstairs. He takes his son on his first trip to the mainland to hunt for zombies, a blood sport-cum-rite of passage for the island's young men. 'The more you kill the easier it gets,' Jamie tells him, but there's a new breed of 'alpha zombie': big, naked brutes who run like the clappers, willies bouncing, who seem to represent all the coarse male energies at large in this postapocalyptic world. The screenwriter Alex Garland has bigger issues in his sights than just zombies. After Spike cottons on to his father's lies and escapes to the mainland with his mother in the hope of finding a cure for what ails her, the film downshifts into an odyssey that owes as much to Garland's Civil War last year as to the original 2002 Boyle film. The mother and son's journey is punctuated by images of societal breakdown — an abandoned Happy Eater roadside café, a rusting train carriage, a compound of human bones ruled by a bald, blood-and-mud-encrusted doctor (Ralph Fiennes) who raves about the 'magic of the placenta' in the crackpot fashion of Colonel Kurtz. • The best films of 2025 so far Garland's copy of Heart of Darkness must be well thumbed. Joseph Conrad's novella provided much of the thematic superstructure of The Beach as well. Do the slim fillets of action justify the weightier themes that are hung on them? He and Boyle are trying to make a wider statement about societal collapse — it's like a zombie movie made by Ken Loach. But what will gamers make of the gentle, ruminative climax? My guess is a slight but unshakeable feeling of bamboozlement. Boyle adds a bloody coda of zombie slaughter, freeze-framing on every arterial spray and brain splatter, just to be on the safe side. ★★★☆☆15, 115min Disney Pixar hits most of its marks, but not all. Elio is about an orphaned 11-year-old, Elio Solis (Yonas Kibreab), now in the care of his aunt (Zoe Saldaña), who channels his loneliness and longing into the sky. Sending messages using a ham radio and a colander for aliens to come and beam him up, he is one day granted that wish by a benevolent collective of alien races known as the Communiverse, who are facing down a threat from a warlord called Lord Grigon (Brad Garrett), who looks like a crab crossed with a Swiss army knife with plasma cannon for limbs. Anyone recalling the showdowns between Donald Trump and the United Nations would not be far off. • Read more film reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews The film gives kids a framework to understand the world's strong men — beneath his military-grade exoskeleton, Lord Grigon turns out to be a soft, caterpillar-like sweetheart — but suffers from the Pixar blight of too many bright ideas, an excess of benevolence and a story that doesn't know which lane to pick. We're almost 50 minutes into the film before we meet Grigon's pudgy, pacifist son, Glordon, whose friendship with Elio should have been the emotional core of the film. But they have to wait their turn in a plot set on heartwarming reconciliations for everyone — Elio and his aunt, Glordon and his dad, Grigon and the Communiverse. These things were so much simpler in ET's day. In this film, everyone has a heart light. ★★★☆☆PG, 99min Times+ members can enjoy two-for-one cinema tickets at Everyman each Wednesday.

Love Island fans work out Harry's ‘real plan' after Helena is stunned to learn he kissed bombshell Yasmin three times
LOVE Island viewers believe they have worked out Harry's 'real plan' after he snogged Yasmin three times behind Helena's back. Helena was fuming to learn what had happened during last night's challenge, and wasted no time calling it quits with the footballer. 6 6 6 But now fans of the show reckon that Harry didn't lock lips with Yasmin because he wants to be with the brunette bombshell, but more because he wanted Helena to end their coupling as he has his sights set on Shakira. Speaking on reddit, one show devotee wrote: "Let's be honest, Harry never got over what he thought about Helena's lifestyle. Instead of ending it directly he wanted her to do it because he wanted to save face when he realised she heard what he said. They continued: "Let me be frank, When a boy thinks that about any girl they are never going to take them seriously. That is why he started messing around with Yasmin while still coupled up with Helena." And the theorist added that they believe he is playing the game to eventually work his way back to Shakira. They said: "Now that Shakira's in the picture, he's made it obvious that she's his priority but she was in the situation with Ben. Yasmin's basically been sidelined, and it's clear she was just a backup plan to keep him in the villa. "If Helena's lifestyle was an issue for him, Yasmin's boldness probably is too, he just hasn't vocalised it. He's playing the long game and was using people to buy time to get onto Shakira or the next bombshell." There certainly appeared to be something in this fan's intuition after Harry's behaviour in last night's episode. After his kisses with Yasmin were exposed, Helena ended things and he wasn't seen talking to Yasmin again. He did, however, make a beeline for Shakira, who called time on her time with Ben last night. "I wanted to see how you were feeling because I think initially you were number one for me and I kind of f***ed it," he said. Love Island first look: Are Harry and Shakira back on the cards? "It's not even like the pickle I have got in with Helena. I just don't think I would do the things I do if it was you because I know you wouldn't stand for it, Shakira then replied: "It was you and it still is you but it's your behaviour for me that I can't tolerate. "Obviously it's not with me, which is fair, but if you ever did treat me like that, it would just be a f****** waste of time because I would never stand for it, ever." Harry went on to say: "It would be different if we were coupled up and I was getting to know people, I wouldnt have done it. 6 6 6 "I have got away with so much with Helena already, I can just keep getting away with it, kind of thing." In the same reddit post, other fans agreed he likes Shakira but warned he will have eyes for lots of the Casa Amor beauties. One said: "Please, he'll be cracking on in Casa Amor. He likes Shakira for sure but not enough to stop him being a bit of a man s**g lol." A second agreed, chiming in: "If he's like this now I can't imagine casa." Meanwhile a third weighed in, with more words of warning for Shakira. "He wants Shakira, but he only wants her because she's the one who pied him at the beginning and he wants to prove he can get her," they said. "If she thinks he will treat her differently, she is in for a shock."

James Argent parties with TOWIE pals at Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet's wedding after ex Nicoline Arthursson broke her silence on assault amid his suspended jail sentence
James Argent was all smiles as he celebrated the wedding of Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet - just weeks after his ex Nicoline Arthursson broke her silence following his suspended jail sentence. The former TOWIE star, 37, was recently handed a suspended sentence and ordered to attend a domestic violence course after pleading guilty to 'mistreatment' for pushing Nicoline down a flight of steps at their home in Spain. But despite Nicoline's powerful statement addressing the incident, James seemed unfazed as he posted a series of joyful snaps from his pals lavish ceremony on Saturday, showing him partying the night away. Dressed in an all-white ensemble paired with a baby blue dinner jacket, the reality star beamed as he posed alongside Georgia and groom Tommy. He also posted snaps with pro boxer Conor Benn, and his former TOWIE co-stars Chloe Lewis and Dan Edgar. James captioned the snaps: 'My Best Friend's Wedding Congratulations to @georgiakousoulou and @iamtommyfordham.' He continued: 'I'll never forget us all being in Ibiza over 10 years ago, When you first got together. I knew back then you were destined for each other. You've stuck by each other's side through thick & thin. 'Tommy always said I would sing at their wedding one day & it happened. I had so much fun being your Master Of Ceremonies too, You've both always supported me. 'I can't wait to make many more memories together as we get older, I love you both so much.' Just hours earlier Georgia took to her Instagram page to share the jovial news with her followers, posting two stunning photographs from their big day. The couple tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony in the picture-perfect destination on Friday, June 20 - which also happened to be Georgia's 34th birthday in a special touch. It is the second time they have said 'I do' as they officially got married in a low-key ceremony in December 2023, before celebrating again in a larger, destination wedding this week. For the nuptials, Georgia stunned in a gorgeous white lace gown with a thigh-high side split, which she styled with strapped stiletto heels. She fixed a dramatic train in her golden tresses as she cuddled up to Tommy, 33, who cut a dapper figure in a beige suit. Alongside the post, James gushed over Georgia and Tommy's love story The couple were joined by their young children, Brody, four, and Gigi, seven months as well as their friends and family, including Chloe Ross, Sam Mucklow and Danielle Armstrong. In a caption, Georgia gushed over her 'dream wedding' after almost two years of waiting for their big day after their first nuptials. She also teased that fans would soon be able to watch the entire ceremony as they plan to share a video of the day. She gushed: '20.06.2025. Our Dream wedding finally happened. Best day of our lives. Surrounded by so much love. 'Can not wait to get all of our pictures & videos back to show you how incredible it was & you'll be able to watch it all.' Video footage shared by Nathan Massey showed Georgia and Tommy appearing happier than ever as they energetically danced the night away at the reception. Other wedding guests including Shelby Tribble took to Instagram to share photographs from the special day as they gave an insight into the party. Shelby shared a gorgeous snap of her posing alongside bride Georgia as well as photographs of her posing with her partner Sam Mucklow. She looked as glamorous as ever in a frilled blue dress while Sam looked suave in a sand suit as they soaked up the sun on the big day. Shelby also posted photographs of the extravagant dinner table at the outdoor reception, which was complete with pink bouquets of flowers and chandeliers. The newlyweds certainly pulled out all the stops for the special day and also provided guests with small bottles reading: 'We've tied the knot so take a shot!' Cara De La Hoyde also posted a sweet video of herself and her husband Nathan Massey cuddling up to one another as they celebrated their friends' union. For the day, Cara cut a glamorous figure in a show-stopping yellow sequin gown with a plunging back design, while Nathan looked suave in a grey suit. Taking to Instagram, she penned in a caption: 'The most beautiful day to celebrate the most beautiful couple. ThankYou & for letting us be part of it.' They were inundated with congratulatory messages from their delighted friends and fans. Jess Wright wrote: 'Congratulations guys absolutely gorgeous,' while Danielle Armstrong gushed: 'Literally the best wedding EVER!!! Love you guys congratulations. Round 2 later.' Sam Mucklow said: 'Amazing day,' and Amelia Murs added: 'Congratulations.' Ella Rae Wise commented: 'You look beautiful. Congratulations to you both.. I wish you both health, wealth & happiness.' Billie Shepherd shared: 'Huge congratulations, you look beautiful, lots of love,' as newlywed Dani Dyer gushed: 'So beautiful and perfect!! Congratulations.' Georgia previously kept the location of her much-anticipated destination wedding a secret, teasing: 'Everyone already knows it's in Majorca, but I won't reveal exactly where, I want it to be a surprise! 'I want everyone to be like: "Oh, my God!" when they see it. I'm about to up the game. I just hope everyone loves it'.' Georgia stressed that the wedding was very much the product of her own imagination and her husband had minimal involvement. She told OK!: 'I ask him for his opinions, but honestly, I don't want him to get involved. It's my thing. I want him to be shocked, like, "Wow, this is amazing!"'. The couple's first official wedding in December 2023 was a much more low-key affair and ended with a humble Chinese takeaway. Georgia told The Sun about the nuptials at the time: 'We came back to mine and had a Chinese. It was unreal. It is so me and Tommy. 'I literally got back, got my PJs on straight away and we had a Chinese. 'The best bit about it was that we hired tables. So we had a top table…And we all just stuffed our faces with Chinese … it was actually brilliant. So good.' Ahead of her second wedding, Georgia enjoyed a wild, fun-filled hen party in Ibiza at Wayne Lineker's O Club. The star poked fun at the end of her single days by having her and her girlfriends dress in black. The star was joined by longtime pals including Amber Dowding and Lydia Bright as they got into the partying spirit at the celebrity hotspot. The happy couple's romance first blossomed in 2014 when Tommy became a TOWIE cast member. Georgia and Tommy met a few months before filming TOWIE at the gym, with Tommy experiencing an instant attraction to his now wife. After going from strength to strength over the next six years, they revealed they were expecting their first child in December 2020. Tommy wrote at the time that his life felt 'complete' and they went on to welcome a son, Brody Fordham, in May 2021. Then, in 2022, Tommy finally popped the question in Mexico, preparing a lavish beach surprise with rose petals and candles. The couple, who famously enjoyed an early date at a pie and mash shop, announced that they were engaged in February of that year before making it official the following December. Their family then grew to four when they welcomed their second child, a baby girl, Gigi Fordham, in November 2024. Gigi's birth came after they bravely opened up about experiencing a miscarriage and undergoing IVF as they attempted to grow their family.
