Brigitte Macron's Bastille Day Outfit Features Bold Lines and Contemporary Flair
Brigitte Macron opted for a streamlined, contemporary style in a black and white coatdress for the annual Bastille Day celebrations and military parade in Paris on Monday. France's first lady joined her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron, for the annual commemorative holiday. For the special public occasion, Brigitte Macron wore a white coatdress with black lines added throughout and black buttons running down the front placket opposite a line of black. The black details on the coatdress included lining on the sharp collar, cuffs and at the waist, with outlined hip pockets featuring subtle black bows.

Her 2025 Bastille Day look offered a contrast to the attire she sported for the 2024 edition of the holiday. Macron's 2024 Bastille Day attire featured the French first lady taking a monochrome approach with a slight nod to the quiet luxury trend. Macron wore a beige dress with three-quarter-length sleeves and a coordinated coat to complete the ensemble. The year prior, for 2023 Bastille Day, Macron opted for another monochrome look, this time in a vibrant shade of yellow. France's first lady wore a sunshine yellow dress with a coordinated blazer designed with soft lapels for the outdoor summertime occasion. Prior to their Bastille Day celebrations in France, the Macrons were hosted by Queen Camilla and King Charles III of the United Kingdom for France's first state visit to the country in 17 years. Throughout their stay, Brigitte Macron wore designer pieces that paid homage to her home country, including a royal blue cape gown courtesy of French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton.

This Math Tutor Keeps Popping Up in Wes Anderson Films
Michael Maggart spends most days running the online tutoring company he founded after a decade working as a math teacher. But every now and then, his high school friend Wes Anderson, the director, contacts him out of the blue, summons him to a film set and sends him to wardrobe. There's Maggart playing a security guard in 'The Phoenician Scheme,' Anderson's latest film, which was released in May. Previously, he played a detective in Anderson's 2023 film, 'Asteroid City,' and a hotel concierge in Anderson's second feature film, 'Rushmore' (1998). His credits also include a series of AT&T commercials that Anderson directed, and Anderson's 2023 short film, 'The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.' Maggart, 55, who splits his time between Austin, Texas, and New York City, has no formal training or interest in pursuing a career in acting. He has no other acting credits and would never have appeared in movies at all if not for an old friend who happens to be a celebrated film director — one who likes him enough to put him on camera. For Maggart, this has meant hobnobbing, dining and running lines with A-list actors like Tom Hanks, Bill Murray and Benicio Del Toro. 'I do feel a little guilty sometimes because, for example, the scene in 'The Phoenician Scheme' that I have is three lines,' he said. 'And I'm sure that it would be quite a moment for the career of a young actor or any actor to get those three lines instead of me. But I only think of that briefly and then I just kind of enjoy it.' Maggart is not certain why Anderson keeps thinking of him for bit parts in his films. Anderson, 56, who did not respond to an interview request, described his old friend as a 'crucial collaborator' in a video message for an event in Houston celebrating the 25th anniversary of 'Rushmore.'

17 Celebrity Encounters That Turned Out To Be Wholesome
Redditors who have worked with or been around celebrities before were asked to share something we might not know about those Hollywood stars, and a lot of the experiences were truly so sweet. Chris Hemsworth André René Roussimoff (better known as André the Giant) Tom Hanks Tom Cruise André 3000 Ariana Grande Weird Al Michael Bublé "I played hockey with Michael Bublé. I expected a stuck-up rich dude who thought he was better than everyone. He wasn't. He was so genuinely kind. And it's not like he was putting on a show. It was just a bunch of people who mostly knew each other getting together to play hockey, so he had no reason to be anyone but himself.I ended up on his team for the game. We chatted on the bench after each shift. Super cool dude. Down to earth. We talked about his Christmas special, and that year [Justin] Bieber was on, and I asked about Bieber's low-riding pants, and Michael just said, 'Young kid, what can ya do?' But generally had good things to say about most memorable moment was when my buddy and him talked. My buddy is really good at hockey. Michael said, 'Here's the deal, I'll give you all the women you want and you give me your hockey skills.' Michael sucks at hockey but is super cool." —The original poster of this thread Adam Sandler Giancarlo Esposito "Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul) used to live in a town a little ways away from my hometown growing up. The people who owned his house before he did used to host a Bernese Mountain Dog meetup/parade thing, which my family would go to because we had a Berner at the time (this was circa 2003-2005). When Giancarlo bought the house, he kept it up and even had the event catered, and would hang out with all these random people and their dogs. We knew he was an actor who was on a bunch of TV shows, but he wasn't very well known at the time (again, about five years before Breaking Bad); we just knew him as a really nice dude who was way more okay with metric tons of dog shit on his lawn than most human beings. Years later, my mom and I binge-watched Breaking Bad, and she flipped out when she realized that Gus Fuckin' Fring had given her children cupcakes and complimented her dog." —anonymous Bryan Cranston Sandra Bullock Gary Sinise "I escorted Gary Sinise around for a day. He was the nicest guy. He stopped and talked to every soldier and would actively listen to them and get to know their stories. We chatted for a while in the vehicles as we were transported from training site to training site. I first saw him getting off his private plane, and he was carrying his own bags, which shocked me. You could run into him and never know he was a isn't another celebrity I respect more than Gary." —anonymous Prince Jack Black Kelly Clarkson Lastly, Matthew McConaughey Have you had a wholesome interaction with a celebrity?
