Amy Huberman dazzles in Irish design at Wimbledon
Stars like Laura Whitmore, Angela Scanlon, Cate Blanchett and Olivia Rodrigo already wowed onlookers with their summery court-side outfits. However, one Irish star made sure to rep our home grown designers while at the tournament.
Amy Huberman stepped out with husband Brian O'Driscoll over the weekend for a day at the tennis, enjoying the sixth day of festivities at the famous tournament.
Huberman, who is as known for her bold and stylish fashion sense as she is for her turns on TV, brought summery florals to the event despite the overcast skies. The Irishwoman made sure to wear Irish, stepping out in a vibrant dress by the Irish brand FéRí.
FéRí is a slow fashion brand founded by Faye Anna Rochford that draws inspiration from Rochford's love of vintage clothing. The team use organic materials or deadstock and repurposed fabrics in their pieces and Rochford hand-paints and draws the patterns herself.
Speaking to RTÉ Lifestyle last year, Rochford explained how the slow nature of her designs creates even more unique pieces:
"I really paint from the heart, it's really organic and I suppose what I focus on the most is colour and how it looks overall as an abstract floral drawing. So in that sense, there's of course imperfections; it's organic. But I love that and when I create digital or repeat prints I can see that throughout the pattern and sometimes I will know that bit was a mistake or ... It just makes each piece more unique."
Huberman chose the Alex dress, a bohemian-inspired chiffon gown covered in pink, purple and yellow florals, with ruffles at the cuffs and hem, structured shoulders and a silky lilac slip underneath.
She paired it with a gold handbag, pale pink sunglasses and gold platform heels.
O'Driscoll, meanwhile, looked dapper in a soft grey suit with a navy polka dot tie and a white shirt.

Hollywood A-lister lined up to play Sinead O'Connor in new film about her life – & she's ‘spitting image' of Irish star
NATALIE Portman tops the list of actresses in the frame to play Sinéad O'Connor in a film about her life. Three Irish film companies have teamed up to produce a biopic about Sinéad, who died aged 56 in 2023. 3 Natalie Portman is the frontrunner to play Sinéad O'Connor in a film about her life Credit: Getty 3 Natalie was the 'spitting image' of Sinéad in her 2005 film V For Vendetta Credit: Warner Bros 3 Three Irish film companies have teamed up to produce a biopic about Sinéad, pictured, who died aged 56 in 2023 Credit: Getty Insiders said Natalie, 44, was being lined up for the role. A source said: 'Natalie is the actress the filmmakers want to play Sinéad. 'They think she is the spit of Sinéad in terms of her physicality but as an actress, they know she has the strength and power to do justice to Sinéad.' Natalie previously shaved her head for the 2005 film, V For Vendetta. A source added: 'She is the spitting image of Sinéad in that film. 'It's uncanny. 'Natalie really is a triple threat – she can morph into characters, dance and sing – and is a true perfectionist. 'She would be a great signing for this.' Sinéad's biopic is being directed by Josephine Decker, who made a film about horror writer Shirley Jackson, starring Elisabeth Moss, in 2020. The writer will be by Stacey Gregg, whose TV credits include the series Mary And George, Little Birds and The Letter For The King. 'I cried my eyes out for a fortnight' - emotional Sinead O'Connor's dad tells of losing his singer daughter and life without the star Production companies behind the project include See-Saw Films – who were behind The King's Speech, Shame, The Power of the Dog and Slow Horses – as well as Nine Daughters and ie:entertainment, which was an executive producer on Nothing Compares. Sinéad is still best remembered for her 1990 hit Nothing Compares 2 U, which was accompanied by a music video in which she sported a shaved head and shed a tear over the memory of her dead mother. Her career was defined by controversial moments due to her strong and outspoken views, along with her conversion to Islam in 2018. Sinéad once ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II during a performance on US show Saturday Night Live. Looking directly into the camera after singing Bob Marley's War, Sinead said 'fight the real enemy' - said to be a protest against the Catholic church. The stunt saw her banned for life by US broadcaster NBC. Days later, Sinéad took part in Bob Dylan's 30th anniversary tribute concert at Madison Square Garden and was booed But Sinéad stood by the protest, saying in an interview with the New York Times in 2021: 'I'm not sorry I did it. It was brilliant.' She also spoke out on racism, human rights, women's rights, child abuse and organised religion - namely the Catholic Church in her home country. Our source added: 'This film about Sinéad is going to be as unflinching and brutal as most of her life was – and Natalie is a dab hand at dark portrayals on camera.'

Colin Farrell dazzles as troubled gambler in vibrant trailer
Colin Farrell is once again demonstrating his outrageous talent in a new Netflix thriller. The Irish actor portrays a troubled gambler in the movie 'Ballad of a Small Player', starring alongside Tilda Swinton and Fala Chen. The first trailer for the Netflix film released on Tuesday and fans are already getting excited. Colin Farrell in 'Ballad of a Small Player'. Pic: Netflix A short synopsis reads: 'When his past and his debts start to catch up with him, a high-stakes gambler laying low in Macau encounters a kindred spirit who might just hold the key to his salvation.' Judging by the trailer alone, Colin looks set to give a very memorable performance. The trailer is full of vibrant colours and flicks back and forth between the gambler in casinos and the aftermath of what looks like increasing debts. Colin sits shamefully in the shower, smashes a table in anger, plunges into a swimming pool and screams in anguish but continues to head back to the casinos every night. The film follows a deeply troubled gambler in Macau. Pic: Netflix An old woman sitting across the blackjack table tells him: 'You're running out of puff.' Colin replies: 'I may be out of puff but I still have my balls.' The film is releasing in select Irish cinemas on Friday 17 October, but will be fully released on Netflix on October 29. It is directed by Edward Berger, who is best known for his award-winning films 'All Quiet on the Western Front' and 'Conclave'. Fans have given their early reactions to the trailer, and anticipation is firmly building across social media. Colin looks set for a seriously memorable performance. Pic: Netflix One fan wrote: 'Ok this is my new most anticipated film after Marty Supreme.' Another commented: 'Passionate lead performance + GORGEOUS visuals + gambling… this looks a movie designed in a lab for me to love.' A third added: 'This just ZOOMED up my list of most anticipated movies for the rest of the year.' Yet another shared: 'What a wonderful union, Berger and Farrell together is already a big deal! This plus of Tilda Swinton only makes it better.' This could be Colin's best chance at a Best Actor Oscar yet, with his only nomination coming in 2023 for his performance in 'The Banshees of Inisherin'. A high roller on a slippery slope. BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER stars Colin Farrell, Fala Chen and Tilda Swinton. Directed by Edward Berger, (Conclave, All Quiet on the Western Front). In select theaters October 15 and on Netflix October 29.
