Steve Jobs' daughter Eve set to marry an Olympian this week - Here's all you need to know
Eve Jobs, daughter of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, is scheduled to marry her Olympic gold-medalist fiancé Harry Charles this week in an extravagant wedding costing $6.7 million in the British countryside, according to a report by The New York Post. The guest list reportedly includes former vice president of the United States Kamala Harris and a performance by Elton John. Calling the 27-year-old model's wedding day 'a multi-million-pound fairytale," a person engaged in the preparations told the new agency that the elite event, planned by 'I do' and industry superstar Stanlee Gatti, was already 'turning rural Oxfordshire upside down.' The Sun reported that Kamala Harris, a close friend of matriarch Laurene Powell Jobs, will attend the ceremony along with figures such as Jessica Springsteen, Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders, and Princess Beatrice. 'The wedding is being planned like a military operation. The itinerary is scheduled so precisely, with guests starting to arrive all this week before the wedding celebrations begin on Thursday,' the reported quoted a person aware of the development. Eve's siblings, Reed (33) and Erin (29), are expected to attend the extravagant party. However, it remains unclear whether the bride's half-sister, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, will be present at the ceremony. Although details about Eve's wedding outfit have remained private so far, many speculate that the bride will choose a unique couture gown for the ceremony, the report said. The couple made their first public appearance together at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, during Charles's competition. After graduating from Stanford University, where her parents first met, Jobs walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week for luxury brands such as Coperni. Jobs is represented by DNA Model Management. Recently, she has appeared on the cover of Vogue Japan and starred in a prominent Louis Vuitton campaign. The 27-year-old travelled to Capri for an extravagant Italian bachelorette weekend with close friends, including Olympian Eileen Gu and other Stanford alumni last month. Charles' sister, Scarlett, and mother, Tara accompanied her.

Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby Join Gordon Ramsay To Make Sausage And Mash
Last Updated: Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby will be seen in Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby joined chef Gordon Ramsay for a cooking session on his popular YouTube show Scrambled. The actors, who are currently promoting their upcoming film Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps, teamed up with Ramsay to cook a classic British dish: Sausage and mash. As the episode kicked off, Ramsay jumped straight into chef mode. 'The secret of good sausage and mash?" he asked Pascal. The actor hesitated and replied, 'Are you going to quiz me?" Ramsay said yes, but Pascal playfully resisted, saying, 'Don't." The moment left Ramsay laughing. To save the duo from tears, Ramsay peeled the onions beforehand. 'So, there's no acid there. You will not be crying. I promise you," he assured them. But when it came to slicing, Pascal looked a bit unsure. 'I f****** hate knives," he admitted and also apologised for swearing. On the other side, Kirby was given sausage duty. She had to heat them in a separate pan with thyme sprigs for flavour. Pascal eventually took on the onions and sliced them before adding them to the pan. With salt, pepper, a bit of sugar and a dollop of butter, the mix was set to caramelise. Pascal's dramatic salt-sprinkling style (very Salt Bae, we must say) catches attention. As the ingredients cooked, Ramsay mentioned that Kirby started as a baker. She shared how it began in her basement and described it as a calming 'meditative" activity. In true Ramsay style, he poured in some brandy and a splash of wine. The conversation shifted to fellow actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach, whom they agreed was the best cook on set who always brought in 'epic" food and made morning coffee. Next came the veggie stock, which was added once the onions and thyme turned golden brown. Ramsay asked Kirby to prick the sausages with a fork to help the butter seep inside better. The final step was mashed potatoes with cream and butter to keep them soft. Though the task was assigned to Kirby, Pascal stepped in. 'This is the first time he's ever cooked in his life," Kirby playfully remarked. During the light-hearted chat, Kirby, who is pregnant, also spoke about her relationship with Premier Lacrosse League president Paul Rabil. When Ramsay asked if they had picked a name for the baby, Kirby replied, 'You simply can't." Ramsay agreed, saying, 'There are several names that can be pre-decided, but it is impossible to name it without seeing this beautiful person." Coming back to the dish, Pascal mashed the potatoes, slightly lumpy but done and plated the dish. The sausage went on top, followed by the rich onion gravy and a final touch of fried onions. As the episode wrapped up, Ramsay's wife, Tana Ramsay, came in for the final taste test. After trying both versions of the dish, she declared it a tie. Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to hit the big screens on July 25. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Childhood couture to diplomatic glamour: Inside late Queen Elizabeth II's fashion archive
Next year, Buckingham Palace is opening the doors to something truly special: a grand exhibition celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's iconic fashion moments, timed to mark 100 years since her birth. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Titled Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style, the exhibition will open at the King's Gallery in spring 2026 and if you're even a little bit interested in royal fashion, this is one not to miss. What makes this one stand out? For starters, it's being billed as the biggest and most detailed display of the late Queen's wardrobe ever seen, with more than 200 pieces pulled from her personal fashion archive. We're talking everything from tiaras and evening gowns to her signature headscarves and sensible shoes. There's a real journey here, from one of the earliest surviving pieces in her childhood wardrobe (a delicate silver lamé and tulle bridesmaid dress she wore at age eight in 1934) to the now-iconic Norman Hartnell wedding gown she wore in 1947. These outfits don't just mark royal milestones, they reflect nearly a century of British fashion history through the eyes of a monarch who understood the power of clothing. Alongside the statement looks, like coronation robes and glittering State Banquet gowns, visitors will also get a peek at the Queen's more personal, off-duty side. Think tailored riding jackets, tartan skirts, and the silk scarves she loved to tie around her head while walking the dogs or heading to Balmoral. Image credits: X What's particularly exciting is that many of these pieces have never been displayed before. And this time, it's not just the fashion that's on show. For the first time, we'll also get to see original sketches, fabric swatches, and handwritten letters by the Queen herself, giving us a behind-the-scenes look at how her wardrobe came together, often with her direct input. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Designers like Richard Quinn and Erdem have already acknowledged her influence in their collections in recent years. And with this rare glimpse into her fashion archive, her legacy is sure to inspire a whole new generation of British design. Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style will run from spring to autumn 2026. While the exact opening date is still under wraps, tickets go on sale this November. There'll also be an accompanying book, curated by Caroline de Guitaut, with essays from designers and commentators who've studied her style in depth. For royal watchers, fashion lovers, and anyone curious about how style can tell a story, this exhibition promises to be a landmark moment.
