After turning heads with her stylish debut at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Alia Bhatt jetted off to Spain to attend the wedding of her best friend Tanya Saha Gupta and David Angelov.
A video from the wedding has been going viral, where the Raazi actress can be seen dressed in a colourful kalidar lehenga paired with a mustard yellow blouse. To give it a fun, boho-chic feel, Bhatt added a purple bandanna and dark sunglasses.
The actress can be seen all smiles as she poses with the newlyweds and her close friends. Actor Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, also a close friend of Bhatt, was spotted in the video wearing a purple lehenga.
Bhatt, who made her debut at the Cannes Film Festival this year, left fans speechless with her outfit choices on the red carpet. For day one of her appearance, Bhatt chose a Schiaparelli gown, styled by Rhea Kapoor. For the closing ceremony, the actress wore a custom Gucci saree--the brand's first-ever made-to-order saree--leaving fashion watchers impressed.

French Open: Djokovic sees off Moutet to reach last 32
Novak Djokovic extended his perfect record against French players at Roland Garros with a 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (7/1) win over Corentin Moutet to reach the third round on Thursday. Moutet pushed the 38-year-old, who shares the Slam record with Australia's Margaret Court, especially in the third set where he carved out a set point. "Mentally you have to be concentrated throughout such a match. Corentin is very quick, he is a fighter, especially in the third set," Djokovic said in a post-match interview. "He had set point. At that moment anything could happen but I stayed in the set. At the right time I found a good serve. "I know everyone asks me the secrets of success. It is not one thing but a combination, a formula that evolved with my career. For me now it is important to find the motivation. Obviously motivation now is to make more history." Moutet broke the Serb, fresh from winning in Geneva last week for his 100th ATP Tour title of his career, early in the first set but Djokovic bounced back with two breaks of his own to snatch it. He was at times troubled by the southpaw who slid, lunged and chased down every ball he could in his trademark style, to try and stay in the game, as the sold-out home crowd in Court Philippe Chatrier fired him on. Djokovic, who looks to have found his form after splitting with coach Andy Murray a few weeks ago, snatched another two breaks to go 5-2 up and bagged the second set on his serve. Moutet, ranked 73rd in the world, managed to break his opponent's serve and go 4-2 up after Djokovic took a medical timeout for treatment on the toes of his left foot. But he gifted it back the very next game before earning a set point at 6-5. Djokovic held firm and secured his third round spot with a commanding tiebreak performance. The 24-time Grand Slam champion will play Canadian 27th seed Denis Shapovalov or Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic for a spot in the last 16.

Suzy Amis Cameron on new venture Inside Out and sustainability
Two-hundred-thousand gallons of water. Or, the carbon equivalent of driving from Los Angeles to New York. That's how much you'll save by swapping your protein-peppered meal with a plant-based one, explains Suzy Amis Cameron, former actress, model, advocate, and founder of the One Meal A Day movement. She's in Rome for the launch of a branch of Inside Out (IO), a collective that's working towards finding innovative solutions to some of earth's most pressing concerns. The Roman chapter is focused on IO's Fashion, Textiles and Home vertical, and hopes to clear the moult of the industry and replace it with a cleaner, more climate-friendly perspective, to make Rome a beacon of sustainable fashion. For 63-year-old Suzy, mum of five and wife of Avatar filmmaker James Cameron, it's almost like her entire life has been lived in preparation for this moment. Her childhood was spent on a farm in Oklahoma, US, riding horses and connecting with nature. 'Everything from being outdoors in nature to being in ballet classes when I was five years old, and then doing gymnastics and getting very, very involved in horseback riding,' she says, gave her the body awareness she needed to walk runways and be on screen. Which led her to becoming a global icon with an international platform. 'It's a journey of looking at the signs, paying attention to them, and learning from them.' Especially when one is in the spotlight. 'I'm fully aware of the fact that I've been handed a very charmed life, and I've had many, many opportunities... I do have a platform, and I'm really, really grateful… what wakes me up in the middle of the night is, 'what more can I do to make the world a better place for all of our children, and their children, and the generations that we will never meet?'' She recalls many aha moments over the years, times when she recognised the need for change in the world. One of those episodes came when she was pregnant with her first child, Jasper, with ex-husband actor Sam Robards. 'My sister-in-law at the time (30 years ago) took me to a health food store and started talking to me about organic produce,' she recalls. And with that conversation, other niggling concerns arose, about what lotions and potions one should use, what's safe for a baby to wear, what shampoo and soap is good for you — and which ones are pernicious. That was the first tectonic shift that pushed her to explore healthier options. Another came in 2012, when she saw the documentary Forks Over Knives, which posits that food is medicine — it can be healing if you eat right. The film, by Lee Fulkerson, had such an impact on the Camerons that the whole family embraced a plant-based lifestyle overnight. By 2018, she had written a book called OMD: The Simple, Plant-Based Program to Save Your Health, Save Your Waistline, and Save the Planet, decimating the most common argument against eating plant-based meals: how to make them as nutritionally dense and delicious as 'normal' food. She had sparked a movement she called OMD (one meal a day). And, by 2020, she had convinced American talk show host Oprah Winfrey to subscribe to the plan. 'If you've been thinking about going vegetarian or vegan, I think this is a good way to lean into it where you don't have to give up everything you've been eating your whole life in one day,' Winfrey told Oprah Magazine at the time. Benefits of a new menu 'Every meal is a chance to nourish our bodies, show care for our communities, and make a positive impact on the planet. OMD is about starting where you are, and embracing small, meaningful steps,' says Amis Cameron. She works on creating ripples in the status quo, lobbying small, well-informed tweaks that bring about lasting change. 'You can't make a change until you see and understand what the problem is, and the only way to find out what the problem is or the challenge is, is to have information and be educated.' Every meal is a chance to nourish our bodies, show care for our communities, and make a positive impact on the planet. OMD is about starting where you are, and embracing small, meaningful steps" When she began to educate others, she also started to learn more about the waste we generate — between 2.1 billion and 2.3 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste a year, according to United Nations Environment Programme — the damage it does, and the work that humanity must put in to secure the world. And so she learned about the toxins that spike our food and drink, and our clothes. The result was the 2024 documentary Let Them Be Naked, which was directed by designer Jeff Garner. It investigates the contamination of clothes and the resulting illnesses. While Garner has been spearheading the move towards sustainable fashion since 2002, he only started investigating the repercussions of synthetic toxins in daily wear in 2019 after his mum, Peggy Lynn Garner, passed away from cancer. For Suzy, the research made one thing clear: 'It's not enough [for brands] to swap fabrics or chase certifications. Real change begins with transparency — knowing your supply chain, protecting your workers, and doing the hard, human work of rethinking the system inside out. We'd love to see fashion companies lead with compassion — ensuring safe conditions, fair wages, and access to basic human rights like healthcare. From there, we can meaningfully tackle emissions, toxins, and waste.' 'In terms of household name designers that we know, we're currently consulting and working with many of them now,' she says. She has made inroads in championing low-impact fashion on the red carpets of celebrity-studded awards too. In 2009, she launched the red carpet green dress initiative, which calls for responsibility and sustainability solutions. At the time, some were reticent about partnering up. 'It's really in the zeitgeist right now,' she adds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Suzy Amis Cameron (@suzyamiscameron) Current projects Her recent project, IO, takes on more than fashion; it works across six verticals: IO Science, Research, and Technology; IO Fashion, Textiles, and Home (IO FTH); IO Global Food Production (IO GFP); IO Education; IO Media; and IO Wellness. 'The one thing that really, really excites me about IO across all of the verticals is the partnerships that we've created with the leading universities [such as] MIT, Texas Tech, and Georgia Tech. We actually have solutions for remediating polyester and also remediating PFAs [perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances] out of soil, out of water,' she says over Zoom. The basis of the initiative, she explains, is: 'What you put in your body, how it affects your health, and how it affects the health of the planet. Which, in turn, affects not only the population of the human race but also every animal, every tree, every flower.' Of course, a good cause doesn't excuse poor brand performance. 'We have a fiduciary responsibility to our investors. We have three ROIs: return on investment, on impact, integrity,' she says. The former actress, whose reel credits include The Usual Suspects and Titanic, lives by her own rules, pointing out on the call that she's got organic raw vegetables waiting for her in her Roman hotel room. 'I live in New Zealand now and am very, very strategic about when I travel and where I go and the amount of things that I fit into whatever that trip is,' she adds. Other things she suggests people do are to buy less, revisit old outfits more, and common sense moves, such as taking public transport or carpooling. Actions speak loud If it weren't absolutely clear that Suzy is committed to her cause, you'd just need to follow the paper trail for proof. She has invested $65 million (Dh238 million) of her own money into IO and plans to raise another $300 million. 'For me, this mission is deeply personal — shaped by my own lived experience and a conviction that meaningful global change is not only possible, but necessary. The turning point came when I realised how much untapped potential exists at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and culture,' she explains. Change, while inevitable, is not an easy process — and when it comes to bettering the world, there must be a multi-pronged approach, says Suzy. 'Any sort of systemic change needs to be multi-pronged, so you're working with governments, policy makers, directly with the consumer, and the manufacturers.' And you must work with end-users; until demand changes, supply will not either. So, we must demand sustainable solutions. But what does that really mean? 'The word has been stretched so thin that it's often misunderstood. Many people believe they're making responsible choices, when, in fact, they may be unknowingly contributing to harm. That disconnect can be discouraging — but what keeps me hopeful is perspective. When I look back at where we started and how far we've come, the shift is undeniable. We still have a long journey ahead — one where we can't simply sustain the status quo — but I truly believe systemic change is within reach in our lifetime.' Just begin by swapping meat for vegetables and taking on the OMD challenge — there, you are already making the world a better place.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Dua Lipa among 300 public figures calling UK government to end 'complicity' in Gaza
More than 300 public figures have signed an open letter calling on the British government to cease what they describe as its 'complicity in the horrors in Gaza.' The letter was initiated by the UK-based charity Choose Love and is addressed to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It features figures from across the entertainment industry, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Dua Lipa, Annie Lennox, Tilda Swinton and Riz Ahmed. 'We urge you to take immediate action to end the UK's complicity in the horrors in Gaza,' the letter, obtained by Sky News, reads. 'Right now, children in Gaza are starving while food and medicine sit just minutes away, blocked at the border. Words won't feed Palestinian children – we need action. Every single one of Gaza's 2.1 million people is at risk of starvation, as you read this. 'Mothers, fathers, babies, grandparents – an entire people left to starve before the world's eyes," the letter continues. "290,000 children are on the brink of death – starved by the Israeli government for more than 70 days.' The letter urges the British government to block sales of UK arms to Israel. It also calls for immediate humanitarian access to Palestinians for aid agencies, and for the UK to help in brokering a ceasefire. 'Words won't save the lives of Palestinian children as they are being killed, words won't fill their empty stomachs,' Josie Naughton, co-founder and chief executive of Choose Love, said in the open letter. 'We need action from Keir Starmer now. That means stopping all arms sales and licences, making sure that legitimate humanitarian organisations can reach people in Gaza. It means doing everything possible to make these horrors end. Action is a choice, just as inaction is one. History will remember what we did in this moment. We are begging the Prime Minister to make the right choice.' The letter was co-signed a handful of Arab figures, including surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta and filmmakers Farah Nabulsi and Waad Al Kateab. 'History is written in moments of moral clarity,' the letter concludes. "This is one. The world is watching and history will not forget. The children of Gaza cannot wait another minute. Prime Minister, what will you choose? Complicity in war crimes, or the courage to act?' Israel's war on Gaza has killed at least 54,084 Palestinians and injured 123,308 since October 7, 2023, the enclave's Health Ministry said on Wednesday. Israel resumed military operations in the territory on March 18 ending a two-month ceasefire. Since then, 3,924 people have been killed. The Israeli military began its offensive after Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel and killed 1,200 people.
