Nicole Kidman Buttons Up in a White Suit and Straw Hat for the Wimbledon Finals
When it comes to a good pantsuit, Nicole Kidman always knows how to serve up an ace.
On Sunday, the Sirens star embraced Wimbledon whites at the English tennis tournament's men's singles finals. For the match, which saw Jannik Sinner defeat world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in three sets to one, Kidman looked pristine in an all-white suit that she paired with a chic straw hat.
The fitted double-breasted suit featured black accents, including buttons and lined cuff. The actor styled it over a white collared shirt and complemented the look with black square-frame sunglasses, a dainty black-and-silver watch, and pearl jewelry.
Of course, Kidman wasn't the only star to grace the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Sunday. The Wimbledon boxes were packed with VIPs, including Keira Knightley, Naomi Campbell, Cynthia Erivo, Orlando Bloom, Paul Mescal, and Daisy Edgar-Jones. Prince William and Princess Kate also attended the match with their two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
The Babygirl star took in the match next to Knightley and Andrew Scott, who were all garbed in their tennis whites.
Kidman's all-white outfit comes just days after the star rocked an opposite suit look at Balenciaga's Fall 2025 Couture show in Paris. For the runway show, which marked the end of an era for creative director Demna, the Nine Perfect Strangers star was sharp in an all-black pantsuit from the brand. She wore the look sans a shirt, and in typical fashion, topped it off with sleek shades and sharp pumps.

Why long throws are so important to Thomas Frank, and how he may use them at Spurs
Earlier this week, Destiny Udogie uploaded a video to social media that showed his Tottenham Hotspur team-mates Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr and Pedro Porro dancing in the dressing room at the training ground. It was a funny and wholesome moment — but there was a tiny, hidden detail in the video which Udogie unintentionally revealed. Advertisement Sarr was dancing in front of a large television screen which briefly displayed the first-team squad's schedule as they prepare for the coming season. All players were due to go for a swim, it read, then head to the gym. After lunch, they would participate in a session called 'back-to-back goals possession.' But if you take a closer look at the bottom of that TV, you might make out a collection of fuzzy words which seem to read 'long throw auditions'. Naturally, Spurs fans have seized on this. After all, long throws aren't naturally associated with the game's most glamorous or successful teams. Lots of people describe the tactical approach of Tottenham's new head coach Thomas Frank as pragmatic. While he was in charge of previous club Brentford, they set up in a 3-5-2 system during their 2021-22 debut season in the Premier League, and one of their main routes of attack was goalkeeper David Raya pumping long balls towards 6ft1in (185cm) striker Ivan Toney. They were a potent threat from set pieces, too. People who have known Frank throughout his coaching career prefer to call him open-minded. He is prepared to try different ideas and adapts to the strengths and weaknesses of the players at his disposal. The best example of this is how throw-ins became a valuable weapon for him at Brentford — and he apparently wants to repeat the trick with Spurs after moving across London this summer. Part of the reason why Frank has this attitude is because Brentford have a long history of employing specialist coaches, including throw-in expert Thomas Gronnemark, sleep consultant Anna West and Bartek Sylwestrzak, who helps players to improve their ball-striking technique. Andreas Georgson spent the 2019-20 season as their set-piece coach and will now perform the same role at Spurs. Keith Andrews, who was in charge of Brentford's set-pieces last season, has even replaced Frank as their head coach. Advertisement Brentford hired all of these specialists out of necessity. When they were in the second-tier Championship, they did not have the money to go out and buy top players, so they focused on improving the talent present within their squad via any means necessary. On the opening day of that 2021-22 season, in Brentford's first game in the English top flight for 74 years, Christian Norgaard scored from a throw-in routine to seal a famous 2-0 win against Arsenal. Long throw-ins have become fashionable again in the Premier League but nobody has come close to matching the efficiency of Brentford, who were responsible for six of the 20 goals scored from them in the division last season. According to The Athletic's data model, Spurs generated 0.2 xG (expected goals) within 10 seconds of their attacking throw-ins last season — only Chelsea created less. Under Frank's predecessor Ange Postecoglou, their full-backs tended to wait for James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall or Dejan Kulusevski to offer for the ball from midfield, before playing a quick one-two and recycling possession. Keane Lewis-Potter and Michael Kayode, Brentford's starting full-backs towards the end of that 2024-25 campaign, took a lot of their throw-ins, but sometimes centre-back Ethan Pinnock, central midfielder Mathias Jensen or forward Kevin Schade stepped up. It was a strange sight to see Schade, their third-highest scorer (with 11) behind Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, drying the ball with a towel on the touchline, but he had one of the most powerful throws in the squad. Maybe Mohammed Kudus or Mathys Tel will become a secret weapon for Tottenham with their throw-ins; this is the whole point of Frank's auditions. Brentford generated 5.9 xG from throw-ins last season, which was comfortably the highest figure in the division. Nottingham Forest were a distant second at only 1.4. By way of direct comparison, Brentford attempted 98 more throws directly into the opposition penalty area in 2024-25 than Spurs did. Do not be fooled into thinking that Porro, Udogie, Djed Spence or Archie Gray will suddenly start aimlessly hurling balls into the box. A lot of planning and creativity went into Brentford's throw-in moves. For example, in their penultimate game of last season, they caused west London rivals Fulham a lot of problems. Kayode can propel the ball powerfully across large distances and still retain accuracy. In the 21st minute against Fulham, he shaped his body to throw one into the box but shifted it at the last moment and instead found Lewis-Potter. He receives the ball just inside Fulham's half and rolls Emile Smith Rowe before clipping a pass towards Norgaard on the left wing. Brentford have changed the angle of their attack in an attempt to catch Fulham off-guard. Fulham temporarily clear the ball, but Adama Traore is dispossessed by Wissa. The visitors' defensive structure is now all over the place, with Calvin Bassey much deeper than his centre-back partner Joachim Andersen, and full-back Antonee Robinson nowhere near Mbeumo. Mbeumo strides into the box and equalises with a drilled shot low into the corner. Brentford might not have scored directly from a throw-in in this situation, but it all stems from their desire to be bold in such situations. Brentford took the lead just before half-time in the same game from another throw-in. Kayode is in charge again, and Fulham are wary of him picking out Yehor Yarmoliuk on the edge of the area. This unpredictability can create confusion among opposition defences and potentially lead to mistakes. Fulham have all their outfield players in the penalty area to Brentford's five, yet Sepp van den Berg manages to rise above everybody to flick the ball on… … and Norgaard nudges it back across the box to provide Wissa with a simple finish. No Fulham player tracked the midfielder's back-post run because they were all too worried about trying to win the initial ball. Brentford are experts when it comes to every kind of set piece. They even scored straight from kick-off in three consecutive games last season. There are charts on the walls in the canteen at their training ground which show how many chances they are creating and conceding from set pieces. (Don't be surprised if something similar is now introduced at Hotspur Way.) Advertisement After they beat his Liverpool side 3-1 in January 2023, Jurgen Klopp said Brentford 'stretch the rules'. 'If you singled out every situation, you would find five fouls,' Klopp added. 'But because it's so chaotic, nobody sees it. That's what they do, and it's really good; they react to different things. 'They play like this against us, but against other teams, they play football, and it's fantastic. You cannot defend long balls all the time. They were super-direct. That limits them in some aspects, but in this kind of game they are able to create chaos and they organised that extremely well.' As more teams became aware of their threat from set pieces, Brentford responded by coming up with new ideas and cleverly disguising their intentions. It happened in May against Fulham, and there is another example from the 3-1 defeat of Southampton last August. Here, Mbeumo and Wissa drop off to potentially receive from a Jensen throw-in. But the Denmark international takes a few steps back, signalling his intention to send it long, so his two strikers turn back and head off towards goal. At the same time, Nathan Collins and Pinnock, Brentford's centre-backs, have moved from the penalty spot to the near post. Their presence will prevent goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from catching the ball. Jensen's delivery spins towards that front post, and Collins nips in front of the Southampton defenders to flick it on. Wissa makes an arcing run towards the back post… … and is rewarded with an incredibly easy finish. Southampton were tricked into thinking Brentford would throw the ball short, which meant they were poorly organised for Jensen's longer effort. Udogie's innocent, behind-the-scenes video from Spurs training inadvertently highlighted the biggest difference between Frank and Postecoglou. The latter largely stuck rigidly to his philosophy and dismissed the importance of set pieces, even comparing them to a rugby scrum. Frank will try anything if it helps his team gain an advantage.

Legendary Singer, 76, Joins Fellow Rock Legend on Surprising Cover Song
Legendary Singer, 76, Joins Fellow Rock Legend on Surprising Cover Song originally appeared on Parade. In the hallowed halls of rock and roll, there are no voices quite like that of Robert Plant. As the lead singer of Led Zeppelin, Plant became known for his extravagant wails, dramatic delivery of intricately constructed verses and a charismatic stage presence that generations of singers have imitated and rarely duplicated. While Plant is no stranger to collaborations—he frequently works with country artist Alison Krauss—it's still something special to get the man who sang 'Immigrant Song,' 'Whole Lotta Love,' and 'Kashmir' to lend his voice to your track. Although it might help if you're Paul Weller, the guitarist and vocalist for the legendary punk band The Jam. Weller, 67, will release Find El Dorado on July 25 via Parlophone Records, an album containing 15 covers of his favorite songs. On July 3, Weller released his version of 'Clive's Song.' Scottish folk singer Hamish Imlach originally performed the song on his 1971 album, Old Rarity, per Ultimate Classic Rock. Clive Palmer of the Incredible String Band wrote it for Imlach, and Robert Plant has cited the Incredible String Band as an influence. It might be surprising to hear Plant, a legend of hard rock, sing on something so acoustic and bluesy. But, according to UCR, Weller invited Plant to join him on the song because of Robert's love of folk and blues music. The song marks Plant's first appearance on a song since 2021. He reunited with Krauss for her album, Raise the Roof. Plant will resume his 2025 European tour with his band, Saving Grace, which includes three weeks in France, Italy and Spain. Led Zeppelin came together in 1968, after former Yardbirds member Jimmy Page recruited Plant as the singer for the new group. However, according to Ian Anderson, Plant came close to replacing him in Jethro Tull. "You know I remember at the time, 'wait a minute, there's something else going on here,'' said Anderson when recounting how Plant sorta 'auditioned' for the Singer, 76, Joins Fellow Rock Legend on Surprising Cover Song first appeared on Parade on Jul 3, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Legendary Artist Performed at Live Aid in Two Different Cities and Got ‘Caught in a Toxic, Dysfunctional Web of Led Zeppelin'
Legendary Artist Performed at Live Aid in Two Different Cities and Got 'Caught in a Toxic, Dysfunctional Web of Led Zeppelin' originally appeared on Parade. Perhaps no look back at Live Aid on its 40th anniversary is complete without focusing on the herculean task of on July 13, 1985. The Genesis singer-drummer and solo artist was the only artist to play the historic fund-raising concert in both London and Philadelphia. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Amazingly, Collins first performed and played drums for and in London at Wembley Stadium and then he traveled by helicopter to Heathrow Airport from where he flew on the Concorde to New York City and then jumped on another helicopter to Philadelphia. Once in Philly, he performed a solo set and played drums with and the reunited Led Zeppelin. With Sting in London, the Police singer started his set with two Police songs, 'Roxanne' and 'Driven to Tears' before Collins joined to perform his hit 'Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now,' the Police's 'Message in a Bottle,' Collins' 'In the Air Tonight' and 'Long Long Way to Go,' and the Police's 'Every Breath You Take.' At JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, Collins did his own two-song solo set consisting of 'Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)' and 'In the Air Tonight,' then backed Clapton on the Cream song 'White Room,' Clapton's 'She's Waiting' and Derek and the Dominos' 'Layla.' But he wasn't done. He also backed Led Zeppelin's , and on a three-song set featuring 'Rock and Roll,' 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'Stairway to Heaven.' Drummer was also on hand because apparently it took two drummers to fill the shoes of the late . 'It's just great to be part of something like this,' Collins told reporters backstage at the Wembley show, per Music Radar. Later, he was interviewed in the Concorde's cockpit while in transit, Collins said, 'Basically the reason I'm doing this is because it can be done. It's good fun isn't it?' However, Collins would later have second thoughts. Initially, Plant, Page and Collins were possibly going to perform, but it eventually turned into a full-scale Led Zeppelin reunion. ''You, me and Jimmy maybe doing something together' had become the second coming of history's greatest rock band. This is a development for which I am blissfully ignorant. Robert hasn't called, so I don't know that John Paul Jones is coming too. All of a sudden, it's Led Zeppelin,' Collins said. He went on to further detail the experience in his 2016 autobiography, Not Dead Yet. 'I didn't come here to play with Led Zeppelin, I came here to play with a friend of mine who has morphed back into being the singer of Led Zeppelin -- a very different animal to the one that invited me,' Collins wrote. 'Now I'm caught up in the ceaselessly toxic, dysfunctional web of Led Zeppelin interpersonal relationships' Collins admitted he knew things weren't going well during the short set. 'I know the wheels are falling off from early on in the set," Collins wrote in his book. 'I can't hear Robert clearly from where I'm sat, but I can hear enough to know that he's not on top of his game. Ditto Jimmy." Despite the honor of playing the gig and making history that day, Collins admitted it ended on a sour note. 'If I could have left that stage, I would have left, half-way through 'Stairway,' if not earlier,' he wrote.
