Keira Knightley and Husband James Righton Wear Almost Identical Wimbledon Whites

Yahoo9 hours ago
Keira Knightley and husband James Righton made an appearance at the Men's Final at Wimbledon on July 13.
They wore almost identical all-white ensembles for the occasion.
Other couples have recently made stylish appearances at Wimbledon including Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves.Keira Knightley and her husband James Righton stepped out for a rare joint outing on July 13. The pair were spotted in the stands of Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club to watch the Men's Final at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships—and, naturally, the British couple absolutely nailed the unofficial Wimbledon dress code wearing almost identical all-white ensembles.
Knightley wore a button-up white top with short sleeves and wide lapels forming a soft v-neck. The top appeared to be casually tucked into a pair of matching loose white pants. She paired the all-white ensemble with a choker-style pearl and gold necklace and stacked gold hoops on both ears. She also wore a pearl and gold belt around her waist. She donned a pair of square black sunglasses and wore her hair in an ultra slick low bun with a center part.
Meanwhile, Righton matched his wife in a textured white suit with a white shirt and even a white tie. Like his wife, he also wore square black sunglasses.
The couple are only the latest pair to give their take on Wimbledon couples dressing. Yesterday, actor Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves also served a sartorial ace with their matching looks. McConaughey wore a blue suit with a grass green tie, while Alves wore a white suit with brown boho touches. A few days earlier, actor Andrew Garfield and his girlfriend actress Monica Barbaro appeared at the championships. Like Knightley and Righton, they opted for matching all-white ensembles. And, a few days before that, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas wore two coordinated Ralph Lauren looks.
Although Knightley and Righton don't make a lot of joint appearances, their Wimbledon date comes just a few days after they stepped out together at Paris Fashion Week for Chanel's Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2025-26 show. Last year, the couple were also spotted together at the Wimbledon quarterfinals. This year, Knightley and Righton found themselves seated with Anna Wintour, Nicole Kidman, Andrew Scott, and Paul Mescal.

Love Island revives conversation about racial bias and misogynoir in dating

It used to be that dating was as simple as deciding between dinner, a trip to the movies or an arcade. Now, understanding the dating scene has become intermingled with smartphones, matchmaking apps and one's ability to navigate thorny social issues like racial preference in a mate. 'Love Island,' a widely popular international reality television franchise, is emblematic of the complexities of modern dating. It has also sparked heated discussions among fans about the desirability of Black women and darker-complexioned people both on and off air. The show, which aired the finale of the seventh season of its U.S. version Sunday and is airing the 12th season of its U.K. version, casts conventionally attractive 'islanders' who are generally in their early to late 20s for a six- to eight-week stay in a luxury villa. Men and women compete for long-lasting relationships and a cash prize. But as the show's daters face challenges meant to test their bonds, as well as elimination by villa mates or by fans' vote, notions of who is and isn't desirable frequently come up for viewers and contestants alike. In the end, many fans are left with the perception that racial bias , colorism and misogyny are especially inescapable for Black women on reality dating shows. 'The diversity in the U.K. one is terrible,' said Oghosa Ovienrioba, a content creator from London. 'It's very anti-Black.' It's not simply that Black women are picked last for coupling or eliminated first on the U.K. or U.S. versions of the show. Many fans say there's a recurring theme of suitors dumping or ditching Black female contestants when there is a fairer skinned option. Black female contestants have also complained of not doing well on the show when they don't lower their standards for intimacy with a suitor, as though they are lucky to even been considered dating material among more desirable mates. Even with these viewer frustrations, Ovienrioba said she prefers ' Love Island USA .' 'I feel like the dark skin Black women on that show always find men who fit their vibe, who respect them, who are attracted to them, desire them, treat them like queens,' she said. In the U.K. version, fans have counted multiple instances where Black female contestants were left as the last choice when couples were picked, or they were first to get eliminated and dumped from the villa. Many have also noted that it took eleven seasons before a darker-complexioned Black woman was declared the winner. Now in its 12th season, Love Island U.K. is still dogged by allegations of male contestants' bias against Black women. After 23-year-old Alima Gagigo , a Black woman, chose to couple up with 26-year-old Blu Chegini, a white man, he said, 'I'll be honest, on paper, you're not my type.' Gagigo responded, 'Of course,' as if those were words she was not surprised to hear. There is no evidence that Chegini was referring to Gagigo's race or ethnicity. But the exchange was enough to confirm what some in audience felt was an implicit bias against Black women in the villa. 'Love Island's only stipulation is that applicants are over 18, single and looking for love. Our application and casting process is inclusive to all and we are always aiming to reflect the age and diversity of our audience on the show,' a show spokesperson for 'Love Island U.K.' said. JaNa Craig, a contestant on 'Love Island USA's' beloved sixth season, which aired last summer, landed a spot in the final four couples by the end of the competition alongside Kenny Rodriguez, who entered the villa 13 days into the season. Her bubbly personality made her a fan favorite. Although she initially worried about how viewers felt about her, the positive audience reaction culminated in her being deemed the 'baddest girl in Love Island history,' which means hot or beautiful in slang terms. Still, she felt some male contestants may not have been interested in her and Serena Page, another Black female contestant, because of their skin complexion. Page went on to win that season of 'Love Island USA.' 'The very first time I felt special is when the very first guy picked me because he had three options. Other than that, I always felt like I was getting the short end of the stick,' Craig said. 'Even though we know our worth and we know we're beautiful, we still felt like — not good enough.' Ultimately, Craig felt proudest when she heard from other Black women who said they appreciated her representation on the show, given the perception that Black women are less desirable on dating shows. 'I felt honored by the amount of Black girls that were like, 'JaNa, you inspire me,'' she said. 'Love Island USA' producer Peacock, which on Sunday debuted a spinoff to its popular Season 6 season, titled 'Love Island: Beyond the Villa,' declined comment for this story. Fans' and contestants' concerns about Black women's representation on the show reflect a real-world anti-Black and misogynistic views of Black women, commonly referred to as misogynoir . Scholars describe it as both implicit and explicit contempt for Black women, much of it rooted in racist stereotypes that are perpetuated in popular culture and mass media. While Love Island contestants are not being outright racist to Black female competitors, many viewers feel the interactions Black women have had on the show have been laced with implicit bias. Few viewers see anything wrong with 'Love Island' contestants being open about the specific traits they look for in potential suitors. Tall over short, fit over average build, tattooed over unmarked. But contestants' racial preferences, whether real or simply perceived by fans of the show, can't be seen as objective truth about who is or is not desirable in the world, said Alexandria Beightol, host of the podcast 'Apathy Is Not An Option' at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights and legal advocacy nonprofit. 'You recognizing you have a type should also be you recognizing you are a product of a lot of mass media,' Beightol said. The show's producers should see the show's popularity as an opportunity to dispel and not reinforce notions of beauty, especially ones harmful to Black women and darker-complexioned people, she added. 'It would behoove you to have some producers that look like some of the women on there who can kind of anticipate some of that drama,' Beightol said. 'They do frame those women as beautiful. In the history of reality programming, they've busted through a lot of the implicit views that the media used to hold itself to.'

Pamela Anderson Forever

The Atlantic Daily, a newsletter that guides you through the biggest stories of the day, helps you discover new ideas, and recommends the best in culture. Sign up for it here. Pamela Anderson wore a structured Tory Burch gown to the Met Gala this year, its bell-shaped skirt, rounded neckline, and long sleeves hiding every part of her except her hands and her face, which was mostly free of makeup, her preference for the past few years; her blond hair was newly cut into a bob. It was the fashion of subtraction, only her face identifying her as the famous star. If she had wanted something like invisibility, however, she missed the mark. If clothes can convey messages, hers screamed, Alert the incels! These unfortunates have a number of obsessions, one of which is locating famously beautiful and unattainable women who would once have scorned them but are now, the men imagine, stripped of their power because they aren't young anymore. The incels spoke as one that night, posting photographs of Anderson in her youth next to the ones of her at the Met. Their comments were predictable. Not typing his feelings about Pamela Anderson's dress was the actor Liam Neeson, who finished shooting a remake of Naked Gun with her last year and then confessed that he'd fallen 'madly in love' with Pamela Anderson. She picked up the ball and said that the relationship had been 'professionally romantic,' and that he'd been a 'perfect gentleman.' That exchange says more about Anderson and her appeal than anything mewled by the misbegotten. She is 58. She can keep going until she's 102 and she'll still have plenty of male attention. Because she's been famous for so long, and because that fame is the result of her youthful work in Playboy and on Baywatch, she can seem dispensable, one more Populuxe American Blonde from an era when Hollywood was full of them. In fact, she's a much more interesting person than that, serious and funny, an eager student of a range of arcane topics. The person she is most like is Marilyn Monroe, not for the simple fact of her great beauty, or for its type, but because as with Monroe there is something sacrificial about her. Long before the internet became the central force in people's lives, Anderson was the victim of something that has been made almost common because of it: a celebrity sex tape. Today, women have adopted a range of strategies to manage such a violation, chief among them the assertion that they have nothing to be ashamed of, that the person who released the video and those who seek it out are the ones who should be ashamed. At the time, however, Anderson had no role models, only her own humiliation, gleefully celebrated by millions of men who finally had what they wanted from her, which is what men always want from women: everything. Many people never would have recovered from what was done to her; Monroe was dead at 36, a casualty of barbiturates and Hollywood. [Sophie Gilbert: What is it about Pamela Anderson?] Monroe lived her life dependent on the kindness of sadists; Anderson has lived hers on the strength of what once would have been called her own 'hopes and dreams.' Her current cultural relevancy—she was cast in her first serious film role last year, and she's at the center of conversations about beauty and youth—might seem like the result of a series of power moves, but she doesn't operate on that economy. Her vulnerability is as much a part of her constitution as her strength is. It's the old, dangerous combination, but she has triumphed by it. The Pamela Anderson origin story is legendary. After a troubled childhood spent in a small town on an island in British Columbia, she had an idea that many young people from obscure places have: She should move to a city and maybe, just by being in a larger and more exciting place, something would happen to change her life. It was the right impulse. She moved to Vancouver, and almost before she had unpacked she was on a rocket ship that didn't touch down for more than a decade. Friends who worked in publicity for the Labatt's beer company gave her an extra ticket to a football game and a Labatt's T-shirt to wear. She was not long in the stands before the Jumbotron caught sight of her. A planet-shaking male cheer erupted. Stand up, one of her friends told her. She did, and she shimmied a little bit. She was 22, her brown hair aggressively highlighted with Sun In, and I'm certain that a hopeful thousand or more men made a plan to go find her during halftime, but she wasn't in her seat at halftime. She was down on the field, picking the winning number in a lottery. Labatt's asked her to be its 'Blue Zone Girl,' and she appeared in a commercial and on a poster, but the campaign was short-lived because soon the phone rang. It was Playboy, asking if she wanted to come to Los Angeles and be on the cover of the October 1989 issue. It was the kind of call that we are taught to distrust, but Anderson was—and to some extent still is—a trusting person. The animating idea of Playboy magazine, which was launched in 1953, was that it was different from the publications of the 'smut' industry. It would not feature desperate-looking women engaged in various forms of depredation, but rather women who may have been naked but could still plausibly be presented as having hobbies and interests outside of sex, and who were 'clean'—not just of sexually transmitted diseases, but of backgrounds tarnished by experience. Soon enough she had landed at LAX and was being driven by limousine to the Playboy mansion. She was lonely in the back seat of the cavernous car and asked the driver if she could sit up front with him. She could. She had her hair colored an 'acceptable shade of honey blond,' had only a moment of embarrassment at the very beginning of the first shoot, and from there on out loved her work for the magazine, for which she would eventually shoot 14 covers. The closest she came to waffling over the implications of nude modeling was calling her mother soon after her first shoot to see if it would be all right if she became a Playmate. 'Do it, sweetheart,' her mother said. She loved posing for Playboy. From a young age, she said, she'd had 'so much shame' about her body. That changed in front of the camera. It was 'the first time I felt like I'd broken free of something.' Anderson's feelings about sex and her naked body were less in line with the hyper-materialist 1980s and '90s than with the attitudes of the '60s—she just wanted to be free. A new Playboy model didn't usually create a sensation in Hollywood, but Pamela Anderson did. Through her connection to the magazine, she met a wide range of people. The legendary movie producer Jon Peters waged a full-on campaign to romance her, drenching her in expensive gifts, allowing her to live in one of his Bel Air houses, and installing her as the hostess of his dinner parties, where she mixed with writers, artists, and intellectuals. Anderson had already read Jung, and now entered analysis. She read Nightwood, The Drama of the Gifted Child, The Golden Notebook, The Hero With a Thousand Faces. Peters wasn't used to getting friend-zoned, but he put up with it, because what else could he do? ('There are beautiful girls everywhere,' Peters told The Hollywood Reporter in 2020; 'I could have my pick, but—for 35 years—I've only wanted Pamela.') Then something happened that made Anderson not just famous, but one of the most famous people in the world. Permanently famous, globally famous. She was cast in the third season of Baywatch, and quickly became the most popular character on what may be the most-watched television show in history. At its peak, more than 1 billion people watched it every week. Baywatch was made when the idea of the American dream burned strongly around the world and found its highest expression in the California dream, which, reduced to its purest elements, meant gorgeous young people, endless summer, and the beach. The show was first broadcast on NBC, which canceled it after its first season; in another bit of entertainment legend, one of its stars, David Hasselhoff, helped revive it under new ownership. It had all the elements of a global hit, including plots so simple that even a viewer who didn't speak one of the 48 languages into which the show was translated could understand what was happening—and what was happening, seemingly three or four times an episode, was that the lifeguards were running across the sand in red bathing suits and extreme slow motion, perhaps to save someone from drowning, perhaps to see if the rest of the gang wanted to play beach volleyball. I don't think I've ever seen an entire episode of Baywatch, but the show was so much a part of the wallpaper of the time that actually watching it seemed redundant. Like a lot of American television at the time, Baywatch was conservative: It was on the side of law and order; the lifeguards often fell into bed with each other, but rarely outside an established relationship, and never in any overtly sexual way. The most you would see was a couple giggling under the sheets while one of them (usually the man) fumbled for the switch on the bedside lamp. [Sophie Gilbert: Curse of the '90s bombshell] Anderson had broken a well-policed barrier between the kind of woman who could be a Playboy model and the kind of woman who could be a television star. The two roles amplified each other. Playboy wanted to be as much in the mainstream as it could be: Whenever Anderson was on a new cover, entertainment shows reported on it. The television series—sexy without being sexual—seemed racier because of its association with the magazine. In 1995 she married Tommy Lee, the drummer from the band Mötley Crüe, on a beach in Cancun. They wore bathing suits, the day was brilliant, the photographs were everywhere, and on the flight home to California, she asked him what their last name was, thinking it might be Jones, like the actor Tommy Lee Jones. In the early '90s, personal video cameras became popular, in part because of parents' eagerness to film their children. A different use soon became apparent to other users (let us call them 'men'): They could record intimate sexual acts. Persuading women to participate in that kind of video usually required some effort, but so did composing The Federalist Papers. Anderson and Lee spent a lot of time in luxurious hotels while one or the other of them was on tour, but for their honeymoon they kept it real: a houseboat on Lake Mead, in Arizona. They brought the video camera on that trip and a few others, recording a total of about eight minutes of sexual activity. The couple returned to their Malibu house, and Lee hid the tapes inside a large home safe he kept behind a carpeted wall in the garage. Why would someone as reckless and Mötley Crüe–ish as Tommy Lee go to the trouble of hiding videocassettes so carefully? Because this was 1995, but when it comes to sexual norms, it might as well have been 1955. The internet has caused as dramatic and irreversible a change in people's sexual behavior as the birth-control pill did more than half a century ago. The pill made the true liberation of women a possibility, and the internet made their near enslavement to male sexual desires so commonplace that we don't even acknowledge it. The concepts of the empowered sex worker, the financially savvy OnlyFans account creator, the winning-at-life porn star are the product of women trying to create a personal ethic that encompasses the fearsome power of the internet. But back in the '90s, that was a long way off; the world could still lose its mind over a private film of a woman having sex with her own husband. Anderson and Lee realized that the safe—and with it the tapes—had been stolen in January 1996. Soon after, they got a letter from Bob Guccione, the pornographer and creator of Penthouse magazine: He wanted to buy the rights to distribute the footage. The realization that the tapes were in the hands of strangers was horrifying to Anderson; her choice to model for Playboy had been an act of her own liberation. This was entirely different—a violation, a precursor to a kind of public shaming few women had then experienced. Even in the midst of her shock, she realized that whatever happened next would be good for her husband's career and ruinous to her own—and it just about was. News of the recordings—which were eventually retailed by an associate of the thief—was received by millions of men with savage glee. Night after night after night, Jay Leno made cruel jokes about it. It was as though Anderson was experiencing her due punishment for giving men just a peek at her naked body, not access to the whole of it. Pornography runs in one direction: A woman can go further and further into the form, but reversing course is all but impossible. Once men have seen everything, they're rarely in the mood to see it covered back up; the spell is broken. The couple filed a civil suit, but Anderson couldn't make it through the depositions—lawyers plastered the office where it took place with giant reproductions of her Playboy pictures and assaulted her with irrelevant questions about her sexual preferences and experiences. She was pregnant, after suffering an earlier miscarriage, and so upset by the experience that she feared she would lose this baby, too. For a long time, I thought the cruelty of the episode could never be repeated. But in 2022, Hulu broadcast a limited series in which the event was played for laughs—including a re-creation of the making of the tapes themselves. In a documentary released the next year, Anderson explains how painful this was to her: She had blocked it out 'in order to survive,' and 'now that it's all coming up again, I feel sick.' The show's star, Lily James, eventually sent her a letter of apology, but Anderson said she never opened it. Anderson has always been devoted to her sons. When one of them was a little boy, he came home from school, rattled by another day of facing relentless comments about his mother, and said, 'Mom, why did you do that tape?' It seems a hell of a thing to make a comedy about, but pornography has driven us mad. Anderson divorced Lee and remarried several times. She had the sense—shared by many—that she was foundering. The low point was when she took a job as a magician's assistant in Las Vegas. But through it all, she has remained a beloved figure. The painter Ed Ruscha had become a friend, and introduced her to Werner Herzog, who called her regularly about a movie project; her sexy friendship with Julian Assange was based on genuine feeling for him and his plight. One of her long-standing goals has been to end the Canadian seal hunt, a brutal event that kills seals for their meat, pelt, and oil. In 2010, she wrote to Vladimir Putin—Russia was by then the world's biggest importer of Canadian seal fur. Sure enough, those imports were banned the next year. Later, she went several times to the Kremlin to lobby for other animal-rights issues. 'Have you ever talked directly to him?' Piers Morgan asked her during an interview. She kept a long, smiling silence. 'Putin was only in the room once, but he heard of everything,' she reported. 'I would get messages from other people that he was pleased that I was there—he kind of got a kick out of me.' [Max Fisher: Pamela Anderson vs. Orthodox Jews] Two years ago, she went to Paris for Fashion Week. She didn't want to spend three hours in a chair getting her hair and makeup done; she'd rather go to the Louvre. So she did. Many older women have decided at a certain point to stop wearing cosmetics, but none has made as big of a splash as Anderson. 'I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room,' she told Vogue France. 'If we all chase youth,' she added, 'we're only going to be disappointed and maybe a little bit sad.' This past fall she appeared on the Today show to promote her new plant-based cookbook. She was wearing black pants and a bright-white shirt, and she looked like she was having a great time. The hosts had been discussing Mariah Carey's long-term battle with unflattering overhead lighting. 'Let the makeup go, let the lighting go!' she said as the hosts laughed and agreed with her. She said she'd had no idea what a big impact her decision to toss the cosmetics would have; women have come up to her with their young daughters to thank her for what she's doing. She does look different without makeup, but she is still a very pretty woman, and clearly she has been renewed in some deep way. Anderson starred in a movie released this year that could have been written for her, although it wasn't. The Last Showgirl is a beautiful, small movie about a dancer in one of the last big Las Vegas revues. As the movie opens, the dancer discovers that this show, too, is about to close. She's a Tennessee Williams character, facing a delicate situation—she's too old to appear in the newer, more explicit shows—with a mixture of fatalism, daydreams, and terror. Reviewers took Anderson's performance seriously, and she was nominated for a Golden Globe. She's always handled herself with grace, always been bigger than the situations thrust upon her. And probably more than she realizes, we've always been on her side. She spent the most tumultuous years of her life protecting her sons as best she could from the cruelty that followed the stolen tape. They're men now, fiercely protective of her—her older son, Brandon, urged her to read The Last Showgirl script after her agent had passed on it. In 2015, Pamela posed for her last Playboy cover, but before doing so, she asked her sons how they would feel about it. They told her they weren't embarrassed anymore. As Brandon said, 'You know, we think you're great.' Article originally published at The Atlantic

Prince Harry and King Charles 'closer than ever' to reconciliation after 'secret' talks

Prince Harry and King Charles may be moving towards a royal reconciliation after senior aides reportedly held private talks in London. The meeting is said to be the first serious step in years towards resolving the long-running family rift. The informal discussion took place at a London club last week, with aides from both sides in attendance. Sources say a channel of communication is now open. According to , the meeting was held at the Royal Over-Seas League in London. The club is known for promoting international friendship and understanding. The meeting was described as casual and without a formal agenda. A source told the publication: "There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about." The King, 76, was represented by his communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae. Prince Harry, 40, was represented by his chief communications officer, Meredith Maines, who flew in from Los Angeles. Liam Maguire, who oversees the Sussexes' UK PR, also attended. Reports say Meredith and Liam arrived at the club at 3.50pm on Wednesday, with Tobyn joining them shortly after. The group were seen chatting on the garden terrace before moving inside. It was reported that "everyone just wants to move on and move forward now". It was added that it's "finally the right time for the two sides to talk". The meeting is being seen as a tentative but important first step. The rift between Harry and the Royal Family has played out in public for several years. Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Since then, relations with the Royal Family have remained strained. In a BBC interview earlier this year, Harry commented openly about his relationship with his father. He said the King "won't speak to me because of this security stuff". Harry was appealing a decision regarding his entitlement to automatic police protection in the UK. The appeal was later dismissed, leading to further criticism of his handling of the issue. Harry described the situation as a "good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up". He also admitted: "I would love a reconciliation." This is the first time senior staff from both camps have met in person to discuss the relationship. Previous attempts at communication have largely been behind closed doors. While no official comment has been made, insiders suggest both sides are now open to future dialogue. The King has kept a busy public schedule despite ongoing treatment for cancer. Harry remains based in California with Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. There are no confirmed plans for Harry to return to the UK in the coming months. However, he is expected to travel to Birmingham in July 2027 for the Invictus Games. Royal watchers have speculated that the Games could offer an opportunity for a public reunion. It remains to be seen whether Charles or other members of the Royal Family will attend. For now, the recent meeting signals that reconciliation may no longer be out of reach. A source added: "There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years."
