Largest Exhibition of Queen Elizabeth's Fashion Set for 2026
'Queen Elizabeth II: A Life in Style' will include pieces from throughout the late monarch's life, from a bridesmaid dress she wore in 1934 to the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Kent and 1970s evening gowns to a simple brown hunting jacket. Both her wedding and coronation gowns, made by Norman Hartnell, will be included.
In addition to the garments themselves, the exhibit will also explore the Queen's use of sartorial diplomacy — using clothes to signal diplomatic goodwill — through never-before-seen notes, sketches and more.
The exhibition will open next spring and run through the autumn; official dates will be released in November 2025.

From Martha to Diddy, Trial Sketch Artist Draws History Live From the Courtroom
It was in the final moment of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' marathon federal trial when Elizabeth Williams found her eyes locked with the rap mogul for the first time. The career sketch artist had followed his movements in the courtroom, sometimes using binoculars to capture him. She was mirroring his expression of absolute shock that moment on July 2, when he learned he was being denied bail and sent back to one of New York's most notorious lockups. The two sat there in the federal courtroom, flabbergasted, their gazes locked on each other. Normally, Williams would start with the head. But this time, Combs' eyes, and the pure shock they revealed, were first to the canvas.'I saw this face,' she told The Hollywood Reporter, pointing to a sketch, from her tight midtown Manhattan studio space in what used to be an upstairs nail salon. 'He was so shocked. I've drawn his face so much so it was easy to get it. He was relatively close to me. I couldn't believe it. I don't think he could either.'She has been sketching since 1980, toggling between fashion illustration and criminal courtrooms. But as strange days have hit the worlds of news and couture, her subject matter has veered away from runway struts and toward the legal drama unfolding in federal and criminal courts. More from The Hollywood Reporter Ghislaine Maxwell Moved to Lower-Security Texas Prison Where She'll Be Housed With Two Famous Inmates Sean "Diddy" Combs' Lawyers Now Seeking Acquittal on Guilty Verdicts, Months Ahead of His Sentencing Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Attorneys File Motion for His Release From Brooklyn Lockup Williams digs out stacks of sketches, showing her renderings of some of the most definitive legal moments of the past few decades. There's Martha Stewart, surrounded by bodyguards ('All these older men that Martha wanted to be around'). There's one from the Pizza Connection mafia case. A livid Stormy Daniels being cross-examined by Michael Avenatti, Ghislaine Maxwell leaning in with her attorney, Luigi Mangione's sneakers and Donald Trump's accordion hands all appear in the array of bold sketches of these cases most tense moments. 'My go-to materials? A brush pen with two sides. A big orange crayon, high-end, oil-based. A water brush,' she explains, then detailing the coastal stylistic divide of her craft. 'I work with line, not pastel. That's a West Coast thing. East Coasters do portraiture with pastels. I build structure from line. Line is truth.' But it wasn't her memorable rendering of that shared moment of locked-eyed shock with Diddy that made the cover of the Daily News and NewDay. Williams sketched the moment that the mogul dropped to his knees to thank the Lord after he beat the bulk of the feds' charges. She describes the scene surrounding the verdict as 'drawing a person falling out of a window.' For Williams, the work of a sketch artist is about transmitting the mood in the room in these moments. All of the drama should come through. 'I want people to see it like I saw it. I want them to get a sense of being there,' she says. In a sketch of Cassie Ventura walking past Combs after testifying — his former partner, turned 'victim 1' and a key witness for the prosecution — Williams managed to convey the emotional rupture between the two. 'They were like ships in the night. Ten years of intimacy, and now they might as well be on different planets,' she said. Over the decades she's been at it, the job of a sketch artist has shrunk and shifted along with the news media. Gone are the days of her mentors and first years cutting her teeth jetting around with fancy meals and expense accounts. Nowadays, she knows she has a day's work ahead if the phone rings in the morning. She admits that it is slowly becoming increasingly untenable. She is now one of only a few sketch artists covering the courts nationwide — when cameras are barred from the courtroom, they provide out only visual clues to what's unfolding. 'It doesn't pay well. It doesn't have regular hours. The news business has changed. We used to get flown all over — NBC, CBS, ABC had the budgets,' she said. 'Now? It's social media. Dilution.' Nevertheless, Williams has the temperament of a seasoned pro who wouldn't trade her front row seat to several of modern history's key moments for anything. And she's committed to documenting history in real time, one trial at a time. 'Individuals must be as pictured. You can't make stuff up. That's how I was taught,' she says. 'I want people to see it like I saw it. I want them to get a sense of being there.'

27 Dog Toys That Keep Pups Busy Indoors
A refillable dog treat dispenser toy you can fill with homemade snacks or premade Pupsicle Pops because this will keep your doggo occupied while you sit through your Zoom meetings. Promising review: "Our Lab mix has always suffered from anxiety, fear, aggression with strangers, and breaks in routine. We ordered this product after seeing several ads on our social media. He LOVES it, and so do we! Super easy to clean and refill, long-lasting, and the treat refills don't smell bad like other dog treats! Our sweet boy recently began to lose mobility in his rear end and gets super upset when he is unable to get around independently; this gives him the comfort he needs to just relax and lie down while enjoying a treat!" —Elizabeth Price: $19.99+ (available in three sizes) A level-two difficulty Hide N Slide puzzle perfect for the pup who has little to no experience with puzzles. This is a great way to introduce your dog to the world of puzzling! Promising review: "Love this! You put either kibble or bits of treats in the holes and slide over the cover. It gives my dog a challenge to find and eat the treat, and it takes her a bit of time to get all the holes emptied, yet it is very doable for them to figure it out. They move the slider cover with their nose, and I like the stimulation it gives them." —Nora Price: $11.99+ (originally $24.99) A volcano and dinosaur hide-and-seek toy your pup will have so much fun taking apart. Plus, it's also a squeaky toy, so they will have the added bonus of auditory stimulation. Promising review: "My dog loves these toys, and he was thrilled. He just kept pulling out dinosaur after dinosaur! Six of them, and all of them decently sized. This really is a great value, and the toys are very well made and adorable." —TaylorPrice: $14.99 A practically indestructible Kong chew toy you can fill with your dog's favorite treat so they can get all their energy out and enjoy a lil' snack at the same time. Promising review: "Being on the market like forever just might be the proof dog owners need to actually buy this toy. It comes in all dog sizes and has a lot of potential. For my rescue dog, it doesn't need to be stuffed with treats or peanut butter (too fattening). She loves it for the erratic bouncing action. A regular ball bores the heck out of her. Plus, she's exercising more muscle groups, trying to grab a hold of it. And the Kong is about as indestructible as they come. Buy it once and wait 'til the end of days before it wears out." —StephenPrice: $7.99+ (originally $8.99, available in six sizes) A West Paw chew toy made of a special nontoxic Zogoflex material — that is BPA-, phthalate-, and latex free — your dog will love chewing on, and that won't damage their teeth like some plastic chew toys might. Promising review: "I have five dogs. One is a pit mix who destroys all chew toys in the house and has broken teeth on toys that were too hard (more money spent at the vet). My others don't get their chewing needs met because other toys are either destroyed so quickly or removed to protect my busy pit, but THESE toys last months. They are not so hard to hurt my strong chewer's teeth, and all my dogs love them! My pups stay occupied for hours on end with these. I ordered five large and my home became the happiest home on the planet. Definitely worth the money. Also, both Chewy and West Paw have such EXCELLENT customer service that you can't go wrong. Thank you, Chewy!" —SharlsPrice: $12.95+ (available in three sizes) A variety pack of dental chews in fun shapes so your doggy can enjoy a yummy chewy experience while also getting their teeth sneakily cleaned. Promising review: "My bulldog didn't want me brushing her teeth. The vet said to try these. Now I say 'whimsey,' and my dog runs to get one! She gets one a day and loves them! And she has great teeth! I am SO happy to have found these!!!!" —ChelseaPrice: $34.77+ (originally $38.99+, available in two sizes) A knot tug that comes in an extra-large and colossal size if your doggies loves a game of tug-of-war and they've destroyed pretty much all of their other toys. Promising review: "I got this rope for my pug puppy, who loves to tear everything up since he's teething, and what a win! This is now his favorite toy. Thick, great quality, and bigger than expected." —PugcellentmommyPrice: $4.49+ (available in four sizes and assorted colors, chosen for you by Chewy) A baseball stadium hide-and-seek toy so your doggy can practice their detective skills. Hide the balls around the yard and watch your furry bestie track them down and bring them back. Promising review: "My dogs have enjoyed all of their Frisco toys, and this one has been especially fun. Love that the baseballs can be hidden for hide and seek but also roll for a good game of fetch. Seeing him leap and twist in the air to catch the baseball with his mouth has been so much fun! Once they chew it to pieces, I will definitely rebuy it if it's still available." —Chewy ReviewerPrice: $12.99 An engaging jumbler ball if your dog has seemingly endless energy (but you don't). This will surely tire him out and give you a second to just ~chill out.~ Promising review: "Toy is entertaining, nice squeaker. Our German shepherd plays with this for hours. The toy is challenging to pick up and carry. All of which helps our high energy German shepherd burn off energy." —TracyPrice: $16.99+ (originally $19.99+; available in two sizes) A plush picnic basket with four stuffed toys, squeakers, and crinkles — how can your dog NOT love playing with this?! Promising review: "An immediate hit with my pup right out of the box, who's all about crinkly squeaky toys. Plus, the basket is durable enough to play tug with and will be a good place to stash some treats for her to sniff out. Incredibly noisy, but she's delighted, and this will easily keep her entertained while I'm at work." —Quinn Price: $14.99+ (available in two sizes; available in four additional styles) A rubber football treat dispenser that's bouncy, durable, and is sure to get you a touchdown for being the best dog parent in the whole world. A hide-and-seek hedgehog puzzle with three squeaky plushies your pup will have so much fun digging in to get the little furry pals to come out of their den. A large and tough treat-dispensing chew ball if you may spoil your pup a little too much by giving them treats constantly. With this, they'll have to actually work to get to the treats! (Also, I just have to say there is no such thing as spoiling your dog too much.) Promising review: "We use this every day (sometimes two times a day) to feed our 10-month-old puppy his breakfast. It takes him about 30 minutes to eat 1 cup of kibble from it as we did not trim anything in the holes to make it easier. He loves his 'breakfast ball' and it works great as a slow feeder/mental stimulation/keeps him occupied while we get ready. Such a great toy!!!" —GusPrice: $8.96+ (originally $10.99+, available in three sizes) A Wobble Wag Giggle ball made of durable pet-safe vinyl that makes super weird noises that, yes, can be extremely annoying, but your pup will loooove it. This is great to leave for your dog when you're out for the day so they don't get bored (and you don't have to be annoyed by the noises). Promising review: "My husky loves this toy. It's become his favorite. He sometimes gets frustrated when the kids aren't around, so he takes out his emotions on it, or when he's happy to see someone, he'll bring the toy. I play fight with him, and he loves it. He has stopped digging the yard also since this will keep him entertained. He is unable to break the toy, but he can grab it. I'd say it's for big dogs." —Chewy reviewerPrice: $9.58 (originally $14.99) A scientist-themed strategy game if you feel like your doggy is secretly an evil genius, and they could use a little extra stimulation so they can work through all their evil plans. A puppy tire that'll get your furry pal tired as they attempt to get the treats out of the built-in treat dispenser — or from the long walks you're taking them on! Promising review: "This is a favorite treat dispenser and chew toy for our 3-month-old puppy. It is easy to load with treats, and I usually stuff it with two different kinds, so it takes Oliver longer to get them all out. Plus, he loves playing with it even when it is empty. He loves to play fetch with it, too. It is just the right size for him, and it seems to help with his teething." —WendyPrice: $7.99+ (originally $8.99, available in two sizes) A set of plush toys featuring all your favorite fast food staples because even though your dog really shouldn't eat fast food, they can still play with it, right? Promising review: "Perfect Christmas gift for my 8-year-old boxer/pit mix (his FAVORITE food is a burger). He took each toy carefully out of the box, and carried them around, and hid them in his bed. Very good quality and soft for his mouth. I was so happy to find these for him!!" —CatLadyPrice: $47.72 (originally $56.90) And a Toy Story aliens rope toy so your dog can feel like "The Claw" from the movie. And look how freaking CUTE these little guys are! Promising review: "Our pug loves this toy!! He brings it over every evening to play tug. He lost interest in his regular rope toys fairly quickly, but still loves this one after six months." —LauraPrice: $10.99 A pet toy duo that includes a Goofy tug toy and a Pluto squeaky bottle toy — perfect if you're a Disney adult and you want your puppy to join in on the magic. Promising review: "My labrador retriever loves these toys. Goofy with the pull rope is perfect for tag with my other dog. And the Pluto bottle is great entertainment for her." —janicePrice: $20.88 (originally $21.98) A sliding sushi-themed puzzle for the dog who is super restless and gets bored easily. This will keep them occupied long enough for you to maybe even get some work done of your own! Promising review: "Our dog quickly figured out how to get treats out of this puzzle toy, but it is so handy because he loves it, and it calms him and occupies him whenever we leave. Love this!" —LinmarpiePrice: $18.46 (originally $20.34) A roller dog toy perfect for some indoor activity. It's soft, so your dog can play with it inside without accidentally breaking anything fragile. Promising review: "Very well made. My five dogs love it. It's durable, and it can withstand tug-of-war games. Plan to purchase more really soon." —Chewy ReviewerPrice: $6.56 (originally $12.99) A treat-dispensing ball because this will keep your pup busy while you're trying to send out emails that have been on your to-do list for days. Promising review: "Our pet enjoys this ball every day. He begs for this toy in the morning like clockwork. It keeps him busy getting the treats out one by one." —GeraldPrice: $9.28 (originally $11.99) A trio of stuffing-less toys since your pup inevitably destroys every toy you give them and your apartment ends up covered in stuffing. Promising review: "I thought our labs would have these pulled apart minutes after getting these. They are thin and smaller than expected. are strong, and they have not pulled the squeaker out yet!! They tug on them and swing them around, and they have held up wonderfully!!" —MardiPrice: $12.39 (originally $19.99) A durable set of rope toys because you have two dogs and they can keep themselves occupied by playing with these together. It includes a set of five rope toys for small and medium review: "I was very happy to have a number of these chew toys in one purchase for a good price. They're sturdy and hold up, and happily, they give my 10-month-old puppy something sturdy to chew on instead of the furniture! Thank you!" —KathleenPrice: $12.99 for a set of five (originally $13.99) A plush cactus toy with another toy stuffed inside of it, so your pup can destroy not one, but two toys for the price of one while you're just trying to cook dinner! Promising review: "My 6-month-old pup absolutely loves this toy! She flails it around all over the house. So far, she has not managed to rip it open. (Not sure if she ever will.) But it has stood the test of her puppy teeth!" —TerriPrice: $13.99 (available in two sizes) A soccer ball with straps so it's super easy for your dog to carry around the house. She'll love chewing on this thing and tossing it across your living room. Promising review: "Golden retriever loves his soccer ball and definitely loves playing with it inside the house! Well made and the straps make it easy to grab rather than trying to put the whole ball in his mouth." —ValeriePrice: $12.49 (originally $13.99) An easy-hold Nylabone dental chew toy that's easy for your doggy to hold onto while they gnaw away to their heart's content. And it'll help their breathe smell better! Promising review: "My heavy chewer puppy (8 months old) uses this as one of her favorite toys, and it lasts better than most." —AldenPrice: $8.99+ (originally $13.29, available in two sizes)
