For the daytime engagement on the Croisette, the team was dressed in a range of attire evoking summer in the Mediterranean energy. Bassett selected a peach-hued ensemble from American luxury label Yara Shoemaker, a brand founded by the eponymous Syrian-born and U.S.-raised designer in 2019.

Bassett dressed up in Look 14 — also worn by Blake Lively in March — from the brand's fall 2023 collection. The set includes a pair of salmon-hued straight-leg pants and an overcoat adorned with small lustrous discs layered beneath a pearl and accompanied by graduated crystals. The actress accompanied the look with a white bustier top. As for Bassett's shoes, a pair of pointed-toe silver platform block heels peeked out beneath her pants. Her accessories included a dainty layered pearl necklace.
Bassett's costar Hannah Waddingham, meanwhile, wore a dress from Elie Saab, much like Cannes' dress code rule breaker Heidi Klum. While Klum wore a pink ruffled dress with a dramatic train for the event's opening ceremony, Waddingham showcased a strapless midi dress from the brand's spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection embroidered with a lush floral scene. The colorful design makes use of sequins and yarn for a complex textural aesthetic. Elie Saab found inspiration for the collection in 'Out of Africa,' the 1985 film starring Meryl Streep.
Cruise, who has starred in the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise since 1996, opted for a monochrome look, donning burgundy trousers and a fitted knit collared top. Pom Klementieff modeled an asymmetrical beige dress and Hayley Atwell showcased a crisp white outfit featuring a skirt with a feathery layer.
'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' is slated to hit theaters on May 23.

Couple Quoted $500 for Dog's Sedated Nail Trim, Come up With Hilarious Plan
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When a couple were quoted a hefty $500 by their veterinarian for a sedated pet nail trim, they decided to take matters—and clippers—into their own hands, one paw at a time. The dog's owner, known as @lilkittyrose on TikTok, shared a short video to the platform on May 5, jokingly implying that the pair will be trimming their pets' nails themselves, one nail at a time. An overlaid text on the clip added more context: "Our vet quoted us $500 for a sedated nail trim…1 nail per nap it is," while the caption read: "My poor baby." Viewers on TikTok were able to see a man carefully trimming the dog's claw while they snoozed soundly beneath a blanket on the couch. Since it was posted, the 15-second clip has been viewed over 4.1 million times and has racked up more than 534,000 likes, with plenty of TikTok users chiming in with laughter, sympathy, and similar stories. "CVT [certified veterinary technician] here! If you can do this, DO IT! This is one of the best ways to reduce stress [and] anxiety for nail trims," one viewer said. "One toe at a time, don't force it, don't rush. "Over time you may be able to do more than one toe, before you know it you'll be trimming a whole paw! Definitely a treat after too, keep up the fantastic parenting guys." "$30 hanging harness from Amazon, trust," another added. "I have to feed my Rottweiler a baby carrot per nail so he's too busy snacking to get mad," a third viewer said. "Buy a second pair of clippers and you each do one so you can get two at a time," another added. "$500 is way too expensive, ask at another place," another said. The video's runaway popularity highlights a growing sentiment among American pet owners: veterinary care is becoming prohibitively expensive. The price of urban veterinarian services rose by 7.6 percent between 2023 and 2024, with states like Maine and Georgia seeing the sharpest increase in veterinary costs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Findings from Florida-based pet insurance company Spot Pet found that Maine saw a 21 percent rise in veterinary costs between 2023 and 2024, while Georgia followed closely with a 20 percent rise. Newsweek reached out to @lilkittyrose for more information via TikTok. A stock image of a pet owner trimming their dog's paws at home. A stock image of a pet owner trimming their dog's paws at home.

Northbrook Symphony leans toward classical, with some contemporary, as it celebrates 45 years
Music will fill the Sunset Ridge Country Club in Northfield on June 19 when the Northbrook Symphony Orchestra celebrates the conclusion of its 45th season with its annual gala, 'American Songbook.' Robbie Ellis, the on-air announcer for radio station WFMT, will emcee and serve as the orchestra's preconcert speaker, according to Highland Park resident Steven Greene, who is in his third year as president of the orchestra's board of directors. 'He's both a pianist and a singer,' Greene said. 'For our benefit, he's taking a bunch of Tom Lehrer songs and rewording them to the current day and adding a bit about Northbrook Symphony.' Lehrer is an American songwriter known for penning lyrics that were frequently satirical. A string quintet from the Northbrook Symphony Orchestra will also perform. In addition, several students will speak about their experience of getting musical instruments from the orchestra's Instrument Drive, in which the orchestra collects musical instruments for underserved music students in Waukegan Public Schools, working with Bravo Waukegan. There will also be a silent auction and raffle. The Northbrook Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1980 by former Chicago Symphony concertmaster Samuel Magad. The current music director, Mina Zikri, who was a violinist with the orchestra starting in 2002, began leading the orchestra in the 2019-20 season. 'We have five or six concerts a year,' Zikri said. Sometimes, the family concert is part of the season; other times it's the sixth concert. This year's family concert, on Aug. 24, will be 'Mozart's Magnificent Voyage.' All of the concerts are performed at Sheely Center for the Performing Arts, 2300 Shermer Road in Northbrook. 'Because we play less concerts, we tend to do the classical favorites,' Zikri said. 'I tend to stay away from experimental compositions and contemporary, even though we do offer them because we owe it to our audiences to inform them and perform for them what's happening in the world. I try to do this in reasonable doses.' Board President Greene noted that, for the last two seasons, the orchestra's final program has been focused on a particular event, composer or culture. 'At the end of our 22-23 season, we presented a program called 'The Violins of Hope,'' Greene said. That refers to a collection of stringed instruments played by Jewish musicians before and during World War II. Prior to the concerts, there was a presentation of those instruments in the lobby. 'We had tremendous attendance from people very interested in this unique collection of instruments,' Greene said. 'And, for the concert, some of our musicians played on those instruments. It was a very moving experience for a lot of our concertgoers.' At the end of the 2023-24 season, Greene reported, the Orchestra performed 'Fiesta Mexicana,' a celebration of the music culture of Mexico. The Northbrook Symphony played classical Mexican music, folk band Sones de Mexico Ensemble played Mexican folk music, and there was also a mariachi band and a dancer. Clarinetist Ilya Shterenberg and 55 musicians were scheduled for a June 8 concert of Tchaikovsky's 'Symphony No. 4.' Between 45 and 65 musicians perform at each concert. 'It depends on the repertoire,' Zikri explained. 'The string section composes two-thirds of the orchestra. The other third is split between woodwinds, brass and percussions.' Although the Northbrook Symphony began as a community orchestra, Zikri noted, it is now 100% professional. 'I have personally focused on young professionals,' he added. Principal Cellist Daniel Klingler joined the Northbrook Symphony Orchestra 12 years ago at the request of a previous musical director, Lawrence Rapchak. 'One of the reasons I had a lot of interest in joining the orchestra was they played a little off-the-beaten track repertoire,' Klingler explained. 'Having been a professional freelancer and having played in orchestras for many years, a lot of the repertoire was repeated. I was interested in playing with an orchestra that was playing music that wasn't being played that often.' Although the repertoire has changed to more traditional selections under Conductor Zikri, Klingler enjoys the fact that 'a lot of the members of the orchestra are friends so it has a really comfortable feeling of making music with your friends. And I feel like the Northbrook community has a lot of pride in their orchestra, as I feel they should.' There are currently eight members on the orchestra's board of directors, with two more scheduled to be added shortly. The bylaws of the organization allow a dozen board members. Greene said, 'In years past, when we had a general manager, we just provided broad oversight.' Since the general manager left six or seven years ago and wasn't replaced, 'the board has gotten more involved in operational control of the symphony,' Greene said. That has become 'unwieldy' for the board, Greene said, so they are currently planning to hire a general manager or an executive director. Currently, the board spends a lot of time planning events like the upcoming June 19 gala, since fundraising is one of its vital responsibilities. The board hires an outside person to work on grant-writing with them. 'Grants are an essential part of all fundraising,' Greene said. 'Right now, about 25% of our annual revenue is from ticket sales; the rest is from grants and individual donors.' Tickets to the 6 p.m. June 19 gala at Sunset Ridge Country Club, 2100 Sunset Ridge Rd. in Northfield, are $150. Find details at or 847-272-0755.

The Highlights and Events of Couture 2025 Nurture Relationships and Celebrate Design Excellence
Couture, the preeminent trade show for fine and high jewelry and timepieces in the U.S., returns to Wynn Las Vegas hosting a mix of designers, buyers, influencers and executives, all eager to take in the curated selection of fine jewelry that will set the trends for the rest of 2025 and beyond. With approximately 300 brands from across the globe partaking in the annual event, Couture expects 4,000 members of the jewelry and watch industry to walk the show floor from June 4 to June 8. This year sees the return of an upgraded Couture app to help guests better organize their experience. 'We are finally bringing our show into this century!' joked Gannon Brousseau, director, Couture and executive vice president, Emerald. 'But in all seriousness, while this is definitely a more traditional industry, our community has been pushing us to launch an app for quite a while.' More from WWD Get to Know the Couture Show Design Atelier Freshman Class of 2025 Charm Offensive Pasquale Bruni Channels Renewal and Mindfulness in New 'Luce' Collection Brousseau explained that their goal was to make sure they had the right platform that would create a seamless experience for everyone in attendance, 'so we're definitely leaning into the app more this year.' In addition to being a convenient way to have all event information, salon listings and floor plans, the 2025 app is capable of facilitating appointment bookings. 'And it's useful for us to be able to send push notifications with important reminders,' he said. Each year, Couture showcases the full breadth of fine jewelry, including everyday staples and classics to collectible and avant-garde one-of-a-kind showstoppers. 'We are really looking for best-in-class designers and brands across all categories,' Brousseau said of the mix. 'We seek the originators of designs and ideas, and we are constantly on the lookout for new, rising star talent as well as heritage brands that may be a fit for the show.' The show team curates the show intentionally small. 'We have to be extremely thoughtful about every brand that exhibits with us and ensure that their designs showcase a unique, singular point of view,' he said. At its core, the show is built around community and relationships — a key point of difference for the annual event with its reunion-like feel. 'While we've experienced some significant changes in the last decade, like moving from our legacy space into our current location, I think our evolution is a bit more esoteric,' the executive said. 'The qualities that made this show so unique when I first attended in 2011 are not only still very much present, they're also even more apparent. I don't know how they do it, but our designers and brands outdo themselves every year with the collections they showcase. As a result, our retailers have become even more invested and engaged with our brands and our attending media has grown even more enthusiastic about covering our event.' Kicking off with an advanced preview of the show and an opening night event on Wednesday, Couture continues to highlight engaging topics affecting the industry with the Couturetalks series. 'We re-introduced Couturetalks in 2019 and they were very well received,' he said. Following the pandemic, it took them time to bring it back in full force, 'but we're doing that this year! We have moved the sessions from our breakfast and lunch areas into the Convention Center Lounge so that all badge-holders can attend.' This year's lineup covers relevant topics like sourcing, traceability and IP strategies, juxtaposed with more lighthearted and engaging sessions like origins of design and retail therapy. 'We were very intentional in putting together this year's Couturetalks lineup. We have thought leadership sessions that cover relevant and top-of-mind subjects such as tariffs, technology in the retail space and transparency and traceability in diamonds and jewelry.' Other sessions 'that we know will have some great takeaways' include romance jewelry history at the retail level and trend forecasting. Running concurrently to Couture, the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show will set up shop at the Wynn, with all Couture attendees having access. The show is an exclusive opportunity for sourcing antique, vintage and estate jewelry and timepieces from esteemed dealers hailing from across the globe, right in line with modern jewelry retailers that now include vintage one-of-a-kind pieces into their sales mix. The strategically curated event features jewelry from titans of the industry such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, David Webb and Verdura, as well as unsigned, one-of-a-kind period pieces from the Georgian through retro eras. Visitors will also discover pre-owned and vintage watches from brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier and Audemars Piguet, allowing buyers to source difficult-to-find items from trusted, pre-owned luxury timepiece dealers. The show comes at a time of economic uncertainty across the fine jewelry industry with ever-changing tariffs in the U.S. market and a downturn in spending for the luxury market. 'The best way we can support our community right now is by staying in constant communication, listen to their concerns and respond accordingly,' Brousseau said of the current climate. 'As an example, one of our Couturetalks sessions will cover the topic of tariffs with a focus on how our industry can protect themselves and stay compliant. 'Our designers and brands are the most innovative in the world, and I have no doubt that they will come up with unique ways to maintain the quality, beauty and value of their work while also ensuring its desirability.' Brousseau says he anticipates this year's show will see 'new materials, new ways of manipulating gold to create a big look without all of the weight, and I suspect we'll see more platinum incorporated into designs,' as ways to deal with material costs rising. 'Ultimately, the United States remains the strongest market in the world for fine jewelry. Even during times of economic or political strife, the category as a whole traditionally maintains its stronghold, whether for reasons of sentimentality or investment. People have been adorning themselves for millennia, and they will continue to do so,' he said. The event culminates with design awards — open to all exhibitors — where attendees celebrate the best of the best of the show. The awards brings together a unique panel of judges that includes two retailers, two members of the press and one designer — all are announced on stage at the event. Attending retailers vote on the People's Choice Award, narrowing the category down to three contenders, with the winner decided by a live text-to-vote. The evening will also include the announcement of this year's Cindy Edelstein Award recipient, which is presented to a demonstrated leader in the Couture community who is dedicated to the success of brands and an inspiration to others through an enthusiastic attitude and unabated vitality. 'The judging process for our Design Awards is extremely rigorous. We put together a unique panel of judges each year who meticulously review all of the submissions before establishing the winners and finalists in each category. I think to receive that kind of recognition for a designer at any stage of their career can be extremely rewarding. We also get great press coverage of the event, from both attending media and publications that are not present at our event, and our designers and brands are great about promoting their own wins to their clients and followers,' he said. 'While we don't want to necessarily take credit for any one example, it has been exciting to see so many of the names rise to prominence globally.' Brousseau said it is the designers, retailers and press that really make the show 'a distinctive and essential event. For many of our brands, Couture is the only show in which they participate each year, and they are not sending one of their representatives, it is the designers and company decision makers themselves that are in attendance. The majority of our retailers and press never 'leave campus' when they're in Las Vegas; they prefer to spend all of their time at Couture. It might seem like a small thing, but everyone genuinely likes one another! Designers support other designers and celebrate their successes, retailers share their ideas and best practices with each other, it's just a kinder, gentler part of the industry and it's an honor to be aligned with this community.'
