Selena Gomez rocks fresh-faced look during date with fiancé Benny Blanco and their two new BFFs
Selena Gomez went makeup-free for a dinner date with fiancé Benny Blanco on Friday night in Los Angeles. The 33-year-old multihyphenate —who sizzled in pink lingerie in her latest Instagram post — was very dressed down for the outing as she stepped out in a long black robe and matching slippers. The former child star pulled her dark hair into a fuss-free bun as she flashed her huge engagement ring. Meanwhile, the 37-year-old music producer was clad in a short-sleeved, baby blue, button-up shirt. He added a pair of loose-fitting beige trousers, finishing the look with black and white sneakers with burgundy shoelaces. And Benny was seen sporting his signature dark curly 'fro. It comes after Selena included a snapshot of the couple dining with Logan Lerman and his fiancée Analuisa Corrigan via Instagram on Friday. The group enjoyed quality time over a seafood spread that included oysters and prawns. The pop star's husband-to-be commented on the post, 'Wait … I'm gonna marry u.' Last month the Only Murders in the Building actress used her Rare Beauty brand's TikTok account to spill details about the food she hopes to serve on her wedding day. 'My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy,' The Texas native revealed. 'My Nana's biscuits and gravy. That sounds like dessert to me.' She also said in the undated video: 'Whenever that day comes, I do know I don't want a big cake.' Selena added, 'I think I'd want a mini one, for just us, that we can freeze.' The lovebirds confirmed their relationship in December 2023, with the pair getting engaged a year later. 'Forever starts now,' Selena wrote at the time, showing off her sparkling diamond ring. Benny popped the question with a ring worth an estimated $1M. Selena previously admitted she's planning to ditch the classic bride and groom dance at their reception because she's too shy. 'I don't think we're looking at having one of those 'cause they're a little — I feel embarrassed,' she said on an episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware. While there won't be a traditional first dance, the singer said she's making room for a deeply meaningful moment — a special dance with her grandfather. 'He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle,' she shared. 'I wanted to give [my grandfather] the opportunity to have that.'

Topshop relaunch: will it be today's teen dream like it was for my generation?
Topshop's seven-year absence from the runway – and teenage hearts – was brought to an end on Saturday with a comeback show in Trafalgar Square. The stardust was there as before: supermodel Cara Delevingne attended, having hand-picked 40 pieces from a new autumn/winter 2025 collection. Skinny jeans, and accompanying nostalgia, were also in full effect. The show featured a preview of pieces set to drop later in the season, which would once have sent a buzz of excitement rippling through crowds of teenage girls and ascending all the way to the fashion elite. Today? Well, it's complicated. Almost five years after its then parent company, Sir Philip Green's Arcadia, collapsed into administration, new standalone stores are promised too, though no date has yet been given for the brand's bricks and mortar return. All of which news may prompt still more wistfulness among what used to be its target audience. Because, for a large cohort of British women, Topshop is all about the memories. If you happened to be young and female in the Nineties or first half of the Noughties, Topshop almost certainly formed a backdrop to at least some part of your life. Its centrepiece was that palace of dreams that the flagship Oxford Circus branch represented. For young, excitable shoppers brimming with optimism, enjoying their first adolescent independence and a little bit of cash, descending the escalators into the extensive bowels of the store meant entering a world where you could be magicked into a better, more fashionable version of yourself. 'As someone growing up in a small town, the Oxford Circus Topshop was the holy grail of cool,' recalls one 40-something-year-old friend. 'A fountain of possibility, it was always where we gravitated to.' For those of us raised in the North of England, like me, it wasn't quite the same. Model agency scouts did not, to my knowledge, frequent the main Leeds city centre branch where I browsed on Saturdays during my teens – only 30-odd miles to the north of where the brand started its life in the basement of a Sheffield store in 1964. Kate Moss never stood in the window in Leeds as she did in the Oxford Circus branch in 2007, to launch her first Topshop collection. Yet even for those of us coming of age in the provinces, our local Topshop was still a destination and not merely a shop. It wasn't like going to BHS or M&S with your mum to choose a suitable jumper or school skirt. It was where you went when you were old enough to take a bus into town with your friends (in my case, I had just turned 12) and enjoy an afternoon of heady, unchaperoned freedom. As I grew older and taller, the best thing about Topshop was its thoughtful Tall section, to my mind the true unsung hero of the brand. Here, as in few other stores, I could finally find jeans that were long enough and yet simultaneously fashionable. If daydreams of self-transformation lie at the heart of the experience of the teenage girl or young woman, then Topshop knew how to tap into this better than anyone. It did so by straddling various apparent divides, with an offer that was at once affordable and aspirational; associating itself with the likes of Moss and Beyoncé (whose Topshop line crashed the store's website in 2016) but also being very much high street rather than haute couture. 'Topshop is one of those brands that maintains a cachet across shoppers who really remember it and have such strong memories of it not just as a shop but also as a rite of passage and part of an exciting stage of their life, and shoppers who have never ever shopped there but are romanced by stories of the past,' says retail analyst Catherine Shuttleworth, the chief executive and founder of marketing agency Savvy. If it captured the cultural zeitgeist in the late Nineties and Noughties, just as Biba did in the Swinging Sixties, this owed much to the vision of Jane Shepherdson, its brand director from 1998 to 2007. During her tenure, annual profits jumped from £9 million to £100 million. Although Topshop had established itself as a standalone store by the mid-1970s, it wasn't until 1994 – following two decades of growth – that its flagship store opened on Oxford Street in London. Spread over three floors and 90,000 square feet, it boasted not only clothes – rails and rails of them, as far as the eye could see – but a nail bar and DJ booth. In 1997, the Burton group to which it belonged, restructured into the Arcadia group, which was bought for £850 million by Sir Philip Green in 2002. During Topshop's Noughties heyday, the retail magnate could be spotted with Moss and American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour in the front row at London Fashion Week. But the future held a fall for both Sir Philip and, to a lesser extent, Topshop. In 2018, Sir Philip was named in the House of Lords by Labour peer Lord Hain as the businessman who had an injunction to prevent him from being identified in relation to MeToo allegations revealed by The Telegraph – allegations which Green 'categorically and wholly' denied. His Arcadia group collapsed in 2020, during the pandemic. All of Topshop's stores shut not long afterwards. The following year, the brand was bought by the online-only fashion retailer Asos, which has continued to sell Topshop items. Half a decade later, remembrance of chain stores past – and for what they said about how we lived – remains irresistible. Can Topshop recapture its glory days? 'I was a mad Topshop fan in the Nineties but I probably wouldn't shop there now because my idea of what I want out of fashion has changed,' says one fashion insider. 'I'm not partying any more. I want things for work. I want to be sustainable.' Many like her now turn to Vinted to seek out second-hand bargains online, while click-happy, quick-scrolling younger shoppers look to the fast fashion likes of Shein and PrettyLittleThing. 'The landscape has changed and Topshop doesn't really fit into it,' says the insider. Shuttleworth is more optimistic. 'The great news for Toshop is that we are still talking about it,' she says. 'The question of course will be can likes turn into sales? It would appear that if the current level of excitement can be converted, Topshop will have a bright future.'

Trailblazing Down syndrome model Ellie Goldstein, Drag Race star La Voix and rugby player Chris Robshaw are announced as the latest contestants for Strictly Come Dancing
Trailblazing model and influencer Ellie Goldstein, Drag Race star La Voix and rugby player Chris Robshaw have been confirmed as the seventh, eighth and ninth contestants for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing. The three celebrities confirmed their participation in an announcement shared on Wednesday's edition of The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2. Ellie is a model, actress and influencer who became the first model with Down syndrome to grace the cover of British Vogue. Additionally she has featured in campaigns for Gucci, Adidas and Victoria's Secret, while maintaining an ambassadorship for the learning disability charity Mencap. She said: 'I'm absolutely over the moon to be joining the cast and pros of Strictly Come Dancing this year. 'It's a show I've loved watching for so long, and the chance to now be part of it feels like a dream. 'I know it's going to be challenging, but I'm ready to do it with the glitter and glamour and make some magic on that dancefloor. Let the Strictly journey begin!' When Ellie was born, doctors said that she would 'never walk or talk', and one nurse devastatingly suggested that her parents Yvonne and Mark might want to 'leave her' at the hospital. But she has defied all expectations since her birth in December 2001, making history as the first model with Down's syndrome to feature in major international campaigns. Her mother Yvonne previously told how Ellie wanted to be famous from the age of two and her 'outgoing' and 'bubbly' personality has helped her achieve all her dreams. Ellie has been flown to Sweden, Italy and Germany for photoshoots, and strutted her stuff on the catwalk at London Fashion Week. Ellie was also the first model with Down's syndrome to ever appear in a campaign for Gucci and has become a very sought-after name in the fashion industry. She graced the cover of Glamour UK at the age of 18 in an edition which honoured the new faces shaking up fashion and proving it can be inclusive. Ellie was also involved in helping Mattel to launch its first ever Barbie with Down syndrome and helped to promote the doll after its release. The model and influencer posed for photographers outside BBC studios on Wednesday Joining Ellie on the Strictly line-up, La Voix said in a statement: 'I've performed for royalty, RuPaul and Simon Cowell, but nothing fills me with more excitement (and quite a bit of terror) than the thought of dancing in front of millions on live Saturday night TV. 'Strictly is a national institution and I can't wait to get started. All that's left to say is: good luck to my partner! Here's hoping they can help me go from La Voix into La Danse.' Chris admitted he was stepping well out of his "comfort zone" by signing up for the show. He commented: 'This is about as far out of my comfort zone as it gets! I'm hoping to take my dad dancing to a whole new level, and my mum can't wait to drag me along to her Zumba class. 'Let's see if a rugby sidestep works in the Cha Cha Cha.' The announcement comes after George Clarke was named as the sixth celebrity contestant to take part in the show. The YouTuber and podcaster will enter the famous ballroom when Strictly returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this September. George Clarke, also known as George Clarkey, is a British YouTuber, podcaster and social media star known to millions online. Born and raised in the UK, George began experimenting with video content as a teenager, quickly discovering the power of humour and honesty to connect with people around the world. Since then he has built a thriving digital career with millions of followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, drawn to his authenticity and sharp comedic voice. He also co-hosts The Useless Hotline Podcast, which has proven so popular it has led to a series of live shows across the UK. On joining Strictly Come Dancing, George said: 'Never thought I'd say this… but I'm doing Strictly! Honestly, I've got no idea what I'm doing but I'm excited to get stuck in … and potentially fall over a fair bit.' The news was revealed on BBC Radio 1's Going Home Drivetime Show this afternoon. George has built up a huge following on TikTok with an impressive 152million fans and has 679 thousand on Instagram. He is also often seen teaming up with TikToker Max Balegde as the pair host their podcast together. Hours before, EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal was announced as the fifth contestant to join Strictly 2025 line-up. The actress, 46, who plays Suki Panesar on the BBC soap, was revealed as a cast member live on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday morning. Balvinder will join a Love Island winner, Doctor Who star and a footballing legend, all of whom were recently revealed as the latest three stars confirmed to take part in Strictly. Sharing her joy at being part of the show, Balvinder said: 'Being on Strictly is a dream that I held on to, with no proof that it would ever happen. 'Working on EastEnders and being a part of Strictly Come Dancing is the stuff that dreams are made of. I'm far too excited to put into words how I feel but I'm incredibly excited at the prospect of dancing across the ballroom.' Meanwhile the actress, who was speaking to GMB's Richard Arnold from the EastEnders set, told how she had 'dabbled' in dancing in the past but is unsure is she'd actually be 'any good' once on the dancefloor. She explained: 'I can't stop butterflies. Every time I think about it, they just go, so, yeah. 'I dabbled a little bit. I did ballroom and Latin as a kind of hobby, and I really love it. And I think when you've got a passion for something, you're naturally kind of inclined to enjoy it. 'So I'll definitely enjoy it. I don't know if I'll be any good!' Balvinder, who has had a successful acting career spanning theatre, radio, film and television, first joined EastEnders back in 2019. During her six years in Walford, she has been part of a number of gripping storylines including Suki's affair with now-wife Eve Unwin, being part of 'The Six' and her turbulent relationship with villainous husband Nish. Prior to stepping foot on Albert Square, Balvinder made appearances in several huge dramas including Call The Midwife, Doctors and Waterloo Road. Meanwhile, former Love Island winner Dani Dyer, 29, actress Alex Kingston, 62, and sportsman Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, 53, will also take to the dance floor this year, The One Show announced on Monday night. They follow Olympian and Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, who was the first star announced. The daughter of acting legend Danny Dyer, who wed husband Jarrod Bowen this year, shot to fame in 2018 on the ITV2 dating show when she bagged the £50,000 prize with Jack Fincham. Dani said: 'Getting the opportunity to be on Strictly is the second most amazing thing I've done this year! 'I feel very very blessed and cannot wait to get my dancing shoes on.' Doctor Who's Alex notably appeared in US drama ER from 1997 to 2005 alongside George Clooney. She also took on a recurring role in Doctor Who, playing River Song - the love interest of Matt Smith's incarnation of the Doctor and the daughter of Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill). Alex briefly reprised her role during Peter Capaldi's stint on the BBC sci-fi show and has also leant her voice to a number of audio releases in the franchise. Alex has previously spoken about her desire to sign up for Strictly, revealing she and her close friend Sarah Hadland - who competed last year - had discussed it. 'Sarah Hadland and I talked about how much we'd like to do Strictly Come Dancing,' she said in 2019. 'Then I discovered she's a trained ballet dancer. "Hang on a minute! That's not fair!" So, I can't do it on a season when she is on it!' Speaking to hosts Roman Kemp and Alex Scott about her upcoming stint, the actress teased: 'My hips don't lie.' Meanwhile, former Chelsea and Netherlands striker and ex England coach said he's looking forward to the challenge. He said: 'Swapping the pitch for the ballroom is certainly not something I've done before but I'm looking forward to tackling a fun challenge! 'Bring on a new type of footwork, with hopefully no own goals.' The father-of-four was a professional player with Leeds and Middlebrough for two decades before he retied in 2008. Aikines-Aryeetey, known for his alter-ego Nitro, was the first celebrity revealed to taking part in the new series, after competing on the Christmas Special last year. His involvement was revealed in a prank to CBBC Newsround viewers, after the BBC had previously said the first stars taking part would be revealed much later in the day. Flexing his reputation as a star of Gladiators: Epic Pranks, Aikines-Aryeetey, 36, appeared live in the Newsround studio disguised as 'world-famous choreographer Nicky Trott', there to talk about his recent work on a scientific study into the benefits of dancing. His disguise was not enough to fool Newsround presenter Jenny Lawrence though, who quickly rumbled who she was really talking to. Aikines-Aryeetey then gave the real reason he was there: to tell the world he's taking part in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing! Aikines-Aryeetey is an Olympian, multi-gold-medal-winning Team GB sprinter, and star of Gladiators. As a sprinter he has competed at the highest level in the UK since his youth, becoming the first athlete to win gold medals at both 100 and 200 metres at the World Youth Championships, and winning the 2005 BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award aged 17. Aikines-Aryeetey has gone on to win gold in the 4x100m relay at the European Championships and at the Commonwealth Games. He has competed in two Olympic games and is a three-time European Champion and two-time Commonwealth Champion. In 2023, Aikines-Aryeetey was unveiled as Nitro in the hit BBC series Gladiators, and he took part in last year's Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special partnered with Nancy Xu. On joining Strictly Come Dancing, Aikines-Aryeetey said: 'After the Christmas Special, it was so nice I just had to do it twice! I'm so excited to be part of the Strictly family this series and I'm ready to give it all I've got. 'I'll be bringing tons of energy to light up the dance floor. Let's hope I'm as quick picking up the routines as I am on the track.' On Sunday it was reported that Natalie Imbruglia and Delta Goodrem are 'in negotiations' to take part in the show. A new report suggested the two Australian stars are both in talks to appear while another former Neighbours star - Stefan Dennis - is also said to be in the running. A source told The Sun: 'Talks are at a point where things could go in a number of different directions but if both celebrities signed up then that would be seen as quite a coup for the show. 'Delta and Natalie would bring some glamour to the programme, and be some of this year's most eagerly anticipated competitors. 'If all three former Neighbours stars end up performing, the Strictly dance floor will end up looking more like Ramsay Street.' Strictly's new series has been hit by a string of scandals in the lead-up to its return, including revelations that the broadcaster had hired a law firm to probe allegations of drug taking by two individuals. One of the stars involved in the drugs probe was also suspected of drinking while working on the show after crew smelt alcohol on their breath. The Sun alleged that it was widely known that the pair, who have not been named, took the Class A substance, and that one of these Strictly performers was known for being a drinker. The publication have now reported that junior members of the team were asked to keep an eye on them during last year's show and to look for signs that they may have been boozing during work hours. Over the weekend, a staffer also claimed they were offered cocaine by one of the show's stars. He told The Sun: 'The main partying is on site at Elstree after filming of the live show has finished. Boozing and drug taking goes on until 3am, sometimes 4am. The smoking area outside is a hive of activity. Cocaine gets taken there'. He went on to claim that drug use was so common on the show, that when he found a suspicious bag of white powder, an unfazed senior producer told him to 'leave it on my desk' as the incident failed to raise even an eyebrow. The staff member also said the show's annual special filmed at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom was an especially 'big party night' full of debauchery. 'I was offered cocaine by a star at an after show party. Lots of people would go back to the hotel. It was a closed-off party, just for the cast and crew. It went on until 5am, even to 6am, it was insane. People were wired and you could see it in their eyes'. A BBC spokesperson told Daily Mail: 'We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further.' The shock allegations come amid a long period of controversy for the BBC and Strictly over the past year or so. In July last year, more than six months after quitting the show citing 'personal reasons', actress Amanda Abbington accused pro dancer Giovanni Pernice of 'unnecessary, cruel and mean behaviour' during their time dancing together on Strictly. Giovanni rejected the claims immediately, and a BBC investigation ruled in September that her claims of physical aggression and threatening behaviour were not upheld. When BBC bosses published their report into Giovanni's behaviour, it cleared him of the most serious allegations of physical aggression, but upheld verbal bullying and harassment. Complaints of verbal bullying and harassment meant the BBC issued an apology to Amanda, but Giovanni said he was 'pleased the report has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour '. Elsewhere, the show was plunged into crisis after Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans made a controversial joke during his time preparing for the Strictly tour in January. He used a vile sexual innuendo and was also caught up in a 'wandering hand' incident with dance partner Katya Jones , who seemed to remove his arm from her lower waist on the show. After the BBC launched an investigation into his conduct, bosses decided not to renew his radio contract for his show. The TV star confirmed in May that they will not be renewing his one-year rolling contract following a four-month investigation after the inappropriate comments made during his time on Strictly. Elsewhere, in further scandals for the BBC, Gregg Wallace was recently dismissed from MasterChef after more than 40 complaints against him were upheld following a BBC investigation. While his co-star John Torode was also sacked after two decades over allegations that he used the N-word, which he claims to have 'absolutely no recollection' of. In separate further controversy, it's recently been reported that Naga Munchetty could face an investigation from BBC bosses after she was accused of bullying a junior colleague. The BBC Breakfast host, 50, has been placed 'under review' while bosses consider escalating complaints to a formal investigation, The Sun reports. A source said higher-ups had heard from several colleagues and logged concerns over her 'hard' and 'bullying' behaviour on the breakfast show, as well as her Radio 5 Live show.
