Jennifer Lawrence Embodied Glamour in Strapless White Gown at ‘Die, My Love' Premiere

Yahoo18-05-2025

On Saturday, Jennifer Lawrence attended the premiere of her film Die, My Love at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival wearing a strapless white gown with a tiered skirt and ruched bodice forming a fabric fan across her neckline. Her hair was slicked back in a neat bun, and she wore a glamorous makeup palette with smokey eyeshadow and a red lip. For accessories, she had on a black watch and black sandal heels. In her ears, Lawrence had a glimmering pair of diamond studs.
The film is adapted from the Ariana Harwicz novel of the same name and follows a woman consumed by 'love and madness,' according to a synopsis on Deadline. She starred in the role across from Robert Pattinson. The cast also includes LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, and Nick Nolte.
On Friday, Lawrence made an appearance on the red carpet at the Dior at The Hollywood Reporter dinner for the film's cast. It was her first time in the spotlight since welcoming her second child with husband Cooke Maroney. The couple welcomed their first child, their son Cy, in October 2019. For this event, she wore a white wrap dress covered in a black floral pattern, and a pair of gray-tinted sunglasses with a statement necklace. She left her blonde hair down in gentle waves.
Lawrence posed with her co-star as well, who was wearing a jacket over a dark shirt and a pair of white pants. Pattinson also recently welcomed a child with his partner, Suki Waterhouse.
In April, a source told People that Lawrence is 'doing well' since becoming a mom of two.
'Being back in that newborn phase with a toddler as well can be overwhelming, but Jen's [got] such a great attitude. She's meant to be a mom,' the source said. 'She's calm and just goes with the flow. Cooke's a great dad too. They are good at balancing it all together.'

Glasgow Memories Letters: 'I was at school with Lulu's brother'

THE Dennistoun Palais, or the Denny Pally as we all knew it, was at the top of Hillfoot Street where I was born Jane Fotheringham in 1962. I remember seeing inside when I was about five or six, and the big mirrored ball in the ceiling fascinated me. The Pally became a roller disco and then a Fine Fare superstore. The Denny Pally in 1957 (Image: Newsquest) I have many fond memories of Dennistoun. We moved to Golfhill Drive and I lived there until my 20s. I went to Alexandra Parade Primary school and sat next to Lulu's younger brother Gordon Lawrie (my brother was in the same class as her sister Edwina.) Jane with two friends at the top of Golfhill Drive, 1977 (Image: Jane Lafferty) I also went to the 'old' Whitehill school in Whitehill Street.

He and his sister grew up in 223 Cumbernauld Road, a one-bedroom flat, with their parents. When I was younger I used to stay with my nana in the flat. It had no central heating, no bath, only a toilet, only single-glazed windows, and the living room was heated by a gas fire, which used to be coal. The bedroom was big and always cold, but it had a bed recess that my grandpa built, which was a cosy place to sleep. (Image: Newsquest) My dad's family had many businesses in the area: a fish and chip shop (Mac's, the best chippy in Glasgow), the stables on Glenpark Street, a fruit shop, fish shop and van and a funeral director's. My mum worked in the hairdresser's downstairs from where my dad stayed – that's how they met. I have many happy memories visiting my family in Dennistoun growing up.

I saw apartheid and its collapse in South Africa, then moved to America and founded two software companies. I'm semi-retired now and live in Palm Beach, Florida. All of this, because I was inspired by one man, the headmaster of Drumry Primary, Mr Alex Horsburgh, way back when I was a child. Maybe my story could show how one person can change a life.

We lived in the prefabs, on Ledaig Place in Dennistoun, at the bottom of Ledaig Street next to Graham's shop. They were little bungalows, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom, living room and fitted kitchenette, with a gas fridge. I went to Haghill primary, Mr Fyffe was our teacher. After school, it was out to play and 'be home when when the street lights come on.' Kick the can, hide and seek, football, making gang huts, or in the summer, bring a hardback book from the house, use it to sit on a roller skate, and fly down Ledaig Street. At big school, Onslow Drive Public School, Jim Forrest, former Rangers striker, was in my class. I got a job after school at the Sunny Dunn laundrette, top of Cumbernauld Road. I delivered washing, still wet, to customers' homes. I started my engineering apprenticeship with Meto-Vics in Petershill Road in Springburn. For years it was a 6.30am rise, cycled to work past the gas works, through the" blind tunnel", hail rain or snow. At 18 I headed to Ramsay's on Duke Street, new suit on, then up to the Denny Pally where I met my girlfriend inside (so I didn't need to pay her in.) I would take her to the soda fountain bar downstairs, soft drinks only, then dance to the Jack Anderson Show Band. Great times.

I have kept three of the school magazines (Christmas 1960, Christmas 1962 and Summer 1963) and although I don't rate a mention in any of them, they are a fascinating reminder of my time at Whitehill. I thoroughly enjoyed my teenage years living in Glasgow.

The weird and wonderful world of Real Madrid presentations: The keepie-uppies, the medical photos and when it goes wrong

After signing for Real Madrid and before making their debut, every new arrival faces one last step. Madrid have long been renowned for their elaborate player presentations, where players are sometimes presented to tens of thousands of people at their Bernabeu stadium, perform keepie-uppies in front of the crowd and receive a welcome. Advertisement Their latest recruits, Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold, have had to settle for the quieter surroundings of Madrid's Valdebebas training ground as work continues on the Bernabeu's extensive revamp. But it does not make the day any less special for those players. Here, The Athletic takes a look at when the tradition of these presentations began, what goes into them and those times when they have not gone quite to plan… Madrid's tradition of presenting new signings in this way can be traced back to the 1950s, when they won the first five European Cups in a row between 1956 and 1960. Players such as Alfredo di Stefano and Raymond Kopa were unveiled to the public before friendly matches in 1953 and 1956 respectively. However, according to historian Alberto Cosin of the online outlet La Galerna, you have to go back to the 1970s to find the first examples of signings receiving individual presentations. West Germany international Paul Breitner's Bernabeu unveiling was attended by 5,000 people in 1974, while the now-legendary forward Juanito and Breitner's compatriot Uli Stielike received a similar reception three years later. A photograph of Breitner published in the AS Color sports magazine shows the 1974 World Cup winner posing with his foot perched on the ball during his presentation on the Bernabeu's pitch. The turning point came with Florentino Perez's 'galacticos' policy during his first spell as club president from 2000-06, when Madrid brought in a host of top international players such as Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham. This approach to recruitment was not a huge success in terms of trophies, but it did bring the club plenty of financial opportunities. Madrid sources, who asked to remain anonymous to protect relationships, say Zidane's presentation in 2001 was the first to follow the modern format. Even so, few have been as high-profile as Beckham's arrival from Manchester United two years later. Advertisement That took place at the club's then training complex, La Castellana — in the north of the city, where five skyscrapers now stand — with around 2,000 fans and the presence of 544 journalists and 46 TV cameras. The ceremony was broadcast live on CNN in the United States and the BBC in the UK. Beckham took to the pitch wearing the No 23 shirt, chosen as it was one of the few available at the time and also because of its link to NBA icon Michael Jordan, who made it famous playing for the Chicago Bulls. It also reflected the club's new and expanding commercial strategy. 'Mr Di Stefano (the club icon was in attendance as honorary president), Mr Perez, ladies and gentlemen. Being part of Real Madrid is a dream come true. Thank you very much and Hala Madrid,' were the England international's first words as a Madrid player. A shirtless boy even jumped onto the pitch and dodged security to greet Beckham. There were similar wild scenes when Cristiano Ronaldo was unveiled, in front of 80,000 fans, at the Bernabeu in 2009 — a record only matched by Kylian Mbappe when he joined last year. That coincided with Perez's second spell as president, starting that year. In his first summer back in office, Madrid invested €254million (£215m/ $291m at current rates) in players, including Ronaldo from Manchester United, Milan's Kaka, Karim Benzema from Lyon and Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso. Such was the enthusiasm for the 'second' galacticos era that 50,000 supporters turned up to Kaka's unveiling, and more than 20,000 welcomed a 21-year-old Benzema. Before his death in 2014 at age 88, Di Stefano was usually present at those events, with his trusty walking stick under his arm. Other legends have attended, such as Portugal great Eusebio for countryman Ronaldo's 2009 presentation. It is a tradition which has continued to this day: the original Ronaldo was present for fellow Brazilian Vinicius Junior's 2018 unveiling and French compatriot Zidane played a role in Mbappe's. Players usually start the day of their unveiling by going to the Sanitas hospital in the upmarket La Moraleja district of the Spanish capital (the health company is among the club's sponsors), where they undergo their medical and awkwardly pose for what has become something of a traditional photo. REAL MADRID TRADITION 🩺 — Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) June 10, 2025 They then travel by car through Madrid, sometimes passing by its biggest tourist attractions and ending up at the club's offices to sign their contract, alongside relatives and Perez. Often, their family will give the club photos of the player wearing a Madrid shirt as a child. These are then incorporated into a video montage showing their rise and the best moments in their career so far, which gets played during their presentation. Dean Huijsen's full presentation — Managing Madrid (@managingmadrid) June 10, 2025 The players are not always the protagonists. When Asier Illarramendi joined from Real Sociedad in 2014, his presentation was considered a historic event back in his village of Mutriku in the Basque Country. Thirty-one of his friends travelled down to Madrid by bus to see his unveiling and posed for a photo with Perez in the Bernabeu's presidential box to mark the occasion. Illarramendi later said he and his friends were invited by Perez to have lunch at the restaurant inside the stadium, Puerta 57. Advertisement Not every presentation has gone according to plan, either. In 2019, Ferland Mendy was unable to string together more than a few keepie-uppies in front of the cameras. 'It was the first time in my life I'd felt stressed. I arrived, I saw the fans and I thought, 'Oh, what if.…?',' he told Canal+ that year, as reported by Marca. 'My friends told me I was going to fail… and in the end I failed.' Later that summer, Eder Militao's first news conference as a Madrid player ended abruptly because he was struck by a bout of dizziness. The Brazil centre-back had to pause, then took a drink of water, before holding his head and explaining he could not continue. 'It's a huge emotion,' he said. Jude Bellingham's 2023 presentation took place at Valdebebas, with work continuing on the Bernabeu, and it was the same for Arda Guler that same year. There was an awkward moment for the 18-year-old Turkey forward, who did not speak any Spanish then, when he mistakenly rose from his seat before the end of Perez's speech. He then had to wait several more minutes, looking confused, while the president finished his address. In fact, most presentations have taken place at the club's training complex since work costing at least €1.76billion began at the Bernabeu in 2019 and following the pandemic. Ordinary fans don't tend to be present for these events any more with only a few members of the club's official supporters' groups allowed in, though the club's directors, executives and coaches are usually in attendance. The Bernabeu tradition was revived last year with Mbappe and Endrick's arrivals, when they were presented to crowds of 80,000 and 45,000 respectively. Both players gave speeches in which they were visibly emotional, before spending several minutes kicking balls into the stands. That connection with the fans has been lost again this summer, given continued work to soundproof the Bernabeu. Madrid had to postpone all concerts scheduled for their stadium after the neighbourhood's local residents complained about noise pollution from previous shows there. Regardless, there is a reason Madrid's new signings look forward so much to this day — as Alexander-Arnold will find out on Thursday. 'It's the best day of my life,' Huijsen told reporters at his presentation on Tuesday. 'It's a dream to be here, and I'm going to give everything for the team.'

Harvey Weinstein Trial Witnesses React to Mixed Verdict, See Win For #MeToo Movement

Harvey Weinstein was found guilty on one sexual assault charge Wednesday and acquitted on the other, but the two witnesses related to the counts are both viewing it as a win that keeps the former mogul in prison. A jury of 12 gave their unanimous verdicts on the two counts Wednesday, finding Weinstein guilty of one count of a criminal sexual act against former Project Runway assistant Miriam Haley, but not guilty of the other count of criminal sexual act against former model Kaja Sokola. The jury was sent home for the day, amid inflamed tensions among the jurors, to resume deliberations Thursday on the third count, rape in the third degree related to aspiring actress Jessica Mann. More from The Hollywood Reporter Harvey Weinstein Receives Mixed Partial Verdict As Deliberations Heat Up in Criminal Case Jurors Raise Concerns About Harvey Weinstein Deliberations Harvey Weinstein's Team Wants the Jury to Believe He's a Scapegoat of #MeToo The charge of criminal sexual act in the first degree, which here is related to performing oral sex on the complainant, is the higher felony charge and carries a maximum prison sentence of 25 years. And so while Weinstein was not convicted on the charge related to Sokola, she said she remained happy about the outcome. 'I'm very happy about today's verdict. I'm proud of the other two girls, the other two women who testified. It was an extremely difficult journey for all of us to relive our traumas and to go through it in open court. It's a big win for everyone. Harvey Weinstein will be in jail,' Sokola told reporters outside the courthouse Wednesday. Weinstein also still faces a 16-year prison sentence in California, after being convicted in 2022 of rape and other sex crimes. His legal team has appealed that conviction. Miriam Haley, who also testified in Weinstein's 2020 trial, saw the verdict as sending a message to sexual predators. 'Testifying in the face of constant disruptions, victim shaming, and deliberate attempts to distort the truth was exhausting and at times dehumanizing,' Haley told reporters. 'But today's verdict gives me hope. Hope that there is new awareness around sexual violence and that the myth of the perfect victim is fading. And I hope that this result empowers others to speak out and seek justice. To those predators who still believe they can exploit, abuse and walk away unscathed: Your time is running out. The world is changing. And you will not outrun the consequences of your actions forever.' Her attorney, Gloria Allred, who has also represented women coming forward against Jeffrey Epstein, R. Kelly and Sean 'Diddy' Combs, added that this was confirmation that the #MeToo movement is not dead, as has been discussed in the press. 'That obituary was obviously premature and I don't think it applies at all based on my experience for almost 15 years in women's rights,' Allred said. Haley had testified to meeting Weinstein at the Cannes Film Festival and then later getting work from him on Project Runway. He later invited her to a movie premiere in Los Angeles, which she accepted, and then stopped by his apartment before leaving. It was there that she said Weinstein backed her into the bedroom, held her down and forced himself on her orally. Her account was backed up by her former roommate, as well as a friend. All of this comes after Weinstein's 2020 rape and criminal sexual assault conviction was overturned in April 2024 after the court of appeals found the trial prejudiced Weinstein with improper rulings, including allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. Weinstein was convicted on the charges related to Haley and Mann in 2020. Sokola was not part of Weinstein's 2020 case, but was a key witness for the prosecution in this one. She testified to meeting with Weinstein for lunch at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in 2006 and being invited up to his hotel room to see a script, as she pursued becoming an actress. When she followed him up, she testified that Weinstein asked her to come up to a hotel room to see a script and then forcibly held her down on the bed, removed her stockings and underwear and performed oral sex on her as she repeatedly asked him to stop. The defense team had sought to undermine her testimony by pointing to the fact that Sokola had not told her sister, who was at the lunch, about the assault, and even unveiled a diary from Sokola that did not include the sexual assault. As with the other victims, they also pointed to the fact that Sokola had received $475,000 as part of a settlement fund related to the 2016 incident with Weinstein. Sokola had also received a $3 million settlement in a civil lawsuit filed against Weinstein's brother Bob Weinstein, Disney and Miramax in 2019 related to an incident in which Sokola said she had been sexually assaulted by Weinstein in 2002, when she was 16. That incident was not charged in this case, but did come up in her testimony. As Sokola's attorney, Lindsay Goldbrum, pointed out at the press conference, it's also hard to prove allegations that happened 20 years ago beyond a reasonable doubt. 'For myself, it's the closing of a chapter that caused me a lot of pain throughout my life. And having prosecutors hear my story, go through all the details with me and believe me and support me was extremely powerful,' Sokola told reporters. And while Goldbrum also saw the conviction as a positive for the #MeToo movement, she added that it 'still has a lot of work that has to be done' in terms of the courts and judicial systems 'denying justice.'
