Released in June 2024, Brat soared in the charts and inspired the 'Brat summer' trend which became a cultural movement promoting self-love, positive body image and sultry style choices.
The trend became so big that Brat was named the 2024 Collins Word Of The Year, redefined as 'characterised by a confident, independent and hedonistic attitude'.

Kristin Cavallari's wild reality TV love triangle revealed... after THAT R-rated Glen Powell hook-up
Kristin Cavallari has had her share of hookups with fellow reality stars and famous men. But now, she's coming clean about a fling she had with Southern Charm's Craig Conover. The Honestly Cavallari: The Tour star, 38, opened up about the romance to Andy Cohen, 57 on Wednesday's Watch What Happens Live. 'Okay, let's talk about it. So, Craig and I were friends first [and] became romantic for two seconds.' Cavallari admitted. Their romance fizzled out when Kristin realized Craig was dating Paige DeSorbo, 32. 'The second I caught wind of Paige, I very politely excused myself from the situation.' 'Was there overlap in your relationships?' Cohen asked. 'There was a picture of Craig and Paige in New York — I'll never forget it — and it looked like they were sort of together,' Cavallari recalled. 'That was the first time anyone had seen them. That was the first time I had heard about it,' she explained. 'I saw that picture, and I texted him and I said, "Hey, let's just be friends.' Like, I don't wanna get in the middle of this,' she continued. Conover and Cavallari's friendship started in 2020, after her divorce from Jay Cutler. She admitted to kissing Conover in 2023 on WWHL when a fan asked her what her relationship with Southern Charm's Austen Kroll and Conover was. 'What is it there? Did you guys date? Hook up? Friends? Friends with benefits?' the fan asked. 'We were all really good friends for a while and we had a drunk night and we all posted some stupid Instagram dancing around, she said, referring to posts from a 2020 night out with Kroll and Conover. 'It got all blown out of proportion,' she said, noting that she was just 'friends' with Conover and Kroll. But Cohen wasn't going to leave it alone and bluntly asked her if she'd ever kissed Conover. 'I may have been drunk one night and kissed Craig,' she said. And Craig isn't the only Hollywood heartthrob Kristin has had a tender moment with. On the premiere of the E! series Honestly Cavallari on Wednesday, she admitted to 'dry humping' Hollywood superstar Glen Powell after they secretly hooked up on a wild trip to Greece. Kristin's best friend Justin was also in the first episode of her new show and he eagerly spilled the tea about the single mom's date with A-lister Powell. 'She recently went on a date with... she's gonna be so mad at me, actually, with Glen Powell, and I wanted it to happen so bad!' Justin said as Kristin screamed, 'Justin!' The show then featured a clip from four days earlier with Kristin and Justin explaining that they were, 'partying in Greece' when Powell, '36, 'literally ran into [her].' Justin joked, 'And then you guys had a really fun night together.' Kristin admitted, 'I never f***ed him, just putting that out there.' Justin then asked, 'You guys dry humped, though?' After a pause Kristin smiled and said, 'Yeah, we did,' as they both laughed. Back in Atlanta, Kristin told the crowd, 'OK, I have to go on record, when this comes out, I had nothing to f***ing do with it!'

England rugby captain announced as new ambassador for King's charity
England and Saracens rugby captain Maro Itoje has been announced as the new ambassador at the King's charity. The 30-year-old co-founded an artists' residency – for African, Caribbean, Southwest Asian, North African and diaspora creators – that runs at The King's Foundation's headquarters in Scotland. So far, seven Akoje Residency artists have stayed at the Dumfries House site in Ayrshire. The King aims to improve sustainability, traditional crafts and the arts through his charity that was founded in 1990 when he was Prince of Wales. Itoje joins the ranks of fellow ambassadors including footballer David Beckham, actress Sienna Miller and gardener Alan Titchmarsh. His ambassadorship was announced on Friday, and he said in a statement: 'Seeing African art find a home in rural Scotland through the Akoje Residency has been inspiring.' The London-born rugby star added: 'It has been incredibly rewarding to work with The King's Foundation during my artist residency over the past year, and I'm thrilled to build on that relationship by becoming an ambassador for the charity. 'Discovering my passion for art — and the importance of preserving the traditional skills behind it — has been life-changing for me. 'It's been a privilege to witness how the artists have been welcomed and have become part of the local community.' He co-founded the Akoje Gallery with gallery director Khalil Akar in 2023, and it exhibits at different sites across world – but is also accessible online. Its residency programme was set up in 2024, allowing emerging and established artists to stay on-site in Ayrshire and produce work inspired by the surrounding landscape. Kristina Murrin, chief executive of The King's Foundation, said: 'We have been delighted to work with Maro on the Akoje Residency at Dumfries House over the past year, so it's fantastic to formally cement his role as an ambassador for the Foundation. She added: 'I have personally enjoyed meeting the artists taking part in the residencies and seeing how they have enjoyed living and working on site at the Dumfries house estate. 'We look forward to building on this existing partnership and working with Maro to raise awareness of the importance of traditional heritage skills for artists and ensuring they are given a platform to create.' Itoje, who also captains the British and Irish Lions squad and plays as a lock, has represented England 93 times since his first call-up in 2016. He is the first English captain of the British and Irish Lions since Martin Johnson in 2001.

'David and Victoria Beckham's spooky similarities to royals before new titles'
Arise Sir David Beckham! At last a knighthood for Golden Balls and the nation's golden boy. Our favourite footballer is looking more regal by the day. Snapped a couple of weeks ago alongside the King and legendary gardener Alan Titchmarsh at the Royal Chelsea Flower show, Becks has been putting in hard graft as an ambassador for the King's Foundation. Already an OBE, in February he even enjoyed a private dinner at Highgrove, the King's Gloucestershire pad. Becks learnt long ago that all good things require time and effort. (Lest we forget, unlike some, he queued over night to pay his respects to the late Queen.) But David's devotion to monarchy goes further that glad-handing and good photo-ops. Long dubbed celebrity royalty, the Beckhams have recently acquired an uncanny resemblance to the King and Queen. A bit like the House of Windsor, once upon a time the Beckham's large brood was function personified. Not many more. Like the King himself, David discovered that when his darling boy Brooklyn married an American actress (use the term loosely) things would never be the same again! Apparently Posh and Becks don't like Nicola Peltz. And she doesn't have much time for them. Brooklyn didn't make any of his father's 50 birthday events. (At least Harry rocked up for the coronation). Then Romeo waded in – two brothers feuding! Where have we heard that before? Cue lots of sexist muttering about a dim son being controlled by an ambitious American woman. Echoes of the past. No wonder Harry and Meghan have taken the young pair under their wing in Montecito. They are so well suited. One couple owns a hot sauce company, the other peddles jams and you can read ALL about it on Instagram. The Californian friendship was only a matter of time, after all the Sussexes' spat with David and Victoria (over leaks to the press apparently) left space for new friends. Meanwhile back in Britain, the King's heart must have sung when he saw Beloved Becks on his Birthday Honours List. First mooted for a knighthood in 2011 (blocked after implications in a tax avoidance scheme for which he has now been cleared) David is a national hero, a big royal fan, and, like the king, a beleaguered father. Poor David, his family woes are proof (if any were needed) that money does not always buy happiness, but surely the titles will help restore order. From today Victoria and David aren't any old Beckhams, they are Sir and Lady Beckham. Brooklyn and Nicola now have their work cut out. Last time I checked, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not at liberty to bestow titles.
