Sabrina Carpenter goes bra-free in a backless ruby red dress while sipping wine
The hitmaker, 26 who stunned the audience performing with Duran Duran at last week's BST Hyde Park show, shared some sultry highlights from her European trip on Monday.
Carpenter began the photo carousel with a snap of herself wearing a low back ruby red gown while enjoying a glass of white wine at an Italian restaurant. Her blonde locks were styled in a wavy bob.
'Newsflash pal,' the Please Please Please singer wrote next to the contents.
'Our princess! Italy looks good on you,' penned an adoring fan.
'TRY NOT TO SAY BELLISSIMA CHALLENGE FAILED,' asserted an admirer.
Another risqué photo showed the Grammy winner reclining on a bed in an animal print body suit.
Her not-so-light reading material included Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, which caused some concern among her fans. Plath died by suicide in February 1963, one month after the publication of the semi-autobiographical novel.
'FOR REAL IS SHE OKAY,' asked a fan.
'I GASPED WHEN I NOTICED LMAO,' wrote another.
One commenter remarked on the irony of Carpenter reading the feminist novel in light of her recent album cover, in which she is crouched on the floor with a man pulling her hair. Many have found the cover demeaning.
'With Sabrina's new cover it is really hypocritical to post this picture with Sylvia's work of art,' they claimed.
Carpenter was all business in another photo, showing of her hourglass figure in a 1950's inspired gray suit with a matching jacket and flouncy skirt which she wore to the Dior Homme Menswear show during Paris Fashion Week.
Her long, blonde hair was styled straight and cascaded down her back.
In another photo Carpenter looked line a muse wearing a cream satin and lace dress as she stood on her tiptoes beneath a wood framed window.
A more relaxed picture shows the Espresso artist wearing the same dress, lying on the floor with her legs resting against a wall in a yoga position.
Carpenter shared a playful snap as she and a friend sat on a teeter-totter at a kiddie park. The hitmaker looked carefree wearing a pair of striped short-shorts with a loose-fitting yellow top and high-heel mules.
The young popstar is a bit of a music historian according to the cover story in Rolling Stone.
She is a big ABBA fan has named her cats Benny and Bjorn after band members Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, and often covers their songs during the 'slumber party' portion of her set.
'I don't know if there's any other artists in the world [who] make me so happy,' she said, revealing she had received a personal tour from Ulvaeus at the ABBA museum.

'They just understood how to make fun of music without it feeling cheesy or corny. And even when it does you're into, because they just sell it.'
She often spends her off-time watching seventies films, such as Saturday Night Fever.
She credits the younger family members of people she admires for helping with intros to music legends such as Dolly Parton and Paul Simon.
'Thank God for the nepo babies,' she explained. Because they're fans of min, and I need to meet their parents.'

Reality TV star explains why being a housewife is ‘very empowering'
On the surface, The Real Housewives franchise may just seem like a reality TV series where rich women traverse through life in their respective mansions and cities – but for the new cast of the 30th instalment, The Real Housewives Of London, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that has landed in their laps. The six bold, stylish and glamorous women, who will be balancing ambition, family and friendships on the show, include social media influencer Juliet Angus, 48, Panthea Parker, 51, who is known for her high-society lifestyle and social circle, and former actress turned creative producer, Juliet Mayhew, 48. Former cast member of The Real Housewives Of Jersey, Karen Loderick-Peace, 50, also makes a return, and is joined by the founder of the Chelsea Cake Company, Nessie Welschinger, 42, alongside Amanda Cronin, 56, who runs both Amanda Caroline Beauty and The Secret Door. Across 10 episodes, Hayu's first-ever original series will follow the cast as they navigate their day-to-day lives, excel in various industries, and make their mark across some of the most prestigious parts of the capital. Like all franchises of The Real Housewives – the first ever iteration was The Real Housewives Of Orange County, which aired on March 21, 2006 – there will be lavish dinners, luxury escapes and the constant rebuilding of bonds over bottles of champagne. At the end of the series, Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan, 42, will host a reunion special. But the ultimate goal for this cast is to 'entertain people so they can switch off, forget about real life, their problems and all the tragedies the world is facing'. Ahead of the release of The Real Housewives Of London, the housewives discuss where their confidence comes from and the legacy of the franchise. What it means to be a housewife in society has changed. What does being a housewife mean to you? Karen Loderick-Peace: It's empowering for me because we're running our household. We're looking after our children. We have patience and time for our husbands, and we have our everyday career lives. To call yourself a housewife, to wear that crown, is very empowering for me and the girls. Juliet Angus: We're a modern version of a housewife. We can do it all. Maybe not perfectly, all the time, but we try. We want to be businesswomen. We also want to be great partners and mothers. Juliet Mayhew: I think the greatest honour and the greatest roles I've ever had the privilege to play are wife and mother. And that doesn't take away from anything else that we do, but that's certainly where my starting point is. I think to be able to have the platform now to be on Housewives is a huge honour. Amanda Cronin: Housewives is a brand, a franchise. When you think about where it started in Orange County and where it is today, rebranding is not ideal. But today, the Housewives are powerful women, independent and hard-working businesswomen, the face of modern women in society. Why is it important to show the diversity of women on screen? JM: We all come from different places in life. We've had different experiences, and it's really important to focus on that uniqueness and celebrate it. We bring different aspects, different opinions, different passions, and I think it's interesting for us to reflect and respect that. KLP: Sometimes we think the world is so open and understands everyone's culture, but there are still people in the world who aren't quite educated about other cultures. So it's nice for us to show our diverse, true, authentic selves, to educate others. We're all people, and we can get along. And if you cut us, we all bleed. London is a melting pot of people from all walks of life – it's a big deal for us to represent that. How has London contributed to who you are today? AC: I see her as a woman. She will chew you up and spit you out if you don't respect her. You have to be careful. I've had to learn a lot from being in London. I came with no friends, no contacts and and had to make my way. She's tough, but at the end of the day, London protected me when I needed her, and she's always been there for me at a time when I had a situation where maybe I would have had to leave the UK and live abroad in Monaco. I chose London. She made me who I am today, but she's a cruel mistress. Nessie Welschinger: I was born and bred in London. So I spent all my childhood here. And obviously, I also come from immigrant parents who moved from Singapore and Egypt to find a home in London. Growing up in a multicultural home and experiencing different walks of life, particularly in London, I truly believe that has shaped who I am today. That's opened my eyes to the difference that London makes to the rest of the world. I feel like The Real Housewives Of London brings out the best of London. Where does you confidence come from? JM: My journey has been fuelled by my faith. I've been blessed with incredible parents who prayed for me and spoke words of affirmation over me from the day I was born. And I do that with my children. I look to what God says about me, I'm uniquely created in His image. I'm a child of God. I sit at the right hand of Christ. That's something that I hold on to, and it helps me every day. Panthea Parker: It just always came naturally to me. I think I've been confident since I was eight-years-old, and I've never had a problem with it. Even though I'm not religious, God is within me. I really believe in God deeply, and I think that things happen for a reason. I know it sounds ridiculous to say maybe God wanted me to do the show, but it landed on my lap. My Instagram – compared to everybody else's, which is open – was closed, and they still found me. If anything, I would say that this show has actually brought my confidence a bit down. I've just always lived my life being me, but in this show, sometimes just being you – with five Alphas – can start to play with your head.

Nicola Peltz-Beckham poses TOPLESS with her glam mum, 70, as she shares unseen snaps from wedding vow renewal
NICOLA Peltz-Beckham has posed topless with her very glam 70-year-old mum in unseen snaps from her and Brooklyn's recent vow renewal. Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, said "I do" for a second time earlier this month after keeping their distance from his famous family. 6 6 6 6 And now the Bates Motel actress has shared a series of snaps from their big day where her family turned out in their masses, and The Beckhams were nowhere to be seen. Among the slew of snaps that Nicola shared on her Instagram on Monday were several of her posing with her mum Claudia Peltz, who is a former fashion model In two of the photos, Nicola and Claudia, 70, were seen posing in a mirror with one another. Nicola, who was getting ready to walk down the aisle again, wore only a pair of tights as she went topless for the cheeky snap. Standing beside her mum, with much of her body shielded, Nicola displayed her svelte frame as she smiled. Her mum could be seen holding a black dress in front of her as her daughter held her hair back. MUM AND DAUGHTER DUO Fans went wild over the mum and daughter duo. "No I can't. You and mom," said one person in the comments section. A second swooned: "Omg you and Claudia. Obsessed!" "Your mum is so beautiful. You two Angels," added a third. Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz 'renew wedding vows' after 3 years of marriage "Awww congratulations on renewing your vows. Your mama is beautiful lady x," said a fourth. Meanwhile, other fans and critics questioned why Nicola's family was present at the vow renewal, but Brooklyn's was not. "What about Beckham family?" asked one. "Where is your husbands family?" echoed another. The Beckham Family Feud April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz. Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham -designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress. Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events. Alleged Wedding "Hijack": In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying. March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade. April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show. May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola. Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn. Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair." June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny. Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn. July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift. Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn. 'FINAL KICK IN THE TEETH' Rumours of a family feud between the couple and The Beckhams have been rife after the loved up couple failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party. The couple, who first got married in April 2022 after dating for three years, said "I do" again at the start of August 2025 in a vow renewal ceremony. In the photos shared by the couple on Instagram, they are surrounded by Nicola's family and friends. The ceremony was even officiated by Nicola's father, Nelson Peltz, 83. A source told The Sun of David and Victoria's reaction to the vow renewal after they found out about the ceremony on a US sit. They told us: 'This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. 'Seeing Nelson [Nicola's father] having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. "Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited. 'His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them." 'CRUEL AND SPITEFUL' The source continued: "At the original wedding, for example, Liberty - the daughter of Victoria's sister, Louise — was a bridesmaid but even she has been cut off now. "The rift runs far deeper than people realise. "It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that." 'This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy - and see no way back. Honestly, they are now questioning why he even wants to keep the 'Beckham' surname - will he revert to Peltz? "August 2nd 2025 - is this the day Brooklyn formally declared himself no longer a part of the Beckham family? 'It certainly feels like it.' 6 6

Zoe Ball's famous dad Johnny says her relationship with her ex-husband Fatboy Slim is better than ever
Johnny Ball has claimed his daughter Zoe Ball has a better relationship with her ex-husband Fatboy Slim now than when they were married. The TV personality, 87, made the surprising revelation in a new interview with Boom Radio - almost 10 years on from their 2016 separation. While the couple were together for 18 years, their relationship was not entirely smooth sailing and they briefly split in 2003 after Zoe had an affair with DJ Dan Peppe. Johnny said: 'They're very good friends today, you know. They're great friends. They're divorced, but they're better…. 'If you like they're closer today than they were when they were married. And that's a lovely thing. It's a lovely thing.' The former couple share two children together - Woody Fred Cook, 24, and Nelly May Louise Cook, 15. Elsewhere in the interview, Johnny opened up about the early part of his career as he reflected on a whopping six decades in the spotlight. Daughter Zoe was quick to follow in her father's showbiz footsteps and made a successful career for herself as a DJ in the nineties. It was this work that caused her to cross paths with Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, now 62, while working for Radio 1 in Ibiza in 1998. Following the couple's split in 2017, Norman spoke of going through a 'traumatic year' and said that music provided him with a much-needed form of escapism. He told the Daily Star: 'My music and shows have always been about escapism, for people to forget what's wrong in their life. 'I've done it for 30 years but, because my life was happy, I was providing that escapism for the crowds. And now they're providing that escapism for me. 'Having hit a traumatic year, for those two hours when I'm on stage, I forget all my worries and I feel like I can escape.' Opening up further, he admitted that he actually feels like he is a better DJ when he is going through difficult things in his personal life. He added: 'Because of my marital situation, I have a lot more time on my hands. Practically, I see less of the kids than I used to, so I have more time to make music.' Following the couple's split, Zoe entered into a relationship with Billy Yates in 2017, a cameraman who tragically died by suicide that same year. She went on to date production boss Michael Reed from December 2017 to 2023 after reportedly growing apart. While Zoe's love life has played out publicly since splitting with Norman, little is known about his romances since their breakup, although he was linked to Zoe's friend Nicola Lokko in 2018. The former couple are reported to have settled into an effective co-parenting relationship and Zoe praised Norman's ability as a father in 2020 to Red magazine, describing him as the 'best dad'. She said: 'He is such a good friend and a good guy. It's not always been easy and it's taken time.'
