The top 5 looks from the Tony Awards: Snook and Clooney win
Amal Clooney in Tamara Ralph
With Snook championing a British designer, Australian creativity made an unexpected appearance at the Tony Awards on the slender frame of Amal Clooney. With husband George Clooney nominated for his performance in the play Good Night, and Good Luck (not his divisive hair dye for the role), barrister Amal wore a pearl-encrusted, fitted design by Australian designer Tamara Ralph.
The former creative director of Ralph & Russo, worn by Meghan Markle, has found greater fame under her own name dressing Angelina Jolie and Blake Lively since parting ways with former partner Michael Russo.
Sadie Sink in Prada
Sensuous 1930s glamour was on many stars' mood boards this season, but few managed to embody the decade's silky grace as effectively as Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in Prada. The plunging neckline and embellished bow detail playfully combined maturity with hints of mischief.
Cole Escola in Wiederhoeft
Audiences of Escola's hit play Oh Mary!, focusing on the imagined cabaret aspirations of Mary Todd Lincoln, are familiar with the playwright and performer's unique humour. That humour was present in the best actor award winner's red carpet tribute to Broadway legend Bernadette Peters.
Loading
Escola's gown from Wiederhoeft was a tribute to the outfit Peters wore to collect her Tony for Annie Get Your Gun at the 1999 ceremony, although the update dispensed with medals across the bodice.
'We found ourselves inspired by additional themes of faded crypticism, false innocence, fightfulness, womanly age-hold historically feminine garments, queenly status and ancient doors,' Jackson Wiederhoeft says.
While the dress was a nod to Peters, the hairy chest was all Escola.

Courtney Love has 'friend with benefits'
Courtney Love has a "friend with benefits". The 60-year-old Hole frontwoman - whose late husband, Kurt Cobain, took his own life in 1994 - has a famous lover but their relationship doesn't appear to be serious. She is quoted by the Daily Mail newspaper's Eden Confidential column as saying: "I'm a libertine, and the person that I most do my romantic c*** with is also a libertine, so we are really more friends with benefits." However, Courtney declined to name her mystery partner. She said: "I don't like talking about them because there's jealousy around that person." The Doll Parts hitmaker revealed in March she was seeking British citizenship after making a permanent move to the UK over fears about the impact of Donald Trump's second term as US president. She told an audience at the Royal Geographical Society in the UK: 'I'm really glad I'm here. It's so great to live here. I'm finally getting my British citizenship in six months. I get to be a citizen. I'm applying, man! Can't get rid of me!' The audience applauded, with led to Courtney elaborating on her concerns regarding the Republican administration in the States. She added: 'In terms of Trump and particularly this group… it's like emperor-core. Like, (they're) wearing million-dollar watches. 'Emperor-core is going on at Mar-a-Lago. It's frightening now. It's like cyanide now.' The rocker - who has 32-year-old daughter Frances Bean Cobain with late husband Kurt - admitted several years ago that her long-term plan was to settle down in London. Courtney told the Evening Standard in 2017 about her plan to move to the capital: 'I know what neighbourhood I'm going to end up in, and I know that I want to be on the Thames. 'I subscribe to this magazine called 'Country Life,' which is just real-estate porn and fox hunting. It's amazing.'

Bob Geldof blasts 'sociopathic loser' Elon Musk in fiery rant at Live Aid musical
Bob Geldof has branded Elon Musk a "prime w*****" for disregarding empathy. The 73-year-old musician and Live Aid pioneer spoke to the audience after the opening night of Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical on London's West End at the Shaftesbury Theatre, and he took aim at the billionaire. In a video shared by he said: "A couple of weeks ago, that prime w***** Elon Musk said something seriously wrong. He said, 'The great weakness of Western civilisation is empathy'. "The great weakness? ... You sociopathic loser. Empathy is the glue of civilisation. Empathy is the glue of humanity. "It's how we do things together. It's how we sit here together and clap because we actually understand that this is the stuff that works." During a recent interview with Joe Rogan in February, Musk insisted while "you should care about other people", empathy was being "weaponised". He added: "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit." The musical - which started at The Old Vic in January 2024 before moving to the US and now returning to London - retells the events leading up to the Live Aid benefit concert in 1985, which raised money for the famine in Ethiopia. Geldof - who also called out United States President Donald Trump, his vice president JD Vance, and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer - used his passionate speech to encourage people to help those in need. He continued: "We need to be helped, we need to help the NHS, we need to re-arm because there's a thug currently invading our continent, but really? "All that intellect, that's all you can do? Snatch it from those people? It can't work like that. It doesn't have to work like that. "It began working like that in 1985, and we took it all the way 20 years later to Live 8. That really tipped the balance in the favour of those we wanted to help." While he acknowledge that the West End show is high quality entertainment with a stellar cast and live band, Geldof also wants it to inspire someone to continue the spirit of Live Aid. He said: "If there's somebody here who can take this idea and run with it in some other way that we're not capable, they can only do is. "This is insane - by doing this every night of the week, these people [on stage] are giving 10 percent of everything this makes. The rest is usually taken up in costs. "So far, these people here behind me have raised almost a million quid." He revealed that the money they've raised is already going to a good cause. He added: "The money these people have raised has already, in the place that was the epicenter of the famine in 1984, they've already built hospitals and schools and stuff like that with the money by doing their job tonight. "That's what they've achieved."

Muse appear to tease return with new song Unravelling
Muse appear to be teasing a new song called Unravelling. Matt Bellamy and co have been dropping teasers about their return for a few weeks now, and it looks like new music is imminent. The British rock band posted a snippet of a video of an unreleased song and captioned the Instagram post: "Back at it." The word Unravelling then flashes up on the screen at the end. A previous animated clip teased: 'Something's coming…" Muse also posted a picture of their silhouette and wrote: "An insect trapped in amber.' In February, bassist Chris Wolstenholme revealed they were planning to work on a new album "fairly soon". The Hysteria rockers' last full-length record was 2022's Will of the People, and he said they were keen to get started on a follow-up and ink a new record deal. Speaking on an episode of The Leona Graham Podcast, he spilled: 'We will [sign to a label], obviously. I think we're gonna start work on the next record fairly soon. 'I think for the last few albums we've been with Warner and we've extended after each album. We may do the same again; we may go with a new label, who knows.' The trio - which is completed by drummer Dominic Howard - needed the time to "reset" and Chris admits that there will be "bigger" gaps between records. He said: 'When you finish touring an album, and [when] the band has been around a bit longer, the gaps between albums get a little bit bigger. I don't think we can be banging out new albums every two years like we used to. 'But it gives you that opportunity to reset a little bit and think about what's gonna happen going forward.' He had suggested that fans would have to wait until 2026 for their 10th studio album. He continued: 'I think we'll start very, very soon, like in the next couple of months. 'We've got a few gigs in June. Only a handful – that's the only gigs we're doing this year. 'I don't think the idea is to do anything really serious until next year, so I would imagine that 2026 will be a new album, barring any disasters.' During Muse's downtime, Chris has been busy with a side project called Chromes, who released their first two tracks, Imaginary World and The Good Life, in October, with the musician on lead vocals. Chromes' latest track was The One, released on June 6.
