Sonam Kapoor And Isha Ambani Bring Star Power To Serpentine Summer Party, Pose With Cate Blanchett
Sonam Kapoor attended the Serpentine Gallery and was announced as Member of the Summer Party Host Committee. She posed with Cate Blanchett and Isha Ambani.
Bollywood star and global fashion icon Sonam Kapoor yesterday visited the Serpentine Gallery and was also announced as Member of the Summer Party Host Committee while attending Arpita Singh's exhibition: Remembering. Following the exhibition, Sonam attended the Serpentine Summer Party, co-hosted by Academy Award Winner Cate Blanchett which is an invitation-only fundraiser designed to bring together leading individuals and supporters of the institution from the worlds of art, fashion, business and technology.
Sonam Kapoor was seen posing with none other than two-time Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett. Cate, who is regarded as one of the most accomplished and revered figures in Hollywood, has won Academy Awards for her performances in The Aviator and Blue Jasmine. At the event, she made a bold sartorial statement in an intricately embellished dress featuring seashells, metal accents, and a sculptural hip detail — a look that was nothing short of avant-garde and theatrical, in true Blanchett fashion.
Also in attendance was Isha Ambani, who looked radiant as always in a champagne-toned beaded dress that shimmered in the evening light. The sleeveless dress featured a petal-like pattern, delicate embellishments, and a soft flared hem that added to the dreamy vibe. Isha's soft waves, natural makeup, and sparkling heels completed the look — she truly looked elegant and effortlessly beautiful.
At the Summer Party, Sonam, the global ambassador for the French luxury fashion house Dior, sported a Kimono jacket from the Dior Fall 2025 collection, embracing cultures through the world with her fashion. Others present at the fundraiser included Isha Ambani, Eiza González, Alicia Vikander, Rebel Wilson, Georgia May Jagger, Lady Amelia Spencer, Lady Eliza Spencer, Lily Allen and more.
After the fundraiser, Sonam Kapoor along with Serpentine Trustee Eugenio López Alonso hosted the Serpentine Summer Party After Party where she sported a full Givenchy look with a leather trench coat, a debut from Sarah Burton's Paris collection.

The Bear Season 4: Who is Francie Fak, and why does Natalie dislike her?
Season 4 of The Bear is serving up more than just kitchen chaos—family drama is taking centre stage, especially with the long-awaited arrival of Francie Fak. While her name has come up in heated conversations in earlier seasons, Francie finally makes her debut in Episode 7 of the latest season, and it's safe to say tensions simmer. Francie is the sister of Neil, Ted, and Sammy Fak, close family friends of the Berzattos. She had only been mentioned until now, mainly by Natalie 'Sugar' Berzatto, who made it clear that she harboured resentment toward her. In previous episodes, Natalie had referenced a mysterious fallout, even saying Francie wasn't welcome at family events because of a past 'incident' between them. That friction becomes more evident when Natalie's husband, Pete, casually mentions running into Francie at the gym, setting off an emotional response from Natalie. Although she briefly considers texting Francie that she misses her, she ultimately deletes the message, hinting at unresolved feelings and deep-seated bitterness. The show hints that Francie may have a complicated history with Pete or possibly strained ties with Natalie for other reasons. In Episode 7, the extended Bear family gathers for Tiffany and Frank's wedding, and it's here that Francie finally shows up, played by none other than Academy Award-winner Brie Larson. Francie is portrayed as blunt, overprotective, and not particularly warm, especially when it comes to her brothers' love lives. She disapproves of all their girlfriends, including Ted's current partner, claiming that her tough love stems from a place of deep care. Natalie, already wary of Francie, finds herself once again at odds with her, though it's unclear if her dislike stems from something personal or just Francie's abrasive personality. Then again, maybe Francie sees flaws that others are too close to recognise. Created by Christopher Storer, The Bear follows chef Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) as he transforms his late brother's Chicago sandwich shop into a fine-dining restaurant. Along the way, the show explores themes of grief, ambition, and the emotional toll of high-stakes cooking. Season 4 also marks the return of the main cast: Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, along with notable guest appearances like Jamie Lee Curtis and now Brie Larson. All 10 episodes of The Bear Season 4 are streaming now in India on Disney+ Hotstar.

Aaron Sorkin to write and direct ‘The Social Network Part II' at Sony, inspired by ‘The Facebook Files'
Sony Pictures has confirmed that Aaron Sorkin will return to the world of Facebook with The Social Network Part II, a follow-up to the 2010 Oscar-winning drama. While being referred to as a sequel, sources indicate the new project will not be a direct continuation but rather a thematic successor focusing on the platform's evolution and broader societal impact. Sorkin, who won an Academy Award for his screenplay for The Social Network, will both write and direct the new film. The project is being produced by Todd Black, Peter Rice, Stuart Besser, and Sorkin himself. The screenplay draws from The Facebook Files, a series of investigative reports published by The Wall Street Journal in 2021. Written by Jeff Horwitz, the articles uncovered internal documents exposing Facebook's knowledge of the platform's harmful effects — from mental health issues among teens to political violence and misinformation in global markets. Though Sorkin had previously expressed interest in revisiting Facebook's story, it wasn't until recent events, including the January 6 Capitol riot, that he found a new direction. However, insiders emphasise that the new film is not centered on the January 6 attack. Instead, it will take a broader look at Facebook's role in global society, particularly its influence on youth, its role in political discourse, and the consequences of its algorithm-driven ecosystem. David Fincher, who directed the original film, is not attached to the new project. Sorkin, now more experienced behind the camera following Molly's Game, The Trial of the Chicago 7, and Being the Ricardos, will take the helm. Casting details remain under wraps, and no production date has been set. It is unclear whether Jesse Eisenberg will reprise his role as Mark Zuckerberg, though industry speculation suggests his involvement is likely.

The couple has reportedly invited about 200 guests to their multi-million dollar nuptials in the Italian city, which are expected to kick off on June 26 and end Saturday with a ceremony at a secret location. In May 2023, Bezos got down on one knee and proposed to Lauren during a summer vacation in Europe. She told Vogue in December 2023 that she 'blacked out a bit' when he showed her the 30-carat engagement ring. Why is it being called the 'wedding of the century'? Many are calling Lauren and Jeff's nuptials in the romantic heart of Venice, Italy, 'the wedding of the century'. But why is it being dubbed so? Well, for starters, the affair reportedly cost between $46.5 and $55.6 million. About 90 private jets have touched down in Venice, Treviso, and Verona airports, while 30 water taxis zipped guests through the canals. Additionally, Bezos has booked Aman Venice, Gritti Palace, Belmond Cipriani, St. Regis, and Hotel Danieli for the guests.
