Paris couture week opens with Cardi B holding a live crow at Schiaparelli's spectacle
Paris couture week opened not with sequins or red carpet pageantry, but with a black-feathered omen. Cardi B, wrapped in a custom Schiaparelli gown of graphic fringe, stood beneath the gilded columns of the Petit Palais, holding a live crow on her arm. The bird squawked, glared, and nearly lunged — setting the tone for a show that soared straight into the surreal. It was a fitting image for Schiaparelli. Elsa Schiaparelli, the house's founder, built her legend in the 1930s by weaving the unexpected —l obster dresses, shoe hats, and, yes, animals — into the heart of high fashion. That legacy pulsed through Daniel Roseberry's Fall 2025 collection, a spectacle in pure black and white, staged as if the city itself had been drained of color, leaving only stark contrast and raw emotion. Inside, the mood was cinematic — sharp tailoring, sweeping gowns, hints of disco sheen flickering like film across the runway. But if the house has been criticized in the past for relying on extreme corsetry and body manipulation, this season marked a shift. Roseberry, perhaps heeding the critics, abandoned his signature corset silhouette. In its place: a freer, more elastic exploration of the body, echoing Schiaparelli's own restless spirit. Roseberry said the collection was inspired by the moment in 1940, when Elsa Schiaparelli fled Nazi-occupied Paris for New York — a period 'when life and art was on the precipice: to the sunset of elegance, and to the end of the world as we knew it.' Here, that tension was alive in every look: archival codes reimagined, but with a restless push toward the future. Dresses undulated like car bodies, hips arced in impossibly engineered shapes, ribbons from antique Lyon couture fluttered as kinetic sculptures. Yet the show was more than spectacle. This was couture at its most essential — an ideas factory for the entire fashion industry, unfettered by trends. ' Chanel was interested in how clothes could be of practical use to women; Elsa was interested in what fashion could be,' Roseberry added. It is this what-if energy, the transformation of memory, myth, and sheer technique into something never seen before, that keeps couture vital, even as the world rushes toward AI and disposable fast fashion. The setting only heightened the effect. The Petit Palais is currently home to an exhibit on Charles Worth, the 19th-century Englishman who invented haute couture by bringing artistry and handcraft to Paris. The symmetry was irresistible: in these halls, Schiaparelli's past collided with fashion's future, reminding all why couture matters: not as museum piece, but as living laboratory for risk, reinvention, and radical beauty. A decade after its relaunch, Schiaparelli has found commercial traction and become a fixture on the world's red carpets, a rare feat in today's luxury market. But above all, the brand's power lies in its ability to surprise. On opening day, as Cardi B's crow threatened to take flight, Schiaparelli proved that in Paris, fashion's most potent magic is still the unexpected.

Music trade bodies accuse BBC of ‘arbitrary' changes after Bob Vylan Glastonbury set
Music industry figures have accused the BBC of making 'arbitrary and disproportionate' changes to its coverage of live music, after the fallout from Bob Vylan's Glastonbury festival performance. There is serious concern among artists and music agencies over a BBC decision that means any musical performances deemed to be high risk will now not be broadcast live or streamed live. It came after the BBC came under pressure from the government after it did not cut a Glastonbury livestream that showed Bobby Vylan, whose real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, leading chants of 'death, death to the IDF', referring to the Israel Defense Forces. The performance was never shown on traditional television, but viewers could have seen it via an on-demand livestream on the iPlayer, where it was available for five hours. Tim Davie, the BBC's director general, as well as the chair, Samir Shah, have apologised and disciplinary action is set to follow for some of those directly involved. However, music industry insiders told the Guardian the corporation has committed a serious overreaction, pointing to the fact that extensive Glastonbury coverage has been running for years without serious incident. Several also cited free speech concerns for artists. David Martin, head of the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC), the UK trade body representing music artists, said it was a moment for 'cool heads and an even-handed approach' as he called for a rethink. 'The BBC is absolutely fundamental to the continued success of British music, and particularly vital to supporting our new and emerging artists' development,' he said. 'The FAC wholeheartedly supports the network's remit for public service broadcasting, something which is encapsulated by their Glastonbury coverage. That remit also comes with responsibilities. The BBC is – rightly – held to the highest regulatory, legal and editorial standards. If those standards have been breached, then there should be appropriate guidelines to follow. 'But the idea of preemptively grading artists according to their 'risk' factor feels arbitrary and disproportionate – and a dangerous step towards censorship. That kind of approach could potentially curtail artistic freedom around certain genres, and inadvertently punish those who are simply expressing their views. It's a road I think we should resist going down. 'Live music is incredibly important to the UK. It provides entertainment and cultural capital. But it's also an art form, and our performers should be free to challenge, provoke and take risks.' Naomi Pohl, general secretary of the Musicians' Union, said the BBC's decision to be more cautious about live music broadcasts 'concerns me a lot'. 'We really don't want to see the BBC broadcasting fewer live events,' she said. 'It's such a shame there has been a bit of this shadow cast over this year's Glastonbury coverage, because it has had fantastic viewing figures. It's been all over iPlayer and people have been tuning in live. 'We need to talk to the BBC about it directly. But I don't want to see any broadcasters now broadcasting fewer live events because they don't want to take the risk. The whole of the music industry will be feeling that, because it's so crucial to us to have the BBC.' The BBC's decision came after significant political pressure. Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary, said the incident - together with other ongoing BBC issues over Gaza coverage - could be 'a problem of leadership'. Davie currently has the support of the BBC board. There is frustration among some in the BBC that the number of people who actually saw the Bob Vylan broadcast was very small. Others say editorial cuts have aggravated issues around the monitoring of live streams. A BBC spokesperson said: 'We will continue to bring audiences a range of music performances, both live and on-demand, and we respect artists' freedom of expression. However, Bob Vylan's offensive and deplorable behaviour on one of our Glastonbury live streams was completely unacceptable and we are sorry it appeared on the BBC. 'This is why we have made immediate changes to livestreaming music events, and these alongside our editorial guidelines will shape our plans going forward.'

But upon seeing them, Harry could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex." The boys crowded around the football star, eagerly asking if this was the ex the tattoo was for, to which he confirmed. Despite this turn of events, eagle-eyed fans couldn't help but recall that Harry had previously said the tattoo was dedicated to someone else. Before entering the show all Islanders are made to do an audio description video where they describe themselves for those who may have impaired vision. In the clip Harry can be heard describing himself from his hair, eyes and build down to his distinctive tattoo. In the video, he says: 'I have one tattoo on my left wrist and it is the letter E. The letter E is for my Grandma, who sadly passed away, a couple of years ago. Love Island fans left feeling 'sick' after last night's snogging challenge Fans were shocked at this revelation taking to social media to call out the TV star, one user said: 'The amount of lies he has told Is Shocking! Makes 30s Look like idiots We don't ALL LIE like him!' Another penned: 'Has this man ever told the truth' 'How can u lie about something like that,' added a third. A fourth chimed: 'He lied before he even entered the villa, producers have been scammed … HE IS A MENACE !!!!' 'Starting to wonder if he's even called Harry at this point,' commented another. After reuniting with her ex in Casa Amor, Emma was quick to slam Harry's villa behaviour as "snakey" and "disgusting". She later went on to brand her him and Helena, who Harry is currently coupled up with, 'two snakes'. She said: "It's disgraceful though… like, how are you still doing the same thing? The way you've been moving with Helena honestly… You two deserve each other, I think you're a great couple... two snakes." 5 5 5
