Naomi Campbell, 54, exudes glamour in an eye-catching black and gold gown as she poses at Cannes Film Festival's Fuori premiere
The supermodel, 54, stole the show in a dramatic black mesh gown that was encrusted with hundreds of gold gems.

She oozed confidence as she posed up a storm for a sea of cameras, before flashing her dazzling white smile.
Fuori is a 2025 biographical drama film co-written and directed by Mario Martone, based on the 1983 novel L'università di Rebibbia by Goliarda Sapienza.
This year's Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump´s vow to enact tariffs on international films.
Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d'Or, to give out at the end.
Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories.
But Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies 'produced in Foreign Lands' will face 100 per cent tariffs.
The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for US-based productions, rather than tariffs.
This year, some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known.
Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) have all unveiled their feature directorial debuts in Cannes' Un Certain Regard sidebar section.
Many Cannes veterans have returned, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro - who received an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes - and Quentin Tarantino, who paid tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman.
Over recent years, the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette.

But new nudity rules, devised for 'the sake of decency', have been implemented at this year's festival.
According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet.
'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document.
'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.'
It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline grabbing ensembles.
Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted.
While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.
Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions.

Anger in Italy over non-consensual photos of women shared online
Facebook has removed an Italian group which saw men sharing intimate images of often unsuspecting women with thousands of people Mia Moglie group, which translates to My Wife in English, had around 32,000 members before it was shut down this discovery has prompted outrage among Italians who are concerned about similar groups growing in its absence. Meta, which owns Facebook, said it closed the page "for violating our Adult Sexual Exploitation policies''. Screenshots taken before the Facebook group was removed appeared to show pictures of women in various states of undress, sometimes asleep or during intimate moments. Underneath the posts there were numerous sexually explicit comments from men. Some said they wanted to "rape" the woman while others praised the secretive nature of some of the photographs. The page was highlighted by the author Carolina Capria who posted online saying she felt "nauseous" and "scared" by what she saw. "This linking of violence to sexuality is so ingrained in our culture that in a public group, men write without hiding their names and faces," she added. Fiorella Zabatta from the European Greens party said on social media that it was "not just harmless fun", but was "virtual rape". "These platforms must be fought, this toxic idea of masculinity must be fought, and we all need to take action: civil society and politics too".Revenge porn, the sharing of sexually explicit images or videos which were intended to remain private, was made illegal in Italy in 2019. Italian media reports suggest more than a thousand people have already reported the group to the police unit which investigates cyber crime. Meta's statement added "we do not allow content that threatens or promotes sexual violence, sexual assault or sexual exploitation on our platforms". The discovery of the Italian facebook page has seen some draw parallels to France's Pelicot case. Last year, Dominique Pelicot was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drugging, abusing and inviting strangers to rape his then wife Gisèle Pelicot. Despite being virtual, Capria said it showed that the Pelicot case was not an anomaly as in both instances, it showed "a man who believes he can control his wife, and for whom sexuality is inextricably linked to oppression".

First trailer released for Daniel Day-Lewis's comeback film, Anemone
The first trailer for forthcoming drama Anemone has been released, offering a glimpse of Daniel Day-Lewis's screen comeback after eight years. The triple Oscar-winner retired from acting in 2017 after completing Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread which, he said, left him 'overwhelmed by a sense of sadness' during filming. 'Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor,' read a statement at the time. 'He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years.' He had previously stepped back from the profession in 1997, after shooting The Boxer, when he took up a new career as a shoemaker in Italy. He then returned to make Gangs of New York with Martin Scorsese in 2002. Anemone is the debut feature of Day-Lewis's son, Ronan, 27, who has previously worked primarily as a painter and made two short films, in 2016 and 2017. The two men co-wrote the script, which distributors describe as exploring 'the complex and profound ties that exist between brothers, fathers, and sons'. The film has been produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B outfit, and will premiere at the New York film festival in October. Widely perceived to be one of the finest actors of all time, Day-Lewis won Oscars for his roles in My Left Foot, Lincoln and There Will Be Blood. Other films include The Age of Innocence, My Beautiful Laundrette and The Last of the Mohicans. In 2005, Day-Lewis starred in The Ballad of Jack and Rose, directed by his wife (and Ronan's mother), Rebecca Miller. Anemone is set in Yorkshire in the late 1980s and concerns the fate of two brothers who served as British paramilitaries in Northern Ireland 20 years before.

Stick that knife in and see if I bleed
From The Times, August 21, 1925Last night at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, before what is left of social and scientific Paris, together with a large contingent of the general public, the Egyptian Fakir Tahra Bey gave a demonstration of his powers, subject to every test which a panel of doctors and a crowd of 100 or so of the public on stage could suggest. The fakir, looking, with his sad and really beautiful face, his fine silky beard and flowing white burnous, exactly like an illustration to a children's Bible, announced that he had come, not to work miracles, but to ask the opinion of the scientific West upon physical peculiarities which he could induce, but not explain. This modest warning was fully necessary and imperfectly appreciated, as subsequent events proved. Having thrown himself into a cataleptic trance and suffered a stone weighing 200lb to be shattered on his body by blows from a hammer, the fakir emerged therefrom with a shudder and announced that he was quite insensible to pain. Five doctors thereupon transfixed various parts of his body with knives and needles. Four of them announced themselves perfectly satisfied; but the fifth, Dr Barré, of Strasbourg, declared that he had detected evidence of pain and a change in the pulse during the operation. As the fakir was moving about and talking quite happily with an armoury of grisly instruments still in him it did not seem to matter. The fakir asked that the weapons should be removed from his person and promised that the wounds should bleed or not at will. None of them bled at all, and in a few moments there was no trace even of a scar. The final test was that of remaining buried alive for 12 minutes. The fakir again threw himself into a cataleptic trance and was tested by the doctors, who found no trace of breathing or blood circulation. He was then put in a coffin, his nose and mouth were stuffed with cotton-wool, the remaining space filled with sand and the lid closed. The coffin was then buried in a heap of sand. When it was opened the fakir was discovered ghastly pale, but otherwise none the worse. There can be no doubt that last night's Parisian audience were convinced that they were in the presence of a very remarkable man.
