Naomi Campbell, 54, exudes glamour in an eye-catching black and gold gown as she poses at Cannes Film Festival's Fuori premiere

Daily Mail​20-05-2025

Naomi Campbell turned heads as she made a glamorous arrival at the Fuori red carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday.
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.

Britain is our enemy number one, Russians say as new poll puts UK above even Ukraine as Moscow's top foe

BRITAIN has been declared as Russia's biggest national threat - even beating out Ukraine and the United States. A bombshell survey revealed that more than a quarter of Putin 's Russia saw the UK as their most formidable opponent on the world stage. 7 7 7 7 Some 28 per cent of Russians named Britain as their number one sworn enemy, ahead of Germany on 25 per cent, the US on 24 per cent and France on 23 per cent. Bizarrely, Ukraine - which Moscow has been at war with for over three years - was seen as the prime foe by only 22 per cent of the public. The shocking poll was unveiled on Russia Day, June 12, which marks the country's separation from the dissolving Soviet Union 35 years ago. The new rating for the UK comes from a pro- Kremlin polling agency called INSOMAR. It is the latest in a long history of jabs taken at Britain by Putin's propaganda machine, which has consistently branded the UK as one Ukraine's staunchest allies since Russia's 2022 invasion. In one recent broadcast on Russian state television, leading Putin mouthpiece Vladimir Solovyov said: 'I can't understand why the British have gone mad [with the new UK defence review]. 'Where do they want to clash with us? He rambled on: "Do they think that we have already landed, entered the Thames somewhere and are now storming Westminster Abbey?" Solovyov made the baseless claim that the UK had staged clandestine undercover operations against Russia. The Putin yes-man said: "Actually, the attack on Russia's cyber security system was carried out by the British. New footage of Op Spiderweb shows drone blitzing Putin's burning aircraft "Then, let me remind you that the water threat [to Russia] came from the British, when they were trying to figure out who Crimea belonged to. He also claimed that British reconnaissance aircraft were "flying through our airspace". Solovyov - who is decorated by Putin for his work as a propagandist - also said: 'Most importantly, I would like to say something separately to Starmer.' He said in a mocking English accent: 'Scottish people, you have to fight for your independence.' Reverting to Russian, he told viewers across his country's 11 time zones: 'Scottish brothers, you must fight for your independence. Right? "These English colonisers have no business on Scottish soil." Another propagandist named Andrey Sidorov then suggested the Welsh should "break free" too. Sidorov has frequently advocated using the untested Russian Poseidon unmanned submarine to sink Britain under a tidal wave. 7 7 7 He mocked Starmer who "has never served in the army". The talking head jibed: "He had no basic military training at school." Sir Keir Starmer 's new Strategic Defence Review pledged to launch 12 nuclear subs and commit billions more in nuclear warhead investment among other promises, as a response Putin's growing threat in Europe. The Prime Minister put the UK on a war footing earlier this month as he ordered the biggest investment in the production of guns and bombs since the Cold War. Writing in The Sun on Sunday, Sir Keir said Britain was facing a 'more dangerous world' and the time has come to 'transform how we defend these islands'. . Bitter tyrant Putin announced the revival of the Soviet answer to Eurovision in February this year.

Donald Trump ally bids for £170m Crystal Palace stake

John Textor is considering three sale offers to rescue Crystal Palace 's Europa League place – including one from Donald Trump ally Woody Johnson. Telegraph Sport understands the New York Jets owner tabled a 43 per cent purchase proposal, marginally less in overall value than two others being discussed. Raine Group, the New York broker which secured sales for Chelsea and Manchester United, had been in discussion with parties on behalf of Textor since last year. However, the American is conscious of the club's need to now secure a quick transaction to guarantee European competition next season. A quick sale for as little as £170 million has been mooted for Eagle Football Holdings' 43 per cent stake as Textor's ownership of Lyon leaves Palace facing the threat of expulsion from Europe's second tier. Industry insiders believe a purchase of Textor's shares by the current co-owners, Josh Harris and David Blitzer, is the most likely outcome this summer. However, options include at least two other proposals from the US, one of which has been established for months. A deal with Johnson, 78, is viewed as an outside shot. He is a controversial figure in US sport, with the New York Jets facing scrutiny last year following reports of 'controversial and dysfunctional practices' under his watch. Johnson bought the New York Jets in 2000, with the NFL franchise now estimated to be worth around $6.9 billion. The Jets' $1.6 billion MetLife Stadium will hold next year's World Cup final. Johnson is also well-known in UK politics. The long-time Republican Party donor was appointed as US ambassador to the UK during Trump's first term. His brother, Christopher, took over Jets operations during his post. The American businessman has long been interested in buying a Premier League club, having approached Raine about Chelsea in 2022. Other suitors for Palace, meanwhile, are believed to include NBA star Jimmy Butler, part of a consortium of sport and entertainment executives that is expected to make an offer. That separate proposal was first reported by The Athletic on Wednesday night. Another international consortium advised by the veteran football financier Keith Harris also previously expressed interest. Mr Harris's group would probably execute its deal through the recently incorporated Sportbank vehicle. The Sportsbank consortium – worth upwards of £200 million – is said to be made up of a collection of investors from North America, Canada, Europe and the Gulf. Textor, who previously expressed interest in buying Everton, is willing to find another club as soon as possible. Textor acquired his holding in Palace in 2021 for about £90 million. His multi-club network Eagle Football also includes French club Olympique Lyonnais, Rio-based Botafogo and RWD Molenbeek in Belgium. His priority is to pursue a club which can accept players across the group. Crystal Palace's overall value is said to be around £500 million – around the same price that Everton was valued at, minus debt, during Farhad Moshiri's protracted sale. Stanley Tang, of the US-based food delivery company DoorDash, denied suggestions that he was also in discussions to buy Textor's stake. Chairman Steve Parish, Textor and his fellow US businessmen Harris and Blitzer oversee the running of the Selhurst Park club as general partners. However, Textor has repeatedly hinted at frustrations that he does not exert as much club control as he would like. Uefa is set to inform Palace whether they are in breach of its multi-club ownership rules by June 30 – although the matter may then be taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) which would delay a final verdict. The FA Cup winners met Uefa officials last week in a two-hour meeting in an attempt to avoid being barred. Palace insist there is no sharing of information or staff or facilities with the French side. The club argue that despite Textor's shareholding, he has no say in the day-to-day running and has just 25 per cent of voting rights. Indeed, Textor has previously spoken about his annoyance at the lack of say he has at Palace and has been trying to sell his shares. Textor reiterated this after last week's meeting in Nyon. However, Nottingham Forest have written a letter to Uefa expressing their position and asking for clarification over whether Palace will be involved.
