Milan Fashion Week: Designers offer luxury PJs, softly tailored suits
Dolce & Gabbana, for instance, paved the way for pyjama dressing, with models wearing PJ sets. The brand proposed tailoring mixed with innerwear and sleepwear separates. A panoply of flamboyant embellished blazers were the other key highlights at the show. Brioni's closing look, meanwhile, was a gold jacket embroidered with 24-karat gold beadings in the same shape as the house's Penne, Italy, factory.
Here are some of the key trends that emerged at the Milan Fashion Week:
Soft suiting
It's been a season of broken tailoring, lightweight textiles and languid silhouettes, all offering ease, movement and freedom. Canali offered a decidedly contemporary take on formalwear—proposing matching tops and trousers reimagined in outerwear and overshirt shapes. The house's signature Nuvola trench made its presence felt in ultra-light suede with a soft knit lining. The overarching inspiration came from vintage cars (Grand Turismo racing cars from the 1960s and 1970s, paying homage to Monza as part of the Brianza region of Italy) and their visually sumptuous interiors which informed the stitching and tailoring.
Emporio Armani, too, softened up its core tailoring rendered in densely fashioned fabrics that embodied nomadic chic.

Travel inspo
The Paul Smith collection referenced a book of souvenir photographs of Egyptian landmarks. The designer, Paul Smith, had acquired the tome in a street bazaar while vacationing with his wife, Pauline, around 25 years ago. The book rediscovered at work informed a range of motifs in the collection, from fish to bloom prints.
Designer Matteo Tamburini at Tod's, too, reimagined easy tailoring employing soft yet structured fabrics, including wool, suede and silk.
The Emporio Armani show saw an array of supple, piped, nylon track jackets and shorts printed with the same geometric patterns drawn from the rich textile heritage of the Taznakht region in Morocco.
Playful layering
From Prada to Dolce & Gabbana, designers mixed high with the low, formal with informal, polished with bohemian, creating a visual disturbance of sorts.
At Dunhill, Simon Holloway explored English duality—classic elegance with rock n' roll icons like Charlie Watts and Bryan Ferry. One of the key highlights were the linen blazers paired with regency stripes and floral printed waistcoats worn with Japanese denims.
Prada presented a crisp cotton poplin shirt styled with elastic-hemmed bloomer short-shorts, featuring popper pockets. An interesting array of bob and bucket hats finished off the looks. Vivienne Westwood's vibrant, evocative and playful line-up, too, saw a mash-up of womenswear with menswear. A floral print dress was styled with a pair of Roman boots and a rose embroidered tabard was paired with a mid-calf redsatin boot. It was punk and provocative.

Movie Review: Kristin Scott Thomas directs Scarlett Johansson in comedic drama 'My Mother's Wedding'
Before Kristin Scott Thomas turned 12, she lost her father and stepfather. Both were Royal Navy pilots who died in crashes. The first happened when she was 5. The second at age 11. Thomas uses these facts, a kind of origin story, as the basis for her directorial debut, 'My Mother's Wedding,' a comedic drama about family, trauma and getting on with it that opens in theaters Friday. Movie Review: Kristin Scott Thomas directs Scarlett Johansson in comedic drama 'My Mother's Wedding' Knowing that the story comes from a real place is important for the experience. It gives 'My Mother's Wedding,' a perfectly average film that doesn't quite land the way it should, an emotional depth that it's otherwise lacking. This is a strange shortcoming considering the caliber of the cast, including Thomas as the bride to be, and Sienna Miller, Emily Beecham and Scarlett Johansson as her daughters. But it's a cruel reminder that a good hook, talented actors, one killer monologue and a picturesque setting aren't guarantees that a movie will work. In the film, the deaths may be in the distant past, but they continue to haunt Diana's adult daughters as she prepares to marry another. Diana's new man is not a dashing pilot, forever preserved in handsome youth. Geoffrey is very gray. He likes to talk about birds, ospreys in particular, has never had children and comes with a very silly last name that she plans to take. Her girls are not exactly impressed, though they've all got their own stuff to deal with. It should be said that Johansson is indeed playing a British woman in this film, and while I don't feel qualified to comment on the nuances of her accent, all I can say is that there is a consistently strange disconnect to hear it coming out of her mouth. Johansson is a great actor who I've believed in many wilder roles, from Marvel movies right on down to her Ellen Greene riff during 'Saturday Night Live's' 50th anniversary show. But, somehow, she's hard to buy as Katherine Frost: A British, lesbian Royal Navy officer in a longtime relationship with a woman named Jack . Miller's character is Victoria, a Hollywood actor known for franchise dreck and short-lived relationships. And Beecham is the youngest Georgina, a nurse who suspects that her husband is having an affair. To find out, the girls hire a private detective to surveil her house and show them the footage after the wedding. It's a very busy, fraught weekend for everyone. There's lots of fretting over why Katherine won't marry Jack, and why Victoria is dancing around a relationship with a wealthy, older French man when her childhood crush still pines for her. There's lingering anxiety about their mom marrying this man who seems so unlike the two heroes that came before and much discussion about the importance of last names, marriage and making sure kids feel like they belong to someone. Some things get resolved, but it's hard to shake the feeling that everyone might need a new therapist by the end. 'My Mother's Wedding' also has a silly lightness to it that's aiming for something along the lines of a Richard Curtis romantic comedy. But coherency of the vision is limited, as is the audience's investment, though there are some lovely and inspired touches like using Iranian artist Reza Riahi to hand paint several animated flashback vignettes based on her memories of her fathers. Thomas co-wrote the script with her husband, journalist John Micklethwait, which includes a particularly poignant monologue for her character telling her daughters, essentially, to grow up and move on — a mature and worthy statement that might come a bit too late. 'My Mother's Wedding' feels only partially realized. But Thomas did have the good sense to end with a song that might just conjure up some feelings for any 'Heartburn' fans out there: Carly Simon's 'Coming Around Again,' this time a duet with Alanis Morissette. 'My Mother's Wedding,' a Vertical release in theaters Friday, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for 'brief nudity, some sexual material and language.' Running time: 95 minutes. Two stars out of four. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Despite controversy with late Kim Sae Ron, Kim Soo Hyun's My Love from the Star breaks 14.5B views amid viral resurgence
More than a decade after its initial broadcast, hit Korean drama My Love from the Star is once again dominating timelines, this time thanks to a viral rebirth on sites such as TikTok and Instagram. However, this increased interest coincides with problems surrounding its star actor, Kim Soo Hyun, who is currently entangled in a high-profile relationship affair with a minor. Despite the uproar, the 2013 fantasy-romance has now received over 14.5 billion views, cementing its status as a timeless masterpiece in Korean pop culture. My Love from the Star: A timeless love story finds new life online Originally released in 2013, My Love from the Star stars Kim Soo Hyun as Do Min-joon, an alien exiled on Earth for 400 years, and Jun Ji Hyun as Cheon Song-yi, a stylish and outspoken top actress. Their unearthly romance captivated audiences in Asia and elsewhere. Scenes from the drama have gone viral in 2025 on social media sites such as TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Netizens are rediscovering the show's most memorable moments, from love lines to hilarious outbursts, and frequently referring to it as a pattern for modern K-drama romances. Record-breaking from the start Back in 2013, the drama was already a sensation. My Love from the Star had over 14.5 billion views worldwide in just three months of telecast, a stunning achievement at the time. Its nationwide ratings peaked at 24%, solidifying its place in the golden age of Korean dramas. At the 2014 Baeksang Arts Awards, Jun Ji Hyun won the prestigious Daesang (Grand Prize) for television, while Kim Soo Hyun received a Best Actor nomination, both earning acclaim for their standout performances. Kim Soo Hyun's scandal overshadows legacy While the drama is gaining momentum, its star is embroiled in one of his career's most contentious issues. Kim Soo Hyun has been accused of dating the late actress Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor, purportedly when he was 27 and she was just 15. Though the actor has rejected all charges, the consequences have been serious. He allegedly lost around 26 endorsement deals, including a significant global contract with Prada, who dropped him and replaced him. The issue has harmed both his public image and professional standing, throwing doubt on his once-unquestionable status as one of Korea's most bankable stars. Jun Ji Hyun's steady reign The actress, on the other hand, has largely avoided scandal and remains one of South Korea's most admired actresses. She is most recognized for her elegance and selected filmography, and she will return to television in the upcoming drama Tempest, co-starring Kang Dong Won. More about the My Love from the Star The viral re-release of My Love from the Star demonstrates the enduring appeal of well-executed romance, fantastical themes, and unmistakable chemistry. While the show is currently being re-aired under quite different conditions, its central story remains unchanged: a lonely alien and a misunderstood starlet fall in love against all obstacles. In 2025, the epic love story continues to captivate hearts around the world, demonstrating that, while reputations can fade, great storytelling lasts.
