Recognise her? It's the iconic original supermodel, Linda Evangelista.
The 60-year-old was almost unrecognisable as she kept herself hidden in oversized clothing and a beige bucket hat pulled down over her face.
Wearing a navy blue, floorlength skirt and a loose-fitting blouse, Linda wore brown thick-rimmed glasses as she went for a stroll.
Making her way through the crowd, Evangelista still had a signature strut, walking with a brown MiuMiu handbag for a relaxed day out.
After decades in the spotlight, Evangelista has largely enjoyed a quiet life after the past few years.
During her tenure as one of the world's most enduring fashion faces, Evangelista was one of the Big Five stars who first earned the term 'supermodel' – the other four being Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford.
Evangelista was known for her edgy-style, which was cemented with an iconic cropped cut in the early 1990s.
Officially, Evangelista retired in 1998, though has returned to modelling for multiple reasons and special campaigns in the years since – particularly for Vogue and iterations of the iconic magazine across the world.
Over the past eight years, Evangelista has been keeping herself away from the spotlight entirely – after a combinations health issues and medical problems.
In 2016, the star underwent CoolSculpting – a fat-freezing procedure – caused an adverse reaction that made her remove herself from the spotlight.
Ex-supermodel Linda Evangelista files $50 million lawsuit after being left 'deformed' and 'permanently disfigured' by cosmetic procedure
Diagnosed with paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), the star told People that it essentially had the opposite effect, causing her to have lumps of fat form in the skin and left her "deformed".
She sued the company for $50million, which was later settled out of court.
In 2018, Evangelista was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she underwent a bilateral mastectomy and chemotherapy.
She only spoke about the diagnosis in 2023, a year after cancer was found in her pectoral muscle for which she also received chemotherapy.

Sienna Miller just brought back the coin belt, here's how to wear it in 2025
At Wimbledon recently, you could have been forgiven for thinking it was 2005, not 2025. That's because the original Noughties It girl Sienna Miller was spotted in the Royal Box wearing a decidedly Y2K look by Ralph Lauren: a cropped crochet top, long tiered white skirt, and the pièce de résistance – a coin belt. It immediately called to mind her iconic boho looks of the early 2000s, when she would wear a trusty vintage Portobello Market belt slung low around her waist with a handkerchief hemline skirt. In many ways, its return isn't entirely surprising. The comeback has been building for some time. Since Chemena Kamali revived boho cool with her 2024 debut collection for Chloé – featuring her own take on the coin belt – the accessory's appeal has only grown stronger. Then, when fashion icon Miuccia Prada reimagined the classic wide coin belt for her spring/summer 2025 Miu Miu collection, the writing was firmly on the wall. For Miller, the coin belt never truly disappeared. In recent years, she's quietly worn them to add a bohemian edge to her more grown-up outfits – like pairing a belly chain with a brown polka-dot Alessandra Rich dress at a wedding in 2019, or draping a loose, low-slung crystal belt over a floaty floral handkerchief hem dress at a New York premiere in 2023. All this despite telling Vogue she never wanted to wear anything 'floaty or coin-belty ever again'. Orlagh McCloskey, one of the co-founders of Rixo, has always looked to vintage for inspiration, with coin belts being an accessory she was always drawn to. 'It's an accessory which I constantly came across in markets and spotted worn in the glamorous Sixties and Seventies,' says McCloskey. 'Creating our own version felt really natural and the perfect way to bring the vintage spirit into a modern wardrobe. We design our products to be dressed up and down, and adding an accessory like a coin belt is the perfect way to maximise wear and longevity of an outfit to style it from day to night.' 'Coin belts are one of my favourite summer accessories – easy to throw in a suitcase and they really make an outfit feel a little more considered,' agrees fashion broadcaster Polly Sayer, who has also designed one as part of her collaboration with Daisy London. 'Like a necklace, it often ends up the final finishing touch to my warm weather looks, so the team at Daisy London and I felt designing the shell belt was a natural evolution of our collection. I wear mine over a dress, with a bikini, or through the belt loops of some jorts.' For a grown-up way to wear coin belts now, stylist Serena Crawley recommends slimmer styles in brushed suede or soft leather. 'Swap harsh black for warm chocolate, camel, or taupe tones,' she says. 'Like Miller, look for coins or studs that are chunky and more uniform in their placement. Also look for a western-style belt buckle which will make the belt feel more contemporary. Hush's Seren studded belt in cream is a great example of this. Worn with white jeans, a denim blouse, and colourful ballet pumps that pop, this look will feel timeless and contemporary while nodding to the past coin belt trend.' Crawley's top tip is to choose a belt in a similar colour to the rest of your outfit, to tie the whole look together. As for where to position them, Crawley suggests low on the waist if you're tall and slim, and higher up if you're curvier, to cinch in a summer dress. Another option that feels more 2025 than 2005 is the chain belt. 'Chain belts look especially good over bold, playful, patterned dresses,' shares Crawley. 'The best part is that the chain won't break the flow of your outfit's pattern, making it a more flattering option than a thick leather belt. Think of it as jewellery for your waist. And if you are feeling particularly playful, try layering different chain belts over each other for a super contemporary look. Look at Miu Miu's SS25 runway for inspiration.' Crawley's final takeaway? Don't throw out your belts! 'As a personal stylist, I've delved into the depths of many wardrobes and belts are one accessory I'm always hesitant to let clients part with,' she says. 'As long as they're in good condition, they're worth keeping. A belt can elevate a simple summer dress, cinch your waist when you need to add shape or volume, or (as is the case with the coin belt) help you create a modern take on a vintage-inspired look.'

Eagle-eyed fans spot what Chloe Kelly was doing in hilarious Lionesses celebration photo after Euro 2025 win
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PENALTY hero Chloe Kelly was the heart and soul of England's celebrations following the Lionesses dramatic Euro 2025 final victory over Spain. Kelly, 27, kept her cool to slot home the decisive penalty as England retained their title as European champions via a shootout on a historic night in Basel. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Chloe Kelly was England's hero as the Lionesses won Euro 2025 Credit: Getty 4 Kelly scored the decisive penalty on a historic night in Basel Credit: Getty 4 England retained their title as European champions Credit: AP The Arsenal winger had cropped up off the bench when needed throughout the tournament, making her influence known and adding yet another decisive Euros goal to her growing list of career highlights. Kelly understandably had plenty to celebrate as she sang, danced and skipped her way across the pitch in the aftermath to the full-time whistle. However some England fans joked that she was getting a little carried away when a hilarious team photo surfaced seemingly showing her taking a nibble at a teammate's arm. A celebratory selfie snapped by veteran star Lucy Bronze, and uploaded to the Lionesses X account, looked to show Kelly munching on the elbow of substitute goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL what a leg-end England icon Lucy Bronze reveals she played whole Euro 2025 with broken leg Noticing that the Orlando Pride stopper appeared to have Kelly biting down on her arm, one England fan online joked: "Whose arm is Chloe Kelly munching on?" While another added: "Chloe Kelly looks like she's trying to eat someone's elbow". A third asked: "Is Chloe trying to eat Anna's arm?" And a fourth teased: "Chloe Kelly is getting hungry". 4 Kelly appeared to be biting down on Anna Moorhouse's elbow in a hilarious team selfie Credit: X @lionesses CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS In reality it seemed to just be an unfortunate angle, with Kelly actually celebrating with another teammate behind Moorhouse. The former Man City forward was the definition of a supersub, coming on for an injured Lauren James at the end of the first half and going on to set up Alessia Russo's equalising goal and netting the deciding spot kick. History-making Lionesses showed true English grit to win Euros and fully deserve the glory Kelly had similar influences from the bench in the Lionesses' dramatic semi-final and quarter-final victories over Italy and Sweden. Speaking after her confidently dispatched penalty, Kelly had no doubt she was going to score having had to rely on a rebounded miss for her winner against Italy earlier in the week. She told the BBC: "I was cool. I was composed. "And I knew I was going to hit the back of the net. I don't miss penalties twice". She added: "The celebrations are going to be crazy. I hope the whole of England comes out to support us and shows the love to all these girls, because they deserve it." The Lionesses made history by becoming the first England side across both the men's and women's game to win a major tournament on foreign soil. While boss Sarina Wiegman added a third consecutive Euros title to her trophy cabinet, her second with the Lionesses after initially tasting success as Holland boss in 2017.

Drake leaves fans fuming as he reschedules Manchester gig at last minute
Canadian music sensation Drake is in the midst of a European tour with fellow singer PartyNextDoor - but he has angered some fans by suddenly changing concert dates Music fans have been left in despair as Drake has announced his hotly anticipated concert in Manchester this coming week has been cancelled. The 38-year-old Canadian rap star had been due to thrill fans at the Co-Op Arena on Monday night. But on Sunday, news emerged that the concert had to be abruptly cancelled - due to travel disruption. There was good news, however, as fans of Drake were told the gigs would be rescheduled. The concerts, produced by LiveNation and with Ticketmaster handling ticket sales, would be pushed back to early August, meaning fans had less than a week to change plans to see the star at the recently build music and events venue. However, some fans were still let out as they could not change plans to see the musician on his rescheduled dates. Drake is on the road with fellow Canadian singer PartyNextDoor - the stage name of Jahron Brathwaite, 32. The boys have been entertaining their fans with their $OME $PECIAL $HOWS 4 U tour. News of the change to the advertised plans was released on Sunday. Fans turning to the official Co-Op Arena website were met with a notice detailing the rescheduled concert. A notice warned: "Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow's performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled." However, it continued: "The good news is that Drake will now perform in Manchester on Tuesday, August 5th, and it's set to be an unforgettable night. All tickets remain valid for the new date—we can't wait to see you there!" Further details about the headliner and his concert explained: "Five-time Grammy-award winning and multi-platinum global artist Drake announced his highly anticipated return to Europe and the UK with his $ome $pecial $hows 4 UK EU run kicking off this July. "The run will feature PARTYNEXTDOOR on all dates. Produced by Live Nation. The tour marks Drake's first return to Europe and the UK in six years, following his 2019 Assassination Vacation Tour." The change in dates has left some fans disappointed, however. One responded to the news sadly on Instagram, writing: "I'm so sad came way from New York to see the boy." Many others have taken to social media to try and sell their rescheduled tickets as they are no longer able to attend the gig following the switch up of dates. And Drake has also risked turning some fans against him due to the scheduling shambles. One bitterly hit out on X, writing: "so far drake cancelled/rescheduled 3 shows: manchester, belgium and zurich. who the f**k plans his tour dates and why is it that everytime he goes to europe he either cancels the dates or reschedules!!! people travel from other countries to his concerts!!! this is absurd!" Drake and PartyNextDoor have already played two dates in Manchester and a number of shows in London ahead of the rescheduled dates. They head to Amsterdam next before retuning to Manchester the following week. The duo will remain on the road until late September, playing to crowds in Germany, France, Italy, Sweden and more.
