Cher Lloyd debuts White Lotus-inspired 'Italian bob'– how to style it at home
Cher Lloyd takes inspiration from White Lotus character Lucia with a glamorous new bob haircut Summer 2025 is all about the bob haircut. With top asked-for styles ranging from shoulder-skimming 'lobs' to shorter micro-bobs, this chic style isn't going anywhere soon. And one person who is getting in on the action while the trend is still hot is Cher Lloyd. You may remember Cher from her The X Factor days, and more specifically, her Turn My Swag On audition. However, be prepared for a bit of a shock if you haven't followed her since 2010. Now, Cher, a 31-year-old mother-of-two, looks like she's walked straight off the set of The White Lotus thanks to a new bob seemingly inspired by the HBO show. Posing for a new TikTok clip, Cher debuts her new short hairstyle, which is a far cry from the ultra-long extensions she used to favour a decade ago. In fact, her Instagram feed shows she still favoured her lengthy locks until just last week when she decided to try a bob. The exact name of her cut is dubbed an 'Italian bob', and is characterised by tousled length and chin-skimming layers. Celebrity hairstylist Ricky Mota explains: 'The Italian bob evokes classic Italian glamour, inspired by icons like supermodel Christy Turlington, Monica Bellucci, or modern interpretations seen on the runways. This style is versatile by working with various hair textures and its ability to be styled sleek, tousled, or wavy. This cut looks stunning even with minimal styling, making it ideal for those seeking effortless beauty." He adds: 'To maintain this style, you'll need to get regular trims to keep the look fresh, and to care for it at home, you want to use a lightweight, hydrating shampoo and conditioner." Cher isn't the first celebrity to jump on board the Italian bob trend. After series two of The White Lotus aired, watchers were keen to copy character Lucia's gorgeous short cut. Played by Italian actress Simona Tabasco, who favours this bob in her real life, celebs and series fans alike rushed to get a similar style for themselves. Since then, Kendall Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Lily Collins and Pamela Anderson, to name just a few, have followed suit with similar cuts of their own. How to style your Italian bob at home If you want your bob to look more Bonica Bellucci and Lord Farquaad, the key is in the styling. You need a full kit of body-boosting, texture-creating and style-holding helpers to ensure it doesn't fall flat. A top trick to get the body, bounce and flicked-under ends is to invest in a good heated styling brush. ghd's Rise Professional Hot Brush, now on sale for £134.25, creates 2X the volume of naturally dried hair, providing long-lasting results. Plus, it's small enough that you can use it near your roots, but still large enough to create volume at the ends. For your in-shower routine, you want a shampoo and conditioner that cleanse and hydrate your hair without weighing it down and causing lengths to appear limp. Ricky recommends Unite's 7SECONDS Shampoo and 7SECONDS Conditioner, £31 and £33. Pricey, but both are definitely worth the splurge. A quality heat protector is a crucial part of any styling routine to prevent damage and dryness. The Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, costing £12.50, has received glowing reviews for leaving hair in silky condition. One shopper even claimed it made their hair look salon-fresh. Rollers are a simple solution for achieving a salon-style blowout without the need for heat. The Drybar High Tops rollers, priced at £10, grip on their own and are made from a gentle material to prevent hair tugging or snagging. They can be used with a hairdryer or simply placed on your fringe overnight for a voluminous, bouncy look.

When is Father's Day in Australia? Mark it down for September
If you're gunning for the prize of favourite child this year, then forgetting Father's Day is simply not an option. It's the one day when you should put in a little extra effort to make your dad, stepdad, grandpa or any father figure in your life remember just how much you appreciate them. Here's everything you need to know about Father's Day in Australia in 2025. When is Father's Day in Australia 2025? Father's Day in Australia is always celebrated on the first Sunday in September. In 2025, this falls on September 7. Don't get confused with the other countries' dates, as the United States and the United Kingdom both mark the occasion in June. Why is Father's Day different in Australia? There's no official reason why Australia celebrates Father's Day three months after the US and UK, but a popular theory is that it helps space things out from Mother's Day in May. Plus, this gives Aussie businesses another chance to promote gifts and throw some epic sales. Is Father's Day a public holiday in Australia? As much as dad might wish otherwise, Father's Day isn't a public holiday in Australia – so most shops, cafés and businesses will be open as usual. What is the history of Father's Day? Father's Day originated in the United States, thanks to Civil War veteran and single mum, Sonora Smart Dodd. Inspired by the growing popularity of Mother's Day, she pushed for a special day to honour the hard work of dads around the world. The day was first celebrated in 1910, it became an official US national holiday in 1972, and it was adopted by Australians in the 1930s. What to get for Father's Day? Whether it's a handwritten note, breakfast in bed or just a heartfelt phone call, there are plenty of simple ways to say thank you to the most important man in your life. If you want to make him feel like a king, treat him to a long pub lunch, gift him a voucher to one of Australia's best restaurants, secure tickets to a fab new theatre production, or surprise him with a gorgeous bouquet. What to do on Father's Day? Forget the silly socks or the six-pack of beers, and opt for some good ol' quality time with the man instead. Personally, I love taking my dad for a relaxed brunch at one of Australia's favourite cafés or going on a great big coastal walk. You could also spend some special time together exploring one of Australia's stunning national parks, soak in some culture at one of the best current art exhibitions, or take a day trip to a charming country town. When is Father's Day in 2026? Next year, Father's Day falls on Sunday, September 6. 👧🏻

UK's favourite 'Dadisms' unveiled - from 'resting their eyes' to dad jokes
A poll of 2,000 adults found that while Brits love to moan about their dads' cringey behaviour, three quarters wouldn't choose to change them if they could The nation's favourite 'Dadisms' have been unveiled, with classics such as feigning sleep by "resting their eyes", repeating the same tales, and of course, dad dancing topping the list. A survey of 2,000 adults revealed that despite Brits often grumbling about their dads' embarrassing antics, a whopping three quarters wouldn't change them. Other beloved Dadisms encompass DIY around the house, cracking cheesy jokes, and claiming a particular chair that no one else is permitted to occupy. Napping on the sofa, uttering phrases like 'back in my day...' or 'when I was your age...', and moaning about the price of things also received honourable mentions. Despite these classic Dadisms, an impressive 76% professed they aren't embarrassed by this behaviour, choosing instead to indulge their fathers – with 62% likely to chuckle at their jokes, regardless of their humour value. This acceptance might be due to the fact that 85% admit to indulging in Dadisms themselves – with the most prevalent being complaining about the cost of things (28%), dozing off on the sofa (25%), and using the thumbs up emoji (17%). A spokesperson from Moonpig, which commissioned the research, said: "They seem to have so many universal behaviours, as if they've been given a manual on what makes a dad a dad. This Father's Day we want to celebrate all father figures and the little quirks that make us love them so much." The other ingredients that make up a classic father figure were also revealed, with top traits identified as hardworking, caring, supportive, and reliable. Dad-centric hobbies included watching football, gardening, and DIY – as well as travelling, reading, and going to the pub with his mates. According to data from the most cherished possessions of any paternal figure are likely to be his car, toolbox, and family photographs. Interestingly, more respondents found their fathers unintentionally funny than intentionally hilarious. To honour the father figures in their lives, 73% celebrate Father's Day annually and to mark this day, they are most likely to buy him a gift, a card, and go out for a meal. The top factors influencing the selection of the perfect card were identified as humour, a fun and personal design, and a sentimental message about how great he is. Interestingly, over half claimed they are more likely to buy a humorous card to celebrate their dad on Father's Day than their mum on Mother's Day, perhaps because 73% hope to see their favourite Dadisms referenced on the cover. The spokesperson added: "Our father figures can be such a source of inspiration, support, and laughter – which is why it's so important to celebrate them every chance we get. "A heartfelt message, inside joke, or personalised reference to the things they love on their Father's Day card can make all the difference to letting them know how much you care. "So this Father's Day, take a moment to revel in those eye-roll-worthy Dadisms and the little things that make your bond so special – and say it all with a card that's as unique as he is." TOP 30 FAVOURITE 'DADISMS': Fixing things around the house Pretending they're not sleeping just 'resting their eyes' Falling asleep on the sofa Telling bad/corny jokes Saying 'back in my day…' or 'when I was your age…' Telling the same story multiple times Having a favourite chair that no one else is allowed to sit in Dad dancing Complaining about the cost of things Complaining about what you're watching on TV but then sitting down to watch it anyway Starting conversations with strangers Sending the thumbs up emoji Doing a dad grunt when sitting down or standing up Always coming round to your house with a toolbox Giving unsolicited advice Making jokes to waiters Cleaning his car for fun Always ordering the same meal at a restaurant Wearing socks with sandals Having questionable dress sense Doing the head-nod greeting to strangers Tinkering with something that isn't broken Being obsessed with the water/electricity meter Not using emojis properly Talking through a film you're trying to watch Claiming to be great at BBQ-ing Calling you by your sibling's name Having a 'usual' in the pub Taking atrocious selfies Farting a lot
