Another added: "Toni being American and winning, iconic!!! And thank you Cach for being so amazing and loving. Well deserved."

She added: 'I am still overwhelmed by the incredible outcome and amazing team! As the creative director, witnessing my visions come to life fills me with so much happiness. So proud of East x East.'

The resort wear line had launched pop-ups before, having previously been seen at the Montauk Beach House luxury resort. Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra on TikTok. The latest pop-up was hailed by Ms Nolan O'Slatarra just weeks ago, posting on her TikTok that it was 'goals achieved'. Speaking in a TikTok video in February 2024, the Carlow native said East x East stands for 'New York, by the Hamptons'. She continued: 'Our tagline is built in the city, made for the sun. I absolutely adore it. "I think it resonates with so many people on so many levels because I feel at some point everyone in their lives are grinding city life, but everyone's just destined for the sun.

Ms Nolan O'Slatarra's social media also gives a snapshot into her jet-set life in New York. The 33-year-old took a plane to Nashville for a concert in 2021.

'I made friends in the institute and at college and a new group in New York, but I still have all my Carlow friends. They are still my crew.' After finishing up her academic studies, the new graduate was looking for a 'change' and ended up in New York after her dad bought her a one-way ticket to the US. While she initially planned to stay in the city for just nine months, she went on to land a job with fintech start-up Street Diligence. After spending two years there, the Irishwoman held a number of other roles before launching East x East in 2021 alongside her Amazon brand Duper. She also described herself as having a 'hard-work mindset' and a determination to succeed. 'Carlow is a small town, I was the small town girl who needed to get out to achieve her big dreams,' she added. 'I always knew I wanted to be successful, that I was money-driven, business-driven – and that fashion is a tough industry and it would be a slow road.' According to her LinkedIn, Ms Nolan O'Slatarra was appointed as director of operations with K4 Capital Management in 2024. East Hampton Town Police confirmed in a statement that preliminary investigation and exam of the deceased Irishwoman were inconclusive regarding the cause of her death. A post-mortem examination is set to be conducted by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's Office.

Rock superstar back with ex girlfriend five months after dramatically splitting as pair look at properties together

A pal who confirmed the pair had rekindled their romance has also revealed how Ozzy Osbourne's death impacted the rock star HAPPIER NOW Rock superstar back with ex girlfriend five months after dramatically splitting as pair look at properties together Yungblud is back with girlfriend Jesse Jo Stark five months after they parted. US singer Jess, who is Cher's goddaughter, started dating the British punk rocker in 2020. 8 Brit punk rocker Yungblud has reunited with ex Jesse Jo Stark, Cher's goddaughter, five months after they split Credit: Click News and Media 8 Our exclusive snaps show Yungblud and Jesse house‑hunting in London, pausing at a window marked 'heart and soul' Credit: Click News and Media But the pair called it quits in March after he said he needed to be 'a better boyfriend, a better brother, son, a better artist'. Now they're an item again, and my exclusive pictures show Yungblud — real name Dominic Harrison — and Jesse on a day out in London. They were looking at properties in an estate agent's window that had the words 'heart and soul' written on it. A pal confirmed they have rekindled their romance and said: 'Dom and Jesse are super-happy together. 'They had been dating for a long time when they chose to slow things down. 'A lot was happening in Dom's life and he wanted to get his head straight so he could give his all to Jesse. 'So happy' 'They started getting more serious again a few weeks ago and they're doing really well. 'Dom and Jesse went off on a short holiday together too, which was much needed, especially for Dom. Losing Ozzy Osbourne, who was a great friend to Dom, has been really difficult. 'If anything, it's taught him to grasp each day with both hands. 'Their friends are thrilled to see them together again and so happy.' YUNGBLUD - teresa Chatting about their split in May, Patience singer Dom, who has three No1 albums under his belt, said: 'It was a 'me' problem. Everything is a 'me' problem. 'I was drowning, and I couldn't figure out why. I've literally got a tattoo of her under my arm. 8 The death of his friend Ozzy Osbourne hit Yungblud hard Credit: Getty 'I don't know what it is. We needed space, we needed time, and she's giving me that, because she truly gets me. I needed to look at myself in the mirror, on my own for a while.' Despite spending time apart, Dom made it clear he was still head-over-heels for Jesse, who released her debut album Doomed in 2022. Dom, who today opened his first fan club and shop at 20 Denmark Street in London, previously told the We Need To Talk podcast: 'She's probably the most incredible person I have ever met and she's my best friend and I feel so lucky to be in her orbit. 'I got to talk this through with her and she understood and she needed a moment. 'We talk every Sunday. Ultimately, I think in my life, all roads lead to her because I love her. I never loved anything like I love her. 'I love her as everything. And I love her as if I'd love water. I need it, you know. I think I'd never experience love like it — when you could be that honest with another human being, even in times when we're not technically together.' Anne dances with Devil 8 Anne Hathaway channels Gene Kelly as she dances around a lamppost while filming in New York Credit: Getty Forget The Devil Wears Prada – Anne Hathaway looks more primed for a reboot of 1952 classic Singing In The Rain. The American actress was seen dancing around a lamppost, just like Gene Kelly did 73 years ago, as she filmed scenes for the upcoming sequel of the fashion film in New York. Anne, alongside co-stars including Meryl Streep and Patrick Brammall, has been spotted working on the new movie in the Big Apple for the past few weeks. The sequel is out on May 1 next year and promises more bitchiness than ever, as fearsome Miranda Priestly struggles with new rival and former assistant Emily Charlton, played by Emily Blunt. I can't wait. So, rest for the Wicked 8 Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will scale back the promo for their Wicked sequel - with no London premiere planned Credit: Getty Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were practically unavoidable last autumn as they promoted the first Wicked film – from chat shows to viral interviews and appearances at no less than five premieres. But some of you will be breathing a sigh of relief, as I can reveal they have drastically scaled down the promotion for the second and final instalment of the movie musical, Wicked: For Good. I've been told there are no plans for a premiere in London. Instead, a single launch event will take place in New York ahead of its release on November 21. On top of that, leading ladies Ariana and Cynthia, who play Glinda and Elphaba, will only do a fraction of the interviews they did for the original. A movie insider said: 'The reaction to the first movie was incredible and studio bosses feel like people are locked in now, so are bound to buy tickets to see the second film. 'The marketing spend on the first movie was astronomical, so they think they can save a fortune by cutting back this time and just riding on the momentum from part one. 'And hopefully people won't get as tired of Cynthia and Ari this time.' I've heard it's been a long road to complete the second film and despite the fact filming officially wrapped more than 18 months ago, the movie is yet to be completed. I've no doubt this one will still be Popular. Kesha knows how to get a head 8 Kesha posing with a life-like model of her own head Credit: Instagram Kesha gave a very literal meaning to 'losing your head' in her latest social media post. The American singer shared a rather odd video dancing and posing with a life-like model of her own bonce. Kesha captioned the Instagram video: 'What's your red flag?' I think it's safe to say mine is this. Danny's a salad tosser 8 Danny Dyer has teamed up with Deliveroo to inspire Brits with creative barbecue side dishes Credit: Mike Buck / Deliveroo Danny Dyer has confirmed what his critics have long thought, declaring: 'I'm proud to be a tosser.' But his declaration of being a bit of d**k isn't all as it seems. The ex-EastEnders and Rivals actor has teamed up with Deliveroo to create a load of fancy barbecue side dishes. It is in a bid to get Brits to be more creative this summer. He promotes the delivery app's new 'Freshness Promise', which means customers get their money back if groceries aren't brought fresh to their door. Danny, below, who filmed a hilarious video with Deliveroo to announce the launch, said: 'Salads and sides have been mugged off at barbecues, left in the shadows while the main event gets all the glory. 'I'm here to tell you it's time to embrace your inner tosser . . . ' I'll try my best, Danny. Radio 1's Mollie King has revealed she was away from her DJ role to have surgery. The ex-Saturdays singer wrote on Instagram: 'I had to take some time off in July for an operation but everything went well and I'm doing much better now. 'I'll be back on air in September and can't wait.' A taste of the fame game If you love all things showbiz and celebrity, then we have discovered the perfect event for you. A new theatre show called Fame*Factory is launching at Immerse LDN this October. The show in East London is created by Done + Dusted, the team behind the Oscars, MTV's VMAs and the Brits. It gives people the chance to live their very own A-lister dream. As well as spending the night emulating your favourite celebrity, you have your own publicist on hand to help as you embark on making your big-screen debut. Plus, guests will be taught how to pose for the paparazzi, to give an Oscar-worthy speech and be told what not to do in a crisis. Talking of which, the Bizarre team can think of a couple of bona fide stars who could do with a refresher . . . Grease is the word as park hosts Rydell High 8 For just six weeks, Evolution in London's Battersea Park has been transformed into a real-life Rydell High School Credit: Alamy Most people I know have watched Grease ten times over. But I'm willing to bet they haven't seen a version as amazing as Secret Cinema's. For just six weeks, Evolution in London's Battersea Park has been transformed into a real-life Rydell High School. Rather than simply watching the show, you are transported into the story itself, with the scenes between Danny and Sandy, right, playing out around them. From the school canteen to the car mechanics, every key moment is recreated throughout the venue. Blurring the lines between what is part of the performance or not, guests are also encouraged to come in fancy dress. Having never been to a Secret Cinema show before, I was on the fence as to whether it would do film justice. But no expense has been spared on the sets, which include a working fairground. If you're looking for fun on these summer nights, this is the one that you want.
