Christian Wilkins looks unrecognisable as he gets cosy with A-list fashion designer at glamorous party in the US
Known for his long list of A-list clients, including Madonna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, Scott, 49, posed alongside the Aussie for a selfie, which Wilkins, 30, shared with followers on the weekend.
In the photo, Wilkins, the son of entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins, looked almost unrecognisable in a long black feminine gown which was left open at the front to reveal his deep tan and buff chest.
Wearing his long, flaxen locks in a part, Wilkins sported nude coloured lipstick and a light rouge, as well as foundation.
Scott, seen with his arm around the influencer, sported a pink designer hoodie.

Wilkins also posted a photo of himself lying on a blanket, and a large number of guests could be seen in the background.
'Got disappointing news, looked hot, and met Jeremy Scott. The duality of a night,' Wilkins said in the caption.
Followers were quick to compliment Wilkins on his look.
'Gorgeous, my future husband,' gushed one fan, while another added, 'You look fabulous. I'm so jealous of your hair. It's amazing.'
Another fan wrote, 'It's how you bounce back from disappointment that shows who you are. You are amazing!'
Christian has in the past addressed the criticism surrounding his bold red carpet looks.
The social media star often likes to express himself at events in dramatic frocks, corsets, skirts and high heels.
'It honestly does not really bother me at all,' he told Daily Mail Australia.
'People will say whatever they want to say. And there are far more people saying nice things than there are saying negative things.
'I've always been a very big believer that if you have an opportunity to create visibility for minorities, that you should take that opportunity.
'And I think any potential positives that I'm doing greatly outweigh any negatives.'
Late last year, Christian informed his followers that he has been dealing with some 'pretty intense hormonal health issues' that have changed his appearance.
'The effects of this have been rapid weight gain and water retention in the face and abdomen,' he wrote.
'Off the back of this I've made the decision to finally address one of my contributing factors to the issue, my relationship with food and diet.'
Christian explained he had gained over 23kgs in 18 months, but added that his health has since improved.

Has Smoke been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed Or Cancelled? Smoke is the latest crime thriller on Apple, executively produced by Dennis Lehane, who has produced some excellent projects in the past, including Shutter Island and fellow Apple TV+ project, Black Bird. So after watching this one in its entirety, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here's what we know: What is Smoke about? Smoke is a gritty crime drama set in the rain-soaked forests of the Pacific Northwest. Taron Egerton plays Dave Gudsen, an arson investigator with a haunted past and a flair for storytelling. He's working on a novel, but it's the fires that won't leave him alone. Alongside him though is Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) who plays a sharp, no-nonsense detective and ex-Marine who doesn't tolerate ego or excuses. Together, they're pulled into a string of escalating fires that point to not just one—but two serial arsonists. As the pair dig deeper, personal baggage starts to surface. We have ongoing coverage of Smoke on the site including recaps of every episode. You can find those HERE! Has Smoke been renewed for season 2? At the time of writing, Smoke has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Apple would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Smoke has had a really good reaction from critics and audiences alike, with many commenting (including ourselves) that the plot and humour both work really well together. Given the way this show is set up, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a second season. The series does have plenty of potential and we also know Lehane has been pretty vocal about his plans for a three-season arc to this one. Lehane's interview with The Direct (which you can find here) is well worth a read too as it details a lot of the thought processes that are going into this three-season plan. The ending to season 1 certainly leaves things wide open for a follow-up too, which looks set to follow a more conventional cat and mouse format. However, we could be completely wrong, given Apple don't always renew every show, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point as Apple haven't officially renewed this one. It does feel like it's only a matter of time before it is though, but we'll have to wait and see for the time being. Should it be renewed, we have some big questions. What will happen to Michelle's investigation? What will the fate of the arson investigation team be? Will we see a return of the same characters as before? It seems very likely that this will be renewed, and if it is, we'd expect it to be green-lit with another 9 episode order, and bring back a lot of the old cast too. Do you want to see Smoke return for a second season? What did you think of the show? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Superman actor and MAGA activist has joined ICE
Dean Cain, known for his role as Superman in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, announced his support for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Cain released a video encouraging recruitment for ICE, highlighting benefits such as a $50,000 signing bonus and student loan repayment. He stated his motivation was to help secure the safety of Americans by arresting dangerous criminals, including terrorists and gang members. The announcement drew criticism on social media, with some users suggesting the character of Superman, an immigrant, would be disappointed in Cain's stance. Despite his conservative views and support for Donald Trump, Cain has expressed surprisingly progressive opinions on Superman's character, including supporting a Black actor for the role.

I'd never wear budgie smugglers – but I did once help smuggle a budgie
Incredibly, given all the trouble in the world, we were short of an item or two on my BBC radio show recently. Someone suggested something about budgie smugglers coming back into fashion. Hardly very Reithian, is it? On the other hand, we all need a break from the dark stuff. And anyway, it turned out there was plenty in the budgie smugglers story with which to inform, educate and entertain our listeners. For a start, we needed to define the term. I'd been banging on about budgie smugglers on the radio all morning when I got a text from my mum demanding I explain what the devil these budgie smugglers were. In fact, she was so unfamiliar with the term that she spelt it phonetically using her Croatian keyboard, which renders it 'bađi smagles'. So, to be clear, we're talking men's swimwear, with bađi smagles being the tight, not-leaving-much-to-the-imagination style, as distinct from rather more modest swimming shorts which, mercifully, have become the norm. The tight ones had fallen out of favour but now, someone read somewhere, they were making a comeback. Eyewateringly tight swimming pants have been referred to as budgie smugglers for barely a quarter of a century, the description originating in a 1998 Australian television series called The Games, which satirised the 2000 Sydney Olympics. We can only wonder what kind of twisted mind came up with it, or indeed what kind of gentleman's arrangement they saw that looked as if there might have been a couple of budgerigars down there. I for one have never seen such a thing and certainly have no desire to. I can't get past the thought of some fella, engaged in rearranging things, inadvertently releasing a couple – or would it be three? – relieved budgies, freeing them to live better lives. If the fashion comeback is for real, it'll be good news for the Australian brand, Budgy Smuggler. Shame on them for the spelling but we'll let that pass. Their website says they are 'On a mission to free the thighs of the world'. That's an interestingly demure take on the purpose of their gear. I've always taken these things to be less about freeing anything and more about a) packing things up rather too snugly and b) showing off what there is to be proud of, including, but not restricted to, the thighs. I, needless to say, am very much a swimming shorts man. If you'd given the matter any thought, I hope you'd have reached this conclusion. Take any man, and it's clear which way they lean when it comes to swimwear. Ronaldo's a smuggler all day long. I'd be staggered if a single pair of swimming shorts had ever seen the inside of his wardrobe. Lionel Messi, on the other hand, shorts all the way. Have a Google of this and you'll see I'm right. There is, to be fair, the odd shot of Ronaldo in shorts, but only in ones tailored tight enough to suggest that some kind of smuggling operation is indeed under way. Messi, though, is 100% standard shorts, bless him. In politics I have our prime minister in shorts, as is only right and proper. The only male member of the cabinet I can see in smugglers is Hilary Benn, for some reason. Across the floor, I can imagine Robert Jenrick keeping him company. Nigel Farage, shorts. Lee Anderson, definitely smugglers. Feel free to play this game at home. On the radio I was enjoying myself no end with all this when a listener texted in alleging that in France, budgie smugglers are mandatory! How I laughed! But it's true. Jump into a public pool wearing shorts and you'll be hauled right back out. Hygiene reasons, apparently. I'd have thought that shorts, allowing a bit more freedom and ventilation, would be healthier. But the logic is that you might have been in shorts all day before getting in the pool, whereas you're unlikely, even in France, to have been a man about town in your contrebandiers de perruches. You may by now be wondering if my level of interest in all this is entirely healthy. Well, the truth is, I once had a hand in a budgie-smuggling operation – that is, the smuggling of an actual budgie. I'm not proud of it, but it's time to come clean. In mitigation, this was in the 1970s and I was but a child. Auntie Lily and Uncle Sid, Lily being my grandad's sister, had long lived in Perth, Australia. But now they decided to live out their days back in Birmingham. They brought with them a budgerigar called Timmy. Timmy was a most excellent budgie. He'd tilt his head in a sweet way when whistled to, say the odd word, and fly around the front room without crapping everywhere. They loved Timmy. We all loved Timmy. But Lily and Sid didn't love life back in Birmingham, so resolved to return to Perth. Disastrously though, the rules were such that Timmy wouldn't be allowed back into Australia. Disaster. Lily – pardon the slight pun – hatched a plan. She'd smuggle Timmy back to Oz in her handbag. The Timmy training commenced. Day by day we accustomed him to ever longer periods of handbag time which, being a prince among budgies, he soon got the hang of. During the flight Lily planned to feed him and let him out for a quick flap when she went to the toilet. Departure day dawned. The jeopardy was very real. If, God forbid, they were rumbled and Timmy was to be confiscated, Lily even had with her something with which to euthanise him. Quite where she sourced this budgie poison, I know not. But off they went on a flight that still feels like the longest flight I've ever taken, even though I wasn't on it. The wait was awful. Then a three-word telegram arrived: 'All is well.' Oh, the joy. And the three of them lived happily ever after. I am now bracing myself for letters about some ghastly avian health calamity that subsequently came to pass down under, with the finger pointing at our Timmy as budgie zero. Please let it not be so. If it is, as my penance, I'll wear nothing but budgie smugglers, in and out of the water, for the rest of my days. Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?
