Lana Del Rey Channels Retro Glam with '60s-inspired BumpIt Hairstyle at Her Concert in Wales
Del Rey let her light brown tresses go long on stage during her set; her extensions effortlessly waved at the ends as if she'd used TikTok's viral sock curl method. Instead of muting the volume at her roots, Del Rey added a half up, half down BumpIt, a plastic tool used to create bouffant hair.

The 'Diet Mountain Dew' singer partnered with her longtime stylist, Anna Cofone, the visionary behind London-based charity Hair and Care Project. Cofone and Del Rey have famously been friends and collaborators for the last 15 years, working together on campaigns, major red carpets and festival looks.
Monday night's makeup was designed by Pamela Cochrane, the artist responsible for multiple magazine covers starring Del Rey. Cochrane kept her visage in line with her usual look: black liquid eyeliner, brown shadow cut across the crease, arched brows and a nude lip. Her nails were also neutral and filed round.
Del Rey's bouncy hair brought to mind the delicate side of femininity, bolstered by a blue bird 'cottage core' dress, Cartier jewels and strappy sandals. This '60s aesthetic isn't uncommon for Del Rey. In fact, the artist has built her entire persona around it, playing with the different fashion and beauty trends of the era throughout her career. She's been known to sport curly crops, loose beehives, and BumpIts headbands à la Brigette Bardot.
For the 2025 Met Gala, Cofone styled Del Rey's dark brown mane in super-tight pin curls around her head. Pops of blond and caramel-colored highlights poked through in the front, while a gold brooch detail was fastened in the back. The intricate updo took on a life of its own but allowed her mesh and floral-embroidered back to simultaneously shine. Her black gown, designed by Alessandro Michele, also included a velvet front with a drop waist and a satin bubble skirt. Long feathers stuck out from the bow accent on her left shoulder.

FTC sues ticket reseller, saying it illegally exceeded purchase limits for Taylor Swift, other shows
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit Monday against a ticket broker, alleging the company used illegal tactics to exceed purchasing limits for popular events and then resold tickets at significantly higher prices. In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Maryland, the FTC said Maryland-based ticket broker Key Investment Group has used thousands of fictitious Ticketmaster accounts and other methods to buy tickets for events, including Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. According to the FTC, Key Investment Group – which does business under brand names like Epic Seats and Totally Tix – purchased at least 379,776 tickets from Ticketmaster between Nov. 1, 2022, and Dec. 30, 2023. The company spent nearly $57 million to buy the tickets and resold them on secondary marketplaces for approximately $64 million. For just one Taylor Swift concert, Key Investment Group allegedly used 49 different accounts to purchase 273 tickets, dramatically exceeding the Eras Tour's 2023 six-ticket purchase limit per event, the FTC said. Fans were so frustrated by the difficulty getting tickets for Swift's tour that the U.S. Senate wound up grilling Ticketmaster in a 2023 hearing. In a statement released Monday, Key Investment Group said it will vigorously defend itself against the FTC's lawsuit. 'The case threatens to dismantle the secondary ticket market for live events, further consolidating power in the hands of the industry's largest monopoly,' the company said. Key Investment Group said the FTC is misapplying the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, a 2016 law which it said was meant to target malicious software, not legitimate resale businesses. Key Investment Group sued the FTC in July to try to prevent the agency from using the law against it, saying it uses human employees — not bots — to buy tickets. But the FTC said that law also prohibits anyone from circumventing security measures and other controls meant to enforce posted ticket limits. In March, with Kid Rock by his side in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing U.S. officials to ensure ticket resellers are complying with Internal Revenue Service rules. The order also directed the FTC to ensure 'price transparency at all stages of the ticket-purchase process' and to 'take enforcement action to prevent unfair, deceptive, and anti-competitive conduct in the secondary ticketing market."

Downton Abbey fans pay homage to 'beautiful' props before finale
As Downton Abbey draws to a close in September, some fans took solace by getting close to memorable props and costumes from the much-loved British saga as they went on sale Monday. Everyone has their favourite piece, including Charlie Thomas of London's Bonhams auction house which is holding the sale. He had no hesitation in highlighting the "bell wall", the servant's call system which appears from the first series to the last, as his favourite item. "Just to prove it's a working bell, look at that -- I expect someone's going to deliver tea in a minute," he joked while testing out the item, which is valued between £6,000 and £8,000. Thomas, who is in charge of the auction, suspects that it will smash its pre-sale valuation. The online sale began on Monday and will end on September 16, with the public invited to an exhibition of all the items before they go under the hammer. "We've already had a huge amount of interest coming from across the globe, especially from America, from Europe, a lot from northern Europe, from Asia," he added. "People have sort of fallen in love with these characters". - 'Beautiful' - The television series, created by Julian Fellowes, first aired in the UK in 2010 before conquering the world. It tells the story of the wealthy aristocratic Crawley family and their servants over a 30-year period, spanning six seasons and 52 episodes. More than 120 million viewers worldwide have seen the show, according to Bonhams. Two films were released in 2019 and 2022 and a third, "The Grand Finale", is due out on September 12. It will focus on divorce and the Crawley's survival in a constantly changing world. Visitors to the exhibition on Monday viewed the pieces with a reverential eye, with one woman taking a long look at the cane used by Violet Crawley, played by Maggie Smith, who died in September 2024. "It's a beautiful item," she told AFP, without giving her name. "I would like to buy the cane for my mother-in-law who is turning 70, but I am not sure how she'll take it," she added, with a smile. Other highlights include Lord and Lady Grantham's 1925 Sunbeam saloon car, which still runs (valued between £25,000 and £35,000), the dress worn by Lady Mary at her wedding to Matthew Crawley (valued between £3,000 and £5,000), and a pair of harem pants belonging to Lady Sybil, valued similarly. - 'Glamorous' - "My favourite piece(s) right now are just all the dresses. I don't think I could even pick one, they're all just so beautiful," said Hailey Bradley, a 23-year-old American living in London. "It's so glamorous," added Bradley, who described herself as "a big fan." Lucia Campara, an Italian woman from Milan, came with her husband and their 11-year-old daughter, Giulia. She organised the family holiday with the goal of visiting important places in Jane Austen's life, and discovering the worlds of Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. "It's a unique occasion to see all those objects that will soon disappear," she explained. But Campara does not plan to bid, saying: "The best pieces will cost too much and anyway, it is not something you would use in your daily life." Jenny Foster, an 85-year-old British woman, was particularly interested in 1920s dresses, as she expressed her disappointment that the saga was coming to an end. "In fact, I shall probably watch it all again anyway now, because I've forgotten some of it now," she said. The proceeds from the sale will be donated to UK children's charity "Together for Short Lives". ctx/jwp/jj/gv

Dave Davies on how You Really Got Me saved The Kinks, those Jimmy Page rumors – and what he really thought of Van Halen's cover
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Dave Davies isn't quite as active as he used to be after a stroke slowed his pace in 2013. But right now he's busier than usual, promoting The Journey – Part 3, which documents The Kinks' late era. Though the band is best known for You Really Got Me, Waterloo Sunset and Lola from the '60s and '70s, the new set reminds us that late-stage cuts like Come Dancing, Destroyer and Better Things have earned pride of place in the band's catalog, too. 'We had a great comeback,' Davies reflects. 'We had many comebacks! It was like a renaissance with that era. There's so much stuff there. At that point we were playing more live shows. We had new songs, new management, and there was a lot of stuff to go through. It was like a rebirth in America. We were blossoming.' It's no revelation that Davies is a proverbial godfather of distortion, inspiring players who came after him by using new levels of gain, distortion, and fuzz without the help of stompboxes. He achieved his sound by slashing the cone of his amp's speaker, leading to a gnarly, garage-meets-heavy rock tone that, in some ways, launched hard rock and heavy metal. That might sound hyperbolic – but for Davies it's just the truth. 'Well, yes, we did do that,' he states proudly. 'And we did it without any pedals. It just happened, you know? It was really spontaneous. I think I'm most proud of You Really Got Me. It was a great song, and it remains a great song. And it really had a great attitude for the time.' What's your perspective on how The Kinks had impacted heavy rock music and distorted guitar after you tore up your amp's speaker cone? 'I just did that, and it came out as You Really Got Me. Man, we didn't know, but it worked.' What prompted you to tear the cone? 'If I knew I'd tell you! I came up with it one afternoon, and that sound came about. It was like a piece of magic.' There's been a lot of speculation over the years that Jimmy Page recorded the solo for You Really Got Me. 'It's quite ridiculous. It's totally ridiculous that someone can merely try to take credit. It was me – it was a Kinks song. It was The Kinks' sound on a Kinks record. So of course I recorded the solo.' Have you ever spoken to Jimmy Page or session engineer Eddie Kramer about the claims? 'I've never talked to Jimmy about it, no. But I have talked to Eddie, and he denies Jimmy did it.' Was the You Really Got Me solo off the cuff, or did you plan it out? 'It was probably off the cuff. There's really no way one could plan that. I don't remember the gear; it all happened so quickly. We were thankful for it because we maybe wouldn't have been The Kinks if we hadn't found that sound. The albums hadn't been doing well; we weren't doing great, really. And suddenly, with You Really Got Me, we kind of surprised people.' What were your thoughts on the Van Halen version of You Really Got Me from 1978? 'Well, I thought it was quite funny-sounding! It was very good as well, though. I've gotten used to it!' Did you ever talk to Eddie Van Halen about how you influenced him? 'Sadly I never got to meet him. He had great success with that version of You Really Got Me. He even played it on tour. And we had really great success with it, so I'm happy with it.' The Journey – Part 3 is on sale now. Solve the daily Crossword
