Dua Lipa Celebrates Her 30th Birthday Early in a Custom Backless Dress
Known for their fierce and confident nature, it's no surprise Leos are some of the Zodiac's most stylish stars. Between Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa, Leo suns are setting a high bar for next month's Virgos (see Beyoncé and Zendaya). On August 12, Lipa celebrated her 30th birthday in true Leo fashion: wearing head-to-toe designer, including a cutout-heavy Jacquemus dress.
While Kylie Jenner rang in her 28th birthday at her Calabasas home, alongside Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, Lipa jetted off to Mykonos, her "favorite island," with her "favorite people." Her birthday isn't until August 22, but the Grammy winner already shared post-party pics on Instagram, starring "the most gorgeous dress Simon made for me." That's Simon Jacquemus, creative director of Jacquemus and Lipa's close friend, who designed a high-neck, backless number for the occasion. (He also received an invitation to Mykonos, of course.)
The birthday girl's custom dress was just as photogenic as the oceanside backdrop, as white micro-mini sequins shined from head-to-toe. It could easily double as a bridal little white dress once her wedding rolls around.
The "Don't Start Now" singer's back was on full display, alongside an additional cut-out atop her hip. At first glance, the hip strap mimicked the thinness of a thong, but alas, this whale tail trick was just an illusion. It was connected to the sequin bodice.
The price tag of Lipa's birthday dress will forever remain under wraps—it's custom, after all. The four-figure status of Lipa's accessories, however, is no secret. First, the Tiffany & Co. ambassador frosted herself in the silver Peretti Side Cuffs in various asymmetrical silhouettes. They match her Victoria diamond stud earrings, also in silver hardware.
Suddenly, her budget jumped to five-figures with Tiffany & Co.'s Schlumberger Status Ring, which retails for $50,000. That's a few thousand less than the (rumored) $47,000 price tag of her four-carat engagement ring. To finish, Lipa carried the studded Mini Jodie Bag from Bottega Veneta, one of the rarest finds in her collection.

Sure, Lipa is on her birthday trip, but her latest looks have also read very bridal. For her first outing in Mykonos, the bride-to-be went viral in all-white Chloé, including a boho-chic blouse, plus a matching ruffled swimsuit. The next day, Lipa's ivory streak continued with a polka-dot bikini from Inalbis.
Since she said "yes" to fiancé Callum Turner in late 2024, Lipa's kept any and all wedding updates under wraps. In a June cover interview with Vogue, she shared she "wanted to finish my tour" before walking down the aisle. Lipa's Radical Optimism tour picks up again on September 1 and finishes in December, so perhaps she's planning an early 2026 wedding where she can wear her custom Jacquemus dress once again.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Haven't Seen Each Other in 'Weeks' but Are 'Making It Work' After He Misses Her Birthday: Source
"Timothée's schedule is grueling, with very little downtime," a source tells PEOPLE of the 'Dune: Messiah' actor NEED TO KNOW Timothée Chalamet missed girlfriend Kylie Jenner's 28th birthday earlier this week Despite fan speculation, a source tells PEOPLE that the pair are still dating as they navigate busy schedules They were spotted together last month during a vacation in France before the actor left to film Dune: Messiah in Europe Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are going strong as they navigate their long-distance relationship. When the actor, 29, missed the makeup mogul's 28th birthday celebration earlier this week, fans began to wonder if they split. However, a source tells PEOPLE the couple is still together, citing their busy schedules for why they've been spending more time apart. 'They haven't seen each other for a few weeks only because Timothée's been filming Dune in a studio in Budapest, and Kylie's been working too,' the source says. 'She visited him in July." "But even though Kylie has a private jet, the flight is still 12 hours," the source adds. "She's a mom and she works as well. She has a lot of responsibilities in LA. Timothée's schedule is grueling, with very little downtime.' 'They're making it work though,' the insider continues. 'They FaceTime most days. They miss each other and are totally fine.' Another source adds that Chalamet's travels will continue as he prepares to head to Jordan and Abu Dhabi for the next leg of filming. The star marked another year around the sun on Aug. 10 with a chic dinner party thrown by her sister, Kendall Jenner. In a series of photos and videos posted to Instagram, Kylie shared a peek into the festivities, which included a painting session, pictures in a photo booth and several cakes. 'best birthday ever!!!!!!!' she wrote in the caption. 'I'm so grateful to my family and friends for making this weekend so special and full of love. 28 feels so good!!!!! and to my sister @kendalljenner thank you from the bottom of my heart for planning everything so perfectly. I'm so lucky to have you.' Meanwhile, Chalamet has been teasing his upcoming film Marty Supreme on his Instagram, which Kylie subtly supported by liking a clip of the trailer. The couple got to spend some quality time together earlier this summer when they vacationed in France. The weekend getaway came after Kylie attended Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding in Italy. A source told PEOPLE at the time that the pair only had a few days together before Chalamet began filming Dune: Messiah in Prague. 'They hadn't seen each other since before the wedding, so Kylie was really excited when he arrived in France,' the insider revealed, noting that 'they're used to this kind of schedule.' The source also said that Jenner 'will fly to see him when she can,' and shared that 'they're still very happy and just making it work.' 'He knows the next few months will be exhausting, so he's taking a moment to just relax and reset,' the source added. Kylie and Chalamet have been romantically linked since April 2023. They stepped out for their first public appearance together at a Beyoncé concert five months later.

Daily Horoscope for August 16, 2025
General Daily Insight for August 16, 2025 A spicy vibe could be a lot of fun today. The fluctuating Moon moves into inquisitive Gemini at 12:01 pm EDT, pulling our attention in unexpected directions. The element of surprise is likely to intensify once Luna conjoins chaotic Uranus. Still, we can end up with more than simply disorder for the sake of disorder. When the Moon trines action-oriented Mars, we'll have the option to channel our explorations toward productive outlets. Thinking outside the box may provide just the reboot we need! Aries March 21 – April 19 Impulsively striking up a conversation with someone you encounter today could be rewarding. You won't necessarily be able to control how things unfold once you start the ball rolling. As the candid Moon in your communication sector aligns with independent Mars in your relationship zone, your companion may have a potent mind of their own. Any preconceived ideas you have for the future of your bond will need to contend with theirs! If you're open to that, you might wind up with a worthy foil. Taurus April 20 – May 20 You may soon have an opportunity to find out how a change in your finances would alter the rhythms of your daily life. It might not change things as much as you'd think! While the volatile Moon in your resource zone harmonizes with driven Mars in your productive 6th house, you're probably deeply committed to staying whatever course you're on. Having more or less money could affect some of the options available to you, but don't rush to make decisions before you must. Gemini May 21 – June 20 Expressing yourself without inhibition is today's main game. As the melodramatic Moon meets wild Uranus in your sign, you might be seen as unstable by some of the people around you. However, you probably won't get in TOO much trouble. There's likely a recognition, potentially unspoken, that you're saying something true (and something that many secretly agree with). To that end, remember that it's not all about you — set an example for the liberation of others instead of focusing exclusively on your interests. Cancer June 21 – July 22 Something exciting could currently be going on behind the scenes in your world. As the passionate Moon conjoins electric Uranus in your 12th House of Secrets, there's a lot of energy around information that's probably supposed to stay private. This might make it hard for you to maintain secrecy to the extent that it's needed. Avoid putting yourself in an environment where you'll be tempted to spill — proactively retreat to your home or another secluded place where you won't encounter a potential audience. Leo July 23 – August 22 Shaking up your social life might be both fun and helpful — especially if you feel like your regular friend group's habits have grown a little stale over time. As the observant Moon in your 11th House of Community supports confident Mars in your communication zone, you can probably get somewhere by raising your grievances. You simply have to supply an idea for what you'd prefer to see instead. It's possible that others are equally frustrated but less sure of what to do about it. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Making more money might now be a compelling concern for you. This motive is simple, but it could be strong enough to drive you to do something you'd usually find uncomfortable. As the visible Moon conjoins revolutionary Uranus in your 10th House of Reputation, there's a chance that putting yourself out there with a controversial activity or viewpoint would be the most direct route to achieving your material aims. If nothing else, surviving the effort should at least increase your self-confidence! Libra September 23 – October 22 You're currently equipped to serve as a confident advocate for your beliefs. You might also be one who shakes up everyone's preconceived notions. As the intimate Moon meets rebellious Uranus in your ideological 9th house, your viewpoint may be more revolutionary than others would expect from merely looking at you. This is potentially a reality check that your audience needs. Emphasizing your ability to live an ordinary life in spite of holding a controversial or unusual opinion could get them thinking. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Taking a relationship to a deeper level is an option at this time. It's normal to be a little scared about revealing personal information to a companion. You might find the process more bearable if you have a clear idea of your limits. As the fluid Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy checks in with protective Mars in your secrecy sector, you can still choose to keep some things private. Having boundaries doesn't mean you don't love the other person enough! Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 A person you're involved with could seem frustratingly disruptive right now. You may feel like they're impulsively jerking you around for no reason. As the moody Moon in your partnership sector connects with incisive Mars in your community zone, you'll potentially benefit from asking someone outside the situation for advice. You won't necessarily be told what you want to hear, but you can gain valuable insights. Relationship dynamics are often complex, and you might not see your part clearly from your vantage point. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Changing up your present workflow could help you reach your goals more quickly. Although you may hope to have your new process fully planned out before you try it, that won't necessarily be possible. Sure, it won't hurt to sketch out what you can. Whatever you do, while the spontaneous Moon unites with brilliant Uranus in your grounded 6th house, you might reach a point of needing to just jump in. Trust your body's wisdom — some things are best learned by doing! Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Your urge to prioritize pleasure could unsettle you today. Remind yourself that fun doesn't have to be shallow! While the impulsive Moon in your playful 5th house engages with determined Mars in your 9th House of Higher Education, your instinctive curiosity might lead you toward a subject that you'll then want to study in depth. Don't focus too much on goals at this point — let things unfold naturally. You can always make notes along the way regarding future applications for what you're learning. Pisces February 19 – March 20 Identifying what you truly need to feel secure may be crucial now. While the delicate Moon meets unstable Uranus in your domestic sector, you might not be able to have everything on your wish list. However, you can probably have what you want most — if you prioritize it. Joining forces with another person could allow you to do more with less. Although that would likely require you to sacrifice a certain amount of privacy and independence, perhaps you'd be happy enough with the trade-off.

BBC axes Survivor after one series
Survivor has been axed by the BBC. The reality series proved to be a ratings flop, and host Joel Dommett has now confirmed that it won't return for a second series. Joel, 40 - who has also hosted The Masked Singer since 2020 - told The Sun newspaper: "It just shows you how nothing is a given in telly. I thought Survivor would be huge. I thought that would be my job for the next 20 years. "I've done shows and thought that's not coming back and it keeps coming back and then you do something like Survivor, which you think is guaranteed and it doesn't come back." Earlier this year, Joel revealed that he was hoping for a second series of Survivor. The TV star also promised that changes would be made if the show came back. In an interview with the Metro newspaper, he said: 'Fingers crossed … there's a lot of stuff that we would do slightly differently. 'Like with every first series, it's hard, so I think a second series would be amazing. 'Everyone seems to really love it, so I'm excited that – hopefully – [we get to] do another one." The first episode of the rebooted Survivor - which launched in October 2023 - only received 2.6 million viewers, despite airing at the prime-time slot of 8:25pm on a Saturday, after Strictly Come Dancing. Survivor's second episode was then replaced by David Attenborough's Planet Earth III. A TV insider also previously claimed that the BBC was not keen on renewing the programme for another series. The source told the Daily Mail newspaper: 'It has come as a huge surprise that Survivor is coming back. 'It is viewed by many within the Beeb as being a very expensive flop and the general view was that it should – and would – be canned. 'To spend that amount of money on a programme that is watched by such few people surely is a silly way to spend public money."
