Rachel Zegler wears Paolo Sebastian gown inspired by Disney's 1937 classic at the Tokyo premiere of 'Snow White'
Rachel Zegler captivated audiences at the Tokyo premiere of Snow White in a custom Paolo Sebastian gown that pays elegant tribute to the original 1937 Disney classic.
The couture gown brings to life the haunting 'daggered heart box' motif carried by the Evil Queen. Crafted from Italian tulle, the white strapless ball gown features a caged corset bodice with exposed boning and took 250 hours to complete by hand.
At the centre of the gown sits a bejewelled heart made entirely of crimson and garnet Swarovski crystals, pierced by a dagger formed from two mirror shards—an homage to the Queen's 'Magic Mirror.'
'This custom couture gown brings to life the iconic 'heart box' motif from the original 1937 classic,' said Creative Director Paul Vasileff. 'The daggered heart on the Evil Queen's heart box is such a powerful icon from the Disney film archive. It's a symbol of the dark fate that awaits Snow White, as well as one of triumph when the huntsman tricks his own queen.'
Vasileff added, 'Rachel's beauty and strength in reimagining this beloved role proved our ultimate inspiration—celebrating our heroine overcoming the ultimate evil.'
Completing Zegler's red carpet look were pointed white heels adorned with matching red hearts, and a flowing red hooded opera coat made from Italian silk faille—both echoing the fairytale's visual drama.
While the Tokyo premiere dazzled with fantasy and symbolism, insiders told The Daily Mail that the UK will not receive a cinematic celebration for the film's upcoming release. Instead, Disney is reportedly keeping publicity low-key, anticipating potential backlash.
Disney's live-action Snow White is set to be released in theatres on March 21, 2025.

Everything you need to know about The Gentlemen season 2 – release date, cast, plot, filming updates, and more
Netflix has officially announced that filming is underway for Season 2 of The Gentlemen, the crime drama series created by filmmaker Guy Ritchie. Following the critical success of Season 1, which premiered in 2024 and was praised as one of Ritchie's finest works, the new season promises to expand the story's scope and tension. Guy Ritchie returns as creator, writer (alongside Matthew Read), and director, working with co-director Eran Creevy. Season 2 will continue the story of Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass, portrayed by Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, respectively. The returning cast includes Daniel Ings, Ray Winstone, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, and more. Set one year after Eddie and Susie allied with Bobby Glass's international criminal network, the new season sees the duo trying to grow their empire amid Bobby's increasingly unstable leadership. This forces them into a difficult position—either take bold action or risk losing everything they've built. In a Netflix press release, Ritchie shared that the second season would 'deliberately expand both geographically and thematically,' moving between the English countryside and the Italian lakes. 'The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I'm thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew,' he added. Alongside the returning ensemble, the new season brings in high-profile talent including Hugh Bonneville, Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, and Giancarlo Esposito, among others. The Gentlemen Season 2 is currently in production in the UK and will stream exclusively on Netflix. Fans can expect the same blend of dark humor, high-stakes crime drama, and Ritchie's signature stylized storytelling. Further updates are expected as filming progresses.

Dior shows Maria Grazia Chiuri's cruise collection in Rome
PARIS: French fashion house Dior showed creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri's cruise 2026 and fall-winter haute couture 2026 collections at a fashion show in the gardens of the Villa Albani Torlonia in Rome on Tuesday at night. Guests sat under transparent umbrellas as models marched past on a gravel walkway lined with hedges. They paraded sheer gowns covered with lacework, textured dresses with rows of ruffles and long, tailored coats - mostly in white, ivory and nude colors. A sharp-shouldered trench coat, military jackets and tailcoats over skirts brought contrast to the airy looks, as did a few dresses in red or black velvet. Billie Eilish takes top prize at American Music Awards After the show, Chiuri rounded the gardens for her bow as the audience stood, cheering and clapping, while mist rose from the gardens. The catwalk presentation, which drew on references to Italian cinema and theatre, follows last week's cruise fashion show from Louis Vuitton, another LVMH-owned label, in Avignon, France. The shows come as the luxury industry grapples with a prolonged slump in business, and a number of high-end fashion labels are seeking new creative direction to reignite interest from shoppers.
