Skyline and chill? Bangkok's coolest cinema is literally on ice
If Bangkok in August is a film, for now, it's not the breezy rom-com of your dreams – it's a sweaty, water-logged drama, heavy on atmosphere and low on personal space. The rain doesn't so much fall as loom (but it will, heavy), ready to arrive when you've just dried your shoes. Heat clings like a subplot that refuses to resolve. In such a climate, air-conditioning isn't a luxury – it's a plot device. Which is perhaps why Skyline Film Bangkok has decided to stage the cinematic escapism of watching films on an actual ice rink. Not just cold air, but frozen water beneath your feet. This isn't your usual 'movies under the stars' scenario – it's movies under the rink lights, surrounded by frost and the faint scrape of skates. You get the sort of chill that even a theatre's air-con can't match, plus the unexpected pleasure of pairing popcorn with the faint scent of Zamboni polish. Sub-Zero Ice Skate Club x Skyline Film, a two-day event presents six films for all temperaments – from existential daydreamers to pink-plastic idealists – served with complimentary drinks and the option to glide, twirl or cling nervously to the barrier during free skating sessions. Because if you've come all the way to an ice rink to sit still, you may as well earn it. The setting is Sub-Zero Ice Skate Club Sukhumvit, where August 23-24 will see a parade of genres unfold against a backdrop of cold mist and rinkside chatter. Tickets are B550 – a sum that buys not just a seat, but a mood, an atmosphere, a narrative break from the weather outside. Film schedule: Saturday August 23 Doors open at 1pm (Free Ice Skating 1pm-2pm) Me Before You, 2.15pm Lou Clark, 26, is still working out the plot of her own life when she accepts a job caring for Will Traynor, a wealthy man paralysed in an accident. She's untrained, unprepared and – without warning – pulled into an emotional story she didn't audition for. Doors open at 4.30pm (Free Ice Skating 4pm-5.30pm) Barbie, 5.45pm When Barbie discovers a crack in her flawless facade, she swaps pastel-perfect Barbie Land for the unpredictable mess of reality, with Ken loyally (and cluelessly) in tow. Doors 7.45pm (Free Ice Skating 7.45pm-8.45pm) The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, 9pm A photo archivist at Life magazine daydreams his way out of routine, imagining himself as a globe-trotting hero on impossible adventures – until real life calls him to act. Sunday August 24 Doors open at 1pm (Free Ice Skating 1pm-2pm) Beauty and the Beast, 2.15pm Belle's imprisonment in a castle ruled by a Beast raises an old question: can love outgrow appearance? Doors open at 4.30pm (Free Ice Skating 4.30pm-7.30pm) The Theory of Everything, 5.45pm The romance of Stephen Hawking and Jane Wilde begins in light and brilliance – until his diagnosis reshapes their future, without dimming their bond. Doors open at 7.45pm (Free Ice Skating 7.45pm-8.45pm) One Day, 9pm Dexter and Emma meet on graduation day, then reunite on the same date every year – a friendship, a maybe-romance, a relationship defined as much by timing as by feeling.

Street style trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week
This week, Copenhagen Fashion Week took place, once again demonstrating why it is considered a melting pot for creative pioneers. Attendees opted for playful patterns, leaving behind familiar clichés, and combined accessories that balanced nostalgia with urban ease. A willingness to experiment with layering created surprising silhouettes, while striking details such as eye-catching collars gave the looks a distinctive touch. An overview of Copenhagen's best street style trends. 101 Dalmatians As if straight from the fashion universe of 101 Dalmatians, polka dots were one of the most striking patterns seen on the streets of Copenhagen Fashion Week. Inspired by the classic black and white look, the dot pattern here finally freed itself from childish associations and Cruella de Vil drama. It presented itself as stylistically mature and creative. Polka dots in Copenhagen Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight (left); Copenhagen Fashion Week Whether as a transparent skirt with a fine dot pattern over a simple slip dress, on a chocolate brown satin skirt combined with an oversized blazer, or as a large-format print on a cream two-piece suit, the dot pattern was used in a variety of ways in Copenhagen. The looks were complemented by accessories such as bandanas, crochet hats, retro sunglasses and structured leather bags. Bandanas While the dots brought playful lightness to the outfits, bandanas lent the looks a touch of boho romance, a hint of pirate flair and a dash of big-city poetry. For SS26, scarves in Copenhagen became a style-defining accessory, sometimes interpreted nostalgically, sometimes with a modern twist. Bandanas in Copenhagen Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Paired with silk tops, playful blouses or simple knitwear, they not only protected from the sun but also rounded off every outfit, whether minimalist or maximalist, with finesse. Models with vintage prints, graphic patterns or delicate lace were particularly effective. Layering Copenhagen Fashion Week once again proved to be experimental in the styling of silhouettes, especially when layering skirts. Layers became a fashion statement. Skirts over trousers, tulle over denim, mini over maxi, all with surprising ease. The looks played with volume, transparency and structure, opening up new ways to completely rethink classic garments. Layers in Copenhagen Credits: Copenhagen Fashion Week Whether a ruffled tulle skirt over jeans, a striped silk skirt over raw denim or an embroidered lace skirt over airy cotton layers, layering became an art form. Statement collars While many looks at Copenhagen Fashion Week focused on flowing fabrics and summery lightness, some ensembles stood out with a deliberate break. Jackets with striking stand-up collars, known as funnel necks, became the dominant element. Instead of being understood as mere weather protection, the high collars moved to the centre of styling and played a decisive role in defining the silhouettes. Funnel necks in Copenhagen Credits: Copenhagen Fashion Week Whether interpreted in a sporty way in a cream-coloured anorak with a ruffled collar, which appeared almost sculptural in combination with a patterned layered skirt, or in dark, structured denim with a bulky stand-up collar and cropped cut, the jacket became a statement piece thanks to its collar. Even in oversized models with minimalist colouring, the raised collars played a central role and echoed the penchant for dots for SS26. Babies on board Without a doubt, the most valuable accessory of the season in Copenhagen was neither an expensive designer bag nor flashy sunglasses. Rather, it was something that cannot be bought: a mother's love, and at the same time, impressive proof that women really can do it all. Babies on board in Copenhagen Credits: Copenhagen Fashion Week While one of the designers of the duo behind the Rave Review brand skilfully balanced a baby on her hip during the final applause of their SS26 show, mothers on the streets of Copenhagen demonstrated how to integrate their offspring into their outfits with casual style – a contemporary interpretation of "mama chic".

Why Jeff and Freddy Brazier have called an uneasy truce over ban on gran Jackiey – as shock twists behind feud revealed
Read on to find out who the surprising 'peacekeeper' was during the bitter row - and Jeff's shock new legal move FEUD OVER Why Jeff and Freddy Brazier have called an uneasy truce over ban on gran Jackiey – as shock twists behind feud revealed IT is a toxic tale of drug use, 'spying' claims and a ruthlessly aggressive public slanging match that has cast a dark shadow over the legacy of Jade Goody. Today, The Sun can reveal the tense, behind-the-scenes machinations that have seen the late reality star's mum, Jackiey Budden, and the father of her two boys, Jeff Brazier, reach the unlikeliest of ceasefires. Advertisement 8 8 Jeff Brazier has backed down in his efforts to block contact between his youngest son Freddy and his grandmother Jackiey Credit: Instagram/katebrazierpr 8 Devoted Jackiey Budden insists she has only ever been a loving and supportive grandmother to both of her daughter's children Credit: Tiktok 8 Bobby and Freddy came together to support their dad at a London theatre launch last month Credit: Splash In a shock twist, over recent days Jeff has unexpectedly backed down in his efforts to block contact between his youngest son Freddy and the boy's grandmother. Advertisement This Morning star Jeff has quietly dropped his legal case against Jackiey after his son even threatened to flee the UK with his gran. It was this fragile detente that saw Freddy, his Strictly star brother Bobby and their dad put on a surprising show of unity this week at a London theatre launch, where Jeff is appearing in 101 Dalmatians. A source explained: 'Freddy is back living with Jackiey again at her flat in South London, but still spending time with his dad and brother, too. Effectively they've all made peace for the time being and are trying to make things better again, which is doing them the world of good. 'It's actually the perfect outcome for everyone, and exactly what Jade would have wanted. The boys are happier for it, and the constant in-fighting has stopped . . . for now. 'There's no denying that Jackiey and Jeff will never be the best of friends, or even close, but for now it's a peaceful solution. Advertisement 'Granted, she still calls him a 'c**k' to her friends but, crucially, she never bad-mouths Jeff in front of his kids. 'Freddy remains devoted to her — and was threatening to leave the UK to be with his grandmother abroad if Jeff carried on his legal case. 'Even a few weeks ago, it looked as though things would never calm down again and he was still trying to use the courts to keep the two sides of the family apart. 'But the metaphorical white flag has been raised — there is peace.' Angry backlash Details of the bust-up first emerged earlier this year when TV host Jeff began bizarre court proceedings in a bid to block troubled Freddy, 20, from making contact with his grandmother — insisting her frequent cannabis use was a dangerous influence. Advertisement It sparked an angry backlash from the aspiring model, who raged that nothing would stop him from seeing his beloved 'Nanna' — and they were later photographed smoking what appeared to be a cannabis joint together near her Bermondsey home. Days later, Freddy revealed on Instagram he was preparing to check into a Marbella rehab facility in a bid to 'get clean', before making a swift U-turn and claiming: 'I just need a holiday.' He has also launched a series of furious tirades at his father behind the scenes — even accusing Jeff of spying on him and having him trailed by paparazzi to keep an eye on his behaviour — something the TV host fervently denies. Another incident saw his father turn up unannounced at a London hairdressers to confront him about spending time with Jackiey. It is understood Jeff has now parked his plans to pursue legal action, recognising that the expensive legal filings and potential court bid would do little to dissuade his son from contacting Jackiey. Advertisement 8 Freddy posted a TikTok dancing with his gran Jackiey Credit: TikTok/@fredbrazier04 8 Bobby and Freddie were just five and four years old when they lost their mum Jade Credit: Rex Features The pair have long been extremely close, and Freddy has regularly gushed about her important role in his life. But he has also enjoyed a growing relationship with his dad in recent years, including appearing together on TV hit Celebrity Race Across The World, where their quirky but likeable double act proved popular with viewers. Devoted Jackiey has insisted that she has only ever been a loving and supportive grandmother to both of her daughter's children — and said she could never understand Jeff's efforts to divide them. Advertisement She added: 'All these years, I've been the closest thing to their mum.' Meanwhile, Freddy has opened up a new battle after splitting from his girlfriend, Holly Swinburn, following a furious row between the pair, who are now accusing one another of wrong-doing in a dispute, with each threatening to escalate the row by involving the police. In June, Freddy was spotted on a date with influencer Natasha Newcombe. Jade, who shot to fame in Big Brother in 2002, passed away in 2009 aged just 27 after a harrowing battle with cervical cancer. The run-up to her death, broadcast and documented in painful detail, gripped the nation and brought a surge in cancer screenings dubbed the 'Jade Goody effect'. Advertisement Before she passed away, she begged Jeff to take care of her two sons, then aged just five and four. He has always insisted he tried to do the right thing by them, often in private, steering them away from the spotlight in their early years. But the tension between him and Jackiey — Jade's eccentric and outspoken mum — has simmered ever since. Jackiey, a former drug addict who raised Jade alone, was known for her brash style and fiery public appearances, including a famously awkward stint on Celebrity Big Brother alongside Jade in 2007. Storm has calmed She claims she has been unfairly sidelined over the years and struggled to maintain a consistent presence in her grandsons' lives due to her feud with their father. Advertisement Freddy's older brother Bobby, now 21, has taken a different path, enjoying a rise from quiet teenager to Strictly finalist and EastEnders heart-throb. He has largely kept his distance from the drama and maintained a diplomatic relationship with both sides of the family, having instead devoted his time to the Hare Krishna movement after becoming involved with the religion in recent years. He was seen this week wearing the group's trademark orange outfit in central London as he took part in one of their rituals. Insiders say Bobby has acted as a 'peacekeeper' during the row, urging his dad and gran to let Freddy make his own choices — and speaking regularly to each of his relatives. A friend said: 'Bobby's had a lot on his plate with work but he is close to Freddy and just wants everyone to get on for his sake. He misses Jade every day and knows that she wouldn't want this fighting.'

The boys remain at the heart of their late mother's legacy, and will soon be the beneficiaries of a trust fund left to them, with instructions that it could not be accessed until they reached their mid-twenties — except for education and healthcare. As one insider adds: 'They're growing up fast and have so many opportunities. Advertisement 'And soon they will get the money Jade left for them too, which should give them the strong start in their adult life she always wanted for them. 'Hopefully the peace holds, but when it comes to Jackiey and Jeff, the next fallout could easily be just around the corner.'
