Boucheron debuts first Los Angeles boutique on Rodeo Drive
Located on Rodeo Drive, the 5,296-square-foot space serves as Boucheron's West Coast flagship.
The boutique concept draws inspiration from Hollywood, characterized by a Boucheron green carpet, reinterpreting Hollywood's famous red carpet. Inside, the layout is composed of distinct areas that highlight the Maison's creative vision, culminating in a VIP space designed to capture the exclusive energy of an Oscar after-party.
Accessible via a staircase lined with wallpaper featuring Boucheron's historic advertising campaigns, the room invites guests into a dramatic, cinematic setting. Shades of violet, pink, and blue dominate, accented by silver satin and touches of bitter orange.
Completing the space are original portraits of Elizabeth Taylor and Rita Hayworth displayed alongside the pieces they once wore, a nod to the Maison's enduring relationship with American cinema and style.
Meanwhile, the exterior facade draws inspiration from nature interpreted through an art deco lens, crafted in a green terracotta volcanic stone component. The nature that we find on the façade also continues inside with the bas-reliefs on the wall.
Lastly, throughout the store, handpicked unique pieces contribute to the overall charm and character.

'Weapons': Why no one needs a prequel to the box office hit of 2025
While it was highly anticipated, Zach Cregger's Weapons has become the breakout hit of the summer no one expected. Not only did the American filmmaker's sophomore horror film top the box office during its debut weekend and has raked in a reported $92 million internationally at the time of writing (on a budget of $38 million), it's also become one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2025. For those who haven't yet had the pleasure, Weapons is a mystery horror gem that takes place in the aftermath of the disappearance of 17 children, who all leave their homes one night at precisely 2:17am. They run into the night and are never seen or heard from again. In our (glowing) review for Weapons, we wrote: 'Cregger skilfully employs a Rashomon-style narrative construction to craft a distressing fairytale that starts off as a small-town mystery thriller with shades of Twin Peaks and Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners. And his novelistic approach pays off, as it only furthers quite how much Stephen King must be green with envy that this suburban US nightmare isn't his baby.' We added: 'Weapons has become the tense and deliriously entertaining horror film to beat this year. Considering 2025 has already been good to the genre, with Presence, Sinners, The Ugly Stepsister, 28 Years Later and Bring Her Back – to name but a few highlights – that should tell you plenty.' But because we can't have nice, self-contained things, there's trouble afoot... There are only three certainties in life: death, taxes and Hollywood greed. The slightest whiff of buzz and box office glory and opportunistic studios start getting ideas, seeking to milk creative properties dry. And because Weapons is a hit, a prequel has apparently been tabled, with Cregger reportedly in early talks for a time-reversing follow-up. Per an exclusive report from The Hollywood Reporter, Cregger is in early discussions with Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema for an origin film set in the Weapons universe – with the prequel focusing on the film's mysterious antagonist. Warning: mild spoilers ahead. The prequel would focus on Amy Madigan's character Gladys – this demented fairytale's witch, who cast a spell on the kiddies and ends up meeting a particularly gruesome end. On a surface level, a prequel could make some artistic sense. Weapons is a non-linear story that explores multiple viewpoints, and the film never gets Gladys' perception. There's no doubt that Madigan would ace it if she were to return to the role, and Cregger has proven that he's not to be underestimated. However, one of the many reasons why Weapons works so well is a lack of backstory for the evil character. We don't need answer dumps or to be clued up on the 'why' behind her nefarious motivations; it's a lot creepier when these elements remain unknown. Prequels not only run the risk of botching continuity, canon and tension, but dish out unnecessary explanations. Recent examples like The Hobbit trilogy, Furiosa and Wonka prove it. Moreover, they are always poison when it comes to the most interesting characters: villains. A villain origin story that reveals motive ruins mythology, quashes audience imagination, and tanks the scare potential of a truly excellent antagonist. Norman Bates is far more scary without a motive. Darth Vader definitely lost his threatening edge when George Lucas decided to go back and unveil his entire backstory. Hannibal Lecter is much less frightening once you've been force fed the origins of his cannibalistic ways. And the nightmares triggered by aunt Gladys will be more underwear soiling if audiences are purposefully kept in the dark about why she's parasitically invading families' spaces and terrorising small towns. 'It's a lot scarier when there's no motive, Sid.' Wise words from Billy Loomis in the first (and best) Scream film. So, Mr. Cregger, if you're reading... First of all, congrats and enjoy your moment – it's merited. Secondly, please don't bend to studio pressure and fight for Weapons to be a standalone. We understand you're already busy with the upcoming Resident Evil film, as well as an original film you're reportedly working on titled Flood. Do those. And if you won't listen to Euronews Culture, please listen to Billy. Murderous tendencies aside, he had a point.

TIME Magazine celebrates first ever 'Girls of the Year' list
TIME Magazine, known for its annual celebrations of the world's most remarkable individuals, has published its first-ever Girls of the Year list today. The magazine has honoured '10 extraordinary young leaders' between the ages of 12 and 17, who are 'inspiring communities around the world.' 'The initiative celebrates and amplifies the voices of inspiring young women who are building the future and turning imagination into impact', TIME said in a statement. Among the honourees is 15-year-old French singer Zoé Clauzure, whoo won the 2023 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with her anti-bullying pop anthem 'Coeur.' In 2024, Clauzure became the youngest-ever Ambassador for Peace at the Non-Violence Project, a non profit dedicated to promoting peace. The list also distinguished Mexican racing driver Ivanna Richards, 17, who hopes to one day compete in the male-dominated Formula 1. In the meantime, Richards takes part in Mexican racing series, and she participated in a test drive for the female-only F1 Academy championship in 2024. Other "Girls of the Year" include 12-year-old scientist Clara Proksch from Germany, 17-year-old Polish scientist Kornelia Wieczorek and Japanese skateboarder Coco Yoshizawa, 15, who won a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. 'These girls are part of a generation that's reshaping what leadership looks like today,' said TIME's Senior Editor Dayana Sarkisova. 'Their generation understands that change doesn't require waiting for adulthood - it starts with seeing problems and refusing to accept them as permanent.' The Girls of the Year list was made in partnership with the LEGO Group. The company launched its 'She Built That' campaign in June to fight sexist stereotypes and empower little girls. LEGO found that 72% of parents still feel girls lack visible female role models who build the world, according to a survey on more than 30,000 parents and children in 21 countries. In addition to its Person of the Year feature, TIME regularly honours influential people through its TIME 100 lists. In 2019, the magazine released 89 covers to celebrate 100 women from 1920 to the current era. Since 2022, TIME has also awarded the Women of the Year title to several women from various fields each year. The 2025 list includes actress Nicole Kidman, gymnast Jordan Chiles and sexual assault survivor Gisèle Pelicot.

‘Baby Shark' song not plagiarised, South Korean top court rules
South Korea's Supreme Court ruled today that the globally popular children's song 'Baby Shark' was not plagiarised, ending a six-year legal battle over an American composer's copyright claim. US composer Jonathan Wright accused South Korean kids content company Pinkfong of copying elements from his own earlier version of the tune. He filed a lawsuit in Seoul in 2019 and sought 30 million won (approx. €18,500) in compensation. Wright, also known as Johnny Only, released his version in 2011, four years before Pinkfong's, but both were based on a traditional melody popular for years at children's summer camps in the United States. South Korea's top court upheld lower court rulings dating back to 2021 and 2023 that found no sufficient grounds to conclude Pinkfong infringed on Jonathan Wright's copyright. Throughout the case's prolonged run, the courts consistently ruled Wright's version did not differ enough from the original melody to qualify as an original creative work eligible for copyright protection, and that Pinkfong's song had clear differences from Wright's. The Supreme Court said its ruling reaffirms the established legal principle on existing folk tunes as derivative work. 'The Supreme Court accepts the lower court's finding that the plaintiff's song did not involve substantial modifications to the folk tune related to the case to the extent that it could be regarded, by common social standards, as a separate work,' it said in a statement. Pinkfong said in a statement to that the ruling confirmed its version of 'Baby Shark' was based on a 'traditional singalong chant' that was in the public domain. The company said it gave the tune a fresh twist by adding 'an upbeat rhythm and catchy melody, turning it into the pop culture icon it is today.' Chong Kyong-sok, Wright's South Korean attorney, said he hadn't received the full version of the court's ruling yet, but called the outcome 'a little disappointing.' 'Anyway, the matter is now settled,' he said. 'It's our work that came out first, so we can handle the licensing on our side and I guess we then each go our separate ways.' Pinkfong's 'Baby Shark' became a global phenomenon after it was released on YouTube in 2015. A year later, the company uploaded a second video which showed two child actors doing hand movements on the song's catchy "doo doo doo doo doo doo" hook. 'Baby Shark Dance' became the most-viewed YouTube video of all time, now exceeding 16 billion views. The song was also featured in various cultural products, including in The Angry Birds Movie 2 and in TV series The Umbrella Academy. 'Baby Shark' remains a crucial product for Pinkfong, which earned 45.1 billion won ($32.6 million) in revenue in the first half of 2025, according to its regulatory filing. The company has turned the five-member shark family - Baby Shark, Mama Shark, Papa Shark, Grandma Shark, and Grandpa Shark - into TV and Netflix shows, films, smartphone apps and globally touring musicals.
