Jacquemus unveils takeover at Monte-Carlo Beach Club
French fashion house Jacquemus has teamed up with the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer for a seasonal collaboration with the Monte-Carlo Beach Club.
Running through October 7, the activation marks Jacquemus' first full-scale hospitality integration in Monte-Carlo.
At the centre of the collaboration is a reimagining of the Beach Club's historic pier and Pool Café, now styled in Jacquemus' signature palette of banana yellow, coconut milk white, and graphic black stripes.
The visual identity, drawn directly from the brand's 'La Croisière' collection presented in January 2025, is applied to sunbeds, parasols, beach towels, and café furnishings, creating a cohesive and highly Instagrammable guest experience.
In addition to the design transformation, two exclusive Jacquemus boutiques have opened within the Beach Club. The boutique interiors feature a drawing by Renoir, another by Matisse, complemented by furniture and books that evoke the Provence region so beloved by the designer.
The activation is part of a broader evolution at Monte-Carlo Beach, which has recently undergone several strategic upgrades, including the Michelin-star recognition of its Elsa restaurant, the launch of new padel courts, and upcoming restaurant openings.

Trump gives Elon Musk an Oval Office sendoff
US President Donald Trump bid farewell to Elon Musk in the Oval Office on Friday. Musk is leaving his position spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and is rededicating himself to his businesses, including electric car maker Tesla, rocket company SpaceX and social media platform X. The US President credited Musk with 'a colossal change in the old ways of doing business in Washington" and said some of his staff would remain in the administration. Musk left a searing mark on the US federal bureaucracy, including thousands of employees who were fired or pushed out. Some government functions were eviscerated, including the US Agency for International Development, which had provided a lifeline for impoverished people around the world. Boston University researchers estimate that hundreds of thousands of people have already died as a result of the cuts. Trump gifted Musk what appeared to be a gold-coloured key for his work for establishing DOGE, which sought to layoff federal workers and close government agencies to achieve cost savings. Trump said that he would only bestow this gift to "very special people" and that it was a "presentation from our country." In response, Musk said: "I hope to continue to provide advice whenever the president would like." "I hope so," Trump cut in before Musk said he hopes to still achieve $1 trillion in federal spending cuts over time. 'He's going to be back and forth, I imagine,' Trump said. Trump noted that DOGE employees will remain embedded with government agencies and said the billionaire will probably want to keep tabs on 'his baby.' French President Emmanuel Macron warned the US and Indo-Pacific nations on Friday night that they risk a dangerous double standard as they concentrate on a potential conflict with China, if it comes at the cost of abandoning Ukraine. Macron's remarks come as the US considers withdrawing troops from Europe to instead deploy in the Indo-Pacific. He warned abandoning Ukraine would threaten US credibility in deterring potential conflict between China and Taiwan. "If you consider that Russia could be allowed to take a part of the territory of Ukraine without any restriction, without any constraint, without any reaction of the global order, how would you phrase what would happen in Taiwan, what would you do the day something happened?' he asked in a speech. Macron's comments were made during his keynote address at Shangri-La Dialogue security conference in Singapore. It is the region's biggest security forum that comes amid concerns of China's growing assertiveness and the global impact of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Notable was the fact that it the speech was delivered with US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth in the audience. Rhetoric between Beijing and Washington is heightening. The US has threatened China with triple-digit tariffs. There is uncertainty in the region over the commitment of the US to Taiwanese security – which also faces possible 32% American tariffs. China claims Taiwan as its own. Chinese President Xi Jinping hasn't ruled out taking it by force. China regularly sends military aircraft and ships near Taiwan and currently has an aircraft carrier southeast of the island. The US has been pursuing a "free and open Indo-Pacific policy,' which includes regularly sailing warships through the Taiwan Strait and in the South China Sea.

'Dogefather' Musk vows to stay Trump's 'friend and advisor' in Oval Office farewell
Billionaire Elon Musk bade farewell to Donald Trump in an extraordinary Oval Office appearance Friday, May 30, in which he sported a black eye, brushed aside drug abuse claims and vowed to stay a "friend and advisor" to the US president. As the world's richest person bowed out of his role as the US government's cost-cutter-in-chief, Trump hailed Musk's "incredible service" and handed him a golden key to the White House. "Today it's about a man named Elon," Trump said at a joint press conference with the tech tycoon marking his final day as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump said Musk would still be "coming and going" from the White House after a turbulent four months in which DOGE cut tens of thousands of jobs, shuttered whole agencies and slashed foreign aid. Musk, wearing a black T-shirt with the word "Dogefather" in white lettering and a black DOGE baseball cap, said "I look forward to continuing to be a friend and advisor to the president." Many people's eyes were on the livid black bruise around Musk's right eye. Speculation about the cause was further fueled by accusations in the New York Times Friday that Musk used so much of the drug ketamine on the 2024 campaign trail that he developed bladder problems. 'Horsing around' The SpaceX and Tesla magnate said that his son was to blame for the injury. "I was just horsing around with lil' X, and I said, 'go ahead punch me in the face,'" 53-year-old Musk said. "And he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face actually is..." he added, before tailing off. Musk, however, dodged a question about the drug allegations. The New York Times said Musk, the biggest donor to Trump's 2024 election campaign, also took ecstasy and psychoactive mushrooms and traveled with a pill box last year. Musk, who has long railed against the news media and championed his X social media platform as an alternative, took aim at the paper instead. "Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on the Russiagate?" said Musk, referring to claims that Trump's 2016 election campaign colluded with Moscow. "Let's move on. Okay. Next question." The White House had earlier played down the report. "The drugs that we're concerned about are the drugs running across the southern border" from Mexico, said Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, whose wife works for Musk. Musk has previously admitted to taking ketamine, saying he was prescribed it to treat a "negative frame of mind" and suggesting his use of drugs benefited his work. 'Tech bros' The latest in a series of made-for-TV Oval Office events was aimed at putting a positive spin on Musk's departure. Musk is leaving Trump's administration under a cloud, after admitting disillusionment with his role and criticizing the Republican president's spending plans. It was a far cry from his first few weeks as Trump's chainsaw-brandishing sidekick.

Try for free At one time Musk was almost inseparable from Trump, glued to his side on Air Force One, Marine One, in the White House and at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. The right-wing magnate's DOGE led an ideologically-driven rampage through the federal government, with its young "tech bros" slashing tens of thousands of jobs. But DOGE's achievements fell far short of Musk's boasts when he blazed into Washington brandishing a chainsaw at a conservative event and bragged that it would be easy to cut two trillion dollars. In reality, the independent "Doge Tracker" site has counted just $12 billion in savings while the Atlantic magazine put it far lower, at $2 billion. Musk's "move fast and break things" mantra was also at odds with some of his cabinet colleagues, and he said earlier this week that he was "disappointed" in Trump's planned mega tax and spending bill as it undermined DOGE's cuts. Musk's companies, meanwhile, have suffered. Tesla shareholders called for him to return to work as sales slumped and protests targeted the electric vehicle maker, while SpaceX had a series of fiery rocket failures.

Black eye? That's just from my son, says Musk
But the South African-born tech magnate said he had a simple explanation: his son had punched him in the face. "I was just horsing around with lil' X, and I said, 'go ahead punch me in the face,'" 53-year-old Musk told reporters when asked how he got the shiner. "And he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face actually is..." he added, before tailing off. "I didn't really feel much at the time but I guess it bruises up." Trump hosted the press conference with Musk to mark the Tesla boss's last day at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk had expressed increasing disillusionment with the job but said he would remain a "friend and advisor." Musk's appearance was overshadowed by allegations in the New York Times that he had engaged in heavy drug use while on the campaign trail for Trump in 2024. Trump said he "didn't notice" the purple bruise next to Musk's right eye, but added: "X could do it, if you knew X." Musk's son X -- full name X Æ A-Xii -- made frequent appearances in the White House when his father was running DOGE's cost-cutting rampage through the federal government. He even sat on Musk's shoulders during the SpaceX magnate's first Oval appearance back in February, and was seen picking his nose next to Trump's "Resolute" Desk. Musk took the chance to joke at French President Emmanuel Macron's expense when it came to his black eye. After Trump was asked for his reaction to a video of Macron's wife apparently shoving the French leader's face, Musk laughed and said: "I've got a little shiner here." Musk, wearing a DOGE baseball cap and a T-shirt saying "The Dogefather," joked about it again when he was asked how he got the injury. "I wasn't anywhere near France," he said.
