Meet Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend cover stylist Jared Ellner: the former fashion editor worked on the now infamous album image, and has also outfitted Emma Chamberlain and Sydney Sweeney
Sabrina Carpenter 's Man's Best Friend – featuring the pop star in a stunning archive Dolce & Gabbana minidress – quickly sparked widespread debate. The look was styled by none other than Jared Ellner, who was also the visionary behind her wardrobe in the new 'Manchild' music video.

The cover image, featuring Carpenter on all fours next to a man gripping her hair, received criticism from the public for hyper-sexualising women. In response, the artist released an alternative version she cheekily said was 'approved by God'.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom end 9-year relationship
Pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have split, multiple media outlets reported on on Thursday. Advertisement Outlets including People and USA Today cited a statement that said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and would continue to be seen in public with their daughter. The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect'. The statement came a week after reports of the couple's break-up swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour. Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been romantically linked since 2016. The pair split in 2017 but rekindled shortly thereafter, getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, as Perry revealed during an interview on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'.

Silk shimmers on: how Gucci's The Art of Silk campaign with Julia Garner, Chanel's investment in producer Mantero, and Hermes' famous Twilly scarves show the ancient fabric's lasting appeal
For millennia, humans have carefully harvested the delicate fibre that has given silkworms their name, and woven it into one of the most enduring luxuries besides gold itself. Indeed, in a world where fast fashion endangers any handcrafting left in the apparel industry, true silk – and what it represents – is likely to only become more valuable. Looking through recent runway collections, silk is omnipresent in its various weaves, from chiffon, organza and satin, to pure silk. Among the stand-out examples are the ultra-bohemian olive harem pants at Zimmermann autumn 2025, the tiered sheer silk chiffon dresses at Chanel's candy-coloured cruise 2025-26 show , the pearlescent ruff-necked maxi at Ralph Lauren autumn/winter 2025-26, and the body-skimming midi skirts, blouses and ruched dresses at Gucci cruise 2026.

Photo: Handout Advertisement In March, Gucci launched The Art of Silk , a homage to its century-long love affair with the fabric, with a book and campaign lensed by Steven Meisel and featuring actress Julia Garner, windswept and draped in silk foulards in various patterns. The shimmeringly smooth yet breathable natural fibre is widely believed to have originated in neolithic China, though recent evidence suggests that other Bronze Age civilisations may have also been producing silk around that time, perhaps from the silk-producing larvae of other species of moth. The World History Encyclopedia notes that ancient archaeological records first mention sericulture (the commercial rearing of silkworms for silk) around 3600BC, with the first known examples of woven silk dating from 2700BC, in what is now Zhejiang province. In the 2,500 years between that milestone and the development of the trading routes known collectively as the Silk Road, the fibre, and the fabric it was woven into, became among the most coveted commodities in all the ancient world.

Photo: Handout The Silk Road network developed after the Han dynasty opened up trade with neighbouring regions in 130BC, leading to knowledge of the fabric spreading far beyond Asia – even as China ensured its sericulture techniques were kept a secret for centuries, only making the fabric still more valuable. Famously, in 552, the Roman Emperor Justinian sent two monks on a mission to China, who returned to Byzantium with silkworm eggs or larvae hidden in their walking sticks. The resulting monopoly of European production filled Roman coffers for centuries – until the 7th century Arab conquest of the Persians, also early developers of sericulture, brought the practice to Spain. Later came Venetian merchant Marco Polo's 13th century voyage to China, which promoted the growth of sericulture in Italy. Today, Como remains one of the world's silk-making hubs, due to its prime location and climate, but also due to Duke of Milan Ludovico Sforza's push to plant mulberry trees – on which the silkworms feed – around the lake in the late 15th century, as well as the World War II destruction of Lyon, Europe's main source of supply for several centuries.

Michael Madsen, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill star, dies at 67
Michael Madsen, whose menacing characters in Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill made him a stand-out in Quentin Tarantino's films, has died. He was 67. Madsen was found unresponsive in his home in Malibu, California, on Thursday morning and pronounced dead, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Watch Commander Christopher Jauregui said. He is believed to have died of natural causes and authorities do not suspect any foul play was involved. Madsen's manager Ron Smith said cardiac arrest was the apparent cause. Madsen's career spanned more than 300 credits stretching back to the early 1980s, many in low-budget films. But his most memorable screen moment may have been the sadistic torture of a captured police officer – while dancing to Stealers Wheel's 'Stuck in the Middle with You' – as Mr Blonde in 1992's Reservoir Dogs. He would become a Tarantino regular, appearing in the Kill Bill films and The Hateful Eight.
