Emma Stone and Nicolas Ghesquière's Real-Life Friendship Takes Center Stage in Vogue's September Issue
What better time to try something larger than life than the September issue? For Nicolas Ghesquière, that meant creating a miniature Louis Vuitton collection of couture-like caliber, exclusively for Vogue. And who better to wear these one-of-a-kind garments than our cover star, and the designer's longtime friend, Emma Stone? 'Whatever he does is special and surprising and exquisite,' Grace Coddington, the shoot's fashion editor, says of Ghesquière, 'but this was somewhat on another level because it was couture, which is something he hasn't tried before.' While Ghesquière worked closely with Vogue to bring the looks to life for Stone's Avignon shoot, the looks came, as Coddington puts it, from 'him and a dream.' Ghesquière created six distinct, handcrafted looks for Stone's cover shoot—six different characters for her to embody. 'Who will this be?' asks Stone, dressed in a beaded, high-neck dress with draped, wing-like sleeves. 'The idea was to imagine she was a charismatic leader of a ballet academy,' Ghesquière says of the dress, aptly dubbed 'The Ballerina.' 'She is a great dancer,' he adds of Stone, 'I wanted to express that in the movement.' Also among the duo's roster of characters: 'The Driver,' a leather jumpsuit meant for boundary-breakers, which Stone wore to galivant on the roof of the Palais des Papes; 'The Innocent,' a knit jumpsuit with tiers of ruffles, represents Stone's open-hearted approach to acting, namely her Oscar-winning role as Bella in in Poor Things; 'The Host' a black playsuit with a sculptural sweetheart bust, casts the actor as the host of an imaginary cabaret, inspired by Ghesquière and Stone's real-life friendship. For the pair, the shoot is a full-circle moment, another chapter in their long history. 'The things that he's designed took me through my wedding day, took me through big moments in my life,' Stone says of her long friendship with Ghesquière. 'It feels like I always get to have a piece of him with me.' Watch on as we go behind the scenes of Emma Stone's September cover shoot.

Linkin Park's Debut Album Is Back In A Big Way
Linkin Park's music is surging once again in the United Kingdom, which happens regularly. The band is in the middle of its From Zero World Tour, which recently wrapped a European leg that included stops in Germany, France, and England. Several of the Grammy winner's projects are climbing the charts, with fans in the United Kingdom focusing on Hybrid Theory, as the group's debut full-length mounts an impressive comeback. Hybrid Theory Returns to Three Charts This week, Hybrid Theory appears on six different U.K. albums rankings. The project returns to half of them, doubling the number of charts where it's found. It's a top 40 seller again on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, reentering at No. 37. The set also returns to both the Official Album Downloads and Official Albums rankings, landing at Nos. 65 and 87, respectively. Linkin Park Surges Into the Top 10 At the same time it reappears on those three tallies, Hybrid Theory jumps on the other three it already occupied last frame. The set breaks back into the top 10 on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, climbing from No. 11 to No. 6. It also reaches the top 40 on both the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums lists, improving by more than 10 spaces on each to Nos. 36 and 39, respectively. Hybrid Theory Has Hit the Top 10 Everywhere In the past, Hybrid Theory has reached the top 10 on every U.K. chart it's touched, though it has only managed to lead one: the Official Rock and Metal Albums list. Its lowest peak remains the No. 6 position, where it stalled on the Official Vinyl Albums roster. The album's chart longevity varies widely from list to list. It has only just passed the half-year mark on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, where it is now up to 27 weeks. On the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, however, it has logged more than 1,000 frames and is almost always present somewhere on the tally. Four Linkin Park Albums Chart Together Hybrid Theory is one of four Linkin Park releases that are currently charting in the U.K. The band's comeback set From Zero, which arrived less than a year ago, reenters three lists and rises on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, where Meteora can also be found. Papercuts, a compilation of many of its biggest hits from before the group's most recent era, is also climbing on several rankings at the same time.

Palace claim sporting merit 'meaningless' after Europa League demotion
Premier League side Crystal Palace said on Tuesday that sporting merit had been "rendered meaningless" by UEFA's decision to demote them from the Europa League. The FA Cup winners have been forced to play in this season's Conference League after European football's governing body UEFA ruled in July that American businessman John Textor had control or influence at both Palace and French club Lyon. Palace tried to have the punishment overturned, but on Monday the Lausanne-based Court of Arbitration for Sport announced the Premier League club had lost their appeal. Nottingham Forest are set to take Palace's spot in the Europa League. Palace chairman Steve Parish had already been vocal in his criticism after the initial demotion and, with their fate sealed, the south London club again blasted the decision. "At a time when we should be celebrating our victory in the Community Shield at Wembley, the decision by UEFA and followed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport shows that sporting merit is rendered meaningless," Palace said in a statement. "When we won the FA Cup against Manchester City on that momentous day in May, our manager and players earned the right to play Europa League football. "We have been denied that opportunity. It appears that certain clubs, organisations and individuals have a unique privilege and power. "This growing and unhealthy influence has shattered the hopes and dreams of Crystal Palace supporters, and does not bode well for aspirational teams all over Europe competing to progress when rules and sanctions are unevenly applied in the most flagrant way." UEFA regulations state that where one or more clubs are found to have shared ownership, they cannot play in the same competition, and Lyon held on to the Europa League spot by virtue of their higher league position. Palace missed a March 1 UEFA deadline for team in multi-club groups to change their ownership structure. Textor has since sold his shares to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, a takeover completed in late July. "Multi-club structures hide behind the charade of a 'blind trust' while clubs such as ours, who have no connection to another club whatsoever, are prevented from playing in the same competition," the Palace statement added. "To compound the injustice, clubs that appear to have huge informal arrangements with each other are also allowed to participate and even possibly play against each other. Palace added that the process was "designed to severely restrict and, in our case, make it almost impossible to receive a fair hearing". Palace beat Premier League champions Liverpool in the Community Shield at the weekend, winning a penalty shootout after the match finished 2-2 in 90 minutes. smg/gj
