Chloé taps Claudia Schiffer to front Chemena Kamali's first summer collection
Schiffer's long blonde hair and spontaneous sensuality have been lensed by British photographer David Sims in a warm, sun-drenched atmosphere. Schiffer is pictured lying on a sofa wearing a swimsuit or a frilled embroidered cotton top and white lace knickers, and slouched on a hammock in white high-waisted jeans and a guipure-collar tank top. The collection also includes flowing dresses, lightweight blouses, floral skirts, crocheted ensembles, shorts, handbags, costume jewellery and sandals.
'Claudia Schiffer has always embodied the kind of cross-generational femininity characteristic of Chloé. When I first met her, I was struck by her natural beauty and authenticity. Her confidence, independence and empathy are a genuine source of inspiration,' said Kamali in a press release. 'For me, summer is a feeling, a memory of escapades, freedom and light-heartedness, and Claudia clearly brings this emotional link with summer to life, a feeling full of sparkle and intimacy,' she added.
The collection is available from May 7 at Chloé stores, on the label's e-shop, and in the 'Chloé à la plage' temporary stores open in Saint-Tropez, Capri and Monte Carlo throughout the summer. Prices range from €350 for the bikini bottom to over €3,500 for the long dress in embroidered lace.

Harry and Meghan sign reduced deal with Netflix
The estranged British royal and his wife have worked with Netflix since 2020, producing documentary "Harry & Meghan" and lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan." The latter showcased the Duchess of Sussex as a thriving domestic maven, hosting guests, harvesting honey and mixing bath salts against an idyllic California backdrop. It has been extended for a second season, and a holiday special due in December, Netflix said. But while the pair's previous Netflix deal bought the streamer exclusive rights to their output, the new multi-year agreement is a "first look deal" In Hollywood parlance, this means Netflix has the right to say yes or no to a project before Harry and Meghan's media company Archewell Productions can shop it around other studios. Typically, first-look deals are less lucrative than exclusive deals, though they also provide producers with more flexibility. "We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the 'As ever' brand," said Meghan, referring to her recently re-branded line of lifestyle products including rose wine and apricot spreads. Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, described Harry and Meghan as "influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere," in the statement. Harry and Meghan wed in a fairytale ceremony in 2018, before splitting from the British royal family and moving to California two years later. Cut off from the royal purse, the pair signed their first Netflix deal in 2020 for a reported $100 million. That figure was never confirmed, and no financial terms have been revealed for the extension. The New York Times reported Monday that the new deal is worth less for Harry and Meghan than the previous agreement, citing a person familiar with the terms. "Harry & Meghan," a six-episode tell-all about their relationship and exit from the House of Windsor, drew 23 million views in its first four days -- a record for a Netflix documentary. Despite withering reviews from critics, "With Love, Meghan" had over five million views in the first half of 2025, making it Netflix's most-watched cooking show. The upcoming holiday special will feature Meghan hosting "friends and family" as they "deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs," the statement promised. Later this year, Netflix will release a short documentary from Archewell Productions about a small orphanage in Uganda.

Emma Thompson shares ‘stalking' story of Donald Trump asking her out
British actress and national treasure Emma Thompson was at the 78th edition of the Locarno International Film Festival this weekend to receive the Leopard Club Award prize at the Swiss festival. During her talk on Saturday, the Oscar-winning Sense And Sensibility and Love Actually actress reflected on the time when Donald Trump asked her to go out for dinner and joked how she could have 'changed the course of American history.' The moment happened while she was filming the 1998 political comedy Primary Colors – which was loosely based on Bill Clinton's 1992 presidental campaign. Thompson shared that she received a call from Trump on the same day her divorce from her first husband, fellow actor Kenneth Branagh, was confirmed. 'It was Donald Trump,' Thompson told the audience. 'He said: 'Hello, this is Donald Trump.' I thought it was a joke and asked: 'How can I help you?' Maybe he needed directions from someone.' 'Then he said: 'I'd love you to come and stay at one of my beautiful places. Maybe we could have dinner.' I said: 'Well, that's very sweet. Thank you so much. I'll get back to you.'' At the time, Trump had just split from his second wife, Marla Maples. Tompson went on to share: 'I realised that on that very day my divorce had finally come through. I bet he has people looking all over for suitable people he could take out, for all these nice divorcees - I mean, he found the number of my trailer! That's stalking!' She added: 'So yes, I could have gone on a date with Donald Trump. I could have changed the course of American history!' This is not the first time that Thompson has shared the anecdote. In 2017, she told Swedish TV host Fredrik Skavlan: 'I didn't know what to do with myself. I was on my own and I just said: 'OK, well I'll get back to you! Thank you so much for ringing.'' Skavlan joked: 'You could be the First Lady. You could have stopped him!' Check out footage of the interview above. Not that the talk in Locarno was exclusively about this headline-grabbing moment – and its implications. The talk covered Thompson's career, and lingered on one of her most famous roles: Karen in Richard Curtis' Christmas romcom Love Actually (2003). Reflecting on the film's popularity, she said: 'I mean, it's honestly a constant source of astonishment to me that that film lasted – not that I don't like the film. I like it very much, but it's weird.' It is weird – and a source of much debate in the Euronews Culture office. Two years ago, we celebrated the film's 20th anniversary by debating whether the classic was a 'charming Christmas-themed Canterbury Tales' or 'infuriating turtleneck porn about a moron who doesn't back up his novel'.

The fourth floor of the boutique houses Dior Spa New York, offering facial and body treatments that combine couture expertise with modern wellness technology.
