As for her glam, Lipa's dark tresses were parted in the middle and styled straight, cascading down her back. Lipa's Makeup included bold brows and a glossy lip. Stylist Lorenzo Posocco curated the singer's look.
Lipa's 2025 Chaplin Gala look made its runway debut as part of Paris Fashion Week last March. The collection, curated by artistic director of six years Daniel Roseberry, took inspiration from cowboy core. The trend saw a resurgence in 2023, thanks in no small part to the cultural event that was Beyoncé Knowles-Carter's eighth studio album 'Cowboy Carter.'

Within the collection, 'the hourglass silhouettes took the form of oversize suit jackets with maxi shoulders, while corset lacing was used as a decorative accent on items like a white tank top and scrunched leather pants with a trompe-l'oeil double waist,' Joelle Diderich wrote in WWD's review of the collection.
'Other Surrealist details included a large belt buckle on the neck of a black vest top, and a knuckleduster ring shaped like gold fingers. But the stars of the show were those wildebeest furs, like the cropped shearling jackets with sleeves the size of a side of beef.'

Celine Song Reinvents the Rom-Com With ‘Materialists'—Here's How to Watch
Director Celine Song returns with her highly anticipated sophomore feature, Materialists, a sharp, modern take on romance rooted in New York City's elite dating scene. Following her Oscar-nominated debut with Past Lives, Song shifts from quiet longing to a more incisive, but equally intimate, look at how the search for true love intersects with money and class. The film stars Dakota Johnson as Lucy, a professional matchmaker whose career revolves around helping others find love based on compatibility metrics—sometimes as straightforward as income, age, and status. But when her personal life collides with her work, Lucy finds herself at the center of her own complicated love triangle, torn between Harry (Pedro Pascal), a wealthy private equity client who seems to check every box, and John (Chris Evans), her struggling actor ex who still knows her in a way few others do. While Materialists carries the breezy energy of a classic rom-com, Song layers the story with a deeper examination of the transactional facets of modern dating. As she explained to ELLE, her time spent working as a real-life matchmaker while building her playwriting career exposed her to the unsettling ways people sometimes quantify love. 'While I was a matchmaker, I was asking my clients to describe their ideal partner and the answers were all numbers: height, weight, income, age… While I understood why they were asking for those things, I knew from being in love myself that that's just not at all what love is about or feels like. So [making this] movie was about [striking] the balance between the practical and the fantasy of true love,' she said. For Johnson, Lucy's internal conflict lies at the heart of the film. 'She's at a very interesting time in her life where she's sort of teetering between two worlds,' Johnson told Entertainment Weekly. 'Allowing yourself to be loved is scary, and really loving another person is scary. It's a story of bravery.' Though the film nods to the feel of '90s romantic comedies, Song is clear that Materialists isn't simply a lighthearted love triangle. 'I would actually be more interested in it being talked about as a story of Lucy as she navigates not just the love and dating world in her clients' lives, but also her own personal reality and beliefs about love,' she added. One of the film's most memorable moments comes early on, when Lucy casually orders a 'Coke and beer' at a wedding—a strange combination that, as Song explained to GQ, reveals much about her character's working-class roots and serves as a quiet signal of her history with John, who knows her well enough to bring her the drink without asking. 'It speaks to Lucy's character, about her background, and where she comes from,' Song said. 'It's meant to be a weird thing—which is why it's so special that John knows her drink order.' Materialists opens in theaters on June 13. While A24 has not yet confirmed an exact streaming release date, the film is expected to eventually land on HBO Max, as part of A24's ongoing streaming partnership with Warner Bros. Previous A24 titles like Priscilla and Babygirl have followed a similar release pattern. For now, the film is exclusively available in theaters. Buy Tickets

Keira Knightley Reflects on 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Criticisms: 'I Was Seen As A Terrible Actress'
Keira Knightley Reflects on 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Criticisms: 'I Was Seen As A Terrible Actress' originally appeared on Parade. Just as it's impossible to imagine anyone but Johnny Depp playing the swaggering buccaneer captain Jack Sparrow, it's practically unthinkable to picture anyone else portraying Pirates of the Caribbean's Elizabeth Swann save for Keira Knightley. Starring in the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films at a remarkably young age, Knightley served as one of the principal stars in the Disney-produced action fantasy series. Maintaining exceptional chemistry with co-stars Depp and Orlando Bloom, Knightley's role in the franchise launched the actress to new heights in the film industry. Looking back at her time in the series, however, the 40-year-old Oscar-nominated actress tends to view the franchise with a certain degree of bafflement. Speaking with fellow actress Rosamund Pike in a piece for Vanity Fair, Knightley specifically highlighted the criticisms she faced for her role in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, especially when held up to her critically acclaimed role in Pride & Prejudice in 2005. At the time, Knightley had received her first Academy Award nomination for portraying Pride & Prejudice's lovesick protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet. Though critical favor for her role in the Jane Austen adaptation was nothing less than extraordinary, Knightley soon said she faced criticism for her role in the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel. "Yes, it was pretty big for my career," Knightley said of the Oscar nomination. "If people will come up to me, it'll be about that one. Pirates of the Caribbean had already come out, but I think in the public consciousness, I was seen as a terrible actress. But I had this phenomenally big success with Pirates. And I think this was the first one that was a phenomenally big success, but was also critically acclaimed." "So I remember it coming out maybe the same year, maybe around the same time as Pirates 2," the actress continued. "And I got the worst reviews ever for that, and then also being nominated for an Oscar at the same time — it was, in my 21-year-old head, quite confusing." Keira Knightley Reflects on 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Criticisms: 'I Was Seen As A Terrible Actress' first appeared on Parade on Jun 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Danny Boyle made sure '28 Years Later' was worth the wait
For more than two decades, Danny Boyle has been plagued by one question: What would happen after a zombie apocalypse? The famed director's 2002 movie "28 Days Later" broke conventions of the zombie genre and helped launch a digital video moviemaking revolution in the early 2000s. But as years and then decades passed — and Boyle went on to earn a best director Oscar for "Slumdog Millionaire," do a Steve Jobs movie, and make a "Trainspotting" sequel — he could never crack a continuation of his original "28 Days." Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland missed out on the sequel, 2007's "28 Weeks Later," because they had already committed to making the sci-fi thriller "Sunshine." And pitching their own continuation around Hollywood never got any traction. Maybe it would be one of those things that would never come to fruition. It wasn't until the British Film Institute invited him to do a Q&A at a "28 Days Later" 20th anniversary screening in 2022 that Boyle realized just how much audiences appreciated the film. "I showed up and it was a packed theater," Boyle told Business Insider during a recent trip to New York City. "I was shocked. You could feel the audience's energy watching it. I texted Alex after, and I told him there's still an appetite for this. So he then came up with an idea." Garland's idea would become "28 Years Later," which opens in theaters June 20. The film focuses in on a small island community in England that's learned to survive in relative isolation 28 years after the country was ravaged by the Rage Virus. But when Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and his 12-year-old son Spike (Alfie Williams) venture to the mainland, they discover new mutations of the virus and survivors with their own fearsome methods for staying alive. Though the "28 Years Later" cast is entirely new — and there are no glimpses of original "28 Days" star Cillian Murphy, despite the rumors — Boyle is just getting started. He's also a producer on a sequel set for release in January, "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," which was shot by director Nia DaCosta ("Candyman") right after "28 Years" wrapped. And Boyle will return to direct a third movie, which will indeed star "28 Days Later" star Cillian Murphy. That is, if Sony will greenlight it. So how did Boyle crack the code to continuing his zombie franchise? His trick is to think limited, not expansive. Though he has big aspirations for a trilogy, it all came about by keeping "28 Years Later" as grounded as possible. "I love limitations, because I can bash against it and that gives energy and inventiveness," Boyle said with a wide smile. "So the third movie is in many ways an original film." For the latest edition of Business Insider's Director's Chair series, Boyle discusses returning to the zombie genre, how he used Cillian Murphy as leverage to pursue his other creative ideas, and if he'd ever take on another James Bond movie. Business Insider: Take me back to that "28 Days Later" 20th anniversary BFI screening. Where was your head at then about doing a third movie? Danny Boyle: By that point, Alex had developed one script, which we decided not to do: weaponizing the virus, a traditional type of sequel. It was a good script, but we just didn't get any traction. After the BFI screening, he came up with the idea of confining the story to an island, and that was a really good decision. How much of the COVID pandemic influenced how you wanted the characters to navigate the Rage Virus 28 years later? It would be that people would become accustomed. You can take risks and know when the back off them. There's a kid in this movie who has no knowledge of the virus — it has been passed on to him; he's never seen any of it. This is his first trip to the mainland. He's heard stories. You can see that the kids draw pictures of the stories they've been told. They have mythologized the virus. So we talked about all that. And then we delve into the culture before the apocalypse, and it's distorted. How reliable is it? We don't know. But that's an element that goes into the second film, "The Bone Temple." The visuals have always been a hallmark of your filmography, but especially this franchise. "28 Days Later" ushered digital cameras into the mainstream. Now with this movie, you're shooting with iPhones. It's been done a lot on the indie side with filmmakers like Sean Baker and Steven Soderbergh, but I believe this is the first time camera phones have been used at the studio level. Why did you want to do that? I felt an obligation to take the spirit of the first movie, but be aware that the technology has moved on so much. Phones now shoot at 4K, which is what a lot of cameras shoot at anyway. And the advantage of using the phones is we were able to be very lightweight. Also, some of the locations we were shooting hadn't been disturbed for many years. It's an area of England called Northumberland, its sister county is Yorkshire, which is agriculture and manicured. In order to go there with a crew, you have to be light, so having iPhone cameras was good for that. We used a lot of drones, which had different camera lenses; we used a specific Panasonic camera for the night vision footage. But the iPhone gave us a light touch and allowed us to use these rigs, which I'd been trying to use for a while. It's a poor man's bullet time. But you don't have to go to it, you can carry it. So now, instead of laying down dolly track and having all this gear in these very preserved locations, all you need to retrace are footsteps. That's right. How did you sell Sony on all of this? [Laughs.] Um. I can't remember. Come on. I will do and say anything to get the film made. There is a terrible side to directors where you will promise [studios] stuff and you don't mean it. They are nervous. They're a corporation. And you have to massage the vision. So what was the promise you gave that you weren't going to fulfill? Cillian Murphy. What better promise could you make? That's quite a deflection of any technical concerns; they soon forget. Yeah, we nakedly used that to get our own way. But Sony knew what they were inheriting. Did Nia DaCosta shoot "The Bone Temple" right after you wrapped on "28 Years"? Pretty much. She visited the "28 Years" set a couple of times, but yeah, she was prepping her own film, she had her own cinematographer, and though she inherited the sets and some of the characters, she also had her own cast for a substantial part of it. And she gets a bit of Cillian at the end. All I can say is you have to wait for Cillian, but hopefully he will help us get the third film financed. So where are things with the third movie? We still need the money. I mean, we'll see how we do with "28 Years Later." It's so close to release that nobody wants to say anything; they just don't know what it's going to do. And I respect that. It's a lot of money, so we'll see. If there is a third movie, would you want to direct it? Oh, yes. That's the idea. You famously walked off the last James Bond movie. Would you ever give Bond another try now that the regime has changed and Amazon is fully controlling it? That ship has sailed. The thing I regret about that is the script was really good. John Hodge is a wonderful writer, and I don't think they appreciated how good that script was, and because they didn't, we moved on, and that's the way it should be. Whatever happens with Bond going forward now is what it will be. As someone who has done a Beatles movie with "Yesterday," what's your take on Sony's ambitious plan for four Beatles movies? [Sony chairman] Tom Rothman — who I fight with a lot, and who I love very dearly — I do tip my hat to him, because that is backing a visionary filmmaker in Sam Mendes with a hard, big investment. That's a lot of vision to say, here ya go, there's four films. And they are all going to get released around the same time. All in one month! Just from the perspective of a director, would that scare you? Sam clearly has an appetite to handle it all. I don't know what his vision is, but he's got terrific actors. I worked with Harris Dickinson, who is a wonderful actor, so he's got himself a very special cast. 90% of anything is casting; if you get it right, you're almost there. So I admire it. Now, one of the things we found, and they will have this issue, is that people don't know The Beatles' music. We just did a workshop on "Yesterday" and its long-term plans — like, should there be a stage production one day? We did a workshop with a bunch of actors, and lots of them just didn't know the songs. They are in their 20s or 30s, so why would they? They all can recite from memory something from Taylor Swift or Harry Styles, but The Beatles? So, we'll see. This interview has been condensed and edited for length and clarity. "28 Years Later" opens in theaters June 20. Read the original article on Business Insider
