The 11 Splashiest Releases Coming to the 2025 Venice Film Festival
The 2003 South Korean sci-fi comedy Save the Green Planet! is reimagined in characteristically batshit fashion by the idiosyncratic Yorgos Lanthimos in this chilling and absurdist farce. It marks the director's fifth collaboration with double Oscar winner Emma Stone, after The Favourite, Bleat, Poor Things, and Kinds of Kindness, and reunites him with the latter's lead, Jesse Plemons, too, in a story about two conspiracy theorists who kidnap a high-powered CEO, convinced that she's an alien hellbent on destroying the earth. The Smashing Machine The Safdie brothers are, for the moment, going their own way: After making Good Time and Uncut Gems as a duo, Josh Safdie is now focused on the Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow ping pong movie Marty Supreme, while Benny Safdie is turning his attention to this rip-roaring portrait of MMA fighter Mark Kerr (a prosthetics-swathed Dwayne Johnson). Beside him, through the triumphant victories, crushing losses, and struggles with substance abuse, is his devoted wife, played by Emily Blunt—a Jungle Cruise reunion I never saw coming. A House of Dynamite Kathryn Bigelow, the Oscar-winning auteur behind The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty, and Detroit, returns with a prescient examination of our contemporary geopolitical hellscape: When a missile is launched at the US, the race is on to determine who is responsible and how the White House should respond. In charge? The likes of Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, Anthony Ramos, Jonah Hauer-King, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Kaitlyn Dever, as they confront a potential nuclear catastrophe and the precarious world we've created with our dependence on atomic weapons. The Wizard of the Kremlin Another politically charged polemic, Olivier Assayas's account of Putin's rise to power, adapted from Giuliano da Empoli's recent novel of the same name, sees none other than Jude Law transform into the deathly pale, dark-suited KGB officer-turned-president. Paul Dano is his (partly fictional) spin doctor, pulling the strings at the heart of the Russian government, while Alicia Vikander, Zach Galifianakis, Tom Sturridge, and Jeffrey Wright complete the impressive ensemble. As the boundaries blur between truth and lies, news and propaganda, nationalism and imperialism, we're given an unnerving insight into Russia's turbulent recent past, as well as its incredibly troubled present.

Charli XCX's Post-Wedding Style Is Less Bridal, More Glastonbury
Following her City Hall wedding last weekend, Charli XCX is already back to work. While the singer has a bigger bash scheduled, don't expect her to exhaust bridal whites. Just days after her wedding, Charli traded her Vivienne Westwood minidress for an outfit that could have just as well belonged at Glastonbury. And, in many ways, she took some cues from last month's headlining performance look. For her Day Four set, Charli hit the stage in three multicolored Alexander McQueen skull scarves, rejiggered to make a crop top, which she paired with black leather microshorts, a pair of maroon knee-high boots, and wraparound shades. Joseph Okpako Click News and Media / BACKGRIDUSA Earlier this week, Charli followed a similar outfit formula. She eschewed the scarf top for a black one-shoulder top and draped herself in an ecru pashmina, but stayed loyal to the microshorts in a gray-brown pair with similarly miniature pockets. She also hung onto her knee-high boots, donning a pair of black motos, and wore her large black shades. A noted fan of Anthony Vaccarello, she carried a quilted black Saint Laurent bag. While her style may be leaning more Glasto, Charli XCX still has time to make bridal style bratty before her trip down the aisle.

Christina Aguilera Puts a Gothic Spin on Her Early 2000s Hair and Makeup Combo at ‘Burlesque: The Musical' Photo Call
Christina Aguilera evolved her early 2000s beauty combo into an otherworldy aesthetic for the 'Burlesque: The Musical' photo call in London on Monday night. Instead of the bold, fiery red lipstick she once routinely partnered with her bleach blond hair, the 'Lady Marmalade' vocalist opted for a darker, more sinister lip shade and a stark hair color. Outside the Savoy Theatre, Aguilera's moody makeup consisted of dark brown brows undercut by white-gold shimmer on her lids, lash clusters on the outer corners of her eyes, highlight layered over a purple-toned blush on her cheekbones and a deep wine-colored lipstick that blended seamlessly with her black lip liner. There was a thin stripe of charcoal shimmer under her waterline, bringing out her cool-toned contour on the sides of her face.

In certain lights, however, it appeared as if the coloring was tinged with white; her dark roots casting a shadow around her head. Her long tresses were flat-ironed and smoothed down, brushing over the front of her shoulders. Partnered with her murky green ribbon corset gown and black over-the-knee baggy boots, her entire aesthetic settled somewhere between the Evil Witch in 'Snow White' and a rebellious, medieval princess, both a far cry from the soft, old Hollywood-esque glam she donned over the weekend at the 'Burlesque: The Musical' show. Typically, Aguilera will collaborate with makeup artist Etienne Ortega — who also works with Lana Del Rey, Kris Jenner, Mariah Carey and Demi Lovato — and hair architect Igor Rosales; however, it's not confirmed whether either worked with her on this look. Even at the very beginning of her career, with the launch of her debut album in 1999, Aguilera was always a fan of a heavy eye look and prominent lip shade. The cover of her eponymous record saw her pose with ultra-thin brows — a resurging beauty trend now — and black shadow dragged over her lids and under her eyes. Moving into the 2010s, the 'Beautiful' singer centered her persona around her love for red lipstick. Occasionally, she would wear a pale nude color, but it was a rare sighting when she wasn't sporting a vibrant shade. In the years since, she's noticeably leaned into natural makeup trends, wiping away her matte lip for a glossy pink one instead. Aguilera starred in the film version of 'Burlesque' alongside Cher in 2010.
