Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson first crossed paths in 2021 at an Aston Martin racing event. Soon after that, the couple started dating before Westwick proposed to her during a ski trip in 2024. Later in the same year, the couple got married in a civil ceremony in London followed by a lavish wedding at the Italian Riviera. The couple welcomed their first son, Oscar Alexander, in March this year.
Westwick and Jackson were spotted sharing a kiss and cosying up at the charity event at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, which was attended by various A-list celebrities, including Heidi Klum, Leomie Anderson, Ciara, Adam Lambert, Paris Jackson, and others. The prestigious amfAR, or The Foundation for AIDS Research, is one of the biggest nonprofit organisations that supports AIDS research, HIV prevention, educating society, and advocacy. The amfAR foundation was started in 1985, and since then it has collected more than $920 million and raised $2.5 million during last year's gala alone. The first gala of the organisation was held in 1993 at Cannes and was hosted by Elizabeth Taylor.

The Bag That Started It All: Jane Birkin's Original Hermès Bag Up For Auction Soon
Last Updated: The original Hermes Birkin bag made for Jane Birkin will be auctioned at Sotheby's Paris Fashion Icons sale on July 10. Struggling to get your hands on a Birkin bag despite having the means to afford one? The original Hermes Birkin bag, famously crafted for singer and actress Jane Birkin herself, is about to go under the hammer in an upcoming Sotheby's auction. This iconic piece will be featured in Sotheby's Paris Fashion Icons sale, scheduled for July 10. Renowned worldwide for its exclusivity and unmatched desirability, the Birkin bag is a symbol of ultimate luxury. Even those with ample resources often find it difficult to acquire one due to its rarity. Now, the very first Birkin bag ever created is being offered to the public – a true treasure for fashion enthusiasts. Let's take a closer look at this historic handbag. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sotheby's (@sothebys) The original design is a saddle-style, all-black leather bag adorned with elegant gold hardware. It represents a timeless emblem of luxury that has shaped the fashion world for over four decades. The creation of this legendary bag came about following a serendipitous meeting on a flight between Jane Birkin and then Hermes CEO Jean-Louis Dumas. In 1994, Jane Birkin decided to sell her personal Birkin bag to raise funds for an AIDS charity. As reported by Business of Fashion, 'It was auctioned again in 2000, and has since belonged to the collector who goes by the name 'Catherine B' on Instagram. Her account biography on the platform says she's the 'proud owner of the first Hermes Birkin bag.'" As reported by Times Now, Morgane Halimi, Sotheby's Global Head of Handbags and Fashion, emphasised the significance of this piece, stating, 'There is no doubt that the original Birkin bag is a true one-of-a-kind piece, a singular piece of fashion history that has grown into a pop culture phenomenon that signals luxury in the most refined way possible." Sotheby's assures that the bag will be presented in the exact condition it was in when used by Jane Birkin. In a notable development, Jane Birkin requested that Hermes remove her name from the crocodile-skin versions of the Birkin bag. While the Birkin bag itself stands as a symbol of wealth and is adored by celebrities worldwide, the crocodile leather variants have drawn criticism from animal rights advocates. As The Guardian reported, Jane expressed her concerns: 'Having been alerted to the cruel practices reserved for crocodiles during their slaughter to make Hermes handbags carrying my name … I have asked Hermes to debaptise the Birkin Croco until better practices in line with international norms can be put in place." This rare auction represents not only an opportunity to own a piece of fashion history but also highlights Jane Birkin's ongoing commitment to ethical concerns within the luxury industry.

Vishal Pandey On Being Trolled For Cannes 2025 Debut Look: ‘Bura Laga'
Last Updated: Vishal Pandey recently addressed the trolling following his Cannes debut, clarifying that his presence at the festival was for a film project, not just for fashion. Vishal Pandey, the Indian actor and social media sensation, made a stunning debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival with his international film Far Away From Home. While many celebrated his achievement, others criticised his debut, labelling it a mere red carpet appearance. Recently, Vishal swiftly responded to the backlash, highlighting his passion for storytelling. He emphasised that his presence at Cannes was about more than just fashion. In a candid conversation with Telly Talk, Vishal Pandey shared his thoughts on the online criticism, saying, 'Pareshaan nahi, grateful hu joh bhi opportunities aaye. Vahan pe log mujhe itna appreciate kar rahe the. Mujhe laga jab main apne desh aaunga, aur zyada hoga lekin mere desh mein mixed opinions mile. (I am not worried, I am grateful for whatever opportunities came my way. People there were appreciating me so much. I felt that when I came to my country, there would be more, but I got mixed opinions in my country)." He added, 'Tab bura laga ki main apne country ko represent kar raha tha vahan pe. Aisa nahi hai ki main apna fashion show karne gaya tha. Cannes Film Festival is about films, not fashion. (Then I felt bad that I was representing my country there, it's not like I had gone to show my fashion. Cannes Film Festival is about films, not fashion)." Vishal Pandey further clarified that he had the opportunity to attend the event last year as well, but he chose not to go without a project to showcase. Meanwhile, the actor revealed his outfit for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. He explained that it was a tribute to French fashion, but in a desi way. Sharing pictures from his Cannes debut, Vishal wrote, 'Debuts are so special and here I'm having 2 debuts! Debut on the Cannes red carpet with my debut international film, Far Away From Home. Eternally grateful! Thanks, Zeeshan Azam Ali, for making my vision come to life and Naomi Chowdary for the effort! Love you guys."
