Roksanda's wet look hair is trending at London Fashion Week
Roksanda's sculptural, undone wet look stole the show at London Fashion Week.
While tight, slick back buns were big in 2024, this year seems to prioritise a more pared-back approach, with loose pony tails and pushed back hair gracing the fashion week runways.
'The inspiration for this look was a British sculptor called Phyllida Barlow,' explains Authentic Beauty Concept stylist Anna Cofone, who designed the hair style.
'This semi-looped ponytail was intended to mimic this idea of a sculpture.'
'There's this dual texture approach to the hair. We've go this gelled, pushed back shape using the Cosmic Blowdry Jelly and then a more broken up texture using the Glow Spray Serum to really saturate the hair.'
Wet look hair has long been leading the curve, with gels, creams and leave-in hair masks becoming commonplace in daily hair routines.
Another aspect Cofone prioritised was less heat, another trending attribute in current haircare, using simply only a hairdryer to set the gel before the models took to the runway.
Part of this trending look was actually down to last-minute changes, with Anna Cofone noting, ' Roksanda had these big shapes around the neck, meaning where we originally had most of the girls in the looped ponytail, they realised that wouldn't work. So we changed that and brought it into a really beautiful low ponytail.'
While looking undoubtedly cool in its own right, the hair of course paired perfectly with Roksanda's sophisticated and sculptural silhouettes.
This pushed back, dual-texture look is set to be the more cool and casual evolution of 2024's slicked high pony.

Australian astounded after visiting UK as he says Brits are 'built differently'
An Australian who visited the UK said Brits are "built differently", and there's a key reason why. He was left astounded after stopping by as he ventured on a trip to Venice An Australian who visited the UK was left astounded when he touched down in the airport. Liam Dowling was left totally floored by one thing when he landed on British soil, and claimed there's a specific reason why Brits are "built differently" to other people around the world. Liam's video has gone viral after he shared it on TikTok and his explanation left people in total hysterics. In the clip, he admitted he was travelling to Venice, but stopped at an airport in the UK on his travels and, when he called by the Wetherspoons, he couldn't get over one thing. In the video, he said: "I'm here at the Spoons airport, on my way to Venice. It's 5am - there's not a single person in here not drinking. It's 5am. "I feel like in Aus, we kind of wait until like 7am/8am - you get some looks if you're drinking in the airport at 5am. No one here gives a f***. "I reckon you could come here at 4am, and it would not matter. Like, Britian just - they don't care. Maybe it's the Europe/Aus thing, but everyone here is boozing and I love it. Bit too early for me though, so, I'm just going to stick to my coffee." The video has been viewed over 100,000 times since it's been shared, and people have been left gobsmacked by it. Natually, some Brits just couldn't stop laughing. One said: "God forbid a nation has hobbies." Another wrote: "Time doesn't exist in the airport or on Christmas Day." A third replied: "I'm Polish (we're infamous for drinking a lot) and I have been living in the UK for 10 years, but even I can't hack how they do it. Brunch time, 11ish, I can get, but 5am is crazy business." Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: "Got to a NY airport at 6am. Asked for a Bacardi and they said no alcohol til midday. I was gobsmacked." One more also quipped: "Spoons in Birmingham airport was absolutely rammed at 2am when I last went." People had all sorts of stories about drinking at airports, but many seemed to agree on one idea - time doesn't exist when you're about to hop on a plane. Many Brits couldn't help but laugh in the comments, with a cheeky pre-flight tipple appearing to be the norm for many - no matter what time it may be. Thoughts and theories were super varied, but many Brits couldn't help but make jokes about it. The video really did make many people chuckle. Another wrote: "If you think about it, 5am is just really late at night. 7am would be more unacceptable, as I consider that morning. Regardless of time though, if I'm at an airport, then I'm at Spoons drinking." One more added: "Every time I fly from Manchester Airport, I choose as early as I can 4am/5am, grab a burger and sit in the bar with a few pints and watch the planes until my gate opens. Like my father, and my father's father." Meanwhile, someone else chimed in with: "Time does not exist in airports. Except the time you've got to catch your flight - that one's important."

Harry Potter star sparks social media outrage with JK Rowling remark
British star Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film franchise, was asked his opinion on JK Rowling and her contentious online anti trans views Actor Tom Felton provoked social media commotion after weighing in on JK Rowling 's political views. The Harry Potter author's regular transphobic rants on X have split fans of the film franchise and enraged the LGBTQ+ community. Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have both distanced themselves from JK following her numerous outbursts, but not everyone has turned their back. The underfire writer, birth name Joanne Rowling, implied last year that she will "never forgive" the film's stars for speaking out in support of trans people. But now 37-year-old Brit Tom, who played Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter, has broken ranks to refused to criticise the woman who launched his career. When asked if asked if the controversy around the author's views on gender identity affected him, the star replied: "I'm not really that attuned to it, I have not seen anything bring the world together more than Potter - she's responsible for that, so I'm incredibly grateful," when asked his views by Variety at the Tony Awards. 'The only thing I always remind myself is that I've been lucky enough to travel the world, here I am in New York. I have not seen anything bring the world together more than Potter." His comments sparked a mixed response online. One person reposted the publications interview, writing: "This is what privilege looks like, and we shouldn't ignore how much harm looking the other way because things don't affect us directly does. don't be Tom Felton." Another said: "I mean, you should distance yourself from Rowling. Her Harry Potter profits go to anti-transgender organizations." A third made clear their views, writing: "What would a privileged straight white cis-male know about the oppression faced by my trans colleagues?" Others had a different take. "Thank goodness someone in that franchise learned not to bite the hand that feeds him," someone wrote in support of the writer, while another took to X to say: "Who would have thought Draco would be the most level-headed." Back in 2020, when JK first went public with her gender critical views, both Daniel and Emma issued statements of support for the trans community and have reiterated their positions several times since. "Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo [Rowling] or I," Daniel wrote in response to Rowling's tweet in June 2020. Actors who have starred in JK Rowling adaptations have signed an open letter standing "in solidarity" with members of the LGBT+ community "impacted" by the recent Supreme Court ruling on gender. Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne, who led the Fantastic Beasts films, and Katie Leung, who played Cho Chang in the Harry Potter film series, are among the stars who have signed the open letter addressed to film and TV industry bodies, encouraging them to support the trans community. Ghosts actress Charlotte Ritchie, who appeared as a student in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, and Breeders star Daisy Haggard, who voiced the Ministry Of Magic lift in the Harry Potter films, also signed the letter. Another signatory was Bridgerton actress Bessie Carter, the daughter of Dame Imelda Staunton, who played Dolores Umbridge in the popular films about witchcraft and wizardry.

LBC spark fury with pro-Israel report on seizure of Madleen Gaza ship
Overnight, Israel captured the Madleen ship, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which had been headed to Gaza to deliver a 'symbolic' amount of aid. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, French MEP Rima Hassan, and journalist Omar Faiad were among the 12 people on board, who were all detained by Israel, reportedly in international waters. The ship was flying the UK red ensign, meaning it was under the UK Government's jurisdiction, and Labour are facing calls to act. READ MORE: UK Government sends spy plane over Gaza as Freedom Flotilla ship threatened by Israel Israel's government labelled the aid mission a 'selfie yacht' in a bid to undermine the activists and journalists, who had been aiming to highlight or even break the blockade Israel has imposed on Gaza, sparking fears of famine in the region. Israel Katz, the country's defence minister, said that the detained activists would be made to watch a film about the October 7 attacks after arriving in Ashdod, a port city some 17 miles north of Gaza. Reporting on the developing situation, LBC published a story which began: 'Israeli forces have put an end to Greta Thunberg's 'Freedom Flotilla' stunt.' On social media, the story was shared with the caption: 'Greta Thunberg's 'selfie yacht' stunt brought to an end as boat is intercepted – and Israel will force those on board to watch harrowing video of October 7.' The framing has been widely criticised, including by human rights lawyers and activists. This is the reprehensible level the British media has stooped to. An act of piracy and kidnapping described as this. Beyond parody. This is where we are. — liam cunningham (@liamcunningham1) June 9, 2025 Irish actor Liam Cunningham, known for appearing in Game of Thrones, shared the LBC and wrote: 'This is the reprehensible level the British media has stooped to. An act of piracy and kidnapping described as this. 'Beyond parody. This is where we are.' Shoaib M Khan, a lawyer who chairs the Human Rights Lawyers Association, said: 'Not that LBC has much credibility left now, but what a disgusting way of describing a genocidal regime forcibly taking over a British-flagged vessel and kidnapping the people trying to deliver aid.' Zara Mohammed, the former general secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: 'Cannot believe the framing of this from LBC, only when you click the article do you read these are the IDF lines…' READ MORE: 'They have sandwiches': Outrage as Israel releases footage of Flotilla hostages Author and journalist Ash Sarkar added: 'This kind of editorial framing is the lowest of the low. 'It is fundamentally misleading ('selfie yacht'), takes the position of the Israeli government as fact, and has virtually 0 informational content. 'Embarrassing from LBC.' LBC has been approached for comment. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which had organised the voyage, said the activists were 'kidnapped by Israeli forces' while trying to deliver desperately needed aid to the territory. SOS! the volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Greta Thunberg is a Swedish citizen. Pressure their foreign ministries and help us keep them safe! Web: X : @SweMFA FB : @SweMFA IG : swedishmfa#AllEyesOnMadeleen — Freedom Flotilla Coalition (@GazaFFlotilla) June 9, 2025 'The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo — including baby formula, food and medical supplies —confiscated,' it said in a statement. Israel is illegally occupying Gaza and prevents any international media from entering the Palestinian region. Since the Hamas attacks of October 7, Israel has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which has said women and children make up most of the dead. Israel has also destroyed vast areas of Gaza and displaced around 90% of the territory's population, leaving people there almost completely dependent on international aid. It has announced plans to take control of the Palestinian land, which would represent further breaches of international law. Who is on board the Madleen? There are twelve civilian crew members on board the ship, which is flying the UK flag. The crew members are:
