Holiday wardrobe inspiration to take from The White Lotus season three
The TV phenomenon that is The White Lotus is back for season three, this time in Thailand, delivering some much-needed luxury resort escapism (murder and slightly panic-inducing music aside). For those heading away for real, it also provides plenty of packing inspiration. What the costume design team has nailed is that irrepressible excitement that comes with the chance to wear all your holiday clothes.
While we won't get Jennifer Coolidge dripping in Dolce, alas, we can be sure of some fashion moments all the same: JW Anderson beach bags, Rachel Comey sundresses and an Alémais cutaway jumpsuit complete with a starfish charm all feature in the new season.
The resort-wear brand Camilla featured in both seasons one and two; now it has collaborated with the show on a collection inspired by the artwork in the opening credits. 'Fashion and travel are a truly magical combination,' says its Sydney-based designer Camilla Franks.
In the real world, versatility in a holiday wardrobe is key, says Orlebar Brown founder Adam Brown: 'I recommend focusing on pieces that can transition seamlessly from beach to eveningwear. Lightweight linen, a print shirt, a smart pair of sandals.'
Don't get too bogged down in the idea of a minimalist capsule wardrobe though – there's so much fun to be had in holiday dressing, and while staples like plain linen shorts and shirts should always go in the case, Brown is predicting a revival of 1970s themes in 2025: 'Expect to see geometric prints, fun florals and bright colours.'
Dressing for hot, humid weather does require some practical considerations, too. 'It's all about cotton, cotton, cotton, and prints, prints, prints,' says Molly Russell, the founder of Pink City Prints. 'I spend five months a year in India, and dressing for the culture – and the climate – is key. Long skirts are my go-to, as they let me stay cool while respecting local customs.'
It's also an opportunity to inject some creativity, she says: 'Holidays are the ultimate excuse for dopamine dressing – embracing bold colours and having fun. There's nothing quite like the way bright sunlight brings vibrant hues to life. So go bold, go bright, and let your outfit reflect the joyful holiday mood.'

Real Madrid agree deal for River Plate teenager Mastantuono
BUENOS AIRES, June 5 (Reuters) - Real Madrid have agreed to sign River Plate's young forward Franco Mastantuono for an initial fee of about $45 million, a spokesman for the Argentine club told Reuters on Thursday. The 17-year-old Mastantuono made his debut for River in January 2024 and is widely regarded by the local media as the latest prodigy to emerge from Argentine football. A talented left-footed finisher, he established himself as a starter under coach Marcelo Gallardo and soon became a key part of the Buenos Aires-based team. "The sale is settled, in the final talks it remains to agree on some details," a club source told Reuters, who gave no further information about the transfer. Mastantuono had been linked to other big European clubs such as Manchester United and Paris St Germain after attracting attention with a stunning free kick in River Plate's Superclasico win over Boca Juniors in April. River intend to keep the attacking midfielder on loan at the club until December to complete their Copa Libertadores campaign, according to local press reports. Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni recently called up Mastantuono for the first time for matches against Chile and Colombia in the South American qualifiers. He could become the youngest player to make his senior debut for Argentina.

Queen opens new stand named in her honour at ‘beautiful racecourse'
She was at the privately-owned Hexham Racecourse – Northumberland's only track – to open the Queen Camilla Stand. The Queen was shown around the venue, 600ft above the town, which boasts views across the county and an undulating jump track which sits in a natural amphitheatre. Camilla, under a photograph of the late Queen's horse No Trumps, which won a race at the course in 2019, said she hoped to come back with a runner one day. The Queen used a clear umbrella at times as showers passed over (Owen Humphreys/PA) She wore a pale-blue Bruce Oldfield outfit and a horseshoe broach marked Minoru, which was a horse owned by Edward VII. The Queen used a clear umbrella at times as showers passed over. After officially opening the stand, she said: 'How thrilled I am to be here in Hexham. 'I haven't been here, I am ashamed to say, before but it really is the most beautiful racecourse. 'It has the most wonderful views. 'Unfortunately, I didn't bring the weather with me, I can imagine what it is like on a sunny day because it looks pretty good on a day like this. 'Next time, I hope to come back with a runner. Hopefully it emulates No Trumps.' The Queen spoke to racing industry figures including trainer Charlie Brooks, who said afterwards: 'She is very engaged in racing issues and, without putting words in her mouth, is understanding of the challenges – she knows her stuff.' Robert Whitelock, racecourse manager, showed the Queen around the site and said afterwards: 'It is wonderful that she came up here and I think she is delighted about the stand being named in her honour.' Racing has been held in Hexham since 1670 and National Hunt Racing started at the current site in 1890. Camilla also visited Hexham Abbey during her visit to Northumberland (Owen Humphreys/PA) The Queen, like her late mother-in-law before her, is a long-standing supporter of horse racing and has loved horses since she was a girl. She once told ITV Racing: 'I could probably ride before I could walk.' A follower of jump racing from her teenage years, Camilla recognised the odds were against being a winning racehorse owner. Speaking to the channel in 2021, she said: 'I think people go into racing who don't know a lot about it and think 'Oh, we will buy a horse and it will win a race', but it's terribly difficult to win any race anywhere. 'The odds are actually stacked against winning, aren't they?'
