Sabrina Carpenter Just Approved The Lyma Laser Pro
Known for her serene, glossy beauty looks that make a case for dewy, sheeny skin layered with a wash of something pink, the singer recently posted a rare glimpse of her bedside table. On it, nestled next to a bottle of water, padded eye mask and hair band, the Lyma Laser Pro sits pride of place.

Are we surprised by Carpenter's choice of bedtime essentials? Absolutely not. As a Lyma devotee and long-time user, she called on the tool ahead of the Oscars in 2023, curtesy of legendary celebrity facialist Joanna Czech who is an advocate for the brand's cutting-edge technology, and again during her glam session for the MET Gala earlier this year.
'It's amazing to see Sabrina is a fan of the LYMA Laser PRO,' says Lyma founder Lucy Goff, 'she's proof you're never too young to take skincare seriously. She's a total powerhouse, always pushing boundaries and incorporating our laser technology into her routine, she's glowing every step of the way.'
Developing on the success of its first-generation laser, the Lyma Laser, £1999, comes this well-loved robust device that packs three times the power of the original and a wider treatment window that allows for full body coverage. Using clinical-grade cold laser technology, it promises to tackle sagging skin, pigmentation, irritation, scars and breakouts (to name a few) by transforming the skin from the inside out.
Powered by a 1450mW near-infrared continuous cold laser beam at 808nm, it penetrates an impressive 10cm under the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production, which can be likened to the type we produce during our youth. Instead of damaging the skin to form collagen, as many lasers intentionally do, Lyma's technology creates long-lasting, infrared stimulation to restore biological functions and trigger cell growth and repair. In simple terms, think of it as a pain-free, damage-free, downtime-free laser that reboots cells to remodel and rebuild skin from the base up. It's no wonder Hollywood is hooked. 1.
Lyma Laser Pro
What the brand says: The LYMA Laser PRO takes the unrivalled power of the LYMA Laser and triples it. Revolutionary clinical-grade cold laser technology, engineered to make skin look younger by triggering a genetic switch inside each cell. Skin is dramatically transformed; wrinkles are radically improved; elasticity is restored; sagging is reversed, and pigmentation is faded. Bigger lens. Faster results.
What we know: There is good reason why Lyma boasts a loyal legion of celebrity fans and expert facialists. As one of the most powerful at-home laser devices on the market, it works at a cellular level 10cm below the skin surface to transform skin from the inside out.
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I've been following Lyma since it first launched to market with a revolutionary all-in-one supplement that targets skin, sleep and stress simultaneously. But the brand's laser tech really proves its edge over the industry. There is much to be said for its impressive category defining approach, but for me the Lyma Laser wins by its inclusive nature. Unlike other lasers which aren't suitable for deep skin tones due to concerns over scaring, the Lyma Laser has been optimised for all as it doesn't rely on damaging skin in order to renew it. Very refreshing indeed.' Pros No pain, damage or downtime
Known to be the most powerful at-home laser device Cons

By the 30s, Katharine Hepburn was box office poison. Then she made The Philadelphia Story
These days, Katharine Hepburn is revered as a progressive icon of Hollywood's golden age, an androgynous (and possibly queer) fashion rebel whose four best actress awards have yet to be topped at the Oscars. But back in 1938, only six years into her illustrious career, she was branded as 'box office poison'. She was a star ahead of her time, her domineering screen presence registering as shrill and petulant by the tail end of the 1930s. After the box office disappointments of Bringing up Baby and Holiday – both now canonised romcom classics – she retreated from Hollywood and signed on to a new play penned by her friend Philip Barry: The Philadelphia Story. Like its film adaptation, Barry's script centres on Tracy Lord, a stuck-up socialite (easily read as a stand-in for Hepburn herself) set to marry a wealthy politician, only for the wedding to be upended by the arrival of two competing romantic prospects: her ex-husband, CK Dexter Haven, and tabloid reporter Mike Connor. The production was a runaway success on Broadway, and Hepburn soon took the reins of a film version, for which she brought on her trusted collaborator George Cukor (A Star is Born, My Fair Lady and countless more) as director. Her initial choice of co-leads – Clark Gable (Gone with the Wind) and Spencer Tracy (Guess Who's Coming to Dinner) were vetoed. But it's hard to imagine a more dazzling collision of stars than the eventual casting of Cary Grant (Charade) and James Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life) as Dexter and Mike respectively. Across their four collaborations, which culminated in The Philadelphia Story, Hepburn and Grant would continually redefine one of the finest pairings in romcom history. The former's strong-willed, fast-talking women bulldozed over lesser leading men, but were perfectly parried by the slinky yet similarly imposing Grant. As embittered, sniping exes, they effortlessly locate each other's pressure points – Dexter's alcoholism, Tracy's performance of invulnerability – but they share a private camaraderie. It's James Stewart's Mike, though, who guides the film's sweeping romantic moments (and sets the benchmark for drunk acting). The night before the wedding, he shares a poolside flirtation with the bride-to-be that evolves into an exhilarating declaration of love, powered by Stewart's earnest intensity. 'You're lit from within, Tracy. You've got fires banked down in you, hearth fires and holocausts,' he beseeches. Cukor's rapturous direction presses into both actors until they're framed in glazed, moonlit closeups, Hepburn's eyes and beaded gown twinkling irresistibly. She's every bit the goddess that he sees. But the film doesn't allow her to bask in the image for long. The Philadelphia Story's success hinges on Tracy's humbling. She lowers herself from her own lofty esteem to eventually find love among other mere mortals, catering to the public's desire to see Hepburn taken down a peg. There's maybe some truth to Kazuo Ishiguro's dismissal of the film as 'a really nasty piece of work', especially considering how the screwball comedy traditionally revolved around stories of men being cut down to size. I think the screenplay deserves more credit for its intricacies: at each corner of the love triangle is a deeply fallible character who hides behind various defence mechanisms. Tracy's eventual happiness is entirely her own choice; she only submits to love upon finding the one person who can recognise and accept her faults. In a subgenre defined by its memorable female leads, Tracy Lord offers one of the more nuanced takes on the screwball heroine. She's a spoilt brat, an arrogant intellectual, an impervious fortress – and under Hepburn's command, you can't help but fall in love. The Philadelphia Story is available to stream on HBO Max in Australia and available to rent in the UK and US. For more recommendations of what to stream in Australia, click here

Victoria Beckham seemingly snubs Brooklyn's wife Nicola again amid family feud
VICTORIA Beckham has seemingly snubbed eldest son Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz as the famous family's feud rumbles on. The fashion designer's Instagram behaviour has been put under the spotlight shortly after she appeared to intervene in the high-profile clash to offer an olive branch. 7 7 Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, have reportedly been keeping their distance from his family, after they failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party. Chef and photographer Brooklyn has continued to gush over his actress spouse throughout - despite "cutting off brothers Cruz and Romeo" in the drama - amid fears he's "obsessed" with his marriage. Victoria then confirmed neither Nicola or Brooklyn would feature in her upcoming documentary - in suggestions of another snub. Yet after 'liking' budding photographer and chef's recent Instagram reel, the mum of four, 51, has followed up with approval for more of his snaps. Yet in a cryptic move, while she has hit the heart button on images featuring him, those that also included Lola star Nicola have been left un-liked. Through July, she has liked every one of Brooklyn's posts - but only if they do not feature his actress spouse. Yet this may be because the busy fashion designer had missed a handful of his uploads. Neither Nicola or Brooklyn have returned the favour and approved her uploads. Nicola was previously accused of "controlling" husband Brooklyn - who frequently gushes over his spouse on social media. Meanwhile, Victoria and Nicola reportedly fell out in the run-up to Nicola's marriage to Brooklyn in 2022 in a row over Posh not designing the wedding dress. Brooklyn Beckham unfollows his brothers just hours after reaching out to sister Harper on her birthday The daughter of US billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz ended up walking down the aisle at her family's mansion in Miami in a gown by Italian fashion legend Valentino. SHOW SNUB? Fans recently suspected A Mind Of It's Own singer had dealt another snub to the pair after it was confirmed they would be a no show for her new series. Spice Girl singer Victoria's long-awaited Netflix programme is due for release in October. The Beckham Family Feud April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz. Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham -designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress. Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events. Alleged Wedding "Hijack": In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying. March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade. April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show. May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola. Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn. Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair." June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny. Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn. July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift. Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn. It is understood she will not touch on the simmering feud with her eldest and his spouse - although she has promised there will be 'tears' in the four-parter. The Sun can also confirm how Nicola and Brooklyn will not be in Victoria's upcoming show - but that is because no scenes were filmed with them. A source added to us: 'The children hardly feature — it's simply not a case of Brooklyn and Nicola being cut, as they weren't in it to start with. "This is very much a project focussing on Victoria's transaction from pop star to businesswoman and designer." The Sun has learned that Victoria comes across 'brilliantly' - continuing from her scene-stealing one-liners in David's own four-parter. OLIVE BRANCH The Sun was first to report how pop legend Elton John said his piece to his godson Brooklyn on the family difficulties during a swanky lunch. The legendary singer, 78, has publicly praised Brooklyn and Nicola on social media while the feud has been making headlines, and he has even hung out with them in Cannes. We revealed Elton 'briefly' touched on the family feud before sticking to more neutral territory. 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland,' said a source. 'He's utterly neutral in this row. 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. 'He just wants everyone to be happy. There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. "He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short — and to patch things up." Victoria then appeared to intervene after the Rocket Man vocalist's involvement. She liked Brooklyn's latest Instagram reel showing him rustling up pasta in the kitchen, suggesting tensions could be thawing. 7 7
