Lindsay Lohan's sweet nod to original Freaky Friday detail
Showing now | Culture 00:32 Lindsay Lohan has harkened back to the original Freaky Friday movie in a clever red carpet fashion detail. The actress attended the London premiere of the upcoming film Freakier Friday on Thursday (31 July), where she stunned in a custom lavender metal mesh dress by Ludovic de Saint Sernin. The dress resembled a purple lace-trimmed two piece by cult 1990s fashion label Mandalay, which Lohan wore in the final scene of the 2003 film as her character performed at the wedding of her mother, played by Jamie Lee Curtis. The 39-year-old actress accessorised the look with a miniature guitar purse, a nod to the guitar her character Anna frequently plays throughout the body-swap movie. 03:47 04:43 04:42 06:32 12:25 17:05 03:25 07:30 14:11 12:18 30:24 16:08 17:41 18:22 13:43 12:41 05:35 08:02 06:42 05:23 07:08 05:03 09:53 07:25 07:40 08:56 13:49 10:57 07:53 19:31 04:07 11:19 07:30 07:54 05:23 05:35 09:47 06:28 06:23 07:35 08:03 11:54 08:21 06:38 07:25 04:31 07:30 03:34 17:05 03:51 04:18 06:26 04:30 03:35 03:45 07:34 02:03 03:22 02:15 02:22 02:21 01:43 01:42 01:45 10:44 03:44 07:42 09:22 06:11 07:50 06:21 02:19 10:42 06:27 07:23 06:35 More Behind The Headlines 12:18 11:50 09:03 13:07 00:59 00:24 00:43 00:34 01:27 01:35 00:30 00:29 00:50 00:30 00:08 02:21 00:33 00:20 00:41 01:24 00:49 00:33 01:00 00:31 00:54 01:08 01:35 00:47 01:04 00:51 00:13 01:07 00:46 01:04 00:59 01:04 03:29 03:07 03:07 03:24 01:36 00:42 01:26 00:32 00:31 02:00 00:40 00:58 04:23 04:26 01:01 01:07 15:55 16:33 16:06 15:01 15:16 01:16 00:36 00:48 01:08 More Saudi Green Initiative 01:12 01:23 01:24 Live

Shock as Love Island couple expected to make final are DUMPED by axed stars – and miss out on £50k
A LOVE Island couple have been axed by ex-Islanders after footage left them questioning the integrity of their connection. The ex-Islanders have spoken and ousted a couple from Love Island in a dramatic fire pit moment. 5 5 5 5 The cast returned to the villa for the always-shocking Islander Jury on Friday and sent this pair packing. In scenes that will air on Sunday night, former cast made their epic returns to make the huge decision. Former Islanders including Harry Cooksley's ex Emma Munro, Billykiss Azeez, and smitten couple Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood, voted for the couple they wanted to boot. While The Sun can't reveal their identities at this crucial stage of the ITV2 dating show, we can share that Islanders made their decisions having watched back footage and been shocked by what they saw. A source said: 'This couple have been a big part of this series so this is a shocking moment. 'But having watched it back, ex- Islanders have become privy to action they weren't fully aware of and it left them more than questioning the integrity of this connection. 'The couple were sent packing on Friday afternoon and the scenes will air on Sunday.' It comes after Conor and Megan were dumped from the villa following a public vote on Friday night. Receiving the fewest votes from viewers, Conor and Megan were announced to be leaving before they packed their cases and departed the villa. Megan had only recently returned to the villa as a bombshell after previously having a connection with Conor the first time around, earlier on in the series. Love Island stars in shock as OG couple are brutally dumped just DAYS before the final Fans were fuming that the pair had the least votes and were in turn branded the least compatible couple on the show. Many thought another couple should have been voted as the least compatible, with several taking to social media to air their thoughts. One person said on X: "MEGAN AND CONNOR. "THIS IS RIGGED. LOVE ISLAND 2025 - ALL the dumped stars so far LOVE Island 2025 is in its penultimate week. Here are all the dumped Islanders so far ... Sophie Lee Blu Chegini (has since returned) Malisha Jordan Will Means Shea Mannings Poppy Harrison Caprice Alexandra Megan Clarke (has since returned) Remell Mullins Ryan Bannister Alima Gagigo Martin Enitan Chris Middleton Yas Broom Rheo Parnel Giorgio Russo Emily Moran Andrada Pop Ben Holbrough Tommy Bradley Lucy Quinn Lauren Wood Harrison Solomon (quit) Emma Munro Boris Vidovic Billykiss Azeez "WHO VOTED FOR DEJON AND MEG?! OWN UP NOW. NOW." Another added: "Gutted to seeing the both of them being dumped from the villa. "So happy for the both of them being together. And it should have been Meg & Dejon." Conor and Megan's dumping came just mere hours after Helena and Blu were dumped from the Islander. With the final now in touching distance, the couples that remain are Meg and Dejon; Shakira and Harry; Toni and Cach; Yasmin and Jamie; and Angel and Ty. But who will win the coveted £50,000 and title of winning couple? And which couple won't make the final after being voted out by their former co-stars? 5

Venues in Merton, Croydon and Wandsworth host pop-up opera shows
Live opera performances are popping up across south London in a bid to bring the art form to people who may not get to experience it otherwise. From cafés to libraries, unexpected venues across Merton, Croydon and Wandsworth are being transformed into intimate opera stages throughout July and August by Baseless Fabric Theatre."It's been wonderful seeing the reaction of people who didn't know they were going to be experiencing a bit of opera," said Joanna Turner, director of the Wimbledon-based troupe's modern reimagining of The Elixir of Love."There were kids with their mouths wide open, not believing the sounds coming out of our performers' mouths." 'You can't do a dress rehearsal' "It's not what you expect when you're coming in for a glass of rosé," said Cat Wellington, who ended up with a front row seat to an unexpected opera performance at The Charles Holden pub in Colliers Wood while catching up with a friend. "It was mental; brilliant, but mental," she told the Local Democracy Reporting performers, all trained opera singers and musicians, want to break down barriers and bring opera to new audiences, especially children and families enjoying the summer Turner, who reworked the opera for a modern audience, said shock and surprise were key to street opera. "You can't do a dress rehearsal for street opera. It all depends on what can happen on the day."It's like a flashdance, but for opera."The group's first performance in Colliers Wood began inside a supermarket before moving on to a pub and finishing in the foyer of Colliers Wood Library. Patrick and Jessica Murphy said they had seen Baseless Fabric's previous performances across London, but had no idea they would be seeing another one with their young child."It's just such a nice thing to have in our town," said Mrs Fabric's performances are "for people who might not otherwise get to experience them, or who simply need a little moment of awe in their day".The troupe will perform street opera until 10 August.
