Drew Barrymore flaunts natural beauty in black swimsuit during luxurious yacht getaway
On Sunday, Barrymore, 50, was photographed on a yacht wearing a simple black one-piece during her France getaway.
The talk show host spent the day jumping off the side of the boat and relaxing with family members, including her children.
During "The Drew Barrymore Show" in April, the actress responded to a fan who asked for her "secret to aging gracefully and being so comfortable in your own skin."
Barrymore responded, "I haven't done anything, and I want to try and stay that way."
She expressed that she's not knocking anyone for getting procedures done and promoted that people should "do whatever works for you."
"The only thing I do know is: Don't judge other people because they do things differently. We're all on our own path, and we have to support each other," Barrymore noted.
Drew explained that as she has gotten older, she has become more self-conscious about certain parts of her body, including her "turkey neck."
"I see a lot of turkey neck, or I have a lot of other times where I'm like, 'Oh, wow! Wow, we're there now,'" she said.
Barrymore didn't have an answer for the fan who asked her, but she did give the woman some advice on how to approach aging.
"I want to tell myself not to be so mean to myself. How many beautiful moments do we even get the privilege of seeing our reflection and that person looking back at us is us?
"So the kinder, more patient, more resilient, more loving, embracing, less dismissive that we can be, the better it is for our mental game and spiritual game, which affects the face," Barrymore said.
The "Charlie's Angels" star continued, "A smile is better than any lipstick you'll buy, and internal dialog that isn't so eviscerating of ourselves and so quick to catch a flaw — who says that's the flaw? By the way, that might be someone else's favorite thing about you... how ironic. It isn't how you look. It's how you feel."

A Brand-new Ship Just Launched in Southern Europe With Some of the Best Dining at Sea
The newly launched ship is the second in Oceania's Allura ship class, which notably offers more space, more amenities, and, according to frequent cruisers, some of the best dining at sea. ship class, which notably offers more space, more amenities, and, according to frequent cruisers, some of the best dining at sea. The ship has six different room categories, which range from Veranda Stateroom to Owner's Suite. Fantastic restaurants (all of which are included in the price of the sailing) include Jacques, a stunning bistro with an open kitchen and a menu of elevated Parisian classics, and Red Ginger, with a pan-Asian menu. Oceania has heavily invested in making more excursions in more ports available to guests. On my weeklong trip, there were 51 choices available in the four intermediate ports we visited. One of the world's smallest countries, San Marino has to be among the most picturesque places in all of Europe. Its tiny capital city, also called San Marino, sits at the top of Mount Titano, with impressive views of Italy's Apennines to the west. Its Medieval fortifications look like something out of Game of Thrones —or, given their crenulated towers, 'Rapunzel.' The narrow lanes of the city are filled with souvenir shops and cafes, not to mention an outsize number of museums. The National Postal Museum, for example, was surprisingly fascinating, full of commemorative Olympics-themed stamps, distinctive San Marino euro coins, and an exhibit on Abraham Lincoln, who was granted Sammarinse citizenship in 1861. The San Marino National Gallery had an intriguing array of contemporary art, including a riveting installation by the Italian artist Enzo Mari. The State Museum was filled with historical artifacts, both from San Marino and, in the case of some Egyptian antiquities, far far away. Interesting as they were—who knows anything about San Marino, really—I was more charmed by the back-in-time feel of the pedestrian streets and the climb to the famous 'Three Towers' of the city. The pulse-quickening hike up to Guita, the first of the city's towers, afforded stunning views of the Italian countryside which completely surrounds the microstate of San Marino. As I stood at the top of Guaita, a towering fort that dates to the 11th century, I could just make out the bell tower of Rimini in the distance. Beyond the coastal city was the Adriatic Sea—which is how I came to San Marino, though few would consider the city-state a convenient place to reach by ship. But, for Oceania Cruises, taking guests off the beaten path is a key part of delivering a great vacation. 'We go to probably twice as many unique ports of call and have twice as many itineraries as our competitors,' says Nathan Hickman, the line's SVP of global marketing. 'That's just our philosophical approach.' Oceania Allura off the coast of Montenegro. Paul Brady/Travel + Leisure I met with Hickman aboard Allura , the newest ship in the Oceania fleet, and a sibling to Vista , which launched recently to rave reviews. I hopped aboard in Trieste, Italy, for a week-long sailing to Athens that would give me just enough time to get to know the line's style of service—and to explore all the bells and whistles on the new, 610-cabin ship, which accommodates 1,200 passengers. I came away impressed. Oceania doesn't consider itself a luxury line; "my fear personally is that when you say 'luxury,' does that repel some people?' Hickman explains. Nevertheless, Allura has many of the trappings of high-end cruise vessels, including a half-dozen specialty dining venues, an expansive pool deck, and plenty of live entertainment. This is the second vessel in Oceania's Allura ship class, which notably offers more space, more amenities, and a leveled-up pool-and-sports complex in contrast to the line's older ships. 'The way we describe 'luxury' is authentic to us,' Hickman says. 'Where we're coming to it is, 'the luxury of choice.' We have the most included dining options of any cruise line. You can be in a standard room or you can be in a 2,000-square-foot Owner's Suite. You can take a seven-day cruise or 180-day cruise. It's all about choice.' I certainly felt that, particularly when it came to the excellent restaurants on board, including Jacques, a French bistro that feels straight out of the 8th arrondissement. More than anything, though, I just love being at sea, with an ever-changing palette of blues out every window and access to some of the most in-demand destinations such as Dubrovnik, Croatia, without the hassle of waiting in lines or figuring out ticketing arrangements. (Oceania's contracted tour guides took care of all that for guests on pre-arranged shore excursions.) Like all good cruises, my July sailing aboard Allura managed to feel comfortable and familiar—while taking me to places I never would have experienced otherwise. San Marino: who knew? Read on for more details about Oceania Allura , including specifics about its staterooms, restaurants, amenities, and wellness facilities. Allura has a wide selection of rooms and suites, with entry-level accommodations that are still comfortable while being affordable and high-end spaces that come with top-notch services not offered to every cabin type. In all, the ship has six different room categories, which range from Veranda Stateroom to Owner's Suite. Upgrading to a Concierge Level room affords guests additional amenities, not least of which is access to a private lounge, staffed by can-do personnel, who can assist with on-ship and off-ship requests, whether a dinner arrangement or details on, say, hiking routes around Montenegro's Bay of Kotor. My cabin, 8129, was a Concierge Level Veranda Stateroom, which offered 291 square feet of room, including an oversize balcony outfitted with two chairs, a table, and a chaise lounge. Inside, there was enough space to lounge comfortably, with a sitting area and writing desk, plus an excellent bed with a Matermoll mattress fitted with crisp new, 1,000-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. (Oceania sells its so-called Tranquility beds, with mattresses starting at $3,625.) The spacious bathroom had storage galore—including a clever set of drawers and cabinets in one corner—plus a rainfall showerhead and the line's custom Aquamar bath products, which have a subtle vetiver scent. All in all, I found the room functional and well proportioned, if a bit understated in terms of the grey and pale aqua color palette. Food is a point of pride for Oceania, which for many years partnered with Jacques Pepin as a culinary ambassador. Today, chefs Eric Barale and Alex Quaretti carry on the tradition, overseeing a lineup of specialty restaurants that are, among guests, regarded as some of the best at sea. I was certainly wowed by Jacques, a stunning bistro with an open kitchen and a menu of elevated Parisian classics like lobster Thermidor, French onion soup, and veal medallions in a morel mushroom sauce. Red Ginger, a pan-Asian concept, is probably the toughest reservation on the ship, and I unfortunately wasn't able to get a table during my six-night cruise. Other passengers were raving, as my T+L colleague did when she tried the restaurant on Vista, the sibling ship of Allura, in 2023 . Other specialty dining options include Toscana, with a large menu of Italian favorites, and Polo Grill, a chophouse with an elegant vibe. The Grand Dining Room has classic Continental dishes, many of which were excellent—a delightful contrast to the sometimes-disappointing 'main dining' cuisine found on other cruise lines. I was somewhat underwhelmed with the buffet, which is less of an occasion given that the ship offers so many other choices, except for one evening, when the crew went all out for an Italian theme night, complete with fresh pasta made to order, a caprese salad station, and an over-the-top display of antipasti. Aquamar Kitchen, with its smoothies, fresh juices, and health-conscious bowls and veggie-forward sandwiches was a welcome alternative to more formal (and decadent) dining around the ship. Similarly, Baristas, with its light bites and excellent coffee, was a terrific hangout both early in the morning and mid-afternoon. A nearby Crêperie is new for Oceania, doing trendy bubble waffles and classic crêpes. I didn't have time for Waves Grill, which does burgers and the like, near the pool—but it was often full of happy guests. Rijeka, Croatia, seen during a shore excursion. Paul Brady/Travel + Leisure While Oceania puts an emphasis on its cuisine, the brand has also heavily invested in making more excursions in more ports available to guests. (T+L reported on Oceania's 'vast catalogue of outings' in 2022, when contributor Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon sampled many of the line's 'Go Local' tours in Greece.) On my weeklong trip, there were 51 choices available in the four intermediate ports we visited, with options that included introductory walking tours, active adventures like sea kayaking, and wine- and food-focused options that would ferry guests to languid lunches in the Croatian countryside. 'Our guests don't want to be passive participants in their vacation,' says Hickman, the Oceania executive. Besides my day spent in San Marino, which was a highlight, there were several other worthwhile tours on my sailing. In Dubrovnik alone, there were 21 choices, including a Game of Thrones –themed tour and a sea-kayaking expedition that took me (and around 20 other participants) around the city walls to the remarkable Betina Cave. In Rijeka, Croatia, a number of guests took a trip to Hum, which bills itself as the smallest town in the world, a bitsy agglomeration of medieval walls and, frankly, not much else. I stayed in the city proper and found myself pleasantly surprised by a well-done walking tour that seamlessly connected Roman history, the region's 20th-century struggles, and information about contemporary life in what is now Croatia's third-largest city. Oceania Allura will sail in southern Europe, on the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas, in the summer, and winter in the Caribbean with a home port of Miami. This year, when the ship crosses the Atlantic, it will spend some time cruising in Canada and New England before heading south. An herbal ball massage in the Aquamar Spa. Allura is big enough that it offers plenty to do on board, including lots of sports, fitness classes, stage shows, live music, dancing, and other cruise-ship pursuits like trivia, needlepoint meetups, and art classes. Sorry, but if you're bored, you're not trying hard enough. The pool deck has plenty of daybeds in addition to chaise lounges, with a main swimming pool and two whirlpools, plus a bar and grill. Also on the open decks are several well-done sports facilities, including the nicest minigolf course I've ever seen on a ship, a pickleball court, Baggo sets, shuffleboard, and table tennis; there's a running track, too. The fitness center, which is full of the latest Technogym machines and plenty of free weights, was often very busy but not so much so that you couldn't work in. In the evening, guests bop between the several bars on board, which play host to various musicians, who do classical, piano-bar standards, and revues of pop hits. The casino, with its table games, roulette, and slots was bustling most nights. A compact spa had plenty of treatments—massages, facials, wraps—as well as steam and sauna facilities. Guests can also access the quiet Aquamar Spa Terrace at the bow of the ship, with two whirlpools and a plunge pool. One other notable amenity were several guest launderettes, scattered around the ship, with free washing machines, dryers, and ironing equipment. They were among the most well-appointed I've ever seen on a ship and proved popular among passengers. Oceania doesn't have anything in the way of kid-specific entertainment, but I noticed and spoke with several families with younger children on my sailing, including one couple who told me they were relieved their kids weren't the only ones on board. There were also lots of families traveling with adult children or in groups of three generations; another couple I spoke with told me the ship was ideal for their multigenerational gathering of more than a dozen. The official policy of Oceania is that the company does 'not provide services for the care, entertainment, or supervision of children,' which makes the line better suited to more mature and independent kids. (The one exception is Oceania's Alaska Explorer Youth Program, for kids aged 5 to 12, which is exclusive to itineraries in that state; there are currently no plans for Allura to operate in Alaska.) Allura is accessible to those with mobility challenges, a spokesperson for the brand tells T+L. 'Aboard all Oceania ships, amenities are accessible by elevators; no guests should encounter stairs as a barrier to experience Oceania's on-board amenities. Staff is trained to accommodate additional needs on an individualized basis to ensure all guests are comfortable and safe. Allura has ADA-accessible staterooms/suites in the following categories: French Veranda, Veranda, Concierge, and Penthouse. Additionally, all destinations have ADA-accessible shore excursions.'

Why Minimalist Fragrances Are The New Luxury
Stemed Rainbow DS & Durga As the fragrance wardrobe trend continues, we are seeing a rise in minimalist luxury perfumes, which are characterized by clean, fresh fragrances that focus on simplicity and purity. According to Statista, the global fragrance market is projected to generate a revenue of US$62.11 billion in 2025, with an expected annual growth rate of 3.31% (CAGR 2025-2030). Worldwide, fragrances are gaining popularity as consumers seek to express their individuality and enhance their personal style. Minimalist Fragrances Aitana López de Carrión, global fine fragrance development manager at CPL Aromas, tells me that they are seeing a growing appreciation for minimalist fragrances designed to sit close to the skin—intimate, whisper-soft compositions that enhance a natural scent, rather than overpowering perfumes. Aitana tells me that soft musks, sheer florals, and molecular notes create a second-skin effect, and resonate with the 'quiet luxury' movement. But, interestingly, she explains that today's customers don't feel they have to choose between fragrance extremes. This reflects a shift in personal expression, where fragrance can be subtle or dramatic, depending on the mood or moment. Les Eaux Promordiales Favorites in this category include Couleur Primaire from the independent French fine perfumery Les Eaux Primordiales, a fresh and uplifting genderless scent inspired by the founder's childhood memory of spending peaceful Sundays doing laundry with his mother; D. S. & DURGA's Steamed Rainbow, a delicate, humid, earthy and clean fragrance featuring violet, almond flower and mandarin; and BDK Parfums' 312 Saint-Honoré, a delicate and timeless soft floral scent with sweet notes of jasmine and musk that evokes Parisian elegance. Other more sensual expressions include Need U by the Italian brand Laboratorio Olfattivo, a scent with citrus notes of Lemon and the Pink Pepper; The Nue Co Water Therapy, a relaxing fragrance with marine scent notes, inspired by the concept of 'blue therapy'; and Astrum Nova from Electimuss London, a light citrus fragrance with a hint of classic vanilla. Saint-Honore, BDK Astrum Nova, a Minimalist fragrance from Electimuss Wardrobe Fragrances It seems that many of us are moving away from overpowering 'beast mode' scents in favor of these quieter, softer fragrances that are delicate and intimate. Speaking to Natalie Guselli, head of beauty at Liberty in London, she confirms that at Liberty, they have witnessed a shift. They now see more customers approach fragrance in the same way as they would curate their wardrobe—building a collection that reflects different moods, moments, and aspects of their lifestyle. 'Just as you wouldn't wear the same outfit every day, people are becoming more intentional about matching their scent to how they want to feel,' she says. The rise of the 'fragrance wardrobe' is about versatility and personal storytelling. She explains that minimalist fragrances represent a quieter, more considered kind of luxury. They're often skin-like, designed to sit closely and enhance rather than overpower. 'In a world that's increasingly loud and fast-paced, there's something incredibly elegant about restraint,' she says. Need U A Parallel With The '90s According to Aitana López de Carrión, this duality isn't new: it echoes something that took place in the fragrance world during the 1990s. 'The rise of 1990s transparent, airy, fresh fragrances like CK One, L'Eau d'Issey, and Bulgari Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert reflected a minimalist, unisex, and clean aesthetic,' she says. She also tells me that, as is the case right now, the stronger scents and the gourmand revolution were both simultaneously underway at that time, with the launch of perfumes such as Angel by Thierry Mugler in 1992, which introduced almost edible, ultra-indulgent notes, and paved the way for a wave of rich, sweet compositions. Natalie Guselli shares with me that vanilla, in particular, is having a real moment, and that they're expecting The Vanilla Factory by Bibi to be a bestseller. 'It reimagines a familiar ingredient in a completely unexpected, elevated way,' she says. Maria Mukaranda, beauty editor at Cosmetify, confirms this revival, telling me over email that the 1990s comeback is characterized by fragrances such as Diesel Plus Plus (first launched in 1997), which has been flying off the shelves. Mukaranda describes how many iconic 1990s looks, from low-rise jeans to thin eyebrows, have seen a massive resurgence lately, and how now classic 90s fragrances also seem to be making a comeback. 'The 90s are shaping so much of what we see today. Fashion, makeup, skincare—it was only a matter of time before fragrances from this era came back too,' she says. 'They embody the carefree, slightly rebellious essence of that time period.' Mukaranda also attributes part of the comeback to a shift in attitudes. She describes a move away from the influencer-driven, overly polished aesthetic, noting that people want to embrace styles that are fun and experimental again. She explains that the perfumes from the 1990s are perfect for this. Water Therapy, The Bue Co. In addition to fragrance trends, eco-friendly ingredients and packaging are becoming increasingly important to consumers. Maria Mukaranda notes that this trend is extending into the perfume industry, accompanied by an increase in refillable products and the use of sustainable materials. Body And Face Sprays Sol De Janeiro Due to their delicate nature, body and face sprays naturally lend themselves to this minimal fragrance trend. Sol De Janeiro's Cheirosa Perfume Mists are light, intimate fragrances that are both quiet and fresh; in particular, Number 63 in the range, which is an ideal scent for the summer season. Fragranced facial mists are also an interesting alternative to understated perfumes, as their compositions are delicate and nourishing to the skin and deliver a hint of scent. Jurlique's Rosewater Balancing Mist is a hydrating product crafted from rose petals that retains its unique, delicate aroma. Jurlique Intense Rose Balancing Mist Solid Perfume Solid perfumes are also on the rise, offering another way to create a subtle, personal statement, their minimal packaging being another consideration for many. Lush offers a range of fragrances formulated with an organic jojoba oil base and an essential oil fragrance. Examples include Pansy, a delicate floral scent with herbaceous notes. Pansy, a solid fragrance that hints at a floral scene. This trend is also evident in the rise in luxury solid deodorants, which are also being used as perfume. Natalie Guselli confirms that she's also seeing this tendency extend in that direction, with challenger brands such as Rollr and To My Ships leading the way. These brands are applying a minimalist fragrance philosophy to everyday essentials, using clean ingredients and refined scent profiles that wouldn't feel out of place in a luxury fragrance line-up. Fragrances like Wild's Fresh Cotton & Sea Salt, which uses premium natural ingredients, and Parudeesa's Indo-Persian-inspired range. The latter offers alternative luxurious scents, such as Ap water, which combines salt, pine and amber. WIld Natalie concludes by telling me that minimalist scents typically feature fewer ingredients, but these are always of higher quality and used with precision and intention. Clarity—both in formulation and in the emotion they evoke—is what makes them feel so modern. Luxury solid deodorant from Parudeesa

IndiGo Adds More Flights to Amsterdam, Manchester. Coming Soon: London and Copenhagen
While it may be a bit early to call IndiGo a global player, it's no longer just India's largest domestic airline. It's steadily working to be something more.

Starting September 20, IndiGo will fly 6 times per week between Mumbai and Amsterdam and further increase it to daily service from October 13. The Mumbai-Manchester route will also go to four weekly flights. As it leans further into its long-haul ambitions, IndiGo also expects to launch flights to London and Copenhagen 'in the coming months,' CEO Pieter Elbers said during the earnings call on Wednesday. To support its long-haul strategy, IndiGo confirmed it has converted 30 purchase rights into firm orders for the Airbus A350. These aircraft, known for their long range, will start arriving in 2027. Deliveries for the new order will continue from 2032 onwards. Until then, IndiGo is relying on leased aircraft to test the waters and maintain presence in the international market. IndiGo has st
