Controversial influencer who was slammed for over the top entrance at Australian Fashion Week turns heads yet again while flaunting trim pins in lilac gown at Les Miserables premiere
Controversial influencer Jamie Azzopardi has once again become the talk of the town.
Azzopardi, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, arrived at the Les Miserables premiere in Sydney on Thursday night in a stunning gown.
The social media sensation flaunted their trim pins in a lilac dress with a daring thigh high split.
The one shoulder gown featured a high collar and a one draped sleeve for maximum drama.
It flowed down Jamie's figure and and flared out, the satin fabric catching the light.
Jamie added to the look with a pair of white patent heels but otherwise skipped the accessories.

It comes after Azzopardi arrived at Australian Fashion Week last year in an elaborate Edwardian-style outfit - before hitting back at their critics.
Azzopardi made an outrageous arrival at Carriageworks in Sydney flanked by an entourage of minders, to which Married At First Sight star Carolina Santos couldn't resist commenting on social media.
'What the f*** is that? Does Jamie think [they] are at the Met Gala or something? Why are people holding [their] clothes?'
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia at the event, Jamie clapped back at Carolina's comment.
'Carolina, I do have a question because you have a lot to say about me: I just want to know, what do you know about the Met Gala?'
Jamie turned plenty of heads with their outfit, which consisted of a baby blue ruffled coat with a deep, plunging neckline.
The stylist paired the statement garment with a long black skirt and towering high heels.
It comes as eyewitnesses described Azzopardi's arrival at Fashion Week as nothing short of a performance.
Dressed in a detailed gown which featured layers of fine fabric and intricate embellishments, the stylist made sure all eyes were on them.
Azzopardi's 'minders' were seen constantly adjusting every detail of their attire, ensuring that not a single fold was out of place as photographers snapped away.
Australian Fashion Week has gone from one of the country's most prestigious events to one flanked by reality stars, wannabes and micro-influencers.
Industry insiders have told Daily Mail Australia last year that designers are taking caution and want nothing to do with 'fame hungry MAFS stars desperate to be seen at fashion week'.

EastEnders star slams soap and says show was 'far from a highlight' of career
Jamie Foreman, who starred in EastEnders as Derek Branning from 2011 - 2012, has spoken out about his time on the soap, saying it 'wasn't the highlight of his career' Former EastEnders star Jamie Foreman, who played Derek Branning in the BBC soap has criticised his time on the show. The star, who played the role of a Branning brother from November 2011 until December 2012 has said the role was "far from a career highlight". Despite only being on the soap for a year, Derek Branning had a number of memorable storylines, including his affair with Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), who was married to Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) at the time. In 2012, Derek starred as a main part of the Christmas Day episode, in which he had a heart attack and died. However, despite the huge storylines, actor Jamie Foreman has revealed his time on the soap wasn't a "highlight" in his career at all. Speaking on the Lewis Nicholls Show, Jamie said: 'I'm going to be a little bit controversial here. I don't see EastEnders as anywhere near the highlight of my career. It was another job. "And I know how iconic it is for people out there, and I respect it and what it represents, especially for the BBC. But for me… they'd asked me so many times before.' Jamie then revealed he was out filming in Germany when he got the phone call offering him the role - "again." He was then told he'd be "joining the best family," and could join for however long he wanted. "I said, 'I only want to do it for a year,'" he said. Explaining his reasoning behind his short stint, Jamie revealed he didn't want to get burn out, or become "trapped" when he had other work behind him. However, Jamie went on to reveal that the soap "made promises they never kept". Jamie claims he was told he wouldn't have to work on Saturdays - although he later claimed: "I did every Saturday. I was the first in, last out every day.' Speaking on the long hours, Jamie revealed he once filmed "36 scenes in a day," claiming working on a soap "burnt him out." Despite this, Jamie said he was thankful for the experience, although it was "far from a highlight of his career." Since departing Walford, Jamie has Double Decker Driving School, Birds of a Feather and Porters, to name a few.

How To Contour Your Nose According To A Professional Make-Up Artist
Like most millennials, the first evidence of nose contouring I saw came courtesy of Kim Kardashian and her make-up artist Scott Barnes in 2015. The grainy image uploaded to Instagram caught the SKKN By Kim founder mid-glam with a paint-by-numbers-style arrangement of contour streaks all over her face, which, even before being blended out, proved how effective light and shadow trickery could be when creating a sculpted look. Kardashian and Barnes weren't inventing the wheel here, this artful face contouring hack is steeped in history - it was once most closely associated with stage performers. Ballet make-up in particular has long drawn on the art of contouring to emphasise character traits in productions. Nonetheless, a decade ago that candid snap spread like wildfire, igniting a whole new generation of beauty buffs intent on snatching everything from their cheekbones to their décolletages, legs and noses. Nose contouring especially is enjoying a revival at the moment, with 34.2K TikTok tutorials dedicated to mastering the art. The latest viral nose contouring video to blow up our feeds is all about lifting - so can you really paint on a nose job in seconds? With a cool 5.4 million views and counting, the video sees beauty content creator @velabeauty draw up what she calls a 'lifted nose contour'. Inspired by TikToker @kittyprincessgat, using the E.l.f Cosmetics Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand, £9, the lifted look begins with two dots of contour at the base of the nose near the nostrils, followed by a horizontal line over the tip of the nose and two lines painted down the bridge, before everything is carefully and thoroughly blended out with fingertips. The results are impressive and @kittyprincessgat even questions, 'is this nose catfishing?' From lines to dots, circles and crosses, in the last few years we've seen a real evolution of nose contouring hacks crafted to alter the look of our noses with a few quick swipes. Some rather niche methods - presumably produced to pick up views on TikTok - have promoted using tweezers, bobby pins and forks to take the guesswork out of product placement. As someone who contours her nose every day, I can attest to its transformative powers. Before getting a liquid nose job, I looked to contouring to help me define and lift my nose shape. Even thought I unapologetically adore my post-filler nose, I still never consider my make-up routine complete without a little Kim-Kardashian-style contouring. 'Nose contouring is all about defining the nose,' says make-up artist and Grazia Beauty Panel member, Lan Nguyen-Grealis. 'You can create the illusion of more symmetry (if that's your MO) with make-up. It's standard practice with a lot of my clients and it's a long-practiced way of balancing features where there's the desire to do so.' When picking the right products to contour with, Nguyen-Grealis advises sticking to cream sticks and powder that are 'no more than two shades darker than your skin tone and they should have taupe undertones rather than orange'. As for highlighting, again use a cream stick or powder that is one to two shades lighter than your skin tone. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, trying the nose contouring hack It's easy to get this hack wrong because the placement is pretty precise. To avoid mistakes, Nguyen-Grealis recommends being light-handed when it comes to application. 'Using a small brush to apply will help give a more natural and accurate finish as you'll end up with less product build-up and it affords greater precision. Sometimes applying the contour direct to skin delivers a look that's too harsh and obvious, because the resultant streak is more difficult to blend out, especially if you're a beginner.' Nguyen-Grealis warns against using shimmery products, 'they reflect too much light to look like a natural contour,' she adds. Now for the fun part, Nguyen-Grealis explains her three steps to the perfect nose contour: Base: Start off with your usual base and ensure everything is blended in well. Contour: Using your contour stick or with a straight edge or angled brush, draw two straight lines down the sides of the nose. Start from the inner corner or your eyes following the side of the natural bone structure. Add some shadow under the tip of your nose to lift it and blend. Highlight: Using a concealer or highlighter apply straight down your nose bone in the centre and dot it at the highest point of the tip of your nose. Then evenly blend with a small fluffy brush or beauty blender sponge. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, trying the nose contouring hack 1. Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand What the brand says: This creamy liquid formula that is both buildable and blendable, and provides a natural-looking sculpted finish. What we know: Viral and frequently duped for good reason, the wand is enriched with treated pigments that lend a natural, uniform contour, and siloxanes that give the product its light and breathable consistency. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I havent been able to part with this since I was first introduced to it last year. Having always favoured cream compacts, this wand offers a featherweight yet seriously pigmented formula that is easy to apply just about everywhere thanks to its sponge applicator. Importantly, the shades on offer are rich and cool, so I was easily able to find my match with Tan, which offers up a medium-deep hue that chisels while lending my skin some glow.' Pros Easy to use wand appliator Shades are cool not orange Cons 2. Victoria Beckham Beauty Contour Stylus What the brand says: 'A slim, targeted sculpting stick that takes the guesswork out of contouring, for smooth, controlled application.' What we know: Victoria Beckham certainly knows how to set a trend and her beauty brand's take on contouring has just done that. Pulling away from chunky contour sticks that don't allow much room for precision, this Contour Stylus fashions as the antidote with a blendable, nifty stick that allows you to get really precise. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'As a nose contouring obsessive, this product has been a real game-changer. I can forgo brushes and beauty blenders completely and rely on this stick and my finger tips alone. I especially love being able to create precise lines around the tip of my nose for a more believable, lifted look.' Pros Small and precise Super blendable Cons Won't cover larger areas easily 3. E.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand What the brand says: This contour wand features a cushion-tip applicator that helps to create a natural-looking sculpted and radiant complexion.

Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'With an easy-to-use applicator, blendable glow-giving formula and accessible price point, it is hard not to love this product.

Jamie Oliver tearful as dyslexic teen tells him 'I don't see any hope'
The campaigning chef is calling for a huge overhaul of the school system so that dyslexic and neurodivergent kids can thrive alongside their classmates Jamie Oliver is winning the first stage of his latest Channel 4 campaign after getting Bridget Phillipson onside in his battle to overhaul the education system for dyslexic kids. The education minister has pledged her support for Jamie's mission to revolutionise the school experience for those with special educational needs. The chef, who previously tackled school dinners and sugary drinks, is calling on the government to bring in early screening, within the first two years of primary school, and for teachers to receive proper training on dyslexia - currently just half a day is given over to the subject during a three-year teacher training course. Dad-of-five Jamie said he was inspired to bring about change because of his own painful experience at school. 'It wasn't great,' he sighed. 'Everything to do with learning and getting it down on paper was terrible, I hated words. I had nothing to offer. That feeling of sadness, of feeling thick, stupid, worthless and dumb. READ MORE: Vernon Kay and Paddy McGuinness join Celebrity Gogglebox for first time - and promise 'no filter' 'School was just tough because I didn't get it. But seeing other kids and parents going through that pain in 2025, it does make you quite angry.' The film, Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution, uses statistics showing that one in ten kids is dyslexic - meaning there are three in the average classroom - but for every 10 dyslexic children, only two will be diagnosed. These children are 3.5 times more likely to be expelled, and those who lose their place at school are 200 times more likely to get involved in violent crime. This could explain why 50% the UK's prison inmates show signs of dyslexia. 'I am starting to see the patterns of getting into trouble and ending up in prison are all massively amplified by dyslexia and neurodiversity…and I don't think it is because this is destiny for them, I think it's a reaction to a feeling that they never fit it,' he said at a launch event in London. 'Dyslexia is bigger than letters jumping around and a few kids struggling to read. It's about getting tens of thousands of kids a year to thrive, and not just survive, in school. An education system that only works for some kids, and not everyone, is broken.' Jamie said he believes the current education minister is the right person to bring about the changes so many kids and families are desperate for. Having met with mum-of-two Bridget at her parliamentary office, he says: 'I like her. She's doing things that others haven't done for a long time. Out of the 17 or 18 [education ministers] that I've seen over the last 20 years, she sticks out as being one worth putting a bet on.' Since filming ended, Bridget has agreed that 1 in 4 kids being left out of education is a sign the system needs an overhaul and has committed to improving teacher training around neurodiversity for all new teachers from this September. The education minister said: 'I am determined to reform the system for children with SEND so that all children can achieve what they're capable of.' All new teachers will be fully trained when it comes to SEND neurodiversity and existing teachers will also be 'upskilled' as part of reforms she will set out later this year. 'What a lot of our teachers tell me is that they don't feel they've got the support that they need to really provide a brilliant education to children with a much bigger range of needs than might have been the case when they did their initial training,' she said. The film also hears from 15-year-old Amira, who felt 'isolated' at school, where she failed to get a formal diagnosis and now expects to fail her GCSEs. 'It feels like I have no opportunities. I don't see any hope,' she tells Jamie, who says she's being badly let down. - Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution, Channel 4, 8pm, Monday
