Linda Evangelista and Salma Hayek are blended-family goals
It was a family affair at the recent graduation for Linda Evangelista's son, Augustin James.
The supermodel shared photos of her 18-year-old son's high school graduation, which included photos of his father, billionaire businessman Francois-Henri Pinault and Pinault's wife, actress Salma Hayek.
'Then this happened. 🎓♥️✨🙏🏻 I'm one proud momma,' Evangelista wrote in the caption. 'Blessed blessed blessed…'
Evangelista spoke with Vogue in 2023 about co-parenting with Hayek, who has been married to Pinault for more than 15 years.
'I was sick at Thanksgiving,' Evangelista told the publication. 'And Salma got on the plane with her daughter, came here, and made Thanksgiving dinner.'
The model said her son's stepmother even 'asked what I wanted—it was a very eclectic wish list.'
'I wanted her Mexican chicken with truffled potatoes, and she spent the day in the kitchen and cooked it herself. No help,' Evangelista said. 'The kids helped her at the end. She made a feast—a beautiful, beautiful meal.'
'I had told her that I wasn't going to have Thanksgiving; I wasn't feeling well,' she added. 'And she said, 'Oh yes you are: I am coming.' And poof, she was here.'

Meghan Markle's 'Baby Mama Dance' Video Sparks Debate
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle doing the "baby mama dance" to try to trigger labor while heavily pregnant with Princess Lilibet sparked both praise and criticism on social media. The Duchess of Sussex marked her daughter's fourth birthday by posting a never-before-seen video of herself dancing in a hospital room to "Baby Mama" by Starrkeisha. The clip quickly went viral and was praised by some, while the Daily Mail, for instance, referred to her as the "Queen of Cringe" in a headline on its homepage. Meghan Markle's Delivery Room Twerking Video Meghan Markle posted the footage on Instagram with the message: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" Her Instagram reel was viewed around 21.6 million times in almost 24 hours after it was posted. Meghan Markle twerks while heavily pregnant with Princess Lilibet in a hospital room in 2021 alongside Prince Harry, who also dances. Meghan Markle twerks while heavily pregnant with Princess Lilibet in a hospital room in 2021 alongside Prince Harry, who also dances. Duchess of Sussex/Instagram Harry also wrote about the moment in his book Spare: "We drove calmly, sanely to the hospital, where our bodyguards once again fed us. "This time they brought burgers and fries from In-N-Out. And fajitas from a local Mexican restaurant for Meg. We ate and ate and then did the Baby Mama dance around the hospital room. "Nothing but joy and love in that room. Still, after many hours Meg asked the doctor: 'When?' 'Soon. We're close.'" What Supporters Say Christopher Bouzy, founder of social media analysis company Bot Sentinel, wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Meghan dropped this video, and the haters and conspiracy theorists are spiraling like they just found out their tinfoil hats don't get Wi-Fi. Y'all crashing out over a pregnant woman dancing is why y'all are not serious people." Derek Guy, a prominent menswear journalist, on X: "Every whiny criticism of Meghan Markle has sounded totally idiotic. don't like something, stop watching. good lord." Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, on X: "I totally relate with Meghan here! By 40 weeks of pregnancy I was a menace & wanted the babies out! I did everything possible to 'encourage' them out and I mean EVERYTHING! If I told you all the antics I got up to it would make you blush." What Detractors Say Piers Morgan wrote on X: "We're about 2 months away from the sex tape..." Columnist Amanda Platell wrote in the Daily Mail: "Surely this is one of the most sacred and private times in a couple's relationship? What possibly made them think it a good idea to blaze it across social media? "And having set the pattern, how many more such moments do they have stocked away to release in the days and months to come, in a pathetic, desperate bid for attention? "Well, I'm sorry to break this to you but the video just made this couple who purport to be fiercely private a laughing stock across the world. Again." Journalist and broadcaster Camilla Tominey wrote in The Daily Telegraph: "When I was a week overdue with my second child (ironically named Harry), I did sort of go mad. Not Meghan-twerking-in-a-hospital-room crazy, but bonkers nonetheless." "It was undoubtedly the hardest seven days of all three pregnancies—including having to be induced with my third, another daughter," she continued. "So like many mothers, I watched Meghan and Harry's latest Instagram video with a mixture of genuine empathy and gobsmacked astonishment. "On one hand, I understand the sheer lunacy that can accompany being overdue. On the other, I'm not sure even in my wildest moments I would have chosen to 'twerk' my way through it. "I mean, I'm not sure twerking would even feature on the bingo card of 'things you do while in labour': gas and air? Check. Epidural? Check. Lash out at husband? Check. Perform a sexy slut drop, while lip-syncing, to the camera? Probably not, no." Author Oli London wrote on X: "Meghan Markle branded 'cringe' after sharing bizarre dance video throwback with Prince Harry while 9 months pregnant with Lillibet."

‘Lifestyle Palace' Designer Tara Bernerd On What's Next For Luxury Hotels
Bernerd's designs effortlessly pair comfort and sophistication. You never know where you will find Tara Bernerd. The in-demand designer splits her time among Switzerland, Milan and London (where her studio is based), though she says she's usually in an airport lounge waiting for a flight to her next project. Bernerd's itineraries have included West Palm Beach, where she infused natural colors and materials into Milos, a new outpost of the upscale Greek restaurant chain; Germany, where she gave the baroque Rosewood Munich a contemporary, residential makeover; and Mexico's Riviera Maya, where she transformed Maroma, A Belmond Hotel into a stylish ode to Mexican traditions. Back in Italy, Bernerd ventured beyond hotel and restaurant interiors and into homewares, collaborating with two enduring Italian brands: Frette on a line of graphic, luxurious throws and pillows, and Medea 1905 on a capsule bedroom furniture collection. After speaking at Forbes Travel Guide's recent Monaco Summit, Bernerd sat down with us and shared why hotels are 'lifestyle palaces,' what she's working on next and how if you can't find her, she's likely in this charming Tuscan town. Bernerd helped Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya elevate its look. I've traveled since I was very young. Although I was born and raised in London, most of the time we were traveling somewhere. Part of my culture was being exposed to places in Hong Kong, traveling up the Yangtze River in China, going to New York, spending huge amounts of time in Europe, particularly in Italy and Switzerland. All those things led me to be somebody with an ingrained interest. I saw how places changed. I was very aware of design as a young person, and my fascination grew. I was exposed, because of my father's own work [in property development], to many architects — Norman Foster, who I saw recently, was and is a huge mentor; the late Richard Rogers; and later in life, I became friendly with Zaha Hadid — but as a younger person, I saw these architectural triumphs. And then deep down, I guess I'm an artist. I've always drawn — I still draw. I wake up with an inherent purpose to see color and to be around it. I would say it's a combination of things. Rosewood Munich was given a contemporary makeover. When you travel, you are so exposed to hotels, and one of the things that stuck with me was, in a sense, they were the 'lifestyle palaces' of today. When you look back throughout history, some of the great, especially English, homes or a series like Downton Abbey might touch you — the ceremony, the theater, the way a home wakes up in the morning and in the evening as you draw the curtains. In the old days, you dressed in black tie, and you were served a martini. Well, that's what the hotels are doing. The ceremony, the coming together of creating these places that just sweep you to another place. I think I have always been fascinated by that. And if I could play a part in that, that is what led me through travel, through those experiences and very much since I started this business, really working towards working with hotels and hospitality. Maybe it's my calling. It's the bigger picture. Some of the bigger hotels, in the past there may have been a gym or not. Nowadays it is a simple must. You've got to have an incredible workout facility, some kind of health benefit. And now, increasingly, there's an attachment to the spas, the actual services they offer. We have to be aware of it when we're space planning right at the beginning. Are we putting that in? Where is it going to go? What is our connection to that? I am thinking about [my upcoming hotel in] Mount Fuji, which is all about nature. We can't necessarily take everyone on walks, but that relationship to indoor and outdoor is tremendously important from our side. The vistas and how we feel in a space provoke a feeling of wellness, and then throughout that I think there are many other nuances that can come in, too. Bernerd is playing an important role with the upcoming Six Senses Milan. I think human nature seeks to explore. Human nature, on the whole, has a social kind of interest. Hotels are an incredible answer to allow people to travel, to socialize, and I think for many years we will see that people are drawn to that. The future of hotels is being aware of the human touch. I know we get cleverer and cleverer with AI, but I would never underestimate this as we grow the brands and our brilliance in what can be done quickly and efficiently, especially the very high high-end luxury hotel market that's even above premium luxury. It's the understanding of the guest needs. It is tremendously important there is a human element. Then that also can transcend into our designs so that we do something that is seductive but not overbearing, that has sensitivity in the materials that we choose. So there's texture and tonality. And designing with the locale in mind — the materials, the stones being more indigenous — might allow things to sit and last the test of time. There's a lot to be said for some of the family-owned hotel businesses because they're not building at such a rate. They're constantly revisiting like home in their hotels, checking if that art goes there, maybe adding something from that family's own travels. They're not 'home from home' as such, but it goes back to my lifestyle palaces. We must always consider them really important destinations to take care of and celebrate. A relationship with Frette has blossomed into a creative marriage. We've always designed furniture and built it bespoke with the hotels and some private clients. So, designing furniture was not our first rodeo. And whilst building the Six Senses Milan, I met cousins Luigi and Andrea Tagliabue. They were very drawn to everything that I was designing. We ended up working together again when they were designing my furniture for a private client, and they were like, 'Tara, we want to build collections with you.' I said, 'Well, let's go slowly.' In Italian it's 'piano, piano.' Slowly, slowly, one step at a time. For that first step, we decided to launch with eight pieces of furniture, and we're thrilled. It's been just a total joy designing and creating this collection. Whilst I was doing that, I met Filippo Arnaboldi, the CEO of Frette. I personally shop at Frette. It's the pinnacle of all sheets and toweling. I was talking to him about my furniture collection and one thing led to another and he said, 'Why aren't you doing something with us?' It was Filippo's vision to invite me in, and my first port of call was to say again, 'Let's start slowly and build the collection.' To me, it was an opportunity to celebrate color. The collection is called 'Disrupting Architecture' because I look back at everything I've shared with you about my work, my journey, and took elements from the Chrysler Building, Port Lympne and Eltham Palace [in the U.K.], deco buildings around the world, modernism and messed up all the patterns and played with things, hence disrupting architecture. The graphics that came out felt so right. It was all about working with Frette, their legacy, the craftsmanship, the artisans who are helping produce this. The combination of all our efforts allowed us to bring the most colorful cashmeres and throws celebrating all the movement. There's a lot of energy in it. Frette is not dissimilar to Medea 1905, who, by their very own name, [have] been around 120 years. Again, you dive into working with the greatest craftsmanship and artisans. For me it was perhaps something that was always meant to be, but I've never engaged in a committed and full collaboration to these extents because you have to wait for the right marriage. And my work with Frette certainly feels like a very good marriage, and we're very excited about even the next collections that I'm designing now. Bernerd's styles will soon extend from the bedroom to homewares. We will add to our colorways now of the collection we already have, so that will come out as people get more and more used to modernism and deco. You don't have to buy it as a collection — you can integrate it with Frette's other things or even in your own home. We will launch later this year or early next year an extension of all of that — we will move in out of your bedroom and into your home with homewares. And the same with Medea, we will extend on the eight pieces. The Six Senses Milan, which will open early next year, is the most marvelous project. And I just feel so honored to be working in the heart of Italy, in Milan, the most designed savvy of cities. It's a responsibility and such a privilege, and we have really embraced the local feeling of Brera, which has got a very different vibe than other parts of Milan. It's going to be a wonderful project with a huge emphasis on wellness, some exceptional rooms and suites and a very unusual building because the windows and the views across that area are incredible and unexpected. We are starting on hotel near Mount Fuji. In the U.S., I'm really honored to be working on a project for the St. Regis in Fort Lauderdale, which frankly will be game changing. Later on, we've got Six Senses Lake Como coming and a Paris hotel. And I'm writing my second book. When she isn't working, Bernerd's dreaming about designs in Tuscany. It is about hotels. It's about experiences, living lifestyles and it's everything from what we might see in a beautiful suite that we can bring back into our own homes. It's about exploring new places, experiencing different materials. It is about the world of hotels, and it is about the world. It's traveling with me for a little bit from my eyes. There are many cities I like to visit. I really enjoy going to Stockholm, and if I go, I'll always stay at Ett Hem, which is a wonderful hotel. A friend of mine, Jeanette [Mix], designed that with a marvelous designer. I travel a lot around Italy, so one of my go-tos is a place called Forte dei Marmi [in Tuscany]. When you can't find me anywhere, you might see me there on an orange bicycle.

9 cocktails that will be everywhere this summer, according to bartenders and mixologists
Passion fruit cocktails will have a moment this summer. "Passion fruit is long overdue for a breakout," Lance Bowman, beverage lead at Chicago-based Italian restaurant Ummo, told Business Insider. From margaritas to martinis, there are so many uses for this sweet ingredient. "Passion fruit hits the sweet spot between exotic and approachable. As tropical flavor profiles continue to trend, it's poised to become the go-to summer fruit behind the bar," Bowman said. Clarified cocktails will likely be everywhere. A clarified cocktail is made by combining a mixed beverage with milk, allowing the milk to curdle, and straining out the solids to achieve a transparent appearance. Travis Charitan, a mixologist at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, expects these cocktails to become bar favorites. "Clarified cocktails are perfect for the summer because they're smooth and easy to drink — especially when served over a large ice cube, which keeps it cold without watering it down too quickly," Charitan told BI. Spritzes will continue to be a summertime favorite. The orange crush will likely be popular — but include a twist. The orange crush typically contains fresh orange juice, orange liqueur, lemon-lime soda, and vodka. However, Molly Horn, chief mixologist and spirits educator at Total Wine and More, predicts we'll see the orange crush made with tequila this summer. "The fresh, bright, 'bare essentials' nature of this drink, combined with the clamor around additive-free tequilas that are stripped down to their most authentic characteristics, will make this a natural winner this summer," Horn said. Dirty martinis are here to stay. Although the dirty martini never really left, Bowman said the classic cocktail is always evolving. He expects the drink to make waves this summer with new ways to customize the classic beverage. "Bartenders are exploring new dimensions with herb-infused oils, umami-forward ingredients like MSG or mushrooms, and elevated garnishes like Castelvetrano or grilled Middle Eastern olives," Bowman said. The paper plane is ideal for warm weather. Alyssa Glueck, lead bartender at Wild Common in Charleston, thinks the paper plane — a cocktail made of equal parts bourbon, Aperol, amaro, and lemon juice — will be popular this summer. "The paper plane strikes the perfect balance of bitter, sweet, and citrus — ideal for warm-weather sipping," Glueck said. "It's bold enough to satisfy bourbon lovers but still refreshing and approachable." Experts think the michelada will soar in popularity. Bowman expects the michelada — a classic mix of beer, lime, sauces, and spices — to be popular this summer. There are lots of variations of this spicy Mexican drink, leaving plenty of options for different tastes. "As more drinkers look for lighter, flavorful options, this drink offers both familiarity and room for innovation," Bowman told BI. The pros expect prickly pear mezcal margaritas to be popular. Margaritas come in tons of different flavors, and, according to the pros, we can expect to see more variations this summer. Charitan thinks the prickly pear mezcal margarita will be especially popular, thanks to its vibrant pop of color and subtly sweet flavor. "The prickly pear mezcal margarita blends the earthy smokiness of mezcal with the subtly sweet, melon-like notes of prickly pear, while staying true to the cocktail's roots in the deserts of Mexico and the American Southwest," Charitan said. "The result is a strikingly pink, desert-inspired cocktail that is refreshing and visually captivating." The mojito is another classic cocktail that will have a moment this summer. "The mojito is having a moment, and I would not be surprised to see a lot of bartenders breaking out their muddlers more frequently for this old-school favorite this summer," Horn told BI.
