5 Pixie Cuts That Will Inspire You To Go Shorter
Prepare for the pixie wave. Search for ' pixie haircuts ' spiked after the Golden Globes where Emma Stone debuted a new 'defined' pixie, and since then, short haircuts have been a hot request in salons: 'I think pixie cuts will become more popular in 2025,' predicts Anilsa Sanchez, a hairstylist and educator at Bumble and bumble's in NYC. 'I see it as a natural progression from all the bobs we've been seeing.' Whether you want to inch your bob to its next evolution or chop your long hair short in one fell swoop, scroll ahead to collect all the inspiration you need in time for your next haircut. Defined Pixie View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mara Roszak (@mararoszak) 'Sculpted, defined and timeless,' is how hairstylist Mara Roszak describes the pixie cut she gave Stone for her role in the upcoming film Bugonia. Andrean Noir, a hairstylist at Bumble and bumble, calls this 'the truest shape of a pixie, similar to Mia Farrow's now-iconic haircut from 1968. 'That cut powerfully influenced the industry,' Noir says. (Case in point: Actress Brie Larson also recently chopped her hair into a 'defined pixie' inspired by Mia Farrow in preparation for her role as Elektra.) Rounded Pixie View this post on Instagram A post shared by Style by Peter - Peter Corvington (@petercorvington) For many, a rounded pixie — with lots of length at the top and sides — is a good gateway short haircut. 'I've noticed more and more of these in the salon recently,' says Noir. It's a great option for anyone who wants a soft, rounded look versus a square shape which sometimes happens if the sides are cut short and flat. 'For those who feel like square is too aggressive, rounded is the way to go,' adds Noir. 'The grow-out is easy, and maintenance for this style is low.' Take inspiration from this cut by hairstylist Peter Corvington. Blunt Pixie View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jess Gonzalez (@jesstheebesttcolor) The blunt pixie cut frames the face with a more dramatic shape. With a heavy fringe, Sanchez recommends styling this cut with a hairdryer and hairspray to keep it soft but in place: 'Blow-dry flat with a flat brush and then shellac it with Bb. Strong Finish Firm Hold Hairspray, $61.' Choppy Pixie View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kiitan Akinniranye (@kiitana) With a choppy pixie, the fringe and the side pieces are cut to create angles at the forehead, around the ears, and even at the nape of the neck like this cut on Kiitan Akinniranye. Sanchez calls this style a 'punk-inspired pixie cut' and a 'striking choice that will emphasise your style and creativity.' Textured Pixie View this post on Instagram A post shared by Isabella Sementilli // los angeles hairstylist (@isabellahair) Like the rounded pixie, the textured pixie includes lots of shape and movement around the face, like this cut by hairstylist Isabella Sementilli. The difference is that the textured pixie is cut shorter on the sides with added layers at the top to create extra volume. To style a textured pixie, a great tip is to spray a thickening spray like John Frieda Volume PROfiller+ Thickening Spray, $20.99, into damp hair and let it air-dry. Beyond being a beautiful, timeless cut, you can simply wash your hair and leave the house.

Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone's "Bugonia" Gets New Release Date
Yara Sameh Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and Oscar winner Emma Stone's project 'Bugonia" will premiere ahead of schedule. The film will open in select theaters on October 24 before expanding nationwide on October 31. That's slightly earlier than the original release date of November 7. Focus Features is rolling out 'Bugonia' in the U.S. and Canada while Universal Pictures, the specialty studio's parent company, will handle international distribution. 'Bugonia,' a remake of the South Korean sci-fi comedy 'Save the Green Planet,' revolves around two conspiracy-obsessed friends who kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major corporation because they are convinced she's an alien intent on destroying Earth. Jesse Plemons, who worked with Stone and Lanthimos on 'Kinds of Kindness,' also leads the cast alongside Alicia Silverstone, Aidan Delbis, and Stavros Halkias. Lanthimos is directing from a script by Will Tracy, whose credits include 'The Menu' and 'Succession.' Stone and Lanthimos were producers — via their respective companies Fruit Tree and Pith — in their latest team-up following 'Poor Things,' 'The Favourite' and 'Kinds of Kindness.' Producers also include Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe of Element Pictures, Ari Aster and Lars Knusden of Square Peg, and Miky Lee and Jerry Kyoungboum Ko of CJ ENM. Focus Features won a bidding war for 'Bugonia,' a departure for Lanthimos after Searchlight distributed his prior three films, 2018's 'The Favourite,' 2023's 'Poor Things' and 2024's 'Kinds of Kindness.'

Morning Mail: Trump threatens more China tariffs, Dutton's ‘isolationist' student plan, Fowler fires up Matildas
Good morning. As Donald Trump's tariffs announcement continues to reverberate around the world, causing stock markets to tumble, the US president is showing no sign of cooling the trade war. Instead he has threatened an additional 50% excise on imports from China after the country imposed retaliatory 34% tariffs. Trump also met with the visiting Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who came to talk tariffs but also discussed Iran's nuclear program.

‘Incompatible with the symbolism': Yorgos Lanthimos denied permission to shoot new film at the Acropolis
Greece's leading contemporary director has had a request to shoot footage for his new film at the Acropolis in Athens denied by his country's culture ministry. Yorgos Lanthimos had filed a request to film scenes for sci-fi comedy Bugonia at the fifth-century BC site in April. But in a statement on Thursday, the culture ministry said permission had been refused because 'the proposed scenes are incompatible with the symbolism … and the values the Acropolis represents'. Bugonia is Lanthimos's latest collaboration with Emma Stone, who won the best actress Oscar for her role in his 2023 comedy Poor Things. In their new film, whose scheduled November release date suggests a major awards push, Stone stars as the CEO of a major pharmaceutical company kidnapped by a conspiracist bee-keeper, played by her Kinds of Kindness co-star Jesse Plemons. The scenes in question depicted 70 dead bodies placed between two of the Greek citadel's key sites: the Propylaea, its complex of Doric entrance buildings, and the Parthenon, the temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. Lanthimos's request appears to have initially been welcomed by the ministry of culture, who agreed to waive the standard filming fee for the Acropolis – around €1,984 (£1,700) per day – in recognition of the director's international standing. However, this offer was subject to the approval of the Central Archaeological Council, which oversees the Acropolis. They rejected Lanthimos's proposal, citing symbolic inappropriateness and insufficient reverence, and suggested nearby alternatives where he could film. The ministry of culture is said to have delayed its final ruling until producers from the film indicated whether they would pursue another location. On Wednesday, culture minister Lina Mendoni received a letter from Lanthimos's team, reiterating their previously rejected request, but reportedly not providing sufficient grounds for her to ask the Central Archeological Council to reconsider. Despite being widely regarded as one of the planet's most important cultural artefacts, the Acropolis in Athens has often been used as a filming location. It featured extensively in Sophia Loren's 1957 breakthrough, Boy on a Dolphin, as well as in more recent films such as Patricia Highsmith adaptation The Two Faces of January (2014) and Before Midnight (2013). Comparable sites, such as Stonehenge or the Vatican, are usually rebuilt as replicas. Born in Athens, Lanthimos, 51, was among the creative team behind the TV visuals for the 2004 Olympics held in the city. He made his breakthrough film with 2009's Dogtooth, which won the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes and was nominated for the best international Oscar. Alps (2011), The Lobster (2015) and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) cemented his reputation for challenging absurdist comedies, before he found mainstream acclaim with Queen Anne comedy-drama The Favourite (2018), which was nominated for 10 Oscars, winning best actress for Olivia Colman. Lanthimos's first photography monograph, titled Dear God, the Parthenon Is Still Broken, featured photos shot behind the scenes on Poor Things. A second book, I Shall Sing These Songs Beautifully, collected shots from the production of Kinds of Kindness. An exhibition of some of these photographs – Lanthimos's first bricks-and-mortar show – has just opened at a gallery in Los Angeles.
