Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Continue Sparking Engagement Rumors on Rare Date Night
Dua Lipa and boyfriend Callum Turner stepped out for a rare date night in New York City. The singer appeared to be wearing a ring on her left hand after several months of engagement rumors. The pair have been dating for just over a year after they were first spotted on a date last Lipa and her boyfriend Callum Turner stepped out for a rare date night on May 2. The pair were spotted holding hands as they walked outside in the streets of New York City. While Dua rocked a high-necked leather minidress with a matching clutch and knee-high boots, her boyfriend contrasted with her in a white t-shirt, white overshirt, and baggy mint green pants. Their cute date night comes after the pair sparked engagement rumors late last year. Dua was spotted wearing a ring on her left hand in several Instagram posts in December and January. At the time, a source told The Sun that the rumors were true. 'They are engaged and couldn't be happier," said the source. "Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally and this is the cherry on the cake.' When the couple made an appearance in January at a Tiffany & Co. Party at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris, she was wearing a tell-tale ring yet again. Earlier this week, Dua supported her friend, director Pedro Almodóvar, who was honored with the Chaplin Award. During her appearance, she wore a Schiaparelli snake dress—along with a ring on her left hand. Also this week, Dua can be seen in her ring in a few photos from her latest Instagram post. And, yes, in a few of the images from their latest date night, it seems that Dua is still sporting a ring on the fourth finger of her left hand. Dua and Turner have been Instagram official since last July, when the singer included him in a photo dump. However, they were first spotted on what appeared to be a date back in January and later at the Grammys after-party in February. In April, the pair were also spotted holding hands on a date night. The pair have not made a statement about the ongoing engagement rumors. Read the original article on InStyle

Pedro Almodóvar calls Trump ‘greatest mistake of our time' as he receives Chaplin award
Pedro Almodóvar described US president Donald Trump as the 'greatest mistake of our time', while accepting the prestigious Chaplin Award in New York. The celebrated Spanish director spoke on stage at Manhattan's Lincoln Center on Monday, where he was presented with the award. 'I doubted if it was appropriate to come to a country ruled by a narcissistic authoritarian leader who doesn't respect human rights, and whom it seems nothing can stop on his race to change fragile world balance,' The Room Next Door director said. 'Trump and his friends, millionaires and oligarchs, cannot convince us that the reality we are seeing with our own eyes is the opposite of what we are living, however much he may twist the words, claiming that they mean the opposite of what they do.' Almodóvar's speech, delivered on the eve of Trump completing 100 days in office, referenced the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants and transgender rights. 'Immigrants are not criminals, even though the United States treats them as such. [Ukraine's president] Zelensky is not a dictator, Putin is. And however much Trump denies it, it was Russia that invaded Ukraine. Hunter Schafer, the wonderful co-protagonist with Zendaya of Euphoria, is a woman. Even though she was assigned male while renewing her passport.' In February this year, Schafer, 26, shared in a TikTok video that her renewed passport came back with her sex marked as M for male, even though she had filled out the forms marking her gender as female. 'Mr Trump, I'm talking to you,' Almodóvar continued. 'Mr Trump, I hope that you hear what I'm going to say to you. You will go down in history as the greatest mistake of our time. Your naiveté is only comparable to your violence. You will go down in history as one of the greatest damages to humanity since the beginning of the century. You will go down in history as a catastrophe.' Almodóvar went on to express his gratitude for the award, and dedicated it to the 'thousands deported in recent weeks', Schafer, and to Harvard University for its 'determination to not surrender to Trump's war on knowledge and culture'. Harvard University is suing the Trump administration for cutting $2.2bn in federal funding, alleging retaliation over its refusal to punish pro-Palestinian student protests and comply with demands to end DEI programmes and favour conservative applicants. Almodóvar brought up his experiences growing up in Spain under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, crediting the shift to democracy with his growth as a director. 'It is impossible to explain what that feeling of absolute liberty meant for a young person who wanted to make films,' he said. Dua Lipa, John Turturro, John Waters, Rossy de Palma, and Mikhail Baryshnikov also attended the ceremony to present him with the award, while Martin Scorsese, Tilda Swinton, and Antonio Banderas shared pre-recorded tributes. 'He has a unique vision and his own brand of irreverent humor and a vibrant sense of color that lets you know you're in for a wild ride, driven by an expert driver,' Turturro said. 'I especially love how you just completely normalised trans and gay roles or storylines, something that feels these days like quite a radical act. And yet there's a lightness and a heart to everything you do,' said Dua Lipa.

Pedro Almodóvar says Trump will ‘go down in history as a catastrophe,' dedicates film award to the ‘thousands deported'
Famed director Pedro Almodóvar says President Trump will 'go down in history as a catastrophe,' dedicating a film award to the 'thousands deported in recent weeks,' as well as Harvard University and to a transgender Hollywood star. 'I wish to express my gratitude for this award; however, I admit there have been moments where I have doubted about coming to accept it, in the same way that I would go to… Russia or North Korea,' Almodóvar said Monday while being honored with the Lincoln Center's Chaplin Award in New York City. 'I doubted if it was appropriate to come to a country ruled by a narcissistic, authoritarian lunatic who doesn't respect human rights and who it seems nothing can stop in his race to change the fragile world balance,' Almodóvar, who was born in Spain, said to applause. 'Trump and his friends — millionaires and oligarchs — cannot convince us that the reality we are seeing with our own eyes is the opposite of what we are living, however much he may twist the words, claiming that they mean the opposite of what they do.' 'Immigrants are not criminals,' he exclaimed. Trump has signed multiple executive orders targeting immigration, and his administration has touted its deportation efforts, many of which are being challenged in court. Pushing back on Trump's sharp criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following Russia's 2022 invasion of the country, Almodóvar said, 'Zelensky is not a dictator. [Russian President Vladimir Putin] is. And however much Trump denies it, it was Russia that invaded Ukraine.' Almodóvar also defended 'Euphoria' star Hunter Schafer. The transgender performer said in February she had been issued a U.S. passport with a male gender marker. 'That cruel whim by trans bureaucrats, that there are only two genders, does not change the nature of the human being and its sexual diversity,' Almodóvar said. 'Mr. Trump: I'm talking to you. And I hope that you hear what I'm going to say to you,' the 75-year-old 'Talk to Her' director said. 'You will go down in history as the greatest mistake of our time. Your naiveté is only comparable to your violence. You will go down in history as one of the greatest dangers to humanity in this beginning of the century. You will go down in history as a catastrophe,' Almodóvar said. Almodóvar said that 'given the circumstances,' he wished to dedicate his award to 'the thousands deported in recent weeks, to the beautiful Hunter Schafer as well, and to Harvard University' for the school's 'determination to not surrender to Trump's war on knowledge and culture which remain the best weapons to fight lies and misinformation.' Earlier this month, Harvard University rejected policy change demands from the White House, to which the administration responded by freezing billions of dollars in federal funding. Harvard has sued the Trump administration as a result. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Pedro Almodóvar Deems Trump ‘Greatest Mistake Of Our Time' In Fiery Speech
Pedro Almodóvar deemed President Donald Trump 'a catastrophe' and 'the greatest mistake of our time' while accepting an illustrious award Monday in New York. The Spanish director and screenwriter made the fiery remarks at the Film at Lincoln Center's annual gala, where he received the Chaplin Award for career achievement in the film industry. 'I doubted if it was appropriate to come to a country ruled by a narcissistic authority, who doesn't respect human rights,' Almodóvar told the starry crowd, which included legendary dancer-choreographer Mikhail Baryshnikov and pop singer Dua Lipa. 'Trump and his friends, millionaires and oligarchs, cannot convince us that the reality we are seeing with our own eyes is the opposite of what we are living, however much he may twist the words, claiming that they mean the opposite of what they do. Immigrants are not criminals. It was Russia that invaded Ukraine.' Elsewhere in his speech, the two-time Oscar winner compared his childhood in Spain under dictator Francisco Franco to the experiences of present-day Americans under Trump. Addressing Trump directly, he noted: 'You will go down in history as the greatest mistake of our time. Your naiveté is only comparable to your violence. You will go down in history as one of the greatest damages to humanity. … You will go down in history as a catastrophe.' (Watch Almodóvar's speech in full here.) The filmmaker's made the remarks after a series of new polls have found Trump's popularity plummeting among U.S. voters. Among the most damning was a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll in which just 39% of respondents said they approve of the way the president is handling his job. Almodóvar rose to prominence in Spain in the early 1980s. His international breakthrough came in 1988 with the dark comedy 'Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown,' starring Antonio Banderas. He's widely known among modern audiences for his collaborations with Banderas and Penélope Cruz, while his recent hits include 2016's 'Julieta' and last year's 'The Room Next Door,' starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton. In addition to Almodóvar, recent Chaplin Award recipients include Jeff Bridges, Viola Davis and Spike Lee.
