Cat Deeley's This Morning £39 Next top divides fans who call it beachwear
Cat Deeley's latest This Morning look has split viewers' opinions, with some suggesting her £39 Next top looks like beachwear - is it stylish or too casual for work? Cat Deeley has been killing the fashion game lately with her This Morning outfits. From her butter yellow linen suit by Massimo Dutti to her figure-flattering green maxi dress from French Connection, and her occasionwear-ready mini dress from River Island. Cat's looks have been a perfect mix of high-street pieces and timeless tailoring. However, her latest ensemble has sparked a bit of debate among viewers, with some saying it looked a little too beachy for daytime TV. The outfit in question? Next's Black Hardware Detail Halter Top, priced at £39, paired with ME + EM's Ultra High Waist Wide-Leg Trouser, priced at £250. While undeniably chic, in our opinion, the combo of a floaty halterneck and slouchy silhouette has divided opinion online. Over on X, one user asked, 'Has Cat come straight from a beach bar?', while another added: 'Cat — you're not having a day at the beach, love. Dress like a professional at work. #ThisMorning' So it begs the question: would you wear this look to the office? Honestly, it depends on your workplace vibe. In a more formal, client-facing environment, the halter neckline and exposed shoulders might feel a touch too relaxed. But for more casual settings, especially in today's WFH-friendly and generally more flexible world, it could totally work. Personally, I'd balance out the breezy top with slightly slimmer-fitting, tailored trousers or add a lightweight blazer over the top for a bit more structure. That way, you keep the relaxed, summery feel without crossing the line into unprofessional territory. Equally, the vibrant orange trousers would look amazing and office-friendly, teamed with a smart button-up white shirt, like this one from H&M for £19.99, and a pair of chunky loafers. However, the presenter's recent butter yellow tailored ensemble proves Cat can rock a chic, work-appropriate look. The oversized blazer and trousers were not only an excellent choice for the studio but would also be a top pick for maintaining a sophisticated and chic appearance in the office whilst remaining comfortable.

Chilling new details in Gene Hackman's wife Betsy Arakawa's autopsy revealed
New details surrounding Betsy Arakawa's death have been revealed by her final autopsy results. The 95-year-old French Connection actor and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 65, were found dead at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the end of February. The usual way they were discovered sparked a police investigation into their deaths. It was later revealed that Hackman, 95, died of heart disease with advanced Alzheimer's disease listed as a significant contributory factor', while the classical pianist, 65, battled hantavirus – a rare, infectious condition – before her death. It has now emerged that Arakawa had fluid in her chest, and the vessels supplying blood to her heart and body had mild hardening, as confirmed in an autopsy seen by AP as reported by Fox. She died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which was transmitted by rodents living around their home. It was confirmed that she tested negative for COVID-19 and the flu. She also had normal carbon monoxide levels and tested positive for caffeine but negative for alcohol and intoxicating drugs. This comes just a couple of days after the release of Hackman's final autopsy. Fox reported that the final autopsy from the Office of the Medical Investigator in New Mexico, has revealed he had further health issues. As well as a 'history of congestive heart failure' and 'severe chronic hypertensive changes, kidneys', the actor also had a 'bi-ventricular pacemaker' fitted in April 2019. The documents noted 'neurodegenerative features consistent with Alzheimer's Disease'. The report read: 'Autopsy showed severe atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, with placement of coronary artery stents and a bypass graft, as well as a previous aortic valve replacement. 'Remote myocardial infarctions were present involving the left ventricular free wall and the septum, which were significantly large. 'Examination of the brain showed microscopic findings of advanced-stage Alzheimer's disease.' Police say Hackman likely died on February 18, almost a week after his wife Arakawa is thought to have died on February 11. On February 9 Arakawa took the dog, who was found deceased in the crate, to the vets for a procedure. On February 11 Arakawa sent her last email, to her massage therapist at around 11am. In the afternoon, she took a trip to a farmer's market, CVS pharmacy and a pet food shop. Her car was used to access the gated community after 5pm. She did not have any ongoing communication or activity in the local area after February 11. On February 12, Arakawa made multiple calls to a health clinic for medical treatment, which she was not able to receive. She also googled health care providers – having previously searched for causes of symptoms she was experiencing. Gene Hackman's pacemaker detected cardiac activity on February 17, and an abnormal rhythm on February 18, when activity stopped. Their bodies were discovered on February 26, 15 days after Arakawa was thought to have died, and eight days after Hackman's pacemaker recorded its last heartbeat. Two weeks ago, the couple was laid to rest in a private funeral with friends and family invited to the event. More Trending Hackman's three children, Christopher, 65, Elizabeth, 62, and Leslie, 58, from his first marriage to Faye Maltese were all in attendance. In March, TMZ obtained a copy of Hackman's will, which appeared to show that he left his entire fortune to his partner, and made her the sole beneficiary in 1995. Although his children were not included, TMZ reported that Hackman's children will 'presumably get his share' as they are his direct living heirs. Got a story?

Gene Hackman's Final Autopsy Contains A Chilling Detail
Gene Hackman may have been starving when he died, his final autopsy suggested. The French Connection and Unforgiven Oscar winner's acetone levels indicated he may have not eaten for quite some time before his death at age 95 in February, Fox News reported on Sunday. The autopsy report noted while acetone is used in household products it's 'also a product of diabetic- and fasting-induced ketoacidosis as well as a metabolite following isopropanol ingestion,' Fox News wrote. It can also be the result of 'prolonged starvation,' according to Healthline. Related: Hillary Clinton's Response To The Pete Hegseth Group Chat Scandal Is Going Viral A host of health woes led to the actor's demise, according to the examiner's report, including a 'history of congestive heart failure' and 'severe chronic hypertensive changes' to his kidneys. He also showed 'neurodegenerative features consistent with Alzheimer's disease.' In March, the chief medical investigator had already determined Hackman died from 'hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with Alzheimer's disease as a significant contributory factor.' Related: Donald Trump Supporters Are Losing Their Minds Over The New Trump Tariffs, And It's Exactly The Meltdown We All Saw Coming TMZ wrote the mention of Hackman's acetone levels was 'not totally surprising' since his 65-year-old wife, Betsy Arakawa, reportedly died about a week before him in their Santa Fe, New Mexico, home, 'and it appears he wasn't in a healthy enough state to care for himself.' Hackman tested negative for the rodent-borne hantavirus, which killed his wife. Their bodies were discovered in separate rooms on Feb. 25, and the ensuing investigation captured the nation's interest for several weeks. This article originally appeared on HuffPost.
