From Tom Ford To Valentino: The 7 Looks That Taiwanese Star Lin Chi-Ling Wore To Cannes 2025
Taiwanese model and actress Lin Chi-Ling (林志玲) will surely make waves online wherever she goes. With her statuesque frame and beautiful visuals, it's no surprise that whatever she wears turns into a headline-worthy outfit. Recently, the model spent her days at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025. Lin Chi-Ling had a packed schedule during her week at the event. She was present at the premiere of Wes Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme', the Kering Women in Motion Gala, the Taiwan Cinema Night and the China Film Night event. Of course, the 50-year-old's outfits at each appearance garnered netizens' attention. Here's a look at what she wore at Cannes: Nicole + Felicia Couture The actress brought graceful power to the prestigious event in a sculpted two-piece fishtail gown by Nicole + Felicia Couture. The brilliant pearl necklace by Qeelin Jewellery and shoes from Jimmy Choo elevated the look from simple to sophisticated. Valentino At the Taiwan Cinema Night event, Lin Chi-Ling wore an embellished champagne gown from Maison Valentino. The large bow on her waist added a touch of youthfulness, while embellishments made it look like Lin Shi-Ling was sparkling in the night. She also wore another Maison Valentino gown later that week. The golden number also featured a large bow, as well as a tiered-ruffle skirt with a large slit to show off her long legs. Diamond accessories from Chopard completed the look. Ralph Lauren During her talk at the Asian Women Cinema Forum, the star kept it simple with an off-white number from Ralph Lauren. While she opted to skip the accessories with this look, the gown complemented her skin and made her look radiant. Danielle Frankel Another white ensemble that Lin Chi-ling wore during the event was from bridal designer Danielle Frankel. The off-the-shoulder element and the flowy sleeves helped create a soft and tender vibe. La Koradior One look that had everyone talking was the black La Koradior Haute Couture piece that Lin Chi-Ling wore to the Kering Women In Motion Gala. The piece looked unassuming from the front, but the highlight was the drop diamond necklace by Qeelin Jewellery at the back. Tom Ford The model's Tom Ford look at the China Film Night, had netizens calling her a real-life mermaid. The blue dress, which glimmered under the sun, was paired with emerald earrings by Maison Alt. Lin Chi-Ling's wet hairstyle also seemed intentional as she posed on large rocks by the beach.

100 Names You'll Name Drop All Year According To The Cult100
Chloe Fineman, Photo Credit: Arrivals - Madison McGaw for BFA Lists are everywhere. But Cultured magazine's 'CULT100' reads less like a trend report, and more like a cultural edit. As the tagline promises, these are '100 names you'll name drop all year.' Beneath its mission lies a deeper goal: to inspire not just cultural relevance, but cultural resonance. The name itself — CULT100 — hints at more than just hype. From cult classics to cult followings, the word 'cult' also means sparking obsession and signals being ahead of the curve. For Sarah Harrelson, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Cultured, the CULT100 is an intellectual and emotional undertaking. 'These lists are huge undertakings,' she says. 'For this year's CULT100, our mission was to look beyond the obvious, to allow for discovery, to let intellectual curiosity guide us.' Released in the last week of April to coincide with Cultured's April/May issue, the CULT100 event was held on the first Thursday in May, kicking off New York's unofficial 'social week.' The timing, as Harrelson notes, was unintentional. 'There is certainly overlap,' she says, 'but we have carved out a very different voice, niche, path, and intention from the Met Gala.' That intention was made clear at this year's CULT100 celebration, hosted at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in partnership with Maison Valentino. Rather than a typical industry party, the evening unfolded as a mashup of genres and generations: opening remarks from Sarah Jessica Parker (a CULT100 honoree) and a monologue by Saturday Night Live's Chloe Fineman (also on the list), which featured a cameo from Walton Goggins, who is hosting SNL this coming weekend. The night continued with a reading by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a performance by Laufey, and a DJ set by Julia Fox. 'I wanted to put together an unexpected range of cultural programming,' Harrelson says. (Goal, very much achieved.) The broad spectrum also reflects the range of the CULT100 list itself, by striking a balance of globally recognized names like Parker, Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams alongside lesser-known individuals 'doing remarkable work across a range of creative disciplines, sometimes behind the scenes.' 'With the CULT100, the dynamism and range of the list is its differentiator," Harrelson explains. 'The balance is simply in the numbers. The list represents just as many emerging disruptors as iconic names.' 'We have A-List film stars alongside artists, museum curators, a civil rights attorney, and more rising talents across creative disciplines." It also includes digital voices like Feed Me creator Emily Sundberg, whom Cultured dubs 'the millennial Carrie Bradshaw — but instead of writing about sex, she writes about money — and how a certain set of New Yorkers is getting and spending it.' Sundberg has proven that a sharp Substack can shape the conversation just as powerfully as a red carpet appearance. 'We wanted to recognize the full spectrum of influence — macro or micro — and find the people who are shaping and challenging cultural conversations in their own unique ways,' Harrelson says. In an era when cultural relevance is often confused with social visibility, how does Cultured look at 'making noise' and creating buzz? 'It feels more competitive than ever to 'make noise' with the speed in which content cycles through,' Harrelson says. 'You have to do something that feels singular and authentic to who you are and what your brand is.' For Cultured, that means intentionally replacing what's trending in favor of what's lasting. 'We work very hard to examine what matters now,' Harrelson says, 'but we don't spend much time on what is trending.' While other lists often imply a hierarchy, or offer a 'you made it' stamp, the CULT100 vibes on a different frequency. 'The dynamism and range of the list is its differentiator,' Harrelson explains. 'Our honorees are leveled in a different way. We aim for the curation to bring gravitas to creatives who may be lesser-known but have work that is just as culturally significant.' More than a list, the CULT100 is a statement. A tribute to those who ask for forgiveness, not permission; who shift conversations instead of following them; who move culture because they move differently.

Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani spent Rs 830 crore on daughter Isha Ambani's wedding, was it more than Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding?
When it comes to Ambani weddings, the celebrations never truly end. Even after several months, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's grand affair remains the talk of the town — from Anant's eye-catching diamond brooch to Radhika's mesmerizing bridal appearances. But before this, it was Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal's lavish wedding on December 12, 2018, that set the bar so high, it's still unforgettable today. Isha, daughter of business magnate Mukesh Ambani, exchanged vows with Anand Piramal, son of billionaire industrialist Ajay Piramal, who holds a significant presence in the pharmaceutical sector with an estimated net worth of USD 2.9 billion. According to reports, the lavish wedding—complete with luxurious invitations and celebrity performances—cost around Rs 830 crore. This extravagant celebration stands out as one of the most expensive weddings in Indian history. While Radhika Merchant showcased a series of stunning looks at different wedding ceremonies, it was Isha Ambani's timeless style that truly stole the show. Whether it was her bridal lehenga or her outfits for the haldi ceremony, every look proved that Isha's fashion game remains unmatched — making it clear that Radhika couldn't quite rival her in this department. While Radhika Merchant dazzled in numerous designer outfits throughout her months-long pre-wedding celebrations, Isha Ambani stole the spotlight at her pre-wedding party with a single breathtaking look. She wore a shimmering silver evening gown by Maison Valentino, featuring an elegantly styled back, paired with exquisite diamond earrings and a matching necklace. Even after six years, Isha's timeless style continues to leave a lasting impression. Meanwhile, Radhika lit up her cruise pre-wedding events with multiple stunning ensembles. She wore a striking white gown by Lever Couture, designed with a 3D effect and a flowing fringed trail. Another memorable moment was her custom black-and-white 'Love Letter' gown by Robert Wun, adorned with a printed love letter that Anant had written to her on her 22nd birthday. Radhika Merchant's haldi look had gone viral on social media. She looked gorgeous in a stunning floral-patterned outfit by Anamika Khanna, styled with a dupatta made from fresh mogra and marigold flowers. Her look was absolutely breathtaking, but Isha Ambani's haldi appearance was on a different level altogether. Isha wore a yellow Sabyasachi lehenga intricately embroidered with gold threadwork, paired with a matching organza dupatta draped like a shawl. Instead of opting for diamond or emerald jewelry, she accessorized with a garland and earrings made from fresh mogra flowers, along with floral bangles. It seemed like Isha was the one who first introduced the trend of real flower jewelry within the Ambani family. As per estimates from LiveMint, The Economic Times, and Outlook Business, the total cost of Anant Ambani's wedding festivities stands at approximately Rs 5,000 crore. This staggering amount surpasses even some of the world's most iconic weddings — including that of Princess Diana and Prince Charles (Rs 1,361 crore) and Sheikha Hind Bint Maktoum's (Rs 1,144 crore) — placing it among the most expensive weddings in history.
