Mans Spain Fall 2025 Collection
As Jaime Álvarez puts it, sometimes you have to step away to reconnect. After nearly a year's absence, the creative director of Mans has returned to the Madrid runway with a fall 2025 collection where fabric is at the core. His vision was to strike a balance between simplicity and complexity, a goal he achieved by approaching his menswear and womenswear separately. 'In previous seasons, we adapted men's patterns to women, but this year we've created a women's pattern from scratch, 100% for them, which is what our customers have been asking for,' said the Seville-born designer. As for the suits, a Mans signature, the collars were now hand-stitched to the lapels for a more streamlined effect. These sartorial touches coexisted with shirts and pencil skirts, reinterpreted through frills and pleats, dyed in different shades of yellow and pink, and in rich pairings like aubergine and navy blue. The materials also embraced contrasts: 'I wanted to blend the brutalism of cool wool, typically used in tailoring, with delicate fabrics like organza and chiffon,' Álvarez revealed. Sheer dresses also posed a challenge, he shared, particularly because of the tailoring complexities they usually demand at the atelier. This attention to detail is the basis for the slow but steady growth of the brand, now seeking to reach new audiences: 'For the past year, we've noticed an influx of customers from Latin American countries who are opting for high-quality Spanish design,' he stated.

Where Is Natalia Grace Now? Her Life Today After Accusing Two Families Of Abuse
Natalia Grace in 'The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: The Final Chapter" on ID. The story of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian orphan accused by the Barnett family of lying about her age, is at the center of Hulu's new crime drama, Good American Family. Since her controversial adoption in 2010, a lot has unfolded in Natalia's life—so where is she now, and how old is she really? Good American Family, released on March 19, stars Ellen Pompeo and Mark Duplass as Kristine and Michael Barnett, while 27-year-old Imogen Faith Reid portrays Natalia. The series is intentionally told through multiple perspectives to highlight the conflicting accounts about what really happened in the Barnett home. An in-depth look at Natalia's life after leaving the Barnetts is explored in Investigation Discovery's three-season docuseries. In the show, Natalia—who has a rare form of dwarfism called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDc)—claims she escaped mistreatment by the Barnett family and later fled abuse from her next adoptive family, the Mans. Here's what to know about Natalia Grace's life today, including the family she now lives with and why she left the Mans after they adopted her in 2023 Natalia Grace in 'The Curious Case of Natalia Grace" on ID. Natalia Grace was adopted from Ukraine by a New Hampshire couple in 2008 but was re-listed for adoption in 2010. That year, Indiana couple Kristine Elizabeth Barnett, 45, and Michael Barnett, 43, adopted her, believing she was around six or seven years old. However, the Barnetts claimed that Natalia's dangerous and unusual behavior—along with alleged signs of puberty, such as the presence of pubic hair and hidden bloody tampons—led them to question her real age. Two years after adopting her, the Barnetts petitioned the Marion County Probate Court to legally change her age to 22. In 2013, they moved to Canada with their three sons, leaving Natalia alone in an apartment in Lafayette. After more than a month of living alone, Natalia met a neighbor named Cynthia Mans, who noticed her sitting on a sidewalk. Cynthia invited her to move in with her and her husband, Christian pastor Antwon Mans, along with their 10 children. The Mans family formally adopted Natalia in 2023. Michael and Kristine were charged with multiple counts of neglecting a dependent. However, after a five-year investigation, Michael was found not guilty in October 2022 on three counts of neglect and conspiracy to commit neglect of a dependent. In March 2023, similar charges against Kristine were dismissed. A DNA test conducted by the medical lab TruDiagnostic disproved claims that Natalia was posing as an adult while living with the Barnetts. Revealed in the docuseries, the test determined she was approximately 22 years old at the time, meaning she was around 9 when Michael and Kristine Barnett adopted her. 'This one little piece of paper throws every single lie that the Barnetts has said right into the trash with a match,' Natalia said in the series. @themansfamily11/Instagram The Mans family took Natalia into their care in 2013, but tensions escalated after they officially adopted her in 2023. In the third season of The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, Natalia revealed that the fallout began when the Manses attempted to restrict her Internet access after discovering she was communicating with a boyfriend in the U.K. After being legally adopted, Natalia embraced the Manses' religious lifestyle and helped care for her 10 siblings while living with the family in Indiana and later Tennessee. However, in the docuseries, multiple witnesses—including neighbors and friends—allege that they saw the Manses physically abuse Natalia, including whipping her with a belt, slapping her in the face, locking her in a room, and assaulting her, according to People. Natalia Grace in 'The Curious Case of Natalia Grace" on ID. Since 2023, Natalia has been living with the DePaul family. She and her boyfriend reached out to Nicole and Vincent DePaul, a couple with dwarfism who had attempted to adopt her in 2009 but were unable to do so due to financial constraints. As shown in Season 3 of her docuseries, Nicole and her daughter Mackenzie secretly traveled to the Mans family's church and picked up Natalia outside the building. "The last thing I told my sisters were, 'You guys go ahead to the church sanctuary and I love you,' Natalia recalls in the series. "And then I saw the [DePauls] pull up and Mack jumped out and I'm like, 'Oh, my gosh, she's actually here.' My heart started pounding. I was terrified. I was completely terrified," she said. In January 2025, Natalia appeared on the cover of People Magazine to share her story and reclaim her narrative. 'I'm really just trying to take control of my life and stop letting other people control it. I feel like I'm becoming this new person,' Natalia said. 'This new version feels amazing—feels free.' "Just seeing what I went through and even someone with my disability — you can do anything you put your mind to. You can get through anything that life throws at you," she continued. "At the end of the day, something good happened from it. It's time to re-write my story." Nicole told People that while she has no plans to legally adopt Natalia, their life together is generally harmonious—though there are times when they don't always get along. "At first it was bumpy because the Mans were still involved. They were calling Natalia constantly and trying to wheel her back in," Nicole said. 'It was just this constant thing where we were walking a fine line of not doing too much. See, she just came from this house that basically was ruled by a dictator, so I didn't want to tell her what to do.' While the DePauls said that Natalia has never exhibited violent behavior, they recalled one incident in which she secretly recorded them in their home. Such disruptions are expected, they said, given Natalia's diagnosis of reactive attachment disorder (RAD), a behavioral condition commonly seen in children who have spent time in an orphanage. 'Did she probably do weird things in the past? Yeah,' Nicole added. '[But] when you take in a child, you take that child as your own. You don't just get rid of them when they don't fit into your puzzle." 'We're trying to guide Natalia, not control her. She's super sweet. She wouldn't hurt a fly,' added Nicole's husband, Vince. Natalia is currently studying for her GED and hopes to become a teacher. She's also learning to drive, loves listening to Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, and is preparing for upcoming surgeries related to her disabilities, according to People. She's also happily in a relationship with her boyfriend, Neil. "It's a blessing to be alive today because looking back at my 7-year-old self, I should have been dead," Natalia said. "Learning everything that I have about how to live with my dwarfism—it's been a great experience. I love it. I mean, of course, I still miss my siblings and everything. But I love it. I feel free." Good American Family is streaming on Hulu. Watch the official trailer below.

‘The Residence,' Plus 7 Things to Watch on TV this Week
Between streaming and cable, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to watch. Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that air or stream this week, March 17-23. Details and times are subject to change. Something isn't right? Natalia Grace Mans was adopted from Ukraine in 2010 by an American family. By 2011, they had argued to a court that they didn't believe Mans was a child, as they had been told, and instead was an adult woman with dwarfism. Perhaps because of its similarity to plot of the 2009 horror movie 'The Orphan,' the story went viral and became the topic of podcasts, news stories and a documentary series entitled 'The Curious Case of Natalia Grace.' Now, a fictionalized version, 'Good American Family,' is coming out this week. The show stars Ellen Pompeo and Mark Duplass as the adoptive parents and Imogen Faith Reid as Natalia. Streaming on Hulu on Wednesday. The new mystery drama 'The Residence' asks the question: What would happen if there was a murder at a White House state dinner? The series stars Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp, a detective with the Metropolitan Police Department who is brought in to question the personnel who were around when the crime occurred. And of course, throughout all of this, interpersonal conflicts arise, people start acting shady and secrets are revealed. Streaming on Netflix on Thursday. In the 1990s, there were a string of murders around the U.S. When the cases started getting media attention, the killer, Keith Hunter Jesperson, would write letters to newspapers and police departments detailing the specifics of his crimes and signing with a smiley face, giving him the moniker 'the happy face killer.' He is currently serving four consecutive life sentences. In the new series, 'Happy Face,' Dennis Quaid is taking on the role of Jesperson in this fictional retelling of the terrifying and true story. Streaming on Paramount+ on Thursday. Celebrating music. This week, music will be celebrated at the iHeart Radio Music Awards. And though Taylor Swift finished with her Eras Tour, she continues to be top of mind — the show takes place on the two year anniversary of the start of the tour, so the show will feature a filmed performance from that first night. Lady Gaga and Mariah Carey will be honored, and LL Cool J is set to host. Monday at 8 p.m. on Fox. In 1925, George D. Hay started a country radio broadcast WSM Barn Dance, which was renamed as the Grand Ole Opry in 1927. A platform to celebrate both longtime stars and newcomers to the genre, it is the longest running radio show. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, Blake Shelton is hosting 'Opry 100,' with performances and appearances by Reba McEntire, Post Malone, Alan Jackson and many more. Wednesday at 8 p.m. on NBC and streaming on Peacock. Let them eat cake. The first season of the show 'Marie Antoinette' followed the newlywed, played by Emilia Schüle, as she moved to Versailles and began to orient herself in her new life. In the second season, premiering this week, Antoinette and Louis XVI (Louis Cunningham) face financial struggles, constant criticism and the infamous diamond necklace affair. Sunday at 10 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). Oscar winners come to streaming. This month the indie movie 'Anora' took home five Academy Awards, including for best picture, best director and best actress. The story follows Ani (Mikey Madison), a sex worker who impulsively marries Ivan (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a wealthy family from Russia, who she meets at her strip club. As you can imagine, things aren't exactly happily ever after. If you didn't catch the film in theaters or would like to relive the characters' stressful jaunt around Brighton Beach, now is the time. Streaming on Hulu on Monday. If my neighbors were already sick of me belting out 'Defying Gravity,' things are about to get much worse for them: 'Wicked,' starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, will be available to stream this week. The movie took home two Oscars last month, and we're roughly T-minus nine months away from part two — so it only makes sense to begin rewatching. Streaming on Peacock on Friday.
