Here's How to Wear a Shearling Coat for Spring, According to Anya Taylor-Joy
Anya Taylor-Joy is molting for spring. This past February, while promoting her film The Gorge, the actor strutted around New York City dressed in an 'exploding shearling' coat from McQueen's fall 2024 collection. While Taylor-Joy was practically swallowed by her outerwear this past winter, she's toning things down for spring. Just don't expect her to ditch the shearling. Last night, Taylor-Joy and her husband, Malcolm McRae, joined the likes of Bono, Al Pacino, and Baz Luhrmann at the Chateau Marmont for Miley Cyrus's album listening party. The actor dressed for the cooler mid-60s temperatures in a cream shearling blazer, which she wore over a black tie-neck top and slim-fitting navy trousers. Keeping with the jacket's coziness, Taylor-Joy added some comfortable footwear: a pair of black elasticated ballet flats with a pull-tab on the heel. Anya Taylor-Joy, February 2025 Raymond Hall The shearling blazer feels like a more wearable evolution of the more extreme bathrobe trend that gripped celebrities from Rihanna to Angelina Jolie. While she could very easily rock a shearling robe dress to the Chateau Marmont, here, Anya Taylor-Joy is ditching the formal silhouette, but keeping the luxe fabric.

Margaret K. Lewis School to relocate to St. Andrews School at Oakland Terrace site
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Bay District Schools is updating the Margaret K. Lewis School. It is a special education school with 200 students. As part of the new design, the school must have exits that prevent runners, covered student pick-up areas, and storage alcoves in hallways. Every classroom needs a handicap accessible bathroom. The school said they also need skill labs, an agricultural green space, and they'd like to add a covered, exterior dining option. The costs are adding up. However, Bay District Schools Superintendent Mark McQueen said they want to meet their students' needs. 'There are items that you absolutely have to have that meet ADA compliance requirements, for example. And we also need to make life safety considerations in there and then personal safety of the students. And we had some examples of how you have students that need to go out a door that's designed for a fire exit,' McQueen added. Designs for the Margaret K. Lewis School will be completed in the next 12 months. The school will be relocated to the St. Andrews school at Oakland Terrace. They will tear down the old facility and then begin construction. Construction will begin by next summer. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Gordon McQueen's daughter Hayley's turmoil as wait for death certificate passes 18 months
Hayley McQueen's father, former Manchester United and Scotland defender, Gordon, sadly passed away in 2023 – but his family are still waiting for his death certificate Sky Sports presenter Hayley McQueen has disclosed that she is yet to receive her father Gordon's death certificate. McQueen, 45, shared the sad news of her father's passing at age 70 in June 2023. Gordon was a cherished figure in football with noteworthy stints at Manchester United, Leeds United and St Mirren while also representing Scotland on the international stage on 30 occasions. He had been diagnosed with vascular dementia two-years prior to his passing. Earlier this year, it was made public that Northallerton Coroners Court would hold an inquest into McQueen's death to look into possible connections with heading the ball during his professional career. The inquest is also aimed to explore the number of goals resulted from headers he contributed during his career. Hayley and her family have previously indicated their concern that regularly heading footballs could have contributed to his dementia. Five months since the inquest announcement, Hayley expressed on the Ainslie + Ainslie Performance People podcast that they are still awaiting a death certificate. When asked about it, McQueen said: "Yes. We are still waiting for the cause of death and whether it's ruled as industrial disease." Hayley sought the expertise of Professor William Stewart, who played a significant role in the 2021 parliamentary review into the link between sports and long-term brain injuries, and offered her father's brain for medical examination shortly after he died. She added: "I was in contact with him (Professor Stewart) before and we discussed a few things. "I'd had to get quite matter-of-fact about things, but I was like 'Oh, my dad does want to donate his brain to medical science.' We did that privately, but our local coroner decided that he wanted to open an inquest because on my Dad's death certificate – well he doesn't have a death certificate – the interim cause of death, when you're issued a certificate to handle banking issues and such, was listed as pneumonia. "My dad did not die from pneumonia. He was bed bound and due to the liquid intake, it was a complication. Eventually, that took him." Hayley elaborated on what Professor Stewart discovered, stating: "Everything points towards the heading of the football. There is CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) that professor Willie Stewart found. He's just the most wonderful and incredible man, and he sat with us and broke down everything in the post-mortem." In 2019, the Football Association and the Professional Footballers' Association conducted their own study and concluded that former football players are three-and-a-half times more likely to die from degenerative brain diseases. Regarding the inquest into McQueen's death, the brief hearing stated that they could not set a date, as they were unable to find his medical records between 1972 and 1995. Coroner Jon Heath said he would need to locate the records from that time period before they could proceed. The timetable for the inquest remains unclear, but following her discussion with Professor Stewart, Hayley and her family are now more resolved than ever to uncover further details surrounding the death. She said: "It spurred us on. We were like 'Okay, we're going to fight this fight.' We haven't done it for any kind of litigation, we just want information. "I would love to know that, if they think it was from the heading of the football, that the information was really powerful, to make the authorities and people in football really start to pay attention to the fact that you can get brain damage from heading a football."

Hayley McQueen's turmoil over 18-month wait for dad Gordon's death certificate
Hayley McQueen's father Gordon passed away in June 2023 at the age of 70, two years after being diagnosed with vascular dementia, with an inquest into his death yet to take place Sky Sports presenter Hayley McQueen's wait for her father Gordon's death certificate has now incredibly passed 18 months. He was best known for his successful career as a football player, which saw him represent Manchester United, Leeds United and Scotland. In June 2023, Sky Sports presenter Hayley revealed her father had passed away, two years after being diagnosed with vascular dementia. At the start of 2025, Northallerton Coroners Court announced there would be an inquest into McQueen's passing, which will examine the effect of heading the ball throughout his career, while also scrutinising the nature of the goals he scored. The McQueen family has openly voiced their concerns about the potential link between heading footballs and his dementia. Nearly half a year since the inquest began, Hayley has spoken up about the upsetting delay her family is facing in getting the death certificate, as a result of the inquest. Speaking on the Ainslie + Ainslie Performance People podcast, when asked to confirm that her family have still not been given a death certificate, she said: "Yes. We are still waiting for the cause of death and whether it's ruled as industrial disease." Hayley offered up McQueen's brain for scientific research to Professor William Stewart, who had significant involvement in the 2021 government investigation into sports-related brain injuries. She added: "I was in contact with him before and we discussed a few things. I'd had to get quite a matter of fact about things, but I was like 'Oh, my dad does want to donate his brain to medical science.' "We did that privately, but our local coroner determined that he wanted to open an inquest because on my Dad's death certificate - well he doesn't have a death certificate – the interim cause of death, when you're issued a certificate to be able to deal with banking issues and things like that, was down as pneumonia. "My dad did not die from pneumonia. He was bed bound and because of the liquid intake, it was a complication. Eventually, that took him." While explaining what Professor Stewart discovered while looking at her father's brain, she added: "Everything points towards the heading of the football. "There is CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) that Professor Stewart found. He's just the most wonderful and incredible man, and he sat with us and broke down everything in the post-mortem." In 2019, research from the Football Association and the Professional Footballers' Association highlighted that football players are 3.5 times more susceptible to degenerative brain diseases. The inquiry into McQueen's death is yet to receive a starting date, as the coroner Jon Heath said they must locate the ex-defender's medical records from 1972 to 1995 before moving forward with the inquiry. There's still no word on when the inquest will happen. But after Hayley's discussion with Professor Stewart, the family's resolve to uncover more details about the death has only intensified. She added: "It spurred us on. We were like 'Okay, we're going to fight this fight.' We haven't done it for any kind of litigation, we just want information. "I would love to know that, if they think it was from the heading of the football, that the information was really powerful, to make the authorities and people in football really start to pay attention to the fact that you can get brain damage from heading a football."

Hollywood Cool For Summer—Steve McQueen's Iconic Persol 714 Is Back
The actor Steve McQueen — the King of Cool - in a pair of Italian brand Persol's iconic 714 sunglasses. Persol- Mptvimages In 1968, Hollywood actor Steve McQueen stepped onto the set of The Thomas Crown Affair and, with a single accessory, changed the course of eyewear history — a pair of Persol 714 sunglasses. With their foldable design, Light Havana acetate frames, and blue crystal lenses, the glasses weren't just stylish — they became instantly iconic. Founded in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti in Turin, Italy, Persol — short for per il sole, meaning 'for the sun' — quickly became a respected name across Europe, particularly among aviators, race car drivers, and adventurers. The brand's iconic 649 model , originally introduced in 1957 for Turin tram operators, gained cult status when Marcello Mastroianni wore it in the 1961 film Divorce Italian Style. Building on the 649's success, Persol debuted the 714 in 1960 — the world's first folding sunglasses. Retaining the signature Meflecto temples (engineered for a flexible, comfortable fit) and the distinctive Supreme Arrow hinge (inspired by ancient swords), the 714 could collapse into the size of a single lens, and making it a favorite among style-conscious travelers. The latest iteration of Persol's 714: A leather foldable case, a leather cord with matching pouch and a vintage-style envelope filled with rare archival materials. Persol And then came McQueen. In The Thomas Crown Affair, he played a billionaire playboy orchestrating a daring heist — but it was his Persol 714 sunglasses that stole every scene. Whether racing dune buggies along the Massachusetts coast, piloting a yellow sailplane, or sharing a silent chess match with Faye Dunaway, his shades were always front and center. McQueen wore the 714s in Bullitt (1968), famous for its iconic car chase, Le Mans (1971), a tribute to the 24-hour motor race, and The Getaway (1972), a high-stakes crime thriller. Actor James Franco at the Cannes Film Festival in Steve McQueen's 714 model of Persols. Persol This spring, Persol released its latest edition of the 714 Steve McQueen model — unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival at Casa Persol, the brand's private terrace at La Terrasse by Albane at the JW Marriott. Staying true to its heritage, this special edition features a folding premium acetate pilot frame, Barberini mineral glass lenses, and four bold colorways. A discreet plaque inside the temple bears the year '1968,' honoring McQueen's role in The Thomas Crown Affair. The latest edition preserves Persol's signature elements: a folding pilot frame crafted in premium acetate, Barberini mineral glass lenses, four colorways, and on the inner temple of the limited editions, a discreet plaque bearing the year '1968.' Persol The new minamalist collector's box contains a foldable leather case and a matching leather cord with its own pouch—embossed with the Steve McQueen logo, alongside a vintage-style envelope filled with rare archival treasures honoring the actor's legacy. Over the decades, Persol has graced the faces of cinema royalty including Greta Garbo, Daniel Craig (Casino Royale), George Clooney (Ocean's Thirteen), and Tom Cruise. These days, new-generation icons like James Franco and Australian actor Jacob Elordi — a self-declared McQueen fan — show Persol's staying power. Some accessories fade. Some stay in fashion.
