Hailey Bieber taps Harris Dickinson for newest Rhode campaign, and fans can't get enough of it
Hailey Bieber's billion-dollar beauty brand Rhode, just made a very interesting marketing move. In a surprise twist that no one saw coming but now feels inevitable, actor Harris Dickinson was recently cast in the brand campaign for the brand's latest hydration mist. Internet heartthrob and breakout star of the sultry indie hit Babygirl, Dickinson is known for his magnetic screen presence and quiet intensity and as the acclaimed actor steps into the world of skincare, Bieber opens up about why she chose him. A post shared by rhode skin (@rhode) "I watched [Babygirl] and I thought it was so great. I knew for this campaign that I really, really wanted to use a male face. I'm just really a fan of his work, and I just felt like there could be really good synergy between him and Rhode. I think that was definitely showcased in this campaign,' said Bieber in an interview. 'I didn't want anything to feel too on the nose with Babygirl. I never want to make anything feel gimmicky, and the undertone of it all is there. I wanted it to feel chic and sporty,' she added. As soon as the campaign dropped, the internet lit up with reactions that were downright thirsty. 'He was so good in Babygirl so I'm not mad at this,' wrote one user, echoing the sentiment of many. Another chimed in, 'He's hot… the end lmao.' Over on X , it was chaos in the best way: 'This girl really knows how to lure the market.' One more said, 'Hailey, this was a power move.' Clearly, Rhode's decision to lean into Dickinson's rising sex appeal without turning it into a spectacle hit the sweet spot. Dickinson's star power has been steadily rising since his breakout in Beach Rats (2017), followed by bigger roles in The King's Man and the Palme d'Or-winning Triangle of Sadness. With Babygirl bringing him even more critical acclaim — and placing him alongside Nicole Kidman — he's now gaining fashion clout, too, having worked with the likes of Loewe and Dior.

The Leopard, Netflix review: an unashamedly glossy take on a classic novel
I haven't read Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's 1958 Italian novel Il Gattopardo (The Leopard), nor have I seen Luchino Visconti's Palme d'Or-winning film, starring Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale. Obviously, that makes me a startling dunce, but I also suspect this may be the ideal position from which to approach Netflix's much-hoopla'd new TV adaptation. In the run-up to its launch, The Leopard has already garnered the sort of opprobrium reserved for much-loved great books that a haughty literati think can only be cheapened by thicko television. This, it hardly needs to be said, is almost always the opprobrium of the haven't-actually-watched-it. Having actually watched The Leopard, the first thing to be said about it is that in television, money talks. Netflix is reported to have spent around £40 million on making 19th-century Sicily look TripAdvisor-ready, and, my, does it show. You barely need to get involved in the political stirrings of Garibaldi's nascent revolution and its effect on the legacy and stability of the Prince of Salina and his family, to enjoy the backdrops. I try to steer clear of epithets involving the words sumptuous or lavish, but The Leopard is just ludicrously luxe. You can imagine it being played simultaneously on every screen in Currys as they show off the stunningly deep blacks in the latest range of Samsung OLEDs. That, of course, is not enough. You need more than fancy wallpaper to get you through six hours of drama, and in this regard The Leopard will divide. It is deliberately – sometimes infuriatingly – old school in its story-telling, happy to rinse out the melodrama where required like a chocolate box Western. The story is a familiar one from 19 th century Europe: the old regime of hereditary landowners living out the last vestiges of feudalism in obstinate luxury must face up to the industrial future. In the case of Il Gattopardo, that means the transfer of power in sunny Sicily from the old Bourbon aristocracy to the new Kingdom of Italy. Heretics, apostates and cutthroats – aka the unscrupulous liberal bourgeoisie – are coming to overthrow the conservative order. You don't have to be a geopolitical buff to note the parallels with current events, but to its credit The Leopard never lectures. Instead, the balance for director Tom Shankland (The Serpent) to strike is one between landscape and character. This is unashamedly a saga of the North and South or indeed the Foryste school. It is gunning for big scenes played against big backdrops amongst big families. At times it overreaches, with just too much ominous music presaging harsh times, too many candles and too much hat doffing, too many bells (literally) tolling. Visuals so sumptuous they make Downton Abbey look like Alan Clarke are wonderful, but they also contribute to a sense of TV trying to justify its budget. Relentless epic-ness can be like eating too many desserts. Against this, The Leopard finds subtlety in performance. Italy's Kim Rossi Stuart (Romanzo Criminale) takes the lead as the Prince of Salina and he has plainly been watching The Sopranos, because his 'principe' is a classic modern, male TV anti-hero. Caught between love for his nephew Tancredi – who is siding against the family with the revolution – and the need to push back against what he knows is the inevitable march of history, the prince's battle, which is the crux of the series, is mostly with himself. It is this that makes The Leopard a modern tale, in spite of all its lavish, sumptuous classical framing.

Oscars 2025: Anora wins best picture
Beyond Pretty Woman: New film Anora challenges sex work stereotypes Duration 2:05 Sean Baker's Palme d'Or-winning film Anora, starring Mikey Madison, avoids Hollywood cliches about sex work in favour of an authentic and sympathetic look at that world, and the real risks sex workers face, says CBC's Eli Glasner. The latest Anora, which follows the life of a sex worker who falls for the son of a Russian billionaire, swept nearly all of its categories. Adrien Brody won best actor for his role in The Brutalist. Zoe Saldaña and Kieran Culkin took top acting honours for supporting performances. Wicked, Emilia Pérez and Dune: Part Two picked up multiple wins. Missed the show? Catch up below. Updates March 3 16 minutes ago Anora blows the competitors out of the water Jackson Weaver Five total wins, and four straight to director Sean Baker, tying Walt Disney's record. Anora now bears the honour of being among the lowest-grossing best picture winners ever. Adjusted for inflation, it's at least above the pandemic hampered, digitally-released CODA — though the film's comparative shoestring budget against a $38-million worldwide box office take still makes Anora director Sean Baker's biggest hit. 21 minutes ago Anora's out in front Jackson Weaver If you're the awards-watcher type, this cements SAG as a pretty predictable bet: with Madison's win tonight, the SAGs have given their best actress award to the eventual Academy winner for 16 of the past 20 years. It also means A nora pulls clearly into the lead for the night. Many had the best actress category going to Moore for her role in The Substance, after her impassioned acceptance speech at the Golden Globes. Now, Anora has four trophies — and could still pull in one more. 22 minutes ago The sound of surprise Eli Glasner Imagine hundreds of journalists saying 'WOW!' and 'OOOF!' at the same time. That was the sound backstage when Madison won the best actress award, which many thought would go to Demi Moore for her work in The Substance, and perhaps for her career in general. 26 minutes ago Best actress: Mikey Madison Rhianna Schmunk Madison, 25, wins one of the night's top honours for her breakout performance as a sex worker romantically involved with the son of a Russian oligarch in Anora. Find our full list of winners here. 28 minutes ago There you have it Jackson Weaver Baker pulled in his third win of the night, continuing the run we've been eyeing since the ceremonies opened. Having won best original screenplay and best editing already, Baker is holding the entire film on his back in terms of wins right now. It marks a gilded comeback story for Anora. After winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes, it somewhat faded from the awards conversation as Emilia Pérez pulled ahead. In his triumphant speech, Baker made an impassioned plea for the future of films on the big screen — potentially a subtle jab at Netflix and the general rise of streaming platforms. This also really makes the best picture category seem more and more certain — if Anora wins it, Baker will tie that Walt Disney record of winning four personal Oscars in the same night. 41 minutes ago Jackson Weaver After securing the Golden Globe about a month ago, Brody has been the steady frontrunner — that is, until Chalamet snagged the SAG a couple days ago. It also brings The Brutalist up to three wins for the night — so far, the leader.
