Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough. And that's not all, as these pants also feature a 'flattering slim fit that smoothes effortlessly over your figure.'

Not actor or model: Meet woman who created history for India 59 years ago, she won.., her name is...
Not actor or model: Meet woman who created history for India 59 years ago, she won.., her name is... In the world of beauty pageants, it is always the glamour and beauty that take the center stage. But nearly six decades ago, there was a woman who represented India on a global stage at a beauty pageant, but unlike other contestants, she wasn't an actor or a model; rather, she was a doctor who won the title of Miss world and her victory stood out as a moment of pride, not just for her but the entire nation. The person we are talking about is none other than Dr. Reita Faria. Being the first Indian and Asian woman to win the title of Miss India in 1966. She wasn't somebody who was intrigued by the world of glamour; rather, she was more academically inclined and was a professional doctor. She completed her medical studies from Grant College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals in Mumbai. After completing her studies, she even pursued modelling for a year, but eventually she stayed on her goal of becoming a doctor. Being away from the world of the limelight, she didn't plan the enter this industry; rather, it was her friends who encouraged her to participate as a joke. Rita didn't have any designer sources; therefore, she borrowed clothes from her friends to enter the pageant. Without any training, she went on to participate and owned the global stage by winning the title of Miss World. Rita proved that the brain always outshines beauty. What stood out in her journey was her reply in the final round. Rita was asked why she wanted to become a doctor, to which she confidently replied, 'There is a huge need for gynecologists in India. After winning the crown, she stayed on her purpose and got back to pursuing medicine. Later, in 1991 she tied the knot with endocrinologist Dr. David Powellnd and moved to Dublin, Ireland, where she continued her medical career and raised two daughters. Dr. Reita Faria has defied stereotypes and redefined what it means to be a beauty queen. Her story proves that intellect and compassion are the true crowns one can wear with pride.

Why residents in a Texas city will receive earlier hurricane evacuation notices this year
GALVESTON, Texas – As the Atlantic basin hurricane season begins, Galveston officials are alerting residents to a key change they may notice if a tropical cyclone threatens the region. Instead of issuing evacuation orders 36 hours before the arrival of damaging winds and flooding, authorities now plan to extend that window to 60 hours in advance of a hurricane's projected impacts. The change, while not permanent, is being instituted due to an extensive construction project along the region's primary evacuation route - Interstate 45. According to the city's emergency management, the enhanced timeline is designed to ensure a more efficient evacuation process, given the potential for delays along the interstate. The region's main thoroughfare is undergoing a multi-billion-dollar enhancement that aims to not only widen the interstate and make it more flood-resistant. Though the roadway remains open, Emergency Management Coordinator Byron Frankland is concerned that a stalled vehicle or accident during a mass evacuation could bring traffic to a near standstill, potentially adding hours to the process of moving tens of thousands of people inland. Know Your Zone: Texas Hurricane Evacuation Zones Evacuations from the threat of a direct strike of a hurricane are rare, with locals only remembering a handful of times that notices have been issued. A significant threat to the Southeast Texas coastline means not only do the 52,000 permanent residents of Galveston Island have to leave, but also millions of others in the country's second-most populous state. Large hurricanes such as Rita, Ike and Harvey forced millions of Texans to seek higher ground, resulting in hours of backups and delays along highways – a scene that Frankland wants to try to avoid with the 60-hour notice. Hurricane Survey Highlights Surprising Results For Those In Impact Zones To assist vulnerable populations, Texas offers the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry, a free program that allows residents who may require extra help during a disaster to register in advance. While enrollment in the STEAR program does not guarantee services during an emergency, it gives planners an idea of the needs for specialized resources, such as wheelchair-accessible buses and medical transports. Residents can sign up for the STEAR program online or by dialing 211 and officials encourage those with needs to do so now, before a storm hits. Frankland anticipates the expanded 60-hour evacuation window will remain in effect through at least 2026, when the Interstate 45 upgrades are expected to reach a point where the route can better handle a mass article source: Why residents in a Texas city will receive earlier hurricane evacuation notices this year

Interior Design Masters fans fume after favourite loses to 'ugly' house in final
Interior Design Masters just cranked up the heat tonight in a shock final, as underdog John Cooper won over Rita Millat, leaving some fans fuming. The popular series sees comedian Alan Carr and interiors guru Michelle Ogundehin pit a group of designers against one another in various challenges over seven weeks. Tasked with transforming two holiday cottages in the village of Portmeirion in Wales for tonight's final, DT teacher John, 46, went for a Mediterranean-inspired finish, while visual merchandiser Rita, 42, opted for a cosy pastel-coloured vibe. For background: while Rita won the first challenge in the series, John was left in the bottom cohort on the sofa on four occasions. Some viewers weren't happy, as they felt Rita had been more consistent throughout the competition and it was sheer luck John pulled it out the bag at the last minute. 'Feel like I've just watched a terrible episode of changing rooms! That was awful – Rita had an amazing eye for design and this program ruined it. Rita if you're listening don't change who you are, you're amazing!' commented @cookiesam50 on X. 'I think that John was very lucky to be in the final but I preferred his house tonight. Rita's kitchen was underwhelming and that stairway was horrendous,' reasoned @BurghillGirl. However, @alemonsqueeze raged: 'My goodness, Rita was robbed! John has been at the bottom 4 times, his transformation was ugly and tasteless.' @Claret40 said: 'Gutted Rita didn't win Interior Design Masters. She was consistently head & shoulders above everyone else week after week. I wish her well in the future.' Others were very much team John though, as @TheSilverZebra said: 'Congratulations to John, the colours & design were spot on. That pop of blue throughout really brought it together, another great series.' @Alligatoruk1975 said: 'Yay John!!! Well deserved win on #InteriorDesignMasters. His confidence and style has grown throughout the series. His final room was very stylish and classy.' At one point throughout the series, Rita slightly lost her confidence, but brought it back when she injected her personality into her designs again. Meanwhile, John has been praised for his attention to detail, with time management an issue throughout the contest. In the seven weeks, contestants have transformed everything from hostel bunkrooms to hospitality boxes in the hope of going home with a major homeware range contract with John Lewis, which (the aptly named) John bagged tonight. Last year, host Alan Carr admitted on The Rest is Entertainment podcast that sometimes clients aren't happy with the show's design makeovers. 'Sometimes the people who own the shop or hairdressers or the hotel room really hate what they've done,' Alan said. 'What we do is we go back and paint it back to how it originally was so no one is offended.' View More » Interior Design Masters is streaming on BBC iPlayer. Got a story?

Carrie Coon and Lily James Join Bella Ramsey in Guy Nattiv's Cult Thriller ‘Harmonia' for Bleecker Street
Carrie Coon has found her next project post-'The White Lotus.' The acclaimed actress, who also recently starred in 'His Three Daughters' and soon returns for 'The Gilded Age' Season 3, has joined Guy Nattiv's cult thriller 'Harmonia' alongside Lily James. Nattiv reunites with Bleecker Street after the company distributed his 2023 film 'Golda.' Bleecker Street acquired the U.S. rights to 'Harmonia' and plans to release the film in theaters nationwide in 2026. More from IndieWire Bob Odenkirk Battles Mob Boss Sharon Stone During a Summer Vacation from Hell in Action Sequel 'Nobody 2' Trailer Rooney and Kate Mara Are Codependent Twins in Werner Herzog's 'Bucking Fastard' First Look As previously announced, 'Harmonia' will also star Bella Ramsey and 'My First Film' breakout star Odessa Young. Nattiv co-wrote 'Harmonia' with Noa Berman-Herzberg; the film is inspired by Nattiv's family's real-life story. Production is set to begin this summer. The official synopsis reads: 'Set in the 1980s, the film is based on Nattiv's grandmother's experience with an insidious cult. Rita (Coon), unraveling from past wounds, meets a radiant young spiritual leader (James) after a chance encounter. Following her into the all-female commune known as Harmonia, Rita leaves her life and family behind until her daughters, Ella (Ramsey), and Jo (Young), embark on a dangerous journey to rescue their mother. Once immersed in the commune, they find themselves inexorably drawn into the leader's labyrinthine web of pseudo-spiritual and psychological manipulation.' Nattiv, whose 2023 film 'Tatami' also recently received distribution from XYZ Films, said in a press statement, ''Harmonia' is born from the true story of my grandmother — a woman whose quiet strength and unspoken pain left an indelible mark on our family. For years, her story lived in the shadows, and now, at last, I'm giving it voice. I couldn't ask for more soulful collaborators than Carrie, Lily, Bella, and Odessa. Each of them brings a deep, intuitive grace to these layered characters, and their commitment to tell my story is tremendously moving.' Julia Lebedev and Eddie Vaisman produce the film for Sight Unseen, with Jaime Ray Newman and Nattiv producing for New Native Pictures, along with Oren Moverman. Leonid Lebedev will serve as an executive producer. Embankment Films represents international rights. CAA Media Finance and Range Select brokered the deal with Miranda King, Kent Sanderson, and Avy Eschenasy of Bleecker Street, while CAA and Range Media Partners represent the filmmakers. Coon is represented by United Talent Agency, Foundation Talent Management, and attorney Peikoff Mahan. James is repped by UTA, Tavistock Wood, Sloane Weber Offer Dern, and Narrative PR. Bleecker Street additionally recently acquired 'Bone Lake,' set to release in October, as well as the re-release of the 1984 cult classic 'This Is Spinal Tap' and its upcoming sequel, 'Spinal Tap II: The End Continues,' both directed by Rob Reiner. Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer reprise their iconic roles for the sequel, which also brings real-life rockers Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Questlove into the mix. Other 2025 Bleecker Street releases include 'Relay,' starring Riz Ahmed, 'Harmonia' star James, and Sam Worthington; the feature will be released on August 22 after its U.S. premiere at Tribeca this year. Max Walker-Silverman's 'Rebuilding,' starring Josh O'Connor, will also be in theaters after its Sundance premiere. Walker-Silverman previously helmed 'A Love Song' for Bleecker Street, too.
