Jenna Ortega Wears Ashi Studio to the Season 2 Premiere of 'Wednesday'
LONDON, ENGLAND – JULY 30: Jenna Ortega at the Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 Global Premiere at Central Hall, Westminster on July 30, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Neil Mockford/FilmMagic) On Wednesday, July 30, Jenna Ortega was a vision of ethereal glamour at the Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 red carpet premiere in London. Ahead of its release, the leading lady stepped out in a snakeskin look by Ashi Studio — with bleached brows to match. Ortega is esteemed for her performance in the comedy series, which originally debuted in 2022. Her mastery of Wednesday Addams' off-putting, deadpan disposition is utterly spot-on, and her commitment to the character has carried over into her style choices; this dress is a mature, high-fashion approach to the quirky gothic genre. And if Wednesday were to switch up her dependable color palette and explore couture, we'd expect it to look a little something like this.

(Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage) Ortega stepped out onto the carpet in a body-hugging look from Ashi Studios, featuring a high-neck silhouette that billowed out around the hips in a structured, peplum waistline. The top half of the ensemble was complemented by a floor-length skirt flowing from beneath it, draped loosely from the thighs down. The gown's hemline was jaggedly cut, distressed along the edges, yet carefully crafted with a strong execution of a sultry aesthetic. And its lace-up detailing on the backside was an impeccable touch that gave the look a costume-like feel, styled by Enrique Melendez.

This piece from his Fall 2025 Couture collection gives the impression of a snake shedding its skin — arguably, a nod to the ominous, moody aura that surrounds Ortega's character in the series.

(Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage) The actress traded Wednesday's signature pigtail braids for a more sophisticated hairstyle: a face-framing, low pony with weaving at the nape. Perhaps a quiet reference to the character's regular 'do, this take felt slightly more elevated, bringing the serpentine aesthetic full circle. A Fashionable Finale Ortega looked fashionably reptilian as the snakeskin textures clung to her in all the right spots, as if she had just emerged from the water. Every beauty detail that accompanied this look — from the blonde brows down to the blood red lip — felt intentional. And if you ask us, in another life, this is Wednesday's perfect mid-20s outfit inspo for a night out! The second season of The Addams Family spin-off will be available to stream on Netflix on September 3.

Photo / Samir Hussein, WireImage Prince Harry and Meghan are poised to sign a new deal with Netflix after the end of their previous multi-year, multimillion-dollar contract. It has been widely reported this week that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's five-year agreement with the streaming service, signed in 2020, will expire in the next few months. However, according to the celebrity gossip site Page Six, they're now set to sign a new 'first-look' contract with Netflix, similar to the type Barack and Michelle Obama have with the company. A 'first-look' deal generally means there is an agreement by which Netflix is granted exclusive rights to preview and potentially buy a project before it is offered elsewhere. A source said there were more TV projects 'coming soon with both the duke and duchess', while the second season of Meghan's show, With Love, Meghan, is still on track to be released in September.

Neil Young's Album Hits A New Peak Thanks To One Big Performance
Neil Young's Greatest Hits returns to the Official Album Downloads chart at a new peak at No. 27, ... More following his Glastonbury set with the Chrome Hearts. GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 28: Neil Young during day four of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 28, 2025 in Glastonbury, England. Established by Michael Eavis in 1970, Glastonbury has grown into the UK's largest music festival, drawing over 200,000 fans to enjoy performances across more than 100 stages. In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover. (Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage) Neil Young, along with his new band the Chrome Hearts, helped headline the Glastonbury Festival this year, which took place in the final days of June in Glastonbury, England. Young stands out from many of the other headliners, as he's neither nearly as young nor as trendy – and yet he still managed to draw a massive crowd. The legendary rocker and his backing group performed on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night on the same day as powerhouses like Lewis Capaldi, The 1975, Noah Kahan, and Olivia Rodrigo. Thanks to his coveted slot, Young bounds up the charts in the United Kingdom, as such a coveted slot can lead to a huge uptick in consumption. Neil Young's Greatest Hits Makes a Chart Comeback Young's compilation Greatest Hits is back and bigger than ever as fans across the U.K. are reminded of how much they love his many timeless tunes. The singles-packed project reappears on the Official Album Downloads chart this week at No. 27. The fact that it lands on that specific ranking speaks to the fact that Glastonbury attendees — and those following along online — rushed to platforms like iTunes to revisit his catalog around the time of his performance. A New Peak for a Familiar Favorite As Greatest Hits finds its way back to the Official Album Downloads chart, it reaches a never-before-seen high point. This turn marks its first inside the top 40 on the tally, as it previously peaked at No. 42. The compilation hasn't appeared on the list since February 2022, and it originally debuted just below the top 40 region in the summer of 2009. 'Harvest Moon' Returns to the Singles Ranking As Young returns to the album downloads chart, he also scores a win once more on the Official Singles Downloads list. On that ranking, 'Harvest Moon' appears for only the second time ever, as it breaks back in at No. 96. Focus Shifts From New Album to Nostalgic Favorites Shortly before heading to Glastonbury, Young released Talking to the Trees, his first full-length collection with the Chrome Hearts. Now, three weeks into its run on the U.K. rankings, the set slips more than 10 spaces on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, as it seems fans are currently more focused on revisiting Greatest Hits than diving into brand new material.

Lorde Hits No. 1 For The First Time In Her Career
Lorde's Virgin debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Vinyl Albums chart, earning the singer-songwriter her ... More first leader on that list as it also leads several other tallies. GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 27: Lorde performs on the Woodsies Stage during day three of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 27, 2025 in Glastonbury, England. Established by Michael Eavis in 1970, Glastonbury has grown into the UK's largest music festival, drawing over 200,000 fans to enjoy performances across more than 100 stages. In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover. (Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage) Lorde has been a global superstar for well over a decade now. Her breakout single, "Royals," which remains one of the most successful debut songs of all time, dropped in June 2013. Since then, the singer-songwriter has continued to reign as one of the most critically-acclaimed voices in the alternative space. But even after so much time, there's still room for the Grammy winner to grow, as evidenced by her latest full-length, Virgin. Virgin Arrives as a Chart-Topper Lorde's new full-length arrives on the Billboard charts this week, and it's an immediate top 10 on every tally on which it appears. Virgin opens inside the highest tier on half a dozen rankings, and leads four of them. The singer even manages to earn her first No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, which ranks the bestselling titles on wax across the United States. Lorde has now earned four wins on the Vinyl Albums tally, and all of her bestselling titles have performed incredibly well —but until now, none of them had led the charge. All of Lorde's Projects Hit the Top Five All of Lorde's charting projects have reached the top five on the Vinyl ALbums tally. Solar Power, her most recent full-length before Virgin, stood out as her highest-rising — until this week. That title peaked at No. 2, while Melodrama and Pure Heroine stalled at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. Lorde's First Win on the Top Streaming Albums Chart Virgin also brings Lorde to the Top Streaming Albums ranking for the very first time. Billboard introduced the list after the musician released Solar Power, so the tally has been waiting for her to drop new music. Virgin earns its lowest debut on that list, as it comes in at No. 6. Lorde Dominates on Multiple Rankings Virgin leads not just the Vinyl Albums list, but also the Top Album Sales, Top Rock & Alternative Albums, and Top Alternative Albums charts. She scores her second champion on the ranking of the bestselling full-lengths and the Top Rock & Alternative Albums rosters. Four of her projects have hit No. 1 on the Top Alternative Albums roster. Virgin just misses out on giving Lorde another leader on the Billboard 200, where it opens at No. 2 with a little more than 71,000 units shifted, according to Luminate.

Richard Ashcroft responds after fan filmed on Shazam during Bitter Sweet Symphony
Richard Ashcroft responds after fan filmed on Shazam during Bitter Sweet Symphony Many were in disbelief that someone didn't know the famous British anthem Richard Ashcroft has been supporting Oasis at their two Cardiff gigs (Image: Samir Hussein/WireImage ) Richard Ashcroft has responded after a fan was spotted using the app Shazam to identify Bitter Sweet Symphony as he performed the iconic anthem whilst supporting Oasis at the Principality Stadium on Friday night. Shazam is a mobile phone app that identifies music by analysing a short sample of audio. The fan can be seen using the app as Richard Ashcroft performed the iconic 1997 The Verve classic, leaving many fans in complete disbelief on social media. One person described it as "very embarrassing", and another suggested the fan "should have been escorted off the premises." But others saw it from a different perspective, with one person writing: "Your music journey is yours alone, and that's what makes it special." Another added: "Not everyone is 50 years old." A third wrote: "The biggest t***** is the person filming someone else's phone when they know they could be watching Bitter Sweet Symphony." Content cannot be displayed without consent Ashcroft took a far more welcoming approach while thanking fans on his Instagram page. He wrote: "Day two. Thanks to everyone who came down and gave such beautiful support for my set. "If you don't know it Shazam it, all new fans welcome! "Love to Liam Gallagher for Cast No Shadow, what a tune! We move on Manchester. Are you ready? Music is power. RA." Content cannot be displayed without consent Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly. Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets. Viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
