Vanessa Feltz's wedding guest-ready floral maxi dress is now 50% off as she scoops reality TV award
Vanessa Feltz looked stunning in River Island's floral maxi dress ahead of winning an award at the National Reality Television Awards, and we found it for half price This year's National Reality Television Awards have kicked off, and one of the first winners of the night was Vanessa Feltz, who picked up the award for Best Talk Show for her show Vanessa. Although she was seen celebrating in a stunning glittering gown at the awards ceremony, there's another of Vanessa's dresses that have caught our eye recently, as she hosted her chat show in a stunning floral maxi dress. Vanessa's exact dress hails from high street fave River Island, and although it's currently sold out online (except for a size 10 in the petite length version), we did manage to track it down in all sizes… and for half the price. Hidden away on Secret Sales, the River Island Purple Floral Ruffle Maxi Dress has been slashed from £85 to £42.50, and unlike everywhere else, it's still available in all sizes from a 6 to an 18. The dress was a limited edition design, so it's no surprise that it's sold out already. However if you're quick to head over to Secret Sales, you'll still be able to grab yourself a bargain. Vanessa's floral maxi dress would make the perfect choice if you're a guest at an upcoming summer wedding and can't quite decide what to wear. It has a high-low style hemline, with a mini length that's carefully hidden by multiple trailing ruffles to keep it modest and appropriate for more formal settings. The pink and purple print is perfect for bringing that summery vibe, and it has a sleeveless design that'll keep you cool and comfortable, Meanwhile the higher neckline means there's not too much skin on show if you prefer to stay a little covered up. The shift-style silhouette of the River Island Maxi Dress is also perfect for keeping you comfortable without it feeling too clingy, with chiffon-style material that not only keeps you cool in the heat, but gives you plenty of movement. If you're looking for a more streamlined silhouette, Topshop's Ruffle Cami Slip Maxi Dress In Pink Based Floral (£72) has a more figure-hugging slip dress shape, but keeps some ruffle details similar to Vanessa's River Island dress. The ruffles have been carefully placed to create a flattering illusion of curves, with a subtle floral print for that summer feeling. You can streamline your look even more with Mango's Floral Dress With Ruffle Detail, which is also on sale down from £89.99 to £49.99. It features a softer watercolour floral print, with a ribbon detail around the waist and fluttery ruffles on the shoulders. However if you've been inspired by Vanessa's dress, you can nab yourself the River Island Purple Floral Ruffle Maxi Dress at Secret Sales now.

Vanessa Kirby embraces Sue Storm's ‘Nerd' Side: 'I am dying to play Malice in Fantastic Four'
Vanessa Kirby is a 'nerd' who loves Sue Storm. The 37-year-old actress, who portrays Sue in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has acknowledged that she is totally in love with the character. "I'm such a Sue nerd," said Vanessa, who co-stars with Pedro Pascal , Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn in the upcoming Marvel film. Speaking to Variety, she reflected on how the character's journey felt symbolic to her. The transition from being called Invisible Girl to becoming Invisible Woman after confronting her darker side as Malice stood out as especially meaningful. She found the evolution from girlhood to womanhood—marked by facing one's inner struggles—deeply powerful. She also expressed interest in possibly exploring the Malice arc herself in the future. Vanessa has shown a strong interest in exploring Sue Storm's darker side, particularly the Malice incarnation. She finds the character's complex backstory deeply compelling—losing her mother in a car crash, watching her father spiral into alcoholism and eventually land in prison for murder before dying. As a result, Sue had to step into a parental role for her younger brother Johnny, with both siblings forced to navigate life as orphans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Shop Sale Libas Undo This emotionally rich background is what draws Vanessa to portraying the Malice arc. Vanessa admires Sue Storm's decision to follow a path rooted in positivity and emotional strength. Rather than becoming hardened by her past, Sue chose to remain open-hearted and compassionate. Vanessa sees Sue's involvement in the Future Foundation not as a grand political statement, but as a natural extension of who she is at her core—a nurturing and resilient figure. Vanessa has previously shared that she's drawn to roles that challenge her. She finds excitement in projects that push her beyond her comfort zone. For her, the more uncertain a role feels at first glance, the more it signals that it's worth taking on. If a character feels too easy or predictable, she believes it lacks the thrill and growth that come with true creative challenges. Vanessa has found success both on stage and on screen, and she's previously reflected on how her passion for acting began with the theater. Growing up in a household where her parents, especially her father, had a deep love for Shakespeare and stage plays, she was surrounded by stories that sparked her imagination. Though she wasn't sure how to pursue acting professionally at first, her early exposure to theater helped her realize the power of storytelling. She described performing on stage as a shared experience with the audience—one that made her feel deeply connected and truly alive.

Church 'filled with grief' in service for mum and children killed in shooting
A service for a mum and her two children murdered in County Fermanagh last week has heard their lives were 'taken in an unspeakable way' that has shaken the country 'to its core' Crowds of mourners lined the streets of a Northern Irish village today as they tearfully bid farewell to a mum and her two children who died in an "unspeakable" tragedy that has shaken the community "to its core." Vanessa Whyte, 45, and her children James Rutledge, 14, and Sara Rutledge, 13, died in a firearms incident at a property in Drummeer Road, Maguiresbridge, on July 30. On Monday, a person suspected of shooting the family, Ian Rutledge, 43, had also died in what the police suspect was a triple murder suicide. The agricultural contractor is understood to be the only suspect in the shooting of his family. Large crowds, including from local GAA clubs, lined the streets outside St Mary's Church on Wednesday morning for a Service of Removal ahead of their funeral in Co Clare on Saturday. Northern Ireland's First Minister, Michelle O'Neill, attended the service, along with former first minister Baroness Arlene Foster, Environment Minister Andrew Muir and Sinn Fein MP Pat Cullen. The three coffins arrived shortly after 11am and were brought to the front of the church as the hymn Abide By Me was sung. Father Raymond Donnelly, who led the service, said people had gathered in a church "filled with grief". The deaths of Vanessa, James and Sara left a "heaviness in the air" he added, before offering prayers, love and "presence" for the grieving families in a moving homily. Father Donnelly said: "There is a heaviness in the air - a silence within our hearts - that speaks volumes." The tragedy we have endured has shaken this community, and our country, to its core. We are left shocked, grieving, heartbroken, searching for meaning: grappling with questions too deep for words. "The loss of a Vanessa and her two beautiful children, James and Sara - lives taken in such an unspeakable way - is more than any heart should bear. A woman full of kindness and warmth, a friend to so many here. And her children, so young, so vibrant, so full of promise. Their laughter rang through school corridors, through playing fields, especially on the GAA pitch, where they thrived with passion and joy. That zest for life, their infectious energy, their open smiles." The three wooden coffins were then carried side by side along the main road in the village as hundreds followed and many more lined the street. The bodies will be taken to Barefield in Co Clare, where Ms Whyte was originally from, ahead of their funeral Mass on Saturday. The three will then be buried together in Templemaley Cemetery.

‘Broken hearts and many tears': Poignant service for mum and children killed in Fermanagh shooting
Vanessa Whyte (45), her son James Rutledge (14) and daughter Sara Rutledge (13) were shot in their home on Drummeer Road, Maguiresbridge, last Wednesday. The man suspected of killing them before turning the gun on himself, 43-year-old Ian Rutledge, died in hospital on Monday. Prayers will be said at St Mary's Church this morning before the remains of the mum and her teenage children are taken to Co Clare where a funeral Mass will be held on Saturday. First Minister Michelle O'Neill is among those attending the service for removal which began at 11am with the singing of hymns including Abide With Me and a reading from the Old Testament book of Lamentations. The homily will be delivered by Father Kevin Donnelly who acknowledged the church is 'filled with grief'. A death notice stated 'it is with broken hearts and many tears' that the family announce the tragic passing 'of our beloved Vanessa and her adored children'. 'Cherished and much-loved Vanessa, James and Sara will forever be in the hearts of their heartbroken family, remembered fondly by a devoted mother and loving grandmother Mary Whyte, sisters and brothers (aunts & uncles) Geraldine, Anita, Steve, Regina & Ivor and by their respective partners Michael, Bernie, Ciara and Anita's husband James," it adds. 'Sadly missed by all their heartbroken cousins Deirbhíle, Erin, James, Danielle, Aishling, Jack and Harry Joe. "They will be greatly missed by the extended Whyte family, friends, work colleagues and the wider GAA communities in both Fermanagh and Clare.' Vanessa is pre-deceased by her father and the children's grandfather Joe Whyte and her infant sister. Following the shootings, police said a suspected triple murder and attempted suicide was one line of inquiry detectives were pursuing. The Belfast Telegraph understands a legally held weapon was used in the shooting. The police investigation is ongoing, despite the death of the only suspect. Ms Whyte (45) and her daughter Sara Rutledge (13) died from gunshot wounds at their home on Drummeer Road, Maguiresbridge, last Wednesday, while 14-year-old James died from his injuries in hospital the following day. The only suspect in the case, Ian Rutledge, died from his injuries in hospital on Monday. This newspaper also understands the 999 emergency call was made from the home on July 23 at around 8am from Sara's phone before first responders arrived at the scene which police described as 'harrowing'. Rutledge was airlifted to the Royal Victoria Hospital and was kept on life support until Monday. It's understood that one line of inquiry is that Rutledge left the home in Fermanagh he shared with Ms Whyte and their children the night before the shootings to retrieve a legally held weapon from a different location, with police keen to trace the movements of his silver Mercedes saloon car. Maguiresbridge vigil takes place as book of condolence opens at young shooting victims' former school PSNI Detective Chief Inspector Neil McGuinness has asked anyone who saw the vehicle being driven in the Clones Road area of Newtownbutler, or between Maguiresbridge and Newtownbutler, on the evening of Tuesday, July 22, to call detectives on 101. 'Anyone who was travelling in the area and who may have captured dash-cam footage which could assist, please get in touch,' he added. Vanessa, James and Sara will repose together in The Church of The Immaculate Conception in Barefield from 3pm to 7pm on Friday. Private removal will take place on Saturday morning with the funeral cortege arriving for Requiem Mass at 12pm before the family is laid to rest in Templemaley Cemetery. Mourners have been asked to wear bright and cheerful colours in celebration of their lives. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to Women's Aid.

Watch ‘The Fantastic Four' Make Pizza (Without Superpowers)
Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn stopped by The New York Times Kitchen Studio for a chat. From left, Pedro Pascal, Eben Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn and Vanessa Kirby of 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps.' Taylor Miller for The New York Times Published July 29, 2025 Updated July 29, 2025 Welcome to the Pizza Interview, a new series from New York Times Cooking where the Q&A has a catch: Our guests have to make pizza. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn are superheroes charged with saving a retro-futuristic Earth from the space god Galactus in 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps.' Beyond the action, the story explores the deep bonds and challenges faced by Marvel's first family, and kicks off a new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Watch the full video below (or on YouTube) and read ahead for excerpts and some outtakes, which have been edited and condensed. Vanessa Kirby: Yes. Once or twice. Pedro Pascal: I've observed. Joseph Quinn: I've observed. Ebon Moss-Bachrach: I've made a pizza or two. Pascal: That's why he's my teammate. Moss-Bachrach: Yeah, I love to cook. Pascal: I like it, but I don't know how. Kirby: Today's going to change it all, babe. Moss-Bachrach: You're going to be great. Moss-Bachrach: My favorite pizza? A toss up between F&F in Carroll Gardens and Lucali. Pascal: There was a place I was addicted to in Bogotá, Colombia, called Julia's. And it was — I'm telling you — one of the best pizzas in the world. Quinn: A place called Spizza in London Bridge, which is delicious. Kirby: Yeah. London as well for me. I like Well Street Pizza. Do you know Well Street? Quinn: I've never been there. What's the one in Chiswick? There's a famous one in Chiswick. Kirby: I don't know Chiswick. Let's try it. Quinn: Let's go. We'll go. We'll be home soon. Pascal: Gjelina has a good pizza, too, in Abbot Kinney. Pascal: I like to keep it simple. I like a spicy sausage. A fellow castmate of ours put a little honey on the pizza, and that worked out really good. Quinn: Good-quality mozzarella, black olive, a little bit of red onion, basil maybe. Nothing more than that. Simple. Moss-Bachrach: Vanessa? Broccoli? Cauliflower crust? Kirby: Cauliflower crust doesn't work for me. Mine is rocket, maybe Parmesan, mushrooms, maybe some peppers or sun-dried tomatoes. Moss-Bachrach: I made a chili one day that I brought that Pedro really liked. I thought I put too much salt in it, but for him, that was perfect. I made a borscht that I gave to Joe when he was feeling a little run down. Pascal: I gotta tell you, he's a little light on the salt. Pascal: Vanessa would be steamed broccoli. Quinn: Vanessa's far more glamorous than steamed broccoli. Moss-Bachrach: Vanessa would be like a Pavlova. Kirby: [Joe's] something Mexican. Something with a real punch. Pascal: If I've ever met Mexican food in my life, I gotta say it's Mr. Joseph Quinn. Quinn: Bangers and mash with a bit of mustard. Kirby: There we go! Mustard, that's what I was looking for. Moss-Bachrach: Vanessa is most likely to spill something. Pascal: She's most likely to spill matcha. Quinn: I think we're all pretty good with secrets. Kirby: I think we've been trained well. Pascal: I've gotten away with quite a bit so far. Pascal: I had a birthday recently, a big birthday bash, and everybody was invited. Quinn: And what did you serve? Kirby: Martinis. Pascal: I served a good time. I served some house. Beats. Some snacks. Kirby: Good lighting. Pascal: Food and drinks and some dancing. Lots and lots of dancing. Follow New York Times Cooking on Instagram , Facebook , YouTube , TikTok and Pinterest .
