Pamela Anderson Accessorizes Her Peplum Look With $20,000 of Vintage Diamonds and Emeralds
Her opulent earrings are literally straight out of the '70s. Pamela Anderson paired a popular 2010s trend with thousands of dollars worth of jewels at the Berlin premiere of her new film The Naked Gun. Anderson modeled a forest green Danielle Frankel set featuring a peplum bodice—a fad that's reappeared on red carpets in the 2020s thanks to stars like Emma Stone and Demi Moore—and a pleated skirt. The Baywatch actress's coord also came with a matching scarf and a floor-length train. As for Anderson's accessories, she piled on diamonds and emeralds from Saidian Vintage Jewels. Her 1970s-era drop earrings, priced at $20,000, include 6.72 carats of emeralds set in 14kt gold. She also added on a matching cocktail ring. Anderson wore her flippy bob in a subtle side-part, while her minimal makeup consisted of eyeliner, dewy blush, and lip gloss. The former Playboy Playmate revives one of her iconic hairstyles in The Naked Gun. Anderson co-stars alongside Liam Neeson in the 2025 reboot of the detective spoof franchise. Portraying his love interest Beth, Anderson goes back to her voluminous blonde roots, rocking retro-inspired waves reminiscent of her tousled '90s tresses. The Last Showgirl star debuted a chin-length bob at the Met Gala in May. In a recent interview with Who What Wear, she explained how her new 'do makes her feel like "a feminine warrior." "For the Met, I wanted something strong, brave, and committed—aligned with the night's theme of tailoring from head to toe," Anderson said. On the red carpet, she wore a structural Tory Burch gown covered in sequins, which paired well with her blunt cut. "I believe the world needs more of a feminine warrior presence, and this was my small contribution," she added. "It wasn't about looking 'good.' That's subjective anyway. [Tory Burch's] dress was the star. I was just blessed to wear it." Read the original article on InStyle Solve the daily Crossword

Beware the girlosphere
The word 'girlhood' is everywhere. But hearing it feels a bit like being flashed by a nudist. Nobody complains about Richard Linklater's film Boyhood; and 'childhood' is completely normal. As a young woman, I feel comfortable admitting I was recently a girl; but saying I had a 'girlhood' sounds bizarre. The feeling started to creep in around 2023, when the word came up as a fashion-industry descriptor – baby pink was legion and you couldn't move for fear of bumping into a hair bow. The online magazine Who What Wear collaged together some outfits by Miu Miu and Sandy Liang and used the headline 'How Celebrating Girlhood Quickly Became the Internet's Favourite Trend'; Dazed called the same thing 'Girlhood-core.' That year, director Sofia Coppola released a book of behind-the-scenes photos, bound in the same pastel pink, to her female fanbase. 'Bows, Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides, and the entirety of Lana Del Rey's discography are all things that were once shamed for enjoying, but have become core components of what makes up girlhood…' The look isn't new. But it found its creepy moniker as adults flocked to TikTok over the pandemic, bearing years of residual Internet detritus from the time when Tumblr held most of the alternative market share. For around fifteen years this exact amalgamation of whites and pinks, Nouvelle Vague hairstyles, Lana Del Rey videos and Sofia Coppola films has held currency wherever young women exist online. The nostalgic aesthetic is refined but has no single creator; its resounding motifs have been pinned, reblogged and retweeted until they became a universal online language. Welcome to the girlosphere, the least understood corner of the political internet. We are already familiar with journalistic fretting about the 'manosphere,' which shovels anti-feminist and white nationalist ideology from underground message boards onto increasingly visible parts of mainstream social media. Influencer Andrew Tate allegedly radicalises young men into misogyny, they say (though recent Ofcom research has found his reach might be overstated); Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson forms the more acceptable face of this loose digital grouping. More than any individual, the manosphere's standard bearer might be the green cartoon frog, Pepe, who presides over the digital basement of the alt-right. In May this year, Stephen Graham's smash Netflix show Adolescence took over the national conversation. The four-part series follows the Miller family after their 13-year-old son kills a female classmate. It's all about male rage, and online misogyny. 'Adolescence is such powerful TV,' the Guardian wrote, 'that it could save lives.' Now, secondary school pupils in England are to be taught about incel culture, and misogyny inherent to the so-called manosphere, according to statutory government guidance recently published by the Labour government. Less thought – almost none – is given to the opposite corner of the internet. We know all too well about the damage social media has wrought to a specific class of online adolescent women. Their rates of depression, anxiety, and self-injury surged in the early 2010s, as social-media platforms proliferated and expanded. Being in the 'girlosphere' puts you at personal risk. The current 'manosphere' panic revolves around a group of all-powerful influencers, who basically act like radio pundits; it seems frivolous by comparison to worry about how the internet looks. But young women do things online that men don't; they make moodboards, curate feeds, and live vicariously through 'aesthetic' images. In this case, the visuals themselves might be key. The girlosphere is broad enough to subsume any ideology without obvious cognitive dissonance. The beliefs that reach it become glamorous by association; it is aesthetically coherent but politically all over the place. It has no Andrew Tate; its only universal 'influencers' are enigmatic fictional characters, models and pop stars. Nine or ten years ago you could plausibly be a teenage Dworkinite and have all the same glittery pink images on your blog as a pro-porn liberal. 'Cottagecore', the vague grouping of unthreatening rural aesthetics that emerged in the dying days of Tumblr, accommodated both 'tradwives' and second-wave feminists. Today, pro-eating disorder images on X and Pinterest are made more palatable when they use suitably 'coquette' images of Slavic fashion models. Dangerous habits get embedded in the girlosphere at light speed; young women searching for escapism are at higher risk of getting sucked in. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe The fictional basis of the girlosphere has stayed the same for over a decade. It is deliberately voyeuristic and distant. Goodreads tells me that the Virgin Suicides gets tagged as 'girlhood' more than any other novel on the platform; the book and its film adaptation have had a cult online fanbase of young women for over a decade. But both are narrated by a cast of male characters; we barely see the central, insular group of sisters outside of dreams, rumours, windows and the 'coquette' craze on TikTok was borrowed wholesale from a decade-old Tumblr subculture, whose prime influence was the haunted paedophilia-Americana of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. If you're a young girl in this sphere then you're probably edgily imagining yourself as the abductee – but the whole point of the novel is that it obscures the abductor's criminal motivations through a veil of aesthetic-first literary devices. The manosphere, by contrast, is fundamentally anti-aesthetic. It puts its real-world grievances and ambitions before its visual concerns. Men do not participate in the collaborative collaging that made 'girlhood' into a nebulous vibe and Lana Del Rey into an all-purpose political tool. Nobody's living vicariously through the MS Paint cartoons of Pepe the Frog; Andrew Tate's livestreaming backgrounds have made no impression on the current generation of interior designers. You can write its acolytes off as political undesirables after a single glance. The girlosphere is a different kind of entity. There was nothing inherently malevolent about it in the beginning, but its escapist foundations have made it into a potentially sinister tool. Young women come to seek aesthetic pleasure and end up ricocheting over the political spectrum. The mainstream fashion devotees of the 'girlhood' aesthetic pose it as a symbol of reclaimed sisterhood, but this is the most sinister proposition of all, like something out of the Stepford Wives. It has only resounded for so long among young women online because its creepy voyeurism puts it at arm's length from the real female experience. You don't have to think with empathy when you mix modern-day policy and the vibes of a fictional middle America; you don't have to consider the practicalities of your own body when you spend all day collaging together old photos of Slavic supermodels. And once you enter the girlosophere, you can never leave. Future generations will have to endure this too: a ballet flat stomping on a human face, forever.

Why BJ Novack's Rumored Girlfriend, Delaney Rowe, Says She Isn't Completely 'Cuffed'
Actor BJ Novak has historically been fairly private about his dating life, aside from his well-known former relationship with Mindy Kaling, who was his co-star and on-screen love interest on The Office. The two actors have remained close friends since their breakup in 2007, but neither has shared much about their personal romantic lives since. So, fans were surprised when Novak started openly dating a high-profile TikTok star named Delaney Rowe. Rowe has a huge following on social media with over three million followers on TikTok alone, where she mainly posts comedic videos commenting on pop culture and film tropes—including rom-coms. Now that the 29-year-old influencer seems to be living in one, fans of both Rowe and Novak are curious about their relationship. Here's everything to know about Delaney Rowe and her connection to Novak so far. Rowe is originally from Boise, Idaho, and was drawn to acting from a young age. In an interview with Who What Wear in 2023, she shared that she would participate in the Idaho Shakespeare Festival and hoped to study theater at Juilliard. 'Nobody wanted me in New York,' she joked, explaining she ended up heading to Los Angeles, attending USC's School of Cinematic Arts for her BFA in acting. But she discovered through auditioning that she was better suited for comedy. 'I watched Gossip Girl growing up, but when it came down to auditioning for those types of things, I was so not right for it,' she said. 'It's so my instinct to be making things a little more unusual and a little more comedy-centric, so going into these auditions, I'm riffing, and I'm improving and doing a stand-up set, and they're like, 'Can you stick to the script?'' She said something similar to Vanity Fair in 2023 as well, explaining, 'There was this huge gap in between how myself and my team saw me, and how people in the actual industry saw me—like, something's not connecting, and we couldn't figure it out.' Rowe started supporting herself with a different talent, working as a personal chef. She told Vanity Fair one of her first clients was the late Marvel icon Stan Lee. But then, when the pandemic hit, Rowe was stuck at home like everyone else. 'I want to do something to make my insides match my outsides a little bit more, and I have to write them. I can't just expect material to show up, and then I can put my fun take on it,' she told Vanity Fair. 'TikTok came around, and I was like, I'm just going to use this as one big self-tape to show anybody who wants to watch that I can be funny.' Her success online has opened doors for Rowe, and her IMDB profile credits her in films like The List and The Everything Plot. In October 2024, Vogue shared a photo featuring both of them at a special screening of Goodrich. In November, they were seen at the How Long Gone after-party at The Standard hotel. Soon after, a source told DeuxMoi that they left the Bowery hotel together. In April 2025, sources told People that the two were officially dating. However, in a June 2025 episode of Liz Plank's Boy Problems podcast, Rowe spoke about her love life, and described herself as not completely 'cuffed.' 'I'm not like, you know, the cuffs aren't on, like I'm not like fully boo-ed up, but like, I am dating and it's going okay,' Rowe said, adding that she was 'the problem' when it came to commitment. 'I was the problem,' Rowe told Plank. 'And I had to sort of reconcile with that recently. I was not sure and so I was sort of noncommittal for a long period of time when he was like very sure. And so now I am sure, and he's like, 'I don't really trust your intentions at this point.''

Gracie Abrams just went Insta-official with Paul Mescal, but fans can't get enough of his lore with Daisy Edgar-Jones
Normal People came out in 2020. Gracie Abrams goes Insta-official with Paul Mescal, but fans can't seem to get over his lore with Daisy Edgar-Jones(Photos: Instagram) We are in 2025. But 5 years seem to have absolutely nothing on the breakout leads Paul Mescal, 29, and Daisy Edgar-Jones', 27, electrifying but wholesomely mundane chemistry — both in the show and across the innumerable instances outside it. Long story short, fans are convinced he's in love with her but she's not and so it goes. But facts move in an entirely different direction what with Paul being consistently linked to singer Gracie Abrams, 25, since 2023, around the same time that Daisy started properly seeing photographer Ben Seed. Speaking of Paul and Gracie, the latter just went Instagram official with her long speculated beau. A photo of them catching a break in the midst of the Glastonbury Festival made it to her loved up photo dump from the event. Several clips from the event doing the rounds of social media have revealed that Paul and Gracie were there with a big group of friends — including Daisy and boyfriend Ben. Now while Gracie's semi-hard launch of Paul on her IG, is a pretty intense move, it's only cue for the OG normal people stans to go doubly hard on the Normal People reel-to-real theory. Back in July 2024, Daisy, speaking to Variety, called Paul one of her "lifetime best friends", a narrative Paul, incidentally, has always reciprocated: "Paul is one of my lifetime best met when I was 20, and Paul was 22; I'm so excited to see where we'll be at 32, 42, and what life will bring us", she said. The duo also attended the Met Gala together back in 2022 with an image of Paul proudly gazing at Daisy from the back having gone viral — and we're talking weeks worth of memes level of virality. In an interview with WhoWhatWear later, Daisy focused on the "innocence" behind the picture, revealing it was Paul's idea to attend the gala together, seeing as she was so nervous about it. Back in May 2024 during the Fastnet Film Festival, Daisy also 'admitted' to have fallen in 'love' with Paul, though she was quick to clarify that it was only as friends, Speaking about Normal People she said, "So read the book (Normal People), fell in love with it, fell in love with Lenny's work. Met Paul, fell in love with Paul — like you know, as a friend. I'm announcing it here". There's also the very convincingly corroborated idea that the whimsical deer tattoo on Paul's right forearm is actually an ode to Daisy. And this sounds crazy, but hear it out. During an interview with GQ, when asked about the tattoo, Paul revealed that it had "something to do with Normal People" but immediately clammed up. The writer then noted how in the book, Paul's character describes Daisy's, as a deer, making it the only literal explanation that fits. Want to hear more? Daisy, in one of her interviews, explained how in playing her character Marianne, she tried to channel which animal?...you guessed it, a deer. Add to all of this the fact that Paul's social media handles, before he deactivated them all, were basically a "shrine' to either just Daisy or precious moments with her, and we have ourselves a very enticing rabbit hole to throw ourselves down. So, do you buy into this propaganda?

Why Simone Ashley's Role Was Cut in the 'F1' Movie
THE RUNDOWN Simone Ashley's role in the upcoming film F1 was unfortunately cut down significantly from the final version. In a new interview with People, the film's director, Joseph Kosinski, explained why. 'It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use,' he said. 'There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make into the final cut.' (According to People, Ashley appears onscreen, but doesn't have any speaking lines.) Kosinski added, 'But Simone, she's an incredible talent, incredible actress, incredible singer, and I would love to work with her again.' The Formula 1-inspired movie, set to release in theaters on June 27, stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris. The cast also includes Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, and Kim Bodnia. (F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton also makes an appearance and produced the movie.) Ashley's role was first announced in July 2024 after fans spotted her and Idris at the British Grand Prix in England, where the movie was being filmed. Details about her role, though, were kept under wraps. Earlier this month, the Bridgerton star spoke to ELLE about what it was like to film F1. 'That was crazy,' she said. 'I have a very small part, but I'm grateful to be in that movie. I got to experience many Grands Prix. I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again.' And back in March, she revealed more about the process. 'I mean, this film, gosh, has been going for years,' she told Who What Wear, also noting that 2023's SAG-AFTRA strike delayed filming. 'I met for this movie, I think, before Bridgerton even came out.' She continued, 'Obviously, with the strikes and delays, we finally wrapped in Abu Dhabi in December. It's been a long time, and you know, it's Damson and Brad's movie. I'm just so grateful that I can be part of it.'
