Sofia Carson wears Elie Saab at Biarritz Film Festival
DUBAI: American actor and singer Sofia Carson attended the third Nouvelles Vagues International Biarritz Film Festival this week, wearing a black ensemble by Lebanese designer Elie Saab. Her outfit featured a long-sleeved dress with a bow-tied collar and layered ruffle detailing along the sleeves and bodice. The skirt was tiered and embellished with black sequins and sheer mesh panels, creating a structured silhouette with varied textures. She completed the look with black pointed-toe heels and diamond earrings. Held annually in the southwestern coastal town of Biarritz, the festival highlights emerging voices in global cinema and focuses on innovation in storytelling. A post shared by Sofia Carson (@sofiacarson) Carson appeared on the red carpet alongside other guests and filmmakers as the festival launched its week-long program of screenings, panels, and industry discussions. She later shared photos from the event on Instagram, writing: 'Honored to be a part of a jury of extraordinary young artists, filmmakers, directors, lovers of cinema. Merci @festivalnouvellesvagues for celebrating the power, responsibility, and artistry of youth in cinema.' Carson has long been a fan of Saab's designs. Earlier this month she showcased multiple looks by the couturier during Netflix-related events. A post shared by Sofia Carson (@sofiacarson) In the lead-up to Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event, the platform's global celebration of fandom and storytelling, Carson wore a white ensemble featuring a tailored blazer, wide-leg trousers and a matching shirt. On a separate occasion she wore an all-black outfit composed of wide-leg trousers and a sheer top with cape-like sleeves, tied at the neck with a long scarf. Both outfits were from Saab's Ready-to-Wear Pre-Fall 2025 Collection. A post shared by Sofia Carson (@sofiacarson) She appeared in one of the designer's ensembles in March while promoting her latest project, 'The Life List.' She also wore a green dress from the designer's Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2023–2024 Collection during an appearance on 'CBS Mornings' in New York. The look featured an oversized floral embellishment at the neck in shades of yellow and white, styled with deep green knee-high boots and a matching bag. Later that same week, she wore another look by the designer, a black dress with a fitted silhouette and structured shoulders. She styled it with long leather gloves, sheer black stockings and pointed-toe pumps.

Winners of Young Artists Competition take the stage with the Boston Pops
The winners of this year's Fidelity Investments Young Artists Competition stepped into the spotlight at Symphony Hall Wednesday to perform with the Boston Pops. WBZ is the proud sponsor of this competition event, which has been supporting and showcasing young local artists for 17 years now. "I have so many memories of coming to this stage and seeing my favorite cellists perform amazing concertos. I'm sort of in disbelief still that I got to do the same thing," said Noah Ferris from Amherst Regional High School. More than 70 high schoolers from across the state applied for the incredible opportunity. And like many winners before them, these four have been practicing and preparing since they fell in love with music as toddlers. "When I play, I feel like I'm really free. I express through the piano more than I could ever do with words. It's just something I really connect with. It's almost like my best friend in a way," explained Max Fan from the Groton School. Ending high school on high note This year, all four winners are graduating seniors - closing their high school chapters on the perfect note. "I like felt like I was flying when I was performing; After such overwhelming relief because I was so nervous. I wouldn't know what I was doing with my life if I wasn't doing music," said Margaret King from Wachusett Regional High School. And as they took their bows in front of the dazzled crowd, these young musicians looked for the faces who have always been cheering for them. My school sent us a bus here actually. My headmaster came, his wife came. My college counselor, my music advisor came, my Latin teacher came, my Arabic teacher came. Really appreciative," Fan said humbly. "I'm really grateful for all my teachers and family and everyone who supported me because that's really what has built me up, as a violinist but also as a person as well," said Iris Tian from Boston Latin. Applicants must be full-time students who attend any public, private or parochial school, or are home school registered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Entrants must be legal U.S. residents or in the process of obtaining citizenship and must be between 13 and 19 years of age. Applications for the 2026 competition will open in December 2025.
