Why Kylie Jenner has been wearing black when supporting BF Timothee Chalamet at public events
Fashion observers noted a striking trend with Kylie Jenner after she made her red carpet debut with her boyfriend Timothee Chalamet earlier this month - she almost always wears black when supporting him at public events. Prior to wearing a gorgeous black Schiaparelli gown at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome on May 7, she previously sported black ensembles at nearly every awards-season event that she accompanied the 29-year-old Oscar nominee to. And now Kylie has finally revealed why she goes monochrome so often when out with Timothee. The 27-year-old admitted to Harper's Bazaar in an article published on Wednesday that she opted for jet black so as not to distract from her boyfriend's achievements. 'Although these are the most beautiful, iconic gowns that I've been wearing, I think a black dress is also kind of like, not too attention grabbing in the best way,' she explained. 'You can never go wrong with a black dress,' Kylie added. Although the monochrome looks served an important function for her, she didn't set out to wear nothing but black throughout awards season. 'I think it just like happened that way,' she admitted. Prior to making her red carpet debut with Timothee in Italy, Kylie was thinking of trying out something more colorful. 'I can't wear another black dress,' she recalled thinking. 'And then of course the most perfect, gorgeous Schiaparelli black dress shows up.' The plunging gown ended up being the perfect way to highlight her curves, and it also drew attention to her sweet PDA with Timothee. He wrapped an arm around her and rested his hand on her midriff as she affectionately grasped his finger, and her patterned black dress created the ideal contrast to show off the hands. Timothee tended to favor more eye-catching outfits during awards season, including a yellow leather suit that he wore to the Oscars, but he matched Kylie in Rome with a chic double-breasted black velvet suit and a matching black shirt that he wore without a tie. Kylie flashed a bit more flesh at the 2025 Academy Awards ceremony when she wore a black bedazzled Miu Miu dress with a triangular cutout over her midriff and a plunging neckline that highlighted her cleavage. She was willing to steal a bit more attention at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, whens he changed into a sheer corset-style dress from Ashi Studio that left little to the imagination. In the run-up to the Oscars, she stunned in a backless vintage John Galliano gown dating from 1995 that was decorated with shimmering tear drop–shaped spangles at the BAFTA Film Awards in February. Kylie's black pattern doesn't appear to have emerged until after the Golden Globes were held on January 5 of this year, as she wore a striking silver dress to that ceremony. Her turn toward black was also a return to tradition, as it is traditionally a more conservative, formal color. Although women attending awards shows often favor colorful ensembles to contrast men's more conservative attire, Kylie highlighted the more formal roots of the ceremonies with her black outfits. Her public appearances with Timothée were more limited in 2024, but she also favored a black outfit at the 2024 Golden Globes, though she wore a sheer patterned look that was far more risqué than many of her outfits this year She has also occasionally worn black at more casual events, such as the US Open in September 2023, when she wore a black T-shirt to match Timothee's black ensemble. However, the younger sister of Kim Kardashian has also shown that she's willing to stand out when the spotlights aren't as glaring. When she appeared with Timothee at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, California, in March, Kylie stood out in a tied-off cropped red blouse covered in white stripes, which stood out against her love's white track suit. She and the Little Women star were first linked back in April of 2023.

Neon, Mubi, A24: The Buyers That Won Cannes 2025
Cannes Film Festival 2025 The Cannes Film Festival is officially over and last night's list of winners is already giving us an overview of the next awards season. While some movies are still looking for a home, the biggest titles of this year's edition such as Die My Love, Sentimental Value, Palme d'Or's winner It Was Just An Accident, Sirat or The Mastermind, quickly became the most coveted titles on the Croisette and inside the Marché du Film. Over the years, Neon has become an incredibly powerful buyer and the possibility that they might get their 6th Palme d'Or in a row became a reality last night, when It Was Just An Accident, directed by Jafar Panahi, was announced by the President of the Jury, Juliette Binoche. After Anora, Anatomy of a Fall, Triangle of Sadness, Titane and Parasite -movies that all led a major awards season- Panahi's film as well as Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes last night, are already some of the strongest contenders that Neon just added to an already impressive track record. On top of these two films, Neon also acquired the rights to Oliver Laxe's Sirat, winner of the Jury Prize last night, Kleber Mendonça Filho's The Secret Agent, who won the Best Director award, Julia Ducournau's Alpha, Michael Angelo Covino's Splitsville and Raoul Peck's Orwell: 2+2=5. However, the first big sale that everyone was talking about on the Croisette last week came from Mubi, which acquired the rights to Lynn Ramsay's Die My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson for $24 million. These past few years, Mubi led a strong awards season by acquiring some big titles during the Cannes Film Festival, like Coralie Fargeat's The Substance last year, and Magnus Von Horn's The Girl with the Needle. This year, the distributor also acquired the rights to the Palme d'Or winner for the distribution in Latin America, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Turkey and India. Mubi will also distribute Sirat in Italy, Turkey and India. Another big buy from Mubi was last night's second winner of the Jury Prize -a tie with Sirat- The Sound of Falling directed by Mascha Schilinski. On top of that, Mubi also acquired The History of Sound, directed by Oliver Hermanus and starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, and Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind, also starring O'Connor. For now, A24 will distribute Ari Aster's Eddington, Spike Lee's Highest to Lowest, and Harry Lighton's debut feature Pillion, starring Alexander Skarsgard and Harry Melling, which won Best Screenplay in the Un Certain Regard competition. This article will be updated as additional sales are announced.

Cannes 2025 Films Sold So Far: Oliver Laxe's ‘Sirât' Acquired by Neon
The Cannes Film Festival is underway, and while the Marché Du Film is as booming as ever with exciting packages of future films, there are plenty of titles playing in competition or in the Cannes sidebars that could make a big splash at the box office or the awards season race for the right buyer. Last year's 'The Substance' was acquired by MUBI before it landed a Best Picture Oscar nomination and made $77.3 million worldwide. Here are the 13 films we predicted ahead of the festival could find homes quickly. We'll update the below list with all the acquisitions as they come in. More from IndieWire These Cannes 2025 Prize Winners Will Inspire Oscar Campaigns Cowboys vs. Accountants: The Real World of International Production Financing | Future of Filmmaking Summit at Cannes Section: CompetitionDistributor: NeonDirector: Oliver LaxeBuzz: Neon's buying spree continues in the distributor's quest to again win the Palme d'Or. This one though has some serious 'Mad Max' vibes, a film set amid explosive electronic music at a rave as a father ventures into the Moroccan desert to search for his missing daughter. The film stars Sergi López, Bruno Núñez, Stefania Gadda, and Jade Oukid and was even produced by Pedro Almodóvar. Neon picked up North American rights and is again hoping to release the film later this year. Just no spoilers please! Section: CompetitionDistributor: NeonDirector: Jafar PanahiBuzz: The Iranian auteur Panahi returned to Cannes for the first time since 2003 for this deeply personal film that was inspired and ideated during his second stint in an Iranian prison. Starring Mariam Afshari, Ebrahim Azizi, and Vahid Mobasser, the film follows a group of dissidents debating whether to kill their former torturer. The film will be released in North America later this year. IndieWire's review called it a 'blistering moral thriller,' and with some of the best reviews of the festival so far, it now looks like a frontrunner for the Palme d'Or. This is also Neon's second time partnering with Panahi after previously releasing his film 'The Year of the Everlasting Storm,' which premiered in Cannes Special Screenings in 2021. Section: CompetitionDistributor: MUBIDirector: Mascha SchilinskiBuzz: Deemed literally the 'buzziest sales title' of Cannes by IndieWire's Ryan Lattanzio and Anne Thompson, 'Sound of Falling' landed at Mubi after a competitive bidding war. Mascha Schilinski's century-spanning coming of age film centers on four generations of women within the same family, all living in a small German farming town across decades. Though separated by time, their lives begin to mirror each other, leading to the question: Can memories be inherited, repeated, and ultimately, relived? IndieWire critic David Ehrlich likened Schilinski to being the next Sofia Coppola. It's clear that Mubi has a gem on its hands. Section: CompetitionDistributor: NeonDirector: Kleber Mendonça FilhoBuzz: If you're handicapping the Palme D'Or race, keep an eye on 'The Secret Agent,' because Neon and Tom Quinn clearly like it's odds if they're jumping to acquire it and keep their streak alive. The distributor picked up North American rights and is planning a theatrical release later in 2025. Star Wagner Moura has earned some early buzz for Best Actor at Cannes, and the film earned strong reviews for the Brazilian auteur behind 'Bacarau.' The film also stars Maria Fernanda Cândido, Gabriel Leon, Carlos Francisco, Alice Carvalho, and Hermila Guedes and follows a technology expert on the run who arrives in Recife, Brazil in 1977 during Carnival week, hoping to reunite with his son, only to realizes that the city is far from being the non-violent refuge he seeks. Section: CompetitionDistributor: MUBIDirector: Lynne RamsayBuzz: The first major sale of Cannes is one of the starriest, with Lynne Ramsay's intense drama about postpartum depression and motherhood starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson going to MUBI in a deal for $24 million, IndieWire can confirm. The film is also expected to get a healthy theatrical window and wide release, and MUBI acquired the North American rights in addition to Latin America, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, BeNeLux, Turkey, India, Australia, and New Zealand. Our review wrote that Lawrence gives the type of performance that is made for the Cannes Best Actress prize in her 'feral' depiction of a woman in rural America engulfed by love and madness. Section: CompetitionDistributor: NeonDirector: Julia DucournauBuzz: It was a hot market title at last year's Cannes, and a year later the latest from the Palme D'Or winner of 'Titane' is back in the main competition. The film follows a 13-year-old girl whose world comes crashing down when she arrives home with a tattoo on her arm.

Section: Director's FortnightDistributor: IFC FilmsDirector: Sean ByrneBuzz: A serial killer movie and a shark movie from the director of 'The Devil's Candy?' What's not to like? Section: CompetitionDistributor: A24Director: Ari AsterBuzz: Destined to be as polarizing as any of his features, Aster's pandemic-set fourth feature is a contemporary Western with a stellar cast that includes Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, and Austin Butler. Section: Un Certain RegardDistributor: TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures ClassicsDirector: Scarlett JohanssonBuzz: June Squibb stars in this indie drama that is also Johansson's directorial debut about a nonagenarian who after 70 years returns to New York city and befriends a student. Section: Out of CompetitionDistributor: Apple TV+ and A24Director: Spike LeeBuzz: Spike Lee's reunion with Denzel Washington for a modern day reimagining of Akira Kurosawa's 'High and Low' looks like one of Lee's most commercial films in years, so it's fitting it will get a theatrical release before landing on streaming. Section: CompetitionDistributor: MUBIDirector: Oliver HermanusBuzz: Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor star in this romance set in 1917 amid the world of early 20th Century folk music. Section: MidnightDistributor: Focus FeaturesDirector: Ethan CoenBuzz: Ethan Coen's second solo effort again pairs him with his partner and writer Tricia Cooke, as well as star Margaret Qualley, who plays a small-town private eye investigating a church led by a dubious preacher played by Chris Evans.

Bruce Springsteen Biopic ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere' Sets October Release
Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, is ready to run into theaters this fall. Writer-director Scott Cooper's biopic focusing on the legendary musician known as the Boss is set for theatrical release Oct. 24 from 20th Century Studios, giving it a prime slot amid awards season. Jeremy Strong co-stars as Jon Landau, Springsteen's manager and record producer. More from The Hollywood Reporter Sean "Diddy" Combs' Ex Cassie Ventura Tells Court She Doesn't Hate Him Despite Decade of Abuse 'Bono: Stories of Surrender' Review: Andrew Dominik's Apple TV+ Doc Aims Loving Spotlight on the Music and the Man Hours After Release, Morgan Wallen's 'I'm The Problem' Is Already Spotify's Most-Streamed Country Album of 2025 Also set for release on Oct. 24 are the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel Regretting You, Mortal Kombat 2 and Yorgos Lanthimos' Bugonia starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. Deliver Me From Nowhere focuses on the making of Springsteen's 1982 spare and deeply personal Nebraska, one of the most acclaimed albums of all time. Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Paul Walter Hauser, Gaby Hoffmann, Johnny Cannizzaro, Harrison Gilbertson, Marc Maron, David Krumholtz and Chris Jaymes round out the cast. Cooper helmed the project from his own script that he adapted from Warren Zanes' 2023 book of the same name. Producers include Cooper, Zanes and Scott Stuber, along with Gotham Group's Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson. Both Springsteen and Landau are involved with the film. The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that prolific record producer Dave Cobb, who has worked with Springsteen, Jason Isbell and Brandi Carlile, among others, is involved with the movie's music. Springsteen has notched countless accolades in his storied career. This includes 20 Grammys, an Oscar and a Special Tony Award, leaving him just an Emmy shy of EGOT status. His legendary live shows were the focus of last year's documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, streaming on Hulu and Disney+. White and Strong took the stage at CinemaCon last month to debut Deliver Me From Nowhere's rousing first trailer, which included footage of White belting out Springsteen's hit 'Born to Run.' White called making the movie a 'dream come true' and added, 'I feel really lucky. We all had Bruce's blessing on this film.' Music biopics remain a top priority for Hollywood following such recent success stories as Paramount's Bob Marley: One Love and Searchlight's Timothée Chalamet-led A Complete Unknown, with the latter Bob Dylan-focused feature landing eight Oscar nominations. Currently in the works is Sony's four-film project about the Beatles, set for theatrical release in April 2028.

EXCLUSIVE The red carpet rulebook is out! Reality TV stars are rewriting conservative fashion rules at award shows - and proving less is more with daring styles
Awards season once saw actresses and singers descending on red carpets in traditional ballgowns fit for a Disney princess. However, the integration of reality TV stars and influencers at the glitzy events in the UK's capital, such as the BAFTAs and Brit Awards, has changed the dress code. Instead of formal dresses with big skirts and even bigger trains, a new generation of bold and daring women are embracing sheer, clingy or risqué cut-out ensembles more than ever before. In the past few months alone, Love Island alum Maura Higgins wore one of her raciest looks yet at the Brit Awards. The 34-year-old looked flawless in a sheer black gown, leaving her figure on full display. At the same event, Louise Thompson, known for starring in Made in Chelsea and, more recently, the He Said, She Said podcast, arrived in a striking baby blue dress which featured a plunging neckline. Then, at the BAFTA 's earlier this week, Love Island's Gabby Allen took a leaf out of Maura's book and arrived in a sparkling next-to-nothing navy mesh ensemble, revealing her underwear. Following closely behind was one of the nation's favourite podcasters, Sophie Habboo, who looked elegant in a bandeau dress with a thigh-high split and cut-out bustier. So, what's behind the change? Fashion expert and personal stylist Lisa Talbot believes the stars are not just sporting daring outfits but 'making statements about body confidence, individuality, and modern femininity'. Talbot said: 'Award season used to be a showcase of classic glamour, floor-sweeping gowns, modest silhouettes, and red-carpet tradition. But today's reality TV stars are rewriting the style rules with daring confidence.' Indeed, in the past, celebrities have attended ceremonies in traditional dresses, such as Penélope Cruz's fishtail gown at the 2007 BAFTAs, the year she was nominated for Best Actress for Volver. Modesty was still on trend three years later when 19-year-old Kristen Stewart scooped the Rising Star award at the 2010 BAFTAs in a knee-length sequin-embellished gown. It was a similar scene at past Brit Awards, with musicians arriving in modest high-fashion ensembles. Take, for instance, Rihanna at the 2011 ceremony, who caught the eye in a bold gown with a purple patterned bodice and voluminous aqua skirt all tied together with a green sash. Then, at 2018's event, Dua Lipa was dressed for her fairytale moment when she donned a sweeping pink princess gown. The voluminous garment featured swathes of tulle and ruffles that skimmed over her and formed a large train. At today's award shows, reality TV stars are on the guest list with actresses and singers. While they're not competing for accolades, they are fighting for the title of best dressed and have pushed boundaries to stand out. Lisa continued: 'Figures like Sophie Habboo, Louise Thompson, and Gabby Allen are stepping out in body-conscious cut-outs, sheer panels, and thigh-high slits, redefining what 'dressed up' looks like. Sophie Habboo, pictured, looked elegant in a bandeau dress with a thigh-high split and cut-out bustier at the BAFTAs earlier this year 'These women aren't just making fashion choices, they're making statements about body confidence, individuality, and modern femininity,' she said. 'This new wave of red-carpet dressing reflects the fearless attitude reality stars are known for. 'They're unapologetically embracing their personal style, pushing the boundaries of formalwear and showing that less can, in fact, be more,' she said. Among those trailblazing the low-cut looks that are now sweeping star-studded events, is Love Island star, Ekin Su, who wore an exceptionally low-neckline while attending the premiere for Tom Hardy's film, Venom, last October. The reality star strut onto the celebrity packed red carpet wearing jaw-dropping black gown that revealed her ample cleavage. Lisa explained: 'While some critics may raise eyebrows, there's no denying their influence: the red carpet is no longer reserved for safe elegance, it's a space for bold, expressive fashion that reflects today's cultural shift toward authenticity and self-celebration.' However, that's not to say the new trend is having it's say with everyone in the world. Organisers at this year's Cannes Film Festival made a conscious decision to issue a rule on modesty, prohibiting guests from displaying both nudity and excessively voluminous outfits on grounds of 'decency'. Cannes red carpet, which has previously paved the catwalk for the likes of Cameron Diaz, Kylie Minogue, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell, has seen it's guests grow barer over the years as A-listers move towards embracing more risqué looks. In 2024, model Bella Hadid famously strut the runway baring all in a sheer green Saint Laurent dress, her nipples conspicuous beneath the thin fabric. However - following the traditional lead this year, celebrities have obligingly opted for more more modest looks. Arriving for the opening ceremony on Tuesday, Halle Berry sported a black and white striped gown pulled up to the top of her neck that flowed all the way down to her feet, an ensemble that seemed a far cry from the more frugal fashion pairings that have dominated the runway recently. Additionally, Russian model Irina, 39, put on a show-stopping display in a strapless feather gown as she struck a pose on the iconic red steps, nevertheless, in-keeping with the modest theme. Back on British soil, many of the nation's best loved celebrities, including Holly Willoughby and Suzanne Reid, have steadfast held to traditional runway looks - a stark contrast to their reality TV contemporaries. Last year's National Television Awards saw Holly donning an elegant strapless silver and black dress from luxury couture brand Kolchagov Barba, with the most daring component being a tasteful high leg slit. Joining her in-keeping with more traditional red carpet robes was ITV presenter, Cat Deeley, who stepped out in simple silk red one-shoulder midi dress with gold strappy heels. At the same event though, reality stars proved once again their willingness to push the boundaries with edgier costumes, with Made in Chelsea alum, Zara McDermott flashing her lower cleavage in busty black number. Meanwhile, former Love Island contestant Molly Smith also opted for a more daring look, baring her bust in a similar black dress featuring a waist-enhancing corset and an ultra-low neckline.
