'Savage' jumping wins the day for Clarens at Tramore
Clarens, trained locally by John Flavin for the Miracle Racing Syndicate, notched a second course and distance success when defying top-weight in the incident-packed Vince Power Memorial Handicap Chase at Tramore on Friday evening. Enterprisingly ridden by in-form Darragh O'Keeffe, he held off Itsalonglongroad by two lengths. 'It's a great prize to win at our local track,' said Flavin. 'He jumped savage and is so honest. There's a race for him over in Cartmel at the end of June and that's where he'll go next.' Earlier, chasing debutant Aussie Warrior, trained by Tommy Hughes and carrying the colours worn to Galway Hurdle success by Quinze back in 1999, landed the Curraghmore Beginners Chase in the hands of Phillip Enright, who went on to complete a double when Sam Curling's Derryville (7-4 favourite) made a successful hurdling debut in the Walsh King Accountants Mares Maiden Hurdle. The Gordon Elliott-trained Bowensonfire pounced late under 7lb claimer Finn Brickley to deny Hasten Slowly in the SIS Handicap Hurdle. And the Willie Mullins-trained hotpot Love Me Tender (Jody Townend) looked an exciting prospect on his debut, outclassing his rivals in the bumper, powering clear up the hill to slam Palpatate by eight lengths. At Down Royal, versatile mare Goodie Two Shoes gave Joseph O'Brien a fifth win in the listed His Majesty's Plate. The 3-1 favourite, ridden by stable jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle, stayed on strongly through the final furlong to keep nearest rival La Isla Mujeres at bay by a length. Goodie Two Shoes, winner of a Killarney maiden hurdler last summer, was registering her second listed success, to the delight of her jockey, who stated: 'She's very straight-forward. We went an even pace, she relaxed lovely and quickened up well and put it to bed easily. 'It looked a competitive race. She stays two miles well and is improving all the time.' The trainer/rider combination doubled-up when Angelo Pio justified 2-1 favouritism in the finale, the BoyleSports Best Odds Guaranteed Maiden. Chris Hayes brought his seasonal tally to 25 thanks to a 55-1 double on Rajala and On A Session. The once-raced, Dermot Weld-trained Rajala prevailed by a neck over Lil' Angel in the seven-furlong fillies' maiden, stepping up on her debut fifth at the Curragh. And On A Session, trained by Kieran Cotter, recorded his first win in more than two years when defying a high draw and justifying market support in the seven-furlong BoyleSports Extra Places Every Day Handicap, foiling favourite Dynamic Force. 'We had a wide draw and I decided to take the brave man's route,' explained Hayes. 'It opened up for us and he pricked his ears when he got there. He's run well in Galway before and the rough and tumble of it around there suits him.' In a first-time visor, Willie McCreery's Navy Waters got up on the line, under a strong ride from Nathan Crosse, to pip front-runner First Ascent in the BoyleSports Smart Race Card Maiden, with odds-on favourite Seo Linn third.

1700 diamonds, fine gold work: Miss world crown costs more than a duplex in Mumbai, its worth Rs...
1700 diamonds, fine gold work: Miss world crown costs more than a duplex in Mumbai, its worth Rs… There is a high chance that most girls would have dreamt at least once of being a part of a beauty pageant. From walking the ramp, preparing the right answers for the final round, to finally being crowned, this narrative lives rent-free in the minds of many girls. Besides the urge to win a title, it's the dream of being crowned that most beauty pageant participants fantasise. The crown holds utmost impact; it's not just a symbol of triumph, but it also illustrates power, grace, and years of hard work. However, what many don't know is that this crown isn't something that winners get to keep permanently; instead, it is kept by the Miss World organisation as part of the pageant's legacy. The winner instead is given a duplicate crown that they can keep with them as a memento of their win. The original crown is only worn by Miss World during her tenure. Unlike any other accessory, the crown is extremely precious and of great value. It speaks about the tale of discipline, confidence, and hard work. The 10th Miss World crown, which is also the current crown, was unveiled in the year 2019z it was designed very diligently by a Lebanese-Swiss luxury brand called Mauowaz. The theme of the crown revolved around 'Power of Unity' and was no less than impeccable. It was made in 18-carat gold and featured 1700 diamonds with a golden canary diamond of 62.83 in the center. The total weight of the crown is attributed to 175.47 carats. According to the reports, the worth of this crown is approximately Rs. 40 crores. Previous crowns were designed by renowned global jewelry houses like Mikimoto, DIC, and Diamond Nexus Labs, each bringing their own iconic flair. While walking the path of such a beauty pageant requires a lot of hard work, self-belief, and discipline, it all becomes worth it the moment its being crowned, serving a reminder of hard-earned glory

The $120 Black Dress Demi Lovato Chose for Her Bridesmaids
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. When wedding bells rang for actor and singer Demi Lovato over the weekend, there was one surprising detail nestled amid the lavish greenery and custom gowns: These $120 bridesmaid dresses that are still in stock in every size. Lovato married artist and songwriter Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes on Sunday, May 25 at a private estate in Santa Barbara, California. For the ceremony, the bride was draped in a custom Vivienne Westwood gown, featuring a corset top and romantic off-the-shoulder sleeves, paired with a cathedral-style tulle veil. In contrast to Lovato's statement-making silhouette, the bridal party wore timeless, all-black dresses (and suits)—in particular, the best-selling Anne dress in matte black satin from burgeoning bridal destination Birdy Grey. Photo credit: Jose Villa, @josevilla If the brand sounds familiar, it's likely that you've seen it (or even worn it) before. In fact, I just wore a Birdy Grey dress at a friend's wedding over the weekend. The brand is known for its sleek silhouettes with re-wear potential that come in a vast range of colors, fabrics, and patterns. The Anne dress mirrors Lovato's own gown, pairing a corset-style top with thoughtful draping at the waist and hip. However, its mid-thigh slit and column silhouette make the dress feel a little more understated, compared to the Disney alum's sweeping train. We appreciate the choice of matte satin for a modern look—though it's also available in shiny satin, if you prefer. It comes in sizes XS to 3XL and 57 different colors. If you're planning your own nuptials—or you're a member of the bridal party with the freedom to choose your own dress—score this timeless and affordable number before inventory disappears. With wedding season well underway, it's might be worth checking out Birdy Grey's collection before the next black-tie invite hits your mailbox:

Why nude dressing is trending on the red carpet
The 78th Cannes Film Festival wrapped up last week with an updated dress policy: 'nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival." However, that didn't stop sheer, see-through sparkly dresses from appearing on the red carpet. The nude dress has often generated a lot of debate. Some see it as an attention seeking tool, while others hail it as a way to embrace one's femininity. Reflecting her desire to celebrate her cultural roots, Gucci's global brand ambassador Alia Bhatt wore a custom "nude" three-piece set, embroidered with crystals in a GG Monogram pattern, that looked lehnga inspired. Another 'naked" beaded dress was worn by Dakota Johnson at the Kering Women in Motion Awards at Cannes. Her outfit featured a sporty, halter-like neckline, as well as a fitted bodice and a diaphanous skirt. Also read: How the military has defined menswear fashion Halle Berry, too, thumbed her nose at the no-nudity rule and sparkled in a sheer crystal-encrusted Gucci halter dress. Paris Jackson deserves a mention too, as she attended the Cannes 2025 amfAR Gala in an almost nude gown that exposed her flesh-toned knickers. So did British model and TV presenter Leomie Anderson. Homegrown designer label Shivan & Narresh have experimented with the naked dress over the years. Shivan Bhatiya, founder-head designer, points out that naked dressing was evident throughout this year—at the Grammys, various music awards, and the Met Gala. "Alia's look was especially impressive. They (Gucci) were able to give a nude look without making it look obscene," he says. Also read: How to make knitwear cool for the summer When it comes to adapting the 'nude", or nude-coloured, look for everyday wear, it really depends on the occasion. "For evenings, sticking to monotones works beautifully—monotone outfits are a safe bet for both day and night," he suggests. If one's wearing separates, one should try pairing a nude top with printed trousers or skirts for a stylish contrast. Designer Shweta Kapur of label 431-88 observes that the nude trend at Cannes was a mood. "It's less about showing skin and more about celebrating it. There's something unapologetically powerful about baring it all in such a refined, intentional way. It's not loud, it's not trying—it just is. That effortless sensuality, the kind that doesn't need validation. That's the energy," she says. Bringing the nude trend into your everyday wardrobe is all about contrast and confidence. "Incorporate sheer nude turtlenecks under oversized blazers—polished, but with just enough skin to keep it interesting. Or a sand-toned slip dress layered with a cropped utility jacket and chunky boots. It's about soft fabrics in strong shapes: nude mesh tops with sharp trousers, second-skin bodysuits under structured denim," Kapur says. One can even play with tonal layering—mixing creams, beiges, taupes—for that 'undone but intentional' vibe. The trick? Don't over-style. Let the skin-toned palette speak for itself. Priyanka Kathuria, founder, wardrobe consultancy Altique, suggests layering a sheer blouse over a bralette or a tank top. "You can also play with sheer sleeves or panels, or structured gowns that come with side cutouts," she suggests. Manish Mishra is a Delhi-based writer and content creator.

‘In what universe is this a saree?': Alia Bhatt's Swarovski Gucci look for Cannes has internet scratching their heads
Alia Bhatt has had a stellar debut at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. From a custom Schiaparelli gown to a three-piece Gucci look that encapsulated the summer vibes in the French Riviera perfectly, she has worn stunning outfits during her time at the festival. For her final red carpet appearance, Alia did what no one has done before - wearing an Indian silhouette designed by Gucci, a first for the luxury brand. Also Read | Alia Bhatt's hairstylist lost all his bags and hair kits before her Cannes debut, borrowed 'stuff' from others Many fashion pages, including the anonymous fashion Instagram account Diet Sabya, shared posts where they called Alia Bhatt's outfit the first-ever saree or saree-inspired look created by Gucci, though the luxury brand's post featuring Alia did not mention the same, and called it 'a custom Gucci gown with embroidered crystals in a GG Monogram pattern'. This left many netizens scratching their heads and wondering if the silhouette can actually be called a saree. A post shared by GUCCI (@gucci) Instagram users took to Diet Sabya's post to express their confusion. One user wrote, 'It's choli lehengaaa. Someone, please, explain to Gucci.' Another commented, 'In what universe is this a saree? Y'all are stretching at this point.' A comment read, 'Did they claim it was inspired by a sari or did we?? The word is lehenga.' Another said, 'Is the sari in the room with us?' A user pointed out, 'That isn't a saree lol! It's a top and skirt with a dupatta, I guess.' Another wrote, 'Saree where??? It's a fish cut lehenga.' An Instagram user stressed, 'Let's call it Lehenga …. Saree is Sareeee.' A user commented, 'This is anything but a saree…it's a fishtail lehenga with a choli.' The confusion around the silhouette aside, Alia glittered on the Cannes red carpet in a Swarovski crystals embellished ensemble. She wore a nude-looking outfit featuring a plunging neck bralette, a high-waisted skirt, and a dupatta draped on the shoulder. The dupatta formed a floor-sweeping train at the back. She completed the look with minimal jewels, including diamond earrings, a choker necklace, and a cocktail ring. With her tresses left loose in a centre parting and styled with soft, blowout waves, she chose flushed cheeks, glowing highlighter, winged eyeliner, glossy pink lips, feathered brows, and mascara-adorned lashes for the glam.
