Scarlett Johansson at the premiere of Eleanor The Great

Scarlett Johansson redefined minimalist elegance at the “Eleanor the Great” premiere at TIFF, showcasing a custom Valentino gown by Alessandro Michele. Discover the subtle power of her look.

After bouncing between the VMAs and Venice, my attention is finally back on Toronto—and what better way to reset than with Scarlett Johansson at the premiere of Eleanor The Great on September 8, 2025. Her appearance was not merely a red carpet moment; it was a masterclass in the nuanced art of quiet luxury, a testament to her evolving personal style, and an intriguing pivot for a celebrated designer.

Scarlett has been quietly perfecting this soft-girl, minimalist streak of hers, and I’m completely here for it. At the Cannes premiere, she set the tone with a look that spoke softly but carried impact. Toronto felt like the sequel I actually wanted, a continuation of this serene narrative that feels both fresh and timeless.

Her custom Valentino gown, dreamt up by Alessandro Michele, was draped with such ease it gave us understated glamour at its best. The fabrication, a delicate, almost ethereal blush-toned chiffon, flowed with a liquid grace that truly caught the light, showcasing the masterful draping that is the hallmark of haute couture. The silhouette, with its elegant cold-shoulder detail and a gently cinched waist that flowed into a subtly voluminous train, eschewed overt theatrics. No sequins, no aggressive cut-outs—just pure, unadulterated elegance that whispered rather than shouted. As the renowned fashion critic, Isabelle Dubois, once remarked, “True luxury lies not in what is flaunted, but in what is exquisitely refined.”

And that’s the part I love most. Michele is known for his maximalist tendencies, a symphony of embellishment and audacious pattern, but with Scarlett, he read the room with an almost clairvoyant precision. She’s undeniably in her quiet, romantic era, and instead of fighting it, he leaned into it with a rare, refreshing restraint. It’s a powerful statement when a designer of his caliber chooses to edit, to distil his vision down to its most essential, beautiful elements, crafting a Valentino Custom Gown that feels both personal to the wearer and deeply significant for the brand.

The look was meticulously finished with Messika jewels, adding just the right touch of sparkle without overpowering the gown’s delicate nature. Her Messika Diamond Catcher 18K White Gold Long Earrings cascaded elegantly, catching the light with every turn, perfectly complementing the subtle shimmer of the fabric. On her finger, the Messika Born to Be Wild Ring offered a delicate gleam, while her feet were graced by Prada Silver Metallic Platform Sandals, a choice that blended modern sophistication with classic comfort, allowing the gown to truly take center stage. Her hair, styled in soft waves pulled back from her face, and her makeup, a sophisticated, natural palette, further emphasized this refined approach, proving that sometimes, less truly is more.

This appearance cements Scarlett Johansson’s position as a style icon who understands the power of subtlety. It challenges the notion that celebrity style must always be loud to be impactful, proving that a well-chosen, exquisitely crafted gown can speak volumes in a hushed tone. It’s a lesson in effortless chic, a return to the roots of genuine European elegance, reminding us all that true style is an inherent quality, not merely an adornment.

How College dropout Shraddha Kapoor top 10 heroines of Bollywood?

Shraddha Kapoor is currently one of the top heroines of Bollywood. Last year, her film ‘Stree 2‘ did the most business. In 2024, her Hindi film ‘Stree 2’ did business of about 900 crore rupees.

Not only acting, Shraddha is also a successful entrepreneur. However, once she used to make coffee and sell sandwiches in foreign cities. That past seems unbelievable today. She is Shraddha Kapoor, a popular heroine of Bollywood, daughter of the controversial villain Shakti Kapoor.

Now many people say that after the arrival of OTT, there has been a big change in the entertainment world. I think this wave came before OTT. Movies like “Neerja” were released before the OTT era. There have been films released before that are women-centric. So many times when people say that this is possible only in OTT, I don’t completely agree. Movies that are different from the traditional story have been released before and have been successful.

in Mumbai, where Shraddha was born and raised. Cinema was an integral part of his life since childhood. However, his journey to success on the silver screen was not easy at all. He enrolled in Boston University in the United States for his studies, the subject was psychology. But in the first year, he realized that academic studies could not find a place in his mind. Rather, cinema was more attractive.

Before returning home after leaving his studies, Shraddha had taken up various part-time jobs in the United States. He worked in a coffee shop, where he would stand for hours making coffee for customers. He also sold sandwiches. Later, in an interview, he said that those days taught him self-reliance. The experience of working on his own feet gave him a different perspective on life, which later came in handy in his acting career.

Shraddha Kapoor Bollywood journey

began in 2010 with the film ‘Teen Patti’. However, the beginning was not easy. The film did not receive much response. After acting in a few small roles, the big turning point came in 2013 with ‘Aashiqui 2’. A new heroine was born in this film, paired with Aditya Roy Kapur. The songs, acting and story – all of them combined to make the film a hit and also brought Shraddha to the doorsteps.After that, there was no looking back. She has shown her acting ability in one film after another – ‘Ek Villain’, ‘OK Jaanu’, ‘Haider’, ‘Chhichhore’ or ‘Stree’ – Shraddha has proven herself everywhere. Especially ‘Chhichhore’ gave her the opportunity to act in different roles, which also garnered praise from critics.

is finally here. This 2024 horror-comedy took the world by storm not only in Bollywood but also in the international market. The film earned Rs 884.45 crore worldwide. Through this, Shraddha Kapoor reached a level where only a handful of actresses have managed to make it. This success has proven her to be one of the most ‘bankable’ stars in Bollywood.

doesn’t stop at the movie screen. She has also brought her business entity to the fore. She recently invested in a jewelry company. Along with acting, this venture has also placed her in the list of businesswomen. She manages two different worlds – cinema and business – together, which has made her a great inspiration to today’s generation.

What does Shraddha think?

Shraddha Kapoor believes that a movie represents society. She said, ‘Now many people say that after the arrival of OTT, there has been a big change in the entertainment world. I think this wave came before OTT. Movies like “Neerja” were released before the OTT era. There have been films released before that are women-centric. So many times when people say that this is possible only in OTT, I don’t completely agree. Movies that are different from the traditional story have been released before and have been successful.’

Shraddha admits that she has received several film offers where she did not get a chance to play important roles, the roles were secondary. She says, “I feel a responsibility towards the audience. They want to see me in good roles. I want to portray myself in better roles in the future.” The actress wants to work in biopics on late legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar and actress Padmini Kolhapuri.

after the success of ‘Stree 2’, she has doubled her fee and has also given some additional conditions. It is learnt that the Bollywood actress is going to act in a new thriller film produced by Ekta Kapoor. The shooting of the film is expected to start by the end of this year. Shraddha has demanded a fee of Rs 17 crore for this film, whereas earlier her fee was between Rs 8 and 9 crore. Not only that, she has also demanded a share of the profits of the film.

It is heard that the producers have also agreed to Shraddha’s terms, although no official announcement has been made yet. The film will be directed by Rahi Anil Barve. If Shraddha Kapoor really gets a fee of Rs 17 crore, then she will be the highest paid actress in Bollywood.

Aishwarya Rai’s ‘objectionable’ photo goes viral!

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has moved the Delhi High Court seeking protection of her publicity rights, alleging that websites are using her name to sell products without her permission and that her AI-generated objectionable pictures are being circulated online. The Indian Express reports.

The case came up before Justice Tejas Kariyar on Tuesday. Senior advocate Sandeep Sethi, representing Aishwarya, said that several websites are doing business using Aishwarya’s name without permission. As an example, he mentioned a website called Aishwaryaraiworld.com, which claims to be Aishwarya Rai’s ‘official website’, although no such permission has been given by the actress.

Citing a more worrying example, Sethi said that another company has listed Aishwarya as its chairman in its official documents, even though the actress has no connection or consent to it.

Lawyer Sandeep Sethi told the court that an unknown person or organization is collecting money in Aishwarya’s name, and is even spreading obscene pictures created using artificial intelligence. In Sethi’s words, “These are not real pictures of Aishwarya, they are completely created using AI. Some intimate pictures have also been spread, which are completely fake and offensive.”

Sandeep Sethi further argues, ‘No one can use his picture, face or name without permission. Yet someone is earning money just by using his name and face, and his identity is being used to fulfill someone’s sexual desires, which is sad.’

The court asked Google’s lawyer to immediately remove the links listed by Aishwarya. The judge verbally said that the court will issue an injunction against such unauthorized use.

It is worth noting that the Bachchan family had also filed a case in the Delhi High Court in 2023. At that time, some videos on YouTube claimed that their daughter Aaradhya was seriously ill or dead. They also alleged that distorted images were used in those videos.

Disha Patani locked as female lead of Awarapan 2

Much like Awarapan, the sequel too is an intense love story with Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani, set against the backdrop of the gangster world with strong music.

In 2007, Mohit Suri and Emraan Hashmi teamed up on the Mukesh Bhatt produced gangster based love story titled Awarapan. While the film was a failure at the box office, it earned a cult status over the years among the cine-goers. The music of Awarapan too caught on, and today, the film is considered to be one of the most tragic love-story of Mohit Suri’s filmography. The love and appreciation over the years resulted in the makers to proceed and announce the sequel to Awarapan, with the return of Emraan Hashmi as Shivam Pandit. However, Nitin Kakkar replaced Mohit Suri as the director.

And now, we have exclusively learnt that Mukesh Bhatt and Nitin Kakkar have roped in Disha Patani to play the female lead of Awarapan 2. “Much like Awarapan, the sequel too is an intense love story, set against the backdrop of the gangster world. The spirit of the first part is intact, and the makers are expanding the world into a sequel format with 2x the romance and 2x the emotions. Emraan Hashmi will be playing Shivam Pandit, whereas details of Disha’s character have been kept under wraps,” revealed a source close to the development.

The script warranted the presence of someone like Disha, and the actress too fell in love with the script right at the narration. “Disha Patani was bowled over by the emotional arc in the script, and it was an instant yes from her end to come on board,” the source informed, quick to add that the team of Awarapan is presently working on the music, with the intent to hit the bullseye with all the romantic songs.

“Awarapan stands for music, and the sequel too will have a wholesome music album, with the possibility for the return of some old melodies. The shoot for Awarapan 2 begins by September end/early October, and the team is looking to call it a wrap by the month of January,” the source concluded. The film is set for a Summer 2026 release.

Dua Lipa Theatrical Chrome at United Center 2025

Dua Lipa stepped onto the United Center stage in Chicago and redefined what a concert wardrobe could be. Far from a simple costume, her look was a piece of high-concept fashion, proving that the modern pop star’s stage is now a bona fide runway.

For one of Dua Lipa most memorable looks of the night

Lipa debuted a custom Schiaparelli outfit that was a masterclass in sculptural chic. The piece, a breathtaking bodysuit, appeared to be crafted from a metallic silver or chrome-like fabric, giving her the appearance of a futuristic automaton. A distinctive, circular cutout at the chest added a striking focal point, framing the upper body while maintaining a sleek, uninterrupted line. This was not a soft, flowing garment; its rigid, architectural silhouette gave it a powerful, armor-like quality, perfectly suited for a stage performance.

The styling was kept minimal to let the outfit do all the talking. Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun, emphasizing the strong, clean lines of the bodysuit. Makeup was equally dramatic, with bold, defined eyebrows and a deep lip color that provided a striking contrast against the outfit’s metallic sheen. The theatrical stage lighting bathed her in an ethereal glow, turning her into a living, breathing work of art. The look wasn’t just clothing; it was a character.

Flora Saini cast to add boldness to Bigg Boss?

The entry of Flora Saini, also known as Asha Saini, into Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 came as a surprise to many. While Flora has appeared in several Telugu films, including Narasimha Naidu, she is today more widely known for her bold image, particularly among the younger generation, thanks to her sleazy and adult content.

Flora had actively created and shared semi-nude videos and live shows on paid adult platforms, which were later banned by the Government of India. Despite the ban, many of her videos continue to circulate on social media, contributing to her image as a bold and provocative figure rather than a conventional film actress.

Her inclusion in Bigg Boss Telugu has sparked speculation about the show’s strategy. Industry insiders suggest that the makers deliberately cast Flora to add spice and controversy, knowing that her bold persona would generate social media buzz and attract eyeballs, thereby boosting TRP ratings.

Reports also indicate that Flora Saini is among the highest-paid contestants this season, reflecting the makers’ confidence in her ability to stir up the game.

Whether this calculated move will work in favor of the show or backfire remains to be seen as the season progresses.

Gigi Hadid Secretly Auditioned for Disney Film?

Gigi Hadid has been a model for years, but she’s now pursuing an acting career as well—and putting in the work. Hadid and Kendall Jenner spoke in their shared Vogue cover story about Hadid’s progress. Hadid revealed that she recently auditioned to play Rapunzel in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Tangled. While she ultimately didn’t get the part, she took singing lessons during fashion month to prep and was proud of her work.

“What do we do in this job anymore that scares us?” Hadid asked Jenner. Of her audition, she added, “I was really proud of my scene. The singing…I knew they were going to go with a real singer, but I’ll show you my audition scene later.”

“I’m stoked,” Jenner replied. “I need to see.”

Hadid and Jenner also hinted they’re both in serious relationships. When asked about the last time they cried in front of each other, Jenner said it was “probably so long ago. Definitely not recently.”

Hadid added, “It’s mostly when we’ve gone through boy stuff, and we’re kind of at the end of that road. I feel like we’re both really strong people and not whiners and complainers, but we’re vulnerable when it’s the time to be.”

Hadid has been dating actor Bradley Cooper for nearly two years—and owes her acting ambition in part to him. In March, Hadid told Vogue that dating Cooper inspired her to explore the new career path. “Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life,” she said.

Of the roles she hopes to land, she shared, “I don’t just want to go act in TV and movies as, like, the boring girlfriend.” Doing theater, meanwhile, is “like a dream. That’s scary to say to you.”

But Cooper has made her believe that kind of future is possible: “I respect him so much as a creative, and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief,” she said. “For those people you admire to encourage you, it can create so much belief in yourself. Like, what’s the worst thing if I auditioned for this? You jump and take the leap.”
