Roberto Coin, the jeweler known for mixing Italian craftsmanship and romance, has named Dakota Johnson global brand ambassador.
'Dakota Johnson is a true original. I love her expressions — an artist with authenticity, depth, and a unique ability to connect,' founder and creative director Roberto Coin said.

This partnership ushers in a new chapter for Coin, who previously tapped famed models to front campaigns and is now turning to the Hollywood actress.
'We've previously worked with incredible models like Arizona Muse and Christy Turlington to represent the beauty and craft of our jewelry,' Coin told WWD. 'With Dakota, we're evolving — not just showcasing jewelry, but aligning with a voice and personality that resonates more deeply with today's luxury consumer.
'This is about emotion, identity, and storytelling beyond the visual. Dakota is both contemporary and classic — much like the women who wear Roberto Coin,' the founder said. 'She's an artist, a risk-taker, and a woman of substance. Her quiet confidence and nuanced style reflect the essence of what we design: beauty with meaning. There was an instant synergy. She didn't just wear the jewelry — she understood it.'
Starting in June and running through May 2027, Johnson will appear in a new global campaign photographed by Craig McDean. Set against the historical backdrop of Venice, the campaign aims to capture the fusion of classic Italian beauty and contemporary elegance that Roberto Coin's jewelry exemplifies. For Coin, the connection to the romantic city is deeply personal. Born in Venice, the founder says the city's essence has profoundly shaped his creativity — its rich history, majestic architecture, and vibrant artistic culture have long influenced his designs and inspired many of his collections.
'I've always believed that jewelry tells a story — of who you are, where you've been, and what you love,' Johnson said in a statement. 'Roberto Coin's pieces are full of depth and meaning, and I'm honored to help bring that spirit to life through this collaboration. There's romance, strength, and bold femininity in every design.'
The campaign rolls out with both video and still photography, highlighting Johnson wearing pieces from the brand's key collections: Love in Verona, Venetian Princess, Navarra, Obelisco, Tiaré, and Cobra. Rounding out the new role, the actress will make global appearances and participate in creative initiatives, helping to share the Roberto Coin story.

They did their renos over 20 years, so all the home's features seem new

As the owner of a home staging/decorating business , Susan Crema-Martin stages homes where the look lasts only until the house sells. For her own home in East Gwillimbury, she and husband, Michael, took a long-term approach, thoughtfully planning renovations and executing them in stages over two decades. As a result, the 1998 home they purchased 22 years ago has timeless appeal, with older and newer improvements blending seamlessly. 'It's always good practice when you buy a property, to wait, live in it and feel it (before making major changes),' Crema-Martin says. The improvements she and Michael have made over time, starting with the kitchen, and, recently, to the basement, were planned to maximize function and flow. She's 'not a trendy designer person' and her home reflects traditional transitional style, combining classic style and modern elegance. Over the years, improvements have been carried out to make the kitchen the hub of the home, update bathrooms for their son and daughter, accommodate her staging business inventory, and create flow to the backyard oasis with its deck, pool, hot tub and lush gardens. Function has been the priority for each reno, such as creating direct access from the outdoor hot tub through the tiled floor laundry room to the powder room. Now that Crema-Martin's business inventory is stored at another site, the basement has been transformed into a secondary suite, adding value to the home if the Martins ever decide to sell. Crema-Martin's family is Italian, and her visits to Italy influenced her love for timeless design. That's why her kitchen cabinetry is off-white, a colour that never goes out of style, and her kitchen countertops are honed marble, a stone that's been desirable for centuries. Although some people shy away from marble because they fear it's too soft, Crema-Martin points out that Italy's historic piazzas are paved with marble that has endured for centuries. Many of the furnishings in the home are mid-century modern. It is possible to add updated or fun touches to a home without breaking the bank, says Crema-Martin. The master bedroom in her family home got a minor refresh with a feature wall created with boldly patterned peel-and-stick wallpaper, and a new light fixture. The Martins' home was featured in June on the CFUW Aurora/Newmarket Home & Garden Tour, and Crema-Martin was amused when several people complimented the 'new' kitchen reno, when it's actually 20 years old. Even though their two kids are grown and living elsewhere, the empty-nester Martins have no plans to move elsewhere, Crema-Martin says. 'We love our house. It's open. It's bright. It's our happy place.'

Man Gets Lego Gift After Fighting Brain Cancer—What He Builds Shocks Wife

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For a couple online, grand romantic gestures take focused mental work—but they are so worth it. In a TikTok video, Alli Young revealed the simple, yet elaborate, act of her husband, Brett, delivering her water bottle via a massive Lego crane—something she said truly defines their relationship. Young told Newsweek about the engineering feat that has gone viral with over 223,000 likes. "Oh, your man likes to go out and party and doesn't text you back for hours on end? That's cool, mine delivers me my water bottle via a Lego crane that he spent all weekend building," Young captioned the video, which shows the large, intricate Lego crane delivering her bottle.

The specific crane featured in the video was a Father's Day gift from her. "He spent every spare second over two days building it," Young said. "He works in construction management." While Young herself admitted she has never been into Lego, she said she deeply appreciates Brett's passion: "When he builds something he's proud of, it always makes me happy to see," she added. "It's like he gets transported back to being a little kid, and it's honestly just very fun to watch." The nine-second clip, Young said, offers a glimpse into the couple's unique dynamic. "You get a good idea of who we are, which sounds dumb, but hear me out," she added, describing Brett as "very meticulous and likes things done a certain way," while she is "the more extroverted, 'out there' one." The water-bottle delivery perfectly illustrates their balance of personalities, Young said: "Me asking him to bring me my water bottle and him using the crane to do it is his fun, playful side, but then you watch him at the end looking around the corner to make sure it makes it over the rug—back to his meticulous side showing through." Inspired by the overwhelming positive response to the video, Young said that Brett has now started his own TikTok account to show off more of his Lego collection. The story behind Brett's dedication to Lego, though, goes much deeper than just a hobby. Two years ago, their lives were shaken when they found out that Brett had a brain tumor. During his recovery from a craniotomy to remove the cancer, all of his friends put money together to buy him a huge Lego set to build while he was recovering. Young said she firmly believes that "the combination of doing something he loved and doing something to physically help his brain was what helped him heal." And, today, Brett is fully recovered, cancer-free and starting to teach the couple's 2-year-old daughter how to build small Lego sets. For Young, even though she doesn't fully understand the appeal of Lego, as she concluded: "I can see how much he loves it, which makes me love it just a little bit."
