Orlando Bloom And Kim Kardashian's Steamy Reunion Steals Spotlight During Jeff Bezos's Wedding Festivities
Orlando Bloom and Kim Kardashian have raised eyebrows with a warm and steamy reunion at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's high-profile Venice wedding festivities.
Ahead of the lavish three-day celebration from June 27 to 29, the actor greeted Kim and her family with air kisses and arms-wide hugs, igniting speculation after a candid photo captured their cozy moment.
With Bloom's split from Katy Perry still fresh, the cozy exchange with the socialite quickly became the most talked-about moment of the star-studded festivities.
On Thursday, Bloom arrived in Venice for Jeff Bezos's wedding and wasted no time exchanging pleasantries with Kim, her sister Khloe Kardashian, and her mom Kris Jenner.
Photos obtained by the Daily Mail showed the 48-year-old dressed in a casual black vest that exposed his muscular arms and shorts.
On the other hand, Kim looked chic in a tiny Balenciaga bandeau top paired with an oversized hoodie and ribbed maxi skirt.
She topped off her look with snakeskin boots and oversized sunglasses. By her side was Khloe, who donned a skin-tight leopard print catsuit.
In the snaps, Bloom arrived by boat and greeted her with a friendly kiss on the cheek and a warm hug, later continuing the affection with Khloe and Jenner.
The hearty reunion sparked a buzz considering that the 'Lord of the Rings' star was caught checking out Kim's bottom while at an event in September 2024.
The viral moment was captured in a photo during the Kering Foundation's Caring for Women Dinner in NYC.
The photo showed Bloom standing beside Perry with his hand on her lower back, while checking out Kim's famed posterior, which was accentuated by a stunning Balenciaga gown.
Although Bloom and Perry were dating at the time, the latter had no issues with her man's wandering eyes.
'I approve,' she said when she was asked about the viral picture during an appearance on the 'Elvis Duran Show.'
Perry also revealed she wasn't new to dealing with 'clickbait' headlines and controversy, so the debacle meant nothing to her. 'Oh just…17 years. 17 years of this,' she stated.
Meanwhile, Bloom will reportedly attend Bezos's wedding as a single man.
On Wednesday, reports revealed that the Hollywood star and Perry had parted ways after nearly ten years together. 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' a source told Us Weekly.
They revealed that while the pair weren't 'contentious,' Perry was still 'upset' about the breakup.
However, the insider shared that the 'Dark Horse' hitmaker was 'relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.'
According to the source, Perry was keeping herself 'busy' and 'distracted' with her tour. They also shared that the songstress will rent her Westcott Estate in Montecito.
'But her and Orlando have always lived in their other Montecito home as their primary residence,' the source continued, adding that the duo were 'planning on making the Westcott home their family home but plans have changed' as they 'have been living apart since Katy has been on tour.'
Bloom and Perry's relationship may have just ended, but rumors of relationship issues have been circulating for a while.
According to The Sun, things took a turn for the worse when Perry took part in the Blue Origin flight.
Although the movie star was present when the rocket took off into space, he reportedly disapproved of the trip.
'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face backlash," a source explained. 'He always thought it was a stupid idea, and she wouldn't get anything positive out of it."
They also explained that the actor knew Perry would receive 'backlash.'
The revelation surprised many, considering Perry had previously talked about Bloom's involvement in the trip. During a radio interview, she gushed that her ex was 'all about the journey.'
True to Orlando Bloom's reported reservations, Perry's trip to space received a ton of backlash.
While en route, she held up a daisy, seemingly honoring her and Bloom's daughter Daisy. In addition, upon her return to Earth, Perry stopped to kiss the ground.
Unfortunately, her emotional reactions were slammed as 'dramatic' and tone-deaf, given global concerns about climate and inequality.
The all-female mission, intended to celebrate women's empowerment, also drew criticism from celebrity voices, including Olivia Munn and Emily Ratajkowski, who labeled it 'gluttonous' and 'disgusting.'
Perry later admitted feeling 'battered and bruised' by social media criticism, calling herself a 'human piñata' online while thanking supportive fans and reaffirming her resilience.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos's Ongoing Fashion Fascination with Sophia Loren
By her own admission, Lauren Sánchez Bezos did not marry Jeff Bezos in the kind of gown she initially envisioned. Originally, she told Vogue's Chloe Malle that she had visions of a strapless dress. But after going on a Blue Origin space flight to the Kárman line, both her perspective about her life—and style—shifted. 'It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment,' and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,' she said. So, she researched pictures of brides from the 1950s. One in particular stuck with her: Sophia Loren's wedding dress from the 1958 movie Houseboat. 'I said, 'That's it. That's the dress.'' After several conversations with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Dolce & Gabbana made her a high lace neck mermaid-line gown with 180 hand-finished, silk chiffon-covered buttons that took over 1900 hours to make. 'The whole thing was like a dream,' Sánchez says. Loren's original—and fictional—dress was made by legendary costume designer Edith Head, who received eight Academy Awards (as well as a total of 35 nominations) and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work with Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures. She's known for crafting the clothes worn by Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's, Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief, and Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard.

In April, Sánchez attended the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in a 1994 John Galliano dress once worn by the Fellini muse. On a now-deleted Instagram post (Sanchez cleared her profile after officially marrying Bezos) she called her an 'icon of strength and timeless beauty.' It seems likely that Sánchez may have more Old Hollywood fashion nods up her (long lace) sleeves.

Rei Kawakubo redefines men's suits with radical designs at Paris Fashion Week
PARIS — Rei Kawakubo , the ever-restless force behind Comme des Garçons , delivered a characteristically unpredictable twist on men's tailoring, dismantling the traditional suit and remaking it in her own radical image. Titled 'Not Suits, But Suits,' the Paris Fashion Week show had models striding through a packed, overheated concrete venue Friday evening in looks that both nodded to and defied the idea of formalwear. Classic suit elements, jackets, lapels, pressed trousers, were reimagined with sharp, architectural interventions: bulging hips, layered or panniered silhouettes, and unexpected splashes of color. Some jackets appeared as if spliced apart and reassembled, while skinny pants revealed hidden panels and bursts of pattern through carefully placed zippers. Layering abounded, with cropped jackets stacked over pleated shirting, kilts and shorts. Knitwear was shredded and reconstructed, echoing a sense of disorder within the tailored frame. Accessories pushed the eccentricity further — models wore oversized, multi-brimmed caps crafted from suiting fabrics, paired with long braided wigs and formal shoes. The collection evoked the need for something transformative in unsettled times. Its atmosphere only heightened the collection's message: in Kawakubo's world, the suit is not a uniform of conformity but a canvas for disruption. As guests spilled out into the night, applause rang out for a designer who continues to turn fashion's certainties inside out.

BBC: Kneecap's Glastonbury set will not be live streamed but could go on-demand
Kneecap's performance at Glastonbury Festival will not be live-streamed but is likely to be made available on-demand, the BBC has said. A number of politicians have called for the Irish rap trio to be removed from the line-up and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be 'appropriate' after one of the members was charged with a terror offence. A BBC spokesperson said: 'As the broadcast partner, the BBC is bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. 'While the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines. 'We don't always live-stream every act from the main stages and look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on our digital platforms, alongside more than 90 other sets.' It is understood the BBC needs to consider the performance before making a final decision. The band said on Instagram: 'The propaganda wing of the regime has just contacted us…. 'They WILL put our set from Glastonbury today on the iPlayer later this evening for your viewing pleasure.' Liam Og O hAnnaidh, 27, was charged with allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. On June 18 the rapper, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until the next hearing at the same court on August 20. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said she thinks the BBC 'should not be showing' the group's set. In an X post from last Saturday, she said: 'The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. 'One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. 'As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism.' Ahead of the performance, Gemma Gibson, 41, from Newcastle told the PA news agency that she was 'really excited' to see Kneecap perform. Asked if their set should have been cancelled amid the ongoing controversy, she said: 'Well, that would be completely against everything that Glastonbury stands for … This is where they should be.' An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson told PA: 'Ticket-holders can once again expect to see uniformed officers on site at Glastonbury Festival 24/7 throughout the festival as part of our extensive policing operation ensuring it is safe for everyone attending, as well as those who live nearby.' Saturday has seen performances from the likes of rock band Kaiser Chiefs and US star Brandi Carlile, who released an album with Sir Elton John earlier in the year. Elsewhere, Irish singer CMAT, who played the Pyramid Stage on Friday, performed a secret set at the BBC Introducing stage. Neil Young, best known for songs such as Rockin' In The Free World, Like A Hurricane and Cinnamon Girl, will headline the festival's Pyramid Stage on Saturday night with his band the Chrome Hearts. The corporation will broadcast Young's set after previously saying it would not be shown 'at the artist's request'. On Saturday a BBC spokesperson said: 'We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC.' The set will be shown on the BBC iPlayer Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as broadcast on BBC Two and BBC Radio 2. Another act expected to draw a big crowd is Brat star Charli XCX, who will headline the Other Stage around the same time Young and Grammy Award-winning rapper Doechii will also perform. The 1975 headlined the festival's Pyramid Stage on Friday night, with the performance seeing singer Matty Healy joke he was his generation's 'best songwriter'. Friday also saw a performance from Scottish music star Lewis Capaldi who told the Glastonbury crowds 'I'm back baby' as he played a surprise set, two years after a performance at the festival during which he struggled to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms. Celebrities who have been spotted at the festival include singer Harry Styles, Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne, The Crown actor Emma Corrin, and Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn. Saturday could see highs of 26C, 'with high levels of humidity', according to the Met Office. Spokesman Grahame Madge said: 'There is always the chance of a light shower, but there is nothing in the forecast that suggests anything heavier for Saturday for Somerset.' Avon and Somerset Police have said there have been 75 reports of crimes at the festival with 20 arrests made. Performing in the coveted Sunday legends slot this year is Sir Rod Stewart, who previously said he will be joined by his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood, as well as other guests. The BBC is providing livestreams of the five main stages: Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park.
