is returning to the spotlight.
The Harry Potter actress made her return to the 2025 Cannes Film Festival after a 12-year absence, putting her chic festival style on display as she arrived at the Nice Airport May 20.
Emma wore a floral skirt, black sweater and dark sunglasses paired with black flats as she hopped off the plane. She later traded in the look for another spring ensemble while at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, donning a sleeveless red and white checker print dress and a pair of boots. Keeping the Parisian sun out of her eyes, Emma rocked a pair of aviator style sunglasses.
For her last appearance at the festival in 2013, Emma showcased her style in pieces by Louis Vuitton and Chanel as she promoted the Sofia Coppola film, The Bling Ring. Aside from occasional film appearance including in 2019's Little Women, Emma—who is dating —has maintained a life out of the spotlight as works to obtain her master's degree in literature from Oxford University.

Prior to her time in Cannes, Emma was spotted over the Valentine's Day weekend at the 2025 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Oakland, Calif. In a clip shot by the ESPN TikTok account, the Circle actress was dressed casual in an all-black outfit as she blew a kiss to the camera.
Emma—who graduated from Brown University in 2014—made it clear that she's happy with her decision to fall back from the public eye and acting after years of being into the spotlight.
'I get a front row seat [with] some of the most successful, beautiful, incredible people in the world,' she explained to British Vogue in 2023. 'And when you have that seat it becomes very, very clear that there is just absolutely no level of success that will make you in any way happy or content if you do not like who you are or enjoy what you're doing when no one's watching.'

New Skims face wrap promises 'jaw support' — can Kim Kardashian's latest shapewear really change your face?

The face wrap, which has already sold out online, comes in two colors and is sold for $48. Kim Kardashian's shapewear company Skims isn't just lifting butts and boobs — it's also supporting your jaw. At least that's the idea behind the company's new product, the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap. The wrap, which looks like a postsurgical compression garment, is described on the Skims website as their 'first-ever face innovation.' It comes in two of the brand's famous neutral colors: clay and cocoa. 'This must-have face wrap boasts our signature sculpting fabric and features collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support,' the site reads. 'Velcro closures at the top and nape of the neck allow for easy, everyday wear.' Currently the brand is retailing the product for $48, and both colors are already sold out online. Skims has not specifically claimed that this product can change the shape of your face. However, over on the brand's Instagram, influencer Jasmine Alisha tried on the garment for her 'morning shed' — aka her morning routine in which she removes nighttime products like lip masks and hair bonnets in order to reveal glowy skin and hair. In the video, Alisha says, 'Shout-out to Skims for giving me this snatched jawline.' She also called out how the product is 'infused with collagen,' though it's unclear exactly what this means or what Skims claims it will do. Skims states on its website that the garment is infused with 'collagen yarn' but also that it is made from 81% polyamide and 19% elastane, synthetic fibers commonly used in stretchy clothing. Yahoo reached out to Skims via email to request more information about the mask, including what collagen yarn is and whether Skims had conducted any trials on the wrap to test its effectiveness. A spokesperson replied that the company is "unable to provide comment at this time." While this may be the brand's first face wrap, Skims is not the only company selling this type of garment. Skin Gym sells a similar product, which the company claims can 'sculpt and support your jawline while you sleep' as well as 'reduce the appearance of puffiness, ease facial tension, and enhance the appearance of more defined features for a well-rested, lifted look.' Meanwhile, one silicone face wrap sold on Amazon claims to be a 'double chin reducer' and 'jawline shaper,' while a second, similar product sold on Amazon says it can be used for 'jawline tightening.' What do experts think about the face wrap? So far Skims has not offered details on the science behind the wrap, but experts who spoke to Yahoo voiced skepticism about its ability to change one's face shape the way Alisha's Instagram post suggested. New York City dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner told Yahoo that in theory compression could change one's face shape — but the garment would have to be worn over time. During the natural aging process, he explained, collagen production slows down, and the skin becomes weaker and 'starts to sag.' 'The effects of gravity do add to this, and, theoretically, using a compression garment like this from a very early age may give some modest benefit, because the skin is not experiencing those effects of gravity as much,' said Zeichner. But Dr. Stafford Broumand of 740 Park Plastic Surgery said that people hoping for major transformations of their face from this product may be disappointed. Broumand said that the face wrap is essentially a compression garment, much like the ones people use after having procedures like a facelift in order to reduce swelling and aid in the healing process. He said that people may notice a change in their facial appearance after removing the face wrap, the same way you might notice a reduction in swelling after you remove a compression from any part of your body. However, he stressed that this would be a temporary change. In order to get a true tightening effect, Broumand said, surgical options — such as a deep plane facelift, which Kardashian's mom, Kris Jenner, is rumored to have gotten herself — are what will offer the most dramatic results. Ultimately, Broumand said, clinical trials are the only way to know for sure if the product works as Skims claims it does. Zeichner said that while this product may not be the solution to a sagging face, it could help people who recently had a facial tightening procedure done in order to potentially maximize their results, noting 'there is a theoretical role for compression after those types of procedures, perhaps to provide enhanced outcomes.' However, he said, 'results will be modest.' 'This type of product coming to the market and getting such attention shows the focus that even younger people are having on aging the best that they can,' Zeichner said. 'And if you are concerned, then touch base with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see what's right for you. The earlier we address signs of aging the better.' Not all customers are convinced either The new Skims face wrap has also prompted skepticism from some potential customers. In the comments section of the initial Instagram post by Skims, people accused the company of playing into their customers' insecurities in order to make a profit, with one user calling it 'proof that women's insecurities are a billion-dollar industry and celebrities continue to abuse this fact to profit.' Meanwhile, another joked, 'Just dropped — new invention to make women feel insecure for no reason.' Others called out the brand for raising 'beauty standards' and charged that Skims has been 'making women feel bad about themselves since 2018.' And one asked, 'If this works so well, why didn't Kris Jenner use this instead of spending thousands of dollars on a facelift?' referring to recent statements by Jenner's reps confirming that she received a facial refresh from Dr. Steven Levine last year. Some people online, however, noted that the face wrap might have some noncosmetic purpose: 'I have a connective tissue disorder that caused TMJ and my jaw recesses at night, which causes mouth breathing + allergies so I am actually stoked for this!' one person wrote in the Instagram comments. A second added, 'This isn't new. People who suffer from burns on neck and face have worn these before in the U.K.'

Harry Potter Theme Park Is Finally Coming To Abu Dhabi — Warner Bros. Confirms 2025 Reveal

Few brands have as much untapped potential in the theme park industry as Harry Potter. More than 600 million books about the boy wizard have been sold whilst the 11 movies about them have grossed $9.7 billion and the latest Potter videogame generated $850 million in just its first two weeks. Given this spellbinding performance you would expect to find Potter theme park attractions in all corners of the world but actually only three countries have them. That is set to change soon. Back in November 2022, Warner Bros., the studio which makes the Potter movies, announced that a land based on J.K. Rowling's stories would be coming to its theme park on Abu Dhabi's Yas Island. It ushered in a whole new world as Warner had previously partnered exclusively with Universal Studios on Potter attractions in its theme parks in the United States, China and Japan. They cast a powerful spell with attendance surging on the opening of the lands and the expansions to them. There is good reason for this. The lands are home to life-size recreations of legendary locales such as Harry's alma mater Hogwarts Castle and the Dickensian Diagon Alley. They are accompanied by first-of-their-kind rides including one which is attached to a robot arm on a roller coaster track to make guests feel like they are riding on a broomstick alongside the stars of the movies. Another is an innovative roller coaster that turns to face soaring 3D screens showing Potter and his chums being chased through the vaults of Gringotts bank. The latest attraction charts their exploits in an enchanted elevator – actually a ride car which rises and falls as it roves around. When the first Potter land swung open its doors in 2010 at Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando, the only Warner Bros. theme parks were in Spain and Australia. Although they are attractive, they aren't industry leaders so didn't make ideal homes for such a storied brand as Potter. Indeed, in 2001 Warner Bros. Movie World in Australia opened a walk-through attraction featuring sets from the Potter films but that didn't last long and closed in 2003 to make way for an exhibit based on the Matrix movies. This landscape changed in 2018 with the debut of Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi on Yas Island. The indoor park quickly won praise for its meticulous attention to detail and immersive theming. Instead of giving guests a tour behind the scenes of films, as was commonly the case in movie parks, Warner Bros. World puts visitors in recreations of the worlds where characters from the silver screen are meant to live. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Thanks to its indoor setting, the park is home to even more intricate details than Universal and Disney parks which are exposed to the elements. Ingeniously, the park also hides the ride buildings behind internal walls to immerse guests in a fantasy world in a way which outdoor parks cannot match. You usually know what you're in for when you head towards a theme park ride as a hulking building looms beyond the entrance. It breaks the fantasy and spoils the surprise. Not at Warner Bros. World. The elaborate entrances to many of its rides are set inside full-size houses, caves and towers which line the internal walls. The buildings blend into the landscape and this has an enchanting effect. Not only does it hide the rides but it makes the ride entrances seem like portals to different worlds. It doesn't stop there. An abundance of cloud-shaped lights ensures that the lands where animated characters live are bright and cheery as time is meant to be frozen at midday. In contrast, the gloomy atmosphere and soot-stained skyscrapers of Gotham City reflect the fact that every clock is set to just after midnight when Batman begins his nightly crime fighting capers. Over in Superman's home of Metropolis, the domed ceiling is covered in clever projections and paintings of a sky at golden hour which seems to stretch endlessly into the horizon. No stone has been left unturned as windows of artificial buildings have curtains and flower boxes, manhole covers are set into the floor and custom scents waft through the air in each land, from warm woody notes to sweet candy aromas. As this report explained, the wizards who developed Warner Bros. World come from Thinkwell, a division of design giants TAIT. Founded in 2001 by former Universal Studios park designers who didn't want to relocate when the company moved its creative team from the west coast to Orlando, Thinkwell went on to develop some of the industry's most immersive and engaging attractions. It has designed attractions for Universal Studios Singapore and the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Hollywood but perhaps its best-known work is across the pond. In 2012 Warner launched a backstage tour of Britain's Leavesden Studios where all eight Harry Potter movies were made. It takes guests deep behind the scenes of them showcasing concept art for the characters, models of all sizes, costumes complete with video descriptions and of course props. They range from rows and rows of wands to cabinets containing full-size robotic creatures from the films which move at the push of a button. There are no rides but plenty of photo opps in front of green screens which insert guests into scenes from the films. Then come the sets. Guests can step into the famed Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, pull up a squealing shrub from its greenhouse and walk through Harry's foster family's house. The sets are all either the actual ones that Daniel Radcliffe and co walked on or are replicas based on the original blueprints from the movies. They look even more authentic than the lands at Universal's parks and as this report revealed, it has been a dream ticket for Warner. So successful indeed that it has spawned a second site in Tokyo with another in Shanghai on the way. Using Thinkwell to design Warner Bros. World was a no-brainer for Miral, Abu Dhabi's government backed theme park operator. As this author has reported, Miral has gained a reputation as the leader in its field alongside Disney and Universal. This is thanks to its tireless quest for quality in order to maximise the number of visitors who stream through its turnstiles. Its ultimate objective isn't purely about ticket sales as the Abu Dhabi government is developing leisure facilities, such as theme parks, to diversify its economy away from fossil fuels due to its dwindling reserves. The grander the parks are and the bigger the brands they are based on, the greater the number of visitors they attract and the more diverse Abu Dhabi's economy becomes. Potter is the logical step in this process as its stories have such a wide fanbase. It takes more than the wave of a magic wand to create new attractions which live up to Miral's lofty standards and the 2022 Potter announcement stressed that the groundbreaking date was "yet to be revealed." Since then, fans have been clamouring to know when they would find out more but Miral has remained tight lipped. Until now. In a recent interview with this author, Miral's dynamic chief executive Mohamed Al Zaabi revealed that 'there will be a great announcement this year with a great milestone. Stay tuned, you will hear good news. I'm very excited about it, the project is moving in the right direction and I can't wait to open that expansion.' It isn't clear which company is designing Miral's Potter area but Thinkwell would be the logical choice given its work on Warner Bros. World and the Tours. Indeed, what Universal's lands lack is the Tour's authenticity and what the Tour lacks is rides so Abu Dhabi could offer the best of both worlds. With the government's deep pockets, the designers could use every trick in their spell books to conjure up the definitive Potter area. Middle East business title MEED recently claimed that it will include "three new rides, retail outlets, and food and beverage facilities". It added that the value of the construction contract is between $545 million and $816 million and the area will add 40,000 square meters to the footprint of Warner Bros. World, which is an increase of around 26%. The report suggested that Canadian engineering firm EllisDon is the project consultant while French firm Egis is the lead designer. It added that Emirates Electrical & Instrumentation Company, is already working on the project along with another local firm NSCC International, which is reportedly carrying out enabling works. It is important to note that construction projects in Abu Dhabi display signs showing the contractors and no photos have been published of one stating that it is for the Potter area. Themeparx, the leading source of theme park construction photos, posted an image of a sign which states that it relates to the 'Warner Bros. World Phase 2 Expansion' though this doesn't necessarily include Potter. The reason for this is that Miral has also announced that two new attractions will be added to Warner Bros. World's DC comics superheroes lands. Themeparx noted that there may already be evidence of where the entrance to one of these new rides will be located as a washroom area between Metropolis and Gotham City has been closed off with temporary banners saying 'Lexcorp' – the company run by Superman's arch-enemy Lex Luthor In response to MEED's initial report about the Potter construction bid submissions, Miral said that it "does not comment on speculative and inaccurate information from unknown sources." It is unclear what aspect of the article Miral was referring to though there is no doubt that it was not entirely accurate. That's because the article also stated that "the Abu Dhabi project will be the world's sixth Harry Potter-themed park. The others are in Florida and California in the US, Beijing in China, Osaka in Japan and Leavesden in the UK," the latter of which is not a theme park. What is for certain is that the Abu Dhabi Potter area, whatever form it takes, has had a long lead time. As far back as January 2023 Al Zaabi told this author that "my team, they are going in and out the US to go through many stages of design and many drafts and versions...I'm sure the quality of the master plan, the quality of the design, will be either at the same level or I'm pushing my team to be even better than what you have seen in Warner Bros." He added that the Potter area "will be a gamechanger for us." The high caliber of Warner Bros. World convinced the studio to entrust perhaps its most beloved Intellectual Property (IP) to Miral making it the only theme park operator outside Universal with Potter rides. In 2023 Al Zaabi revealed to this author that the "discussion started in 2018, literally one hour before the grand opening on 24th July. Kevin [Tsujihara] was here, at that time, he was chairman of Waner Bros. Mohamed Al Mubarak, His Excellency, our chairman, and Pam Lifford [president of consumer products] from Warner Bros, she was there. And myself and my team, Peter [van Roden, Warner Bros. senior vice president of global themed entertainment], was there as well. And we discussed, okay, what's next? "And we said, okay, let's do market research, see what's the right IP for this region. We did a very thorough study, and Harry Potter came out on top of the list of that study. We did a study in India, we did a study in China, in Europe, and this region, the GCC. And the result was Harry Potter. It took us some time to discuss, agree on commercial. But I think what helped us to close that deal is Warner Bros. they saw the quality of what we can deliver and the quality of the service and operation." Although it is unknown when Potter's new area will open, Abu Dhabi is already rolling out the red carpet for him. Earlier this week Harry Potter: The Exhibition opened on the city's museum district Saadiyat Island. It is the exhibition's first-ever stop in the Middle East and gives guests a close up look at props from the films as well as an opportunity to take part in iconic activities from them such as mixing potions or scoring at Quidditch. It runs until September 21 and earlier that month the Harry Potter Film Concert Series will come to Yas Island's Etihad Arena. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets will be shown on a soaring 40-foot screen whilst the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra plays John Williams' sweeping score. It could prove to be a blessing in disguise that Miral has spent so long giving a magic touch to its Potter plans. Since they came to light in 2022, Warner has announced that it will reboot the series with new actors on its HBO streaming platform in 2027. It could cast a dark spell on Universal's Potter attractions as they all heavily feature the stars and sets from the original films. However, Abu Dhabi might want to integrate the new actors in its attractions from the start if the new show is a success. There has of course been another significant development since Yas Island's Potter attraction was announced. As this report forecast, a Disney park will be coming to Abu Dhabi over the coming years so the Potter site will have to be substantial enough to compete with that. We will soon find out what tricks are up its sleeve.

People Who Dated (And Even Married) Their Ex's Siblings Are Sharing The Stories Of How It All Went Down, And Oh...My God

If you're like me, then you're probably obsessed with the love triangle drama in The Summer I Turned Pretty — aka a show where the main character dates two brothers and over the course of three seasons has to decide which one is the love of her life. And it got me thinking about how people in real life would handle the situation of dating your ex's sibling. A while ago, Reddit user u/shampoo_mohawk_ asked: "People who have dated or even married the sibling of an ex, how did that go? How did it affect the siblings/rest of the family?" Here are the wildest responses: 1."My dad dated BOTH of my mom's sisters before he dated her. As long as I can remember, everything's basically been cool. We all got along great, never any awkwardness, which may be because it was already like six years in the past by the time I was even born." —[deleted] 2."I had a pretty big crush on a guy, and we made out once or twice. Then, 10 years later, I end up marrying his brother. My partner asked me once, when he was wasted, if I had f*cked his brother. I was really relieved that I could honestly say no to that one." "I love his brother's wife to freaking pieces also. The brother and I don't talk about the past. We were kids, and then we grew up. We're two different people now, and it isn't really a big deal. Although... sometimes I think about how hilariously awkward it is that I actually know which one has the bigger d*ck." —HauntingPanda 3."My grandfather's mom died when he was one year old, and his aunt moved in to help with the kids. One thing led to another, and she married his father. So basically, my grandfather's stepmom was also his aunt. And he has no memories of his biological mom. It went pretty well as far as I've heard, but there could hardly be any conflict with one of the siblings dying being the main reason it happened." —Binnut 4."I had a friend that I wanted to be more than friends with, but she was hesitant. We remained good friends, but I ended up dating her younger sister. The older sis got really upset over it and broke off contact with me." —lobster_conspiracy 5."My grandma met my grandpa and had two babies with him. She left him because he was abusive, and they shared custody of my mom and aunt. About 10 years later, she hooked up with my grandpa's brother and had a baby with him, and he is named after his dad. At a family reunion of my grandpa's side of the family, at the age of 22, I finally learned why my cousin doesn't have the same grandpa as I do." "We are all fine, I think. We all make fun of it and find it hilarious. My grandma is very proud of her actions, though, and is always excited to talk to my boyfriend and his family about it. I know my great aunt hates my grandma, and that's about as dramatic as it gets with her." —goshdarnkids 6."When my grandma was 20, she got married to a very nice guy. Together, they had a son. When my cousin was two years old, his dad died. My grandma, now a single mom, raised her son for three years, until her son's grandparents (her husband's parents) told her they would be taking her son to raise him. My grandma would have had no choice but to give them her son. Until her brother-in-law tells her that he will marry her and support her and his nephew. My grandparents were married for almost 60 years and had 11 more kids. My uncle always felt like he didn't belong in the family, even though my grandpa loved him so much." —[deleted] 7."My dad started dating my uncle's ex. It caused a huge rift, and everyone expected my uncle to just be cool with it. He hopped on a bus out of town and hasn't spoken to anyone in, like, three years." —oceantyp3 8."A really good friend of mine dated a guy who cheated on her with her sister. They broke things off for a few months, he apologized, and then they decided to try again. A month in, and she found out he was cheating again with the same sister. Turns out he got the sister pregnant. My friend really hated her sister and the thought of a baby being involved for a long time. Now the guy is no longer in the picture, she's forgiven her sister, and she adores her nephew. I'm glad it worked out for her, but I don't know if I'd be able to mend things after that." —Jill-Sanwich 9."So, my mom married my dad, had me and my sister, then got divorced when I was 8. A year or so later, my mom started dating my dad's brother (my uncle), he moved in with us, and eventually they got married (I was probably 20 at that point). My uncle has been my stepdad longer than he was my uncle. My cousins are also my step-siblings, but we still refer to them as cousins and refer to my uncle as my stepdad. But their kids refer to my mom as grandma. It's all confusing, and we never really questioned it. My stepdad has been there and has done more for raising me and my sister than my dad has. My mom and he go to our family dinners and holidays along with my dad and stepmom. It's I guess." —qubix85 10."My grandmother married my grandfather, who had dated her sister previously. My great aunt said, verbatim, 'I couldn't stand his ass.' My grandmother should have taken her advice because he abandoned the family when his daughter was 10 weeks old to run off with another woman. Years after that daughter passed away in a hit-and-run, he was able to weasel his way into an insurance class-action lawsuit my grandmother was involved in, and collect on his daughter's name even though he hadn't seen her in over twenty years. I never met him, and he died about ten years ago, abandoned by his family because he was such an asshole." —GhostBeefSandwich 11."My stepmom met my uncle back in the early '80s. They dated for a while, and in 1986, she gave birth to a little boy. They never got married. A year or two later, they broke up, and the woman I called my 'aunt' was now dating my dad (my uncle's younger brother). My dad was divorcing my mother when I was three, because my mother caught my dad cheating with Aunt, who was her best friend. Dad and Aunt dated for several years and got married when I was 7. Family functions were tense for the first few years. But they have been married for over 25 years now. So, I can't hate that she made my dad happier than my mom did. The running joke was that she is AuntMom and her son (my step-brother) is my "brousin". We don't tell that joke to my step-mom within earshot, though." —[deleted] 12."My mom was married to my dad's older brother before she married my dad. My mom's first marriage (to my uncle) didn't work because they're basically the same person, and neither of them could deal with the pain in the ass parts of themselves in another person. They didn't have any children. They were only married for two years, and they were in their early 20s. They're much better off as friends and are friends to this day. There was a lot of time between the marriages, like eight years, so everyone had time to get over it. My dad and his brother are as close as they always have been." "My grandmother is an absolute saint and has never, ever said a cross word about my mom. The only person who ever really had a problem with it was my granddad, and he died two years before my mom married my dad. My granddad wasn't pleasant to my mother after she divorced his oldest son (my uncle, and the golden child), and didn't live long enough to see her marry his middle son. I didn't find out about any of this until I was 12 years old. No one intentionally hid it from me; it was just such a non-issue for everyone that it never came up." —shortstack1386 13."I'm a twin, and my wife briefly dated my brother before me. It was comical and a bit of a joke now, but nobody cares. Actually, at my wedding, I was up at the bar, and my wife and brother were still sitting at the head table. People started clinking their glasses, so my brother leaned in and kissed her on her cheek." —A_Two_Slot_Toaster 14."My mom has three older sisters and three older brothers. She's the youngest of seven. Apparently, my oldest aunt married my uncle, but originally, when he called the house, he wanted to speak with the 2nd oldest sister, but the oldest picked up the phone. They went out on a date, eventually got married, and had 3 kids. All those kids are grown up now and have their own kids. They're living a happy life ~40 years later with grandkids. It became a joke more than anything that originally the (now) uncle called for the other sister to take on a date. My 2nd-oldest aunt has her own husband and family, too." —[deleted] finally, "My family is from India, and all of my aunts and uncles had arranged marriages. My dad has seven siblings. My eldest aunt was engaged to a Canadian-born Indian man; basically, the jackpot back then. He flew over for the wedding, saw my youngest aunt, and asked to marry her instead. Since my grandparents were super poor and had already spent money on the wedding, they agreed. My aunts haven't spoken in 45 years." —monstersof-men Responses have been edited for length/clarity.
