Princess Charlotte's Wimbledon Manicure Did Not Follow the Kate Middleton-Inspired Nail Trend
Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte took a break from mother-daughter dressing at Wimbledon.
On July 13, the Princess of Wales attended the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament for the second day in a row, this time joined by her husband, Prince William, as well as her two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
While Kate, Will, and George were all dressed in shades of royal blue, Charlotte embraced Wimbledon tradition in a chic ruffled white dress and matching Mary Jane flats, abiding by the same all-white dress code as the tournament's esteemed tennis players. She polished off her look with a half-up braided hairstyle and dainty white bracelets, offering a pop of color with an unexpected manicure.
For what appears to be the first time, the 10-year-old princess was photographed wearing nail polish—and she didn't go with the trending 'princess nails' inspired by her own family tree. In multiple photos, Charlotte can be seen sporting a bright, bubble gum pink manicure.
It seems Kate Middleton is letting her daughter explore self-expression beyond the confines of royal tradition. Charlotte's late grandma, Queen Elizabeth, famously favored Essie's neutral shade Ballet Slippers, while Middleton is practically the face of 2025's reigning nail trend.
'The Royal Family tends to favor sheer, neutral shades on shorter, squoval-shaped nails,' Olive & June founder Sarah Gibson Tuttle told Harper's Bazaar in April 2023. 'It's a super-classic, clean look that looks timeless and royal appropriate. While we've all heard rumors of rules, I know royal nails are always pretty, polished, and perfectly manicured.'
Nailed It
'Princess Nails' Are the Barely-There Manis Taking Over Your FYPs
Short but sweet.
Senior royals rarely venture beyond natural nail shades, immediately making headlines whenever they break away from that perceived standard. Of course, Princess Charlotte is just 10 years old, and there's probably nothing less exciting to a preteen than the idea of a sheer nude manicure. Honestly, same.

‘The Odyssey' Sold Tickets a Year in Advance and Things Got Crazy
The Odyssey tells the story of one man's long journey home after the Trojan War. And while the journey to Christopher Nolan's adaptation won't be nearly as perilous, it is certainly off to quite the start. The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites. Surely, no one would sell tickets for a movie a year in advance, right? Only that's exactly what happened. And it got a little crazy. At midnight ET on July 17, IMAX and others quietly announced via social media that tickets for 'the first IMAX 70mm screenings for one year from now' were now on sale. Sixteen theaters in the U.S., six in Canada, two in the U.K., and one in the Czech Republic simultaneously released tickets for only a handful of shows (usually one per day), and they basically all sold out in minutes. Places like New York, where only one theater is on sale, were much quicker. In Los Angeles, where there are multiple theaters, it took closer to an hour for everything to sell out. But, as of this morning, basically everything is gone, unless you want to sit in the front row or something like that. Why those theaters? Well, these are the only theaters currently capable (that may change in the next year) of showing The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm. It's the first theatrical film to ever be fully captured with IMAX 70mm cameras, so the entire film will be presented multiple stories tall in 1.43:1 for its entire runtime. It'll play in normal theaters too, as well as other premium formats, but this is the main one, and it's historic. Earlier this week, when io9 inquired with Fandango, IMAX, and Universal Pictures about the ticket sale, no one replied. That led us to believe this was a large, secret stunt everyone preferred to keep a lid on. Something possibly even tied to the online release of the teaser trailer that's currently playing only in theaters. However, as of publication, that trailer still isn't online, so rumors of the event being driven more by IMAX than Universal seem to have some merit. A few things almost immediately happened once tickets sold out, though. First, scalpers began trying to sell tickets for the showtimes at super inflated prices. Second, many fans felt incredibly disappointed that, this far out, they've already been shut out of seeing Nolan's latest in his preferred format. What's important to remember about both of these things is that these are not the only showtimes. These are just 'the first IMAX 70mm screenings' and only at these specific theaters. Yes, a few primetime showtimes on the film's opening next weekend next year are now sold out. But the film won't just be playing only once per day. In fact, there's a good chance some theaters will show the film around the clock on opening weekend if there's demand for it. And, with sellouts a year in advance, there sure seems to be demand for it. So, if you weren't able to get tickets for one of these screenings, don't fret, and definitely don't buy scalped tickets. In the next year, some fans may have other things come up and be forced to return tickets. IMAX is already working on building new theaters that'll support this format, so be on the lookout for those. Also, many, many other theaters and showtimes will appear as the film's release date approaches. Part of the reason IMAX only sold select showtimes is Nolan is still making the movie. He doesn't know how long it's going to be yet and probably won't know for months. Then, once it is, you can be sure more showtimes will be added in all formats. In the end, though, whoever came up with this plan is surely patting themself on the back. This was an attempt to get some publicity and showcase demand for premium formats as one giant stunt. And it worked. We're talking about The Odyssey a year in advance, during production, and already the IMAX 70mm experience is whipping people into a frenzy. Plus, it also made history by being the first movie ever to sell tickets a year ahead of release. Movies that open this August haven't grossed a dime yet. But The Odyssey has. Were you able to get tickets to The Odyssey? Have a bad experience? Let us know below. Want more io9 news?

This erotic dream turned nightmare may have inspired ‘Frankenstein'
Great Works, In Focus • #196 This erotic dream turned nightmare may have inspired 'Frankenstein' Henry Fuseli scandalized London, but his painting of a demonic visitor quickly became popular across art and culture. Expand the image Click to zoom in Column by Sebastian Smee July 17, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. EDT 4 minutes ago 3 min Chest pressure. You feel it at night, never quite knowing if its source is physical, psychological or some fiendish amalgam of both. You try to breathe deeply, but there's a heavy, invisible presence constricting your torso. You're like a cyclist pushing, pushing for the crest of the hill and a rush of descent that never comes. Emotion rises in your throat. Feelings of hopelessness. Your body is stretched, tensed, on the rack … Pardon the flight of fancy. But I'm trying to think through — or feel through — this shamelessly gratuitous painting by Henry Fuseli. 'The Nightmare' hangs in the Detroit Institute of Arts, as shocking and inexplicable as when Fuseli (1741-1825), a Swiss-born artist living in England, first presented it publicly at the Royal Academy in 1782. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement In his public lectures, Fuseli was a proponent of neoclassicism — of order and tradition, of everything being accorded its correct proportions. But he was really a hidden romanticist, a close friend of William Blake, eager to indulge inner visions, erotic fancies and his personal penchant for excess and extremity. As a young man, he'd been forced by his father — a portrait painter — to train as a Protestant minister. But he found himself in hot water after exposing a corrupt local magistrate in an ill-tempered pamphlet and had to leave Zurich. In 1765, he settled in London, where he was befriended by the painter Joshua Reynolds, who encouraged Fuseli to commit himself to painting and to train in Rome, where he lived for the next eight years. High on Michelangelo and the late-16th-century mannerists, Fuseli became an influential figure among the expatriate artists who flocked to Rome. Returning to Switzerland, he became besotted with the niece of his friend, Johann Kaspar Lavater. But his marriage proposal was rejected by her father, so Fuseli repaired to London and painted 'The Nightmare.' Often interpreted as a reference to his unconsummated love affair, it shows a viciously leering incubus squatting on the torso of a young woman in a diaphanous white dress. She is suggestively stretched out on a bed, her tossed-back head and vulnerable neck dangling over the side. A spectral, white-eyed horse — thought to have been painted in later — peers in on the scene, almost comically, through dark red curtains. The painting, though scandalous (William Hazlitt called it 'a nightmare on the breast of British art'), quickly became popular. It is said to have inspired aspects of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' and countless imitators and parodists since. The picture cries out for interpretation (it's in no way surprising to learn that Sigmund Freud hung an engraving of 'The Nightmare' on the walls of his Vienna apartment), and yet it stubbornly resists attempts to say anything definitive about it. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement The painting's eroticism is blatant. Almost everything in it has a fetishistic quality: the hanging tassel; the pointed toe; the tumbling hair; the pink-and-gold fabric spilling out from under her hips; her hanging hand, its limp fingers curled where they softly meet the floor. But it's a disturbed eroticism, with a thwarted, sinister character. The woman is all taut, sinuous curves and linear flow; you feel she might have been poured into the picture from the left. But that leering incubus is going nowhere, and his chilling stare, aimed directly at us, blocks the dream's unfolding, crushing eros into a malign murkiness, and leaving us gasping for air.

Odyssey fans baffled by resale movie tickets going for $400 a year before film's highly anticipated release
IMAX tickets for Christopher Nolan's next epic, The Odyssey, are already being resold for upwards of $500, after selling out within hours of their release. Advanced tickets for the Oscar-winning director's forthcoming movie, starring Matt Damon, Zendaya, and Tom Holland, went on sale at midnight Thursday — an entire year before its July 17, 2026, debut. Premiere screenings are taking place across the globe next year — in select U.S. and Canadian cities, as well as London, Melbourne, and Prague — at theaters equipped with IMAX 70mm screens. Some lucky fans on Reddit managed to snag single tickets for around $32, plus fees. However, by Thursday afternoon, scalpers were already listing them on sites like eBay for much more. 'The Odyssey 70mm IMAX tickers are already going for $500 buy now on eBay I hope you're proud of yourselves IMAX rollout team,' one irritated fan wrote on X. Matt Damon leads 'The Odyssey' as the Greek hero Odysseus (Universal) A quick search of eBay did, in fact, reveal a listing for two reserved seats to a July 19, 2026 showing. The seller has the two tickets listed for $399. 'The Odyssey tickets have already hit eBay. Good grief!' a second noted, while a third found it 'insane that [tickets] are already being sold for double what it is retail price.' A fan has already posted two tickets to a July 2026 viewing of 'The Odyssey' on eBay for $399 (eBay) 'Someone is trying to resell 2x BFI IMAX 70mm tickets for The Odyssey for £94 Great British Pounds! These tickets are for second row seats right against the wall… THE AUDACITY,' a fourth added. 'That resale pic of Odyssey tickets can't be real. Who the hell is reselling movie tickets lmfaoooo,' another laughed. The Independent has contacted IMAX for comment. The decision to sell tickets this early seems to be strategic, despite being unprecedented. After the success of Nolan's previous Oscar-winning feature Oppenheimer, which grossed $975.8 million globally and made over $190 million of its revenue from IMAX screenings alone, it can be assumed that studios and theaters would prefer to lean further into that demand. Earlier this year, it was reported that The Odyssey is being shot entirely on IMAX cameras, the first commercial feature film to do so. The new IMAX cameras, which are reportedly lighter and 30 percent quieter, eliminate the usual problems that come with traditional film and digital cameras, like scanning and processing of the film stock. They also allow the director to easily watch dailies while filming. The Odyssey, which is still filming, is an adaptation of Homer's epic Greek poem. The story follows Odysseus (Matt Damon), king of Ithaca, as he journeys home after the Trojan War. However, his expedition proves perilous as he has to battle numerous threats and mythological creatures. Holland has been cast as Odysseus's son Telemachus, while Charlize Theron has been cast as the goddess Circe. Zendaya's role has yet to be announced, and the characters played by Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, and Anne Hathaway also remain unknown. Other recent casting announcements include Mia Goth, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, Benny Safdie, and Elliot Page. The Odyssey will be released in theaters on July 17, 2026. Solve the daily Crossword
