Marke Berlin Spring 2026 Collection
As if he had known that he would be holding his show on one of the hottest days of the year, he swapped heavy wool trousers for extra-short bloomer shorts, airy balloon pants, and sportswear-inspired snap pants. The latter, of course, with fabric-covered buttons instead of press-studs, as you would expect from Keine. Suit jackets were as flowing as the collars of many tops, and the color palette ranged from white and gray to pink with accents of black. With all the beauty and the scent of lavender blossoms on the catwalk, one might forget the oppressive fear and heartbreak that the brand addressed in this collection. It was a vivid picture of forbidden love across time and class, whose relevance sadly continues to this day.

This Scottish Samurai Movie Is the Summer's Must-See Action Flick
After a 10-year hiatus, Scottish musician-turned-filmmaker John Maclean has released a follow-up to his stellar debut feature Slow West (2015). Tornado, which stars Japanese superstar Kōki, [sic] as the title character out to avenge her samurai father's death, bears many resemblances to Maclean's debut. Slow West was a downbeat, elegiac classical Western about a love-lorn Scotsman (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who travels to America to reunite with his betrothed and is assisted by a bounty hunter (Michael Fassbender) who offers him protection from marauding factions. It's a film adequately described by its title, one with no lack of action but decidedly painterly in its approach. The grisly shootouts are executed with exacting realism; they're short and brutal, hardly heroic. Tornado is cut from the same cloth—arthouse meets down and dirty exploitation—though perhaps surprisingly, Maclean's latest falls more firmly into the latter camp. The film begins in the middle, with Tornado being pursued through the Scottish Highlands (circa 1791) by a band of swarthy criminals led by Tim Roth's Sugar Man. She seeks refuge in a posh manor, which the criminals—a significant gaggle including Sugar Man's right-hand man Kitten (Rory McCann) and his son, Little Sugar (Jack Lowden), who harbors a barely concealed resentment for his father—soon invade. Suddenly, we're back at the beginning. Tornado wakes up early to assist her father, Fujin (Takehiro Ita), with his elaborate traveling puppet show, which involves blood-spewing severed limbs and a third-act samurai-sword duel between Fuji and Tornado to the delight of the assembled crowd. Bizarrely, part of the crowd includes Kitten, Little Sugar, and a few of their compatriots, who have just stolen a pot of gold and are on their way to stash it, but decide to stop off for a matinee. That's when a young scourge (Nathan Malone, credited as 'The Boy') spots the gold and steals it. But Tornado sees an opportunity to take it for herself, forever changing her and her father's fortunes. Unfortunately, Little Sugar is ahead of her game and treks after Fujin and Tornado to take the money for himself. That breakdown almost makes Tornado sound unnecessarily convoluted, but it couldn't be any simpler or more stripped down. Maclean's film is almost deceptively slight, featuring little dialogue and hardly any explanation at all for what's happening. This is a film which requires you to actively engage with it, one which tells most of its story through the silent expressions of its characters. Part of the reason this works particularly well within the context of Tornado is because, though the film is an exhilarating marvel, it's a story we've seen a thousand times before. There's no need to over-explain, or even explain, some things because if you've seen one film in this genre, you probably get it already. The cast, including a simmering Joanne Whalley and a welcome Raphaël Thiéry, is roundly up to the task. In her first major film role, Kōki, proves a formidable presence. Though she remains largely unknown around the rest of the world, in her native Japan, she's a model and singer who's achieved a level of fame on par with Taylor Swift. Roth is particularly exceptional, playing Sugar Man with a morbid subtlety which seems to hint that his character has died long before the film begins. It's a breathtaking performance which shows, once again, how eternally talented and confident Roth is as an there's any ambiguity, Tornado is a masterful picture and a delightfully immersive work. It's incredibly rare to see a film which is not only so completely sure of what it is but is constantly in concert with itself. There isn't a single moment that's out of tune, nor an image that doesn't feel a part of this world. It's at once a chase movie and a character piece, a film which rarely slows down and reinvents its simple narrative with a series of well-chosen set-piece locations. Maclean wisely withholds much of the samurai action until the last act, but when Tornado unleashes her rage, it comes fast and furious. It's both shockingly gory and smartly curtailed (no 20-minute duels here, folks), recalling classic samurai pictures in which the battles consisted of a few well-timed strokes of the blade. The utter brilliance of Maclean is that he trusts his audience and treats them with intelligence. As a result, he delivers a spare, 85-minute thriller with an abundance of toe-tapping action, but which crucially doesn't sacrifice a powerful expression of its central conceits for length. Much like Steven Soderbergh's similarly brilliant, pared-down spy thriller Black Bag from earlier this year, Tornado is a pint-sized epic. The sleek exterior belies a kaleidoscopic exploration of humanity.

The 'Fantastic Four' Mid-Credits Scene Teases Marvel's Most Exciting New Character
Spoilers below. Let's get one thing out of the way: Yes, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has two end credits scenes. In classic Marvel fashion, one appears in the middle of the credits, while another appears at the end. While the latter is an animated theme song, in an homage to the 1967 cartoon intro, the former is quite revealing. The mid-credits scene jumps ahead to four years after the Fantastic Four's victory over Galactus in New York. Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) is reading to her and Reed Richard's (Pedro Pascal) son, Franklin, at home. She gets up to find another book, but when she returns, she finds Franklin with a mysterious cloaked figure holding a mask. She looks horrified and the ominous music swells—who is this person? That's Doctor Doom. The infamous villain, also known as Victor Von Doom, is an icon both in the Fantastic Four comics and overall superhero history. The power-hungry scientific genius is known by his armor suit, mask, and green cloak. One of his biggest adversaries is the Fantastic Four's Reed Richards, as the two began as college rivals, according to Marvel. He hails from the fictional Eastern European country of Latveria (that empty chair in the United Nations scene was a subtle reference to him) and is known for his weapons, robotics, and sorcery. While this is Doom's first appearance in the current era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (he was portrayed by Julian McMahon in the 2005 and 2007 live action Fantastic Four movies), he is set to appear in the upcoming superhero crossover film Avengers: Doomsday, which debuts on Dec. 18, 2026. (A message even flashes across the screen promising that the Fantastic Four will return in Doomsday.) The best part? He'll be played by none other than Robert Downey Jr. The actor is known as Avenger leader Tony Stark/Iron Man, who died in 2019's Endgame, but with the introduction of some multiverse magic, Marvel can kind of get away with anything. Downey's casting was announced at Comic-Con in 2024, causing fans to lose their minds. He'll be joined by other big names in Doomsday, including Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Florence Pugh as Yelena, and many more, according to Deadline. Of course, Marvel's 'first family' will be there too: Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Joseph Quinn as Human Torch, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the Thing, and Kirby as the Invisible Woman. Time will tell if super-toddler Franklin will also be involved, but until then, let's hope he didn't get too close to Doom.

Bella Hadid's $50 Western Shirt Is a Transitional Wardrobe Staple
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. As a former horse girl myself, I'm living for Bella Hadid's cowgirl era. Over the past year, the model has given us a masterclass in equestrian-inspired fashion, mixing leather chaps and studded accessories with a hefty dose of denim. In a recent Instagram post, Bella topped off her rodeo duds with a Wrangler denim shirt—and you can score her exact style for just $50. Featuring yoke stitching and snap pockets on lightweight denim, Bella's shirt has all the trappings of classic cowboy style. And since the Western trend isn't going anywhere, this shirt is an easy way to infuse your wardrobe with Americana flair. Not sure how to wear it? Bella showed off two ways. First, she treats it like outerwear, leaving it unbuttoned over a delicate white eyelet dress. With fall around the corner, this layered look will come in handy when you want to keep sporting sundresses on cooler days, giving an edge (and extra warmth) to romantic silhouettes. Second, she opted for a denim-on-denim look, buttoning up the shirt and tucking it into a pair of lighter-wash jeans. A brown leather belt with a decorative Western buckle ties the whole outfit together. This riff on a Canadian tuxedo is a breeze to recreate with pieces from your own closet, and feels right on trend for fall. Since pretty much everything that Bella wears has a tendency to sell out, I was pleasantly surprised to find her exact Wrangler shirt in stock in every size. Just in case, I've rounded up a few similar styles to add to your transitional arsenal, starting at $49.
