Attending the Dior Men Show With Sam Nivola
' It's been really cool getting to sort of joyride in the fashion world,' says Nivola on Friday from Paris, shortly after the show. 'I don't know very much about fashion or about fashion history. I'm learning so much, so quickly; it's a whole new art form.'

The actor and the designer have become 'fast friends,' and Nivola lavished praise upon the collection. 'I'm so proud and impressed, because it's a momentous thing. This is a big deal. And he did such a good job, and the clothes are amazing. They're just gorgeous and beautiful and everyone looks amazing in them.'
Speaking of the clothes, Nivola attended the show dressed in a white cable knit sweater embroidered with pink tulips, white cargo shorts, a pearl necklace with floral charms and pink sunglasses and suede sneakers.
' I love classic clothes,' said Nivola, describing the collection as an 'amazing renaissance of the brand.'
'Jonathan's style matches mine really perfectly, because it's timeless. It's clothes that look beautiful, and an homage to the '60s and to this old world of Dior that values elegance and class, over making a statement about nothing.'
Ahead of the show, Dior released a short editorial video clip starring Nivola. In it, the actor lounges in a sunny field of wildflowers at Versailles, dandelion in hand, outfitted in a Dior-embroidered sweater and accessories.
' We were shooting in The Queen's Hamlet — Marie Antoinette's Hamlet — within Versailles, which is this little fake town that she had built because she felt like the palace was too grand, and she wanted to live like a normal person,' said Nivola, who filmed the clip around a month ago. 'It was gorgeous, and totally matched [Anderson's] vibe and the vibe of the clothes.'
The actor was making the most of his quick trip to Paris, visiting a museum and going out to dinner around show duties.
'Sometimes when you travel to a place for a day or two for work, it's a real pain … and you just don't wanna do anything and you just wanna stay in your room — especially when the hotel is as nice as the one they put me in,' said Nivola, adding that he was currently on his hotel balcony taking in views of the Eiffel Tower. 'Something about Paris makes you really want go out and explore, even when you're jet-lagged beyond belief and just want to take a Tylenol PM.'
The morning after the Dior show, Nivola was headed to the Glastonbury Festival to meet up with his girlfriend, Iris Apatow, to see some of their friends perform at the music festival.
' I'm half English, but I've never been to Glastonbury, so that's gonna be a blast,' he said.
Afterward, it was back to summer in New York. 'I'm gonna try and enjoy a little break, because I've been working a lot the past few years,' said Nivola. 'I pay a lot of rent in New York, and I wanna be in my apartment for more than a week at a time. So I'll enjoy the stifling heat for a little while, and then hopefully go to work sometime in the fall.'

CD Projekt Red Announces ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2' at Anime Expo
CD Projekt Red is returning to the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners universe with a new stand-alone entry, which the game developer announced alongside the anime series' showrunner during a panel at Anime Expo on Friday. The video game developer will once again partner with the animation studio Trigger for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, which, like its predecessor, will stream on Netflix. An official logo and poster art were shared as part of CD PROJEKT RED's 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners — Behind the Scenes With its Creators,' with a promise that later in the day, Trigger would tease new footage for the series at the Peacock Theater as part of its own panel. More from The Hollywood Reporter Netflix Is Shark-Attacking Discovery and Nat Geo This Summer The Front Man Speaks: 'Squid Game' Star Lee Byung-hun Unpacks His Character's Mysterious Inner Thoughts 'The Residence' Was Mostly Good, But It Didn't Quite Earn a Second Season The series will serve as a new 10-episode stand-alone story set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, and asks the question: in a city that thrives in the spotlight of violence and when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes will you go to in order to make your story matter? Described as a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge, Edgerunners 2 will, according to the series' story writer and producer Bartosz Sztybor, not only be a sadder and darker take, but 'more bloody, and more raw.' 'Night City has a lot of stories to tell. I have a dream that it won't end with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. There's more stories, more characters,' he added about his decision to pursue another series. 'I wasn't satisfied with the sadness I received from the audience so I want you to be even more sad now.' Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will feature a new story and fresh characters, and while the series does not currently have a release date, it will be directed by Kai Ikarashi. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners director Hiroyuki Imaishi made a special appearance during the panel to pass the baton for Ikarashi's directorial debut on the series, after working together on the 2022 entry. Voice actors Emi Lo (Lucy Kushinada) and Zach Aguilar (David Martinez) also appeared on the panel, which saw cast and creatives take fans behind the scenes of the 2022 anime. Sztybor and Ikarashi will be joined on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 by lead character designer Kanno Ichigo and Masahiko Otsuka, who will be responsible for the screenplay adaptation. '[Cyberpunk: Edgerunner's] David [Martinez's] story might be over, but there's plenty more to discover in Night City. And to again have the legendary animation studio Trigger along for the ride makes us at CD Projekt Red so excited to introduce a raw, real chronicle of redemption and revenge, something unlike what we've done before,' Sztybor said in a statement.

Iconic '80s Rocker Going Viral With 'God Only Knows' in Memory of Brian Wilson
Iconic '80s Rocker Going Viral With 'God Only Knows' in Memory of Brian Wilson originally appeared on Parade. A legendary British rocker is going viral with his new, stripped-down recording of God Only Knows as a tribute to the late, great . Howard Jones, 70, the British singer/songwriter with a very distinct voice, was, like many, many other artists, quick to express their admiration, love and grief over Wilson's passing on June 12. "I loved the music of Brian Wilson and was so happy to meet him backstage at a gig in Brooklyn. I was able to say to him what a profound influence he was on my musical life. Thank you, Brian, you will always be in my heart," wrote Jones on Facebook. He then posted a video of himself at the piano playing a gorgeous, stripped-down version of "God Only Knows" in memory of Wilson, captioning the video, "Perhaps the best pop song ever written." In the comments on the Facebook video, one fan wrote, "Howard Jones, your cover of 'God Only Knows' is a beautiful tribute to Brian Wilson."Another fan wrote, "A really exquisite tribute. He'd love it, and clearly you're really connected to the emotion of this song." "Just 20 seconds in and feeling the vibe, and that moment the hair stands up on the back of your neck… pure class….👏👏👏," wrote a third fan. Jones is the voice behind such hits as "New Song," "What is Love?", Pearl in the Shell," "Like to Get to Know You Well," and "Things Can Only Get Better," but perhaps his greatest hit was the 1986 single "No One is to Blame," which peaked at No. 4 in the U.S. — personally, we find it to be his most beautiful song lyrically and melodically. Wilson was a founding member of the Beach Boys and was responsible for writing some of their greatest hits like "Good Vibrations," "God Only Knows," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," among hundreds of other songs. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Iconic '80s Rocker Going Viral With 'God Only Knows' in Memory of Brian Wilson first appeared on Parade on Jun 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

Pippa Middleton's Wimbledon Barbie dress just became the style of summer 2025
Wimbledon 2025 is well underway, and we have loved every minute so far - from the nail-biting action to, of course, the elegant outfits the spectators have been rocking. Although we haven't seen Wimbledon regular, Pippa Middleton, just yet, we are on the lookout, as the sister of the Princess of Wales never fails to turn up at the world's most famous tennis tournament. In the meantime, though, we are still musing over this amazing fashion throwback the mother-of-three donned last year. The brunette beauty famously teamed up with her sister Kate in 2024 to watch the Men's final. Pippa, who is married to James Matthews, totally coordinated with her big sis, rocking a stunning frilled blush pink creation by Beulah London, which went magnificently with Kate's purple Safiyaa dress. Pippa's dress featured three summer essentials - florals, ruffles, and a waist-defining bow. A simply glorious choice. It ensured she stood out on Centre Court and we have been thinking of it ever since. It was great to see Pippa sit alongside her sister last year, as it was Kate's second public appearance in 2024 since the royal revealed she had been receiving treatment for cancer. Pippa was right by Kate's side as the spectators movingly gave the princess a standing ovation as she entered the atrium, alongside her niece, Princess Charlotte. Pippa's dress was designed in a dazzling rosy pink that had a subtle 'Barbiecore' vibe to it. Although everyone has been wearing butter yellow this summer, pale pink is slowly taking over from the sunshine shade, having been seen all over the catwalks this season. What's more, Pippa's dress had a very special meaning attached to it - it was the same frock she wore to her little brother, James' wedding to Alizée Thevenet in 2021. We have no doubt that the style brings back wonderful memories to Pippa each time she wears it. Beulah London was founded by Natasha Rufus Isaacs and Lavinia Brennan in 2010. The famously sustainable fashion brand is loved not only by the Middleton sisters but also by Princess Beatrice, too.
