The Godfather actress Sofia Coppola, 54, poses with her teen daughters who are both taller than she

Sofia Coppola brought along her two teenage daughters to Tuesday's Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-2026 fashion show.
Romy, 18, towered over the Priscilla director while Cosima, 15, also stood slightly taller than their 54-year-old mother.
The filmmaker stands at 5'4" without shoes, but the women all added height to their frames with classic round-toe Chanel heels.
Sofia - who starred in The Godfather Part III - was dressed in a heather gray top, subtly patterned sky blue jacket, and white trousers.
She accessorized with a quilted white Chanel purse, and her shoulder-length bob was styled in a side part and loose waves.
Her children were equally fashionable, with her firstborn child clad in a pale blue shift dress with a fringed hemline.
She toted a tiny, matching pastel box purse while punctuating the ensemble with Mary Jane style shoes.
Romy's younger sister opted for a pink mini dress with a matching cardigan, adding two-toned slingback footwear.
Speaking to Vogue after the Chanel presentation, Romy called it 'the most beautiful show.'
Sofia shares her brood with longtime husband Thomas Mars, who is the lead singer of the band Phoenix.
Their older daughter made headlines in 2023 when she went viral for revealing that her parents grounded her for trying to charter a helicopter.
At the time, she'd uploaded a clip to TikTok explaining that she was punished for attempting to use her dad's credit card to fly from New York to Maryland 'to have dinner with my camp friend.'
Romy shared that she was killing her time at home by making a vodka pasta sauce.
In the clip she also admitted that her parents' 'biggest rule' was that she was not allowed to have public social media.
'But TikTok's not going to make me famous, so it doesn't really matter,' she rationalized.
Her mother Sofia, who is known for fiercely protecting her family's privacy, later told The Hollywood Reporter she was 'not thrilled' about the viral moment.
'She's funny,' she said. 'But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would've hoped for.'
In May Romy showcased her music ambitions as she released a catchy soft-pop tune called A-lister.
And the nepo baby enlisted none other than her mother to direct its accompanying music video.
Despite her previous claim that she was not permitted to have public social media accounts, she now has a public Instagram page with 160,000 followers.

Laufey at Chanel Couture: 'There's a common thread between music and fashion, they change time and often grow in tandem.'

'My life right now is pretty crazy,' Laufey tells Grazia as she hits Paris for the Chanel Haute Couture Autumn/Winter '25 show. Laufey's not wrong. Just a few days ago, the Icelandic musician was making her debut at Glastonbury, joining Noah Kahan on the Pyramid stage for a surprise rendition of Call Your Mom that sent social media into meltdown. Today she's front row at the final Couture show from the studio team before incoming creative director Matthieu Blazy makes his debut for the house this autumn. Laufey attends the Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show. ©Getty 'Glasto and Couture week are such a good embodiment of the two opposites that I have right now - and my real life is somewhere between the two,' she laughs. The musician who's been billed as making jazz relevant for Gen Z found fame on reality TV show Iceland's Got Talent. Two albums and a Grammy award later, Laufey's about to launch her third album A Matter of Time and go on tour across America, supported by fellow friend of Chanel, Suki Waterhouse. Noah Kahan and Laufey at Glastonbury. ©Getty Along the way she's become a fashion favourite and attended her first Chanel show last year. 'Fashion for me as a musician is such an important way of describing who I am visually,' Laufey says of the commonality between the worlds. 'My sound is such a classic sound but with a little bit of a modern twist. It's ultimately very cinematic and so the clothing that I wear it's so important that it embodies that too. It's classic with a fun twist. A little bit playful but theatrical. And I really think my outfit today really captures that.' She cites the Pierrot style collar of her Couture Chanel outfit and the exaggerated sleeves that give the mini dress a girly, romantic feel. 'Any time I get to wear Couture I feel so special because the amount of detail on the clothing is just kind of beyond.' Haute couture might not work for two-month tour, but Laufey puts as much thought into her performing attire as she did today's look. 'Dressing for stage is such a delicate art. I want to feel good. Feeling good makes me perform better so clothing is actually so important,' Laufey reveals of her approach. 'Beyond that I love a skirt that kind of dances. Any kind of tulle always makes me feel like a ballerina. I like flat shoes, because I like to twirl and I like to have the stakes pretty low. I don't want to trip. It's all about feeling good.' Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026. ©Getty If she were to pick out her favourites from the Chanel Couture show though, she says it would have to be the tweed. 'When I think of Chanel, I think of classic, with tweed of course at the top of mind. I loved all the beautiful flowing skirts and the more masculine tweed jackets. It was perfect.' She's not wrong that the show had a romantic feel. Tiered skirts, embellished with lace, fringing and intricate beading, were grounded with floor-dusting coats and flat knee-high boots. Inspired by the Scottish moors and English countryside, the palette was muted: several shades of browns, moss green and heather purple, punctuated by golds that picked up Coco Chanel's famous talisman and now code of the house – a wheatsheaf. Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026. ©Getty 'There's a common thread between music and fashion,' Laufey mused afterwards. 'Just like any other art form they change with history and time and often grow in tandem.' Poetic words for a turning point in Chanel's storied history. Next season the oldest couture house still operating will have a new creative director. But as today's show demonstrated even in new beginnings, when you have a heritage as rich as Chanel, it's always worth looking back. Hattie Brett's first job in journalism was editorial assistant of Grazia – and in 2018, she returned to the brand as editor-in-chief. That means she oversees all the editorial content across print, digital and social. She loves campaigning on issues that really matter to her audience, for example calling on the government to hold an inquiry into the cost and accessibility of childcare.

Life Cycle of a Moth by Rowe Irvin review – captivating story of maternal love and male violence

In the woodland, beyond the fence, inside the old forester's hut, Maya and Daughter live in a world of rituals. The fence is secured with 'Keep-Safes' – fingernails, Daughter's first teeth, the umbilical cord that once joined them – to protect them from intruders. While their days are filled with chores, setting traps for rabbits and gathering firewood, every night they play a game they call 'This-and-That', in which they take it in turns to choose an activity – hair-brushing, dancing, copying – before saying their 'sorrys and thank yous' in the bed they share. From the beginning of British author Rowe Irvin's captivating debut novel, it is clear that Maya has created this life for herself and her daughter – who calls her mother 'Myma' – as a refuge from the brutality of the world beyond the fence's perimeter. Irvin's tale switches between two narrative strands: present-day chapters narrated by Daughter, a naive, spirited girl who is as much woodland creature as she is person; and more distant sections detailing Maya's rural upbringing with an alcoholic father and withdrawn mother, and the acts of male violence that led her to flee. Maya has taught Daughter only the words she needs for their existence, so although Daughter is 15, her language is childlike: 'Sweat dries in the furry unders of my arms.' Later, Daughter is out in the woods: 'Touch finger and thumb together now to make a circle for peering through. Move slow, pointing my seeing-hole at ground and tree and sky.' It's a feat that Irvin maintains this playful, almost incantatory voice in all Daughter's sections across these 300 pages. Maya tells Daughter that their rituals protect them against 'Rotters', people living beyond the fence, who are 'empty on the inside … hollow'. If a Rotter were to intrude on their sanctuary, they would be eaten away like 'gone-bad apples'. 'Shudder with the thought of it,' Daughter thinks. But as the novel progresses, the manner in which Maya controls Daughter's understanding of the world grows more frightening. When Daughter finds a glove in the woods – she thinks it is a 'blue hand blanket', and laughs at 'the way the long fingers flap empty at the ends' – she takes it to show her mother, thinking it will make her laugh too. It doesn't. 'It came from a Rotter,' Maya says. 'One must have got in during the dark and left it as a trick … You shouldn't have touched it.' Later, she is warned against being too inquisitive when she meets Maya in the ash copse, a rope around her neck and a stump beneath her feet. Maya tells her: 'If I step off my neck will snap and I'll be dead … The questions you ask, she says then, they can do damage, Daughter'. Daughter only has more questions when she finds the Rotter who dropped the glove. The intruder, a man named Wyn, is the first human she has ever seen apart from Maya. Her mother rages against Wyn, until a strange force stops her killing him. Once Maya convinces Daughter she has 'cut the Rot' from him, he is invited inside their dwelling, first roped-up and kept on the floor, and then given a seat at the table. More and more, Daughter questions Maya's logic. How did Wyn get over the fence, with all their Keep-Safes? And why is it suddenly OK for them to be around a Rotter? Wyn's outside perspective further reveals the extent to which the belief system they live by is simply Maya's coping mechanism for personal trauma. We know she has created this world out of a desire to protect herself and her kin. But with her love, she has also been deceptive, sometimes cruel. In impish yet tender style, Irvin thoughtfully explores what it means for a mother to care for a daughter in a world where male violence is everywhere. Life Cycle of a Moth is the very best kind of fiction: with the book open, you feel utterly transported; once you close it, you see how cunningly it holds a mirror up to reality.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson cuts a low-key figure as he attends premiere of Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs after being tipped as new favourite to play James Bond

He may have emerged as the new favourite to play James Bond, but Aaron Taylor-Johnson looked worlds away from 007 as he stepped out on Tuesday. The actor, 35, cut a low-key figure as he attended the premiere of Lightroom at King's Cross' brand-new immersive show, Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs, in collaboration with Apple TV+. Sporting a thick brown beard, Aaron look was a far cry from the clean-shaven look that Bond has become known for, amid frenzied speculation over who will take over the coveted role. The star was joined by other big names including Billie Piper, Damian Lewis and Kate Garraway at the premiere of Lightroom's new family-friendly experience. Guests were taken on a breathtaking journey 66 million years into the past, with life-size dinosaurs brought to life through Lightroom's cutting-edge projection technology, never-before-seen illustrations and an epic score by Hans Zimmer. Damian Lewis, Narrator of Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs, said: 'Dinosaurs are one of those topics that holds timeless appeal for all sorts of audiences — there is such an incredible depth to this project both educationally and as a spectacular story to tell of the greatest creatures ever to walk on our planet. 'I'm so excited to play a part in telling that story and inviting audiences into Prehistoric Planet like never before. 'And doing it at Lightroom, with its amazing immersive space and unparalleled capabilities to transport people back in time and into jungles, deserts, canyons or oceans, is such a brilliant opportunity. 'Where else are you going to get to sidle up next to a life-size, living T-Rex in its natural habitat?' Aaron is odds on favourite to play the next James Bond, with Dunkirk actor Jack Lowden, also 35, and Netflix star Theo James, 40, following close behind. Bookmaker Coral have reported seeing a strong wave of support behind Aaron with the British actor as the 9-4 favourite for the role. Meanwhile Theo is second best in the betting at 4-1, while Jack is backed at 5-1. Elsewhere the betting site have Superman star Henry Cavill, 42, with odds of 10-1. Coral's John Hill said: 'We've seen another strong wave of support behind Aaron Taylor-Johnson in our next James Bond betting. Although other names have been linked with the role in recent weeks. 'The British actor remains the man punters are backing to replace Daniel Craig'. However, it is believe to not be possible for Spiderman star Tom to bag the role of 007 as he begins filming Spider Man 4 - which has the reported working name Spider-Man: Brand New Day - in the coming months. The studio announced on Wednesday that Denis Villeneuve - best known for directing Warner Bros.' two-part Dune adaptation - has signed on to direct the untitled film Bond film, via Amazon press release. The French-Canadian filmmaker, 57, will also serve as executive producer of the project alongside Tanya Lapointe. Amazon had previously announced Amy Pascal and David Heyman as the film's producers, after the studio parted ways with longtime 007 caretakers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. The news comes just over three years after Amazon completed its massive $8.5billion acquisition of MGM Studios that included the James Bond franchise. There hasn't been a Bond film since 2021's No Time to Die, the final instalment with Daniel Craig as the beloved secret agent. The director said in a statement, 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery.' He added, 'I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.' The filmmaker admitted: 'This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor.' He also went on to thank Bond producers Amy and David, adding they, 'are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust'. Amy and David added, 'Denis Villeneuve has been in love with James Bond movies since he was a little boy. 'It was always his dream to make this movie, and now it's ours, too. We are lucky to be in the hands of this extraordinary filmmaker.' After Amazon acquired MGM in 2022, they obtained full creative control of the 007 franchise with a deal they struck with Barbara and Michael, the offspring of original James Bond producer, Albert R. Broccoli. Barbara and Michael had been overseeing the franchise since 1995, when their father ceded control of his Eon Productions company to them. Amazon reached an agreement with Barbara and Michael in March 2025, and while financial terms were not disclosed, it was rumored to be upwards of $1 billion. Villeneuve made his directorial debut in 1998 with August 32nd on Earth, which Amazon bosses are currently said to be considering locations in which to set the much-anticipated new film, which experts predicted is likely to be released at the end of next year or in 2027. Due to a filming ban being imposed in Central London next year, new locations are reportedly being considered - with Liverpool a frontrunner, according to The Sun. An insider told the publication: 'This will no doubt irk Bond purists who already fear Amazon taking over the 007 franchise may lead to them making big changes. 'But Liverpool is a well-known alternative to London for film-makers. 'It has appeared in everything from The Batman to Captain America and Harry Potter movies, doubling up as international cities.' The source added that it doesn't necessarily mean the story will be set in Liverpool - though eagle-eyed Merseysiders will no doubt spot their city centre in the background.
