Keira Knightley looks effortlessly chic in a flowing white and black gown as she attends Chanel Cruise fashion show in Italy

Daily Mail​29-04-2025

Keira Knightley looked effortlessly chic in a flowing white and black gown at the Chanel Cruise 2025 fashion show in Como, Italy on Tuesday.
The American actress, 40, turned heads as she arrived at the luxury five-star Villa D'Este for the annual show.
Keira looked out of this world in the very elegant maxi dress, adorned with black bow motifs and a pearl belt.
The beauty has been married to her husband James Righton since 2013, and they are parents to two children, Edie, nine and Delilah, five.
Elsewhere at the catwalk, French model and music producer Caroline de Maigret, 50, showcased her age-defying looks in black tailored trousers and a cream blouse.
Meanwhile, French-Romanian actress Anamaria Vartolomei, 26, couldn't contain her laughter as she shielded her face from the sun.
Italian actress Gaia Girace, 21, looked chic in a black pleated leather skirt and miniature Chanel handbag.
Actress Selene Caramazza put on a very leggy display and flashed her torso in a stylish black co-ord.
Keira's Italian outing comes after she spoke about her mixed feelings surrounding her role in Pirates of the Caribbean films while promoting her Netflix series Black Doves.
In an interview with The Times, the two-time Oscar nominee said the franchise 'was making and breaking' her at the same time.
'I was seen as s*** because of them,' she explained, 'and yet because they did so well, I was given the opportunity to do the films that I ended up getting Oscar nominations for.'
Keira said they were 'the most successful films I'll ever be a part of, and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly. So they're a very confused place in my head.'
The 2003 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl helped launch Keira's career into the stratosphere, but it came with a cost.
The action adventure starring Orlando Bloom, Jeffrey Rush and Johnny Depp made more than $654 million worldwide according to Box Office Mojo.
The film received average reviews from critics, but audiences disagreed and showed their approval in box office ticket sales.
Keira and Orlando starred in two more films in the franchise, 2006's Dead Man's Chest and 2007's At World's End.
Both were panned by critics, but were big winners at the box office, with Dead Man's Chest earning more than $1 billion and At World's End coming in close with more than $961 million.
The attention from the film resulted in a lot of attention on Keira appearance, including her thinness and she was accused in the media of having an eating disorder.
She also revealed in 2018 she had been treated for post-traumatic stress.
'In that classic trauma way I don't remember it,' she told the outlet.
Netflix has also announced it has renewed Black Doves for a second season after the first of the thriller series became a hit with fans - and royalty.
It was an instant hit, flying to the top of the charts as viewers dubbed it a ' Christmas series' and it even made it to Kensington Palace.
Whilst handing out Christmas presents to children and families at a party for 1st Battalion Mercian Regiment in Wiltshire, Prince William revealed he and Princess Catherine have been sitting down to watch Black Doves.

Meghan's As Ever jam is actually made in factory 2,000 miles from Montecito

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, had claimed the first batches of her latest As Ever products, including her jam and £21-a-jar honey, had sold out within hours of release A jam Meghan Markle has released under her new brand As Ever is actually made 2,000 miles from her mansion. The pricey preserve is said to be "inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen" and an Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at the duchess' Californian property. However, it has now been revealed the jam - which Meghan sells for £6.50 per jar - is produced in a factory in Illinois, some 2,000 miles from Montecito. ‌ It is actually manufactured by the same US giant which sells Meghan's £9 packs of herbal tea. It also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey, priced at £21-a-jar – although it is not known whether it manufactures her newly released apricot preserve. Meghan, 43, had claimed last week the first batches of the apricot preserve and other new treats had sold out within hours of release online. ‌ But one tough food critic told the media she felt the jam was "a real disappointment" upon reviewing the fruity spread. Donna Collins blasted the jam, describing it as "too runny" to work. And mother-of-two Meghan faces more scrutiny today after it has emerged The Republic of Tea, which produces the jam, is based 2,000 miles from Montecito, quite the contrast to the homely image the duchess has presented in marketing for the preserve. A source close to the duchess said in order to formulate the commercial product, As Ever started with the spread Meghan makes at home "and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale". Meghan's website, though, describes her "signature" raspberry jam as "inspired by the recipe she made in her home kitchen" – and says it was deliberately crafted with a fluid texture". On her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, she described harvesting berries and making small batches of jars in her kitchen, adding: "I did save one of 50 for my mom." However, a source close to Meghan has confirmed to the Daily Mail that The Republic of Tea makes her As Ever raspberry spread, but a new supplier would soon be used. The Republic of Tea's headquarters is in Larkspur, California, 350 miles from Meghan's mansion - but the factory in which the jam is said to be made is in Illinois, which is in the Midwestern United States. In a statement given to the Mail, Netflix said: "Netflix and As Ever take pride in working with best-in-class vendors that meet our high standards for exceptional products. It's been exciting to see how much fans have embraced the As Ever product line, with the first two launches selling out so quickly We're looking forward to continued success as we expand and release more As Ever product throughout the year and beyond."

Jeff Bezos & wife Lauren jet off for expensive honeymoon at White Lotus location

Newlyweds Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos leave their luxury wedding to embark on a multi-million dollar honeymoon at a famous hotel featured on The White Lotus season two Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos are rumoured to set sail on a luxury trip for their honeymoon after they tied the knot last week in a three-day multi-million dollar wedding celebration in Venice. The billionaire couple haven't publicly confirmed where they are going for their honeymoon, but a source has claimed they will stay in the area of Torcello before heading to Nicelli airport. The newlyweds are said to fly in a helicopter back to Bezos' $500 million superyacht, 'Koru,' where they will move on to Taormina in Sicily. ‌ The Daily Mail have reported that the couple fell in love with the town last year when they sailed along Sicily's coast and the Aeolian Islands. It is reported that Jeff and Lauren will anchor in Taormina and spend some time together at Four Seasons San Domenico Palace. ‌ The magnificent hotel is famous for being the primary location of The White Lotus season 2 and a suite can cost upwards of €7,000 a night. The hotel website states: 'Perched on a rocky promontory high above the Ionian Sea, San Domenico Palace, an exclusive five-star luxury hotel in Taormina, invites you to experience the charm of a reimagined 14th-century Sicilian convent.' Before setting off, the newlyweds were snapped beaming and waving goodbye as they left the Aman Venice hotel by boat on Sunday. Lauren cut a smart figure in a white dress with an elegant drape. She finished the look with a black hat and some stylish oversized sunglasses. Hubby Jeff looked just as smart in a navy t-shirt and sunglasses. On 27 June, the couple exchanged vows at the stunning San Giorgio Maggiore island, set against Venice's iconic lagoon. The ceremony unfolded in a black‑tie garden event—Lauren arrived in a cream Dior suit before switching into a custom Dolce & Gabbana lace gown, inspired by Sophia Loren and crafted over 900 hours. Around 200 high‑profile guests arrived by water taxi to witness the nuptials, including Oprah Winfrey, Kim & Kylie Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, Tom Brady, Usher and Orlando Bloom. ‌ Shortly after the wedding, Lauren changed her Instagram handle to @laurensanchezbezos, confirming the newlyweds' joy to the world. The couple took three days out of their busy schedule to celebrate their wedding, which is believed to have cost close to £40million. And while the happy couple and their guests enjoyed the celebrations which went without a hitch, it seems not everybody was pleased that the retail giant had booked out the entire Italian city. An estimated 700 demonstrators gathered together at Santa Lucia train station armed with banners that read "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax." The demonstration is believed to have been organised by the No Space For Bezos group. A few members of the group were seen laden with Amazon boxes that had the words "ordered, shipped, delivered, rejected" written on them.

New Netflix smash hit closes in on 100 million views to dominate global chart

Steve Charnock Published June 26, 2025 2:28pm Updated June 27, 2025 1:55pm Link is copied Comments There aren't many movies that very nearly clock up a sensational 100 million views on the streaming platform Netflix. There are even fewer than achieve that impressive feat in just three weeks. This week's global top 10 is dominated by such a film. Also making the list are a trio of fascinating Netflix Original documentaries, two about tragedies and one on a somewhat tragic figure. Plus there are the usual suspects of action movies and horrors. Here's the top 10 countdown... (Picture: Getty) Liam Hemsworth and Russell Crowe headline this gritty but fun military thriller that's set in the Philippines. Hemsworth plays a rookie armed forces type who's stranded behind enemy lines, while Crowe's character remotely guides him out via drone support. It's tense, loud and leans heavily on the classic lone soldier formula. Reviews have been pretty mixed, but the star power and steady action have clearly struck a chord with plenty of Netflix viewers (Picture: Netflix) This 2007 sequel to 28 Days Later wasn't directed by the original's Danny Boyle. It's darker, bloodier and arguably more brutal than the original, although not quite as good. With Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne and Jeremy Renner caught in a government-led containment nightmare, it's a decent follow-up and one well worth watching if you've designs on catching the third film, 28 Years Later, in theaters soon. The opening sequence of this remains one of the most talked-about in modern horror (Picture: DNA Films/20th Century Fox) Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter star in this '90s psychological thriller that's aged surprisingly well. Alien star Weaver plays an agoraphobic serial killer expert helping police track down a copycat murderer. There's plenty of procedural business here, so it's no envelope pusher. But the performances and eerie mood hold up well. It's been a quiet Netflix hit that might owe its spike to the true crime crowd. Its highlight? A surprisingly deranged performance by crooner Harry Connick Jr. (Picture: Warner Br/Everett/REX/Shutterstock) This documentary takes on the late Rob Ford, the scandal-prone former mayor of Toronto, whose chaotic term included drug allegations, viral gaffes and a death-defying approval rating. Interviews and archival footage piece together a rise and fall that's both jaw-dropping and, at times, weirdly sympathetic. This isn't your typical political documentary. But then Rob Ford wasn't your typical politician (Picture: Toronto Star via Getty Images) Gerard Butler does what Gerard Butler does best here: survive in harsh circumstances and generally run about being an everyman hero. Here he's a commercial pilot who crash-lands in hostile territory and teams up with a fugitive (Mike Colter) to save passengers from a group of rather unpleasant insurgents. The title is wonderfully blunt, but the movie is tightly paced and exactly the kind of throwback action ride Netflix users seem to crave (Picture: Netflix) Covering the immediately-infamous 2023 Titan submersible implosion, this documentary film blends timeline reconstructions with expert interviews and just enough context to explore the hype, the tech and - ultimately - the tragedy. It's not overly sensationalized, but it doesn't pull its punches either. In fact, it makes for quite chilling watch, especially for those who followed the news in real time and remember the shocking story unfolding (Picture: Netflix) Bastien is an ex-MMA fighter who's haunted by having killed an opponent in the ring. Wracked with guilt and seeking a large serving of redemption, he agrees to assist the victim's grieving widow to locate her missing son. In doing so, Bastien has to go on a dicey journey that takes him into a murderous criminal underworld. Luckily for him - and us viewers - he's very, very good at beating people up. This fun French actioner's been doing very well for itself since release and was the third most-watch movie on Netflix last week (Picture: Laurent le Crabe/Netflix) This is the second Trainwreck documentary in the top 10, with the format clearly proving popular with Netflix subscribers. This one examines the fatal 2021 Travis Scott concert disaster in Houston. It looks at crowd dynamics, corporate accountability and fan testimonies, piecing together a disturbing picture of how things spiralled out of control, ending in death. It's, obviously, not a fun watch. But it is a vital one (Picture: Netflix) Animated chaos meets pop culture and fantasy in this stylish action in which a K-pop girl group moonlights as a gang of roving demon slayers. It's bold, neon-colored and fast-paced, perfect for fans of both anime and South Korean pop idols. The voice cast features a whole host of Korean and American talent. While it might perplex more casual viewers not interested in K-pop, Asian culture or fantasy - if you're into it? It's a riot (Picture: Netflix) With nearly double the views of its runner-up, STRAW is the breakout hit of 2025 that no one saw coming. Tyler Perry's latest psychological crime drama follows single mother Janiyah (Taraji P. Henson) whose life unravels in a single harrowing day. Pushed to extremes, she's driven by grief and sheer survival. A shocking twist really bolsters the film and provides a real emotional spine. Critics praise Henson's gut‑wrenching performance and emotional depth. It's a tense, emotional watch that sparked widespread acclaim and discussion. And now almost 100 million people have seen it overall (Picture: Netflix)
