Ultra-secret night-out alert! Are you ready to enter Lost World? (If you can find it)
One of the best events in London so far this year was Lost City, in which Duran Duran invited a select audience to a secret location in central London. Inside was a cross between an art installation - which featured members of the band acting away, Simon Le Bon writing lyrics, Nick Rhodes taking your photo etc - and a Blitz-style nightclub where everyone was dressed like androgynous cyberpunk models. They took your phone away from you too, which was an unnerving but eventually liberating touch, forcing you to actually socialise with other people.

Naomi Watts looks effortlessly chic in jeans and a YSL bag as she steps out in New York City - moments before her husband Billy Crudup heads out for solo walk
Naomi Watts looked effortlessly stylish as she stepped out in New York City on Saturday, turning the sidewalk into her personal runway. The 56-year-old actress cut a casual yet polished figure in a sleeveless charcoal grey knit top layered over a striped long-sleeve shirt. She teamed the look with a pair of washed black wide-leg jeans and classic white sneakers, proving comfort and fashion can go hand in hand. Adding a touch of luxury to her low-key ensemble, the Aussie star slung a chic beige Saint Laurent crossbody bag over her shoulder. She accessorised with dark sunglasses and a burgundy baseball cap, keeping her blonde locks tucked away as she braved the city streets with a drink in hand and a brown paper shopping bag. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Naomi looked relaxed as she strolled through Manhattan, enjoying some solo time after a whirlwind few weeks of public appearances and family commitments. Just moments later, her husband Billy Crudup, also 56, was seen heading out for a solo stroll nearby, also embracing an off-duty vibe. The Morning Show actor kept things simple in a fitted grey T-shirt and black Nike track pants, paired with a dark baseball cap and matching sneakers. He carried a gym bag in one hand and looked focused as he pounded the pavement. The couple tied the knot in June 2023 in a low-key New York courthouse ceremony. Watts and Crudup celebrated their nuptials in a second ceremony surrounded by their family in Mexico last year. In January, the Australian star revealed that she had to wear a hormone replacement patch which she was embarrassed about on her first night of intimacy with the actor. She said: 'I had to sneak off to the bathroom. If anyone knows about these patches, they have quite a strong adhesive and it wasn't the easiest thing to do so I was missing from the room a bit too long. The couple tied the knot in June 2023 in a low-key New York courthouse ceremony 'So things are supposed to be happening, um, so yeah I talk about that in the book.' In an extract from her forthcoming book published by The Times, Naomi also candidly reflected on her and Billy's romance that blossomed after she experienced menopause at the age of 36. The Oscar-nominated actress admitted she wasn't looking for love when their paths crossed while filming the Netflix thriller Gypsy - shortly after Naomi's split from American actor Liev Schreiber in 2016. In fact, she wrote, a relationship with Billy - who played her on-screen husband - was the furthest thing from her mind, despite the fact that they had 'simulated sex on screen many times, dry-humping each other to the point of exhaustion'. However, Naomi began to see Billy in a different light after one of their steamy scenes when he 'spontaneously flung a pillow across the room while ravishing me with such passion that I blushed and broke character'. She was particularly taken aback by the moment because her sex drive had reduced in the years since experiencing menopause. Recalling their first time together, Naomi said she excused herself to go to the bathroom and remove her hormone therapy patch - but became conscious after it left a mark on her body. Naomi dwelled on how Billy might react to her being menopausal, while worrying about whether he wanted more children, for so long that Billy eventually called out to her.

Novak Djokovic: I'd like to steal David Beckham's wardrobe
Classic, clean and traditional. I love a polo shirt or something with a collar. I also like my clothes to be well fitted — I don't like things that are too baggy. It was probably something awful! I had no fashion sense whatsoever when I was a kid. I'd always be wearing flip-flops with baggy jeans paired with a print shirt that combined about ten different colours. And I thought that I was quite stylish! I always wear my cross necklace. But I also have sentimental things that I keep in my tennis bag like photos of my family, and the Orthodox Christian saints of my religion. I sometimes take quartz crystals with me on tour too, as I'm big into the belief that they can offer protection and positive energy. Probably David Beckham's. I mean, he's quite a fashion role model for a lot of men, isn't he? I got married. It was a grey Dolce & Gabbana tux. Oof … I should get bonus points from my wife for that being my answer. To be yourself, and to wear something that allows you to express parts of your personality. In sport you often have to follow a dress code — and that works for me because I don't like extremes. It means you can respect the rules but still play around with the details to showcase your personality and uniqueness. • Read more fashion advice and style inspiration from our experts It would have to be something I'm comfortable in and can move freely in. I love playing sports — tennis, obviously, but also skiing or just being active outdoors and in nature. But I'd want it to be elegant and sporty. Something I could wear to play, and then head straight to dinner. I personally like to camouflage my clothes by wearing colours that resemble the court surface. It makes me feel more agile. But I also enjoy it when somebody's bold on court and brings that fashion element into the game. Some of the women in tennis — Venus and Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, Maria Sharapova — they've worn some incredible outfits and they always look phenomenal. Class. I like clothes that are rooted in history and have a connection to the place where they originated. For example, I love the history of fashion in tennis. You see these retro photos from the late 19th century: everyone playing with wooden rackets, the ladies in long, beautiful white dresses, the men in white blazers. Nowadays I like to wear colour when I can, but I really respect the all-white tradition Wimbledon has preserved. Especially now, when everything feels so disposable, I value things that feel eternal and Aman Essentials Tennis Club collection is available to shop now at

The food trends shaping Johannesburg's menus right now
Johannesburg's food scene has always been a melting pot of cultures, and in 2025, it's going global in the best way. This week, I got a front-row seat to the launch of the Future Menus Report by Unilever Food Solutions, hosted right here in Johannesburg. Not only did we dive into the insights shaping restaurant menus around the world, but we also got to taste them. The hottest global trend, according to the report? Street Food Couture. Think gourmet mac and cheese, Korean rice rolls, and even a luxe take on our beloved lamb and apricot sosaties. This trend is redefining how we dine out, with bold flavours, informal vibes, and high-end touches all wrapped in wax paper and grit. For a city that thrives on food trucks, weekend markets and pop-ups, Johannesburg is more than ready to run with this. Another standout trend is Borderless Cuisine, which refers to dishes that mix influences and ingredients across continents. It's a concept that mirrors how many Joburg kitchens already operate. From truffle-enhanced bunny chow to Joburg-style tteokbokki, our local chefs already know how to mix things up with flair. This trend just gives them permission to go even bolder. But my favourite part of the day was the interactive Diner Designed showcase. The Diner Designed trend is a playful, customisable approach to dining where guests become co-creators of their meals. This isn't just build-your-own burger territory; it's about turning the entire dining experience into something personal, memorable, and fun. This concept came to life in the most decadent way at the launch when we were asked to use a QR code to access a short quiz on our phones to determine the perfect sauce to pair with our crème brûlée (mine landed on an indulgent chocolate espresso sauce), and then we got to decorate it ourselves based on personal taste. It was delicious and creative, but more than that, it showed just how much diners love being part of the process. For Johannesburg restaurateurs, the message is clear: experiment, localise, and personalise. Diners want food that tells a story and sparks connection, whether that's through nostalgic street eats or unexpected global mashups.
