Where Men Are Evolved
A relaxed refinement also characterized the fashion in the crowds, where suits were neither too baggy nor too form-fitting, pants were wider at the foot, shorts were shorter and black socks were worn instead of white ones, with boots, monk-strap shoes and Crocs. As for faces in the crowds, in addition to rappers and K-pop stars, there were also N.B.A. players like Anthony Edwards, Jerami Grant and James Harden, whose collective cool underscored that of the designers' collections.

Jeff Bezos Reportedly Honeymooning at Iconic ‘White Lotus' Hotel
Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his new wife are winding down after their $50 million wedding by honeymooning at a White Lotus landmark. Bezos, 61 and Lauren Sánchez, 55, are reportedly spending their honeymoon at the San Domenico Palace, a Four Seasons resort in Taormina, Sicily, following their controversial and star-studded three-day-long Venice wedding. The hotel was at the center of the second season of the hit HBO show The White Lotus, which satirizes the lives of the ultra-wealthy as they stay in a new luxury hotel every season. A source told the Daily Mail that the newlyweds will board Bezos' $500 million superyacht Koru and head to Taormina. Bezos allegedly grew enamored with the town last year while the couple was sailing along the Aeolian Islands. The luxury hotel has been visited by the likes of Oscar Wilde, Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, and Elizabeth Taylor. It also hosted the G7 summit in 2017, hosting political leaders from around the world. Today, the hotel is best known for its role in The White Lotus in 2022. The last episode of that season garnered 4.1 million U.S. viewers, a record which was promptly smashed this year by the last episode of season 3, with 6.2 million people tuning in. The Four Seasons has appeared in all three seasons of the hit HBO series, the first season being set in its Hawai'i location and the third season in its Thailand branch. Its website also lists which of its hotels were featured in popular shows and media, including The Dark Knight and Pretty Woman. Rooms at the San Domenico Palace can cost up to $8,000 per night, a price that pales in comparison to the price tag of the couple's lavish wedding. Sánchez's ring alone is estimated to cost between $3 million to $5 million, according to People. The wedding hosted around 200 A-listers and billionaire guests, who descended onto Venice in private yachts and jets, taking over the Marco Polo airport. Some notable faces included Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the Kardashians, Oprah Winfrey, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Trump was also invited to the 'wedding of the century' but couldn't attend due to scheduling conflicts. The citizens of Venice were not too pleased that the billionaire's nuptials were taking place in their city, concerned that it would disrupt their day-to-day lives and contribute to the city's overtourism problem. Following local protests, the celebrations were ultimately moved from central Venice to the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in a former medieval shipyard called the Arsenale.

Nuno Borges says Wimbledon blocked Portugal shirt as tribute to Diogo Jota
Portuguese number one Nuno Borges has said Wimbledon officials denied a request to wear a Portugal football shirt on to court in tribute to Diogo Jota, after the Liverpool star's death in a car crash. Instead he wore a black ribbon pinned to his hat during Friday's third-round match against Karen Khachanov, but said his team had initially pushed for a more visible tribute. 'I know Wimbledon is usually not very flexible with attire,' Borges told the PA news agency. 'But I was told we could still do something to pay our respects for what happened, so I think it was a nice gesture. 'He was a great footballer. It was a tragedy.' Borges, who lost a five-set thriller, said his agent contacted Wimbledon about the idea of wearing a Portugal shirt, and even tried to source a white version to comply with dress rules, but it was not approved. 'We initially talked about getting a full jersey to walk on court,' he said. 'I even tried to find one in white, but it was turned down, so we ended up doing something a little smaller.' Asked if Wimbledon should have allowed the shirt, he said: 'I think that's what makes Wimbledon special and different from every other Slam, so I really don't know.' Wimbledon relaxed its 148-year-old dress code in light of Jota's death, allowing players to wear black ribbons or armbands. Borges was among several players who did, including fellow Portuguese doubles player Francisco Cabral. Cabral, who wore a ribbon on his shirt sleeve during a doubles match with Lucas Miedler, said: 'Yesterday the idea of wearing a black strap came up – that was not allowed. 'I asked for permission to use the black ribbon and they let me play with it.' He described it as 'an honour', adding: 'It was not for the best reason – he was an inspiration not only for me but for the country in general. 'He made so much in the sport and conquered so much in my life. If I helped 1% for the family I will be super happy.' Cabral and Miedler lost their second-round match in straight sets to Czech pair Petr Nouza and Patrik Rikl. Wimbledon's dress code has long restricted visible colour on court, and tributes are rarely granted. The gesture marked a rare moment of flexibility from organisers, after the deaths of Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who were killed in Spain while travelling to catch a ferry to England. British doubles player and Liverpool fan Neal Skupski had also taken a black armband for his match on Thursday, but opted not to wear it after learning of the death of his grandmother shortly after coming off court. He said he may wear one 'in the next couple of days'.
