Lauren Sanchez totes black Birkin in NYC after allegedly losing $10M bid for Jane Birkin's original Hermes bag
rocked a black Birkin as she joined her husband Jeff Bezos in New York City over the weekend. The new Mrs. Bezos, 55 - who recently enjoyed a night out in Paris with A-list pals such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn - was seen stepping out of a sleek SUV alongside the Amazon tycoon following their extravagant Venice wedding. Her latest excursion comes after it was rumored Sanchez was out bid for the original Birkin bag at a Sotheby's auction in Paris this week. Lauren showed off her figure wearing a pair of black fitted leggings as well as a white workout jacket that was partially zipped up at the front. She slipped into a pair of comfy white sneakers and added a blue printed cap on top of her dark locks which were styled into a ponytail. The former journalist sported a pair of fashionable shades while also carrying a classic Hermes Birkin bag in her hand. Bezos - who has shown off new hair growth after being bald for over 10 years - kept it casual in a pair of blue denim jeans and a short-sleeved, black shirt for the outing. He also opted for a pair of sneakers and held a brown leather bag as they headed towards their next destination. Earlier this week on Thursday, the original Birkin bag - which was first designed for model Jane Birkin in 1984 - was auctioned off at Sotheby's in Paris to a private collector from Japan for a record-breaking $10.1 million. It was reported that celebrities such as Sanchez and Kris Jenner had made calls to place a bid, per Vogue, although it is not confirmed. One source alleged to ARTnews that Lauren had bid anonymously - but a separate insider claimed that she had never bid during the auction. The bidding for the original Birkin - which was made in the color black and had Jane Birkin's initials underneath the handles - began a little over $1 million and lasted for 10 minutes. The previous owner of the bag, who goes by the name of Benier, opened up to Vogue about the sell. 'I am astonished at the result, but, as a passionate collector myself, I am first and foremost profoundly moved by the way other collectors have invested so much fervor in trying to acquire what they clearly desired beyond words...' She slipped into a pair of comfy white sneakers and added a blue printed cap on top of her dark locks which were styled into a ponytail It was reported that celebrities such as Sanchez and Kris Jenner had made calls to place a bid, per Vogue, although it is not confirmed; auction taking place on Thursday in Paris Benier later told the outlet, 'It is very difficult to imagine my life without this Birkin bag, but I am happy.' Late last month in June, Sanchez and Bezos said 'I do' during a lavish three-day wedding extravaganza which took place in the romantic city of Venice. A number of celebrities were in attendance including Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, Sydney Sweeney and Orlando Bloom. Lauren walked down the aisle wearing a custom Dolce & Gabbana dress that was made of an intricate lace overlay with buttons on the front and a corset-styled bodice. The fabric on the gown pooled around the star and a sheer white veil was placed towards the back of her head which flowed down into a long train behind her. And earlier this week, Lauren was spotted joining a few of close pals for a night out in Paris. She put on a busty display wearing a figure-hugging, red leather minidress with a plunging neckline on the front. Sanchez carried a black Birkin bag in her hand and allowed her long locks to cascade down past her shoulders. Along with having a blast with Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, the former journalist was also joined by model Brooks Nader. However, her new husband Jeff Bezos was notably absent from the night out in France on Tuesday. That same day, the star was seen stepping out to attend the Balenciaga Haute Couture runway show during Paris Fashion Week. She supported stars such as Naomi Campbell and Kim Kardashian as they modeled pieces during the glitzy event. The beauty jumped to her Instagram stories to give a glimpse at some of the pieces modeled during the show. Lauren later whisked herself away to the Allen and Company Sun Valley Media and Tech Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho on Wednesday - which has been dubbed as the 'summer camp for billionaires.' She was seen strolling next to Bezos as they both made a joint appearance at the star-studded event. Sex And The City alum Candice Bergen, Gayle King, Disney CEO Bob Iger and YouTube CEO Neal Mohan were also guests at the conference. The annual event is held each year during the month of July - and was first launched back in 1983. Sanchez flashed a smile towards Jeff as they held hands while making their way towards The Sun Valley Resort.

Rita Ora puts on a racy display in black lingerie look and thigh high boots as she attends event in New York
Rita Ora put on a cheeky display in black lingerie as she attended a Coveteur GRWM Event at The Tryst Pool Club in New York on Sunday. The singer, 34, showcased her incredible physique as she stepped out in a leather three-piece set, complete suspenders. She paired her racy ensemble with a pair of sheer black tights and added inches to her frame with thigh high leather boots. To accessorise, she wore two large black tooth necklaces, a set of chunky silver bracelets. She was seen in high spirits during the event as she was spotted behind a set of DJ decks entertaining fans. Later in the evening, Rita switched out of her saucy underwear and into a pink and black halterneck top to attend the Fifa World Cup between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. She paired her silk garment with a nude low-rise figure hugging skirt which featured a gathered design down the center. Rita added inches to her petite frame as she slipped into a pair of trendy white leather boots. And the Fifa world cup was not only a celebration for Chelsea but it also saw scenes of apparent drama. The match was with a moment of drama as it ended in ugly scenes after the final whistle when PSG manager Luis Enrique appeared to get physical with a Blues player. The Blues sealed a 3-0 win - with a first-half double from Cole Palmer and a Joao Pedro strike before the break - to become the first side to lift the trophy in its revamped 32-team format. But at full-time, tensions boiled over as PSG boss Enrique appeared to strike Chelsea striker Joao Pedro in the face during a heated post-match clash between both teams. Pedro was initially embroiled in a confrontation with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi - with Andrey Santos also on the scene - before Enrique marched over towards the situation. But rather than defusing the situation, the Spanish manager made it physical, laying his hands on Pedro before being held back by his own player Presnel Kimpembe. She was seen in high spirits during the event as she was spotted behind a set of DJ decks entertaining fans ScEnEs NoBoDy LiKeS tO SeE 🤪 — Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers) July 13, 2025 Tensions boiled after the final whistle following Chelsea's 3-0 win in the Club World Cup final Pedro fell to the floor in dramatic fashion, clutching at his face. Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia stepped in to defend their team-mate, holding back a visibly frustrated Gianluigi Donnarumma, who appeared to berate Pedro for his animated reaction. What followed was pandemonium, with around five Chelsea players swarming Donnarumma in the aftermath. The PSG goalkeeper was shoved by Tosin Adarabioyo, as Kimpembe continued his attempts to defuse tensions alongside Chelsea's Filip Jorgensen. Pedro eventually got back to his feet, only to find himself at the centre of a chaotic melee involving too many bodies to count. On the touchline, a furious Enzo Maresca stormed in to drag his players away, shouting at those involved as he tried to restore order. The Chelsea boss was also seen pulling Donnarumma aside, attempting to calm his fellow Italian in a bid to defuse the flare-up. The chaotic scenes followed a match that saw six yellow cards shared between the two sides, and a red card for PSG midfielder Joao Neves, who was sent off in the 85th minute for violent conduct. Speaking on the incident, Enrique said: 'This was completely avoidable at the end, my goal was always to separate footballers, there was a lot of tension and pressure, there was a whole bunch of pushing that we should all try to avoid. My intention is to avoid it getting worse.' Despite the post-match mayhem, Chelsea fans will remember Sunday night for the right reasons. The Blues became the fifth club - and the first from England - to win multiple FIFA Club World Cup titles, joining Real Madrid (five), Barcelona (three), Bayern Munich (two), and Corinthians (two). Maresca said of his team's performance: 'I have no words for the players. They all deserve this and it's a good moment. 'For me, we won the game in the first 10 minutes. We set the tempo and we were very good at pressing them. The conditions made it hard to keep going but the boys did well. 'Of course I am very excited [about the future] but I'm more excited that we have three weeks off.'

Country Road shuts down stores across the country as retail apocalypse strikes Australia
Iconic fashion retailer Country Road has shut down a number of stores amid plummeting sales. One of its longstanding flagship stores at Sydney CBD's Queen Victoria Building has shut up shop, as has sister brand Trenery in Mosman, on Sydney's affluent lower north shore. A Country Road outlet in the same suburb is also currently closed for renovations, while another CBD store at Pitt Street Mall is expected to close when its lease expires in three years' time, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. Daily Mail Australia has contacted Country Road Group for comment. The closures cap off a turbulent year for the Woolworths Holdings-owned retailer, which also includes fashion brands Mimco, Witchery, and POLITIX. Sales across the brands plummeted by 6.2 per cent in the first half of the 2024–25 financial year, citing economic and operational headwinds. It also comes just weeks after Country Road Group chief executive Raju Vuppalapati announced his resignation amid a lingering scandal over complaints handling by executives. Country Road was founded in 1974 as a niche women's shirting business that has grown into Australia's first lifestyle brand, renowned for its high-quality apparel, accessories, and homeware. It was also one of the first major Australian brands to open in the US. More to come.
