Alexander Skarsgard, Zoe Saldana, and Co. Join Cartier in Stockholm for a High Jewelry Affair
Cartier feted the debut of its newest high jewelry collection, En Equilibre, in Stockholm last night. The collection showcased the jewelry house's approach to balance: no overwhelming metalwork, space for the impressive stones to breathe in the designs, and a purposeful use of color and form to accentuate and complement each element of the pieces.

The exhibition, tucked up an impressive staircase from the water's edge, was bookended by activations, one showcasing artisans hard at work, the other the Swedish art of fika, or coffee, sweet treats, and conversation. Another surprising element was the stone room, which showcased a selection of exceptional stones not yet made into a jewelry piece. Suggested designs sat alongside the gems, but the final creations will ultimately be up to the client and whichever paraibas, corals, sapphires, diamonds, or emeralds she, or he, desires.

For the evening portion, guests arrived via boat and walked up a trail through the scenic woods, the modern gallery appearing out of almost nowhere. Friends of the house Zoe Saldana and Deepika Padukone both wore impressive pieces from the collection, Padukone opting for a necklace with a 58.08-carat cabochon sapphire center stone surrounded by a rippling of diamonds, and Saldana, a more colorful set of emeralds and spinels. Shogun actress Anna Sawai dazzled in a rubelite and diamond set, while local guest Alexander Skarsgard, fresh from the Cannes Film Festival where his outfits were the talk of the town, chose a brooch pinned at his shirt collar—a hunk of yellow beryl in the paws of the Cartier panthère. All four seemed happy to engage with the global media in attendance.

Denmark's Plan to Fight Deepfakes: Give Citizens Copyright to Their Own Likeness
Here's a weird potential future: When you're born, you are issued a birth certificate, a social security card, and a copyright. That possibility is emerging in Denmark, where officials are considering changes to the nation's copyright laws to provide citizens with a right to their own likeness as a means of combating AI-generated deepfakes, according to The Guardian. The proposal, advanced by the Danish Ministry of Culture and expected for a parliamentary vote this fall, would grant Danish citizens copyright control over their own image, facial features, and voice. This protection would, in theory, allow Danes to demand that online platforms remove deepfakes and other digital manipulations that were shared without their consent. It would also cover 'realistic, digitally generated imitations' of an artist's performance without consent, so no AI-generated versions of your favorite artists' songs would be allowed. In addition to granting copyright protections to people, the proposed amendment would establish 'severe fines' for any tech platform that does not comply with the law and respond to requests for takedown. The person who is impersonated in the deepfake could also seek compensation. 'In the bill we agree and are sending an unequivocal message that everybody has the right to their own body, their own voice and their own facial features, which is apparently not how the current law is protecting people against generative AI,' Danish culture minister, Jakob Engel-Schmidt, told The Guardian. 'Human beings can be run through the digital copy machine and be misused for all sorts of purposes and I'm not willing to accept that.' Denmark is far from the only nation taking action on deepfakes. Earlier this year, the United States passed the Take It Down Act, a much more narrowly defined bill that gives people the right to request that platforms take down nonconsensually shared sexually explicit images of them—though some activists have argued that the law is ill-defined and could be weaponized by those acting in bad faith.

Billie Eilish's Single Reaches New Peaks, A Year Into Its Life On The Charts
Billie Eilish's 'Wildflower' reaches new highs on the Pop Airplay and Radio Songs charts after more ... More than a year on several of Billboard's rock and alternative rankings.

(Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage for Live Nation) Billie Eilish's current single 'Wildflower' will likely serve as the final promotional cut from her album Hit Me Hard and Soft. The track has already spent more than a year appearing on a number of Billboard charts, as it has been a fan favorite ever since its parent release arrived, and only in the past few months has it finally earned the promotional push it has long deserved. After a year on multiple rankings, 'Wildflower' is still relatively new to some other tallies, and it is hitting new peaks on several lists at the same time. 'Wildflower' Almost Reaches the Top 10 'Wildflower' has only spent a few weeks on some of Billboard's radio rankings, as it was only sent to stations months ago. This week, the track hits a new high point on all three of the radio rosters on which it currently appears. The cut is inching closer to the top 10 on the Pop Airplay tally, where this frame it ascends to No. 12. Over on the Adult Pop Airplay list, Eilish's cut reenters at No. 35, which now stands as its best showing. The same tune pushes three spots north on the all-genre Radio Songs ranking and settles in the same position as on the Adult Pop Airplay tally. Only a Few Weeks on the Radio Charts 'Wildflower' has spent 15 weeks on the Pop Airplay chart, the most among the radio rosters. It has only racked up six frames on the Radio Songs tally and five weeks, including this comeback, on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking. 'Wildflower' Has Lived on the Rock Lists for a Year Meanwhile, when looking at Billboard's rock and alternative lists — those which are not focused entirely on airplay — 'Wildflower' has been a mainstay for over a year. Eilish's smash has spent 57 weeks on all of the following rankings: the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, Rock Streaming Songs, and Alternative Streaming Songs charts. It also reached its first year on the Hot 100 just last week.

Inside the Hamptons' Elite Fitness Scene—Complete with Cartier Bracelets and Lamborghinis
It's 9:30 am, and I'm sweating in the back row of the Formula x Meredith, one of the Hamptons' most popular workout classes. In front of me are CEOs, influencers and stay-at-home moms who have paid $55 to jiggle with ankle weights in a room heated over 85 degrees. I clock four pairs of Hoka sneakers, five pairs of On running sneakers, six Splits59 spandex sets, seven Cartier Love bracelets, five yellow-gold Cartier Juste un Clou bracelets and more diamond tennis bracelets than I can count. Most of instructor Meredith Shumway's classes are sold out until Labor Day. In the ultra-commodified Hamptons, scoring a mat at one of the trendiest workouts is yet another status symbol.
