Vanessa Kirby Says Playing Pregnant Sue Storm ‘Changed' Her
The Fantastic Four: First Steps star Vanessa Kirby recently opened up about how playing a pregnant Sue Storm in the superhero film changed her. In the movie, Kirby's Storm is pregnant with her and Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards' son Franklin. The character's pregnancy is echoed in real life, as the actress herself is pregnant with her and boyfriend Paul Rabil's first child. Vanessa Kirby talks about playing pregnant Sue Storm In a recent interview, Vanessa Kirby opened up about Sue Storm's character arc in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. 'Sue was never sat down,' the Napoleon actress told PEOPLE. 'She was never huffing and puffing about it.' Kirby stressed that the character's pregnancy 'didn't define' the latter. 'She was absolutely a mother, and of course, in the comics, that's so definitively her,' she added. 'But she's also been a team member that defends, that goes up against great threats.' Kirby explained that she 'had the lived experience of somebody who was doing this incredibly sacred thing and fulfilling what she needed to do at the same time as a woman and a team member.' The 37-year-old noted that this experience 'changed' her. The Pieces of a Woman star revealed she is expecting her first child in May 2025, while attending a CCXPMX Film Festival panel in Mexico City. Moreover, in June, the actress shared a post on Instagram, where she said she learned a lot about being a first-time mother from playing Sue Storm. The Fantastic Four: First Steps launches in theaters across the United States on July 25, 2025. Matt Shakman, who previously directed episodes of WandaVision, helmed the film. Ian Springer, Jeff Kaplan, Eric Pearson, and Josh Friedman worked on the screenplay. The former three also developed the film's story. The film currently has an 88% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes. This is much higher than the scores of previous Fantastic Four film adaptations. Besides Kirby, the film also stars Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Sarah Niles.

These Boho Boots Will Be Fall's Status Shoe
Nothing fires up Google's algorithm quite like talk of the return of skinny jeans, but for fall/winter 2025 designers are conspiring to relaunch another dormant Noughties trend: slouchy boho boots that puddle around the ankles and fold over the calves. Seen on the likes of Kate Moss and Sienna Miller back in the day, the style also has a touch of swashbuckling Jack Sparrow about it (another Noughties icon). Sienna Miller in Moss in on the fall/winter 2025 runways, Ralph Lauren and Zimmermann took a more subtle approach via elegant knee-high leather boots with buccaneer buckle detailing and a slight scrunch. Others went full-on pirate, with boots big enough to fill with loot – at Balmain the crumpled-up boots were so cavernous you could fit another leg in there, and some even had hidden coin purses concealed in the folds, where you can quite literally hide your treasure. Louis Vuitton leaned into boho Noughties nostalgia with its sheepskin-lined studded boots that rippled over the ankle (very Sienna Miller circa 2003). Other styles, meanwhile, had a sleeker leg with a fold over the top, in true Three Musketeers fashion. Ralph Lauren AW25. Zimmermann AW25. Alessandro Viero One of the precursors for this revival has been the renewed interest in Vivienne Westwood's famous Pirate boots, which were designed in the '80s, but later defined Noughties style. Earlier this summer, Haim recreated an image of Kate Moss leaning against a car in the buckled, scrunched-up boots. They featured in Westwood's first runway show, Pirate, in the autumn/winter 1981 season, where they were styled with smock shirts and admiral boots. 'Malcolm and I didn't want to be seen as token rebels,' the designer later said of that collection. 'We wanted to get off this island and plunder the world, like pirates.' Louis Vuitton AW25. Balmain AW25. Another brand that will always be aligned with this style of boot is boho pioneer Isabel Marant. Earlier this month Vogue declared that 'Isabel Marant feels so right for now,' noting that even the wedge sneaker has seen a 1,580% spike in searches on eBay year on year. Another longtime Marant signature is suede boho boots that look like they have been squished, with the fabric scrunching and pooling around the ankle. Onitsuka Tiger AW25. Courtesy of Onitsuka Tiger Sportmax AW25. Armando Grillo White leather slouchy boots couldn't be more '80s, but for this autumn, boots are realized in richer shades such as chestnut, black, grey and burgundy. These boots also lend themselves to the Noughties boot tuck, which started bubbling up on the street-style scene this February. 'I'm living by my own mantra that skinny jeans walked so jeans in boots could run,' Vogue's Julia Hobbs explained in February. 'What started as a tongue-in-cheek take on 2010s 'date-night dressing' has become my everyday uniform.' And any of these boots, wherever they fall on the pirate scale, can house a pair of drainpipes snuggly in the leg. Ahoy autumn! Shop slouchy ankle boots:
