Amal Clooney reveals why she and George Clooney don't share photos of kids
Amal Clooney is opening up about her famously private life with husband George Clooney and their twin children. The 47-year-old international law and human rights lawyer, speaking to Glamour magazine about her work in the U.K. with King Charles' the King's Trust for an interview published July 3, opened up about the secrets to her successful marriage with Clooney, 64, after more than a decade. "I have a partner in life who is so supportive of what I do. So I don't feel like I have to apologize for it or rein it in," she said. "And I remember when I became a mom, which was obviously a new frontier, (George) was the first one to say, 'I know you've got this speech at the Security Council. You have to go; I've got the kids, don't worry about it.'" The Clooneys share 8-year-old twins Ella and Alexander, born nearly three years after they were married in September 2014. Amal has spoken to the United Nations Security Council on multiple occasions, including about war crimes in Ukraine. "I feel so incredibly lucky to share every day with him. And now we're four. And I don't take any of it for granted," she added. "I treasure the laughter and the joy that I get from just being with them." The interview was published a week after she and George attended Buckingham Palace for the 2025 King's Trust Awards on June 25. The couple met with King Charles and young people recognized for inspiring work in their communities. A 19-year-old named Alice, who started a beadmaking business in Kenya, was recognized with the Amal Clooney Women's Empowerment Award. 'I had to cut it out': George Clooney shows off hair transformation at Tony Awards Amal Clooney explains why she and George don't share photos of kids The Clooney Foundation for Justice co-founder also opened up about the difficulty of maintaining privacy and the steps she's taken to protect her family. "Creating private moments and spaces is becoming increasingly difficult. But that's also why we entertain a lot at home," she told Glamour, adding that she uses "a phone basket" to collect guests' cell phones. She continued, "It's important to get that balance where you have time alone with your family and with your friends where people feel like you can have a safe and frank exchange." Clooney also alluded to "intrusions" that threaten her family's privacy. "I would say becoming a parent means you're more troubled by some of the intrusions. So we do the best we can to minimize any impact on our children," she said. "We don't put our children out there; we've never put their photo out there or anything like that."

One preschooler's wild graduation dream is sparking joy for millions
When 5-year-old Collins walked across the stage at her preschool graduation in Tennessee, her parents expected the usual answer. Maybe 'teacher.' Maybe 'doctor.' Something sweet and safe. Instead, she took the mic, smiled widely, and proudly declared:'When I grow up, I want to be a wicked witch.' The auditorium erupted in laughter. Her mom, Kelsey Grimm, who was recording the moment from the audience, froze. 'I wanted to crawl under the seats at first,' she told Newsweek. 'And felt like I needed to explain that we aren't doing any witchcraft or anything weird at home. She just loves the Wicked movie.' Related: Viral TikTok shows toddler melting hearts with train greetings It turns out, Collins' unexpected career path was inspired by her deep love for the musical-turned-movie. 'She knows the entire soundtrack and loved the movie, becoming obsessed with Elphaba and Glinda,' Kelsey said. 'This is where she got the idea to become a wicked witch.' Grimm, a recording artist, had been excited to introduce her daughter to Wicked, a favorite of her own. But she didn't expect it to shape Collins' preschool graduation speech—or go viral. She posted the clip to Instagram with the caption: The moment resonated immediately. Within a day, the video had over 27 million views and nearly a million likes. Parents in the comments celebrated Collins' confidence and imagination—and shared their own kids' off-the-wall graduation dreams. @sooooopsnakes – 'My kid during pre-k grad said they wanted to be a robber and steal people's money ' @caelennoelle – 'Last year, Reagan said, 'a mermaid queen' after all the other girls said 'mom' or 'teacher' .'' @stephaniegoodfellow – 'I wanted to be American…lol I thought it was a job everyone was proud to be …….I'm Canadian.' One commenter, @her_greythoughts, summed it up perfectly:'Protect her. May this spark never fade away.' That spark—the willingness to dream out loud, even if it's unexpected—is part of what makes moments like these so powerful. Especially at an age where kids haven't yet learned to filter their answers to fit what adults might expect. Related: 'This could have been an email': Toddler's priceless reaction to meeting baby sister goes viral There's also something deeply relatable in Grimm's moment of panic: the instinct to explain or soften our kids' quirks when they don't land quite the way we hoped. But in a culture that sometimes values perfection over play, Collins' clarity was a reminder that joy, imagination, and confidence can come in the most delightfully wicked forms. As Grimm put it simply:'Everyone loved her and thinks she's hysterical.' And maybe that's all we really want as parents—not perfectly rehearsed lines, but moments of truth, even when they come with a cackle.

From Ironic to Iconic: Retro Sneakers Are The Trainer Trend Of The Summer
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. Back in 2018, Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber (then Baldwin), and Tracey Ellis Ross all appeared in the year's hottest sneaker: the Balenciaga Triple S. The raised-platform design, which first debuted in 2017, had signaled the rise of a new era — that of the 'ugly sneaker,' chunky styles with an athletic look and a more-is-more aesthetic. Think: Louis Vuitton's Archlight sneaker (worn by Jaden Smith) and Gucci's Rhyton. But, as the pendulum of fashion trends swings between extremes, it's reversed course. It's been seven years, and Hadid is now in $150 Vivaia ballet sneakers, Bieber is in Onitsuka Tigers, and plenty of other trendsetters are co-signing the rise of something more minimalist… and familiar. When it comes to 2025 trends, the scales have tipped as shoppers (whether famous or not) are in search of a slimmer silhouette, drawing inspiration from '70s running shoes, '90s racing boots, and '00s ballet flats. Starting in 2022, the rise of the soccer-adjacent Adidas Samba was a bellwether that things were moving in a more low-profile direction. Today, a whole new class of styles, from designer runners from Loewe and The Row to revived athletic styles like the Puma Speedcat, Adidas Taekwondo, and the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 are driving the return of the retro-leaning sneaker trend. The irony of 'ugly' shoes has run its course, and what has replaced it is a desire for something simple and comfortably nostalgic. The Return of Y2K Aesthetics For a generation of Gen Z shoppers, embracing thrift shopping and nostalgic trends has sparked interest in sneaker silhouettes that last dominated the culture in the early aughts. There are hundreds of listings for styles like the Puma Speedcat (which launched in 1999) on Grailed. As resale popularity spikes, the brand is simultaneously relaunching its OG silhouettes, riding the wave of nostalgia and introducing iconic Puma silhouettes to a new generation of shoppers. 'Consumers are leaning more than ever into the rising Y2K aesthetic, which is why slimmer silhouettes are having such a powerful moment with a demand that just continues to grow,' says Christina Mirabelli, Puma's director of sportstyle marketing. 'Consumers have a true passion for 'what's old is new again,' which is how so many of these archival slim styles are coming to the forefront.' The Move Towards Minimalism In the last two years, several minimalist designer styles have dominated the conversation: Most notably, Miu Miu X New Balance 's 530 SL, Louis Vuitton's Sneakerina, Dries Van Noten's sneaker, and Loewe's Ballet Runner 2.0 (which followed the success of the first iteration released in 2019). The rise of these luxury label offerings — defined by streamlined silhouettes and a slim fit through the foot — has mirrored the rise of quiet luxury across the board. Despite price tags that range from just under $550 to over $1,000, Miu Miu and Dries Van Noten sneakers both made the Lyst Index 's hottest products last year alongside more affordable counterparts like the Speedcat and the Adidas SL72. While these sneakers often come with a color palette that fits their minimalist silhouette, a slew of playful colors, patterns, and materialities are popping up as well. Dries Van Noten's sneakers — which are almost entirely sold out in both the New York and L.A. stores — in addition to black, white, and tan colorways, are available in a bold green suede, red snakeskin leather, and a metallic pink leather. You can expect to see this juxtaposition evolve according to Ashley Ahwah, VP Adidas Originals North America: 'Metallics, ponyhair, patent, and bold colors are dominating,' she explains. For 2025, it's about 'understated silhouettes with the juxtaposition of bold colors and materials.' The Power of Sportfluence Whether it's via professional athletes, dancers, or race car drivers, the influence of sports on fashion is an enduring trend. Though a far cry from the satin pointe shoes worn by professional dancers, a sneaker-ballet flat hybrid has popped up as one of this year's biggest sneaker trends. In terms of styles, Miu Miu's Gymnasium Ballerinas, along with collaborations between Solomon and Sandy Liang and Bad Bunny and Adidas, have come to embody the look that can be tied back to nostalgia for the '90s and early '00s when styles like the Nike Air Rift first hit their stride. Often designed with a slipper silhouette and ribbon laces or straps that criss-cross the top of the foot, they couldn't be more different from the 'dad sneakers' that dominated the trend cycle for so long. The Lyst Q1 Index Report indicates that the Puma Speedcat ballet is the third buzziest product so far of 2025, with searches for ballet sneakers in general up 1300% year over year. It's also worth noting the rising cultural influence of other sport-inspired styles. Adidas credits the comeback of the Samba, a soccer sneaker, with helping launch a revival in other sports-adjacent trainers. 'The success of Samba and soccer… has opened the appetite from our consumer to seek iterations and looks that are more low-profile,' says Ahwah. See: the Taekwondo, which the brand relaunched last year after it first debuted in the early 2000s for sparring on the mat. As well as: Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, today worn by stars like Bieber and Kaia Gerber, but originally a silhouette for athletes to wear during the 1966 Olympics. Puma's Speedcat, which was first designed in 1999 as a Formula One racing shoe, has returned with a vengeance as fandom for the sport has reached astronomical heights — securing its spot as one of the hottest products on multiple Lyst reports over the last year. Most recently, this design was spotted on Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. While technological advances mean that these sport-inspired styles may no longer be used by professional sportspeople, their snug fit and simple profile make them ideal for off-duty outfits on days that we're craving more than just old-school aesthetics, but also the familiarity and comfort that comes from nostalgia.
