Keira Knightley wows in a shimmering black co-ord as she attends the 3rd Nouvelles Vagues International Biarritz Film Festival

Daily Mail​5 days ago
Keira Knightley turned heads as she arrived at the 3rd Nouvelles Vagues International Biarritz Film Festival on Friday.
The actress, 40, showed off her impeccable style in a shimmering black and white top, teamed with matching trousers.
She boosted her height in black heels and flashed her dazzling white smile while posing for snaps.
Meanwhile, Sofia Carson put on a glamorous display in a black layered maxi dress, with a belt that cinched her waist.
For 6 days, the Biarritz Film Festival – Nouvelles Vagues presents an international competition composed of 8 feature films never before released in French theaters.
Alongside the official competition, the Festival screens over thirty films, including an open-air screening.
It comes after new accounts have shown there is a whopping £7.1million in profits at Kiera's company Ponder Rights, including £411,000 earned in 2024.
Its riches sit alongside £9.7million held in performing arts company KCK Boo, as well as £7.8million worth of properties held in nominee company Charlotte Road - that's a total of almost £25million.
Explaining her frugality, Keira said: 'Living an [expensive] lifestyle means you can't hang out with people who don't live that lifestyle. It alienates you.'
'Some of my best, most hilarious times, have been in the least luxurious places.'
Keira is famously frugal - and when she shops at her local Tesco with her husband, Klaxons musician James Righton, they have been known to use separate self-service checkouts.
The actress lives in a £4million North London mansion with her family. She bought the pad using a £2.3million loan from her own company.
It comes after it was revealed Keira has 'reunited with Daniel Craig on the school run' after former co-stars enrolled their children in the same private school .
Keira's husband James is very involved in school activities, appearing in the Christmas show, and his enthusiasm is matched by Daniel and his Oscar-winning wife, Rachel Weisz.
'Keira and James are very into their children's school,' a source tells me.
'They always want to get involved and now it's rubbing off on Daniel and Rachel. Their kids are in the same year, which is handy.'
Keira recently offered insights into her passions and politics in a new interview with Vanity Fair Italy as she shared her views on Brexit and climate change.
The actress opened up about her 'left-wing artistic' opinions in a candid conversation with the fashion magazine in October.
Keira revealed how she cried over the decision to leave the European Union during Brexit and shared her worries that the world will 'explode' due to climate change.
Speaking on Brexit, she said: 'I campaigned for the remainside. I was in tears when Brexit happened. And I have no idea what is going to happen.
'But I really hope that, from now on, there will be better relations between the EU and Britain: the bad relationship was just ridiculous, particularly at a point when we needed to work together to solve such big problems.'
Sharing her concerns about climate change, Keira went on: 'That and climate change. I mean, I'm worried that the world will explode!
'I always tell my daughters to grab happiness wherever they can find it, but I'm aware it won't be easy with all these situations getting out of control.'
Elsewhere, Keira opened up about her opinion on paternity leave in the UK, which she claimed was a 'ridiculous system' because dads only get two weeks off.
She said: 'We just have to look up at the Scandinavian countries: that's how you bring dads into childcare more.
'However, if I look at my group of friends, I see things are evolving: when I bring my kids to school, all of the dads are there.
'It's easily fifty-fifty, but I'm aware I'm talking about a very left-wing artistic group of people. We're all very progressive.'

Three Ubisoft chiefs found guilty of enabling culture of sexual harassment

Three former executives at the video game company Ubisoft have been given suspended prison sentences for enabling a culture of sexual and psychological harassment in the workplace at the end of the first big trial to stem from the #MeToo movement in the gaming industry. The court in Bobigny, north of Paris, had heard how the former executives used their position to bully or sexually harass staff, leaving women terrified and feeling like pieces of meat. Former staff had said that between 2012 and 2020, the company's offices in Montreuil, east of Paris, were run with a toxic culture of bullying and sexism that one worker likened to a 'boys' club above the law'. Ubisoft is a French family business that rose to become one of the biggest video game creators in the world. The company has been behind several blockbusters including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and the children's favourite Just Dance. The state prosecutor, Antoine Haushalter, had told the court the world of video games and its subculture had an element of 'systemic' sexism and potential abuse and called the trial a 'turning point' for the gaming world. Thomas François, 52, a former Ubisoft editorial vice-president, was found guilty of sexual harassment, psychological harassment and an attempted sexual assault. He was given a three-year suspended prison sentence and fined €30,000 (£26,000). The court heard how he once tied a female member of staff to a chair with tape, pushed the chair into a lift and pressed a button at random. He was also accused of forcing one woman wearing a skirt to do handstands. She told the court: 'He was my superior and I was afraid of him. He made me do handstands. I did it to get it over with and get rid of him.' At a 2015 office Christmas party with a Back to the Future theme, François allegedly told a member of staff that he liked her 1950s dress. He then allegedly stepped towards her to kiss her on the mouth as his colleagues restrained her by the arms and back. She shouted and broke free. François had told the court there was a 'culture of joking around'. He said: 'I never tried to harm anyone.' Serge Hascoët, 59, Ubisoft's former chief creative officer and second-in-command, was found guilty of psychological harassment and complicity in sexual harassment. He was acquitted of sexual harassment and complicity in psychological harassment. He was given an 18-month suspended sentence and a fine of €45,000. Sign up to Headlines Europe A digest of the morning's main headlines from the Europe edition emailed direct to you every week day after newsletter promotion The court heard he once handed a young female member of staff a tissue in which he had blown his nose, saying: 'You can resell it, it's worth gold at Ubisoft.' The court heard that Hascoët bullied assistants by making them carry out personal tasks for him such as going to his home to wait for parcel deliveries. Hascoët had told the court he was unaware of any harassment, saying: 'I have never wanted to harass anyone and I don't think I have.' Hascoët's lawyer, Jean-Guillaume Le Mintier, said his client was considering an appeal. The former Ubisoft game director, Guillaume Patrux, 41, was found guilty of psychological harassment and given a 12-month suspended sentence and a fine of €10,000. The court heard he had punched walls, mimed hitting staff, cracked a whip near colleagues' faces, threatened to carry out an office shooting and played with a cigarette lighter near workers' faces, setting alight a man's beard. He had denied the charges.

Charlene said: 'Whether we liked it or not, Sunetra gave us a call of doom when she walked in this morning...' Sunetra said: 'Everyone I met now, as soon as they come towards me, get ready for the speech, things have been going from bad to worse. 'Six weeks ago I sprained my ankle, it was agony.

It's nothing showbiz. It's not glamourous. 'I was just old. I couldn't get my foot in my slipper. 'Then I've been poor me, poor me, everyone who sees me, "Oh you poor thing with this bandage on your leg". 'On my way to physio for said sprained ankle, six weeks after injury, I'm thinking I'm nearly going to walk again properly. 'On the way, my flip flop gets caught under the door matt... 'Flip flop gets caught, I trip, my left legs comes out to save my face from hitting the ground... 'And guess what? Sprained left ankle!' The TV star then pulled out her crutches from underneath her. She continued: 'So now doctor Zoe Hanna from Casualty is sitting in casualty being recognised by everyone...' She played Zoe Hanna in the BBC show on/off from 2007 until 2024. Elsewhere in the episode Dragons' Den star Emma Grede and Hugo Vickers appeared on the show to chat to the panel.

She recently completed a whopping bike ride called Two Wheels For Meals and rode for 18 days all the way from Land's End to Dover to raise funds to donate to food poverty charities. To prepare for the big ride, Rosemary trained and worked on her fitness, but she 'kept falling off her bike'. Things took a turn when she fell onto an unsuspecting snake while cycling in Cornwall. 'I fell onto an adder and it did bite me... on my leg,' Rosemary recalled. 'The problem was I didn't dare tell anyone, this was in Cornwall I fell into a hedge and my leg went into the grass and I literally fell on the adder.' She added: 'It just obviously didn't like me, it bit me.' However, the TV chef revealed she didn't tell anyone as she wanted to continue the journey. 'But I didn't want to tell anyone because I had to get from that destination to that destination everyday it was sometimes 55 miles, sometimes 48, it was a lot,' Rosemary said. Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV1 from 12:30pm and is available to stream on ITVX.
