Linda Evangelista, 60, drinks beer with son Augustin, 18... after hanging with her ex's wife Salma Hayek
The 60-year-old Vogue supermodel shared the playful photos from the trip to Instagram account on Monday.
In one snapshot, both the leggy looker and her 18-year-old mini-me son Augustin were seen enjoying a cold glass of beer while in Rome.
The mother and son pair were seated outdoors at a restaurant as they held up a chilled glass of Peroni beer, which is from Italy.
Linda looked chic in a brown button-up shirt with aviator prescription glasses and her dark hair worn back. Augustin smiled for the camera as he had on a white T-shirt with his hair worn wild.
The legal age to drink alcohol in the United States is 21, but in Italy it is 18.
Augustin is the son of Linda's ex-boyfriend Francois-Henri Pinault, who is now wed to Hollywood actress Salma Hayek.
The family was last seen together in early June as they came together to celebrate Augustin graduating high school.
The supermodel looked every inch the proud mother as she posed with her son on his big day.
Taking to Instagram, she uploaded a slew of snaps which showed Augustin proudly posing with his diploma before celebrating with a personalized cake and enjoying a cigar with his billionaire father.
In one sweet snap, the graduate hugged his stepmother Salma, 58, and mom Linda as they posed alongside his father Francois, 63.
Linda captioned the snaps: 'Then this happened. ♥️✨I'm one proud momma. Blessed blessed blessed…'
Linda and Francois-Henri briefly dated from September 2005 until January 2006.
The Kering CEO started dating From Dusk Till Dawn star Salma in April that year, when Linda was pregnant with Augustin.
In 2007, Linda and Francois-Henri announced their engagement and welcomed their daughter Valentina in September.
When Augustin was first born, Linda initially kept his paternity a secret.
Years later she publicly revealed the father was French billionaire François-Henri, in a child support battle that was ultimately settled out of court in 2012.
Linda previously gave an insight into her co-parenting relationship with Salma in an interview with Vogue.
She explained that she spends time with Salma and her ex during the holiday season. However, one Thanksgiving, she was ill and not able to join the festivities.
'I was sick at Thanksgiving. And Salma got on the plane with her daughter, came here, and made Thanksgiving dinner,' she explained.

Linda then humorously revealed she had given Hayek an 'eclectic wish list' for what she wanted to eat.
'I wanted her Mexican chicken with truffled potatoes. And she spent the day in the kitchen and cooked it herself. No help.'
'The kids helped her at the end. She made a feast - a beautiful, beautiful meal. I had told her that I wasn't going to have Thanksgiving; I wasn't feeling well. And she said, "Oh yes you are: I am coming." And poof, she was here.'
Linda also opened up about her son and wanting to give him a 'normal upbringing' - despite her celebrity status.
She revealed both she and Augustin sit in the nosebleed seats at events after offers for front row seats at venues at Madison Square Garden dwindled down.
'Now we buy our tickets and we sit with the fans in nosebleed. We're fine with that. I wanted to have a very normal upbringing for my child.'

I tried posh £21 fish and chips that David Beckham ordered – 3 words sum it up
I was dispatched to see if a luxury order of fish and chips was worth the hefty price tag What's the most you'd be willing to fork out for fish and chips? For me, it's not about the money but the time spent journeying to the east coast where two chip shops serve up fare so delightful it's downright soul-stirring. In St Andrews, Tailend and Cromar are where you'll find succulent haddock in a batter that's been fried to a masterful standard I've not seen elsewhere - an astonishingly light, supremely crunchy coating with frilly, jagged edges that audibly snap into fragments. This culinary masterpiece is nestled atop a pile of chips that aren't too chunky, boasting a crispness, fluffiness, and creaminess that could sway even a staunch advocate of skinny fries like myself. These chippies set the bar by which I judge all other fish and chips. Having once been a local, I now stay in Glasgow, regrettably a 90-minute drive from chippy heaven. However, I've recently been given the mission to determine whether a posh serving of fish and chips justifies its price tag, reports the Express. Inspired by a review of £18 fish and chips, my quest led me to Crabshakk, the fashionable seafood eatery, which opened its doors in Finnieston well before it became the Glasgow's foodie epicentre. The restaurant has drawn in celebrities like David Beckham and Sam Heughan. Although the Outlander star kept mum about his meal, Becks excitedly shared his dining experience on Instagram, praising the scallops "cooked to perfection", rollmops reminiscent of his grandmother's, and, of course, the fish and chips. Their latest venture, Crabshakk Botanics off Byres Road, exudes sleek and chic with industrial black fittings, trailing greenery, timber-clad walls and floor-to-ceiling windows — an ambience my fellow diner described as "very New York". We agree it's the type of swishy restaurant to bring friends visiting from out of town. When I'm off on a weekday, as someone with inflexible working hours, I like to wonder what other people who are out and about do for a living. I don't have to think too hard – at noon on a Wednesday, the clientele at this upmarket seafood restaurant consists of three tables populated by well-groomed, silver-haired guests. Before a father and daughter arrive, we are the youngest diners by decades - a journalist enjoying a day off in lieu with a friend on the backshift. One look at the menu and you know it's for seafood lovers. Lobster, crab, scallops, langoustine, squid, Arbroath smokies — whatever you fancy, they've got it. Non-seafood mains are few, featuring one meat option (steak frites) and four vegan dishes. My companion opts for the complimentary fizzy water, whilst despite being off duty, my afternoon plans rule out alcohol. I spring for the Spicy Rita (£8), a coral mocktail blending citrus, sweetness and savoury elements that pleasantly evoked tomato flavours. Rather than the traditional salted rim, black Himalayan salt adorns one edge of the glass, not unlike a sandy bum on the beach. The service here is courteous and prompt. It's a quiet lunch service and our hefty plates of fried seafood and chips soon arrive. So, my verdict on £21 fish and chips — not worth it. Giving credit where it's due, it's a good meal overall and they certainly don't scrimp on portion size. The chips are creamy and delicious, but it's the fish that falls flat. While I wasn't anticipating it to be the best I've ever had, the fried coating is thicker, darker and oilier than it should be. A look at TripAdvisor reviews reveals I'm not alone in this observation. The creamy tartare sauce is good but one glaring omission are peas, mushy or otherwise. Meanwhile, my friend happily tucks into her breaded monkfish cheeks accompanied by skinny fries, salad and a tangy and moreish housemade ketchup (£27). To share, we can't pass on the tomato and watermelon salad with salsa verde (£9) garnished with what appear to be edible succulent leaves that provide pops of salty juiciness. The restaurant didn't invite me for a review nor were they aware I was conducting one. Having footed the bill, I winced at the cost but I'm not overly put out. I'm not against the idea of posh fish and chips. But I'd suggest holding off on the craving until you can make your way to the East Neuk of Fife.

Sir Alex Ferguson buys Glasgow flat after selling mansion
According to the Scottish Sun, Govan-born Sir Alex has purchased a property in the West End. The newspaper revealed he paid £500,000 for a luxury flat in Hyndland in September last year, months after selling his Cheshire mansion for £3.25million. A source told the publication: "It's good to see him back in a city he calls home. 'People in Glasgow have loved seeing him.'

She captioned her Instagram story: "Met a legend today, Sir Alex! "His greatest quote - 'There was no way I could contemplate taking the England job. "Can you imagine me doing that? "A Scotsman?

Diana McVeagh obituary
The writer Diana McVeagh, who has died aged 98, carved a niche for herself as a particular authority on the composers Edward Elgar and Gerald Finzi. Indeed she may aptly be described as the doyenne of Elgar studies, which previously had been a largely male preserve. While still in her 20s she was invited by the scholar Eric Blom, as an adviser to the publishers Dent, to write a book about Elgar. The result, published as Edward Elgar: His Life and Music (1955), preceded three other major postwar biographies (by Jerrold Northrop Moore, Michael Kennedy and Robert Anderson), though Diana outlived those writers. Replete with insight and characterised by the bold, sometimes controversial, judgments that she became known for in later years, it was a remarkable achievement. Revisiting the subject in Elgar the Music Maker (2007) half a century later, she did not hesitate to revise some of those judgments in the light of experience. In the 1950s, for example, she had not been able to hear the pre-Gerontius cantatas, of which she was quite dismissive, in performance. In the later book, with the benefit of subsequent commercial recordings, she made amends by discussing those works, not least Caractacus and The Light of Life, at some length and with greater admiration. It was the high opinion of the 1955 Elgar book held by Finzi that persuaded the latter's family, on his death the following year, to approach Diana to undertake his life and works. 'We were charmed by her bright personality,' wrote Finzi's widow, Joy, 'a great character for one so apparently demure and young.' It was a work long in gestation, not least because the trove of unpublished correspondence and other previously unseen material released by the family needed to be absorbed (though a good deal of this had already been incorporated in Stephen Banfield's fine appraisal of 1997). Diana's biography finally appeared in 2005, and her monumental edition of the letters, 1,052 pages in length, scrupulously annotated, followed in 2021. Diana was born in Ipoh, the capital of the state of Perak in the then British colony of Malaya, where her father, John McVeagh, was the manager of a rubber plantation. Her mother, Margaret, had studied singing with Harry Plunket Greene at the Royal College of Music, London. The family returned to her mother's homeland in the Welsh valleys when Diana was five years old, but at the age of 10 she was sent to Malvern girls' college, where she remained for eight years before going to the Royal College of Music in 1944. Her intention had been to study the piano with Kathleen Long, but arriving with one hand broken in a recent riding accident, she took instead weekly lessons with Frank Howes, music critic of the Times. This in turn led to her filing a review of Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius for the paper in 1948, the first of many she contributed over the following two decades. From 1964 to 1967 she acted as assistant editor to Andrew Porter on the Musical Times. She subsequently joined the editorial board of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, with particular responsibility for performers, and contributing the articles on Elgar and Finzi. In addition to Musical Times, she contributed many articles to such periodicals as The Listener and Records and Recordings. Despite her somewhat feline protective aura, Diana was a warm-hearted, encouraging colleague, not least to those of us fortunate to work with her at New Grove. For three years she suffered from the debilitating disease myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME or chronic fatigue syndrome) before relinquishing her editorial responsibilities to spend more time with her husband, Bill (CW) Morley, a pathologist, in his advancing years. Among the bold judgments of Elgar in her youthful study is the observation that he 'was never to surpass the poetic delicacy of Stanford or the unselfconscious nobility of Parry at their best, and they could never have written anything as meretricious as Elgar at his worst'. Her chapter on Elgar's character is a minor masterpiece of insight into the polarities by which his nature was marked: caustic, tactless, boisterous on the one hand, generous, warm-hearted and sensitive on the other. Attributing that sensitivity in part to Elgar's inferiority complex, which made him 'alive to the problems of others', she is frank too about his lapses into small-mindedness and bigotry – the result, perhaps, of his lack of a formal education. She also wrote sentiently about the traumatic impact of the death in 1920 of Elgar's wife on his creative impulses and zest for life. Surprisingly dismissive about late works such as the Piano Quintet and Violin Sonata, she made amends in Elgar the Music Maker by acknowledging the ghostly, evocative passages of the former, and the poetic and reflective material of the latter, which raise these works to a superior level. The Finzi biography, like both the Elgar books, was distinguished by the wit and elegance of its prose style, as well as the author's ear for nuance in the music. As she aptly pointed out, to experience Finzi's celebrated choral work Intimations of Immortality as merely euphonious and benign is to miss the desolation at its heart. She married Morley in 1950; he died in 1994. Diana Mary McVeagh, writer, born 6 September 1926; died 2 July 2025
