6 things to know about Pom Klementieff, the silent breakout star of ‘Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning'
Born in Quebec but raised in France, Klementieff trained at the prestigious Cours Florent drama school in Paris. Before Hollywood came calling, she appeared in several French films, honing her craft in a range of genres from psychological drama to offbeat comedy. 4. She's no stranger to franchise fame
While Mission: Impossible introduced her to a new audience, Klementieff is already familiar to fans of blockbuster cinema. She gained international attention as Mantis in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, where her awkward, empathic alien stood in stark contrast to the ruthless Paris. 5. Silence was a creative choice
Although the some critics have raised concerns about Paris's near-wordless presence in Mission: Impossible, claiming it reinforces feminine Asian stereotypes, the choice was an artistic one, and it was deliberate. Klementieff and McQuarrie worked to strip the character's dialogue to the bare minimum, letting her body language and expressions carry the story. The result: a performance that was all tension and unpredictability. 6. Fashion is her personal playground
Off-screen, Klementieff has carved a reputation for her bold fashion choices. A fixture on red carpets from Cannes to Seoul, she mixes edgy couture with unexpected accessories. Her style reflects her approach to acting: risk-taking, unorthodox and never dull.

Tomorrowland lands in Shanghai: what to expect from the music festival's Asian debut in November
The winter 2025 edition of Tomorrowland, held in the French ski resort of Alpe d'Huez, also featured indoor stages and was a preview for the kind of immersive, climate-controlled environment that will be replicated in Shanghai. With The Magic of Tomorrowland in Shanghai, organisers are looking to introduce this evolving format to a new audience, adapting the brand's large-scale appeal for an urban, indoor setting in Asia. Thailand has also recently announced that the country will host a Tomorrowland festival in 2026, to be held in Chon Buri province.

Red carpet royalty: the Dakota Johnson style evolution
We revisit some of the best red carpet looks of Dakota Johnson, who proves that she's always had that celebrity style in her DNA Dakota Johnson is having her moment. With Celine Song's Materialists hitting Asian cinemas this August, all eyes are on the actress once again. But red carpets have long been her natural habitat. As a third-generation Hollywood royalty (her grandmother, Tippi Hedren, was an Alfred Hitchcock muse while her mother, Melanie Griffith, was a staple of romantic comedies in the Eighties), Johnson was born for glamour. We can describe her signature aesthetic—achieved with the help of seasoned stylist Kate Young—as streamlined and refined with a touch of bohemian ease. She tends to lean towards brands such as Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Yves Saint Laurent, owning her looks with a kind of elegance that is a hundred per cent her's. Here, we take a quick look at some of Dakota Johnson's memorable red carpet moments. More from Tatler: 8 celebrity book clubs for readers of various tastes
