Topshop is relaunching with a top London supermodel as the new face of campaign
Topshop have named model Cara Delevingne as the face of their new relaunch. The collaboration will reflect her London roots and the connection she has had with the brand for many years With many eagerly awaiting the return of Topshop, it looks like the wait is nearly over. While the brand has been exclusively at ASOS for a while now, it's largely been tucked away among the 800-plus labels they carry. But now, Topshop is stepping forward to reclaim its fashion-forward spirit, bringing a fresh energy with global style icon Cara Delevingne as the face of its relaunch. From the late '90s through the 2000s, Topshop wasn't just a store - it was a destination. It was a place where youth, style and identity collided. But after its parent company went into administration, it disappeared high streets across the United Kingdom and beyond. Now, recognising the gap it left behind, Topshop is returning with a curated 30-piece edit that captures the shared aesthetic of both Cara and the brand. The edit aims to be confident, individual and distinctly modern. Cara, chosen for her long-standing connection to the brand and as a born-and-bred Londoner, said: 'As a London girl, Topshop was the place where fashion felt fun, fearless, and full of possibilities. Coming back to Topshop now is more than a return – it's about starting something new. This collection is about owning your style, your story, and feeling empowered to express that every day.' The collection channels Cara's signature London edge - effortless yet elevated, with sharp tailoring, statement outerwear and reimagined denim staples. A monochrome palette runs through the edit, punctuated by hits of rich avocado green to give it a fresh seasonal feel. The team at Topshop described the collaboration as more than just a campaign, saying: 'It's a statement of intent as we reintroduce Topshop to the world. We're bringing together cultural relevance, design credibility, and a new energy that speaks to how people want to dress today.' Topshop's Managing Director, Michelle Wilson added that the model's involvement with the relaunch harmonised with everything Topshop is as a band. She said: 'Cara is the perfect embodiment of the Topshop spirit - bold, creative, and unapologetically herself.' she added The edit launches on on 16th August, featuring standout pieces like a bold black-and-white faux shearling coat, a cinched '80s-inspired PU jacket, and updated takes on cult-favourite denim fits like the Joni and Jamie jeans. Balancing structure and softness, the collection pairs strong silhouettes with fluid fabrics offering fashion that feels just as empowering as it looks. And this is just the beginning - Topshop and Cara have already started developing a full capsule collection for the 2026/2027 season, with a shared focus on quality materials and considered design. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you!

American visits 'Wales' most stunning coastline' but is floored by price of ice cream
An American tourist visited Pembrokeshire, Wales, for the first time, and despite saying it moved her in a way that was hard to describe, she will 'never forget' the price of her ice cream An American tourist famed for exploring different parts of the UK went to Pembrokeshire for the first time – before calling it 'Wales' most stunning coastline'. Cara is the face of The Magic Geekdom YouTube channel where she has 76,500 followers and she started her recent vlog with the words: 'I am spending a few days in Pembrokeshire. I have never been here before but I have heard a lot of great things about it. I just got to Tenby and immediately saw this view – it is stunning isn't it.' The travel guru also said it was her first time by the seaside in the UK and she was struck by how colourful and beautiful the surroundings were, especially the brightly painted buildings. And after taking in the views while sitting on a beach and listening to the waves, the tourist decided to buy an ice cream. This took her to The Stowaway in Tenby which is in the arches of an old boat store in one of the most iconic harbours in Wales. And praising her refreshing sweet treat, Cara enthused: 'I couldn't resist getting a salted caramel ice cream cone.' Giving it a try, she added: 'Oh my god… that is so good. That is probably the best ice cream I have had over here. It is really good.' However, the camera then cut to a few moments later, and it showed Cara holding an ice cream cone without any ice cream in it. Laughing, she said: 'Well, I was trying to take a picture of my ice cream cone, and a seagull stole the whole damn scoop of ice cream!' Given it was so tasty, Cara returned to the shop, and decided to eat it inside this time to avoid another theft, meaning she ate one ice cream for the price of two. She said: 'My £4 ice cream became an £8 ice cream because I paid the bird tax but it was worth every penny. If you come here and want ice cream, definitely go to Stowaway, that place was amazing.' Cara stayed in an AirBnb western-themed pod overlooking the countryside and day two of her trip saw her visit Pembroke Castle – and she described it as 'fricking beautiful'. The content creator also went to St Davids Cathedral and she said it was 'so magnificent' before explaining how hearing the choir practising inside added to the 'magic of the place'. Making another observation, she added: 'I love how quiet it is here this morning. There are a lot of people out and about but it is just very peaceful. 'Sometimes a place just moves you in a way that you don't even know how to describe. It is hard to find words for and I think that's what's happening here. It is just so tranquil, just a good vibe.' Cara also embarked on a boat tour from Martin's Haven to Skomer Island where she witnessed puffins up close and she said it was one of the most memorable highlights from all her trips to the UK. Summing up her stay, she said: 'I have had an amazing time in Pembrokeshire. I have done a lot of firsts like that incredible puffin boat tour I just did. I had my first seagull steal food with my ice cream, I will never forget that.' She added: 'I cannot wait to come back. I have had an incredible time.' After posting the video on YouTube, which you can watch in full here, one person replied: 'Hello from the Welsh American Channel. We Americans of Welsh descent are very proud of our heritage, modern Wales, and its rich language. Thank you for the video. Cymru am byth!' Another said: 'Wales is an amazing place to live and visit.' A third went with: 'Wales is a beautiful country and people are friendly, love and respect from Scotland.'

Sci-Fi Short Film THE EDENBOUND is About The Dehumanising and Indoctrinating Effects of War — GeekTyrant
War teaches certainty. Empathy complicates it. In The Edenbound , director Andrew McGee drops us into a future where loyalty is programmed, emotions are repressed, and one young pilot finds herself at the breaking point between both. The short film centers on Cara, a young soldier raised in a society gripped by an endless planetary war. When she's chosen to command her late mother's ship for a critical nova-nuclear strike, it seems like the ultimate honor, until her craft crashes deep inside enemy territory. Stranded in the mysterious City of Echoes, Cara makes a single human connection that begins to unravel everything she's been conditioned to believe. Suddenly, the mission isn't just about carrying out orders, it's about questioning who gave them in the first place. The official logline reads: 'Amid an unending planetary war, a pilot's loyalty is tested when she crashes into enemy territory, where she must face a devastating decision between duty and compassion.' McGee describes The Edenbound as a reflection on how war strips away individuality and empathy: 'In The Edenbound, I wanted to tell a story about the dehumanising and indoctrinating effects of war, particularly by drawing parallels to current real-world conflicts—something science fiction is uniquely positioned to explore." Though the film's core is a deeply personal moral dilemma, The Edenbound doesn't skimp on scope. McGee and his team used virtual production to build a striking futuristic world on an independent scale: 'While the narrative is contained and intimate, I was keen to create a real sense of scope and spectacle that's often seen as out of reach on an independent production. We achieved this by harnessing the power of virtual production, and combining it with the exceptional skills of every creative department." 'From the intricately built cockpit and thoughtful costume design to the coordinated lighting and agile camerawork, it was rewarding to see so much talent seamlessly coming together to create such a compelling and immersive world.' At its heart, The Edenbound is a story about the collision of belief and experience of what happens when the stories we're told about 'the other side' come face to face with the reality of shared humanity.

HC no for US kid's adoption by Muslim couple from India
Mumbai: Bombay high court refused to direct the Central Adoption Resource Agency (Cara) to approve the adoption of an American child by an Indian Muslim couple. It observed that neither the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act nor the Adoption Regulations allow the adoption of a child of foreign citizenship unless the child is 'in need of care and protection' or 'in conflict with law. ' "There is no fundamental right of the petitioners to adopt an American child, which child does not fall within the applicability of the JJ Act and the regulations thereunder even if he is born to Indian parents. Neither is there any violation of any fundamental right of the child of American nationality to be adopted by an Indian citizen," said Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Neela Gokhale on Wednesday. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai They dismissed a petition by the childless couple from Pune who sought to adopt a child (now six years of age) from their California-based relatives. They brought him to India in Oct 2019. As they are Muslims with no law for adoption, they approached the district court under Section 56 (2) for adoption from 'a relative'. Cara, the regulator for in-country and inter-country adoption, refused to register them as prospective adoptive parents. They moved the high court, saying without valid adoption the child's stay in India may become illegal. Their advocate, Shirin Merchant, argued that Section 56(2) provides for the adoption of a child from a relative. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Experience next-level CPAP comfort with Resmed AirSense 11 ResMed Buy Now Undo She said Cara is unnecessarily treating the adoption under AR 23 for NRI, OCI, and foreigners. Cara's advocate, Y S Bhate, said the JJ Act and AR do not apply to the adoption of a child who is an American citizen by Indian parents. The judges said the JJ Act applies to all matters concerning 'child in need of care and protection' and 'child in conflict with law'. Admittedly, the child does not fall within these definitions. "Hence, provisions of the Act… do not apply," Justice Gokhale wrote. The judges said Section 56 (2) cannot operate independently of the Act. A relative must first relinquish the child for it to be a 'child in need of care and protection'. Also, AR 23 provides for post-adoption procedures for bringing a foreign child adopted by Indian parents to India. The petitioners were "always at liberty to adopt this legal and regular procedure." While Merchant insisted that the adoption be treated as in-country adoption provided under the AR, the judges said it has to follow the parent Act. They said the petitioners' "predicament" can be resolved by Cara's suggestion to apply for Indian citizenship and following surrender by biological parents to follow the JJ Act or adopt the child in US. The petitioners "were not inclined to accept the same".

The 7 Biggest Easter Eggs You Missed In '1923' Season Two
If there's one thing that Taylor Sheridan, the brain behind Yellowstone and 1923, has finessed it's his ability to make each detail — each glass, grave, and gesture in his intricately woven stories — a portal through which the past is never truly past. A case in point is 1923's second season, in which Sheridan's penchant for layered storytelling reveals itself through even more intricate, history-laden Easter eggs. Don't be mistaken, though: these are not simply nods to the Yellowstone universe or winks to attentive fans, but thoughtful narrative correspondences and motifs that hint at the show's meditation on American identity. These are the Easter eggs you may have missed from 1923 season two. Throughout season two of 1923, the Duttons use a remote cliff to get rid of dangerous enemies — a tradition fans may recognise as 'the train station' from Yellowstone. In 1923, we see earlier Duttons use the exact same spot, hinting at how this dark family 'solution' has been passed down through generations. Cara's letters in season two don't just serve as narration; some lines are lifted almost word-for-word from the journal entries of Margaret Dutton in 1883 and from voiceovers in Yellowstone. This is a nod to how Dutton women have always shaped and remembered the family's story. The set of vintage whiskey glasses — used by Cara and later seen in John Dutton's hands on Yellowstone — get extra screen time. One scene even has Cara hiding them during a Prohibition raid, linking the items specifically to the family's American saga across the decades. In season two of 1923, Spencer hands down a knife once belonging to his sister Elsa (from 1883) to another family member. The knife's journey is a direct, physical link between Dutton generations — and a symbol of the family's history of survival. When new graves are dug in season two, cameras linger on the headstones of 'Margaret' and 'Elsa' — names that may ring a bell with fans of 1883. Cara even whispers lines Elsa once said. Each grave can be interpreted as a historical marker, quietly tying all three shows together. Some of the rancher rivals in season two have family names that pop up as enemies in later in the Dutton's stories in Yellowstone. Sheridan's delicate weaving of intergenerational trauma hints at the fact that the major feuds don't simply end, instead they're passed on to each generation. A tribal character warns that 'the land will have the seventh,' echoing the legend mentioned in Yellowstone about the Dutton family's seventh generation being fated to 'return' the land. This subtle secretive undercurrent hints at an unresolved mystery spanning the entire franchise. 1923 is available to stream now on Paramount+.
