Daft Punk and PLEASURES Release Exclusive Capsule Reimagining Iconic Visuals
Summary Daft Punkhas officially joined forces withPLEASURESto launch an exclusive capsule collection that merges futuristic aesthetics with the raw edge of streetwear. This collaboration pays tribute to the electronic duo's groundbreaking legacy, transforming their most iconic visuals, sounds, and characters into wearable pieces of art. At the heart of the collection is a bold reinterpretation of Daft Punk's visual identity. Their signature robot helmets are prominently featured throughout, appearing on everything from denim to tees, giving the capsule a distinctly cyberpunk edge. A standout T-shirt nods to the 2005 hit 'Technologic,' emblazoned with its bold orange lyrics pulled directly from the music video, and anchored by a robotic figure printed on the back. A long-sleeve half zip up captures the haunting aesthetic of the 'Prime Time of Your Life' music video, blending eerie nostalgia with graphic intensity. Some apparel even features visuals fromInterstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, the anime-style film that visualized theirDiscoveryalbum in full. One of the most striking pieces is a full-zip hoodie designed with a high neckline that zips all the way to the top of the head — fully enclosing the face and resembling the shape and silhouette of Daft Punk's iconic helmets. Another standout is a pair of black baggy denim jeans, each leg printed with half of the duo's helmets — creating a symmetrical, wearable tribute to their robotic alter-egos. A black padded jacket leans into archival nostalgia, embroidered with the entireDiscoverytracklist across the back, transforming a wardrobe staple into a love letter to one of the most influential electronic albums of the 2000s. The capsule also branches into accessories and collectibles, including a football featuring artwork from theRandom Access Memoriesalbum cover. Caps and smaller items round out the offering, many of which feature co-branded embroidery from both Daft Punk and PLEASURES. Some silhouettes lean more subtle, with minimal white stitching or tonal logos scattered across oversized fits — all keeping in step with the duo's elusive, intergalactic persona. Altogether, the collection captures Daft Punk's visionary cool and PLEASURES' rebellious spirit — honoring the past while propelling their shared aesthetic boldly into the future. The collection will launch July 16 with exclusive access available through the global pop ups and online viathe official PLEASURES website.

Brad Pitt steers ‘F1: The Movie' to a podium finish with speed and style
In Hollywood's eternal drive to make auto racing interesting, 'F1: The Movie' finds itself on the podium thanks to an appealing performance by Brad Pitt and director Joseph Kosinski. Pitt plays iconoclastic former next-big-thing Sonny Hayes, now living just fine out of his surfer van, casually winning the Daytona 500. When old friend and rival Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem, in a series of remarkably handsome suits) shows up to recruit him for the struggling Formula One team he owns, Sonny's lured by the brassiest of rings that once was in reach so many years ago. (For the uninitiated, F1 is the highest class of its kind, with $16 million cars reaching speeds over 200 mph.) But Sonny will have to work with the team's young English star, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), who is perhaps too concerned with his image to jump from good to great. With only nine races left in the season, the stakes are high: If the team can't win at least one, Ruben will be forced out, and Joshua's budding career may be over. If that sounds like 'Bull Durham,' 'Major League,' 'The Longest Yard,' 'The Natural' or many other sports movies, there are clear echoes. The plot and character types are very much last year's model. The differences are the particulars of Formula One and Kosinski's glossy packaging. Whereas those films have a broken-down, harmonica-playing vibe, 'F1' makes even a jalopy like Sonny sleek. Think honky-tonk versus Daft Punk. Pitt's screen presence has aged like a leather jacket, scuffed in all the right places and cooler than ever. He nails the weather-beaten-legend vibe, as he showed in 'Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.' Here, what could have been an insufferable bad boy who never grew up is, in Pitt's hands, a wily charmer for whom it's easy to root. In the arrogant up-and-comer role, Idris ('Snowfall') doesn't fare as well. It's not his fault; Joshua simply isn't written with the same complexity and resonance. 'Uncoachable hothead' is a trope that takes a lot to make interesting. Joshua's mother, Bernadette (Sarah Niles of 'Ted Lasso'), is more engaging. She steals her scenes, sometimes with no more than a thirsty smile at Sonny's photo. Bardem is such a good actor that he makes moments as simple as walking with a look of joyous disbelief really land. His Ruben feels fully lived in. F1 devotees will get their fill of racing, racing, racing and F1 star cameos. This non-racing fan, however, found the film most interesting with Sonny exploiting the rules to eke out tiny advantages or Kate redesigning to squeeze out an extra tenth of a second. But 'F1' is really about the feeling of being in a Formula One cockpit. Naturally, Kosinski — the guy who put cameras in the cockpits of actual fighter planes in ' Top Gun: Maverick ' — was the director for the job. As with 'Maverick,' 'F1' necessitated some technological leaps including new, custom cameras. For curmudgeons who are lulled to sleep by auto racing, this kind of filmmaking may be the only answer. And Kosinski and company unquestionably hit the mark. It's beautifully shot by Claudio Miranda (Oscar winner for 'Life of Pi') off the track as well. He captures many gorgeous images that have nothing to do with racing, that make the IMAX premium all the more worthwhile. Editor Stephen Mirrione (Oscar winner for 'Traffic') masterfully creates rhythm, flow and surprise in the racing sequences. Despite traversing such a familiar track, 'F1' delivers something made expressly for the big screen experience. What keeps it from being purely the kind of 'theme park' Martin Scorsese demeaned in his criticism of Marvel movies is the Pitt of it all; fortunately for 'F1,' it's always Sonny on the human side.

I Just Found Out This McDonald's In Budapest Turns Into A Nightclub And I Have So Many Feelings
So I was doomscrolling the other night when I stumbled across something that completely derailed my brain: There's a McDonald's in Budapest that literally transforms into a nightclub every weekend. Yes. A McDonald's. That becomes. A club. And I have not known peace since. This McDonald's is inside the Nyugati Railway Station, which, by the way, is already dramatic enough. It looks like a mini palace: old-school architecture, grand arches, and that vintage European charm that makes you want to start speaking in film noir one-liners. It's not just some random location either. The station was designed by the same people who helped build the Eiffel Tower. So yeah, they knew what they were doing. And then there's the whole transformation thing. Every Friday and Saturday from 10 PM to 4 AM, the restaurant becomes the 'Nyugati Lounge.' They don't just dim the lights and call it a vibe. There's an actual DJ booth. There are light shows. The idea is to give diners a multisensory experience, which is a very fancy way of saying: you're eating fries in the middle of a mini rave. People aren't just going for the novelty either. The food itself is kind of a trip. They've got the usual stuff, obviously, but there's also a burger called Goosey Gustav that comes with foie gras. It's giving 'I like fast food, but I also know what pâté is.' And somehow, that makes sense in this setting. Giphy / Via What really gets me, though, is how casually brilliant the whole thing is. You show up thinking you'll grab a Coke and bounce, and suddenly you're two songs deep into a house remix of 'Hungarian folk meets Daft Punk.' Giphy / Via One person on Reddit said, 'It looked more beautiful before,' and sure, maybe it did, but also, you're eating a burger in a 19th-century train station while listening to ambient techno with lasers shooting across the ceiling. Let's not pretend that's not objectively cool. Of course, the internet is obsessed. People are filming everything: the food, the lighting, the fact that they just walked into a McDonald's and somehow ended up at an afterparty. Apparently, the lounge nights were supposed to wrap in 2024, but they were such a hit that they extended it into 2025. Which, fair. If you build a club inside a McDonald's and people show up in droves, you kind of have to keep going. It's the law now. Giphy / Via I wasn't planning a trip, but now I might just buy a ticket on impulse. Because honestly? I think the fries will taste better under neon lights.

Doechii shuts down Glastonbury 2025 with explosive 'Alter Ego' performance
Doechii delivered one of the standout moments of Glastonbury 2025 with a commanding performance of 'Alter Ego' on the West Holts stage. The Florida rapper's electrifying set was widely praised for its theatricality, lyricism and energy—earning her star status among festival headliners. Opening her conceptual 'school of hip‑hop' performance, Doechii captivated the audience with narrative-driven staging—complete with desks, lockers and voice‑over lessons. As she transitioned into 'Alter Ego,' her presence intensified; she moved with fierce confidence, interacting with dancers amid umbrella choreography. The performance struck a balance of irreverence and skill, with Doechii exuding self‑aware humor alongside her undeniable rap mastery. Critics noted she 'triumph[ed] over a biblical set clash' against competing headliners like Charli XCX and Neil Young. Doechii shuts down Glastonbury with her performance of 'Alter Ego.' — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 30, 2025 The Guardian described her West Holts debut as 'theatrical, flirtatious and athletic,' firmly establishing Doechii as both artist and entertainer. She weaved in samples ranging from Wu‑Tang Clan to Daft Punk, showcasing her deep hip‑hop roots while delivering fresh reinterpretations. By the time she reached 'Alter Ego,' she commanded the crowd, who were 'bopping, jumping and losing it' to the track. Doechii's 40‑minute set reaffirmed her rising status in contemporary rap. Fresh off a Grammy win for Alligator Bites Never Heal and a Billboard Artist of the Year title, her Glastonbury run felt less like a debut and more like a coronation. With her blend of rap prowess, stagecraft and relatable charisma, Doechii didn't just perform—she shut Glastonbury down.
