Stuart Vevers Celebrates OBE Honor With Florence Pugh, Will Poulter
LONDON — Stuart Vevers of Coach returned home to England this week to collect his Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, otherwise known as an OBE, for his services to fashion. A moment like this calls for a celebration.

Guests on the night included his family, friends, Coach crew and stars such as Florence Pugh, Will Poulter, Yasmin Finney and Mimi Webb. Two Temple Place is known for its neo-gothic architecture and contains artwork by William Silver Frith, Sir George Frampton, Nathaniel Hitch and Thomas Nicholls. 'It's a beautiful historic space and we really leaned into that. We dressed up the place by bringing in historical furniture and it's very classical in its approach. If the weather's good, we're going to start with drinks outside,' said Vevers in an interview on Wednesday. The designer got heavily involved in the planning of the party – he curated the food menu, floral arrangements and some of the music before a DJ got there in the evening. Vevers is the first creative director of an American fashion brand to receive full honors. He was included in the Birthday 2024 Honours List, approved by King Charles III. 'I was excited and surprised – so many things started to run through my mind. I feel really proud, but it's so much for the people in my life and my parents, for whom so much of what we do in fashion goes over their heads. They might not know what a CFDA award is, but this is something really tangible to them,' he said. 'Sometimes the perception is that our industry is frivolous. This award is an acknowledgement, in a way, that reinforces the work that we all do in fashion and it can be really meaningful. Our business is about people's lifelong commitments to skills,' he added. Vevers received the call about the award from the British Consulate when he was driving. The first person he called was his husband, Benjamin Seidler, and then his parents in the U.K. Vevers collected his award from Princess Anne in a classic black suit with his husband and two children by his side, which he said made the Investiture ceremony more special. 'My kids turned five on Sunday and the age in which someone is allowed to attend the ceremony is five, it feels timely and like a sign,' he said, adding that he's been playing tourist with his family and rediscovering London through a pair of fresh eyes. Vevers wanted to stay at the Savoy Hotel to follow through with the 'classic London' theme. 'My son River was so excited when he saw a black cab and this trip has encouraged me not to take things for granted that you're just used to seeing,' he said. From 2015 to 2017, Coach was a regular name on the runways of London, staging shows during London Collections: Men. Maybe Vevers, now with his OBE, will consider coming back to the city more regularly and bringing his menswear shows with him.

'But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx.'

David Beckham hospitalized for wrist surgery, family shares support
On June 27, Victoria Beckham shared a photo of her husband, Sir David Beckham, resting in a hospital bed with his arm in a blue sling. The caption read, 'Get well soon daddy,' accompanied by a bracelet carrying the same message, offering a glimpse into the family's support as he recovers from wrist surgery. The photo, shared by Victoria Beckham, prompted a range of responses from fans and public figures on social media Photo- Victoria Beckham/Instagram The former England football captain and co-owner of Inter Miami CF underwent the procedure to address complications from a long-standing injury dating back to 2003. During that match against South Africa Beckham sustained a wrist injury that required the insertion of a surgical screw, which more recently had begun causing discomfort. Beckham continues to receive recognition for his contributions to football and philanthropy. Though he was awarded an OBE in 2003, speculation about a future knighthood remains unconfirmed as of June 2025. In addition to his sports legacy, Beckham remains active through his charitable affiliations, including work with UNICEF, and in football leadership as a co-owner of Inter Miami CF. Despite this brief medical setback, his involvement in public life continues uninterrupted. Though Beckham has yet to comment directly on the procedure, the nature of his posts and those from his family suggest a stable recovery process is underway.

Painful moment David Beckham broke wrist in England clash that left him needing secret operation 22 years later
DAVID BECKHAM has undergone surgery due to breaking his wrist over TWO DECADES ago in an England match. The football legend snapped his wrist in the Three Lions' 2-1 win over South Africa in a friendly match back in May 2003. 6 David Beckham broke his wrist playing for England in 2003 Credit: PA:Press Association 6 It happened as he fell awkwardly after a challenge from Thabang Molefe Credit: Getty 6 He had initially tried to play on with the injury Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 6 Beckham was discovered to have broken his scapoid bone in his right hand Credit: PA:Press Association Beckham, 50, had already picked up an assist in the match as he whipped in a free kick for Gareth Southgate to head home in the first minute. He was forced off just four minutes into the second half after he awkwardly fell after an earlier challenge from Thabang Molefe. The midfielder landed on his right hand and could be seen in plenty of pain, but had initially tried to play on. As a result, he was subbed off by manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and replaced by Jermaine Jenas. He underwent tests at the time, which showed that he had broken the scapoid bone in his right hand. The bone connects the thumb to the wrist and is a famously tricky injury to heal. It was a blow to Goldenballs, who had broken his metatarsal bone in his foot a year earlier. The Sun has now exclusively revealed that Beckham has had secret surgery to repair the broken wrist.

Beckham's new operation appears to have been a success with wife Victoria posting on social media.
