Pamela Anderson Wears Over 20 Carats in Diamonds in a Rare Outing With Her Sons
She also rewore a sentimental diamond Gist Pamela Anderson wore a custom Thom Browne navy gown to the New York premiere of The Naked Gun on July 28. She paired the simple column dress with around 20 carats in Pandora diamonds. She also rewore a diamond brooch previously worn by her son to the Met Anderson is firmly in her elegant Hollywood star era. From her understated no makeup-makeup looks to her timeless, bouncy old Hollywood bob to her heavenly gowns, every recent red carpet appearance has been a masterclass in taste and style. Her latest looks is another example. For the July 28 premiere of her upcoming comedy action film The Naked Gun, Anderson was joined by her sons Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger Lee. She looked every inch the glamorous leading lady in a timeless midnight navy satin column dress with a sweeping boatneck—a custom creation by Thom Browne. She paired the dress with sheer netted lace gloves and a few pieces of megawatt jewelry—roughly 20 carats in Pandora diamonds to be precise. In a sweet, sentimental nod to her son Brandon, she also rewore the diamond brooch that he wore at this year's Met Gala while accompanying his mother. Anderson completed her look with a soft side-parted bob styled in swooping waves and her signature barely-there makeup. Anderson's look is only the latest in her streak of chic red carpet ensembles that spare no expense when it comes to the accessories. Just take her recent forest green plissé peplum gown, which she paired with $20,000 worth of diamonds, her simple purple gown paired with 15 carats of diamonds, or her magical silver-blue gown that she once again paired with diamond earrings. As Anderson recently told us at InStyle, a well put-together look gives her the confidence to rock the red carpet. 'I'm actually quite shy—I'm okay if I'm on a stage—but I'm really shy, and I'm trying to get better at that,' she said. 'It's been a journey, but if you're wearing great clothes, that's a good first [step] that builds your confidence.' Read the original article on InStyle Solve the daily Crossword

James Cameron drops the new Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer; leaves internet divided
After years of silence from Pandora, James Cameron is back! The first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash has finally dropped, and fans are divided between awe and skepticism. Slated for a December 19, 2025 release, this third installment picks up after The Way of Water and introduces a fearsome new tribe: the Ash People. Stills from Avatar: Fire and Ash Unveiled at the 2024 D23 Expo by Cameron himself, the trailer reveals a dark, soot-covered Na'vi clan dancing around a blazing fire pit. Oona Chaplin plays Varang, their powerful leader, who appears to have control over fire. She's seen forming a fiery alliance with Quaritch (Stephen Lang), while ominously declaring, 'Your goddess has no dominion here.' Same world, new war In true Avatar fashion, Fire and Ash is once again a visually stunning expansion of the world of Pandora. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and the Metkayina join forces to fight Varang's fiery uprising, setting the stage for what looks like Cameron's most explosive chapter yet. The returning cast includes familiar names like Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, and Edie Falco, while Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis are fresh additions. Initially conceived as one film with The Way of Water, Fire and Ash eventually split into its own feature as the story evolved. At D23, Cameron teased, 'There are new characters, one especially I think you're gonna love, or love to hate.' What fans are saying The internet, of course, wasted no time reacting. Some fans were immediately spellbound by the visuals: 'Every frame in Avatar: Fire and Ash looks like a painting… CINEMA IS BACKKK.' One more comment read, 'This looks amazing! Thank you for bringing back a simple, fun family story to American entertainment James.' Another said, 'I'M CALLING IT NOW, THIS IS GONNA BE MOVIE OF THE YEAR.' Others were impressed, but cautiously hopeful: 'If this isn't a 3h or longer movie I honestly don't think this movie will have enough time to do it justice.' One more said, 'These movies, if nothing else, are an absolute visual feast. From the CGI, to the colours, to the cinematography it all looks amazing.' But not everyone was sold. Critics took to social media with their doubts — and memes: 'I distinctly remember falling asleep in the cinema in 2009 during the chronically underwritten 'original'. Hard pass, though never slept better.' One more comment said, 'He used Papyrus in bold again and got away with it.' Another comment claimed, 'I don't think the original should've gotten any sequels at all. It all just blends together eventually with one slightly different color of blue person added to show differentiating factions.' Despite the polarising reactions, Fire and Ash has sparked exactly what Cameron's team intended: curiosity, conversation, and more questions than answers. With a darker tone, elemental warfare, and a fierce new Na'vi faction, Avatar is once again challenging viewers to pick a side, and brace for impact.

Manchester Airport's redeveloped Terminal 2 departures lounge has opened to the public with a number of new shops and eateries. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Manchester Airport has opened its new departures lounge at Terminal 2 Credit: Manchester Airport 3 There are six new shops at the airport including a Lego store and Pandora Credit: Manchester Airport The upgraded facility now boasts six new shops, including a Lego store which promises an "interactive, family-friendly experience". Other shops for passengers to explore include Pandora and Rituals. For dining and refreshments, passengers can stop off at well knwon brands such as Starbucks, Upper Crust and Joe & The Juice.

In addition, the airport expects the Terminal 2 building to be completed soon. And there will be even more shops expected to open later in the year, with luxury fashion brand Chanel, WH Smith and a Fever Tree cocktail and champagne bar. This is in addition to the Great Northern Market - a food court with a number of street food options. Once the terminal is fully complete it will also have 13 areas where aircraft will park and boarding gates and Terminal 1 will close. Manchester Airport anticipates that over 70 per cent of passengers will use the new facilities. The new £7billion mega terminal opening at Changi Airport Chris Woodroofe, managing director at Manchester Airport, said: "Manchester and the North are woven through the fabric of this terminal building, from the worker bee and honeycomb motif in the terminal's design, to the many Northern brands operating shops and restaurants in our departures lounge." The airport also recently opened its new security hall - which will eventually be linked via a walkway to the departures lounge. This new facility features advanced scanners which will eventually allow passengers to keep liquids within their hand luggage, and it includes 10 new lanes along with updated check-in desks Over 30million passengers have already used the terminal extension since it opened four years ago. And last year it was celebrated for its design with a UNESCO-backed Prix Versailles award. Manchester Airport also announced a multi-million-pound investment in Terminal 3 a few months ago. Plans for Terminal 3 include a new terminal entrance, upgraded security equipment, additional seating, new shops and places to eat, a 500-seat bar offering airfield views and an expanded dining zone. Five ways to save money at airports NAVIGATING an airport with a young family without overspending can be tough, but these hacks can help. 'Free' sunscreen - Gather Advantage Card points by recycling beauty empties via the Boots app to spend on sunscreen after security. Reduced drop-off/pick-up - Check for resident discounts or use free long-term car park shuttles to avoid parking fees. In-flight food & drink - Pack sandwiches or pot noodles and reusable water bottles to save on expensive airport and airline refreshments. Cashback for meals - Use cashback sites like Quidco to get extra value on e-gift cards for airport restaurant meals. Double-duty luggage - Stuff neck pillow covers with soft items or use kids' booster seat backpacks for extra, often free, storage. A major UK airport has also revealed a huge 15-year masterplan with new long-haul flights and millions more passengers.
