Tessa Thompson snuggles up to new boyfriend Brandon Green as they hold hands on romantic holiday in Portofino
Tessa Thompson and her new boyfriend Brandon Green looked smitten as they enjoyed a stroll on their romantic holiday in Portofino, Italy. The Creed actress, 41, looked chic in a cream sundress as she held hands with The Alchemy of Money CEO, 31. The Thor: Ragnarok star added elegant black shades to accessorise and wore chic red open-toe heels for her outing. The couple - who enjoyed a double date with LeBron James and wife Savannah in St Tropez last week - couldn't keep their hands off one another as they cherished every bit of the dolce vita. Soaking up the sun in the Italian Riviera coastline, Tessa looked on cloud nine beaming next to her partner, who previously dated Harry Potter star Emma Watson. Tessa and the son of controversial tycoon Sir Philip Green were first linked in March 2024 and have been spotted together countless times since, with reports suggesting that they are officially an item. While Tessa famously keeps tight-lipped on her romantic endeavours, she has been linked to Brandon for more than a year. They were first spotted looking cosy at a Lakers game in March 2024 as they appeared happy in each other's company while sitting courtside. Between watching baskets, Tessa and Brandon seemed to have eyes for each other as they beamed at one another. Since then, they have been seen together on a number of occasions, most recently at BST Hyde Park to watch Stevie Wonder. Over the years, Tessa - who identifies as bisexual - has been linked to several high-profile people, including Janelle Monae. In 2015, she was believed to have started dating Janelle after starring as a backup dancer in their Yoga video, according to PopSugar. The pair were also seen together at the 2015 MOCA gala, and three years later Tessa was featured in Janelle's music video for Dirty Computer. Meanwhile, Brandon has previously dated a number of models. He was once caught patting Kate Moss' bottom on holiday in St Barts. However, it looked like he was set to settle down with outspoken actress and activist Emma, when they started dating in 2021. The couple dated for 18 months until it seems that Emma had some kind of an epiphany connected to her 'Saturn return' and decided that she wanted out of the relationship. A Saturn return refers to time when the planet Saturn goes back to the position it was in at the moment you were born. Astrologers say it signifies the end of one life-cycle and the beginning of the next, and it happens at around the ages of 29, 58 and 84, bringing with it 'monumental shifts' in lifestyle.

This Is the Flat-Shoe Trend That Makes Bubble Skirts Look 10 Times More Elegant
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After making a big comeback last year, bubble skirts, dresses, and shorts are still as popular as ever, and Tessa Thompson just found the chicest flat-shoe trend to pair with the playful style while vacationing in Saint-Tropez. With her black bubble miniskirt, she wore a black tank top and leopard-print pointed-toe flats. With one look at her, you'll see just how elegant the shoes made her trendy skirt look. Pointed-toe flats aren't a style I've been gravitating toward recently, but they have a reputation for being the most elegant and timeless flat-shoe style there is. Plus, they're not going anywhere and are easy and functional enough for everyday wear. Given all of these factors, I've decided to purchase a pair to wear for the rest of summer and into fall to make trendier pieces look effortlessly elegant—just as Thompson did with her bubble miniskirt. If you're looking to elevate your bubble-skirt outfits or your outfits in general, keep scrolling to shop pointed-toe flats and bubble skirts to wear with them.

Nia DaCosta's HEDDA to Premiere at TIFF Before Streaming on Prime Video
If you're as movie-addicted as I am, with pearl-clutching for period dramas and sleepless nights over A24 teaser promos, then clear your schedule and drain your emotional warehouse. Nia DaCosta's HEDDA, the incendiary modern adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, premieres at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). And trust us, it's coming for your throat. After TIFF, the emotional quake hits Prime Video worldwide on October 29, 2025, in time for a psychologically chilling Halloween. HEDDA is not a film. It's a state of mind. It's a silk malfunction. It's women's fury encased in designer stilettos and ready to blow. And darling, it's going to be fabulous. You might know DaCosta from Candyman (2021) or as the first Black woman to direct a Marvel movie (The Marvels). With HEDDA, DaCosta is making history. She's writing, directing, and producing, and she's bringing Ibsen's 1891 play back down to electrifying contemporaneity and unstoppable sensuality. This is not your high school English class's Hedda Gabler. This is a woman hemmed in by the most cinematic possible means. We can leave it at that and applaud the cast to their feet because Tessa Thompson is Hedda. That's all. That's the news. Thompson, also the director, is a depth-feeling actress. Despite Sylvie's Love for Passing, she's been built for an acting role like that. In HEDDA, she's described as having a raw, feverish, downright enchanting performance. Hedda, as played by Tessa, is a woman suffocating beneath suffocating social conformity and gendered constraint, dressing herself in elegance as a disguise until she no longer does, from early word about individuals involved in the play. She's ably supported and encouraged by a cast who are literally glowing on paper. Imogen Poots is a catastrophe at all times in the best way Tom Bateman, whose cheekbones will need to have their own agent Nicholas Pinnock, with brooding screen intensity Nina Hoss, the German force of nature, you saw blow your mind in TÁR Devouring an entire long, lingerable night, HEDDA is full of that slow-build-key tension we snack on like gourmet popcorn. Bottled-up passion? Check. Old flame rekindled to burn again everywhere? Check. Mind games, manipulation, and women on the brink? Triple check. The trailer for 'A Whirlpool of Manipulation, Passion, and Betrayal' has my shrink prepped with the Kleenex, ahead of time. If you're a true cinephile, you already know a movie's as iconic as its department heads are. And HEDDA's got creds. Score by Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker, Chernobyl) has you feeling every string section personally like it's an insult. Cinematography by Sean Bobbitt, BSC (12 Years a Slave, Widows) promises shadows, close-ups, and emotional destruction. Cutting by Jacob Schulsinger (The Worst Person in the World) promises no beat will be missed. Cara Brower's Production Design (The Menu) is recreated into the interiors, more lavish than Hedda herself. Lindsay Pugh's Costume Design (The Crown) is shouting period-present elegance, crying 'rich, miserable, and emotionally fraying.' TIFF is not a film festival. It is an awards-season barometer. That HEDDA is opening there speaks volumes about one thing loudly and clearly. Amazon and Plan B can smell Oscars. And I vow, DaCosta and Thompson walk into the Dolby Theatre next year with their names on ballot cards. October 29, 2025. That's when HEDDA premieres on Prime Video, and that's when your group chat becomes a raging debate about ethics, feminism, and whether Hedda is a villain or a victim. (She's both. That's the point.) Light a candle. Have a glass of red wine. Get ready to untangle. It's not a film. It's an audit.

Prabal Gurung Celebrates His Nepalese Upbringing in Memoir Walk Like a Girl
Studying Nepalese designer Prabal Gurung's multinational career across fashion and advocacy, one thing is clear: his talents are legion. From his politically provocative spring/summer 2020 collection in which models wore sashes asking, 'Who gets to be American?' to his tenure as creative director at Gold House (a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting AAPI creatives), to outfitting stars like Tessa Thompson and Diljit Dosanjh in couture for the 2025 Met Gala, Gurung often steps into the spotlight only to share it. In his striking new memoir, Walk Like a Girl, he looks back on his glamorous career as one that grew from the unconditional love and support of his mother. While Gurung bears all the strife and prejudice he's endured as a queer South Asian man, he always credits his perseverance as stemming from an unabashed love for life inspired by the strong women who raised him. It's been 10 years since Traveler last spoke to Gurung, and I caught up with him to chat about the textures of place that inspire his designs, the destinations that rejuvenate him, and what it means to walk like a girl. Below is our conversation, edited and condensed for clarity. In your book, it's clear that your mom was this unwaveringly supportive and encouraging figure in your life. What does it mean to 'walk like a girl,' and how does having strong female role models in your life continue to influence your work? First of all, thank you for acknowledging that my mom is my hero, the blueprint of my strength. She was the first woman I ever saw carry the weight of the world with with elegance and tenacity. Watching her build a life for our family was my first lesson in resilience. I learned early on that elegance is a practice, not a posture. She told me that there's a power in kindness and that grace and love can be your armor and serve as a radical force in the world in terms of changing it and starting conversations.
