Meanwhile, William opted for a pale blue suit, paired with a white shirt and matching trainers. He was born in 2004, just after Mary-Louise and Billy's highly publicized split ended their eight-year relationship – a breakup that made headlines when Billy left her while she was seven months pregnant for actress Claire Danes. The scandal dominated entertainment news at the time, with the then 35-year-old Billy receiving backlash for the sudden split. Danes, 24 at the time, also faced criticism, later admitting in a 2015 interview that the affair was 'messy' and 'complicated', adding, 'I was just in love with him… and needed to explore that.' Mary-Louise largely stayed silent in the immediate aftermath but opened up years later in her 2015 memoir Dear Mr. You, sharing raw insights into the emotional toll of the breakup while pregnant. She wrote: "My baby was not a tragedy. I went into the delivery room with my hair in braids, singing a lullaby, and I came out with a baby boy who made everything worthwhile." Speaking in 2023 after Billy married actress Naomi Watts, Mary-Louise told The Guardian, 'I wish them well. And absolutely I honestly of course wish them every happiness because that's my son's father. "So I'm happy for them. I'm happy they found each other.' Despite his starry lineage, William has mostly stayed out of the spotlight - though he's started popping up more frequently in recent years. Naomi Watts & Billy Crudup marry in second Mexican wedding ceremony with her and Liev Schreiber's kids in attendance He attended the 2021 Tony Awards with Mary-Louise and his younger sister, Ash, and earlier this year joined them both for the London premiere of The Institute during SXSW. He's also supported Billy on big nights, including the 2024 Critics' Choice Awards, where Billy picked up Best Supporting Actor for The Morning Show. During his speech, he thanked his 'amazing son' while posing for photos with William backstage. Away from red carpets, William has dipped into acting himself - appearing alongside Mary-Louise in Christmas in Conway, Mr. Mercedes and Colin in Black & White. He's also written and directed two feature films, Forty Winks and Atrabilious. Speaking to the Utah International Film Festival in 2022 about Forty Winks, which starred his godmother Susan Sarandon along with John Turturro and Carmen Ejogo, William said: 'It was entirely self-funded, and I had no producers to help out during the production. "Therefore, I had to take a lot on at 17, which was just a leap of faith for myself if anything.' Most recently, he appeared in Netflix's 2024 release Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp, and joined Billy and Naomi for their vow renewal in Mexico City. Photos shared by actor Justin Theroux showed William walking down the aisle beside his dad during the intimate ceremony. 7 He joined Mary-Louise at a screening for her new horror series The Institute in Culver City, California.

Library of Congress acquires Stephen Sondheim's papers and manuscripts
When Stephen Sondheim visited the Library of Congress in 1993, he saw something that stopped him in his tracks. Mark Horowitz, a senior music specialist at the library, had prepared a selection of historical scores from its collection – including works by Brahms and Rachmaninoff – to show the acclaimed composer and lyricist. Article content 'The last thing I showed him was Gershwin's manuscript for 'Porgy and Bess,'' Horowitz said. 'That's when he started to cry.' Article content Article content Article content The Library of Congress announced Wednesday that it has acquired the papers of the late composer, who died in 2021. Manuscripts and documents charting the creation of some of the most iconic and beloved musicals of the past 50-plus years – including 'Company,' 'Into the Woods' and 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' – will now sit alongside 'Porgy and Bess' in the library's permanent collection. Article content Article content Sondheim's music and lyrics will be available for public viewing July 1, while the remaining letters, notes and more will be accessible later this summer. The treasure trove of notebooks, sheet music and letters illuminates the craft behind the eight-time Tony winner's relentless reinvention of the musical. Article content 'When it comes to theater makers in America in the last century, he's the Shakespeare,' said Matthew Gardiner, the artistic director of Arlington's Signature Theatre, which is known for its productions of Sondheim's musicals. 'It's so special to have these documents and lyrics and poems to see his process. [It's] a celebration of a life's work that changed an art form.' Article content Article content Article content The library's acquisition of Sondheim's materials was decades in the making. Shortly after joining its music department, Horowitz arranged the show-and-tell with Sondheim, partially to persuade the composer to donate his manuscripts and letters to the institution. Article content 'After that meeting, he said he was going to change his will,' Horowitz said. 'He sent me a letter with a blowup of the language he put in his will about his papers coming to the library. I felt like, yes, I could breathe a sigh of relief now that [was] done.' Article content Three months ago, boxes containing nearly 5,000 items began arriving at the library's Madison Building. The treasures included the program for 'By George,' a musical Sondheim wrote in high school, and documents from the creation of more celebrated musicals, such as 40 pages of potential rhymes for the song 'A Little Priest' from 'Sweeney Todd.' Even for a Sondheim fan like Horowitz, sorting through these notes and pages of sheet music was overwhelming. The papers, he said, illustrate the painstaking energy that went into a Sondheim composition.

Amal Clooney's Hairstylist Breaks Down Her Rita Hayworth-inspired Glam Look for the 2025 Tony Awards
Amal Clooney arrived at the 2025 Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in support of her husband, George Clooney, who was nominated for his role in 'Good Night, and Good Luck' on Sunday. The human rights activist honored the night with an ethereal hairdo, styled by Dimitris Giannetos, the architect behind Nicole Scherzinger's slicked updo, too. The volume in Clooney's bouncy blowout was hard to miss as she strode across the red carpet with her partner tucked next to her. Her hair was parted to the side and tucked behind her right ear, allowing her caramel-colored highlights to shine between her dark brown hair in the front. Big barrel curls were carefully added to the ends of her long locks, which came down to her midsection. The style was overtly reminiscent of red carpet trends during the Golden Age of Hollywood. More from WWD Mariah Carey is the 'Ultimate Icon' in White and Gold Dresses at the 2025 BET Awards Meet Isima, Shakira's Most Personal Project Yet James Read Brings Skin Care-focused Self-tanning Line to the U.S. With Credo Partnership 'Amal wore a beautiful, pearl-detailed Old Hollywood gown, and I wanted her hair to reflect that same timeless elegance. I was inspired by classic Rita Hayworth—soft, brushed-out waves with a glamorous and polished feel,' Giannetos exclusively told WWD. Clooney donned a white gown from Tamara Ralph's spring 2025 couture collection, which was embellished with strings of natural gemstones from the neckline to the bottom trim. The hairstylist ensured Clooney's hair was towel-dried before he went in with a round brush and a blowdryer 'to create volume.' He then placed her hair in rollers, letting them sit while he did her makeup. 'Once makeup was done, I removed the rollers and brushed out her hair using a paddle brush,' Giannetos explained. The secret to her frizz-free hair? L'Oréal Paris Elnett Hairspray. For Clooney's makeup, Giannetos used a lineup of Charlotte Tilbury beauty products, from the TikTok viral Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick in shade five to the beloved Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. Her makeup was sultry, with bits of pigmented blush and shiny highlighter kissing the tip of her nose and cheekbones. Silver shimmer was pressed into her lids above wispy lashes, while her lips were lined with a dusty brown and painted in a coral lip shade. Giannetos' use of Charlotte Tilbury makeup comes just a few days after the leading brand announced a partnership with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. This is the first U.S. sports collaboration for Charlotte Tilbury, and the first luxury beauty partnership of its kind for the squad.

‘Boop! The Musical' announces final Broadway show in latest Tony Awards casualty
Boop-Oop-a-Doop! 'Boop! The Musical,' the Broadway play that opened at the Broadhurst Theatre on April 5, has announced its final show date after failing to win big at this year's Tony Awards. The show's producers made the closing announcement on Wednesday, with Playbill confirming that the musical's final show will be July 13 after a total of 25 previews and 112 regular performances. 6 'Boop! The Musical' has announced its final show date after failing to win big at this year's Tony Awards. Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman 6 Playbill confirmed Wednesday that the musical's final show will be July 13 after a total of 25 previews and 112 regular performances. Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman Inspired by the classic Depression-era cartoon character Betty Boop, 'Boop' stars Jasmine Amy Rogers, 26, in the leading role. Directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, the musical follows Rogers' character as she is thrown from her two-dimensional, black-and-white 1930s world to the colorful and vibrant real world of modern-day New York City. But the show, which includes music by David Foster and lyrics by Susan Birkenhead, faced tough competition at the 2025 Tonys. 6 Jasmine Amy Rogers, who played Betty Boop in 'Boop! The Musical,' was nominated for Best Leading Actress in a Musical at the 2025 Tony Awards. Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman Although Rogers was nominated for Best Leading Actress in a Musical and Mitchell was nominated for Best Choreography, the production failed to win either category. This marks the fourth play to take a final bow, drop the curtain and shutter its theater doors for good after losing at the Tonys earlier this month. 'Smash,' which was nominated for Best Choreography and Best Featured Actor, performed its final show on June 22 after 32 previews and only 84 regular performances. 6 'Boop! The Musical' also failed to win a Tony for Best Choreography and Best Costume Design of a Musical. Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman 'Real Women Have Curves' and 'Dead Outlaw' have also announced their final shows after losing out at the Tonys. Both plays will conclude their Broadway runs on June 29. The news that 'Boop' is closing after just three months of regular performances also comes after some behind-the-scenes drama at Broadway's biggest awards show. 6 'Smash' was the first Broadway play to announce it was closing after losing at the 2025 Tony Awards. Matthew Murphy Both 'Boop' and 'Smash' were left out in the cold when the award show's producers refused to let either musical perform during the three-hour CBS broadcast on June 8, even after both productions offered to pay the $300K appearance fee. 'It's bizarre,' one Broadway producer exclusively told the Post as the drama unfolded. Still, 'Boop' received some positive reviews despite its Tony troubles. 6 'Boop' received some positive reviews even despite its troubles at the Tonys. Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman The Post's theater critic, Johnny Oleksinski, celebrated Rogers' performance as a live-action Betty Boop – even if he did admit that the production faced certain challenges. 'The show's biggest challenge exists off-stage: Making Betty Boop a draw 95 years after she debuted,' Oleksinski wrote in his three-star review. 'At this point, the icon isn't really nostalgic to anyone or at the top of anybody's mind.' He added, 'Whatever you may feel about the big-eyed flapper, the attraction today is not the title, but Rogers.'
