<p>She came, she twirled, and she won hearts. Alia Bhatt looked stunning in a peach bustier gown as she walked the red carpet for the inaugural event of the Cannes Film Festival 2026 on Tuesday. The actress, who is a brand ambassador of beauty brand L’Oreal Paris- the official sponsor of the event- ensured all eyes were on her as she sashayed down the red carpet, briefly stopping to pose for the cameras.</p><h2>Alia Bhatt's red carpet look at Cannes 2026&nbsp;</h2><p>For her big red carpet moment, Alia stepped out in a peach strapless gown with a curved neckline. The outfit had a matching stole, and Alia wore matching jewellery and kept her hair loose.

She had also walked that Chanel runway in jeans and a beige top, so this Met Gala look appears to be a nod to the moment that changed her career forever.

Jeans at the Met? Meet Hyderabad’s Bhavitha Mandava, the Chanel model who attended the coveted event in casual wear. Since she stepped out in the look, netizens haven’t stopped talking about Mandava, with many criticizing the luxury house for dressing her this way.

When you think of the Met Gala, the first thing that comes to mind is the over-the-top dress looks that push fashion so far. But at the 2026 Met Gala, the world saw a model walking the coveted carpet in a simple pair of jeans and a shirt. Yes, her look grabbed attention immediately. And who was the one who chose jeans and a shirt for an event like this? It was Indian model Bhavitha Mandava. Who is Bhavitha Mandava? The 26-year-old attended fashion’s biggest night alongside A-list celebrities. For the theme "Costume Art" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, some guests turned themselves into living statues, while others wore outfits that reflected history. Bhavitha, however, chose to represent everyday fashion. Her rise in the fashion world came earlier this year, when she made history as the first Indian model to open a Chanel show after she was discovered at a New York City subway station. For the Met Gala, the luxury brand sent the model to the event, for which she wore a sheer beige top paired with high-waisted blue jeans. To add a touch of drama, she accessorised with a diamond ring and earrings, along with black-and-white pumps. She kept her hair loose and her makeup minimal.

Charles and Camilla, who married in 2005, are wrapping up a state visit to the United States, a visit that is being seen as a chance for London and Washington to move past a difficult few months.



A new documentary series based on hours of previously unreleased recordings made by Diana, the late Princess of Wales, is in the works, producers announced Thursday. Diana: The Unheard Truth, set for release in 2027 -- 30 years after her death in a Paris car crash -- promises to tell the story of "the people's princess" in her own words. Using five hours of conversations between Diana and her close confidante, surgeon Dr. James Colthurst, the tapes formed the basis of Andrew Morton's explosive 1992 book Diana: Her True Story. "This revelatory three-part docuseries restores authorship of one of the most scrutinized lives in modern history," said a statement released Thursday by Love Monday TV, the production company behind the venture. It "will change public perception of Diana forever." "Through the tapes, we come to know a resilient, perceptive, and relatable young woman, finding herself in the brightest of global spotlights, and navigating the challenges with grace, self-awareness, and determination." Diana's role in Britain's storied monarchy is unparalleled. The sumptuous 1981 wedding between Diana and the future King Charles III was a global extravaganza of good will. But what followed quickly degenerated into a tabloid feeding frenzy as cracks appeared in the fairytale, with husband and wife seemingly seeking solace in the arms of others. Diana's shocking 1997 death in a Paris tunnel in a car speeding away from paparazzi sparked a public backlash in Britain that rocked the monarchy and the media. The tapes, say producers, are a reminder that things could have turned out differently. "We hear her infectious humor and twinkling laughter, as she reveals the truth about life inside the most famous family in the world," the statement said. "But most importantly we hear her dreams for a future that could have been; a new chapter in which Charles goes off into the sunset with (future queen) Camilla, leaving Diana free to carve her own path." Charles and Camilla, who married in 2005, are wrapping up a state visit to the United States, a visit that is being seen as a chance for London and Washington to move past a difficult few months. The documentary series will also incorporate the perspectives of Diana's inner circle, including advisers, close friends, her hairdresser, her bodyguard, and one-time royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter.

<p>Jennifer Rauchet, the third wife of the US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, wore a dusty pink gown at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday (April 25) - and the dress has sparked an unexpected political and social media debate.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to Australia-based outlet news.com.au, the dress is believed to have been priced at around $US42 on fast-fashion platform Shein. What began as a fashion observation quickly evolved into a broader online debate. Critics questioned Rauchet’s choice of attire, pointing to allegations surrounding Shein, including concerns over labour practices, environmental impact and the use of harmful substances.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But, the backlash soon shifted focus towards those criticising Rauchet. An 18-year-old influencer, Ella Devi, drew attention after posting on the social media platform X that Rauchet’s outfit resembled a dress from Shein rival Temu.
