The Grevin waxwork museum in Paris unveiled a new star attraction on Thursday: Princess Diana in the "revenge dress" she wore after public revelations about her then-husband prince Charles's infidelity.

Ahaan Panday BREAKS silence on dating rumours with Aneet Padda But Diana was a notable absentee, despite her tragic association with the city where she died in a car crash in August 1997. She is displayed wearing a copy of the black gown by designer Christina Stambolian that she wore for a public appearance in 1994 amid a media frenzy about the breakdown of her marriage to Charles. Also read: The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping trailer: Joseph Zada's first look revealed as Young Haymitch, release date announced She stepped out in the dazzling off-the-shoulder dress on the same day as an interview was broadcast in which Charles admitted to being unfaithful. "More than 28 years after her tragic death in Paris, Diana is still a major figure in global pop culture, celebrated for her style, humanity and independence," the Grevin Museum said in a statement. "The gown became a statement of reclaimed self-assertion, a powerful image of determined femininity and renewed confidence," it added. Her waxwork is displayed far from King Charles and Queen Elizabeth, who are in a gallery for heads of state, with the late "Lady Di" standing alongside fashion and entertainment figures such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Franco-Malian singing star Aya Nakamura. The date chosen for the unveiling -- November 20 -- was also a "sly reference" to a bombshell interview she gave to the BBC on the same date exactly thirty years ago in which she said "there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a little bit crowded". That was a reference to Camilla Parker-Bowles, whom Charles has since married. The high-pressure waxwork commission -- which will be highly scrutinised by defenders of Diana's memory -- was handed to Paris-based sculptor Laurent Mallamaci. The Grevin Museum had been in contact with Diana at the end of her life but abandoned the idea of making a figure of her after her death, a spokesperson said.

<p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Ghoomar Dance</h2><p>Originating with the Bhill Tribe, Ghoomar is the traditional dance form of the state of Rajasthan. Bheels and Rajputs were always at war with each other for a period of time. In due course, they interacted and settled down. The tribal culture was first adopted by the local Rajputs, and then it found its way to the elites. The term Ghoomar is a kind of derivation of 'swirl'. Operating within a conservative cultural framework, the dance form served as a form of expression or agency for women in a deeply patriarchal society of Rajasthan. Earlier, women used to perform ghoomar with a ghoonghat, covering their faces; over time, however, some of the repressive practices have assimilated into the popular culture.&nbsp;</p>

The art market of New York had a historic night on Tuesday that it has not seen for years, and the credit goes to Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Elisabeth Lederer, which sold for $236.4 million. Becoming the most expensive modern artwork ever auctioned, it has broken all the records of Sotheby’s worldwide. About the auction This 1914–1916 portrait is one of the few Klimt works that is still intact after going through World War II. The bidding is on for 20 minutes among at least six collectors. Oliver Barker was the auctioneer who presided over the exchange in a packed room at Sotheby’s new Breuer Building headquarters.

Expressing her emotions about the painting, Lisa Dennison, Sotheby’s chair of the Americas, said, "This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime painting. The depth of bidding proved that collectors recognised the exceptional rarity and provenance." Also Read: Who were Kessler Twins?

<p>She added, “The hatred and dehumanisation that followed—including Hitler-related comments and a heightened security situation over a brief, ordinary expression—reflect far more about the world than they do about me. It was hard to cope with at first, but it only reinforces exactly why I am here: to stand proudly as a Jewish Israeli woman and to advocate for truth, peace, and unity. And it only motivates me more."</p>

British-Hungarian author David Szalay's book Flesh was described by the judges as ‘extraordinary’ as he was announced as the winner of the Booker Prize 2025. 

British-Hungarian author David Szalay has won the 2025 Booker Prize for his novel Flesh. The prize, considered as one of the highest literary honour, was given to Szalay for writing an ‘extraordinary’ and a very ‘special book’, said the judges. Szalay beat five other shortlisted authors, including Indian novelist Kiran Desai, who won in 2006, and Britain's Andrew Miller, to claim the £50,000 ($65,500) award at a ceremony in London. Szalay had previously been shortlisted for the prestigious literary honour in 2016 for his last work, All That Man Is. About Flesh, the book Szalay’s book Flesh tells the story of an emotionally detached man who is swept through different phases of his life, from a Hungarian housing estate to the world of the ultra-rich in London. His tormented life includes affairs with older women and fighting in Iraq. Author Roddy Doyle, who chaired the judging panel, calls the book dark but a joy to read. “What we particularly liked about Flesh was its singularity. It's just not like any other book,” the Doyle. The judging panel also included Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker alongside authors Ayobami Adebayo and Kiley Reid as well as critic and writer Chris Power and the book got major support from the likes of Dua Lipa and Stormzy. Szalay wanted his book to be set in Hungary and Europe In an interview with the Booker Prize organisation after his novel was longlisted, Szalay said he knew he wanted to write a book that began with Hungary, ended with England and that explored "the cultural and economic divides that characterise" contemporary Europe. "Writing about a Hungarian immigrant at the time when Hungary joined the EU seemed like an obvious way to go," he said. Szalay beat favourites Desai and Miller. Desai was shortlisted for The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, a nearly 700-page novel and her first work since winning the Booker in 2006 for The Inheritance of Loss. Miller, who had also previously been shortlisted for the award, was considered for The Land In Winter. The other shortlisted novels this year were Susan Choi's Flashlight, Katie Kitamura's Audition, and Ben Markovits's The Rest of Our Lives. Last year's prize was won by British writer Samantha Harvey for her short novel, Orbital. Harver presented this year's Booker Prize to Szalay. Born in Montreal, Canada, Szalay grew up in London and now lives in Vienna. He is the author of six works of fiction.

Kris Jenner's 70th birthday bash: Why were cops called at Jeff Bezos’s $165M Beverly Hills mansion?

<p>Just a few weeks before leaving for South America, I learned about an application called Home Exchange, where travellers can exchange homes with locals or live with them. I was drawn to this concept especially because there was no concept of money on the application. It was all about exchange. A little bit like Auroville.

Her home was tasteful and she even had coffee table books of the artist Fernando Botero. I was quite impressed at her desire to help me plan my trip, even though she did not speak English, only Spanish. As someone who speaks broken Spanish, I was able to converse with her comfortably. She helped me plan my whole trip across Colombia. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Next up, in Bogota, I stayed at Hernan and Maria’s home, located in the city center. Even though their home was a small studio, what stood out to me was how they welcomed me with beer and chocolates, which were left on the table for me with a thoughtful note. I stayed at their home for three nights. In the day, I went to see Zipaquira Cathedral with Beyond Colombia tours. It was a well-planned tour and they also stopped on the way at a local restaurant in Zipaquira for lunch. While staying at Hernan and Maria’s home, I got insights into the local life of Bogota. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hopped from one country to the next. In Lima, I stayed at Evelyn’s home. I was surprised at how easy it was to exchange homes. Just one direct message on the app and the hosts responded so fast. All of them were also willing to help and plan my trip, connect me with local operators for tours and I was able to save commission costs during travel. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Evelyn’s home had stunning Peruvian interiors and llamas kept in unique corners of the house.

Beyond the tourist trail: Discovering South America through its people

<p>The Denmark government on Friday announced a political agreement to ban access to social media for children under the age of 15. The move, led by the Ministry of Digitalisation, would set the age limit for access to social media but, after a specific assessment, will give some parents the right to give consent to let their children access social media from age 13. The move follows Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s call for restrictions on children’s use of social media in her opening speech to Parliament last month, due to concerns over the mental health of youth.

Digitalisation minister Caroline Stage said children and young people have their sleep disrupted, lose their peace and concentration, and experience increasing pressure from digital relationships. Tech platforms have had free rein in children’s rooms for far too long, the minister added.

The Denmark government on Friday announced a political agreement to ban access to social media for children under the age of 15. The move, led by the Ministry of Digitalisation, would set the age limit for access to social media but, after a specific assessment, will give some parents the right to give consent to let their children access social media from age 13. The move follows Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s call for restrictions on children’s use of social media in her opening speech to Parliament last month, due to concerns over the mental health of youth. A majority of parties in parliament said they would support the plan. “Denmark is taking a groundbreaking step towards introducing age limits on social media to protect children and young people in the digital world,” said the country’s digitalisation ministry.

However, exceptions can be made if parents believe their child should have access to social media at an earlier age.
