Mark Kermode on… Kathryn Bigelow, a stylish ruffler of feathers

From vampire noir to Bin Laden, Point Break to Detroit, the first woman to win an Oscar for best director has never pulled her punches Watching new Jeff Nichols release The Bikeriders , starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy as 60s Chicago greasers, I was reminded of two other movies: László Benedek’s 1953 Marlon Brando vehicle The Wild One , explicitly cited as an inspiration, and The Loveless , the 1981 feature debut of Kathryn Bigelow , the American film-maker (b.1951) who would go on to become the first woman to win a best director Oscar with her 2008 war drama The Hurt Locker . A symphony of leather-clad posing (with just a touch of Kenneth Anger ), The Loveless was a staple of the late-night circuit in the 80s, often on a double bill with David Lynch’s Eraserhead . Sharing directing credits with Monty Montgomery, Bigelow playfully deconstructed masculinity and machismo in a manner that was one part wry to two parts relish. I remember seeing The Loveless at the Phoenix in East

Jennifer Lawrence again prefers the most simple beauty image

And by the way, it suits the actress very well. Increasingly, 31-year-old Jennifer Lawrence can be seen not on the red carpet or at a social event but walking with her husband, Cook Maroney, and the stroller in which their child is resting gender and name are still not disclosed. Recently, the star family in full force was seen food shopping in the Italian market in Los Angeles. The Don't Look Up actress was dressed in baggy jeans, a graphic T-shirt, and white sandals, while Maroni was dressed in trousers, a gray sweatshirt, and sneakers. The star of "The Hunger Games" did not collect her hair in a ponytail or bun but, as usual, left her careless curls loose. There was not an ounce of makeup on the face of the actress, but even from afar, it was noticeable that her skin was shining. Lawrence tries to keep her family life under the radar, but last year she told Vanity Fair that going to the grocery store with her husband makes her happier and more energized. Therefore, the

To Zawe Ashton, Tom Hiddleston verifies his engagement

The heart of another Hollywood hottie is now bound by family ties. Tom Hiddleston has finally confirmed his engagement to Zawe Ashton even though it's been three months since he got down on one knee. "I'm very happy," the actor said in an interview published on Tuesday. Everyone's favorite, Loki, is not used to shouting about his feelings to the whole world, which may be why such confessions are especially valuable. The couple preferred solitary dates together rather than noisy forays onto the red carpet. But in March, Hiddleston sparked speculation that he proposed to the 37-year-old actress when they were filmed together at the 2022 BAFTA Awards. The lovers smiled in the frame with the British TV presenter AJ Odududu, and the attention of the fans was riveted to the shining diamond ring on the left hand of the companion. And although the couple has been in a relationship since 2019, it was not until September 2021 that they appeared before the audience, gently h

Princess Beatrice broke royal tradition at Ascot

For the first time in 70 years, Elizabeth II was absent from the royal races at Ascot: She had not missed this event before, being a true fan of horses. Instead, she was replaced by the Duchess of Cornwall and the Prince of Wales, who arrived at Royal Ascot in an open carriage. But this is not the only tradition that has been broken by members of the royal family at the races this year. For the first time, Princess Beatrice and her Husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi took part in Royal Ascot as a couple. They appeared at the races accompanied by the cousin of the British Queen, 85-year-old Princess Alexandra of Kent. Journalists and fans of the royal family noticed that Princess Beatrice violated one of the rules of royal regulation, but the reason for this can be called too sweet. It is customary for members of the monarch's family to take seats in the carriage from which the horses harnessed to them can be seen: this way, it is easier for the guests of the race to greet the titled pers

Amber Heard says she loves Johnny Depp

Actress Amber Heard, in the first interview for NBC after the defeat in court against Johnny Depp, spoke about her feelings for her ex-husband. The artist explained that she is experiencing conflicting feelings that are "hard to understand." "I love him. I loved him with all my heart and tried my best to mend a deeply broken relationship. And I couldn't. I don't have any bad feelings or anger towards him," Heard said. At the same time, the Aquaman star claims that he does not give up his words that Depp hurt her during her marriage. "I know it's probably hard to understand. Or maybe very easy if you've ever loved someone... It should be easy," she shared. Earlier it became known that on July 25, a hearing on a new lawsuit against Johnny Depp would take place. The actor will testify on charges of beating on the set. Court documents allege that the actor punched the manager twice in the chest and caused "emotional distress" with ver

Katie Holmes on walk-in dream jeans that will fit into any wardrobe

The sense of style of the actress can only be envied. Reporters photographed the 43-year-old actress on a walk in New York - without a new boyfriend, Bobby Wooten, but in an interesting outfit. Katie chose blue denim Chanel cropped trousers and an anthracite cropped jacket for the runway. The movie star's jeans fit perfectly on her flawless figure, emphasizing her slender waist, while the short top showed a wide corset belt decorated with a chain, elegant tucks at the front, and Maison's signature stitching on the back pockets of the trousers. Holmes' stylish look was complemented by a white T-shirt, black ballerinas, and a Chanel handbag. In a previous post, World fashion publications recognize Katie Holmes as an exemplary model of New York style. There are no bright and provocative dresses, playful prints, and new-fangled accessories in the wardrobe of the actress. Katy's images are always deliberately simple and careless, but at the same time, she always looks chic.

Kanye West charges Adidas of plagiarizing his Yeezy sneakers

Yeezy artist and designer Kanye West made a post on Instagram in which he accused Adidas of copying his ideas and not honoring the contract. Complex reports it. Kanye West posted a photo of the new Adidas Adilette 22 Slides rubber sneakers on his account. The redesign of the new version of the shoe, according to the company, was inspired by "3D terrain and human expeditions to Mars." But, according to West, this is a "blatant copy" of his Yeezy Slide sneakers, which he releases with Adidas. In the post, he addressed the brand's CEO, Kasper Rorsted: "I will no longer tolerate this blatant copying. For the whole sneaker culture... This is for anyone who wants to express themselves but feels they can't because they'll lose their contract or be labeled crazy... These shoes represent the disrespect that people in power have for talent." The Adilette 22 Slides were released in early June for $55 and quickly sold out. Next, the Yeezy Slide was priced

Eiza Gonzalez and Jason Momoa split up

No sooner have we moved away from the parting of "Aquaman" with his beloved wife than he presents a new surprise. For the second time this year, Jason Momoa remains in the status of a bachelor because he spent only four months with Eiza Gonzalez and, after the relationship, suffered the same fate. "They are just very different people," a source said this Tuesday. But the second insider still gave the fans hope that they still have the opportunity to revive such tender feelings. "Jason Momoa and Eiza Gonzalez love each other very much, dated quietly for a while before it went public. But they are at different life stages," said a celebrity acquaintance. The relationship between the two colleagues began in February, just a month after he announced his separation from ex-wife Lisa Bonet. "Now it's not very serious, and they both just see what happens. The stars spend time together whenever they can and work in between their two hectic schedules,"

Kim Kardashian damaged Marilyn Monroe’s ‘naked’ dress at the Met Gala 2022

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world. Give her the wrong dress, and she will piss off millions of fans. Kim Kardashian made waves at the 2022 Met Gala when she walked the museum's red carpet in Marilyn Monore's iconic 1962 nude dress. For this special occasion, the TV star even dropped 7 kilos and later changed into a replica of the same dress as she couldn't move freely in the original outfit. "I have a lot of respect for the dress and what it represents to American history. I would never want to sit in it, eat it, or put it at risk of any kind of damage, and I won't put on body makeup like I usually do," she told Vogue before the party. However, it seems that even a banal posing for photos on the red carpet could cause serious damage to the "most expensive dress in the world." On Monday, Pop Culture published photos of the outfit, allegedly taken before and after Kardashian wore it to the annual ball. In one of the shots, trac

Look at Kate Middleton in a white dress perfect for summer outings

The Duchess of Cambridge has replaced Meghan Markle in another important post. Prince William and Kate Middleton attended a memorial service at Westminster Abbey to mark the anniversary of the tragedy at the 24-story Grenfell Tower in North Kensington, London. The horrific fire that killed 71 residents of the tower, mainly from Africa and the Middle East, happened on June 14, 2017. Since then, Meghan Markle has been charitable in curating the victims of the tragedy, but now the duty of the Duchess of Sussex has passed to Kate. Kate Middleton and her husband laid a wreath of white flowers at the memorial and bowed their heads in a moment of silence. During the visit, the couple also met with relatives of the fire victims and talked to those who came to the tower, promising further support for the victims. For the memorable exit, Kate Middleton opted for an elegant fitted dress with contrasting buttons and white Alessandra Rich pumps with black capes. The duchess's modest and sophist
