The 58-year-old actress arrived at fashion's biggest event but admitted that after leaving the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.She treated herself to some fried chicken after starving herself all day so that she could fit into her somewhat revealing LaQuan Smith dress, reports 'Female First UK'.She told E! News, "I haven't eaten anything all day, trying to wear this dress. They told me I could have a little treat for myself, and come here and get some Cane's chicken. So, I'm like, yes, I'm there".As per 'Female First UK', the Academy Award-winning star was then asked when she was left most "star-struck" during the evening and revealed that her "jaw dropped" when she got to witness a performance given by 'Isn't She Lovely' crooner Stevie Wonder.She said: "I didn't know this would happen but Stevie Wonder performed tonight, and that was just a jaw-dropping moment, I had no idea that I would get to see it like that. He has such a good voice, it was just a real treat".The 'Never Let Go' actress was dressed in a LaQuan original and explained that her personal "highlight" of the night came when she got to see several others wearing clothes also designed by him, more than a decade after she started working with the luxury fashion brand founder.She added, "I think seeing everybody out looking so dandy-ish and I think it was really special that I went with LaQuan , he designed my dress, I was his muse. To see him shine tonight and see his creations come to life on all the people he dressed was really special. It was so fun and so easy"."He showed me some sketches. I chose two that I really liked, so he made two dresses. The dresses were gorgeous. I could hardly choose. I asked LaQuan, 'Which one would you like me to wear?' So, I chose his favourite", she added.

Alia Bhatt puts an end to pregnancy rumours as she steps out after Alpha rehearsals in viral video; watch
Jun 21, 2025 12:17 PM IST 2022 was a very exciting year for Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt. Not only did she tie the knot with her longtime-boyfriend and childhood crush Ranbir Kapoor at their Bandra home, but also finally arrived on the silver screen with their much-awaited passion project Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva. But the biggest highlight of the year, and a prominent milestone in Alia and Ranbir's lives, was the birth of their daughter Raha. This year, Raha is all set to celebrate her third birthday. Meanwhile, the internet is convinced that Alia is gearing up to welcome Raha's sibling into the world. Alia Bhatt after Alpha dance rehearsal But where did these pregnancy rumours about Alia Bhatt stem from? No, Alia and Ranbir Kapoor have not yet hinted at any such 'good news'. The reason why these reports have been doing the rounds for a while now is Alia's recent appearances. It all began with an Armani Privé gown that the actor wore for an evening event during the Cannes Film Festival 2025. Buzz died down when Alia attended her friend's wedding in Spain, but the rumour mill started churning again earlier this week when Alia was spotted outside her gym a few times. Most of the times she hurried into her car after peeping from behind the open door, quickly waving at cameras. However, her latest appearance has once and for all squashed all pregnancy rumours. Netizens were convinced that Alia was trying to hide her baby bump behind the car door. But in her latest viral paparazzi video, which surfaced on the internet last night, we finally got to see all of Alia as she happily walked out after a dance rehearsal for her next film Alpha. The actor looked fit as ever, flaunting her toned waist in a black sleeveless knotted crop top and high-waist pants, her hair half up. This viral video will surely shut down rumours for now. On the film front, Alia is currently gearing up for Alpha, also starring Sharvari, which is set to release on Christmas this year.

Leonardo DiCaprio's new girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti is above 25 and the internet can't keep calm
(Image: For years, Leonardo DiCaprio's love life has followed a predictable (and slightly comical) pattern: date a stunning woman under 25, part ways before her next birthday, and repeat. It became such a thing that people started calling it the 'Leo 25 Rule'—a sort of invisible stopwatch ticking away in the background of every one of his relationships. But now? That stopwatch might've finally stopped. Enter Vittoria Ceretti, the 27-year-old Italian supermodel who's got the looks, the career, and, more importantly, the age that's turning heads across Hollywood. Not just because she's drop-dead gorgeous or because she struts runways for Prada and Chanel like she was born on them—but because, finally, Leo's dating a woman who doesn't come with a countdown clock. The Cannes connection Their romance reportedly began around Cannes 2023, a fitting backdrop for two people who are essentially walking cinema. While they kept things low-key at first, things took a bold turn in May 2025 when the pair made a high-voltage appearance at the Met Gala. Vittoria, dressed in a sheer burgundy gown with the confidence of a woman completely comfortable in her own skin, walked side-by-side with Leo, who for once didn't seem to be dodging the cameras. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Olvídate de repostar CUPRA Ver oferta Undo The body language was subtle but intimate—hands grazing, private smiles, that knowing look couples share when they're on the same wavelength. Paparazzi caught them laughing between poses, leaning in mid-conversation, and looking genuinely…well, happy. And the internet noticed. Breaking the 'Under 25' cycle Let's not sugarcoat it—Leo's dating track record has become a pop culture punchline. From Gisele Bündchen to Bar Refaeli, every breakup happened like clockwork when the woman turned 25. It's been charted, graphed, and turned into viral memes. He's never said out loud that he has an age limit, but the pattern has been too strong to ignore. So when fans discovered that Vittoria is 27, the reaction was immediate: wait, is Leo... evolving? It's not just her age that's got people hopeful. It's who she is. Vittoria: More than a supermodel Born in Brescia, Italy, Vittoria Ceretti has been modeling since she was a teenager. But she's no fresh face. She's walked for Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Chanel, Balenciaga, and graced multiple international Vogue covers. She's known for her cool-girl charisma, artsy edge, and not playing the typical 'celebrity girlfriend' role. Insiders say she's fiercely independent, emotionally mature, and not interested in fame for fame's sake—which, let's be honest, is probably refreshing for someone like Leo. Their chemistry, as insiders note, is 'easy and unforced.' She's not star-struck, he's not trying too hard, and there's reportedly 'a lot of mutual respect.' That's not something we've heard about many of his past flings. Rumors, rings, and real talk Of course, it wouldn't be a Leo romance without a few rumors. Tabloids floated the idea of a secret engagement in late 2024, but sources close to the couple say there's no ring—yet. Still, those same sources hint that DiCaprio is 'more grounded' with Vittoria than he's been in years. Some even speculate that fatherhood might not be completely off the table anymore. One insider told a celeb weekly: 'He's not suddenly planning a white-picket-fence life, but he's thinking more seriously about the future.' No one's saying he's ready to settle down with a house in the suburbs and a Labradoodle. But dating someone outside of his 'forever 24' comfort zone? That's already big news. A Hollywood glow-up? Look, Leo has always been Leonardo DiCaprio—Oscar-winner, climate activist, Hollywood legend. But his personal life? It often felt like it belonged to a man stuck in the same loop. With Vittoria Ceretti, the vibe is different. She brings grace, wit, independence, and just enough European cool to make even Leo look like he's trying to keep up. They're stylish, age-appropriate (finally!), and—dare we say—kind of wholesome. So maybe the jokes can stop. Maybe we're watching Leonardo DiCaprio, almost 50, lean into a version of adulthood that doesn't come with Peter Pan syndrome. Because for the first time in a long time, he's not dating someone who still needs a learner's permit to rent a car. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
