The former Miss India pageant winner opted for an all-black chic outfit for the meeting. She wore a double-breasted blazer with a plunging V neckline, metallic gold button closures on the front, padded shoulders, a tailored fitting, front pockets, and full-length sleeves. She donned the blazer over a tank top featuring a deep square neckline.
A matching black skirt completed the ensemble. It features a relaxed straight fit, a midi-length hem, ruffled design embroidered on the hem, and a flowy A-line silhouette. She accessorised the look with a dainty diamond necklace, matching earrings, and black pumps.
With her tresses left loose in a centre parting and styled with soft, blowout waves, she chose darkened brows, plum lip shade, flushed cheeks, mascara-adorned lashes, winged eyeliner, and glowing highlighter for the glam.
In a statement, Iervolino stated that the visit was made in cue for a private audience for the delegation from the film Maserati: The Brothers, which stars Al Pacino. As per the statement reported to Deadline, 'The meeting was a moment of profound spiritual and cultural inspiration, centered around shared values that lie at the heart of both the Catholic Church and the film: family unity, love, compassion and the importance of contributing to the common good.'

Ustad Bahauddin Dagar: At 16, I saw timelessness in music
Growing up, the little Bahauddin saw his mother teach sitar every day and his uncle indulge in jazz. 'Once, American jazz musician Don Cherry came home as well. It was my uncle who exposed me to new genres; in no time, I was listening to Boney M, Madonna, hard rock, and metal. I even had a keen interest in painting and considered pursuing Fine Arts. But at 16, something changed,' he reveals. What was that turning point? The maestro recalls, 'Well, I played the tanpura behind my father at The Festival of India tour in 1986. Suddenly, my eyes and ears opened to the nuances of music…it was marvellous. I saw a timelessness in it.' Thereafter, he devoted his days to music. But he started learning the Rudra Veena, which is second nature to him today, after his father passed away in 1990. 'This instrument requires undivided attention. Family and friends become secondary. And I do not regret my decision at all,' he states. In a line of work that requires, by and large, hours of riyaaz (practice), steely focus, and perfection, Ustad Bahauddin confesses that he makes mistakes — and is not embarrassed. 'So what? It is not an examination. Making a mistake is when I am doing something new!' And embodying the 'new' is what this maestro solemnly stands by. 'When I was younger, people would chide me, saying I wasn't as good as my father. I wasn't hurt, no; rather, the fire in my belly prodded me to be better and new. If I am just like my father, what will be special about me?' he asks.

While Taylor Swift is away, Travis Kelce and Brittany Mahomes share unexpected off-duty bonding moment
Travis Kelce and Brittany Mahomes share unexpected off-duty bonding moment while Taylor Swift is away (Getty Images) Amid the intense grind of preseason prep, the Kansas City Chiefs' superstars are finding rare moments to decompress — and it's not always as expected. With Taylor Swift absent from the spotlight, tight end Travis Kelce surprised fans by attending a concert where there was Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes sans Swift. Taylor Swift MIA as Travis Kelce and Brittany Mahomes share unexpected off-duty bonding moment While the Chiefs' mandatory minicamp sessions are underway and Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce continue to lead the charge on the field, Thursday night offered a brief but telling detour. Brittany Mahomes documented the outing on her Instagram, offering a rare peek into their off-field camaraderie. In one post, she shared a selfie video with Patrick, showing the couple enjoying a relaxed evening. But the more talked-about moment came in a follow-up post — one where Brittany posed with friends, including Travis Kelce. Although Taylor and Kelce were seen just days earlier attending Game 4 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final together, Swift wasn't present for this outing. Instead, Kelce appeared at ease, hanging out with Brittany and friends during a casual, fun-filled night that reflected the close-knit nature of the Chiefs' inner circle. It remains unclear whether Kelce arrived at the concert with the Mahomes couple or simply met them there, but the easy camaraderie on display certainly sparked attention. While fans are accustomed to seeing Kelce and Swift make high-profile appearances — including their recent date night at the Stanley Cup Final in Florida — this latest interaction had a different vibe. It underscored Kelce's ongoing connection with the Mahomes family, even when Swift isn't by his side. Sources recently told People that Swift, now free from the pressures of touring, 'plans to be at as many of his games as possible.' With a less demanding schedule this fall, the couple is expected to enjoy more grounded time together. 'They've both had such demanding schedules for so long, so having this stretch of time where things aren't quite as chaotic feels like a welcome change,' the insider added. Still, while Taylor is momentarily out of the frame, Travis Kelce's continued presence in the Mahomes' world tells us about the friendship and team spirit in Kansas City don't pause — not even in the offseason.
