Daily Mail​29-04-2025

The stars were out in force for the Chanel Cruise 2025 fashion show held at Villa D'Este on Lake Como, Italy, on Tuesday,
White Lotus star Sarah Catherine Hook looked elegant in a black satin dress as she joined chic Margaret Qualley and Lupita Nyong'o for the event.
The actress, 30, wowed in the sophisticated number from the luxury brand which featured pretty lace detailing and straps.
She accessorised perfectly with a tiny quilted Chanel bag and silver earrings while sweeping her hair up in a sleek bun.
Actress Margaret meanwhile, 30, meanwhile wore a leggy light grey tweed dress and classic black and white heels.
She wore her brunette locks swept up and posed up a storm by the water after making her arrival.
Actress Lupita, 42, looked incredible in a sheer ruffled skirt and boxy jacket with silver button detailing.
She completed her look with dark shades and a silver Chanel pin in her hair.
Elsewhere Keira Knightley looked effortlessly chic in a flowing white and black gown at the event.
The American actress, 40, turned heads as she arrived at the luxury five-star venue for the annual show.
Keira looked out of this world in the very elegant maxi dress, adorned with black bow motifs and a pearl belt.
The beauty has been married to her husband James Righton since 2013, and they are parents to two children, Edie, nine and Delilah, five.
Elsewhere at the catwalk, French model and music producer Caroline de Maigret, 50, showcased her age-defying looks in black tailored trousers and a cream blouse.
Meanwhile, French-Romanian actress Anamaria Vartolomei, 26, couldn't contain her laughter as she shielded her face from the sun.
Italian actress Gaia Girace, 21, looked chic in a black pleated leather skirt and miniature Chanel handbag.
Actress Selene Caramazza put on a very leggy display and flashed her torso in a stylish black co-ord.
Keira's Italian outing comes after she spoke about her mixed feelings surrounding her role in Pirates of the Caribbean films while promoting her Netflix series Black Doves.
In an interview with The Times, the two-time Oscar nominee said the franchise 'was making and breaking' her at the same time.
'I was seen as s*** because of them,' she explained, 'and yet because they did so well, I was given the opportunity to do the films that I ended up getting Oscar nominations for.'
Keira said they were 'the most successful films I'll ever be a part of, and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly. So they're a very confused place in my head.'
The 2003 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl helped launch Keira's career into the stratosphere, but it came with a cost.
The action adventure starring Orlando Bloom, Jeffrey Rush and Johnny Depp made more than $654 million worldwide according to Box Office Mojo.
The film received average reviews from critics, but audiences disagreed and showed their approval in box office ticket sales.
Keira and Orlando starred in two more films in the franchise, 2006's Dead Man's Chest and 2007's At World's End.
Both were panned by critics, but were big winners at the box office, with Dead Man's Chest earning more than $1 billion and At World's End coming in close with more than $961 million.
The attention from the film resulted in a lot of attention on Keira appearance, including her thinness and she was accused in the media of having an eating disorder.
She also revealed in 2018 she had been treated for post-traumatic stress.
'In that classic trauma way I don't remember it,' she told the outlet.
Netflix has also announced it has renewed Black Doves for a second season after the first of the thriller series became a hit with fans - and royalty.
It was an instant hit, flying to the top of the charts as viewers dubbed it a ' Christmas series' and it even made it to Kensington Palace.
Whilst handing out Christmas presents to children and families at a party for 1st Battalion Mercian Regiment in Wiltshire, Prince William revealed he and Princess Catherine have been sitting down to watch Black Doves.

Don't miss these gripping TV shows adapted from best-selling books

Some of our favourite novels have been adapted for the small screen. Here are 12 of the best book-to-TV shows to watch out for... TV bosses are taking a novel approach to making shows, with bestsellers being turned into gripping thrillers and captivating dramas. From Game of Thrones to The Handmaid's Tale and Bridgerton, some of our favourite TV shows are based on beloved books. For page-turning new shows, look no further… here we take a look at a dozen of the best book-to-TV adaptations coming soon. ‌ A Woman Of Substance, Channel 4 ‌ Novel: A Woman Of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford Plot: Fresh from hanging up her Vera hat, Brenda Blethyn is now starring as the inimitable Emma Harte, a poor housemaid-turned-mogul, daughter, mother, lover, fighter and 20th century feminist icon who refused to know her place. Jessica Reynolds plays the younger Emma, with other cast including Emmett J Scanlan, Leanne Best, Will Mellor and Lenny Rush.

It's comedic but also very emotional.' ‌ Lynley, BBC1 ‌ Plot: Leo Suter and Sofia Barclay star as the unconventional detective duo DI Tommy Lynley and DS Barbara Havers in this new imagining of the hit crime novels. If it sounds familiar, it's already been on the BBC in the past as The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, but this latest version promises a contemporary update.

The cast includes Amit Shah, Meghan Treadway, Tamzin Outhwaite. ‌ Waiting For The Out, BBC1 Novel: The Life Inside by Andy West Plot: Based on a memoir, Josh Finan leads the cast as Dan, a philosopher who begins teaching a class of men in prison.

Through his work, Dan begins to dig deeper into his own past – growing up with a violent father (Gerard Kearns) who ended up in prison, as did his brother Lee (Stephen Wight) and uncle Frank (Phil Daniels). Josh says: 'It's a hugely sensitive, empathic, hilarious and at times deeply emotional story.' ‌ Ladies In Black, U ‌ Plot: This stylish six-part Australian import is set in the 1960s and follows the lives of women working at a fictional department store in Sydney. At a time of huge social change, they must navigate love, ambition and identity. Miranda Otto, who plays the head of model gowns, Virginia, says: 'I loved the book and thought the TV series was a great chance to take the story further. Also stars Clare Hughes, Debi Mazar, Jessica DeGouw and Azizi Donnelly. Expect glamour, gloss and girdles. The Seven Dials Mystery, Netflix ‌ Novel: The Seven Dials Mystery by Agatha Christie Plot: Billed as 'Agatha Christie, for a whole new generation'. It's England, 1925. At a lavish country house party, a practical joke appears to have gone horribly, murderously wrong.

It follows the lives of sisters Rachel (Caroline Menton), Claire (Danielle Galligan), Maggie (Stefanie Preissner), Helen (Mairead Tyers) and Anna (Louisa Harland) as they navigate their 20s and 30s. A comedy with series topics, expect themes of heartbreak, grief, addiction and parenthood. Marian says: 'I love the scripts, they've really kept the spirit of the books.' ‌ Steve, Netflix ‌ Plot: Cillian Murphy stars in this intense feature-length drama that is based on a book that 'broke his heart'. He plays a headteacher at a college that aims to reform students, with the story taking place over 24 hours. As he and the students try to stop the school facing closure, Steve also struggles with his mental health. The plot also follows Shy, a troubled teenager who is on a self-destructive path. Cillian says: 'I love films that happen in real time, there's immediately an intense pressure on the characters.' A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, Sky Atlantic ‌ Novel: A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms novels by George R.R. Martin Plot: Game of Thrones fans, brace yourselves, the world of Westeros is expanding with this second prequel spin-off. Set 100 years before GoT and 100 years after House of the Dragon, this six-parter tells a gentler tale about Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). It's a lighter series, but author George teases: 'It's still Westeros, so no one is truly safe.'
