Zimmerman Is An It-Girl's Bohemian Holiday Dream — These Are The Best 12 Pieces To Wear Now
It's no secret that Australian brand Zimmermann has holiday dressing sussed. Founded by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann in 1991, the label has put easy, breezy bohemian dresses high on our packing lists ever since. Zimmermann's signature louche silhouettes, evocative cutouts and, perhaps most pointedly, its dreamy prints have made it the resort wear brand of choice for It-girls world over. You need to look no further to understand the brand's universal allure than a recent trip to Mykonos, where a set of global stars descended on the Greek island to toast the latest Zimmermann collection. Among those notable names wearing the brand from top-to-toe was Laura Harrier. 'Zimmermann just gets the fantasy of vacation,' the American actor tells ELLE UK. 'The pieces are feminine, elevated, and light enough to toss in a suitcase but still make you feel like the main character wherever you are.' 'Pack things that move,' Harrier says on the topic of packing like a pro. 'Anything that flows, flutters, or catches the light a little. Those are the pieces that make the moment feel cinematic.' She's right. Zimmermann's signature aesthetic comes most alive when worn in roomy silhouettes, whether silk chiffon evening dresses or sweet cotton two sets for the day. What's best about curating a holiday wardrobe from Zimmermann is the consistency of its collections, which means you can just continue to add and build your wardrobe like you do your holiday memories. Even if the brand's signature bohemian elegance isn't your usual thing, it's hard not to fall for it or consider it the ultimate switch off. Trying on a new guise is an easy way to side step out of your usual life and into something all the more relaxed. If this is the summer you signal your first foray into the world of Zimmermann then here's where to begin. Laura's favourite? 'A floor-length black dress I wore one night —sleeveless, super fluid, and it felt very Grecian goddess. The silhouette was so simple but powerful, and the way it moved in the wind by the water… it was giving drama without trying too hard. Definitely my favourite moment.' Freelancer

Nobody taught them: Scientists are stunned by how these tiny insects use the Milky Way as a guide to travel 1,000 km
A small insect, the Bogong moth, travels 1,000 kilometres every year at night across Australia. These moths leave the heat of southeastern Australia in spring to rest in cool caves in the Australian Alps. They return in autumn to mate and die. A new study shows that these moths use the stars to guide them, just like birds and humans. This is the first time such a skill has been found in insects. The Bogong moth, now endangered, has a wingspan of about 5 cm. They sense Earth's magnetic field, which gives them a backup if the sky is cloudy. Scientists studied around 400 Bogong moths to understand how they travel 1,000 km at night. Now, they are amazed at how these small-brained creatures manage such complex navigation. These moths can see dim stars 15 times brighter than humans, helping them use the Milky Way as a guide. Other animals like monarch butterflies and dung beetles also use light for navigation, but not for such long, exact journeys. What's truly special is that Bogong moths make this journey only once in their life and learn it by instinct. Their parents are dead before they're born. Yet, they know where to go. Australian researcher Eric Warrant tested if they also used stars for guidance. He set up a special lab at his home, near the moths' destination in the Alps. Using a light trap, he caught moths and fixed them to thin rods that allowed them to fly while recording their direction. The lab projected the southern night sky, just like it looked outside. Amazingly, the moths flew in the correct migratory direction, south in spring and north in autumn. The experiment showed how they used star patterns to guide their way. 'It is an act of true navigation. They're able to use the stars as a compass to find a specific geographic direction to navigate, and this is a first for invertebrates,' CNN quoted Warrant as saying. 'With a very small brain, a very small nervous system, they are able to harness two relatively complex cues and not only detect them, but also use them to work out where to go,' Warrant said.

India vs England 2025 1st Test: Jasprit Bumrah in 'fast-forward' mode to greatness, says star India player
Jasprit Bumrah celebrates after claiming five wickets against England in the 1st Test at Leeds. (Photo: ANI) Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah claimed his 14th five-wicket haul to bowl out England for 465 in their first innings of the first Test at the Headingley in Leeds. It was Bumrah's 12th five-wicket haul away from home, equally the record set by former India captain Kapil Dev. Bumrah also has the most five-wicket hauls since he himself made his debut in Test cricket, surpassing Australian skipper Pat Cummins and Taijul Islam, who have claimed 13 five-wicket hauls each since the Indian pacer's debut. On 'Match Centre Live', JioHotstar experts Sanjay Manjrekar and Nick Knight analysed the standout moments — praising KL Rahul's near-flawless innings on third day, dissecting England's tactical plans against Sai Sudharsan, and lauding Bumrah's rapid ascent towards all-time greatness. Speaking on 'Match Centre Live' after the conclusion of Day 3 of the first Test, JioHotstar expert Sanjay Manjrekar hailed KL Rahul's near-flawless innings as 'perfection in motion' while praising Sudharsan's technique: 'We've seen KL Rahul play many good innings over the years, but I have to say — that knock was very close to perfection. Honestly, he didn't put a foot wrong. There were a couple of cover drives in particular that were absolute 10 out of 10 — even the harshest of critics would struggle to find a flaw. It was perfection in motion. There's a lot of responsibility on KL Rahul, and he's carrying it superbly. Touch wood, he's looking in excellent rhythm,' Manjrekar said. 'As for Sai Sudharsan, it was good to see him get some runs under his belt. He'll be disappointed not to kick-on because, as a batter, once you cross 30, you feel like you've assessed the attack and done the hard work. But that's where he's unique — very old-school in his approach. He plays the ball late, very still at the crease, no exaggerated trigger movement — just classic technique. That short-arm jab, the cover drive, even the straight drive… textbook stuff,' former India cricketer added. England's bowlers can't find a way past #TeamIndia's unconquerable fortress! 🔥 🗣 #NavjotSinghSidhu & #VarunAaron praise #KLRahul's outstanding technique & determination! Will he stand strong again on Day 4, or will England finally break through? 👀 #ENGvIND | 1st Test, Day… — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 23, 2025 KL Rahul's technique is tailormade for England: Nick Knight JioHotstar expert Nick Knight praised KL Rahul's tailormade technique for England. 'I just love watching KL Rahul bat. He's one of my favourite players to watch — such elegance, such control. I genuinely believe his style and technique are tailormade for English conditions. He gets into a solid stride, really gets that front foot close to the pitch of the ball, which helps him cover any lateral movement — something that's critical here in England. His balance today was outstanding. 'I noticed England tried to go a little fuller to him, maybe in an attempt to draw out the bottom hand and make him play through mid-wicket. But when they hit that in-between length, he was just too good — so much control, composure, and time. And overall, that partnership at the top was just excellent. Set the tone beautifully for India,' former England opener Nick Knight said about Rahul. Jasprit Bumrah's rate of notching up milestones is unbelievable: Sanjay Manjrekar Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar hailed Jasprit Bumrah and projected him as an all-time Indian bowling legend if he maintains this trajectory. 'He's in fast-forward mode when it comes to achieving greatness and reaching milestones. Just look at the number of five-wicket hauls he's picked up in England — and you think about how many legendary bowlers have toured here multiple times to get close to that. This guy isn't even at 50 Test matches yet. And if he plays all five in this series — although we're told he might be rotated — just imagine what those numbers could look like. The rate at which he's racking up those milestones is simply unbelievable. If he gets to 100 Test matches, and stays fit, we might be talking about one of the great fast-bowling careers in Indian cricket history. 'If someone asked me to pick India's best-ever seam bowler, just on pure skill and impact, I'd have to go with Jasprit Bumrah. Of course, we've had the legendary Kapil Dev. There's been Zaheer Khan, who was formidable in his own right. Further back, you had names like Mohammad Nissar — true pioneers of Indian fast bowling. But if I'm being honest, it would be difficult for me to not pick Bumrah as my number one. He's not just a match-winner, he's a once-in-a-generation talent,' Manjrekar added. Manjrekar said there is no bowler in the league of Bumrah in either side. 'Realistically, after putting up 471 in the first innings, what this young Indian batting line-up has already achieved is commendable. Now, if they can back that up with a second-innings total of around 350 or even 325 — and that's all speculative of course — it would still be an outstanding batting effort. That would set England a target in the region of 350-360, and you never know with this England side — they could very well go after it and pull it off in normal course. But here's the leveller: India have Jasprit Bumrah. And there's no bowler in this Test — on either side — quite in his league. If the pitch continues to dry out and starts turning more, India not only have Bumrah, but they also have Ravindra Jadeja coming into play. That combination can make life very difficult for England. Which is why I believe we're heading towards a very close Test match,' Manjrekar said.
