Dolce & Gabbana: Pyjama party on Viale Piave
The thing about Dolce & Gabbana is that when they like an idea, they really get their teeth into it—like this Saturday, when they staged the greatest pyjama party in fashion history. Stripes, stripes and more stripes, leading to a finale where two score of hirsute male models marched out in pajama pants, blazers, shorts and suits—all maxi decorated with crystal, jet and strass. 'Light, light, everything just light. Welcome to summer!' enthused Stefano Gabbana backstage after a show staged on the day of the summer solstice. Presented in their show space on Viale Piave, the set featured an all-white proscenium—the better to highlight the pyjamas. The mood juxtaposed with the dramatic soundtrack—a mashup of Ludwig van Beethoven's greatest hits, all the way to death knocking on the door symbolically in Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. With White Lotus star Theo James and Emily in Paris heartthrob Lucien Laviscount sitting front row, the show kicked off. Starting with some great crinkly suits—pyjama stripes piped and cut into massively wide pants, cool jammies and loose jackets. Low-slung pants—the better to see big yellow and green boxers underneath. Made in a palette of pink, baby blue, café au lait—they all exuded optimism. Looks destined for a beachside dance or cocktail hour and not the bedroom. Gradually, the duo injected more tailoring—with wide-lapel chalk-stripe gangster jackets paired with polka dot shirts and graphic ties. When the evening turned chilly, they proposed all manner of animal print looks: from tiger print dressing gowns in faux fur to cheetah pony skin dusters. Leading to the pyjama party finale, when the entire cast marched out of the show space and along Viale Piave to immense cheers from a couple of thousand fans outside. The show comes at a pivotal moment for the house, which recently tapped into €150 million in financing to bankroll investment in beauty and real estate. And, one couldn't help noticing, Dolce & Gabbana show invitations arriving in Milan hotels this week came with a bottle of their latest cologne.

Love Island's Shaughna Phillips showcases her six stone weight loss in stunning lingerie transformation snaps
Shaughna Phillips looked incredible as she showed off her nearly six stone weight loss in an impressive before and after snap. The former Love Island star, 31, has been working hard on her diet and fitness in recent years and has gone from 97kg (15st) to 61kg (9.6st). The influencer embarked on her weight loss journey following the birth of her daughter, Lucia, in 2023. In her latest post, Shaughna shared a photo of herself in white lingerie alongside another taken 14 months later after losing the weight. Alongside the post, she wrote: 'Let the record reflect, although I've dropped a few dress sizes, I will ALWAYS love a high waisted full brief.' The star was inundated with messages from followers who wrote: 'Well done'... 'You look happy with your new body that's all that matters lovely'... 'Well done you look amazing. Determined to be the strongest version of herself for her little one, she ditched old habits in favour of a disciplined meal plan and quick-fire boxing-inspired workouts. It comes after Shaughna, who was told previously she was clinically obsese, showed off her figure in a white bikini as she shared before and after shots of her weight loss. She posted three side-by-side pictures of herself on her weight loss journey - on day one, nine months in and just over a year later. She wrote over the top of it: 'This is me on day one fronting it out, showing sass I didn't feel.' The video then skipped to her at the end of her weight loss journey as she wore a similar bikini, showing off her weight loss. She added: 'Just hoping I'd get to here one day and still kinda shook that did.' The Love Island star has dropped five dress sizes after starting on her fitness and diet plan and is now a healthier nine stone 10lbs. Shaughna recently addressed claims she's used Ozempic to slim down, after stunning fans with her weight loss. She was hit by accusations that she used the drug Ozempic, which was previously used to treat diabetes but in recent years has been used by stars as an appetite suppressant. But the star has hit back at the claims, telling The Mirror: 'I love food way too much.' She went on to add: 'There's a new fad every other year. It just so happens that this is the fad this time around, and after I have lost weight. 'The thing is, it just coincided with the time when I had my daughter Lucia, and I had this baby weight, and everyone was commenting on it. 'Had it of been a few years prior, everyone would have been saying I had a BBL, or some magical liposuction that completely transformed how I looked.' Shaughna went on to add that she is 'terrified' by the prospect of the side effects of using Ozempic.
