Posting up a storm at the Maison de La Chimie on Tuesday, Kim looked amazing as she donned a form-fitting blue-hued silver number.
She had a plunging neckline and her black locks in a sleek updo.
Momager Kris Jenner supported her daughter as she attended the premiere too, wearing a black and white gown, with her hair scooped up in a bun atop her head.
She also showed off her amazing facelift in the process while standing beside her daughter.

This article contains spoilers for the Season 9 finale of “Love Is Blind.”
Netflix’s hit dating series “Love is Blind” is actually an experiment, its creator, Chris Coelen, says. The show tests whether couples can build a lasting relationship based on a core emotional bond that is not tethered to physical attraction or appearances.
In Season 9, for the first time in the show’s history, the experiment failed to create lasting bonds. No couples from this season said “I do” at the altar in the finale, which began streaming Wednesday.
Six couples left the pods engaged, but the decoupling began almost immediately, with Kacie McIntosh breaking things off with Patrick Suzuki. They were followed by Annie Lancaster and Nick Amato, and finally Madison Maidenberg and Joe Ferrucci, whose breakups were documented in Episodes 10 and 11. The remaining couples going into the final episode, where the weddings would take place, were Ali Lima and Anton Yarosh; Kalybriah Haskin and Edmond Harvey; and Megan Walerius and Jordan Keltner.
Megan and Jordan didn’t make it to the altar — Megan broke things off just before the wedding because she felt their lifestyles would not mesh well long term. That partly had to do with their jobs. Jordan works long hours in transportation and logistics, while Megan is a wealthy entrepreneur with a flexible working schedule. Jordan is also a single father to a young son, who has Type 1 diabetes. Over the course of the season, the pair often discussed the demands of parenting.
Anton said “I do,” but Ali said “I can’t be your wife” at the altar. She said she felt like the man she had fallen in love with in the pods was not the person she’d been experiencing in real life before she ran off in tears. Anton said in an interview later that he had “done nothing but care for her,” and that the rejection “f— sucks.”
Kalybriah also said no at the altar after her fiancé said yes. Kalybriah said Edmond “deserve[s] someone that is 100% at the altar” and that she wasn’t there. Edmond had a tempered reaction to the rejection, and Kalybriah thanked him for being graceful before the two walked off hand in hand. Kalybriah left the door open for a possible reconciliation down the road.
Season 9 was full of messy breakups and controversial comments from the participants. Patrick went into the experiment with insecurities about his Asian American identity, and his short-lived fiancée, Kacie, broke up with him on the heels of their first meeting. Annie and Nick, who split before the wedding preparations were in full swing, received backlash over a conversation they had about raising LGBTQ+ children, and they have both since walked back those comments in recent interviews. And an argument between Kalybriah and Edmond about her decision to wait until the wedding to have sex with him was the subject of intense scrutiny on social media.
Before Season 9, each season ended with at least one couple getting married. While some later split, many still remain married and several have started families. Days before Season 9’s finale was released, Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed-Hamilton from Season 1 announced Monday that they welcomed their first child together.
The Season 9 reunion, which will address unanswered questions about the many breakups, will be available to stream on Netflix on Oct. 29 at 6 p.m. PT/ 9 p.m. ET.
“Harper & Hal,” premiering Sunday on the cinema-centric streamer Mubi, is a gorgeous, generous limited series that has nothing to show you other than people, how they are and how they do or do not get along. Its elements are not unfamiliar, because they’re drawn from life, rather than from the movies — or just from the movies, as they’re subjects to which the movies have often turned.
But, like this year’s “Adolescence,” which it (differently) resembles in its mix of naturalism and artifice, the series, written and directed by and starring 28-year-old Cooper Raiff — writer-director-star of the indie features “Shithouse” and “Cha Cha Real Smooth” — demonstrates that something fresh can still be done in an oversaturated medium.
While the story spreads out over eight episodes, the cast is compact. Harper (Lili Reinhart) is the daughter of Mark Ruffalo’s character, credited only as “Dad”; Hal (Raiff) is her younger brother. Alyah Chanelle Scott plays Jesse, Harper’s longtime girlfriend; Havana Rose Liu is Abby, Hal’s shorter-time girlfriend; Kate (Betty Gilpin) is Dad’s girlfriend. The company is completed by Audrey (Addison Timlin), divorced with two small children, who shares an office with Harper, and Hal’s roommate, Kalen (Christopher Meyer).
In scenes set in the past, Reinhart and Raiff play their younger selves, a la Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle’s “Pen15,” with less overt comedy, though Raiff’s performance as very young Hal, whom no one in the series describes as hyperactive (though I will — not a doctor) is often funny. It’s not a gimmick but a device — much as the one-shot production of “Adolescence” was not performative cleverness, but the right fit for the material — both in the sense of the child being the parent of the adult, and because it allows for a different, deeper sort of performance than one is liable to get from a first or a third grader. (As spookily good as small child actors can be.) Significantly, it unifies the characters across time.
A confluence of events triggers the drama. The house Hal and Harper grew up in — and which Dad, who spends much of the series seriously depressed especially, can’t let go — is being sold. (Harper and Hal are in L.A.; the house, and Dad and Kate, are elsewhere.) Kate is pregnant; there’s a chance the baby might have Down syndrome, which leads Dad to reflect that with “a disabled kid … you gotta meet them where they are every day” and that he might have been a more present parent to his older children. Jesse has a job offer in Texas and wants Harper to come with her. Hal, a college senior who isn’t pointed anywhere in particular, though he likes to draw, breaks up with Abby after learning — when she tells him she’d like them to become “exclusive” — that up until then they hadn’t been. And Harper has become attracted to Audrey.
The loss of their mother and their father’s unresolved grief has made Hal and Harper unusually close; she’s a caretaker to her brother, who, even though he’s grown, sometimes wants to crawl in bed next to her; at the same time, Harper’s internalized the feeling that she’s holding everything together, which makes it hard to move on. They’re on an island together.
“Are we friends?” young Hal asks Harper.
“We’re brother and sister,” she replies.
“Not friends.”
“I guess we can be friends, too.”
There is an almost complete absence of expository dialogue. The characters are not afflicted with speechifying; silences allow the viewer to enter into the spaces between them, and to let their experience echo with one’s own. (If you’ve lived long enough to be reading television reviews, you’ve felt some or all of these things.) There’s no wall of declaration erected between the viewer and the viewed, but the actors, Reinhart and Gilpin especially, can destroy you with a look. (Although some writers and actors love them, there’s nothing that feels less true to life than a long monologue.)
Though the story feels organic, it’s also highly structured, stretching the length of Kate’s pregnancy, shot through with resonances and reflections — “I Will Survive,” sung by adult Harper at karaoke and in a flashback as part of a children’s chorus, or a precocious young Harper reading “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” “It’s about this family where everyone’s super lonely,” she tells Hal, shining a light back on her own, “but then it gets even worse because they withdraw and they became selfish and so miserable. But maybe it gets better.” (We see her often with a book.) There’s a slow-fast rhythm to the cutting; short scenes alternate with long; memories explode in montage. Just as Raiff doesn’t bother overmuch with explanations, he eliminates transitions. We’re here, then we’re there. You won’t get lost.
Once or twice, I fretted Raiff might be steering his ship to some cliched dark outcome, but I needn’t have worried.

Ladram Bay, which is part of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and sits on the Jurassic Coast, is made up of dramatic red rocks. Sadly, not everyone can visit

A secluded cove with dramatic red rocks sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — but not everyone can visit.
Unlike in Mediterranean countries such as Italy, where the vast majority of beaches are privately run and dominated by expensive-to-hire sunloungers, most of the UK coast is open to the public and completely free.
There are, however, a few exceptions — one of which is Ladram Bay, which is part of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The South West Coast Path runs directly through the resort, along the Jurassic Coast.
Like the rest of the coastline — known for its dramatic rock formations and fossil-rich terrain — Ladram Bay is a striking spot. The beach itself is guarded at each end by massive red sandstone stacks, offering protection from the sea.
The red cliffs are formed of Otter Sandstone and Mudstone, dating back to the Triassic period, around 230 million years ago. They are part of the 95-mile-long stretch of Jurassic coastline running across Dorset and East Devon.
It’s a popular fishing spot too, either from the shore or from one of the hire boats. At the far end of the beach, there are teeming rock pools to investigate. As charming as this all sounds, a visit to the bay may not be as easy as you’d expect.
The beach is owned by Ladram Bay Holiday Park, and everyone who isn’t staying at the venue is banned from accessing its pebbles. How the beach came to be in the park’s hands is explained on Ladram’s website:
“Back in the 1940s, our park was tenanted farmland that was worked by Frank William Sydenham Carter, or FWS for short. During the summer, he would occasionally let campers pitch up in a field that overlooked the bay, providing fresh milk and eggs as well. Pretty soon, FWS realised that his land could provide extra income in the lean post-World War II years, and so he began to develop a proper campsite.
“With the help of his wife, FWS grew Ladram Bay to incorporate static caravans and a shop. Come the late 1950s, the park was becoming so popular that the workload was overwhelming. To make Ladram Bay a park to be proud of, a manager and extra staff were hired. FWS carried on leading the park until his retirement in 2006, by which time we had become one of the largest privately owned holiday parks in the country.
“With FWS’s son and daughter, Robin and Zoe, now guiding the park, we are more successful than ever, with hundreds of owners and thousands of guests visiting Ladram Bay each year.”
The Mirror’s Johnny Goldsmith visited the holiday park was his family earlier this year and enjoyed having access to the spectacular beach. “The beach was just a few minutes’ walk from our sea-view caravan. Each morning we woke to wonderful views, with our own private decked area – the perfect spot to sit, soak it all in and really unwind,” he wrote.
“On our final morning the weather was clear enough to venture down to the beach once again, and on the way we stopped at the shop and bought an ice cream. Within seconds, a marauding seagull swooped down and tried to snatch one of the kids’ cones. The shop staff advised us to stay under the covered seated area to eat them as the greedy gulls are notorious for trying to steal holidaymakers’ food.
“Ice creams finished, we strode back on to the beach still laughing about our seagull encounter and talking about all the fun we’d managed to fit in over our four days. What a Jurassic lark!”

Angus Bell scored a dramatic winning try six minutes after the final hooter as Australia overturned a 21-7 half-time deficit to beat Argentina 28-24 in the Rugby Championship.
Juan Cruz Mallia had put Argentina 24-21 up with a penalty in the 79th minute but, after the Wallabies turned down three opportunities to level with their own kick, Bell went over the line.
“Full credit to the team, we could have gone for goal there and taken the draw,” said Australia captain Harry Wilson, whose side recovered from 22-5 down to beat South Africa 38-22 last month.
“Everyone believed that we could finish the job. And if boys want to win a game, we may as well back them.
“[I’m] proud of the boys, we weren’t at our best, but to find a way to get a win against such a high-quality opposition is a real credit to them.”
The Pumas had travelled to Queensland on the back of a first home win against New Zealand in their previous game.
And, despite a Nic White try for Australia, they went 21-7 up with the help of Bautista Delguy and Mateo Carreras tries, along with three penalties from Santi Carreras.
Two tries from Joseph Suaalii hauled Australia level at 21-21 before the late drama earned the hosts victory.
“It was far from a good performance,” said Pumas skipper Julian Montoya.
“Congrats to Australia, they took their opportunities. But in the second half, we gave away a lot of penalties that we can control, like offside, and then we gave them position pretty easy.”
CARLOS ALCARAZ has unveiled a radical new look for the US Open – he has shaved off all his HAIR.
The five-time Grand Slam champion rocked up at Flushing Meadows on day two.

And fans were left shocked when they spotted him on the practice courts.
The Spaniard, 22, normally has thick, black hair and certainly did when he played in the Mixed Doubles Championship.
That was last Tuesday with Emma Raducanu on the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Yet ahead of his first-round encounter with lanky American Reilly Opelka on Tuesday evening, he turned up with a fresh skinhead.
It was a surprising look that was captured by US Open cameras and footage was posted on their Instagram channel.
The former US Open champion wore a white Nike Total 90 Dri-FIT soccer jersey, which was a sleeveless top.
It is perhaps a wise choice given the heat and humidity of playing in the Big Apple at this time of the year.
Nonetheless, the decision to chop off his locks was a recent one.
That was given that a video was posted on Monday of him attending St Patrick’s cathedral off Fifth Avenue.
The world-renowned tennis player was given a blessing from a Catholic priest – and in the footage, he has a full head of hair.
Petra Kvitova’s Tearful Farewell: The Emotional End of a Grand Slam Legend
Alcaraz is one of the biggest sportsmen on the planet and will be hoping for a deep run at the last Slam of the year.
In their last four tournaments together, Alcaraz and world No.1 Jannik Sinner have met in the final.
They battled it out in Rome, Paris, Wimbledon and Cincinnati.
Assuming he has not lost his magical powers like biblical hero Samson did following a hair cut, then there is a great chance Alcaraz and Sinner could meet again in the final on Sunday September 7.

Brits looking for a postcard-perfect spot for their next holiday may want to check out the breathtaking destination that’s been proving a hit with the social media crowd
This beautiful national park needs to be on your radar(Image: Getty Images)
Brits planning their next adventures on France holidays may want to bookmark a breathtaking national park that’s home to fjords full of crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs and almost no crowds.
The Calanques National Park in France looks like something out of a storybook thanks to the turquoise waters that make up the landscape, with a range of quiet sandy and pebbled beaches lining its shores. The region can only be reached by boat or on foot, meaning that it’s a lot quieter than other French hotspots as there are smaller crowds of visitors who flock to the area.
The clear waters mean you can get a great look at what’s been described as an “underwater garden” thanks to the diverse array of plants and wildlife that reside there, including the likes of octopuses, sea breams and anemones. (Just keep an eye out for urchins!). It’s one of those beautiful areas that rivals the likes of Europe’s coolest seaside town that’s just three hours from the UK.
It’s therefore no surprise that the Calanques have become increasingly popular with the social media crowd, who have been tempted by its postcard-worthy landscapes. The good news is that it’s still relatively quiet compared to plenty of other hotspots because it’s not as easily accessible, so even with the influx of tourists it’s easy to find plenty of peaceful spots.
One of the best ways to explore the region is by boat, so you can leisurely make your way along those crystal-clear waters and take in the dramatic scenery. In fact, an increasing number of holidaymakers are opting for boat trips to explore Europe’s hidden gems.

According to recent data from SamBoat, bookings via its UK site rose by 75% last year, with most Brits opting for day trips as part of their travel plans. Of those, 89% of boats were rented without a skipper, with prices around £340 a day proving appealing for families or groups of friends wanting a memorable day out.
As for the Calanques, these remain a firm favourite with those who love to experience destinations off the beaten track. The SamBoat insiders explained: “Swap the busy city streets for sea cliffs if heading to Marseille and take a day trip to the Massif des Calanques, a dramatic stretch of limestone coves and turquoise waters nestled between Marseille and Cassis.
“Only accessible by boat or on foot, these secluded inlets offer wild swimming, snorkelling, and sunbathing far from the crowds. Hiring your own boat for the day from the Old Port is a great option, offering total flexibility for you to explore at your own pace.”
For Brits, Marseille is the best destination to visit if you’re planning to head to the Calanques. There are plenty of direct flights with the likes of easyJet and Ryanair with a flight time of just under two hours, and then it’s approximately a 35-minute drive to the national park. Alternatively you could get the Eurostar from London to Paris and then change on a train to Marseille in France, with the total journey time being around seven hours.

A pilot fainted while flying a Ryanair plane on Sunday, according to reports.
The aviator lost consciousness while in the cockpit of the budget airline’s service from Barcelona to Porto, a source from the National Institute of Medical Emergencies told Portugal Resident. At 8:19 a.m. on Sunday, August 10, the pilot suffered “a rapidly recovering syncope” and “apparently recovered during the flight,” the publication reported.
The plane was safely landed(Image: AFP via Getty Images)
An ambulance from the Moreira da Maia Fire Department and a medical vehicle, emergency vehicle (VMER) from the Pedro Hispano Hospital went to Sá Carneiro Airport to meet the plane. “The pilot received assistance on the spot, but refused to go to the hospital and stayed at the airport,” the National Institute of Medical Emergencies said, according to Portugal Resident.
Despite the medical incident, flight data show that the only Ryanair flight that arrived this Sunday morning at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport from Barcelona (Spain) was flight FR 4587, which arrived at 8:35 a.m. at Terminal 1, as it had been scheduled to do.
The Mirror put the claims to Ryanair’s press office. A spokesperson for the airline said: “Ryanair has procedures and training in place to deal with situations where a pilot becomes unwell in flight. This flight from Barcelona to Porto (10 Aug), landed safely at Porto Airport.”
Holidaymakers going to Spain this month are facing a fresh blow as new strikes have been announced affecting major airports and airlines across parts of the country. The UGT union previously stated there will be a series of strikes affecting Ryanair’s baggage handling department.
Menzies services a number of major airlines including British Airways, easyJet, Wizz Air, American Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Emirates and Norwegian. The UGT union said the strike by ground staff of the Menzies group will affect five Spanish airports, including Barcelona-El Prat, Alicante, Palma, Malaga and Tenerife South, on August 16, 17, 23, 24, 30 and 31.
England won the toss, benefitting from a shootout in front of their own fans and took the first penalty.
Up stepped Alessia Russo, the Lionesses’ trusty goal threat. Jennifer Falk dived the right way, but her powerful effort never looked like being stopped.
“Russo has left nothing on the pitch so to strike that as sweetly as she did – Falk went the right way, nowhere near it,” former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis said on BBC One.
Sweden 0-1 England (penalty two)
Hampton stood on the line, her nose bloodied from a collision in the final moments of extra time.
Filippa Angeldahl took the first kick for Sweden and sent it towards the right but Hampton got her hands to it.
“She’s done her homework,” reacted Brown-Finnis. Hampton knew exactly where to go.
Sweden 0-1 England (penalty three)
England couldn’t make the most of their advantage.
Lauren James tried to place her effort in the bottom left corner but Falk palmed it away.
Sweden 1-1 England (penalty four)
Sweden issued the perfect response. “Emphatic, beautifully struck,” said Brown-Finnis.
Julia Zigiotti Olme showed no nerves and left Hampton with no chance. Her well-struck spot-kick went into the top corner and Sweden levelled.
Sweden 1-1 England (penalty five)
Were emotions not already running high enough, England fans were soon made even more anxious.
Beth Mead went for the same place as James and faced the same result – Falk saved. “It’s a cushty height for the goalkeeper,” said Brown-Finnis.
Sweden 1-1 England (penalty six)
From a moment of agony to sudden hope.
Magdalena Eriksson had the chance to put Sweden in front. Instead, her effort bounced off the far post.
Sweden 1-1 England (penalty seven)
By this point, Falk was beginning to look like Sweden’s saviour.
Alex Greenwood sent her penalty down the middle. Falk dived, the ball hit her and it bounced back out.
Three of the Lionesses’ four penalties saved.
Sweden 2-1 England (penalty eight)
Nathalie Bjorn put Sweden on the verge of victory, beating her Chelsea team-mate Hampton.
England had to score their next.
Sweden 2-2 England (penalty nine)
Who better than the player who had netted the winning kick in each of England’s other two shootouts under Wiegman to deliver when needed?
Chloe Kelly produced her trademark run-up, with a hop and a skip before firing past Falk.
“What a night she is having,” said BBC commentator Robyn Cowen.
Kelly had delivered the assist for England’s first goal, then the vital cross which led to their second. Now, she’d kept their hopes of a shootout victory alive.
Sweden 2-2 England (penalty 10)
Stepping up to take Sweden’s fifth penalty, to put them into the semi-finals, was none other than keeper Falk.
She had already saved three, taking one as well was “just being greedy,” said Brown-Finnis.
The Sweden goalkeeper could not produce another moment of jubilation for the her supporters and skied her kick over the bar.
Sweden 2-2 England (penalty 11)
Surely, after yet another miss, England would respond?
Not this time. Grace Clinton’s weak effort rolled to the left which Falk easily saved.
By this point, it looked like the shootout might never end. “I can’t believe how many penalties we’ve missed,” said Brown-Finnis.
Sweden 2-2 England (penalty 12)
Sweden once again had the opportunity to win the match. Sofia Jakobsson placed the ball on the spot with just four of the 12 penalties before her having been scored.
She also went to the left, but Hampton tipped it onto the post with her outstretched hand.
“These are cats with nine lives, the Lionesses,” Brown-Finnis said.
Sweden 2-3 England (penalty 13)
England’s most decorated player stepped up for the big moment.
Bronze had no intention of wasting her chance and delivered the perfect penalty, thrashing it down the middle as Falk dived to the right.
The Lionesses have talked throughout this tournament about producing “proper English” performances – and Bronze’s penalty was an “old school Stuart Pearce type” of kick, said Brown-Finnis.
She added: “Full of passion, full of heart, no nonsense penalty right into the roof of the net. Great strike, great player, great time.”
Sweden 2-3 England (Smilla Holmberg misses, England win)
Sweden had to score to keep their hopes alive. The job fell to 18-year-old Smilla Holmberg to try to level.
Holmberg didn’t even hit the target. She sent her strike soaring over the crossbar. The English players ran off in celebration.
Unsurprisingly, Love Island’s Movie Night caused quite the stir in the villa, with the big screen’s revelations causing Helena Ford to confront Harry once again – leaving viewers fuming
Harry enraged Love Island fans(Image: ITV/Shutterstock)
Love Island fans were left raging after Sunday night’s episode, after one contestant’s “manipulative” behaviour got too much to take. Harry Cooksley, 30, had rubbed viewers up the wrong way with his popcorn-eating, leaving them feeling ill.
The ITV show’s ever-dramatic Movie Night left islanders reeling after they saw clips of incriminating conversations projected on the big screen for all to see. But it was Harry who left them all fuming, with his partner on the show, Helena Ford, confronting him about his actions.
She told him: “I’m getting fed up with this ‘I only do it to Helena because she lets me get away with it’… you’re making me look stupid again! Literally every person that comes into the Villa says, ‘you let Harry walk all over you.'”
Despite previously breaking up and recoupling, Harry went on to deny intentionally upsetting Helena. But Sunday night’s episode saw viewers take issue with the way he continued to eat leftover popcorn while she was trying to speak to him.
Harry was slammed by fuming Love Island fans(Image: ITV/Love Island)
Shakira, who was speaking with Toni, said that watching him eat was making her feel sick. Fans agreed, taking to social media to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “There’s no way I’m trying to have a serious conversation with a man and he’s answering with a mouthful of popcorn not even looking at omg.” Another commented: “Oh my days, Shakira is so right, Harry is making me feel sick too cause WHY IS HE EATING LIKE THAT IS HE FIVE?”
A third fan echoed: “I hate the way Harry ate his popcorn during that conversation with Helena; he doesn’t take anything seriously.” Someone else typed: “I would have f****** thrown that popcorn over Harry if he was eating like that when I was trying to have a serious conversation with him.”
Harry and Helena have even got under Maya Jama’s skin(Image: ITV)
Even Maya Jama had something to say after Harry had been up to his old tricks in Casa Amor. Shortly after she was reunited with Harry, Helena was introduced to dumped islander Rheo Parnell, who had grown close to Harry in Casa Amor. Rheo said: “I don’t think I need to explain what he may have been up to over there. Harry strikes again!”
Helena asked: “How bad are we talking?” Rheo replied: “Well, I mean there were kisses in bed. There was like … cuddles.” Amid discussion about his latest antics, Harry said that he had been “exploring the connection” whilst in the other villa.
Andrada Pop added: “I did ask Harry did he miss Helena and he said he didn’t.” Helena reacted: “To be fair, I think I did say I didn’t miss Harry on the first day either.” Helena and Harry were then seen laughing together over the situation.
Rheo said: “Fair enough.” Love Island host Maya then shared her thoughts, saying: “I don’t know. I probably wouldn’t find it that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that but…”
Jamie Rhodes said: “Yeah, I can’t lie, this is like repeated behaviour. Like you gotta wake up at some point.” After confirming he was talking to Helena, he added: “Personally, I think you deserve more respect.”
Maya – who also confronted Ben Holbrough in the episode over a comment that he made in another scene – said: “Helena, you laugh quite a lot when he’s been doing things. Is that to avoid upset or are you genuinely not bothered?”
Watch match point as Rinky Hijikata and David Pel come from a set down to beat first seed Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic 6-7 (2-7), 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (11-9) and reach the men’s double final at Wimbledon 2025.
The race started on a wet track after a soaking wet morning, but with the sun out and more rain heading towards Silverstone.
Verstappen held the lead through a brief challenge from Piastri off the line but he could not shake the McLarens, and Piastri was soon challenging him hard for the lead.
Before he could try a move, though, a virtual safety car was deployed after Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto crashed at Turn Two on lap four.
The race was restarted on lap seven, and Piastri was past Verstappen on the Hangar Straight before two laps were over, building a 2.9-second lead after just one lap.
It was then Norris’ turn to challenge the Red Bull, but Verstappen gifted him the position when he slid off at Becketts on lap 11, just as heavy rain started.
That brought the drivers into the pits for fresh intermediates. By then, Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll had gained time by an earlier change to soft tyres when the track was drying and emerged in fourth place, with Hulkenberg in fifth after stopping for inters on lap 10, so benefiting when others had to drive on a wet track on slick tyres and then pit.
The rain became heavier and a safety car was deployed on lap 14. The race restarted on lap 18, but a second safety car was sent out within a lap after Racing Bulls’ Isack Hadjar ran into the back of Kimi Antonelli’s Mercedes at Copse because he could not see him in the spray.
When the race restarted for the last time on lap 22, with Verstappen spinning from second down to 10th, Piastri started to try to build a lead but he was not able to get more than four seconds ahead before Norris came back at him – he was less than two seconds back by the time Piastri pitted to serve his penalty with nine laps to go.
Stroll was unable to hold on to his third place, soon being passed by Hulkenberg and then Hamilton and eventually dropping down to seventh place.
Behind Verstappen, Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, who was fifth at the restart, lost places to Hamilton and the Dutchman but was able to secure sixth place.
Williams’ Alex Albon was eighth, ahead of Fernando Alonso, who was frustrated by his team’s strategy costing him places in the topsy-turvy early part of the race, and then pitted a couple of laps too early for slick tyres as the track dried in the closing stages.
That dropped him to last, but he recovered to take ninth, ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell, who also stopped early for slicks for the final time.
June 27 (UPI) — The Standard & Poor’s 500 and Nasdaq Composite on Friday rose to record highs nearly three months after plunging to bearish stock prices amid tariff wars.
The S&P finished at 6,173, an increase of 32.05, or 0.52% at the close of trading at 4 p.m. EDT. The previous all-time high closing price was 6,144 on Feb. 19. The index dropped to 4,982.77 on April 8, six days after Donald Trump announced trading tariffs on virtually all U.S. trading partners. That low point was 19% off the record with a bear market considered to be 20%.
Tech-heavy Nasdaq finished at 20,273, a rise of 105.55, or .52%. The last all-time high was 20,173.89 on Dec. 16. The year’s low was April 8 at 15,267, a decline of 24.5% from the record.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day at 43,819.27, a rise of 431.43 or 1%. DJIA hit a record of 45,014.04 on Dec. 4 and was down to 37,645.59 on April 8. The high this year was 44,882.13 on Jan. 30th, 10 days after Donald Trump became president.
All but two of CNBC’s 11 sectors declined. Energy dropped 0.5% and health 0.17%. The biggest increases were consumer discretionary at 1.78% and communications services at 1.55%.
Stocks had been trading higher Friday until Trump posted on Truth Social that trade talks with Canada were terminated.
“We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country,” Trump posted.
“Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately,” he said. “We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period.”
The United States has imposed a 25% tariff on non-compliant Canadian goods, including vehicles, with energy products subject to a 10% tariff. Also, Canada was hit by the 50% tariff on steel and aluminum imports like other nations. Canada has retaliated with its own tariffs.
Products involved in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement are exempted.
Investors were buoyed after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said a trade framework with China had been finalized. At one time, Trump imposed a 134% tariff but it has since been cut to $30.
Lutnick said he expects deals with 10 trading partners soon.
On “Liberation Day” on April 2, Trump said he would impose a baseline 10% tariffs on most trading partners and stiffer ones for big violators. A week later, he paused them until July 7 and that date might be extended.
“I can see where the risks are here — if the trade [progress] is just hype from the White House and no deals are really forthcoming, then this market is going to roll over,” Thierry Wizman, global FX and rates strategist at Macquarie Group, told CNBS. “Ultimately, this all comes back to growth in the U.S. economy and growth of earnings.”
“We think the recovery makes sense, considering that most large-cap companies should weather the tariffs reasonably well,” David Lefkowitz, head of U.S. equities at UBS Global Wealth Management, told investors in a note. “In fact, we think the upcoming [second-quarter] earnings season will once again highlight the resilience of corporate profits.”
Vital Knowledge analyst Adam Crisafulli sees possibly bumpy times.
“We think there’s a dangerous amount of complacency on trade/tariffs, a view underscored by the fact markets this morning are celebrating the China ‘deal’ for a third time,” Crisafulli said in a report.
The records come days after Trump brokered a cease-fire between Israel and Iran.
Oil prices surged before the U.S. bombed three nuclear targets in Iran. West Test Intermediate crude climbed to $74.14 a barrel after being as low as $57.13 on May 13. On Friday, crude oil settled at 65.07, up 17 cents from the day before.
One year ago, it reached nearly $84.
The average price for unleaded gas in the United States is $3.207, a penny down from last week and $3.503 one year ago, according to AAA.
Investors are also pleased with good economic data.
Inflation rose 2.4% in May over one year.
The unemployment rate 4.2% and has been at this level since May 2024.
The Federal Reserve has not raised interest rates since Dec. 18. The Federal Funds Rate is 4.25% to 4.50%.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has described a “wait-and-see” approach to interest rate adjustments, describing the need for more data. The next meeting is July 29 and 30.

Shakira, 22, gushed over the footballer as she said: “He boils my blood. He’s hilarious, witty, charming and funny. And he’s not bad looking.
“So the boy I would like to couple up with is… Harry.”
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans went wild after spotting the move.
One joked, “Not Helena moving away from harry,” with a laughing emoji, while someone else said: “Helena moving away from Harry is just so…. #LoveIsland.”
A third chimed in with: “Shakira picked harry wow the face on helena.”
While a fourth pointed out: “how’s helena upset that harry’s moved on when she said they’re done?”
Harry, 30, was previously seen sobbing as he appeared to backtrack on his behaviour towards Helena.
The ITV2 star caused shockwaves in the villa last week when he split with his day one partner – before he attempted to pursue a third different romantic connection in the compound just hours later.
Love Island’s Harry reveals surprising encounter with A-list actress, boasting ‘I think I had a chance’
In scenes aired on last night’s Aftersun, Harry appeared to have huge regret on calling time on his connection with Helena.
A video shows him in tears as he sat with Dejon, who said if he could have it his way he would see the pair together.
Semi pro footballer Harry, with tears in his eyes, replied: “Yeah. Like, we just have nothing. Do you know what I mean?”
He then paused to dab his face and added: “Where it’s just like, we were good and then it’s just like she can’t even be around me.
“Geez. It’s just weird man.

“Like it’ll never be the same now after the way I’ve acted, do you know what I mean?”
The official Love Island account on X posted the caption: “The consequences of Harry’s antics hit home.”
Yet many thought he was having a taste of his own medicine following his lothario conduct.
One fan was quick to write: “Crying as if all of this wasn’t his own doing. Men lack accountability fr.”
A second posted: “If it isn’t the consequences of your own actions….”
A third noted: “He’s realised he’s exhausted all his options that man does not want to be with Helena,” while one agreed and put: “And tomorrow he’ll want Emily we can’t predict his next move.”
One then mused: “Some self reflection is always good.”

The final nail in the coffin for Helena and Harry came after his kiss with Yasmin.
EastEnders fans were left gutted when it was announced Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) would be leaving the show – and next weeks spoilers have teased a possible exit storyline

Last month, it was revealed that Clair Norris would be leaving EastEnders after playing the role of Bernie Taylor for eight years. Now, in spoilers for next week, the soap appears to have teased the star’s upcoming exit storyline.
Bernie arrived in Walford in 2017 alongside mum Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) and late brother Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters).
However, she’s the last one of her family members left on the Square with her mum Karen leaving EastEnders in 2023, shortly followed by the murder of her brother Keanu on Christmas Day.
Lately, fans have noticed a lack of the character on their screens, but spoilers for next week reveal a huge storyline for the star – which could be teasing towards her exit.

We’re revisiting The Six storyline once again at the start of the week. It starts when Bernie’s cousin Felix wants him to give Johnny her seal of approval, unaware that he helped cover up Keanu’s murder.
Denise then fears that if Johnny doesn’t win Bernie over, it could bring the past back to haunt them all.
However, that’s not Bernie’s only problem – as she’s tied up with the Panesars. Vicki notices some unusual invoices, although Bernie dismisses her concerns. However, Bernie isn’t getting away with things too quickly, as she’s later confronted by Ravi and Suki about the irregularities.
We know Bernie will be making her exit from the soap soon – but could next week’s dramatic storylines be leading to her departure?

Following Bernie’s exit, an EastEnders spokesperson said: “We can confirm that Clair will be leaving EastEnders later this year and we wish her all the best for the future.” Clair remained silent on her departure for a couple of weeks, until she attended the British Soap Awards at the end of last month.
Taking to her Instagram to post a picture of herself all glammed up in a teal dress on the night, Clair penned: “My last @thebritishsoapawards with my EE family. We [broom emoji] up last night, 8 awards & I couldn’t be prouder to be apart of this team! What a way to end this amazing journey, head held high & beaming from ear to ear.”
Clair was supported by both fans as colleagues in her post, with James Farrar, who plays Zack Hudson writing: “Head held HIGH,” along with a number of red heart emojis.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
JUST 18 months ago she was flashing her diamond engagement ring on a sun-soaked holiday in Mauritius, toasting a future with the man she called her ‘King’.
But today Lioness Millie Bright is sporting a very different ring on her finger, with her life having seemingly been upended in the space of a week.

It began with her shock withdrawal from the Euro 2025 squad due to not being able to “give 100 per cent mentally or physically” – a decision she admitted was “one of the hardest I’ve ever had to make”.
She’s also been spotted with a new diamond ring on her little finger – though there’s no suggestion it’s an engagement ring.
Meanwhile all mentions of Levi have been swiftly deleted from Chelsea captain Millie’s social media accounts, including that Christmas Day engagement post.
But people who know Millie, 31, are not remotely surprised by this single-minded determination to do what’s right for her.
“Millie is not the type of woman to be troubled by self doubt or regret,” said a source, adding that she makes tough decisions, and sticks to them.
An onlooker said: “Millie’s had a chaotic few weeks with news of her split and pulling out of the England squad. But she’s as tough in real life as she is on the pitch.”
It’s arguably this ruthless, resilient mentality that has got Millie so far in life – going from earning £25 a week in a Yorkshire pit village to a historic victory in the 2022 Euros, leading the women’s national team to the 2023 World Cup final, winning 19 trophies with Chelsea and living in a Surrey mansion worthy of glossy magazine spreads.
Up until recently she shared this immaculate home with Levi, whom she was so devoted to that she proudly displayed a tattoo of his eye on her left arm, along with a tiger because “he gave her core strength through thick and thin”.

She raved about her “perfect kitchen” after it was fitted by high end designers Howdens to include a bespoke pet space under the breakfast bar for her beloved French bulldogs Zeus and Hera, named after Greek gods.
And the garden boasts an Explore ice bath which she uses for her post game ritual.
Millie is thought to have met heavily inked former pro kickboxer and martial arts enthusiast Dave in February.
She joined 21st Century Combat, the gym he co-owns with his wife Katie close to her Surrey mansion, and signed up to his gruelling exercise classes.
There is no suggestion that Millie or Dave cheated on their partners.
Eyes on the prize

From an early age, Millie always had her eyes firmly fixed on the prize.
Growing up among the Derbyshire collieries, little Millie’s childhood was quite idyllic.
She first sat on a horse when she was one, and was riding by the age of three – insisting that horses were her “life rather than a hobby”.
Determined and dedicated, Millie would rise early and be out working in her family’s stable yard by 6am most mornings before school, rain or shine.
She competed every weekend, and the owl Millie has tattooed on her arm is a likeness of the one that flew back to her parents barn every year.
But suddenly, at the age of nine, she decided to sacrifice it all after stumbling across football by accident.

Bored while watching a friend train one morning at her local club, Killamarsh Dynamos, she decided to join in the session.
That was the moment everything changed, and from then on Millie’s life revolved around the Dynamos.
Millie was such a key player that the club would later name their pitches after her.
Inevitably she outgrew the Dynamos and a few years later – dressed as one of the mustachioed runners from the 118 118 directory enquiries service for a charity run – she seized the opportunity to introduce herself to Paul Green, then manager of Doncaster Belles.
He recalled that her handshake was so strong that day it took him aback.
Unable to refuse her, her contract was quickly a done deal.
‘Diamond in the rough’

Another former Doncaster manager, John Buckley, remembers Millie as a diamond in the rough.
“From the minute she came in she was totally involved, a cracking girl,” he said.
Back then women’s football was not the big business it is today, and her wages were just £25 a week.
Undeterred, Millie juggled two part time jobs – working as a fitness instructor and a horse groom at Esberger’s Yard in Todwick – to supplement her meagre income.
In 2019 she recalled in an interview with the BBC how an ankle injury at that time not only robbed her of her earnings from football, but left her claiming benefits because she could not work her two other jobs either.

Ever supportive, her parents Nicola and Steve forked out for private surgery and the club paid for her rehabilitation.
“She was always so driven and eventually, she knew what she wanted to do – which was to play professional football,” said Sheila Edmunds, the president of the Doncaster Rovers Belles.
A family friend added: “It was always blood, sweat and tears with Millie, she would play until her entire body hurt.”
As her football career grew more demanding in her teens, Millie was forced to make another tough choice.
She had to abandon the stables for good – and now Millie is barred from horse riding at all by her insurers.
After that of course Millie soared to greater heights and spells in midfield meant she was a direct opponent of England legend Jill Scott, then at Everton.
In one press conference Scott said: “The girl I played against tonight, that young girl – she’s the most aggressive player I’ve ever played against.”
Millie’s mum and dad were in the stands at every game, along with her no-nonsense grandparents Margaret and Arthur.
Arthur Bramall, a tough former coal miner who spent his career at the Rossington colliery in Doncaster, is the person Millie relies on the most for honest feedback about her performance on the pitch.
Bitter blow

Her decision to withdraw from the Euro 2025 squad as they began preparations for the tournament in Switzerland next month was a bitter blow for fans.
Millie admitted: “The demands of it are incredibly high and I would see it as a little bit selfish to take up an opportunity in a position from somebody else when I’m not 100 per cent there.
“It wasn’t an easy decision. I gave it a lot of thought.
“But ultimately, I thought this was the best decision for the team, but also for myself and using this summer to really just zone into mentally, physically, getting myself back in tip-top condition and just happy again, all round, just feeling like myself. It’s obviously hard.”
Fans have rallied to support Millie on social media, as have her teammates, with Arsenal striker Chloe Kelly writing: “Proud of you always”.
Aston Villa‘s Rachel Daly posted: “Couldn’t be more proud. With you through everything my girl,” and a message on the official Lionesses account read: “We’re all with you, Millie.”
England manager Sarina Wiegman said: “She has to take care of herself. We will stay in contact and I hope she feels better soon.”
While she’ll no doubt find it difficult watching her team play on without her, Millie’s new love certainly provides a big shoulder to cry on.
