John Cena certainly made an impression at the Oscars ON Sunday.

The 46-year-old Argylle star appeared to be wearing only his birthday suit as he walked onto the stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles to present the award for best costume design.

The wrestler turned actor carried a large manila envelope with “Costume Design” written on it as he approached the microphone, showing off his six-pack abs and strong legs.

His feet were covered with brown sandals.

As naked as he looked, there were safeguards in place to keep his R-rated appearance from becoming NC-17.

John Cena, 46, certainly made an impression when he appeared naked on stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles to present the award for Best Costume Design at the Academy Awards ceremony Sunday, 2024

Behind-the-scenes photos show that the Freelance star was actually wearing a flesh-colored covering over his genitals and buttocks.

As part of the schtick, the WWE Smackdown was later covered in a gold toga.

Host Jimmy Kimmel introduced the piece by saying that at the 1974 Academy Awards, a man shot across the stage as actor David Niven was about to introduce Elizabeth Taylor.

Cena was supposed to recreate Moment on his 50th birthday, but declined, saying, “I just don’t feel right about it.” It’s an elegant event, you know, you should be ashamed of yourself right now for proposing such a tasteless idea.”

After some back and forth, Kimmel said, “Okay, then hand out the prize.”

At that moment, the Barbie actor side stepped to the center of the stage, to the sounds of loud laughter throughout the theater, and then slowly approached the microphone.

‘Costumes – they’re so important – maybe the most important thing there is’, before the winner was announced was Poor Things costume designer Holly Waddington.

The wrestler-turned-actor was called out by host Jimmy Kimmel, who referenced the 50th anniversary of a streaker who ran on stage during the ceremony and interrupted the late actor-host David Niven.

On Cena’s Instagram page, next to a post with a sign reading “Bottom of the Rock,” a fan said, “I love you John Cena but I feel like you’ve hit rock bottom with that humiliation ritual, they make you wear a dress and get naked on stage, what the hell is that about?’

Another stated: “It seems pretty clear to me that some powerful people are blackmailing you.”

‘How much is your soul worth to you, sir? Smh,” one follower wondered.

Although the audience laughed, things didn't go so well at home.  This person also thought it was strange and wrote: 'LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.'  Other fans called it part of a 'humiliation ritual'

Cena’s ex-fiancée, Nikki Bella, who now goes by her birth name Nikki Garcia, 40, was in the audience.

“She must be cringing,” one fan wrote on social media, while another snapped: “I’m sure it was a reminder of why she dumped him.”

The Barmageddon star, who split from Cena in 2018, looked stunning in a plunging gold dress with her black hair in a long bob. Nikki has been married to Dancing with the Stars coach Artem Chigvintsev since 2022.

Cena married Shay Shariatzadeh in 2020.

The former queen of Denmark has won a prestigious award for her costume and set design for a Danish Netflix film, just weeks after her abdication.

Margrethe, who shocked royal watchers when she announced her unexpected abdication on December 31, announced her award on Instagram.

She worked on the Netflix film Ehrengard – The Art of Seduction, for which she received a Robert Award as costume designer of the year.

On Instagram, the royal family wrote: 'I am deeply grateful, moved and proud of the recognition that the Robert Award represents.

'Receiving an award given by the industry itself makes me extremely happy, and it was a great joy and pleasure to be able to contribute to the expression of the film.

'I would like to thank the whole team behind the film, but especially everyone who turned my ideas, sketches and drawings into reality – not least the talented people who sewed and worked with the many costumes.'

Many are unaware of the former monarch's creative talents, but as a child she dreamed of becoming an artist.

According to the Royal website: 'Princess Margrethe started attending the Royal Theater with her parents at an early age, where she attended August Bournonville's ballet Napoli in 1948, which made a deep impression on the princess.'

According to Danish law, only men were allowed to ascend the throne until she was thirteen. But when the constitution was changed to allow women to rule, Margrethe became the heir presumptive, changing the course of her life and becoming queen in 1972.

However, she continued to work on her drawings and other works of art until about the age of twenty.

After studying a degree in prehistoric archeology at the University of Cambridge, as well as Aarhus University in Denmark, the Sorbonne and the London School of Economics, she was inspired to take up art again after reading JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

According to the Danish royal family: 'As an adult, The Queen herself became involved in ballet as a set designer and costume designer.

'From the mid-eighties and thirties, The Queen helped with the annual ballet performances at a friend's dance school in Næstved, where the grand piano sets and costumes were conjured up with enormous imagination from the available materials. Very special were the numerous paper hats at the performances, which The Queen herself devised and made.'

After working on amateur productions, Margrethe turned more professionally, after being approached by Danmarks Radio's TV theater, which approached 'The Queen in 1987 and persuaded her to help as a set designer and costume designer for a TV production of HC Andersen's fairy tale. The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep'.

For an ambitious new production of August Bournonville's ballet A Folk Tale, at the Royal Theater in 1990, the then Queen designed the scenography and many costumes.

The Royal Theater followed in 1990 with an ambitious new production of August Bournonville's ballet A Folk Tale, for which The Queen designed the scenography and many costumes.

Around 2000, Margethe joined Tivoli's Pantomime Theater.

Her goal was to “revive the theater's small ballets, which are performed free of charge for amusement park visitors.”

Her first performance as a set designer and costume designer was the HC Andersen-inspired ballet Love in the Dustbin in 2001.

“Since then, ballets based on several of the author's fairy tales have been published, including Thumbelina, The Tinder Box, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Swineherd and The Snow Queen, as well as The Nutcracker and Cinderella,” her biography says.

According to Netflix: 'In the fairytale kingdom of Babenhausen, a young, self-proclaimed love expert, Mr. Cazotte (Mikkel Boe Følsgaard), is hired by the scheming Grand Duchess (Sidse Barbett Knudsen) to help her secure an heir.

While searching for a suitable future princess, Mr. Cazotte teaches the timid and introverted Crown Prince Lothar (Emil Aron Dorph) the art of seduction and lovemaking.

'But their plan soon fails when an illegitimate heir is conceived and the royal family is forced to take refuge in Rosenbad Castle. Here, as rivals within the royal family move toward their plan, Cazotte himself falls in love with Ehrengard (Alice Esther Bier Zandén), the bridesmaid, and gradually discovers that he is, in fact, no expert on love at all.”

Speaking about her role in the design department when the project was announced, Margrethe said she was “very happy” to be part of this project.

Praising the author, she described the work as “aesthetic” and revealed: “I have tried to interpret Blixen's fantastic universe in the creation of the découpages and costumes and I look forward to seeing Ehrengard's story come to life in this film.”

Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction is now streaming on Netflix in Denmark.

Rhian Sugden hit back at trolls after sharing a photo in a racy festive costume on Sunday.

The glamor model, 37, is expecting her first child with her husband, actor Oliver Mellor, 42, and has spent around £150,000 on eight rounds of IVF treatment.

And showing off her blossoming bump on Instagram, the TV personality stunned in a raunchy outfit that showed off her ample assets as she cradled her bump for the sexy photo.

She captioned the image: “Festive AF. Food baby and baby baby.. the most satisfied Christmas I’ve ever had! I had to keep up my tradition of an annual sexy Santa outfit. Just like you fit in.’

She continued, “I know this time of year can be hard for a lot of people, whoever you are and wherever you are, I just wanted to wish you lots of love this Christmas! ❤

Still, one follower was quick to respond when they noted, “One photo was enough… we don’t need the daily commute… congratulations,” prompting Rhian to shoot back, “@tjbox1987 it’s Instagram babe.” People post photos. If you don’t want to see it, click that little unfollow button x’

Rhian, who doesn’t shy away from showing off her body on social media, also stunned in a lacy green lingerie set on Saturday.

Meanwhile, she added a touch of elegance to her grid when she posted a sweet photo as she posed in a stunning maxi dress during a festive dinner in Windsor.

It comes after Rhian revealed she has been having a private scan every week because it ‘still doesn’t feel real’ that she is 18 weeks pregnant.

Rhian appeared on Wednesday’s episode of Steph’s Packed Lunch in the studio, while Oliver joined from home to talk to Steph McGovern about their long struggle to have a baby.

Rhian said: ‘I don’t know how I feel to be honest, it still doesn’t feel real. After believing for a long time that it wouldn’t happen, it finally happened. I’m just really overwhelmed by it right now.

‘I have scans every week because there’s a local clinic, so I keep popping in to check everything is still OK and if it’s still there.

‘We’ve always known it [having children] was planned and you actually expect to become pregnant. You get married and then you try to have children, and then it just happens.

“All those years before you tried not to get pregnant, and when it comes down to it, it just doesn’t happen. So we went for the tests. Oliver was told he had donor worthy sperm and it was me who had the problem, I was in perimenopause.

‘I had no idea because my periods were regular so I had no idea anything could be so wrong.’

The couple, who are expecting their child on May 4, admitted that they sometimes feared they would never be able to get pregnant.

Rhian struggled to conceive due to her low egg count and perimenopausal hormone levels, and was only given a three percent chance of conceiving naturally.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star spoke about her ‘tough’ battle with her IVF treatment and explained how she discovered the happy news the day she planned to give it up.

She added: ‘The first round was NHS, it wasn’t very tailored to me. The first round was tough, just like the first four. After the first four, five, sixth and seventh, it was just part of our lives then. It just became second nature to get up, inject, take tablets.

‘It’s like PMS times 100, so poor Oliver had a lot to deal with. It’s a little blurry at first because like I said, I’m just used to it. Maybe I’m used to keeping all the hormones inside.

‘Number eight was my last. You put everything aside for it. It was like throwing money on the street. We spent a fortune.

‘I was convinced it wasn’t working and I just wanted to have a drink, so I went and took a pregnancy test. I didn’t think it would be positive because all I wanted was a glass of wine in the evening and then it was positive.”

Oliver added: “There’s no denying it’s been very difficult for both of us. Rhian is putting on a bit of a brave face, I think. The emotional trauma has been heavy.

“I felt terrible because I felt like I was hurting her because I had to do this every day, and it just became routine. The emotional side of it, I think we’ve just become numb to it.”

Rhian and Oliver, who married in 2018, announced earlier this month that they are expecting their first child together.

Share the news with Hello! magazine’s Rhian said: ‘We’re over the moon, our lives are going to change so much, which is really exciting.’

The Coronation Street star added: ‘I can’t wait for the baby to be born, I’ll be pumping my fist in the air and shouting: ‘I’m a dad!’

She announced her decision to begin the in vitro fertilization process in 2019 after doctors told her she has an egg count from someone at least 13 years older.

Miss Universe Australia has taken to the stage for the national costume portion of the global pageant amid ongoing controversy over her property developer parents owing tens of millions of dollars linked to failed businesses. 

Moraya Wilson, 21, stepped out in a pastel-hued gown by Perth designer Emma Daley titled Wild Beauty, inspired by Australia’s native wildflowers.

The gown was a subdued choice compared with some of the others being shown off in El Salvador on the weekend. 

Her entry into the pageant has sparked controversy back home linked to her parents’ business dealings. Her father, Anton Wilson, ran multiple companies which collapsed owing creditors more than $45million.

Anton was banned by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) from managing corporations until 2027 and his ex-wife Melinda Wilson disqualified from managing corporations for five years, with debts of $39million.

Ms Wilson herself was alleged to be a director of 10 companies which owed thousands of dollars in tax as of September 2 – a day after winning the Australian crown in Melbourne, though she has denied any knowledge of, or involvement in, the businesses.

The controversy has even spread to Victoria’s Parliament with shadow transport minister and former opposition leader Matthew Guy calling on ASIC to reopen investigations into her parents.

During his statement to the state’s parliament, Mr Guy said that a number of his constituents had contacted his office concerned about the ‘actions of Mr and Ms Wilson’.

‘I do note that there is a lot of money in this issue that is owed and has been at play, and many Victorians have been financially hurt and seek rightful redress,’ Mr Guy said.

‘It is not right that a number of companies linked to these individuals continue to operate while tens of millions of dollars in unpaid debts remains outstanding,’ Mr Guy said.

Victoria's shadow transport minister, Matthew Guy (pictured), called on the state's assistant treasure to contact his federal counterpart to promptly investigate the business dealings of Anton and Mellissa

The MP alleged that ASIC had previously investigated the couple but the inquiries had been ‘bizarrely’ concluded ‘with no serious attempt to seek financial redress or assist those who are seeking to obtain justice’.

‘How can it be that our federal regulatory authorities cannot commence or reopen investigations into people who owe so much money to so many?’ Mr Guy asked.

Mr Guy requested the state assistant treasurer to contact his federal counterpart, Stephen Jones, to ‘reopen an investigation’ into Mr and Ms Wilson. 

He also called on Victorian Premier, Jacinta Allan, to put her support behind an investigation promptly for the sake of ‘Victorians involved who have been financially hurt’.

Daily Mail Australia has approached Moraya Wilson for comment.

For now, at least, Ms Wilson parents’ troubles will take a back seat as she focuses on her performance at the Miss Universe pageant.

The winner will receive a reported $250,000 in prizemoney along with a six figure salary and a rent-free New York apartment for one year.

This year’s event is the first Miss Universe – considered one of the ‘big four’ global beauty pageants along with Miss World, Miss International and Miss Earth – to ever allow married women and mothers to take part.

Other contestants stepped out in extravagant, sometimes eccentric, bejewelled ensembles for the costume show – with everything from an Oxford English Dictionary to tulips, trains and even airplanes, on display.

An array of animals such as butterflies, goats and birds graced the stage in an explosion of colour – and one entry even dressed as a cobbled street.

The final of the 72nd Miss Universe pageant will take place on Saturday, with the person coming out on top crowned by last year’s winner, USA’s R’Bonney Nola Gabriel.

After updating its eligibility rules last year, married women and mothers are allowed to compete in Miss Universe for the very first time – held at José Adolfo Pineda Arena, San Salvador.

For the last 70 years, the pageant was only available to women who had never been married or had children, but now, both mothers and married women can enter the pageant. 

‘We all believe that women should have agency over their lives and that a human’s personal decisions should not be a barrier to their success,’ an internal memo obtained by The National said.

Josh Yugen, the national director of Miss Universe told The National: ‘The Miss Universe Organization is always the greatest and most innovative platform of its kind and now it will be more inclusive and welcoming to mothers and married women. 

‘For me, this is aligned with what I have been fighting for — breaking stereotypes and unlearning the stigma that the old society has forced on us from many many decades ago.’

The beginning of the competition comes just days after it was announced the company behind the Miss Universe pageant sensationally filed for bankruptcy.

Anne Jakrajutatip acquired the event for $20 million in 2022 from IMG Media, adding it to the portfolio of JKN Global Group. Between 1996 and 2015, the Miss Universe Pageant was part of Donald Trump’s business empire.  

The bankruptcy comes after the company missed out on fulfilling a $12 million loan repayment. Despite the setback, JKN was bullish and maintained that the event would go ahead as planned. 

Back in 2015, Trump was forced into selling the pageant after TV companies refused to deal with the then-presidential candidate over his racist remarks while on the campaign trail. 

Around this time, one former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, said that Trump called her Miss Piggy after she gained weight after winning the contest in 1996.

The final season of The Crown will be released in two parts, with the first releasing on November 16 and the second on December 14.

While the royal drama is no stranger to controversy, the sixth series is likely to feature some of its most controversial moments.

One of the events documented in the drama is the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997.

Although it has been reported that the fatal crash will not be shown on camera, the episodes will build up to the death of the royal family in the first episode of the season.

Sidonie Roberts, costume designer and head buyer for The Crown, spoke to the Telegraph about dressing actor Elizabeth Debicki in her final episodes, capturing the real-life royal’s iconic style in the drama.

Actor Elizabeth Debicki is caught filming series six of The Crown. The swimsuit she is wearing is a perfect replica of the swimsuit worn by Diana, Princess of Wales during her 1997 Mediterranean cruise with Dodi Al Fayed

According to the drama's costume designer, the gown was

In real life, the dress (pictured) was originally made for the princess for a visit to Chicago, but was only worn during a visit to Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow.

Another piece that Sidonie Roberts, The Crown’s costume designer and head buyer, mentioned was this red Catherine Walker dress.

While looking at the season six costumes for the character, Sidonie noticed how little clothing populated the rail.

This realization, she said, made it “really clear how her life is being cut short,” labeling the moment a “powerful realization.”

During her last summer, the princess famously cruised the Mediterranean with Dodi Al Fayed, vacationing in the south of France with him and her sons William and Harry.

According to Sidonie, this is where one of the princess’s most iconic swimsuit looks comes into play: an animal print halterneck swimsuit made by Israeli swimwear company Gottex.

The company created the piece for the royal drama before re-releasing it for other customers to buy.

Sidonie told the Telegraph that at some point the group is hounded by the press, prompting her to don the high-profile piece and offer the press some images in exchange for privacy, “because William is really struggling.”

The costume designer and buyer added, “In these moments she is very aware of the motive and the agenda, what this costume will say and the power she has with the media and her fashion.”

Another of the princess’s most famous pieces also features in the program: the turquoise swimsuit she wore while sitting at the end of the passerelle on Al-Fayeds’ yacht in the Mediterranean.

The famous scene, recreated in the show's final season, recreated the royal family's outfit almost exactly

The outfit worn by Diana, Princess of Wales on a visit to Angola, where she walked across a landmine minefield cleared by a charity called Halo, was reproduced almost exactly

This piece was recreated by the costume team and retailed for £200.

Some of the clothing items worn by the characters in the drama will be inspired by the costume department. Some of these, Sidonie revealed, were picked up during a 3am shopping session on eBay.

However, the series includes many more that are directly based on pieces worn by the princess.

One of these shown during the final episode is a simple red dress, created by designer Catherine Walker – who designed a significant number of well-known ensembles worn by the royal family.

In reality, the simple red shirt, which features a gold double belt, was originally made for the princess during a visit to Chicago, but was not worn until the foundation stone was unveiled in the emergency department of Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow. Middlesex.

Sidonie said the dress inspired a look in the program that was supposed to be a “clean and clear vehicle to evoke the ostentatious wealth of Al Fayeds’ world.”

Another ensemble that looks almost identical to the outfit that Diana, Princess of Wales, actually wore is the outfit she donned during a trip to Angola in 1997.

During the visit, the royal family wore protective body armor and a visor as she crossed a landmine minefield cleared by the Halo charity in Huambo.

As part of her lobbying work to raise awareness about landmines, the Princess visited Bosnia in August that year.

In one of the famous photos from that visit, the royal family is dressed in a pale pink shirt, adorned with a pair of large gold stud earrings.

Meanwhile, the trailer for the upcoming series shows the royal family dressed in a very similar shirt and earrings, showing how the spirit of the princess’s style has been captured by the creative team.

The show recreated this shot - a moment that would become particularly poignant, following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, showing her at the end of the passerelle on Al-Fayeds' yacht in the Mediterranean, not long before her death.

When it comes to the costumes during what will undoubtedly be a very controversial segment – ​​the moments leading up to the royal family’s death – Sidonie revealed how the team handled it.

She revealed that the clothes were kept extremely close to what Diana actually wore.

They worked with a tailor and made two pantsuits, keeping the final scene “as true to life as possible.”

This, Sidonie said, was because “the s‘The subject is very sensitive and very tragic’, and they did not want to detract from that.

She said: ‘That was a very important decision for us.’

After the pop culture bonanza of this summer’s “Barbie,” the hoo-ha surrounding the live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” and the attention paid to everything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, observers could be forgiven for missing the title of the next one. Costume Institute blockbuster at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and think they were in the mood for a Disney extravaganza. After all, it’s called ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’. And those princess costumes have been very influential.

But while the show was indeed partly inspired by a current cultural moment, it is not a fantasy moment.

Rather, it is a matter of sustainability.

In particular, the ephemeral nature of… well, nature. And how fashion captures that literally, in the form of garments inspired by and adorned with flora and fauna, and conceptually, in the endless cycle of in and out, the potential to degrade. Think of it as a show dedicated to Ansustainable fashion, a fashion that could function as a requiem, a warning sign and a reminder of the fundamental importance of regeneration.

“It’s basically an ode to nature,” says Andrew Bolton, curator of the Costume Institute and the man behind the idea. “Nature as a metaphor for fashion and for its fragility and transience.”

Considering fashion’s famously negative impact on the natural world, that’s a bit ironic. But Mr. Bolton, who is responsible for such shows as “Camp,” “Heavenly Bodies” and “China Through the Looking Glass,” has never shied away from a controversial theme. The show is also a meta-commentary about nature as a source of life and the life that is lost when garments enter a museum and become objects of study, rather than tools for navigating the world.

There will be a lot going on, making it a signature Bolton production.

Comprised of 250 garments and accessories from the museum’s permanent collection and held in the Tisch Galleries, ‘Sleeping Beauties,’ opening in May 2024, will be an immersive experience highlighting pieces with what Mr. Bolton calls “inherent called vices’, meaning that due to the internal characteristics of the material involved, they had deteriorated too much to be displayed on mannequins.

Instead, they will be buried in glass “coffins,” which will hang flat for the viewer to see, while a ghostly hologram, à la Kate Moss in her Alexander McQueen dress, may appear next to them, returning the garment to some sort of three may return. -dimensional life. Surrounding about 12 or 15 of these relics will be more contemporary garments that share a creative dimension rooted (no pun intended) in the natural world.

“I went through all 33,000 pieces that we have in our permanent collection,” Mr. Bolton said, noting that he was struck by how many references there were to the environment, including those that were among the most fragile. Hence the decision to make that idea the connective tissue that ties the show together.

“It is a subliminal message about a more sustainable care for nature,” he continued, and also reminds us of what is lost if it is not paid attention. (It also allowed him, he said, to acquire a number of pieces from younger designers working with sustainability in mind for the museum’s permanent collection, including Hillary Taymour of Collina Strada, Connor Ives and Phoebe English.)

The exhibition is divided into three zones by theme: earth, air and water, which in turn are displayed in approximately 26 walk-in bell-shaped structures, like their own fashion terrariums. (Mr. Bolton called them “bubbles.”)

For example, imagine an Elizabethan jacket from between 1615 and 1620, covered in embroidered pods, flowers and insects, next to a 2006 couture dress by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, itself inspired by Elizabethan embroidery, both pieces framed by enlarged clasps. ups on the walls and floor of the ants and bees in the embroidery so that they virtually buzz around you. Or consider a black tulle dress from 1938-39 by Madeleine Vionnet, embroidered with a flock of swallows and placed in a room with a video of swallows swarming in increasingly frenzied circles as the sound of flapping wings fills the space and the light fades to black.

To further emphasize the emotional component of clothing and why it matters, Mr. Bolton collaborates with photographer Nick Knight of ShowStudio as a creative consultant and with Sissel Tolaas, the Norwegian artist and fragrance scientist, who recreates certain scents associated with the garments through molecular analysis. Sound, such as the rustle of taffeta or the click of sequins (or those wings), will also be involved, as will x-rays and video. Even AI can play a role, thanks to the involvement of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who helps animate a 1930s Callot Soeurs wedding dress in the show.

“You’ll be able to ask him questions,” Mr. Bolton said. “And it will answer.”

The exhibition is sponsored by Loewe, whose designer, Jonathan Anderson, is known for using a huge cast anthurium as the bodice of a strapless dress, and by TikTok. As for what the latter has to do with “sleeping beauties,” Mr Bolton shrugged and pointed out that the platform could help the exhibition reach “a huge audience that, you know, might not automatically.” And that in turn can wake them up for the museum.

Although the hosts of the show-opening gala, which the Costume Institute is funding, have not yet been announced, it is likely that Mr Anderson will take his place alongside Anna Wintour, the bash’s honorary co-chair, at at the top of the Met stairs, possibly next to a Loewe ambassador or two, like Josh O’Connor or Taylor Russell.

As for the dress code of the party, it is also still a mystery, but one thing is clear. It should bloom beautifully. Don’t eavesdrop while we wait.

With Halloween just around the corner, many of us are getting ready to attend scary parties this weekend, but one unfortunate woman has been banned from them because of her unique body art.

Melissa Sloan, 46, from Powys, Wales, said she has never been invited to spooky themed parties to celebrate the autumn holidays because of the 800 inks spread across her body.

But this isn’t the first joyful occasion the mother of seven claims she’s been left out of. First she was excluded from her child’s Christmas play, and she is also not allowed to attend Christmas parties.

She told me Daily star: ‘People say I don’t need a costume because I’m scary enough.

‘I just don’t pay attention to it because I can’t do anything about it. I’ll just keep doing the tattoos, more tattoos.’

Melissa, who has seven children, said that since she has 800 tattoos, she has stopped being invited to spooky themed parties to celebrate Halloween.

She claimed she would love an invite one day and joked that she could buy a mask to make her look like Freddy Krueger – the disfigured killer from the film A Nightmare On Elm Street – to cover and prevent her ‘scary’ face that people are offended.

Melissa is not only excluded from social gatherings; she also hasn’t found a driving instructor willing to give her lessons.

One man almost gave her a chance, but she chased him away after their first lesson. The tattooed mother admitted that her appearance could startle strangers at first glance.

Adding to her misery, Melissa has been unemployed for twenty years as a result of her extreme body art.

One reason why employers may be put off is a reference to the infamous Kray twins who terrorized the East End of London.

However, the tattoo fanatic wants to prove people’s assumptions about her wrong – by becoming a lawyer.

But although she can't find a job, she is keen to try to have an eighth child with her partner Luke to complete her already large family.

But although she can’t find a job, she is keen to try to have an eighth child with her partner Luke to complete her already large family.

In the meantime, she would like to try to have an eighth child with her partner Luke to complete her already large family.

She admitted that before she decided to get pregnant again, she had not had sex for three years.

However, it is now back on the agenda as her children kept pestering her for another sibling.

Pregnancy at age 46 would pose health risks, but Melissa is optimistic there will be no complications.

Melissa, who got her first tattoo in her 20s, acknowledged that her newborn baby will never see her real face, which is completely covered in ink.

She revealed the motivation behind her extensive body art, saying it was her way of hiding the “emotional scars” of sexual abuse at the hands of her pedophile brother.

Schitts Creek alum Emily Hampshire apologizes after she and a friend dressed up as Johnny Depp And Amber heard for Halloween.

“I want to address one of the most thoughtless, insensitive and ignorant things I have ever done,” Hampshire, 42, wrote in a statement shared via Instagram on Wednesday, November 1. “For Halloween, I stupidly thought it would be funny to dress up as Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.”

She continued, “I am deeply sorry and ashamed for putting something so horrible out into the universe. Domestic violence is never funny. These are real issues with real people and I REALLY regret my actions. In the future I will do better. I’m very sorry.”

Hampshire removed photos of themselves dressed as Depp, 60, complete with drawn tattoos and accessories referencing the actor’s 2022 defamation case against his ex-wife Heard, 37. The Hampshire friend feigned tears in the snaps and donned a white top reminiscent of the one Heard wore as she cried on the stands in May 2022.

Others believed that the time for the controversial costume had come and gone when a jury found in Depp’s favor in June 2022, awarding him $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.

Jason, 35, pointed out that he was dressed as “King Triton.” The Little Mermaid. The Philadelphia Eagles center rocked a gold sequined top and a DIY crown to portray the underwater king — and father of Princess Ariel. Jason — who eagerly “modeled” his look for Travis, 34 — then stood up to show off the bottom half of his ensemble. Jason’s look was completed with blue leggings with a scale print that mimics a merman’s tail, and gold cuff bracelets.

‘These are my scales! I have flippers [on my ankles]” he added excitedly.
