Bianca Censori ditched her recent show-stopping ensembles for a tamer look as she stepped out with Kanye West in West Hollywood on Friday.

The Australian-born architect, 29 – whose father recently demanded that both she and the rapper, 46, fly to Australia to address her X-rated outfits – held hands with West as they looked at studio spaces together.

Censori opted for a less revealing look that consisted of a figure-hugging white bodysuit held up with thin straps that wrapped around her shoulders.

She also donned a pair of white lace tights and white open-toed heels to match the color scheme of the ensemble.

Bianca easily carried a small black bag in which she could store a few items she would need during the excursion.

Her short, dark locks were styled into a sleek ponytail, ensuring no loose strands fell on her face.

Bianca chose to wear dainty silver ear cuffs, but didn’t add any other statement jewelry.

Kanye dressed in a monochrome look for the outing by wearing black baggy pants and a black hooded sweatshirt.

The Heartless hitmaker also wore a pair of black Nike sneakers that were tied with laces and added a few shades of black for a finishing touch.

The couple, who turned heads with Bianca’s very daring outfits, were spotted holding hands as they visited a few studios in the city.

At one point, West was also seen leading Censori to a parked vehicle and opening the door for the architect.

Their outing comes a day after Kanye – who also goes by Ye – uploaded a short film of Bianca lying in a huge bed while scrolling on her phone.

She held up the device to partially hide her face while wearing an ensemble she apparently wore last week – which consisted of a pink corset-style top and white lace tights.

She also donned a pair of white lace tights and white open-toed heels to match the color scheme of the ensemble.

The short video is currently the only post on his main Instagram page – and he has also chosen not to add a caption to his 20.3 million followers.

Earlier this week, sources told DailyMail.com that both the rapper and Bianca have been asked by her father, Leo, to fly to Australia to ease concerns about her latest X-rated makeover.

“Kanye has been invited to go to Australia and Bianca is hesitant to make it happen because she knows how her father will react,” the insider said.

“Her father still plans to talk to Kanye, and Leo will not be intimidated by Kanye’s power or control. No one expects this to be all rainbows and family portraits.”

Censori’s mother, Alexandra, had recently flown to Los Angeles to assess the situation for herself and “rescue” her daughter.

“Bianca’s father wasn’t necessarily happy about his wife’s visit to see their daughter because he feels like she has enabled Bianca to keep doing what she does,” the source continued.

“Yes, Bianca dressed provocatively while her mother was there, but that was nothing compared to some of the outfits she wore before and after the visit.”

The terminal illness sufferer: Carrie Jade Williams 

Carrie first made headlines when she won the Bodley Head Financial Times literary award in 2020 – a prestigious essay competition with a £1,000 prize. She went on to host writing workshops online

Carrie Jade Williams is an English woman in her 30s who claimed to have Huntington’s disease, a rare and terminal neurological condition.

She arrived in Cahersiveen, County Kerry, in 2019 rather out of the blue and soon befriended a woman whose daughter had died. 

She first made headlines when she won the Bodley Head Financial Times literary award in 2020 – a prestigious essay competition with a £1,000 prize. 

In a video that exploded on social media, Carrie, who suffered from Huntington's disease, said her Airbnb guests demanded a refund

She later said they had attempted to sue her for 450,000 euros for the 'trauma' caused by 'being around her as a disabled person'

In a video that exploded on social media, Carrie, who claimed to suffer from Huntington’s disease, said her Airbnb guests demanded a refund and attempted to sue her for 450,000 euros for the ‘trauma’ caused by ‘being around her as a disabled person’

Her compelling and emotional essay called: ‘My brain is in a battle it will lose’ told the story of her diagnosis with Huntington’s and how she could no longer write or hold a pen. The essay was said to have been written using assistive technology.

After winning the prize and having the essay published in a national newspaper, Carrie garnered a huge platform and everyone wanted to interview the terminally ill chemical engineer-turned star writer. 

She began hosting virtual writing workshops during the pandemic and told those who had joined that she would help them get bursaries of up to £10,000 to kick-start their literary careers. Carrie claimed the money was coming from a literary app she was set to launch.

But as time went on, the app never launched and the group attendees never saw any money. Growing suspicious of Carrie, people began to question her and after months of stringing them along, Carrie said she was going to the US for life-saving surgery and soon ghosted the group completely. 

Yet she continued to build on her platform following the win, and made YouTube videos detailing her horror diagnosis. Her story captured the public’s heart.

But in 2022, high on her success as an online disability activist, Carrie told a lie that would eventually unravel her lies. She posted a TikTok calling out Airbnb for allegedly siding with guests who had complained about having to use her accessible doorbell.

‘I know able-ism exists, and I’ve experienced it,’ she said in a teary video.  

Carrie claimed the guests, who had stayed at her home, were so ‘traumatised by being around her as a disabled person’ they had complained to Airbnb – and that Airbnb had instructed her to refund them as a result.

The video went viral as people were horrified by the overt display of able-ism and Carrie soon posted a follow-up video – where she claimed the guests were now suing her for 450,000 euros for the trauma caused. They also allegedly slapped her with a list of 13 bizarre demands to cope with the trauma, including an emotional support animal and 25 adult colouring books a year for the remainder of their lives.

However on October 5, 2022, someone on Reddit posted links to articles about a convicted fraudster – who they claimed was Carrie. 

Carrie issued a statement saying this was in fact her sister who had struggled with mental health problems and that it was defamatory for anyone to link the pair. 

This led journalist Kat to investigate the story and over the course of two months, she uncovered the truth. Carrie Jade did not exist. 

The autism expert: Rebecca Fitzgerald 

The woman's real name was Samantha Cookes, but she lived under several fake identities and names, including Rebecca Fitzgerald, Lucy Fitzwilliam, Lucy Hart and Carrie Jade Williams

The woman’s real name was Samantha Cookes, but she lived under several fake identities and names, including Rebecca Fitzgerald, Lucy Fitzwilliam, Lucy Hart and Carrie Jade Williams

In 2017, 29-year-old au pair and ‘autism therapist’ Rebecca Fitzgerald moved to Fermoy, a town near Cork, Ireland.

She lived and worked with a local family and formed relationships with parents in the community, advertising herself as a qualified autism therapist who could ‘teach non-speaking autistic kids to talk in just two months’. 

Parents in the local area described her as kind, empathetic and the ‘perfect person’ and she was soon invited into their homes to help their children. Rebecca began working at Fermoy’s kids community centre and school.

It is not possible to reverse non-speaking autism in two months, Rebecca had no qualifications and she was not a child therapist. 

Julie Lee, a mother in her 50s originally from Johannesburg and a taxi driver who often drove Rebecca from house to house, clocked that she was a fraud. 

Rebecca would have no money when arriving at the houses of these families, Julie said, and yet when she picked her up she would have hundreds of pounds. ‘That’s how I knew what she was doing.’

During the drives, Rebecca told Julie she was opening a clinic for children and families and tried to recruit Julie to work there, before asking for a copy of her passport and money. Having recruited other people in the area, one woman even quit her job as an au pair to work for Rebecca.

‘That’s when I realised it was a scam,’ Julie said. ‘An unqualified person doing that, then looking for passport copies, then money.’ 

People at the school started to ask questions about the qualifications of their child’s new therapist. The school headteacher contacted the Garda [police] but they never followed up. 

Julie also reported Rebecca, and the Garda told her they had a thick folder on Rebecca, and had been keeping track of her.

Officers were sent to Rebecca’s home and shortly after, she disappeared.

The speech therapist: Lucy Fitzwilliam

A year earlier, in 2016, bright and bushy tailed Lucy Fitzwilliam, 28, moved to County Geery, Ireland. 

She introduced herself to the locals as a speech and language therapist who also ran a domestic violence refuge and quickly became a beloved member of the community.

Lucy met Lynn, not her real name for anonymity, a single parent and domestic abuse survivor whose youngest daughter has Rett syndrome, a genetic neurological disorder that affects the way the brain develops. Lucy offered to be her carer.

Lynn declined the offer but Lucy was persistent and instead said she could do art therapy with Lynn’s oldest daughter Sofia, eight, who had witnessed her father’s abuse.

The family became close with Lucy, and after months of ‘therapy’ she offered them a trip to Lapland. This was apparently being organised by the church who were covering half the cost. 

Lucy said she needed a £500 deposit to secure the trip – which would be raising money for the domestic abuse refuge she claimed to run. The community rallied and Lynn’s mother made up 400-500 euros worth of food packages for the refuge.

As the Lapland trip drew nearer, Lynn said she had been trying to find a specialist nurse to care for her youngest daughter. It was at this point Lucy said she would take Sofia to Lapland alone and Lynn and her youngest could join them later once care was organised.

All Lucy needed was Sofia’s passport and birth certificate, Lynn said.

‘She had zoned in on my Sofia and I still to this day believe she looked for a signature from me so she could bring Sofia herself to Lapland.’ 

Suspicions in the community escalated when one of Lynn’s friends, a woman called Pauline whose son is autistic, said Lucy had also tried to convince her to hand over her son’s passport. 

Lucy was reported to the Garda for trying to scam families in the community out of money and passports, but she was let go without charge. She packed up and left County Geery that same night. 

The au pair: Lucy Hart

Two years before there was Lucy Fitzwilliam, there was a 26-year-old woman called Lucy Hart.

Bonnie, not her real name for anonymity, a woman in her 40s from Tullamore, had been looking an au pair to help look after her children.

She came across Lucy on an au pair website in 2014. Lucy said she was experienced in childcare and following a quick video call, Bonnie hired her.   

‘She was so convincing, and really lovely in the interview we had,’ said Bonnie. 

In a video for the ALS ice bucket challenge, Lucy nominated her mother 'Jane' to take part and her employer Bonnie's children poured the water over her head

Bonnie and her children ‘loved’ Lucy and she quickly became part of the family – regaling them with her interesting stories about her previous au pair jobs and her own family. Lucy said she was adopted and that her mother Jane Hart lived in the United States. She said her mother was the ‘main supplier for sandpaper for B&Q’.

In a video for the ALS ice bucket challenge, Lucy nominated her mother ‘Jane’ and Bonnie’s children poured the water over her head. 

Lucy soon opened up to Bonnie about her love life, saying she was dating a man in the UK who had two children from a previous relationship. 

Bonnie also received an insight into Lucy’s tragic past, as she told her that her previous fiance Liam had had motor neuron disease and killed himself by hanging. Lucy said she had found him.

The pair’s friendship grew but things changed during Christmas in 2014 – when Lucy accused Bonnie’s children of stealing her money and engagement ring. Bonnie did not believe her children would do such a thing and the relationship began to break down. 

Bonnie went back over many of Lucy’s elaborate stories and found they did not add up, so one day challenged her au pair as she launched into yet another tale. Kind and smiley Lucy was quickly replaced with an angry woman who accused Bonnie of attacking her and stormed out of the room. 

Things remained tense until one day in January when Lucy said she was going on a writing retreat and disappeared. 

After a few weeks, Bonnie accepted Lucy was not coming back and went into the room she had been staying in. In the wardrobe she found piles of documents and one truly chilling letter that made her ‘blood run cold’.

Among shopping lists and legal documents was a statement about visitation rights for Lucy’s child – a child whose name matched the one she claimed was her boyfriend’s from another relationship. More chilling still, Bonnie came across a statement.

The statement read: ‘I stand shoulder to shoulder with the coroner and I did not murder my daughter. I pray she is at peace.’

Her real identity: Samantha Cookes

Behind all of the aliases is a real woman – Samantha Cookes. 

Born in 1988, Samantha grew up in Gloucestershire, before moving to Shropshire with her mother and her new husband after her parents divorced. 

Samantha had a reputation for being a liar, her friend from school said. Her lies included her mother having cancer and her being pregnant and miscarrying.

Aged 18, Samantha was dating a boy called Liam. She went as far as to set up a website to plan their ‘wedding’. There was no wedding. 

The pair split up some time later and aged 20, Samantha started a degree in Occupational Therapy at York University.

However, Samantha later discovered she was pregnant and left university in her first year, returning home to Shropshire. She gave birth to a daughter called Martha in 2008.

Tragically, just four months later, Martha died. 

A five-month inquest found Martha had died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) – a result which appeared to vindicate Samantha, who seemed to have taken the inquest as an accusation.

It was at this point Samantha made the statement later found by Bonnie in Tullamore six years later. 

‘I stand shoulder to shoulder with the coroner, and I did not murder my daughter,’ it read. ‘I pray she is at peace.’

Samantha did not return to university as she chose not to fill out criminal records check forms. 

Two years later in 2010, Samantha started a relationship with a man, whose identity is not being revealed to protect him and his family. The pair had a child. 

The same year, 23-year-old Samantha offered her services as a surrogate on Facebook. 

After making contact with a couple about being their surrogate, Samantha passed on the contact of a woman called Claudia, who had previously used her as a surrogate. Claudia gave the excited couple a glowing review of Samantha.

Having never met her face to face, the couple gave Samantha £1,200 out of their savings to cover the cost of the insemination kit, legal fees and other expenses. 

Sadly the baby never came, and as both Samantha and Claudia avoided the couple’s messages, they realised they had been duped. The police were contacted and a 23-year-old woman was arrested at her home in Shropshire.

The case came to trial in 2011 and Samantha pleaded guilty to fraud. She received a suspended sentence of 9 months’ imprisonment and a fine of £1890 to be paid to the couple.

But what the trial also revealed was that Samantha and Claudia were the same person. Claudia did not exist.

A year later, Samantha gave birth to a second child with the man she had been dating but due to mental health problems, the father was given sole custody. In 2013 she became pregnant with her third child with the same man. 

Determined not to lose custody of this unborn child, Samantha fled to Ireland in the winter of 2013. She gave birth in January 2014.

However, a neighbour reported her to Irish social services and the child was taken into care. After appearing at Irish family court, the father was again given custody and the baby was transported back to the UK. 

Samantha had permanently lost custody of her third child by August 2014. 

A month later she had changed her name to Lucy Hart and was working for Bonnie as an au pair. In January 2015, she left Bonnie’s home. 

In 2016, Samantha moved to County Geery and became Lucy Fitzwilliam and in 2017, Rebecca Fitzgerald arrived in Fermoy. 

When Samantha arrived in Cahersiveen, County Kerry, in 2019, she became someone else – Carrie Jade Williams.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has reportedly been formally offered the opportunity to play James Bond – taking over from Daniel Craig for the next films.

And the actor’s real Bond Girl is his wife Sam, 57, who is 24 years his senior and a  British film director and artist – with the pair having a fiercely private relationship. 

Actor Aaron, 33, met the filmmaker, 58, on the set of Nowhere Boy in 2009 and they share daughters Wylda Rae, 13, and Romy Hero 11, as well as Angelica, 26, and Jessie, 16, from Sam’s previous marriage to art dealer Jay Jopling.

When they first met on the film Aaron was just 18 and Sam was 42. They didn’t get together until after they finished the project where a ‘deep connection’ was formed. 

Sam has enjoyed a hugely successful filmmaking career with films such as Fifty Shades of Grey and has also directed the upcoming Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black.

But she has also faced a fair amount of personal turmoil – having battled cancer twice. 

In December 1997, at age 30, she was treated for colon cancer. Then in 2000, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

She practices yoga and meditation, of which she has previously said: ‘I wouldn’t be able to survive everything without the meditation that I do. It’s what I think has made me able to cope with the madness.’

Sam was born in Croydon and grew up near Streatham Common in south London, with her younger sister Ashley and her mother Geraldine and father David.

Her father left the family when she was nine which she has previously described as a ‘sudden, very weird and abrupt’ split. She didn’t see her dad for the next 10 years.

Sam went to Beacon Community College in East Sussex and later attended Goldsmiths, University of London.

She then began exhibiting fine-art photography in the early 1990s and began working on her filmmaking with short videos during this time. 

She was nominated for the Turner prize in 1998, and was the winner of Most Promising Artist award at the 1997 Venice Biennale.

She then moved further into filmmaking and in August 2008, was chosen to direct Nowhere Boy, a biopic about the childhood of John Lennon. She was subsequently nominated for a BAFTA for the film. 

Last year Aaron gave a rare insight into their marriage and touched on their ‘creative partnership’. 

Speaking to Esquire the Kick-Ass star said despite collaborating with Sam on three films he ‘doesn’t think it’s accurate’ to suggest the couple’s relationship is rooted in their creative partnership.

Saying: ‘Yeah, we worked—I met Sam as actor and director. I think we’re really great at collaborating. But that’s not why I fell in love with her’.

Elsewhere in the conversation he discussed the couple’s home life and his shock that his children were already teenagers.

The family moved back to the UK from Los Angeles in 2022 and have since settled in Somerset where Aaron said he has pigs and bees and ‘loves’ life in the country.

The Bullet Train star also spoke about his upcoming acting gigs after originally opting to work less stay to home with his children when they were younger.

Saying: ‘I wanted, purely, to be with my babies, I didn’t want to be taken away from them. I battled with what that would be like.’ 

He later admitted to the interviewer: ‘I’ve probably talked to you more about my kids and Sam than I have with anybody. I’ve got really nothing to hide, and I’m secure in what we have. But I’m not going to unlock things that are actually precious to me.’

Aaron has also previously touched on their age gap which has come under scrutiny in the past. 

He said: ‘I’ve got really nothing to hide, and I’m secure in what we have. But I’m not going to unlock things that are actually precious to me.

‘I don’t really analyze our relationship. I just know that it works. I just feel secure and loved and safe. We have this very deep connection. We’re just in sync.’ 

Before Aaron Sam was married to art dealer Jay. They tied the knot in 1997 and had two daughters together, born in April 1997 and 2005, respectively.

In September 2008, the couple announced that they were separating amicably after 11 years of marriage.

Sam found out about her colon cancer at the end of 1997 – the same year she married Jay and welcomed their first daughter Angelica. 

She originally thought that her cancer symptoms were her body’s reaction to giving birth and had three GP visits where she was told she was just ‘recovering slowly’.

After her pain intensified she went to see a private doctor and was correctly diagnosed. 

The next day she went into hospital and had a foot-and-a-half of her colon removed and stayed in hospital for three weeks.  

Then, in the autumn of 1999, she found a lump in her armpit and subsequently had treatment for breast cancer.

She told The Guardian of the tough experience: ‘You go through all that, and you still don’t know if it’s gone. 

‘It’s all percentages: if you do this, you get this much percentage knocked off the possibility of recurrence. And it’s always something pathetic like three per cent.’

After overcoming cancer and her divorce she found happiness with actor Aaron.

In 2022 Sam dubbed her husband Aaron ‘father to all 4 girls’ as they celebrated 10 years of marriage. 

’10 glorious years. My incredible husband, father to all 4 girls. I love you, I love you, I love you. love conquers all,’ she wrote.

In honour of the marriage milestone, the pair decided to renew their ‘vows and confess our love in front of our nearest and dearest friends and family.’ 

‘It was a magical unforgettable day and the sun did not stop shining on us both,’ Aaron gushed on Instagram.

‘We are blessed beyond belief. Sammy you are my love, my life, my soulmate, my wife, my world!’

In 2011 then-Prince Charles presided over the ceremony in which Sam received her OBE in honor of her photography and artwork.

‘It’s such an incredible honor to receive this award — something I would never have dreamt of,’ she told the BBC. ‘It’s very gratifying for an artist to get recognition at this level.’

It comes as Aaron ‘has been formally offered the opportunity to play James Bond’, putting an end to months of speculation regarding Daniel Craig’s successor. 

He is yet to officially accept the role, but should he do so he will become only the seventh actor to play the iconic British secret agent since the franchise launched in 1962.

A recent poll suggested Idris Elba was still the public’s number one choice for the role, despite being 51 – old for a Bond candidate – and already ruling himself out of the running in order to focus on his crime drama, Luther. 

But Aaron, who is known for his roles in Nocturnal Animals, Kick-Ass, Nowhere Boy and Avengers: Age of Ultron, has landed the coveted part, reports The Sun.  

A source said: ‘Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back.

‘As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.’ 

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Aaron for comment. 

Responding to the rumours that he could step into Bond’s shoes last week, Aaron played coy, telling Numero: ‘I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment.’

He began acting as a child and has seen his career go from strength to strength, with three huge film appearance this year alone.

Aaron will be starring as a famous action star who goes missing in The Fall Guy, opposite Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.

And he will also be appearing in the hotly anticipated remake of 1922 gothic horror Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers and featuring a star-studded cast, including Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe.

But Aaron’s biggest upcoming role will see him rejoin the superhero universe, as he will be playing the titular role in Kraven the Hunter, the fifth film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.

He also has been nominated for two BAFTAs and previously won Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes for Nocturnal Animals.

The Bullet Train star’s name has been in the running for Bond for a while now, alongside fellow A-list contenders like Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill and recent Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy.

In October last year, the Mail exclusively revealed that Aaron was the ‘one to beat’ to take the iconic role, while Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan was looking likely to helm the next film in the franchise.

The insider said: ‘Aaron Taylor-Johnson is currently the hot favorite to step into the iconic role, he’s the first choice for Barbara Broccoli – he is the one to beat.’

They added of Christopher: ‘He is extremely interested in doing something very different with the franchise. If he can get his way with producers, then he is all for it.’

An au pair for the super-rich has opened up about some of the perks of the job, including flying around in private jets, holidaying on superyachts and not paying for food or accommodation.

Sami Jean, 24, originally from Prince Edward Island, Canada, has been an au pair for just over two years and in an effort to help others follow in her footsteps, she regularly shares insights on TikTok, where she has more than 33,000 followers.

In one clip, she reveals how she was originally hired by a family to live in New York after graduating through an agency called Scotia Personnel, and has since worked in the Hamptons, Miami Beach and in Italy.

As for salary, Sami doesn’t reveal her salary, but she says it varies from family to family and location also helps “determine how much you get paid.”

Photos posted to Instagram show the Canadian enjoying her time at work, with one photo showing her posing at the bow of a yacht in the Hamptons, while another post captured her eating and drinking in Paris.

On TikTok, Sami can be seen casually boarding a private jet in one clip owned by her host family and another clip shows her enjoying the surroundings of a yacht with the overlapping caption: ‘POV: You are a nanny for a family with a yacht.’

In one video, Sami’s friend Alexa, who also works as an au pair for wealthy clients, shows what an average day looks like.

She tells viewers, “So here in America I do childcare and help with the kids in the morning…making them breakfast, getting them ready for school.”

During the day, Alexa says she “drives a lot,” taking the kids to “activities and stuff.”

In the evenings, her main job is to hang out with her host children and make sure they do their homework.

Alexa, who, like Sami, also worked as an au pair in Italy, says that her workload was lighter there because she did not have to get the children ready for school.

Instead, her main job was to “just help them with their homework and talk to them in English” [the parents] wanted the children to learn English and speak English with a very good accent.’

While Sami admits she has been lucky with the families she has been paired with, she reveals that some hosts treat au pairs like ‘slaves’

Sami emphasizes that the most important role of an au pair is to ‘entertain’ children.

For aspiring au pairs, she outlines some things to ask a host family before accepting a job.

She tells her fans: ‘Ask them how many children they have, what ages they are and what gender they are.

‘Ask what they do for a living if they have pets and are you responsible for that? [for them].’

After questioning a potential employer about the situation involving children and pets, Sami says it’s important to determine what your living situation will be like and what a typical day entails.

She continues, “And then, to be honest, I would dive into vacations. Do they take you on holiday? If they take you, will you get paid extra?’

Other things Sami says are worth finding out are whether you can have friends over and whether your partner can come visit, especially if you’re in a long-distance relationship.

Finally, regarding pay, Sami recommends finding out what your salary will be and “if there are opportunities to increase it.”

In terms of experience, the au pair says that you generally only need “three references from childcare experience,” which can include “sole babysitting.”

Although Sami admits that she has been lucky with the families she has been paired with, she reveals that some hosts treat au pairs like “slaves.”

One of her followers also suggested that it’s not always as glamorous as it seems.

They wrote: ‘You are lucky to have a good family. My mother did this and it was not a good experience at all.”

However, Sami seems very satisfied with her career choice so far.

She concludes: ‘Believe me, if you are willing to put yourself out there, au pairing will expand your network enormously and the best part is that you will end the experience with friends all over the world.’

A FASHION fan tried on Free People’s controversial new micro shorts out of pure morbid curiosity.

She compared the tiny shorts to underwear and expressed genuine concern that they would harm her health.

Nicole (@nicolestorydent) shared her test drive in a TikTok video.

Free People’s latest launch for spring and summer drew criticism from shoppers who found the shorts too small.

Many were concerned that the styles would leave everything hanging.

“I generally prefer my shorts and skirts to be longer than my tampon string,” one commenter joked.

Nicole decided she had to see for herself how bad the damage was.

“Like many women, I was stunned when I saw this message from Free People, but I ran to my shopping cart because these needed to be tried on, on a body in the wild,” she said.

“This may not be for the faint of heart,” she warned.

The first pair, a medium wash with layers of denim pocket flaps, had her in hysterics as she used the flaps as wings and pretended to take to the air for “I Believe I Can Fly.”

“It’s kind of a reward for the waitress if they ever want to do a Waffle House Hooters hybrid,” she said.

On the plus side, she gave Free People props for giving the people what they wanted.

I’m an 8 year old grandma, but I still show off my figure in tiny bikinis and shorts. I get made fun of, but I keep wearing what I want

“We asked for more bags, so they were delivered,” she said.

“Speaking of giving birth, you could have a baby without having to take off these shorts,” she said as she moved on to the second pair of micro shorts.

“For size reference, this is a month of 400.”

Unfortunately, Nicole didn’t believe the “shorts” even qualified as shorts.

“I’d say these look more like ‘jundies’ or ‘janties’ or at best a ‘jikini,'” she joked.

To give the shorts the good old try, she attempted a squat test, but failed before she could even remotely reach the ground.

Fortunately, there were other variants to test out the squat test with.

“In case you were thinking that, they’re a little too casual for me. They come in a plaid color,” she said, showing off the white plaid shorts.

Nicole has given a new name to denim shorts "junkies or janties or a jikini"

“Millenials know a thing or two about moving from corporate to club and I feel like we’ve missed an opportunity to take this route,” she said.

Free People, or as Nicole dubbed the company ‘Free Peephole’, seemed to have all their bases covered with a vegan leather pair meant for nights out on the town, although Nicole didn’t seem to agree.

“There’s nothing vegan about it because a cat will definitely get hurt wearing these,” she said.

“And the name for this color on the website is Tofu and I would like to request that they change it to Camel Toe-fu.”

She joked that a plaid option would be a great transition piece from work to the club

She also really liked a red, pink and orange striped pair.

“It’s as if my grandmother was knitting me a pair of shorts that extended just right and died halfway through, but I still wear them in her honor,” she said seriously.

Although Nicole planned to return the shorts and get her money back, she was still disturbed by the shorts’ potential impact on the larger world.

“I worry about the pH balance of women who wear these regularly,” she said.

She added that it was a vegan leather pair "harmed" her "cat"

‘They should probably come with tampons, whereas if you wear it for more than eight hours you’ll have to go to the hospital.

“And I hate to send these back… because I feel like they know me so personally now that I feel like I should at least make them breakfast.

“I’ll text you guys,” she said to the shorts.

One mother recognized the design of the shorts, although she was shocked to see that she had missed the memo about the brand’s partnership with a diaper manufacturer.

“I probably missed the announcement that Free People was partnering with Depend,” she said.

“It gives denim roast beef,” said another.

“The first is giving Shakespeare-era shorts,” said a third.

One woman felt that Free People was too eager to fulfill customer requests.

“When women asked for more pockets, they didn’t mean to put them all on one garment,” she said.

People joked that Free People misunderstood when they asked for more pockets in their clothes

Some thought the shorts would do well in terms of sales, while many thought they shouldn’t hit the market at all.

“Dozens have been sold,” one commenter joked.

“Can’t Free People just send a pair to the five people they would look good on?” said another.

Nicole warned shoppers not to wear the shorts for too long for fear of disrupting their pH balance

Brittany Higgins and David Sharaz flew all the way from France for a mediation hearing with her old boss Linda Reynolds.

But the two sides did not face off because the Western Australian Liberal senator wanted her own chamber at the court.

New details could be revealed on Tuesday at the mediation hearing between Ms Higgins, Mr Sharaz and Ms Reynolds.

It comes as Daily Mail Australia can reveal a planned conference of the parties scheduled for Wednesday has been sensationally scrapped.

Senator Reynolds is suing Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz individually for defamation in the WA Supreme Court over a series of social media posts that she claims have damaged her reputation.

On Monday, Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz traveled from their new home in Lunas, France, to Perth for a court-ordered mediation session, hoping they could settle the dispute and avoid a costly six-week trial.

The group entered the courtroom at 10 a.m. Tuesday and left just before 7 p.m., without resolution.

Daily Mail Australia understands Ms Reynolds opted for a private room away from the couple on Tuesday, meaning a mediator had to spend the day traveling between the parties.

It is also understood that Mrs Higgins was not allowed to bring a chaperone with her, which is why her best friend Emma Webster was absent.

Ms Webster stood by Ms Higgins during both Bruce Lehrmann’s criminal trial and when Ms Higgins appeared in court for his defamation action against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson.

When contacted by Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday, a spokesperson for Ms Reynolds said: “Discussions between the parties are ongoing today.”

“There will be no further comment.”

If the group fails to reach an agreement after the nine-hour session, it could mean the dispute goes to court later this year.

As she went to court on Tuesday morning, Hs Higgins told reporters she believes everyone went to the hearing “in good faith.”

Neither she nor Mr Sharaz answered any questions as they left court with their lawyers later that evening.

Ms Reynolds left with her lawyer Martin Bennett and her partner Robert Reid.

“Long day,” she said, grinning widely to the waiting media.

“It’s still ongoing, so it’s not appropriate for me to comment on it yet.”

Monday’s hearing was held as Judge Marcus Solomon urged the parties to resolve the issue before going to trial, citing the enormous costs often associated with defamation proceedings.

Ms Reynolds’ defamation case centers on social media posts fired by Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz.

She claims the messages implied she pressured Ms Higgins not to proceed with a complaint to police about her alleged rape, and interfered with Mr Lehrmann’s criminal trial.

Ms Higgins is also accused of breaching a non-disparagement clause in a settlement contract she entered into in 2021, which prevents her from speaking negatively about Ms Reynolds.

The senator is seeking higher damages, an injunction to restrain Ms. Higgins from publishing allegedly defamatory material, and another injunction to restrain her from breaching the settlement agreement.

Ms Reynolds is simultaneously suing Mr Sharaz separately alleging he defamed her in five social media posts, which were allegedly ‘falsely defamatory’ and caused her ‘loss and damage’.

Ms Higgins alleged Lehrmann raped her at Parliament House in 2019, on the sofa of their former boss, Ms Reynolds. Mr. Lehrmann has consistently denied the allegations.

Linda Reynolds’ defamation lawsuit against Brittany Higgins and her fiancé David Sharaz failed to reach a settlement on their first day of mediation, raising the likelihood that they would go to trial.

The Liberal senator had a mediation session with the couple at the WA Supreme Court on Tuesday to try to resolve the differences.

Still, after nine hours of talks, the parties failed to reach an agreement.

There will be a strategic conference on Wednesday at 2.30pm and a trial is expected to take place in July, which could last up to six weeks.

Linda Reynolds left the court with her lawyer Martin Bennett and her partner Robert Reid.

“Long day,” she told the waiting media.

“It’s still ongoing, so it’s not appropriate for me to comment on it yet.”

Ms Higgins wore a $1,300 cornflower blue ‘Ahana dress’ with long sleeves and a belt, while her fiancé wore a $200 silk knit tie and cream Ralph Lauren blazer as they burst into the building before Ms Reynolds arrived on Tuesday morning .

Ms Higgins told the media Perth was “beautiful” but a difficult place to return to. The last time she was with Senator Reynolds in Perth was in 2019, weeks after her alleged rape, when she was a member of the then minister’s staff.

However, outside court on Tuesday, Ms Higgins said she believes “everyone is acting in good faith”.

The mediation talks took so long that the guards had left and closed the revolving doors as all parties left the court.

The mediation session took place after Judge Marcus Solomon urged the parties to resolve the issue before going to trial, citing the enormous costs often associated with defamation proceedings.

Ms Reynolds’ defamation case centers on social media posts fired by Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz.

The senator is seeking higher damages, an injunction to restrain Ms. Higgins from publishing allegedly defamatory material, and another injunction to restrain her from breaching the settlement agreement.

The senator first threatened legal action in July last year, claiming she had been the target of “unwarranted criticism and abuse” since Ms Higgins went public with her rape allegations in 2021.

Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz moved permanently to France at the end of last year after buying a house near Bordeaux.

They had no plans to return to Australia, but had to go to court in Perth on Tuesday and Wednesday.

It comes just months after Ms Reynolds attempted to freeze Ms Higgins’ assets.

More to come.

EVERY parent wants the best start for their children and does everything they can to provide healthy meals, enough sleep and fun ways to explore the world around them.

An au par was shocked to discover how fun some extra-circular activities are while caring for two children in Paris.

Like many twenty-somethings, Rebecca Campos dreamed of living in the City of Love.

While the French capital is a world away from her native country Brazilthe young woman decided to apply for an exchange program abroad.

Unlike some programs that focus on study, this program offered her the opportunity to live in central Paris as long as she worked as a nanny for her host family.

Although she quickly adapted to the culture and work life, there was one thing Rebeca did not expect: how luxuriously these children lived.

While most kids are drawing on scrap paper, these little ones prefer patterned paper from the luxury brand Hermes (yes, you read that right).

She even filmed them playing on the floor, happily coloring in the famous monogrammed ‘H’, before turning it over to reveal the iconic horse and carriage logo.

With Hermes wallpaper costing around £455 for a 10 meter roll, the au par was more than a little shocked by the after-school activities and even joked in the caption that it was ‘very basic’.

Unsurprisingly, her video has gone viral on Tiktok, leaving over 2.5 million viewers similarly amazed.

“I’m dead,” one stunned Tikok user wrote, while another added: “But of course!! What else would they use? Printing paper?”

“This is an absolute waste money,” a third complained, with many suggesting the children were “probably fake babies.”

Others had a more relaxed attitude to the toddlers’ playtime, with many claiming that monogrammed paper was a wallpaper sample given out for free at the luxury store.

“Just for your information, the wallpaper samples are free,” one fashionista explained as the number of opinions continued to grow.

Another revealed they had an equally luxurious childhood and admitted they used the designer’s accessories to dress up.

Trying to laugh off their lavish youth, they confessed, “When I was little, we used Hermes scarves as superhero capes.”

It seems these experiences are not that uncommon for au pairs, with several nannies recalling how out of place they felt in the affluent homes.

“I was an au pair in a rich city in the United States USA. The money some families had was RIDICULOUS,” revealed a former nanny who emigrated from Britain.

Despite the child dropping out of school, another au par revealed that the family she worked for dressed their children in designer clothes every day.

“Not my children who wear Loro Piana when they go out every day,” they groaned while talking about the fashion brand.

To which Rebeca replied with a laughing emoji and wrote: “I don’t even know what Loro Piana is.”

Since playtime is so plentiful, we wonder what this child’s birthday is like.

Liam Payne and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy put on a sweet display as they arrived hand-in-hand at the Mert and Marcus party during Paris Fashion Week on Friday evening.

The 30-year-old singer pulled a serious expression as he arrived at the party in a stylish red leather jacket and matching red platform shoes.

Underneath, the former One Direction star opted for a polka dot button-up shirt and dark gray trousers as he turned heads in the slightly quirky ensemble.

Meanwhile, his girlfriend Kate, 24, showed off her enviable curves in a figure-hugging cream dress.

The influencer put on a very leggy show in the dress with a flowy skirt, as she completed the look with a pair of simple black heels.

The Queen met Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska at Clarence House, just days after the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Camilla, 76, was pictured placing her arm behind the back of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s wife as she led her down a hallway ahead of their meeting on Thursday morning.

The pair – who previously met in November 2022 at a reception at Buckingham Palace to raise awareness about violence against women – were photographed chatting as they sat in the Garden Room of the royal residence in London.

King Charles, who is undergoing ongoing treatment for cancer, remains in London but did not meet the First Lady on Thursday.

Ms Zelenska thanked the Queen for the King’s message of support to Ukraine on the second anniversary of the conflict – and said how much it had meant to her country.

Camilla shared what Britain thought about Ukraine as it marked this sad milestone. They also discussed the courage and resilience of Ukrainians and Britain’s determination to support the nation.

They are also believed to have discussed the impact of the war on women and children, the mental and physical scars it left, and how Britain can help care for them.

Ms Zelenska was a guest at the coronation of the King and Queen last May, representing her war-torn country alongside Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

She also attended the late Queen’s funeral and Camilla thanked Ms Zelenska for attending both services.

Camilla has been dubbed the ‘savior’ of the monarchy and has been praised for keeping ‘the show on the road’ during the King’s absence and while the Princess of Wales is recovering from abdominal surgery.

She led the royal family at the memorial service for King Constantine of Greece earlier this week, with the Prince of Wales also absent at the last minute due to an unexplained personal matter.

Camilla’s meeting with Ms Zelenska took place on the advice of the Foreign Office and lasted about 30 minutes, the palace said.

Thursday’s meeting comes after the king praised the “determination and strength” of the Ukrainian people in a message marking the second anniversary of the Russian invasion.

Charles, 75, said he is “very encouraged” by the efforts of Britain and its allies to support Ukraine “at this time of such great suffering and need.”

He said: “The determination and strength of the Ukrainian people continues to inspire as the unprovoked attack on their country, lives and livelihoods enters a third, tragic year.

“Despite the tremendous hardship and pain inflicted on them, Ukrainians continue to demonstrate the heroism with which the world so closely associates them.

‘They have true courage, despite indescribable aggression. I have felt this personally in the many meetings I have had with Ukrainians since the start of the war, from President Zelensky and Mrs Zelenska to new army recruits training here in Britain.

“I remain hugely encouraged that the UK and our allies continue to be at the forefront of international efforts to support Ukraine at this time of such great suffering and need.

“My heart goes out to all those affected, as I remember them in my thoughts and prayers.”

The king has undertaken many Ukraine-related engagements in Britain since the start of the war, including a visit to a training site for military recruits in Wiltshire.

He has met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky several times, including during his visit to Britain in February last year.

Earlier this month it was revealed that Charles had been diagnosed with a form of cancer, discovered while he was being treated in hospital for an enlarged prostate.

He has begun a schedule of regular treatments but has postponed all public duties and spent much of his time at the royal residence at Sandringham, Norfolk.
