The stars were out in full force on Tuesday at the city’s hottest ticket, the Chanel Paris Fashion Week show at the Grand Palais.

And all eyes were on Penelope Cruz, 49, who took in the ’80s in a leather miniskirt suit that she wore with a beaded belt and a collared top.

She had a short, sharp bob, wore killer heels with an ankle strap and dark sunglasses as she waved to the crowd.

Of course, she had Chanel’s essential classic quilted bag in her hand.

She was in good company that day as Margaret Qualley, 29, was also in attendance, wearing a bouclé mustard long coat over a matching mini.

In a nod to times gone by, she wore Mary-Jane heels and knee-high black socks, completing her look with a side ponytail.

Zoey Deutch, 29, looked incredible with her short blonde pixie cut and a belted tweed coat worn as a dress.

The leggy lady wore sophisticated pumps and added some color to her look with a pink camellia brooch.

And Vanessa Paradis, 51, the muse of the late great fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld looked fantastic in a 70s style blouse and jeans.

Lagerfeld worked at Chanel until his death on February 19, 2019. That same day, the house appointed his longtime right-hand man, Virginie Viard, as its new artistic director.

Gigi Hadid, 28, stormed the somber-looking semi-circular runway in a very elegant black ensemble with chunky gold jewelry.

Chanel stuck to its signature classic styles, with lilac, black and white being the main color themes.

Elvis’ granddaughter Riley Keough, 34, wore a tweed jacket at the back over a printed dress.

She wore a chain belt to accentuate her waist and added some color to her ensemble with a red toiletry bag and a touch of ruby ​​red lipstick.

And the lining of her coat was red, which brought the color together nicely.

Riley signed on as the new face of Chanel in October, when Chanel confirmed that the actress will be part of its upcoming Spring 2024 campaign.

She was also in the City of Love in July when she attended Chanel’s haute couture show, while she also attended the brand’s 2023 cruise show in Los Angeles two months earlier.

She also has deeper ties to the fashion house, as she is close friends with longtime Chanel ambassador Kristen Stewart after they appeared together in “The Runaways.”

Kristen recently praised Riley, who appeared in “The Terminal List,” “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “American Honey,” among others.

In the September issue of Vanity Fair magazine, she said, “She’s the best at everything she’s done. Because she doesn’t act. She’s a solid sender.

“She’s always honest, and that’s a vulnerable place to put yourself.

“And I don’t mean that to disparage any project, but there are some actors who just can’t do anything uninteresting.”

Meanwhile, Riley previously described her own fashion sense as “malleable” and “inconsistent.”

Brittany Cartwright and her estranged husband Jax Taylor were seen reuniting for the first time since announcing their shock separation after four years of marriage on their joint podcast When Reality Hits.

Following her recent move out of their marital home in Sherman Oaks to a $15K-a-month rental property, just 12 minutes away from her ex, the father-of-one, 44, paid a visit to the 35-year-old reality star’s new digs as he picked up their son for some quality time. 

While the former SUR waitress lent a hand loading their little one into his car seat, an eyewitness told DailyMail.com that the former couple ‘appeared tense’ and ‘were not very chatty with each other.’ 

The insider described their exchange as brief and ‘business-like.’ 

When Taylor first arrived, Cartwright was seen taking out her trash while rocking a black denim jacket over a white and brown flannel shirt, black pants and white sneakers. 

Meanwhile, Taylor was dressed in merchandise promoting his Studio City bar, Jax’s, for the occasion.

His trip was short, as he only went inside the house for a half hour before emerging with Cartwright to load their son into a white Jeep. 

Later, Cartwright, who changed her clothes and went off to film a project at a studio in Burbank, was seen wearing a sweatshirt with the words ‘better days ahead’ emblazoned on the back. 

The duo met back up at her new rental when Taylor dropped off Cruz.

Cartwright was noticeably still wearing her wedding ring on both sightings.

Earlier in the day, Taylor was seen leaving their Valley Village home and heading to his bar on a red and black golf cart. 

He parked in a no-parking zone for the disabled, despite not appearing to have any injuries or disabilities. 

Taylor and Cartwright announced they currently separated and are ‘taking time apart’ after four years of marriage. 

Brittany announced the news this week on When Reality Hits, confirming: ‘Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.’ 

However, Brittany also later hinted that the ‘split’ could be temporary, as she asked fans to ‘pray for us,’ and added that she believes ‘everything will be just fine.’

Signs of their relationship trouble and marital woes will most likely unfold on their new reality show The Valley, which premieres on March 19. 

The beloved Bravo stars tied the knot in a fairy-tale themed wedding ceremony on June 2019 in Kentucky after a year-long engagement.

But it seems as though the fairy-tale is over, at least for now. 

‘Many of you guys have been asking me about Jax and I and our relationship,’ Brittany said in the podcast episode released Thursday.

The star – who shares a two-year-old son, Cruz, with Jax – added: ‘I just think it’s important to be real and honest with you guys because we’ve shared so much of our lives with you guys.’ 

Brittany then specifically referenced some issues the pair have been having.

‘On my last podcast I alluded to many marriages go through rocky times. Yes, marriages in general are very hard and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year.

Going on to suggest they’ve now temporarily split, she said: ‘Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.’

Admitting that the split is ‘still very hard to talk about’ she added that she is just ‘taking one day at a time.’

‘I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz,’ Brittany added.

Brittany and Jax began dating in 2015 after they met in Las Vegas, and their courtship was featured on their Bravo reality series Vanderpump Rules. 

In 2017, the pair split for awhile after it was publicly revealed that Jax slept with another woman.

He cheated on Cartwright with their co-star Faith Stowers.

While speaking about her decision to forgive him, she stated that she was ‘raised to be a good Christian woman’ and told friends she believed ‘everybody deserves’ a second chance on Vanderpump Rules. 

After reconciling off-camera and and on their Bravo series’ reunion show, Cartwright, who is 10 years his junior, told People they ‘weathered the storm.’ 

‘We’re still going through it … [but] we’re in a great place now — probably better than we’ve ever been,’ he said.

He proposed with a three-carat cushion-cut diamond ring. 

‘We are ENGAGED! What a way to start our summer and season 7!!’ she wrote in their engagement announcement on Instagram. ‘I am so happy, so in love, and so beyond excited for this next chapter of our lives! I can’t wait for all of you to see how he proposed! I am the happiest girl ever right now. Love can win!’ 

In a joint statement, they reflected on how they’ve ‘been through a lot together, the good and the bad — but’ claimed it ‘only brought’ them ‘so much closer together.’ 

‘We’re just so excited for our future together but right now we’re focused on planning everything — first up is our engagement party next month that we’ll be celebrating with our family and close friends!’ they exclaimed. 

Ultimately, they went on to get married in front of 240 guests just two years later. 

Following the birth of their baby boy, Jax gushed that fatherhood ‘changed’ his life.

‘I think becoming parents made us stronger too because I love seeing him as a dad,’ told People. ‘It just makes you love him more.’ 

Over the summer, they even told the outlet they were ‘definitely gonna have more kids.’ 

‘At least one more,’ he said. ‘We’re just really busy right now. It’s been a very busy summer. We’re very blessed.’ 

Jax even raved about his wife for being the ‘rock’ of their family.

‘I love her to death and I don’t know if I’d still be on this planet if it wasn’t for her to be honest. Her and my son, they kind of really saved me after my father died,’ he told the outlet. ‘I really owe my whole life to her.’ 

In March 2023, the couple hinted to some trouble in their relationship as she said they were ‘trucking through.’ 

At the time, Taylor noted their ‘good days’ and ‘bad days’ made their relationship stronger. 

‘I don’t believe in divorce. My parents didn’t get divorced,’ he told People. ‘I don’t believe in that. Marriage is work. I’m not saying every day is amazing.’

He added that he ‘honestly’ couldn’t imagine his ‘life with anybody else’ and assured fans they still had ‘a lot of fun with each other.’

David Beckham was spotted leaving Dignity Stadium in Carson, California, after failing to show up to celebrate his team’s stoppage-time equalizer.

The 48-year-old Inter Miami owner looked dapper in a navy blue suit with his team’s badge on the pocket, which he paired with a light blue shirt and tie.

The father of four was accompanied by two of his sons, Brooklyn, 24, and Cruz, 19, but two other children, Romeo, 21, and Harper, 12, appeared to be absent.

David was pictured watching the match from a box before leaving the stadium following the clash between LA Galaxy and Inter Miami.

David watched from a suite with Brooklyn and Cruz, as well as Hollywood stars Liv Tyler and Edward Norton. His other son Romeo did not appear to be present at the match.

Romeo announced on Instagram on Sunday that he had split from his girlfriend, Mia Regan, 21, saying they were better as friends.

It was noted that David during the match seemed to stop herself from celebrating afterwards Lionel Messi‘s dramatic equalizer against his former club LA Galaxy.

Messi rescued a point for Inter Miami on Sunday evening, scoring in stoppage time as Tata Martino’s side came from behind to draw 1-1 at Dignity Health Sports Park.

After Messi reversed a Jordi Alba putback, David’s box exploded with emotion as those around him were on their feet and celebrating with each other.

The goal ensured Miami maintained its undefeated start to the 2024 MLS season in front of a star-studded crowd.

But cameras showed David sitting down with a straight face as people next to him toasted Messi’s goal.

David spent five years as a Galaxy player between 2007 and 2012 and helped the club win two MLS Cups before leaving for Paris Saint-Germain.

Just hours before the match started, David was seen signing autographs, posing for photos and waving to fans of his former team.

Around him, stars from sports and showbiz descended on Dignity Health Sports Park to catch a glimpse of Messi and Miami.

Hollywood legend Halle Berry and her partner, singer-songwriter Van Hunt, were among the crowd for the MLS match, as was tennis icon Novak Djokovic.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion was seen on the sidelines before the match. So did several NFL stars, including Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua.

Nacua, who enjoyed a record-breaking rookie season in Los Angeles, posed for a photo next to Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid.

Both NFL players received personalized LA Galaxy jerseys, as did Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon.

Brengt turbulentie u angst?

Er is een soort hulp beschikbaar, in de vorm van ranglijsten die de meest turbulente luchthavens en routes ter wereld onthullen, waardoor nerveuze vliegers op zijn minst weten waar ze moeten vermijden.

De lijsten zijn opgesteld door de turbulentievoorspellingswebsite turbli.comwelke analyseerde meer dan 150.000 vluchtgegevens over lange en korte afstanden uit 2023 om de meest turbulente vliegroutes van vorig jaar te identificeren, en de meest schokkende luchthavens om naartoe en uit te vliegen.

Het gebruikte 'eddy dissipation rates' (EDR) om de routes te rangschikken. EDR meet de intensiteit van de turbulentie op een bepaalde plek: 0-20 is licht, 20-40 is matig, 40-80 ernstig en 80-100 is extreem.

De route van 1.184 mijl (1.905 km) van Santiago, Chili, naar de internationale luchthaven Viru Viru in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, werd gerangschikt als de meest turbulente ter wereld, met een EDR van 17,5. De op één na meest wankele sprong is de korteafstandssprong van 340 kilometer van Almaty in Kazachstan naar de hoofdstad Bishke (EDR 17,4).

Zes van de tien meest rotsachtige ritten ter wereld zijn routes in Japan en China. Turbli schrijft dit toe aan de hoge jetstream-activiteit in deze regio's die de lucht verstoort.

De ergste turbulentie in Europa in het algemeen werd ervaren op de 212 kilometer lange vliegroute van Milaan naar Genève (EDR 16,3) – gerangschikt als het vijfde meest turbulente traject ter wereld in het algemeen.

Vijf van de tien meest turbulente routes in Europa zijn vertrokken of geland in Zürich, waarbij de turbulentie van berggolven vanuit de Zwitserse Alpen waarschijnlijk verantwoordelijk is voor de sterke aanwezigheid op de lijst, aldus Turbli.

De rest van de top-10 Europa de ranglijst omvat Milaan – Zürich (tweede); Genève – Zürich (derde); Marseille – Zürich (vierde); Zgornji Brnik – Zürich (vijfde); Nice – Bazel (zesde); Nice – Zürich (zevende); Jerevan – Tbilisi (achtste); Bazel – Venezia (negende) en Frankfurt am Main – Caselle Torinese (10e).

Routes over de VS waren minder turbulent dan de slechtste Europese routes, waarbij de meest turbulente Amerikaanse etappe, de 441 mijl lange vlucht van Nashville naar Raleigh, een EDR van 14,7 scoorde. Dit zou de top tien op de Europese lijst niet doorbreken.

De rest van de ranglijst voor Amerika bestaat uit Charlotte – Pittsburgh (tweede); Denver – Puerto Vallarta (derde); New York – Raleigh/Durham (vierde); Warwick – Syracuse (vijfde); Atlanta – Dulles (zesde); Pittsburgh – Raleigh/Durham (zevende); New York – Portland (achtste); Boston – Syracuse (negende); en Boston-Philadelphia (10e).

Beneden de 450 mijl lange vlucht van Brisbane naar Sydney staat bovenaan de ranglijst van Oceanië, met een EDR van 15,3.

De rest van de top vijf voor Oceanië omvat Port Vila – Auckland (tweede); Melbourne – Sydney (derde); Port Vila – Brisbane (vierde); en Port Vila – Sydney (vijfde).

Als u zich vooral zorgen maakt over een ruwe landing of start, heeft Turbli ook de meest turbulente luchthavens ter wereld op een rij gezet.

Nummer één op de wereldwijde ranglijst is Santiago Chili, waar de EDR 17,1 bedraagt. Het schrijft dit meteorologische fenomeen toe aan de omringende Andes, die turbulentie in de berggolven veroorzaakt.

De rest van de top vijf op de ranglijst van de meest hobbelige mondiale luchthavens bestaat uit Natori, Japan (tweede); Wellington (derde); Sapporo, Japan (vierde) en Osaka (vijfde).

In Europa voert Wenen de ranglijst aan (EDR 14,8), gevolgd door Zürich, Marseille en Genève, terwijl in de VS Portland de meest wankele landingsbaan blijkt te zijn om op te stijgen (EDR 15,2), gevolgd door Denver (tweede); Las Vegas (derde); Vancouver (vierde); Salt Lake City (vijfde); Prins George (zesde); Calgary (zevende); Québec (achtste); Reno (negende); en Seattle (10e).

Op het zuidelijk halfrond is de Nieuw-Zeelandse luchthaven Wellington de meest turbulente van Oceanië, met een EDR van 16,3.

De berichtgeving van Turbli zal waarschijnlijk steeds relevanter blijken voor jetsetters, omdat de opwarming van de aarde volgens wetenschappers een toename van de ernst van de turbulentie heeft veroorzaakt.

Uit onderzoek van de Universiteit van Reading blijkt dat de turbulentie tijdens vluchten toeneemt, waarbij de ernstige turbulentie sinds 1979 met 55 procent is toegenomen.

U kunt uzelf echter troosten met de wetenschap dat hoewel turbulentie ongemakkelijk en beangstigend kan zijn, het uiterst onwaarschijnlijk is dat uw vliegtuig zal neerstorten.

Zoals een Dreamliner-kapitein voor lange afstanden die met MailOnline sprak, verklaarde: 'In termen van wat het met je zou kunnen doen, ja, het is onaangenaam, niemand houdt ervan om zo op en neer te worden geslingerd, of heel weinig mensen doen dat, maar het is niet onveilig. Vliegtuigen houden van vliegen, ze houden er niet van om uit de lucht te vallen, en je moet behoorlijk je best doen om ze dat te laten doen.'

Wat kan turbulentie met het casco doen?

Hij zei niets. Tegen de tijd dat het casco uiteenvalt, ben je sowieso dood.'

Hij onthulde dat piloten in principe vier opties hebben om met turbulentie om te gaan.

Hij zei: 'Je kunt erom grijnzen en het verdragen – het vliegtuig is ruimschoots in staat de belastingen te weerstaan ​​die gepaard gaan met turbulentie – hoewel ernstige turbulentie behoorlijk ongemakkelijk kan zijn en het beste vermeden kan worden voor het comfort van de passagiers. Je kunt proberen hoger te vliegen – als de prestaties van het vliegtuig dit toelaten – of lager – hoewel dit meer brandstof verbruikt en de zaken alleen maar erger kan maken.

'Je kunt vliegen met de penetratiesnelheid van de turbulentie van het vliegtuig – over het algemeen iets langzamer dan de normale kruissnelheid, of je kunt draaien om het gebied van turbulentie te vermijden als het lokaal is, zoals in de buurt van een onweersbui.'

Penelope Cruz stole the spotlight on Friday at the screening of her new film Ferrari in Los Angeles.

The 49-year-old Oscar nominee, who plays Italian carmaker Enzo Ferrari’s wife Laura Ferrari in the biopic, looked like she had stepped off the catwalk in her chic black top, matching leather jacket and flared jeans.

With a set of gold hoop earrings and black stiletto heels, the Volver alum added a modern twist to her style while keeping her signature brunette locks long and loose.

During the Q&A portion of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation event, all eyes were on Penelope as she sat in a director’s chair and answered questions from the audience.

The event took place a day after the Spanish star opened up about turning 50 in April 2024, and that’s telling AND“I really consider it the beginning of the second part of my life.”

She also joked that she might not be “happy” about the use of AI in film, but “it could be beneficial to keep her around ‘much longer’ as she spends time with her children and future grandchildren,” the outlet said.

Meanwhile, Ferrari gives the actress another chance to develop her drama skills.

Penelope explained why she decided to play the Laura character rich“When I did my research, a lot of people told me she had mental problems, that she was just hiding at home, that she was crazy – she had nothing to do with the company.”

She noted, “And the more I would read about her, the more these comments would enrage me.”

“She is much more important to the family than people knew or wanted to know,” the actress added.

She also revealed them found visiting the apartment where her Ferrari character lived incredibly painful.

But Cruz noted that grief helped her understand Laura better for the biopic because it told her how the woman felt after the end of her marriage to Enzo Ferrari and the death of her son Dino.

She told Empire magazine: ‘It was a lot of colors that were supposed to be happy, but for me it had a very sad energy.

“I started crying when I realized what it would be like for this woman to spend so much time hiding in that room, missing her son and missing what she had in that relationship with Enzo.”

She told me too Entertainment weekly: ‘Nobody knew about Laura. That’s why we started doing research together. We ended up looking for people who knew her, even talking to strangers on the street, because very little was written about her.

“There was no video or audio of her, nothing.”

The actress was surprised that “all I heard about her was that she was difficult, that she was a witch.

‘People were afraid of her. So I said, “We have to dig deeper and see who this woman really was.” It became a personal need for Michael [Mann] and that I would give her a voice.’

Victoria Beckham shared an intimate family moment with her fans on Saturday as she posed for a number of festive snaps with her loved ones.

The fashion designer, 49, shared a photo on Instagram of herself posing arm-in-arm with her husband David, 48.

In the photo they were dressed up, with former Spice Girl Victoria looking relaxed in a dressing gown, while David donned pajamas.

Former footballer David could be seen holding a glass of wine in one hand as he rested his arm over Victoria’s shoulder, while the pair both wore Santa hats as they posed in front of their Christmas tree in Miami, Florida.

In another photo, they posed with their sons Cruz, 18, and Brooklyn, 24, as well as daughter Harper, 12, and Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz, 28.

Victoria sent her love to her other son Romeo, 21, who wasn’t pictured, writing: ‘Santa came to Miami early!!! I love you all so much xxxx @davidbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @cruzbeckham @nicolaannepeltzbeckham #harperseven we miss you @romeobeckham xx.”

It comes after Victoria shared an insight into her family’s festive getaway after the world’s most famous clan flew to the Bahamas for Christmas.

On Thursday, the pop star turned fashion designer took to Instagram to share a stunning video featuring a montage of the group’s family antics.

Together with her husband David, their children Brooklyn, Cruz, Harper and Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, Victoria had the time of her life.

Notably absent was their son Romeo, who Victoria mentioned in her caption, writing: ‘Fun in the Bahamas!! We miss you so much @romeobeckham x love you so much,” tagging the rest of the guests.

The holiday had everything you’d expect from a £372million patriarch, with the group having fun on a yacht, speeding around the island in a buggy, drinking from personalized cups and dancing on the beach.

David was at the wheel during the trip, as the sportsman drove his family around in a buggy as a plane flew overhead.

During the buggy ride, Harper held her hand over her mouth to expose her full set of acrylic nails, complete with a French tip design.

She was also seen in the video walking along the seafront in a trendy bandana-style top with shorts, showing that she has adopted her mother’s legendary fashion sense.

Showing off his own legendary football skills, David was seen kicking a ball at the boat’s helm while Victoria sat behind the camera.

With his status as an aspiring chef, Brooklyn took to the grill where he was preparing delicious cuts of steak for his famous family.

The entire clan then headed into the ocean, where they appeared to be swimming with creatures and using snorkels to get full visibility.

Known for their amorous expressions, Brooklyn wrote his wife’s initials in the sand inside a heart while they also danced together.

He then ventured up a tree, apparently looking for coconuts, but fell dramatically at the end of the video.

Earlier this week, in the middle of their outing, Nicola and her sister-in-law Harper showed off their best pouts on Instagram.

The actress is known to be close to the pre-teen and they often pose together, with their friendship developing in the wake of Nicola’s now-resolved feud with Victoria.

Following Nicola and Brooklyn’s wedding in 2022, it was claimed a ‘full cold war’ had broken out between the duo, with insiders saying: ‘They can’t stand each other and aren’t talking. The run-up to the wedding was terrible.’

The couple never spoke out about the issue, but it seems there was a resolution as they are now often seen in each other’s company
