Noomi Rapace sat next to Juliette Binoche in the front row at the Alexander McQueen Paris Fashion Week show on Saturday evening.

Swedish actress Noomi, 44, went goth for the occasion in a stylish black leather mini dress with dramatic shoulder pads and oversized sleeves.

She completed the look with a quirky metal choker and tucked her feet into a pair of chunky ankle boots.

Meanwhile, Oscar winner Juliette, 59, opted for a chic cream suit which she wore over a white satin shirt.

The French stunner accentuated her age features with glamorous makeup and wore her brunette locks in loose waves.

Noomi’s new space-based Apple TV+ series Constellation is so sinister that even the showrunner would politely decline an invitation for an intergalactic voyage.

The eight-part psychological thriller, created and written by Peter Harness, follows astronaut Jo, played by Noomi, who returns to Earth after a disaster in space, only to discover that important pieces of her life are missing.

The action-packed series explores the dark edges of human psychology and follows one woman’s quest to uncover the truth about the hidden history of space travel in an effort to regain everything she has lost.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Peter revealed the story that inspired the plot, while also admitting that he is so scared of space that he would only consider jumping aboard a rocket if his days were numbered.

“I was once on vacation in a cabin in the Swedish woods, and as night fell, we heard a little girl in the woods calling for her mother,” he said of how he was inspired to create the plot.

‘It was very creepy and a bit weird, and we didn’t know where it came from. And we never found out where it came from.

“But a few nights in a row we heard this sound and I always thought I should write something about this little girl who was lost in the forest in Sweden.

“And when I was asked if I wanted to write something about astronauts and what it’s like for them to return to Earth, I wanted to address how challenging that is.

“I have a mother who is stuck out there in space trying desperately to reach her daughter. And for some reason that daughter was the little girl who got lost in the woods… and I had to write for the show to get them back.”

Oppenheimer actor James D’Arcy plays Jo’s husband Magnus, who desperately tries to understand his wife’s altered mental state after her return to Earth.

James admitted he was stunned after reading the entire script in one sitting – and hinted audiences will be hooked.

“When I first read the script, I read all eight episodes in one day and when I got to the end my head exploded,” he told DailyMail.com.

‘I realized I had just read something truly unique, it defies description: it’s a science fiction, but it’s a thriller, but it’s a conspiracy drama, but it’s also a family affair.

‘What I loved about it was, even with this huge epic scope, that at the heart of it was this deep meditation on the nature of being human and dealing with reality.

“I really resonated with that, especially since the pandemic, where reality feels very loose.

“Peter Harness, who I think is a genius, has written this series that tackles all those big questions, but does it in the most entertaining way.”

The Duchess of Edinburgh again showed her support for British sport on Friday when she attended the British Cycling National Track Championships in Manchester.

Sophie, 59, patron of the British Cycling Federation – the organization that runs the National Track Championships – was seen speaking to athletes and staff on the first day of the competition.

Wearing sporty stripes under a smart navy blazer from British fashion house Alexander McQueen – on sale for £1,990 on the Harrods website – the royal was certainly dressed for the occasion.

The mother of two wore a camel cashmere sweater with red horizontal stripes from American brand Frame, which she paired with navy blue cropped trousers and light brown leather boots from Prada.

She completed the look with a brown studded bag from French designer Isabel Marant.

Sophie kept her makeup simple and wore her hair up, revealing a pair of Tiffany & Co. earrings with the yellow birthstone Citrine.

At the event, which brought together Britain’s top cyclists including Olympians, Paralympians and world champions, Sophie was photographed chatting to Scottish cyclist Jack Carlin, who took both a silver and bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

She was also seen chatting to youngster Harry Radford, a track sprinter and part of the Great Britain Cycling Team, as well as event staff from the National Cycling Center in Manchester.

The royal was joined by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the pair were even spotted trying out adaptive cycles together.

Edward, 59, paired his wife with a relaxed formal ensemble, opting for a sage green blazer, cornflower blue shirt and navy trousers.

Sophie, patron of more than 70 charities and organizations, supports a wide range of projects and charities.

As patron of the London College of Fashion (LCF), she visited the university’s new East Bank campus in Stratford’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park last week.

There she tried out a virtual mirror that allows people to see what they would look like in countless different outfits, without having to change clothes. She showed her adventurous side when she opted for a fluorescent pink baseball jacket.

The royal beamed as she saw what she looked like in her new trendy clothes on a computer screen.

During the day, Sophie also met Filip Gesse, a postgraduate costume designer, and viewed his avant-garde creations.

Sophie appeared cheerful as she chatted with Filip about his innovative designs.

The Duchess also admired a unique piece called The Monster Project by Emily Amanda Higgins.

Sophie admired the striking bright pink image and ran her fingertips over the varied textures.

The presentation took place at an invitation-only event. However, in addition to the exclusive presentation, an immersive exhibition will be open to the public at LCF’s East Bank Campus from February 12 to March 9.

The Princess of Wales looked suitably regal in a rich royal blue as she celebrated Christmas Day at Sandringham with the extended Windsor family yesterday.

Holding daughter Charlotte’s hand during the walk to the annual Christmas Day service at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Kate’s centerpiece was a long Alexander McQueen coat with fabulously structured shoulders and a cinched waist. Simple, stylish, elegant… We expect nothing less.

She paired this with a navy turtleneck jumper, custom ‘Glen 85’ suede knee-high boots from Gianvito Rossi worth £1,180 and a custom matching royal blue headpiece. The dramatic pillbox-style felt hat, designed by London-based milliner Juliette Botterill, was adorned with an elegant, stylized bow and crossed feather embellishment.

The look was completed with her paired sapphire drop and diamond earrings from the jewelry collection of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

It was the queen of tonal dressing at her best.

Kate, who has been known to wear the same clothes in different colours, also owns a green version of this beautiful Alexander McQueen coat and a black version of the hat, which she wore to the St David’s Day Parade in March this year the Welsh Guard.

Kate has adhered to the formal Christmas dress code since she first joined the family at Sandringham in 2011, the same year she married Prince William at Westminster Abbey. On that first occasion, she wore a maroon coat dress and matching hat by Jane Corbett.

In the twelve years since, this formula of a tailored jacket with a matching headpiece has been refined and iterated and this is perhaps the strongest version yet.

Her family coordinated their outfits this year. The future king and his eldest son, ten-year-old George, were also dressed in blue, while eight-year-old Princess Charlotte wore a fern green double-breasted coat with a velvet collar – similar to the color her mother wore last year. – with navy blue tights and matching flats.

Meanwhile, little Prince Louis, five, tied the family together with the most festive outfit of all: a navy pea coat over green and blue tartan trousers, £60 from Trotters – a change from his usual shorts and knee socks.

He admirably grabbed the hand of his older cousin Mia Tindall, nine, also on her way to the service with her parents, Zara and Mike Tindall, and sister Lena, five.

The Prince and Princess of Wales weren’t the only ones coordinating. The King and Queen wore complementary colours, with Camilla wearing a beige long Anna Valentine coat that we’ve seen before. She wore a blue silk paisley dress, accessorized with beige boots and a Philip Treacy hat with feather detail. The king mirrored her with a classic camel coat.

The always elegant Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, was seen in a coat dress by Claire Mischevani, a British designer who has become a firm favorite among the royals.

Sophie’s tweed piece is an adaptation of a khaki crepe design – also with a tie-detail neckline – available online for £1,145. A fantastically festive choice, topped off with a £95 Hicks & Brown fedora.

For the second year in a row, Andrew, the disgraced Duke of York, walked to church with the family. His ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, joined him in public at Sandringham for the first time in years. She walked alongside her ex-husband in Holland Cooper’s Dowdeswell coat, £799, in emerald green, a traditional choice for the Sandringham tableware, paired with ankle boots and a matching jeweled clutch.

The Princess of Wales looked effortlessly chic as she joined Prince William, the King and the rest of the royal family at Christmas Day Church service in Sandringham in today.

Kate, 41, beamed alongside her children Prince Louis, five, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince George, 10, in a blue Alexander McQueen coat and customised Gianvito Rossi ‘Glen 85’ boots as she made her way to St Mary Magdalene Church on the Norfolk Estate.

Holding hands with Princess Charlotte, Kate beamed as she walked past well-wishers

Adding a touch of glam to the festive look, Diana paid a sweet tribute to her mother-in-law by wearing a pair of Princess Diana’s earrings.

She has been worn the dazzling earrings on a number of high profile occasions. 

A wedding present from Crown Prince Fahd, Princess Diana’s ‘The Saudi Suite’ set includes a sapphire watch, earrings, bracelet, ring and necklace.

Diana, who famously loved sapphires, wore the entire set to a Brisbane state reception in 1983, but also experimented with each item separately.

The earrings contained detachable sapphire drops, which Diana removed before wearing the resultant chunky studs, each surrounded by ten round diamonds, to mark Harry’s birth in 1985.

When William gave them to Kate after their engagement in 2010 she too put her own stamp on them, refashioning them into modest drop earrings.

Kate, who is known to wear the same clothes in several colours, also owns a green version of the Alexander McQueen coat, which she wore on a trip to Boston.

She paired the look with a festive fascinator, navy polo neck and midi crimped skirt.

Hundreds of well-wishers have been queuing since the early hours to catch a glimpse of the royals, and waved excitedly as Charles and Camilla made their way to the church. 

Meanwhile, Prince Harry has remained in the US with Meghan and their two children Archie and Lilibet – despite recent hopes of a thaw in relations between King Charles and his youngest son. 

The royal festivities usually start when everyone arrives on Christmas Eve. The family open presents, some of which are gag gifts – one of the Royal Family’s traditions. 

The family then attend services at Saint Mary Magdalene Church on Christmas morning.  Once they get home Christmas lunch is served, followed by afternoon games. 

Last Christmas the royals experienced their biggest change for decades as they celebrated their first festive period without Queen Elizabeth II, who had passed away just a few months earlier.

Elsewhere, Prince Louis sweetly held hands with his second cousin Mia Tindall, nine,  as he joined the rest of the royal family at Sandringham on Christmas Day.

Little Louis, five, was joined by Prince George, 10,  Princess Charlotte, eight, as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham for Christmas.

Mia’s sister Lena, five, walked behind the Wales’ holding hands with her parents Zara and Mike. Her younger brother Lucas, two, stayed at home.

Holding hands with her mother, Princess Charlotte looked festive in a bottle green coat with her hair tied back into plaits.

Meanwhile, George, walking solo, appeared very grown up in a smart suit.

Louis meanwhile held hands with both Prince William and Mia Tindall, the daughter of William’s cousin Zara. 

Adorable Prince Louis – who often steals the limelight with his cheeky displays – took part in his first ever Christmas Day walkabout last year. 

Today, he opted for tweed trousers and a navy coat.

Joining the king and queen was the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Zara and Mike Tindall and Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stayed in California. 

The Princess of Wales beamed with happiness as she walked to the service alongside her husband, ahead of the other members of the Royal Family. 

She looked elegant in her festive get-up as she waved to the well-wishers who have travelled to Norfolk today. 

Hundreds of well-wishers have been queuing since the early hours to catch a glimpse of the royals, and waved excitedly as the King and Queen Consort made their way to the church.  

Prince Harry has remained in the US with Meghan and their two children Archie and Lilibet – despite recent hopes of a thaw in relations between King Charles and his youngest son. 

The royal festivities usually start when everyone arrives on Christmas Eve. The family open presents, some of which are gag gifts – one of the Royal Family’s traditions.

Last Christmas the royals experienced their biggest change for decades as they celebrated their first festive period without Queen Elizabeth II, who had passed away just a few months earlier. 

The King and Queen, along with the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, waved to well-wishers while attending a Christmas Eve service at the church on Sunday.

Royal Christmases traditionally feature the greeting of people outside the church, and a family lunch with turkey and all the trimmings.

For the second year in succession the disgraced Duke of York walked from Sandringham to church with the family.

Andrew’s alleged links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will come under further scrutiny in the new year with the release of hundreds of files from a defamation case, after a ruling by a US judge.

His ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York appeared in public at Sandringham for the first time in years, walking beside her ex-husband and smiling broadly at the press.

Andrew’s daughters were with their husbands, Princess Beatrice with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Prince Eugenie with Jack Brooksbank.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh joined the rest of the royals on their way to the church. The Duchess of Edinburgh wore a bespoke version of the Claire Mischevani Kristen coat.

Charles’s second Christmas message as monarch will be broadcast at 3pm, and this year it was recorded in the Centre Room in Buckingham Palace which leads on to the royal residence’s iconic balcony.

The room is decorated with a living Christmas tree which will be replanted after the broadcast.

From its branches hang natural and sustainable decorations including hand-turned wood, dried oranges, glass baubles, pine cones and paper.

Charles, like Queen Elizabeth II, writes his Christmas broadcasts and last year he followed his mother’s well-established template, a personal reflection on the year, touching on current issues and with a Christian framework.

The King will give his second annual King’s speech, with a focus on the environment.

It marks a turn away from typically apolitical speeches given by his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth. 

The Princess of Wales led the glamour on the final day of Royal Ascot 2023 as members of the royal family arrived at the Berkshire racecourse.

Looking stunning in a scarlet Alexander McQueen dress and a Philip Treacy hat in a matching shade, Kate, 41, smiled at crowds as she arrived in the carriage procession alongside Prince William, also 41. 

The mother-of-three tied her hair back into a sleek bun and opted for fabulous statement gold earrings from Sézane, which she has worn before.

As she looked elegant in the A-line red frock, the mother-of-three paired her dress with a red clutch bag from Hermes and red suede pumps. 

Joining the Prince and Princess of Wales in the second carriage in the royal procession was Princess Beatrice, 34, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 39.

The foursome arrived in the second carriage in the procession, which followed King Charles and Queen Camilla with the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. 

As the Princess opted for the scarlet frock, she deviated from previous Ascot looks, where she has typically opted for pastel colours in more muted tones. 

It’s the first time William and Kate have attended the event since the death of the Queen in September – who was often dubbed Royal Ascot’s ‘biggest fan’.

During her 70-year reign, Her late Majesty attended almost every single Royal Ascot festival, with the exception of last year where she couldn’t attend due to mobility issues.

The king has a horse racing today, yesterday he shed a tear when he secured his first ever Ascot win.

The royal couple were overcome with emotion as they watched their horse Desert Hero win the King George V race from the royal box, after two losses.

Throughout the week Princess Anne, Princess Beatrice and Mike and Zara Tindall have also been spotted enjoying the races.

The King’s cousins – Earl Snowdon and Sarah Chatto – also joined the royal procession yesterday. 

Elsewhere, many revellers donned their finery to celebrate in the glorious June sun.

High heels and fascinators were a common theme with guests, who opted for colourful dresses and full glamour. 

Many female racegoers opted to make the most of the relaxed rules – which allows people to dress from the male or female dress code regardless of their gender – opting for bright trouser suits. 

Last night revellers looked worse for wear this evening as they left the Berkshire racecourse after hours of partying.

Earlier in the day, glamorous guests had dressed themselves up to the nines to attend the event, which is considered to be the crown jewel in the racing calendar.

While its competitors Cheltenham, Epsom and Aintree have ditched their dress codes , Ascot still has a fairly strict clothing policy.

Having made it past security in high heels this morning, racegoers were pictured giving their feet a break as they left the premises in flip flops.

David Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linely, also known as Earl Snowdon, is the son of the late Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon. 

His sister, Lady Sarah Chatto and her husband Daniel Chatto joined the procession too, alongside Lord Nicolas Soames, a former Conservative MP and grandson of Winston Churchill.

Camilla’s family – including her sister, ex sister-in-law and ex-husband have also been spotted at the races. 

This year, organisers have displayed a heartwarming collection of photos of the Queen visiting Ascot over the years.

They include a black-and-white photo of the royal riding on the tracks in 1960 when she was 34 years old. 

The mother-of-four was pictured with a headscarf and riding boots on as her horse galloped along the track.

The Queen was taking part in an unofficial race with other members of her royal party and ended up finishing fourth. 

What’s more, the organisers also selecting a photograph of the Queen beaming at Ladies Day in 2013. 

The event turned out to be one of the Queen’s most successful Ascots as her horse Estimate won the Gold Cup – making her the first monarch in 200 years to scoop the prize.

The late royal was pictured beaming at her trophy, which was presented to her by her son Prince Andrew. 

The Queen was dressed in one of her signature coat dresses in a pretty shade of purple. 

Underneath her jacket, the monarch wore a pretty floral dress – which perfectly complimented the flowers on her hat. 

In the image, the Queen is seen wearing a three-strand pearl necklace – which she also wore to her final ever Ascot in June 2021.
