News about Kristin Scott Thomas

First it was our kitchens, as we succumbed to the pleasure of a prissy sink skirt. Then our sitting rooms were taken over by Liberty prints, chintz and floral tea sets. Now Granny's favourite style has moved into our wardrobes, bringing prim-and-proper occasion dressing to the everyday. But forget moth-eaten tweeds, librarian twinsets and delicate strings of pearls. This is a modern-day manifestation of dressing for dinner - and everything else besides.

Chris Reilly may be late to the spy game, but he does know a great deal about the figures who live in the margins of society. They may be alcoholics and heroin users, down-and-outs, and broken soldiers, rather than suave and sophisticated James Bond styles. They are, however, just as adept as any nefarious agent at masking dark truths and concocing effective cover stories to shield their frailties from prying eyes. Reilly should know that he grew up surrounded by them.

Here's a spy who hasn't come in from the cold. Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, who has received critical esteem for her appearance as a hard-bitten MI5 No. 2 in Apple's Slow Horses, wore hat, scarf, and thick woolly jacket over her chunky winter jacket last week to finish last-minute Christmas shopping. Her gifts will be well wrapped up too, by the looks of it, as she was pictured with an armful of festive paper. The 63-year-old actress was buying supplies with her partner, journalist John Micklethwait, 61, with whom she created the new film North Star.

Jane Bond, Jemima, or even Janine, so the next actress to play Agent 007 will have to be female. If we leave it to men, the world is doomed. According to A-list espionage drama-comedy Slow Horses, male spies are losers (Apple TV+). You can barely trust them to cross the road, never mind a double-cross. But every woman is meant to be Bond - lightning reactions, ruthless wit, and a ferocious sex drive are among the reasons. Kristin Scott Thomas, MI5's chief, spits up one hapless male underling: "I want you to keep walking until you get to the sea, and if you get there, keep walking with your mouth open."

NOTEBOOK OF ALEXANDRA SHULMAN: My fourth proxy grandchild arrived last week. Proxy because none of the four children's parents are a child of mine, but not necessarily my ex-husband or my current partner. So while I am ecstatic over this new baby (a gorgeous little girl), it also feels like cheating to give the congratulations of others on'my' grandchild.' I am not really a grandparent because I am not really one. Modern maternity units, it appears, refuse to admit grandparents from the hospital, so the line to see the as-yet-unidentified newborn at the time she returned home was long. As much as I wanted to get a first glance, I felt as if I was depriving someone's - a blood connection - more valuable.

After the press night performance of the play, Lily James stunned as she joined Lyonesse co-star Kristin Scott Thomas at Browns in Covent Garden, London. When smiling alongside Kristin, 63, as they celebrated the event, the Pam & Tommy actress, 34, looked radiant in a pale green off-the-shoulder gown. She boosted her height with a pair of black stiletto heels and pulled her hair back into a neat updo to complete her look.

PATRICK MARMION (left) and Kristin Scott Thomas (right): Penelope Skinner's latest play, which opened in the West End last night, is almost sold out already. No surprise there. After all, Lily is the Queen Of The Bodice Ripper, bursting onto our screens as Lady Rose in Downton Abbey before being cast in War & Peace and playing Pamela Anderson in Pam & Tommy. Kristin is of course the legendary Ice Queen, with posh and frosty characters ranging from Fiona in Four Weddings And A Funeral to MI5 boss 'Lady Di' in Slow Horses on Apple TV+. However, although both actresses sprinkled stardust liberally throughout Skinner's play, I found the piece itself a curiously labored and lacklustre affair.

After their state visit in March was postponed due to widespread rioting throughout France, King Charles III (main) and Queen Camilla will dine in Paris tonight.

Dinny Hall, a jewellery designer, didn't think her company would survive the pandemic, but 2020 proved to be her best financial year of her life. Madonna was one of her first customers more than 35 years ago, and Naomi Campbell, Kristin Scott Thomas, Margot Robbie, and Liz Hurley all bought her jewelry. Donna Ferguson, the judge of BBC reality TV show All That Glitters: Donna Ferguson reveals that to survive as an entrepreneur, she has had to sell everything from her grandmother's jewelry to her penthouse apartment. With her company flourishing, she sells jewelry for up to £100,000 and claims that her company is worth millions of pounds.

They're tiny, rarely seen, and if you're one of the 20% of the British population that find particularly appealing, mosquitoes can ruin your summer. Scientists say it's simply luck that you get more bitten than others. The way we react to bites is also dependent on how our immune system reacts to the protein that triggers mozzies release. So how best to prevent bites? Here's a look at what happened when Claudia Connell turned herself into human bait in order to try out various repellents, gizmos, and gadgets...

The Marchioness of Bath, 37, looked alluring as she strutted in a strapless gown that trailed along the floor. The flattering dress showcased her toned upper body, highlighting her chic frame and slender silhouette. She paired the sheer pleated dress with black heels and a sparkly red flower necklace, matching stud earrings, and a bracelet. She was seen leaving the Chiltern Firehouse in Marylebone, a hotel and restaurant, where rooms range from £890 to a whopping £2,310, depending on when you stay.

The cast and crew of "The Crown" are taking a moment to mourn Queen Elizabeth II's death. According to writer Peter Morgan, the royal, who died on Sept. 8, will suspend production on its sixth season indefinitely. "The Crown" is a love letter to her, and I have little to add for now," he wrote. "I hope we will stop filming out of respect," says the filmmaker. Stephen Daldry, who supervised four episodes of "The Crown," told the journal that if the queen dies while the Netflix series was in production, it would halt filming for a respectable length of time. "No one of us knows when the time will come," he said in 2016. "It'd be a simple tribute and a mark of honor." She's a global celebrity, and that's what we should do. . . She's an extraordinary woman, and no one will be upset." When the sixth season of Netflix has been announced, it has not yet announced when it will be released. POPSUGAR reached out to Netflix for feedback, but did not receive a response right away.
