News about Sofia Coppola

As pole vaulter Alysha Newman (left) cleared the bar to win an Olympic bronze, I was fascinated just as much by her eye-catching ruby red lipstick as by her staggering athleticism. Ditto the deep plum lip colour worn by Ukrainian high jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh. And while watching Brit Keely Hodgkinson (right) celebrate her 800 metres gold, it was also her immaculate purple nails that caught my attention. I can make these observations, I hope, without in any way detracting from their breathtaking physical achievements.

Hollywood has long been hit out for its harbouring of nepo babies landing hit roles - but children of the rich and famous have been all over the airwaves too. A flurry of new singers hitting the scene include Star Wars director JJ Abram's daughter Gracie, 24, who has already recorded a song with Taylor Swift - and the heiress to an oil tycoon's fortune, Ivy Getty (centre right). Elsewhere, Sofia Coppola's 17-year-old daughter has also just recently launched a music career (left) - while the late Princess Diana 's nephew, 20, is trying to make it big as a DJ (centre left). Paul Mescal's musician sister (right) has also spoken about her famous brother.

The DVLA's registration plate timed auction runs 24-30 July with a spread of plates celebrating this summer of sport, music and pop culture offering returns on investment. Private number plates have become hot commodities in recent years, with the sector valued at over £2 billion as of 2023, with some plates reaching into the 10s of millions.

In an interview with The Times, Mathilde Favier, 54, (pictured) said that it's a 'big lie' to suggest that the quintessential European glamour so many strive towards isn't hard work. 'It's never effortless,' she said. 'Some people are so charming, they make it look effortless. But if somebody very thin is saying to you, "Oh, it's funny, actually I eat a lot," it's never true. They are always very careful; they eat the right things. Life is an effort. When you make some, life is more beautiful and special.'

Is there any point in a luxury lip balm when there are products for under £10 that'll do the same thing? It might hasten your response if I told you that I've  tried pretty much every balm on the market and while the expensive ones feel luxurious and look great in my handbag, they don't radically or permanently transform my cat's-bottom mouth.

Elle Fanning looked absolutely radiant on Thursday night as she joined stars at the House of Suntory celebration of Roku Gin's new campaign vignette directed by Sofia Coppola. For the new promotional collaboration Fanning once again serves as acclaimed filmmaker Coppola's muse after previously working together on two feature films in the last 15 years. For the special event, Fanning stunned onlookers in a vintage John Galliano slip dress that featured feminine floral embroidery.

Amid talk of culling what are described as 'Mickey Mouse' degrees, none of us can tell what form of knowledge will stand in good stead in years to come. In fact, perhaps we should be expanding the choice of education. An example: Last weekend I stayed with friends in the barn they have lovingly restored in Devon, complete with babbling brook, wildflower meadows, roaming cows happily munching grass and woodpeckers dangling from bird-feeders. At every turn, my hosts' expertise shimmered. They could identify every birdsong, name every flower, explain the intricacies of stonewall building - all complete mysteries to us urbanites. They don't have degrees in horticulture or agriculture but have taught themselves a huge amount about the natural world.

ALEXANDRA SHULMAN'S NOTEBOOK: Amid talk of culling what are described as 'Mickey Mouse' degrees, none of us can tell what form of knowledge will stand in good stead in years to come.

She was dubbed the 'ultimate nepo baby' after sending the internet into meltdown by trying to charter a helicopter with her dad's credit card (right). Now Sofia Coppola's daughter Romy (inset left with her mother) is launching a music career after appearing on the Cannes red carpet with her famous grandfather Francis Ford Coppola (centre) this week. She's also hung out with Jacob Elordi (bottom right) after he started in her mother's film Priscilla.

Kirsten Dunst has announced that she will never have Botox, fillers, or facial surgery because she'd rather not have my face and look like a freak.' Despite a previous Spider-Man producer urging her to have her teeth straightened, the actress, 41, stars in the current issue of GQ Hype. "No, I like my teeth," I was like. I was never that girl. I never did it,' Kirsten says, before blaming Sofia Coppola, who starred her in The Virgin Suicides when she was 16 and saying, "You're fantastic as you are" in guiding her decision to embrace her natural beauty.

My source tells me that the trip was hoped to take part of Biden's trip to Europe in June to attend the G7 summit in Italy, with time running out before November's presidential race. However, there is a snag. The Palace intends that the visit take place pre-G7 and not afterwards. Why? Because it clashes with Royal Ascot, the King seems determined to maintain his late mother's high attendance records. Don't tell Sleepy Joe!

Priscilla Presley is best known for her iconic fashion and beauty sense, in addition to being Mrs. Elvis Presley. Many people adored her black bouffant hairstyle to her long black shaped nails, exaggerated winged eyeliner, and ladylike dresses in her signature style. And since the debut of 'Priscilla' (a biographical drama film written, directed, and produced by Sofia Coppola), she's inspired a whole new generation.

During a recent interview with Sofia Coppola, she discussed her unrealized adaptation of Edith Wharton's book The Country Of The Country. Since May of 2020, the 52-year-old filmmaker had been working on a series based on the book, it was supposed to be available to viewers on Apple's TV+ website. The director, who recently spoke about her'magical' childhood with her father Francis, had her venture die in the early months of 2021, and she has since admitted that finding out about the show's demise was a'real drag.'

When a young Australian named Jacob Elordi walked through the door of a Los Angeles restaurant, movie producer Sofia Coppola had yet to cast the main role of Elvis Presley in her eagerly awaited film Priscilla. He was in for his first interview with the award-winning producer, but Coppola couldn't help but notice how his 6ft 5in-frame, razor-sharp bone structure, and rippling physique attracted the attention of nearly every female in the region. 'There were some girls there, and you could just tell them all turn to him.' He's striking,' Sofia recalled recently,'s so tall.' He just has a charisma; he has an effect on women that I imagine was similar to Elvis.'

A24 has firmly established itself as a powerhouse in the film industry, and now the company is set on destroying the world of merchandise. Following the success of cult films such as Aftersun, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Ex Machina, and Netflix's hit thriller Beef, the American film production company has had a fruitful few years. Following the success of these films and TV shows, the brand has started making merchandise based on their creations, and the pieces are selling out at a much cheaper price than streetwear brands. (The right and top inset is merch for Priscilla, and A24's playing cards are shown below.) (Imaged left is A24's children's merch range, the left and top inset is a merchandise, and A24's bottom inset is A24's playing cards.)

Sofia Coppola demonstrated the importance of her career as a director with the unveiling of her first book, which was attended by a crowd of A-list celebrities she has worked with. Coppola, 52, has made a legendary film in the Bulgaria Coppola Archive, giving a look at the inside workings of her impressive repertoire over the past three decades. The book includes candid photos from her personal collection of some of her best films, including The Virgin Suicides with Kirsten Dunst, Lost in Translation with Bill Murray, and her latest blockbuster Priscilla.

Samuel Fishwick says the truth about being married to the king of rock 'n' roll is finally laid bare in cinemas with the widely awaited biopic Priscilla.

BRIAN VINER: Elvis Presley sang it best: 'We're trapped in a trap, I can't walk out because I love you too much, baby'. Suspicious Minds' opening lyrics were not a remark on his 1968 hit Suscilla Beaulieu's friendship with the former Priscilla Beaulieu's that had started when he was 24 years old and she was 14 years old. But they may have been able to be. Sofia Coppola's film Priscilla begins in West Germany in 1959, where Elvis, like Priscilla's stepfather, is stationed with the US military. Priscilla (nicely played by Cailee Spaeny) is invited to a party at his Presley home after one of his acolytes spots her sipping Coke at a counter. To, yes, suspicious minds, this looks grimly like the sexual procurement of a minor, especially when an evidently bewitched Elvis (a well-cast Jacob Elordi ) invites her upstairs and asks her a rhetorical question: 'Where have you been all mah life?' It is only in the audience that the obvious non-rhetorical response occurs: she wasn't alive for more than half of it.

The magic of Megeve, which was just a medieval French Alpine village when its cobbled streets caught Baroness Noemie de Rothschild's eye a century ago. It has been in demand with successive generations of Rothschilds, as well as, more recently, with Russian oligarchs and Saudi princes, not to mention the Duchess of York, who has thrashed its slopes from time to time. However, one habitue warns me that Earl and Countes Cowley, who own the opulent six-bedroom, five-bathroom Chalet Valentine on Mont d'Arbois, is now out of reach. 'It's dripping with cash.'

The actress, 26, wowed in a chic blue halterneck gown with a chunky belt that cinched in her waist. At the celebration which took place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, she boosted her height in matching heels.

At the 3rd Annual Academy Museum Museum Of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, there was no shortage of actor talent. This year, Meryl St. Jordan, Creed actor and producer Michael B. Jordan, Lost In Translation filmmaker Sofia Coppola, and media mogul Oprah Winfrey were among the recipients of this year's fundraising. Many celebrities were able to help with the case and attend the red carpet portion of the celebration. Chrissy Teigen was one of the celebrity popstars to lend their assistance for the cause and take part in the red carpet portion of the evening. In a golden sheer gown with plunging and raised neckline wrapped around her back and a train following her, the model and television actress strutted her stuff. The unusual number had a slit along the left side, allowing her to show her legs at any given moment.

On Sunday, Dua Lipa and Natalie Portman led the performers in Los Angeles' third annual Academy Museum Gala. The songstress, 28, and the Black Swan actress, 42, put on daring shows in chic, sheer dresses as they joined Selena Gomez and many other A-listers at the star-studded festival. Meryl St. Jordan, Michael B. Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, and Sofia Coppola were among the honorees at the gala.

Cliona Furey, the head hair stylist on the forthcoming film Priscilla, revealed that the main actress, Cailee Spaeny, wore $50,000 worth of wigs to transform into Elvis Presley's wife. Furey made wigs from her own collection and coloured them herself. Sofia Coppola produced the film, which premiered in late October 2023, based on the actor's 1985 memoir Elvis and Me.

Priscilla Presley was initially worried about' filmmaker Sofia Coppola's writing and directing her recently-launched biographical Priscilla, but she quickly earned her respect. 'I think it's right on, to be honest with you,' Elvis Presley's 78-year-old ex-wife said at South Point Casino on Friday, according to People. I have no regrets over what she did in any way.'
