OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Chastain believes skin care is about more than just the face.
The 47-year-old actress insisted her body is “just as important” and she always focuses on the areas that get exposed to the sun to try and prevent “wrinkles and age spots”.
She told America’s InStyle magazine: “After a hot bath, I do my face skin care, and then I apply the Phyto-Retinol body lotion. We spend so much time on our faces with retinol and all of these things, and we sometimes forget our necks, chests, and legs…
“Your body is just as important as your face. My grandmother taught me so much about skin care when I was younger, but no one ever talks about the skin on your chest or your hands even, which actually get so much sun exposure, so it’s just as important to care for that as we’re getting older.
“For me, any part of my body that’s really in the sun I’ll focus on to prevent wrinkles and age spots. It’s very important to me, especially the arms, the chest, the legs, the neck, anything that can help me address the signs of aging.”
The ‘Eyes of Tammy Faye’ star – who is the face of True Botanicals – is careful about the products she uses because her skin is very sensitive.
She said: “Being a redhead, I have very sensitive skin, so I prefer products that are really clean and that don’t irritate the skin. So I love the Rescue Balm — it smells incredible.
“I don’t use it in the bathroom; it’s on my bedside table. At nighttime, I put it on my cuticles and I’ll rub it on my feet right before I get into bed.
“Again, it’s a moment of just resetting and calming myself down. But then what I can do is really lather it on.
“And then, when I’m feeling a little sexier, I’ll do the Radiant Oil, which also just smells delicious.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Luca Guadagnino has praised “grounded” Jonathan Anderson for his “humanity and wisdom”.
The ‘Call Me By Your Name’ filmmaker celebrated the LOEWE creative director for his “innate understanding” of the link between fashion and human behaviour in an article marking the 39-year-old designer’s inclusion in the annual TIME 100 list.
Luca wrote for the outlet: “Costume design in particular takes a great deal of humanity and wisdom, and working with him in the past has helped me better understand the characters whose stories we were telling. His work is always ahead of the curve. What he does at JW Anderson and Loewe is fashion that belongs to us all, now and in the future.”
The 52-year-old director enjoys working with Jonathan because of his “wonderful” sense of humour and natural curiosity about life.
He wrote: “Great designers often have a sense of importance that’s too strong—they understand the idea of a garment without understanding the person who will wear it, and they conceive of luxury as strangely separated from the ground.
“What I love about Jonathan Anderson is that he is grounded, and he has an innate understanding of how fashion and human behaviour intertwine. Jonathan is one of the most intelligent, empathetic, and curious people I know, but he also has a wonderful sense of humour, and a capacity not to take himself too seriously.”
Fellow designer Tory Burch also made the list this year, and she was honoured by actress Naomi Watts, who praised her friend for her support of other women.
She wrote: “I knew of Tory Burch, the New York City–based fashion designer who has cultivated a devoted following over the past 20 years, well before we met.
“After all, she created the template for a woman-owned, purpose-led fashion company. But it wasn’t until I sought her advice over spoonfuls of dessert that I understood her defining characteristic.
“After I shared my dreams for my fledgling company, Tory offered invaluable guidance I’ve held close to my heart ever since.
“Of course, she has phenomenal personal style and canny business savvy—she’s the queen of viral fashion moments (ballet flats and pink hoop dresses!). Her clothes carry on the great traditions of American sportswear—beautifully designed with a slice of pragmatism.
“But what has struck me most about Tory is her sincerity in wanting women to succeed. She may prefer to shine the light elsewhere, but I’m thrilled to turn the spotlight on my friend Tory Burch.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rihanna won’t be wearing anything provocative to the Met Gala.
The 36-year-old singer – who has RZA, 23 months, and Riot, seven months, with partner A$AP Rocky – will be attending fashion’s biggest night out in New York next month in one of her own creations, but she’s admitted she prefers to dress more modestly now she has children.
Asked what she’ll be wearing to the Met Gala, she told Vogue.com: “I’m gonna wear Fenty something! Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, Fenty Savage…”
“I’ve done so much s*** in my life. I’ve had my nipples out, my panties out. But now, those are the things which, I guess as a mum and an evolved young lady – emphasis on young– – there are things I feel like I would never do. Like, ‘Oh my God, I really did that? Nips out?’”
The ‘Diamonds’ hitmaker’s 2015 Met Gala outfit, a flowing yellow gown by Guo Pei, is one of her favourite fashion accomplishments.
She said: “Nobody will ever forget that and I will never forget the feeling of discovering that designer based off of the design challenge that Anna gave me.
“And damn! You know what, no one would ever expect this, but there’s also the Stella McCartney crop top and skirt, and the party dress that she made me for that same [Met Gala] with my little ass crack out.”
When it comes to her least favourite red carpet outfit, Rihanna recalled an oversized suit that reminded her of a delivery driver’s uniform.
She said: “It was a brown tan suit that we all loved so much, but the day we put it on I was like, ‘Mmm, it’s giving UPS driver,’ and that is not cute. Not for the red carpet anyways.”
Rihanna previously admitted she worried she looked like a clown in her 2015 Met Gala gown.
She told ‘Access Hollywood’ in 2020: “I remember being so scared to get out of that car because I felt like, ‘I’m doing too much.’
“I was driving past the red carpet, and I was just seeing, like, gowns, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m a clown. People are going to laugh at me. This is like, too much.’ I thought that. I circled like three times, I’m not even joking.
“And finally, I was like, ‘Whatever, let’s go. Let’s just go. Let’s just go.’ I know. I don’t regret it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Vera Wang says she is “able to do my best work more and more” as she approaches her 75th birthday.
The Chinese fashion designer – who has aged in reverse – celebrates the milestone on June 27, and whilst she admits she is feeling the “pressure”, she has vowed to “keep prodding on” with her work as it’s what she is most passionate about.
She told PEOPLE: “Birthday plans are up in the air. I mean 75 is a lot of pressure.
“I think maybe a little bit like Warren Buffett [age 93] or Queen Elizabeth II [who reigned the British monarchy for seven decades until she was 96], I’m just going to keep prodding on because I feel as though I’m able to do my best work more and more. I’m really trying to respect that in me, that voice in me, that I feel very happy to be creating. That’s what it’s all about, really.”
Meanwhile, the bridal designer previously revealed she has McDonald’s “every day” for two weeks at a time.
The svelte fashion icon’s secret to her youthful looks and trim physique doesn’t include depriving herself of fast food and a vodka cocktail.
Speaking to Page Six Style, she spilled: “I do eat McDonald’s, absolutely.
“I order it every day, like two weeks on it, and then I’ll change.”
She is also partial to a cream-filled Dunkin’ Donuts treat.
Wang added: “I like the cream-filled, sugar-coated doughnut.
“It’s like a jelly doughnut, but it’s cream inside, vanilla cream. I like the pink with sprinkles, too.”
Wang is adamant she can maintain her enviable figure, despite not being a “huge exercise person”.
She previously said: “I’m not a huge exercise person, but I love to play golf at Liberty National, in Jersey City, N. J., or at Atlantic Golf Club in the Hamptons if I happen to be out there. I’m terrible but enthusiastic.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miranda Kerr has had a full-circle moment by becoming the first global brand ambassador for jewellery brand Michael Hill.
The 40-year-old beauty – who has four sons with Snapchat founder husband Evan Spiegel and son Flynn, 13, with ex Orlando Bloom – has shared her excitement at landing the role at the brand she worked with on one of her first photoshoots of her modelling career more than two decades ago.
She said in a statement: “This partnership is so special to me because one of my first photoshoots in my career was with Michael Hill over 20 years ago.
“I’m proud to support Michael Hill in the next chapter of its journey, just like they supported me all those years ago.
“This next chapter in the brand is super exciting as they continue to create beautiful, sentimental jewellery that captures the meaningful moments. I love the campaign and the brand’s new elevated direction.”
Over the coming months, Australian native Miranda will star in their advertisements and attend brand events.
Michael Hill CEO Daniel Bracken said: “Miranda not only embodies our brand values, but she’s close to our antipodean roots and is the epitome of timeless elegance and sophistication.
“Michael Hill has the ambition to be one of the most sustainable jewellery brands in the world and this aligns perfectly with the sustainable business practices that Miranda follows.”
The retailer, which was launched in New Zealand by Sir Michael Hill in 1979, has undergone a complete rebrand whilst still being faithful to its origins.
Chief marketing officer Jo Feeney added: “Each element of our rebrand has been carefully considered to align with our history and DNA as a brand, and to allow us to continue evolving. Our commitment to quality, craft and creativity is just as strong today as it was when we first began in 1979.
“We are thrilled to have Miranda as our brand ambassador, the perfect embodiment of our new brand direction.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Doja Cat has described her Coachella ensembles as “a textural fever dream”.
The ‘Paint The Town Road’ hitmaker put on a show at the music festival in California over the weekend that depicted how she has “evolved” over the past two years.
The 28-year-old rapper and singer also wanted to challenge the stereotypes of masculinity through risky “materials and shapes no one else would feel safe doing on stage.”
She explained to Vogue: “This show is very special because it’s a representation of how I’ve evolved in the past two years.
“It’s poetic to how I’ve come to love myself for who I am. The plastic and synthetic materials all are a nod to this sort of ‘scientific’ exploration of the self—a dissecting of the mind, and deeper understanding of what makes us the way we are.”
Her stylist and creative director Brett Alan Nelson said: “She had some insane ideas about hair, muscles, and bones.
“There was this idea of this world of masculinity, and playing with the risk factor of using materials and shapes that no one else would feel safe doing on stage.”
Doja further explained how she wanted the audience to feel like they had travelled through her hair into her mind.
She said: “I loved using these creams, whites, eggshell, and bone shades to match with my bleached hair.
“I didn’t want to lean into anything too literal or childlike; I wanted this show to feel like a textural fever dream. Almost like you’ve fallen into my hair and dove through my head and into my thoughts.”
Among the ensembles was a custom bodysuit made with designer Natasha Zinko, and a muscly Off-White and IB Kamara look, a hairy tassel outfit, and a rope corset by Vivienne Westwood.
Doja will wear some fun different looks for weekend two.
Nelson teased: “We do have some new vibes coming for the second weekend.
“Just know that it will just be as happy as the first weekend!”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Wednesday’ star Joy Sunday says her character’s style is informed by her own wardrobe.
The 27-year-old actress – who plays Bianca Barclay in the hit Netflix series – is excited to have more fun with new looks that express herself and her alter ego.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: “Honestly, a lot of Bianca’s style comes from my personal style.”
Joy explained how the role “encouraged me to be even more playful in real life, just because I saw how much her costume and her looks also expressed what she was feeling.”
And “to be more of a character in my everyday personal style.”
She continued: “I am very, very excited to go back for season two and make some more things.”
Meanwhile, the ‘ Dear White People’ star’s favourite makeup styles include the “high-Y2K” looks of Nollywood star’s such as Lionheart’ director Genevieve Nnaji, 44.
She said: “I always really loved the Nollywood stars—the Nigerian Hollywood stars that I grew up watching.
“I’m really happy that was a foundation for my idea of beauty in a lot of ways, because obviously they all look like me—I’m Nigerian myself—and it filled me with a lot of pride.”
Growing up, Joy – who is a global ambassador for French beauty brand Lancôme – only had her mother’s simple makeup routine for work as a reference.
She said: “I didn’t grow up with a lot of makeup in my life.
“I remember an almost ruby lipstick that she used to wear, and this perfume—the lipstick and the perfume kind of goes together in my mind.
“I remember how it was pretty much all my mother needed to look ready for work. And so maybe that’s where my idea of simplicity comes from.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James Norton felt like “a slightly dyspraxic giraffe” throughout his teenage years.
The 38-year-old actor, who stands at 6 feet 1 inches, admits his posture was “slouched” due to his stature, and these days he likes to wear clothes that help him be “more upright”.
He told GQ about his outfit for the Olivier Awards at the weekend: “I feel in my teenage years I got a little tall a little quickly.
“I didn’t really know how to deal with it, so I became a slightly dyspraxic giraffe. And then, as a result, my posture sort of slouched a bit and now, in the rest of my adult life, [I gravitate towards] anything which can help pull me slightly more upright, and this suit tonight definitely does that.”
The suave star rocked a Bottega Veneta suit to the bash in London.
He added: “We’ve gone for a double-breasted, quite cinched, heavy almost tweed material. It’s very well-fitted, very well-tailored, with quite a traditional shirt with a massive ’70s collar and a black tie and cropped trousers.”
In his day-to-day life, James opts for comfort but when he goes out, he can be “more flamboyant” with his looks.
He said: “I travel a lot, and when I go to work I generally wear a tracksuit or very comfortable practical clothes. I’m not often confident enough just to whip [them] out for a drink down the pub.
“I’m hoping to have a bit of a summer off, which does allow for a little bit more fun when it comes to my wardrobe. There’s Wimbledon and I can go to friends’ weddings and parties, and then I’ll get to be a little bit more flamboyant.”
In his play, ‘A Little Life’, which saw him nominated for Best Actor at the awards ceremony, he had to be naked onstage, and he admits he has become less “prudish” about nudity since then.
He said: “I definitely have different attitudes around nudity now.
“[I just came back from] Iceland, and they have this real culture of hot baths and geothermal pools and I realised how prudish we are in the UK about nudity. Off the back of A Little Life, I don’t overthink about that as much anymore. I’m less inhibited.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlotte Tilbury’s new fragrances claim to give the wearer the ability to “architect” their mood.
The beauty guru’s eponymous brand teamed up with the research firm International Flavours and Fragrance (IFF) to produce the six scents in her Collection of Emotions range, including More Sex, which is said to be able to boost people’s sex lives.
As quoted by Vogue, she said: “I always wanted to do this but I’d always been told I couldn’t.
“I knew I could be giving people the power to architect their day, so that’s when I started to investigate the possibilities.”
The mood-altering fragrances are Love Frequency (floral woody), Joyphoria (warm floral), Magic Energy (citrus woody), Calm Bliss (aquatic floral), More Sex (musk leather) and Cosmic Power (amber spicy).
On working with the corporation backed by decades of research that creates products across taste, texture, scent, nutrition, enzymes, cultures, soy proteins, and probiotics categories, she added: “They obviously use it to work on different fragrance notes, but never with that intention to feel. When we knew that with the neuroscience and the psychology we could create my concept… it was a heavenly match.”
Explaining the concept, she said: “One day you might want to be like, Kate Moss rock chick, and then sometimes you might feel like being a Bella [Hadid] bombshell.
“You might be going out to an event and want to feel sexy and empowered, so you might spray Magic Energy and Cosmic Power together.”
The 51-year-old makeup artist used to concoct her own perfumes and believes the combinations helped her “keep calm”.
She added: “I’ve always known it could work, because I would mix up my own perfumes using raw materials like palo santo, patchouli and vanilla beans.
“I just knew that they worked to help keep me calm.”
The Collection of Emotions range launches on May 2, and don’t come cheap, with a hefty price tag of £130 for a 100ml bottle.

OHMYGOSSIP — Zendaya worried her Mugler metal robot costume was a “bad idea” when she started getting “really lightheaded”.
Her stylist, Law Roach, managed to get his hands on the 1995 bodysuit but was worried his client would “chicken out at the last minute” because it was quite the challenge to wear.
Taking part in Vogue’s ‘Life in Looks’ series, she recalled: “He was like, ‘Are you being serious? Don’t play with me! Don’t get me started on something and make me do this, and you’re going to chicken out at the last minute and be too scared to wear it.”
Zendaya wore it to the London premiere of ‘Dune: Part Two’ earlier this year and managed to pull it off effortlessly.
She said: “Immediately after wearing it for 10 minutes or less than that, I got really lightheaded. The metal conducts and holds onto heat very quickly and traps it in. I’m wearing a complete bodysuit. There’s a barrier so you already have a layer of material on your skin.
“But I put it on, made it out there and did it.”
The minute the red carpet was done, she changed into a classic black Mugler gown.
The 27-year-old actress – who is one of the co-chairs of the Met Gala next month – previously explained that she likes to have “fun” with her looks because it all helps her find her characters for the big screen.
She told Vogue: “I just enjoy clothes and playing with them and creating new characters.
“That’s what I find fun about fashion – its transformative quality, its ability to be like storytelling.
“I prefer to have my hands free. So either I have a small bag – like a crossbody, that I can take with me everywhere.
“As long as it can fit my phone, lip gloss, and a little camera. I am one of those people that like to fill their bag.
“I gotta put my computer in it, I gotta put this, I gotta put that. So I’m either going all or nothing. I’ve gotta have options. I need options.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gwen Stefani’s beauty line is for those who are “scared of makeup” – as well as professional artists.
The ‘Cool’ hitmaker wanted GXVE Beauty, which she launched in 2022, to make makeup accessible for everyone no matter how skilled they are at applying the products.
Speaking to Refinery29, she explained: “I’ve learned a lot since starting GXVE. A lot of people are intimidated by makeup, and this was the inspiration; I really wanted to think about the people out there that may feel a bit scared about how to put on makeup, and I wanted to make something that was beautiful and easy. The glosses are very comfortable, shiny, and long wearing. They have a hint of colour, so it’s not overwhelming. We created a matching cheek tint, that gives you a glow that is so easy to put on. You literally cannot mess it up.”
Sharing some of her favourite uses for her products, the blonde beauty – who is known for her signature red lip – added: “I wanted to create something that everyone can wear, whether you’re a makeup artist or just beginning with makeup. I’ve always liked a cream blush, but the dry-down time on some can be too fast. I love this formula because it’s clean and buildable. Collagen is also great for all skin types, but I personally love the plumping and hydrating aspect of it. There are so many fun ways to layer the shades. You can mix and match the lip and cheek tints, or you can colour match: If you’re concerned about mixing and matching, just use the lip that aligns with the same colour blush.”
The No Doubt star is thrilled that lip gloss is trendy again.
She said: “I love that gloss is having a moment again and I wanted to create something that felt nostalgic, but also modern with a brighter pop of colour. I also love blush: I came out with a powder blush, Feelin’ Cheeky Amplifying Blush Duos, at the end of last year that layers with the Dewyplump Cheek Tints. I like to mix up my glam. The campaign we created around this launch is so fun and pop-art inspired. I love the melty visual look of the product.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lisa Rinna puts on a soothing eyepatch whenever she’s “feeling a bit down”.
The 60-year-old reality star has launched her own line of Rinna Beauty Under Eye Patches and she says not only do they refresh her skin, but they boost her mood.
She told WWD: “If I’m going to an event, I always wear them right before I do my makeup or during my makeup. I wear them all the time if I’m feeling a little bit down. I put on the eyepatch, and it perks me right up.”
tarted taking HRT to avoid losing her hair.
Meanwhile, Lisa previously admitted she feared her beauty brand was “doomed” when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
The ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star launched Rinna Beauty in November 2020, in the middle of the global health crisis and she admitted she was concerned starting with lip kits could end up backfiring on her because people had their faces covered when out in public, but fortunately she was wrong.
She told ES magazine: “The lips have had their own career, so finally we did something to make money off of them!
“Everyone had their masks on. I thought, ‘We’re doomed!’ Luckily, we weren’t. People just took to it.”
Lisa is a big fan of her own range.
She said: “I know that sounds like, come on, you’re selling it, but it does really work well for me. I said, listen, we’re not going to make this unless I want to wear it all the time.”
Lisa was known for her plump lips when she began her acting career and she compared having her first filler injections at the age of just 24 to having a tattoo.
She said: “I liken it to getting a tattoo. It was an absolutely stupid spur of the moment thing with my girlfriend. The movie Beaches had come out and Barbara Hershey had her lips done with collagen. That’s how it happened.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Gentlemen’ has sparked a surge in sales of aristocratic “country chic” clothes and accessories.
Among the items that have been flying off shelves since the gangster comedy-drama starring Theo James launched on Netflix on March 7 are heritage checks and tweeds, bespoke tailoring and expensive watches.
Pinterest said it has experienced a spike in search terms such as “Theo James aesthetic”, “flat cap”, “tweed jacket outfit” and “vintage watches” in the week since the show was released.
Online clothing giant Asos has also launched a guide on how to recreate the show’s style using its clothing – and Savile Row tailor Henry Poole and Co has partnered with Netflix to produce cufflinks and a silk scarf.
Brands featured in the series have also reported significant increases in sales.
Cordings of Piccadilly told The Guardian it had experienced a “really positive effect” thanks to the show.
Its Wincanton trouser suit worn by Joely Richardson – who plays country manor-dwelling Lady Sabrina on the show – and the Follifoot coat worn by actor Daniel Ings’ rogue posh playboy Freddy is so in demand there is a waiting list for the piece for customers.
Clare Haggas, which supplied the printed scarves for the show, said it has seen “an upturn in website visits and sales and new customers”.
Loulou Bontemps, a costume designer for the show, said she had been inspired by “walking round London or the countryside observing people”.
She added she purposefully selected “quintessentially British brands” for the series, saying: “Anyone who lives in the countryside or knows someone with an estate or goes to one of their pubs has met someone like this, whereas Americans think it’s ridiculous.
“That’s something Guy is very passionate about: every story, although heightened and stylised, has to be believable. It was exciting for people to see a cool version of the assumption of how people who live in that world dress.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ted Baker is closing 15 stores across Britain – sparking the loss of 245 jobs.
The move comes after the fashion brand fell into administration, with its European retail and online arm appointing Teneo as administrators in March.
It has 46 stores in the UK and Europe, and struggled with tough trading conditions and the fallout from the 2019 ousting of its founder Ray Kelvin amid claims of a culture of “forced hugs” at the company.
Teneo’s Benji Dymant, the joint administrator of No Ordinary Designer Label, which is the retailer of the Ted Baker brand in the UK and Europe, called the store closures “regrettable”.
He added in a statement: “(The move) will improve the performance of the business, as Authentic continues to progress discussions with potential UK and European operating partners for the Ted Baker brand to bring the business back to health.”
Ted Baker was also hit by the emergence of an accounting error and a string of profit warnings.
It was announced this week 11 loss-making Ted Baker stores will shut by April 19 with the loss of 120 jobs – including outlets in Birmingham’s Bullring shopping centre and in Liverpool, Oxford, Leeds, Bristol, Milton Keynes and Nottingham.
Teneo said there was no prospect of returning the stores to profitability even with significant rent reductions.
The company is also shedding 25 roles at head office level to reduce costs, and four more stores will shut in the coming weeks with the loss of about 100 jobs after landlords served notice on the outlets in Manchester, Bicester and two branches in London.
Authentic Brands, the owner of the intellectual property of Ted Baker, is still continuing to seek a new operating partner for the retail and online business in the UK and Europe, Teneo has said.
The closures are a massive blow to the beleaguered British high street, which has been hit by a series of closures of big-name retailers since the start of the year amid the cost of living crisis impacting profits and with the UK sliding into a recession in February.

OHMYGOSSIP — Umbro’s new exhibition is being hailed as an illustration of how the concept of “Englishness” is being “constantly revised”.
The ‘Umbro 100: Sportswear x Fashion’ at Ambika Gallery in the University of Westminster, tells the story of the Manchester-based sports brand’s development – in the wake of the row over the replacement of the traditional red and white St George’s Cross with a multicoloured one on Nike’s design for the Euros England shirt.
Umbro was the official outfitter of England for the majority of 1954 to 2012 and the team’s shirts are a key part of the exhibition – including a 2011 top designed by iconic record sleeve graphic designer Peter Saville.
The show also features pictures of the red England kit worn when the team won the World Cup in 1966, as Umbro made the England and German kits.
Exhibition curator Andrew Groves told The Guardian about the range of items on display: “(They show how) the idea of what Englishness is constantly being revised.
“For example, the England rose is actually the Tudor rose, which is about uniting Lancaster and York together. People are constantly playing with bits of iconography and making them modern.”
Andrew added he thinks the reaction to Nike’s St George’s Cross was caused by a lack of explanation for the switch.
He said: “They didn’t have a narrative (of) ‘We’ve done this because of x.’
“With (Peter) Saville, they talked about how they took the colours from the crest, putting all three together to give this purple colour. It’s about the idea of Britain as a really multi-diverse country.”
He also said he thinks designing an England shirt that will win the approval of all fans is far too tricky, adding: “Do you want to keep them happy but move them on?
“I think that’s a difficult thing to do, especially when it seems like it’s only every (two) years when people are engaged and (when you consider) how problematic Englishness has become.”
A blue pixelated design from 1990 that was never worn by the England team but became famous for its role in New Order’s ‘World in Motion’ video is also on show at the Umbro exhibition.
The exhibition also demonstrates how collaboration, now par for the course between sports and fashion brands has been a key part of Umbro’s legacy.

OHMYGOSSIP — Bethany Nagy says she was considered a “retirement age” model when she hit the catwalks at 25.
The now 53-year-old modelling veteran spoke out against ageism in the industry after being named one of the models leading a trend of mature women being employed to pose for high-end fashion houses.
She told British Vogue: “I started modelling in 1995 when I was 25 – I was already at retirement age when I started.
“I was attending graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, in the School of Architecture, at that point in time, and this crazy opportunity came up in Dallas, because that was the connection that I had.
“Four months in, I was doing Neiman Marcus’s ‘The Book’, and other work. I went to Paris and lived in Europe for a year, and it just took off from there.
“I did my first big showroom for Christian Dior, and it was the last season of (Gianfranco) Ferré.
“I had just landed in Paris, I think there were five of us doing it, and I was green and new. I had no idea who he was.”
She added about being told now to say she was in her mid-20s when her career took off: “I was told I had to lie about my age when I started, especially when I went to Europe, so from 25 I turned 19.
“It was a Benjamin Button-type of rewind. At that point they said I had two good years, that I was already too old. But it just kept going. I grew into an industry where most women retired at around 25. It was very rare. If you went into an agency at that point in time, you didn’t see a lot of boards that had older models or anyone over 30 unless you were a supermodel. I just kind of rode this wave until all of a sudden people were like I don’t know, maybe we’re okay with women in their thirties. And now it’s turned into, I don’t know, I think we’re okay with… women.”
Bethany went on about how she feared her days of modelling were over before Covid hit: “I thought I was retired prior to Covid-19. It was around 2017 when I told myself I just didn’t want to fight for scraps.
“There’s too much physical maintenance that goes with this job to be fighting to do a commercial with me and my fake husband taking a blue pill. I don’t want to do Botox commercials. That’s just not who I am.”
But she said after Covid she landed a Maybelline commercial, which she said was the start of a “wave” of work for her and other older models.
Bethany added about the trend: “We’ve been at this for a long time, so there’s been an embrace, a very welcome embrace… I did Balmain this season with Olivier Rousteing.”
She also said about enjoying this stage of her career: “From the conversations I’ve had with my fellow ‘wise’ models, it’s that when you have a led a longer life it’s different than when you’re just building a career as opposed to having already built one.
“You get to enjoy it a little bit more, and have a different perspective on it.”
