Florence Pugh’s Strapless Saint Laurent Dress Has a Ridiculously High Slit

Florence Pughcontinues to refine her red carpet presence with looks that feel intentional rather than overworked, and her latest appearance at a Bulgari event in Rome is a perfect example. The actress leaned into a quieter, more controlled form of glamour, one that doesn’t rely on excess but instead lets key elements do the talking. At first glance, the look appears minimal and understated, but that restraint is exactly what makes it so impactful.

Florence Pugh wears strapless Saint Laurent dress with dangerously high slit for Bulgari event

For the evening, Florence Pugh stepped out in a strapless black satin gown from Saint Laurent’s Resort 2026 collection. The silhouette was sleek and fluid, skimming the body. The strapless neckline added a sense of openness, drawing attention to her neck while maintaining a polished, elegant feel.

As she moved, the dress revealed its defining feature — a dramatically high slit that cut through the length of the gown, adding a sharp, modern edge to an otherwise classic piece. The slit introduced both movement and a hint of boldness, balancing the simplicity of the design with just the right amount of drama. The satin fabric caught the light subtly, enhancing the richness of the black color without overpowering it.

What truly elevated the outfit, however, was the styling. Pugh allowed her Bulgari diamonds to take centre stage, using the gown as a clean backdrop rather than the main attraction. A statement diamond necklace sat delicately at her collarbone, instantly drawing focus and addeding sparkle to the look.

She completed the look withAquazzura Hula sandals. The black footwear was minimal and in line with the overall aesthetic. Moreover, her beauty choices followed the same approach: sleek, softly styled hair and glowing, neutral makeup.

With this appearance, Pugh proved that sometimes the most powerful fashion moments come from restraint, where simplicity and design speak louder than anything else.

Anonymous Donor Gives $3 Million to Sustain Arkansas Public Television — but It Comes with a Catch

Arkansas PBS rebranded as Arkansas TV after losing $2.5 million in federal funding

NEED TO KNOW

• Viewers and donors pushed back against the changes, resulting in a vote to delay the split

• An anonymous $3 million pledge requires matching donations to help restore funding and maintain PBS content in Arkansas

An anonymous donor pledged $3 million to keep public television alive in Arkansas, but it comes with a catch.

Following the shutdown of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting earlier this year, the state of Arkansas was the first in the country to vote to split up the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

Former state legislator Carlton Wing became the executive director at Arkansas PBS in September 2025, noting that the loss of roughly $2.5 million in federal support made them adjust plans.

He rebranded it to Arkansas TV, leaving PBS behind.

“It's been a tough mission here of late,” Wing said, according to ABC affiliateKATV. “The federal funding cuts changed the entire landscape of public television.”

However, the viewers and donors didn't go quietly. They wanted PBS' programs instead of more locally focused entertainment.

“I love Craig O'Neal, but he is not Ken Burns. I don't think trading Craig O'Neal forKen Burnsis what we need to do. 49 other states figured it out, we've got money in the state, and I think we need to do the same thing," supporter Lisa Handley said. O'Neal is the host of an Arkansas TV show, per the outlet.

The Arkansas Television Commission ultimately voted 4-1 on March 12 to delay the split for 180 days, providing more time to secure funding.

Arkansas TV Foundation CEO Marge Betley stated that they lost 3,738 donors over the past few months, according to theArkansas Advocate.

“We had a lot of donors walk away because what they were hoping to pay for with their donations was PBS,” Senator Clarke Tucker said. “What this does is it creates an incentive and a mechanism for those donors to come back to the table.”

The anonymous donor's pledge stated that others should also contribute to save PBS.

On Wednesday, April 22, Senate Bill 77 was advanced by lawmakers. The bill allows up to $550,000 in private donations to be matched by Arkansas' public television network.

“There was a bad audit that some legislators had concerns about. I think those financial issues have been worked out," Tucker said, per KATV.

The $3 million donation would arrive in $1 million increments for three years.

Paris Hilton Takes Credit for Y2K Fashion, Says It's 'Fun to See So Many People Wearing Looks I've Worn' (Exclusive)

Paris Hilton told PEOPLE that the return of Y2K fashion trends makes her “so happy and proud" on Wednesday, April 29

NEED TO KNOW

• Hilton wore an elegant personalized blue Danyul Brown look to match the 2026 Motorola Razr

• The "Infinite Icon" closed out the night with a DJ set ahead of several festival appearances this summer

Paris Hiltonknows what's hot.

At Motorola's Razr Studios 2026 launch event on Wednesday, April 29, Hilton, 45, reflected on her legacy in 2000s fashion and the role that her Razr has played as one of her signature accessories.

“It makes me so happy and proud," Hilton tells PEOPLE exclusively of the return of Y2K fashion trends. "It makes me so proud, because I am the one who really created Y2K fashion, so it’s just so much fun to see so many people wearing looks that I’ve worn, and just seeing on all the biggest designers' mood boards, pictures of me."

Hilton notes that "the 2000s were such a fun time during fashion" with "all the bright colors" being "really extra and the sparkles, and people just having fun with it."

"So it’s really fun just to see so many people really embracing that style and having a good time,” Hilton tells PEOPLE.

The launch event, held at the Lot on Formosa in Los Angeles, introduced the "new Motorola Razr family," Including Hilton, Avan Jogia, Natalie Bryant, Isan Elba and more.

Hilton wore a vibrant blue custom Danyul Brown gown that featured a corset bodice with intricate branch-like detailing, a sheer skirt, a matching floor-length scarf and silk gloves. The look was tailored to her Motorola collaboration as she walked the runway with her Pantone orient blue Razr.

Longtime Razr user, Hilton tells PEOPLE about how having agency over what she chooses to share publicly has changed her relationship with stardom since the 2000s.“It’s definitely changed the game in so many ways," Hilton said. "I love how we all have our own platform, so we’re able to show our truth instead of having the media control everything; people can really take agency to really create a brand as well."

"It’s so exciting that anyone with a phone going on a platform could literally create their own empire, and I was the first to do it, so to see so many people inspired by that and following in my footsteps makes me extremely proud to be the OG," Hilton shared.

Hilton's relationship with Motorola goes back far beyond the latest launch.“I have always been obsessed with my Motorola razor," Hilton told PEOPLE. "It’s always been like a part of my vibe, my look, and of me. And, just like part of my aesthetic."

Hilton notably partnered with the brand to launch the first-everhot pink limited-edition Razr in 2025.

"I’m obsessed with the new ones, because everything about it is so elevated, and it’s evolved in so many ways, and yeah, I’m just obsessed," she added of the newest launch. "I love that I can color coordinate with all my outfits, and I thought tonight’s gown was perfect with this gorgeous orient blue phone.”

The launch concluded with a DJ set from Hilton—and she told PEOPLE that she currently has new music in the works."I’m having concerts, I’m headlining all summer long," Hilton said of her upcoming DJ sets at Tecate Emblema 2026 in Mexico City, Brighton & Hove Pride in Brighton, England, and World Pride in Amsterdam.

Hilton told PEOPLE that she is "finishing the third album" and has "been in all of my rehearsals right now, just getting ready with my dancers, to go on tour.”The "Stars Are Blind" singer added that the DJ scene has become far more inclusive than when she started DJing more than a decade ago.

"And it’s incredible to see so many girl DJs coming in and just absolutely slaying— they’re producing, they’re performing at the biggest music festivals, and I love supporting girls, and it just makes me so happy to see all of my sisters slaying the game.”

Hilton's 2000s catchphrase "that's hot" was a persistent fixture of pop culture at the time. When asked about what catch phrase would define this phase of her life, the mother of two said, “Definitely 'sliving,' 'sliving mom,' 'loves it' would really describe it, and 'that’s hot' will always be such a huge part of my life, so all three.”

Queen Mary Converts a Historic Diamond Floral Bracelet Into a Tiara

Royalty from around the world gathered at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, Sweden this evening to celebrateKing Carl XVI Gustaf’s80th birthday. Among those in attendance included Denmark’s King Frederik and Queen Mary, who wore a historic bracelet as a tiara for the occasion.

The Danish queen turned Queen Louise’s Diamond Floral Bracelet, which belongs to the Danish Royal Property Trust, into a tiara. She paired the tiara with a bold floral dress, and dangling diamond earrings.

Per theKongehuset, “The bracelet is segmented with a rosette-shaped centre section, surrounded by delicate flowers and leaves, all made of diamonds, set in gold and silver.” Oscar I and Queen Josefina of Sweden gave the bracelet as a wedding gift to their daughter-in-law, the future Queen Louise of Sweden, upon her marriage to Karl (XV) in June 1850. The bracelet was then passed on to their only surviving child, the future Queen Lovisa of Denmark, and it has belonged to the Danish royal family ever since.

Queen Margrethe frequently wore the bracelet as a choker, but Queen Mary appears to be the first Danish royal to wear it as a tiara.

Earlier in the day, Queen Mary and King Frederik attended a lunch in honor of the Swedish King at the City Hall. For that outing, Mary wore a Dior skirt suit set and floral diamond earrings.

The Danish royal couple is staying on the Royal Yacht Dannebrog during their time in Sweden. Also joining them for the festivities are Queen Margrethe and Princess Benedikte.

Josh O'Connor reveals the 'amazing' advice he got from Steven Spielberg — that was actually a mixed-up text

Josh O'Connor is recalling a hilarious mix-up that led to an acting breakthrough on the set of Disclosure Day.

Key Points

• The English actor was "thrilled" to receive a late-night text from Spielberg with helpful advice about a tricky scene.

• But when he arrived the following day on set, he learned what Spielberg really meant by the message, leading to a "very big joke" amongst the cast and crew.

Steven Spielbergis cooking with gas even when he doesn't mean to be.

Josh O'Connor, one of the stars of the great American maestro's mysterious new UFO filmDisclosure Day,eagerly shared "the greatest Steven Spielberg story" in an interview with theAssociated Presson Wednesday.

"When it happened, I was sort of like punching the air for this very reason, knowing that when it comes to doing press for this film, I can tell the story," O'Connor began, setting the stage.

The rising English star of films likeChallengersandLa Chimeraexplained that "halfway through the shoot," he was preparing for "quite an emotional scene and I was struggling with it. I was in my hotel room trying to prep it" when Spielberg "brilliantly" offered his perspective on "the emotion of the scene and how to access that and what we’re ultimately aiming to show in the story. And I felt quite satisfied, but not completely."

Then came a most unexpected late-night text.

"I got a text from him quite late at night, just saying, 'The door is on the latch, just push.' And it made so much sense. I was like, 'of course.' The character's kind of got all this emotion, it's built up and it's like a door on the latch and you just push and it all comes out and it's an emotional release," O'Connor shared.

He waltzed back onto the set of Spielberg's highly anticipated return to extraterrestrial cinema "so thrilled with that note," and went straight to Spielberg to thank him.

"'Steven, you totally unlocked it for me. That was amazing,'" O'Connor recalled. "And he was like, 'What are you talking about?'"

"I said, 'The text about 'the door on the latch just push' it's incredible.' And he laughed and said that that text was supposed to be for his wife. It became a very big joke for all of us. But it did unlock the scene for me, so, fair play," O'Connor explained.

Disclosure Dayis Spielberg's 37th feature film as a director and another in his career exploration of life beyond life on Earth, adding to a lineage that includesE.T.,Close Encounters of the Third Kind,War of the Worlds, and, yes,Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The film co-stars O'Connor, Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, and Colman Domingo and premieres in just over a month, but little is known about its plot and themes.

Spielberg ventured out to Las Vegas earlier this month totease new footage from the filmduring the Universal presentation at CinemaCon.

Though there was significant overlap between footage used in the film's official trailer and what was shown at CinemaCon, that latter presentation included a first look atDisclosure Day's aliens.

One intriguing shot toward the end of the new footage showed several human figures holding umbrellas over the heads of smaller humanoid creatures that bear a striking resemblance to the small aliens at the end ofClose Encounters.

Fans will have to wait untilDisclosure Daypremieres on June 12 to see what Spielberg's been cooking up.
