Lily James spent the last year playing Pamela Anderson and unleashed her “inner Pammy”.

The night might have been chilly, but at this week’s premiere of What’s Love Got To Do With It? there was one person who got the world hot on his heels.

The film’s star, Lily James, left her mouth open and little to the imagination in her sheer corseted lime green Miu Miu dress and towering silver heels.

It was certainly a departure from the blushing blonde, who stumbled down the red carpet in a series of fairytale dresses after playing Cinderella eight years ago.

But this week’s busty display shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Because the truth is, 33-year-old Lily made a mark on the red carpet over the past year with her powerful, sexy new look.

If you look back at every dress she’s picked since January 2022, you’ll notice one theme: bold, form-fitting dresses that show the world she’s no fading wallflower.

Lily James attending the premiere of What’s Love Got To Do With It? left her mouth open and little to the imagination in her sheer, corseted, lime green Miu Miu dress and towering silver heels.

So what’s behind her style sea change? After all, she’s had the same stylist since 2015, celebrity favorite Rebecca Corbin-Murray.

Well, her metamorphosis from a young twenty-year-old in sweeping Oscar De La Renta and Elie Saab gowns to today’s screen siren began around the time she played Baywatch bombshell Pamela Anderson on the television series Pam & Tommy.

At the premiere on January 24 last year, Lily drew a lot of attention in a silver Atelier Versace mini dress with a cut-out bodice and bra-like straps that showed off the curves she’d worked so hard on with a personal trainer, to get in beach babe shape.

Viewers assumed Lily was simply borrowing Pammy’s vibe to interrupt the show. Yet as the months went by, the sultry, form-fitting outfits continued.

In March, Lily opted for a mini dress and thigh-high boots by Roberto Cavalli for the Vogue and Tiffany fashion and film party.

At the Oscars later that month, she chose a baby pink lace dress from Versace with a thigh-high slit that revealed her fabulous legs and left the cape-like skirt behind.

At May’s Met Gala in New York, she again opted for Versace, which flashed the thighs, this time in a sheer, jeweled fabric that offered tantalizing glimpses of the flesh beneath.

And at the BFI film festival in September, she cut a dramatic figure in the backless red Alaia.

It felt like a new Lily James – one who was becoming increasingly confident in owning her sexuality.

You can of course understand why Lily would want to break out of the mold the world has created for her.

With her diaphanous British accent, delicate features, and a filmography that includes adaptations of some literary classics (Rebecca, The Pursuit of Love, Cinderella), it was always tempting to cast Lily in the most terrifying of clichés, the English rose. (To be honest, I don’t think there’s a single British actress who’s ever made it into the tough world of Hollywood who could be considered a “tender flower.”)

But for years, Lily’s choice of classic red carpet dresses and floaty midi dresses only cemented that reputation further. Check out images of her from her rise to fame as Lady Rose at Downton Abbey in 2013, until the pandemic put an end to awards shows and premieres in 2020, and you’ll see her shine in giant bows (Valentino); classic polka dots (Petar Petrov) and lots and lots of flowers (Emilia Wickstead, Preen, Alexander McQueen and Saloni).

In March 2022, Lily was photographed by Del Core in a crop top and pants at the LA Film Awards (pictured left). That same month, Lily wore a see-through dress designed by Roberto Cavalli (right) to a screening of Pam & Tommy in Los Angeles.

And yet I’ve always thought her early style was at odds with the Lily James I’ve seen and met.

I shared a table with her at the British Fashion Awards in December 2019. Fresh from her split with ex-Doctor Who star Matt Smith, she wore a white Valentino dress.

Lily wasn’t a delicate wallflower that night; She was funny, flirty – and one of the sexiest actresses I’ve ever met.

It was as if the room was tilting toward her as she walked. ELLE magazine, which I edited, almost photographed her for the cover a few months later (as is usual with these things, the timing wasn’t quite right) and unlike most Hollywood actresses, Lily was very ready to see experimenting with her.

Even back then, you could sense that the real Lily James was itching to step out of her prescribed fashion comfort zone.

I think you just have to look at the men Lily has dated – fellow star Matt Smith; an alleged affair with her married “Pursuit Of Love” co-star Dominic West and her most recent ex-partner, American rock musician Michael Shuman – to know that this is one woman unwilling to accept a man’s silly arm- willingness to be.

I’m wondering if there’s anything surprising about this “new” look at all.

In fact, I’d bet money on the fact that this provocative new style is far more representative of the woman Lily really is. . .

Body conscious, wonderfully mischievous, oozing with sex appeal – and finding it so amusing that we’re only just beginning to realize this English rose has thorns.

Bride from canceled wedding that went viral on networks says nervousness made her say ‘no’

Video of a wedding being canceled after the bride made a joke during the ceremony went viral on social media this week. In the recording, Mirian Ferrraz was asked if she agreed to voluntarily and spontaneously marry her fiancé, Vanildo Vieira, but she replied that she didn’t, before saying “yes.” However, the justice of the peace did not like the attitude.

“You can not play. There is no excuse. It’s serious. Unfortunately he’s not getting married today, no,” he said.

The wedding took place in the city of São Paulo in 2016, but only this week the video of the episode was published on social networks. In an interview with SBT’s Fofocalizando program, Vanildo said he was upset and said if he didn’t get married that day, he wouldn’t get married anymore.

Still on the show, Mirian explained why she said “no,” saying that the nervousness of the moment led her to that reaction. “I trembled, I became empty. Just in time [que o casamento foi cancelado]my sky was collapsing,” he commented.

In the interview, Mirian also said that despite the incident, the wedding took place on the same day. Vanildo said he went, accompanied by the commissioned photographer, to apologize to the justice of the peace, who held a new ceremony hours later.

Me Stécie Jérôme, the Crown Prosecutor for the case, told Noovo Info that a motion to that effect will be heard at the Montreal Courthouse on April 20. The hearing takes place behind closed doors, without the presence of the public normally admitted to the court.

The judge will have to decide whether or not to uphold the publication ban imposed at the beginning of the trial. Corneliu Montano wants the identity of the alleged victims and witnesses to be known. According to Me Jérôme, a rather rare request.

publication ban

The publication ban prohibits anyone (media, witnesses, defendants, lawyers, alleged victims and the general public) from disseminating and publishing the names and any identifying information of the persons affected by the order (living environment, places, employment, leisure, family). ties, etc.).

The ban on publication applies throughout the court proceedings, including the preliminary investigation and criminal proceedings against the accused. It also applies after the accused has pleaded guilty, or after the conclusion of his trial if he pleads not guilty.

Inaugurated retirement home in Levis

Inaugurated retirement home in Lévis –

The CAQ government on Tuesday inaugurated the first-ever senior and alternative home in Greater Quebec City, in the Saint-Étienne-de-Lauzon sector of Lévis.

• Also read: The lack of staff denounced at Sherbrooke’s aged care and alternative home

Located at 540 avenue Albert-Rousseau, it has 120 spaces, including 96 for seniors and 24 for adults with special needs. It has 10 units of 12 rooms each, with adapted toilets and showers for each person accommodated.


The facility, which was built at a cost of $73 million, will welcome its first residents on February 20. However, their arrival will be gradual, particularly because of the challenges of recruiting workers.

“We will therefore start with two houses, i.e. with 24 people who will gradually move in,” said Minister of Health and Senior Citizens Sonia Bélanger.

It is currently not possible to predict when the new retirement home with 120 of the 250 employees required for operations will be able to accommodate more residents.

“We are working in parallel with my colleague, Minister Christian Dubé, to train more specialists, train more doctors, train more employees. We are mobilized with the Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Education. We’ll be doing parallel programs to speed up the training, so it’s not magic thinking. We have needs, we are starting, we are looking to the future and we will gradually go there according to the available workforce,” Minister Bélanger said.

“The people of Chaudière-Appalaches need these spaces. We have an aging population and need more and more housing,” said CISSS President and CEO Patrick Simard.

This is the second retirement home to open in the province, following the one in Sherbrooke.

In addition to Saint-Étienne-de-Lauzon, another retirement home is scheduled to open in Thetford Mines in the Chaudière-Appalaches region in 2023. One is also being built near Saint-Martin in Beauce.

These are part of the 46 retirement homes announced by the Legault government, totaling 3,480 places.

The Congress of Peru promotes an initiative to ban Gustavo Petro from entering the country

Colombian President Gustavo Petro delivered a speech Tuesday accompanied by First Lady Verónica Alcocer and her daughter Antonella.Colombian President Gustavo Petro delivered a speech on Tuesday, accompanied by First Lady Verónica Alcocer and her daughter Antonella Mauricio Dueñas Castañeda (EFE)

Last week there was a scene that stunned a large part of the Peruvian population: a huge battalion of the National Police (PNP) marched through the old town of Lima, right in front of the judiciary. It was the strongest image seen by law enforcement in two months as mobilizations erupted against President Dina Boluarte’s government. It was a show of power and clearly a message of authority to those who continue to take to the streets to assert their demands.

When asked about the pictures, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said emphatically: “They are marching like Nazis against their own people, breaking the American Convention on Human Rights. The convention does not only apply to left-wing governments. Double standard who does it. It applies to all governments,” he noted. His comments were not well received by either the right-wing benches or the executive. Foreign Minister Ana Gervasi called Petro’s comments “unacceptable” and “out of place”.

Today, the Foreign Relations Commission, headed by former Congress President Maricarmen Alva Prieto, approved the motion dismissing Petro’s remarks and declaring him persona non grata. The majority was absolute: 13 votes in favour, 3 abstentions and no votes against. The document, supported by parliamentarians from various banks, claims that Petro’s comments “constitute an offense against our police force and the Republic of Peru by belittling the Holocaust and the Jewish people, many of whom are Peruvian.”

The motion suggests something stronger than disapproving of his words. She is calling on the Home Office and the Ministry of Foreign Relations “to ensure that everyone, within their powers, takes the necessary steps to ensure that Mr Petro does not enter the State’s territory”. This was supported by Maricarmen Alva himself, a Popular Action Congresswoman: “We call on migration to consider the possibility of not allowing him to enter the country. At least apologize.” The President of the Foreign Relations Commission added, “This doesn’t cut off diplomatic relations. It’s different stages. We can’t stop talking. Congress is a political jurisdiction and we have to defend our national police force. Petro’s facial expressions not come from a kind president. That comparison is shameful.”

In contrast, Silvana Robles, a congresswoman from Peru Libre, the party that put Pedro Castillo and his culture minister in power until his failed coup, said: “The right will not stop with its plan if our international relations collapse, any regime that supports the Abuses of the dictatorship of Dina Boluarte denounced”. Last December, the executive branch declared Mexico’s ambassador to Peru, Pablo Monroy, persona non grata and expelled him after the North American country granted political asylum to the Pedro Castillo family.

In any case, the deal against President Gustavo Petro still has to go to the plenary session of the House of Representatives for debate and eventual approval. The fact that the application did not receive a dissenting vote gives an indication of the impending panorama.

Rotterdam a unique visit to Rafael Nadal for Felix Auger Aliassime

Rotterdam: a unique visit to Rafael Nadal for Félix Auger-Aliassime

ROTTERDAM | Félix Auger-Aliassime, who landed at the Rafael Nadal Academy in early February to refine his preparations for his return to playing in Rotterdam, was invited for a tour of the premises by the owner himself.

• Also read: Félix Auger-Aliassime: back to the beginning

Back home treating his injuries and absent from the circuit, Nadal has been able to spend time with the Auger-Aliassime team, which includes his special adviser Toni Nadal, the Tonoger’s uncle and longtime coach.

“I had already made a full visit, but there were several renovations and it’s nice to see the development,” said the eighth racket in the ATP ranking, who was also accompanied by some other relatives of his sports team.

“During the visit to the museum, Rafael told me about the importance of certain trophies and stories related to certain tournaments. It’s always interesting to talk to him. »

Ever since Auger-Aliassime became one of the best players in the world and Nadal gave the anthology match at Roland-Garros last year by becoming just the third player to push him in five sets in his favorite tournament, Auger-Aliassime has feel that his relationship with the Spanish star has evolved.

Respect

“Rafa has always been very correct, kind and humble to me, but our relationship has changed a bit since I confirmed my place among the best. He respects the player that I am and can become. We always had good conversations and I appreciate every opportunity to talk to him, but also to Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Novac Djokovic. I’m trying to find out about their experiences and their attitude towards tennis. »

If the social aspect was very much appreciated, Auger-Aliassime mainly went to the island of Mallorca to hone his game under the watchful eyes of Toni Nadal.

“It was the first time I worked with Toni at the academy,” he said. He usually comes to Monaco or certain tournaments. We were able to spend some time there and it was a very good week. I got what I was looking for. »

outer eye

The Quebecer immortalized his visit to the famous establishment, accompanied by the Spaniard.

The Quebecer immortalized his visit to the famous establishment, accompanied by the Spaniard.

What goals did Auger-Aliassime pursue behind this multi-day trip? “In tournaments we don’t have much time to practice and the dynamics are different. At the academy, we took the time to chat during training. You could spend three to four hours a day in the field. »

Auger-Aliassime occasionally likes to use someone outside of his daily circle to judge his game.

“It’s good to benefit from Toni’s experience, but I also like to get an outside opinion. Frederick [Fontang] plans and ensures continuity, but he’s less aware of the differences in my game because he’s used to seeing me every day. »

“Toni sees me on TV and is present at some tournaments, but the break of a few months allows him to see the development of my game. He can confirm what we worked on last time and what adjustments I made. His different language allows me and Fred to challenge each other. »

THE Coach recognize

Fontang also enjoyed this jump to the Nadal Academy.

“We haven’t been there in almost two years and the timing was right,” he said. It helps to use Toni’s outer eye. After the Australian Open we were able to work on our game and physical appearance. Cuts are always important and Félix found the match phase when we arrived in Rotterdam with very good training partners. »

The FAA begins defending its championship title with vigour

Félix Auger-Aliassime in action during his first round match at the Rotterdam tournament against Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego.

Félix Auger-Aliassime started his title defense at Tuesday’s ABN Amro Open on the right foot by easily beating Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego 6-2, 6-3.

Unlike last year when he lost the first set of his opening match to Egor Gerasimov, Auger-Aliassime was never worried. He held serve all game and only had to salvage two break points in the first game of the second set when he was 15-40 behind.

“My last win was at the Australian Open a few weeks ago and it’s positive to win my first match in two consecutive sets,” underscored the 8th racquet in the world. I’m happy with my game against a player who can be annoying and who is competitive. »

“It’s very good to win this way and it’s started the week well as we tracked Auger-Aliassime, who topped the ATP Tour with 31 indoor wins last year.

“I’m completely satisfied, because a first game can always be dangerous. It’s not pressure to be the defending champion, but more motivation to want to win again. »

Solid on serve and return

Auger-Aliassime wasn’t bothered by his opponent’s powerful serve, which finished off friend Denis Shapovalov in the Davis Cup semifinals in Malaga last November.

“Against Denis he had scored about twenty aces and I’m glad I didn’t experience that. If he had served the same way he did at Davis Cup, it would have been more complicated. It served with power, but it wasn’t precise enough. I dare to imagine that the quality of my returns made all the difference,” he surmised.

Auger-Aliassime, author of 13 aces against just one for the Italian and a 67% success rate on his first ball, shuffled his serves well to tease his opponent.

“I served very well and was very precise,” he explained. I varied my goals well and I felt like he didn’t know what to expect anymore. It happened on the first shots [service et retour] when I left, but I also took the lead in the changes after that. »

Bat

If he wasn’t troubling Auger-Aliassime, Sonego had kept two players in the top 10 in recent years.

A lucky loser, he beat Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals in Vienna 2020 while the Serb was number one and defeated Hubert Hurkacz in the semifinals in Metz 2022 en route to his third career title at the time. where the Pole found himself in 10th place.

Besides the big ones

Felix Auger-Aliassime

Because of his title last year, Félix Auger-Aliassime is entitled to his banner in the heights of Rotterdam Ahoy as well as a photo on the number one field.

“It is special to see my banner with those of Roger Federer and Andy Murray, emphasized Auger-Aliassime. It’s a tournament with a rich history. »

On Monday after training with the FAA at No. 1, Denmark’s Holger Rune jokingly wrote on his Twitter feed. “Now is not the time to miss a volley with Roger Federer looking on. In the photo attached to the message, we saw Rune in action with his idol’s photo in the background.

triumphant return

Felix Auger-Aliassime

Absent from Rotterdam for several years, Roger Federer made a comeback in 2018 just weeks after winning the Australian Open.

A good performance would allow him to climb to the top of the ATP rankings, a first in five years, which convinced him to return to the Netherlands. He didn’t do things by halves when he won the crowd-pulling tournament of his history.

“As tournament director, this is my best moment,” said Richard Krajicek, who took over as tournament director in 2004.

Former Winners

Felix Auger-Aliassime

In the history of the Rotterdam tournament, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, several big names in tennis have won the title. Roger Federer is one of them. The Swiss won in 2005, 2012 and 2018. He is the only one to claim three titles.

Jimmy Connors (1978 and 1981), Arthur Ashe (1975 and 1976), Gael Monfils (2019 and 2020) and Event Managing Director Richard Krajicek (1995 and 1997) were each awarded the highest honors twice.

Other notable winners include Andy Murray in 2009 and Bjorn Borg in 1979.

Initiations in Ice Hockey Our sport is sick

Initiations in Ice Hockey: Our sport is sick

The sport has had bad press for a number of months. More recently we talk about the initiation activities that took place in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for several years.

These demeaning, humiliating and unacceptable acts stopped several years ago, we are told. But is silence still relevant?

For many young people and their parents, physical activity, especially when it is a team sport, is a means to surpass themselves, to excel and to develop both physically and psychologically. What better way than team sports to learn to trust and be trustworthy? What better way than hockey to learn how to win and lose as a group?

initiate humiliation

What we’ve been learning lately is the opposite of what sport should be. Humiliate a comrade to welcome him? Attacking a newcomer to “celebrate” him?

It’s even more amazing when you learn that not only were coaches and high-level figures within the QMJHL aware of it, but some even took part in these humiliating activities.

It is said that humiliation and aggression as entry weapons into the sport are a thing of the past. We want to believe them, but can we still shed some light on this unhealthy subculture that is plaguing sports, and hockey in particular?

QS is right

Quebec Solidaire’s idea of ​​holding a parliamentary commission and convening the leaders of the QMJHL is not futile. It’s not about finding blame or pointing fingers, it’s about understanding the codes and norms of that culture, which has led leaders to curb those actions and efforts to ensure it doesn’t come back.

We are shouting from the rooftops that bullying is unacceptable at school and at work, why should we tolerate it being normal in the sports world?
