Victoria’s Secret is still trying to reimagine their runway show for a more inclusive era, but the results are mixed, at best. Yes, they have a little more body diversity on the runway, and this year featured two transgender models, but compared to a Savage x Fenty show, their most recently runway felt boring. I think the zeitgeist has just moved on from the VS show. It had its moment, I’m not sure they can bring it back. (Popsugar)
Lashana Lynch is starring in a new adaptation of The Day of the Jackal, in which Eddie Redmayne plays the legendary nameless assassin. Somewhere, Kayleigh Donaldson is shouting into the void about this casting. The series is airing on Sky in the UK and streaming on Peacock in the US. I really liked Lashana Lynch in No Time to Die, and since the Broccolis seem determined not to center anything in the James Bond universe on a woman, I will accept Lynch starring as an intelligence officer hunting an assassin as a substitute.
She turned up to the premiere in an Ottolinger dress she described as “simple”, which it definitely is not. Also, this appearance is how we learned Lashana Lynch is pregnant. Have the days of celebrities issuing pregnancy announcements finally passed? (Go Fug Yourself)
Keri Russell is more optimistic about the US election than I am. She also tells on Matthew Rhys, that she had to tell him to “step up” as a more hands-on parent to their son so that she could have the time away from home to work on The Diplomat. Well, that explains why Rhys suddenly started doing a ton of voice over roles, which can be recorded anywhere and don’t require the travel live action performances usually do. (Celebitchy)

It finally happened, Andrew Garfield appeared on Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date. This is the definition of the “people have died because of my fun and flirty personality” meme, and the vibes we need heading into the weekend.
Attached: Andrew (with a cardboard cutout of Florence Pugh) at the 'We Live in Time' premiere at the 68th BFI London Film Festival in London on October 17, 2024.
