Zoo's upright bear accused of being just a guy in a suit

A Chinese zoo has had to be completely trans-bear-ant about its popular sun bear, following allegations that it was actually a human in disguise. The Hangzhou Zoo in China gained international recognition after video footage of their sun bear standing on its hind legs and waving at visitors caused many to paws and look twice. Many were bear-side themselves with excitement as theories that it was a human in disguise continued to spread. The local Hangzhou Daily first reported on the attention that the four-year-old sun bear named Angela was receiving. “Because of the way they stand, some people online question whether they are ‘humans in disguise’,” they wrote. As Angela gained popularity, experts were summoned and had to confirm that the bear was in fact fur-real. Ashleigh Marshall, an expert from Chester Zoo, told BBC News that the animal “is definitely a real bear,” and affirmed to doubtful visitors that sun bears do often “look a lot like people in costumes”. The animal expert also pointed out that the folds on the sun bear’s back weren’t because the costume was loose, but its actual function is to protect the bear from predators and allow them to “turn around” and fight back if attacked. Various representatives of the zoo have had to come out and release statements addressing the controversy. A spokesperson has reportedly said that the state-run facility would never intentionally deceive people, in an audio clip circulating on popular Chinese social media platform WeChat. “Some people think I stand like a person,” read another social media post, written from the point of view of the bear. “It seems you don't understand me very well.” Another spokesperson for the zoo has also denied the allegations and said that a human in a fur bear suit “would not last more than a few minutes before collapsing” in the 40°C summer temperatures.

John Travolta’s iconic suit snatches a sweaty sum at auction

John Travolta’s sweat stains have hit the market, snagging a staggering sum, alongside the iconic Saturday Night Fever white three-piece suit. The look rose to international fame when Travolta - as Tony Manero - took to the dancefloor in the 1977 classic, joining Stephanie Mangano for an intense disco dance competition. But it was the film’s promotional imagery that truly immortalised the suit - despite popular, yet incorrect, belief that Travolta had flaunted it during his solo ‘Night Fever’ dance. In posters - as well as on VCR, DVD, and CD covers - Travolta can be seen with his right arm in the air, on a dancefloor, white polyester front and centre. As Costume designer Patrizia von Brandenstein explained to the New York Post, they were looking for “a white, three-piece suit: dressy, inexpensive and polyester. There was a producer who thought a black suit would be more elegant. But heroes wear white; it’s as simple as that. “The pastel suits were nice and pretty, but John’s character is very much a hero. Plus, it needed to be something that a boy who works in a paint store would be able to afford. I think the suit sold for $150 or $200.” Initially purchased off the rack in Brooklyn for $100, the jacket - with matching waistcoat, flared trousers, black shirt, and Travolta’s 45-year-old sweat stains - was expected to fetch up to $250,000 USD (~$374,000 AUD) when it went under the hammer at Los Angeles’ Julien’s Auctions. Despite its distinct lack of a thorough cleaning, the suit did find a new home, with a buyer dishing out a total of approximately $388,692 AUD to call it their own. As a spokesperson for the auction house explained, “This suit is considered to be one of the most iconic costumes in cinema history. It is one of only two known to exist that was used during production. It has never been exhibited or sold at auction before. “It has become emblematic of not only the film but of the whole disco era.” The suit in question was actually one of a few purchased by the film’s costume designer - two were used on set, rotated in and out while the other dried, and another was used for promotional material - and was given to Julien’s Auctions by an anonymous collector who had received it from Saturday Night Fever’s director, John Badham in 1991. As for why the iconic outfit was being sold in its unique condition, the executive director of Julien’s Auctions had a simple explanation. “The sweat is how you know it’s authentic,” Martin J Nolan told The Guardian. “It was incredibly hot during filming, so you can still see the sweat marks around his waist. We never wash memorabilia. People want the stains, the DNA, particularly when a suit like this one hasn’t been auctioned before.” Images: Getty

You also get postcard-worthy views of Central Park and Fifth Avenue from its floor-to-ceiling windows. While you pretty much have everything you need within the master suite – bedroom, private sitting area, spa-style bathroom, and expansive dressing room – you’ll want to take advantage of the entire 311 square metre suite, which includes an exquisite wood-panelled library and full kitchen. Conrad Bora Bora Nui <img src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/2022/11/2-Conrad-Bora-Bora-Nui-770.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="665" /> How do you make an overwater villa even more extravagant?

Recently renovated in clean neutrals and bespoke accents, the 233 square-metre suite features upholstery with Italian beading, handmade French trim and tassels, carved French mirrors, and English furniture. While the suite may offer many of the convenience as your own home, you probably don’t have a St. Regis Butler on hand to draw your shades and deliver your morning coffee or unpack and store your luggage.

How to find a hairstyle that best suits your face shape

Booking in a hair appointment can bring on both feelings of excitement as well as anxiousness. Joy in the hope of getting the best haircut of your life. Anxiety surrounds the daunting task of entrusting your locks over to someone else and not being able to articulate what you’re after. More often than not, though, getting adequate time in the chair to chat through your current hairstyle concerns, what options will bring out your best features and what style you want to go with, is a luxury that doesn’t get the time it deserves. The result of this situation? You leave the salon with a mediocre cut you don’t love. Before your next haircut, spend time thinking about what suits your face shape. To help you make a considered choice, Over60 spoke to two hairdressers about how to make your locks best complement your bone structure. Aleks Abadia, co-founder and hair director at <a href="http://esstudio.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Esstudio Galleria</a> along with hairstylist, educator and <a href="http://www.philips.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phillips</a> HairCare ambassador, Lizzie Liros, offer their advice on what hairstyle will work best for you. Round face Both Aleks and Lizzie agree that in order to give more dimension to a round face, it’s all about creating layers and texture. Aleks suggests, “A side part or fringe gradually longer at the sides will help your face appear slender”. Lizzie, on the other hand, suggests a slightly more daring cut. “A short, pixie cut helps soften the roundness of the face and draws attention to facial features or the hairstyle itself, rather than the face shape. Or, a long bob that sits at the collarbone is another beautiful style for round faces, helping lengthen the face”. Whatever style you choose, be sure to work in texture or even colour variation in the form of highlights. Square or heart-shaped face For those with a square or heart-shaped face, it’s important to balance out your strong bone structure. Aleks says “layering at the front adds texture. A centre part and longer sides will also help to soften the face shape”. Lizzie’s ideal haircut for square-shaped faces is a mid-length, layered bob. “This style will help move attention away from the jawline, to the cheekbones. If you want to wear your hair longer, just ensure you add in lots of layers (or soft curls) to soften the sharper angles of a square face shape”. Oval face For those lucky oval-shaped beauties out there, we have good news. Aleks refers to this as “The perfect head” because “almost any style will suit and a sweeping bang will always add something a little extra to your style!” If you want to draw attention away from your “long face”, Lizzie says that any soft fringe with movement helps shorten the face and draws attention to features such as the eyes. “Layers, soft waves or curls on either long or mid-length styles help frame an oval face making the face appear more rounded. An all-in-one length would draw attention to the long facial shape.” Oblong face An oblong face shape is longer than an oval shape, so you can get away with heavy, dramatic fringes. Aleks warns about controlling the style though. “If hair is kept at one length, this will make the face appear longer. Layers, texture and volume is the way to go.” Lizzie agrees, explaining that “The body and wave will help soften the long, straight lines of the oblong face shape and create a really pretty overall finish”. Diamond face Lizzie explains, “With a diamond face shape we want to draw attention away from the wearers narrow chin, minimize the wide cheek-bones and shorten the face length”. According to Aleks, there are a few ways to do this. “They can do both short structured bold cuts or long cuts with lots of layers and movement.” What really works for diamond-face shapes is long sweeping layers, pulled back styles, deep side parts and soft fringes around the forehead. Just be sure to avoid too much volume at the crown or around the sides of the face. Triangular face For triangular faces, Aleks swears by “A blunt bob, with a face-framing bang”. This will soften the face with very subtle layers to add soft movement. However, Lizzie disagrees, arguing that you want to avoid styles that draw attention to your jawline, so blunt bobs are out! She instead suggests “long, soft layers styled with waves, a short pixie cut (fringe cut very short) or textured mid length styles with a soft layered fringe are all gorgeous styles for this face shape.” Image credits: Getty Images

Australia’s decisive win on plain packaging paves way for other countries to follow suit

The decision, <a href="https://www.wto.org/english/news_e/news20_e/435_441abr_e.htm">handed down on June 9 by the World Trade Organisation’s appeals body</a>, that Australia’s plain packaging tobacco control policy doesn’t flout WTO laws marks the end of almost a decade of legal wrangling over this landmark public health policy. And more importantly, it paves the way for other nations around the world to follow Australia’s lead. In 2012 Australia became the first country in the world to implement <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2011A00148">tobacco plain packaging laws</a>, having recognised that the tobacco industry uses packaging both to market cigarettes and to undermine health warnings. The industry has long acknowledged the powerful role of packaging design in attracting consumers and reinforcing brand image. A <a href="https://www.printinnovationasia.com/single-post/2017/01/18/The-Premiumisation-of-Cigarette-Packaging-in-Indonesia">2017 trade article</a> on the “premiumisation” of cigarettes explained the rationale behind glossy packaging: Features such as velvet touch, soft touch, etching, rise and relief can be applied across the surface of the packaging to make the product more impactful and raise customer engagement. The look of the packaging such as intense metallics through the use of foil simulation inks can also give cigarette packaging the luxurious effect and adds on to the premium feel of the product. A Cancer Research UK video shows how children react to glossy cigarette packs. The “plain packaging” mandated by Australia’s laws is in fact anything but. It features <a href="https://www.health.gov.au/health-topics/smoking-and-tobacco/tobacco-control/tobacco-plain-packaging">graphic, full-colour health warnings</a> presented on a drab brown background. Brand logos, designs, emblems, and slogans are banned; product brand names remain, but must appear in a standardised font. The result means tobacco packages can no longer serve as mini billboards that make cigarettes look aspirational and desirable. Legal challenges The tobacco industry launched three separate legal challenges to the law. First, JT International and British American Tobacco filed a lawsuit in the Australian High Court. Next, tobacco firm Philip Morris sought legal protection for its packaging designs under an existing investment treaty between Australia and Hong Kong. Finally, the industry filed a dispute through the WTO on behalf of four tobacco-producing countries: Cuba, Honduras, Indonesia and the Dominican Republic. In 2012 the High Court <a href="https://www.tobaccocontrollaws.org/litigation/decisions/au-20121005-jt-intl.-and-bat-australasia-l">ruled in favour of the Australian government</a>, and in 2015 the investment treaty tribunal <a href="https://www.tobaccocontrollaws.org/litigation/decisions/au-20151217-philip-morris-asia-v-australia">dismissed Philip Morris Asia’s claim</a>. The WTO also <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-wto-tobacco-ruling/australia-wins-landmark-wto-ruling-on-plain-tobacco-packaging-idUSKBN1JO2BF">ruled in Australia’s favour</a> in 2018, but the Dominican Republic and Honduras appealed. That appeal was denied last week, meaning all legal challenges to Australia’s plain packaging laws have now been finally and decisively overruled – more than a decade after the then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd <a href="https://tobaccolabels.ca/australia-announces-plain-packaging/">first announced the policy</a> in April 2010. No more industry blocking The <a href="https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/435_441abr_conc_e.pdf">WTO’s appeal body agreed</a> plain packaging laws are likely to improve public health and that they are not unfairly restrictive to trade. The appeal was not expected to succeed, so the ruling comes as no surprise. But despite this, legal wrangling has become a <a href="https://untobaccocontrol.org/kh/legal-challenges/court-cases-litigation-policy-brief/">standard tobacco industry practice</a>, particularly through international channels such as the WTO. One reason is because the slow and cumbersome legal process can serve as a deterrent to other countries, who may hold off implementing similar laws until the legal outcome is known. Encouragingly, this stalling tactic seems to be losing its power. Countries such as France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, and New Zealand have all forged ahead with plain packaging legislation despite the outstanding appeal. Now, however, lower-income countries can also confidently pursue plain packaging measures <a href="https://www.mccabecentre.org/news-and-updates/tobacco-plain-packaging-legal-victory-for-australia.html">without fear of falling foul of the WTO</a>. What next? Australia’s plain packaging law was groundbreaking at the time. But now the tobacco industry has responded with a range of tactics to exploit loopholes and offset the impact on their brands, meaning governments need to come up with yet more countermeasures. Once plain packaging was implemented, the tobacco industry quickly trademarked new brand names, such as Imperial Tobacco’s <a href="https://open.sydneyuniversitypress.com.au/9781743323977/rtec-the-future.html">Peter Stuyvesant + Loosie</a>, which contains 21 cigarettes instead of 20, and advertises the bonus cigarette within the name. Canada’s <a href="https://www.cancer.ca/en/about-us/for-media/media-releases/national/2019/plain-packaging-regulations/?region=qc">plain packaging laws</a>, enacted in February 2020, directly control the size and shape of the cigarettes themselves. For example, the law bans slim cigarettes targeted at young women who associate smoking with slimness and fashion. Widespread plain packaging could also help curb the <a href="https://theconversation.com/big-tobacco-wants-social-media-influencers-to-promote-its-products-can-the-platforms-stop-it-129957">uprise in tobacco marketing via social media influencers</a>. A tobacco pack covered in gruesome disease imagery doesn’t make for inspiring social media content. The WTO upheld Australia’s plain packaging laws because the government had convincing public health research to show the positive impact of plain packaging on public attitudes to smoking. Seen in that light, the decision isn’t just a win for public health. It’s also an encouraging sign that evidence-based policies can defeat even the deepest of corporate pockets.

3 hotels in Perth to suit every budget

Perth, despite being the capital city of Western Australia, is a country town that woke up one day and realised it was a city. That’s how the residents describe it, but Ryan Mossny agrees. He told <a href="https://www.escape.com.au/destinations/australia/western-australia/best-new-hotels-in-perth-for-every-budget/news-story/538a9e7d07dda1092d0f4ebb14f90ebb">Escape</a>: “The appeal of Perth is near perfect weather, pristine beaches, an amazing restaurant and bar scene,” he explains “(There’s) lots of things to do.” Ryan says the highlights can be found within the city in Fremantle and Scarborough. “The city for obvious reasons,” he says. “Freo [Fremantle] is spectacular with its convict-built buildings, bohemian lifestyle and the only licensed beach in the country. With the Scarborough redevelopment, you now have lots of cool places to eat and drink, night-time markets and the pool.” 1.

Duchess Meghan's multi-million dollar offer to return to Suits for “one last” episode

Before she became a royal, the Duchess of Sussex was known for her role as the sassy Rachel Zane on US TV show Suits, and now, the drama’s network NBC is ready to fork out big bucks for the former actress to make a return. NBC Universal, the network behind the show, is ready to offer Meghan a lucrative deal as it plans to make a multi-million dollar donation to the charity of her choice, if she reprises her role for one episode. Producers want to film a two-minute clip of the Duchess’ character Rachel Zane pregnant, as they show her living in the UK. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIyTAYFwFc/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIyTAYFwFc/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (@duchessofsussexmeghan)</a> on Jan 2, 2019 at 7:31am PST </div> </blockquote> An insider from NBC spoke to the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/" target="_blank">Daily Star</a> and said: “We could be done in half a day or less. “No final figure has yet been arrived at, but negotiations are likely to be opened in the very near future. “I’ve heard sums ranging from two to six million being kicked around and that sounds a lot – but it would be one of the biggest marketing coups in TV history.” Before marrying Prince Harry in a lavish ceremony, Meghan was a regular on Suits, as she starred in the hit drama series from 2010 up until April last year. Her character was shown to marry her on-screen boyfriend Mike Ross, played by Patrick J Adams. Executives at NBC have said that if the Duchess agrees on making an appearance, the storyline could “mirror real-life” as her character will be shown living in the UK and pregnant with her first child. If Meghan chooses to reprise her role, it would prove to be a massive hit for the show’s ratings. Do you think the Duchess should return to Suits? Let us know in the comments below.

She was a part of the show for nine seasons playing Rachel Zane, and now Meghan Markle’s former Suits co-stars – who were lucky enough to score an invite to her fairytale wedding to Prince Harry – have shared their magical memories and highlights of the big day. Gabriel Macht, who plays Harvey Specter, and Sarah Rafferty, who plays Donna Roberta Paulsen on the hit show, have revealed their favourite moments to Entertainment Tonight. <img width="308" height="434" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7818985/screen-shot-2018-06-06-at-82014-pm.png" alt="Screen Shot 2018-06-06 At 8.20.14 Pm"/> Sarah Rafferty and her husband Santtu Seppala arriving at the royal wedding. One of the highlights for Rafferty was seeing her now Duchess friend walk down the aisle in her glorious Givenchy wedding gown. “It was a wonderful moment to get to see [Meghan] on that day and in that moment,” Rafferty told ET. “It was special.” Rafferty added, “Seeing [Meghan] walk in on her own, in that moment before she met up with Prince Charles to walk the rest of the way, that was amazing.” <img width="497" height="260" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7818984/screen-shot-2018-06-06-at-81809-pm_497x260.jpg" alt="Screen Shot 2018-06-06 At 8.18.09 Pm"/> As well as being two of the lucky 600 people invited to witness the royal wedding ceremony at St Georges Chapel, the two guests (along with their spouses) were also part of the smaller and more intimate exclusive wedding reception, which hosted 200 guests at Frogmore House. “It was surprising to see Elton John play I’m Still Standing. He’s still standing, he was incredible and that was an incredible moment,” Macht shared of the lunchtime wedding reception following the ceremony. <img width="276" height="435" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7818986/screen-shot-2018-06-06-at-82101-pm.png" alt="Screen Shot 2018-06-06 At 8.21.01 Pm"/> Gabriel Macht and his Australian actress wife Jacinda Barrett at the royal wedding. “I think, overall, just to be a part of such an uplifting story, you know?

Her new bio on <a href="https://www.royal.uk/">www.royal.uk</a> went live the day after her wedding to Prince Harry, and happily highlighted in great detail Meghan’s activism and humanitarian work with UN Women, World Vision and One Young World. However, it downplayed her successful acting career with merely a passing mention to “filming in Toronto”. “While filming in Toronto, The Duchess actively volunteered at a Canadian soup kitchen from 2011-2013,” the official royals’ website noted. “She also established the program at her place of work to ensure that leftover meals from the set were donated to local homeless shelters.” Many fans were quick to point out the lack of detail regarding the former actress’s acting career, including appearing on seven seasons of Suits as Rachel Zane. “I’m so very much in love with Meghan Markle bio on the royal website, BUT WHERE IS HER SUITS AND DEAL OR NO DEAL CAREER,” @vodkamuffin tweeted on Twitter. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> I'm so very much in love with Meghan Markle bio on the royal website, BUT WHERE IS HER SUITS AND DEAL OR NO DEAL CAREER 🤣 <a href="https://t.co/eSAMj16wC0">https://t.co/eSAMj16wC0</a> — Meg (@vodkamuffin) <a href="https://twitter.com/vodkamuffin/status/998777677040373760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 22, 2018</a></blockquote> “As inspirational as it is that the new #DuchessofSussex #MeghanMarkle has been given the blessing of the royal family to continue her charitable efforts and voice her feminist opinions, it is sad that her bio excludes her background as an actress. She should be celebrated,” wrote @StyleSeeLondon on Twitter. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> As inspirational as it is that the new <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DuchessofSussex?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DuchessofSussex</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MeghanMarkle?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MeghanMarkle</a> has been given the blessing of the royal family to continue her charitable efforts and voice her feminist opinions, it is sad that her bio excludes her background as an actress.

It now states: “After university Her Royal Highness worked as an actress, appearing in film and television. She most notably played the role of Rachel Zane on the series Suits for seven seasons, completing over 100 episodes. While working on Suits, The Duchess moved to Toronto, Canada where the show was filmed; she feels very connected to Canada, as it became a second home to her.” Speaking about her retirement from acting in her first joint interview with then-fiance Prince Harry late last year, Meghan said, “I’ve ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I’ve done there, and now it’s time to work with [Harry] as a team.”

How Meghan Markle used a code name for Prince Harry

It isn’t easy to keep things on the down-low when you’re dating one of the most famous eligible bachelors in the world, but Meghan Markle did her best to keep things under wraps, even with her co-stars and friends on the set of her TV show, Suits. Her former castmate Wendell Pierce (who played her father on the show for seven years) revealed to Harry Connick Jr. that he and his on-screen daughter would often talk about Prince Harry using code. <img width="498" height="280" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7267904/http_2f2fprodstatic9netau2f_2fmedia2f20182f022f072f072f352f180207_meghanwendell_498x280.jpg" alt="Http _%2F%2Fprod .static 9.net .au %2F_%2Fmedia %2F2018%2F02%2F07%2F07%2F35%2F180207_Meghan Wendell" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/> “We always talked about him in code really,” he said. “You know, ‘How you doing?’, ‘Oh I’m going to London, coming from London’, whatever.” The actor also revealed the sweet words of farewell he and Meghan shared when she announced her departure from the show in November. “I had a really wonderful moment as we were coming to an end of her time on the show. It was just she and I in the room and I said, ‘I know your life is going to change but always know, no matter where you are, I will always be your loving fake father.’” When Meghan and Harry announced their engagement, Pierce was one of the first to congratulate them, tweeting his “blessing”. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Congratulations to my TV daughter Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on the news of their wedding engagement. Harry you have her TV Father’s blessing.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness have been labelled as "couple goals" by fans after attending the Sydney premiere of The Greatest Showman in matching suits.

Hugh wore a white tie with a black pattern and Deborra-lee wore a skinny black tie and a waistcoat. <img width="450" height="577" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7266169/1.jpg" alt="1 (66)"/> Deborra-lee also wore three-quarter trousers and platform shoes. Hugh, who has a reputation as being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, happily mingled with fans despite the downpour. The Aussie actor gripped an umbrella as he posed for selfies with admirers.

Why Meghan Markle was pressured to lie about her age

Prince Harry’s bride-to-be Meghan Markle has revealed to The Sun that she was pressured to lie about her age in order to get more acting roles. Her agents advised her to gloss over her real age if she wanted to avoid being rejected by producers for being over 30. The Sun has uncovered an interview from 2015, where Ms Markle is reported as saying that, “I think that as women actors, the industry can assume they have a shelf life. “I’m always told, ‘Don’t say your age’. I’m 33 and I’m really comfortable with that. I think if anyone has a problem then it’s their problem, not mine. “I think in television, you are seeing a shift of women who are not in their 20s who play strong women.” Ms Markle, now 36, was best known for her starring role in the US TV drama Suits before becoming engaged to Prince Harry in November this year. They plan to marry on May 19, 2018. Have you ever lied about your age or felt pressured to? We would love to hear your story in the comments.

Melania Trump looks chic in tailored suit

Melania Trump is no stranger to being criticised for her fashion choices. She’s <a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/travel/travel-insurance/2017/08/melania-trump-causes-stir-with-her-outfit-when-visiting-storm-ravaged-texas/" target="_blank">caused a stir for wearing heels</a> while visiting storm-ravaged Texas, she’s been <a href="/lifestyle/beauty-style/2017/09/melania-trump-mocked-online-while-speaking-out-about-bullying/" target="_blank">laughed at for her oversized pink dress</a> at a UN luncheon and, most recently, <a href="/lifestyle/beauty-style/2017/10/melania-trump-mocked-yet-again-for-her-outfit-choice/" target="_blank">mocked for her outfit</a> on a visit to hurricane-devastated Puerto Rico. But her latest is being talked about for all the right reasons. Welcoming Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie, the First Lady opted for an menswear-inspired grey pinstripe suit with an undone black tie, and we think it’s one of her best looks yet. <img width="500" height="750" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/44237/59debc031ffb3_gettyimages_860244860_59debbd6cdd62_500x750.jpg" alt="59debc 031ffb 3_gettyimages _860244860_59debbd 6cdd 62 (1)" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/> She’s certainly challenging the stereotypical First Lady look, and it looks like it might be paying off! We’re definitely getting some Annie Hall vibes from this outfit. Do you like her new look? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

How to pack a suit in a carry bag without ruining it

Want to arrive with your suit still looking dry cleaner fresh? It’s not impossible. 1. Skip the garment bag. It used to be an inflight mainstay, but fashion experts now say that it’s more convenient – and better for your suit – to fold it carefully and keep it in your carry on bag. 2. Fold the suit jacket in half so that the lining is on the outside. It should look inside out, but don’t pull the arms through. 3. Fold it in half horizontally, so the jacket becomes almost a square shape. To prevent hard creases, you can put a soft jumper or tshirt inside the horizontal fold of the jacket. 4. Next, hold the suit pants up from the bottom hems and find their natural break. Lay them down flat along their natural crease, with on leg of the pants on top of the other. 5. Lay the suit jacket in the middle of the pants. Fold up the top and bottom of the pants, wrapping the jacket inside the folds. 6. For protection, you can wrap the whole bundle in the dry cleaning plastic or a very thin plastic bag. 7. For your matching dress shirt, button it up the whole way, fold in half vertically with the sleeves tucked inside and then roll up from the bottom. Ties and belts should also be rolled. Store these softer items around the suit for cushioning. 8. When you arrive, unpack the suit straight away and hang it up. You can request an iron or steamer from the front desk if you want to give it a little refresh. Alternatively, hang the suit in the bathroom when you have a hot shower – the steam will work wonders.
