The homecoming of Oasis in their long-awaited Manchester gig turned into a family affair with the children of Noel and Liam Gallagher pictured together backstage for a gig many in the city thought would never happen.

More than 70,000 people descended on Manchester to witness the concert in Heaton Park, with the Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, among the crowds.

Guardiola had the song D’You Know What I Mean dedicated to him by Liam, who referred to the Spaniard as “the boss”, calling him the “greatest manager of all time”, a comment which provided the only decisive moment for the adoring crowd – many of whom hailed from the red half of the city.

Guardiola was pictured with Liam’s two sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, and Noel’s three children Anais, 25, Donovan, 17 and Sonny, 14. Gene, whose mother is Liam’s ex-wife Nicole Appleton, shared the image to Instagram, with the caption: “Pic of the century alright now everyone els fuck off.”

Noel also dedicated the song Half The World Away to Royale Family actor Craig Cash and his co-star Caroline Aherne, who died of cancer in July 2016, at the age of 52. The song was used as the theme tune in the BBC comedy.

At about 8.20pm, the brothers walked on to the stage together to deafening cheers from crowds. Liam, wearing a zipped-up parka in 30C weather, held his older brother’s hand and raised it.

The duo started with their song Hello, which was followed by Acquiesce. Morning Glory came after in a set that was full of the band’s greatest hits. Fans had to wait until the encore to hear Don’t Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall.

Greater Manchester police said the event passed “without incident”, although six men were arrested and in custody for a range of reasons including being drunk and disorderly and on suspicion of drug and fraud offences. Five drones were also seized after breaches of airspace restrictions.

Oasis-fever gripped the city this week before the gig. Huge pictures of the brothers were splashed on the side of the city’s yellow buses, and Liam Gallagher’s voice made on the Metrolink tram network, telling fans: “The next stop is … Heaton Parrrk,” before adding: “Off you go.”

The Guardian spoke to fans queueing for the gig before it began, including some who had travelled from as far as the US and Mexico. Many were wearing bucket hats in the scorching heat.

In a post on social media, the band urged concertgoers to “wear a (bucket) hat”, put on sun screen, stay hydrated, seek shade and look after one another at Heaton Park.

Carley Williams, 27, from Boston, in the US, spent more than $15,000 (£11,000) to visit Manchester for two weeks and see the five home town gigs.

“I’ve just never been more excited in my life,” she said. “This is like what I’ve lived my life to do, so I just have never experienced this level of anticipation in my life, and I’m just loving every minute of it.”

The five sold-out shows there follow the band’s first comeback gigs in Cardiff last week. In a five-star review, the Guardian called it a “triumph in the bag”.

After Manchester, Oasis will visit London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park throughout July, August and September.

A giant wicker shark has marked the start of a month-long campaign to raise awareness of marine conservation in Devon.

The 20ft (6m) handcrafted basking shark, created by Falmouth University lecturer Duncan Cameron, was installed at Royal William Yard, Plymouth, to mark Shark Month.

The Shark Trust said it was running a programme of awareness, art and advocacy throughout July to promote the importance of shark conservation.

Paul Cox, the charity’s chief executive, said this year’s campaign would celebrate “the incredible world of sharks”.

Mr Cox said: “We’ve created lots of fun and fascinating ways for all the family to engage with the vital issues of conservation whilst diving into and celebrating the incredible world of sharks.”

The programme includes a 360-degree virtual reality shark experience, wine tastings inspired by Great White habitats, rock pooling adventures and film screenings.

The shark was created from salvaged bamboo, willow and pallet wood.

Prince William’s future king ‘aura’ approved by fans after his headline-making outing without his better half, Princess Kate. 

The Princess of Wales returned to the polo field to raise over £1 million for charity in the Outsourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup 2025 at Guards Polo Club in Windsor.

Dressed in sports-appropriate attire, William looked dashing on a saddle and secured a victory. 

As per Kensington Palace, the money raised from the match will be given to ten charities chosen by the Prince and Princess of Wales. 

As the photos of the future King playing polo went viral, netizens began gushing over the father-of-three’s physique and charming appearance. 

Express reported, one fan wrote on X, “Prince William is looking good in Windsor today and raising £1 million today for his charities.”

“All I see is Prince William’s aura,” another chimed in. 

One more well-wisher of the Wales family said, “Prince William is looking good. The future King oozes positive masculinity.”

It has been said that the Prince of Wales gave tough competition to his wife, Catherine, who often grabbed the attention of fans with her regal personality. 

In the meantime, UK and international fans can only stream South Park special episodes on Paramount Plus. These include South Park: Post-COVID, South Park: The Streaming Wars, South Park: The End of Obesity and South Park: Joining The Panderverse, as well as the first film, South Park: Bigger Longer, & Uncut.

UK fans can watch repeats of the series on Comedy Central, though, so all hope is not lost.

There’s certainly been some behind-the-scenes drama relating to the release of episodes so perhaps this recent spate of news isn’t all that surprising. Show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been locked into a streaming rights battle with Paramount Global, which has also contributed to the season 27 premiere being pushed back.

It was originally supposed to premiere on 9th July and has since been changed to the 23rd, something that Parker and Stone aren’t happy about.

In a tweet posted to the official South Park X account, a statement read: “In response to the press release from Comedy Central about the change in premiere date for South Park Trey Parker & Matt Stone said — ‘This merger is a s**tshow and it’s f**king up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.’”

While season 27 is set to premiere this month for US viewers at least, the rest of us will just have to bide our time and wait to see if there’s a positive streaming outcome for negotiations which can mean that fans can easily access old and new episodes.

Fans have taken to social media to air their grievances over the removal of South Park episodes, with Paramount Plus releasing the following message: “We understand your frustration. Unfortunately, South Park has come to the end of the window in which we have the rights to carry it on Paramount+ which is why it has now had to come down from the platform.

“If you wish to cancel your Paramount+ subscription and forfeit the promotion applied to your account, please confirm the email address associated with the account you wish to close. Once we receive your information, we’ll respond with confirmation that your subscription has been cancelled.”

In the first episode of Lena Dunham’s new Netflix sitcom Too Much, viewers might be taken with cameos from Dunham, Jessica Alba and the model Emily Ratajkowski, or the burgeoning romance between Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe. But – as far as fashion is concerned – it’s nighties that have a starring role.

Early in the episode, Stalter wears a short frilled red nightie, with her dog in a matching design. Later, she wears a white frilled floor-length design, and it’s clear the item is something of a signature. If it’s a cute quirk for a character, it’s also in line with wider trends.

Pyjamas have come out of the bedroom and into daywear over the last decade. Nighties might be in line to perform the same trick. The actor Daisy Edgar-Jones and model Kaia Gerber have worn nightdresses in daylight, with Gerber collaborating with the California-inspired brand Dôen last year to create her own. Sabrina Carpenter is known for her babydoll nighties, while Addison Rae wore a nightie-like dress for her performance at Coachella.

Most people will still associate pyjamas and nighties with bed – a private space which has, until recently, been free from fashion trends. A survey by YouGov in 2022 found that most people in the UK slept in pyjamas (47%) while 20% slept in their underwear and 20% slept naked.

Post-pandemic, clothing worn at home is much more on the radar of fashion. Like Parker Posey’s in The White Lotus, Stalter’s nightie is likely to prompt others to think about switching from pyjamas when turning out the light.

The design, which costs £130, is made by a British nightie brand If Only If. Its owner, Emily Campbell – who also made the bespoke nightie for the dog – says the popularity is already increasing. “Our annual growth is between 80% and 90% and this year is looking to be more,” she says. She anticipates that Too Much will increase the demand, although she won’t alter her small-batch production model. “They will sell out,” she says. “I’m fine with that. I’m never going to over-produce and have a load of nightgowns left over.”

The high street is also seeing more interest in the nightie. John Lewis reports searches for “nightdress” increased by 21% from 2024 to 2025, with sales up 14%. Cotton designs – such as a £34 white seersucker nightie – are particularly popular this summer.

The heatwave might well be a factor for a rise in popularity – cotton nighties are a cool option. If Only If was founded by Campbell’s mother, Issy Falkner, who was going through menopause at the time. “I think that definitely had a bearing on her wanting to wear natural materials,” says Campbell. The brand’s cotton is organic, and “just the most beautiful thing to sleep in”.

If Too Much is the latest example of the nightie on screen, other notable moments include Sofia Coppola’s first film, The Virgin Suicides, and Grace Kelly’s nightwear in Rear Window. Elena Babić documents these moments in her Instagram account Nightgowns in Cinema. “Nightgowns have charm and grace,” she says. “They make you feel like an old Hollywood star about to dramatically crash into silky bedsheets and cry, [or] like a 2000s teen girl about to call her best friend from a spiral-cord phone.”

In recent years, pyjamas have dominated romcom screen time – as worn by Bridget Jones in the original 2001 film – and they remain a popular bedtime choice.

Another trend at John Lewis is mix-and-match designs – with sales up 55%. Marks & Spencer, meanwhile, reports that pyjamas with shorts are popular, with sales up 20% this year.

Naomi Pike, a commissioning editor at Elle UK, has about 20 pairs of pyjamas. “It helps how I sleep,” she says, “if I have clean pyjamas that fit well, feel good.” She buys two or three sizes up for extra comfort. Meanwhile, Babić – despite her love of the nightie – wears an oversized T-shirt and shorts to bed. “[Nighties] make me feel trapped,” she says.

“We admire them, but when it’s time for real rest, we always reach for the comfiest and safest option.”

Of course, an alternative is nighties making the move from bed to daywear. “It feels like it will be this summer’s story,” says Pike. “They feel quite gentle … we all need a bit more gentleness.”

If, up till now, sightings of the nightie trend has been limited to thin celebrities, Stalter will open the trend up. “It can bring liberation to people who aren’t used to seeing their figure on the screen so much,” says Pike. “I think it could encourage [people to] think ‘Oh, I’m a curvier figure and I can still wear this trend, and I will wear this trend, and this is how I can wear it.’”

US rap star 50 Cent took to the stage accompanied by scantily-clad dancers as he closed the first night of Trnsmt.

The New York singer appeared on stage at Glasgow Green for a salacious performance which included a backdrop of neon signs with images including lollipops and 50 Cent coins.

Fiddy, part of G-Unit, got people dancing with hits including PIMP and Candy Shop.

He performed with a series of female dancers who wore lingerie and denim shorts.

His set was at one point punctuated with the sound of gunshots.

Napoli footballer and Scotland international Billy Gilmour was spotted in the crowd on Friday evening.

Australian electro-pop act Confidence Man performed a 2000s dance music-inspired set on the King Tut’s stage.

The duo opened with Now U Do, and wore what appeared to be bridal-inspired outfits and performed a choreographed dance routine despite the heat.

The news that Jane Birkin’s original Hermès bag has sold for a record-breaking €8.6m (£7.4m) at auction will no doubt cause some jaws to drop to the floor. However, perhaps it should not surprise – this is a bag design that is often linked to eyewatering amounts of money. Forty years on from the prototype, it’s now less a (very expensive) symbol of style and elegance, and more a way to signal you have a lot of money and you would like everyone to know that.

A Birkin has always been expensive – about $10,000 (£7,400), according to the Guardian last year – but the complicating factor is demand. As was reported, two California residents sued Hermès for a practice known as “tying”, which means customers are expected to pre-spend a sufficient amount on other items, such as homewares or jewellery – some say up to $30,000 – before they are even put on the waiting list for a Birkin. Therefore, wearing one on your arm – to those in the know – shows you have the disposable income that not only means you can buy the bag, but also go through with this practice in the first place.

The TV show Your Friends & Neighbours – in which Jon Hamm stars as a banker who loses his job and resorts to stealing from his wealthy friends to keep up his lifestyle – alludes to this in an episode where Hamm’s character attempts to steal a Birkin from an alarmed table of the bags in a luxurious closet. In a montage explaining the lore of the handbag, he comments “there is no more obnoxious or coveted status symbol than the Hermès Birkin”.

It’s hard not to agree. With this culture around the bag, it has lost its fashion appeal. See Beyoncé’s lyric in her 2022 track Summer Renaissance, which replaces the Birkin with the more affordable and fashionable Telfar shopping bag, one so popular in Brooklyn that it’s sometimes called the “Bushwick Birkin”. “This Telfar bag imported,” she sings. “Birkins? Them shit’s in storage.”

The Birkin is now a favourite of glossy and put-together women. Victoria Beckham is said to have more than 100, and Kylie Jenner also collects them (Singaporean socialite Jamie Chua apparently has the biggest collection). For the Sotheby’s auction, it was rumoured that representatives of Lauren Sanchez and Kris Jenner were on the phone attempting to bid, although the bag eventually went to a collector in Japan. An article in Vogue revealed who was in the room: collectors with an eye on the value of this item rather than someone wanting to use it as a receptacle. “I’ve been telling people to invest in Hermès bags for years!” comments Sara Abou-Khalil, a client of Sotheby’s who also collects contemporary art.

All of this contrasts to the bag’s beginnings. Jane Birkin was an icon of bohemianism who campaigned for abortion rights and against the far right and originally donated her bag to an auction to raise money for an Aids charity in 1994. Loved for her style, Birkin was gorgeous and chic but she was also scruffy, with wild hair and clothes that didn’t always appear to be completely ironed.

The original bag shows Birkin’s approach to the design during the nine years she owned it – it’s lived-in: scuffed, with marks from the stickers that she regularly put on it, for organisations such as Unicef.

It’s this part of the bag’s life that remains charming – and influential. A TV clip of her showing what was inside her bag in 1988 is a favourite on TikTok, with a pile of papers, notebooks, pens, mascara and more emerging. The way she decorated her bag is so loved that it inspired the “Birkinifying your bag” trend last year, where people added trinkets and charms. Arguably, this was the prelude to the Labubu craze, with the critters becoming the prized object to have hanging on any bag in 2025. The love of Labubus is already going the way of the Birkin – they retail for about £21, but sell for a lot more: a human-sized doll sold at auction last month for £127,000.

The lesson? Whether it’s a monster with spiky teeth or a battered bag with old stickers, fashion will always find a way to get people to spend a lot of money on obnoxious and coveted status symbols. But who knows? Maybe the buyer is a fan of Birkinifying and they’ll soon be walking around Japan with a bag draped in charms, with a Free Tibet sticker on its £7m leather.

This story contains some spoilers for “Superman.”

In James Gunn’s “Superman,” the titular superhero is devastated when he learns that his birth parents sent him to Earth to subjugate humanity.

In theaters now, the film is set a few years into Superman’s caped career. The Kryptonian — who grew up as Clark Kent on a farm in Smallville, Kan. — always believed a message left to him by these birth parents was an encouragement to use his powers to be a protector and hero. He is more than shaken to learn that was never the case.

It’s Clark’s human father, Jonathan, who points out that the message’s intent doesn’t really matter.

“Your choices [and] your actions, that’s what makes you who you are,” he says to his son.

Being an alien refugee might be why Superman has his superpowers, but it’s who he is as a person that makes him a superhero. And although it is mostly left unsaid, Clark’s kindness and values come from how he was raised — by loving parents in America’s heartland.

Despite “Superman” being as all-American as ever, the movie has become the most recent front in America’s never-ending culture war because of comments made by Gunn acknowledging the character is an immigrant.

But Superman is more a story about the triumph of assimilation and opportunity. As the new movie also shows, Superman would not be Superman if he was not raised by Martha and Jonathan Kent on a farm in Kansas. And as much as Superman is undeniably an immigrant, it’s hard to deny in the current political climate that he also resembles the type of immigrants who have traditionally been more embraced in this country.

Since early last month, the Trump administration has aggressively targeted Latino communities across California. Immigration raids have seemingly indiscriminately taken people from their workplace, on their way to court and even in parking lots. Federal officials have pushed back on claims that these operations have targeted people “because of their skin color.” According to federal authorities, more than 2,700 undocumented immigrants have been arrested in L.A. since early June.

This is not the first time the U.S. government has targeted specific communities of color because of their ancestry. During World War II, 120,000 people of Japanese descent were incarcerated in wartime camps regardless of their citizenship.

Gunn, however, has long maintained that his “Superman” is “a movie about kindness [and] being good.”

The filmmaker, who has been outspoken in his criticism of President Trump, told the London Times that “Superman is the story of America. … An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country.” He reiterated that the movie is about “human kindness.”

The backlash was swift, with familiar right-wing commentators and personalities criticizing the film for allegedly being “superwoke” before it was released. Even former Superman actor Dean Cain has spoken out against Gunn’s comments and the perceived politicization of the character’s story.

In response, comic book fans, including Democratic politicians, have pointed out that Superman — an alien born on the planet Krypton, sent to Earth to escape his planet’s destruction — has always been an immigrant.

“The Superman story is an immigration story of an outsider who tries to always do the most good,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Long Beach) posted Wednesday on X. “His arch nemesis is a billionaire. You don’t get to change who he is because you don’t like his story. Comics are political.”

“Superman was an undocumented immigrant,” Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office wrote Thursday on X in response to an image of Trump as Superman posted by the White House.

Others on social media have circulated clips from past Superman media, including from Cain’s show “Lois & Clark,” where the character’s immigration status is addressed.

Despite the accusation and backlash, Superman has never been as “woke” as the current debate makes him seem.

Created by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, both children of Jewish immigrants, Superman’s first official appearance was in the first issue of “Action Comics” in the 1930s. With his iconic red and blue caped costume, the character is known as much for his godlike superpowers as he is for being the ultimate good guy with all-American looks and charm.

His adventures have spanned comics, radio, television and film. Besides evil billionaires, Superman has taken on superpowered supervillains, alien invaders and even his clones, as well as human threats like Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan. Yes, some Superman stories are more political than others.

But Superman has never been radical in his politics. As a Kryptonian raised on Earth by human parents, the character has been shown in stories where he struggles with his own sense of otherness and belonging because he straddles two worlds. But other than rare outliers, his story has never delved deeply into how immigrants or those perceived as other are treated in the U.S. (For that, consider checking out some “X-Men.”)

That’s because Clark Kent’s immigration status or Americanness will never be questioned because of his appearance. That itself could be subversive, but that’s a debate for a different “Superman” movie.

For the past month, the reality dating show Love Island USA has been the center of discourse among millions of users online thanks to its near-daily episodes filled with drama, betrayal and flirtation. It’s a show in which single 20-somethings pair up into couples to try to win $100,000 (and, you know, fall in love). But fans have noticed that a theme has overshadowed the romance of this season: what it means to be a “girl’s girl.”

“Two huge things I’m over: the forced sisterhood and the overuse of therapy terms,” one viewer complained on Reddit last week. Another took to X: “If l hear one more person on Love Island say ‘girl’s girl’…”

The idea of what sisterhood should look like among women has been prevalent as soon as this crop of hot singles touched down in the Fiji villa. Barely into episode 2, Huda Mustafa refers to fellow cast members Olandria Carthen and Chelley Bissainthe as her “sisters,” saying that she is excited for their “sisterhood” to grow during the show.

But this automatic kinship is soon tested when “bombshells” — contestants who unexpectedly join the show to and put existing relationships to the test — enter the villa, and the fissures begin to show: Mustafa calls bombshell Amaya Espinal a “bitch” moments after meeting her and later says that bombshell Iris Kendall is “shady” and “not a girl’s girl” after she kisses Mustafa’s partner, Jeremiah Brown, during one of the villa-wide games.

As the web of drama and love triangles continued to unfold, the bonds of this compulsive sisterhood hit a boiling point when contestants wrote both signed and anonymous notes to one another in the challenge “Stand on Business.” Mustafa, now partnered up with Chris Seeley (who had previously expressed interest in Bissainthe), was suddenly in the firing line. She received two scathing notes, one of which read: “Do you think you’ve been following girl code when it comes to Chris and Chelley’s relationship? Are you a girl’s girl?” Bissainthe also called Mustafa out in her signed note: “If you’re going to preach about being a girl’s girl, you should practice what you preach.”

So what is a girl’s girl? While the “mean girl” — depicted in pop culture through characters like Regina George in Mean Girls or Grease’s Rizzo — is someone who’s quick to put down other women, a “girl’s girl” is the opposite. She sticks by her girls no matter what. A girl’s girl unfailingly abides by the unspoken rules of “girl code,” like not dating your friends’ exes or gatekeeping where your outfit is from. She doesn’t act like she’s cooler than thou, and she certainly doesn’t live for the approval of men (aka the much-mocked “pick-me girl”). In the process, the “girl’s girl” has become the gold standard of a feminist, sisterly woman — someone who’s not just a good friend but also can claim the moral high ground.

Haley Metzger is a longtime fan of the Love Island franchise and has watched the “girl’s girl” dynamic unfold on the show over time. “Some girls would come in and be aggressive and pursue boys who were coupled up, and other girls were more conscious and would always ask the girls’ permission to pull someone for a chat,” she tells Yahoo. “The contestants who were labeled ‘girl’s girls’ aligned with viewers’ overall opinion of how women should treat each other, and so the Love Island ‘girl’s girl’ became the standard.”

It makes sense why this archetype has become so celebrated onscreen and off-. Many women have stories of dealing with mean girls and the like or felt the sting of playing second fiddle to men. But it has also given way to vague definitions: A “girl’s girl” could be a woman who likes fruity drinks, a woman who texts her friends before her boyfriend or someone who doesn’t call out other women when they make mistakes or are in the wrong. Similarly, a random assortment of infractions — from dating someone else’s crush to looking at another woman in a weird way — can result in an accusation of not being a girl’s girl. And to not be a girl’s girl? Your moral compass must be way off.

Metzger says she’s noticed a shift in the way women interact with one another as contestants on dating shows like Love Island. And like other young women who spoke to Yahoo, she’s not buying into it.

“I am finding that in the recent seasons of Love Island, the girls are tending to prioritize their relationships with each other rather than trying to find love — which I believe is good policy in the real world, but isn’t super compatible with a show like Love Island,” she says. “We used to have contestants who would explicitly say that they were not ‘afraid to step on anyone’s toes’ to find love in the villa, and that just isn’t the dynamic anymore.”

Jasmine Anomnachi considers the rush to be branded as a “girl’s girl” on Love Island USA insincere. She sees it as women contestants jockeying to be regarded as some paragon of feminist morality instead of actually taking the time to build genuine relationships.

“Friendships can only work when [they are] built on 100% trust and actually being open and vulnerable to the person that you’re trying to build a friendship with,” she tells Yahoo. “Sometimes people view friendships as this robotic thing, where it’s ‘hey, let’s be friends.’” Real bonds are quite so “easy” to form, she says. “It takes time, it takes energy, and it takes effort, and none of that was put into this group of women.”

Laurie, who asked not to share her last name, has felt a sense of déjà vu watching the “girl’s girl” drama unfold onscreen. “So many of us have been that loyal, ride-or-die friend to someone who ended up betraying us, all while [they were] preaching about ‘sisterhood’ on social media,” she says. “It’s wild how relatable that betrayal is, and I think it’s triggering a global eye-roll from women everywhere.”

She also empathizes with Mustafa, who was called out for not following “girl code” when she connected with a man her friend had her eye on. “I had a friend who introduced me to a guy and later told our entire friend group that I stole him from her,” Laurie says. “She literally flipped the narrative to make herself the victim and me the villain — and somehow convinced people! It was like gaslighting with a PR campaign. Wild times.”

Metzger, who is 30, says the discourse reminds her of experiences she had in her 20s with other women. She has another bone to pick: When contestants are hyper-fixated on proving their morality, it makes for poor reality entertainment. “As a reality TV lover, I keep thinking, This isn’t the real world, this is Love Island, and it’s supposed to be a competition,” Metzger says. “The expectation that everyone acts like a ‘girl’s girl’ and never steps on a woman’s toes is doing a disservice to the show.”

The term “girl’s girl” has lost all nuance because it’s being used as a branding iron rather than a space to think about how people treat their interpersonal relationships, Laurie adds. “Real friends don’t need to constantly say ‘girl code’ — they live it,” she points out. “But what we’ve seen is people kissing each other’s love interests, spilling secrets and moving with a level of disloyalty that screams performative friendship. Nothing about this season feels like sisterhood.”
