This year’s Serpentine Pavilion was designed by award-winning Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum, whose installation A Capsule in Time explored space and memory using natural materials. Complementing it was Indian artist Subodh Gupta’s A Place in the Sun, a large-scale sculptural work built from everyday Indian household items like tiffin boxes and steel plates. The Pavilion’s 25th anniversary brought together international guests, artists, and designers, reflecting a shift toward broader cultural inclusion.

Isha Ambani re-wears Valentino gown in quiet nod to sustainability

Isha Ambani turned heads in a champagne-grey Valentino couture dress she first wore at Paris Fashion Week in 2019. Styled with diamond drop earrings, a gold clutch, and strappy heels, her look stood out for its elegance and eco-conscious repeat.

Romesh Ranganathan jokes he might go work in a café if people get tired of seeing him

Highlights:

  • Romesh admits he’s aware of possible overexposure but says he chooses work based on gut feeling and quality.
  • He makes his West End debut opposite Sheridan Smith in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind.
  • The play runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 9 December to 28 February, then in Sunderland and Glasgow in March.
  • Romesh will play Bill, the doctor who links Susan’s real and imagined worlds.
  • He balances television, radio, and stage work by turning down offers he doesn’t think he can do well.

Romesh Ranganathan says he knows the word “overexposure” follows him around and he’s decided it’s a risk worth taking. The comedian, who is making his West End debut, told the BBC he deliberately turns down roles at times but will say yes when a job feels right, putting “overexposure” and the play’s pull, plus the chance to work with Sheridan Smith, at the centre of his decision. This new stage turn comes as Romesh juggles television presenting, radio, and touring stand-up, and it is also his first proper stage role since primary school.
