Deepika Padukone stuns in Cartier’s 63.76 carat necklace at an exclusive jewellery event in Dubai

Deepika Padukone turned heads at the Cartier High Jewellery event in Dubai, making a striking statement with an extraordinary necklace from the luxury brand’s latest collection. The Bollywood star, who has been Cartier’s High Jewellery Global Ambassador since 2022, attended the grand celebration marking Cartier’s 25th anniversary in the UAE. The event, held at the Al Shindagha Museum, also introduced the 'A Journey of Wonders' exhibition, which showcases some of the brand’s finest creations.

For the occasion, Deepika adorned the Chryseis necklace from Cartier’s Nature Sauvage collection, an exquisite masterpiece that redefines elegance. This unique piece draws inspiration from butterfly wings, featuring intricate black-and-white detailing that mirrors nature’s delicate patterns. The contrast between these fine details and the soft chalcedony beads enhances the necklace’s sophisticated charm. At its heart lies a breath-taking 63.76-carat rubellite stone, an exceptional gem that embodies Cartier’s signature colour palette of red, green, and black. The rubellite’s rich hue and impressive size make it a true showstopper, elevating the necklace’s opulence to another level.

Mariah Carey to headline Brighton Pride 2025: Iconic comeback set to break records

This summer, music legend Mariah Carey is set to light up the stage at Brighton Pride, marking her first UK performance since her 2019 Royal Albert Hall shows. Scheduled for August 2, 2025, at Preston Park, Carey’s highly anticipated appearance follows the cancellation of the 2020 event due to COVID-19. Known for her chart-topping hits like "Fantasy" and "Always Be My Baby," her performance is expected to draw massive crowds. Tickets go on sale February 20, and demand is expected to be high.

Paul Kemp, Brighton Pride’s Managing Director, shared his excitement, recalling the disappointment of 2020. “We’re thrilled to finally welcome Mariah this year,” Kemp said. “Pride is a celebration of love, diversity, and unity, and having a global icon like her headline makes this year’s event even more special.”

Are Kanye West and Bianca Censori breaking up after the viral Grammys stunt?

Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, and his wife, Bianca Censori, are once again at the centre of divorce rumours, this time following a series of controversies surrounding Ye. Reports suggest that the couple’s relationship has been strained due to Ye’s recent actions, including allegations of antisemitism and the backlash from selling swastika-themed merchandise.

Sources claim that Censori, 30, reached a breaking point, unwilling to be associated with Ye’s controversies any longer. The tension reportedly escalated after Censori’s near-nude appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, which drew widespread criticism. While Ye defended her bold outfit, calling her “smart, talented, brave, and hot,” the incident allegedly deepened the rift between them.
