Gal Gadot is the new face of Revlon

Revlon, the cosmetics company, announced in a press release that Wonder Woman star, Gal Gadot, will serve as a global brand ambassador for its ‘Live Boldly’ campaign.

“Revlon has always celebrated and championed strong, independent women in its iconic campaigns and in its philanthropic initiatives. Gal captures the beauty, strength, modernity and boldness that Revlon represents,” Revlon president and CEO Fabian Garcia said.

The new, multi-media campaign is designed “to inspire women to express themselves with passion, optimism, strength and style,” and will launch later this month.

The Wonder Woman star also shared the news with her 15 million Instagram followers.


Fantastic Beasts sequel is all about fantastic coats

Forget the fantastic beasts — the latest photos from Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald are all about fabulous coats.

There are shiny ones and woolly ones, patterned ones and tweedy ones. Fantastic Beasts may pit good against evil, but the one thing both sides have in common, apparently, is a passion for fine outerwear.

The sequel, which is named after Depp, as Grindelwald, we’re guessing he plays a pretty big part.

Grindelwald’s military-inspired outfit is pretty nice. Moving on, we’ve got Newt in a snappy tweed number. Behind him is Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler). He’s clad in a drab, shapeless thing, because the poor Muggle can’t catch a break. We now come to Dumbledore, who was unconventional even in his youth. You can tell because unlike literally everyone else in these photos, he doesn’t have a coat. What a rebel!

But this film isn’t just about pretty jackets. It’s about gorgeous shoes, too.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald hits theatres November 16, 2018.


Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is bigger than the rest

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is promising some big destruction and chaos thanks to an active volcano that threatens to destroy all the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar. The stakes are high for our characters, and it sounds like the sequel is aiming to start strong right out of the gate. Fallen Kingdom starts with a massive action piece that feels like a James Bond prologue. And in the centre there is the biggest set-piece ever done for a Jurassic movie. Rather than follow the usual Jurassic Park formula of having to run away from a killer dinosaur, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is about trying to save all of the dinosaurs from extinction.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom arrives on June 22, 2018.
