  1. The Killers of the Flower Moon Cast Spotlighted Indigenous Design at Cannes After making its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this past Saturday, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon is already garnering serious Oscars buzz. The film—based on David Grann’s 2017 nonfiction book of the same name—is centered around the FBI investigation of a series of murders of Native Americans from the Osage tribe in the 1920s, after oil was discovered on their tribal land. Starring in the tale of greed, corruption, and power are Lily Gladstone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tantoo Cardinal, and Robert De Niro. The attention for the film is historic, given it’s a rare project in Hollywood that features a largely Indigenous cast, including actors Gladstone, Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, Janae Collins, Jillian Dion, and Tatanka Means. It’s no secret that Indigenous representation in mainstream Hollywood has been lacking, though recent projects such as Prey and Reservation Dogs have brought Native talent to the forefront. So to see not one, but several Indigenous stars take over the Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet this weekend has been thrilling. Better yet, many of the cast members have been using their opportunity to highlight Indigenous designers too, bringing a dash of cultural flair through their intentional fashion choices. It all began on Saturday at the film’s world premiere. Gladstone, whose performance in the film has been widely praised, took to the red carpet in a floral-print Valentino gown, which she punctuated with a pair of dentalium shell earrings from Luiseño and Shoshone-Bannock designer Jamie Okuma, finished with antique glass seed beads, diamond beads, gold, and brain-tanned deer hide (the artist, who hails from the La Jolla Indian Reservation in California, recently became a CFDA member). “I’m so incredibly honored she chose to wear [my earrings] for such a significantly important day for her,” Okuma tells Vogue. “She was able to have that little bit of home, culturally speaking, walk her down the red carpet.” Gladstone has continued to wear jewelry by Native designers. For the film’s after-party on Saturday, the actor wore a classic black gown with a copper cuff, earrings, and neck plate by Tlingit artist Jennifer Younger. For the film’s photo call on Sunday, Gladstone wore a black caped Chanel ensemble, and again accessorized with Indigenous jewels—this time, a pair of beaded and dentalium earrings by Shelby LeeAnn Gorman. For many of these spotlighted designers, it’s been completely surreal to see their work on an international stage like Cannes. “This has been my dream, to see Tlingit formline design shared on a large platform like this,” Younger tells Vogue. “I hope more people are drawn in to Northwest Coast art when they see my pieces, and they find that the art form is thriving with many amazing Indigenous artists.” Lily Gladstone in Chanel and Shelby LeeAnn Gorman earrings Photo: Getty Images Lily Gladstone in a Jennifer Younger necklace Photo: Getty Images Earringas by Jamie Okuma, worn by Lily Gladstone Photo: Courtesy of Jamie Okuma Many of the film’s supporting cast members have also championed Indigenous traditions through style. At the film’s premiere, Cardinal chose veteran Indigenous designer Patricia Michaels to create her dramatic feather-printed ball gown. At the film’s photo call, Cardinal also wore a hand-painted skirt from Red Berry Woman, designed by Norma Baker-Flying Horse. Collins chose a printed dress from Okuma for the photocall, and striking earrings by Keri Ataumbi made of 24-karant gold vermeil over sterling silver; Dion sported a printed dress from Sky Eagle Collection. (The designer, Dante Biss-Grayson, is Osage—a thoughtful nod to the subject matter of the film.)

But their deliberate choices to uplift Indigenous labels, was a standout moment at Cannes thus far. Here’s hoping for even more fabulous displays of cultural pride once the film premieres in October. Ataumbi said it best: “Seeing my work on the red carpet at Cannes made me feel so proud; It made me feel like the telling of our history will not be squashed. The power of fashion, and the power of art, tells our stories and histories.” Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, Janae Collins, and Jillian Dion Photo: Getty Images Source

  10. Leonardo DiCaprio's friends are angry with Gigi Hadid for taking up his spare time They feel that he is not around to party as much Leonardo DiCaprio's love life is often in the headlines but it is usually because he has got a new girlfriend who is considerably younger than him. This time, the 48-year-old is making headlines because his friends think that Gigi Hadid, who is 28, is taking up all of his time and stopping him from hanging out with all of his friends. This is according to an insider who has spoke to RadarOnline about DiCaprio and Hadid, who fans seem to be very interested in. DiCaprio is a man in demand The insider has said that the usually very sociable DiCaprio is too busy these days. "He is way less available for poker nights and hangouts, and friends are blaming Gigi for monopolizing all of his time," the insider told RadarOnline. "Leo's normally arranging the summer cruises by now, with him and the guys and a few bikini-clad ladies. "But he's let that slip, too, and is talking about some solo vacation time with just himself and Gigi." Are Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid dating? There has been a lot of confusion about DiCaprio and Hadid's relationship as they were first linked together at the start of the year. Then it seemed that the relationship was no more, but they have been seen together in public again since. "Leo only had eyes for Gigi," said the source, who added it was crystal clear the two were definitely "still into each other." "Gigi and Leo are both night owls. They hang out for dinner and chill together in hotel rooms or private residences, often for days at a time." Source
  11. @RosieAnne Always great to meet people who can talk about Leos love life just normally. Welcome. Are Leonardo DiCaprio’s Posse Days Over? Nights With Gigi Hadid Allegedly Impacting His Yachting Schedule With His Bros It looks like Leo's relationship with Gigi Hadid is causing problems for his friends. When you’re as big a star as Leonardo DiCaprio there are always going to be people particularly interested in your love life. Still, DiCaprio’s romances have become the stuff of legend, or at least late-night TV show host monologues. The actor is known for dating beautiful women who are these days usually quite a bit younger than himself, but it looks like one of them may actually be impacting his old ways. DiCaprio has been reportedly dating supermodel Gigi Hadid of late. While that itself would only be worthy of the standard jokes regarding the fact that she is 28 and he is 48, it seems that the two are enjoying spending time together so much that it is impacting DiCaprio’s typical yacht party summer. RadarOnline reports comments from an unnamed source that says that at this point in the year, DiCaprio is usually planning a summer of boating excursions with his friends “and a few bikini-clad ladies,” but that apparently hasn’t happened yet. Instead, it sounds like Leo and Gigi are looking at spending their summer vacation together, without “the bros.” It sounds like the bros. In question are a bit annoyed with this. Their friend hasn’t been available to hang out the way that he used to, and as often happens, the friends are annoyed. To be fair, dating Hadid didn’t stop DiCaprio from going yachting at the end of last year. It doesn’t sound like DiCaprio and Hadid are necessarily more serious about each other than DiCaprio’s previous relationships. Instead, this seems to just be a case of the new couple wanting to see where the relationship might be going, so they’re focusing on each other. Considering that earlier this year it looked like Hadid and DiCaprio had split up, and DiCaprio had been seen on the town with another woman, but if this couple is still together, or back together, then clearly this is something a bit more real. There’s been an ongoing joke regarding Leonardo DiCaprio’s relationships and the fact that while he gets older, his girlfriends do not. Hadid is actually something of an outlier in that she’s a bit older than DiCaprio’s previous girlfriends. It's been rumored DiCaprio literally has a rule about dating women over 25. It does sound like DiCaprio has a lot in common with Hadid. Perhaps because the actor has gotten older, he may be looking for something a bit different in a significant other. While yacht party summer may look different than it has in previous years for Leonardo DiCaprio and his friends, only time will tell if this is a permanent change or just a blip on the radar. Maybe DiCaprio is really changing his priorities or perhaps he’s just looking to enjoy this summer in a different way and a year from now he’ll be back to his old ways. Source
