Nicola Peltz Beckham has become a bit of a fashion and beauty sensation in her own right – and now she’s keen to set a new trend with a very dramatic eyebrow transformation.The 27 year old, who married Brooklyn Beckham in a lavish three-day wedding earlier this year, just turned up to Paris Fashion Week with her husband at her side and…without eyebrows.Technically her arches are still a feature on her face, but they’re so light that anyone would be forgiven for mistaking them as gone. Nicola’s new look is very visible in snaps taken from the Givenchy Womenswear Spring/Summer 2023 show, which she attended with Brooklyn in matching “Men in Black” suit co-ords.

Paramore made their live return last night (October 2), with previously axed hit ‘Misery Business’ returning to the setlist – see footage, reaction and the full setlist from their California gig below.In 2018 at the end of their last tour vocalist Hayley Williams publicly announced that the controversial track had been pulled from her band’s live shows amid ongoing debate whether its message was “anti-feminist”. This was due to one particular line in the second verse: “Once a whore, you’re nothing more, I’m sorry that’ll never change.”Two years later Williams reaffirmed her stance on the controversial lyrics of Paramore‘s breakout hit, saying: “I know it’s one of the band’s biggest songs but it shouldn’t be used to promote anything having to do with female empowerment or solidarity.”Earlier this year, however, she joined Billie Eilish on stage at Coachella to perform the song, revealing recently to The Guardian that she tried to talk Eilish out of performing the cover.
