Johnny Depp and Amber Heard court case, branding it "courtroom porn" and claiming that everyone is "guilty" for watching the trial that played out over the course of six weeks.The American activist's comments came days before the jury announced yesterday that the Pirates of the Caribbean star won the $10million defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.Ahead of the jury's explosive verdict, Lewinsky penned an opinion piece sharing her thoughts on the trial.The TV personality condemned the way the trial had been conducted and claimed that "we are guilty" for watching the trial, which was played out for the world to see.She wrote: "Because the trial has also been available live on our screens, we think, subconsciously, that we have a right to look and watch."To judge.To comment."And we end up with this confusing cultural crossover of watching two people (whom we are used to seeing as actors acting on a screen) in a setting—a courtroom—where we would normally expect them to be assuming their characters’ roles," she penned in an article for Vanity Fair.The activist went on to condemn the impact the trial has had on survivors of domestic abuse.She wrote: "It would be sad enough even if we just considered how it has impacted domestic violence survivors or those who have sought strength in the #MeToo movement."However, it's the larger implications for our culture that concern me the most: the ways we have stoked the flames of misogyny and, separately, the celebrity circus," she added.Yesterday, it was announced that the Hollywood actor had won his defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife.Johnny has been awarded $10million in compensation, and $5million in punitive damages after the jury deliberated for three days.Amber,

the Queen was showing the world how it was done. A sovereign who has often found herself the only woman in rooms full of men and whose reign has seen trends for flares, boob tubes and miniskirts come and go several times over, one of Elizabeth II’s great accomplishments is, surely, her iconic style.Her opinions are rarely heard, but her image can be recognised from a mile off, becoming synonymous with everything from colour-blocking to silk headscarves and frame handbags.

Wardrobe Whisperer column, our team will find a solution for every style crisis.I’m going to the Epsom Derby and it’ll be the first time I’ve dressed up in formalwear since the start of the pandemic. I’ve gone down from a 16 to a 14, and want to wear something more modern, but I’m not sure where to begin.- LouiseAfter two years out of the formalwear fray, I can understand why you might feel daunted by the idea of dressing up again.

Cheekily, he pointed out that Princess Diana had 'terrible hair' in the mid-eighties (thanks to the decade's penchant for overusing hairspray) while the Queen, he commented, had 'beautiful skin' when she sat for him in 2014.Eight years later, at 96, Her Majesty's complexion is arguably her best beauty asset, which is clearly evident from her many Zoom appearances from the onset of the pandemic until now. Known for her sunny lipstick hues from vivid pink to bold orange, it is the Queen's well-kept skin that sets her apart from women half her age.You only have to look at the Monarch's celebratory cover, shot in 1957, for British Vogue's April edition, to see how little her skin has aged in sixty years. Of course, it is not merely genetics that she has to thank for her luminous complexion, the formula to the Queen's ageless skin lies in these six secrets. If you spend most of your days in an oxygen-deprived office block with recycled air conditioning, you'll be familiar with the lacklustre complexion that begins to develop when your complexion is chronically dehydrated, something many of us suffered when working from home in dry, arid conditions without access to a garden.On the contrary, a healthy glow ensues when we go on holiday or visit the countryside for the weekend, where the air is cleaner and in abundant supply. A keen horse rider, Queen Elizabeth has spent countless days at her country estates which has clearly benefited her skin tremendously over the years. No need to get a horse.
