De var bäst och sämst klädda på Nobelfesten 2023: "Ser ut som en torktumlad Greta Gris"

Kronprinsessan Victoria i mörkt lila från Camilla Thulin. En av kvällens vinnare! Gillar att det inte är så mycket lull-lull utan väldigt cleant skuret. Kronprinsessan Victoria på Nobel 2023 i en klänning designad av Camilla Thulin. Bildkälla: Claudio Bresciani/TT Bild Drottning Silvia måste ju ha tillgång till världens vackraste klänningar. Varför väljer hon en klänning som får henne att se så washed out? Färgen var verkligen inte rolig. Tänk att ett solkrigt Greta gris-gosedjur har tvättats för hårt och sedan torktumlats av misstag så är den här färgen resultatet. Sövande tråkigt. Drottning Silvia strålade inte direkt i den här grådassiga rosa färgen. Bildkälla: Jonas Ekströmer / TT / Prinsessan Sofia är nog min absoluta favorit i kungahuset när det kommer till kläder. Hon väljer väldigt sällan rysh-pysh och typiskt prinsessigt, utan brukar ofta stråla i quiet luxury. Den här svarta blåsan är inget undantag. Prinsessan Sofia ser verkligen helt otrolig ut i den här svarta, avskalade klänningen. Pricket över i:et blir de maffiga smaragderna i diademet. Bildkälla: Jonas Ekströmer / TT / Ebba Bush. Jag tänkte nog aldrig att jag någonsin skulle säga något snällt om Ebba Bush, men nu kommer det: Jag gillar VERKLIGEN den här klänningen på Ebba Bush. Designen signerad Camilla Thulin. Precis som "Vickan" så är det en liten blomma där på axeln. Fint! Stort plus för de pråliga smyckena.  Ebba Busch i Camilla Thulin. Bildkälla: Jonas Ekströmer/TT Bild Magadalena Andersson. NEJ vad är det här för soppa? Klänningen ser ut som en mix mellan Darth Vader och något som Madonna ratade för sin senaste turné. Eller kanske river hon biljetter till entrén på en swingersklubb? Jättetråkiga smycken också. Om jag ska säga något snällt så var sminket väldigt lyckat, och manikyren klockren. Magdalena Andersson. Bildkälla: Christine Olsson/TT Bild Nooshi Dadgostar. Jag hör ju till dom som älskar kombinationen rött och rosa, och även fast den här modellen såg lite väl ofestlig ut så var färgerna fantastiska. En av kvällens stora vinnare! Nooshi var en av kvällens stora vinnare i rött och rosa. Bildkälla: Jonas Ekströmer/TT Bild Anna Kinberg Batra. Återigen är det lite action på axeln, som verkar vara kvällens trend. Vacker färg på henne. Väskan var lite konstig till. Ser ut som hon brutit sig in på en hönsgård och ryckt åt sig första bästa fjäderhög. Men i det stora hela, en väldigt majestätisk look! Snyggt med gult guld till.  Anna Kinberg Batra med maken David Batra. Bildkälla: Jonas Ekströmer/TT Bild Birgitta Ed. Det här är sånt som ger en mardrömmar. Det känns som Elsa i Frost, och det är inte en bra look på någon som har passerat 10 års-åldern. Birgitta Ed gav Elsa i Frost-vibbar. Bildkälla: Christine Olsson/TT Bild Märta Stenevi. Ja, vad ska man säga. Bara för att man gillar miljön så måste man väl inte ha ett gammalt lapptäcke på sig? Jättefint som överkast i fritidshuset, men inte på Nobel.  Maken till ofestligt när Märta Stenevi valde något lapptäcksliknande. Bildkälla: Christine Olsson/TT Bild Sofia Åkerman Jag har så många frågor här. Varför ser det ut som att hon har nån slags brynja mitt på klänningen? Eller är det ett läderförekläde? Så hemskt med skorna också. Vad är det för något som tittar ut där under egentligen? Bedrövligt... Sofia Åkermans klänning lämnade lite att önska. Bildkälla: Jonas Ekströmer/TT Bild

Produktionen grep in efter Parneviks poddande – deltagaren: "Oschysst"

Produktionen grep in efter Parneviks poddande – deltagaren: "Oschysst"

Peg Parnevik, som sitter i årets ”Idol”-jury, har tillsammans med systern Penny Parnevik podcasten "Peg & Penny". Varje fredag släpper de ett specialavsnitt dedikerat till veckans ”Idol”-program. I det åttonde specialavsnittet berättar Peg Parnevik att hon fått en tillsägelse från produktionen om innehållet i podcasten. – Folk verkar lite stötta av podden. Det togs upp avtal hit och dit, så jag vet inte hur mycket jag vågar säga, men jag fick ett samtal som var "ni måste sluta". Vi måste lugna ner oss och kanske inte gå in så hårt, säger hon i avsnittet. Anledningen till samtalet är enligt henne att produktionen tyckt att de uttryckt sig för hårt om idolerna, och att vissa deltagare tagit illa upp. Parnevik säger dock att hon står för allt hon sagt i podcasten. Deltagaren: ”Lite oschysst” Hon säger också att tanken med specialavsnitten har varit att ge lyssnarna en bild av vad som händer bakom kulisserna på programmet och att kunna prata fritt om programmet. – Jag är ledsen om den här podden har gjort att folk tagit illa upp. Det är verkligen inte min avsikt, och hela poängen är bara att säga att det är skitsvårt att vara artist. Vi vill bara att ni ska bli starka och de bästa artisterna ni kan bli, säger hon. Händelsen är redan överspelad, enligt både produktionen och de deltagare som TV4 Nyheterna pratat med. ”Idol”-deltagaren Victoria Grace Larsson säger att hon har förståelse för varför produktionen ryckte in. Hon säger att hon inte uppskattade hur Parnevik-systrarna pratade om hennes framträdande efter den första lördagsfinalen. – De tyckte att jag var en av de sämsta den kvällen, det var lite oschysst i det avsnittet. Jag tycker att de har uttryckt sig väldigt klumpigt, men sedan hon fick samtalet har det blivit bättre. Nu är det bara konstruktiv kritik, så det är bara bra, säger hon. ”Var tvungna att ta henne i örat” ”Idols” exekutiva producent, Malin Knave, berättar om anledningen bakom produktionens beslut att säga till om podcasten. – Peg är ju ny i juryn. Vi älskar henne och hon är jättebra att ha med. Ibland går saker lite överstyr och i det här fallet var vi tvungna att ta henne lite i örat, för det blev lite oro i lägret, säger hon och fortsätter: – Vi har ständig kommunikation med varandra inom produktionen, så det var ingen stor grej. TV4 Nyheterna har sökt Peg Parnevik.

Bisarra trenden – därför har kändisar laxsperma i ansiktet

Bisarra trenden – därför har kändisar laxsperma i ansiktet

Jennifer Aniston, känd för sin fräscha look, säger sig vara redo att prova ”nästan vad som helst” för att behålla den. I en intervju på ”Jimmy Kimmel Live!” bekräftade hon att hon testat en ansiktsbehandling med laxsperma, eller mjölke som det egentligen heter, injicerat i huden. Metoden genomförs med så kallad microneedling, som trycker in ämnena från laxsperman i ansiktet.

– Allting handlar om forskning och allting handlar om egentligen att stimulera kollagenet. För ju äldre vi blir desto mindre kollagen får vi i huden, säger hudterapeuten Doha Albildawi. Kändisarnas ovanliga hudvårdsmetoder Aniston är långt ifrån ensam om att prova ovanliga hudbehandlingar. Hollywood har sett en växande trend av märkliga skönhetskurer, där kändisar tar till extremer för att försöka stoppa åldrandet. Kim Kardashian har också testat laxspermabehandlingen, medan andra, som Victoria och David Beckham, använder hudkrämer innehållande fågelspillning. Harry Styles har behandlats med fårmoderkaka, och Gwyneth Paltrow har till och med låtit sig stickas av levande bin för att minska rynkor. – Som auktoriserad hudterapeut skulle jag säga att det är lite för lite forskning för att bedöma om metoderna lax ger effekt, säger hudterapeuten Doha Albildawi. Så fungerar behandlingen Det är inte mjölke i dess råa form som injiceras. Om Aniston hade gjort lite mer research hade hon upptäckt att det faktiskt handlar om Polynukleotider alltså molekyler som utvinns ur laxens DNA och påstås öka hudens fuktbalans. Tekniken, som har sitt ursprung i Korea, innebär att man injicerar dessa ämnen på flera ställen i ansiktet. – Personligen föredrar jag vetenskapligt beprövade metoder som microneedling och AHA-syror, säger hudterapeuten. Men man ska också ha ögonen upp för något som kallas för exosomer. För det tror jag kommer bli riktigt stort i framtiden.

Victoria's secret fashion show tillbaka – efter massiva kritiken

Victoria's secret fashion show tillbaka – efter massiva kritiken

Efter flera års frånvaro har Victoria's secret fashion show gjort en storslagen comeback, med ikoniska supermodeller som Kate Moss, Tyra Banks och Gigi Hadid på catwalken. Men i en tid där skönhetsidealen ständigt förändras och medvetenheten om kroppsideal ökar, måste vi fråga oss: Är denna show verkligen nödvändig och är showen här för att stanna? – Den här showen behövs inte. Den är helt onödig. Om du inte jobbar på Victoria's secret och ansvarar för deras marknadsföring, då kanske den är väldigt nödvändig, säger Styleby och Damernas chefredaktör Jonna Bergh som delar med sig av sina tankar i Expressens nyhetspodd ”Läget”.    Du hör hela intervjun i ”Läget”, Expressens dagliga nyhetspodd, i spelaren!

400. Victorian Britain's Maddest Mystery

In 1854, the twenty-five year old aristocrat Roger Tichborne, heir to an impressive fortune, died in a shipwreck ....Or did he? His mother, certain of her son’s survival, advertised extensively with a tantalising reward for her son’s return. Twenty years later a rough, corpulent butcher from Australia named Arthur Orton arrived in Europe and declared himself to be the long lost heir. The trial that ensued captivated the public imagination, becoming the greatest and most dramatic case of Victorian England and arguably, all of British history. Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss The Tichborne Case with best-selling author Zadie Smith, which forms the centrepiece of her new novel The Fraud. It is a darkly comic story of intrigue and mystery, that crosses continents and encompasses the issues of race, empire and class that smouldered at the very heart of 19th century British society. 📱Protect your tech valuables with our exclusive 20% off discount at http://uk.mous.co/RestHistory🎒 Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

Victoria's armpit and 'giant' bones: body parts that changed history

How did a severed ear start a war between Britain and Spain in the 18th century? And what has Queen Victoria's armpit got to do with the development of antiseptic? Speaking to Charlotte Hodgman, medical doctor and historian Dr Suzie Edge investigates our long-standing fascination with body parts, and explores the incredible stories of the people attached to them – from Albert Einstein's brain to the bones of 'Irish Giant' Charles Byrne.

Episode One: The Monster

During Queen Victoria’s 63-year reign, seven young men, many of them teenagers, made the fateful decision to attack her. After each attempt the news shot through Britain like lightning – journalists, politicians, police and the public all clamoured for information.  Why on earth did they do it?  Dr Bob Nicholson is an expert in Victorian journalism and popular culture, but the seven assailants were unknown to him – even though their lives intertwined with the most famous woman on the planet. Bob sifts through the police archives, census returns, court reports and the grubby world of Victorian newspapers to piece together their stories, and try and establish the motives of the seven. The first to attack the Queen was 18 year-old Edward Oxford, who worked clearing glasses in a London pub. One day in June 1840 he walked to Buckingham Palace, took a duelling pistol from his pocket and fired at Victoria as she passed by in her carriage. Oxford’s target was just 21 years old and pregnant with her first child. Victoria was unhurt, but shocked. Oxford is caught and put on trial for high treason; within hours, journalists and detectives try to uncover the young assassin’s story. Bob carries out detective work of his own and discovers a traumatic family history that may hold the key to Edward Oxford’s infamous crime.

S1.55 Victoria's Biography (Part 2/5: 1861-1901)

Following the death of her beloved husband, Albert, Victoria plunged into mourning, wearing black for the rest of her life and refusing to perform her duties in public. Her reclusive habits saw her popularity plunge and the spectre of republicanism being discussed even in Parliament. However, the efforts of two prime ministers, Gladstone and Disraeli, to coax her back into public life, plus the support of a Scottish ghillie, John Brown, started to have some effect. The turning point proved to be the illness and recovery of her eldest son, Bertie, after which Victoria once again became a figure of popular sympathy. From the 1870s, Victoria was a symbol of British imperial expansion and was once more at the heart of national and international affairs. But eventually, time would catch up with her and the Victorian sun would set... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

S1.54 Victoria's Biography (Part 1/5: 1817-61)

In the first of five podcasts we look at the life and reign of Queen Victoria, beginning in 1817 with the death of the Prince Regent's only legitimate child, Princess Charlotte, and the race among George III's sons to produce a legitimate heir. The Duke of Kent was the winner, but he did not have long to enjoy it, leaving Victoria under the thumb of Sir John Conroy and her mother in the Kensington System, keeping her under strict control. In this episode, we follow her stand against Conroy, her early years as queen with the genial PM Lord Melbourne, and finally her marriage to Prince Albert. This is a very different Victoria from the popular memory: young, spirited, laughing and sensual - but the tragedy of 1861 would change everything... Hosted on Acast.

Life of the week: Queen Victoria

What picture comes to mind when you think of Queen Victoria? For many, it will be a grieving woman in her mourning gown, or perhaps a monarch cooly stating "we are not amused". From her marriage to Prince Albert to founding many of the royal traditions we know today, Tracy Borman speaks to Lauren Good about Victoria’s life, and explains why we should rethink our opinion of her.

35. Victoria

On the death of Queen Victoria (1837-1901), Arthur Balfour wrote, ‘I suppose that, in all the history of the British Monarchy, there never has been a case in which the feeling of national grief was so deep-seated as it is at present, so universal, so spontaneous. And that grief affects us not merely because we have lost a great personality, but because we feel that the end of a great epoch has come upon us—an epoch the beginning of which stretches beyond the memory, I suppose, of any individual whom I am now addressing, and which embraces within its compass sixty-three years, more important, more crowded with epoch-making change, than almost any other period of like length that could be selected in the history of the world.’ Characters Queen Victoria – Queen of the United Kingdom and Ireland (1837-1901)Prince Albert – Prince Consort of the United Kingdom and Ireland (1837-61)Prince Edward (Bertie) – Duke of Edinburgh, son of Victoria and Albert, heir apparentDuchess of Kent – mother of VictoriaPrince Edward, duke of Kent – father of Victoria Previous Kings of the United Kingdom and Ireland George III –1760-1820George IV – 1820-30William IV – 1830-37   John Conroy – comptroller to the duchess of KentLouise Lehzen – governess of the Victoria’s householdFeodore – Victoria’s half-sisterLeopold I – King of Belgium Ernest Augustus – King ofHanover, uncle of Victoria Prime Ministers Lord Melbourne – 1835-41Robert Peel – 1841-46John Russell – 1846-52, 65-66Earl of Derby – 1846-52, 66-68Earl of Aberdeen – 1852-55, 58-59Lord Palmerston – 1855-58, 59-65Benjamin Disraeli – 1868, 74-80William Gladstone – 1868-74, 80-85, 86, 92-94Earl of Rosebury – 1894-95Lord Salisbury – 1885-86, 86-92, 95-02Arthur Balfour – 1902-05 Flora Hastings – lady-in-waiting for the DuchessJohn Snow – physician and leader in the development of anaesthesiaMary Seacole – nurse who set up the ‘British Hotel’Florence Nightingale – social reformer and founder of modern nursing Sultan Khaleefah Abdul-Majid – Sultan of the Ottoman EmpireBahadur Shah Zafar – Mughal Emperor of IndiaCecil Rhodes – mining magnate and politicianGeneral Charles Gordon – army officerLili’uokalani – Heir apparent and later Queen of HawaiiJohn Brown – Victoria’s personal attendantAbdul Karim – Victoria’s India SecretaryKaiser Wilhelm II – Emperor of Germany, grandson of Victoria Credits Cherry RipeSail the Ocean Blue – HMS pinafore – Gilbert and SullivanHallelujah – George Frideric Handel 328065__guntherdorksen__old-book_-old-book-hard-casesfx194982__soundmary__wild-horses-runningbbc_crowds-che_07035074365676__mr_alden__dinner-table-ambience328065__guntherdorksen__old-book_-old-book-hard-casesfxbbc_rifle---ma_0009046423918__martinsadoux__african-bush-birds-insect-ms163456__lemudcrab__pistol-shot627087__clutvh__silenced-pistol-shotbbc_clocks--gr_07070146bbc_clocks---g_07022188bbc_whistles--_07055012660975__mchrpt__load_gun_slow.ogg584126__seventhsamurai__nasik-ambiencebbc_gunfire---_07034194bbc_old-textil_07016338bbc_wolf-flies_nhu0508611bbc_ships-and-_07043335592380__cribbler__fireplace-snappy

S1.56 Victoria: The Prime Ministers (Part 3/5)

Having looked at Victoria's personal life, we now look at the events of her reign through her Prime Ministers. In this first of two episodes, we encounter the first six of her ten leaders. Her first PM, Melbourne, was an old-school Whig with a penchant for anecdotes and little work, while Sir Robert Peel's efforts to modernise the Conservative party saw a split that threw politics into confusion for the next ten years. Lord John Russell (Whig) and the Earl of Derby (Conservative) both struggled to hold their respective governments together, while the Earl of Aberdeen's talented coalition was brought down by the Crimean War. Victoria had positive relationships with all five, but it was the roguish, charming, womanising, unpredictable Lord Palmerston who came to dominate, winning the support of the public and overseeing the formation of the Liberal Party.

Victorian Sex

They’re famously thought of as a buttoned up prudish bunch, but we all know they loved to bump uglies as much as anyone today. Were the spanking punishments of boarding schools really the origins of flagellation brothels?

S1.58 Victoria: The Review (Part 5/5)

After four episodes, we finally review Queen Victoria in full. From the spirited young girl who resisted Conroy's Kensington System to the dumpy old lady celebrating her Diamond Jubilee, Victoria had her fair show of up's and downs. Some would criticise her for an often partisan and stubborn approach to politics, while her never-ending mourning for Prince Albert got so tiresome that republicanism even started to raise its head. However, Victoria's resume can also boast the British Empire, major advancements in electoral and social reform and a record-breaking stint on the throne. So when it's all put together, will Queen Victoria be worthy of the Rex Factor? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

S1.57 Victoria: The Prime Ministers (Part 4/5)

This week we look at Victoria's Prime Ministers following the death of Lord Palmerston in 1865. Victoria was heavily into mourning Prince Albert, but the efforts of Lord John Russell and the Earl of Derby to introduce electoral reform started to coax her back into national affairs. However, it was the rivalry of the two great politicians of the age - the charming Benjamin Disraeli and the severe William Gladstone - saw her re-emerge as a dominant figure. To Victoria's great distress, Gladstone proved to be the candle that wouldn't blow out, replacing her favoured Disraeli and Salisbury before finally retiring and allowing the reluctant Rosebery to become her final (new) PM.
