Giorgio Armani, 1934–2025

Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani, one of the most influential figures in modern fashion, has died at the age of 91. The news was confirmed by his company on Thursday, stating he passed away “surrounded by his loved ones.”

In its official statement, the Armani Group said:

“With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani.”

The announcement was first reported by France 24, which noted that Armani’s fashion house would set up a funeral chamber in Milan on Saturday and Sunday, followed by a private funeral at a later date.

Born in Piacenza in 1934, Armani started out in medicine before moving into window dressing and eventually fashion design. In 1975, he co-founded his namesake label, selling his Volkswagen Beetle to raise the funds. What began as a small venture grew into one of the most powerful fashion empires in the world, spanning couture, ready-to-wear, perfumes, hotels, and interior design.

He was known for pioneering unstructured tailoring, a style that stripped away stiffness and redefined power dressing in the 1980s. Armani’s designs became synonymous with understated luxury, worn by Hollywood stars, business leaders, and royalty alike. His connection to Dubai was especially significant — the Armani Hotel in Burj Khalifa remains one of the city’s landmarks, blending his design vision with the Middle East’s modern luxury lifestyle.

By 2025, the Armani Group was generating an annual turnover of more than €2.3 billion ($2.7 billion), making it one of Italy’s most successful fashion houses. Armani’s health had been declining in recent months. In June, he missed Milan Men’s Fashion Week—marking the first time in his decades-long career that he was absent from a catwalk show.

In Italy, Armani was affectionately known as Re Giorgio (King Giorgio). Unlike many designers who later stepped back from the spotlight, Armani remained at the heart of his company until the end. His eye for detail and insistence on perfection set him apart shaping a brand that balanced creativity with strong business acumen.

The company confirmed that a funeral chamber will be open to the public in Milan over the weekend, allowing admirers and industry figures to pay their respects. A private family funeral will follow at a later date. Giorgio Armani leaves behind not just a global fashion empire, but also a legacy that reshaped how the world understands elegance, discipline, and Italian style.

Khloé Kardashian Opens Up About Her Cosmetic Enhancements and Injectables

After nearly two decades in the spotlight, Khloé Kardashian is embracing a more open approach to conversations about cosmetic procedures.

The Kardashians star addressed her cosmetic procedures in a People interview published June 18, explaining why she decided to list them publicly last year. The choice came after years of speculation and online commentary about her appearance.

“This gentleman was dictating all these things that I did,” said Khloé, 41, referencing social media claims. “If I did, I would totally say that. I don’t have a problem with it.”

But setting the record straight mattered. “I also want people to know, not that anyone thinks this is all natural, but it’s not,” she added. “There is maintenance involved. I’ve been in the public eye since I was 21. Age has something to do with it, weight loss for sure. But yes, I’ve had enhancements. I’ve had my nose done. I love any sort of laser or injectable.”

Khloé, mom to daughter True and son Tatum with ex Tristan Thompson, said she’s currently focused on non-invasive treatments. While she isn’t ruling out a facelift in the future, like mom Kris Jenner, she prefers lasers and injectables for now. “Before I need to get my face surgically done, I’m going to do all the lasers and injectables or whatever that I can,” she said.

She previously confirmed receiving Botox, Sculptra injections, Sofwave laser treatments, a nose job, and collagen threads under her chin and neck. She also shares beauty tips with sister Kim Kardashian, swapping recommendations on new treatments. “We’ll go down these rabbit holes,” Khloé said. “I’ll see a stretch mark laser commercial and send it to her. We’re like, ‘We need that.’”

Still, Khloé told People that her sense of beauty comes from time at home. “It sounds so corny, but I do feel most beautiful with my kids,” she said. “Hearing little giggles, having silly dance parties, just rolling on the floor. That’s what I’ve learned is the most beautiful to me.”

Khloé joins a growing list of celebrities who’ve spoken openly about their cosmetic work, including Julia Fox, Ariana Grande, Martha Stewart, and Selena Gomez.

The Oscar-winning actress shared the news on Instagram on June 19, following recent sightings of her baby bump while vacationing in Saint-Tropez. Anne Hathaway is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman. The actor confirmed the pregnancy on Instagram on Friday, June 19, through a short video set to “Baby I’m Yours” by Barbara Lewis. In the clip, she walks into frame wearing a flowing white linen two-piece from Nothing Fits But, its smocked waistline sitting against a visibly pregnant belly . She cradles her bump, smiles at the camera, and then playfully steps out of frame. The caption reads, “x Baby, I’m yours x.”

The announcement followed weeks of speculation after Hathaway was photographed on vacation in Saint-Tropez, her stomach visible beneath a series of breezy maxi dresses and cover-ups. She was also photographed in a bikini and later in one of her signature wetsuits, with her growing baby bump clearly visible.

Hathaway and Shulman, who married in 2012, already share two sons: Jonathan and Jack, both of whom the couple have raised largely away from public attention.

This is not the first time Hathaway has used an Instagram announcement to speak honestly about the road to pregnancy. In 2019, confirming her second, she wrote: “It’s not for a movie… #2,” before adding: “All kidding aside, for everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies. Sending you extra love.”

The announcement comes as Hathaway continues an active period in her career, with several notable roles lined up. She recently reprised her role as Andy Sachs in the long-awaited sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” and starred in A24’s “Mother Mary,” a musical psychodrama in which she plays a pop star unraveling at the height of her fame.

Looking ahead, Hathaway will star as Penelope in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” as well as in the dystopian thriller The End of Oak Street and the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Verity.
