Victoria Beckham caused quite a stir last year while promoting her fragrance campaign. The former Spice Girl, who has successfully transitioned from pop star to one of the world’s leading fashion designers, teamed up with renowned American photographer and videographer Steven Klein for the campaign.

Posh Spice left fans wanting more after she shared several tantalising photos on social media, featuring her in nothing but a black silk blouse, sprawled out on what appeared to be a faux beach.

Choosing not to button up her blouse and seemingly going without anything on her bottom half, the other half of England and Manchester United icon David added a touch of spice to the shoot, though she did sport a pair of black heels as she lounged on the golden sand.

Contrary to what many might have assumed, the sultry photoshoot was not for a fashion campaign, but rather to promote her latest fragrance, 21:50 Rêverie. Speaking about her collaboration with Klein – who has previously worked with big names like Madonna, Angelina Jolie, and Rihanna – Victoria praised his ability to positively portray women through his lens.

She expressed her admiration for Steven Klein’s photography of women. He portrays women as superheroes in my opinion. He perfectly captures that sentiment in my life in 2001, in the form of 21:50 Rêverie, which represents a significant change in my life.

Klein’s work certainly caught the eye of Victoria’s vast online fanbase. One admirer gushed: “David is the luckiest man on Earth.” Another chimed in with: “Absolutely gorgeous darling.”

The praise kept pouring in for the pop star turned fashion mogul, with a third fan exclaiming: “Wow, attractive woman.” Victoria’s recent three-part documentary series on Netflix, released last month, delved into her illustrious pop career, family life, and her rigorous preparation for a show at Paris Fashion Week.

Despite the negative press she received about her weight while working as a Spice Girls, she openly discussed her battle with an eating disorder. She acknowledged that her ordeal improved her deception skills as a result of reflecting on it.

I had a terrible influence on the narrative. You get very good at lying when you have an eating disorder, she said. And my parents never openly discussed it.

I never addressed it in public. When you are constantly told that you’re not good enough, it really affects you. And I suppose that’s what I’ve been through my entire life.

Despite her struggles, she acknowledged the positive influence of her bandmates Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell. She confessed that the foursome made her “feel more lighthearted, more fun,” while helping her to “feel good enough” about accepting herself.

The most influential cultural figures who most accurately predicted how we live today are named in a new list.

According to research, George Orwell, Kate Bush, and David Bowie have been named among the most influential cultural figures who most accurately predicted how we live today. Kate Bush, Roald Dahl, and Ross from Friends, who in a poll of 2, 000 adults, made the top ten list in 1999 said AI would be smarter than humans by 2030.

Other popular figures included Ridley Scott and Captain Kirk, who used to communicate via computers, foldable tablets, and other media as far back as the 1960s. The director’s groundbreaking 1982 film Blade Runner is still regarded as a cutting-edge example of technological foresight.

The study was funded by Samsung for its “Visionary Hall of Fame,” and Prince and Bjork are the top 10 musicians who predicted online dating and virtual relationships in their album, 1999, which was released over 40 years ago.

While Bjork foresaw the rise of social media in the 1990s and 2000s, predicting that technology wouldn’t just be functional, it would become deeply personal.

In a brand-new countdown video that reveals the list’s visionaries, Fearne Cotton has collaborated with the company as part of their “Can Your Phone Do This” campaign, which draws attention to Galaxy AI’s potential and goes back to her chart show roots.

These ten icons “made the future a reality,” according to the broadcaster and author. It’s amazing to see that the future they had in mind is right now in our hands.

According to the research, self-driving cars (39%) topped the list of real-world innovations that people remember seeing before they became a reality.

Next up were voice assistants (28%), video calling (33%), and artificial intelligence (39%), as well as smart watches (22%), and artificial intelligence (33%).

Those polled were also quizzed on their use of AI apps or assistants, with 24% using these on their phones daily. Many use them to ask factual questions (43%), compose messages or emails (22%), and edit photos and videos (22%).

Even among the most popular AI functions, 23% of them include speech or text translation. Nearly seven out ten (68%) of respondents) agreed that using modern, AI-powered smartphones made you feel like you were carrying the future.

With over half of the claim made by Samsung’s Annika Bizon, AI is credited with boosting general knowledge and creativity, Brits are shocked that these once-futuristic predictions are now a part of daily life.

With Galaxy AI, we are actively shaping what comes next, not just keeping up with the predictions of contemporary visionaries.

We’re transforming the possibilities of tomorrow into the realities of today, because holding the future in your hands means being more than just the opposite of the curve; you define it.

THE TEN CULTURAL ICONS WHO SAW THE FUTURE PRIOR TO THE REST OF US:

1. Orwell, George

2. The Simpsons

3. David Bowie

4. Kirk, the character from Star Trek,

5. Riley Scott

6. Kate Bush

7. Dahl Dahlia

8. Rose from Friends

9. First,

Lewis Cope’s girlfriend has shared what she thought of the Emmerdale star’s perfect score dance and his Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones.

Rachel Maya Lopez took to Instagram to gush about her “unbelievably talented” boyfriend’s dancing after the results show aired on Sunday (2 November).

She shared a video of Lewis and Katya after the show, talking about their perfect 40 score. This was the first 40 of the series and Lewis can be seen saying that he earned 20 and Katya earned 20. “Together, we’re 40,” Katya beamed.

Over the top of the clip, Rachel wrote: “These two absolutely UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED HUMANS are through to next week”. She also reposted a clip of the show where she can be seen screaming from the audience and captioned that with: “Sound off because I was very emotional and sounded like a whale moaning in pleasure.”

Later sharing a pic of the dance to her stories, in which Lewis can be seen atop a piano that Katya is pretending to play, Rachel added: “I will never get over how unbelievable these two are. HISTORY WAS MADEEEEE on Saturday night.”

She then shared a clip of the dance itself and said it was “amazing” and implied the dance brought a tear to her eye. “I’m not crying you are. Ommmgggggg this is amazing.”

Rachel rounded off her series of posts with a sweet tribute to Ellie Goldstein, who is the latest celebrity to be eliminated from the show. “It was an absolute honour getting to meet this beautiful Earth angel on strictly,” Rachel posted. “Every single week there was nothing but pure joy filling that dance floor when @elliejg16_zebedeemodel stepped out onto that strictly stage.

“The whole room would vibrate. Ellie you are the most beautiful human being with the most beautiful family. Thank you for being you.” Ellie was eliminated during Sunday’s results show after being in the dance off against Balvinder Sopal.

Lewis and Rachel have been in a relationship for seven years. In a chat with The Sun, Lewis explained how Rachel is used to seeing him kiss other people and the Strictly curse has never been a conversation between them.

“Over the years I’ve had to kiss a lot of people on stage or onscreen, as an actor, so she’s used to me kissing boys actually, but it hasn’t been a problem. Katya and Rachel have all met, it’s [the Strictly curse] never been a conversation between us.”

The Strictly curse is the common name used when a Strictly pro and their celeb dance partner become romantically involved, leading to the break up of one or both of their previous relationships.

Katya has been at the centre of some Strictly curse drama before, as she was snapped kissing her celeb partner Seann Walsh on a night out, whilst he was in a relationship.

This year, some fans have been pushing curse rumours about fellow Strictly couple, Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin. Nikita’s girlfriend, Lauren, even took to TikTok to hit back at fans and encourage them to be “respectful” of the partners of dancers who just want to enjoy the show.

In the caption of the video, where she frowned at the camera whilst the words over the top said “comments saying ‘I hope they get the strictly curse'”, she wrote: “Please be respectful to the real-life partners and let them have a good experience of the show too.”
