Florence Pugh turned heads during a stylish night out in Mayfair on Friday.

The 30-year-old actress let her hair down after attending a screening of her upcoming Netflix series, East of Eden.

She made a bold entrance in a sheer black dress that offered a glimpse of her figure, pairing it with a black thong for coverage.

Florence layered a black coat over the revealing outfit and completed the look with open-toe platform heels and silver drop earrings.

East of Eden stars Pugh as the complicated Cathy Ames in the seven-part adaptation of John Steinbeck’s acclaimed novel.

Set in California’s Salinas Valley during the early 20th century, the drama follows several generations of the Trask and Hamilton families as their lives become closely connected.

Cathy is portrayed as a highly manipulative woman who rejects the expectations placed on women of her era. She abandons her role as a wife and mother, leaving her husband before finding work in a brothel.

While discussing the new series, Florence also responded to questions about reported tensions with director Olivia Wilde during the making of Don’t Worry Darling.

Speculation about a rift between the pair intensified during the film’s 2022 press tour and release. Reports suggested the alleged disagreement was linked to Wilde’s relationship with singer Harry Styles.

Wilde, 42, has previously rejected claims that she and Pugh had a “screaming match” on set. Pugh has also referred to the “difficulties” surrounding the production in an interview with Vanity Fair.

Asked about the subject, the actress said: “Oh, no. I feel like there’s so much stuff we’ve covered that is important for me and on track with my life and my career,” before being questioned about whether she had seen Wilde’s new film, The Invite, which has received praise from critics.

Pugh replied: “I haven’t, but I’ve heard it’s fantastic, and a great cast. Great cast.”

Later, she appeared to reference the reports by saying that, if she directed a film in the future, she would not want the atmosphere on her set to become “messy.”

She explained: “I don’t like messy sets. I want people to come to work and work, and enjoy that it’s a luxury to do this.”

“When moods change on set, it’s because someone is preventing that from happening, and that’s what makes people feel like they haven’t been cared for.”

Wilde addressed the speculation about her relationship with Pugh in June, denying claims that she had shouted at the actress while filming Don’t Worry Darling.

At the time, reports claimed the disagreement stemmed from Wilde’s relationship with Harry Styles, with Pugh allegedly upset that the director was involved with the singer while still engaged to Jason Sudeikis.

Olivia specifically denied a claim she and Florence got into a ‘screaming match’ on the set of the film, a movie about women who were unknowingly made to become Fifties housewives at the behest of their boyfriends.

‘I have never had a screaming match on my set. I was never not available on set. I wanted to be like, ‘None of this is true,” she told the publication.

The relationship – which Olivia called ‘loving and wonderful and joyful’ – lasted for nearly two years.

Olivia, who directed the movie, claimed she was advised against speaking up about the speculation by the studio and other parties – a request she acquiesced to but now regrets.

‘I was told, “Don’t say a f**king word. Just go out there and smile,”‘ Olivia, shaking her head, told The Cut. ‘I resent that, but it taught me it’s not the way I want to handle things.’

At the time, a report in Page Six claimed Florence took issue with Olivia for supposedly taking up with Harry while still engaged to her ex Jason.

The apparent feud intensified when Olivia referred to Florence as ‘Miss Flo’ and said she needed a ‘wake-up call’ during the rehearsal period of the movie, in a video to actor Shia LaBeouf that was leaked.

At the time, Vulture reported that the director and her star got into a ‘screaming match’ with one another while filming the movie, as the director would often disappear with Harry.

‘Olivia and Harry would just disappear,’ an insider claimed to the outlet.

According to an unnamed insider on the movie, Florence and Olivia came to blows over her ‘frequent, unexplained absences’, on set which resulted in a ‘screaming match’ between the two women.

Olivia did praise Florence when asked about the feud during a press conference for the film at the Venice Film Festival, which was not attended by Florence due to previous filming obligations.

‘Can you just clear the air and address whether there has been a falling-out there and if so why, because it’s something that people are discussing?’ the reporter asked.

Olivia responded: ‘Florence is a force and we are so grateful that she is able to make it tonight despite being in production on Dune.’

‘I know as a director how disruptive it is to lose an actor even for a day so I’m very grateful to her and Denis Villeneuve for helping us – we’re really thrilled we’ll get to celebrate her work tonight.’

She continued: ‘I can’t say enough how honoured I am to have her as our lead. She’s amazing in the film and, as for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, I mean, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel the need to contribute, I think it’s sufficiently well nourished.’

A Missouri substitute teacher says she lost her position after school officials discovered that she operated an OnlyFans account as a way to earn additional income.

Sheena Sittner, 42, said she was recently dismissed from her substitute teaching role with Parkway Schools after the district learned about her online content page.

The Ballwin mother criticized teacher pay and argued that higher salaries might have kept educators from seeking alternative sources of income.

“If teachers were paid better, women wouldn’t have to resort to online content creation,” Sittner told KTVI. “Sex sells.”

Sittner said she had been substituting at her own child’s school during the same period that she maintained her account as an adult content creator.

“It’s funny because I’ve had this OnlyFans account for more than two years,” she told the outlet.

She said the person who uncovered the account must have searched extensively, noting that it remained undiscovered for roughly two years before the issue emerged.

Sittner acknowledged that she always understood her online activity could eventually become public, since anything posted on the internet can remain there permanently.

However, she said she never expected the discovery to prevent her from returning to her child’s school in any capacity.

Kelly Education, the staffing company that employed her, notified Sittner by email that she had been suspended and was facing termination, according to her account to the outlet.

The message also instructed her not to contact any school or district, she said.

That restriction angered Sittner, who believed it meant she could no longer volunteer at her child’s school.

She said the decision made her feel as though she had committed an unforgivable offense and was being barred from volunteering at the school.

“I can find another job. I can handle the backlash and the criticism, but when it affects my child or my children, that’s where I draw the line,” she said.

Parkway Schools disputed that interpretation, telling the local outlet that Sittner remains eligible to volunteer even though she is no longer working as a substitute teacher.

According to the report, she may volunteer after passing a background check and completing the district’s required online safety training.

Kelly Education also responded to the matter, telling the outlet that its decision “does not, and cannot, limit anyone’s right as a parent.”

‘Nothing in our request restricts their participation in their child’s education.’

Meanwhile, Sittner said her online profile will not interfere with her professional career.

‘My personal life is completely separate from my professional life. I have kept those two separate forever.’ 

According to her Facebook profile, Sittner stopped working for Parkway Schools on September 8. She also had her OnlyFans link in her bio, but it is unclear when she added it.  

The Daily Mail contacted Sittner, Parkway Schools and Kelly Education for comment. 

Archaeologists have discovered a 4,000-year-old tomb belonging to one of ancient Egypt’s most influential officials, complete with a mysterious “portal to the afterlife.”

The tomb was found in the Bubasteion Necropolis at Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most significant archaeological sites.

Hieroglyphic inscriptions identify its owner as Sakhnetio-Btah, a senior official who lived during Egypt’s Old Kingdom.

The inscriptions describe him as the “keeper of the king’s secrets” — a title that points to his close and privileged access to the pharaoh’s inner circle.

Despite its enigmatic wording, the title is not thought to refer to the protection of hidden treasures or religious mysteries.

Instead, experts believe it described a powerful official entrusted with confidential royal documents and decrees on behalf of an Old Kingdom pharaoh.

Sakhnetio-Btah also served as a royal chamberlain, a priest of the goddess Maat and supervisor of the royal library.

“The hieroglyphic inscriptions… helped to determine the name of the owner of the cemetery and the number of his titles, including the keeper of royal secrets, which reflect the high status he held in the administrative system of the ancient state,” Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said.

The burial complex includes the remains of a funerary chapel and a false door — a symbolic niche that ancient Egyptians viewed as a magical threshold linking the world of the living with the realm of the dead.

Archaeologists also recovered funerary ritual objects, including an offering table, an offering slab and a purification basin.

Because the objects were found in the positions where they were originally placed, the discovery offers a rare insight into burial customs during the Old Kingdom.

The excavation also revealed an interconnected network of burial shafts around the tomb.

The shafts contained numerous human burials and large amounts of painted funerary cartonnage — a colourful, papier-mâché-like covering placed over mummies. The material was often decorated with images of Egyptian gods, hieroglyphs and scenes intended to protect the dead during their journey into the afterlife.

More than 100 ushabti figurines were also found. These small figures were intended to serve the deceased in the afterlife.

Among the most striking discoveries were three stone sarcophagi that remained sealed, intact and in their original positions.

The team also uncovered a wooden falcon statue, along with a wide selection of pottery vessels and other artefacts.

However, preliminary investigations indicate that parts of the burial complex were looted by tomb robbers in antiquity.

Despite this, many of the surviving finds remain in remarkably good condition.

Researchers believe the discoveries will help them better understand how the site was reused over different periods of Egyptian history.

Excavations are continuing, with experts convinced that the vast necropolis still has many more secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Saqqara, where the tomb was found, is one of Egypt’s most significant archaeological sites.

It is the home of Egypt’s oldest pyramid – the step pyramid of Djoser – which was built around 4,700 years ago.

The site also contains thousands of tombs belonging to pharaohs, nobles, priests and high-ranking officials from multiple dynasties.

In recent years archaeologists at Saqqara have uncovered dozens of sealed coffins, extensive animal cemeteries, workshops used for mummification, and richly decorated burial shafts packed with statues and artefacts. 

These discoveries have transformed understanding of everyday religious life in ancient Egypt.
