Alicia Vikander brought full red-carpet glamour to Venice on Sunday, arriving in a striking blue ruffled gown alongside her husband, Michael Fassbender, for the premiere of The Echo Chamber.

The 37-year-old Swedish actress cut an elegant figure in the dramatic dress, which featured a thigh-high split and an oversized bow detail across the front.

Commanding attention as she posed for photographers, Alicia later shared a tender kiss with Michael, who was by her side in a show of support.

Michael, 49, looked polished in a classic black tuxedo and sunglasses, smiling as he joined Alicia for photos on the Venice red carpet.

The couple first met while filming The Light Between Oceans in 2014 and went on to marry in October 2017 during an intimate ceremony in Ibiza, Spain.

They welcomed their first son in 2021 and their second son, whose name has not been revealed, earlier in 2024. They now reside in Lisbon, Portugal, with their two children.

The Echo Chamber is a sombre, intimate love story following a drug-addicted music producer Leo (played by Luca Marinelli), and an enigmatic physiotherapist, Anne (played by Alicia). 

Their codependent relationship circles through intense attachment, care, control and separation.

Directed by Andrea Pallaoro, the film serves as a highly anticipated Golden Lion contender and is adapted from the final screenplay penned by legendary Italian film-maker Bernardo Bertolucci before his death.

Alicia was joined on the red carpet by her co-stars Luca Marinelli, Susan Sarandon and director Andrea.

Susan, 79, displayed her incredibly youthful looks in a simplistic strapless black gown and opted for a swipe of red lipstick.

Orlando Bloom made an appearance dressed in an all-black tuxedo as he smiled for photographs.

Meanwhile, Irina Shayk, 40, showcased her model physique in a vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress with racy tie up detailing.

The model recreated fellow runway star Bella Hadid’s 21st birthday look, wearing the exact same dress. 

Ewan McGregor’s daughter Clara looked the epitome of elegance in a glitzy semi-sheer gown which featured a long train.  

Despite having a settled home base, Alicia and Michael lead hectic lives, with Alicia joking they have become ‘nomads’ as they move between homes in four different countries for work.

The couple typically take turns staying at home with their sons while the other is away filming.

Speaking to The Independent, Alicia said: ‘We’ve been in Lisbon; we’ve been in London a lot, and we spend a lot of time in Italy and France. We’re nomads. That’s the hard part with work, we can’t plan far ahead.’

Alicia shared a rare insight into co-parenting with her husband and opened up about her battles with ‘mum guilt’.

The actress made the rare comments during a stylish shoot for British Vogue ahead of her West End debut last year.

While Alicia admitted both her and her husband’s schedules can be gruelling, she said they make sure never to work at the same time in order for one parent to always be at home with the kids.

‘It can be very long days, and a lot of the time you will leave before the kids get up and then maybe not be back before they sleep. So knowing that one parent is always home. With all the parent and mum guilt that you already carry with you constantly – I am battling that a lot, all the time.’

She also spoke about life in Lisbon following the family’s move to Portugal: ‘My husband said he wanted to surf every day. We’re on the beach with the kids every weekend we are there.’

A federal judge in California, appointed by former President Joe Biden, has directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release David Antonio Aviles-Perez, whom federal officials identify as an MS-13 gang member wanted in El Salvador in connection with an aggravated murder case. President Donald Trump designated MS-13 a foreign terrorist organization in 2025.

Aviles-Perez, described by authorities as an illegal alien with a lengthy criminal record in the United States, was released from ICE custody on Wednesday following an order from U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta.

The Department of Homeland Security says Aviles-Perez is the subject of an international warrant out of El Salvador for aggravated murder. Federal officials also cite prior arrests in California involving assault with a deadly weapon, controlled substance possession, and petty theft.

ICE took Aviles-Perez into custody in March after he had been released from local custody following an arrest for assault with a deadly weapon. At the time, DHS sharply criticized California’s sanctuary policies, arguing they had allowed a dangerous criminal alien to return to the community. Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said then, “ICE arrested this dangerous criminal illegal alien and MS-13 gang member wanted in El Salvador for murder. Gavin Newsom’s sanctuary policies allowed this gang member to be released from jail after his arrest for assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance, and petty theft. Releasing this gang member back into California neighborhoods put American lives at risk.”

DHS officials say Aviles-Perez entered the United States unlawfully at an unknown time and place. Before the judge’s order, he had been held by ICE while awaiting removal and potential extradition to El Salvador, where authorities are seeking him on the outstanding murder warrant.

The details of the murder Aviles-Perez was convicted of in El Salvador were outlined in a report by the New York Post. According to the Post, the international warrant for his arrest stems from a conviction for a 2014 murder Aviles-Perez committed in his home country.

In December, authorities in El Salvador sentenced the violent gang member to a term of 20 years in prison for the murder of an enemy with the help of an accomplice. According to the Post’s report, Aviles-Perez, also known as “la bruja” or “the witch,” and his associates shot and killed the victim during a dispute.

According to a police report obtained by the Post, law enforcement authorities in Monterey, California arrested Aviles-Perez after he allegedly attacked a homeless man by swinging a machete at the victim.

Judge Ohta was appointed to the federal bench as a U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of California by President Biden in 2021. She was lauded as being the first Asian Pacific American female judge on the District Court. In her Wednesday ruling, Ohta instructed ICE to release Aviles-Perez, despite the international murder warrant, unless federal authorities prove he poses a danger to the community or is a flight risk. At the time of his last criminal arrest in California, Aviles-Perez was listed as being in a “transient” status.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin expressed his outrage at Ohta’s ruling, saying, “This radical activist judge has put American lives at risk by releasing a wanted murderer. This is now the SECOND time this dangerous illegal has been released back onto the streets in California. Because sanctuary politicians want to play politics from the bench, innocent Americans are in danger. DHS and ICE will not be deterred by these partisan games. If California’s leaders won’t protect Americans, DHS will.”

The wife of British racing driver Ollie Millroy has said she can scarcely believe he survived after his Ferrari erupted in flames — and has credited a rival driver’s split-second bravery with keeping him alive.

Millroy, 36, was competing in a China GT race at the Shanghai International Circuit when two cars collided with his Ferrari as he negotiated a bend.

Footage from the crash shows his car spinning violently off the circuit before it is engulfed by fierce flames, with thick black smoke rising over the wreckage.

Dutch competitor Loek Hartog can then be seen stopping beside the burning car, rapidly releasing his seat belt and leaping out to help — a decision that ended his own hopes of victory.

Millroy’s wife, Fern, who is now at his bedside in a Shanghai hospital, shared an update this morning on his injuries and surgery, saying Hartog’s actions saved her husband’s life.

‘Surgery went well yesterday,’ Fern wrote. ‘It took several hours, main work being his right hand. He now has metal along the entirety of his clavicle right side, metal inside his right hand, six broken ribs supported with a compression wrap and on high flow oxygen whilst his lung recovers.

‘Tried to come off the oxygen but his O2 level was just too low. He is in great care at this fantastic hospital in Shanghai and we can’t thank the staff here enough. More X Rays and CT tomorrow morning.

‘I still can’t believe he’s alive, purely down to our real life superhero @loekhartog_.’

Ollie and Fern married in October 2021 and have three young children. 

Through a camera near the driver’s seat of Hartog’s car, the 23-year-old can be seen desperately rummaging through the Ferrari’s remains in a bid to free Millroy, who had become trapped in the fireball.

Hartog today wrote: ‘Overwhelmed by the support from everyone over the past two days. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of a racing community that looks after each other the way this one does.

‘Thank you for all the messages and support sent to Ollie, his wife and family, and also to me and my family. It really means a lot. I’m travelling back home now and honestly can’t wait to be there. I’m feeling good for now, but there have naturally been a lot of thoughts running through my head over the past few days.

‘Most importantly, I want to make sure those thoughts and everything we’ve experienced are directed towards something constructive. In Ollie’s words: making sure that no two people ever have to go through the same thing again in the future.’

From hospital, Millroy thanked the Dutchman for ‘saving his life’.

He wrote: ‘I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man. Loek Hartog stopped instantly with no flag marshals or fire crews in sight, and risked his own life to get me out of the car.

‘I don’t remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life.

‘One day I will tell our three kids this story and Loek will be the biggest superhero in history in their eyes too. 

‘I’m laying here tonight with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken hand and finger and a bruised lung, but it could have been much worse.

‘Thank you Loek. I owe you my life for your selfless act today.’

Hartog, meanwhile, posted on his own social media: ‘When I saw a car turning into a huge fireball far ahead, there wasn’t really a decision to make.

‘From what I had seen, I genuinely believed the driver might not be able to get out by himself. I stopped, got out and went towards the car. There was never a moment of doubt.

‘It was scary. There were moments where I didn’t know I would actually be able to get Ollie out. But this isn’t about what I did, and I’m sure many people in the same position would have reacted exactly the same way.’

Lululemon founder Chip Wilson has filed for divorce from his wife of two decades, setting up a closely watched split involving one of the most recognizable names in athletic apparel — and, reportedly, no prenuptial agreement.

Wilson, 71, is seeking to end his marriage to Shannon “Summer” Wilson, 52, who has also been his business partner. The move comes years after he stepped away from the company following backlash over a series of controversial remarks about Lululemon customers.

The American-born entrepreneur, who was raised in Canada and continues to live there, filed a family legal proceeding in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in April, Bloomberg reported.

The specific reasons behind the couple’s breakup after 20 years of marriage have not been made clear. However, people familiar with the situation told the outlet that the Wilsons had discussed their separation with friends.

Those sources also said the couple never signed a prenuptial agreement, leaving questions over how their assets may ultimately be divided, according to Bloomberg.

Wilson stepped away from the athleisure-wear company over a decade ago along with his wife, who worked as Lululemon’s founding lead designer and one of the first employees. 

The founder got into some hot water after publicly condemning the ‘whole diversity and inclusion thing,’ which he described as a detriment to the brand following his departure. 

Wilson made controversial comments in 2013 on the bodies and weight of some of his customers, who he said caused him to recall pants in the store over sheerness that revealed women’s rear ends.

‘Quite frankly, some women’s bodies just actually don’t work for [the pants],’ he told Bloomberg in 2013. 

‘It’s more really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there over a period of time, how much they use it.’

The company was forced to pull nearly 17 percent of its popular black Luon pants and offered full refunds or exchanges after customers complained that they were see-through. 

Stock for Lululemon dropped by 17 percent after grossing nearly $1.4 billion in sales the year prior, ABC News reported at the time. 

Although Wilson later apologized for the comments, he departed the company not long after.  

Wilson would later tell Forbes in 2024 that the company’s decision to advertise ‘unhealthy’ and ‘sickly’ people was drawing in the wrong clientele.

The founder accused the company of ‘trying to become like Gap’ by appealing to the masses, or becoming ‘everything to everybody.’

‘I think the definition of a brand is that you’re not everything to everybody,’ he told the outlet. ‘You’ve got to be clear that you don’t want certain customers coming in.’

Lululemon said in a statement to TODAY at the time that Wilson ‘does not speak for lululemon, and his comments do not reflect our company views or beliefs.’

‘Chip has not been involved with the company since his resignation from the board in 2015 and we are a very different company today.

‘Lululemon is committed to creating and fostering an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming environment throughout our organization and across our communities. We have made considerable progress since launching our Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Action (IDEA) function, and we are proud of the goals we have achieved.

‘We also recognize that becoming a more diverse and inclusive organization takes time and is only possible through the sustained efforts of our leaders and our people. We remain steadfast in our commitment to become a more inclusive and diverse company.’

Wilson now holds around 8.6 percent of Lululemon’s shares, equating to just less than $1 billion, Bloomberg reported. 

His wife also holds around a one percent stake in the company, valued at roughly $100 million, according to the outlet. 

Lululemon has shares sitting at their lowest in eight years, with stock that fell by 17 percent last week. 

Former Nike Inc executive Heidi O’Neill is set to come in as chief executive on Tuesday, the outlet reported. 

The Daily Mail reached out to Lululemon and attempted to reach Chip and Summer Wilson for comment.
