'Love Story' is revealing just how much Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's style has endured

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy is back in the spotlight as a style influencer nearly three decades after her death. The TV series “Love Story” chronicles her relationship with John F. Kennedy Jr. before the two died in a plane crash in 1999. Many fans are watching for the clothes. Admirers say Bessette Kennedy's enduring appeal lies in her understated elegance, which contrasts with today's conspicuous branding. Fashion experts describe her style as “educated tailoring.” It's a simple style with deceptively exact tailoring. It features iconic pieces like slip dresses, loafers and headbands.

The former Prince Andrew went from helicopter pilot to trade envoy to royal pariah

LONDON (AP) — The former Prince Andrew is the first senior British royal in modern history to be arrested by police. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was detained on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office, in an investigation stemming from his relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He was born in 1960, the third child of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip. He spent 22 years in the Royal Navy, serving as a helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands War. Named Britain’s special representative for international trade in 2001, he was forced to step down from that role in 2011 amid growing concern about his friendship with Epstein. Last year that friendship cost him his royal title and honors.

A movie that takes liberties with 'Wuthering Heights'? Scholars are OK with that

NEW YORK (AP) — Emerald Fennell’s new “Wuthering Heights” sparked a familiar fight about book adaptations, but some Brontë experts say it still works. Last weekend, the film led the box office in North America despite mostly negative reviews. Experts and fans debated big choices, like casting Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and Margot Robbie as a blond Cathy. Scholar Claire O’Callaghan says Robbie captured Cathy’s spoiled side well. Writer Lucasta Miller says it makes no sense to demand strict fidelity. She calls the film stylized and fairy-tale like. Experts also argue the novel is too complex for a two-hour film.

In Olympic host village Cortina, wearing fur never went out of style

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Fur coats are plentiful on the streets of Cortina, especially during these Winter Games. When asked to explain why furs remain so common here, while much of the world has moved to synthetic alternatives whether for environmental, ethical or affordability reasons, the answers are revealing. Italians say it’s a bubble, devoid of political activists and the working class. Coats of mink, lynx, wolf, sable and ocelot can be seen up and down the Corso Italia, the main street. They can range from a few thousand euros to 80,000 euros.

A father and his son are searching for their daughter and sister at a rave in the Moroccon desert as the world burns in Oliver Laxe’s “Sirāt.” The Oscar-nominated, Cannes-prize winning film is expanding to more North American theaters Friday.
