Most looks are in luxurious, buttery leather in monochromes like antique white and burgundy.

The Minions and their 'big boss' Chris Meledandri keep a blockbuster machine humming
NEW YORK (AP) — At a time of perpetual upheaval in Hollywood, the Paris-based animation studio Illumination has become one of Hollywood’s most consistent blockbuster-making operations. Since 2010’s “Despicable Me,” Illumination has accounted for more than $11 billion in global box office. Its “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” is the sole $1 billion movie of 2026 so far. Illumination’s next release, “Minions & Monsters,” which premieres Sunday at the Annecy Film Festival in France, stands a good chance of equaling it. Opening two weeks after Pixar’s “Toy Story 5,” “Minions & Monsters” will be a new test of just how much of a powerhouse Illumination has become.

Kennedy Center says it isn't required to reschedule shows after judge blocks 2-year closure
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Kennedy Center's management isn't committing to new shows or staff expansion, even as it considers options short of a full two-year closure that a federal judge blocked last month. In a court filing Friday, Kennedy Center lawyers said the venue plans to maintain an operational model after the July 5 date when it was initially scheduled to close. The public spaces will remain accessible, but stages may largely be silent. The venue must reassess its plans after a May ruling from U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper. The judge blocked the closure and ordered President Donald Trump's name removed from the building. A vote on renovation options is expected in mid-July.
