• The iconic supermodel, 57, wowed in a sheer lace LBD that bared her abs at the screening of Amarga Navidad.

• The 2026 Cannes Film Festival dress code prohibits naked or sheer dressing due to "decency reasons."

For the second year in a row, the 2026 Cannes Film Festival has prohibitednaked or sheer dressingfor "decency reasons”—and attendees are getting creative withskirting around the Cannes dress code, or, in some cases,flouting it entirely. Case in point: Supermodel Helena Christensen made a rule-breaking NSFW style moment on May 19.

From the moment she left Le Majestic hotel, the 57-year-oldrunway starensured all eyes were on her as she unveiled ablack naked dressthat was constructed almost entirely from see-through black lace. Making a red carpet entrance at the screening ofAmarga Navidad,Christensen showed off different angles of her plunging slip dress, which featured black velvet bra cups trimmed with black lace and a dramatic backless design that was held in place with two pieces of string.

The Danish fashion model’s barely-there black silk number was covered in delicate sheer lace panels, exposing large swatches of skin on her midriff and legs. As she posed for photos at the legendary Palais de Festivals, Christensen revealed how she’d bypassed Cannes’s “decency” rules with opaque layers of black ruffled fabric wrapping around the top of her skirt in the front and the back.

The mermaid-like silhouette of Christensen’s dress also featured a black silk trim at the bottom of the floor-skimming lace skirt, showing off just a glimpse of her strappy black stiletto sandals underneath.

Christensen accessorized her bold LBD with silver hoop earrings, a small black leather clutch adorned with a bow, and a white watch. She brought the drama by styling her chest-length chestnut brown hair in a French girl-coded blowout with her full bangs swept over one eye. A brown smoky eyeshadow and a dewy pink flush on her cheekbones and lips finished off her Cannes red carpet look.

StanChart CEO seeks to reassure staff over AI-linked job cuts

HONG KONG, May 20 (Reuters) - Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters sought to assuage staff concerns on Wednesday, a day ‌after saying that the bank will cut thousands of ‌jobs over the next four years as it moves to replace "lower-value human capital" ​with technology.

"Many of you will have seen media coverage following the Investor Event in Hong Kong, particularly the reporting around automation, AI, and workforce changes," Winters said in a memo to the bank's ‌staff reviewed by Reuters.

"I ⁠know this may be unsettling when reduced to simple headlines or a quote out of context," he ⁠said.

A spokesperson for the bank confirmed the memo's content.

StanChart said on Tuesday it would cut 15% of its corporate function roles by 2030, ​which, ​according to a Reuters calculation, would ​result in nearly 8,000 ‌redundancies out of its more than 52,000 staff in such roles.

The bank cited AI as a driver to slim its operations in its quest to increase profitability and tackle competition.

"It's not cost-cutting. It's replacing in some cases lower-value human capital with the financial ‌capital and the investment capital we're putting ​in," Winters said on Tuesday.

In his ​memo to staff on ​Wednesday, Winters said the bank had been open ‌that its workforce will evolve.

"Some roles ​will reduce in ​number, some will change, and new opportunities will emerge. We will continue to prioritise investment in reskilling and redeployment wherever ​we can," he ‌said.

"Where changes do happen, we will handle them with ​thought and care," he added.

Russia says troops deliver nuclear warheads in major exercise

Russia shows troops moving nuclear warheads in major exercise

MOSCOW, May 20 (Reuters) - Russia on Wednesday showed what it said was footage of troops delivering nuclear warheads to mobile Iskander-M missile launch systems, loading them and ‌moving them to launch sites as part of a major nuclear exercise.

In a statement released ‌to state media, the Defence Ministry said its forces had practised bringing units to "the highest levels of combat readiness for the use ​of nuclear weapons".

The three-day exercise, which started on Tuesday and is taking place across Russia and Belarus, comes at a time when Moscow is locked in what it says is an existential struggle with the West over Ukraine.

A senior Russian diplomat warned on Tuesday that the risks of a direct clash between Russia and NATO were increasing ‌due to what he said was a ⁠growing narrative in European capitals about the "looming threat of a high-intensity war" with Russia.

The diplomat, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, said the consequences of such a clash could ⁠be catastrophic.

The Defence Ministry said the nuclear drills, which involve 64,000 military personnel, more than 200 missile launchers, 140 aircraft, 73 surface ships and 13 submarines, would include rehearsing launch procedures for Russian tactical nuclear weapons based in Belarus.

Video ​of ​the training element showed Russian nuclear forces moving in convoy ​through a heavily forested area, camouflaging their ‌vehicles, and raising a launch tube into firing position. The Defence Ministry did not say where the drills took place.

The Iskander-M, a mobile guided missile system code-named "SS-26 Stone" by NATO, replaced the Soviet "Scud". Its guided missiles have a range of up to 500 km (300 miles) and can carry conventional or nuclear warheads.

Russia has used the Iskander-M against Ukrainian forces, according to state media. It has also deployed them in its European exclave of ‌Kaliningrad in the past, and it has placed them in ​neighbouring Belarus, putting Ukraine and several NATO members within their range.

Throughout ​the war in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has ​issued reminders of Russia's nuclear might as a warning to the West not to ‌go too far in its support of ​Kyiv.

The U.S.-based Institute for the ​Study of War said the latest drills looked aimed at amplifying longstanding narratives aimed at influencing NATO decision-making to Ukraine's detriment and masking what the ISW said were Russia’s own difficulties in prosecuting ​its war in Ukraine.

Russia says its ‌forces are still advancing in Ukraine and that its aim of taking control of the remainder ​of the eastern Donbas region remains unchanged.

57-Year-Old Underwent Intense Facelift. Then Her Teen Daughter Found Out Why She Went Viral for It (Exclusive)

Denise, a patient of Beverly Hills, Calif., surgeon Dr. Carl Truesdale, underwent full-face rejuvenation surgery in early 2026

NEED TO KNOW

• Her immediate facelift results went viral, and she tells PEOPLE how it impacted her recovery

• She previously underwent a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation

When Denise, a mom and nurse from Northern California, decided to get plastic surgery in her late 50s, she wasn't nervous about what was to come. By then, she had already undergone a breast augmentation in the '90s as well as a rhinoplasty. When she went into the operating room in January for full-facial rejuvenation, it wasn't the operation itself that shocked her — it was what came after.

Four months ago, Denise, who was 57 at the time of her procedure, underwent a deep plane facelift, neck lift, lip lift, eye pinch and CO2 laser treatment performed by Beverly Hills, Calif.-based surgeonDr. Carl Truesdale.

"I've never had any kind of facial plastic surgery in the past that was this extensive," she tells PEOPLE of what inspired the transformation. "But as I got into my mid-50s, my skin really started to lose its elasticity, and it just started getting to where I thought, 'Well, let's fix this before it turns into a major issue.' " She also got a little nudge from her friend, who told her, "Well, why don't you? You'd spend that much on a car.'"

So on Jan. 6, she underwent the intense surgery without telling anyone, and her results were so seamless that no one in her personal life suspected plastic surgery. "When I went back to work, people would pass right by me, and a couple people would say, 'Oh wow, you looked good and refreshed. You had some time off. You must have went on vacation,' " she recalls.

The reaction to her appearance was a lot different online.

While Denise stayed mum about her procedure in real life, her teenage daughter — who traveled with her to Beverly Hills for the surgery — revealed that she started goingviral online. "I remember standing there in the kitchen, and my 19-year-old said, 'Mom, oh my gosh, you're on Instagram.' And I'm like, 'What do you mean?'"

Truesdale is famous for his clients' before-and-afters, and his social media video of Denise right after her procedure — stitches and all — garnered over 11 million views on TikTok. In fact, it gained so much traction that Denise says her friend from Alaska, who hadn't known about her procedure, texted her to ask if she'd had surgery.

The original video received a fair share of negative comments and scrutiny, but the reactions were nowhere near how Denise herself felt. "It was really pretty shocking to me, and I just had to step away from it, because a lot of people don't understand why you [get plastic surgery]," she says, adding that her immediate results were far from what she'd see a few months later when everything settled in.

Once the shock factor wore off, Denise realized that "people are always going to say things," and now she's very pleased with her results, particularly that of her laser peel, which has left her with a "really fresh base again."

"I feel a lot better and feel refreshed," she adds. "I don't care how many years it turned back. I just wanted to freshen up and just do what I could do at the moment to make the rest of my years age a little better."

Now her appearance matches her youthful energy. "Being a nurse for 32 years, I'm hoping to retire in the next five years. I feel like I'm still a kid inside. I have a really immature side, and then I have a really serious side. So having the facelift is a good thing."

Denise is looking to maintain her facelift with facial peels, laser treatments and Botox. She encourages older patients like herself who want to undergo plastic surgery to do it. "If someone's saying, 'Oh, wow, you should really fix that,' that shouldn't be your motivation. You've just got to want it."
