Looks aren’t everything (or so our mums tell us) but when there’s a brand new Doctor in the Tardis, they become pretty important. Tradition tells us that each Doctor has their own signature style – from Tom Baker’s iconic stripey scarf to Peter Davison’s cricket-and-celery combo, and Matt Smith’s “cool” bowtie – giving us clues about what kind of Doctor they’ll be.
So what will Ncuti Gatwa’s fifteenth Doctor be like? Details are scarce so far, but his fashion-forward costumes give us plenty of interesting hints…
No More Unchanging Doctor Costume
Finally, it looks like the Doctor is going to take the occasional shower.
Past Doctors have either stuck rigidly to a single costume – like William Hartnell’s suave, Victorian-era get-up or Colin Baker’s coat of many colours – or gone for a consistent look, like David Tennant wearing the same geek-chic suit in different colours,...

In Mr. Malcolm’s List, the nature of love is as diverse as the groundbreaking period rom-com’s casting.
The Regency-era film, adapted from Suzanne Allain’s book of the same name and directed by Emma Holly Jones in her feature debut, follows the romantic rollercoasters of four distinctly different people navigating the courting season: the handsome but guarded Jeremy Malcolm (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù), the humble and intelligent Selina Dalton (Freida Pinto), the clever but insecure Julia Thistlewaite (Zawe Ashton) and the confident and charming Henry Ossory (Theo James).
Mixed up in a plan to humiliate Jeremy, the season’s most eligible bachelor, after his rejection of Julia makes her a public joke, Selina finds herself torn between her friend and her heart, while army captain Henry discovers that he may be romantically pursuing the wrong woman.

For the team behind Bleecker Street’s enchanting Mr. Macolm’s List, determination and dedication were key to making a film that’s not only this summer’s sweetest romance, but in many ways, felt like an impossible feat.
During the New York premiere at the DGA Theatre, director Emma Holly Jones, screen and book writer Suzzane Allain and leading actors Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù and Freida Pinto spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the film’s long and rocky journey to screen, what makes its leading actors so special and the women who helped bring the inclusive regency rom-com to screen.
Allain, who wrote the script as well as the original story — and who is currently writing two follow-ups — credited Jones with shepherding the film through its seven-year journey to getting made. “She was so determined and without her determination, I really don’t...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Camelot,” the Season 2 premiere of “The Spanish Princess.”
When “The Spanish Princess” returns for its second season, Queen Catherine (Charlotte Hope) and Henry VIII (Ruairi O’Connor) are ruling together over the country as the house of Tudor.
When the audience rejoins the royal couple, they are closer than ever; she has given birth to a royal heir; her father, King Ferdinand of Spain (Antonio de la Torre), is coming to visit the royal court, and the costumes are just as lavish and sumptuous as ever.
Bold prints, colors and embroidery are all behind designer’s Pam Downe’s looks for Queen Catherine. Her silhouette is sleeker now that she has ascended to power. But it’s a rocky road ahead for Catherine, as the Spanish monarch has to tackle different viewpoints while the royal heir is needed to anchor her relationship and her future.
