Widow’s Bay stormed the Emmy Awards on September 14, breaking a record for a comedy series with 14 awards, including best comedy series and three acting wins.

How a Vietnamese chef is turning family favourites into Michelin-starred feasts

Even after winning a Michelin star for his restaurant, Upstairs Tasting Room in Ho Chi Minh City, the biggest source of chef Hiep Truong’s inspiration remains the same: his mother and the family table. The dish closest to his heart – the one that reminds him most of home – is the vit hon, a traditional Central Vietnamese dish where duck meat is braised with lemongrass, turmeric, coconut water and fermented shrimp paste. At his intimate tasting room in the Vietnamese city, the duck is dry-aged...

Style Edit: Tudor expands the Ranger collection and brings back the Northflag

Few watchmakers have exploration so deeply woven into their history as Tudor. Its connection to adventure dates back to the 1950s, when Tudor watches accompanied the British North Greenland Expedition into one of the world’s most unforgiving environments. Decades later, that spirit of utility continues to inform Tudor’s approach to the modern tool watch, most recently through the expanded Ranger collection and the return of the Northflag. The Ranger traces its roots to a name registered by Hans...

How Sandrine Zhang Ferron built vintage furniture marketplace Vinterior – interview

Sandrine Zhang Ferron’s path to entrepreneurship was less a predictable trajectory and more a conscious pivot. She grew up between Suzhou in China, France and London, with her upbringing placing a premium on stable, conventional career paths rather than creative pursuits. “In my family, it was not an obvious thing to do,” notes the founder of Vinterior, the London-based vintage and antique furniture marketplace. “There was no tradition of design, entrepreneurship or art.” Zhang Ferron’s career...

She remains one of the world’s most cosplayed video game characters, while US rapper Nicki Minaj borrowed the heroine’s name for her 2018 single,...

The 83rd Venice International Film Festival was defined by surprises. While this year’s line-up lacked major Hollywood studio fare, the jury – led by American actress-director Maggie Gyllenhaal and including veteran Hong Kong filmmaker Johnnie To Kei-fung – still had plenty to chew over.

Umm Al Quwain: The Quiet UAE Destination Finding Its Moment

There are few places in the United Arab Emirates where the landscape still seems to belong to the birds, the fishermen and the tides. In Umm Al Quwain, the pace changes almost immediately. The towers recede, the roads become quieter and the coastline opens into a world of lagoons, mangroves and islands, where the Gulf seems less like a backdrop and more like the reason for being here. It is precisely this sense of escape that makes Umm Al Quwain increasingly intriguing — and at the 2026 World Travel Awards Middle East Gala Ceremony in Dubai, the emirate received an important vote of confidence when Flamingo Beach Hotel was named Umm Al Quwain’s Leading Hotel 2026.

Fujairah Steps Into the Spotlight: A New Chapter for the UAE’s Eastern Coast

There is a different rhythm to Fujairah. Beyond the glass towers and manicured avenues of the UAE’s better-known cities, the landscape rises dramatically into the Hajar Mountains, while the Gulf of Oman stretches out towards the horizon. It is a side of the Emirates that feels wilder, more elemental and, increasingly, rather irresistible. At last night’s World Travel Awards Middle East Gala Ceremony at One&Only One Za’abeel in Dubai, Fujairah received international recognition for precisely those qualities, collecting five emirate-level awards across its hotels, resorts and travel industry. The ceremony, held on 13 September, brought together the region’s leading tourism and hospitality names, with Fujairah emerging with a particularly compelling collection of victories.

Ajman’s New Chapter: The UAE’s Quiet Rising Star Takes Centre Stage

For years, Ajman was the emirate that many travellers passed through rather than travelled to. Smaller, quieter and considerably less showy than Dubai, it occupied a curious place in the UAE’s tourism story: close enough to the country’s major attractions to be convenient, yet sufficiently removed from the international spotlight to retain a character of its own. That perception is changing. At the World Travel Awards Middle East Gala Ceremony, held at One&Only One Za’abeel in Dubai on 13 September, Ajman was named Middle East’s Leading Emerging Tourism Destination 2026 — a prestigious regional accolade that places the emirate firmly among the destinations to watch.
