Hunter Schafer Stuns in Orlando Costume at Vogue World 2025 Runway Show Hunter Schafer made a striking statement on the runway at Vogue World 2025, donning an original costume from the 1992 film Orlando, designed by Oscar-winning costume designer Sandy Powell. The Euphoria star’s appearance at the event, held on October 26, 2025, at Paramount Studios, became one of the most talked-about moments of the iconic fashion showcase. The costume, an original piece from Sally Potter’s groundbreaking adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel, was a bold homage to cinematic history and queer cinema. The Orlando costume, crafted by Powell, is a landmark in fashion and film history. The film, which spans centuries and challenges traditional gender norms, featured Tilda Swinton in a role that redefined Hollywood’s approach to androgyny. Powell’s design work earned critical acclaim, including BAFTA recognition, and the costume itself became a symbol of artistic innovation. Schafer’s choice to wear the actual original garment elevated the moment, blending reverence for cinema with contemporary fashion. The event, titled Vogue World: Hollywood, transformed Paramount Studios into a one-night celebration of film and fashion. It featured a curated mix of original film costumes and modern designer collections, with stars like Nicole Kidman, Dakota Johnson, and Gwyneth Paltrow walking the runway. The show also included performances by Gracie Abrams and Doja Cat, and was livestreamed globally for wider audiences. Among the highlights was the pairing of Schafer’s Orlando costume with Alex Consani’s Valentino interpretation of Powell’s designs, creating a dialogue between past and present. Sandy Powell’s legacy as a costume designer was central to the event’s theme.#orlando #hunter_schafer #sandy_powell #vogue_world_2025 #paramount_studios
NFL Owners Unanimously Approve Camping World Stadium as Temporary Home for Jaguars in 2027 The Jacksonville Jaguars will temporarily relocate most of their 2027 home games to Orlando, Florida, after NFL owners approved the plan during their annual meeting in Phoenix. The decision, which was expected for months, allows the team to play 10 home games in the city during the final stages of a $1.4 billion stadium renovation in Jacksonville. The Jaguars will also host a preseason exhibition in Orlando, with up to three additional games in London, where they will continue their international schedule amid ongoing construction at EverBank Stadium. The move was finalized after NFL owners voted unanimously to grant the Jaguars temporary use of Camping World Stadium, a venue undergoing a $400 million facelift. Orlando officials had previously approved a $10 million sports-incentive package to secure the deal, which positions the city as a potential long-term NFL market. The aging stadium, which has hosted NFL games for decades, will be modernized to meet the league’s standards, including improved seating, technology, and infrastructure. The Jaguars had explored several alternatives for their temporary home, including Daytona International Speedway and Florida Field in Gainesville, but Camping World remained the top choice. General Manager James Gladstone emphasized the opportunity to expand the team’s reach, stating, “You have a chance to breach a region of the state that you otherwise wouldn’t have the luxury of doing.” The decision also aligns with the team’s broader strategy to grow its fan base, as Orlando is the largest U.S. media market without an NFL team. The Jaguars’ 2027 schedule will include seven to eight NFL games in Orlando, featuring in-state matchups against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins.#nfl #orlando #jaguars #camping_world_stadium #everbank_stadium
Arnold Palmer Invitational Seeks to Expand Field, Honor Legacy of Tournament Founder Sam Saunders, vice president of partnerships for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, emphasized the tournament’s goal of fostering a competitive environment that reflects the vision of its namesake, golf legend Arnold Palmer. Speaking at Bay Hill Club in Orlando, Saunders highlighted the importance of inclusivity in the event, which he described as a tribute to his grandfather’s legacy. “My grandfather loved to see as many players as possible compete here,” Saunders said. “He wanted the tournament to be a place where the best golfers could showcase their skills, and the champion would feel that victory truly mattered.” The Arnold Palmer Invitational, a signature event on the PGA Tour, has seen its field shrink over the years. Originally featuring 120 players in its early days, the tournament now hosts 72 competitors, a number that has drawn criticism from some within the golf community. Saunders, a former PGA Tour player, acknowledged the challenge of selecting the top talent while recognizing the depth of the sport. “There are so many great players who don’t get to compete here,” he said. “But I understand the tour has evolved, and we’re focused on supporting the event while adapting to the times.” The tournament’s structure also sets it apart from other signature events. Unlike the Genesis Invitational and the Memorial Tournament, which include a cut to the low 50 and ties, the Arnold Palmer Invitational allows players within 10 shots of the 36-hole leader to advance. This format, part of the $20 million signature events introduced by the PGA Tour four years ago, aims to balance competition with accessibility. However, Saunders noted that the current field size may not fully capture the breadth of talent in modern golf.#arnold_palmer_invitational #pga_tour #sam_saunders #bay_hill_club #orlando
