The biggest stories from the weekend - and what to say about them

Time to take your tartan off now, with the close of New York's Met Museum exhibition on punk, following its roots in the musical scene to its capacity for fashion inspiration. Opinion was divided upon its opening in May, with Suzy Menkes commenting that in now way had the show lived up to the spirit of the movement itself. (She also added she had been too busy raising her children to have taken part in it at the time.) Writer Hermione Hoby previewed the show for Never Underdressed, and described it as 'thrilling'.

But, at its close, it proved to be one of the museum's most successful exhibitions to date, pulling in almost 450,000 visitors. That makes it the fifth most popular show in the past 25 years of the Met's fashion exhibitions - which were at one time curated and lovingly created by the formidable Diana Vreeland. Still, who can be surprised that a spirit that made a name for itself by being divisive could prove such a turn up for the visitor books?

It can't have hurt either, that the outfits at the Met Gala held in May to celebrate the opening of the exhibition came in for a lot of speculation, when celebs such as Elizabeth Olsen and Sienna Miller, took the punk directive into their own sartorial hands. Click here to see our vast gallery of looks from the night - and don't worry, the British talent for creativity maintains a global presence with the launch yesterday of a new campaign for M&S, shot by Annie Liebovitz and featuring the likes of Grace Coddington, Tracey Emin and Helen Mirren.

Mary, Queen of the Box Office: With the final instalment last night of the BBC's White Queen, you (I) might be feeling the loss of a bodice-ripping presence in your life. Thankfully, The Guardian reports that the new historical heroine set to become everybody's favourite fashion icon and Tudor totty is Mary, Queen of Scots - who will be the focus of no fewer than three films in the coming year. The first of which stars Camille Rutherford (above) in the lead role, and is set to scoop awards at the Toronto film festival next month. So don't throw out your doublet and hose just yet, gents.
