The Devil Wears Prada 2 to Lenny Henry: your complete entertainment guide to the week ahead

The Guardian's weekly entertainment guide highlights two major art exhibitions opening in May 2025: 'Aleksandra Kasuba' at Tate St Ives (2 May to 4 October) and 'Zurbarán' at the National Gallery, London (2 May to 23 August). The Kasuba show is the first UK presentation of the Lithuanian American artist's proto-immersive 'spatial environments,' featuring early paintings, mosaics, and installations focused on utopian social harmony. The Zurbarán exhibition presents a blockbuster survey of the 17th-century Spanish Baroque master, known for his intense religious subjects and dramatic chiaroscuro.

The article traces the history of Cartier's animal jewelry, beginning with the iconic Panthère motif introduced in 1949 by creative director Jeanne Toussaint, and highlights other historic pieces such as the Flamingo brooch (1940) and the Celestun Necklace. It notes that Cartier's big cats became status symbols for glamorous women from Hollywood and society, who would request bespoke designs from the Rue de la Paix boutique.
