SUNDAY

Grease: Live 7 p.m., Fox

Fox has gotten very “Marcia Marcia Marcia” about NBC’s success with live musicals such as “The Wiz.” So on Sunday, the network will feature its own live theater with a production of “Grease” starring Julianne Hough as Sandy, Aaron Tveit as Danny, and Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo. Oh yeah, and Eve Plumb, Jan from “The Brady Bunch,” is on board, as Mrs. Murdock.

MONDAY

Recovery Road 9 p.m., Freeform

First, let me address the big question: What is Freeform? It’s the new name for ABC Family. It’s supposed to be a better name, I’m guessing. But to me, Freeform sounds like a lingerie style, or an exercise program. And what about “Recovery Road”? It’s a drama about a high school party girl named Maddie (Jessica Sula) who is forced to live in a recovery facility after she’s caught with vodka in her locker. Based on Blake Nelson’s 2011 young adult novel, it’s earnest, sweet, and soapy.

TUESDAY

Outsiders 9 p.m., WGN America

This basic cable network made its first foray into prestige drama with “Manhattan,” a story set during the creation of the first nuclear weapons. Now the network has a second big series. It’s about the violence-loving Farrell clan of the hills of Appalachia and their struggle with a coal company that wants to mine nearby. Among the stars: David Morse, Ryan Hurst, Phyllis Somerville, and Thomas M. Wright.

WEDNESDAY

American Crime 10 p.m., ABC

The tone of John Ridley’s anthology series can be heavy and heavy-handed, as it explores the intersection of victims, perpetrators, and the criminal justice system. It’s all a little too emotionally heated-up for me, lacking in the ordinary moments that can make the dramatic scenes more powerful. Big statements about class, race, and gender are at every corner, along with penetrating close-ups of the actors. In other words, “American Crime” is not very subtle. That said, the acting is
aces this season, with a story about a boy raped by male athletes at an elite private school.

THURSDAY

You, Me and the Apocalypse 8 p.m., NBC

A comet is heading toward Earth, and everyone is going to die in 34 days. Laughing yet? But this comedy, featuring entertaining work from Rob Lowe, Megan Mullally, and Jenna Fischer, is wacky, unique, and, at moments, effectively dramatic. It’s a goof on cultural fixation on Armageddon, a canny riff on Christian notions, and a look at what really matters in the long run.

FRIDAY


Truth and Power 10 p.m., Pivot

Nonfiction shows are having a burst of popularity with “The Jinx” and “Making a Murderer.” Now, Pivot is adding this 10-part series that monitors private institutions and the government for breaks in the public trust.

SATURDAY

Manson’s Lost Girls 8 p.m.,
Lifetime

This scripted movie tells the story of Linda Kasabian and the other women who were members of Charles Manson’s cult and accomplices in the “Helter Skelter” murder s.

Beloved by Gwyneth Paltrow, who wore a pink, one-sleeved number to the Oscars, Beyonce, who opted for the label on her Mrs Carter tour, and Angelina Jolie, who donned a pale blue suit to receive an honorary damehood from the Queen, it’s fair to say that Aussie design duo Ralph Russo are hot property.

But Tamara Ralph, originally from Sydney, and Michael Russo, from Brisbane, aren’t just celeb fodder – they’re also well-respected designers.

As the first British-based fashion house to be invited to the Paris couture shows in a century, the label has in nine years grown from a single sewing machine in a shoebox office to a base in a magnificent mid-19th-century mansion in London.

The couple now dress some 700 paying designer clients.

This change of status was in full evidence at their Paris Spring 2016 Haute Couture collection show this week, which featured the 27-year-old couture darling and Australian model, Alexandra Agoston.

The front row included both Uma Thurman (wearing a billowing black-sleeved Ralph Russo gown) and Rita Ora (who opted for a tight, gold lace option from the label).

The clothes were beautiful: Multi-storied, ruffled ball gowns, trains, peplum hems and floral, lingerie-style clothes dominated, in beautiful pastel shades and floaty, frothy feathers. 

The gown that got everyone in the audience talking, though, was the showstopper finale, as worn by Isabeli Fontana. An enormous, heavily-detailed wedding dress, it featured kimono sleeves and a three-metre-long train. The gown was designed for maximum impact and achieved it.

Always looking to mix things up and adopt new techniques, Ralph Russo recently also announced that shoes are now available on the website, while handbags will arrive later in the season. 

Rita Ora and Uma Thurman were the major celebrity guests at the show, where Thurman hinted at the fact that she might reprise one of her most famous roles in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill 3.

Meanwhile, fellow Australian and Sydney-dweller Astrid Holler also carved out a bit of a name for herself this week, walking in the Dice Kayek show at the Paris couture shows.
