Trending on Billboard NBC’s new Wicked: One Wonderful Night special was a celebration of the music and magic of Jon M.

If you have questions about the unique spelling of sombr‘s stage name, this week’s Saturday Night Live promos are for you.
The pop singer/songwriter is joined by host Nikki Glaser and cast member Chloe Fineman in the new promos, in which Fineman says, “sombr — it’s such a cool name.” “It is!” Glaser agrees. “It’s like if i called myself ‘Glasr.’”
“What?” sombr replies. “You know, because it’s usually spelled S-O-M-B-E-R — you took the E out,” Glaser explains.
“It is? I’ve been spelling it wrong this whole time and NOBODY TOLD ME?” the pop star explodes, even letting out a primal scream off camera.
This has Glaser giving him a brand-new name: “More like ‘angr.’”
Elsewhere in the promos, Fineman asks, “I’ve always wanted to know: Where does the name sombr come from?” The artist born Shane Michael Boose then says, “Well, my initials are S.M.B.”
“Ohhh!” Glaser says, adding, “My initials are N.R.G. — like energy.” When she turns to Fineman to ask, “What are yours?,” the comedian simply responds, “Cherf” — her creative interpretation of C.R.F., for Chloe Rose Fineman.
Both Glaser and sombr are making their Saturday Night Live debuts this weekend – Glaser as host and sombr as musical guest.
sombr is having a breakout year, with his debut album, I Barely Know Her, arriving in August. The project spun off his first trio of Billboard Hot 100 appearances: the top 20 hits “Back to Friends” (No. 12) and “Undressed” (No. 16), as well as the No. 41-peaking “12 to 12.”
Glaser is set to return as the host of the Golden Globes when the awards show is presented on Jan. 11.
Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and streams on Peacock. (See all the options to watch SNL here.)

The collection includes decorative hoodies, tees and updated Speedcat styles all imbued with the spirit of Wicked magic.
If you’re looking to get into the spirit ahead of the new movie, or just a great gift for Wicked-obsessed fans, friends and family members for the holiday season, well, you’re in the right place. We’ll be breaking down a few of our favorites from the collaboration, covering everything from pricing and material to styling. Keep reading to shop Puma’s new Wicked collection.

Puma x ‘Wicked’ Speedcat Goodness
A Glinda-themed Speedcat sneaker.
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Speedcat Elphie
A Elphaba-themed Speedcat sneaker.
The Speedcat is a Puma silhouette rooted in athleticism. Initially created for Formula 1 drivers, the silhouette is aerodynamic and flexible, a performance style that was made exceedingly wearable via this collaboration. The two traditional Speedcat silhouettes, both retailing for $110, now have designs inspired by Elphaba and Glinda.
The Glinda-inspired silhouette called Goodness is a dreamy lilac hue accompanied by truly whimsical touches like sheer ribbon trim and bubble embroidery, making the shoe look just as light and airy as it feels on the foot. The speedy striping on the side of this style is an iridescent hue, reminiscent of the look of the bubbles Glinda floats in. On the flipside, you’ve got the Elphaba style, aptly called Elphie, which is a moody black with emerald green accents. The uppers feature a floral-esque crushed velvet fabric, imparting textural interest.
The Speedcat is insanely comfortable and casual thanks to the low-profile design, meaning you can style it in a myriad of ways. The themed design also makes both silhouettes a stand-out. Plus, for a collaborative piece, the price tag is not bad, considering regular Puma Speedcat styles are usually around the same price. Great for holiday gift-giving, either or style is a must-have, especially for the major Wicked fan in your life.
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Speedcat Ballet Silver Slippers
A Wicked-themed Speedcat ballet flat.
Another Speedcat model, but this time in ballet flat form. It’s the Speedcat Ballet Silver Slippers, paying homage to Dorothy Gale’s footwear in The Wizard of Oz, which, if you didn’t know by now, was originally silver, not ruby red. Retailing for $90, this style comes in sizes for women and kids and features metallic outsoles, sparkling straps and textured embroidery throughout.
This style sort of reminds us of the Tin Man, what with all the silver. Metallic footwear is becoming exceedingly popular, especially as we get into the colder months. Ballet flats have also gotten extremely popular, especially as people are shifting away from heeled items for something way more comfortable. We can see this shoe translating well to outfits at the office or a casual trip to grab coffee. Why not get ahead of the trend and snag these today?
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Women’s Goodness Hoodie
A Wicked-themed hoodie for women.
The women’s Goodness hoodie is a hero piece from the collection. What we mean by that is it’s one of the more eye-catching styles and one we think people will be snatching up left and right. Retailing for $100, this hoodie comes in sizes XS to XL and features that same lilac hue seen on Glinda’s Speedcat sneakers.
The piece is cropped and affixed with baggy arms that are equipped with a delicate ballet-inspired lace-up design that we just know Glinda would love. The front and back of the hoodie are affixed with Puma x Wicked co-branding, including a striking crown design. The sleeves have subtle butterfly detailing, a common Glinda motif. As we get into the colder seasons, this hoodie is sure to come in handy. While it is cropped, the boxy composition makes it super cozy. The hoodie is also made of a fleece material that helps keep the cold at bay, so you’ll be looking cute and warm all winter long.
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Oz Tee
A Wicked-themed t-shirt.
Puma knows how to make a great graphic tee, and this Oz tee is no exception. Retailing for $50, the shirt currently comes in sizes XS to XXL. The piece is slightly boxy and made of soft, easy to wash and breathable cotton fabric, great if you get hot easily (no shame). The front of the tee features Puma x Wicked graphics with pops of pink and green throughout.
Above the graphic, flying monkeys hover, looking as if they’re guarding the graphic from harms way. To give it a lived-in look, the tee includes a washed design, mimicking the look of the well-loved tees you might find at a vintage store. All in all, this is a classic silhouette with subtle nods to the film. Styled with your favorite denim and a bomber jacket overtop, you’ll be ready to sit in theaters before long. If you’re in the market for a new t-shirt and you don’t want to spend tons on a perfectly distressed style, this tee is for you.
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Oz Fleece Hoodie
A Wicked-themed hoodie.
Finally, we have the Oz Fleece Hoodie, another ultra-cozy piece retailing for $100. Current sizing runs from XXS to XXL. As mentioned, this hoodie is made of a cozy fleece material that insulates the wearer, especially if you get damp from the snow or rain we’re bound to have in the thick of fall. While this hoodie is marketed for men, it can easily be unisex, much like the other items in this collection. The style is an emerald green, a nod to the Emerald City, with pink accents.
The front of the hoodie reads, “The Wizard sees everything,” a slightly ominous Oz-inspired graphic that we can’t help but fangirl over. Like the t-shirt before it, this hoodie also has a distressed wash, giving it that lived-in look without all the effort. This hoodie is another great option if you haven’t prepped your closet for the colder months yet. It’ll certainly keep you warm and stylish too. The colorway also screams Wicked, perfect for your next watch party or theater experience.
Following the box office success that was Wicked in 2024, Wicked: For Good hits theaters on Friday, Nov. 21, just one day shy of the one-year anniversary of the film’s first half. The sequel was first announced on X in April by director Jon M. Chu’s “OzPhone.” The filmmaker wrote at the time, “With more space, we can tell the story of Wicked as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth and surprise to the journeys of these beloved characters.”

Following the smash success that the film Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc experienced, Jins Eyewear has dropped a collection of Chainsaw Man eyewear that anime fans won’t want to miss out on.

The eyewear collection includes five frames retailing for $190, all inspired by characters from the ever-popular anime and manga series, including Makima, Aki, Power and Denji. There’s even a Reze model, inspired by the new film and the character, otherwise known as Bomb Girl.
Additionally, each piece comes nestled in an ultra-cute Chainsaw Man-themed case with a starter-cord design, mirroring the one Denji has to pull to activate his powers, along with a cleaning cloth featuring Denji’s beloved sidekick Pochita. If you or a loved one is a fan of anime, especially Chainsaw Man, we’d highly suggest you snag this collection. It makes the perfect gift for the fashionable anime fan in your life, or for yourself.
Worldwide, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc made $141,161,147, with a breakdown of $108,200,000 internationally and $32,961,147 domestic, according to Box Office Mojo. These are impressive numbers, but here at ShopBillboard, we’re all about the music. The anime’s opening theme, titled “Kick Back” by Japanese musician Kenshi Yonezu, peaked at No. 3 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales. On Billboard Japan‘s Hot 100 charts, the track peaked at No. 1. Yonezu has three top 10 hits on Billboard‘s charts. Yonezu’s track was released digitally back in 2022, along with three physical releases.
Below we’ve highlighted the eyewear collection that you can shop online right now at Jins.com.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Chainsaw Man Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
This model is inspired by the Chainsaw Man himself, Denji. The silhouette features a thin, bold bridge design modeled after Denji’s razor-sharp teeth, while the temples are accented with the starter rope motif. The inner temple tips are engraved with chainsaw blades, while the end pieces showcase Chainsaw Man’s distinctive “eyes.” The silhouette, like all the rest, aptly depicts the essence of Denji and his demon form. This is one of the more playful models in the collection, a standout for sure if you’re looking for something more stylistic.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Makima Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
Makima is a polarizing character — however, we’re sure these glasses are a hit. The Makima-inspired model comes in black with thick frames and rounded lenses, accompanied by subtle details hinting at the character’s striking yet haunting eyes. These are one of the plainer models in the collection, but one we can see people gravitating toward because of the subtle Makima-inspired design elements.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Power Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
These Power-inspired frames are a favorite of ours. The model captures Power’s playful and utterly unserious disposition with nods to the character’s most iconic features, like her horns seen on the bridge design. You also get subtle cracked details, a callback to the mighty hammer she wields. The temple ends feature a charming design of Meowy, Power’s beloved cat, adding a touch of mischief to the look. The horn-esque detailing on the bridge is unlike anything we’ve seen from eyewear before, making it a must-have if you’re looking for more interesting frames. Unlike all of the models in this collection, this style has silver frames instead of black, another reason these Power frames are the most unique of the bunch.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Aki Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
Maybe we’re a bit biased, but these Aki frames are pretty epic. This is another plain style, much like the Makima ones, fixed with subtle details that nod to the character. The gray demi pattern evokes smoke from a cigarette, a favorite of Aki’s. Subtle motifs of his sword and the Future Devil, a demon Aki made a contract with, complete the look. The frames are less bulky than the other offerings in this collection. If you’re looking for a subdued silhouette with subtle nods to the anime, then this model should be in your shopping cart.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Reze Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
One of the most interesting models in the collection is the Reze model, named after the anime film’s arc centered around Bomb Girl. These are half frames adorned with a delicate flower motif accompanied by a subtle detail at the neckline reflecting Reze’s iconic grenade pin. While Reze is a lesser-known character, this design makes us want to know more. The unique frames are unlike anything we’ve seen before, a stylish offering for those anime fan trend setters.
Chainsaw Man centers around the main character Denji, a young man down on his luck who works as a Devil Hunter for the yakuza, trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents. Everything is going surprisingly well until the yakuza betrays him and has him killed.
On the verge of death, Denji’s beloved chainsaw-powered devil-dog Pochita made a deal with Denji and saved his life. This fused the two together, creating the unstoppable Chainsaw Man. The film takes place directly after the events of Chainsaw Man season one in what is called the Reze arc, also known as the Bomb Girl arc. It covers chapters 40 to 52 in the manga.

One of hip-hop’s greats was just immortalized on Levi’s most iconic silhouettes.
Levi’s latest collection aims at celebrating Nas, the Brooklyn native who took the rap game by storm with Billboard chart-topping hits such as “I’m Gonna Be Alright” and “Hot Boyz.” Nas has 17 Grammy nominations and one win to date, and was ranked as No. 3 on Billboard‘s 10 Best Rappers of All Time list.
The “N.Y. State of Mind” rapper even has his own record label, Mass Appeal Records. It’s safe to say that Nas’ career is one worth celebrating, and it seems Levi’s agrees. The aforementioned Nas collection features three pieces, two tees and one crewneck, all available now on Levi’s website.

Nas Band Tee

Nas Band Tee
A white band tee with Nas’ Illmatic on the front.
First up on our list are the two band tees in the collection, both paying homage to two of Nas’ most popular albums, 1994’s Illmatic and 2001’s Stillmatic. Both tees retail for $40 and come in sizes XS to XXL. The Illmatic style is white with the album art in the center, while the Stillmatic tee is black, also with the album art smack dab in the center.
Both designs feature the album names in decorative script on the hem of the sleeves. Both tees also have a relaxed fit with a crewneckline and are made of breathable 100% cotton. The relaxed, boxy fit elevates the tee, giving it a more stylish finish than your regular tee.
These are tees that would look even better with age, getting worn and grungy, as all band tees should be. Both album graphics are very distinctive and memorable, lending the tees visual interest. We’d style both of these shirts with classic Levi’s denim and a coordinating denim jacket overtop. A graphic band tee is a must-have for many because you can just throw it on and it instantly elevates any look.
Nas Crewneck
A Nas gray long sleeve crewneck.
This Nas Crewneck for $50 is the definition of comfort. The long sleeve style comes in a muted gray with Nas’ logo on the front in white and the words “One Life One Love One King” scrawled on the back, lyrics from Nas’ 1996 track “The Message,” yet another hit.
The long sleeve also features a relaxed fit and comes in unisex sizes XS to XXL. This is a must-have piece for us, especially as we get into the colder months. It’s cozy and versatile, given you can style it a many different ways. Great for layering and easy to clean, this one is No. 1 on our list for the holiday season, especially if you’re a die-hard Nas fan.
“Nas represents the authentic spirit of hip-hop culture that has always been intertwined with Levi’s brand,” said vp of collaborations at Levi’s, Leo Gamboa, in a statement. “Featuring crisp tees that celebrate some of his most beloved albums, this collection honors that connection between music, style and cultural expression that defines both Nas and Levi’s.”

After being named Ray-Ban’s first-ever creative director in early 2025, A$AP Rocky has released his big one titled the Wayfarer Puffer Crystal Collection.
When Rocky isn’t busy cooking up beats for his unreleased album, Don’t Be Dumb, or turning looks with his boo, Rihanna, the creative is putting in work creating frames like Ray-Ban customers have never seen before. The “Fashion Killa” rapper’s three-piece collection consists of all upgraded Wayfarer styles, a staple silhouette for Ray-Ban.

The result is crystalized creations including the Crystal for $292, Crystal Pavé for $701 and the ultra boujee Diamond for $6,721.00. The collection captures A$AP Rocky’s signature aesthetic and Ray-Ban’s craftsmanship at its peak. Every style can be shopped on Ray-Ban’s website now.
Ray-Ban Wayfarer Puffer Crystal Pavé Edition in Blue
Blue crystalized sunglasses.
Ray-Ban Wayfarer Puffer Crystal Edition
Black sunglasses with crystalized logos.
Instead of the thin frame the Wayfarer is well known for, these Rocky models have been exaggerated, made blocky with sculptural curves and high-octane finishes, hence the “puffer” title. It’s safe to say that these are statement-makers, meant for those who aren’t afraid to draw attention. The Crystal Pavé edition is the first on our radar, retailing for $701.
The Polished Blue silhouette is one of our favorites. It’s covered in high-shine pavé crystals and finished with gold detailing that makes the silhouette pop. The frames sit high on the bridge of the nose, eclipsing a standard amount of the wearer’s face. If you’re in the market for bold eyewear with detailing you won’t find anywhere else, the Crystal Pavé is your best bet.
The Crystal is a more subdued silhouette, but still boasts a ton of dazzling qualities. Retailing for $292, one of the more affordable options, the style comes in black with a crystal temple logo and silver accents, the direct opposite of the Pavé model. The shine is subdued but still pops against the all-black background.
Once again, you’ve got a blockier frame that is much more fashion-forward than the regular slim Wayfarer. Being that this is the most affordable option of the bunch, it still manages to steal the show. The puffy frames are a game-changer, one we haven’t seen from any other brand before.
Ray-Ban Wayfarer Puffer Diamond Edition
Black sunglasses with diamonds and 14k gold finishings.
There’s nothing sexier than black sunglasses, unless, of course, they’re encrusted with diamonds. Finally, we have the Diamond edition, which retails for $6,721. Don’t let the subdued silhouette fool you. These sunglasses are absolutely dripping in gold and diamonds, hence the price tag. The glasses are affixed with hand-set diamonds and 14k gold finishings that contrast the black frames nicely. This is an investment piece for sure, but one we’d recommend getting if you want your black sunglasses to have a little more oomph to them than your standard style.
The price tag is hefty, heavily due to the materials used and attention to detail. These are sunglasses that, if treated with care, will last you a lifetime. Don’t just take our word for it. With Rocky’s stamp of approval to back it, this collection must be a banger.
Beyond being an accomplished musician and Billboard chart regular, Rocky has made a name for himself in the fashion landscape. It’s no wonder Ray-Ban bestowed him with a creative director title. The star’s first collection with the brand was titled Blacked Out Collection, a sort of test drive of his new role, which included oversized silhouettes, gold accents and ultra-dark lenses.
