Sporting a light brown pin-striped suit and blue shades, the “Woman” rapper rolled up to the show looking like a whimsical, glamorous version of the Guy Fawkes mask in V For Vendetta. The look served as a follow-up to the striking all-red ensemble she stepped out in earlier this week at Schiaparelli’s show, which called for Doja’s skin to be covered with 30,000 red Swarovski crystals with the help of makeup artist Pat McGrath.
This Inferno-inspired look was actually the basis for Doja’s hairy follow-up, according to the Grammy winner. In an interview at the Viktor & Rolf show, she explained that fans had been upset that her red bejeweled face hadn’t included eyelashes, which gave her the idea to respond with falsies glued onto her upper lip, chin and eyebrows — basically, everywhere except where they’re actually designed to go.
“A few days ago, I did Schiaparelli, and people were saying that I didn’t have lashes, and that they were disappointed that I didn’t have on lashes,” Doja told Nylon. “So today I gave them lashes. I hope they’re happy. I just want to make people happy.”
In fact, before she stepped out at the Viktor & Rolf show, the “Kiss Me More” artist teased fans by writing on her Instagram Stories, “If lashes are what you all want, then lashes are what you’ll get. See you at Viktor and Rolf.” She wrapped up her message with a most appropriate emoji: the disguised face, which features similar exaggerated eyebrows and mustache.

The 41-year-old “Stars Are Blind” singer broke the news to her millions of followers by posting a photo to Instagram, a close-up of her son’s tiny hand holding on to her thumb. “You are already loved beyond words,” she captioned the post.
Hilton confirmed to People that her baby boy had arrived via surrogate, less than two months after she revealed to the same publication that she and Reum had started IVF treatment toward the beginning of the pandemic. The couple got married in November 2021.
“It’s always been my dream to be a mother and I’m so happy that Carter and I found each other,” Hilton told People. “We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy.”
The part-time DJ’s parenthood news comes a month after she took cues from Taylor Swift and dropped a re-recorded version of her 2006 hit single “Stars Are Blind,” which she dubbed “Stars Are Blind (Paris’ Version).” “This song has always meant so much to me, it felt right to close out 2022 with a refreshed version,” she wrote about the song on Instagram.
“Thank you to everyone who has always supported my music career,” she continued. “I literally have the best fans on the planet and have loved seeing all of your posts about the new song. P.S. More new music to come in the new year.”

Chrissy Teigen posted the first close-up look at her and John Legend‘s newborn daughter, Esti, on Tuesday (Jan. 24), and, as you might expect, it was freakin’ adorable. In the snap, baby Esti Maxine Stephens is sleeping with her eyes shut tight, with her right hand folded under her chin and left hand resting against the side of her head.
“Look at u out here lookin’ like a baby,” Teigen captioned the snap in which Esti lays in her arms, while husband Legend added, “My little Esti.” The couple recently welcomed Esti to their brood, joining daughter Luna Simone, 6 and son Miles Theodore, 4; in an earlier snap, the two older siblings took their turn holding the baby and staring at her face with sweet smiles.
Legend and Teigen’s famous friends couldn’t resist weighing in on the Insta-perfect moment, with Kaley Cuoco commenting, “Oh em gee what a beaut!!!!!,” Olivia Munn writing, “Welcome earthside little one” and Kris Jenner adding, “Soooo beautiful just like her mama.” They also got hearts, blessings and love from Jesse Tyler, Mandy Moore, Camila McConaughey, Gabrielle Union-Wade, Andy Cohen, Garcelle Beauvais and Jenna Dewan, among others.
Earlier this month, the couple shared the news of the baby’s birth, with Teigen announcing in an Instagram post, “The house is bustling and our family could not be happier 💕. Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a c section!? We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes – we feel it all! X”

Alyssa Scott is keeping her son’s memory alive as she enjoys spending time with her new daughter Halo, whom she welcomed with Nick Cannon in December — almost exactly a year after the couple’s first child, Zen, died from brain cancer when he was just five months old. On Monday (Jan. 23), the model posted some adorable photos of her six-week-old baby girl enjoying some fresh air and sunshine, adding that she already sees similarities between her two children.
“Hi sweet girl,” Scott wrote on Instagram Stories, sharing four snaps of little Halo modeling a green headband. “Definitely Zen’s little sis 🤍✨.”
The 29-year-old influencer also posted a couple videos from her day spent with Halo outside, where they sat together in the grass and enjoyed “listening to the birds & getting some fresh air.”
“Happy mama happy halo,” Scott wrote.
Halo Marie Cannon was born on Dec. 14, two months after Scott confirmed she was pregnant with her third child and second baby with Nick. Posting a series of maternity photos featuring The Masked Singer host in October, the model wrote on Instagram, “This is a MIRACLE & a BLESSING.”
Their new addition to the family arrived within days of the one-year anniversary of baby Zen’s death. Cannon initially announced the devastating news of his son’s passing on The Nick Cannon Show, telling viewers, “[God] puts the most and heaviest weight on the shoulders of his strongest soldiers, so I’m here to show that I can fight through this.”
Though Halo is the Drumline actor’s second child with Scott, Cannon is Dad to 12 children overall. He shares twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey, and twins Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa — who welcomed her third baby with Cannon, Beautiful Zeppelin, less than two months prior to Halo’s birth.
He also shares Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell; Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; and Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole.
With more representation than ever, stars from the K-pop world took over the City of Light for Paris Fashion Week with multiple head-turning moments made just from the first week of menswear shows for the Fall/Winter 2023 season.
One of the earlier shows this year, Saint Laurent on Jan. 17, 2023, had a double dose of boy-band power as SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan and TEN of NCT and WayV made their Fashion Week debuts, seated alongside Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, Billboard Hot 100 hitmakers Conan Gray and Steve Lacy, as well as Korean singer-songwriter (and BLACKPINK collaborator) LØREN.
The Jan. 20 Dior Homme show was graced not only by the fashion house’s new global brand ambassador Jimin, but his bandmate J-Hope, who sat front row with the likes of Naomi Campbell and J Balvin. Afterward, Jimin told fans via Weverse that he was less nervous and could immerse himself at his first fashion show because of J-Hope’s presence. Undoubtedly, the Jack in the Box rapper brought comfort and confidence after taking over PFW, strutting through several menswear shows throughout the week, including Louis Vuitton and Hermes shows during his first Fashion Week.
Another star making multiple stops through Paris was BM of KARD. After previously walking a Milan Fashion Week, the Korean-American rapper (aka Big Matthew) is no stranger to the fashion world and attended shows for Loewe, Kenzo and Sacai during his return to Paris Fashion Week.
That’s just the start of the K-pop star power making appearances for the menswear half for the Fall/Winter 2023 season for Paris Fashion Week. See below for all the stylish looks from members of BTS, SEVENTEEN, NCT, KARD, BIGBANG, GOT7, SF9 and more.
Selena Gomez was spotted holding hands with Drew Taggart over the weekend, and fans flocked to social media to express their collective dismay — particularly considering the pop star had shot down rumors just days earlier that she was dating one-half of The Chainsmokers.
“She said I’m single, I’m shocked” one follower commented on the news using a distressed face emoji, while another tweeted, “Whaaaat friends ?? They holding hands.” A third had a theory about the viral paparazzi pic, writing, “Is she doing this to get people talking because she’s about to drop music?”
Some aren’t convinced the two are actually dating. “They are FRIENDS,” on Twitter user insisted.
Either way, many Selenators didn’t seem all that pleased with the prospective pairing. One fan tweeted, “Girl nobody knew him that well until this photo … “
Whether or not Gomez and Taggart are officially an item, the “Lose You to Love Me” singer reportedly squashed speculation via a briefly posted Instagram Story last week. “I LIKE BEING ALONE TOO MUCH #iamsingle,” she wrote before quickly deleting the statement.
Selena and the DJ first made headlines earlier this month when the duo went bowling together at The Gutter in New York City. The outing just so happened to come fresh on the heels of Taggart and his bandmate Alex Pall revealing they’ve had multiple threesomes together with fans during a TMI-filled appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
Check out more reactions to Gomez hand-in-hand with Taggart below.
She said I’m single , I’m shocked 😳

Doja Cat turned heads when she arrived at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Spring Summer 2023 show for Paris Fashion Week on Monday (Jan. 23) covered head to toe in red jewels and makeup.
“Doja Cat Couture @dojacat in 30 000 @swarovski crystals applied by hand at the @schiaparelli Haute Couture SS23 show held at Petit Palais in Paris,” the fashion house shared in an Instagram post, detailing that the rapper’s stunning ensemble was also comprised of a “red silk faille bustier,” “hand-knit skirt of lacquered wooden beads” and “Trompe l’œil toe boots.”
Makeup artist Pat McGrath offered an even closer look at Doja’s glittering visage, which she revealed took four hours and 58 minutes to create. “The final product was a magical, mesmerising masterpiece of sparkling brilliance,” McGrath wrote, thanking the Grammy winner for her “sublime patience” during the process.
The fashion show featured the likes of Naomi Campbell, Shalom Harlow and Irina Shayk strutting down the runway in haute couture gowns embroidered with giant animal heads in a nod to Dante’s Inferno. Kylie Jenner was also seated front row during the presentation with a giant lion’s head attached to her black dress. (All of Schiaparelli’s posts ensured “NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN MAKING” any of the looks.)
Recently, Doja nabbed five nominations at the upcoming 2023 Grammy Awards — including record of the year for “Woman” — as well as five more for this year’s iHeartRadio Awards. Interestingly, should her song beat out the crowded field for record of the year, it would become the shortest track to take home the trophy in more than half a century.
Get a closer look at Doja’s jaw-dropping Schiaparelli look and all the work that went into creating it below.
During the memorial service for Lisa Marie Presley at Graceland over the weekend, Riley Keough’s husband revealed that Presley had become a first-time grandmother last year. According to People magazine, Ben Smith-Petersen — who is married to Presley’s eldest child, 33-year-old actress Keough — revealed during the ceremony at Elvis’ Memphis estate Graceland for the first time in public that the couple are parents.
“I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters. Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity,” Smith-Petersen said while reading a tribute to Presley on behalf of Keough, who was seated in the front row. “I’m a product of your heart, my sisters are a product of your heart, my brother is a product of your heart.”
The magazine reported that Smith-Peteresen did not give any further details on when the couple’s daughter was born or her name; People said a rep for Keough confirmed the couple’s baby girl was born in 2022.
Lisa Marie Presley died on Jan. 12 at age 54 after being rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after suffering from a possible cardiac arrest. She was also honored at the public memorial service on Sunday by reclusive Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose, who shared some heartfelt words about his good friend before playing a solo version of the GNR classic “November Rain.”
“With Lisa’s passing, I knew if I was invited I needed to come to these ceremonies,” Rose began his emotional statement, reading from a cell phone. “I hadn’t planned on speaking, and when I was put on the spot, I really didn’t know what to say. I was tongue-tied and nervous, and I didn’t really know what I said. But I, as I’m sure many of you, are still in shock, as I feel I will continue to be for quite some time. I never in a million years imagined being here, singing under these circumstances.”
In addition to Rose, the memorial service also included musical tributes from Billy Corgan, who performed an acoustic rendition of the Smashing Pumpkins song “To Sheila,” and Alanis Morissette, who sang her 2017 song about mental health “Rest.” Other speakers included Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla Presley; Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York; music industry veteran Jerry Schilling; and Smith-Petersen; among others.

Dubbed Park Trail, the new line of performance-wear clothing was highlighted by the colors orange, army green, deep purple and cream. Park Trail was inspired by the resilience of the outdoors, the spirit of the streets and the possibilities of the future.
Models showed off the new collection at Nobu by the Beach — one of eight new celebrity restaurants at the Atlantis Royal, where Beyoncé performed Saturday night to help launch the new luxury hotel. At the pool and beach club models mingled, danced and sported various pieces from the collection, including camo sequin jackets, puffy orange coats, military-style blazers in army green and cream, hoodies, sweatsuits, jersey dresses and more.
Beyoncé wasn’t onsite at the event, but her music was. The superstar’s creative director, Andrew Makadsi, deejayed and spun several songs from her recent album Renaissance, including “Break My Soul,” “Cuff It,” “Cozy” and “Heated.” He also played Janet Jackson’s “What Have You Done for Me Lately” and Madonna’s “Vogue” while guests sipped on signature cocktails and snacked on Japanese-Peruvian bites.
Park Trail will debut in Adidas stores and online on Feb. 9. The collection includes 56 apparel styles, from sizes XXXS to XXXXL, as well as three footwear styles and 12 accessories, including fully convertible backpacks, bags and hats. Prices range from $30 to $600 in the U.S.
