BTS’ Jin is embarking on a beauty journey with one of the top brands in the industry. Weeks after announcing a partnership with Gucci, the 31-year-old recording artist has officially been named Laneige’s first-ever male brand ambassador, the Korean beauty brand revealed Monday (Sept. 30).
As part of the new partnership, Jin stars in the latest campaign for Laneige’s bestselling Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer. The milky moisturizer and toner, which starts at $16, features ceramide and peptides for nourishing and strengthening the skin barrier and white leaf tea water to sooth and hydrate thus promoting radiant-looking, moisturized skin. Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer is available at various retailers such as Sephora, Amazon, Sephora at Kohl‘s and Laneige.com.

“I am truly delighted to become a brand ambassador for a brand that is loved by so many people around the world. I am thrilled to start my beauty journey with Laneige, and eager to share what we have in store,” Jin said in a statement, per Women’s Wear Daily.
The company shared Jin’s new campaign via Instagram on Monday with the caption, “When two icons come together.”
Jin has been busy since completing his military service in June. Last week, he attended Gucci’s spring/summer 2025 women’s fashion show at Triennale, Milano in Italy, marking his first time attending a fashion show in the city as a Gucci Global Brand Ambassador.
Laneige has been teasing the Jin reveal on Instagram for the last several days, dropping hints and behind-the-scenes clips of the campaign, including a shot of the back of his head. Naturally, the BTS Army was quick to identify Jin as the newest ambassador for Laneige. Sydney Sweeney became Laneige’s first global ambassador in 2022 and expanded the partnership earlier this year.
The top-selling makeup and skincare brand is known for viral products such as the Lip Sleeping Mask, Divine Lip Duo and Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream.

Nobody does denim like Beyoncé. The superstar hits the laundromat in a pair of skintight Levi’s 501 jeans for the brand’s “Reiimagine” campaign released on Monday (Sept. 30).
Inspired by “the legacy of Levi’s,” the campaign reimagines the classic 501 jeans as told in a “series of chapters” starring Beyoncé.
“My song ‘Levii’s Jeans’ celebrates what I believe is the ultimate Americana uniform — something we all wear with pride,” Beyoncé said in a statement. “I am honored to work with Levi’s to create quintessential American iconography. Denim-on-denim has often been seen through a male lens, so this reimagining campaign, which celebrates the iconic female perspective, is important to me. I look forward to exploring innovative ways for our visions to align in empowering women and honoring their strength.”
Trending on Billboard
The first chapter, titled “Launderette,” is inspired by a 1985 Levi’s ad. In the commercial, Bey walks into a laundromat wearing ‘90s Women’s 501 Jeans ($98), an essentials Sport T-shirt and a denim cowboy hat. She opens the washing machine, throws in some diamonds — instead of laundry detergent, because she’s a glamorous girlie — before pulling off her jeans (revealing Levi’s undies) and throwing them in the washer. And of course, her Cowboy Carter track “Levii’s Jeans” plays throughout the commercial.
Emmy-winning cinematographer Marcell Rév brought the visual to life, while Levi’s commissioned photographer Mason Poole for the campaign imagery.
Beyoncé’s Levi’s campaign will expand across television, out-of-home advertising, digital, social media, print and brand activations in addition to exclusive products. To kick off the campaign, digital projections launched in San Francisco, Houston, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Paris, London and Berlin on Monday.
“In collaboration with Beyoncé, we explore the power of reimagination through this campaign, helping us to connect with our fans in new ways and supporting the growth of our women’s business as the definitive denim lifestyle brand,” said Levi’s.

Ariana Grande is sticking up for Ethan Slater in the face of ongoing speculation about the two Wicked costars’ romance.
While speaking to Vanity Fair for a joint cover story with fellow Wicked leading lady Cynthia Erivo published Monday (Sept. 30), the 31-year-old pop star spoke openly about her boyfriend and the allegations surrounding their love story for the first time. “I went through a lot of life changes during the filming of this movie,” began Grande, who separated from ex-husband Dalton Gomez during shooting in February 2023 before filing for divorce that September. “A lot of people that were working on it did. We were away for two years.”
“The most disappointing part was to see so many people believe the worst version of it,” she continued of gossip surrounding her relationship with Slater, who split from his ex-wife Lilly Jay — with whom he shares a young son, finalizing their divorce just weeks ago — shortly before news of his and Grande’s romance came to light in July 2023. “That was definitely a tough ride.”
In the year since everything unfolded, some have speculated that the two stars began seeing each other while still with their former partners, despite multiple reports that both Grande and Slater’s past relationships had ended before they got involved. Others bought into rumors that the Spamalot actor walked out on Jay and their son, of which the “Thank U, Next” singer told the publication, “there couldn’t be a less accurate depiction of a human being.”
Trending on Billboard
“No one on this earth tries harder or spreads themselves thinner to be there for the people that he loves and cares about,” Grande continued of her partner. “There is no one on this Earth with a better heart, and that is something that no bulls–t tabloid can rewrite in real life.”
Though she said she’ll “never go into certain details” about her relationship with Slater, the Victorious alum does appear to sing about her split from Gomez and the beginnings of her new romance with the SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical star on her latest album Eternal Sunshine. The record spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200 and spawned two No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).”
Grande has also stepped out with Slater a few times over the past year or so, although the couple has largely kept their relationship low-key. In April, the Grammy winner supported Slater at his final Spamalot show, and in June, the pair attended the Stanley Cup finals together.

Lana Del Rey wore a custom-designed dress for her wedding with Jeremy Dufrene, Billboard can confirm.
The dress Del Rey wore on her wedding day was “a custom CINQ gown made specifically for her,” designer Macye Wysner tells Billboard.
No further details were provided, out of respect for the singer’s privacy.
Both a music idol and a style icon, the artist born Elizabeth Grant is known for weaving American nostalgia into her songwriting and fashion aesthetic. Curiosity about what Lana Del Rey would wear as a bride set in when reports of her wedding ceremony in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, circulated, with paparazzi photos taken from a distance published by The Daily Mail.
People confirmed the entertainer tied the knot with airboat captain and swamp tour guide Jeremy Dufrene on the bayou on Sept. 26. At press time, Del Rey has not publicly commented on their relationship or the private Louisiana celebration.
In the low-resolution glimpse of Del Rey’s attire for the occasion, she appeared to wear a white or ivory gown with a romantic ruffle neckline, a fitted bodice and a full skirt. Her hair was styled over her shoulder in loose curls, fastened to the side with a powder blue ribbon.
The silhouette of her dress has a resemblance to that of The River gown by CINQ, which has a scalloped lace ruffle neckline and silk tulle skirt.
As Del Rey’s design from CINQ was custom, her gown might have been loosely inspired by The River — but it presumably featured elements personal to the bride.
Trending on Billboard
CINQ, with heirloom designs that combine vintage silhouettes and modern details, “was created for the bride that connects on an emotional level to her gown,” the Los Angeles-based bridal collection states on its website. “It’s not just the dress .. it’s a precious, fleeting moment in time.. it’s the feeling when she’s wearing it.. it’s the moment of reflection.”
Del Rey crossed paths with Dufrene in 2019 on one of his boat tours, which are known to feature alligator encounters, and the couple seemingly reconnected and began dating earlier this year. (As Del Rey sings on the sweet ballad “Margaret,” penned for Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley ahead of their 2023 wedding, “When you know, you know.”)
She hinted at a relationship when she tagged Dufrene as “my guy” in an Instagram post in May, before the pair were seen holding hands at U.K. festival Reading & Leeds in August. Earlier this month, Del Rey and Dufrene were photographed hand-in-hand attending Karen Elson and Lee Foster’s wedding at New York City’s Electric Lady Studios.
Following 2023’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, the singer-songwriter is next expected to release an album titled Lasso. The project was first announced as a country record, but as she noted in an interview last month, “All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana.” She said of Lasso, “I don’t think it will be a heavy departure.”
“If anything, it will just be a little lighter lyrically, and more pointed in a classic country, American or Southern Gothic production — which again, so many of my songs already are,” said Del Rey.
