Rihanna’s had fans doing a double take when she stepped out in New York over the weekend. The mother of two was spotted wearing what appeared to be socks on her feet, but they’re not socks, they’re designer boots from Bottega Veneta and currently flying off shelves, likely due to Rihanna’s power.

As of Thursday (May 23), the $1,100 Domenica Boot is almost out of stock on the Bottega Veneta website. The Domenica Boot, introduced in last year, is described as a knitted cotton boot with a “sock effect.”

The brand recommends keeping the shoes away from direct light, and filling them with tissue paper to maintain the shape.

Also, if the boots get wet, you’ll need to dry them immediately. You can clean them with a soft, dry cloth or brush, per Bottega Venetta.

Rihanna paired the shoe-socks with an Awake NY jacket, jogging pants and a baseball cap. Her $225 nylon pullover features white and blue detailing and a crown logo on the front.

And it’s not just her fashion (and newly blonde locks) that has been making headlines. The Grammy winner has been wracking up the frequent flyer miles lately. Last week, Rihanna traveled to China for a Fenty Beauty pop-up event in Shanghai. Last month, she traveled to London to promote her new Puma Creeper collection and in March, Rihanna flew to Junagadh, India where she performed at the wedding of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani, son of billionaire businessman, Mukesh Ambani. The performance marked her first full concert in eight years.   

In other Fenty news, Savage x Fenty and Fenty Beauty are kicking off Memorial Day weekend early with must-shop sales on both sites. Shoppers can save up to 70% off at Savage x Fenty and up to 60% off select Fenty Beauty products.

Christian Nodal and Cazzu have called it quits, and confirmed on social media that they are going their separate ways. The news comes two years after the couple began dating, and nearly a year after the Mexican mariacheño star and Argentine rapper welcomed their daughter, Inti.
On Thursday (May 23), both artists shared a heartfelt message on Instagram. “The time has come to share that Julieta and I are going our separate ways,” Nodal wrote, which Cazzu reposted on her own account. “Our love and respect for each other remains strong, especially in our role as parents to our wonderful daughter, Inti. I am deeply grateful for the moments we shared and will always carry those memories fondly. I appreciate your support and understanding during this time of change.”

After reposting Nodal’s message, Cazzu shared in her own words: “We artists are a screen of what happens in real life. You go through love, heartbreak, successes and mistakes with us. Today, as it was many times and as there are still many, you accompany us, some with hate and others with much love. Thank you, everything heals.”

Trending on Billboard

In April 2023, Cazzu revealed she was pregnant during a concert at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires when she dropped her white coat, revealing her baby bump. Five months later, she and Nodal shared a sweet photo holding their baby’s tiny hand, captioning it with a date: “14.09.23.” Since then, Nodal had been living in Argentina with Cazzu and their daughter.

In his Billboard cover story published in March, Nodal spoke about touring as a couple with Inti in tow. “I remember those times when I would come down from the stage and feel alone,” he said. “Now I come down to a stroller with my baby in it, and it all seems perfect. She has already been on tour with us, and I thought it would be hard, but she’s a rock star. When she was born, I was feeling exhausted. I don’t know how I managed to change diapers, but she gives me energy, motivation and strength.”

Thanks to VPNs, it’s getting easier than ever to safely stream your favorite TV series, movies and other programs from anywhere around the world.

What is a VPN? Think of it as a digital cloak that allows you to stream everything from must-watch TV shows to movies and sporting events, whenever and wherever you want.

Traveling abroad? VPNs will keep you connected while you’re away. But they’re not just for streaming your favorite programs internationally and accessing websites that may be inaccessible from outside of the U.S. You can use a VPNs at home, or at work, to keep your personal information secure as most VPNs offer private streaming and malware protection to keep your devices safe from viruses, hackers, phishing and other digital scams.

To get technical, a VPN, or “virtual private network,” encrypts your connection to hide your IP address, which allows you to stream from just about anywhere around the world. Although some platforms restrict VPN use, you can access VPNs on certain streaming platforms such as DirecTV, Peacock, Philo and Max.

Trending on Billboard

Most VPN services have monthly and annual plans, but if you’re not so familiar with the process, you might not want to lock yourself into an extended plan just yet. It’s better to start with a monthly package, or free trial where available (some VPNs offer a 30-day, money-back guarantee.)

 To help you get started, we’ve collected a list of the five best VPNs for streaming, web surfing, gaming and more that are compatible with iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, FireTV, Chrome, Firefox and other platforms.

See below for a short rundown of plans, pricing and other details you need to know.

NordVPN

NordVPN is a favorite of ours, due to its convenience, ease of use and speed. It works on multiple streaming platforms, allowing you to stay connected to your favorite programs, no matter how far you travel. It’s incredibly user-friendly, with easy access on up to 10 devices.

$3.69/month $8.29/month 55% off nordvpn

NordVPN has a strong connection to multiple servers in 111 countries around the world, but you’ll receive a notification to choose a new server if the current one is going offline or unavailable. Other features include malware protection, Data Breach Scanners, along with ad-blocking and tracking, which stops sites from tracking your online activity.

And right now, you can join for up to 71% off, plus three months free.

ExpressVPN

With servers in more than 150 countries, the ability to connect on up to eight devices simultaneously and a 30-day, money-back guarantee, ExpressVPN is one of the Web’s most popular VPN services (just Google “VPNs” and see what pops up first).

ExpressVPN offers one of the best options for international streaming at rapid speed (there’s a reason why it’s called “express” VPN) along with encrypted files, safe browsing and added protection to keep your personal information secure. You can join ExpressVPN for $6.67/month (49% off) for the first three months.

Surfshark

For a budget option, consider Surfshark. It’s a decent, budget VPN, according to TikTok reviews.

$2.19/month with 2-year plan $15.45/month 86% off surfshark

The VPN protects your personal info: search history, passwords and IP address. And you won’t have to worry about pop-ups, cookies and ads. There’s also antivirus protection that blocks access to your device’s camera.

Private Internet Access

Billed as the most “transparent” VPN option among its competitors, Private Internet Access offers fast streaming, advanced split tunneling that lets you customize settings for different apps and websites, and a “Kill Switch” to keep your data safe from leaks if the connection drops.

$2.19/month with 2-year plan $11.99/month 82% off pia vpn

Like many of the other choices on the list, PIA has ad-blocking, 24/7 customer assistance and monthly, annual and three-year plans, the latter being the cheapest at $2.19 for three years and three months. Monthly plans cost $11.99 and the year plan is $3.33/month (billed annually).

More Budget VPNs

Other budget VPN options include CyberGhost ($2.19 per month) and PureVPN for $3.46/month (regularly $19.95). There’s also Pure VPN, which features a comprehensive, user-friendly dashboard, “cutting-edge encryption” for secure and private browsing, and a social media checker that scans your privacy settings.

Reviews are mixed on PureVPN, as multiple Reddit users noted slower speeds and lagging. Keeping that in mind, PureVPN offers monthly plans for $19.95, or $4.96 for the annual plan. The Max plan is $3.46/month (reg. $19.95) for a two-year subscription, plus 83% off for four months.
