Queen mother Naomi Campbell descended on Cannes this week, and her appearance was everything we thought it would be. The international influencer and supermodel didn't just walk the carpet – though she did werk it.
The British beauty owned it. Queen Mother was every bit a legend, an icon, and the moment. Naomi Campbell Brings Major Queen Energy To Cannes
Last year, the 54-year-old linked up with Law Roach and made headlines in a nearly-naked number. This year, she switched it up, showing her style versatility.
Attending the premiere of Fuori, Naomi hit the carpet in a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda gown that instantly became one of the festival's most talked-about looks. The dress served grandeur, drama, and all-out royalty. The D&G piece featured an embellished gold corset bodice, delicate lace, ornate gemstone embroidery, and an enormous black tulle skirt.
And, you know Naomi's hair and beauty were just as flawless. Naomi gave us a soft, radiant beat—bronze lids, glowing skin, and a glossy nude lip. But her hair is what set the look off. Quite literally.

The mother of two ditched her signature buss-down middle part and straight bundles for a more natural look. She rocked a full, fluffy natural afro that we loved. Big, beautiful, and unapologetic, Naomi's hair was the perfect complement to her over-the-top dress while providing style and attitude that is uniquely her.
This Cannes couture moment hit even harder since Naomi skipped the Met Gala earlier this month. The fashion world was ready for her to slay – and she did not disappoint.
Further, Naomi's standout red carpet moment came just two days before her 55th birthday. What a better way to show you are still that girl than to slay like this? Gallery: Cannes Continues To Bring Out Black Hollywood's Finest

Taraji P. Henson doesn't play when it comes to major moments – and her Cannes looks are no different. Before heading out to film events, she posed in a gold Ulla Johnson gown that shimmered with every step. The fit was flawless, and that pixie cut was sitting just right. Her glow? Immaculate. She looked like money, success, and auntie-you-wish-you-had vibes all rolled into one.

Ryan Destiny attended the Vie Privée (A Private Life) red carpet looking like a rich truffle. Styled by Law Roach, her chocolate brown Schiaparelli dress hugged every curve and showed off her flawless body. That one-shoulder neckline, the pleated texture, and that slit? Chef's kiss. Her skin was glowing, her hair was flipped, and she looked like the kind of soft luxury we talk about in group chats. Source:Getty
Chanel Iman floated onto the red carpet looking like a luxe Cinderella. This icy blue moment is everything! From her gown's high-high slit to her soft glam and wispy updo, this supermodel served feminity, fabulouness, and fantasy. Chanel topped off the look diamonds and silver accessories. Source:Getty
Angela Bassett served a 'soft glam boss' look during a Mission Impossible film event – and meant it. Taking a break from the red carpet, here she poses in a peachy embellished power suit that is equal parts elegance and edge, paired with a crisp white bustier that snatched the moment. And let's talk about that side-swept hair—silky, bouncy, and giving grown woman glam we'll never get tired of.

A$AP Rocky's AWGE SS26 Returns to Paris in "Obligatory Fashion"
Summary It was a big week forA$AP Rockyas he returned to Paris to present his second collection forAWGE. Following a surprise appearance atJonathan Anderson's debut Dior show, Rocky capped off his fashion week with the unveiling of the collection titled 'Obligatory Fashion,' that appeared to be set to new tracks off of Rocky's highly-anticipated new album. The show served as a compelling commentary on how necessity breeds trends, how once-stigmatized 'ghetto' styles now define luxury, and how institutional dress evolves into cultural iconography. As guests entered the show, they were greeted by masked uniform men, resembling SWAT individuals. Guests had to go through set of metal detectors which also lined the runway. Drawing from his own court house experience of his most recent public trial, the collection and set was a comment on the powerful alchemy that converts items born from practicality or social circumstance into symbols of aspirational style. This narrative unfolded through garments that challenged perceptions, blurring lines between what's considered foundational and what's deemed cutting-edge. On the runway, Rocky offered tantalizing glimpses of his forthcoming PUMA footwear collaboration, featuring the striking Mostro Gabbia and a distressed interpretation of the classic Speedcat. Further elevating the footwear, Christian Louboutin lent select silhouettes, which were then customized with bespoke AWGE charms by Pavē Niteō. Pavē Niteō, fresh from their diamond-encrusted Ray-Ban debut at the Met Gala, also supplied Rocky's personal jewelry for the evening, reinforcing the collection's high-wattage appeal. The collection was quintessentially Rocky, showcasing varying sides of the the multi-hyphenate musician. Taking inspiration from the suits he wore to the court and his everyday garb that consists of oversized bomber jackets and untucked gingham button-downs, the collection hinged on wearability for numerous occasions. From double-breasted cream and vibrant green suits to multi-layered boxers under low-riding chinos, the collection touches upon every facet of Rocky's fashion wardrobe. Explicit and implicit statements were made, including wearable bullet-proof vests and jerseys that read, 'Not Guilt, Stop Snitchin.' A family affair, front row saw the likes of Rihanna, their son, A$AP Nast and more support Rocky on his second show.

Katie Couric slams Lauren Sanchez's wedding style, calling it outdated and ‘tacky'
She was not impressed by the dress. Katie Couric slammed Lauren Sanchez's wedding style, bashing her gown and her hair in a scathing social media post. 'Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back,' she penned. The former 'Today' show host left the rude remark on Jack Schlossberg's Instagram post on Friday, the day Sanchez married Bezos in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy. Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy, reposted Sanchez's Vogue cover — where the former journalist donned her long-sleeved, corseted Dolce & Gabbana lace gown that took some 900 hours to make — with the caption, 'Like I said … vogue.' 3 Katie Couric slammed Lauren Sanchez's wedding look, which made the cover of Vogue. Vogue Couric wasted no time in jumping on the bandwagon, and an hour later, left the 'tacky' comment, to which Schlossberg replied, 'Let's bring back scrunchies,' a reference to the '80s hair accessory famously roasted on 'Sex and the City.' Others joined in on the attack, adding comments such as 'Spot on. Money can't buy you class' and 'Imagine being married to the one of richest men on the planet and still choosing a dress that's ugly as f—k.' 3 The former 'Today' host took to Instagram to call Sanchez's look 'tacky.' Getty Images for The Women's Media Center Some did defend the new bride's looks, however, and called for an end to the mean girl comments. 'I think she looks gorgeous, the dress is stunning and a surprise. Everyone leave her alone. Let her be happy,' one said. 'If the dress made her feel good on her day that's a beautiful thing,' another added. 3 Sanchez married Jeff Bezos in a lavish, star-studded ceremony in Venice, Italy. @laurensanchezbezos via REUTERS Others turned on Couric and her unnecessarily rude comment. 'I'm reading that many women say Lauren Sánchez Bezos lacks 'class.' Those same critics also lack 'class,' because an educated, intelligent, respectful, or rather, classy person doesn't go around criticizing or making fun of other people,' one scolded. Another pointed out that Couric may be lashing out because she feels slighted since she didn't make the wedding's star-studded guest list. 'I'm guessing you aren't invited, Katie lol,' they quipped.

Rihanna Wears Sheer Blue Chanel Gown to ‘The Smurfs' World Premiere
THE RUNDOWN On Saturday, Rihanna attended the world premiere of Smurfs in Brussels wearing a custom Chanel ensemble in baby blue. Rihanna voices the character of Smurfette in the new animated movie. Her chiffon top was constructed with layers of sheer fabric that swung lightly over her torso—she and her partner, A$AP Rocky, revealed they were expecting their third child at the Met Gala in May this year. Under the top, which was hung with dangling crystals and feathers, she wore a long silk skirt in the same delicate shade with embroidery along the hem. She had her hair half up and wore several pieces of delicate jewelry around her neck and wrists. By her side, A$AP Rocky was wearing a striped red-and-white button-down shirt and a red and blue tie. He was wearing wide-legged slacks and a pair of dark sunglasses. Both stars have been in Paris the last few days, first making an appearance at a show for the Dior menswear collection. Rihanna wore an embroidered cape-style coat over a mint green vest and button-down, while the rapper wore a brightly striped Dior tie. They then appeared at Rocky's show for AWGE as part of Paris Fashion Week. They were joined by their son, Riot Rose, making his fashion show debut. Rihanna was wearing a loose button-down shirt in a blue and red stripe pattern that opened over her belly, paired it with a pleated black miniskirt. She accessorized with white pointed-toe heels with criss-crossed laces over tall gray socks. She left her long hair down in gentle waves and wore a number of different chains and pendants of different lengths. Riot was also styled for the night, wearing purple pants, Vans, and a cute denim jacket over a white T-shirt.
