Beyoncé and Jay-Z dominate Paris as celebrity drives fashion's biggest trend
PARIS — If any force swept through the fashion industry this season — and sent shockwaves around the globe — it wasn't a new silhouette or a daring color. It was the spectacle of celebrity.
Star power eclipsed fabric and form, transforming the runways of Paris Fashion Week into arenas where A-list icons, K-pop idols, and digital megastars didn't just attend — they became the main event.

Will Smith alludes to Chris Rock Oscars slap in freestyle rap: 'Talking crazy out your face up on the stage'
After hopping on stage for an infamous moment at the 2022 Academy Awards, Will Smith has hopped the pond to rap about the slap heard 'round the world. The actor and musician's recent appearance on British DJ Charlie Sloth's freestyle rap show, Fire in the Booth, found him referencing his shocking altercation with Oscars host Chris Rock that led to Smith's resignation from the Academy and his 10-year ban from future ceremonies. In a freestyle that repeated the refrain "I am the illest," Smith rapped, "If you talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespect me on the stage, expect me on the stage." In the jaw-dropping (popping?) 2022 incident, Rock cracked a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head as part of his hosting duties at the 94th Academy Awards ceremony. Smith, Pinkett Smith's husband of almost 30 years, reacted by stalking up to the stage and smacking Rock in the face, warning him, "Keep my wife's name out of your f---ing mouth." Pinkett Smith had previously announced that alopecia had caused her to lose her hair. Smith's freestyle on Fire in the Booth also included references to his humble beginnings in Philadelphia as well as his wealth, three children, two marriages, and artistic success: "Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and when I stare at 'em, I'm hearing 'em whisper, 'You've got every right to be arrogant,'" he rapped. The Oscar-winning King Richard star cautioned at the top of his freestyle that "my insights don't sound right in sound-bites," before he couched his reference to the Oscars incident with, "I'm not the type of man to move in malicious ways, and I am too grown to play childish games." Representatives for Smith and Rock did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for and hype man Sloth, who hosted The Rap Show on BBC's 1Xtra, now headlines The Charlie Sloth Rap Show for Apple Music. Fire in the Booth is Sloth's YouTube series, which showcases established and up-and-coming MCs as they prove their skills on the mic. This is not the first time Smith has referenced his awards ceremony clash in his music. In March, he released his new album, Based on a True Story, his first record of solo material in 20 years, which included lyrics addressing his Oscars slap and his "complicated" relationship with his wife. Pinkett Smith previously stated that she and Smith separated in 2016 but remain married. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Leonardo DiCaprio spotted leaving Jeff Bezos extravagant Italian wedding
Jeff Bezos and his new bride, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, said "I do" over the weekend with a star-studded guest list to celebrate their Italian nuptials. As the wedding weekend winded down, a slew of A-list attendees were spotted making the trek out of Venice, Italy. Orlando Bloom, who is rumored to be newly single after calling off an engagement to pop star Katy Perry, joined Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, on a taxi boat ride to the airport. Bloom, 48, wore a breezy white shirt over a tank top, and shielded his eyes from the bright sun with a black hat for the boat ride with Ceretti and DiCaprio. DiCaprio attempted to go incognito by wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with his hood dramatically covering his face while walking along the dock. Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady was spotted wearing a green shirt with slacks as he walked toward a waiting boat post-wedding. Salma Hayek's billionaire husband, François-Henri Pinault, was pictured leaving the Bezos affair Sunday. Pinault's family company, the French luxury group Kering, is home to famed fashion brands including Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. Pinault's father, François, founded the $22 billion brand, which also owns Alexander McQueen and Christie's auction house. Pinault has an estimated net worth of $7 billion. Kendall Jenner packed light for the Italian getaway, and had her security guard carry her Gucci luggage to a waiting taxi boat. Several other celebrities joined the newlyweds Saturday in the Arsenale, a former medieval shipyard which hosted the wedding ceremony. Usher and his wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, were seen arriving at the event, while Kris Jenner and her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, made their own appearance. Sydney Sweeney and Karlie Kloss – who is married to Jared Kushner's brother, Joshua – were also spotted leaving the restaurant. Shortly after tying the knot, Sánchez took to Instagram to debut her wedding dress and new name. Her updated Instagram account now reads, "Lauren Sánchez Bezos." "06/27/2025," she captioned her post, adding a red heart. She also debuted her wedding gown on the cover of Vogue. Her Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress was a mermaid-style lace gown with sheer long sleeves and a high neckline. She told Vogue in her cover story she felt "like a princess." "It is a departure from what people expect," she said, "from what I expect — but it's very much me."
