Halle Berry is out here on Instagram reminding everyone why she's that girl. The Oscar-winning thespian set her social media page ablaze yesterday with a video of herself dancing carefree in a bikini to her boyfriend Van Hunt's latest EP, A Heart Full of Questions . Effortlessly chic and ultra-confident, Berry showcased her sleek moves in an itty-bitty white bikini and white sunglasses, which provided a full view of her toned body. Not only did this video show her admiration for her boo's music, but it also proved that age ain't nothing but a number. Our girl is drinking from the fountain of youth, loving her man out loud, and redefining what it means to be timeless.
Looking like a complete meal, Berry let the music take over as she moved her hips from side to side, tossed her hair to and fro, playfully flirted with the camera (or cameraman), and even chomped on some fruit during the ordeal. The video, filmed in a space that overlooked a breathtaking ocean view, was a blend of playful, sexy, and unbothered-ness that we couldn't get enough of. It instantly became a fan favorite, racking up likes and comments from followers and celebrities alike who couldn't get enough of her ageless glow and contagious energy. 'You're having fun living this life & that's all that matters @halleberry 👏👏👏,' admired one fan. While another follower captured the video perfectly in their caption, 'The sexiest thing a woman can do is live her life happily and freely.' The Never Let Go actress closed the adorable video with a funny clip of her losing her bikini bottoms, but, of course, we couldn't see the goods.
Beyond just a viral moment, the clip is a joyful celebration of self-love, body positivity, and romance. At 58, Berry is showing the world that confidence isn't tied to age and that when you're vibing to your partner's music, life hits a little sweeter. Goals!

Beyoncé and Jay-Z become the main event as Paris crowns celebrity the world's hottest trend

PARIS -- If any force dominated the global fashion industry this season — eclipsing fabric, form and even the wildest silhouettes — it was the spectacle of celebrity. In a year marked by global anxiety and a hunger for fantasy, star power flooded Paris Fashion Week, turning runways into gladiator arenas where A-list icons, K-pop idols and digital megastars became the main event. Beyoncé and Jay-Z didn't just attend Louis Vuitton's blockbuster show — they became the show. As they swept into the Pompidou Center, cameras flashed and phones shot skyward. Before the first look even hit the runway, images of the couple ricocheted across the globe. K-pop idols like J-Hope and Jackson Wang livestreamed their arrival to millions, while crowds outside flooded social feeds with every glimpse of a star. As the industry's spring season wraps up Sunday, it's clear: Fashion's global audience is focused less on what's worn and more on who's wearing it. This interplay between celebrity and fashion is hardly new, but in 2025, the desire for escapism and star-driven spectacle is peaking like never before. 'It's about celebrity clickbait, and it's at a tipping point now. Celebrities have replaced the designers and stylists as the tastemakers,' said Anna Barr, a fashion magazine editor who attended shows. Beyoncé's appearance this week encapsulated a truth that every major brand — from Louis Vuitton to Dior, Hermès to Saint Laurent — now understands: The real front row isn't in Paris, but on Instagram, TikTok and Weibo. And nothing sells quite like a star. The pop star's head-to-toe denim — custom Louis Vuitton by Pharrell Williams — wasn't just viral. Within 24 hours, clips of her arrival amassed millions of views on TikTok, outpacing even Louis Vuitton's own campaign content. When Williams presented her with a Speedy bag straight from the runway in the Paris dusk, the moment went viral — underlining that Beyoncé isn't just an attendee, but a face of Louis Vuitton's creative vision. But even as Beyoncé's look became the week's most shared image, her presence in Paris also sparked debate: a Buffalo Soldiers T-shirt she wore during her 'Cowboy Carter' tour ignited criticism from some Indigenous and Mexican communities, reminding the industry that every viral moment can be a flash point. This is the new dynamic of luxury: The most coveted runway seat is now in your hand, and what matters most isn't just what you see, but who you see wearing it. What once was a private preview for buyers and editors is now a worldwide entertainment event. Designers don't just stage shows — they produce spectacles. Williams, Louis Vuitton's showman-in-chief, turned his runway into a snakes-and-ladders fantasy with a guest list to match: Beyoncé, Jay-Z, K-pop royalty J-Hope and Jackson Wang, reggaeton star Karol G, and Hollywood names like Bradley Cooper and Mason Thames. Each arrival triggered waves of posts and stories — making the crowd as newsworthy as the collection itself. The modern runway has become a stage for celebrity, where the applause is measured in views and viral moments, and the line between performer and spectator disappears. No other force is shifting menswear trends faster than K-pop. This season, stars like J-Hope, Jackson Wang, GOT7's Bambam, and NCT's Yuta were everywhere, livestreaming shows and igniting fashion frenzies from Seoul to Sao Paulo. These idols are both tastemakers and trend translators, instantly transmitting what they see in Paris to millions of fans. Their attendance has become a commercial event in itself, driving the adoption of new styles on a global scale. Even the clothes themselves now chase celebrity. Beyoncé's ' Cowboy Carter ' moment and Louis Vuitton's nod to Western style sent cowboy hats, flared denim, and rhinestone shirts trending worldwide. Brands scramble to turn these viral moments into wearable trends — knowing that what Queen Bey wears in Paris will be copied in malls and on apps within weeks. 'We make fashion, but we're a house of travel,' Williams told reporters. In truth, it's the celebrity's journey through fashion that matters most. The old fashion cycle is gone. It's been said before. Where trends once took months to trickle down, now a celebrity-worn look can reach the high street soon after the show lights dim. TikTok and fast fashion brands move at the speed of the repost. At Hermès, even the discreet luxury of woven leather tees and wide trousers took on new meaning as athletes and music stars documented their attendance. Their posts quickly turn exclusive details into mass-market 'must-haves.' Shein and Temu, the global fast-fashion juggernauts, have weaponized the viral moment — turning celebrity sightings into shoppable trends worldwide, sometimes in a matter of hours. The result: What debuts on the Paris catwalk can show up in online shopping carts from Atlanta to Addis Ababa almost instantly. Beneath the celebrity glow, classic trends endure. Streetwear is still king, with oversized silhouettes, soft tailoring and activewear influences everywhere from Dior to Dolce & Gabbana. The Hermès 'cool city guy' and Dolce's pajama dressing — rumpled but rich — are direct answers to how men want to live and move now. But even these trends go mainstream through star power, not just design. The models might debut the look, but it's the front-row faces who make it stick. The celebrity ascendancy isn't just a front-row phenomenon — it's woven into the industry itself. When LVMH 's Bernard Arnault tapped Williams, a global pop icon, to lead Louis Vuitton menswear in 2023, it wasn't just a creative risk. It was a declaration that celebrity now runs the show. All this spectacle reflects a bigger shift. Fashion isn't just about what's in — it's about who's in the room, and who's watching. At Armani in Milan, at Saint Laurent in Paris, at every show, a galaxy of K-pop, Hollywood, and music stars now drive the narrative. For Gen Z and Alpha, the runway is no longer about aspiration — it's about participation, sharing, and living in the moment. The 'show' has become the product. In 2025, the hottest look in men's fashion isn't a garment — it's the spectacle. In the world's most-watched runway season, celebrity is the new couture, and every scroll puts you in the front row.

What else clicks this week? ' Shark Whisperer ,' today on Netflix: Following summer's official start, and the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's 'Jaws,' shark season is already underway despite the Discovery Channel's 37th annual Shark Week slated for July 20. This Netflix documentary concentrates on the controversial conservationist Ocean Ramsay. The social media phenom swims with sharks, uncaged, as her 2 million Instagram followers watch. Expect the unexpected, a complex character study, and dazzling underwater photography co-directed by James Reed, who won an Oscar for his participation in the pop culture sensation 'My Octopus Teacher.' ' Heads of State ,' Wednesday on Prime Video: It used to be that July Fourth weekend was the big tentpole for action-driven movies like 'Transformers,' 'Spider-Man: Far From Home,' and 'Independence Day.' Now, streaming has taken over that function with stunt-and-star original movies. 'Heads of State' pairs two Hollywood stars, John Cena and Idris Elba, who boast big individual followings. The buddy bromance has Elba as the UK prime minister and Cena as the American president joining forces to thwart an international terrorist conspiracy before the free world sizzles like a sparkler.

With a $50,000 purse to be donated to charity, which seems meager for the level of danger involved, four teams of aquatic experts travel the world competing in a treasure hunt. Who will discover and photograph the most shark species? It sounds dry on paper, but getting within shooting range of the toothy beasts could draw blood in the water from the Maldives to the Galapagos. ' Macy's 4th of July Fireworks ,' Friday at 8 p.m. on NBC and Peacock: The annual celebration, televised live and launching adjacent to the Brooklyn Bridge, will save at-home viewers from neck pain, mugginess, dehydration, and crowds.

Musical guests in anticipation of the fireworks are the Jonas Brothers, Eric Church, Lenny Kravitz, Ava Max, Keke Palmer, and Trisha Yearwood. For the 25-minute fireworks display, Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson and James Poyer will produce the score, with DeBose performing as well.

I Went 'Teddy' Blonde For Summer & Finally Found My Perfect Colour Match

All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. The moment summer rolls around, I ask myself one question: How blonde is too blonde? This season, however, my normal desire to go as bright as the sun has been softened, partly thanks to conversations around ' recession blonde ', which embraces more lived-in looks for the warmer months. While the top line might be about saving money (less bleach = fewer salon visits), the move towards a more relaxed blonde is exactly what my over-processed hair has been crying out for — and one particular shade has piqued my interest. Enter: 'teddy' blonde. If you've taken one look at Pinterest lately, you'll know that soft, grown-out blondes are everywhere, and no colour is more popular than teddy blonde — a shade said to resemble the golden nuances of a teddy bear's fur. The colour has been spotted on celebrities like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sofia Richie Grainge, who have left their bleached lengths behind to embrace more honey-hued, natural shades like this one. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rosie HW (@rosiehw) According to Emily Payne, a colourist at George Northwood salon in London, the shade is defined by golden, warmer tones rather than the cool ashy ones we've been seeing recently: 'There's more depth to the blonde,' Payne told me, adding, 'It's not just a bleach blonde — there are much richer tones within it.' As such, it's more of a low-maintenance blonde, as it can incorporate your natural colour in between the lighter strands. Payne cites cost and busy schedules as reasons behind people seeking more low-effort looks, but she also thinks that hair health is a key component: 'I think a lot of people are trying to be in their healthy girl era and don't want to bleach their hair as much as they used to do,' Payne told me. 'Even brunettes, who maybe had highlights or balayage, want to go back to more of their natural colour,' she reports. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝑮𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒆 (@ How do you make your hair teddy blonde? As a blonde already, I was keen to know how the teddy blonde process would differ from my usual bleach and tone. According to Payne, it depends on how much blonde is already in the hair: 'If there's a lot of blonde and you want to add dimension, you can weave in more of the client's natural colour throughout the strands,' says Payne, much like this look on Glory Rose. She refers to the process as 'reverse balayage', essentially hand-painting dashes of darker hues. As we were starting from a grown-out bleach balayage, Payne began by adding some reverse balayage to the back, which would help tone down some of the bright blonde and introduce more golden tones. Then she applied some sporadic bleach pieces to refresh the existing colour and make the newly dyed pieces pop against the lowlights. Then we moved to the front of my hair, where we started to pack on the colour, layering neat foils of bleach highlights around the top and sides, each interspersed with reverse balayage lowlights to add depth. Instead of using permanent dye for the lowlights, Payne reached for salon favourite, Redken Shades EQ gloss, which fades out naturally and doesn't leave behind regrowth lines. Even better? It's less harsh on your strands: 'A gloss is an updated version of a toner, where the colour is a little bit more sheer and adds a shine as it closes down the hair cuticle post-dye,' Payne explains. Once all the highlights and lowlights were in, Payne layered on another slightly darker gloss at the backwash to soften the blonde pieces and to create a more golden tone near the roots. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Angelica Adamé | Stockton Balayage Specialist 🤎 (@jellythecosmo) Does teddy blonde work on light & dark hair? Viral trends like this one won't work for every hair colour, or it could take a while to get there. According to Payne, achieving the perfect teddy blonde requires starting from a handful of specific base colours: 'For this look to work best, you would need to start from a 'dirty' blonde, dark blonde or light brown shade,' says Payne. For those with a darker base, Payne says that it's possible to lift the hair to a richer, more caramel tone that's similar but not as light. How long does teddy blonde hair last? The main appeal of teddy blonde is that it requires very little effort. For me, the looming feeling of 'having' to get my roots done is never a fun one. Seeing a darker root emerging is something I've enjoyed, but anything that requires less work was always going to be a win for me. That said, it's still hair colour, so with that in mind, how often do you need to refresh teddy blonde? 'To start with, I would say every three months,' suggests Payne, but because it's slightly darker than your average blonde, you might be able to stretch it to three or even four months. That's all thanks to the lowlights, says Payne: As time goes on, the lowlights will gradually penetrate deeper into the hair shaft and bond more strongly over time, making the shade last longer. At the same time, any bleach will relax and soften, says Payne. The appeal of the softer, lived-in look is that it fades more naturally. In other words, if you choose not to refresh it over the summer, it won't look severe come autumn. While teddy blonde is low-maintenance, it still deserves some love. Payne suggests investing in a deeply hydrating shampoo and conditioner: 'I always recommend the Pureology Hydrate range, and the Superfood Deep Treatment Mask is lovely, too.' Styling is equally important to maximise the nuances of teddy blonde: 'A lot of the reference photos people bring in are of that '90s bouncy blowdry, which really does complement the colour,' says Payne. Adding, 'I also think using your natural texture works great, especially if you have beachy waves or natural curls, because the blonde bits really pop and the darker pieces will create more dimension.' While I usually wear my hair brushed out or in a slicked-back ponytail, Payne recommends enhancing natural waves with a hair cream like George Northwood's Moisturising Cream, £15, to help define strands, smooth hair and limit frizz. For curly hair, her top pick is the Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream, £29, which nourishes parched strands and imparts shine, all while enhancing your natural curl pattern. How is teddy blonde best styled? To elevate the shade, hairdresser Harry Payne recommended cutting in some texture to amp up the 'lived in' look. He took inspiration from '00s icons like Sienna Miller and Kate Moss, making my hair more piecey at the front with subtle curtain bangs. Now I get those soft, flowy pieces around my face even when I tie my hair up. Payne's top tip: Tuck the fringe pieces behind your ears when your hair is damp to achieve the perfect C-bend shape when dry. What's teddy blonde like IRL? I expected something super warm, but teddy blonde turned out much more subtle on me. The dark blonde tones woven through the honey blonde hues suited my complexion way better than the bleach blonde I'd outgrown. The gloss made my hair feel heavenly soft, and teamed with a much-needed cut, it left my hair feeling so much healthier. What's more, the added layers somehow made my hair look longer and thicker. Since I'm on a mission to grow my hair out this year, it was much appreciated. Bounding into the office, I was met with cries of 'It looks so natural!' and 'It suits you so well!', confirming my feeling that the colour was a good match for me. While the sun is likely to brighten the tones slightly over the summer, I know that I can go back to tone my hair at any time, without having to spend hours in the salon chair. Better still, it will look even more natural as it starts to grow out. Teddy blonde is a triumph, if you ask me.
