The hot girls are wearing animal prints—here's how to style them
Ah, animal prints. Beloved by fashion girls of all ages and basically a rite of passage at this point. You either wore it, or did your best to stay clear of it (and maybe failed). Last year, we saw leopard prints ruling the streets and Pinterest boards—worn as casual pants or flowy skirts, giving the print a softer, girl-next-door spin. But this year, the spread is expanding into a full-fledged wildlife fever dream. On top of leopard, black-and-white zebra stripes have joined the mix, and even snakeskin is back—showing up in fun colourways and exciting silhouettes. And the best part? The myriad range of styling possibilities—now that the print pool's grown, the way they're being worn has also loosened up. Pop princess Dua Lipa recently attended the Monaco F1 Grand Prix in a yellow leopard print top from Coperni, layered under a dark jacket—putting an edgy motorsport spin on the classic. Meanwhile, K-pop superstar Lisa caused a stir with her snakeskin mini dress in the teaser images for her collaboration with Maroon 5. The audacious print also made its way to the stage, with Tate McRae recently performing at Pinkpop in a blue snakeskin matching set. And the Katseye girls are no strangers to the trend either—with Lara showing up in a hot pink leopard mini dress, and Megan in a layered mini skirt mixing leopard with hot pink zebra stripes. Tate McRae performing in a blue snakeskin co-ord at Pinkpop 2025. Getty And these are just a few of the endless ways to wear them. Whether you're going casual, remixing prints, or slipping into something loud and directional, there's always room to experiment. And if full looks still feel a little daunting, accessories are the perfect entry point—consider a printed scarf or even a carryall for a quieter kind of roar. Below, see Vogue 's take on how to wear the punchy print this season—whether you're easing into the look or embracing full fever dream mode. @dualipa 1 / 20 Motorcore: Dua Lipa Courtesy of Coperni 2 / 20 Coperni top, $307 Available at Coperni.

Blue Dragon Series Awards 2025 is almost here with star-studded performances, new winners, and other eye-catching moments. The annual award ceremony will take place at the Incheon Paradise City in Seoul on Saturday (July 18) with a live telecast from 8:30 pm KST. Korean drama lovers worldwide are eagerly waiting to watch their favourite stars walk the red carpet in their best looks. Girls' Generation member YoonA and television personality Jun Hyun Moo are returning to host the award ceremony, taking place on Friday, July 18. The pair has been hosting the glam event since its launch in 2022. Their amazing chemistry and steady presence made them the ceremony's iconic faces. YoonA and Jun Hyun Moo are expected to elevate the award show with their natural and polished delivery. The pair shared their thoughts about returning as hosts of the Blue Dragon Series Awards for the fourth consecutive year. The veteran television personality, who gained popularity by hosting cultural programs, award ceremonies, and variety shows, said it is an honour to be a part of this glamorous event. "In an era when streaming series are at the forefront of K-culture, it is an honor to host the Blue Dragon Series Awards every year, which stands at the heart of it. Coincidentally, the first year I hosted the Blue Dragon Series Awards was also when the focus of content began shifting toward streaming series. As the ceremony continues to grow into a leading force in this cultural trend, I will take on my role with an even greater sense of responsibility and duty. I hope viewers look forward to the fantastic chemistry I will share once again this year with YoonA, who is sure to shine even brighter," he shared. YoonA also shared her excitement about returning as a host of this annual award ceremony.

"It is even more meaningful, and I am truly grateful, to be able to serve as MC for the fourth time since the beginning of this event, which has grown into a true celebration of the industry. As a host again this year, I will do my best to deliver the excitement and positive energy of the event to viewers," the Girls' Generation member added.

High energy, strong vocals: J-pop boy band Be:First makes explosive debut in Singapore, Entertainment News
No fancy effects, no outfit changes, not even a backing track. But these didn't matter. The two-hour Who is Be:First? sold-out performance on July 5 was not just the Japanese boy band's debut concert in Singapore. It was also my first J-pop concert and just like the lyrics of their opening song Mainstream, they certainly showed me a new standard. The seven members of Be:First - Leo, Manato, Shunto, Junon, Ryuhei, Sota and Ryoki - are a balance of skilled vocalists and dancers, with a strong stage presence that amplified their performances. The high energy from the start didn't dim one bit, even though almost every song had a dance break to keep the beat up. Halfway through, they slowed things down a little with SOS, the track I looked forward to hearing the most. As expected, they didn't disappoint, and I would argue it sounded better in person with their clear vocals that weren't drowned out by instrumentals or backing tracks. What impressed me was how everyone sounded stable when singing and rapping despite the often-intense choreographies their songs had. Sota, for one, stood out with his confident, clean and sharp moves, but that's not to say the other members were lacking. They each knew how to keep the audience engaged with their stage charisma. "Singapore too hot," remarked the youngest Ryuhei, 19, at one point, after a loving Sota wiped his perspiration with a towel. The latter then asked the crowd if they were doing okay, and Shunto, 21, looked up at the second level of Capitol Theatre to ask in English: "Are you okay?" Sota, 24, joined him, making fanning gestures: "Are you okay? Not hot?" I was admittedly disappointed that there was no interpreter for their talking segments, but it was little moments like this one where I appreciated the sweet attempts to break the language barrier. We agree Ryuhei, Singapore is really hot 🥲#BF_WORLDTOUR2025 — AsiaOne (@asiaonecom) July 5, 2025 The members, who made their debut in 2022, talked about having local dishes like chilli crab and paper-wrapped chicken and visiting the Merlion Park before asking fans for recommendations on other places to go to. Their fandom Besty matched the group's energy by tenfold, be it through singing when asked to or giving enthusiastic cheers and answers to the boys' questions. Many suggestions on where to go were heard from the audience, with the popular ones being Sentosa, Universal Studios Singapore and Night Safari. Light sticks unite the crowd in K-pop, but I noticed J-pop fans make up for that with their handheld banners and matching merchandise. I also personally loved that official fanchants aren't a thing for the latter, as fans often drown out the artistes' live singing at K-pop concerts. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed myself - the setlist had something for everyone: From catchy, dance-heavy tracks like Scream and Grit to spirited and lighthearted tunes like Sailing and Blissful. Who is Be:First? They might just be the new standard indeed. Watch for our E-Junkies video interview with Be:First coming out soon!
