The best celebrity beauty from this month
It's undeniable—the likes of Instagram and TikTok have given us all a space for unabashed self-expression. And for some, an artfully made-up mien or a customised change of talons are the perfect canvases to do so. Pop culture has had significant influence in the sphere. Experimentation is abound, with novice creators and popular personalities alike attempting to ace a make-up look that is all the rage or share a thematic one-off look for others to recreate.
Then begs the question: how do we sieve out the best of all? Make-up trends surely begin somewhere, and learning from our seasoned celebrities is never a bad place to start if you're feeling overwhelmed. Vogue Singapore might be of help to you on that front—with our monthly curation of captivating beauty moments, courtesy of our favourite faces from Hollywood, the K-pop scene and more, just for that fresh jazz of inspiration.
May presented no shortage of beauty moments to marvel at. Celebrity glamour was dialled up to full volume, courtesy of the Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival both taking place this month. At the Met, glossy lips and intricate hair details reigned supreme, as seen on the likes of Doechii, Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya. Following that, it was all about fresh radiance as celebrities decamped to Europe for spring, from Bella Hadid's newly debuted blonde locks at Cannes, to the polished updos seen on Lupita Nyong'o and Margaret Qualley at Chanel's Cruise 2025/26 show on Lake Como.

Did we expect anything less than a complete bombshell turnout at Cannes from Bella Hadid? No—but the model still managed to surprise by stepping out with freshly dyed blonde locks. A bronzed base complements her new honey tones. Getty

They're officially back—ahead of their new album Happy Burstday 's release, Seventeen dropped a series of arresting teaser photos featuring their members. Here, Hoshi stands out with ice-hued hair and matching inner eye corners, finished off with a dusting of blush across the nose bridge. Getty
4 / 14 Alex Consani
Coordinating with the crystals encrusting her Swarovski gown—18,400 of them, no less—was Alex Consani's embellished peepers at the Met Gala. Below her signature bleached brows, a string of crystals neatly frames her kohl-lined cat eye. @imaanhammam
5 / 14 Imaan Hammam
There's nothing like a blowout to channel vintage glamour—and model Imaan Hammam got the brief. Replete with a chocolate brown shade by her hair stylist Hos Hounkpatin, it was a look completed by deep bronzer and glossy, lined lips. @sydney_sweeney
6 / 14 Sydney Sweeney
The Met Gala was a showcase for intricate hair details, and Sydney Sweeney nailed the trend with her artfully plastered curls. Hyper-long lashes and a jet black smokey eye add instant drama. @makeupbychelseax
7 / 14 Doechii
Blink and you'll miss it. It was all about subtle touches for Doechi's Met Gala glam, from a subtly embossed Louis Vuitton logo atop her cheek to her boldly lined pout. @zoeydeutch
8 / 14 Zoey Deutch
Zoey Deutch offers up a masterclass in Old Hollywood elegance at Cannes. Cropped curls, parted and secured in place, alongside her stunning red lip do the trick. Reach for her lip pencil, Chanel's Le Crayon Lèvres In 184 Rouge Intense, to emulate its va-va-voom effect. @ninapark
9 / 14 Hoyeon Jung
It's not hard to cast a radiant impression when you're Hoyeon Jung. For Louis Vuitton's recent Cruise show, make-up artist Nina Park took to the actress and model's mien with a warm palette, while hair stylist Hyungsun Ju tended to her casually chic mane. @ninapark
10 / 14 Laufey
In a look that's as delicately sublime as any of her songs, Laufey sports subtle pearl-like accoutrements atop face-framing tendrils while attending the Gold Gala. @redvelvet.smtown
11 / 14 Seulgi of Red Velvet
Matchy-matchy. Pair wine-coloured talons with a vivid crimson lip, a la Red Velvet's Seulgi, seen here in a teaser photo ahead of her newly released comeback with bandmate Irene. @ariana_greenblatt
12 / 14 Ariana Greenblatt
Bobs have been all the rage as of late, and actress Ariana Greenblatt is yet another celebrity making the case for the chic cut. On the red carpet at Cannes, it's all about insouciant texture for her cropped locks, while sporting dusty rose shades across her lips and cheeks. @simoneashley
13 / 14 Simone Ashley
Springtime in the South of France gives Simone Ashley the perfect excuse to channel her 'inner Swiss mountain girl dreams', with a classic beauty base and scarf-wrapped 'do. @tyronmachhausen
14 / 14 Margaret Qualley
A charming updo never disappoints. While attending Chanel's Cruise show in Italy, Margaret Qualley's was marked out with thick tendrils falling to one side of her face. Bonus points for a glowing complexion, accentuated by Chanel's Les Beiges Healthy Golden Glow Powder in Éclat Du Soir.

The It girl's guide to bermuda shorts
Getty If hot pants ruled the hemlines of last summer, this season's silhouette of choice has taken a more measured approach. Enter, bermuda shorts. Straddling the style line between modest and modern, the once-retired knee-grazer has returned, spotted everywhere from runways to the streets in iterations that feel more polished and contemporary. Whether its cut from rugged denim or airy linen, bermudas have proven to take the cake on versatility—offering just enough coverage without compromising on edge. If you need any further proof that bermudas are back in full force, look no further than the spring/summer 2025 runways. From Dior to Chanel, the silhouette made frequent appearances in shows. The Dior spring/summer 2025 ready‑to‑wear show featured an immersive fusion of athleticism and elevated glamour under Maria Grazia Chiuri's vision. Among the highlights was a standout pair of black jacquard technical taffeta bermuda shorts, etched with the archival Dior Graphique motif and finished with an elastic drawstring waist and zip pockets—a couture take on athletic allure. These bermudas were styled alongside coordinating bomber jackets, reinforcing the show's blend of performance wear and runway polish. Chanel hopped on the knee-length train at their spring/summer 2025 show as well where they offered a sophisticated reimagining of classic elegance infused with contemporary ease, under Virginie Viard's direction. The collection showcased bermuda shorts crafted from luxe tweed, a signature Chanel fabric elevated for warmer months. Coordinated with structured jackets and accessorised with mid-calf boots, the ensemble created a look that balanced tradition and modernity.

Courtesy of Chanel Off the runway, bermudas are coming out of retirement to become the comfortable yet fashionable go-to for it-girls across the globe. Spotted in New York, Suki Waterhouse was seen strutting the streets of the Big Apple in a full white ensemble, sporting a pair of distressed denim bermuda shorts paired with a structured white blazer, then finished with bold pink knee-high boots that sparkled with each step. Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow took a more polished approach, recently sharing a snapshot featuring tailored bermuda shorts matched with an oversized blue-button down shirt, an outfit she deemed as one of her 'spring essentials'. Gwyneth Paltrow gives Bermudas the crisp treatment, pairing tailored shorts with a classic blue button-down. @gwynethpaltrow Suki Waterhouse brings edge to summer whites, styling distressed Bermudas with a sharp blazer and bubblegum-pink boots. Getty So now you're sold on bermudas—but where to start? These five styles are leading the charge, making it easy to find a pair that speaks to your both your mood and your wardrobe. Cargo styles channel utility cool when worn with a fitted tank and sneakers, while denim bermudas feel effortless with a baby tee and strappy sandals. Gwyneth Paltrow taught us that tailored versions shine with crisp shirting or boxy blazers, perfect for the office or dressed-up errands. Athleisure takes lean into comfort, easily styled with sporty tanks, baseball caps and retro sneakers. And for vacation-ready ease, linen bermudas pair best with breezy tops and minimalist slides. No matter your style code, one thing's certain: bermudas are no longer a fashion outlier—they're the summer staple with staying power.

Singer Shila Amzah says ‘legendary' singer who lashed out at her is Amy Search
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Shila Amzah (left) says she is open to reconciliation, but only if Amy Search changes his attitude. PETALING JAYA – Malaysian singer Shila Amzah recently lodged a police report after being verbally attacked by a 'legendary' male singer. She confirmed his identity when speaking to the media at an event in Shah Alam on July 13. The 34-year-old said the person in question is Malaysian rock icon Amy Search . The incident occurred during a concert rehearsal on July 10, when Shila was scolded on stage. She later took to Instagram to share her side of the story, saying she felt unsafe and filed a police report. Police have since recorded a statement from Datuk Amy , 66. According to mStar, The Star's Malay-language portal, investigations revealed that Amy's actions stemmed from dissatisfaction with Shila, who was accused of meddling in his family matters. She said she was shocked by the outburst. 'In the 17 years I've known him in the industry , he's never been like this,' she shared on Instagram Stories on July 14. 'I'm sorry I couldn't name him openly with all the cameras in front of me last night – it made the situation worse.' Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

'When people say I'm disturbing someone else's family, that's completely untrue and baseless,' she said in an interview on July 12. On July 13, she said she was open to resolving the conflict with Amy. However, she added that any effort to mend the situation would happen only if he showed a positive change in attitude. ' To be honest, I'm in a difficult place (to make peace). It's not that I'm being egotistical or unwilling to reconcile – absolutely not. 'I just want to see a change (from Amy). If there's a shift in attitude, then reconciliation can happen,' she told mStar. While the Patah Seribu (2012) singer has not ruled out the possibility of working with Amy again, she said she would be more cautious moving forward. 'I might hire a bodyguard if I have to work with him again. I'm not putting out any conditions to prevent him from working with me,' she said. 'I'm professional and have never had any issues with anyone over the past 25 years. Besides, this industry is small. We all need to know how to protect ourselves.' THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK

BBC ends ties with MasterChef host Gregg Wallace after investigation
LONDON – The BBC said on July 14 that it would stop working with Gregg Wallace, a mainstay of the network and the longtime host of its hit television show MasterChef (1990 to present), after an investigation substantiated dozens of sexual misconduct allegations against him. Of the 83 allegations made against Wallace, 45 were upheld, the broadcaster said. These included three instances of him being 'in a state of undress' and one of unwelcome physical contact. The majority of claims against Wallace, who hosted the show for 19 years, involve 'inappropriate sexual language and humour', but the probe also found allegations of culturally and racially insensitive comments. The investigation, conducted by the law firm Lewis Silkin, involved interviews with 78 witnesses over seven months. It covered incidents between 2005 and 2024. 'The volume and consistency of substantiated allegations' made Wallace's return to the hit cooking show 'untenable', according to a statement from the production company behind the show, Banijay. Wallace, 60, denied many of the allegations in a statement posted to Instagram. On July 14, he wrote, 'I am deeply sorry for any distress caused.' He also said that 'some of his humour and language missed the mark,' adding, 'A late autism diagnosis has helped me understand how I communicate and how I'm perceived. I'm still learning.'

'Now,' he said, 'in a sanitised world, that same personality is seen as a problem.' Banijay ordered the investigation in December 2024 after the BBC reported that multiple women had accused Wallace of inappropriate conduct. Most of the complaints against Wallace occurred between 2005 and 2018. The BBC said in a statement that Wallace's behaviour 'falls below the values of the BBC and the expectations we have for anyone who works with or for us'. The broadcaster added that it had missed opportunities to address his behaviour earlier and that it accepted that more 'could and should have been done sooner'. In his deleted post, Wallace also said that the BBC did nothing to investigate his disability or to provide protections for him because of it. In 2024, Wallace brushed off the claims of inappropriate behaviour as coming from 'middle-class women of a certain age'. The Lewis Silkin investigation found little or no training to be in place for handling inappropriate workplace behaviour before 2016, and said that concerns taken to the production company were often handled informally. Shannon Kyle, the ghostwriter of Wallace's 2012 autobiography, told BBC Newsnight in 2024 that while the two were working on his book, Wallace had once answered the door wearing only a towel, which he later dropped, and that he touched her thigh and buttocks inappropriately. The BBC said on July 14 that it was not ready to make a final decision on whether it would broadcast the MasterChef series that was filmed in 2024 with Wallace as a presenter. NYTIMES
