''My Grandfather told my Father'… and luckily he taught me ….when your lost …. 'Stand Still'. Happy Father's Day to everyone ! Mothers… sisters ….brothers ….friends included !' Cyrus captioned the picture slideshow on Sunday (June 15).
Apparently not shown in the country singer's Father's Day post is son Trace, who's seemingly had a fraught relationship as of late with Billy Ray, whom he recently said is 'the lamest man ever to walk planet earth.' The Metro Station musician referred to him as a 'delusional, evil person' last week — claiming he skipped the funeral of his 'Mammie,' the late mother of Tish Cyrus, back when Billy Ray was still married to Tish. His comments came upon seeing that Billy Ray 'flew to Italy for a fashion show' (with girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley). 'This man is so hungry for fame it's pathetic,' wrote Trace on June 10.
Miley's had more positive thoughts to share. In an interview with The New York Times, the Something Beautiful singer shared candid remarks on her father's current relationship with the English actress. 'As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents,' she said.
'My mom's really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard,' Miley explained. 'And so I think I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own, because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain. But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing.'
'I'm being an adult about it,' she added. 'At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' My child self has caught up.'

Beyoncé and Jay-Z steal the spotlight at Louis Vuitton's Paris Fashion Week show: ‘Queen Bey effect'
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. Advertisement 4 Beyoncé and Jay-Z at the Louis Vuitton Menswear Show in Paris on June 24, 2025. Photo byAs 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. Advertisement 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. 4 Beyoncé wore a denim outfit seemingly inspired by her 'Cowboy Carter.' Photo byBeyoncé's denim look goes viral Advertisement 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. 4 The singer also wore a cowboy hat to the Louis Vuitton show. Getty Images Advertisement 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. Show, not just tell: Fashion as spectacle 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. 4 Pharrell Williams greeting Beyoncé at the show. AFP via Getty Images 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. 'Queen Bey' effect Advertisement 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. Advertisement 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. Advertisement 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. Everyone's invited now 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. Advertisement 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.

Sabrina Carpenter shares new album cover 'approved by God' after backlash over racy image
Sabrina Carpenter shared a brand-new album cover "approved by God" after the pop star received backlash over the original art. Carpenter, 26, shocked fans with the announcement of her forthcoming album. She teased "Man's Best Friend" in a post shared to Instagram. The cover featured the "Nonsense" singer on her knees with a man holding her hair. The cover art sparked immediate backlash, with many commenting their thoughts on the post. "Am I the only one who thinks this is dehumanizing for women?" one user wrote. Another added, "This cover makes me uncomfortable… especially in times like these. Absolutely tone deaf." Carpenter seemingly took in the backlash and released a new album cover. "i signed some copies of Man's Best Friend for you guys," she wrote. "& here is a new alternate cover approved by God available now on my website." The "Manchild" singer recently opened up about the discourse around her song lyrics, which often include sexual innuendos. On tour, Carpenter performed various sex positions during her song "Juno." The moments often went viral, prompting complaints online. However, Carpenter said there's more to her music than meets the eye. "It's always so funny to me when people complain," Carpenter told Rolling Stone for the June cover story. "They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it. It's in my show. There's so many more moments than the 'Juno' positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can't control that. "If you come to the show, you'll [also] hear the ballads, you'll hear the more introspective numbers. I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme. I'm not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes." Carpenter noted women in the music industry are experiencing an intense amount of scrutiny over every decision made. "I don't want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity. I'm not just talking about me," she told the outlet. "I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now." Carpenter has also been vocal about the criticism she personally receives. As she performed across the world for her album, "Short 'N Sweet," many took to social media to slam the singer's skimpy outfits. "…you'll still get the occasional mother that has a strong opinion on how you should be dressing," the "Taste" singer told TIME magazine. "And to that I just say, 'Don't come to the show,' and that's OK." "It's unfortunate that it's ever been something to criticize, because truthfully, the scariest thing in the world is getting up on a stage in front of that many people and having to perform as if it's nothing," she added. "If the one thing that helps you do that is the way you feel comfortable dressing, then that's what you've got to do." "Femininity is something that I've always embraced," she noted. "And if right now that means corsets and garter belts and fuzzy robes or whatever the f---, then that's what that means."
