Beyoncé and Jay-Z steal the spotlight at Louis Vuitton's Paris Fashion Week show: ‘Queen Bey effect'
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

I have used multiple degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The magic eraser was ok but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" —May Get it from Amazon for $5.97. A patented pet hair remover if Fido's shedding is taking over your home. This roller uses bristles, not sticky tape, to catch lint, meaning you can clean and reuse it over and over and over again.

No more sticky tape rollers!" —Blanca LInda HatterGet it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors). An immunity-boosting allergy supplement because your dog deserves a day in the park without suffering from itchy allergies later.

Promising review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life!

An Acure brightening facial scrub that de-gunks pores with a combination of French green clay, sea kelp, and Madonna lily that delivers soft, glowy results while still being gentle enough to use several times a week. A pack of Downy fabric spray so you can rock wrinkle-free fits even when there's no time (or energy) to break out the iron. Just spray, give your clothes a few swipes, and watch the wrinkles rapidly fall away. I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.99. A nail strengthening cream if you hate deciding between eye-popping manicure prices or sporting short, brittle nails that are constantly chipping.

Promising review: "I thought this would be handy and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean, and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side by side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it's just as handy and useful." —MagpieGet it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three sizes). A stain remover spray to revive fabrics you thought were a lost cause with plant-based ingredients that are safe to use on everything from clothing and car seats to bed linens and cloth diapers. Check out our full Puracy Natural Stain Remover review: "This is by far the best stain remover I've used yet. I have a 1-year-old, and I've been treating his clothes since he started solids around six months. This stain remover has never failed me. It's even gotten crayon out of a Kyte sleep sack that was washed with a crayon. I treated it after I discovered it and let it sit for an hour then washed it and it all came out. It's my go-to baby shower gift for new moms and I love that its clean ingredients. Puracy, you have a forever customer!" —Hannah WeberGet it from Amazon for $13.99. An affordable teeth-whitening pen because traditional strips are tough to use, expensive, and can leave you with teeth sensitivity that is, in my professional opinion, NO fun. This pen requires just ONE minute of daily use to get teeth that are four to eight shades whiter. The best part? No lingering sensitivity. Promising review: "Love that this product does not leave sticky residue like other whitening products I've done in the past. Only been using for a few days but there is already noticeable results and brightening!" —SuzanaGet a three-pack from Amazon for $15.99.

After handling all that grossness, it's had no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95+ (available in two sizes). A tub of rejuvenating eye cream for tightening, brightening, and lifting those tired eyes and making it look like you actually got enough sleep and didn't stay up late rewatching The Promising review: "I never ever write reviews.

This handy tool will do a better cleaning job than your fingers ever could, with a pointed end for picking out tangles and stiff bristles to remove all that built-up hair, dust, and fluff. Promising review: "This is the tool I never knew I needed. It may seem like a silly thing to spend money on when you can clean your brush out by hand but this gets so much more out of the brush! It's easy and rather enjoyable. Who wants to brush their nice clean hair with a brush full of dirty, oily hair and dust. When you really think about it makes you want to throw out all your old brushes. I will be buying these as gifts for all my girlfriends." —emmalineGet it from Amazon for $11.95. A box of waterproof medicated pads you apply like bandages to help force out the wart residing under your skin like a gross butterfly emerging from its cocoon. Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. Went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn't completely remove the wart so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped but not for too long and the wart came back (in a couple days). Long story short, I got these medicated bandages and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these bandages every day for a week, and the next week my wart is gone. So far it's been a week after and I haven't noticed any growth. Highly recommend!" —JGet a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in two pack sizes). Dishwasher cleaning tablets because (to my shock and horror) you have to clean the thing that cleans your dishes, and these tablets make doing so as quick and easy the dishwasher. Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I used it in my dishwasher. Had standing water on the bottom, dropped one tablet in the water. Put it on light wash cycle and at the end of the cycle, the water was gone! It thoroughly cleans and I have not had any other problems. I now use it regularly. I recommend this highly to keep your dishwasher clean and eliminate clogs from buildup. It was recommended to me by my super and after my positive experience I am happy to cosign his recommendation." —cheapchicshopperGet a six-pack from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in two pack sizes).

I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and rub... Make sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." —Paul WederoGet it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes). A vegan exfoliating body scrub so you can buff away bumps by combining the benefits of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into one gentle, at-home treatment. If you struggle with persistent KP, you'll want to give this scrub a try. Promising review: "So I have keratosis pilaris on my bum and have always been super self-conscious about it. I've used this product five to eight times and they are seriously like GONE. It's soooo smooth now and I'm super happy. It does say to use once a week but I've just been using it every time I shower (which is almost every day LOL). I only use a dime-size amount and it's able to cover my bum and some of my legs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who also has pesky bumps on their body. Also, this product has no scent, which is a plus for anyone who has sensitive skin!!" —Ang MGet it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three scents and two sizes).

A variety pack of LED light-blocking stickers if your alarm clock isn't just waking you up, but keeping you up. These peel-and-stick dimmers are great for reducing the harsh light on digital clocks, routers, chargers, and more! Promising review: "Works as advertised. Didn't realize how badly I needed these in my life! I have a media PC in my living room under my TV and directly across from the main couch. The LED is extremely bright and obnoxious, especially in low-light situations. One of these dimmed the LED the perfect amount, and I can definitely still see that the PC is on, but without the annoying blue beacon that can be seen from space. The variety of options included guarantee that you should have the correct size to dim whatever LEDs you have. Highly recommend." —IPman501Get a variety pack from Amazon for $4.49. A machine cleaner-compatible carpet shampoo solution to return your floors and rugs to their original color without any toxic chemicals. FYI: This cleaner is only for use in carpet cleaning machines. Here's the one they are using in the review photo!Promising review: "I never leave reviews but this I had to! I have 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up! I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I've used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn't! It smelled great the whole time! I'm hooked!!" —Megan DavisGet it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents). A suede and nubuck cleaning brush because anyone who hasn't accidentally got caught in the rain while wearing a pair of suede shoes is lying. This brush will diminish the look of water stains with no additional cleaners required so you and your favorite shoes can reunite for another (hopefully drier) outing. Shacke is a small manufacturer based out of Baldwin Park, California creating useful travel products like packing cubes and luggage can totally use it with another cleaner or spray if you want, but it seems like reviewers have success without it! It just takes some elbow review: "I am very impressed with this product. I was new to suede shoes and instantly regretted buying a gray-colored shoed once I got them dirty. Luckily I found this lovely thing. Very easy to use, straightforward packet comes with it that tells you which sides to use and when. I would definitely recommend this since you invest so much in those shoes you might as well keep them nice and clean!" —Celeste Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in six styles). A powerful mold and mildew stain cleaner that'll lift the most daunting grout and caulking stains without the back-breaking scrubbing. Just apply the concentrated gel formula, wait six to eight hours, and wipe it off to reveal the pearly white grout you never thought you'd see again. Promising review: "This product worked amazingly well!! It says to apply on a dry surface and let sit five to six hours. My shower wasn't totally dry and after three hours, the once dirty caulking was perfectly white again. I was a little skeptical, but this is my new holy grail cleaning product. I wish I could give it more stars. Just awesome!" —Carl OviedoGet it from Amazon for $14.99. An all-in-one hot air brush so you can style, dry, and volumize hair in one easy step. This gadget combines the heat of a blowdryer with the shape and bristles of a round brush to make at-home blowouts a breeze. Promising review: "I have very thick, wavy hair. I can never blow out my hair because it's too hard to hold the round brush and hair dryer in the right spots. THIS!! It is everything all in one and the oval shape makes it so easy to use. It gets really hot. It is a little loud on high, but I've found if my hair is already a little dry then I can just use it on low. I used a blow-dry primer spray to accelerate the drying time and protect my hair. I'm in love! The flat iron always flattens my hair and makes it look dry. This straightens and retains the volume and gives it a soft, nondamaged look." —SAHM2011Get it from Amazon for $29.49+ (available in three styles and a mix of colors).Some reviewers with 4a–c curls like the barrel brush, but if you're looking for something to blow out tighter curls or coils considering checking out the Revlon one-step paddle brush, which is designed with curlier hair in mind! A stainless-steel foot file for finally scraping away the years-old calluses your regular pumice stone could never quite handle. Now go forth and become the foot model you were always born to be. Promising review: "THIS FOOT FILE IS LIFE CHANGING. I have lived with calloused feet for the last 15 years of my life from all through high school doing sports and now just doing everyday exercise. Through pedicures, other foot files I've tried, and basically everything...I have finally found my godsend of a foot file. My feet have never been softer and it has stayed soft for significantly longer than any other foot file I've ever used. I will literally never use another foot file, ever." —Sally Get it from Amazon for $9.99. An easy-to-use collagen-coating hair mask to fight frizz and make it look like your hair hasn't undergone years of abuse at the hands of bleach and blow-dryers.

Shocking "SpongeBob" Truth That Ruins Childhoods
It's pretty earth-shattering to realise something cooked about your favourite childhood shows, especially when there's something involved. In the words of one of the most iconic theme songs of the 21st century, "Are you ready kids?" To sum up the realisation — Choppa put crab meat on a burger and finally understood why Mr. Krabs was gatekeeping the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. The money-hungry restaurant mogul would put his own species (crabs) into burgers to "make a killing on the expensive market-priced delicacy". Chilling stuff. This would explain why we don't really see other crabs on the show beside the group known as the Penny Pinchers. But it wasn't just this revelation that stunned viewers — the comments on the video were a cocktail of mind-blowing observations and sea creature knowledge that added to the further destruction of our childhoods. Here are the comments that made us question everything: "The Krusty Krab is literally a crab trap", so obviously that explains everything! —TikTok/@xxladysithxx "Squidward was so addicted to [Krabby Patties], because a cephalopod's favourite food is crab meat." —TikTok/@chibara01 "If you remember the 'Respect Your Elders' episode, Krabs literally has a graveyard of all his family outside the Krusty Krab." —TikTok/@graysonalexander99 "[Mr Krabs] was the only crab and when others came, they disappeared." —TikTok/@user064382357 "I watched a four-hour deep dive into Spongebob and a theory is that the secret recipe was whale meat — when they pass they can be used as a food source to fish for decades, and Mr Krabs was saving Pearl for the next time he ran out of stock." —TikTok/@user173869011 "Some crabs can regrow claws, so technically they are sustainable as long as you're using specific crabs." —TikTok/@jesselazard "Spongebob knew and helped him cover it up." —TikTok/@somosogo And finally, "There's an episode where Mr. Krabs finally tastes a Krabby Patty and was like, ' that's what I taste like'." —TikTok/@xxladysithxx This entire think really makes you think — is Plankton really the villain, or is he just trying to stop injustice?
