Rita Ora went against tradition by proposing to Taika Waititi
Rita Ora broke from tradition by proposing to her husband Taika Waititi. The 34-year-old singer has revealed how she went against convention by getting down on one knee to propose to the Thor: Love and Thunder filmmaker as the pair holidayed in Palm Springs during the summer of 2022. Rita, who married the director in the same year, told Davina McCall's Begin Again podcast: "I just did the whole thing. We were in a hotel room in Palm Springs, like a really nice, fancy one filled up with balloons and cake, which is my favourite thing in the world. "I got the bands made, I didn't want anything too flashy. He's like, 'What the hell is it? Valentine's Day?' I was like, 'Oh no, if you're gonna say no, I'm gonna have to take my clothes off.' "Anyway, I got down on one knee, and Taika absolutely loved it." Meanwhile, Rita reflected on her relationship with her "biggest inspiration" Beyonce after she signed with the Halo hitmaker's husband Jay-Z's record label Roc Nation at the start of her music career. The Anywhere singer said: "Being signed to Jay-Z, she is my biggest inspiration. She took it upon herself to really look after me, and I still see her. "She's always been so, so nice and proud, and checking in on my family and friends I've had since childhood, remembering their names. I mean, it's crazy." Rita recently explained that music is what keeps her "alive", even though her career has gone in different directions through judging stints on TV shows such as The Masked Singer in the UK as well as acting roles in films such as Descendants: The Rise of Red. Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard at Wembley Stadium in London earlier this month, she said: "Music is what keeps me alive, to be honest. I wake up listening to music; it runs in my blood. I think we all secretly need music in so many different ways." The Heat singer described how her natural creativity is what keeps her motivated. She said: "I love working and being creative, and it keeps my blood flowing. "If I get excited, I love it - fashion, movies, music. I just need to have that excitement."

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Bring Western Fashion & Hip Hop Flair To Paris Fashion Week
Source: Edward Berthelot / Getty Paris Fashion Week just got its most viral moment—and the BeyHive knows why. Yes, the Hive is getting fed. Just days after Beyoncé closed out the European leg of her Cowboy Carter tour (with a surprise Jay-Z appearance), the superstar couple showed up at Paris Fashion Week Men's 2025. Known fans of Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams, the Carters attended LV's Spring/Summer 2026 show. Jay and Bey gave us exactly what we expected: luxury, flair, and unapologetic style. No wonder when Beyoncé and Jay-Z show up, the whole timeline watches. Beyoncé delivered her signature spin on cowboy couture, turning a classic LV denim jumpsuit into something runway-worthy. Her indigo top and relaxed-fit bottoms were elevated with a sleek leather belt, a dramatic burgundy LaQuan Smith fringe fur, a studded mini bag, black platform heels, and a bold black cowboy hat. The look screamed '16 Carriages' mixed with a little 'Jolene' and 'This Ain't Texas.' Source: Christian Vierig / Getty She kept her glam in full formation. She rocked blonde curls under the hat, soft glowing makeup, and a glossy nude lip that popped. Right beside her, Jay Z gave casual New York edge with a dash of country cool. He rocked a black bomber, black jeans, and Western-style leather shoes. The rapper mogul broke up his black-on-black with a crisp white tee and a bold silver-buckled belt. It was giving Brooklyn goes rodeo – and somehow, it worked. Social clips of Beyoncé and Jay Z walking in and settling in the front row instantly went viral. And then Pharrell gifted Bey a Louis Vuitton Mini Speedy, right off the runway. How Iconic! Louis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent kicked off Paris Men's Fashion Week with major energy. Saint Laurent made its long-awaited return to the PFW Men's runway after two and a half years. And Louis Vuitton – now Pharrell's playground – continues to lead with hype, heritage, and heat. But the viral moments belonged to Beyoncé and Jay Z because when the Carters touched down, everyone paid attention.
