Rihanna shines at A$AP Rocky's Paris Fashion Week show
Rihanna turned heads at Paris Men's Fashion Week on Friday as she supported her partner, A$AP Rocky, at his AWGE fashion show. The Barbadian superstar, who is expecting her third child, brought along her 10-month-old son, Riot Rose. Rihanna, 37, made motherhood look effortless as she wore a bold, colourful button-up shirt with a striking red sleeve and blue striped centre. She paired it with a navy tennis skirt, tall grey socks, and white lacy slingback heels. A bright yellow tote and gold jewellery completed her look. Her hair fell in loose curls, and she opted for a natural makeup style, according to Page Six. Speaking to reporters, Rihanna said, 'Being a mum is my greatest joy. I want my kids to see me doing what I love and to be part of these moments.' Riot Rose, dressed in a black moto jacket with a Harley-Davidson patch, white shirt, and purple joggers, melted hearts. He finished the look with baby Vans sneakers and tall white socks. His hair was styled in neat braids. Cameras caught the little one waving shyly before turning away from the flashes. A$AP Rocky, 36, beamed as his family cheered him on. The couple, who also have a son named RZA (born May 2022), looked relaxed and happy. Earlier that day, the family attended Dior's Homme men's spring 2026 show, sitting front row. For Dior, Rihanna wore a black cape with floral embroidery and a contrasting turquoise and orange lining. She layered it over a mint green blazer and white shirt, finishing with slouchy grey trousers. She accessorised with yellow-tinted sunglasses and sparkling jewellery. Rocky wore a light blue shirt, dark jeans, and a bold, colourful tie. He carried a beige fringe bag with matching tassels. Both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are known for their trendsetting style. Their presence at Paris Fashion Week was a highlight for many who admire their creativity and family values. As Rihanna prepares to welcome her third child, she continues to inspire fans worldwide. Her message is clear: family and passion can go hand in hand. 'Family is everything to me,' Rihanna shared. 'I hope my children grow up knowing they can achieve anything.'

Lauren Sánchez's wedding dress steals the show in Venice
Lauren Sánchez dazzled guests and fashion watchers alike when she wed Jeff Bezos in Venice on Friday. The ceremony, held on the historic island of San Giorgio Maggiore, was the centrepiece of a three-day celebration. The ceremony drew in celebrities, royalty, and global attention. Sánchez chose a custom Dolce & Gabbana gown for her wedding. The dress was inspired by the high-necked lace gown worn by Sophia Loren in the 1958 film Houseboat . 'I wanted something that evokes a moment, and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,' Sánchez, according to Page Six. Lauren Sánchez added, 'I researched pictures of brides in the 1950s. I saw Sophia Loren, and her hands were in a prayer position. She was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, 'That's it. That's the dress.' The gown featured: A high turtleneck and long sleeves A corseted waist, accentuating Sánchez's figure 180 silk chiffon-covered buttons running from neck to floor Hand-appliquéd Italian lace throughout A mermaid-style skirt with a dramatic train A lace-trimmed veil, worn over a sleek bun Sánchez completed her look with Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings. The earrings featured four diamonds cut from a single stone and set in white gold as her 'something borrowed'. Sánchez admitted that her choice was unexpected. 'It is a departure from what people expect—from what I expect—but it's very much me,' she said. Lauren Sánchez kept the dress a secret from Bezos until the day of the ceremony. 'As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face,' she told Vogue . The wedding was not just a single-dress affair. For the wedding dinner, Sánchez changed into a second corseted gown inspired by Rita Hayworth's iconic look in Gilda . Later, she donned an Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress adorned with 175,000 crystals for the party. Dolce & Gabbana was a meaningful choice for Sánchez. Her son, Nikko Gonzalez, made his modelling debut for the brand earlier this year. Lauren Sánchez herself has attended their shows, often seated in the front row. The wedding's estimated cost was around $50 million—about R900 million—making it one of the most expensive celebrity weddings in recent memory.

Taylor Swift reportedly paid jaw-dropping amount to buy back her masters
Taylor Swift, who became a billionaire last year, reportedly paid a jaw-dropping amount to buy back her master recordings. Sources told Billboard Friday that Shamrock Capital sold Swift's catalog to her for around $360 million, which is relatively close to what the private equity firm paid for it in 2020. Reps for the singer-songwriter did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. Retired music manager Scooter Braun bought the rights to Swift's first six albums — 'Taylor Swift,' 'Fearless,' 'Speak Now,' 'Red,' '1989' and 'Reputation' — in 2019 when his company Ithica Holdings acquired her former label Big Machine Records. The following year, he sold her masters to Shamrock. 'Scooter has stripped me of my life's work, that I wasn't given an opportunity to buy,' a 'sad and grossed out' Swift lamented at the time, calling Braun a 'bully.'In 2021, the Grammy winner began re-recording and re-releasing her albums as a way of reclaiming ownership over her songs. But earlier Friday, she announced via her website that she was able to buy back all of her original music. 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow,' the 35-year-old began her note, which was formatted like a handwritten letter. 'A flashback sequence of all the time I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through.' Swift admitted that she 'almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now.' She marveled, 'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made … now belongs … to me.' As for her highly anticipated 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' album — one of the two she has yet to re-release — the pop superstar confessed to her fans that she hasn't 'even re-recorded a quarter of it.' However, she did note that 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' and her self-titled debut album 'can still have their moment to re-emerge when the time is right.' Shortly after Swift's big announcement, Braun, 43, told Page Six he's 'happy for her.'

Justin Bieber's Inner Circle is ‘Deeply Concerned About His Behavior,' Says Source
It was supposed to be a happy occasion filled with gifts, homemade cards and a nice meal. Instead, Justin Bieber spent much of his first Father's Day as a dad flooding his Instagram with cryptic rants on his personal account. His initial post featured a close-up selfie with a middle finger graphic and a caption reading, 'I'm a dad that's not to be f**ked with.' He went on to share images of his wife, Hailey, holding their 10-month-old son, Jack, at a piano, then posted a heated text exchange between him and a former friend in which he cut the pal off, writing, 'this friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out.' In between posts featuring a bong and what appeared to be a marijuana joint, he shared an emotional note that read: 'People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I'm broken.' As the rants went on and on, fans continued to express concern in the comments section. But no one is more worried about the 31-year-old 'Peaches' singer than those closest to him, including his wife of nearly seven years. 'Everyone in Justin's world is deeply concerned about his behavior,' a source tells Star. 'It's as unpredictable and worrisome as it's ever been.' Indeed, Justin's flurry of unhinged Instagram messages comes on the heels of his June 12 altercation with paparazzi. In footage obtained by Page Six, the former child star engaged in a yelling match with photographers outside of Malibu hotspot Soho House. As Star previously reported, Hailey, 28 — whose recent $1 billion sale of her beauty brand Rhode has been overshadowed by Justin's behavior — wants him to get professional help, stat. 'It seems inevitable he'll need to seek help and do so fast,' says the source. 'The path he's currently on is toxic and totally untenable.' The Canadian singer began spiraling earlier this year. There was speculation he was on drugs following his February appearance at a Rhode event with Hailey, where he was seen swaying and smiling strangely. (His rep denied the reports to TMZ.) In a March Instagram post, he mused about his 'anger issues' and said, 'I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic.' The following month, Page Six reported on a video circulating on social media that showed him looking dazed and smoking what appeared to be marijuana while attending the Coachella music festival in Indio, Calif. Also in April, The Hollywood Reporter published a story about his involvement with the non-denominational Christian community Churchome, and TMZ reported his former best friend Ryan Good believes the star is in a cult. (In a since-deleted post shared on Instagram in April via People, Justin announced that he was no longer affiliated with his clothing brand Drew House, which he cofounded with Ryan.) The source says the pressure and isolation that come with fame have worn Justin down. 'He's been performing since he was a kid and used as a vehicle to make money for people in the industry, which has taken a mounting toll on him for years now,' says the source. Justin previously vented about his struggles in a 2019 Instagram post, revealing he suffered from severe depression and that he'd started doing 'pretty heavy drugs' at age 19, writing, 'I was hiding behind a shell of a person that I had become.' Hailey is overwhelmed. 'She's in the middle of this huge business deal and trying to take care of baby Jack,' says the source. 'All she wants right now is a calm and peaceful life.' It's been anything but since they tied the knot. In 2022, she even told Harper's Bazaar their marriage 'does take a lot of work.' Says the source: 'Hailey's strong, but she's finding it hard to keep making excuses for Justin.' It doesn't help that he's shutting everyone out. As Hailey encourages him to get help, she doesn't want to push him too far. 'The way he's turning on people who stand up to him has Hailey worried he'll do the same to her and walk away from their marriage,' says the source, noting that while Justin has checked in with his pastor and spiritual advisor Judah Smith, any words of wisdom are falling on deaf ears. 'Some of Justin's lifestyle choices — like smoking copious amounts of weed — are making it impossible for him to process advice clearly.' They're not giving up on him yet. 'It's a painful time, but Justin has a lot of people in his world who care about him deeply,' says the source, 'and they will be there no matter what.'

‘And Just Like That' Costume Designer Defends Carrie's Giant Hat
If you're still waiting for an apology for Carrie's awful, no good, very bad Strawberry Shortcake hat on And Just Like That..., it might be time to reset expectations. This is Sex and the City we're talking about, after all, and just weeks after Sarah Jessica Parker defended the giant hat, the And Just Like That costume designers are speaking out, with one even admitting they were 'annoyed' by the backlash. Co-costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago knew that the enormous, oversized, gingham bonnet Carrie wears in the season 3 premiere of And Just Like That... would be controversial. 'We knew they would come for us,' Molly said in a new interview with Page Six. 'That kind of annoyed me, because I think, at this point we're all a big family, we all watch the show, we know what it is,' she added of the immediate backlash and comparisons to Strawberry Shortcake. 'That fazes you?' To be fair, Molly has a point. The hat is far from the most outrageous accessory Carrie has ever worn. Let's face it, it's probably not even in the top 5 (hello pigeon purse!). Still, it's hard to deny that the hat, designed by Maryam Keyhani, feels extremely Strawberry Shortcake coded, and therefore a bit ridiculous. Despite standing by the hat, the costume designers also made clear that if anyone is to blame for it, it's Sarah herself. 'She grabbed it. It was on a table and she grabbed it,' Danny told Page Six. 'She went to the table, looked in the mirror, and was like, 'I love it. We have to do it.'' 'I saw the hat and wanted it on my head,' Sarah previously said in an interview with USA Today. 'At this point, there's no pretend dilly-dallying around. We pretty much just put stuff on my head and photograph it, and hope that [showrunner] Michael Patrick [King] is hospitable to the idea.' Michael Patrick, meanwhile, called the hat 'the Hindenburg hot-balloon,' but told USA Today that the accessory was the perfect way to kick off season 3. 'It's like, 'Hey, everybody, we're back! Here's a hat Carrie would wear eating sherbet in Washington Square Park. Why not?''
