Nicole Kidman
'The inspiration was a tailored short cut that brought out the essence of Dandyism on Nicole Kidman. I wanted to celebrate this year's theme by honoring the Dandies and their individuality, elegance, and confidence — where every detail is tailored to that unique person,' Abergel wrote on Instagram.
Ciara
Ciara opted for a similar version of Kidman's bob. The singer's hairstylist, Cesar Ramirez, created her look with L'Oréal Professionnel tools, including the brand's AirLight Pro, and Kérastase products.
Anderson wore a short blond bob with baby bangs, reminiscent of Joan of Arc. Her bangs were cut straight across and now sit high above her brows.
Pamela Anderson
Styled by hairstylist Mara Roszak, Saldaña showed up with a 1920s dandy bob. The hairdo was 'inspired by the tapered, sleek, tailored lines and exaggerated shapes found in signature dandy fashion,' according to Roszak.
Roszak created the look using Santa Lucia Styling Oil before blow-drying and an Evergreen Styling Cream for definition.
Zoe Saldaña
The 2025 Met Gala, held Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, featured the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' The event highlighted Black dandyism and menswear, with a 'Tailored for You' dress code. Cochairs include Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour.

Honestly didn't think about some of the dangers,' she wrote in a social media post, revealing she has since purchased a life vest for her youngest child Kardashian Barker shares Rocky with husband Travis Barker, and she is also a mom to three kids with ex Scott DisickKourtney Kardashian Barker is learning from her mistakes. The Lemme founder, 46, shared an Instagram post on Friday, Aug. 8, that included a photo of 21-month-old son Rocky Thirteen on a boat without a life vest. A day later, and after she faced backlash for the safety hazard, Kardashian Barker shared a post on her Instagram Stories, speaking out about the controversy. 'Update: bought a life vest that fits!' the mom of four wrote over a screenshot of an infant life vest. 'Good looking out. Honestly didn't think about some of the dangers,' Kardashian Barker continued. 'Thank you for making me aware and hopefully this helps make other mommies aware of the dangers of certain types of boating without a life vest.' Other images included in her Aug. 8 post indicated that Kardashian Barker was in Idaho, where it is required that children 14 years of age and younger must wear a life vest while on the water. Fans expressed concern on social media about Kardashian Barker's move to not have her youngest child wear protective gear during the boat outing. 'Great photo except for the fact the child has no life jacket on,' one person wrote in the comments section of her post. 'You can make those kinds of decisions for yourself. But don't make a decision like that for your child. PLEASE," they added. A user on Reddit said, "Rocky should be wearing a life jacket. Such dangerous neglect," as another wrote, "Kids on boats should always be wearing appropriate life vests, and it looks like it's sitting in the seat right next to them." 'C'mon Kourt. You both should be wearing life jackets ... everyone on that boat should be,' one other person commented on Instagram.

Tom Hanks, who portrayed Jim Lovell in ‘Apollo 13,' pays tribute to the late astronaut
Tom Hanks is honoring the real-life hero that he once portrayed in a popular, Oscar-winning film. After the death of astronaut Jim Lovell was announced on Friday, Hanks shared a poignant social media post to his Instagram, writing, 'There are people who dare, who dream, and who lead others to places we would not go on our own.' 'Jim Lovell, who for a long while had gone farther into space and for longer than any other person of our planet, was that kind of guy,' Hanks added in the post. The actor portrayed Lovell in the 1995 Ron Howard-directed film 'Apollo 13,' which told the story of Lovell's failed lunar space mission which almost cost him and his crew their lives in 1970. Apollo 13 would have marked NASA's third successful crewed moon landing, but during the ill-fated mission – which carried Lovell as well as astronauts John Swigert Jr. and Fred Haise Jr. on board – an oxygen tank located on the crew's service module exploded when they were about 200,000 miles (322,000 kilometers) away from Earth. Lovell famously delivered the news to mission control, saying 'Houston, we've had a problem.' The exchange was later immortalized by Hanks in the 'Apollo 13' movie, which costarred Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon, Ed Harris, Kathleen Quinlan and the late Bill Paxton. With the damage effectively taking out their power source and other life support supplies, the Apollo 13 crew had to abruptly abandon their trek to the lunar surface and use several engine burns to swing around the far side of the moon and put themselves on a course back toward Earth. The three-person crew made a high-stakes splashdown return in the South Pacific Ocean about three days after the tank explosion, marking the conclusion of what has come to be known as the 'successful failure' of the Apollo missions. 'His many voyages around Earth and on to so-very-close to the moon were not made for riches or celebrity, but because such challenges as those are what fuels the course of being alive – and who better than Jim Lovell to make those voyages,' Hanks wrote in his tribute on Friday. Lovell died at age 97 on Thursday in Lake Forest, Illinois, according to a NASA news release, CNN previously reported. The cause of death was not immediately clear. He made a brief cameo in the movie as the captain of the USS Iwo Jima, the Navy ship that recovered the Apollo 13 crew after splashdown. 'Apollo 13' was nominated for nine Oscars, including best picture, and won two, for best film editing and best sound.

Bella Astillah addresses controversy with Sophia Albarakbah: I choose to move forward
11 Aug - Bella Astillah broke her silence surrounding the controversy that sparked between her and Sophia Albarakbah, stating that she just wants to move forward. Sharing her thoughts on 9 August on Instagram, the singer, who posted a photo of her and Muar MP Syed Saddiq following their Hottest Couple Goal win at the Anugerah Melodi Terhangat, said that she is thankful to the organiser for the recognition and will think of it as an extraordinary experience. "After a week of reflection and listening to all sides, I choose to focus on the good things that came from that night and to continue moving forward. Anyway, it was your love and support that I consider the biggest gift of all," she added. Netizens have blasted TV3 and the team of Melodi, after the awards show intentionally arranged for Bella and Syed Saddiq to present the Hottest Female Celebrity award to Sophia, accusing them of using the history between the two women artistes for ratings. Fans of both stars called it a "cheap publicity" for the fact that Sophia was once romantically linked to Bella's ex-husband Aliff Aziz. (Photo Source: Bella IG, Sophia IG)
