Kid Cudi marries Lola Abecassis Sartore in France
The ceremony comes during a transformative year for the rapper, who recently revealed in court that his car was firebombed with a Molotov cocktail following a past relationship with Cassie Ventura. Now, he's celebrating love and new beginnings.
Cudi, born Scott Mescudi, met Sartore in 2018 during Virgil Abloh's debut Louis Vuitton show, a moment that sparked both a romance and creative bond. In December 2023, he proposed in Kyoto, Japan, and the couple shared the news online in April.
The wedding was filled with personal tributes, including a heartfelt performance by Cudi of two unreleased songs from his upcoming album FREE, which he says is largely inspired by Sartore. The designer wore a handcrafted lace gown by close friend Alain Paul, while Cudi donned multiple custom Saint Laurent looks, including a crystal-studded top for the after-party.
Sartore, now head of design at ERL, previously worked with Abloh and Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton. She and Cudi kept their relationship mostly private until this year, though she's been by his side through recent highs and lows.
On Instagram, Cudi called her his 'ride or die,' adding, 'Next we need this baby… not joking.'

Gisele Pelicot gets French honour
Gisele Pelicot, who became a feminist icon by publicly testifying over the mass rapes she endured, and rapper-turned-fashion designer Pharrell Williams were among 589 people awarded France's top civic honour on July 13, reported AFP. The announcement was made in France's official journal ahead of the country's national Bastille Day celebrations. Both Pelicot and Williams were both named knights of the Legion of Honour on a list announced ahead of France's July 14 national day. Pelicot, 72, earned international tributes for her courage in testifying at a French trial in 2024 against her former husband, who drugged her and arranged for her to be raped by dozens of men over a decade. Her testimony raised awareness around rape and gender-based violence, and ultimately changed rape laws in France. She has been named on lists of the world's most influential people by international media. However, Pelicot has remained silent since the trial. Her lawyer says she is concentrating on writing a book giving her side of the mass rape story, which is to be released in 2026. Meanwhile, American musician Williams, 52, made his name as a rapper and singer but earned a second fortune as a music producer and after designing clothes and accessories for several brands. He has been the Louis Vuitton men's creative director since 2023. Since joining Vuitton, Williams has relocated to Paris with his wife and four children. Williams' recent Paris show attracted a host of international celebrities, including singers Jay Z and Beyonce, film directors Steve McQueen and Spike Lee, and football and basketball stars. Actor Lea Drucker, veteran singer Sylvie Vartan, writer Marc Levy and Auschwitz deportee Yvette Levy, 99, were also among the figures awarded the Legion of Honour along with a host of former ministers, academics and top legal names.

Rihanna's son Riot steals the spotlight in custom Dior at 'Smurfs' LA premiere
Rihanna's 23-moth old son, Riot Rose Mayers, made a standout fashion statement at the Smurfs Los Angeles premiere , wearing a custom Dior look designed especially for the occasion. The toddler accompanied his mother and older brother RZA at the Paramount Theater, as she celebrated her voice role as Smurfette in the new animated film. While Rihanna stunned in a chocolate brown Saint Laurent ensemble, complete with a lace-trimmed top, leather jacket, and full skirt, it was Riot who caught attention with his designer outfit. The look featured a mini tailored green jacket and trousers from the Spring 2026 Dior Men collection by Jonathan Anderson, making him one of the youngest stars to wear a couture piece on a major red carpet. The event was a family affair as the pregnant singer walked the carpet with both children. Her partner, A$AP Rocky, was not in attendance for the LA premiere, though the couple appeared together at the world premiere in Brussels last month. During the Los Angeles event, Riot and RZA also had a moment with Papa Smurf, taking part in the film's character meet-and-greet as cameras captured the scene. Rihanna recently released a track titled 'Friend of Mine' and has hinted at more new material. In the Smurfs movie, she leads the voice cast alongside James Corden, Nick Offerman, Amy Sedaris, Daniel Levy, Sandra Oh, Octavia Spencer, and others.
