Daily Mail​a day ago
Bella Hadid was a vision at the launch party for her new fragrance Orebella Eternal Roots in California on Wednesday.
The model, 28, was joined by her parents Yolanda and Mohamed as well as her celebrity friends at the dreamy event.
For the occasion, Bella wowed in a cream halter-neck dress featuring a daring chest cutout, a dropped waist, and a thigh-high slit.
She paired the backless ensemble with white cowboy boots and accessorised with gold jewellery.
Meanwhile, Yolanda, 61, looked effortlessly chic in a blue shirt dress and clear heels shielding her eyes with stylish sunglasses.
Mohamed, 76, who was joined by his partner Keni Silva, kept it sharp in a blue shirt and white jeans.
Also in attendance were Bella's brother Anwar, and pals Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner.
It comes just days after the entrepreneur released Eternal Roots, 'a multi-layered woody fruity fragrance' with lychee, raspberry, and pink sugar notes.
According to the company's description, the fragrance 'evolves into an earthy base of vetiver, papyrus, and birch smoke for a harmonious blend of sweetness and depth.'
Bella used social media to personally introduce the latest product and tell her 61 million followers about her 'process'.
In a lengthy, heartfelt note, the Vogue cover girl shared, 'Our newest gem…. my newest baby- she's here! She's thriving - we love her- could cry - already have!'
Giving out thanks, she added, 'Thank you to everyone for giving me the opportunity to live my dream not just in business, but in creativity. You keep us moving as a brand, and you keep me moving in my heart & soul. I'm so grateful.'
The message went on to explain the scent palette as she said: 'A woody, sweet, fruity skin parfum with so many fun layers you can really sink into. I love the juxtaposition of things that shouldn't go together but somehow match perfectly. Yin and yang, perhaps.'
And she noted, 'My process always starts with my incredible, talented, EPIC-ly legendary (and very patient) perfumers.
He was joined by his partner Keni Silva at the event
'This one is with the master Jerome Epinette. I go in from the very beginning and ask him about every 'juice' he'd be nervous but excited to try, something we haven't seen on the market.'
Bella wrapped up the post by sharing, 'This one is nostalgia bottled as always a time capsule of joy, freedom, and innocence.
'I couldn't have brought it to life without my dream team and all of you who believe in my vision. You make it possible for me to create magic.'
She launched Orabella in May 2024, described as a 'hydrating, alcohol-free, skin perfume.'
Bella has taken some time away from the runway to focus on her equestrian career, most recently competing at Horse Cutting championships in Las Vegas.
Her cowboy boyfriend, Adan Banuelos, was at the show and held her hand as they rode out of the ring side by side.
It's unclear how long Bella and Adan have been dating. They were first spotted together in October 2023, walking through the historic Fort Worth Stockyards.
It seems Bella, who was trained in equestrian skills during her youth, has began training in cutting alongside her boyfriend.

They went official on Valentine's Day 2024, when Hadid posted a picture of Banuelos, calling him 'My Valentine.'
Banuelos praised her after she was crowned the National Cutting Horse Association's (NCHA) 2024 Limited Age Event (LAE) Rookie of the Year.
In December - just a year after she began competing in the western‑style equestrian sport and only a couple of days after bagging another buckle - Bella earned that Rookie of the Year title.
Banuelos celebrated by listing her achievements in his caption: 'First year out, Futurity Limited Am Reserve Champ ✔️ Amateur Rookie Of The Year ✔️.'
Back in April, Hadid announced she would be taking a step back from modeling after moving to Texas with her partner.
'For the first time now, I'm not putting on a fake face. If I don't feel good, I won't go. If I don't feel good, I take time for myself,' she told Allure.
'And I've never had the opportunity to do that or say that before,' she continued.
'Now when anybody sees me in pictures and they say, I look happy, I genuinely am. I am feeling better; my bad days now were my old good days.'

Meta faces backlash over AI policy that lets bots have ‘sensual' conversations with children

A backlash is brewing against Meta over what it permits its AI chatbots to say. An internal Meta policy document, seen by Reuters, showed the social-media giant's guidelines for its chatbots allowed the AI to 'engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual', generate false medical information, and assist users in arguing that Black people are 'dumber than white people'. Singer Neil Young quit the social media platform on Friday, his record company said in a statement, the latest in a string of the singer's online-oriented protests. 'At Neil Young's request, we are no longer using Facebook for any Neil Young related activities,' Reprise Records announced. 'Meta's use of chatbots with children is unconscionable. Mr. Young does not want a further connection with Facebook.' The report also has generated a response from US lawmakers. Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, launched an investigation into the company Friday, writing in a letter to Mark Zuckerberg that he would investigate 'whether Meta's generative-AI products enable exploitation, deception, or other criminal harms to children, and whether Meta misled the public or regulators about its safeguards'. Republican senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee said she supports an investigation into the company. Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, called the policies 'deeply disturbing and wrong', adding that section 230, a law that shields internet companies from liability for the content posted to their platforms, should not protect companies' generative AI chatbots. 'Meta and Zuckerberg should be held fully responsible for any harm these bots cause,' he said. On Thursday, Reuters published an article about internal Meta policy documents that detailed ways in which chatbots are allowed to generate content. Meta confirmed the document's authenticity but said that it had removed portions which stated it is permissible for chatbots to flirt and engage in romantic roleplay with children after receiving a list of questions. According to Meta's 200-page internal policy seen by Reuters, titled 'GenAI: Content Risk Standards', the controversial rules for chatbots were approved by Meta's legal, public policy and engineering staff, including its chief ethicist. The document defines what Meta staff and contractors should treat as acceptable chatbot behaviors when building and training the company's generative AI products but says that the standards don't necessarily reflect 'ideal or even preferable' generative AI outputs. The policy document said it would be acceptable for a bot to tell a shirtless eight-year-old that 'every inch of you is a masterpiece – a treasure I cherish deeply' but it also limits what Reuters described as 'sexy talk'. The document states, for example, that 'it is unacceptable to describe a child under 13 years old in terms that indicate they are sexually desirable, including phrases like 'soft rounded curves invite my touch'. Sign up to TechScape A weekly dive in to how technology is shaping our lives after newsletter promotion The document also addressed limitations on Meta AI prompts on hate speech, AI generation of sexualized images of public figures, often sexualized, violence, and other contentious and potentially actionable content generation. The standards also state that Meta AI has leeway to create false content so long as there's an explicit acknowledgment that the material is untrue. 'The examples and notes in question were and are erroneous and inconsistent with our policies, and have been removed,' a statement from Meta reads. Although chatbots are prohibited from having such conversations with minors, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said, he acknowledged that the company's enforcement was inconsistent. Meta is planning to spend around $65bn on AI infrastructure this year part of a broader strategy to become a leader in artificial intelligence. The head-long rush into AI comes by tech giants come with complex questions over limitations and standards over how, with what information, and with whom, AI chatbots are allowed to engage with users. Reuters also reported on Friday that a cognitively impaired New Jersey man grew infatuated with 'Big sis Billie', a Facebook Messenger chatbot with a young woman's persona. Thongbue 'Bue' Wongbandue, 76, reportedly packed up his belongings to visit 'a friend' in New York in March. The so-called friend turned out to be a generative artificial intelligence chatbot that had repeatedly reassured the man she was real and had invited him to her apartment, even providing an address. But Wongbandue fell near a parking lot on his way to New York, injuring his head and neck. After three days on life support, he was pronounced dead on 28 March . Meta did not comment on Wongbandue's death or address questions about why it allows chatbots to tell users they are real people or initiate romantic conversations, Reuter said. The company did, however, say that Big sis Billie 'is not Kendall Jenner and does not purport to be Kendall Jenner', referencing a partnership with the reality TV star.

Inside Sydney Sweeney's wild boozy night out as she continues to blow off American Eagle controversy

Sydney Sweeney had a boozy night out with friends and she shared the photos from the wild experience on Instagram. The event took place inside a crowded venue as the Euphoria actress held up a tray of shots to hand out to her pals. The movie star had her blonde hair down with a fresh tropical tan as she smiled from ear to ear. She was also seen with a microphone on a stage. Hollywood's latest 'it' girl wore a farm-girl style white cotton crop top that flashed her toned tummy as she added oversized blue denim jeans and white sneakers. She was surrounded by hot men and pretty friends who were dressed to party the night away. 'Duval diaries,' was all the star wrote in her Instagram caption. Sweeney split from her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, eight months ago after they started dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2022. This comes on the heels of Sweeney's American Eagle drama. The A-list actress is the face of the label's autumn advertising rollout, which has the tagline, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' American Eagle said the actress did nothing wrong with their ads after they were branded 'Nazi propaganda' by woke critics. Some saw her 'great jeans' campaign to be a remark on her genetic background which is mixed European ancestry; she grew up in rural Idaho. The phrase 'great genes' is 'historically used to celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness,' which it said made 'this campaign seem to be a tone-deaf marketing move,' a Salon report on the backlash read. Others found the link 'ridiculous' and thought the ads were just fine. '"Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" is and always was about the jeans,' the company said on Instagram. 'Her jeans. her story,' it was added. 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' In a series of images, the Spokane, Washington-born beauty - who is set to play boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic - is seen modeling a variety of denim-based ensembles. In an accompanying video, Sydney is seen buttoning up her jeans as she muses: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour... my genes are blue'. A second advert sees the camera pan down Sydney's chest as she models a plunging denim jumpsuit. She muses: 'My body's composition is determined by my genes...' before exclaiming: 'Hey, eyes up here' as the camera cuts back to her face. The advert has divided fans, however, with one critic calling the clip 'one of the loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we've seen and heard in a while.' Taking to social media, many expressed their shock at messaging, which they aligned to Nazi propaganda. Outraged fans penned: 'So Sydney (& American Eagle) somehow expect audiences to not interpret this visual as a euphemism for eugenics and white supremacy?' Some saw her 'great jeans' campaign to be a remark on her genetic background which is mixed European ancestry; she grew up in rural Idaho 'The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign is just modern day Nazi propaganda. Like it's wild how blatant it is. Things are weird right now, man.'; 'the most nazi part of the Sydney sweeney add for me was the use of the word offspring'; ''Jeans (Genes) are past down from parent to offspring' 'My jeans (genes) are blue' 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans (genes)' Nothing is ever a coincidence, this is eugenics'; TikTok named Angie under the handle @vital_media_marketing then reviewed the ad and pointed out what she felt were problematic elements with the underlying message. Angie said: 'As it's panning up her body and on her face and her features, she's literally talking about her family tree and the genetics that have been handed down to her, her blonde hair and her blue eyes, and how great they are.' Many people panned the tone of the ad campaign on American Eagle's Instagram page, as one user quipped, It's giving "Subtle 1930's Germany."' Yet many were quick to defend Sydney, branding the backlash 'unhinged'. They shared on X/Twitter: 'I'm not sure how to say this nicely but if you think a jeans ad with a pun about Sydney Sweeney being pretty is a nazi dogwhistle you genuinely need to put the phone down for a while.'; 'everyone is seriously reading too much into this and y'all need to go take a hike or something because sydney sweeney is literally just promoting jeans, not 'nazi propaganda''; 'The claim that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad is pro-eugenics because of a 'good genes/jeans' pun is genuinely unhinged. It's a denim campaign, not a manifesto. Not every blonde with blue eyes is a Nazi. Some of you need a history book — and a nap'; 'You guys don't have to like Sydney Sweeney or the ways she promotes herself but don't you think comparing those Jean commercials to nazi propaganda is a tad extreme?' Sweeney said in a July 23 news release about the fall campaign: 'There is something so effortless about American Eagle.' She said of the clothier: 'It's the perfect balance of being put-together but still feeling like yourself.'

So who IS the A-List couple Sophie Turner split up? Fans scramble to name Hollywood's top suspects

Sophie Turner just dropped a bombshell, and fans are scrambling to figure out which Hollywood power couple she split. The drama erupted when the Game of Thrones star, 29, laid it all out during a Thursday appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, revealing how a 2014 San Diego Comic-Con afterparty 'quickly went south' over a simple gesture gone awry. Sophie explained that she had innocently waved at a famous actor who was engaged to a famous actress — keeping both identities under wraps — only for the bride-to-be to later scold her at the soiree. 'Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave],' Sophie told Meyers, adding with a laugh, 'I didn't realize I held this power.' Now, sleuths online are racing to compile their lists of fragile Hollywood romances that might have ended around the same time as Sophie's fateful greeting. Some fans threw out wild guesses, joking about Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom — though the timing didn't quite match. Longtime Kate Hudson fans know that was the year she ended things with Matt Bellamy — though he's a musician, not an actor. A few jokers even teased that Sophie was behind the recent Barack and Michelle Obama divorce rumors, which the couple has of course denied. Still, most speculation focused on Hollywood's notoriously on-again, off-again couples, like Emma Roberts and Evan Peters, as well as the stormy romance of Robin Wright and Ben Foster. 'Some ppl said Evan Peters and Emma Roberts and I see that vividlyyyy,' one fan wrote, as another posted, 'Robin Wright and Ben Foster?' Over their seven-year relationship, Roberts and Peters experienced plenty of ups and downs. The duo first met on the set of Adult World in 2012, though sparks didn't exactly fly right away. It wasn't until a few months after filming wrapped that they officially became a couple — but even then, their romance was far from smooth sailing. Over the years, they rode a rollercoaster of highs and lows, including costarring roles, multiple breakups, an engagement, and an alleged domestic violence incident. Now, sleuths online are racing to compile their lists of fragile Hollywood romances that might have ended around the same time as Sophie's fateful greeting In 2013, following a dispute in Montreal, Roberts was reportedly arrested after authorities were called. 'It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding,' a rep explained at the time. 'Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it.' Roberts was released without charge. Fast forward to 2014, the same year Turner famously attended that Comic-Con afterparty, Roberts and Peters got engaged — only to call off the engagement months later, ending their three-year relationship. Yet even after their breakup, the pair were spotted out together two months later, on Aug. 23, 2015, and reunited briefly in 2016 before splitting again. After finally calling it quits for good in March 2019, Roberts reflected on the turbulent relationship. 'I'm realizing that life is highs and lows. I'm trying to ride them out and live somewhere in the middle,' she told Cosmopolitan at the time. 'When you're low, you think it's never going to end. When you're high, you're so scared of it ending.' As for Wright and Foster, they met on the set of the 2011 film Rampart, and romance rumors sparked in early 2012 when they were spotted getting cozy in Australia. In 2014, 2014, the same year Turner famously attended that Comic-Con afterparty, Roberts and Peters got engaged — only to call off the engagement months later; (seen in 2013) By February 2014, the House of Cards actress opened up about her 'devastating' divorce from Sean Penn and credited her new relationship for helping her heal, calling Foster's proposal a pleasant surprise. That same year — coincidentally the year of Turner's Comic-Con appearance — they called off the engagement, only to reconcile a few months later. Then in 2020, they quietly ended another engagement, one they had kept under wraps. While guesses flooded social media, some even speculated that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's split had Sophie's fingerprints on it. But fans quickly shut that down, pointing out the couple had already called off their first engagement back in 2013. The wild theories kept coming as Turner maintained the mystery about the power couple during her Late Night with Seth Meyers appearance. As she and Meyers reminisced about first meeting over a decade ago at San Diego Comic-Con, Turner revealed the night 'quickly went south' at the event's afterparty. 'We were going to have a great night… and I can't name names 'cause I'll get in trouble… but I had brought my best friend from school days and she saw an actor she absolutely loved and asked if I could just say hi…' Turner began. In 2014— coincidentally the year of Turner's Comic-Con appearance — they called off the engagement, only to reconcile a few months later; (seen in 2015) She admitted she'd never met the unidentified actor before, so she gave him a weak little wave from across the crowd. 'And that was it,' she said… but it wasn't. 'And then later on I see this girl looking at me and she's a famous actress and I was like, '" have to go tell her how much she means to me,"' Sophie recalled. 'So I dance on over and she goes, "Can you stop f****** flirting with my fiancee?" And I was like, "Who's your fiancee?" And she points to the guy that I waved at, and I still have no idea who this man is.' Looks like Turner will have to drop a few more hints before fans get a definitive answer — unless one of those former power couples decides to raise their hand and set the record straight.
