Dua Lipa's Chanel Look For The 2025 Met Gala Is Adorned With Feathers, Crystals… And Callum Turner
Dua Lipa has delivered some memorable Met Gala moments over the years: there was the purple psychedelic dress by Atelier Versace that she wore to the 2019 Camp -themed edition; the archival Chanel haute couture gown from autumn/winter 1992, originally worn by Claudia Schiffer down the runway, which she chose to honour Karl Lagerfeld in 2023; and the boudoir-inspired Marc Jacobs number that she sported for the Sleeping Beauties theme in 2024.

This year, the singer turned to Chanel once again for her 2025 Met Gala look. In keeping with the 'Tailored for You' dress code, Lipa wore a custom open-back chiffon dress with a long bow at the back, a black sequin tweed jacket and an organza cape – all adorned with crystals, pearls and feathers to add to the sense of drama. In total, the complete look took 2,000 hours to make and features 45,000 embroidered elements, highlighting the remarkable level of craftsmanship on display.
In keeping with this year's Met Gala theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style , Lipa and her stylist Lorenzo Posocco were inspired by dancer and civil rights activist Josephine Baker. '[She was] a woman who truly embodied the spirit of dandyism on and off-stage and whose legacy speaks to femininity, fearless expression and resistance,' Posocco tells Vogue . 'It's a black chiffon dress adorned with a fully embroidered corset, which was inspired by a photo that captivated Dua when we began our research with Vogue contributor, Eric McNeal. The tweed jacket is a nod to Josephine's play [with] masculinity and femininity. And the organza cape [is] for the performer, the drama of it all. Ultimately, we were captivated by Josephine Baker as she is one of the great Black female dandies. In so many ways, we found that the codes of Josephine were so relatable to the Chanel essence. It really was the perfect match.'
Of course, Lipa's relationship with the French fashion house goes way back: the star previously revealed how she splurged on the Chanel Boy bag after she got her first pay cheque from her record label more than a decade ago in 2014. Since then, she's worn Chanel on countless occasions – including during her Radical Optimism tour, where she wore a bodysuit version of the chained dress originally seen on Christy Turlington on the maison's spring/summer 1992 catwalk (Lily-Rose Depp later went on to wear the gown at the 2019 Met Gala) – and was announced as a face of the Chanel 25 bag earlier this year.
Lipa hasn't been exclusively wearing Chanel for Met Gala weekend though, with the star also photographed in US brands Willy Chavarria and Calvin Klein while in the Big Apple. Could we see her championing another New York designer for the Met Gala after-parties? Watch this space.

Michael Saylor shoots his shot for Rogan spot: ‘Let's talk about Bitcoin'
Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has publicly expressed interest in discussing Bitcoin on the world's most-listened-to podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. 'Hey @joerogan, let's talk about Bitcoin,' Saylor said in a May 31 X post in response to a Joe Rogan fan account asking, 'Who's one guest you'd love to see Joe Rogan interview that he hasn't had on yet?' Saylor's post triggered excitement among the Bitcoin community Saylor's post prompted speculation within the Bitcoin community. Popular Bitcoiner, The Bitcoin Therapist, said, 'This interview will shatter the internet.' Crypto analyst Kook told their 164,200 X followers that 'Saylor is going to Bitcoin pill Joe Rogan.' Meanwhile, crypto commentator Brandon MacDougal said, 'For the first time ever, I'll be watching a Joe Rogan podcast if Saylor is there.' Rogan has frequently discussed crypto and Bitcoin on his podcast and has made several pro-Bitcoin comments over the years. In an October 2023 episode with OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, Rogan said that Bitcoin fascinates him the most of all cryptocurrencies. 'The real fascinating crypto is Bitcoin. That's the one that I think has the most likely possibility of becoming a universal viable currency. It's limited in the amount that it can be,' Rogan said. 'I love the fact that it's been implemented,' he added. Although Rogan has yet to respond to Saylor's post, featuring a guest from the Bitcoin industry wouldn't be unfamiliar territory. Even in Bitcoin's early days, Rogan gave the topic airtime on his podcast. Between 2014 and 2016, Bitcoin entrepreneur Andreas Antonopoulos made several appearances on Rogan's podcast when Bitcoin was still trading below $1,000. Saylor's firm Strategy, holds 580,250 Bitcoin, worth $60.47 billion, according to Saylor Tracker. Saylor recently speculated why Bitcoin's price is not yet $150,000. He said holders without a long-term outlook have been selling off while a new cohort of investors are beginning to enter the market. 'I think we're going through a rotation right now,' Saylor said on the Coin Stories podcast with Natalie Brunell on May 9. Source:

This season's additions bring a sunlit softness to the lips, offering sheer yet buildable colour with a hint of shimmer for a naturally radiant look. From the golden-pink beige of Sun Bliss to the glowing brick red of Late Sun, each shade evokes a different facet of sunset light. Sunset delivers a flattering pink sienna warmth, while Sun Kiss adds a fresh, luminous bluish pink to the mix—perfect for enhancing lips with a touch of effortless elegance and light-reflecting glow. Dior Addict Lip Glow Above The best lip balms, lip glosses and lip butters to try Dior Beauty has given fans of the cult favourite Dior Addict Lip Glow even more reason to love it with an upgraded cutting‐edge formula that blends natural ingredients with advanced technology for a deeply moisturising lip balm that delivers custom colour. Boasting 97 per cent natural‐origin ingredients, including emollients such as cherry oil, shea butter, and sunflower and rice bran waxes, it has at its heart the Colour Reviver technology derived from hero ingredient eosin, which reacts to the lips' pH level to reveal a shade unique to its wearer. Peter Philips, creative and image director for Dior Makeup, has also expanded the original palette to include fresh hues with warm undertones to better suit a wider range of complexions—delivering a more encompassing comforting balm that soothes dry, flaky patches while leaving behind a luscious and bespoke barely there tint for a naturally enhanced finish.

Rising Saudi Models Amira, Taleedah and Zahra Shine Against the Kingdom's Stunning Desert Backdrop
Located along the Red Sea, Desert Rock hotel is a real social media phenomenon, with luxury suites embedded within magnificent rock formations for an experience that feels both luxurious and otherworldly. Walking around, the topography stands as both a gateway to the past, and a portal to the future. Along the shores of the Red Sea, striking black desert sands, rich in volcanic minerals, stand as a testament to the region's unique geology. The sea itself, calm yet ever-rolling, mirrors the quiet power of the landscape. In this place where time stays still, Amira Al Zuhair, Taleedah Tamer, and Zahra Hussain rise as the faces of the future, representing Saudi Arabia on a global fashion scale. They celebrate feminine energy, with a rock-solid foundation. Whether bathed in sunlight or moonlight, this rugged landscape is a runway like no other. Amira Al Zuhair Saudi-French model Amira Al Zuhair made history as one of the first Saudi models to star in Chanel's Métiers d'Art Spring 2022 campaign, and this groundbreaking debut helped cement her place in the international fashion world. She walked exclusively for Alaïa at Paris Fashion Week in 2024 and has also graced the runways for labels like Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Missoni and more. As the kingdom's creative scene flourishes, Al Zuhair has become her country's ambassador on the international fashion stage – and at home. 'What I love most about my heritage is how deeply-rooted it is in tradition, yet constantly evolving,' she says. 'Shooting in the kingdom has been an incredibly enriching experience. The landscapes are breathtaking, and there's a special kind of pride that comes from sharing this beauty, spirit and cultural richness with the world.' Al Zuhair admires supermodels Naomi Campbell and Gisele Bündchen, and is also deeply inspired by Malala Yousafzai, whose fearless advocacy for women's rights and access to education continues to move her. A former elected member of the UK Youth Parliament, Al Zuhair studied philosophy, politics and economics at King's College London. She is the epitome of brains and beauty, and is excited for what the future holds for her career – and her kingdom. Taleedah Tamer The scent of fresh mint instantly transports Saudi model Taleedah Tamer back to her childhood, which was spent in her hometown, Jeddah. She later moved to Milan for university, balancing schoolwork with castings. Today, her jet-setting life smells like 'airplane air, adventure, and home,' she shares. When Tamer was 17, she made history as the first Saudi model to walk in a Paris Haute Couture show, debuting in the Antonio Grimaldi fall/winter 2018/2019 presentation. Fast forward to 2024 and she made headlines yet again at Riyadh Fashion Week, walking the Hindamme runway with her cousin, pop star Mishaal Tamer. The duo appeared with arms linked, wearing matching T-shirts emblazoned with the statement: 'Saudi Arabia is the future,' designed by Saudi creative Lina Malaika in collaboration with Hindamme's founder, Mohammed Khoja. 'Every day, I feel inspired by those around me who choose to be good and to be their authentic selves,' says Tamer, who enjoys working with fellow models on her home turf. 'The best thing about shooting here is the feeling of support from the community – we're all joined in the same purpose to help develop the industry in our kingdom. It's fun and obviously challenging, but we're all working together really hard to create art.' Zahra Hussain 'Every time I walk into Saudi, I feel an immediate peace – like the country just gives you a hug,' model Zahra Hussain says fondly. She deeply appreciates the capital's hospitality, and how energetic, lively and vibrant it is. 'Moments from working in Saudi have built up to be the best experiences of my life,' shares Hussain, who has walked both seasons of Riyadh Fashion Week. She has also walked for Brunello Cucinelli, in addition to starring in campaigns for Ferragamo, Pomellato and Adidas x KAF by KAF – each highlighting a different facet of her dynamic presence. 'There's so much talent in the fashion industry in Riyadh, and they're paving such a remarkable path for Arabian fashion,' she reflects. As Hussain approaches graduation from the University of Manchester in International Business, Economics and Finance this summer, her focus extends beyond personal achievement – she hopes to to organise a charity fundraiser for girls' education in Afghanistan. Central to her journey is her mother, Riz, who co-owns a pharmaceutical business with Hussain's father. 'I'd be lucky if I even end up half the woman that she is," she says with a smile. With a growing body of work across both runway and editorial, Hussain is quickly proving her versatility and star quality, making waves in the European fashion scene while establishing herself as a standout face to watch in the MENA region and beyond.
