Shahidi and her mother were each dressed in springtime bright colors, despite New York's still-cold temperatures.
'That was the goal, to bring the spring to New York,' Salter-Shahidi said.
'We're very big on color, and the color affects mood and emotions, so we always naturally skew very bright,' Shahidi added.
The pair had spent a day in Rome for the campaign shoot, which felt 'beautifully natural' given how long they have known the team at Gucci.
'What's fun is that Gucci just, not only as a company, but as people, have been friends for such a long time. It's been over 10 years at this point that we've been friends,' Shahidi said. 'We were on set with a lot of people we already love and I think we got to do things that already come naturally.'
'We just got to play more dress up,' Salter-Shahidi added.
'And in Rome,' Shahidi said.
While in Italy en route to the shoot, they happened upon a large mural of Shahidi, completely by surprise.
'We drove to a little mall area and there was a painting of you that was three stories high,' Salter-Shahidi said to her daughter, who described the sighting as 'surreal.'
For Mother's Day, they usually spend the day in nature somewhere, with this year's plans yet to be set.
'We think about it two days ahead,' Shahidi said. 'We know what's happening in the next 48 hours.'
'Which is fun,' Salter-Shahidi added. 'We stay in the present moment for sure. So we're happy to be celebrating and to be celebrated by Gucci. It's amazing.'
Soon after, they joined the rest of the room at the lunch tables, where branzino with smoked chickpeas, a fresh salad and Meyer lemon sorbet were served.

Priyanka Chopra Shares the Cutest New Malti Pics From New York Trip With Nick Jonas
On Saturday, Priyanka Chopra reflected on the month of May with an Instagram photo carousel featuring a number of new cute pics of her daughter, Malti Marie. Chopra's husband, Nick Jonas, and his brother, Joe Jonas, also made appearances, along with their family and friends. The actress shared a number of pics where Malti is enjoying playdates with her other young pals, in the playground and working on art projects. Malti was pictured precociously applying makeup from a colorful palette, getting her nails done, and walking by her dad's side, holding his hand. The couple also appeared on a yacht in the water by New York City, enjoying a gorgeous view of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Speaking to ELLE in 2023, the Citadel star said of Malti, 'She's got me wrapped around her finger. I don't even know how I'll ever discipline her because I just don't have it in me.' The couple welcomed their first child via surrogate in January 2022. When they announced her arrival, they shared that Malti spent her first 100 days in the NICO unit after a difficult birth. She told ELLE, 'I was so close to losing her so many times that she can get away with anything and I just want to see her happy. I want her to be the happiest. She's a super smiley, happy baby, and that's all my goal is—to see her joyous. Every time she smiles, it lights up my world, and that's all I want to do.' She then shared that her mother, grandmother, and aunts have been positive influences on her own perception of motherhood. 'I've had incredible influences of moms in my life, and now with my mother-in-law [Denise Miller-Jonas] who's this epic, amazing woman,' Chopra said. 'I've not been a mom long enough to be able to take the celebration, but I love to celebrate the moms in my life on Mother's Day.'

Dakota Johnson Accessorizes With Pedro Pascal's Head
Dakota Johnson's press tour wardrobe for Materialists has been killer: Custom pink and fringey Gucci, sheer upon sheer, more silvery and slinky Gucci. So how to switch things up a gear? Maybe a statement—and definitely quite silly—accessory. Johnson took to the red carpet of the New York premiere with co-star Chris Evans, where she wore a black, silky Gucci dress with an asymmetric halterneck and plunging back. The dress also featured a thin back belt with the Gucci silver hardware—a subtle nod to the celebrity backlace trend that's been cropping up on red carpets in the last few months, via the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and Anya Taylor-Joy. Styled by Kate Young, Johnson's look was very much in the rhythm of her ongoing press tour aesthetic: Sensual, slinky, and a little bit cheeky. She accessorized with shimmering Messika geometric diamond drop earrings and a cuff of silver rings, as well as a pebble-shaped black clutch bag, and barely there, strappy black sandals. Her glowy glam was by Georgie Eisdell, with a flushed coral blush and punchy pink, glossy lip. As usual, Mark Townsend was on Johnson's premiere-ready sleek hair and signature bangs.

Dakota Johnson Wears a Completely transparent Skirt Set for a Late-Night Appearance in NYC
Dakota Johnson turned heads in New York City yesterday, wearing a transparent two-piece look while en route to Late Night with Seth Meyers. The actress was photographed leaving the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca in a black tulle top and matching midi skirt by Albanian designer Nensi Dojaka, layered over a brown strapless bodysuit. She styled the look with pointed black slingback pumps, gold hoop earrings, and black angular sunglasses. Her Gucci Jackie 1961 shoulder bag in brown complemented the neutral tones of the ensemble. The outfit, styled by Kate Young, was one of several transparent looks Johnson has worn this week while promoting her upcoming film Materialists, directed by Past Lives filmmaker Celine Song. On May 30, the actress was spotted wearing a transparent black bodysuit by Commando, paired with a suede Khaite jacket and gold-framed oval sunglasses. This is just the latest in Johnson's standout press tour style streak. At Cannes last month, she wore a series of outstanding looks, including a semi-sheer Saint Laurent slip dress and a bubble-gum-pink fringe Gucci gown. She also made headlines earlier this week for wearing a plunging blazer minidress during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—which she jokingly covered up with tissues mid-interview. The Madame Web star's appearance came just one day after reports surfaced that she and longtime partner Chris Martin had ended their relationship. The breakup news followed a public shout-out from Martin, who told a Coldplay concert crowd on June 1, 'Don't forget to go see Materialists,' in a fan's clip shared on social media. The film, which stars Johnson alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, is set to be released June 13. Neither Johnson nor Martin has commented publicly on the split, though sources told People that it 'feels final this time.'
