Influencer's risqué outfit at F1 event brutally roasted online
An influencer has sparked controversy online after people claimed she made a massive fashion faux pas while attending the Monaco Grand Prix.
Lily Chee, a model and social media star with 1.6 million Instagram followers, was at an F1 event held by luxury Swiss watch brand, TAG Heuer, when the incident occurred.
In photos shared to her Instagram stories, the 21-year-old posed alongside her friend and fellow model, Blanca Soler, and another woman at the exclusive bash – held after the Grand Prix of Monaco officially kicked off on Sunday in Monte Carlo.
The three socialites wore formal black dresses and smiled for photos on the boat's deck.
While it appeared to be a classy affair, the back of Chee's dress caught the attention of the internet as it had a daringly low-cut back, which left the top part of her bottom exposed.
Dozens of users took to Reddit to discuss the controversial outfit choice after someone shared a screenshot of the post with the caption, 'Why is her a** crack out?'
Some said that it reminded them of a 'plumber's crack', while others described the move as 'classless' and 'trashy', particularly at such a luxurious event.
Another person suggested that Chee needed some 'real friends' who would have alerted her to the fashion mishap at the time.
'Pull your pants up,' said another critic.
However, some supporters praised the look, with one person on Instagram commenting, 'Love the dress'.
'All the dresses are so unique and glamorous, it feels like a James Bond movie to me,' another wrote. 'Lily's dress is my favourite'.
'Killing it,' said a third.
Yet others couldn't overlook Chee flashing the flesh and said they struggled to understand the 'exposed crack trend', which is often associated with red-carpet looks but more recently has seeped into mainstream fashion.
As stars began embracing the ' butt cleavage ' look, from Katy Perry to Noah Cyrus, New York Magazine 's The Cut declared that 'cracks are back' last year, and people continue to support this style well into 2025.
People decreed a couple of months ago that butt cracks are the trend for the northern hemisphere's spring, following Zoë Kravitz baring her bum cheeks at the Oscars after-party.
Aussie model Jess King explained that the trend celebrates the female form and says she 'loves' seeing a variety of women in all shapes and sizes adopt the look.
'I feel empowered when I am embracing my body, meeting life with a smile and in an outfit that champions my curves,' she told news.com.au in October.
Fashion designer Donny Gallela also agreed that clothing which allows people to highlight their natural features can boost confidence.
'Style is about expressing your personality and the clothes you wear should make you feel confident, and if a client feels empowered by showing a bit of skin or enhancing their curves, I'm all for helping them achieve that,' he added.

Banksy shares new artwork but location remains a mystery
World-renowned street artist Banksy has revealed his latest piece of art on social media but has left its location a mystery. He posted two still images of the artwork to his 1.2 million followers on Instagram. Fans of Banksy and online sleuths have speculated the location could be in Marseille, in France. In the piece, a lighthouse is drawn on a bland and beige coloured wall with the words "I want to be what you saw in me" written in front of it. A fake shadow looks to have been drawn on the footpath, stemming from a nearby pole which in turn gives the illusion that the lighthouse is a silhouette of the street pole. The first image is a close up of the artwork and the second shows two people walking with dogs next to the piece of art. Last year Banksy unveiled a number of artworks showing animals painted around London city centre. He began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world's best-known artists. His work has sold for millions of dollars at auction, and past murals on outdoor sites have often been stolen or removed by building owners soon after going up.

Twist after ‘support kangaroo' goes viral
A wildly viral video of a kangaroo holding a boarding pass on a plane has left people scratching their heads. The clip, which has done the rounds on social media this week, shows a woman furiously arguing with a flight attendant while a kangaroo in a harness innocently watches on, clutching its own boarding pass. The woman furiously waves her hands in the air as the flight attendant points her finger towards the roo, while they speak an unidentified language. Millions of views, thousands of comments and a wave of 'only in Australia' memes later, the video was hailed as yet another example of airline drama in the golden age of in-flight absurdity. But – sorry to be the bearer of bad news – it's all fake. The original clip, captioned 'No kangaroo on the plane', gathered over 1 million likes on Instagram – and people were not happy. 'He has a ticket he paid for! Let him in!' said one. 'He behaves better than my kids,' laughed another. 'This is the saddest thing I've ever seen,' said a third. 'There needs to be rules against discriminating against a paying customer just because of their species,' said a fourth. Others were quick to catch on, slamming the AI-generated footage. 'How can no one tell this is AI?' questioned one viewer. 'You guys have your boomer glasses on,' mocked another. 'AI is getting scary,' said a third. 'How are people falling for the kangaroo video. I'm so serious. Yeah it looks eerily real but in what world does a kangaroo just pass through all the airport checks and is only stopped at the literal airplane door,' questioned another. Others were shocked they fell for it in the first place. 'Fell for my first AI video and I feel sick to my core…. like what was I thinking … that kangaroo was holding a boarding pass,' said one viewer. People have now confirmed the video is indeed fake, thanks to the help of internet sleuths and X's AI assistant 'Grok' who flagged the video as AI-generated on the platform. The video is just the latest example of AI-generated content fooling even the most sceptical of viewers, with recent fakes ranging from natural disaster clips to fake images of celebrities. Just earlier this year, millions were fooled over AI images of Katy Perry at the Met Gala for the second year in a row. No matter your feelings about artificial intelligence, there is no denying that it is becoming increasingly embedded within people's daily lives. A recent study by the University of Melbourne showed that just 30 per cent of Australians believe the benefits of AI outweigh the risks, ranking us the lowest among all. additionally, 55 per cent say they realise the benefits, compared to 73 per cent globally. Almost 80 per cent of Australians were concerned about the negative outcomes of AI use and 37 per cent said they have personally experienced to observed those negative outcomes.

Wily Inter aim to stop PSG juggernaut in Champions League final
Favourites Paris Saint-Germain have their sights fixed on finally winning the Champions League trophy but a rugged and battle-hardened Inter Milan side stand in their way in Saturday's final in Munich. The climax to the European season has thrown up a mouthwatering clash of opposing styles and ideas of how to build a team. It is a contest between one of the continent's old guard and one of the state-owned modern superclubs. Despite enormous spending, PSG have never won the most glamorous prize in European club football and this is just their second final since the transformative Qatari takeover of the team from the French capital in 2011. In 2020, during the pandemic, they lost the final to Bayern Munich behind closed doors in Lisbon, despite the presence of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar up front. Adding an ageing and unmotivated Lionel Messi to that front line took them further away from European glory than at any point in the last decade and their thrilling run to Munich has come in the season after Mbappe followed the South American superstar duo out of the exit door. Mbappe thought a move to last year's Champions League winners Real Madrid would improve his chances of getting his hands on the trophy. Instead Luis Enrique's thrilling young Paris side -- average age under 24 -- has taken Europe by storm. When they last came to Munich in November and lost 1-0 to Bayern, they were in danger of being knocked out during the league phase in the first season since the competition's new format was introduced. A brilliant comeback win in January against 2023 champions Manchester City was the catalyst for a superb run as PSG eliminated three more Premier League sides -- Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal -- en route to the final. - 'Make history' - Ousmane Dembele has been the standout with 33 goals in all competitions, ably assisted by fellow forwards Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola and January signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Others like Achraf Hakimi, formerly of Inter and perhaps the world's best full-back, and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma have also been superb for the French league and cup double winners. "We know what kind of football we want to play and now we just need to go out and do it to our full potential," said their Spanish coach, who is looking to win his second Champions League title, a decade after leading Messi's Barcelona to glory in Berlin. "It is always very difficult to get to the final of the Champions League. All players and coaches dream of playing in it but most don't get the chance. "We want to be the first ones in Paris to win the Champions League and make history." That, remarkably, would make them just the second French club to win the competition -- if they are looking for an omen then Marseille's 1993 triumph also came in Munich, across the city at the old Olympic Stadium, and against Inter's city rivals AC Milan. - Italian experience - Inter, meanwhile, are bidding to win a fourth European Cup to add to back-to-back triumphs under Helenio Herrera in the 1960s, and the 2010 victory against Bayern in Madrid, under Jose Mourinho. Coach Simone Inzaghi was already in charge when the Nerazzurri got to the final two years ago and lost narrowly to City. As many as eight of the team that started that night in Istanbul could do so again here, where Inter have also already played this season. Inzaghi's side beat Bayern in the quarter-finals before getting the better of Barcelona in the last four in one of the all-time great Champions League ties, especially the epic second leg in the rain at San Siro. "To really make history we have to win on Saturday," said Inzaghi, whose likely starting line-up will feature three players aged 36 or over. Inter will set up in a 3-5-2 formation that contrasts sharply with the 4-3-3 of PSG, and it will be fascinating to see how they respond to losing out to Napoli for the Serie A title on the last day of the season. "We know that it will be difficult, we know that we're facing a super team just like Barcelona and Bayern Munich but they will come up against a team which has the same goal as PSG. All we can do is try put in a great performance in the final," he added.
