Lauryn Hill's 2025 Met Gala Look Was All About the Birkin
Stop the presses! A rare Lauryn Hill sighting had everyone talking at the 2025 Met Gala tonight. The iconic singer was on hand for the red carpet affair this evening, bringing a dash of sunshine in her sculptural yellow double-breasted suit. Paying homage to the 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' theme this year, a spotlight on Black dandyism and tailoring, Hill chose a modern suit look that was dramatic, very much avant-garde—and totally on point. Her traditional shirt and tie? 10 out of 10—no notes.
Her choice of bag, meanwhile, was a total showstopper as well. Hill carried around a classic (and very luxurious) Hermès Kelly bag in cerulean blue—the ultimate status bag that offered the perfect pop of color to her look. A big Kelly in such a covetable color? It's almost as rare of a find as a splashy red carpet appearance from Hill herself! Combined, it was the most epic pairing. Now, Siri, please play 'Killing Me Softly'—because she was one of the most iconic divas of the night.

ICE Says TikTok Star Khaby Lame Detained and Told to Leave U.S.
Originally appeared on E! Online Khaby Lame was allegedly told to leave the United States. The TikToker, who is among the world's most followed users on the popular video app, was asked to leave the country after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said he 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' immigration officials told NBC News. The Italian Senegalese creator (full name Seringe Khabane Lame) entered the U.S. on April 30 but was later detained at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas June 6 and granted 'voluntary departure,' according to an ICE spokesperson. Days after entering the country, Lame—who is popular for his wordless, straight-faced parody videos mocking other influencers—attended the 2025 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. While Lame has not responded to NBC News' request for comment, Sharks Celebrities Mgmt.—an agency that represents the 25-year-old—said in a statement to NBC News that the ICE report is 'fake news' and that Lame 'did not visit the USA this month to begin with.'

'He had worked with a few of my friends,' Loudon said in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) June 9. 'They told me that his visa was revoked three years ago.' 'I just called some buddies in the administration,' he continued. 'And I've never seen anything happen so quick.' Since the reported date of Lame's departure from the U.S., the influencer—who is also a goodwill ambassador for the humanitarian aid organization UNICEF—has continued to post on his social media, including a clip from the stands of a Brazilian national soccer team match in São Paulo, Brazil, shared to his Instagram Story June 10.

TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves US after being detained by immigration officials
Khaby Lame, considered the most popular TikTok star in the world, has left the US after being detained by immigration officials. The influencer was detained in Las Vegas on Friday for allegedly staying in the country after his visa expired. He then voluntarily departed, but officials did not say which day he left. Lame is one of hundreds of people caught in US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, which includes cross-country raids and an increasing number of deportations, and which has also sparked days of protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Lame has not publicly commented on his voluntary departure, leaving fans guessing about when he left and where he is now. ICE has said he arrived in the US on 30 April and then overstayed his visa. Officials said he was released the same day he was detained and subsequently left the country. A voluntary departure allows people who are facing removal from the US to avoid having a deportation order on their immigration record. Deportation orders can prevent immigrants from being allowed back into the US for up to a decade. The 25-year-old Senegalese-Italian influencer, who has 162.3 million TikTok followers, became popular during the pandemic for his silent videos and signature facial expressions. Who has been arrested by ICE under Trump? "It's my face and my expressions which make people laugh," Lame told The New York Times in 2021, adding that his reactions speak "a global language". As an Italian citizen, he is allowed to travel to the US for business or tourism for up to 90 days without a visa. Lame attended the Met Gala in May. Otherwise, it is unclear what he was doing while in the US. His deportation has made headlines as he is one of the more high-profile people to be deported in Trump's latest surge to cut illegal immigration into the country. Some 51,000 undocumented migrants were in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention as of early June - the highest on record since September 2019.

I Took My First Trip To Nashville & Fell In Love With Country Music
I never thought I'd be two-stepping in Nashville with cowboy boots on, singing along to country music, but last weekend, there I was. After spending a few days at CMA Fest with SoFi, let me tell you, I get the hype now. As a native New Yorker, this was my first time in Nashville and my first country music festival. The best part? I got to experience it all with my boyfriend. It was his first time in Nashville too, which made it even more special. He went full rancher mode the moment we landed. I'm talking boots, hats, and attitude. I was calling him 'Cowboy Johnny' all weekend because he was really committed to the role. His cowboy alter ego was activated. Like so many millennial Black folks, I've never been a big country music fan (outside of Shania Twain, obviously) but since Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter (which deserves its own Grammy category, let's be real) which gave us a whole history lesson on the Black roots of country music, I've been dabbling more into the genre. And after Day 1 of CMA Fest, I was like… ohhh, this is kinda fire! There's something about the storytelling, the vocals, the vibes — it just takes you to a place of peace. Going with SoFi made the whole experience even more memorable. I've always known SoFi as the financial company helping people reach their money goals but I didn't realize how much they've expanded into lifestyle spaces. What really stood out to me was how SoFi is bridging financial wellness with culture. Their SoFi Plus membership doesn't just offer banking perks, it includes exclusive invites to VIP events & experiences nationwide, which is how I got the opportunity to attend CMA Fest with them. In addition to perks, they teamed up with country star Kelsea Ballerini to launch their Rising Star Program, offering grants to students and helping the next generation achieve financial independence. It's one thing to talk about empowering people, it's another to put action behind it. As for the music? A vibe. Watching Darius Rucker hit the main stage on Night 1 was surreal. I grew up knowing him from Hootie & The Blowfish, so seeing him take command of a country music festival was a full-circle moment. Black artists have always had a hand in shaping country music, legends like DeFord Bailey and Charley Pride paved the way but we haven't always been centered in the conversation. So to see artists like, Shaboozey, Tiera Kennedy, and Kashus Culpepper take the stage and bring their full selves? That meant something. They're part of a new generation redefining what country music looks and sounds like and I'm so here for it. Oh, and let's not forget the fashion. I knew I couldn't pull up to Nashville without proper fits. I found the cutest denim cowboy boots, paired them with matching hats, layered belts and chains, and added mini bags to complete the fits. It was giving Southern charm meets city girl aesthetic. Photo Courtesy of SoFi If I had to rate this trip, I'd give it a 10/10. I came for the vibes, stayed for the music, and left with a new playlist, a SoFi membership, and memories I'll never forget. Don't be surprised if my Spotify Wrapped is stacked with Kelsea Ballerini and Shaboozey.
