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.

Style Gallery: Will The BET Awards Dress Code Bring The Drama We're Hoping For? We Hope So
Source: Aaron J. Thornton / Getty Black tie, but make it culture. The 2025 BET Awards are about to be a fashion movie. For the first time, the BET Awards is setting the tone. Tomorrow, June 9, the network celebrates 25 years of culture-shifting moments with a formal black tie dress code. And if you know anything about the culture, we love to put that ish on. What better way to do it than with a fabulous formal theme? BET's 2025 Awards Show Dress Code Has Entered The Chat & It's Black Tie This year's awards show is shaping up to be more than just a celebration of music, film, and television. It's also a tribute to legacy, style, and the artistry of Black designers. BET has tapped Harlem's Fashion Row to help bring the fashion vision to life. BET and HFR are pairing this year's Best New Artist nominees with Black designers Richfresh, Megan Renee, LaTouche, and Rey Ortiz Jaiteh. That means custom looks, personal storytelling through fabric, and runway-ready moments that will make us gag. When it comes to black tie on the BET carpet, we know it's going to be a moment. For the ladies, that means floor-length gowns with sculptural shapes, dramatic tulle, trains longer than CVS receipts, romantic draping, and body-hugging corsets. Look out for exaggerated sleeves, fabulous feathers, sequined pieces, and silver, bronze, and gilded gold metallics. Also, don't be surprised if we see sheer moments, glamorous grills, and lace looks. For the men, expect tailored suits reimagined. We want to see double-breasted, sleeveless, monochrome, velvet, brocade, and suits dripping in details. Embellished lapels, brooches, and designer loafers can take suits to the next level. Chains over blazers? Of course. Luxe textures? Absolutely. The red carpet should perfectly mix personal style and formal glam. And whether it's Law Roach giving a glam breakdown or Teyana Taylor turning heads on stage, fashion will be its headliner. The BET red carpet never misses. Before the 2025 style rolls in, we're looking back at some of the most iconic fashion moments in BET Awards history.

Most-followed TikTok star Khaby Lame detained by ICE, leaves US voluntarily
TikTok megastar Khaby Lame has left the United States after being detained by federal immigration. 'U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations,' an ICE representative told People. Lame, who holds the record as the most followed on TikTok with over 160 million followers on the platform, was asked to leave the U.S. because he 'overstayed the terms of his visa.' The 25-year-old content creator was stopped by ICE at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and granted voluntary departure once he was detained. The social media star was born in Senegal and was moved to Italy when he was a baby. He was granted Italian citizenship in August 2022. Lame rose to fame when he started sharing silent comedic videos on TikTok during the pandemic after he was laid off from his job. 'Before TikTok, I was working in a factory. I had a lot of different jobs,' he told People after being named one of their Creators of the Year. 'I was helping support my family — three little brothers, one older brother and my parents. Then my world changed completely. It's a whole different life now.' In May of 2025, Lame was seen at the Met Gala celebrating the theme of Black Dandyism in a grey and cream suit. The detainment comes amid Trump's immigration crackdown. ICE has launched raids all over the country, enforcing the president's mass deportation campaign promise in workplaces, schools, airports and college campuses. As for Lame, he has been active on social media since the detainment and hasn't spoken publicly about what happened. ____________

We rank the ‘Materialists' press tour's flirtiest moments by how bisexual they are
If there is one thing we have learned about Materialists from the film's press tour, it's that bisexuals are winning. The film, which stars Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans follows 'a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker (Johnson) finds herself torn between the perfect match (Pascal) and her imperfect ex (Evans),' according to the official synopsis. It may not, at first glance, seem to be queer culture, but you would never guess that from the press tour, which is a vision of the future that bisexuals want. From sneaky clothing swaps, near gay kisses, and that flirty photoshoot, these three have been giving throuple vibes and having the most cheeky fun three incredibly hot actors can have on a press tour. And for their service, we thank them. Here are the viral moments between this flirty trio, ranked by just how hard the bisexuals are winning right now. Editors note: This is all in good fun, no one is outting anyone! Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson are seen on the set of "Materialists" You would think meeting Pedro Pascal in any situation would be memorable, but it turns out his meet-cute with Johnson was only cute for him. Pascal interviewed Johnson for a feature in Elle in which he called out his co-star about how they met. It began with Johnson talking about meeting him for the first time at the Met Gala with Sarah Paulson (stars, they're just like us!) and he interjected with a correction 'That was the second time,' he revealed, prompting Jonson to share, 'OK, the first time was on Raya.' - YouTube The trio sat down with Fandango to reveal some BTS secrets and things got very real and very spicy when they were asked what kind of 'random talent [or] skill' they had that they could share with a matchmaker. After plenty of giggles and whispers with both of his cast mates, eventually Pascal dropped the bomb: 'I'm into... I'm into.. I'm into.. I'm a pleaser.' To which Johnson agreed she is, too. LADbible/YouTube In a game of Would You Rather with LADbible, the question of body odor came up prompting Johnson to smell Pedro's armpit. Not only did it smell nice, but she said it smelled oddly familiar. 'That's what my sweater smelled like when you gave it back,' she revealed. To which Evans laughed, then expressed some understandable FOMO. 'You guys swapping clothes? Why wasn't I involved with this?' he asked. LADbible/YouTube During that same game, the question was asked, 'Would you rather have a mouth full of bees or one bee in your butt?' As Evans tried to logic through the question, he leaned toward the bee in the butt since it would only survive for a minute, which led Pascal to quietly answer, 'It depends.' See on Instagram Again during that same game of Would You Rather, the trio debated whether they'd rather be itchy all the time in clothes or naked all the time. While Pascal and Johnson opted for nudity, Evans preferred itchy but clothed. Pascal decried what a shame that would be because of Evan's 'great body.' Evans then offered to let them both scratch it. — (@) At the premiere, Pedro was missing so Evans and Dakota carried around a cardboard photo of his face, at one point each giving it a cheeky kiss. See on Instagram When A24 released the BTS video of the promo photoshoot for the film, the bisexuals immediately took note! The chemistry between the three was fire, the dance moves, the prom photos, the partner swapping. Obsessed. LADbible/YouTube One last entry from LADBible's game of Would You Rather! During the outtakes from the end of the episode, the three are standing together holding hands and Pascal points out that they look like they are in a cult. Johnson agrees, calling it her 'cult of sexy boys.' Pascal agrees and says his husband is #2 and they agree Evans is husband #1. A24/YouTube I mean. Come on. These three know exactly what they are doing here. Not that we're complaining. arrives in theaters on June 13, watch the trailer below. - YouTube
