Kiara Advani Thanks All For Making Her Met Gala Debut 'Extra Magical'
Kiara Advani looked absolutely mesmerising in a black gown with a metallic breastplate and a flowing white train at the Met Gala 2025.
Mommy-to-be Kiara Advani thanked everyone for making her special moment at her Met Gala debut extra magical with their love, kindness, and celebration. Sharing a stunning clip of herself flaunting her baby bump for the first time in a gorgeous Gaurav Gupta creation, Kiara wrote on her Instagram, 'Still soaking it all in…Grateful for all the love, kindness, and celebration…Thank you for showing up for my Met Gala debut in such a big way, making my special moment extra magical. Your messages, cheers, and love mean the world."
Kiara looked absolutely mesmerising in a black gown with a metallic breastplate and a flowing white train. As a special touch for the mommy-to-be, the designer added a heart-shaped plaque for her baby, delicately tethered to the breastplate by a golden thread, representing the umbilical cord.
The stunner accessorised the look with gold rings, bold earrings, and an ear cuff. As for hair, Kiara pinned those wavy tresses back. Her ensemble was tied up with smoky eyes, brown toned lip-colour, and a complementing blush.
Sharing his experience of dressing the 'Kabir Singh' actress for her Met Gala debut, designer Gaurav Gupta penned, 'Kiara Advani (@kiaraaliaadvani) in custom Gaurav Gupta Couture titled 'Bravehearts' at her debut Met Gala. A tribute to defiance, legacy, and new beginnings. Bravehearts is built on the spirit of the Black Dandy — those who challenged norms and reshaped culture with grace, strength, and individuality."
'On the pregnant Kiara Advani, the look takes on deeper meaning, representing how identity is inherited and reimagined through generations. At its core, a gold sculpted breastplate with two hearts – mother and child, connected by an abstract umbilical cord. She is enveloped in a dramatic white cape echoing André Leon Talley's 2010 Met Gala look, the piece is both armour and offering," he added.

War 2 box office: Despite negative reviews & social media trend, Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR starrer reaches closer to Rs 200 crore club
In 5 days, War 2 raked in around Rs 194 crore (in all languages) and is expected to enter the Rs 200 crore mark by today or tomorrow at the ticket windows. Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani starrer War 2 released at the box office amid high expectations; however, due to immense negative trend on social media and reviews, the spy-action-thriller underperformed at the ticket windows. While the underwhelming response is disheartening for Bollywood, it is quite irritating to see some of the 'so-called' trade experts and influencers writing off just to get maximum mileage on social media. In 5 days, War 2 raked in around Rs 194 crore (in all languages) and is expected to enter the Rs 200 crore mark by today or tomorrow at the ticket windows. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The film will be the 3rd highest grosser of the year after Chhaava and Saiyaara, but will be termed as an underperformer due to its insane budget. In Kabir's world, battles may be won.. but the war goes on. A character that came to life in 2019, has only fueled my fire as an Actor & Entertainer. Witnessing all your cheers & celebrations in cinema halls, only makes Kabir taller and my heart fuller. Kabir was and always… — Hrithik Roshan (@iHrithik) August 16, 2025 War 2 is directed by Ayan Mukerji of Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra fame (all three featured Ranbir Kapoor in lead roles).

‘This could've been our last meal': Car crashes through Texas restaurant as YouTubers Patrick Blackwood, NinaUnrated film burger review
Two popular food YouTubers narrowly escaped a tragedy in Texas after a car came crashing into the restaurant where they were filming a burger review. Patrick Blackwood, a Czech Bowl Champion, and Nina Santiago, better known online as NinaUnrated, had just sat down at CuVee's Culinary Creations in Houston to record a burger review when the vehicle came crashing through the glass wall beside them. Food reviewers NinaUnrated and Patrick Blackwood were involved in a crash while filming. — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) August 18, 2025 Both were left injured. Photos shared by Nina on Instagram showed cuts and bruises on their face, arms, and chest. She recalled the terrifying moment in her caption: 'I'm beyond grateful to be alive after an SUV crashed through the wall at @cuveesculinarycreations in Houston, TX, shattering everything while @iampatrickblackwood and I recorded an eating show.' Nina described how she had just bitten into a salmon slider when the SUV struck: 'It hit us directly, me on his left, him on my right, as I bit into a delicious salmon slider. Out of nowhere, but we survived.' A post shared by @NINAUNRATED (@ninaunrated) The cause of the crash remains unclear, with authorities yet to confirm who was behind the wheel. In the meantime, Nina used her post to reflect on how the near-death experience shifted her perspective: 'This experience showed me who truly matters; life's too short for grudges or anger. Let go, forgive, live in the now, and cherish those around you—this could've been our last meal.' She also credited a higher power and her late dog, writing, 'Thankful to the universe and our angel pup Loyal, who passed in Nov 2024 and protected us from above.' The crash video has gone viral on social media platforms, and netizens took to the comments to share their views on it. Many came in defence of the couple, while many others called it staged. A user wrote, 'This is like the end of the final destination movies when the characters think they cheated death and then some crazy shit happens at the end as the credits roll.' Another user commented, 'It's a miracle they got away mostly unscathed. It could have easily killed both of them. It slammed right into where they were sitting.' A third person commented, 'I really hope this isn't staged, cos crazy what people do for content these days.'

Will Smith's daughter Willow performs Janmashtami aarti, debuts new track Govinda Nights; offers a glimpse into her spiritual journey
Willow Smith, daughter of Hollywood A-listers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, recently took to Instagram to celebrate her feature on Govinda Nights. Released on Janmashtami by artist Londrelle, the track is now streaming on Apple Music and Spotify. Alongside a string of photos capturing the moment, Willow shared a heartfelt caption expressing her gratitude. Willow, a practicing Hindu who has openly shared her spiritual journey on social media, is an American singer and actor like her parents. The photos show her fully immersed in the spiritual atmosphere, performing aarti at ISKCON, with a scarf over her head and Vaishnav tika on her forehead, following traditional Hindu rituals. Also read: Will Smith's daughter Willow on his Oscars slap incident: 'I accept my family for their humanness' One slide captures her chanting bag alongside a guitar, hinting at her journey of blending devotional practice with contemporary music. In another, she poses in front of a Radha-Krishna image. Willow also shares her thoughts on sound and spirituality, describing the 'signature patterns of vibration' in one slide, while another captures a live bhajan session. The final slide reveals the cover of the Govinda Nights album. ' 🌕 OUT NOW !! THANK YOU @londrelle FOR FEATURING ME ON THIS MUSICAL OFFERING !! MY GRATITUDE IS INFINITE 🌀HAPPY JANMASTAMI,' she captioned the post. A post shared by ∴ W ∴ (@willowsmith) Govinda Nights continues Willow's journey in spiritual music, following her collaborations with Jahnavi Harrison on Sanskrit mantras. The duo previously teamed up for the EP R I S E and the single Surrender (Krishna Keshava) after meeting at a Kirtan event hosted by Jay Shetty. While Willow follows Hinduism, her father, Will Smith, stated in a 2013 interview that he prefers not to be associated with any religious group. Her mother, Jada Pinkett, had expressed interest in the general teachings of Scientology. In her book, she wrote, 'I was very clear when I stepped into the Church of Scientology that becoming a member would not be possible, nor was it my goal,' adding that she appreciated the Basic Study Manual while homeschooling her kids, Jaden and Willow Smith.

Staring into the distance, she paired the photo with an explicit caption. Some saw it as a joke, but many questioned her well-being. The post also reignited conversations about her sexuality. She came out as bisexual in 2019 and revealed in 2021 that she is polyamorous, open to more than one relationship. On Red Table Talk, she said she would likely limit herself to two partners and avoid traditional marriage, calling it restrictive for women. Earlier this year, on Instagram Live, she shared that watching animals taught her new ways of connecting, beyond human-imposed gender roles.
