Abby Phillip's Liquid Metal Dress Makes a Splash at the 2025 White House Correspondents' Dinner
Abby Phillip was gleaming at the 2025 White House Correspondents' Dinner. The CNN anchor attended Saturday's event in a floor-length, black strapless dress with a liquid metal-esque design.
Styled by Leon Gray, Phillip's dress was created by Lurline, a luxury brand founded in 2018 by Saudi Arabian sisters Sarah and Siham Albinali. The dress featured a shiny, somewhat reflective quality, with light and dark contrasting patterns that give the impression of flowing liquid. The journalist was also wearing black open-toed heels and diamond jewelry.

The liquid metal fashion trend has been welcomed by luxury brands including Paco Rabbane, Balmain and Area. The liquid metal effect is achieved through designs that often feature shiny, reflective materials, such as sequins, metallic fabrics and innovative draping techniques, to mimic the fluidity and sheen of liquid metal, offering a futuristic aesthetic. Heidi Klum and Whoopi Goldberg are some of the celebrities who have previously embraced the trend.
Phillip's black dress is a departure from the vibrant, yellow gown she wore for the 2024 White House Correspondents' Dinner. For last year's event, Phillip donned a chiffon dress with a floor-sweeping hem and a pleated maxi skirt with a metallic pattern from Hudson's ready-to-wear fall 2023 collection.
Other guests also opted for black dresses for the 2025 White House Correspondents' Dinner, including Brianna Keilar, Kaitlan Collins and Dana Bash.
The 2025 White House Correspondents' Dinner takes place on Saturday at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. Hosted by the White House Correspondents' Association, the event brings together journalists, public figures and guests to honor achievements in journalism, present scholarships and support press freedom. This year's dinner didn't feature a guest entertainer, and President Trump and his administration were not in attendance.

Watch BTS' Jin Showcase ‘Don't Say You Love Me' on ‘Fallon'
Jin stopped by The Tonight Show to perform his song 'Don't Say You Love Me' and to chat with host Jimmy Fallon about the future of BTS. Appearing alongside a live band, Jin took the stage to showcase emotional single 'Don't Say You Love Me,' which comes off his recent EP, Echo. The EP is a follow-up to the singer's solo debut, Happy, which arrived in November. More from Rolling Stone Watch Shakira's Intimate Performance of 'Antología' on 'Fallon' Jon Stewart Slams CNN for Promoting Book on Biden's Health Amid Cancer Diagnosis 'SNL': Watch Bad Bunny Perform 'NUEVAYoL,' 'PERFuMITO NUEVO' Speaking with Fallon, Jin discussed BTS' upcoming reunion in June. It will mark the first time the seven band members will be together after completing their military service in South Korea. 'It was great to be alone, but when they come back, since they worked very hard, I'm going to honor them and give them great respect,' Jin said of BTS. 'They are my lifesavers, so I need to show my appreciation and take care of them.' He described the difference between Happy and Echo, explaining that on the new release he was 'able to capture my feelings better.' Of 'Don't Say You Love Me' Jin said, 'When you're in love sometimes you know that it's time to leave, but you can't bring yourself to do it. The song is about that emotion. So it's sad, but it's also bittersweet.' The musician also reflected on what it was like to have Tom Cruise on his YouTube show, Run Jin, earlier this week. 'He was responsible for my childhood cultural experiences, so it was a great honor to see him in person,' Jin told Fallon. He added, 'There is a small part of me that wants to do action movies, but I'm not as adventurous as Tom Cruise.' Jin will embark on his first solo world tour this summer. The #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR — complicatedly named after the singer's Run Jin variety show on YouTube — will visit nine cities this summer. Four of them — Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, and Newark, New Jersey — are in the U.S. Each city is currently booked for two shows: July 17 and 18 at Anaheim's Honda Center, July 22 and 23 at Dallas' American Airlines Center, July 26 and 27 at Tampa's Amalie Arena, and July 30 and 31 at Newark's Prudential Center. The trek, which begins in South Korea and Japan before moving to the U.S., is currently scheduled to conclude in London and then Amsterdam. Jin teased the upcoming shows, telling Fallon fans can 'expect my 'not so bad' vocals.' 'On top of that, you can look forward to seeing my handsome face up close,' he said. 'Just a joke!' He added that he had the tour in mind while making Echo so he ended up with 'a lot more energetic songs.'

'Daily Show' Makes X-Rated Example Out Of Republican's L.A. Protests Gaffe
'Daily Show' correspondent Desi Lydic roasted Rep. Zach Nunn (R-Iowa) Tuesday after his not-safe-for-work gaffe while naming a law that experts warn may complicate Donald Trump's military deployment to Los Angeles protests. Lydic warned that Trump sending the military to demonstrations against his immigration policies could put him on the 'wrong side of the law' before flagging concerns tied to the Posse Comitatus Act — a law which, with some exceptions, bars troops from engaging in civilian law enforcement on U.S. soil. Lydic called for more details on the 'very serious legal principle' before turning to video of Nunn's wild on-air fumble during a CNN segment. 'Look, I believe strongly in pussy comitatus...,' Nunn appeared to say in the clip. The comedian, after pausing for laughter and applause from the 'Daily Show' crowd, pressed on. 'Indeed, Trump is truly in violation of 'pussy cum-in-tatas.' That's to say nothing of his violations of the Snatch Act,'' she joked. She went on to emphasize that Trump is taking an 'extreme measure' in Los Angeles. 'The last time 'pussy cum-in-tatas' was used it was on your mom last night,' quipped Lydic while the sound of an air horn went off. Watch more of Lydic's Tuesday monologue on '' below.

Miley Cyrus, Parker Posey, Riley Keough & More Celebrate ‘Through Her Lens' With Chanel and Tribeca
On Friday afternoon, a Chanel-heavy crowd gathered against a leafy green backdrop on the corner outside of Locanda Verde in Tribeca, as neighbors crossed over straining to get a look. The commotion was in honor of the annual Chanel and Tribeca 'Through Her Lens' luncheon, celebrating the Tribeca Chanel Women's Filmmaker Program, now in its 10th year. Miley Cyrus, who has been in town promoting her new album 'Something Beautiful,' was especially excited about the Tribeca film 'My Mom Jayne,' directed by Mariska Hargitay, about her late mother, Jayne Mansfield. More from WWD EXCLUSIVE: Chanel Launches Circular Materials Hub Nevold Global Fashion Agenda Addresses Sustainability's Struggles: Uncertainty Looms Amid Policy Shifts, Economic Pressures and Tariffs Lucy Liu Pairs Santoni Platform Sandals With Floral Monique Lhuillier Gown at Tribeca Film Festival 'Jayne Mansfield has been a very important figure in my life,' Cyrus said. 'The critique of her career for embracing her sensuality and her sexuality, and I know that she was banned from movie theaters and was shunned for feeling her sexuality, and I have experienced that in my life as well. And so I've always just really admired her for what she means to culture so many years later.' Cyrus was head to toe in black Chanel, wearing look 55 from the Metier d'Art 2024/2025 collection. While the singer has worn the brand many times over her career, she has a soft spot for some of her earlier pieces. 'My personal gifts from Karl [Lagerfeld]. When Karl was here, he said 'You're one of the ones that buys, not borrows,' so he brought me a lot of gifts,' Cyrus said of her Chanel favorites. Lucy Liu was just a few hours away from the Tribeca premiere of her film 'Rosemead.' 'I am so excited, and very nervous, but really anxious to get this in front of an audience and have them absorb it and have something like this as a voice,' she said. Carrie Coon looked effortlessly cool in a large pair of Chanel shades, a leather jacket and gray jeans. Between her 'White Lotus' character Laurie and her 'Gilded Age' character Bertha, she said that Bertha would be much more at home at a Chanel luncheon. 'Well Laurie would get drunk and would make a scene,' Coon said. 'Bertha would know exactly how to conduct herself. And know who to talk to.' 'The Gilded Age,' which will screen for an event during Tribeca, returns with its third season later in June. 'We've dispensed with all of the exposition and now it's just quick storytelling. There is a lot of action this year. And of course I have a whole new closet that I get to wear,' Coon said. 'Honestly, my sneaky favorite things are the robes that I get to wear in my bedroom. Not only are they comfortable but they're always gorgeous — though the train makes acting with me very challenging, if you walk behind me.' Other guests included Parker Posey, who waved her white feathered Chanel cape in the breeze as she posed for photos; Hargitay, who chatted with Cyrus on the carpet; Riley Keough, Olivia Munn, Beanie Feldstein, Zosia Mamet, Annie Murphy, Lola Tung, Whitney Peak, Gracie Lawrence, Fina Strazza, Misty Copeland, Jurnee Smollett, Justine Lupe, Rachel Hilson and more. While passed plates, remarks and cocktails awaited inside, Keough was most excited about all the conversations that awaited her throughout the festival. 'I'm really excited to screen our little film and talk to filmmakers and aspiring filmmakers,' she said. 'I love those conversations.'
