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.

Cardi B Embraces Reptilian Inspiration in Nicol & Ford Strapless Dress for ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Awards 2025
Cardi B was honored at the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Awards 2025 on Sunday in Los Angeles. The Grammy Award-winning rapper received the Voice of the Culture Award at the event, styling a look with sensual, reptilian inspiration. Cardi wore a strapless dress courtesy of Australian fashion label Nicol & Ford. The dress featured a corseted bodice with a plunging neckline and reptilian fabric. The skirt of the dress featured a contrasting reptile print, paired with a flowing silhouette and draped fabric at the drop waist.

The 'I Like It' rapper's look was curated by stylist Kollin Carter, who's collaborated with Cardi B on several previous occasions. Carter has also collaborated with notable artists such as Victoria Monet and Kelly Rowland, among others. Nicol & Ford was founded by Katie-Louise Nicol-Ford and Lilian Nicol-Ford. Launched in 2014, the label rebranded in 2017 with the name it has today. The label's fall 2024 collection, titled 'Thorn,' featured a bevy of animal prints, fabric draping and sensual styling. While Nicol & Ford's profile has risen thanks in part to Cardi B's latest styling of one of the label's designs, so too has the rapper's reach within the fashion industry. In April, Cardi joined forces with Revolve Group, the California-based fashion and lifestyle retailer, on an exclusive multicategory venture. The partnership will include beauty and fashion brands. 'People have been expecting both from me. My beauty line, people have been expecting that, like an album,' the rapper told WWD in an interview. 'I personally believe that I put a lot of people on a lot of trends. It's not even about getting paid, but it's not appreciated. I gotta do this for me because I don't get thank yous. If I don't have a good year, I don't get, 'How have you been?' Nobody does that. It's time for me to do s–t for my own self, not for everybody else,' she said.

From Cole Escola's Glittery Eyes to Cynthia Erivo's Stiletto Nails, a Look at the Best Beauty Moments at the 2025 Tony Awards
The stars opted for glitz and glam at the 78th annual Tony Awards. On Sunday evening, Broadway's best stepped out showcasing bold beauty looks from glittery eyes to bright red lips and large updos to Old Hollywood curls.

Cole Escola, who took home the Tony Award for best actor in a play for their role in 'Oh, Mary!' sported a sparkly, silver eye look that perfectly matched the custom Wiederhoeft gown inspired by Berndatte Peters' look from the 1999 Tony Awards. The star wore a set of matching stiletto nails adorned with crystals. Adam Lambert, who previously starred in 'Cabaret' this season, opted for a similar full-on metallic look from the makeup to the hair to the nails to the suit. 'I was inspired by a Tony award. Literally that was my inspo,' Lambert told WWD on the red carpet ahead of the awards at Radio City Music Hall. Choreographer Camille A. Brown also opted for a bit of shimmer with gem stones placed along her hair line. Brown and several others, including Audra McDonald nominated for her role in 'Gypsy' and Lea Michele who will star in 'Chess' later this year, went for dark, bold eyes. While eyes were the focus for many stars at the event, some opted for bold lips. Nicole Scherzinger, who took home the award for best actress in a musical, and Sadie Sink, who was nominated for her role in 'John Proctor Is the Villain,' both opted for Old Hollywood-style red lips. Scherzinger's rendition employed Revlon products. Old Hollywood overall was a source of inspiration for many. When it came to hair, many including Amal Clooney, attending with her husband George Clooney who was nominated for his role in 'Good Night, and Good Luck' sported classic curls. Alongside the glamorous hair, she opted for a more minimalistic yet dewy makeup look courtesy of Charlotte Tilbury. Gracie Lawrence donned 1950s-esque curls, a nod to her role as Connie Francis in 'Just in Time' on Broadway, while Brooke Shields went for a slightly looser curl finished with products from her hair care line Commence. In the way of Old Hollywood, Scherzinger's bold updo was inspired by Audrey Hepburn's signature look in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' As per usual, Cynthia Erivo who hosted the awards' ceremony wore her stiletto nails, this time featuring red florals and adorned with crystals courtesy of nail artist Mycah Dior and Aprés Nails. Here, a look at the best beauty looks from the 78th annual Tony Awards.

Addison Rae Debuts Armani Beauty Product in a Behind-the-scenes Look at Her ‘Times Like These' Music Video
Addison Rae is an Armani girl. The 24-year-old pop artist, who released her debut album 'Addison' on Friday, made her love for the luxury beauty brand abundantly clear in the music video for her moody hit, 'Times Like These,' directed by photographer Ethan James Green. In the footage, she's seen dancing across a ferry boat and in a dressing room with pinched, pink cheeks and pouty lips, both painted in the new Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Shine in shade 62S Magnetic Mauve, which launched in May. More from WWD James Read Brings Skin Care-focused Self-tanning Line to the U.S. With Credo Partnership Why Guava-themed Beauty Launches Are Going to Be Everywhere This Summer From Cole Escola's Glittery Eyes to Cynthia Erivo's Stiletto Nails, a Look at the Best Beauty Moments at the 2025 Tony Awards Rae paraded the bottle in front of the camera and dotted the pigmented makeup on her face. In a behind-the-scenes look on TikTok, she — again — highlighted the product, adding another layer to her cheeks before flashing a smile in the mirror. 'Can't get enough of @Armani beauty cheek tint shines,' her caption read. The bright hue on her face was contrasted with a misty shadow on her eyelids and dark brown brows. The shadow was courtesy of Armani's Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow in shade 32S. Meanwhile, her skin was dressed in Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 5.75 and the Luminous Silk Concealer in shade 5.25 to achieve an even and natural finish. Makeup artist Jenna Kuchera created Rae's aesthetic for not only her new video, but for 'Headphones On,' too. Her hair, styled by Lucas Wilson, gets more grandiose as the video goes on, starting with combed beach waves and ending with mile-high, majorly teased extensions à la Tracy Turnblad in 'Hairspray.' Rae's not-so-subtle Armani advertisement comes at a time when music videos are increasingly being used like product infomercials. On the frontlines of this movement are Sabrina Carpenter and Prada Beauty. Carpenter hard-launched her partnership with the Italian brand in her 'Please, Please, Please' short film last year, revealing Prada's first mascara and the Color Changing Lip Balm in Astral Pink. She was then seen using a Prada Beauty lipstick in 'Taste,' and just recently dropped a major Easter egg for the brand's upcoming product in 'Manchild,' which sees her snacking on a Prada-stamped bag of banana candies.
