Ashley Graham Reveals Last-Minute Met Gala Wardrobe Mishap; Find Out How She Saved the Night
Ashley Graham may have exuded effortless glamour at the 2025 Met Gala, but behind the scenes, the supermodel was dealing with a wardrobe emergency that could have derailed her night. In a candid Substack post on May 22, Graham opened up about the last-minute chaos she faced after spilling mint oil on her custom BOSS gown just before stepping out.
Graham attended the 2025 Met Gala celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' in a sleek grey-and-white pinstripe gown crafted to perfection. But just as she was preparing to leave, a drop of mint oil landed on the bust of her dress—prompting a flurry of attempts to salvage the situation.
With the elevator out of order and time running out, Graham and her team tried everything from hair dryers to cleaning sprays, but nothing worked. 'There's nothing that's going to help, except for some Dawn and a dry cleaner possibly,' she wrote.
Thinking on her feet, Graham came up with a stylish solution: she used a stunning diamond brooch by Nikos Koulis to mask the stain. 'Well, I am tooting my own horn here… it was my bright idea,' she admitted. The sparkling piece—an open-loop design encrusted with diamonds—fit perfectly over the discolored area, blending seamlessly into the look.
Though she joked that she regretted not having more brooches on hand, the single accessory became the centerpiece of her ensemble. She paired the brooch with matching statement earrings that wrapped elegantly around her ear and added a satin pocket square to complete her tailored, theme-appropriate appearance.
The 37-year-old later shared behind-the-scenes snapshots on Instagram, including one of her team frantically trying to dry the stain and another showing her elation when the brooch worked like magic. Her cheeky caption? 'Oil spill on aisle MET GALA.' In true supermodel fashion, Graham didn't let a wardrobe malfunction steal the spotlight—she turned it into one of the evening's most talked-about moments.

Train Your Core Like Malaika Arora: Quick Lower Abs Workout Explained
Last Updated: Malaika Arora stays dedicated to fitness and recently shared a lower abs workout, encouraging fans to train their core with leg lifts. Malaika Arora stands out as a celebrity who truly practices what she preaches—maintaining a consistent fitness routine without fail. She frequently offers her followers a peek into her workout sessions, motivating them to prioritise their health and embrace an active lifestyle. Whether it's an early morning workout or an intense gym day, Malaika remains dedicated and never misses a session. Recently, Malaika shared an Instagram post featuring a workout specifically designed to sculpt the lower abs quickly. She captioned it, 'Your core is your power center—train it like it matters," and recommended performing two sets of thirty leg lifts each. Place your palms facing down, tucking your hands just beneath your glutes to create a small support or 'shelf" that eases the leg raise. Press your lower back firmly into the floor or mat throughout the exercise to avoid injury. Arching your back can cause strain. Keep your chin slightly tucked and lower your legs slowly toward the floor, ideally stopping a few inches above it. You may keep your neck neutral (looking up) if more comfortable, but tucking your chin helps maintain spinal alignment. Lower your legs only as far as you can without letting your lower back lift off the floor. If you can't raise your legs back up after lowering them, lift them less next time. Engage your core as you lift your legs back up to the starting position. Breathe naturally—inhale while lowering, exhale while lifting—or find a rhythm that suits you, but avoid holding your breath. Benefits of Leg Raises Helps reduce fat around the lower abdomen and legs Strengthens and tones muscles in the abdomen and legs Targets and sculpts the lower abdominal muscles effectively Engages hamstrings, calf muscles and glutes for overall leg strength Can be performed comfortably even while lying down in bed Enhances focus and mental concentration Malaika's workout is a simple yet powerful move that anyone can incorporate into their fitness routine to build a strong core and toned lower body.

Video: Woman Books Ola Bike Ride For 180 Metres, Reason Leaves Internet Amused
In a bizarre incident that's gone viral, a woman booked an Ola Bike ride for a mere 180 metres- just to avoid a pack of street dogs. The short video was recorded and shared on Instagram by the bike rider himself. In the clip, the driver arrives at the pickup point and asks the woman for the one-time password (OTP). After entering it, he glances at the map and notices that her drop location is just 180 metres away. Puzzled, he asks the woman whether she has selected the right drop location since it was just a short distance away. The woman confirms she booked the ride and that the distance is accurate. The Ola driver then asks the passenger why she opted for such a short ride. To this, the woman explains that she is scared of the street dogs in the area and didn't want to risk walking past them. The rider, amused but professional, drops the woman at her destination and ends the trip. At the end of the video, the app shows that the customer had to pay only Rs 19. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ROHIT VLOGSTER (@rohitvlogster) Since being shared, the video has gone viral, garnering 7 million views and over 197,000 likes. Instagram users flooded the comments section with various reactions. While some responded with laughing emojis, others thanked the driver for helping the woman feel safe. "Thank you brother for helping a girl feel safe," wrote one user. "It is better to give 19 rupees than to get injected," commented another. "She is Right,, 19 rs its not big deal,, if dog bite, it will cost injury / pain/ time/ 1900," wrote a third user. Some users also joked with the meme term "Techologia", a humorous twist on the word for technology, while others pointed out the absence of any dog visible in the video. "Ek bhi dog toh dikha nahi (Not a single dog was seen?)", asked one user.
