Laura Harrier wears couture denim look by Gap at Met Gala in NYC
Integrating Gap's design heritage with couture-level detailing, the look draws on the brand's deep authority in denim and natural fibers. The look combines raw, natural denim, shank buttons, and double-needle stitching—hallmarks of the Gap brand—with elongated pant legs cut in double-face duchess silk satin, a fabric more often found in evening wear than casual wear. Voluminous sheer sleeves in cotton organdie add softness and airiness, echoing Gap's use of natural textiles like cotton poplin.
At the 2025 Met Gala, Laura Harrier wore a custom GapStudio look by Zac Posen, blending denim heritage with couture elements like duchess satin and organdie. Inspired by Black dandyism and Harrier's family history, the outfit marks Posen's first Met Gala pants design. Posen wore a Banana Republic tuxedo tailored by Mr. Ned, honouring craftsmanship and expression.
This marks Posen's first-ever Met Gala creation to feature pants—a deliberate, symbolic choice aligned with the evening's theme: a tribute to Black style, personal presentation, and the historical significance of Black dandyism as a form of elegance, resistance, and self-definition.
"Dandyism was both a form of rebellion and a uniform of entry," said Posen . "I wanted to honor that dichotomy by applying a sculptural technique to tailoring—treating a pant look with the reverence I typically reserve for a gown."
The design was also informed by archival family photographs of Harrier's father and grandfather in their Sunday best, offering a personal connection through which the look celebrates Black heritage, family, and tradition. It is both a tribute and a transformation—uniting workwear and aristocracy, restraint and expression.
GapStudio launched in April 2025 with Collection 01, signaling a new direction for Gap rooted in expert tailoring, modern silhouettes, and limited-edition drops. The studio's work is currently appearing on red carpets and aims to bring artistry and accessibility into the global style conversation.
Zac Posen attended the Met Gala wearing a custom Banana Republic suit, the look underscores the brands commitment to quality and craftsmanship—blending American and Italian tailoring with a wool-linen blend from Italy's esteemed Marzotto mill, tailored by Mr. Ned—the family-owned bespoke suit makers in New York City. The result is a sophisticated, denim-inspired tuxedo that embraces the spirit of dandyism using fabrics that evoke bold contrasts and expressive character.

50-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio and 27-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti share Kiss on Yacht Getaway in Spain
Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti were spotted enjoying a romantic yacht trip in Spain. The Oscar-winning actor, 50, and the Italian model, 27, were photographed sharing a kiss while relaxing off the coast of Formentera on Friday, August 15, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail. The couple lounged on the yacht, swam in the Mediterranean Sea, and spent time mingling with a larger group on board. At one point, Ceretti placed her hand on DiCaprio's back as they walked up the stairs together. She wore an animal-print bikini, while DiCaprio kept it casual in black swim trunks. The two also wore goggles while taking a dip in the water. A rare public glimpse of their romance Though the couple has been linked since August 2023, public sightings of them together have been rare. Their yacht outing in Formentera gave fans a closer look at their relationship, which has largely remained private. Traveling and spending time on yachts seems to be a shared pastime for the pair. This summer, DiCaprio and Ceretti were seen attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding celebrations in Venice. On June 26, they were photographed leaving the Gritti Palace Hotel before the wedding welcome party. DiCaprio opted for a dark suit and cap, while Ceretti wore a long neutral dress with stitching details, a chic updo, and carried a nude clutch bag. What has Vittoria Ceretti said about dating Leonardo DiCaprio? Earlier this year, Ceretti spoke about her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio for the first time in an interview with Vogue France. While she avoided naming him directly, the magazine referred to him as a 'very, very famous actor.' The model shared that they first met in Milan but chose not to go into details. She also opened up about the challenges of being in a high-profile relationship. 'As soon as you're in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become 'girlfriend of', or 'boyfriend of,' for that matter. And that can be extremely annoying,' she told Vogue France. Vittoria Ceretti added that the public labels can feel restrictive. 'Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so's girlfriend who was so-and-so's ex. So, it's not nice to think that you can't love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you.' Despite the attention, Ceretti said dating someone as famous as DiCaprio is 'something you learn.' She shared, 'If what you're experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence."

Barbara Palvin opens up about endometriosis and recovery after surgery: 'I've been dealing with the difficulties'
Hungarian model and actor Barbara Palvin opened up about her health battle, sharing that she has been diagnosed with endometriosis and is recovering from the surgery, reported E! News. "Just a little update and a few thoughts for those out there who could relate to what I'm about to share," Barbara wrote in her Instagram post, adding, "For some years now I've been dealing with the difficulties that can come with my periods. Fatigue, severe pain, heavy and irregular flow, sleepless nights on the bathroom floor." "I thought this was just how it works for me," she continued. "But recently I've been advised to seek out an endometriosis specialist to see whether my symptoms are caused by that. I've been going to checkups to my gynecologist every year, I thought if I had endometriosis I would have known about it by now, but as it turns out, endometriosis can't be diagnosed with general examinations." Three months after being diagnosed with endometriosis, a disorder in which tissue similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, according to The Mayo Clinic, the actor has to undergo surgery for the treatment, as per the outlet. "Since then I finally experienced a period that was easier, and now I know the difference," she said. "If you suspect that you could have endometriosis I encourage you to find it out. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It helped me a lot, and I'm grateful I did it," reported E!

"That's also why I took the past 3 months to rest and fully heal. I'm excited about this new chapter of my life and now ready to get back to work." Barbara also posted a few pictures showing her condition. In one of the pictures, she was seen in a hospital gown and in the other with bandages post-surgery. Meanwhile, actor Dylan Sprouse talked about his wife, Barbara Palvin, earlier in an interview, sharing what he learned from her, reported E! News. "In general, marriage has taught me a lot of patience and communication," he said earlier this month. "Obviously, that's the cliche, that people say communication is key, but it really is. It's also just understanding you're both human and you both do things." "For most people's lives, until they're in a really serious relationship, they're used to being in survival mode, which is, 'How do I survive independently and live?'" he shared, adding, "And then when you are in a committed relationship and you're married, you have to rewire yourself to be like, 'Oh, I'm fighting for two people. And everything I think of now is what we do together'", reported E! News. "Get the latest news updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."

Indian Man, Married To US Woman, Gives Hilarious Take On Love Vs Arranged Marriage
A video of an Indian man's witty reply on love versus arranged marriage with an American wife has gone viral, highlighting the differences between Indian and American perspectives on marriage. The video was shared on Instagram by the couple, Deepak and Hannah, with the caption, "It was definitely an arranged marriage." Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Deepak and Hannah (@deepakandhannah) In the video, the couple can be seen discussing the unusual questions they often face after getting married to each other. Deepak asked his wife, "What's the weirdest thing people ask you after getting married to me?" Hannah said social media users often ask, "If I have a sister for them to marry." She also said that users are interested in babies. She then asked Deepak the same question. He replied jokingly that people ask whether their marriage was an arranged or a love marriage. He said, "How can it be possible? Like my parents went to Michigan, America, to find a woman for me? Of course, it is a love marriage, guys." Arranged marriages are common in India, with parents playing a vital role in selecting partners based on factors like family background, income and social standing. Meanwhile, American culture focuses on individual choice, with people often selecting partners based on personal compatibility and love. The post also suggests that the couple likely faced challenges navigating these cultural differences, but their experience may also have brought benefits. Here's how social media users reacted "Sisters hahah get it all the time too!!! You're so cute, guys." one user wrote. "I get it though. My kids are half Indian and they are bloody adorable...... just saying," another said. "Agree with the asking to set up with family members or anyone from US. Those are such strange messages to receive. We like to joke our marriage was self arranged," a third added.
