Zendaya's Met Gala 2025 "Bridal" Look Is A Must-See
This year's Met Gala exhibit is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The theme is "Tailored for You." It's based on Monica L. Miller's 2009 book, Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.

Last year, Zendaya solidified her title as an undisputed princess of the Met Gala (Rihanna is the queen) when she wore not one or two but three amazing looks.
As a co-chair for the 2024 Met Gala, Zendaya's first gown was a custom Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano.
Phillip Treacy designed Zendaya's second gown for Alexander McQueen.
Once inside, the Dune actor switched into a glittery custom-made gown by Celia Kritharioti.

So, of course, we expected a masterpiece for this year's Met Gala and Zendaya delivered.
Zendaya wore a white custom, 3-piece Louis Vuitton suit that most certainly channeled her bridal era, considering her recent engagement to long-time beau and Spider-Man costar, Tom Holland.
The suit was designed by Pharrell Williams, who served as co-chair for this year's event.

Her look is seemingly an homage to several iconic fashion moments by very famous women in suits, including Diana Ross's iconic look in the 1975 movie Mahogany.

Funny enough, Zendaya actually arrived at the same time as Diana Ross for this year's Met Gala and had a full-on fangirl moment.

Diana made her triumphant return to the Met Gala in a dress that fittingly looked like the final evolution of Zendaya's outfit.
Another apparent homage is to the bridal white suit worn by Bianca Jagger at her 1971 wedding to Mick Jagger in St. Tropez. It's a fitting comparison since Zendaya will soon marry a famous British celebrity.
Perhaps Tom pays homage to Mick's suit at his wedding?
Unsurprisingly, the fans are in love with Zendaya's look.

Ancient Roman mosaic in Sicily reveals ‘extraordinary' find resembling modern footwear
An ancient Roman mosaic has recently revealed a millennia-old depiction of flip-flops – showing that certain footwear has always been in style. The discovery was announced by the Archaeological Park of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale on Aug. 4. The villa, an ancient Roman estate, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 and is located in Piazza Armerina, a central Sicilian town. The villa is famous for holding the largest collection of Roman mosaics in the world. 'During recent excavation work, two sandals depicted in a mosaic were discovered, resembling modern flip-flops,' said a statement translated from Italian about the newly unearthed mosaic. Found in a bath complex, the mosaic dates back to the fourth century A.D. 'These are not simple decorations, but rather a refined work created by a mosaic artisan of the fourth century, part of a larger mosaic design that adorned the southern bath section of the Villa.' Officials said that the 'extraordinary' finds are helping to enrich 'the already vast archaeological heritage of the site.' 3 A mosaic featuring footwear that look like flip-flops was discovered at Archaeological Park of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily. Archaeological Park of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale In addition to the flip-flop find, officials also found a mosaic inscription, as well as three columns with their ornate capitals intact. 'These discoveries once again confirm the exceptionally high artistic and architectural level of the Villa, as well as the importance of the ongoing excavations for the historical and cultural reconstruction of the site,' officials said. '[They] not only expand knowledge of the Villa Romana del Casale, but also highlight the value of archaeological research as a fundamental tool for rediscovering and telling the stories of the cultures that preceded our own.' 3 The ancient remains of the Baths of Villa Romana del Casale.

Earlier this spring, an excavator found a piece of chunky Roman jewelry in the British countryside. At the time, archaeologists said the eight-sided ring was 'an uncommon find in the U.K., but not entirely without precedent.'

China's Pop Mart sees profit soar 400% as Labubu dolls fly off shelves around the world
The Chinese maker of the monster hit Labubu dolls said Tuesday its profit soared nearly 400% in the first half of the year as the toothy-grinned plush toy took the world by storm. Beijing-based Pop Mart posted net profit of $636 million, a 396.5% spike compared to the same period in 2024 – and handily beating estimates of a 350% rise over the entire year. Revenue skyrocketed 204.4% to roughly $1.93 billion, far stronger than the 62% growth seen in the same period last year. 3 Pop Mart said its net profit jumped nearly 400% on sales of its popular Labubu dolls. Gabriella Bass Shares in Pop Mart have popped more than 200% so far this year, making the Beijing-based toymaker more valuable than Barbie-maker Mattel and Hello Kitty owner Sanrio. Explosive demand for its Labubu dolls in overseas markets has driven the growth, since the toys sell for higher prices and generate bigger margins in regions like North America. The company sells its Labubu dolls – which have big eyes, sharp-toothed grins and tall ears like a bunny – in 'blind boxes,' so shoppers don't know the exact color they're getting until they open the package. That has turned certain rare Labubu designs into pricey collectibles – going for hundreds of dollars on eBay, with one first-generation figurine recently selling for $150,000 at an auction in Beijing. Celebrities like K-pop singer Lisa, Rihanna and David Beckham have helped fuel the Labubu fever, wearing the tiny monster dolls as keychains on luxury handbags or car keys. Pop Mart said Tuesday it would boost its supply of the dolls, which have been sold out in stores around the world. 3 Labubu sales are expected to pass 10 million units a day by September, according to Pop Mart CEO Wang Ning. Getty Images CEO Wang Ning told Chinese state media last month that sales of Labubu are expected to pass 10 million units a day by September. He added that overseas growth has been much faster than expected, with foreign sales likely to exceed the domestic Chinese market this year. Labubu dolls are included in Pop Mart's 'The Monsters' intellectual property characters. The company said Tuesday that 'The Monsters' accounted for 34.7% of total revenue. 3 Pop Mart has 571 retail stores and 2,597 robot shops across 18 countries and regions. AFP via Getty Images Pop Mart has 571 retail stores – 40 of which opened in the first half of this year – and 2,597 robot shops across 18 countries and regions. It is rapidly expanding, with plans to open a total of 100 new outlets outside the mainland this year. Earlier this month, Pop Mart opened a megastore in Iconsiam, a massive Bangkok shopping center.
