The coordinated piece included a cinched waist for added silhouette definition and a pencil skirt with a hemline below The Honest Company founder's knees. Alba coordinated the look with a matching clutch in a similar fabric and shade of blue.
Alba completed the look with pointed-toe white pumps and accessorized with statement earrings. She also wore black sunglasses. Alba regularly collaborates with stylist Ariella Masjedi.
Chavarria, who launched his eponymous label in 2015, celebrated his 10th anniversary with his spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection. The curation of pieces, called 'Huron' as an homage to the rural town in California's San Joaquin Valley where Chavarria was born, featured bursts of color and included menswear as well as womenswear.
'Chavarria flashed his showman's side with a collection that was bursting with color inspired by the images of Guy Bourdin, whose photography he's been thinking a lot about lately,' Samantha Conti wrote in WWD's review of the collection.
'My head of design, Rebeca Mendoza, is helping me define womenswear, and making sure that it always comes from a female perspective, because that's important,' Chavarria said, per Conti's review.
Known primarily for his menswear designs, Chavarria's spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection featured models 'sporting delightfully bourgeois bouffant hairstyles, and wide-brimmed hats, some adorned with silk roses,' Conti wrote, adding the showcase included 'curvy shirtdresses with pointy collars, structured satin trenches and jackets with puffed-up power shoulders.'

Roku Drops 2025 Streaming Stick to Freebie Territory While Amazon Fire TV Stick Stays Full Price
Do you still have an old TV without any of the smart features, but aren't ready to replace it yet? Maybe you do have a smart TV but you're not a fan of that specific manufacturer's interface. I know I've got a bone to pick with LG and its pseudo-Wiimote motion controls. The good news is you're not locked into what your TV alone has to offer. You can get yourself a Roku streaming stick for hardly any cash at all so you can adopt a super intuitive and reliable way to stream content. It's normally priced at $30, which ain't that bad, but you can get it even cheaper for a limited time. The price has been reduced by 37% which shaved it down by $11. That means you can grab one for a measly $19. I spent more than that at Taco Bell today. See at Amazon This 2025 model Roku streaming stick will grant you access to thousands of apps like Netflix, Disney Plus, and Apple TV. The home screen can be customized to your liking so you can keep your most used services at the ready to easily hop back into as you sit yourself down on the couch. Additionally, you'll gain access to a number of Roku originals with no cost and no subscription. Check out free hits like Dinner Budget Showdown, Celebrity Family Food Battle, Martha Cooks, Emeril Cooks — apparently I can only list cooking shows. I sure they have other stuff too.

It can be plugged right back into the TV itself on the other end, powering it off the TV's power. That keep the whole unit fully out of sight, avoiding clutter and freeing up a spot on your nearby outlet or power strip. The Roku remote can be synced with your TV so you can turn it on and off, control volume, and operate your Roku device all with just the one remote. IT also has a voice button so you can search for your favorite TV shows or movies just by saying the title instead of needing to navigate and annoying on-screen keyboard.

Cardi B Slams Critics Saying She Body-Shamed Fans: 'Don't Cry About It'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Cardi B has addressed backlash after being accused of making fatphobic comments during a livestream. The Up singer posted a video to the platform—which has since garnered 1.7 million likes and 10.7 million views—responding to criticism that began when she called her fans "fat f****" on a livestream after the largest size of merchandise quickly sold out. She said: "So this will be the last video that I make on this. The fact that I was making a joke between me and my fans. My fans was joking on Twitter how they sold out the 3x large shirts. And my fans were like, damn, us Bardi getting big. Damn, we could never make big jokes no more because we big." Plus-sized content creator Samyra posted several TikTok videos expressing surprise and disappointment over Cardi B's remarks. Newsweek reached out to Cardi B's publicists and Samyra via email. File photo: Cardi B attends the Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on July 8, 2025 in Paris, France.

PascalSamyra said she felt the rapper's comments were fatphobic, particularly given that artists often fail to provide inclusive sizing in their merch. She added that 3XL is not technically considered plus-size, and said this lack of consideration extends to clothing collaborations as well. Samyra said that pairing limited sizing with fatphobic jokes sends the message that plus-size fans are undervalued. She also questioned why Cardi B—who has previously worked with the plus-size singer Lizzo—would make such remarks, and offered a list of books on fatphobia for the rapper to read. Samyra concluded by urging Cardi B to "unlearn fatphobia and stand up for them instead of standing against them." Cardi B initially responded by telling Samyra to "shut up," insisting the situation was "not that serious" and that her comments were a joke shared with her fans, not aimed at Samyra. Cardi B refused to apologize or read a book on the matter, saying she makes fun of everybody and that people should be able to laugh at themselves. She added that she would rather dedicate that time to learning more about other societal issues. Cardi B added that her fans were in on the joke and not offended, and accused Samyra of projecting her own insecurities onto the situation. Samyra later posted a written statement saying: "When I spoke about Cardi B's fatphobic comments, I did so respectfully, with the hope of encouraging her to think about the impact of her words on plus-size fans. Her choice to respond by telling me to 'shut the f*** up' and to 'calm my p*****' was vulgar, dismissive and escalated the issue entirely." Samyra added that, while she was used to "fatphobic harassment" online, the exchange had intensified it, prompting her to take a break from posting, to protect her peace. In another video, Cardi B said she felt she had been "attacked" on the app and that the controversy had turned TikTok into a negative space for her. She added that her original comments were an "open form joke" with her fans, not intended to hurt anyone's feelings, and accused Samyra of inserting herself into the joke and making multiple videos about it. The rapper refused to issue an apology, on the basis it would be "fake and forced." Cardi B said that she understood the existence of body shaming and dysmorphia, recalling her own insecurities over her "flat a**" when she was younger, but added that she had not intended to offend anyone. She expressed a wish for the topic to be "laid to rest" and said if people felt better making fun of her in return, they should. Sabrina Greer, founder of fEMPOWER Publications and a publicist for female entrepreneurs, told Newsweek: "Cardi B's 'fat f***s"' remark was, by her own admission, a joke. And, in isolation, maybe that's all it might have been. But it didn't land in isolation … did it? Rather, it landed, like a grenade, right smack dab into the middle of a culture shaped by decades of systemic body shaming." Greer said this long history creates hypervigilance and defensiveness, making even a joke feel like another wound. Noting that Cardi B herself has faced body-based criticism, Greer added that humor from someone with such influence can reinforce the idea that larger bodies are fair game. The incident has divided TikTok users, sparking conversations about cancel culture and the responsibilities of public figures. Nae wrote: "I just want to say, especially to people in the comments, 1. Samyra never disrespected Cardi but that wasn't reciprocated. 2. Clearly it's a 'big deal' bc [because] some people were offended. 3. Y'all keep saying Cardi's fans weren't offended but to my knowledge Samyra has never said that she wasn't a fan. If yall know that Samyra dedicates her platform to addressing fatphobia, clearly it wasn't an attack on Cardi bc of who she is. It's the principle." Others took a different view. "People are dying, Samyra," wrote Chelsea Porter, while a third user said: "It was genuinely never that serious ppl [people] at my school would get canceled everyday." And one commenter encouraged her to keep going: "Samyra please don't stop talking about this!" Do you have any viral videos or pictures that you want to share? We want to see the best ones!

Kid Cudi reveals some of his darkest moments amid rise to fame in new memoir: "There was a huge spotlight on me"
Kid Cudi isn't holding back. In his new book, "Cudi: The Memoir," the rapper – whose real name is Scott Mescudi – reveals some of the darkest hours early in his career, and how he managed to turn the page. "I was running to the grave. I had a death wish and I was so dark and suicidal," Mescudi said of the start of his career, when he was around 25 years old. In an interview that aired Wednesday on "CBS Mornings," Mescudi told CBS News senior culture correspondent Anthony Mason that the haunting memory inspired the song "Grave," featured on his new album, "Free," scheduled to be released later this month. Mescudi grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland. At 11 years old, he lost his dad to cancer. Nearly a decade later, he left his hometown for New York City. There, he met a producer who went by the name Dot da Genius, and was invited to move in with him and his family. "Dot's dad is single-handedly responsible for the rise of 'Kid Cudi,' you know," Mescudi said. Together, Dot and Mescudi changed hip-hop. Mescudi found a unique way to carve out his own identity in the music industry: he was honest. "You never heard a hip-hop artist say they're lonely," explained Mescudi, referring to the lyrics in his hit song "Day 'n' Nite," which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Solo Performance. He was even embraced by Kanye West. "Standing next to Kanye really, you know, his fame kind of bled into my world. And there was a huge spotlight on me early that I just wasn't prepared for that," Mescudi said. The sudden success was overwhelming, and Mescudi admits he turned to drugs. "The reason I was doing cocaine was so I could maintain, so I didn't blow my brains out," Mescudi said. In 2016, while in rehab, he suffered a stroke at 32 years old. His doctor told him that because he was young, he could "bounce back from this." Mescudi left rehab thinking, "If I ever do cocaine again, I'm going to die." He's stayed clean ever since. In May, Mescudi returned to New York to testify in the sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Combs was acquitted in July of sex trafficking and racketeering, but convicted on prostitution-related counts. He will stay in jail until his sentencing hearing in October. "It was really hard. I didn't want to do it. I got subpoenaed," said Mescudi, recalling he made eye contact with Combs at the time while on the stand. He told the court that Combs broke into his house in 2011 after finding out he was dating the music mogul's ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura. "I knew I was helping Cassie. I just wanted to be there and help her out," he said, adding, "I know I did the right thing, so that's all that matters." But Mescudi said the backlash to his testimony was swift. "I had a lot of people that supported me, but there were a few that were -- had some opinions about it," he said. "It was interesting because I'm not no street dude. I don't live by no code, you know? So I guess it's because I'm a rapper. People just threw that on me. But, like, my music has never been about that and I have never tried to pretend I was about that." Mescudi's relationship with Kanye West, now known as Ye, is more complicated. He describes them as "polar opposites" who once worked on the same frequency. He described their fallout as "really heartbreaking" and says it's a "sad thing" that their partnership is over. "I think he has [broken my heart] over and over multiple times," Mescudi said. "Just the code of friendship. He's said some things that there's just no coming back from." Specifically, Mescudi mentioned Ye's disparaging comments about the late Virgil Abloh, his former creative director. Abloh, the artistic director of Louis Vuitton and founder of the brand Off-White, collaborated with both Mescudi and Ye. "Every time he took a dig at Virgil, it just made me super angry. Virgil was an angel to everyone," said Mescudi, noting that Ye's remarks continued even after Abloh's death from cancer at age 41. To Mescudi, there's no coming back from that. "I loved Kanye, you know, I really loved him. He was part of my life changing and at some point he was a really good friend, you know. But the man he has become – I just don't know that guy anymore," Mescudi said. But Mescudi is looking ahead to his next chapter in life. He married fashion designer Lola Abecassis Sartore in the South of France in June. He joyfully recalls the moment his "hands started shaking" as he got down on one knee to propose to her at a temple in Kyoto, Japan, in December 2023. The achievement that he is most proud of is being the father of 15-year-old Vada Mescudi. "See me in parent mode or Uncle Scott mode, I'm on fire," he said. Kid Cudi's new book, "Cudi: The Memoir," is now available.
