It is organized into 12 sections that each represent a characteristic defining dandy style — Ownership, Presence, Distinction, Disguise, Freedom, Champion, Respectability, Jook (defined in Zora Neale Hurston's Characteristics of Negro Expression —an important reference for the exhibiton—as a space for dancing, drinking, and other leisure activities), Heritage, Beauty, Cool, and Cosmopolitanism.
The dress code, announced in February, is 'Tailored for You,' which focuses on the exhibition's centering of menswear and suits.

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' Teases the Debut of Another Classic Villain
James Gunn talks about balancing the human and the alien in Superman. Predator: Killer of Killers shows off its brutal hunter in action. Plus, the Carrie TV series rounds out its cast. Spoilers, away! The Fantastic Four: First Steps During his recent appearance at CCXPMX 25 this past weekend (via Yahoo! Entertainment), Joseph Quinn revealed the Fantastic Four's very first villain, the Mole Man, makes an appearance in First Steps. We've got a lot of fantastic characters in there. There is also Mole Man, who is wonderful in it, but Galactus is the big bad. He's the big, evil, planet-gobbling space god…He's played brilliantly by the wonderful Ralph [Ineson]. And Silver Surfer, played by the brilliant Julia Garner. We were very lucky to work with her, she's excellent in the film. There are lots of brilliant characters in this film, that's for sure. Weapons During a recent interview with Empire Online, Zach Cregger described Weapons as a 'fun' and 'inviting' horror movie that will not be 'a grim, morose slog' like some of its contemporaries. [It's] a fun movie. It's funny, it's scary, it's inviting. It's not a grim, morose slog. And yet the story it tells is really fucked up. Superman Elsewhere, James Gunn compared Superman to Godzilla Minus One in a recent interview with the Japanese news outlet, Cinema Today. My goal was to make a film like Godzilla Minus One, which depicted Godzilla but also had great human drama. There is a human story at the root. Superman and the flying dog (Krypto) also appear in this film, but at its core is a human story. The relationship between Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and (villain) Lex Luthor is at the core of the work. I portray a character with optimism and hope that we associate with Superman, with goodness, kindness, compassion, and an attitude that values human life. However, the world he lives in is one in which these things are no longer as important as they used to be. There is some overlap with the real world we live in. Predator: Killer of Killers The Predator handily defeats some Vikings in a new clip from Predator: Killer of Killers. The Sound Sadieland has released a final trailer for its supernatural rock-climbing movie, The Sound, coming to select theaters and VOD this June 27. Marc Hills, Rachel Finninger, Nicholas Baroudi, Jocelyn Hudon, William Fichtner, Christina Kirkman, Jolene Kay, David Clennon, and Kyle Gass star alongside real-life rock climbers Hazel Findlay, Brette Harrington, Adrian Ballinger, and Alex Honnold. Carrie Starring opposite Summer Howell as Carrie White in Mike Flanagan's upcoming TV series, Deadline has confirmed that Samantha Sloyan will play Margaret White, alongside Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, Josie Totah as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, and Joel Oulette as Tommy. My Sad Dead Variety has word Chilean director Pablo Larraín is attached to direct 'a new four-part horror drama miniseries' at Netflix titled My Sad Dead. The story is said to follow 'Ema, a 60-year-old doctor, [who] can see and hear the dead. She calls them 'presences' and has lived her entire life avoiding letting this gift connect her with the suffering of others. But when her niece Julie, a disturbed young woman who can also communicate with the dead, but in a much more intense and sexual manner, arrives at her house, Ema is forced to get involved.' Mercedes Morán, Dolores Fonzi, Alejandra Flechner, Carlos Portaluppi, Germán de Silva, Luz Jiménez and Carolina Sánchez Álvarez are attached to star. The Summer Hikaru Died Netflix has also released a trailer for the second season of The Summer Hikaru Died, premiering this July 5. Peacemaker Finally, a behind-the-scenes 'sizzle reel' reveals a new, blue-and-white incarnation of Robert Patrick's late character, the White Dragon, appears in the second season of Peacemaker.

Fashion has been a business of social construct, as much as it is a functional necessity for every day. The social side of fashion happens during culturally relevant events like the Met Gala, Oscars, Art Basel, and Coachella, to name a few.

Pregnant Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Take Their Date Night to Cannes
Parading her baby bump, pregnant took her date night with A$AP Rocky to Cannes for a second night. On Tuesday, they had a fashionable and powerful couple moment in voguish outfits, posing for the paparazzi after a romantic dinner date. Backgrid shared exclusive snippets from their outing in the French Riviera's La Croisette, looking stylish and head-over-heels in love. In addition, the couple, who shared two sons, RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers, seemed just about ready to welcome their third child. Rihanna would never miss a good opportunity to flaunt her baby bump, and her dinner date with A$AP Rocky in the French Riviera seemed like a decent enough excuse. The couple brought their top PDA and fashion games to Cannes as they enjoyed a romantic outing in full-throttle stylish looks. Interestingly, the mom-to-be's dress with dramatic cutouts and a sky-high thing slit was a lot more risqué than Rocky's classy suit. Backgrid's photos from the night showed them posing under a bridge on the La Croisette and not holding back from delivering. The snaps from Tuesday night offered glimpses of the singer's one-shoulder bodice and a massive midriff cutout. This also sufficed for her to bare her growing belly. Moreover, the skirt of Rihanna's outfit appeared to be hanging by a hook, piecing it all together and forming a sultry slit on the side. She completed the ensemble with transparent strap heels. On the other hand, the rapper wore a classic pant suit as he lovingly held the mother of his children while they packed on PDA. The video offered a glimpse of the moment. The night before, pregnant Rihanna and A$AP Rocky attended the Cannes Film Festival 2025, serving one of their best fashion statements. It marked their second public appearance since the Met Gala when she debuted her baby bump and revealed their third pregnancy. The Grammy-winning musician had shown up in a blue draped dress while her baby daddy stuck to his black suit, white shirt, and striped tie. That evening, she also had her 'Umbrella' moment as photos showed the duo enjoying a rainy outing. The post Pregnant Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Take Their Date Night to Cannes appeared first on Reality Tea.
