Kehlani Wore a Shimmery Archival Dior Dress by John Galliano to the BET Awards
Sure enough, she and stylist Anastasia Walker landed on an archival Christian Dior dress by John Galliano, a strapless number featuring gold baroque-inspired beading over light blue fabric. (The pattern juxtaposed with her many tattoos.) There were dangling zipper details on the straps and on the hip-high leg slit. As for accessories, she wore metallic Tom Ford heeled sandals and jewelry by Alexis Bittar. Quran Smith styled her hair into loose, glam waves; makeup artist Troye Batiste gave her a soft-glam look; and Johana Castillo, a.k.a. @masterweenay, handled her intricate manicure.
Kehlani was nominated in two categories for this year's ceremony: Best Female R&B/Pop Artist and Video of the Year for 'After Hours,' a song which also earned her a Grammy nod. Although the festivities are over, the singer has more to celebrate this week. Tomorrow, she's releasing a new single, titled 'Folded,' an R&B post-breakup ballad that'll have you singing in the rain like you're in a 2000s music video. 'Come pick up your clothes, I have them folded,' she sings in the chorus, following a sweeping string intro. The track is produced by Khris Riddick-Tynes (who collaborated on 'After Hours'), Andre Harris, Donovan Knight, and Don Mills.

The themes of the track bleed through the entire album, a project rooted in identity, family and the concept of 'home.' 'RHODAis an album about finding home and finding foundation. I went through a pretty life-changing experience with the loss of my mom, and through that grief, I started wondering what home is and what my foundation is because I didn't understand how much of my confidence and understanding came from my mom's reassurance, direction, or guidance,' reflected Banx in an Instagram video. 'When she passed on, it felt like I didn't know where to go or what to do or what was going on for real. That led me to think a lot. I started writing more. I started exploring those thoughts more. That led me to the understanding that home is a feeling. Home is wrapped up in all these experiences that create the foundation of who you are.'

Sabrina Carpenter Jumps Back Into The Top 10 Just Before Dropping A New Album
In a few days, Sabrina Carpenter's breakout album Short n' Sweet will turn one year old. The pop superstar released the full-length on August 23, 2024, and as she prepares to celebrate the title's first anniversary, she's also gearing up to deliver another full-length to the world. Man's Best Friend is expected to drop at the end of the month, and Carpenter is likely focusing her attention on that studio effort as well as its lead single 'Manchild.' Short n' Sweet was so massively successful that there's a lot of anticipation for Man's Best Friend and what she has coming next. But that doesn't mean that Americans have stopped listening to the recently-named Grammy winner's album that turned her into a household name. Short n' Sweet Nears the Top Tier on Three Billboard Charts Just two weeks shy of its first year on the Billboard rankings, Short n' Sweet climbs across multiple tallies this frame. The project, which collected the Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy, appears on four rosters, and it lifts on all of them. Short n' Sweet sits just below the top 10 on three of those rankings, as the hit-packed pop effort improves on the Top Streaming Albums, Vinyl Albums, and Top Album Sales charts, coming in at Nos. 12, 13, and 14, respectively. Sabrina Carpenter Returns to the Top 10 Short n' Sweet beats those positions on the Billboard 200, where it rockets back into the top 10. This time around, Carpenter pushes her sixth LP from No. 16 to No. 10. Luminate reports that the set enjoyed a growth in total consumption of almost 5%, and that in the past tracking period, it moved just under 30,000 equivalent units throughout the United States. 'Espresso,' 'Please Please Please' and 'Taste' Live on the Global Lists While 'Manchild' is the focus for Carpenter, and that tune reaches a new high point on several of Billboard's pop radio rankings, the three biggest singles from Short n' Sweet also live on multiple tallies. 'Espresso,' 'Please Please Please,' and 'Taste' can be found on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excluding U.S., and in every instance, they climb. 'Espresso,' which helped introduce Carpenter to a mass audience after years of hard work, even keeps at No. 5 on the Adult Contemporary ranking well over a year after it debuted.
