Stars with taste: 9 foodie celebrities who live to eat
2. Florence Pugh
Above Florence Pugh always leads the pack of foodie celebrities.
There are fan bases dedicated to Florence Pugh enjoying food, from her obsession with Krispy Kreme doughnuts to the staple Tabasco sauce in her Valentino bag. Yes, this ultra-talented actress has range—on screen and in the kitchen. Pugh doesn't just make Sunday roasts; she makes cinematic events out of them on Instagram. She's been known to deglaze with sass, slice with style and wax poetic about trifles. 'Cooking with Flo' is an experience, not just a story—and fans eat it up like comfort food with a designer twist. 3. Timothée Chalamet
Yes, that slim, Oscar-nominated body is full of European viennoiseries. Between filming movies and being fashion's favourite elf prince, Timothée Chalamet is famously a fan of Parisian pastries and New York bagels. He was spotted munching croissants in Montmartre and name-dropped Ladurée in interviews. Rumour has it he can distinguish between laminated doughs by smell alone. We can neither confirm nor deny this, but if that skill were true, then he has an obvious place in lists of foodie celebrities. 4. Rosé
BLACKPINK's Rosé isn't just the chicest member of BLACKPINK; she's also a devout foodie. Whether she's in Tokyo sampling omakase or Paris enjoying Michelin-starred bites, she chronicles her food adventures with the precision of a magazine editorial. Her followers know the drill: ambient lighting, close-up shots and the occasional truffle.

Henry Golding loves durian. That alone should tell you a lot about him. Those who are not familiar with his body of work probably won't include him in a roster of foodie celebrities. However, he knows his grub. Born in Malaysia, raised in Britain and fluent in food culture, Golding is the leading man who'll make you swoon and crave laksa. His travels often double as culinary pilgrimages to hawker stalls in Penang or fine dining restaurants in Tokyo. And yes, he can eat sambal without breaking a sweat. 6. Gigi Hadid
Forget runway diets—Gigi Hadid's homemade vodka pasta once broke the internet (and possibly Postmates). She's also been known to bake, meal prep and cook for friends, all while looking like she's posing for the cover of a magazine. Equal parts domestic goddess and MasterChef Celebrity Showdown contestant, Hadid proves that carb love is fashion-forward. 7. Padma Lakshmi
As the former host of Top Chef , Padma Lakshmi has been professionally involved in the culinary world. And the queen of all foodie celebrities takes it to another level. Her personal socials are a feast of global home cooking, spice exploration and fierce commentary about the cultural meaning of food. Bonus points: she eats with the kind of relish that would make Anthony Bourdain proud. 8. Jason Momoa
Is it any wonder the man who plays Aquaman eats like a king? Jason Momoa's food diary includes Guinness pints, artisanal baguettes and entire plates of sashimi devoured in one go. His motto seems to be: if it's good, order two. Possibly three. Preferably with beer. 9. Selena Gomez
Selena's HBO Max show Selena + Chef gave us pandemic-era joy—and a surprisingly impressive range of dishes. With pro chefs guiding her from afar, Gomez learned to flambé, sauté and perfectly plate. It's humble, hilarious and surprisingly informative. Plus, it proves that kitchen chaos can still be chic.

Things you didn't know about Baileys
The name Baileys isn't Irish either According to the Irish Times , Gluckman and Seymour-Davies borrowed the name from Baileys Bistro, a restaurant located beneath their new office in SoHo, London. It just sounded right. Baileys comes in more flavours than you'd expect Above From Dublin to the world: Baileys has won hearts with its variety of flavour twists (photo: Getty Images / Monica Schipper) Beyond the original Irish Cream, the brand has expanded its repertoire to include indulgent favourites like Salted Caramel, Espresso Crème, Chocolate Cherry and Vanilla Cinnamon. Seasonal specials such as Pumpkin Spice keep things fresh, while the vegan-friendly Baileys Almande—made with almond milk—offers a plant-based option. Limited-edition releases such as Strawberries & Cream, Chocolat Luxe and Dulce de Leche (the latter exclusive to Mexico) prove Baileys isn't afraid to experiment. Pure ingredients, proudly sourced Each year, Baileys uses more than 250 million litres of fresh milk sourced directly from Ireland. According to a 2015 report by the Irish government's Merrion Street agency, this milk is collected from over 40,000 cows across 1,500 carefully selected farms. It is then transported to the Baileys facility in Dublin, where it becomes the cream used in the liqueur—a product with a shelf life of up to two years. Above Baileys has come to symbolise indulgence and ease (photo: Instagram / @baileysofficial) At least five men have laid claim to its creation The names most often associated with Baileys' beginnings include David Gluckman, David Dand, Mac Macpherson, Steve Wilson and Tom Jago. Among them, Jago is widely regarded as the most credible source. A pioneer in spirits innovation, he also helped create Johnnie Walker Blue Label and Malibu, and later co-founded The Last Drop Distillers with James Espey. According to Jago, Gluckman and Seymour-Davies were copywriters, Macpherson served as the chemist, Wilson assisted him, and Dand oversaw the project. Together, they experimented with a mix of whiskey, cream, sugar and chocolate, along with a name that would eventually become world-famous. A favourite among women Above Versatile and stylish, Baileys pairs beautifully with a wide range of treats (photo: Instagram / @baileysofficial) With an approachable alcohol content of around 17% and a soft, sweet profile, Baileys holds strong appeal, particularly among women. In 2014, Diageo launched a female-focused campaign titled 'This is for Us,' conceived by an all-female creative team at BBH London. According to Irish Central, the campaign was crafted specifically for the Millennial woman. It isn't just for after dinner In 2019, Baileys debuted a line of coffee creamers (think cold brews in flavours such as Caramel and Irish Coffee) aimed at brightening up your morning ritual. The brand has also ventured into desserts, releasing products like yoghurt and chocolate biscuits for fans wanting a little extra indulgence.

The real side of K-pop idols, captured in these must-watch Youtube series
'Run Jin' with BTS's Jin After finishing his mandatory military service, Jin approached his solo content with the energy of someone who genuinely missed entertaining people. Hosted on the Bangtan TV channel, his show captures the idol's endearing unpredictability—you're never quite sure if he'll triumph or spiral into hilarious disaster. From hiking mountains to channelling his inner action hero as 'Jin Wick', every episode feels like an adventure. His recent Tom Cruise collaboration alone makes Run Jin essential viewing, but it's Jin's willingness to look goofy while trying his absolute hardest that makes each episode compelling. His interactions with younger idols like TXT and Enhyphen also showcase his natural mentoring instincts, creating heartwarming moments between the comedy chaos. 'Hyell's Club' with Girl's Day's Hyeri Imagine the cosiest, most exclusive bar where Korea's biggest stars truly open up. Welcome to Hyell's Club , the Youtube show that combines great drinks, a warm and inviting atmosphere and Hyeri's gift for making conversations flow naturally. The idol-actress strikes a balance between curious interviewer and cheeky friend, creating space for genuine moments while keeping things light and entertaining. Whether she's getting tipsy with Enhyphen or talking shop with Seventeen's Woozi, every episode feels like eavesdropping on the best dinner party conversations. Her 3.8 million-view episode with Blackpink's Jennie proves that sometimes the best content comes from just letting interesting people talk. 'Trick Kode with Nayeon' with TWICE's Nayeon Nayeon's detective show concept is brilliantly simple: figure out the mystery guest's identity through puzzling clues, anonymous audio chats (the guest's voice is distorted) and a forensic scroll through their phones. It's the kind of premise that hooks you instantly, and Nayeon's sharp instincts combined with her dramatic reactions create perfect variety show entertainment. The chemistry between Nayeon and her guests—whether she's bickering with fellow Twice member Jeongyeon or being charmed by The Boyz's Younghoon—makes every episode feel like watching friends play an elaborate, high-stakes guessing game. The K-pop idol's intuition kicks in at just the right moments, creating real suspense as she closes in on the truth. 'Hi Seulgi' with Red Velvet's Seulgi Seulgi has created what feels like the chicest personal Instagram come to life. Her artistic eye transforms everyday moments—cooking diaries, workspace setups, casual outfits—into something inspiring. Just like the idol, the vibe is cool, but never out of reach. But the real magic happens during her collaborations. A spontaneous trip to Yangpyeong with Blackpink's Jisoo or a cosy brunch with aespa's Winter doesn't feel staged—it feels like real friendship, captured in motion. These aren't just celeb hangouts for the camera; they're authentic connections, and that warmth translates beautifully on screen. 'Jeongwaja' with Exo's Kai Exo's Kai takes on a new kind of challenge in Jeongwaja ( Changing Majors ), experiencing firsthand what it's like to study various disciplines at universities across South Korea. His academic adventures are comedy gold: watching him navigate chemistry at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) or attempt voice acting creates the perfect combination of secondhand embarrassment and genuine admiration for his willingness to look completely out of his element. His approach differs from typical idol variety content—Kai brings witty commentary that feels more mature while still being genuinely funny. The format allows viewers to experience university life vicariously while enjoying Kai's fish-out-of-water reactions to academic challenges. 'Siebja' with Twice's Jihyo Jihyo's guesthouse adventures tap into something universally appealing—the curiosity about how other people live and travel. Seeing her take on different accommodations, from a low-key Sokcho guesthouse to omakase-serving Jeju locations, is like getting insider travel tips from someone whose judgment you trust. The show works because the leader of Twice approaches each experience with openness and her trademark determination to make everyone around her comfortable. Her willingness to try everything from paragliding to local drinking games creates real moments that are also entertaining. Credits This article was created with the assistance of AI tools

Hailey Bieber's Rhode to be acquired for US$1 billion—here's what it means
US cosmetics group Elf Beauty announced it is acquiring make-up and skincare brand Rhode, founded by Hailey Bieber, in a landmark billion-dollar deal In what is regarded as one of the biggest celebrity beauty acquisitions in recent years, Hailey Bieber's make-up and skincare label Rhode has just been sold for US$1 billion. Elf Beauty announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Rhode, a rapidly growing lifestyle beauty brand known for its collection of high-tech, everyday skincare products. According to a press release, the deal is 'comprised of US$800 million of consideration payable at closing in a combination of cash and stock, subject to customary adjustments, and an additional potential earnout consideration of US$200 million' based on Rhode's growth over the next three years. The news comes two months after Vogue Business reported that the brand hired investment banks JPMorgan Chase and Moelisto oversee the sale. In case you missed it: Brad Pitt just launched a skincare line—when will consumers grow tired of celebrity beauty brands? Founded in 2022 by Bieber and her business partners, Michael Ratner and Lauren Ratner, Rhode launched with just three products as a direct-to-consumer brand that quickly rose to prominence among beauty enthusiasts and industry watchers. While its collection of ten products is considered modest compared to other celebrity beauty brands, a report in Business of Fashion stated that the brand managed to rake up US$212 million in net sales in the latest fiscal year ending in March 2025. Rhode recently announced its entrance into physical stores, starting with Sephora US and Canada stores and in Sephora UK by the end of the year. It is no surprise that the brand quickly went viral due to Bieber's influence that started various social media trends—from glazed donut nails to Erewhon smoothies. But those familiar with Rhode will know the products that truly shot the brand into superstardom are its Peptide Lip Treatment and the instantly recognisable Lip Case. 'When I launched Rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally,' Bieber said in an Instagram post announcing the acquisition. 'So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with Elf Beauty as we step into this next chapter in the world of rhode.' Elf Beauty chief executive officer and chairman Tarang Amin told Vogue Business that this new partnership is the 'perfect marriage' for them. The American beauty group's existing portfolio currently consists of skincare brand Naturium, singer Alicia Keys's wellness brand, Soulcare, and makeup brand Well People. While Bieber continues her role as founder of Rhode, she also takes on new titles: Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation of the brand as well as strategic advisor to Elf Beauty.
