Miley Cyrus Addresses Rumor 'Flowers' Dress was Jennifer Lawrence Dig
Originally appeared on E! Online
Miley Cyrus can buy herself flowers and dresses.
In fact, the hooded, gold dress the 33-year-old wore in the 2023 music video for her song 'Flowers' recently resurfaced after a fan asked her whether the garment was a pointed dig at Jennifer Lawrence, as has long been speculated by fans.
'No,' Miley said in the May 27 TikTok, 'but I love that dress of hers.'
For those who might not be in the know, there were rumors that Miley's ex-husband and Jennifer had a romantic fling in the years they were filming the Hunger Games franchise—during which Miley and Liam were in a decade-long on-again, off-again relationship. (For her part, Jennifer has only ever conceded to one off screen kiss with Liam after he and Miley had broken up.)
So, when Miley released the 'Flowers' music video, which opened with her walking in a gold dress very similar to one worn by Jennifer to the 2012 premiere of the first Hunger Games film, fans speculated the look was an intentional callback to the drama. After all, 'Flowers' was largely believed by fans to be inspired by Miley and Liam's 2019 divorce.

Later in the interview, Jennifer—who shares two children with husband Cooke Maroney—spoke further to the impact the rumors had on her.
'It's really hard when, you know, if five people at a party think you slept with somebody's boyfriend, for example, it's really upsetting,' she noted. 'And then you multiply it by—I'm not good at the math—8 billion.'
Since Miley and Liam split for good, the Grammy winner—who is dating Maxx Morando—has made the rare comment about her decade with her The Last Song costar. (For his part, Liam is dating Gabriella Brooks, with whom he sparked romance rumors in late 2019.)

In one of a series of videos Miley shared to TikTok in September 2023 looking back at her life, the Hannah Montana alum revealed it was while performing at Glastonbury Festival in 2019 that she'd realized her and Liam's 8-month long marriage had come to an end.
'The day of the show was the day that I had decided that it was no longer going to work in my life to be in that relationship,' she explained, detailing how hard it was to take to the stage. "So that was another moment where the work, the performance, the character came first. I guess that's why it's now so important to me for that not to be the case. The human comes first."

$18 lip gloss and 'glazed donut' skin: How Rhode made its mark on the beauty world in 3 years
Hailey Bieber's Rhode was just sold to ELF Beauty for a billion dollars. Rhode, a skincare-makeup hybrid brand, sells just 10 products in minimalist packaging. From $18 affordable luxury products to a strong social media presence, here's what the brand did right. In 2022, model Hailey Bieber launched a skincare brand with just a handful of products encased in unassuming packaging. Three years on, it's being acquired by ELF Beauty for a billion dollars. The brand, known for its hybrid products that work as both skincare and makeup, sells only 10 products. But it's moving fast in the market — ELF's CEO, Tarang Amin, said in the company's earnings call on Wednesday that Rhode achieved sales of $212 million in the last 12 months. Bieber announced the acquisition in a Wednesday post on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hailey Rhode Bieber (@haileybieber) "I found a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do and will help us continue to grow the brand," Bieber said in her post. Amin said Bieber would continue to run the show after the acquisition as the brand's chief creative officer. "On the Rhode side, Hailey is a visionary and her unique perspective, tenacity, and passion to reinvent beauty come through in every aspect of the business," Amin said. From creating $18 affordable luxury products to building a robust social media presence, here's what the brand did right. Representatives for Rhode did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Leaning into Hailey Bieber's "It Girl" aesthetic It's hard to separate Bieber's brand from her — she's one of Gen Z's iconic "It Girls." "Rhode's strong resonance with Gen Z and Gen Alpha—thanks to Hailey Bieber's 'it-girl' influence and viral social media presence—strengthens ELF's connection to younger consumers," said Charlie Scott, the founder of Singapore-based brand consultancy Tangible. Her influence also extends to the millennial space, in part because of her high-profile relationship with 2010s pop star Justin Bieber. "She's married to Justin Bieber, so she has this weird crossover appeal where she's both a model and influencer and connected to millennial nostalgia," said Antonio Fernandez, the CEO of Thailand-based marketing agency Relevant Audience. But it isn't just who she's married to — she's a trendsetter in her own right. Bieber coined the "glazed donut skin" trend in 2021 — referring to the skincare routine that helps make one's appear healthy, glossy and dewy. "My standard when I go to bed at night is that if I'm not getting into bed looking like a glazed donut, then I'm not doing the right thing," she said in a YouTube video on her channel in 2021. Fernandez said Bieber's social media game has been a difference-maker — particularly in how she's turned skincare routines into viral content pieces that move product. The "glazed donut" trend, for instance, has since inspired "glazed donut nails" on TikTok and the viral $20 Strawberry Skin Glaze smoothie at Erewhon. Not trying to be everything to everyone And the packaging matters, too. Scott said Rhode's brand language of minimalist packaging, soft lighting, and the dewy "glazed donut" look reinforces Rhode's identity and sets it apart from more maximalist, or color-focused brands. Rhode sells only 10 products, the bulk of which are skincare-focused. These include a cleanser, lip balms, blush, moisturizer, and others. The product packaging is as restrained as the product selection, with neutral grays, beiges, and browns. "This minimalism, paired with affordable pricing and ingredient transparency, directly tapped into the 'skinimalism' and 'Clean Girl' trends popular with Gen Z and young millennials," Scott added. Teng Chan Leong, the CEO of Skribble, a Malaysia-based marketing agency, said Rhode had distinguished itself by not "trying to be everything to everyone." "Instead, it's nailing one category with cultural relevance and quietly building brand equity," Teng said. Affordable prices On another front, Rhode's products also land in the sweet spot of affordable luxe, the branding experts told BI. Teng said Rhode offers high-performing skincare at accessible price points. Its most popular item, the Peptide Lip Tint, retails for $18, while its Pineapple Refresh cleanser goes for $30. "In an age of rising living costs, Rhode's affordable-yet-chic positioning gives it a clear advantage," Teng said. "It's that 'affordable luxury sweet spot that Gen Z loves — they want to feel bougie without breaking the bank," Fernandez, the marketing expert, said. "Rhode hit the perfect price point - expensive enough to feel premium but not so expensive that regular people can't afford it," Fernandez added. ELF acquisition The ELF takeover could be mutually beneficial to both brands — expanding ELF's offerings while helping Rhode reach a larger consumer base. "ELF cosmetics is about $6.50 in its core entry price point, Rhode, on average, is in the high 20s, so I'd say it does bring us a different consumer set to the company overall, but the same approach in terms of how we engage and entertain them," Amin told CNBC in an interview. Scott said Rhode now has access to ELF's retail partnerships, including Walmart, Target, and Ulta. "This takeover could help Rhode transition beyond its current direct-to-consumer and limited pop-up model, leveraging ELF's extensive distribution network and retail partnerships to reach a broader, global audience," he said. For ELF, the Rhode takeover means an entry into the prestige skincare category, said Teng. "They're buying credibility with Gen Z and a way into the premium market. ELF is known for cheap drugstore makeup, but Rhode sits in that $20-30 sweet spot that screams 'affordable luxury,'" said Fernandez. "The $1 billion price tag honestly makes sense when you look at how fast they grew and how culturally relevant they became. ELF is basically buying a cultural moment and betting it can turn into a lasting brand," Fernandez added.

QVC Group details TikTok, social content plans
This story was originally published on Retail Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Retail Dive newsletter. QVC Group hosted its first Super Brand Day on TikTop Shop earlier this month, building on its efforts to expand its reach and investments in social shopping. For eight hours on May 14, QVC Group streamed live content from creators and celebrities on TikTok resulting in its highest viewed and engaged company-hosted livestream to date, a QVC Group spokesperson said. QVC Group plans to expand its TikTok reach internationally, CEO David Rawlinson said during a recent earnings call. Next February, the company will partner with TikTok U.K. Minutes watched on QVC Group's social and streaming platforms grew 26% compared to last year, while streaming monthly active users grew 131%. March was the company's largest non-holiday revenue month. QVC Group said success in its streaming and social businesses is crucial. The company now streams 24/7 on TikTok and cited its most important metric as revenue growth in a recent earnings call. QVC Group estimates the percentage of revenue generated during Q1 through streaming and social platforms was in the mid- to high-single digits. Rawlinson said what's key to the company's social strategy is that it consists of a pre-aggregated audience. 'There are already tens of millions, in some cases, hundreds of millions of people, if not billions, on those platforms,' Rawlinson said on the call. 'And so you get to play in a very growing, large stream of potential customers who are increasingly used to seeing shopping content in their social feeds and who are increasingly converting over to purchases within their social experience. And so that's the magnitude of the opportunity.' Despite QVC Group's financial struggles, the company is going all in on social shopping investments. Among its various social commerce investments, QVC Group's latest targets Gen X. The 'Age of Possibility' platform celebrates women over age 50 with an expanded TikTok partnership and an eight-hour livestream shopping event. Beyond social, QVC Group is tapping into other ways it can broaden customer reach. Through a partnership with American Airlines, travelers can stream QVC+ and HSN+ channels on the airline's free in-flight entertainment platform. Sign in to access your portfolio

Savannah said the two were in the process of shopping for an outfit for Todd to wear during his conference. Throughout the video, Todd repeatedly stated that he intentionally wanted to hide his face from the paparazzi, joking that he had the "BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) glow."
