Whimsical striped insoles gave way to striped grosgrain loop tabs at heels, offering the silhouette an instantly recognizable touch. Striping is a signature for Thom Browne, seen in many of their footwear creations. The shoes were situated atop lofty platform heels and block heels standing at 6.6 inches in height, offering a sky-high boost. The daring designer footwear pick gave Saldana a larger-than-life feel.

The dress also included a slew of button accents throughout, giving the garment a playful textural finish.

Most-followed TikTok star Khaby Lame detained by ICE, leaves US voluntarily
TikTok megastar Khaby Lame has left the United States after being detained by federal immigration. 'U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations,' an ICE representative told People. Lame, who holds the record as the most followed on TikTok with over 160 million followers on the platform, was asked to leave the U.S. because he 'overstayed the terms of his visa.' The 25-year-old content creator was stopped by ICE at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and granted voluntary departure once he was detained. The social media star was born in Senegal and was moved to Italy when he was a baby. He was granted Italian citizenship in August 2022. Lame rose to fame when he started sharing silent comedic videos on TikTok during the pandemic after he was laid off from his job. 'Before TikTok, I was working in a factory. I had a lot of different jobs,' he told People after being named one of their Creators of the Year. 'I was helping support my family — three little brothers, one older brother and my parents. Then my world changed completely. It's a whole different life now.' In May of 2025, Lame was seen at the Met Gala celebrating the theme of Black Dandyism in a grey and cream suit. The detainment comes amid Trump's immigration crackdown. ICE has launched raids all over the country, enforcing the president's mass deportation campaign promise in workplaces, schools, airports and college campuses. As for Lame, he has been active on social media since the detainment and hasn't spoken publicly about what happened. ____________

Disney Takes Full Control of Hulu for Billions Less Than Comcast Wanted
The tug of war over Hulu is over. Disney said in a securities filing on Monday that it had agreed to pay Comcast an additional $439 million for full control of the streaming service, ending a year and a half dispute over the amount. Disney had argued that it owed Comcast nothing beyond the $8.6 billion it already paid for Comcast's 33 percent stake — and Comcast countered that Disney owed another $5 billion. Eventually, a third-party appraiser was brought in. The relatively small new payment will not affect Disney's previous guidance for overall company growth in the current fiscal year, Disney said in the filing. The deal is expected to close by July 24. Robert A. Iger, Disney's chief executive, said in a statement that full ownership of Hulu would allow for 'a deeper and more seamless integration of Hulu's general entertainment content with Disney+' and for bundled sales with a new ESPN streaming service that is planned for introduction later this year. In a separate statement, Comcast called Hulu 'a great start for us in streaming,' adding 'we wish Disney well.' Comcast's primary streaming service is now Peacock, which it has been loading with sports content as it seeks to expand advertising sales and subscriber counts. Peacock, which has been unprofitable, has about 41 million subscribers. Hulu, one of the first streaming services, started as a joint venture between Disney, Comcast and Time Warner. It now offers programming from Disney's traditional television networks, including ABC and FX, in addition to original series, including 'Only Murders in the Building.' Hulu, which is profitable, has about 55 million subscriptions. To increase engagement on Disney+ and slow subscriber churn, Disney last year began allowing people who pay for both Disney+ and Hulu to watch both services through the Disney+ interface. That strategy has been a success for Disney, analysts have said. Some analysts expect Disney to eventually discontinue Hulu as a stand-alone app and make it a tile within Disney+.
