Partial verdict in Sean Combs sex trafficking trial
Partial verdict in Sean Combs sex trafficking trial A courtroom sketch shows defense lawyers comforting Sean "Diddy" Combs after jurors announced they had reached a verdict on four of the five counts against him. Image: Reuters A jury reached a partial verdict Tuesday in the sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs, but the panel was as of yet unable to agree on the most serious charge facing the music mogul – racketeering. Judge Arun Subramanian instructed the 12 New Yorkers considering Combs's fate to keep working on that charge, and in the meantime the verdicts on the other counts will remain under wraps and only known to the jurors themselves. "We have reached a verdict on counts 2, 3, 4 and 5. We are unable to reach a verdict on count 1 as we have jurors with unpersuadable opinions on both sides," the jury of eight men and four women said in a note read aloud in court. The jury will return to the deliberation room on Wednesday. Combs, 55, had pleaded not guilty to all five counts. If convicted of sex trafficking or racketeering, the former billionaire known for elevating hip-hop in American culture could face life in prison. Before Subramanian read the jury's note, Combs rubbed his eyes and rested his face against his palm while seated at the defense table with his lawyers huddled around him. One defense lawyer, Brian Steel, rubbed Combs' shoulder. Two of Combs' other defense lawyers put their arms around each other. The partial verdict comes after a seven-week trial in which two of the music mogul's former girlfriends testified that he physically and sexually abused them. Prosecutors say Combs was charged with racketeering because for two decades he used his business empire to force two of his romantic partners to take part in drug-fueled, days-long sexual performances sometimes known as "Freak Offs" with male sex workers in hotel rooms while Combs watched and occasionally filmed. His lawyers acknowledged that the Bad Boy Records founder, once famed for hosting lavish parties for the cultural elite in luxurious locales like the Hamptons and Saint-Tropez, was at times violent in his domestic relationships. But they said the sexual activity described by prosecutors was consensual. (Agencies)

Meet in-demand celebrity stylist Dara Allen: the trans fashionista is behind Addison Rae's and Hunter Schafer's edgy red carpet looks – but she still dreams of dressing Britney Spears
Addison Rae 's transformation is complete. The 24-year-old, who initially rose to fame on TikTok, has metamorphosed into a bona fide pop superstar – and her personal style has come along for the ride thanks to one celebrity stylist in particular: Dara Allen. The cover of Rae's debut album, Addison, sees her sporting a tight, tie-dye yellow-orange dress, which was personally designed by Allen.

When Rae appeared at last year's MTV Video Music Awards, Allen styled her in a misshapen white satin bra and pants and paired them with a voluminous tulle bustle – a look that caused a huge stir online. Allen told Harper's Bazaar that her inspiration for the outfit was a combination of Rae's favourite pieces from her 'Diet Pepsi' music video, and the trailblazing looks debuted at previous VMAs by the likes of Madonna (see the Material Girl's bridal look at the 1984 awards). Most importantly, Allen says, it was Rae's personality that held it all together: 'If you're that comfortable in your body, why cover it up with clothes?' Addison Rae wears a white panties and bra set with feather details, paired with a white tulle bustle and white peep-toe shoes, as designed by Dara Allen. Photo: @dara._/Instagram Allen has said she loves bizarre, challenging and extreme looks, but never wants them to be something people can't understand, per Harper's Bazaar. Dara Allen wears a white dress with white capri pants and a long train. Photo: @dara._/Instagram Allen has in fact been a key figure behind several stars' headline-grabbing outfits in recent years. Here's what else you need to know about the stylist. She also creates stunning looks for Hunter Schafer

Monsters and memes: Labubu dolls ride Chinese soft-power wave
Small, fuzzy and baring sharp teeth, Chinese toymaker Pop Mart's Labubu monster dolls have taken over the world, drawing excited crowds at international stores and adorning the handbags of celebrities such as Rihanna and Cher. Beijing-based Pop Mart is part of a rising tide of Chinese cultural exports gaining traction abroad, furry ambassadors of a 'cool' China even in places associated more with negative public opinion of Beijing such as Europe and North America. Labubus, which typically sell for around US$40 (HK$314), are released in limited quantities and sold in 'blind boxes', meaning buyers don't know the exact model they will receive. The dolls are 'a bit quirky and ugly and very inclusive, so people can relate', interior designer Lucy Shitova told AFP at a Pop Mart store in London, where in-person sales of Labubus have been suspended over fears that fans could turn violent in their quest for the toys. 'Now everything goes viral… because of social media. And yes, it's cool. It's different.' While neighbouring East Asian countries South Korea and Japan are globally recognised for their high-end fashion, cinema and pop songs, China's heavily censored film and music industry have struggled to attract international audiences, and the country's best-known clothing exporter is fast-fashion website Shein. There have been few success stories of Chinese companies selling upmarket goods under their own brands, faced with stereotypes of cheap and low-quality products. 'It has been hard for the world's consumers to perceive China as a brand-creating nation,' the University of Maryland's Fan Yang told AFP. Pop Mart has bucked the trend, spawning copycats dubbed by social media users as 'lafufus' and detailed YouTube videos on how to verify a doll's authenticity. Brands such as designer womenswear label Shushu/Tong, Shanghai-based Marchen and Beijing-based handbag maker Songmont have also gained recognition abroad over the past few years. 'It might just be a matter of time before even more Chinese brands become globally recognisable,' Yang said. TikTok effect Through viral exports like Labubu, China is 'undergoing a soft-power shift where its products and image are increasingly cool among young Westerners', said Allison Malmsten, an analyst at China-based Daxue Consulting. Malmsten said she believed social media could boost China's global image 'similar to that of Japan in the 80s to 2010s with Pokemon and Nintendo'. Video app TikTok — designed by China's ByteDance — paved the way for Labubu's ascent when it became the first Chinese-branded product to be indispensable for young people internationally. Joshua Kurlantzick from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) told AFP that 'TikTok probably played a role in changing consumers' minds about China'. TikTok, which is officially blocked within China but still accessible with VPN software, has over one billion users, including what the company says is nearly half of the US population. The app has become a focus of national security fears in the United States, with a proposed ban seeing American TikTok users flock to another Chinese app, Rednote, where they were welcomed as digital 'refugees'. A conduit for Chinese social media memes and fashion trends, TikTok hosts over 1.7 million videos about Labubu. Labubumania Cultural exports can 'improve the image of China as a place that has companies that can produce globally attractive goods or services', CFR's Kurlantzick told AFP. 'I don't know how much, if at all, this impacts images of China's state or government,' he said, pointing to how South Korea's undeniable soft power has not translated into similar levels of political might. While plush toys alone might not translate into actual power, the United States' chaotic global image under the Trump presidency could benefit perceptions of China, the University of Maryland's Yang said. 'The connection many make between the seeming decline of US soft power and the potential rise in China's global image may reflect how deeply intertwined the two countries are in the minds of people whose lives are impacted by both simultaneously,' she told AFP. At the very least, Labubu's charms appear to be promoting interest in China among the younger generation. 'It's like a virus. Everyone just wants it,' Kazakhstani mother-of-three Anelya Batalova told AFP at Pop Mart's theme park in Beijing. Qatari Maryam Hammadi, 11, posed for photos in front of a giant Labubu statue. 'In our country, they love Labubu,' she said. 'So, when they realise that the origin of Labubu is in China, they'd like to come to see the different types of Labubu in China.'
