Klum also wore the Swarovski tiara. Giovanna Engelbert, the global creative director of Swarovski, designed the piece. The tiara took inspiration from the hyperbola jewelry family, featuring elegant references to the house's emblem.
The Swarovski tiara is designed with a prong-set baguette and round-cut Swarovski zirconia, forming graceful loops to evoke feathers or a swan gliding on water. The tiara includes eight pear-drop crystals surrounding a suspended central stone.
Swanepoel, who wore a stunning satin white gown with a cape element by Brandon Maxwell, accessorized with Swarovski's mesmera necklace, hyperbola cuff, matrix baguette hoop earrings, hyperbola glam ring, hyperbola ring and matrix baguette ring.
The Vienna Opera Ball is a historic event that takes place every year and features international guests and families from the fields of culture, science, politics, business and more. The event includes traditional dancing, music and an extensive program.
'The Vienna Opera Ball and Swarovski are a true symbiosis of Austria, true artistry and joy,' said Alexis Nasard, Swarovski's chief executive officer. 'I am delighted that our long-standing partnership grows stronger each year, and that the ball is such a wonderful showcase for Swarovski savoir-faire. Heritage and modernity meet in this beautiful occasion.'

BLACKPINK's Lisa to have her own documentary
3 Jun - BLACKPINK's Lalisa Manoban is going to have her own documentary, as revealed by Sony Music Vision. In an announcement made by the company last week, they revealed that they are collaborating with Lisa's LLOUD CO and RCA Records alongside Tremolo Productions to produce a documentary that follows Lisa for a year in her life as she pursues her solo career. The documentary is helmed by Sue Kim, and documents Lisa's journey in releasing her first solo album, "Alter Ego", her first solo set at Coachella this year, and her first Hollywood series, "The White Lotus". "I really tried to impress upon Lisa how much not just me, but I think the world, wants to see off-stage Lisa," said Kim during the showcase. "She loves to refer to herself as, 'I'm just a normal girl from Thailand.' And when you meet her, she actually is. She's so down to earth. It's quite shocking, and so real and so sincere." "But she's very incredibly found herself in this crazy position of being one of the biggest superstars in the world, and even within that world, she's trying to expand out of it," she added. It is noted that Lisa will be reuniting with her BLACKPINK sisters for their upcoming tour, "Deadline". (Photo Source: Lisa IG)

19 Short Curly Hairstyles to Celebrate Your Natural Texture
Contrary to popular belief, your options when you have short curly hair aren't limited. In fact, working with a shorter length provides you with the opportunity to flex those creative styling muscles. 'Short curly hair is fun, which makes it one of my favorites to style,' says celebrity hairstylist Lacy Redway. 'You can really mold things in place and create sharp lines with products. You can play with shapes that add volume or are sleek to contour the head.' The key to any hairstyle for your short natural curls is hydration. 'Short curly hair may be low in length, but it's high-maintenance when it comes to moisture,' explains Redway. 'You want to cleanse gently, condition deeply, and style with purpose.' Michelle O'Connor, a global artistic director at Matrix, agrees and recommends a layered shampoo and treatment approach. Opt for a sulfate-free shampoo and a nourishing conditioner weekly, rotating in a deep treatment mask every seven to 10 days. A leave-in treatment can also help and O'connor says you'll want to find one that has bond-building benefits and can reinforce your curls. And go lightweight with the styling creams or foams so you won't cause buildup followed up by a serum or oil to lock in moisture. With that, the experts break down the 19 best ways to style short curly hair. Check out their favorites below. Pin Curls

How HBO keeps ‘The White Lotus' on our minds — and screens
In the age of binge-watching, HBO's hit series 'The White Lotus' is demonstrating the power of weekly appointment viewing. Most viewers streamed the darkly comic anthology series from Mike White, set each season at a new luxury resort where the worst instincts of the privileged guests are unleashed. But the weekly rollout of the latest eight-episode season on Sundays — the night that HBO established as the gathering point for prestige television in the pre-Netflix era — is turbocharging the show's cultural impact and viewing levels. Season 3 of 'The White Lotus,' which premiered in February, averaged 19 million viewers across traditional TV and streaming platforms, according to Max (soon to be known again as HBO Max). About one-fifth of that audience, 4 million, watched on HBO proper the night the episodes aired. HBO saw the audience for the show grow each week, with the finale drawing 6.2 million viewers on April 6 — 51% higher than the Season 2 finale and more than twice the viewership for the series premiere. Such boosts over a single season are rare, according to Jason Butler, senior vice president of global content and strategy for Max. The growth indicates that viewers felt compelled to watch sooner rather than later in order to participate in the public discourse about the show. 'There's this really symbiotic relationship between recurring weekly viewership and burgeoning buzz, as you would expect,' Butler told The Times. Butler added that Max is seeing the same pattern for its Emmy-winning comedy 'Hacks' and its high-octane medical drama 'The Pitt,' which are also rolled out weekly. He noted that Max's biggest shows, such as 'The White Lotus,' are driving 50% more social media conversations during the course of a season compared with series that drop all of their episodes at once for binge-viewing. It helps that 'The White Lotus' offers up signature moments and catchphrases that are meme-worthy. This season, Parker Posey's Southern wine mom Victoria Ratliff did the heavy lifting ('Piper, nooo!'), generating nearly 28,000 videos on TikTok. HBO has seen the phenomenon in previous seasons with, 'What are you doing? Texting' and Jennifer Coolidge's legendary line, 'These gays, they're trying to murder me,' which can be found on a variety of T-shirts and baseball hats sold on Etsy. HBO also effectively flooded the zone with stories in the days between episodes, with Monday morning recaps and video interviews in the Hollywood trades, having the cast members dissect their characters. The Los Angeles Times turned out nearly 20 pieces while the New York Times served up 10 stories on Season 3. Tabloid websites latched on as well. 'The White Lotus' star Aimee Lou Wood's negative reaction to the 'Saturday Night Live' parody of the series became a clickbait-driven saga for a week. Max sees plenty of binge-watching after the final episode runs too. Viewing of previous seasons of 'The White Lotus' surged by 15 times once the third edition launched. (HBO has already ordered a fourth season.) Nielsen data showed viewers streamed the entire series more between 800 and 900 million minutes a week during the third-season run. Max doesn't release data linking a series to subscriber growth. But during the first quarter of 2025, the direct-to-consumer streaming service added 5.3 million customers. The sustained conversation around 'The White Lotus' has also driven consumer behavior in travel and fashion. At the recent Warner Bros. Discovery presentation to advertisers in New York, the company's ad sales chief Robert Voltaggio noted how the show generated a significant boost in tourism to Maui, Sicily and Thailand, the locales featured in the series' first three seasons, respectively. Website visits to the Four Seasons locations where the show is set saw triple-digit growth as well. And of course, there is Victoria Ratliff's caftan. 'The sales for that fashion brand spiked by almost seven times,' Voltaggio said. No word on any spike in Lorazepam prescriptions.
