Watch Lisa, Raye, and Doja Cat Make the Best of a 10-Hour Shoot for ‘Born Again' Video
Lisa, Raye, and Doja Cat know how to transform anything into a good time. In a new behind-the-scenes clip from the set of their 'Born Again' music video, the stars show just how much fun an all-day video shoot can be.
'We're at the music video set for 'Born Again' featuring Doja Cat and Raye,' Lisa says at the beginning of the clip before correcting herself with a laugh, 'starring Lisa, Doja Cat, and Raye.' The clip features scenes of Lisa posing and showing off her powerful, renewed persona as she sheds the ex-relationship she sings about on the song. Raye and Doja stand behind her, posing and baring gorgeous smiles.

Lisa Launches Comic-Book Company to Accompany Debut Album 'Alter-Ego'
'We've been shooting for…,' Raye begins to say in another scene before turning to Lisa and Doja for the right answer. Lisa guesses, 'Nine? Ten hours?' before Doja nods in agreement.
Despite the long hours, the trio is all smiles and laughs on the 'Born Again' set.
It's only February, but Lisa has had an exciting year already. She will release her solo debut album Alter-Ego later this month, following 2024's previews of 'Rockstar,' 'New Woman' featuring Rosalia, and 'Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me),' a renewed take on Sixpence None the Richer's 1997 song. In tandem with the LP, Lisa will also release Alter-Ego:The Official Comic from her newly launched comic book company, Lalisa Comics. Earlier this week, Blackpink, the K-pop supergroup Lisa is a part of, also announced their first world tour in three years, set for summer 2025. And before that, Lisa will make her Coachella solo debut in April.
Beyond music, Lisa made her acting debut in the latest season of HBO's White Lotus, which premiered on Feb. 16.

In a Ukrainian strip club, the war is laid bare
When Lisa, 20, laces into her ultra-high heels for her shift at a strip club in Ukraine's Kharkiv, she knows that aside from dancing, she will have to comfort traumatised soldiers. Since Russia's 2022 invasion, exhausted troops are the main clientele of the Flash Dancers club in the centre of the northeastern city, just 20 kilometres (12 miles) from Russian forces. For some customers, it provides an "escape" from the war, said Valerya Zavatska -- a 25-year-old law graduate who runs the club with her mother, an ex-dancer. But many are not there just for the show. They "want to talk about what hurts," she said. The dancers act as confidantes to soldiers bruised -- mentally and physically -- by a three-year war with no end in sight. "Very often" they want to discuss their experiences and feelings, Lisa told AFP in a fitness centre, where the dancers practised choreography to an electro remix of the "Carmen" opera ahead of that night's show. "The problem is that they come in sober, normal, fine. Then they drink, and that's when the darkness begins," said Zhenia, a 21-year-old dancer. Instead of watching the performance, soldiers sometimes sit alone at the bar, crying. Some even show the women videos from the battlefield -- including wounded comrades or the corpses of Russian soldiers. "It can be very, very difficult, so I personally ask them not to show me, because I take it to heart too much," Lisa said. But Zhenia -- who used to study veterinary medicine -- said she watches the footage with something a professional interest, trying to understand how a soldier could have been saved. - 'Family gathering' - When performance time arrived, they put on red underwear, strapped into 20-centimetre (eight inch) platform shoes and covered their bodies with glitter -- a trick to stop married men getting too close, as the shiny specks would stick to them. The music started. One dancer twirled around a pole, another listened attentively to a customer, while a third sat on a man's lap. The Flash Dancers describe themselves as more "Moulin Rouge" than a strip club, and say the dancers do not enter sexual relations for money. Prostitution -- illegal in Ukraine -- is not uncommon in areas near the frontline. Most soldiers -- though not all -- respect the boundaries. Sometimes friendships have been struck up. Zhenia recalled how one soldier wrote a postcard to her, picked out by his mother -- a "wonderful woman" who now follows Zhenia on social media and sometimes sends her messages. "I know their children, their mothers," she told AFP. Some tell stories from their vacations, talk about their lives before the war and even come back with their wives. "It's like a family gathering," said Nana, a 21-year-old dancer with jet-black hair. - Killed dancer - A Colombian soldier fighting for Ukraine sipped sparkling wine on a red bench having paid almost $10 to get into the club. Coming here "clears your mind," the 37-year-old ex-policeman -- known as "Puma" -- told AFP. "It entertains us a little. It takes our minds off the war." But even in the club's darkened basement, the war has a way of creeping inside. Many of the regulars have been wounded and the dancers sometimes take gifts to hospitals. And "an awful lot of guys who have come to us" have been killed, said Zavatska. "Just this month alone, two died, and that's just the ones we know," she said, adding that one left behind a one-year-old infant. A Russian strike in 2022 killed one of the group's dancers -- Lyudmila -- as well as her husband, also a former employee of the club. She was pregnant at the time. Miraculously, her child survived. The club closes at 10.00pm, an hour before a curfew starts. Air raid alerts sometimes force them to stay longer, until they can head home in a brief period of relative safety. But in Kharkiv that never lasts long. The dancers, like everybody else, are often woken by Russia's overnight drone and missile barrages. Even after a sleepless night, the women head back, determined to put on a performance. "The show must go on," Zavatska said. "We have to smile." led-oc/jc/tw

Human-sized Labubu doll sells for more than $150,000
A human-sized Labubu doll was sold this week for a record 1.08m yuan ($150,324; £110,465), according to a Chinese auction house. The 131cm (4ft 4in) figurine was sold at the Yongle International Auction in Beijing. The auctioneer said it is now the most expensive toy of its kind in the world. Labubu dolls are quirky monster characters created a decade ago by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, which have increased in popularity in recent years after a number of celebrity endorsements. Labubu dolls, sold by Chinese toy company Pop Mart, usually cost around 50 yuan. This week's auction was dedicated entirely to Labubu. Forty eight items were put on sale with around 200 people in attendance. The auction house said it raised a total of 3.37m yuan. The figurines have sparked a global buying frenzy after frequently appearing in social media posts by Lisa from the K-pop group Blackpink. The soft toys became a viral TikTok trend after being worn by other celebrities like Rihanna and Dua Lipa. Former England football captain David Beckham also posted a photo on Instagram of a Labubu attached to his bag. Earlier this year, Pop Mart pulled the dolls from all UK stores following reports of customers fighting over them. The Chinese retailer often sells the collectable toys in mystery "blind boxes". These items are popular with customers who only find out the design of the figurine once they have opened the packaging.

'One Of My Favourite Pieces Of Music I've Worked On': Mark Ronson And Raye Debut New Single 'Suzanne'
Whenever Raye teases a new record, you know it's going to be a hit. Add superstar DJ and producer Mark Ronson to the mix and you're pretty much guaranteed a song that'll shoot to the top of your 'Most Played' playlist. 'Suzanne' — the new single from the duo, released to mark the 150th anniversary of watchmaking's hottest brand Audemars Piguet — is no exception. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE No doubt set to be the summer anthem 2025, 'Suzanne' fuses Ronson's signature feel-good beats with Raye's soulful vocals and expressive lyrics. Dropping on Friday 13 June, it's the latest project to emerge from Audemars Piguet's dedicated AP x Music programme, which supports musical talent and craft through collaboration. 'For me it's just joy,' Raye, who is Audemars Piguet's newest brand ambassador, said of the song at an exclusive press preview ahead of a special debut performance, hosted by the watchmaker. 'The song makes me so happy — I find it so infectious.' Ronson, a longtime friend of the watchmaking house, described the song as reminiscent of hanging out with your first crush on a summer day: 'slightly melancholy, but still joyous,' he said. 'This is one of my favourite pieces of music I've worked on in a long time.' Audemars Piguet has a long history of working with musical greats, from Jay Z to Quincy Jones. While Ronson has been working with the house since 2022, Raye is the latest name to join the brand's impressive list of collaborators. After penning music for everyone from Beyoncé and John Legend to Charli XCX, the ELLE UK cover star shot to fame when her breakout single, 'Escapism', hit number one on the UK charts in 2023. She went on to make history last year at the Brit Awards with six wins, including British Artist of the Year, breaking records for the number of Brit Awards a single artist received in one night. 'Suzanne' marks the first time Raye and Ronson have collaborated on a project together — and according to them both, it's been a long time coming. 'I've always been a Mark Ronson superfan,' Raye said, noting she used to work in his London studio when she was an up and coming writer. 'Mark is a king of timeless music — music that outlasts trends, that outlasts phases.' Rest assured, when Suzanne hits Spotify on Friday, the ELLE UK office will be listening on repeat. 'Suzanne' is out Friday 13 June. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
