Gallery: Naomi Campbell's Cannes Moment Continues A Week Full Of Jaw-Dropping Black Celebrity Style
Source: Karwai Tang / Getty Queen mother Naomi Campbell descended on Cannes this week, and her appearance was everything we thought it would be. The international influencer and supermodel didn't just walk the carpet – though she did werk it. The British beauty owned it. Queen Mother was every bit a legend, an icon, and the moment. Naomi Campbell Brings Major Queen Energy To Cannes Last year, the 54-year-old linked up with Law Roach and made headlines in a nearly-naked number. This year, she switched it up, showing her style versatility. Attending the premiere of Fuori, Naomi hit the carpet in a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda gown that instantly became one of the festival's most talked-about looks. The dress served grandeur, drama, and all-out royalty. The D&G piece featured an embellished gold corset bodice, delicate lace, ornate gemstone embroidery, and an enormous black tulle skirt. And, you know Naomi's hair and beauty were just as flawless. Naomi gave us a soft, radiant beat—bronze lids, glowing skin, and a glossy nude lip. But her hair is what set the look off. Quite literally.

She rocked a full, fluffy natural afro that we loved. Big, beautiful, and unapologetic, Naomi's hair was the perfect complement to her over-the-top dress while providing style and attitude that is uniquely her. This Cannes couture moment hit even harder since Naomi skipped the Met Gala earlier this month. The fashion world was ready for her to slay – and she did not disappoint. Further, Naomi's standout red carpet moment came just two days before her 55th birthday. What a better way to show you are still that girl than to slay like this? Gallery: Cannes Continues To Bring Out Black Hollywood's Finest Naomi wasn't the only starlet showing off their style over the past few days. From Halle Berry's judge-worthy moments to Rihanna's vibrant turquoise goddess gown that dominated social feeds earlier this week, Cannes continues to serve nonstop fashion. See our gallery of more looks. We're talking Ryan Destiny, Taraji P. Henson, Angela Bassett, and more. Gallery: Naomi Campbell's Cannes Moment Continues A Week Full Of Jaw-Dropping Black Celebrity Style was originally published on Taraji P. Henson doesn't play when it comes to major moments – and her Cannes looks are no different. Before heading out to film events, she posed in a gold Ulla Johnson gown that shimmered with every step. The fit was flawless, and that pixie cut was sitting just right. Her glow? Immaculate. She looked like money, success, and auntie-you-wish-you-had vibes all rolled into one. Taraji was styled by Wayman and Micah. Source:Getty Ryan Destiny attended the Vie Privée (A Private Life) red carpet looking like a rich truffle. Styled by Law Roach, her chocolate brown Schiaparelli dress hugged every curve and showed off her flawless body. That one-shoulder neckline, the pleated texture, and that slit? Chef's kiss. Her skin was glowing, her hair was flipped, and she looked like the kind of soft luxury we talk about in group chats. Source:Getty Chanel Iman floated onto the red carpet looking like a luxe Cinderella. This icy blue moment is everything! From her gown's high-high slit to her soft glam and wispy updo, this supermodel served feminity, fabulouness, and fantasy. Chanel topped off the look diamonds and silver accessories. Source:Getty Angela Bassett served a 'soft glam boss' look during a Mission Impossible film event – and meant it. Taking a break from the red carpet, here she poses in a peachy embellished power suit that is equal parts elegance and edge, paired with a crisp white bustier that snatched the moment. And let's talk about that side-swept hair—silky, bouncy, and giving grown woman glam we'll never get tired of. Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE

A Davenport woman is in the Scott County Jail after police say she took thousands of dollars worth of fragrances from a store.

DOGE claims $55 billion in government cuts so far -- but the figure is hard to verify
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, tasked by President Donald Trump with slashing the federal government, claims that so far its cuts have saved the American public $55 billion in federal funds -- but it's not yet possible to verify how much DOGE has cut and what exactly it's cutting because, as DOGE acknowledges, only a portion of the contracts allegedly terminated as part of its operation has been disclosed. DOGE this week posted on its website a list of more than 1,000 federal contracts it says it has terminated, to go along with additional cuts it says it's made through fraud detection, asset sales, grant cancellations, workforce reductions, programmatic changes, and regulatory savings. The 1,127 contracts span 39 federal departments and agencies, totaling roughly $8.6 billion of the $55 billion DOGE says it has cut. MORE: DOGE data release criticized by intel community; Trump admin says it's public data The largest contract DOGE initially said it had cut was an $8 billion agreement for "Equal Employment Opportunity" services -- but the amount of the contract, as listed on the DOGE website, was revised on Wednesday from $8 billion down to $8 million. The contract, from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, was originally capped at $8 billion on paper when it was first awarded to consulting firm D&G Support Services in 2022 as a blanket purchase agreement through 2027. Last month, on Jan. 28, the contract -- described as "Program and Technical Support Services for Office of Diversity and Civil Rights (ODCR)" -- was modified to change its cap from $8 billion to $8 million, citing "OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION" without offering any other details. On Jan. 29, the contract was "partially" terminated, citing the administration's effort to terminate "all DEIA related services" related to then-President Joe Biden's 2021 Executive Order 14035. On Jan. 30, the contract was fully terminated, citing the same reason. It's unclear if the revision to the contract's value on DOGE's website, from $8 billion to $8 million, affects DOGE's claim of $55 billion saved. As originally listed, the $8 billion accounted for more than half of the savings DOGE claimed through the termination of contracts. D&G CEO Leah Sanders told ABC News in a statement that the contract's value was $8 million. "D&G Support Services (DBA D&G Solutions) acknowledges that the previously reported contract value of $8 billion was incorrect," the statement said. "This discrepancy appears to have resulted from a clerical error in the original government filing upon contract award. The contract value had a ceiling of $8 million." Since September 2022, D&G has been awarded $2.5 million under the contract, according to federal spending data. On its website, D&G lists dozens of federal clients, including ICE, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, the U.S. Coastal Guard, the U.S. Army and the Department of Energy. Representatives for DOGE did not respond to ABC News' request for comment. DOGE acknowledges on its website that it is still working to post the full list of its contracts it has terminated, and that, for some data, "there are likely some errors or omissions." It further says that only 20% of its "savings" are currently reflected on the site. Receipts posted by DOGE show it has cut at least $6.5 billion from the USAID foreign aid agency, $502 million from the Department of Education, $232 million from the Social Security Administration and $192 million from the General Services Administration. It has also cut at least $173 million from the Agriculture Department, $152 million from the Department of Health and Human Services, $133 million from the Transportation Department and $119 million from the Commerce Department.
