She may be down under but Ariana Grande is bringing a downtown flair to her Wicked press tour.

The actor and singer joined her castmates in Sydney for a screening of their forthcoming film, where Grande continued her intrepid method dressing streak—this time in custom Bode.

Grande and her stylist Mimi Cuttrell have pulled out all the stops for her Wicked promo, calling in everything from a polka-dotted 1963 Pierre Balmain dress for the Academy Museum Gala to a fuchsia Thierry Mugler tulip dress from fall 1982 for her SNL hosting gig. But beyond the gold medal vintage, Grande is also going the custom route.

For the Sydney stop, Grande chose a bespoke two-piece in her Glinda pink and white color palette from the Lower East Side’s beloved Bode. She wore a white straight-across strapless top festooned with three frilly, salmon bows. The matching pink tea-length skirt featured Emily Adams Bode Aujla’s signature crafty details, with bands of smocking and cross-stitching at the waistband. She played up the bow motif with her white Jimmy Choo pumps, and added a touch of sparkle with Swarovski jewelry.

Kate Middleton’s first major public appearance since completing chemotherapy was an emotional one for many reasons.

Earlier this week, Kate Middleton attended the annual Festival of Remembrance, marking her first major engagement since finishing chemotherapy and returning to public duties last month. The Princess of Wales joined Prince William, King Charles, Princess Anne, and other working members of the royal family for the event at London’s Royal Albert Hall, held in honor of World War II military personnel.

After a tribute to the fallen soldiers, the princess appeared visibly emotional, and reportedly fought back tears amid a standing ovation alongside Prince William. The royal’s return to the spotlight is a poignant moment in itself, as it comes after what Prince William describes a “brutal” year, given the princess’ and King Charles’ cancer diagnoses and treatments. Prince William’s honest reflection about the year came through in an interview with journalists during his visit to Cape Town last week. “It’s been dreadful. It’s probably been the hardest year in my life,” he told reporters. “I’m so proud of my wife, I’m proud of my father, for handling the things that they have done. But from a personal family point of view, it’s been brutal.”

The solemn Festival of Remembrance saw Kate dressed in a black coat dress paired with pearl jewelry from her late mother-in-law Princess Diana’s collection. Later that weekend, the royal made her consecutive appearance by stepping out at the Cenotaph Service on Remembrance Sunday. She was pictured on the balcony wearing a military-inspired Catherine Walker coat adorned with a velvet bow. As pearls have long been associated with mourning and remembrance, Kate completed this look with heirloom pearls that once belonged to late Queen Elizabeth II.

Wicked day is fast upon us: The highly-anticipated movie musical by Jon M. Chu opens on November 22, and ahead of its release, co-stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been making the rounds to promote the film.

From Australia to Los Angeles, the two leading ladies have been hitting the red carpet in their best Elphaba and Glinda-inspired looks—all while connecting with diehard fans around the world. “It has felt so so incredible and special, and honestly unlike anything I’ve ever felt before in my career,” says Grande, who is a noted longtime fan of the musical. “I think the Wicked fans have been waiting for this as long as we have, so for them to have embraced us the way that they have, and show us such warmth, has been very overwhelming and emotional,” adding: “Yes, emotional—we keep crying, we know it’s annoying, I am so sorry.”

After attending the Los Angeles premiere this weekend, Grande and Erivo took time to sign autographs and meet fans, which has been one of the most rewarding aspects of their promotional tour. “One of the most special things to hear from them—people who have loved the musical for as long as they have—is that they have loved meeting our Elphie and Glinda, and that they think we kept our promise to take care of them,” says Grande. “It means the most coming from them.” Of course, it was sentimental to be doing this with Erivo, with whom Grande shares a special bond. (The pair have been singing each other’s praises in one sweet interview after another.) “I love laughing with her and holding her hand,“ says Grande of her co-star. “We have worked so, very hard for this, so to be able to take a deep breath together and release this into the world while standing side by side, is such a treat.”

Of course, Grande had to bring her best red carpet look—in Glinda pink, naturally—to the premiere last night. The star wore a custom blush-and-white…

Here’s everything that unfolded at the star-studded 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab fashion show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Tonight in Riyadh, Lebanese couturier Elie Saab staged a spectacular fashion show celebrating 45 years of his maison. Held at The Venue during the annual winter entertainment festival of Riyadh Season, 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab showcased a collection of 300 beautiful pieces. The Riyadh Season Collection Fall 2025 was designed exclusively for this event, and inspired by the classic Arab tales of One Thousand and One Nights, which were reinterpreted through Saab’s distinct vision. The pieces were also styled by Carine Roitfeld, founder and editor-in-chief of CR Fashion Book.

With a promise to blend fashion and entertainment, the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab event brought together Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Nancy Ajram, Amr Diab, and Camila Cabello for unforgettable performances while a cast of supermodels including Isabeli Fontana, Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Sara Sampaio, and more walked the runway. The show kicked off on a high note with Halle Berry wowing the audience in her iconic Elie Saab look from the 2002 Academy Awards. Ahead of the show, the actor revealed that today had been the first time she met Saab, nearly 22 years after wearing his creation.

After Berry took her seat on the front row, it was time for the musical acts, starting with Lopez who descended from above in a sparkling tasseled bodysuit by the Lebanese designer. Models walking to Lopez’s electrifying sound wore complimenting looks with feathers straight from the ’20s. Then, it was time for Saab’s signature blooms, with Cabello performing in a glitzy pink number as ultra-feminine designs took the spotlight. Ajram and Diab’s individual performances got the audience grooving to beloved Arab tunes, before the finale that saw Dion make a grand entrance. In only her third public appearance, and second performance since her comeback at…

Crossing the threshold of an elegant white-stone building presided over by a laurel-wreathed bust, a blue plaque indicating the street number just to the left, it’s hard to believe you are not actually entering the birthplace of Dior at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. This illusion, like so many elements of the Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition in the National Museum of Saudi Arabia, is a fantasy brought to life. Behind the scenes of this spectacle, curator Florence Müller, scenographer Nathalie Crinière, and countless experts in everything from chiffon to construction, came together to pay homage to the house Florence Müller, that Christian Dior built.

Originally unveiled in the French capital where it welcomed just over 700,000 visitors, Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams has since traveled the world, from London to Tokyo. Every new setting shapes the presentation in different ways. “For each museum, I am curating a kind of a new show,” explains Müller of the process of working with the conservation team to decide which pieces from the Dior vaults to take. The dresses require a “rest” after months on public view as the fabrics and embellishments become increasingly fragile over time, and Müller notes that even today’s designs by Maria Grazia Chiuri will become archival eventually. To mitigate damage, each piece is displayed on a specially made mannequin, with some of the more extravagant gowns requiring as many as five people to mount. Fashion may be decadent, but…

Tonight, Lebanese couturier Elie Saab celebrated 45 successful years in the business with a star-studded evening held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Titled The 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab, the special fashion show showcased 300 stunning ensembles from the fashion house, showcased alongside not one, not two, but five different musical performances by Jennifer Lopez, Camila Cabello, Nancy Ajram, Amr Diab, and Celine Dion.

Given the weight of the momentous occasion, stars from across the globe flew to the kingdom to join the Saab family and cheer on their achievements. Of course, most of the celebrities in attendance — from Halle Berry and Monica Bellucci, to Nadine Nassib Njeim and Razane Jammal — proudly walked the red carpet dressed in Elie Saab creations. Below, a closer look at who wore what.

Saba Mubarak, Camila Cabello and Celine Dion opted for sparkling accents

A little embellishment goes a long way, but tonight, the stars pulled out all the stops in Riyadh. while Saba Mubarak posed for cameras in a shimmering purple one-shoulder gown, Camila Cabello opted for a sheer black number with gold sequin work. As for Celine Dion, the legendary musician walked the red carpet in a tie-dye print pink gown coated in clear sequins and topped off with 3D flower-like accents on the shoulders.

Nancy Ajram also opted for head-to-toe sequins tonight, while Lojain Omran gave sharp pantsuits a festive spin by opting for a gold set. Sparkling sequins also won the vote of Nathalie Fanj.

Midnight hues by Nadine Nassib Njeim, Amina Khalil and Aseel

Instead of all-eyes-on-me sparkles, some celebrities went the classic route tonight, picking elegant gowns in deeper shades. While Nadine Nassib Njeim picked an inky blue gown with rose-like detailing along the neckline (paired with a delicate headpiece), Amina Khalil gave the idea of LBDs an update with a playful silhouette. Aseel, on the other hand, posed with sister Lojain Omran in a classic black fit and…
