"His impact was felt both on and off the field, and his spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those he inspired," McCartney's family said in a statement
Two North Korean soldiers fighting in Russia were captured by Ukrainian troops this week, giving officials "irrefutable evidence" that the two countries are allied in the war against Ukraine, officials announced on Saturday.
CES (formerly the Consumer Electronics Show) is the biggest tech convention of the year. It helps set the stage for all the wonderful gadgets we're going to see over the next 12 months. However, among all the quadcopters, questionably benevolent robots and devices with fancy flexible screens, there's a lot of small things that go into making CES a one-of-a-kind event. To highlight some of the silly, stupid and occasionally wholesome things we encountered at the show this year, we humbly present the very unofficial Dumb Fun awards for CES 2025.
Cutest digger - Komatsu PC01E-2
Sam Rutherford for Engadget
Komatsu’s PC01E-2 looks like a children’s playground toy, except that it actually works and is really goddam cute. You almost want to walk over and pinch that little bucket until it turns pink. But it’s not all fun and games because this little digger is meant to help excavate things — even in tight spaces. In fact, it’s small enough to fit in most elevators, so if you run into a situation where you need to get some digging done, say, on the roof, Komatsu's got you.
We generally try to be optimistic about new tech. But ever since Faraday Future announced its first concept car back in 2016, the company has made less than 20 cars in total. And for the massive accomplishment of producing less than two dozen vehicles, Faraday Future’s founder and CEO went and gave themselves raises. Now at CES 2025, the company is trying to make a comeback with its new line of FX EVs, except that it couldn't even be bothered to paint them. That special camouflage automakers use is usually meant to help hide a vehicle’s design BEFORE it gets announced, not make it look like a half-finished product at its own press event. That said, calling it 50 percent done is probably way too generous. So while there's always a chance a company turns it around, don’t be surprised if you never see a FX Super One on the road.
If you ever need someone to sacrifice their sartorial elegance for a story, he’s your man. And yet, even with a floppy photovoltaic-equipped, mess of a head ornament, there’s still no doubt he’s the most dapper Dan.
Everyone is always worried about when our robot overlords are going to come and conquer us. Except it’s the humans we should probably be worried about the most. That’s because during a demo for Unitree’s robot, its homo sapien operator fumbled the controller, resulting in the robot basically tackling our very own Karissa Bell. Human or robot, that’s just not OK.
Originally this list was meant to highlight interesting things we saw at CES that didn't get a lot of praise (or hate) elsewhere, but then the Mirumi went and won an award. But I don’t care. This robot is designed to do one thing, hold onto your arm and stare cutely at things as you walk around. It's basically a puffball with eyes and a clingyness that can't be denied. And I will protect and cherish it with my life.
Look, taking care of your skin is important. It’s the largest organ in your body after all! But if traditional moisturizers, creams and exfoliants aren’t enough for you, I’m not convinced Shark’s red light mask is the answer. If I’m at home and my significant other comes out of the bathroom looking like goddam Doctor Doom, I’m not getting in bed. I’m running out the door and calling Reed Richards for help.
Chillest booth: AARP
Sam Rutherford for Engadget
The AARP describes itself as "the nation's largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering Americans 50 and older to choose how they live as they age." So instead of encouraging people to hustle around from booth to booth while checking out all the new-fangled gadgets during CES, the AARP went and decided to install a whole-ass pickleball court right on the show floor. Naturally, attendees both young and old stepped up to the net and causally batted balls back and forth with everyone seemingly having a relaxing time in the midst of the biggest tech convention of the year. Good on ya’ll.
Las Vegas is an affront to Mother Nature. It’s an unwalkable city in the middle of the desert filled with all manner of temptations and enough neon lighting to melt your brain. So when a company doesn’t feel like flying in to attend CES, we get it. But that doesn’t mean you can try to weasel your way into the spotlight by sending email pitches about being “perfect for CES, but smart enough to skip it.” Either stop fence sitting and suffer with the rest of us or shut up. So hey Jackrabbit, you say you’re fine not being at CES. That’s cool, we feel the same way.
You know what sounds safe? An electric moped that turns into a quadcopter, but only if you position the propellers and arms yourself. The base model also only has about 25 minutes of flight time while company claims there are a number of built-in safety features, there’s also a built-in parachute. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we can’t have air taxis and such in the future. But this thing does not inspire confidence. However, if you have more guts and than sense, please give it a try and let us know how it goes.
Not every computer part needs to be about pumping out higher framerates and MSI proved that this year by making a CPU cooler with a built-in turntable. What’s the point you ask? Well check out that happy little dragon sitting atop its throne. Just look at him. But really, it could be anything you want up there that makes you happy. The only sad part is that this water block is merely a concept and MSI has no actual plans to put it on sale. What a bummer.
We couldn’t decide which one was more outrageous, so we ended up with a tie for category. For Dell, its new unified branding is largely fine. After all, no one really cares about lines like Latitude, Inspiron and Optiplex. But killing off the XPS name, which is the only Dell sub-brand that has really ever meant something, is a step too far. Meanwhile, in an attempt to woo younger buyers who might not have an affinity for its classic black laptops, Lenovo went and made a ThinkPad with no carbon fiber or a Trackpoint nub. That’s downright sacrilegious. Admittedly, if you’re younger than 50 you might not care, but any nerd who grew up using rotary phones is probably pissed.
Horniest booth: Handy
Sam Rutherford for Engadget
CES is home to all sorts of sex tech, but even among all the vibrators and various toys, the Handy booth somehow managed to be hornier than any other. That’s because in addition to having a selection of kinky gadgets on display, the company had guests lining up to spin a wheel for the chance to take home a prize of their own. And if people eagerly awaiting a chance to take away a pleasure device so they can get their rocks off isn’t horny, I don’t know what is. Just maybe keep it in your pants until you get home.

As devastating wildfires raged across Los Angeles County this week, firefighters battling the blazes encountered fire hydrants that had no water.
Why it matters: The dry fire hydrants sparked political outrage and illustrated just how unprepared municipal water systems are to combat the sorts of large-scale urban wildfires that have become more frequent with climate change.
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Friday ordered an independent investigation into the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP), the nation's largest municipal utility, over hydrants and water supply issues. DWP provides water for more than four million L.A. residents and serves Pacific Palisades, a wealthy area of Los Angeles where much of the destruction took place.
"While water supplies from local fire hydrants are not designed to extinguish wildfires over large areas, losing supplies from fire hydrants likely impaired the effort to protect some homes and evacuation corridors," Newsom said. "We need answers to how that happened."
President-elect Trump has suggested Newsom was to blame for the dry hydrants — claiming without evidence that he blocked water supply to the south of the state with the state's fish conservation efforts. The governor and other experts have sharply rejected the claims.
"We are looking at a situation that is just completely not part of any domestic water system design," Marty Adams, a former DWP general manager and engineer, told The New York Times.
The big picture: Fire hydrants running out of water isn't unheard of during severe wildfires, according to Kearns, as similar instances were reported during wildfires in Maui, Colorado and Oregon.
"It's something that we have definitely started to see as, essentially, these wildland fires move into urban areas and become urban conflagrations," Faith Kearns, a water and wildfire expert with the Global Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University, told Axios.
"Our urban water supply is meant to deal more with things like a single house being on fire," she added.
Why did the fire hydrants run dry?
Firefighters battling the Palisades Fire earlier this week encountered swaths of fire hydrants with no water after the three water tanks supplying the Pacific Palisades ran dry by 3 a.m. Wednesday, Janisse Quiñones, chief engineer of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, said at a press briefing later that day.
The area's water system had been pushed "to the extreme," she said. "Four times the normal demand was seen for 15 hours straight, which lowered our water pressure."
The problem persisted for hours while wildfires ravaged the area, the New York Times reported.
Musk wrote on X Wednesday: "These fires are easily avoidable, but nonsense regulations in California prevent action being taken, so year after year homes burn down and more people die."
Trumpclaimed on Truth Social Wednesday that Newsom, a longtime foe, had "refused to sign" a water restoration declaration "that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California" including areas impacted by wildfires.
Newsom in an X post Wednesday called Trump's claim "that a water restoration declaration" exists "pure fiction."
He said — though not mentioning Trump — during a briefing Friday with President Biden that there have been "hurricane force winds of mis and disinformation, lies."
"And it breaks my heart as people are suffering and struggling that we're up against those hurricane forces as well," the governor added.
Newsom also in a letter to Trump Friday invited him to visit and see the damage in L.A.
Would more water have helped?
Even if the water hydrants hadn't run dry, it wouldn't have changed the fact that urban water systems aren't designed to combat multiple, expansive and fast-moving wildfires all at once.
While every bit of water helps, using fire hydrants and water hoses isn't an effective method of battling "multiple onslaughts of fire under high wind conditions,' she said.
"Is it going to save a whole neighborhood under those kinds of ... high wind conditions? Probably not.
Fighting wildland fires in urban areas also limits the methods that can be used, like aerial drops, which could damage structures below, she noted.
High winds can also ground planes, which was the case when a civilian drone hit a Super Scooper aircraft used in the Palisades Fire on Thursday, per an X post from Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Erik Scott.
That fire was only 11% contained as of Saturday morning.
What we're watching: Kearns said cities need, among other things, high-volume pipes and more backup power to pump waters to higher elevations.
"Now we face the question of whether and how there would be enough funding, for example, to actually develop urban water systems that were equipped to deal with these kinds of wildfires," she said.

Peacock’s The Traitors has way more rules — and production secrets — than some fans may realize.
Inspired by Dutch series De Verraders, The Traitors brings together reality TV stars from different franchises — including Survivor, Big Brother, Real Housewives and more — as they compete in a mafia-style game for up to $250,000. The series premiered in 2023 but has already gone through multiple changes.
“My first idea was to do it on a ship in Australia,” creator Marc Pos recalled to Variety in January 2023. “And if somebody had to be out of the game, he or she had to jump into the water and swim to an island, but then I thought it would be too difficult to produce.”
“The host is not there very much, and has to be careful not to manipulate the game, influence viewers, or spark doubts within the minds of contestants who are in their bubble,” Pos continued. “But when they’re there, they have to be kind of a friendly yet intimidating figure.”
Despite The Traitorsrelying on a shroud of mystery, cast and crew have spoken out about the rules and behind-the-scenes secrets fans aren’t privy to. Keep scrolling for a guide to all the surprising revelations — and perhaps helpful answers to some burning The Traitors questions:
What the Cast Members Know About Each Other
Euan Cherry/Peacock
Casting director Deena Katz confirmed that contestants don’t know who else is on the show until they arrive in Scotland, telling Time in January 2024, “You don’t want them to be able to research each other or talk to each other or form alliances before.”
Season 2 star Sandra Diaz-Twine, meanwhile, explained on the “Reality After Show” podcast at the time that every player was later provided with photos and information on their fellow contestants to help them narrow down who could be a Traitor.
Taking a Personality Test
Euan Cherry/Peacock
During a podcast appearance in January 2024, Mercedes “MJ” Javid recalled taking a 600-question psych evaluation. Executive producer Mike Cotton elaborated to Variety that same month how the tests allow the crew to “see attributes that might make someone a good liar or particularly deceptive.”
“It’s an interesting process. It’s a big group thing,” he explained. “We actually don’t know who the Traitors are until that pick, where Alan walks around and taps them on the shoulder. We watch how they interact when they arrive at the castle. Alan does these chats with them, sitting down and asking them if they’d like to be a Traitor and why. That has a really big bearing on it, as does Alan’s opinion.”
Cotton continued: “It’s almost like a job interview to be a Traitor, and we take all of that into account and decide just before the pick who that should be. We want to make sure we’ve got an interesting mix of characters that will bring their own unique skill set to it.”
Arie Luyendyk, who appeared on the first season, exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2023 about doing “a swim test,” adding, “[It was] to see if we were capable of completing the mission.”
It wasn’t until season 2 that players were able to present their case to Alan about whether they wanted to be a Traitor or Faithful. While viewers at home know who the Traitors are (and how many have been tapped), season 1 star Cirie Fields revealed that other contestants are kept in the dark about crucial details.
“We knew that there could potentially be three to five Traitors in the game,” Cirie told E! News in January 2023 . “That was explained to us from the very beginning.”
The Drink Limit
Euan Cherry/Peacock
According to season 2 star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, the endless drinks seen on screen actually come with strict guidelines.
“You can only drink one drink a night anyway, it was quite restricted,” she told Entertainment Weekly in January 2024. “I remember everyone needed a drink from that round table, it was really intense.”
The Filming Schedule
Euan Cherry/Peacock
Arie recalled not getting more than six hours of sleep a night. “It takes probably an hour for your brain to kind of shut off,” he told Us in February 2023. “You’re there for so long and it’s one of those things where we probably started at 8 or earlier and we probably were up till about 12 to 2 in the morning, depending on if you’re the Traitor or not, because the Traitors had to do their thing after the whole day was finished.”
In addition to filming long hours, the costars also give away their phones and any other forms of communication.
Taking Up Residence in the Castle
Euan Cherry/Peacock
The hit competition series takes place at the stunning and regal Ardross Castle — but do they actually live there while filming? In short, no.
“How glamorous — you come to Scotland, and you stay in the Inverness Airport hotel,” Alan quipped to The Daily Beast in January 2023 about the actual accommodations offered to the contestants.
Alan, meanwhile, has a large changing room which he sometimes used as a place to take naps during production. But ultimately, even he isn’t able to stay at the castle overnight.
“You’re not supposed to talk about the game when the mics aren’t ready or the cameras aren’t on,” Dan Gheesling from season 2 told Business Insider in February 2024. “Because if we say something that’s important and it’s not on camera, they can’t use it on the show.”
After seeing the response to season 1, producers decided to offer players more room in the castle, including the kitchen and an outdoor terrace, in addition to the library, the billiards room, the bar and the roundtable room.
“We’ve got two new spaces this year,” a producer told Parade in December 2023. “We’re calling one the scullery [basically a kitchen], and then outside there’s a tiny little area that’s called the folley which is a little stone-covered area. It’s brilliant. You can get two or three people sneaking out there, and you get these brilliant conversations.”
Catching a Chill in the Castle
Euan Cherry/Peacock
Several players — including season 1 star Cody Calafiore — have mentioned how cold the castle is. “If they did get the heat working, it would probably be a little bit better,” Cody joked to Reality Blurred in January 2023.
Restrictions on Self-Promotion
Euan Cherry/Peacock
Just because everyone on The Traitors is a star on a reality show doesn’t mean they can promote their brands. Shereé Whitfield from season 2 told People in February 2024 that she was not allowed to wear clothes from her own brand — SHE by Shereé — while on camera.
“They said I could not!” she said about the contract guideline. “You can’t wear your brand.”
“They’re checking on you at all times,” MJ said on the “Just Sayin'” podcast in December 2023. “They’re so cheerful and professional. I felt taken care of at all times.” Meanwhile in a separate interview, Ekin-Su said she once cried “overwhelming tears” to a welfare team member.
Security Guards Keep Players in Line

“It’s a massive military operation each night to get the Faithful to bed in individual rooms and get the Traitors back out to have their meeting,” creator Cotton told Variety in January 2024 about attempting to preserve the “secrecy of the Traitors.”
Kate Chastain, who appeared on three seasons of The Traitors in various capacities, told Vanity Fair in January 2023 about how security guards were alway around to prevent players from leaving their hotel rooms.
“Once it was clear that I was not getting the big bucks at the end, I was ready to go home because they ran a very tight ship. There were security guards making sure you never left your room. And we had long days, from breakfast to challenge to banishment,” she details. “By the time you got to your bed, you just wanted to go to sleep and sleep for eight hours because I knew it would be the big day the next day. The food in the highlands of Scotland is nothing to write home about, but it was good enough. I really missed martinis. I really missed a little bit of freedom after a while.”
“It got really intense, you know, a lot of crying, a lot of pointing fingers, a lot of below-the-belt stuff that they didn’t show on TV,” Arie told Us in 2023. “I feel like they kind of kept it pretty chill on TV, but I felt like it was in real life a lot more intense. … I think if it got a little too raw or a little too mean, they just omitted it, you know? They kept it more about the game.”
Allowing Couples Into the Competition
Chris Haston/PEACOCK
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan were the first couple to compete on the show when they joined season 2. (They’ve since split.) But just because they were dating doesn’t mean they were treated like a package deal by production, which meant they had to sleep in separate rooms and were not allowed to communicate with each other.
“Marcus asked me for a nail file, and I put it in a paper bag — and they go through everything, you’re not supposed to send anything back and forth — but he wanted a nail file and I was like, ‘I’m just going to send him a nail file,” she recalled to People. “And then I was like, ‘Oh, there’s a banana. He said he wanted a banana.’ So I [write] ‘I love you’ on the banana and send it to him with the nail file.”
From split pants and broken straps to showing more skin than initially anticipated, stars have had their fair share of cringe-worthy wardrobe malfunctions. And most of the time, it’s all going down in the public eye.
Whether something is snapping on live television or the wind caused a mishap en route to an event, everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Nicki Minajhas found themselves faced with a clothing crisis — but most are able to handle the debacle with ease.
Take Miley Cyrus for example. The singer kicked off 2022 with her NBC New Year’s special. And while her show was going off without a hitch, things took a turn just before midnight.
While in the middle of her “Party in the USA” performance, the strap on her top snapped right off. Rather than stop singing and scuttle off stage, she tossed her shirt aside, covered up her breasts with her arm and strut backstage to change into a blazer.
She even joked about the incident after the fact, taking to Instagram to share a picture of her outfit in its glory. “Get a good look at the top that didn’t stay on very long …” she jokingly captioned her post.
More recently, Justin Timberlake found himself in a fashion faux pas while performing in Nashville, Tennessee, during his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in December 2024. As he strapped into a harness in preparation for his stage to tilt over the audience, fans noticed the safety measure outlined his bulge and the malfunction went viral.
Timberlake later corrected the incident by wearing a noticeably longer shirt during that section of his show.

Glaser brushed off a nip slip while dancing to Taylor Swift’s “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” ahead of hosting the 2025 Golden Globes in January.
In the social media clip, she covered up the incident with text that read, “Oops,” as she thrashed her body around and dramatically danced to the song. Unafraid of the nip slip, Glaser still posted the video on social media and showed off her nude Prabal Gurung gown.
Timberlake accidentally gave fans a look at his manhood while performing on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in December 2024, when he strapped into a harness on stage. Fans captured the moment and shared it on social media, joking he had a “little” bulge.
Later in his tour, Timberlake exchanged his shirt for a longer one to avoid the mishap.
While making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in June 2024, Johnson’s gold strap broke off of her dress. Kimmel then offered her some Scotch tape to try and fix the strap, but she decided to hold it in place instead as she continued her conversation.
In attempts to show off her toned legs in a cutout denim skirt, Morris accidentally flashed her nude underwear while performing in New Jersey in July 2024.
She later joked about the incident on social media, quipping that she would “frame” the skirt. “Hey guyz anything weird happen?!?!” She captioned the post.
Rodrigo ironically had a fashion faux pas while singing her hit “Love Is Embarrassing” during a May 2024 concert as part of her Guts World Tour. During the song, she could be seen fiddling with her top and motioning for a dancer to come and help. The duo were unable to salvage the corset before they had to get back on the main stage, so Olivia held the number in place before running off stage to change.
Perry’s sculptural Kate Barton top broke off in the middle of judging a contestant on an April 2024 episode of American Idol. She held a pillow to her chest as crew members attempted to reconnect the chain and eventually gave up.
“If it’s not fixed, this show is gonna get more than it wanted,” Perry joked. Unable to reconnect the piece, Perry covered her chest with the pillow for the remainder of the show.
Teigen accidentally split the back of her floral Zuhair Murad gown open after the Baby2Baby Gala in November 2023. By the end of the night, she shared a snap of her broken zipper via Instagram. “Oh lol,” she captioned the post.
The Live With Kelly and Ryan cohost experienced a fashion faux pas in August 2022 after sitting down with guest cohost Carson Kressley. “By the way, my fly is down,” Seacrest confessed before reaching down to adjust his suit.
“What? I guess you’re just happy to see me!” the Queer Eye alum joked, to which Seacrest replied that it was Kressley’s sharp style that caused him to change in such a rush before heading out on stage.
To the rescue! Rachel Zegler revealed that her dress broke at the Critics’ Choice Awards in March 2022 — but she had quite the crew to fix her look.
“My dress broke last night. Lady Gaga, Este Haim and Alana Haim all banded together to temporarily fix it with a hairpin. And I think that’s beautiful,” the West Side Story star tweeted.
Like a pro! The Cinderella star suffered a nip slip while showing off her dance moves during a virtual appearance on The One Show in March 2022.She handled the wardrobe malfunction like an expert though, picking up her shirt and finishing her salsa routine without missing a beat. “I hope you didn’t see nipple,” she quipped at the end of the interview.
Shoe shenanigans! During a January 2022 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the This Is Paris star mistakenly wore two different shoes.
Following the episode, Fallon poked fun at Hilton’s wardrobe malfunction. “When you rush out of the house with the wrong shoes,” he captioned an Instagram post of the reality star walking on stage.
Whoops! The 50 Shades of Grey star wore an itty-bitty Magda Butrem dress on The Late Late Show With James Corden that was a little shorter than originally anticipated.
Upon sitting down, the hem rode up and she was forced to cover her upper thigh with her bare hands. After Corden asked if she wanted his blazer, Johnson comically responded: “I’m ok. It’s nothing nobody hasn’t already seen.”
Handled like a pro! The “Party in the USA” singer’s Akna Store top snapped during her New Year’s Eve special on NBC. After tossing the broken shirt to the side, Cyrus strut backstage for a little outfit change. She reemerged moments later in an oversized Saint Laurent blazer.
The "Good Ones" singer must have been happy that the ARIA Awards in November 2021 weren't live. Charli recorded a video from home presenting an award to Justin Bieber and the Kid La Rai for their single "Stay." After Charli sent her well wishes with a little wave goodbye, the strap of her dress slipped down, exposing her breast (which was censored in the video).
The England native was shocked and quickly laughed off the wardrobe malfunction. She rerecorded her presentation without any nip slips for the actual show, but she couldn't help sharing the hilarious clip via Instagram a few days later.
During his May 2021 performance on Saturday Night Live, the rapper split his pants while singing “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” Lil Nas X was wearing tight pants and seemed to be about to start an intricate pole dance, but he instead spent the rest of his performance with a hand on his groin to make sure nothing explicit showed on live TV. "I know i do a lot of planned s--t but ripping my pants on live television is not one of them," he tweeted the day after his performance was broadcast.
During The King premiere in London on October 3, 2019, the star of the film stunned in a plunging black and white gown that nearly slipped to reveal a little more than planned before she caught it. For the rest of the red carpet, the young beauty had to continue holding tight onto the ruffled top, just in case.
Yikes! While wearing a powder blue dress on the runway at the Marc Jacobs' NYFW Show on September 11, 2019, the supermodel's heel broke right before hitting the catwalk. But the star handled it like a champ and walked with confidence on her tiptoes to make it look like she was still wearing heels.
On September 12, 2019, the former Simple Life star attended the Kim Kardashian x Winnie Harlow KKW Beauty makeup launch revealing a bit more than she had planned. Wearing a shiny silver dress with daringly high slit that when blown in the wind displayed her lack of undergarments.
While on a trip to Colombia on September 3, the first daughter wore a navy green midi dress with fanned sleeves. While taking some photos with the vice president and minister of national defense, her dress came in contact with a gust of wind, forcing her sleeves to flare upwards making for a zany pic.
At a screening of the film Ad Astra at the Venice Film Festival on August 29, 2019, the former MTV star accidentally flashed a little too much skin while showing off the high slit of her floral dress.
On Sunday, June 16, the "I Like It" singer performed at Bonnaroo and suffered an oopsy costume moment when her mesh jumpsuit split down the middle of her butt. "I just wanna let y’all know that my outfit ripped” the rapper said, according to the Tennessean. But the rapper didn't let that stop her twerking — she simply exited the stage and returned wearing a white bathrobe, which she donned for the rest of the performance.
The KKW Beauty founder is known for her svelte physique, but she shared a brief glimpse of how she maintains that look in January 2019. While walking around Miami with husband Kanye West, Kardashian wore a dress with a high slit that showed the bottom of her beige Spanx. The reality star has been open about her fondness for control underwear, writing on her app in April 2016, “Sometimes I wear two pairs of body shapers on top of each other — especially when I am heavier, I def double it up. They really hold you in and make you feel secure!”
The Duchess of Sussex proved that royals really are just like Us when she deplaned in the Kingdon of Tonga with the tag still attached to her red Self-Portrait dress on Thursday, October 25. Who could blame her for not having time to double check her outfit before heading out? Not only is she pregnant, she's also been on a whirlwind tour for the past two weeks.
The rapper suffered a major wardrobe malfunction at the Made in America festival in Philadelphia on September 2, 2018. "You know what? Let’s go at it. They done saw my nipples at least 50 times tonight," she said onstage at the time.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wore a bright yellow skirt with a hip-high slit that revealed her underwear as well as a visible fake tan line in Miami on August 17, 2018.
