Michelle Obama isn’t only a former First Lady, she’s a total style star.
Michelle, who is the wife of former president Barack Obama, can easily pull off any color and silhouette with aplomb. From hot pink suits to glitter-flecked tops, she effortlessly stands out at every turn..
One of her most memorable style moments came in October 2024, when she looked chic in a matching set from Theory as she attended a rally for Kamala Harris in Kalamazoo, Michigan. For the event, she stunned in a tortoise shell blazer, which she wore over a black sweater. Michelle elevated the piece with trousers featuring the same print, hoop earrings and black heels.
Making a strong case for color, Michelle popped in a magenta suit at the 2022 Clooney Foundation For Justice Albie Awards in New York City. She opted for a monochromatic look for the evening, which included a silky blazer, top and bottoms.

Bethenny Frankel never lets a wardrobe malfunction get her down.
The Real Housewives of New York City star, 54, laughed off her dress popping open via TikTok on Thursday, January 16, as she spoke at a Nasdaq stock exchange event. In the clip, she spread her arms open, making a second button of her dress pop open, revealing her nude bra underneath. Frankel started hysterically laughing before buttoning the piece back up.
“Is it ever NOT something? Today’s wardrobe malfunction at @Nasdaq brought to you by yours truly,” Frankel captioned the post.
Fans giggled with Frankel in the comments section. “I’m crying laughing so hard,” one wrote, as another added, “Such a Carrie Bradshaw moment!!!” A third follower commented, “The most Bethenny thing to happen to Bethenny in a while!”
Frankel is no stranger to a fashion mishap, with her last one being at the It Ends With Us premiere in New York City in August 2024.
As she climbed into a car, she shared that the removable strap off her pink dress “came off” during the premiere. Frankel even held up the strap to prove it completely detached.
“I was in the rain. My shoes that are gorgeous are soaked,” she said while zooming in on her pastel pumps featuring large florals attached to the heels. “I can’t go out. This is why nobody takes me anywhere. It’s a freaking disaster.”
Although she experienced a sartorial faux pas, Frankel still stunned at the premiere with her corset top featuring lace-up sides, paired with a pleated skirt. She dialed up the sparkle factor with a silver watch, stacked diamond bracelets, an elegant necklace and dangling earrings.
As she arrived at the red carpet, Frankel kept warm in a pastel shawl, which she later swapped out for for a glittery pink purse.
She matched the color palette to her glam, which included bubblegum eyeshadow, extra rosy cheeks and fuchsia lips. Her brunette hair was parted down the middle and she loosely curled her strands. Indeed, no amount of loose buttons or errant straps will stop Frankel from slaying.
Stause, 43, exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about what went on behind the scenes of the season three of the murder-mystery show, sharing that the cast was responsible for their own hair and makeup. “I would’ve died to have glam in the castle, but [host] Alan [Cumming] [did] not allow us to,” the TV personality said.
“At least with Selling Sunset, you get to sit in a chair and have glam,” she added.
While Stause was her own hair and makeup artist, she still slayed. One of her most talked-about looks was a pink Balmain dress with black polka-dots, also worn byMargot Robbie, Gisele Bündchen and Alix Earle. The frock featured long sleeves, shoulder pads, a plunging neckline and rose details at the hip and bust.
Stause made the look her own with platform black sandals and a voluminous half-up coif. She also got a chance to show off her makeup skills and donned a full beat, including long lashes, bronzed cheeks and pink lips.
Stause further compared Selling Sunset to Peacock’s The Traitors to Us, sharing she got super into the murder mystery game — despite running on little sleep.
“We’re filming from 8 a.m. to the latest — I got home one time at 2:00 a.m,” she told Us. Although she was waking up bright and early to film challenges for the show, Stause still got glammed up and dressed to the nines.
“Obviously, I absolutely loved the experience, and it’s one of those things where you’re just dying not to leave,” she said. “In the game, I loved it. Anyone would be heartbroken to leave. But that being said, your body is so tired too.”
Compared to Selling Sunset, Stause still found The Traitors less taxing. “Even though I had no sleep and I didn’t have my phone, I still would rather someone go after me in that way and not go after my actual family and friends,” she said, noting that with Selling Sunset, she’s subject to online criticism surrounding her personal life. “Selling Sunset is more stressful.” Then again, at least there’s glam!
Duxbury, 25, took to TikTok on Thursday, January 16, to reveal that she didn’t actually use the obscene amount of foundation that she went viral for. “Since TikTok might be getting banned there’s one secret I need to share with you,” the beauty guru captioned the video. “I did wipe some of those 10 pumps off.”
Fans shared their thoughts in the comments section, happy to finally learn the truth. “Reveal of the century,” one follower wrote. A second added, “I needed this kind of closure, thank you.” A third, who believed Duxbury’s hack, commented, “NOOOOO YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME RN I BELIEVED YOU.”
Duxbury went viral back in 2023 by taking her makeup to the extreme with a whopping 10 pumps of foundation on her skin before layering on concealer, bronzer, blush and more. At the time, other makeup creators were opting for a “clean girl” aesthetic, which consisted of minimal foundation, dewy skin and soft features. Duxbury, however, stood out for her heavy glam.
In April 2023, she shared a TikTok explaining why she used so much foundation, and even ensured fans that she was indeed using all 10 pumps despite being accused of wiping some off.
“I do not remove all the foundation and redo my makeup. I use my hands to blend it in to reduce the amount of waste of foundation,” she continued, noting that brushes and sponges absorb some of the product. “A lot of people think I do my foundation like this for views, which is untrue.”
Earlier this month, Duxbury maintained her claims that she used that much foundation, writing via TikTok, “When everyone says my 10 pumps of foundation were just for views … it was real, believe it or not.”
After revealing Revlon’s Glimmer Gloss, Nogueira, 26, exclusively spilled the tea to Us Weekly on the product, sharing her true thoughts on the stain. “You heard it here first, the Super Lustrous Glimmer Gloss is the next ‘It Girl’ lip gloss” the makeup artist revealed. “Whether I’m keeping it natural and glowy, or doing full glam, these products elevate every vibe with a little shimmer and shine,” Nogueira gushed. “It’s not sticky or gritty like a lot of other glosses out there; I’m obsessed.”
Revlon’s Glimmer Gloss, which launched on January 6, features 10 shades that are a “total game-changer” according to Nogueira. Her favorite? The Bronze Spark, which she told Us is a “chef’s kiss!”
“I’m totally addicted to the hydrating and nourishing formula, it makes my lips feel so soft and smooth after every use,” Nogueira continued. “I keep one of these lippies in each of my bags [along with the Revlon ColorStay Lip Liner] because I just can’t leave the house without it!”
When it comes to confidence, Nogueira feels her best with black hair and a bit of self-tan. She recently added red highlights to her midnight mane but told Us she’s not planning to experiment with other colors.
“The red highlights did not last very long,” she joked. “I got them for the holidays to spice it up, but for almost 15 years now, I have been dying my hair black. I feel most confident and most like myself with black hair.” Nogueira also noted that she “loves” the contrast between how dark her tresses are and how fair her skin is with her polarizing green eyes.
“I am naturally blonde which is interesting because most people only know me with black hair. I don’t think I will ever go back to my natural hair color,” Nogueira said while chatting with Us. While she hasn’t spotted any gray strands yet, the only way she could see herself changing her hair up is if she goes fully silver.
Nogueira also opened up to Us about what she’s “insecure” about, which is a red lip. “Every time I do a red lip for a video, I take it off right after,” she told Us, noting it would be “majorly” outside of her comfort zone to wear it on a red carpet — even though the guru admitted it would be a “power move.”
“I try so hard to feel confident and comfortable in a red lip, but I haven’t come around yet. I always preferred the focus to be on my eyes and not my lips,” she explained.
When it comes to her everyday routine, Nogueira uses a concealer that’s part of the Glimmer collection, the brand’s Brightening Concealer. “It’s like a cup of coffee for your face,” she quipped. “A little under my eyes goes a long way and it looks like I actually got eight hours of sleep, even if I didn’t.”
Nogueira also recommended the Glimmer Blush Drops to Us as a “dupe for some other high-end products” on the market.”
Something she’s still experimenting with is self-tanner. After joking that getting a bronze at home is not her “area of expertise” because her hands always turn out “awful,” she shared a tip she recently received from a fan.
“I saw a comment that said to do your hands last when you self-tan, let it sit for ten minutes, and wash your hands. It worked really well!” Nogueira told Us. “My hands actually matched the rest of me for once!” Her go-to tanning products include the Tree Hut scrub, Lux Unfiltered Shower Oil and Sol De Janeiro Body Butter.
Bynes, 38, showed off new footwear designs via Instagram on Thursday, January 16. In her notebook, Bynes sketched a low-top platform sneaker featuring “LOVE U BRO” written on the outside of the shoe’s sole.
“Designing shoes — will start production soon!” Bynes captioned the post. “Sneakers made with PVC material overstayed over nylon + foam.”
Bynes shared another shoe design with her fans as well, this time a platform combat boot with the same text embroidery. For an elevated twist, the boot featured the letter “L” in “Love” in cursive.
Bynes’ Love U Bro shop also includes artwork, such as a canvas covered in plum fabric with pastel pink bows creating a smiley face. The piece, along with an abstract “Gold Dream” design, retails for $2,000.
Back in October 2024, the She’s the Man star entered the fashion world by collaborating with designer Austin Babbitt and his eponymous line.
Bynes designed a number of T-shirts and shorts featuring sketches of a woman alongside a jack-o’-lantern, artistic faces and more.
The following month, she had a pop-up for the clothes and artwork in Los Angeles. At the event, Bynes posed in front of her work while rocking a black sweater with cutouts over her chest and fitted black pants. She tied her ensemble together with edgy black boots.
Back in 2020, the former actress opened up to her fans, sharing that she was looking to get into designing.
”Sup, Instagram. Just wanted to say hi to all of my followers; I really wanted to say I appreciate you so much for supporting me,” she gushed. “I’m really looking forward to starting my clothing line, and I’m hoping that in the near future it will be out online.”
Now that’s what we call the power of manifesting your dreams — and making them a reality.
Palmer, 31, stepped out in a plaid look that had Us totally buggin’ over the one and only Dionne “Dee” Davenport, played by Stacey Dash, in Clueless, while in New York City on Thursday, January 16. For her outing at NBC Studio, Palmer wore a fuzzy black-and-white plaid coat featuring gold buttons and an ankle-skimming silhouette.
Palmer wore the jacket open, giving fans a glimpse of her matching mini skirt and black turtleneck top, a pairing that would have looked right at home in Beverley Hills. The actress, who is in Manhattan to promote her new movie, One of Them Days, tied her Clueless-esque look together with knee-high boots, a black leather purse and sleek gloves. She further accessoried with dangling gold earrings and a Dionne-worthy leather cap.
Palmer added even more eye candy to her look with a flawless full beat, featuring sharp eyebrows, bronzed and blushed cheeks, smokey eyeshadow, long lashes and pink glossy lips.
Palmer looked just like Dionne, who iconically wore a black-and-white plaid blazer fearing leather lapels while pulling up to school with Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) in the 1995 cult-classic movie. Just like Palmer’s outfit, Dee rocked a matching mini skirt and black knee-high boots. Instead of a leather cap, she wore a statement hat featuring a large rim, a white top and a red embellishment. She topped off her outfit with a white button-up shirt and a Clueless requisite red sweater vest.
Palmer has had no shortage of fabulous looks while doing press in New York City.
On Thursday, January 15, she rocked a little black dress with a matching coat. Earlier in the day, Palmer looked colorful and cozy in a teal set featuring fur lining. She elegantly flipped her auburn mane while strutting through the city and gave the camera a soft smile.
Paige DeSorbo has her reasoning for not getting a breast augmentation.
DeSorbo, 32, opened up about deciding not to get a boob job during a Thursday, January 16, episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast, which she co-hosts with Hannah Berner.
“Rest in peace to Denise Richards’ breast augmentations,” Berner, 33, said while kicking off the episode. “Two of her breast implants ruptured.” (Richards, 53, recalled her implants rupturing while chatting with Entertainment Weekly last week about season three of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. During a challenge, she jumped off a bridge and damaged her implants and now has to get surgery to either replace or “remove” them.)
DeSorbo replied, “I wonder if you know right when it happens. I wonder if you can feel it inside you, like, ‘I just popped a bag.’” The Summer House star then shared her thoughts on going under the knife to enhance her chest. “Here’s a reason I went against getting a boob job. “If something is going to happen medically, I know I’d be the type of body to be like, ‘We don’t want this’ and reject it.”
She continued, “That’s what happened to Paris Hilton! She got a boob job years ago, and her body rejected them and she got them taken out right away.”
DeSorbo might know some tea that is not public information because Hilton, 43, has consistently denied getting plastic surgery in the past.
“I feel really proud that I’m all natural,” Hilton said during a November 2024 podcast episode of the “Zach Sang Show.”
“I’ve stayed out of the sun. I’ve never done any Botox, injectables, no surgery, nothing,” Hilton added.
This isn’t the first time DeSorbo has been candid about plastic surgery. In November 2024, she exclusively told Us Weekly that she plans to get a mini-facelift down the line.
“I feel like now that I’m 32 and I haven’t gotten Botox or fillers, catch me at 40 with just a mini facelift,” she said, noting she wants the same glow-up Christina Aguilera had.
Although Aguilera, 43, has not commented on getting a face lift, she has said that she uses Merz Aesthetics and Xeomin, an injectable that helps prevent frown lines. In March 2023, the singer told Allure, “I think we all can rely on a little help.”
Aguilera added: “I think it’s great to share and to be honest and open about what you’re doing — in your comfort zone, of course. I’ve always been a pretty open book about embracing my body, my looks and things like that.”
Dancing With the Stars alum Lindsay Arnold shared everything you need to recover from a breast augmentation.
Arnold, 31, took to Instagram on Wednesday, January 15, to share everything she’s been using since going under the knife. Some of her cozy staples included grippy fuzzy socks, a heating pad, a plush sleeping mask and comfy bras.
She also has been using an orthopedic bed wedge designed for post-surgery, so that she can comfortably relax while still sitting up. (Most doctors recommend waiting six to eight weeks after a breast augmentation before sleeping on your side or stomach.)
Ahead of her surgery, Arnold ordered silicone sheets to help with scarring, a cold breast pack, a soft seat belt cover, a hoodie featuring drains that can connect to a post-op bra and a chest pillow to protect her chest while sleeping or driving.
Arnold has been keeping her fans in the loop on how she’s been recovering from the surgery. On Wednesday, she shared, “I’m feeling so much better today,” revealing in a video, “Not gonna lie, coming out of anesthesia yesterday was rough. I was super nauseous, dizzy [and] threw up anytime I stood up.”
Despite some discomfort, Arnold noted that “the pain has been totally manageable,” adding, “Very minimal!”
Arnold opened up about wanting a breast augmentation last month via TikTok, sharing that she wanted a “natural” look with “fullness and volume.”
Already a mom of two, Arnold said she wants to continue to have children with husbandSam Cusick in the future, confirming her doctor told her that it’s “totally OK” to get her breasts done before expanding her family.
Ahead of her surgery, Arnold told fans that she was “so excited” but also “nervous.” To keep her hair out of her face and comfortable, she parted it down the middle and wore her mane in two French braids. She also shared that she was “leaning towards” going with a 265cc implant to keep a moderate look.
#TrippingWithTarte: We know it, we love it and we (sometimes) raise our eyebrows at it.
If you’re anything like Us, you’ve been following Tarte influencer trips for years. From makeup gurus posting content from Turks and Caicos and Alix Earle bringing her mom on the brand’s Dubai trip to Ken Eurich and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia squashing their beef in the British Virgin Islands, the getaways are filled with drama, fun activities and more.
Tarte had their most recent brand trip in January 2025, where Eurich and LaPaglia became friends again, and JaNa Craig, Mei Mei Monstaa and more partied on the sandy beaches of Neckter Island, played tennis and created tons of content.
Some fans were upset to see the influencers partying while the greater Los Angeles wildfires spread, and shared their thoughts via social media.
“Tarte never fails to make me roll my eyes anymore lol, their brand trips always leave a bad taste in my mouth but especially now sending all these influencers to this lavish private island while people are losing their homes and loved ones,” one person wrote via X.
Aware of the sensitive situation, Tarte donated $250,000 to Wold Central Kitchen to aid in the fires, as well as donated their proceeds from January 8 through January 11 to the non-profit.
They also donated $10,000 to the Los Angeles Department, as well as another $10,000 to California Wildfire Response Fund for wildlife rescue as the girls enjoyed a game of Neon Beach Olympics.
From friendships forming — and breaking — to unfair hotel room sizes, keep scrolling to see all the controversies that have happened on Tarte trips.
Influencers Spreading Rumors About Each Other
Tana Mongeua and Brooke Schofield shared that they planned to spread a fake rumor about someone on their Bora Bora Tarte trip until a tropical storm canceled the outing.
After “campaigning” for herself to go on a Tarte trip for “years,” Schofield had the idea to start “the most out of pocket rumor” and test how long it took for the girls on the trip to air it out on social media.
“We devised this evil plan for our live shows,” Mongeua explained. “If you guys have ever seen these trips you know how it goes. Rumors get spread, drama gets started, s— blows up on the internet.”
Schofield added, “We were like, ‘What kind of drama should we stir up on this trip?’” Although they didn’t have a chance to create a rumor about one of the travelers, there still has been a lot of other drama that went down before influencers.
Brianna Chickenfry and Kennedy Eurich Drama
During an episode of her “Dumber Blonde” podcast, Eurich called LaPaglia out for being mean to her on a previous press trip.
“I get the email about the Tarte trip,” Eurich said, referencing the January 2025 trip she took to Neckter Island, the British Virgin Islands.
After her manager told Tarte that Eurich was “down” to go and asked for a guest list, the cosmetics team asked her to hop on a phone call, making the TikTok star suspicious about who else was attending.
“I have a feeling it’s gonna be about: someone Kennedy doesn’t work well with is going.” On the call, Eurich found out that LaPaglia was also invited. “Here’s the thing,” she said. “If Brianna Chickenfry would have just said, ‘Hey girl, sorry I probably was a bitch to you, I would have been like, ‘Girl, you are so good.’”
“Who knows?” she continued. “Maybe she’ll apologize on this trip and the world will be sunshine and rainbows and buttieflies but she doesn’t give me the vibe of a bitch who would apologize.”
Eurich posted the podcast clip to her TikTok account on Monday, January 13, as she was still vacationing with LaPaglia. In response, LaPaglia took to TikTok on Tuesday, January 14, to share a clip of her and Eurich telling fans they “squashed” their beef.
“It was squashed,” Eurich said, as LaPaglia admitted, “Ok listen, I was a c—.”
Eurich then replied, “No, I was a c—. We were both c—s.” LaPaglia suggested that they might “butt heads a lot” because of how similar their personalities are, and tested a vlog coming soon.
Unequal Hotel Room Sizes
Tarte caught heat in April 2023 when influencer Sri Lankan shared a room tour with her followers during the brand’s Turks and Caicos getaway.
Fans noticed that Lankan’s room was not nearly as nice as Meredith Duxbury’s, who had a beach-front view, a walk-in shower, two balconies, a vanity and more.
Lankan later addressed fans’ comments after returning from the trip, agreeing that her room was “way too small.”
“I’m a brown minority creator and a lot of the time I get the short end of the stick,” she said. “I hope people will understand it was never about the size of the room, it was about getting treated equally to my counterparts.” Lankan noted that she talked to the Tarte team and they explained that some of the rooms were assigned while others were picked out randomly.
PR Gifts
Not all gifts are created equal when it comes from Tarte. After a number of influencers including Halle Kate and Olivia Boblet, Lauren Wolfe received $700 Mini Hermès Kelly bracelets in a PR gift in September 2024, other creators shared via social media that they received a similar package from Tarte but with a $30 necklace replacing the designer accessory. Eurich was in the batch who received the Every Jewels name necklace, and took to TikTok to discuss the matter.
“They’re picking favorites and this is f—ed up,” she said. “Ya’ll are on my s— list for that. That’s sick and it’s twisted.”
Tarte later made it up to Eurich during their Neckter Island trip when the brand’s CEO and founder Maureen Kelly gifted the beauty guru an Hermès scarf and mini Kelly bracelet.
“Better late than never!” Kelly said in the clip.
How Much Do the Trips Cost?
With luxurious locations and five-star hotels such as Dubai, Bora Bora, Greece, Hawaii, Turks and Caicos and more, fans have wondered how much the influencer trips cost the brand, as they watch guests enjoy spa days, photoshoots, snorkeling, jet skiing and more. TikTok user Jill Justine, who claimed she used to manage the influencer trips, put fans’ minds at ease while she explained the vacations were “a lot more affordable [for the brand] than you think.”
“Most of the time, all of those things were free because we were partnering with the hotels, with the event, with the experience, because all of them are getting exposure as well,” she said.
“Honestly, the only thing we didn’t get for free sometimes were the flights,” she continued. “And even then, sometimes we would partner with the airlines and get those for free too.”
What is Tarte getting out of the trips?
Tarte benefits from their lavish trips by networking with influencers and being able to share content with their millions of followers.
Kelly told Forbes in February 2024, “We believe that our investment in relationships has been mutually advantageous. We get to know our amazing influencers and appreciate their individual perspectives, they get a fun, relaxing experience and they get to know Tarte. She continued, “To us, this is far more valuable in the long term vs a one-off media campaign like a multi-million dollar Super Bowl commercial.”
Kelly also shared that “in the beginning we just couldn’t afford to take any other approach.” She added, “We had to be resourceful — we connected with influential people and media outlets and allowed them to discover and fall in love with the brand and products at their own pace and on their own terms.”
Paige DeSorbo is kicking off her single girl era with incredible style.
DeSorbo, 32, took to Instagram on Tuesday, January 14, to show off a statuesque look while posing in her “office” a.k.a. The Plaza in New York City. For her impromptu photo shoot, the Summer House star — who split from boyfriend Craig Conover late last year — looked angelic in a corset peplum top embellished with a pleated bottom and a matching fitted skirt with a bubble skirt at her shins.
In true Paige DeSorbo style, no outfit is complete without accessories! She added a pop of color to her ensemble with a circular gold gift box that she fashioned into a purse. DeSorbo completed the fit with the perfect amount of sparkle thanks to her dangling diamond earrings and glittery sandals.
DeSorbo opted for a voluminous blowout while posing in the hotel, donning a deep side part with her curtain bangs swept across her forehead. She also donned a full beat, including soft eyeshadow, rosy and bronzed cheeks and lined nude lips.
Elsewhere on social media, DeSorbo shared part of the process of her getting her hair done by Michael Silva. In the reel, the hairstylist zhuzhed up her roots while tossing her ends up for more volume.
This isn’t the first time DeSorbo has made headlines this week. When she was spotted at a Philadelphia Eagles game on Sunday, January 12, fans noticed she was sitting next to mystery man and wondered if she was on a date. (DeSorbo announced her break up with Craig Conover last month after three years of dating.)
After lots of chatter via social media, DeSorbo chimed into the conversation and wrote, “Ima be outside a lot get used to it.”
For the game, she looked effortlessly stylish in an embroidered jacket from Kristin Juszczyk’s brand, Off Season. The jacket featured black shoulders, a forest green body and “Eagles” sewn into the waist and back in large white letters.
DeSorbo teamed the jacket with a black baseball cap, dark pants and a rectangular purse.
LaPaglia, 25, opened up about her breakup with Zach Bryan while stunning on the magazine’s cover, which launched on Wednesday, January 14. For her photo shoot, she rocked a number of sexy bikinis, beaded swimsuits, plunging one pieces and more.
Photographed by Katherine Goguen at The Austin Estate, LaPaglia first wore a black Christopher Esber design featuring a deep V-neck, a halter top and an open back. She wrapped her hands around her stomach and chest while posing for the camera in the sand. For glam, she donned mascara, manicured eyebrows and glossy lined lips. She crimped her honey blonde strands to fit the beachy aesthetic.
Next, she changed into a brown swimsuit that accented her bronzed skin. The beaded design, by Tropic of C. Top by Andres Otalora, hugged her curves as she wore a trial printed top underneath.
LaPaglia also wore a silky gold design that exposed her bellybutton and sideboob, as well as a snakeskin SAME Los Angeles halter top and cheeky bottoms.
In the article, the “BFFs” podcast cohost got candid about Bryan, 28, revealing he told her in May 2024 that if she hosted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s 60th anniversary celebration red carpet, it would come off as “trashy” and off-brand.
Now that she’s made her steamy debut on the magazine’s cover, LaPaglia quipped that her photoshoot “is just, on a petty level, my favorite f— you.” She quipped, “This is me, and I wanted to do this, and now I’m on the digital cover.”
LaPaglia continued, “It’s a lot more than me looking quote-unquote hot in a swimsuit — it’s me reclaiming who I am as a woman, reclaiming my body and my decisions and my choices.” She added, “This cover is me being me again and taking control of my life. This is my body; my body isn’t that experience, and even though I’m not 100% in it right now, this is me. This doesn’t have anything to do with anybody else.”
The influencer, who split with Bryan in October 2024 after more than a year of dating, spilled that the singer was allegedly emotionally abusive and controlling while they dated. LaPaglia also claimed that Bryan offered her $12 million and an apartment in New York City if she stayed silent about what happened during their relationship. (He hasn’t publicly commented on the breakup since his initial statement. Us has reached out multiple times for comment.)
Refusing to take the money and opening up about her experience, LaPaglia became a spokesperson for women who went through similar situations.
“I think people do tend to forget I’m just 25,” LaPaglia said about the “overwhelming” response she received after opening up about her relationship.
“It’s really overwhelming to feel the pressure of being a role model on top of everything in my life being very public, because at the end of the day, I’m still just a girl trying to figure her life out.”
Simone Biles treated herself to a timeless Birkin bag.
Biles, 27, took to Instagram on Tuesday, January 15, to show off the latest Hermès Birkin she purchased. The gymnast shared an unboxing video, where an employee pulled the accessory out of a dust bag. Biles zoomed in on the purse, which featured a brown body, white stitching, gold hardware and tan embellishments. The Birkin, which had small structured handles, retails for $34,000, per Maison de Luxe.
“,” Biles captioned the post. “Treated myself to a new lil baby while in New York.” She continued, gushing over her husband, Johnathan Owens, “Johnathan came for emotional support, baby I was sweaaaating.”
While this is possibly the largest purchase Biles has made, she’s also the proud owner of an Hermès Kelly bag.
Biles showed off her sleek black Kelly bag while posing with Owens, 29, on a date night in New York City on Monday, January 13. Her bag featured small hand straps and a single long crossbody hook. The design, which retails for $30,000, was complete with silver hardware.
While the accessory is the epitome of elegance, Biles dressed it down with a white zip-up hoodie and charcoal baggy jeans festooned with tiered fringe. She added the perfect amount of sparkle with a silver “JO” ring, Owens’ initials, dainty necklaces and a hand chain.
Owens, for his part, coordinated in a black bomber jacket, dark pants and a graphic white T-shirt. He teamed his look with a chain necklace and a flashy watch.
Her Kelly bag is perhaps the same one that she splurged on after becoming the most decorated gymnast of all time during the 2024 summer Paris Olympic games. While shopping, she shared pics of printed Birkins, a brown crocodile-skin Kelly and more. She later teased the purchase by snapping a pic of her orange Hermès shopping bag.
In our minds, celebrities lead idyllic existences — but in reality, they struggle with all the same natural (and normal) issues we grapple with. As we grow and age, cellulite becomes more present on our skin. According to Healthline, 85% of women aged 21 years and older have cellulite (especially on the thigh area), but it’s not as normalized as it should be. While some of Us are able to fully embrace the skin texture, others may not love it as much — especially when we see our favorite stars looking flawless on the red carpet.
One of America’s most-discussed A-listers, however, opened up about her cellulite journey and even shared her go-to product to get rid of the stubborn dimples. According to a slew of sources, Kim Kardashian praised the Seaweed Bath Co.’s Firming Body Cream on her Snapchat story a few years back. The life-changing product isn’t only approved by the Kardashians star, it’s also affordable to boot.
The luxurious body cream is on sale for just $15 right now, and is infused with botanical extracts to help boost circulation — as well as green coffee bean extracts and bladderwrack to increase skin elasticity. Unlike other cellulite-targeting creams, the Seaweed Bath Co.’s Firming Body Cream is scented with rosemary so you’re sure to feel like you’re getting a spa treatment at home.
Not only will it improve the appearance of your skin, it’s also made with hyaluronic acid which can prevent signs of aging and hold in moisture. The creamy formula is also sensitive skin-approved, plus includes over 65 vitamins and minerals to help nourish and detoxify the skin even more. Apply the Seaweed Bath Co.’s Firming Body Cream once per day — or as needed — and massage the product into the skin until it’s fully absorbed.
If you need any more convincing, check out these fabulous customer reviews:

Dorinda Medley was just as bummed as Us to get the boot on season 3 of TheTraitors.
The Real Housewives of New York City star, 60, gushed about what fans could have seen if she wasn’t the first to get “murdered” by Danielle Reyes, Carolyn Wiger and Bob the Drag Queen during The Traitors, which aired on January 1. “I went in strong. if you saw my outfits, you would have been very appreciative,” Medley told “Out & About” podcast cohosts Pat McAuliffe and Joey Camasta on Tuesday, January 14.
“I got a screener so I did see [some] of them,” Camasta reassured Medley.
“Yes, but that was only a handful,” she replied, noting she had many more fabulous ensembles packed.
Medley previously gushed to Glamourabout the looks she planned to wear on Traitors in an interview published on Monday, January 13.
“I had the best outfits ever,” she said. “I broke out all my old Vivienne Westwood. I had all my Prada tartans, I had a lot of Libertine. Endless amounts of Burberry. I didn’t get to break out any of it. And the shoe situation was out of control.”
As for her emotional exit, Medley admitted that she wanted fans to feel “both disappointed and angry.” She quipped, “Yeah, that’s a good combo I think for this one. They should feel betrayed.”
During her short time on the show, Medley rocked a number of statement styles, including an Americana red, white and blue patterned jacket with glittery eye embellishments. She teamed the look with a white blouse with an oversized collar, black bedazzled pants and beaded earrings.
Suki Waterhouse knows exactly how to pull off denim shorts in the winter.
While leather shorts and tights are having a huge moment this winter, Waterhouse, 33, changed up the style for denim shorts instead. Waterhouse, 33, demonstrated how to wear the cutoffs in winter while out and about in New York City on Monday, January 13. For her chilly outing, the model wore blue jean shorts featuring fringed bottoms. To keep her legs a bit warmer, she wore sheer black tights underneath.
The singer teamed her look with a brown knit top, a $1,790 fur coat from Isabel Marant and leather western style boots featuring gold hardware, also from the fashion house. Waterhouse accessorized with oval Kate Young x Tura Ivy sunglasses featuring brown frames and stacked silver rings.
She hooked a black leather bag over her shoulder and put in headphones while walking through the Big Apple. The Daisy Jones & The Six alum went makeup free and pushed her honey blonde hair back.
While she may have put her legs on display this time, Waterhouse previously covered up in suede pants last month in New York City.
Ahead of the holidays, she looked chic in a ruffled cream blouse from Chloé ($1,790), which she wore underneath a $4,490 brown leather Chloé coat with a fur neckline and cuffs. As Waterhouse made an appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show that same day, she dropped in a number of stacked rings from Vrai, Suzanne Kalan and Yvonne Leon.
Waterhouse tied her look together with a baby blue Chloé bag ($2,350) and the label’s Georgia Ankle Boot ($1,290.)
For her appearance, she donned glittery eyeshadow, long lashes and rosy cheeks. Her hair was parted down the middle and loosely curled. A sartorial and glam win-win!
Simone Biles knows exactly how to mix high fashion with off-duty clothes.
Biles, 27, took to Instagram on Monday, January 13, to show off her New York City date night outfit with husband Jonathan Owens, where she proved any outfit goes well with a Hermès Kelly bag. For her night out on the town, Biles paired a black Kelly hardback featuring silver hardware — which retails for $30,000 — with charcoal jeans equipped with tiers of fringe. Mixing elegance with comfort, she wore a white zip-up hoodie and white pointed-toe boots.
For glam, Biles kept her look chic with filled-in eyebrows, soft eyeshadow and long lashes. She completed her look with hoop earrings, a “JO” ring, honoring her hubby’s initials, and a cheetah print phone case.
Owens, 29, for his part, sported a black bomber jacket, dark pants and a graphic T-shirt. He teamed the getup with a silver chain necklace, a chunky ring and a stylish watch.
Biles later showed off a closeup of her Kelly, which might be the purse she rewarded herself with after she became the most decorated Olympic gymnast at the 2024 summer games.
In a separate social media snap, Biles teased a second Hermès purchase. She snapped a pic of her orange shopping bag alongside the caption: “.”
While the Olympian has not yet shared what her splurge was, Biles did indeed show off another date night ensemble with her “bae.”
Biles teamed a fitted black top with pleated bottoms and dainty jewelry. Owens adorably wrapped his arm around her hips in a gray suit, which he elevated with a black turtleneck top.
Owens and Biles met on a dating app in 2020. The Chicago Bears safety later got on one knee and popped the question in February 2022. The following year, the couple tied the knot in a Houston courthouse and celebrated their love a few weeks later in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
“It’s important to understand where you’ve been, but I think it’s really joyous to say, ‘I may not know where I’m going, but I’m here,’” Shields said. “I want to look my best, and I want to be healthy,” the actresses added.
While Shields admitted that she wishes “things were a little higher and tighter,’” she still feels that she’s “earned everything I have on my face.”
“It’s important to pat yourself on the back and say, ‘What do you want to do now?’ You’re no longer tied to biology in the same way,” Shields explained.
This is hardly the first time Shields has been candid when it comes to aging. Earlier this month, Shields exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about the changing views around getting older in a modern-day world.
“Yes, [aging] does have the downsides, but [women are] no longer chasing something: gotta have babies by this age, gotta get married, gotta finish college,” she told Us. “There are so many decades where we’re just trying to get to the next stage. And then there’s a shift.”
“I feel I deserve it more. I still get afraid. I still get nervous I’m not good enough. I still have to force myself to push through, [but] we are becoming unignorable,” the Pretty Baby star said. “We’re pretty formidable, and I think that’s a little frightening for everybody.”
Kelsea Ballerini is gearing up for her tour in the most fashionable way.
Ballerini, 31, teased the wardrobe from her upcoming Kelsea Ballerini Live on Tour via Instagram on Sunday, January 12. In the snap, she zoomed in on part of her costume, waiting to reveal the rest when she takes the stage for the first time on Tuesday, January 21, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Her glamorous outfit featured a pastel pink feathered mini skirt that cascaded to the floor and trailed behind her. Ballerini grounded the look with knee-high blush leather boots and nude fishnet tights.
Based on Ballerini’s usual stage style — which consists of sparkly catsuits, micro shorts, shimmering gowns and more — fans can expect an extravagant lineup of looks for her tour.
She recently shimmered in a strapless ensemble while performing in London last month. For the show, she rocked a black sequin romper that hugged her curves. The ensemble was finished with super-short shorts that showed off her toned legs.
For glam, she parted her thick blonde hair down the middle and styled it in beachy waves. Ballerini added even more sparkle to her look with glittery eyeshadow, extra-long lashes and glossy nude lips.
While she sparkles on stage, Ballerini keeps it laid-back during rehearsals in cozy off-duty staples, including sweats, knit sets and more.
Back in October, she showed off a picture of her rocking a mustard yellow long-sleeve top and matching ribbed pants while rehearsing. Ballerini went fresh-faced for the run-through but got into character with a “Cowboys cry too” embroiled hat.
Ballerini’s Live on Tour will kick off in January and span multiple cities, including Charlotte, Boston and Los Angeles, before wrapping in Omaha, Nebraska in April.
