“Beauty starts with confidence and honoring your authentic self,” said Long. “I am excited to partner with Estée Lauder, a storied brand founded by a woman who believed beauty should uplift and empower us to celebrate ourselves every day.”
“This feels like such a full-circle moment for me,” she added.
Furthermore, Long’s collaboration with Estée Lauder feels like more than just a beauty deal, it’s a cultural moment. After all, she embodies a generation of Black women who are redefining the definition of eternal beauty by being self-assured, multifaceted, and thoroughly self-assured.

Kloé Kardashian revealed in a recent episode of The Morgan Stewart Show podcast that she was “conned” into joining “Keeping Up with the Kardashian,” which caught widespread of viewer’s attention because the show became one of the longest-running and most commercially successful reality franchises, so it’s hard to imagine anyone feeling misled about being part of it.
According to Kloé, she and her sister Kourtney Kardashian were not interested in pursuing fame or appearing on television. The idea of having cameras follow their everyday lives wasn’t something they wanted.

“I never was like, ‘Gosh, I gotta be famous. I need to be on TV. Kourt and I, when we were approached to do the show by my mom and Kim, we said, ‘No, we’re not doing this show.”
Kloé hinted how the show was initially presented in a different direction, something that was centered around their Dash business at that time, rather than a full look into their personal lives.

“How my mom conned us into doing it was, she said, ‘Think of it as a commercial for the store. Cause all we wanted to do was focus on the store, we had no employees. It was just me and Kourt. We had a kids’ store and the women’s store, and she was at the kids’ store; I was at the women’s store. Kloé recalled.
We did everything, the cleaning, the taxes, the steaming of the clothes. We had not one employee. We didn’t know what we were doing.”
Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered in October 2007. It went on to document the family’s everyday lives and ran for 20 seasons before coming to an end in 2021. The family returned to screens with their Hulu series, The Kardashians.

Speaking about the journey with Vanity Fair on the red carpet of their Oscars party in March, Kris Jenner in awe said “We thought we would do it and see what happens and before we even finished half of the first season, they picked up for season two, so we got so lucky and we loved doing it. We’re filming, right now, season 28, if you add them all up, the best one was the first one, and the other best one is the one we’re doing right now. Everything in the middle is just a blessing.”
After her press run for the film The Drama, where her appearances featured bridal-inspired looks, Zendaya arrived at the Los Angeles premiere of Euphoria Season 3 with a more minimal look, revealing a new detail.
Wearing a custom couture design from Ashi Studio, styled by Law Roach, she stepped onto the carpet in a deep espresso satin gown featuring a halter neckline, open back, and cut-out sides. The silhouette revealed the shoulders, spine, and ribcage.

As she posed for photographers, a small “T” tattoo placed along her ribs became visible but small immediately picked up in side-profile images.
The marking is widely interpreted as a reference to Tom Holland. Their tattoos were previously confirmed by People to have been done in November 2024 by tattoo artist Lily Jarnryd. Holland is reported to have a corresponding “Z” tattoo.

Zendaya has not directly addressed the tattoo publicly. However, in a recent appearance on The New York Times’ Modern Love podcast, she spoke about her relationship with Holland, said she feels more at ease with him than apart that made her know he was the right person.
Her styling at the premiere was kept minimal. Hair was worn up to keep the neckline and back unobstructed, and jewelry was limited to diamond pieces, including hoop earrings and rings worn throughout her recent appearances.
