Zendaya attended the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards in Los Angeles in a white dress, continuing her recent series of white outfits.

Styled by her longtime stylist Law Roach, Zendaya wore a white vintage Caché dress inspired by a design with sculpted ruching gathered toward one side of the gown. The design included a slanted neckline and one-shoulder. The most notable detail of the piece was its oversized hibiscus appliqué positioned along the neckline, with layered petals and metallic leaves.

The floral appliqué extended down the ruched side of the dress. She paired the dress with white Christian Louboutin pumps and minimal jewelry, including a single gold Cartier bracelet. Stylist Roach shared a video of the actress on the red carpet, captioning it: “An iconic piece of fashion history at ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards.”

The dress was originally made by designer Eugene Stutzman, who also worked under the name Eugene Alexander. The piece gained attention when Whitney Houston wore it in a 1987 promotional photoshoot. Her version featured two large blossoms along the neckline. The image was later used on a cover of Life magazine.

The dress returned to the public eye when costume designer Patricia Field reimagined a modified Caché version of the design for Sarah Jessica Parker in her role as Carrie Bradshaw for the first Sex and the City movie, reducing the floral detail to a single bloom. Zendaya wore a vintage Caché version of the design at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards.

Zendaya previously wore an all-white look at the Louis Vuitton show on March 10, with a thin gold band on her left ring finger and no engagement ring. The same band was seen earlier on March 5 in promo photos for her upcoming film, “The Drama,” with Robert Pattinson. While the gold band and her recent white outfits hint that the rumors may be true, the actress has yet to confirm them.

Shakira has a long history of stadium performances, with past appearances for the FIFA World Cup and Super Bowl adding to her presence on major live stages. On June 11, she performed at the opening of 2026 FIFA World Cup ceremony in Mexico City Stadium, where she wore a custom Off-White piece.

Her outfit was styled by Italian Nicholas Bru and consisted of a fitted high-neck bodysuit in a yellow shade with cut-out detailing throughout the design. The look was paired with matching opera gloves in the same shade.

She wore it with an asymmetrical mini skirt created by Off-White, in a mix of lavender, white, and yellow jersey-inspired paneling. She added fishnet tights and white high-top sneakers from R13, designed with a basketball-inspired silhouette and lace-up detailing.

Shakira was joined on stage by Nigerian artist Burna Boy. They performed this year’s official World Cup song, “Día Día.”

With this appearance, she became the first and only artist to perform at four separate FIFA World Cups. Her previous appearance was in 2010, when she performed “Waka Waka” in a custom Roberto Cavalli set.

One noticeable detail across her performances is the coordination between her outfit and microphone. In 2010, her microphone carried a neon pink tone that matched her outfit, while in 2026 it appeared in a yellow finish that complemented her stage look.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup celebrations will continue across the remaining two host nations, Canada and the United States. The second host ceremony will take place in Canada on June 12, with performance from Alessia Cara, Katy Perry, Elyanna, and Tyla. The tournament concludes on July 19 in New Jersey.

While fans continue to speculate about her upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at the Toy Story 5 premiere on June 9 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The singer stepped onto the red carpet just days after releasing her new song, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which features on the film’s soundtrack.

For the occasion, Swift wore a look from the Erdem Fall/Winter 2026 ready-to-wear collection. The off-the-shoulder corseted mini dress featured floral patchwork across the front, a raw hem, and a bow-tied detail on one sleeve. Crystal embellishments traced the upper bust and extended down the corset.

Her accessories included a horseshoe necklace, which she had worn back in April during an outing in New York. At that time, she had not yet announced her collaboration with the film. Now, it appears the necklace was an early teaser, linking back to Toy Story. The piece of jewelry connects to Jessie, the cowgirl character she wrote about in her track “I Knew It, I Knew You.”

When she first released the song on Friday, she explained what it felt like writing from the character’s point of view. She wrote, “This song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a Toy Story kid from age 5 till now, it’s an adventure I plan to be on to infinity and beyond.”

Following the release of the new single, the film’s director and screenwriter, Andrew Stanton, spoke about how the song fits with the film. “It’s incredible just how meaningful it’s been having Taylor write and perform this song. Her connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable. The song is so deeply connected to Toy Story. So much so that on first listen, it instantly felt like it had always belonged there, like a long-lost family member. It was kismet.”

On the first day of its release, Apple Music revealed that “I Knew It, I Knew You” became the biggest country single of 2026 and broke the record for the biggest soundtrack single based on first-day plays. On Spotify, it became “the most streamed country song in a single day by a female artist,” while Amazon Music reported it as “the biggest first 24-hour streaming debut globally for any song” in 2026.

Toy Story 5 is set to hit theaters on June 19.
