The Boy Is Mine Tour: Brandy & Monica—One Stage, 25 Years Later
Twenty-five years after topping charts with their iconic duet, Brandy and Monica are back with fire—owning the spotlight and taking over like they never left before. Today kickstarts the official ticket sales for The Boy Is Mine Tour, a 24-city celebration spanning North America this fall. If you grew up on those endless R&B hooks and harmonies, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for.

Brandy x Monica
From Chart-Topping Duo to Feuding Foes… and Back Again
In May 1998, “The Boy Is Mine” exploded onto the scene, and took the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 whole weeks, selling over 2.6 million copies, and earning Brandy and Monica a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance . However, tension arose behind the success; rumours were circulated by public opinion and industry pressure, leading to a backstage clash prior to their MTV VMA performance.
During the Verzuz showdown in 2020, the long-dormant relationship was rekindled. In 2024, a remix featuring Ariana Grande provided audiences a sense of nostalgia while demonstrating to both artists that their magic endures.
A Whole-Circle Celebration
Now, Monica and Brandy are back together and unrepentant. As Brandy put it, “This really is a full‑circle moment… honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come.” Monica echoes this sentiment, calling the tour “a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us” .
It’s more than just a concert; it’s a tribute to sisterhood, growth, and legacy.

Olandria Carthen Dazzles in Pajtim at the 2026 Vanity Fair Party
After the Oscars ceremony, the Vanity Fair after‑party becomes its own runway, where attendees arrive in remarkable looks and make as much of a style statement as they did on the official red carpet. Olandria Carthen, who has been making headlines for her fashion looks since appearing on Love Island USA as “Bama the Barbie,” lived up to her reputation at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars after‑party in Los Angeles on March 15, 2026, wearing a custom white gown by Pajtim Raci.

Olandria Carthen – Instagram
Olandria wore a custom pleated gown featuring a dramatic halter-neckline that transitions into a plunging, open front bodice. The bodice is tightly ruched, all the white chiffon pulled into a single structured point at the waist before opening into a sheer floor-length skirt with a train.

Olandria Carthen – Instagram
Wide cutouts on both sides of the waist left her midsection exposed, reflecting the gown’s deliberate design.
Her hair was styled in a loose curly updo with a few pieces falling around her face. Makeup included sculpted eyebrows, a soft smoky eye, and a glossy 90s inspired lip. Accessories were diamond pieces by Azature, including statement rings.

This gown showed a more sculptural side of Pajtim Raci. Chiffon is a difficult fabric to work with keeping the bodice firm while allowing the skirt and cape to flow is not easy. Pajtim got it right, and Olandria had no trouble wearing it. That credit belongs to the designer.

Lori Harvey Rocks a Daring Thigh-High Slit at Chanel’s Paris Show
Lori Harvey stepped out for the Chanel Fall/Winter 2026 Womenswear Show in Paris, wearing a look that paired a cropped tweed jacket with a vivid red blouse and a beige Chanel skirt cut with a striking high slit.
The look consists of a bright red blouse worn beneath a cropped brown and cream tweed jacket. The blouse was slightly open at the collar, creating a V-shaped neckline. The jacket featured tweed fabric and metallic buttons along the front.

Harvey wore a beige Chanel midi skirt that was fastened in front with three rows of large buttons. The cut opened high along the right side, forming a high slit revealing her leg. A slim burgundy belt sat at the waist, repeating the colour of the blouse.
She completed her look with a small black quilted Chanel clutch, narrow-tinted sunglasses, and pointed nude heels.
Harvey kept her hair pulled back into a firm ponytail. Her makeup featured warm tones, with softly shaped brows, light eye definition and glossy nude lips. Harvey’s styling and choice of accessories helped her stand out among the guests at the Paris show.

Jadrolita Goes Futuristic in All-Pink for her Birthday Shoot
When it comes to birthday photoshoots, most celebrities play it safe. A glamorous dress, soft lighting, a cake prop and a few smiles for the camera. But Jadrolita chose a completely different direction for her latest birthday shoot. She stepped into a futuristic world, dressed head to toe in pink, poses as a character pulled straight from a sci-fi film rather than a traditional celebrant.

The concept leaned heavily into technology, identity, and digital culture, themes that already sit at the center of Jadrolita’s public persona. Known for blending artificial intelligence storytelling with lifestyle content, her birthday shoot felt personal and carefully planned rather than experimental.
The first thing that stands out is the colour choice. Every part of the look revolves around pink. It gave the impression of someone existing in a digital universe where colour replaces emotion and storytelling happens visually before words are spoken.
Her outfit consists of a fitted bodysuit crafted from a glossy material. The structure hugged her silhouette closely, creating a clean outline from shoulder to ankle.

Layered over the bodysuit was a sculpted jacket designed with exaggerated shoulders and defined edges. The tailoring introduced structure without making the outfit look heavy. Instead, it reinforced the futuristic theme, resembling protective gear worn by a character built for a digital era. Not forgetting her glasses which completed the futuristic look.
Hair and makeup followed the same direction. Her hair was styled in a short pixie cut with clean edges. Her makeup was kept nude.
What makes this birthday shoot notable is how clearly it reflects Jadrolita’s brand. She has built an online identity around digital intelligence, virtual interaction, and futuristic storytelling. Instead of separating her birthday celebration from that identity, she leaned fully into it.
