“Paris has always fascinated me, ever since I lived there as a child. Its grand, symmetrical avenues, emotive monuments, and effortless elegance are timelessly enchanting. Paris Fashion Week is a celebration of vision, creativity, and individuality – values we share deeply at Rolls-Royce. We are always proud to see our motor cars so naturally integrated into the rhythm and style of the city duringthis extraordinary moment in the cultural calendar.” – Phil Fabre de la Grange, General Manager Bespoke, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Paris Fashion Week brings together some of the most influential and expressive individuals in global culture.
At this year’s Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 event, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has a quietly commanding presence across the French capital, taking its place among the style vanguard.
A select fleet of Cullinan and Spectre models are seen at key venues throughout the week, transporting notable guests to runway shows and exclusive after-show gatherings—mirroring the creativity, craftsmanship, and confidence that define this influential platform. Fashion has long inspired Rolls-Royce.
From color palettes in Cullinan Inspired by Fashion to collaborations with prestigious houses like Phantom Oribe, the influence is clear. Techniques from haute couture—such as embroidery and material layering—often shape Bespoke commissions, including fashion-forward creations like Phantom Syntopia.
Summer allure, strictly Italian aesthetics, and a sense of lightness. The new Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 Collection speaks of a completely personal and authentic approach to style and of a wardrobe with a versatile soul, perfectly suited for everyday life.
The protagonist of the collection is the pyjama, which thanks to surprising combinations with unexpected aesthetic harmony, becomes casual, cosmopolitan, but also chic and elegant.
Part of the brand’s DNA brought to the runway in the 90’s, the pyjama is presented here in its classic, exquisitely Italian interpretation, in lightweight cotton jacquard with vertical stripes.
Layering, styling experiments, and touches of color contribute to present the pyjama in a new context. From beige to light blue, from cream to navy, and from green to brown, and timeless black: the color palette is refined and moves among neutral shades, punctuated with the iconic polka dot and leopard prints.
The silhouettes favor soft cuts, emphasized by pleats and wide hems on the trousers, oversized lines on shirts and jackets, and premium leather pieces inspired by the 80’s.
Knitwear follows the same stylistic direction thanks to soft cardigans that, when needed, serve as outerwear; lightweight pieces paired with pyjama trousers, and handcrafted braided rope creations that convey a sense of lightness, highlighting Dolce&Gabbana’s artisanal mastery.
At night, the pyjama becomes precious, offering an elegant look, thanks to a harmonious dialogue between stripes and luminous hand-embroidered stones and crystals.
Among the accessories are cameo brooches and collar pins, necklaces with bright and colorful stones, worn individually or layered with rosaries, and sunglasses with designs inspired by past eras yet infused with the modern and unique attitude of every outfit.
The looks are completed with oversized Sicily bags, Vittoria bags offered in various sizes, shoulder-strap beauty cases, clutches, and models that replicate the cotton pouch coordinated with the pyjama.
The relaxed style of the collection is also reflected in the footwear selection, which features sneakers, terry cloth sandals, and fur-free slides.
‘Gabi is the type of artist you go to bat for.’ – Vaughn L.
Swedish 27-year-old, born and raised in Gothenburg, indie recording artist Gabriella ‘Gabi’ Goldman, is positioned to become the secular R&B act of her generation.
After taking vocal lessons from a coach for a decade or so, Goldman realized that she had a talent that she needed to share with the world. Her voice reminds me of powerhouses SZA and Raye.
On May 30, Goldman, a Brilliant Minds nominee, just released her last single, Nostalgia, which was written by herself and James Newman and produced by Stuart Crichton, from her debut EP For Myself, which was released on Redvolution Music. Memorable moments in her life are woven together melodiously. She taps into her cerebral to explore issues related to mental health and self-awareness. The newly launched heart-wrenching yet spellbinding track paints a dismal picture of someone trying to release the loss of love. Daily drunk texting intermixed with massive amounts of uncertainty about what the future holds on a relationship front. The singer-songwriter effortlessly executed the lyrics with extreme vulnerability while showcasing her sultry, soulful vocal acrobatics. Dive deeper into her soundtrack. Other dynamic tracks include: 2 Hard 2, Body Heat, and standout Few Good Friends.
Professionally packaged, she is an ingenue with a credible acting resume and an insatiable desire to entertain. With amazing visuals, a silky sound, and an undeniable exotic beauty, coupled with a strong sense of style, it’s only a matter of time that she will become a household name. After all, Hollywood has a newfound infatuation with multi-hyphenates that they can further build out their brands.
This fall, Gabi Goldman will be moving to Hollywood for an acting class.
GABI GOLDMAN Q+A
Have you faced any difficulties as an independent recording artist with their own label? Can you share a few of your most memorable moments during your journey? Any major accomplishments or losses?
That’s not an easy question to answer. It’s really tough, I’m not gonna lie. I began at a young age. At 16, my manager at the time started arranging meetings and sessions in Stockholm during the weekends (i’m from gothenburg), and later on trips to LA, meeting record labels, A&Rs etc. I never in a million years thought I’d go independent after that, but that was the natural result after that experience. I’m beyond grateful for that, not only for learning and doing it myself but also for the knowledge I now possess. I’ve cried myself to sleep endless nights, feeling panicked and alone, but then I’m just as happy when I get booked for huge shows and events and get the attention and recognition I always longed for. It is true that it goes both ways. I’m proud.
What is your goal with this cinematic body of work now that your debut EP For Myself has been completed with Nostalgia? Tour? Do you have any plans to shoot a video? Have any songs been used in films or TV shows?
Yes, my visual team and I did a project alongside my EP. We created one-minute clips for every song, which tells a story throughout the whole EP. I have not yet posted the last clip for Nostalgia, I am still holding onto that one for a little longer. A teaser can be found on my Instagram here.
If you had the chance to collaborate with any artist in the world, who would you choose and why?
I think I and 070 Shake could do something cool. Or the weekend, KWN even. I love Raye, but we might be too close in sound. If Amy Winehouse was alive, she would be HER! I apologize for my ADHD… This one was too challenging.
Brilliant Minds nominated you, and you became a finalist for Brilliant Sounds. Can you remember where you were or what you were doing when you were informed of this honor? What was your initial reaction to this? Who was the initial person you contacted?
Yes, it’s funny you asked. During the day of the job, I was in the bathroom at my sales advisory job and felt extremely glamorous! I couldn’t call anyone, but I was jumping up and down while texting my family in our group chat. Don’t give up your day job 😉
Would you like to share anything we haven’t discussed? What advice do you have for aspiring artists? Community involvement? Do you have any current causes or organizations that you’re donating your name or likeness to?
Don’t be too hard on yourself (I tell myself that every day). Don’t be what people expect you to be. Don’t listen to people telling you that you’re too much, too little, or too everywhere. You’re you, and that’s okay. Life is too short. Do what you want, someone will understand and believe in it.

The estate of Whitney E. Houston announces eleven new certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
During her historic 40th anniversary in music and entertainment, Houston is the first African American Recording Artist to have three RIAA Diamond-Certified Albums.
The Estate of Whitney E. Houston today announces the eleven new certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) of the global icon Whitney Houston. This year marks the historic 40th Anniversary of Houston’s career in music and entertainment (February 14, 2025 through February 14, 2026).
In the era of digital streaming, Whitney Houston still remains on top with record-breaking sales from her Arista Records music recordings, including her combined physical sales, digital downloads, and on demand audio and video streams. Houston’s eleven new U.S. RIAA certifications include one album, The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album (19x Platinum) and ten of her biggest and most iconic songs: “I Will Always Love You,” (11x Platinum); “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me),” (8x Platinum); “I Have Nothing” (4x Platinum); “Higher Love” with Kygo [released on Kygo/RCA Records] and “How Will I Know” (each song is 3x Platinum); “Heartbreak Hotel,” “My Love Is Your Love” and “Saving All My Love” (each song is 2x Platinum); and “Run To You” and “Count On Me” (each song is Platinum).
Additionally, Houston is the first African American artist to have three RIAA Diamond-certified albums (10x Platinum for each album) including her self-titled debut album, Whitney Houston; her second studio album, Whitney, and The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album.
“We are honored to share this great news with Whitney’s fans,” says Pat Houston, the executor of The Estate of Whitney E. Houston and the president of The Whitney E. Houston Legacy Foundation. “I know that Whitney would be happy to know of the impact that her music has made globally. She always had a generous heart and a loving spirit. She would want us to say thank you to every person that contributed to her recordings, her productions, and the marketing of all her records, especially to Clive Davis and the extraordinary team of Arista Records through her many years at the label.”
Pat Houston continues: “Whitney would also want to say thank you to our partners, Primary Wave Music and her label home, Sony Music Entertainment and Legacy Recordings. She would be delighted to know that her loyal and worldwide fans have continued to love her and carry on her musical legacy through the generations. On behalf of her family and The Estate of Whitney E. Houston, we thank you for celebrating Whitney’s fortieth anniversary with us and for giving her your many years of love and support.”
RIAA President and Chief Operating Officer Michele Ballantyne says: “Whitney Houston’s iconic voice and powerful songs have carried her legacy across generations. With eleven new certifications, RIAA is proud to celebrate how her enduring impact is still felt throughout the music industry and as the Estate’s partnership with Sony finds moments to reach new fans. We are grateful for the remarkable gift Whitney left for us all!”
The highly anticipated The Boy Is Mine Tour was officially announced today on CBS Mornings by Brandy and Monica. The iconic GRAMMY Award-winning artists will embark on their first-ever co-headlining run this fall. Produced by Black Promoters Collective, the 24-city arena tour kicks off October 16 and travels across the U.S. through December 7. It also marks a historic moment more than 25 years in the making, building on the legacy of their 1998 game-changing duet “The Boy Is Mine,” which spent a record-shattering 13 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a defining cultural touchstone of late ‘90s R&B. The song also placed them in an elite group of artists — including Whitney Houston (14 weeks with “I Will Always Love You”) and Mariah Carey (16 weeks with “One Sweet Day”) — who have commanded the Hot 100’s top spot for 13 weeks or more.
Joining them on the road is a powerhouse lineup of special guests: GRAMMY-winning superstar Kelly Rowland, chart-topping singer-songwriter and GRAMMY winner Muni Long, and rising star Jamal Roberts, fresh off his 2025 American Idol Season 23 win. With talent that spans generations—from foundational to future—the tour is positioned to be one of the most unforgettable, unmissable live events of the year.
Last year Brandy and Monica captivated a new generation with a surprise cameo in Ariana Grande’s “the boy is mine” music video from her GRAMMY-nominated album Eternal Sunshine. Then, in a full-circle moment, they lent their voices to the official remix. The video appearance sparked a viral frenzy, racking up millions of views and “the boy is mine” remix with Grande earned the duo a GRAMMY nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance—more than 25-years after the original win for “The Boy Is Mine,” which took home Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 1999 GRAMMY Awards.
The Boy Is Mine Tour promises a celebration of two of the most influential voices in R&B, each with catalogues full of era-defining hits that have shaped the genre across decades. It’s a monumental moment: it’s not only the first time Brandy and Monica have toured together, but a generational convergence honoring their unmatched influence while ushering in a bold new era of R&B.
“Bringing Brandy and Monica together for this tour is more than just a moment — it’s a cultural homecoming,” says Shelby Joyner, President of Black Promoters Collective. “Their impact on R&B is immeasurable, and ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to be one of the most iconic collaborations of all time. At BPC, we’re committed to celebrating culture and legacy, and this tour is a powerful example of both.”
“This really is a full-circle moment. Monica and I coming together again isn’t just about the music—it’s about honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come. ‘The Boy Is Mine’ was a defining chapter in R&B, and to share the stage all these years later is bigger than a reunion—it’s a celebration of growth, sisterhood, and the love our fans have given us from day one.” — Brandy
“The love that ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to receive means everything to me. This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us. Brandy and I have been on our own unique journeys, and coming back together in this way is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music. We’re giving the people what they’ve been asking for, and doing it with grace, love, and purpose. God’s timing perfectly aligned us.” — Monica
Fans can expect a powerful, soul-stirring, and high-energy night of music and vocal brilliance, backed by a live band and special collaborative moments on stage. Each night promises to be more than a concert — a musical milestone.
A cinematic mini-movie marks the perfect cue for this moment, watch again HERE. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker and production designer Ethan Tobman—known for his work with Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Ariana Grande, in addition to Oscar- and Emmy-winning projects. Tobman delivers a The Boy Is Mine mini-movie with a bold and emotional visual, setting the stage for the tour.

Louis Vuitton announces an official multiyear partnership with Real Madrid and unveils its formal wear and Formal Travel Wear Collections for the Men’s and Women’s football teams, as well as for the Men’s Basketball team. By joining forces with Real Madrid, Louis Vuitton becomes part of the legacy of the most decorated club in history, which has united exceptional talents under its colors since 1902.
Specially crafted for the players and members of the Real Madrid teams and designed by Louis Vuitton’s Men’s studio led by Creative Director Pharrell Williams, the formal wardrobe includes ready-to-wear pieces, shoes, and accessories that will be worn during official representations.
The collection, created exclusively to accompany the team on their international travels, features pieces with assertive lines and timeless style. These pieces are complemented by a series of accessories such as a leather belt with a palladium LV buckle, a navy cotton embroidered cap, and exceptionally supple LV Soft. A bespoke luggage line completes this wardrobe, which includes: the Horizon 55 carryon suitcase, Keepall, and Christopher backpack, as well as travel accessories.
As a partner of the greatest sporting events of our era – from the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games to the Formula 1® World Championship – the House has already left its mark on the world of elite sports. Now, by outfitting all the club’s players and representatives for major travel and events, this unprecedented collaboration confirms now more than ever that “Victory Travels in Louis Vuitton.”
The collections are not available for purchase. However, some of the House’s emblematic models and the Mon Monogram personalisation service can be found in stores and online at louisvuitton.com.
Louis Vuitton announces new fragrance, Sun Song. Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud was inspired by the contrasts, state of mind, and spirit of Los Angeles, exploring the West Coast in all its light, extravagance, and delicateness.
The collection’s aptly-named Sun Song is an anthem to sunny days, turquoise skies, and rays of light reflecting off the sea–the joys of summer sun warming the skin. In Jacques Cavallier Belletrud’s eyes, bright orange blossom sets the tone for this radiant fragrance, lemon lifts the spirits, and musk underscores this jubilant bliss. A unique fusion between the airiness of a fruity mist and the depth of flowers, each Cologne Perfume in this olfactory escapade tells a tale of light.
When designing the bottle, Alex Israel–a leading figure in modern art–turned to a bright and fun-loving color palette. Inspired by midsummer’s hues and the artist’s signature gradients, a sunny yellow-orange color ramp turns the bottle into a true concentrate of light.
Sun Song will be available in select Louis Vuitton stores and on louisvuitton.com starting July 3rd.
Pictures From The Fringe and Concourse Media have released the official trailer for GUNS & MOSES, a gripping action-thriller hitting theaters nationwide on July 18. Inspired by the real-life 2019 shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue, the film delivers a powerful mix of suspense, moral courage, and cultural relevance — confronting the rise of antisemitism with unflinching resolve.
Starring Mark Feuerstein (“Royal Pains”), Neal McDonough (“Tulsa King”), Alona Tal (“Veronica Mars”), Craig Sheffer (A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT), Jackson A. Dunn (BRIGHTBURN), Christopher Lloyd (BACK TO THE FUTURE), and Dermot Mulroney (MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING), GUNS & MOSES features a standout ensemble bringing gravity and grit to this urgent story.
Directed by Salvador Litvak and written by Nina Litvak & Salvador Litvak, the film follows Rabbi Mo, a quiet spiritual leader in the high desert, who is forced into action when a violent assault on his synagogue turns his world upside down. What unfolds is a modern-day tale of faith, resilience, and the unyielding fight to protect one’s community.
“This film is more than a story — it’s a conversation we need to be having,” said Litvak. “Every moment on set carried the weight of real lives at stake. Jews are under attack. When we say never again, it means we need to step up and defend ourselves. And thank God we have allies in this fight. Moving toward release, we’re not just sharing a movie — we’re inviting audiences into a movement for security, partnership and responsibility around firearms.”
As violent antisemitic incidents increase both in the U.S. and abroad, GUNS & MOSES lands at a critical cultural flashpoint. Drawing from Litvak’s own training with Magen Am — a Jewish volunteer security force — the film sheds light on a growing movement within the Jewish community: one that prioritizes preparedness, safety and the sacred responsibility to defend life.
The film is produced by Lee Broda with LB Entertainment and Aimee Schoof with Intrinsic Value, both known for championing bold, socially conscious storytelling across genres. With a strong track record of producing thought-provoking and impactful films, Broda and Schoof bring both creative vision and a deep sense of purpose to GUNS & MOSES — ensuring the story resonates far beyond the screen.
Founded by husband & wife filmmakers Salvador & Nina Litvak, Pictures From The Fringe is a production and distribution company focused on character-driven genre films that embody traditional values. Previous films include WHEN DO WE EAT? (2006), the cult classic Passover comedy starring Max Greenfield, Ben Feldman, Shiri Appleby, Lesley Ann Warren, Michael Lerner and Jack Klugman in his final role, as well as SAVING LINCOLN (2013), the tale of Abraham Lincoln and his closest friend/bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon, starring Tom Amandes, Penelope Ann Miller, Jonathan Roumie, David Dastmalchian and Lea Coco.
