Rihanna’s Met Gala Fashion Evolution Through the Years
We can think of a million reasons to love Rihanna, but what easily ranks is that she never hesitates to take a fashion or beauty risk on the red carpet.
The Fenty Beauty founder has served up some of her most memorable looks at the Met Gala. She attended her first Met Ball back in 2007, where the then-19-year-old beauty sparkled in a white grecian-inspired Georges Chakra gown with a crystal-embellished bodice that she accessorized with black fishnet gloves a la Madonna.
In 2014, she added a little surprise with her structured crop top and skirt combo, but it was 2015 when everything changed for the “Anti” singer.
“I remember being so scared to get out of that car because I felt like, ‘I’m doing too much,’” she recalled of her yellow Guo Pei cape dress in a 2020 interview with Access Hollywood. “I was driving past the red carpet, and I was just seeing, like, gowns, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m a clown. People are going to laugh at me. This is like, too much.’ I thought that. I circled like three times, I’m not even joking. And finally, I was like, ‘Whatever, let’s go. I don’t regret it.”

8 Netflix Series That Are So Good, You’ll Want to Binge Them in One Weekend
As one of the earliest successful streaming services, Netflix has played a significant part in creating “binge-watch” culture, particularly as a result of how the streaming service releases its shows all at once. While the platform has plenty of long-running shows that can keep you entertained for weeks at a time, its catalog also features several great series that are practically designed for a weekend watch, including some true modern masterpieces.
Whether you’re looking for a short and sweet miniseries or an ongoing show that’s still entertaining enough to keep you engaged through multiple seasons, Netflix’s library boasts an abundance of titles to choose from, which can honestly make it a little difficult to zero in on your next weekend binge. But fret not — here’s our handpicked selection of the very best Netflix series that are so good, you’ll want to binge them in one weekend.
1
‘Baby Reindeer’ (2024)
Created by Scottish actor and comedian Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer is a black comedy thriller inspired by his semi-autobiographical one-man show, starring Gadd as a fictionalized interpretation of himself named Donny Dunn. A struggling comedian and bartender, Donny tries to extend some goodwill and support to a distressed customer named Martha, but his life is upended when she becomes increasingly obsessed with him, forcing him to face his personal demons. Besides Gadd, the series also stars Jessica Gunning as Martha, with Nava Mau, Tom Goodman-Hill, Nina Sosanya, Michael Wildman, and Shalom Brune-Franklin in supporting roles.
Baby Reindeer was an instant success when it was first released in 2024, garnering critical acclaim for Gadd’s writing and acting and for Gunning’s breakout performance. Darkly funny, highly thrilling, and intelligently crafted, the series is so engaging that you would want to watch all seven of its episodes in one go. The miniseries stands out with its gripping and complex take on themes of dangerous obsession, and it has been widely hailed as one of the best miniseries of the 2020s.
2
‘Bodies’ (2023)
Adapted from Si Spencer’s DC Vertigo graphic novel, Bodies is a British sci-fi mystery thriller created by Paul Tomalin that revolves around the discovery of an anonymous dead body in the same London neighborhood at different times between 1890 and 2053. When detectives in their respective timelines begin an investigation, each of them finds puzzling clues, all connecting to a time and space-bending conspiracy that threatens the existence of mankind. The show stars Stephen Graham, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Shira Haas, Amaka Okafor, Kyle Soller, Greta Scacchi, and more in key roles.
A high-concept sci-fi thriller, Bodies is a fantastic combination of murder mystery, time travel, historical conspiracies, and period drama that would instantly appeal to hard sci-fi fans. Even though the story unfolds slowly and gradually, the narrative successfully maintains high tension and unpredictability throughout, making it a highly addictive thriller that demands non-stop viewing. Bodies has been critically acclaimed for its elevated narrative, anchored by compelling performances, and it’s often compared to other confoundingly complex sci-fi shows like Dark and 3 Body Problem.
3
‘The Residence’ (2025)
Inspired by Kate Anderson Brower’s non-fiction book, The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House, The Residence is a mystery comedy-drama created by Paul William Davies that centers on the scandalous murder of White House Chief Usher, A.B. Wynter. The entire White House staff and their schedule are thrown into disarray, and eccentric detective Cordelia Cupp is called in to investigate, uncovering all their sinister internal conflicts and backdoor politics. Uzo Aduba stars as Cordelia Cupp and Giancarlo Esposito as A.B. Wynter, with Randall Park, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Susan Kelechi Watson, Edwina Findley, and Ken Marino in lead roles.
An investigative exploration of the “upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs” of the world’s most prestigious house, The Residence delivers a refreshingly different whodunit story where every episode leaves you wanting to watch more. Aduba’s stoic birder-sleuth Cordelia Cupp is an inventive reimagination of the conventional “oddball detective” trope, translated brilliantly through the actor’s performance. Come for the murder mystery, stay for the quirky characters, dark satire, and Wes Anderson-esque visual aesthetics.
4
‘The Gentlemen’ (2023–Present)
Created and directed by Guy Ritchie, and loosely inspired by his 2019 film, The Gentlemen is a Netflix crime thriller series starring Theo James and Kaya Scodelario that follows Edward “Eddie” Horniman, an English nobleman who inherits his family’s crumbling estate and businesses after his father’s death. When Eddie discovers a secret cannabis business involving dangerous drug lords and career criminals, he unwittingly becomes a part of the seedy underworld. The ensemble cast also includes Daniel Ings, Ray Winstone, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Giancarlo Esposito, and more.
In his first television directorial project, Guy Ritchie brings the hallmarks of his storytelling style to the small screen, seen in The Gentlemen’s production values, visual style, and character designs. The Netflix original series is as slick and sleek as the original film, and arguably darker in its humor, with more eccentric characters and witty dialogue. Packed with excellent performances, family drama, high-speed action, and comedy, The Gentlemen makes for a highly satisfying watch that’s perfect for binging over a weekend.
5
‘Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials’ (2026)
Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is a murder mystery miniseries created by Chris Chibnall and adapted from Christie’s 1929 novel, The Seven Dials Mystery. The series kicks off with the mysterious death of Gerry Wade, a guest at Lady Caterham’s country estate. Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent, Lady Caterham’s daughter and Gerry’s love interest, sets out to investigate, uncovering a chilling plot involving secret organizations and a long-drawn conspiracy. Mia McKenna-Bruce stars as Bundle and Helena Bonham Carter as Lady Caterham, with Edward Bluemel, Iain Glen, Martin Freeman, and more in key roles.
With its high-end production and compelling performances by McKenna-Bruce and Bonham Carter, Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is a lighthearted, cozy mystery that would delight genre fans. Now, to be very fair, the Netflix miniseries is not one of the best screen adaptations of Agatha Christie’s novels, which are better found with shows like Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? or Poirot. However, the miniseries packs plenty of suspense, drama, and rabbit-hole investigation into its three episodes, making it a breezy, satisfying mystery.
6
‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’ (2016–2017)
Created and primarily written by Max Landis, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is a sci-fi mystery comedy series based on the novel series by Douglas Adams. The show follows a down-on-his-luck bellhop, Todd, who indirectly gets connected to a murder at his workplace, encountering the titular eccentric detective and becoming his reluctant sidekick in solving bizarre cases. Elijah Wood and Samuel Barnett play Todd and Dirk, respectively, with Hannah Marks, Fiona Dourif, Jade Eshete, Mpho Koaho, and Dustin Milligan in key roles.
An absurdist sci-fi mystery-comedy, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is a fun and exciting show with interesting themes. It’s a very different interpretation of the original novels, but like them, the series is quite innovative and time-agnostic, with an unpredictable, madcap narrative that demands non-stop watching. One of a handful of shows available on Netflix to get a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score for one of its seasons, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency earned critical acclaim for its writing and narrative style, but remains heavily underrated within its genre.
7
‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ (2023)
Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, particularly his short story, The Fall of the House of Usher is a gothic horror drama created and directed by Mike Flanagan that chronicles the rise and fall of siblings and corrupt entrepreneurs, Madeline and Roderick Usher. When a mysterious woman named Verna reappears in their lives, and Roderick’s children begin to die, the Ushers are forced to come to terms with their doom. Bruce Greenwood and Mary McDonnell star as Roderick and Madeline, with Carla Gugino as Verna. The show also features Carl Lumbly, Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel, Zach Gilford, Mark Hamill, and more in notable roles.
With The Fall of the House of Usher, Mike Flanagan reaffirms his mastery of gothic horror, delivering his best television production yet in this thriller miniseries that reimagines Edgar Allan Poe’s 19th-century American classics. Combining psychological horror, gruesome killings, and supernatural mystery, The Fall of the House of Usher is terrifying in every episode. The show’s well-knit story, suspended tension, remarkable visuals, and impeccable performances make it a horror miniseries masterpiece that is highly binge-worthy.
8
‘Beef’ (2023–Present)
A dark comedy anthology series created by Lee Sung Jin, Beef explores stories involving different characters that share common themes of rage, existential crises, and pressing psychosocial issues of the contemporary world. The first season centers on a road rage incident between a man and a woman that leads to deadly outcomes, while the second season follows a young couple who blackmail an older couple with a compromising video. The show features a new ensemble cast in each season as well, featuring Steven Yeun, Ali Wong, Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, and more.
With each season depicting a new story with a different set of characters, Beef makes for a perfect double feature for a weekend binge. The show is an exceptional social thriller that expertly shifts between black comedy, crime thriller, and personal drama, and its first season earned universal praise for the terrific performances of Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, as well as their fiery chemistry. A second season followed in April 2026. Both seasons are highly incisive and intriguing, going beyond exploring the “what” and diving deeper into the “why” of the human condition, and seeing past the chaos of its characters to the pathos within.

The Most Extra Met Gala Beauty Looks of All Time: Photos
The Met Gala is famously known as the Super Bowl of fashion. Why? Well, it’s one of the most exclusive (and stylish) social events in the world, and celebrities always go all out for the occasion on the red carpet.
Like the championship game, though, sometimes stars and their glam squads surprise Us with the unexpected — be it a never-before-seen hairstyle or a wildly unpredictable eye makeup.
Take Nicole Richie, for example. She commanded attention with gray-white hair at the 2013 soirée to fit the event’s “Punk: Chaos to Couture” theme.
Through the years, Met Gala beauty has gotten better and bolder. At the 2019 celebration, Billy Porter nailed the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme by transforming into what he said was an “Egyptian Sun God.”
In 2024, Doja Cat wowed fans with glitter teardrops streaming down her face for “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

Brenda Song Wore the Adidas Sneakers That Are Perfect for Petites
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
Whether or not you’re including Brenda Song on your Disney Mount Rushmore doesn’t discount the fact that she’s a millennial icon — and fashion one, too. Long before she ever uttered the word “PRNDL” on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, the actress rocked the cool-girl outfits of our Y2K dreams in Get a Clue and Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior. In 2026, her style is still just as enviable. The mom of two was spotted wearing stylish Adidas sneakers while visiting Legoland with her partner, Macaulay Culkin. Aside from the sneakers’ budget-friendly price tag, her footwear choice is extra flattering for petites.
Song is just 5’2″, so while her celebrity tall-girl counterparts (including Taylor Swift and Katie Holmes) are loving Adidas Sambas, the Running Point star went with the platformed alternative, the Adidas Sambae. The white and black-striped shoe is still just as versatile and sleek as the OG, but its 1 1/4″ rubber sole adds a subtle height boost, which is a welcome detail for those on the shorter side.
Get the Adidas Sambae Sneaker for $110 at Nordstrom!
The rest of the shoe still feels completely classic — it’s made of leather, laces up and features that famous ‘T-toe’ design that makes the Samba a hit. You also don’t have to settle for Song’s color choice, since the same style comes in black with white stripes as well as embellished and vibrant varieties, allowing you to find something that suits you best.
What doesn’t change, however, are all the glowing reviews, which show that these kicks are more than just a celeb-approved piece.
“Really cute and more comfortable than I expected!” one person admitted. “A quality shoe that seems like it will hold up for a very long time.”
Others did note that sizing runs big (it’s technically unisex, so double-check before ordering!), but overall, they said they loved the look and how easy the shoes were to style.
“Super cute,” another shopper wrote. “I wear an 8 (9-5/8” insole) but knew these ran a whole size big, so I got the 7 and fit is great. Versatile everyday shoe. Even better if you’re a short girl like me!”
Song went casual for her outing, pairing the sneakers with a simple white tank and green striped boxer shorts (a combo we’re totally recreating this summer). However, the platform pick is the perfect choice for elongating your legs in a midi dress or styling with jeans — especially if they’re kinda long and you forgot to visit the tailor.
Whether you’ve been lusting after Song’s looks for longer than you’d care to admit or are only now discovering her impeccable style, one thing’s for sure: she’s got the scoop on winning options for those under 5’3″. Grab her petite-approved sneakers now, and keep your eye peeled for her next short-girl-friendly outfit!

Beyoncé Fuels Act III Release Anticipation With Throwback Clip
Anticipation for Beyoncé‘s new album from her trilogy is at an all-time high after the songstress dropped a major tease.
After releasing “Renaissance” in 2022 and “Cowboy Carter” in 2024, the music icon is predicted to drop her final act this year, which is rumored to be rock-inspired.
Although Beyoncé has remained quiet about the project, fans continue to draw inferences from her social media posts, perceiving them as clues.
Queen B had the Beyhive buzzing earlier this week when eagle-eyed fans noticed major changes on her website Beyonce.com.
The merchandise page for “Cowboy Carter” has now been removed, meaning fans can no longer shop for items. However, that wasn’t all.
In the segment of the website celebrating the 25th anniversary of Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor” album, the singer dropped what many perceived as an Easter egg.
Alongside throwback photos of her with fellow bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, Beyoncé included a clip of Stevie Nicks joining the girls in an interview. Fans may recall that the Fleetwood Mac singer featured in the music video for Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious.”
In the throwback interview, Nicks surprised the then-young singers, who gushed about how the legend canceled some appointments to shoot the music video.
Fans Spiral With Expectations That Beyoncé‘s New Album Is On The Way

As expected, it didn’t take long for the Beyhive to come up with theories on what the clip represents.
“Something’s definitely brewing… Beyoncé linking back to Destiny’s Child and Stevie Nicks isn’t random. New era loading?” one fan suggested.
Another similar comment read, “Removing the CC merch and posting Stevie Nicks? The Act III Rock era is officially loading. She’s reminding us about that Edge of Seventeen sample for a reason.”
Some took it as an indication that Nicks would be featured on the upcoming album. “Imagine how full circle it would be if Stevie makes an appearance on Act 3. I’ll collapse??” this fan wished.
This user declared, “Folks? There’s nowhere left to run from BEYONCÉ anymore. Act III is really starting.”

This isn’t the first time Beyoncé has sent fans spiraling into conspiracy theories with her social media uploads.
Just days ago, The Blast reported that the “Drunk In Love” singer marked the 10th anniversary of the “Lemonade” album.
Taking to Instagram to commemorate one of her most prestigious albums, the singer uploaded photos of her holding three lemons and a bottle of her whisky brand, Sir Davis. In the caption, she gushed about her gratitude for the decade milestone.
As some fans reminisced on the beloved album, others believed the post was saying much more. “3 LEMONS … ACT 3,” a comment read, while another stated, “10 years of Lemonade in the year of ACT III.”
Beyoncé’s Team Shut Down Act III Rumors

Despite fans reading so much meaning into social media, Beyoncé’s team had to recently address some speculations.
Reports recently surfaced that the rollout of Act III would begin at the 2026 Met Gala, where the “Countdown” singer serves as co-chair alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour. It was also alleged that the album has “two big features” and will have a summer release.
Queen B’s publicist, however, immediately shut down the claims. As reported by Complex, Yvette Noel-Schure took to X to write, “This is unequivocally false!!”
Beyoncé Became A Billionaire Off Her Last Album

As fans eagerly await Queen B’s new era, it is hard to forget the immense success of her eighth studio album, “Cowboy Carter.”
Not only did the country-inspired project earn her the prestigious Album of the Year award at the 2025 Grammys, but it also pushed Beyoncé into the billionaire’s club.
According to The Blast, two months after concluding the “Cowboy Carter” tour, which was the highest-grossing tour of 2025, Forbes certified the Texas native as an official billionaire.
The singer’s fifth all-stadium tour earned a total of $407.6 million at the box office with a whopping 1.6 million tickets sold. In addition, the tour also became the highest-grossing country tour of all time.
With her new billionaire title, Beyoncé joined the likes of her husband, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springstreen.
