PROOF THAT TYRA BANKS CAN MAKE FASHION MISTAKES

It’s a comeback – Tyra Banks is in New York happily promoting her Sports Illustrated 2019 swimsuit cover – she last appeared on the magazine cover in the late 90’s. Tyra retired from modeling in 2005 to become a TV mogul, hosting the incredibly popular America’s Next Top Model, now in its 18th season. Today she made TV appearances with her magazine wearing THIS. We love the color, but that stiff ridged neckline and puffy top is making her look several sizes larger than she hopefully is. Even models need advice sometimes.

SERENA WILLIAMS MARRIED THE RIGHT GUY

After last night’s glamorous appearance at the Met Gala, Serena Williams spent the day in Manhattan with her doting husband Alexis Ohanian and their cute 20 month old daughter Alexis Jr. They did a little shopping and took a walk in Central park. Thanks in part to her helpful husband, Serena has been able to actively pursue her tennis career without ever spending a full day away from their little girl.

NAOMI CAMPBELL: STILL SIZZLING THE DAY AFTER

While a lot of New York celebs are nursing hangovers today, sleeping late, or racing to the airport, Naomi Campbell is up bright and early tending to business. She got a lot of attention last night at the Met Gala, not just for her glamorous attire, but also because she had a man next to her fanning her all evening. An assistant, we presume. Naomi has a checkered history with assistants. She does look fresh and fabulous today in her carwash skirt and sneakers.

IS THE MET GALA SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL?

Are we crazy or is the Met Gala turning into a vulgar display of self-indulgence? Each costume seems to be bigger, longer, more elaborate and MORE EXPENSIVE ! How LONG can a train be? How many exquisite feathers can be hand sewn onto a gown? If you attempt to calculate the cost of most decadent gowns, the result is financially STAGGERING. Besides being difficult to manage up the stairway entrance to the Met, how awkward must these get-ups be while trying to socialize at the party? Ezra Miller had a clever idea – he held an amazing mask of his own face, but even HE had a mile long train. Model Cara Delevingne, above, had fun without screaming for attention – she painted stripes on her legs to match her dress. How did this fun fashion event turn into a “look at me- I spent more money than you did!” contest?

FAST & FURIOUS STAR LUDACRIS COULDN’T HELP LOOKING GOOD AT JOHN SINGLETON FUNERAL

The sad event of John Singleton’s funeral today was made slightly more bearable by the appearance of Ludacris. We don’t get to see The Fast and the Furious star dressed up all that often and he looks quite handsome. John Singleton directed Ludacris in 2 Fast 2 Furious in 2003. We didn’t realize that Ludacris (Christopher Bridges) studied music management at Georgia State University before he became a successful rapper. He founded The Ludacris Foundation in 2002 to inspire youth to realize the importance of education.

HOLD ON TIGHT- LADY GAGA HAS BIG PLANS FOR THE MET GALA

Being single never stopped Lady Gaga from having a good time – in fact, it brings out her eccentricity. This is the outfit she wore to the dinner BEFORE the Met Gala Monday night. Apparently she wants everybody to get worked up, imagining what she’ll wear to the fashion extravaganza where there’s an overload of stylish competition. Notice her tiny handbag – surely she has a handsome security guard carrying her essentials…

RACHEL BROSNAHAN’S HUSBAND HAS NO PROBLEM WEARING A DRESS

New York, NY - Celebrity guests on the red carpet at the 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards New York at New York Hilton Midtown on May 04, 2019 in New York City Pictured: Rachel Brosnahan BACKGRID USA 4 MAY 2019 BYLINE MUST READ: MediaPunch / BACKGRID USA: +1 310 798 9111 / usasales@backgrid.com UK: +44 208 344 2007 / uksales@backgrid.com *UK Clients - Pictures Containing Children Please Pixelate Face Prior To Publication*

Rachel Brosnahan’s husband really got into the spirit of the GLAAD Media Awards. The Marvelous Mrs Maisel star looks a bit doubtful, but hubby looks delighted with himself in the red chiffon gown he wore under his evening jacket. Rachel is an advocate for the LGBTQ community and GLAAD recognizes inclusive members of the media. We didn’t realize that Rachel’s husband, actor Jason Ralph, had such a sense of humor about himself that he can enjoy wearing a dress. It’s nice to see a guy not obsessed with his masculinity.

ANOTHER VIDEO FOR PARIS HILTON?

We’re talking music videos here – and Paris Hilton is at it again. Apparently she’s always wanted to be a pop star – did you know she’s recorded numerous songs and filmed nearly a dozen videos in the last twelve years? Apparently European investors thought they could make her a star, but Paris has that “little girl” whispery voice…only her sex video was a genuine hit. Today she was filming a new video in Los Angeles – and she asked plenty of friends – including Kim Kardashian, to appear in it.
