“Dancing With the Stars” is one of the longest-running celebrity reality TV competitions, with 30 seasons under its belt.
While the ABC show is known for its elaborate dance routines and for casting a wide range of celebrities across film, TV, music and sports, this recent season — with its many themed weeks — has especially resonated with viewers for its memorable costumes.
“We’re definitely taking it a little bit out of the ballroom world and into certain music genres depending on the theme,” said Daniela Gschwendtner, who designs the contestants’ costumes alongside Steven Lee. “We definitely have a different vibe now in the show with the costumes by having these themes, so it’s a bit different than what we used to do in the past with more traditional ballroom looks.”
This season, which is hosted by Tyra Banks, has incorporated a range of themes, including Disney, Britney Spears, “Grease,” Queen, horror night and Janet Jackson, among others, and has cast stars such as YouTube star JoJo Siwa, Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, former NBA player Iman Shumpert, “Spice Girls” member Melanie C, TV host Amanda Kloots, influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli, Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby and others.

Mary Lawless Lee is looking to motherhood for her latest business venture.
The influencer, who is behind the Happily Grey website, brand and Nashville store and a mother of two, launched her newest venture this week called Nēmah, a skin care brand focusing on pregnant mothers. The brand has been in the works for two years and launched with two products: a restorative scar treatment for $28 and a revitalizing stretch mark cream for $34. Lee and her husband Madison Lee cofounded the brand.
“A big part of the inspiration behind this is the conversations I’ve had in the last two years with my readers about what they’re using,” Lee said. “Hearing from them and talking to them about their journeys like with IVF and miscarriages and all of these different paths to becoming a mom is definitely something we want to do a good job at highlighting.”
Lee stated the products were finalized a year ago, but she waited to launch the brand in order to develop the community aspect of Nēmah, which as a mother was a critical component for her to offer along with the products.
Nēmah’s website offers a Journal tab where customers can read entries from actual mothers from

The second season of “Emily in Paris” is coming very soon.
On Thursday, Netflix released another trailer of the upcoming second season of its popular comedy series, showing Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, embarking on more dramatic and exciting adventures. The clip starts off with Emily struggling to tell her friend Camille about what happened between Gabriel and her.
Then the trailer shows snippets of Emily talking about what happened and feeling guilty while enjoying her time in Paris as she attends fashion shows and parties. As Emily explains to her tough-as-nails boss Sylvie about her life somewhat unraveling, Sylvie simply responds, “Emily, you’re getting more French by the day.”
The clip shows Emily’s two current love interests in Antoine and Gabriel, while also revealing she will meet someone new.
The trailer ends with Sylvie saying, “If you’re going to do Paris for one year, for God’s sake, do it right.”

“She’s back for amour and coming in HAUTE! Emily in Paris launches 12/22 only on Netflix,” the streaming service captioned its post on Instagram.
In September, Netflix revealed the show’s second season will have a premiere date of Dec. 22.
Starring alongside Collins, Ashley Park, Camille Razat, Lucas Bravo, William Abadie, Bruno Gouery, Samuel Arnold

PARIS — Jeanne Damas is no stranger to labels — “It” girl, influencer and entrepreneur are just a few — but there’s one she’d gladly get rid of: poster child for French Girl Style.
As she celebrates the fifth anniversary of her clothing label Rouje with a new book, Damas has her sights set well beyond her country’s borders, with plans to open new stores, including her first permanent U.S. location, and to rebrand and expand her beauty offering.
And while she embodies the image of the Parisienne, with her red pout and vintage-inspired style, that image is starting to feel a little reductive as Damas, who gave birth to her first child late last year, prepares to turn 30 in March.
“The French Girl Style thing is annoying, and this is where my position is a little delicate, because the press has always labeled me that way, so I’m seen to some extent as the representative of that,” she told WWD.
A savvy social media presence with 1.5 million followers on Instagram, she’s clearly aware of the recent online backlash against the myth of French Girl Style from critics who say it does not reflect the diversity of the country’s population.
When she was

Iman is paying homage to her marriage to the late David Bowie with her debut fragrance, called Love Memoir.
The supermodel is leveraging her cherished memories from her nearly three decades with the music icon for the scent, which takes inspiration from Bowie as well as her global travels and her time sheltering in place at her upstate New York country home.
“I definitely created [the fragrance] for myself in hoping to inspire people to celebrate memories,” Iman said. “I’m 66, so what was really clear to me is that at the end of our days the most important thing and the most cherished thing that we hold on and will sustain us through the rest of our lives is our memories that we have shared with our loved ones. [The fragrance] was really a tribute to my love — my eternal love and devotion to my husband.”
Iman paid homage to Bowie by incorporating a woodsy vetiver into Love Memoir. The supermodel stated that Tom Ford Noir Extreme, a woodsy fragrance, was Bowie’s favorite — and the scent that she has worn every day since his death in 2016. She wanted to honor her late husband by incorporating the scent into her

Following the deaths of 10 people at the Astroworld Festival, Travis Scott’s ties to sponsors and partners appear to be tenuous.
It was revealed this week that nine-year-old Ezra Blount, who was trampled at the Nov. 5 event in Houston, is the latest death from the festival. Hundreds were injured during Scott’s performance before an audience of 50,000 people, due to a crowd surge. During a press briefing last week, Houston Police chief Troy Finner noted that merchandise tents were “a big challenge. Very sought-after” merchandise sent some of the “kids rushing toward that, breaking down barriers.”
While the Houston Police Department is conducting a criminal investigation and dozens of lawsuits have been filed against Scott, Nike Inc. announced Tuesday that it has postponed the release of its latest sneaker collaboration with Scott.
A spokesperson for Scott and his Cactus Jack Foundation declined comment Tuesday afternoon.
Nike declined further comment Tuesday beyond the statement on its Snkrs app, which read: “Out of respect for everyone impacted by the tragic events at the Astroworld Festival, we are postponing the launch of the Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack.” Nike has had no further comment.
The sportswear giant and the “Astroworld” rapper are frequent collaborators and have

Naomi Osaka is now part of Victoria’s Secret. 
The professional tennis player and four-time Grand Slam winner is the latest in a string of high-profile figures to join Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective, an initiative that includes women from diverse backgrounds who share their stories by way of collaborations, business partnerships and cause-related campaigns. 
“After learning and understanding about VS’s vision for the Collective, I was inspired to join these amazing women,” Osaka told WWD exclusively. “I remember going into [Victoria’s Secret] stores when I was a kid and wondering why none of the women on the wall looked like me. Now, as a collective, we can inspire the next generation from all different backgrounds, cultures and sizes. That represents such progress to me.”
