In a blog post on Wednesday, the company said Sora is capable of generating videos up to 60 seconds in length from text instructions, with the ability to serve up scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and detailed background details.
“The model understands not only what the user has asked for in the prompt, but also how those things exist in the physical world,” the blog post said.
OpenAI said it intends to train the AI models so it can “help people solve problems that require real-world interaction.”
This is the latest effort from the company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT, which continues to push the generative AI movement forward. Although “multi-modal models” are not new and text-to-video models already exist, what sets this apart is the length and accuracy that OpenAI claims Sora to have, according to Reece Hayden, a senior analyst at market research firm ABI Research.
Hayden said these types of AI models could have a big impact on digital entertainment markets with new personalized content being streamed across channels.
“One obvious use case is within TV; creating short scenes to support narratives,” Hayden said. “The model is still limited though, but it shows the direction of the market.”
At the same time, OpenAI said Sora is still a work in progress with clear “weaknesses,” particularly when it comes to spatial details of a prompt – mixing up left and right – and cause and effect. It gave the example of creating a video of someone taking a bite out of a cookie but it not having a bite mark right after.
For now, OpenAI’s messaging remains focused on safety. The company said it plans to work with a team of experts to test the latest model and look closely at various areas including misinformation, hateful content and bias. The company said it is also building tools to help detect misleading information.
Sora will first be made available to cybersecurity professors, called “red teamers,” who can assess the product for harms or risks. It is also granting access to a number of visual artists, designers and filmmakers to collect feedback on how creative professionals could use it.
The latest update comes as OpenAI continues to advance ChatGPT.
Earlier this week, the company said it is testing a feature in which users can control ChatGPT’s memory, allowing them to ask the platform to remember chats to make future conversations more personalized or tell it to forget what was previously discussed.https://yangterbaik.com/
Digital renderings of the design, shared exclusively with CNN by architects Büro Ole Scheeren, show four towers spiraling out from an open central space dubbed the “Vortex Incubator.” The landmark structure will become the focal point of an ambitious — and largely car-free — “future city” being built by Tencent, owner of messaging services WeChat and QQ, in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.
Speaking to CNN via video call, the architecture firm’s founder, Ole Scheeren, said his building’s “swirling vortex geometry” will create an “ecosystem where everything comes together, where work merges into a very collaborative interactive environment.”

The German architect’s vision was chosen by Tencent, China’s most valuable publicly traded company, following an international design competition.
The lower floors of the scheme, which is named Tencent Helix, connect the office towers via a large lobby and communal educational, recreational, sports and fitness facilities, including basketball, tennis and badminton courts. At ground level, restaurants and shops will erode the distinction between public and private space
This layout means that the building “doesn’t have a front and a back,” said Scheeren, who is known for co-designing Beijing’s famous CCTV Headquarters. He added that the structure’s appearance will vary depending on which angle it is viewed from: “It remains very recognizable, but it changes quite a lot in a subtle way.”
City within in a city
First unveiled by Tencent in 2020, the wider neighborhood — previously known as “Net City” — is being built on a stretch of reclaimed land jutting out into the Pearl River estuary. It will connect to the rest of Shenzhen via ferries and the city’s subway system. (And although the district is “predominantly car free,” Scheeren said, employees will be able to access Tencent’s headquarters via road bridges linking to parking spaces and drop-off points.)
The technology firm’s headquarters will be one of dozens of structures, including schools and public amenities, on the site. While some of the buildings are already under construction, others have not yet had their designs unveiled.
An aerial view of the plan shows pedestrian pathways spiraling out into the surrounding neighborhood.
To create a sense of cohesion between the new headquarters and its surroundings, Scheeren’s helix motif — which he said evoked galaxies and bands of cloud around the eye of a storm — will extend into a network of pedestrian pathways spiraling out from the centerpiece structure. The new master plan also includes an undulating path that Scheeren said may look “something like a High Line 2.0.”
“I found a way, without changing any of the existing buildings, to strategically engage them through a pedestrian network and landscaping — and, in a way, to use the public space as a means to tie the whole master plan together,” he added.
Reimagining ‘gimmicky’ corporate campuses
The German architect stressed that incorporating nature into his design would offer “connection to outdoor space … but at the same time remain a really functional workspace.”
The building will be orientated to benefit from natural ventilation, while a “sponge city” concept — whereby rain is absorbed or captured to protect against storm surges or for use in irrigation — will be employed to reduce water waste.
Despite Tencent Helix’s huge floor area, its relatively compact shape sets it apart from many sprawling US tech campuses, which Scheeren described as being “suburban” in design. “I wanted to create something that is more urban,” he said.
The architect added that corporate campuses has become “gimmicky,” and that he favored offices that “recognize you as a serious worker and not somebody who’s just hanging around on a beanbag the entire day.”
“The office is no longer just a cubicle — but it’s also not a children’s playground,” he said, adding that “to create environments that implicitly tell you can never leave is also a highly problematic approach.”
Tencent Helix is expected to open in time for the technology firm’s 30th anniversary in 2028 and will replace the company’s main Shenzhen office as its global headquarters.https://yangterbaik.com/
Taking control of the farmland she was raised on and childhood memories of growing up off-the-grid deeply influenced her approach to fashion design: slow, small and with an emphasis on creating handcrafted items. Many of Hearst’s leather bags, for example, are made to order or produced in small batches.
Based in New York for many years, Hearst now splits her time between the US and France, designing collections for both Chloé and her namesake brand. And while there are clear distinctions between the two labels, her design ethos remains consistent.
During an interview at the Chloé showroom in Paris, just days before she was due to sit on a COP26 panel alongside artist Dustin Yellin and Eleven Madison Park chef Daniel Humm, the designer spoke openly – and with urgency – about fashion’s role in turning the climate crisis into what she called “climate success.”
“I grew up on a farm,” she said. “Everything gets used on a farm, so that’s where I learned utilitarian skills for sustainability.
“We live in a (world) that is overproducing things that we don’t need,” she said, explaining that her three-point approach to design looks at fossil fuels, overconsumption and the need to rehabilitate the environment. “What is this product doing to these three points?” is among the questions she asks when creating a new garment or accessory, she said. “Is it saving water? Is it using less fossil fuels? Can we transport it by boat (instead of plane)?”
This ethos is, in part, why her clothes are very expensive: A handmade Gabriela Hearst cashmere poncho is priced at over $3,000 and a leather skirt (already out of stock on the Chloé website) costs $5,895. The price tags might seem excessive, even for luxury fashion, but Hearst said she wants clients to think before they buy. She wants her customers to see her designs as family heirlooms or at least lifetime investments. If seen in that way, a pair of boots priced at over $1,500, for instance, can be viewed as costing a more palatable $60 a year if worn for 25 years.
At the Met Gala in September 2021, Hearst dressed actress Gillian Anderson in Chloé.
“I always tell my clients, ‘Do not buy a lot, buy what you need, what you want, what you want to pass down.’” It’s a mindset she learned from her mother, whose clothes, made by the family tailor, were meant to last a lifetime.
Hearst was drawn to Chloé because it has an aesthetic she understood. “It was natural to my vocabulary,” she said, joking that the job had to go to her because she shares a name with the label’s founder, Gaby Aghion.
On a more serious note, the designer said she was motivated by the opportunity to implement the research and development she and her team at Gabriela Hearst had been carrying out over the years. Could she scale it up at the larger, more established house, she wondered? The answer appears to be: yes.
Hearst has created three collections for Chloé since taking the creative reins last year. Her first designs were produced in two months, an extremely tight turnaround. The Autumn-Winter 2021 collection, which was shown in March this year, included a collaboration with Sheltersuit Foundation, a non-profit organization that makes outerwear for homeless people. Transforming from a duffel bag to a waterproof jacket then to sleeping bag in a few zips, the charity’s namesake Sheltersuits are made from recycled and deadstock materials. Hearst invited founder Bas Trimmer to the house’s atelier to make a backpack using a similar ethos and some of Chloé’s deadstock materials. The label then announced that for each backpack sold, it would make two sheltersuits for those in need.
As for the rest of the collection, Chloé issued a statement claiming that it “can be considered to have four times more lower impact materials compared to last year.” Polyester and viscose were eliminated, recycled or reused, the denim was organic and vintage bags were repurposed. “New isn’t always better,” read a statement from Hearst, who is simply referred to as “Gabi” in press materials.
Gabriela Hearst cheers in victory after her latest show for Chloé during Paris Fashion Week, where almost 60% of the materials used were low-impact.
Her third and most recent collection for the label came with an announcement that more items than ever before would be handmade by independent artisans under a new sub brand, Chloé Craft.
“While Chloé Craft is innately low impact, the challenge is to find ways of making the items produced in larger quantities more eco-conscious,” read a statement which also detailed how staples such as the Tote bag and Nama sneakers (which sell at comparatively higher quantities) had been improved to use lower impact materials.
The outdoor show was staged along the Seine river in Paris, and guest’s seats were made of bricks by a French organization called Les Bâtisseuses (The Builders), which teaches ecological construction skills to women refugees.
Hearst stands out in an industry rife with tokenism and “greenwashing.” Her motivations run deep and they are personal. Regardless of her position in the fashion industry, she’s coming at the issue as “a human being, as a mother that is worried about my children and other people’s children,” she said.
Several years ago, a trip with a British charity, Save the Children, to northeast Kenya gave Hearst a first-hand view of the human toll of the climate crisis. Severe drought in 2017 had left the people she met desolate. It’s experiences like these, she said, that motivate her to use her platform to take action. “I see too clearly what the outcome is, if we don’t act, and I can’t turn a blind eye to it.”

Last month, Chloé announced it has officially achieved B Corporation status, a rigorous certification process that assesses a business’ social and environmental impact – a first for the luxury fashion industry (though Hearst hopes not the last).
The designer acknowledges that, despite her and her team’s efforts, there is a lot more work to do. But, Hearst said, time is running out and it’s not the moment for perfectionism. “I’m of the belief system that everyone is nervous about doing things perfectly, but… we have to go with ‘good enough.’ You have to be able to say, ‘We’re not perfect, but we’re freaking trying.’
“We’re all trying to find a way to do business in a new economy, and if you’re not trying to do this, you’re going to be left out.”
Days later in Glasgow, Hearst, flanked by Daniel Humm and Dustin Yellin, told a small audience of COP26 delegates, “it will be the artists and scientists that get us out of this, not the politicians.”
Couples are looking for increasingly elaborate ways to pop the question in Paris. The Proposers with The Paris Photographer
Editor’s Note: Sign up for Unlocking the World, CNN Travel’s weekly newsletter. Get the latest news in aviation, food and drink, where to stay and other travel developments.
It’s a special moment, but relatively commonplace in the City of Love where roughly 36,000 visitors arrive each year to pop the question, according to proposal-planning marketplace Proposal Paris.
Rodrigo Mendoza, 33, is one of those people. When he decided to propose to his girlfriend Ciera Rojas in June 2023, the choice of location was easy.
“Before the pandemic, that was my first time visiting Paris,” Mendoza told CNN. “For me, it was an extraordinary city, super romantic … and I said, ‘OK, when I find the chosen one, the right person, I’m going to propose here in Paris.’”
Traveling from New York, Mendoza contacted a photographer beforehand to set up a photoshoot with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop, and popped the question there.
Such romantic gestures appear to be a rising trend after the Covid pandemic, with travelers keen to make up for lost time. Proposal Paris told CNN that it saw a 30% rise in the number of requests received between 2021-2023.
Kiss Me in Paris, an event planner which organized over 450 proposals in 2023, has noticed similar patterns. It reports a 50% increase in proposals planned between 2022 and 2023, and a notable explosion in requests after Covid-19 travel restrictions were lifted in Paris.
So, what is it about the French capital that still entices so many?
“I get the impression that people are looking precisely… to show that they are in Paris, the magic and the romantic environment that the city can provide their proposals,” Diana Sumano, founder of Proposal Paris, told CNN.
From the Eiffel Tower to the Seine River, Paris is filled with globally recognizable locations and monuments where public proposals often take place.
For some, the prospect of having an audience witness such an intimate moment might make the skin crawl, but “there are some people who relish it,” Chantelle-Marie Streete, co-founder of Kiss Me in Paris, told CNN. “They want everybody around to be clapping.”
According to Florence Maillochon, a sociologist at France’s National Centre for Scientific Research specializing in couples and families, the concept of public proposals is “an invention which without a doubt originated in the United States or the United Kingdom.”
Although a recent phenomenon, the public proposal “really took off with the rise of social media, which invites us to display and to dramatize our lives in all areas,” Maillochon added.
When it comes to the appeal of Paris, the influence of popular culture, as well as social media, cannot be underestimated.
A recent study carried out by France’s National Centre of Cinematography and Animated Pictures and French pollsters IFOP found that 1 in 10 tourists surveyed had decided to travel to France after watching a particular film or TV show, with 38% of those citing “Emily in Paris.”
The Eiffel Tower’s the limit
From the Eiffel Tower to the Seine River, Paris is filled with globally recognizable locations and monuments where public proposals often take place.
Planning proposals abroad – particularly public ones – often requires logistical help. A booming proposal-planning industry has consequently emerged in Paris, and no request is considered too extreme.
Daisy Amodio, founder of event planner The Proposers, told CNN that one of her clients wanted his face beamed onto the Eiffel Tower as part of his proposal to his girlfriend. “I called up the Eiffel Tower, I called up the government, I called up everyone in Paris that you could possibly think of… but it was an absolute no … so instead I hired Disneyland Paris just for them,” she said.
Streete is no stranger to an extravagant proposal. From “Mission Impossible”-themed quests to dance flash mobs and fake cinema screenings, she has planned and executed them all. Her company launched in 2013 as a photography company, later expanding into proposal planning as a market for it grew in Paris.
“We put a structure to French companies that caters to foreigners. It was all English-speaking,” Chantelle-Marie of Kiss Me in Paris told CNN. “We’ll take care of everything for you. You want flowers, we sell flowers. You want a musician? We got a musician. Oh, a harpist? Don’t worry about it.”
Companies like Kiss Me in Paris and individual vendors try to provide a memorable experience to couples, bringing to life their wildest dreams and highlighting the charm of the city of love.
For Ciera Rojas, her fiancé Rodrigo Mendoza’s proposal was precisely that.
“Everything in Paris just felt so magical” she said, “I can honestly say that I had a dream proposal. Everything was perfect.”
Mendoza, meanwhile, says he now knows his first impression of the city was right – it really is the place to whip out an engagement ring: “If you’re in love, it is going to make you be even more in love.”https://yangterbaik.com/
“I loved that show so much and they were like, ‘Do you want to be in the series finale?’ and I was like, ‘Of course,’ thinking that I’d show up for, like, half a day,” she said. “I was there for two weeks, and I’m barely in the f—ng show.”
When Meyers wondered whether people on set were “super sad” about the show coming to a close, Johnson remembered the vibes being off.
“They were sad and also there were weird dynamics that had been going on for the last 10 years,”Johnson remembered. “And I’m coming in like, ‘So excited to be here!’ No one wanted to talk to me.”
She added, “I was in the background of all of these scenes, faxing things.”
Meyers joked that he had “recently watched it, and it was some of the most believable faxing I’ve ever seen.”https://yangterbaik.com/
The difference here is that getting to the climb entails a perilous trek across a desolate land mass, made worse by changing conditions brought about due to the climate crisis – an issue Honnold hopes to shed light upon with his post-“Solo” exploits, enlisting glaciologist Heidi Sevestre as part of the team joining him.
Other things have changed since then too, with Honnold becoming a father, to a baby who mercifully has no idea at this point how dad spends his spare time. Honnold also strategizes with two other experienced climbers, Hazel Findlay and Mikey Schaefer, who share his enthusiasm but might not be as cavalier about the dangers associated with this particular climb, which includes having rock fragments rain down on those below.
Alex Honnold on the glacier in “Arctic Ascent With Alex Honnold.”
“Arctic Ascent” again showcases dizzying imagery, incorporating aerial footage of Greenland’s natural wonder while making anyone who would choose to try climbing this summit, a spellchecker’s nightmare called Ingmikortilaq – or for that matter, sleep in a tent suspended high above the ground – seem like they need their heads examined. Notably, the interactions exhibit signs of the stress these endeavors can cause, and discussions about what level of risk is acceptable.
Honnold’s low-key demeanor makes him an unlikely modern-day heir to the flamboyant Evel Knievel’s daredevil legacy, but they still fall roughly within the same basket, which is to say, people who undertake extraordinary challenges for our amusement. (Granted, Honnold was doing this before “Free Solo” dramatically upped his profile, but as an executive producer of this latest project, he’s made the most out of that since.)
“Arctic Ascent” inevitably lacks the sense of discovery that helped propel “Free Solo” to an Oscar; still, anyone who can watch Honnold hanging on to a vertical rock face without having their pulse quicken a little must have the equivalent of glacier-ice water in their veins.https://yangterbaik.com/
Moments later on her official website, the Grammy-winner and Texas-native posted a clip of a new song that sounds like a departure from her most recent dance-centric album “Renaissance,” with a guitar strumming along to a tune about the game Texas hold ‘em.
“Act II” and the date March 29 was listed on her site.
The ad spot, titled “Can’t B Broken,” featured “Veep” actor Tony Hale challenging Beyoncé to break the cellular service company’s 5G capabilities, and she accepted the challenge in glorious fashion.
“It’s Verizon 5G, the network’s crazy powerful,” Hale said, adding, “bet you can’t break that!”
Confidently, Beyoncé retorts, “bet you I can.”
Beyoncé proceeds to go to great lengths to prove Hale wrong.
Can’t B Broken (Extended)
She is seen causing a scene at a lemonade stand in a nod to her hit 2016 album “Lemonade,” introducing a robotic version of herself called “Beyoncé-AI” and even a Beyoncé Barbie, aptly named “Barb-Bey.”
With no luck, she continues her attempts by announcing that she’s “running for Beyoncé of the United States” and attempts to become “the first woman to launch the first rocket for the first performance in space” as she takes off in a space shuttle and performs a routine in zero gravity.
At the very end, the star is heard saying, “Ok, they ready. Drop the new music.”
Waves in the North Atlantic Ocean near Gatklettur, Iceland, March 2020.
A crucial system of ocean currents may already be on course to collapse, according to a new report, with alarming implications for sea level rise and global weather — leading temperatures to plunge dramatically in some regions and rise in others.
The currents carry heat and nutrients to different areas of the globe and play a vital role in keeping the climate of large parts of the Northern Hemisphere relatively mild.
For decades, scientists have been sounding the alarm on the circulation’s stability as climate change warms the ocean and melts ice, disrupting the balance of heat and salt that determines the currents’ strength.
While many scientists believe the AMOC will slow under climate change, and could even grind to a halt, there remains huge uncertainty over when and how fast this could happen. The AMOC has only been monitored continuously since 2004.
Scientists do know — from building a picture of the past using things like ice cores and ocean sediments — the AMOC shut down more than 12,000 years ago following rapid glacier melt.
Now they are scrambling to work out if it could happen again.
This new study provides an “important breakthrough,” said René van Westen, a marine and atmospheric researcher at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands and study co-author.
The scientists used a supercomputer to run complex climate models over a period of three months, simulating a gradual increase of freshwater to the AMOC — representing ice melt as well as rainfall and river runoff, which can dilute the ocean’s salinity and weaken the currents.
As they slowly increased the freshwater in the model, they saw the AMOC gradually weaken until it abruptly collapsed. It’s the first time a collapse has been detectable using these complex models, representing “bad news for the climate system and humanity,” the report says.
What the study doesn’t do, however, is give timeframes for a potential collapse. More research is needed, van Westen told CNN, including models which also mimic climate change impacts, such as increasing levels of planet-heating pollution, which this study did not.
“But we can at least say that we are heading in the direction of the tipping point under climate change,” van Westen said.
The impacts of the AMOC’s collapse could be catastrophic. Some parts of Europe might see temperatures plunge by up to 30 degrees Celsius over a century, the study finds, leading to a completely different climate over the course of just a decade or two.
“No realistic adaptation measures can deal with such rapid temperature changes,” the study authors write.
Countries in the Southern Hemisphere, on the other hand, could see increased warming, while the Amazon’s wet and dry seasons could flip, causing serious disruption to the ecosystem.
The AMOC’s collapse could also cause sea levels to surge by around 1 meter (3.3 feet), van Westen said.
Stefan Rahmstorf, a physical oceanographer at Potsdam University in Germany, who was not involved with the study, said it was “a major advance in AMOC stability science.”
“It confirms that the AMOC has a tipping point beyond which it breaks down if the Northern Atlantic Ocean is diluted with freshwater,” he told CNN.
Previous studies finding the AMOC’s tipping point used much simpler models, he said, giving hope to some scientists that it might not be found under more complex models.
This study crushes those hopes, Rahmstorf said.
Joel Hirschi, associate head of marine systems modeling at the National Oceanography Centre in the UK, said the study was the first to use complex climate models to show the AMOC can flip from “on” to “off” in response to relatively small amounts of freshwater entering the ocean.
But there are reasons to be cautious, he added. Even though the study used a complex model, it still has a low resolution, he said, meaning there could be limitations in representing some parts of the currents.
This study adds to the growing body of evidence that the AMOC may be approaching a tipping point — and that it could even be close.
A 2021 study found that the AMOC was weaker than any other time in the past 1,000 years. And a particularly alarming — and somewhat controversial — report published in July last year, concluded that the AMOC could be on course to collapse potentially as early as 2025.
Yet huge uncertainties remain. Jeffrey Kargel, senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Arizona, said he suspected the theory of a potentially imminent shutdown of the AMOC “will remain somewhat controversial until, one year, we know that it is happening.”
He likened its potential collapse to the “wild gyrations of a stock market that precede a major crash” — it’s nearly impossible to unpick which changes are reversible, and which are a precursor to a disaster.
Modern data shows the AMOC’s strength fluctuates, but there is no observed evidence yet of a decline, Hirschi said. “Whether abrupt changes in the AMOC similar to those seen in the past will occur as our climate continues to warm is an important open question.”
This study is a piece of that puzzle, Rahmstorf said. “(It) adds significantly to the rising concern about an AMOC collapse in the not too distant future,” he said. “We will ignore this risk at our peril.”https://yangterbaik.com/
On Tuesday, Zendaya arrived in Mexico City for the red carpet of “Dune: Part Two” in an outfit that looked like the kind of desert cloak we might see her character Chani wear amid an Arrakis sandstorm.
The Bottega Veneta Fall-Winter 2023 runway look was customized for the starlet with a chic midriff slash — continuing Zendaya’s growing trend of ab-framing outfits — and a full-length hemline.
The customized Bottega Veneta look featured an exposed midriff and longer skirt.
It’s the latest in a budding line of sci-fi themed press tour looks turned out by the actor and her longtime stylist Law Roach. During the Fendi show at Haute Couture Week in Paris last month, Zendaya was spotted in a meticulously carved V-shape fringe that smacked of the camp, quirky 20th century retro futurism that once defined our vision of tomorrow. Paired with muted brows and a bold lip, the “Dune” co-star’s bangs evoked the severity of the Star Trek officer Mr Spock.
Earlier in the week, while sitting front-row at the Schiaparelli couture show, Zendaya was seen in a custom gown from the label’s new season. With an arched satin train that from afar looked like a horses’ tail, the all-black ensemble was alien, villainous and endlessly interesting. Black horse-braid knots ran up and down her arms like the suckers of a cephalopod, or spikes of armor.
“The result (is a) profile both familiar and not,” wrote creative director Daniel Roseberry in the show notes. “Part human, part something else.”
Like an alien cephalopod, Zendaya’s gown included what looked like a silhouette of suckers.
Over the decades, red carpet dress codes have evolved from the über casual, laissez-faire attitudes of the 1990s (remember when Drew Barrymore wore jeans and a cardigan to the premiere of “Guilty by Suspicion” in 1991?) to arenas of pomp, pageantry and pressurized best dressed lists. Now, we may be entering a new phase. From Margot Robbie’s historically accurate Barbie press tour looks, or D.C. catwoman Zoë Kravitz’s subtle sartorial feline nods, to the shimmering, mer-glamor of Halle Bailey while promoting “The Little Mermaid,” glitzy premieres have become another expertly engineered marketing opportunity.
Zendaya’s otherworldly outfit was topped off with striking set of V-shaped bangs.
During the international premiere of “Dune” in 2021 — the same year she became the youngest person to receive the CFDA’s “Fashion Icon” award — Zendaya made headlines with a sand-colored, wet-look leather Balmain gown and a serpent Bulgari choker with 93-carat, cabochon-cut Colombian emerald.
There’s no coincidence here: The film’s aesthetic is a guiding principle for the pair, with Zendaya taking it upon herself to point out designers whose work remind her of that world. “All her clothes (on the press tour) were inspired by the movie,” Roach told CNN in 2022. “When (the Balmain) collection walked, she just said ‘This is very Dune,’ and I reached out to Olivier and his team.”
Whether this new dawn of red carpet dressing helps or hinders creative expression remains to be seen. Stars are, at least for now, relieved from the duty of looking bang on trend — and even encouraged to do what they do best: Embody someone else. But like a badly-timed themed party, the wrong costume can feel suffocating. Zendaya, however, seems to inhabit the wardrobe of a high-fashion, desert-bound alien-hybrid just fine.https://yangterbaik.com/
“‘Mimi’ is a nickname that my friends and loved ones call me, so I wanted to think about that and make it representative of where I’m at as an artist,” she said. “It was like, ‘OK, this is the fun side, the real me, and not the image and the baggage that comes with the whole ‘Mariah Carey’ thing.’ It’s a reflection of this being a celebratory moment in my life.”
This residency is Carey’s third in Las Vegas.
She brought “#1 to Infinity” to The Colosseum at Ceasars Palace in 2015, which was a celebration of her numerous No. 1 singles. That show was followed by “The Butterfly Returns” residency in 2018.
The superstar singer and Live Nation Las Vegas will be donating $1 of every ticket purchased to The Fresh Air Fund’s Camp Mariah, according to a press release for the show.https://yangterbaik.com/
