Selena Gomez stole the spotlight at the 2025 SAG Awards, turning heads with her stunning look — and a noticeably slimmer figure.

Gracing the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the 32-year-old actress exuded Old Hollywood glamour. Netizens admired her timeless fashion, but her visible transformation fueled a flurry of online reactions.

Gomez wore a deep navy blue off-the-shoulder gown with a structured bodice, a deep V-neckline, and a thigh-high slit, perfectly showcasing her refined style and leaner frame. She completed the look with black strappy heels and shimmering statement rings, adding a modern twist to the classic silhouette.

Her dark bob, styled sleek and parted down the middle, framed her face, while bold red lipstick and soft eye makeup sealed the Old Hollywood aesthetic. Her radiant smile and confident posture made her one of the evening’s undeniable standouts.

Online users didn’t hold back their thoughts. “She’s lost a ton of weight!” one user exclaimed. Another added, “Yass skinny girl.” A third chimed in, “she dropped POUNDS wow, looks good, ozempic or not (everyone stop hating 😬) [sic].”

While some speculated about her weight loss, many simply acknowledged Selena Gomez’s appearance, noting that she seemed confident and appeared to be enjoying the occasion.

While her recognition was a standout moment, the former Vice President’s affectionate exchange with Douglas Emhoff and her stunning evening attire also captured widespread attention.

On February 22, 2025, Kamala Harris attended the NAACP Image Awards alongside her husband, Doug Emhoff, at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

The Vice President was presented with the prestigious Chairman’s Award, an honor recognizing individuals who demonstrate outstanding public service and social justice advocacy.

In addition to the recognition, Harris turned heads with her stylish look and affectionate display with Emhoff, as the couple shared a kiss on the red carpet. Their moment of love and support quickly became a highlight of the evening, drawing admiration from fans.

“This is the best!!!!! So adorable,” one social media user shared. “Oh Kamala is GLOWING. Doug kinda serving face too? What a handsome couple,” another added while a third typed, “They never left the honeymoon phase my shaylaaa.”

Another person wrote, “The best couple ever.” Another social media user shared, “Awe they look in love and he’s so proud of her.” “Classy couple,” one social media user commented. “Who wears the matching suits best? I say Dougie,” another person commented.

However, not everyone had positive things to say, as one person shared, “Enough with the boxy, shapeless, masculine dress jackets. Structured jackets would look much more flattering & feminine ❤️.”

Another person remarked in part,” How cute a one second peck on the lips and she moved away quick.” Another person wrote, “The length of the pants 😮.”

For the occasion, Harris wore a sophisticated black evening suit by designer LaQuan Smith. The tailored ensemble featured a sleek, modern silhouette, exuding confidence and elegance.

Smith, who shared the look on Instagram, described it as “a modern take on classic evening suiting, drawing inspiration from my Fall 25 collection.”

Expressing his gratitude, he added, “Dressing VP Harris for this moment is incredibly meaningful. The NAACP Image Awards celebrates Black excellence, achievement, and impact, and to see her being honored is truly inspiring.”

This is not the first time netizens have swooned over Harris and Emhoff’s love. January 23, 2025, Harris and Emhoff were spotted at 99 Ranch Market Asian Grocery store in Westwood, California.

The widely discussed outing comes months after Harris gave Emhoff a sweet shoutout during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August 2024.

Dressed casually for their low-key outing, Harris and Emhoff appeared relaxed as they navigated the aisles of the grocery store. The former VP wore a denim button-up shirt over a black top. She paired this with black pants and a matching baseball cap.

Gold hoop earrings and a delicate necklace added a touch of elegance to her effortlessly chic look. Emhoff complemented Harris’ relaxed style in a dark polo shirt and khaki pants.

Inside the store, Harris was all smiles, appearing at ease in her return to civilian life. At one point, Emhoff acknowledged onlookers with a friendly wave. After completing their shopping, the couple was spotted carrying plastic bags as they exited the store.

As photos and videos of Harris and Emhoff’s grocery store visit circulated online, social media users were quick to share their thoughts on the couple’s outing.

Many were enamored with their seemingly effortless connection, with one fan gushing, “They are so in love. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏾,” while another praised, “A real marriage ❤️.” A fellow fan chimed in with, “We miss you Dug [sic] and dear Kamala❤️👏.”

Another admirer expressed, “They look so natural.” “she [sic] is so relatable,” added someone else, referencing Harris.

Meanwhile, a commenter observed, “I love how husband waves at public eye when video at them [sic].” Similarly, another noted, “Im [sic] sure they had no idea the cameras would be there.”

Taken aback by Harris and Emhoff’s transition from political office to everyday routines, a netizen marveled, “From White House to Whole Foods in 4 days, that’s crazy.”

Meanwhile, some simply appreciated the glimpse into their daily lives, with one person sharing, “I❤️this. My husband always shops with me to [sic].”

Harris and Emhoff’s widely discussed grocery outing comes just months after the couple shared a heartwarming exchange on a much grander stage—the DNC in August 2024. During the event, where Harris formally accepted the Democratic presidential nomination, she took a moment to acknowledge her husband in front of a cheering crowd.

With a radiant smile, Harris playfully tried to settle the excitement. “Ok, let’s get to business, let’s get to business! Alright,” she said, her joy evident.

Then, turning her focus to Emhoff, she swooned, “So, let me start by thanking my most incredible husband, Doug, for being an incredible partner to me, an incredible father to Cole and Ella, and happy anniversary, Dougie. I love you so very much.”

The sweet moment was made even more touching when Emhoff, visibly moved, looked at his wife with pure adoration before blowing her a kiss.

Just as Harris took a moment to publicly honor her husband at the DNC, Emhoff did the same years earlier in 2020, marking their anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post. In the photograph, Harris and Emhoff can be seen locked in a passionate kiss, while standing in an opulent wedding hall.

Harris, dressed in a delicate white gown with sheer sleeves, leans into Emhoff, her arms wrapped around his shoulders.

Alongside the throwback photo from their wedding day, Emhoff penned a touching tribute to his wife. “Dearest Kamala: here’s to us, our family, friends and our beautiful life together. Wouldn’t change a thing. Happy Anniversary! Love, D,” wrote the doting husband, capturing the deep affection they have shared since the beginning of their marriage.

Beyond their public appearances and heartwarming social media tributes, Harris and Emhoff have spoken about their relationship in past interviews.

Speaking to People in 2023, the couple shared an intimate glimpse into their life together, emphasizing how they prioritize each other at the start and end of each day, despite their demanding careers.

“We try to approach those moments as husband and wife, not vice president and second gentleman,” explained Emhoff at the time.

He described their daily routine as a balance between checking in on logistics in the morning—quick exchanges of “Where are you today?” and “Love you too. Have a great day”—and carving out meaningful time in the evenings.

“But to the extent we’re able to have that connection at night, it’s really couple time: time talking about kids, family, and very little about the workings of our days,” highlighted Emhoff. For Harris, family has always been at the center of her happiness. Known affectionately as “Momala” by her stepdaughter and stepson, she cherishes the role she plays in their lives.

“It’s the name the kids gave me, and I wear it proudly,” boasted Harris. One of her greatest joys, she added, is cooking amid the company of her family—a tradition that brings generations together.

Recalling a moment during her stepson’s wedding weekend, she fondly shared, “My baby nieces, my husband gets up early and does his coffee and whatever, and they just came running in my room and then jumped in bed with me, and we just talked and laughed.”

Whether making history on the political stage or enjoying the simple pleasure of a grocery store run, Harris and Emhoff continue to be a couple whose bond is admired by many.

Pope Francis’ health has been closely monitored since his hospitalization earlier this month. The Vatican has provided several updates, shedding light on his diagnosis and ongoing medical care. Now, a new statement offers further insight into his current state.

On February 14, Vatican News reported that Pope Francis would be admitted to the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic hospital after his morning audiences.

The Holy See Press Office later confirmed that he had been suffering from bronchitis for several days, leading to difficulties in delivering his public addresses.

The Pope had already delegated his prepared remarks to be read by others during multiple events, including his Wednesday General Audiences. Earlier, on February 6, Vatican News had stated that he would hold his audiences from his residence at Casa Santa Marta due to his ongoing illness.

Upon his admission, doctors conducted a series of diagnostic tests, with treatment focused on managing his bronchitis and preventing further complications.

By February 18, doctors diagnosed Pope Francis with bilateral pneumonia, adding another layer of concern to his condition. The Holy See Press Office stated that he was undergoing complex treatment, including corticosteroids and antibiotics, due to a polymicrobial infection.

Despite his worsening symptoms, it was reported that the Pope remained in “good spirits” alternating between rest, prayer, and reading. He also received the Eucharist and extended his gratitude to those who had been praying for his recovery.

Now, on February 22, Vatican News shared a concerning update from the Holy See Press Office, revealing that Pope Francis remains in critical condition. An update via Instagram confirmed that the Pope had suffered an asthma-like respiratory crisis earlier that morning, requiring the use of high-flow oxygen.

Blood tests further revealed thrombocytopenia and anemia, necessitating transfusions. The statement reiterated that while the Pope was alert and sitting in an armchair, he was more fatigued than the previous day, and his condition remained critical.

As of February 23, Pope Francis had spent his ninth consecutive night in the hospital. A Vatican statement released on Sunday morning confirmed that he continued treatment for double pneumonia at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital.

During a press conference, Dr. Sergio Alfieri, the head of the Pope’s medical team, and Dr. Luigi Carbone, the Vice-Director of Vatican healthcare services, addressed journalists for approximately forty minutes.

They noted that the Pope was expected to remain hospitalized for at least another week. While they reassured the public that he was not in immediate danger of death, they emphasized that he was also not fully out of danger.

Dr. Alfieri clarified that Pope Francis was not on a ventilator but continued to struggle with breathing, requiring him to limit physical movement.

Despite this, he remained engaged and continued his work. In a lighthearted exchange, when a doctor greeted him by saying, “Hello, Holy Father,” the Pope reportedly responded with, “Hello, Holy Son.”

Medical experts expressed their primary concern regarding the risk of a bacterial infection entering his bloodstream, which could lead to sepsis.

However, Dr. Alfieri remained optimistic that Pope Francis would eventually be discharged and return to Casa Santa Marta in the Vatican. He cautioned, however, that the Pope’s chronic respiratory issues would persist even after his hospital stay.

According to sources familiar with the situation, Pope Francis has been enduring severe pain and has privately conveyed doubts about his chances of recovery.

On Sunday, doctors at Gemelli Hospital made the difficult decision to prevent him from delivering his usual morning Angelus sermon—a rare occurrence, even during previous hospital stays. Insiders say the Pope is now strictly following medical directives, a significant shift from his usual determination to maintain his routine.

This is not the first time Pope Francis has faced serious health challenges. In March 2023, he was hospitalized for several days due to a respiratory infection.

The Vatican revealed that he had been experiencing breathing difficulties and was admitted to Gemelli Hospital for medical tests. Doctors ruled out COVID-19 but determined that he required an extended hospital stay for specialized treatment.

During his recovery, the Pope expressed his gratitude for the support and prayers he received from around the world. A few months later, in June 2023, he was again hospitalized, this time for abdominal surgery to address a painful incisional hernia.

The condition, a result of previous operations, had been causing intestinal blockages. He remained in the hospital for nine days before returning to the Vatican, choosing to enter discreetly through a side gate without stopping for the reporters gathered outside.

Over the years, Pope Francis has built relationships with many prominent figures, including celebrities like George Clooney and Angelina Jolie. As his health remains a global concern, supporters from all walks of life continue to send prayers and well wishes.

Hunter Schafer, a transgender woman and star of HBO’s hit series “Euphoria,” revealed that her newly issued U.S. passport incorrectly identifies her as male, even though she marked female on her application.

Hunter Schafer, the 26-year-old star of HBO’s “Euphoria,” was stunned to discover that her new U.S. passport incorrectly lists her as male despite her selecting female on her application.

“I was shocked,” Schafer said in a recent TikTok video, holding up her passport to display the M marker. She explained that after her bag was stolen in Barcelona, she received an emergency passport listing her as female.

However, when she applied for a new standard passport upon returning to the U.S., it was issued with the male designation. Schafer attributed the issue to policies implemented under President Donald Trump.

On his first day in office, Trump enacted an executive order titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”

“As a result of this, which I wrote down because I wanna get it right, ‘The Bureau of Consular Affairs has frozen passport applications requesting a gender marker change or renewals or new applications within gender marker deferring from an applicant’s gender assigned at birth,” the actress stated.

The order, enacted by the White House, mandates that all U.S. passports reflect the biological sex assigned at birth, eliminating the option for an X marker.

Under these new regulations, applicants requesting a gender marker different from their birth record may experience delays, and those affected could be required to provide additional documentation.

While existing passports with X markers or gender designations different from birth remain valid for travel until their expiration, all newly issued passports must comply with the updated rule.

With international travel on her horizon, Schafer voiced concerns about potential difficulties at border crossings. “I just didn’t think it was actually going to happen,” she said, criticizing the policies that led to the error on her passport.

Schafer admitted that she initially dismissed the policy shift, believing it wouldn’t directly impact her. However, after seeing the changes firsthand, she acknowledged the broader implications for transgender individuals.

“I do believe it is a direct result of the administration our country is currently operating under,” she explained in her video. “I guess I’m just sort of scared of the way this stuff slowly gets implemented.”

Despite the potential travel complications, the actress remains undeterred. “It doesn’t change anything about me or my transness,” she affirmed, emphasizing that legal classifications do not define personal identity.

She expressed confidence that transgender individuals will continue to exist and be seen, regardless of restrictive policies. “A letter and a passport can’t change that,” she stated.

Schafer has been open about her journey as a transgender woman. She came out as gay in middle school before later identifying as transgender in ninth grade. Growing up, she found solace in online communities, which helped her navigate her transition.

“The internet saved me — being able to go to YouTube and watch people’s transition timelines, and see myself on a screen,” she shared during an interview.

Reflecting on her public advocacy, Schafer noted the personal cost of being a visible transgender figure. While she once felt pressure to educate and advocate, she has since adopted a more self-preserving mindset.

“I’ve kind of lost interest in achieving some sort of utopia,” she admitted. “I am totally cool with people hating me for being trans or calling me a man. I am not interested in trying to convince them anymore.”

Instead, she prioritizes surrounding herself with supportive communities and embracing the resilience of transgender people. “We are never going to stop existing,” the star stated.

Outside of acting, Schafer has explored various creative avenues, including directing. She helmed the music video for Anohni and the Johnsons’ single “Why Am I Alive Now?” and has expressed a desire to shift her focus toward personal and artistic growth.

“I think I could probably keep doing the acting thing for a while, which is really cool. But there are so many other things that I want to do with my life that I kind of put on hold and don’t want to let go of,” she said.

As for her love life, in 2019, Hunter Schafer disclosed that her sexual identity might be close to a lesbian but clarified the matter no further. Two years after the interview with Dazed, she has come out to set the record straight for good.

The need for clarification comes after a viral tweet identified her as a lesbian. The sender seemed to be sure that the actress was a lesbian, a claim that Schafer disagrees with.

“Hunter Schafer is a lesbian. Congratulations lesbians. You’ve taken from me the one thing that matters most,” read the tweet, as reported by Advocate.com.

Schafer instead replied, saying that as much as she wished the post was true, she was unfortunately not lesbian. She said she identified as bi or pansexual.

While her explanation did not clear up the air and left fans more confused than they had been, one thing everyone could agree on is that despite her sexuality, they all supported and celebrated her.

In December 2020, rumors began making rounds after the actress spent plenty of time with Massima Desire. Seeing them together sparked much speculation about Schafer’s dating life, but she did not deny nor confirm them.

Desire, originally from Iowa, came to New York City for college over a decade ago and never returned home. As a student, she often took up modeling gigs, and it was not until recently that she began modeling seriously and signed with Next Management.

She has, however, walked the runway with brands such as Marc Jacobs, Erdem, Eckhaus Latta, and Coach, and also featured in magazines such as Document, Dazed, and AnOther, among others.

In addition to being a model, Desire makes art inspired by the people and ecology around her, including tattoos and sculptural pieces.

While Schafer has not confirmed any involvement with Desire on a romantic level, what is undeniable is the close bond between her and costar Zendaya forged on set.

During an interview with V Magazine, Schafer disclosed that Zendaya was one of the closest artistic collaborators she formed a bond with, and the friendship goes beyond the screens.

Zendaya also opened up about their mutual friendship, saying she looks at Shafer as her little sister. The “Dune” actress shared that while acting was vital to them, their friendship was more important.
