Beyoncé, an artist no stranger to the spotlight, captured attention not only for her music but also for her fashion at the awards. Accepting an accolade, she wore an all-leather cowboy outfit complemented by a matching cowboy hat, both by Versace.

However, the focus quickly shifted from her award to her appearance, igniting a flurry of comments and speculation among fans and critics alike.

Amidst compliments like “This outfit is EVERYTHING!” and “She looks always stylish,” were harsh criticisms and unfounded rumors concerning skin bleaching.

Comments such as “definitely bleached her skin” and “Do you not like your dark skin?” surfaced, alongside observations about her weight and the choice of outfit. Mixed reviews encapsulated the varied perceptions of her look, with one fan bluntly stating she looked “ridiculous.”

In response to previous skin bleaching rumors, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina, took a strong stance on Instagram. She rebuked the “stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements” and clarified the theme of silver in Beyoncé’s recent project, “Renaissance.”

Tina’s message underscored the absurdity of the criticism, highlighting the historical prevalence of platinum hair among black celebrities and condemning the racist and sexist undercurrents of such comments.

Katy Perry, the pop sensation known for her vibrant and sometimes unconventional fashion choices, opted for a bold ensemble at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

She donned a black bikini, which was visible beneath a sheer black mesh dress adorned with striking red ribbons on the sides. Completing the look were black boots and sunglasses, adding an air of mystery and edginess to her overall appearance.

While some fans appreciated Perry’s daring and confidence, others were less impressed, sparking a mix of reactions across social media platforms.

Comments ranged from concerns about the singer’s weight loss, with some speculating about the use of Ozempic — a medication known for weight loss effects — to critiques of the outfit itself.

Phrases like “Why is everyone on ozempic???“, “Ozempic again?“, and “She seriously lost so much weight!!! Wow” were juxtaposed with more critical views calling her attire a “beach cover up” and “terrible.

One observer even questioned, who was styling her lately, suggesting that Perry was trying too hard to stand out, which resulted in a look deemed by some as dated and poorly chosen.

Cher, the iconic singer and actress, was honored with the Icon Award at the event, a tribute presented by Meryl Streep and Jennifer Hudson.

Hudson and Cher later graced the stage with a performance, further cementing Cher’s legendary status in the music industry. At 77, Cher continues to captivate audiences with her unique style and presence.

Reactions to Cher’s appearance were mixed. Admirers praised her, with comments like “Cher is her own kind of unique” and “immortal,” acknowledging her timeless appeal and distinctive sense of fashion.

Yet, some feedback was less favorable, with critiques centered on her having undergone too much plastic surgery, which some felt had “ruined” her face.

As previously reported, Cher and her much-younger boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards attended the awards together, maintaining a stir that has been ongoing since the inception of their relationship.

At the awards ceremony, the 77-year-old musician and Alexander displayed their affection openly. In the press room, the young music producer leaned into Cher and planted a sweet kiss on her cheek.

Aside from the iHeart event, the couple also attended the Equal Justice Now Awards at Los Angeles Airport Marriott in matching suits, mingling with other notable guests and continuing to share joyous moments. This series of events is just the latest in their public outings this year.

In February, the lovebirds made a joint appearance at Warner Music Group’s event at Citizen News Hollywood, following the group’s pre-Grammy party. Cher effortlessly paired her faded black jeans, adorned with rhinestones, with a chic velvet bolero jacket while Edwards mirrored her style in a sleek black overcoat.

Cher’s night out with her boyfriend came after she lost her bid to become her son Elijah Blue Allman’s conservator. The judge overseeing their case ruled against an immediate conservatorship.

Elijah, Cher’s son with the late musician Gregg Allman, has admitted to past mental health and substance abuse challenges but has assured that he is actively seeking treatment and attending support group meetings.

Despite personal challenges, Cher’s romantic life with Alexander remains a source of happiness and support. Cher said, “If you have happiness, you can’t think about how long it’s going to last. You have to think about ‘How does it feel?’ and live in the moment.”

As reported in January 2024, Cher has spent much of her life pushing the boundaries of what society considers acceptable. Cher has often done things her way, from outfits to songs and opinions. This behavior also extended to her relationships.

Cher posted a photo on X of her straddling Alexander as she tipped his chin up so he could look at her. She captioned the post, “Love is Love.” However, some fans didn’t see it that way.

Her most recent relationship with rapper Alexander Edwards has sent tongues wagging because of the significant age gap. Cher’s most recent post with Alexander has confused fans even further.

One fan was confused as they thought Alexander was Kyle Kuzma, a basketball player. Another fan thought Cher was country singer Dolly Parton. Other fans began asking questions, like why Alexander didn’t post Cher on his social media.

Another fan was concerned that Cher appeared to cry and said she should be happy she was in love. The same fan wondered if they might be tears of joy that Cher was crying.

Many fans supported Cher and her relationship, with one saying Cher should be happy and that love had no color, size, or shape. Another felt that everyone deserved to enjoy love. One more fan remarked that both Alexander and Cher looked great. One fan was confused as they thought they remembered Cher saying she and Alexander had broken up.

However, there was no confirmation on whether or not the couple broke up. Yet Cher was skeptical about their relationship at first, telling Alexander that they would never work out. Regarding their relationship in December 2022, Cher called it “kind of ridiculous” on paper but said they got along well and were happy.

Before Alexander entered her life, Cher had experienced several high-profile relationships. Alongside her marriages to Gregg Allman and Sonny Bono, Cher also had a connection with actor Tom Cruise in the mid-1980s.

Cher and Tom, who was a young actor at the time, first met at Madonna’s wedding in 1985. In later years, Cher fondly recalled Tom as one of her “top-five” lovers, describing him as a wonderful but shy young man who didn’t have much money.

Tori Spelling’s experience at the awards show was marked by an unexpected wardrobe dilemma. Initially facing a mishap with her first dress choice, Spelling was left scrambling for an outfit just moments before the event.

In a turn of events, she opted for her daughter’s top paired with oversized plaid pants, black high heels, and layered necklaces — a combination that showcased her adaptability and sense of style.

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes discussed the incident on their podcast, with Robach expressing doubt that any of their dresses would fit Spelling, given her “amazing, rocking” body.

She also mentioned how Spelling generously offered her some of her rings, as Robach found herself without jewelry. Holmes and Robach, themselves dressed elegantly for the occasion, highlighted the supportive and collaborative spirit often seen behind the scenes at such events.

Spelling’s appearance at the awards comes just days after an emotional moment with her ex-husband, as previously reported earlier this week.

In a scene that captured the raw emotional toll of personal upheaval, Spelling was seen crying in her car following a fervent discussion with her estranged husband, Dean McDermott. This moment of vulnerability emerged hot on the heels of Tori formally initiating divorce proceedings, marking the end of an 18-year saga of love, conflict, and public spectacle.

Set against the ordinary backdrop of a Los Angeles storage unit where they appeared to be sorting through their belongings, the former couple’s emotionally charged interaction was unmistakable. Various media outlets that covered the story described their encounter as “tense” and “heated,” with one outlet even reporting that at some point, “a bag was launched into the air.”

The public’s response to these visual testimonies was swift and multifaceted, with most expressing a spectrum of empathy, concern, and support for Tori. “I hope he didn’t sell her sentimental things. She looks very upset,” expressed one person, while another asserted, “This must be after she filed.”

One social media user simply noted the overall situation as “sad,” and another called for people to grant Tori some respect and privacy, stating, “Let this woman cry in peace. She’s mourning her marriage. Let her be.”

Others posted comments about how the duo’s divorce must be wreaking emotional havoc on Tori with statements like, “This is divorce. It’s not pull a ripcord, jump, and be free. It’s this. Crying, frustration, defeat. Broken. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔,” “After being in such a turbulent relationship, it’s best to be by yourself, gather your thoughts, and gain peace of mind,” and “I feel bad for her having to have these pictures made public. Give the poor woman a break already!”

Someone else took the opportunity to offer Tori some encouraging words concerning the star being able to find love again with someone new when she is ready, citing, “I’m sure she will find a nice guy.”

Tori’s divorce filing cited irreconcilable differences, with June 17, 2023, marked as the official date of her and Dean’s separation. Coincidentally, Dean announced their split on Instagram on the same day but then ended up removing the post from social media.

As part of their divorce proceedings, Tori has sought spousal support, requested that Dean not receive the same permittance, and asked for sole physical custody of their five children—Beau, Finn, Hattie, Stella, and Liam McDermott. She also proposed joint legal custody with Dean’s visitation rights pending.

Meanwhile, Dean McDermott has been navigating his new reality with his reported girlfriend, Lily Calo, as evidenced by their appearance at a Los Angeles welfare office last year where they were seen holding hands. According to reports, Lily is a senior account executive at Conscious Community Global.

Drawing back to Dean and Tori, the former couple’s marriage—from their vibrant beginnings to their current paths of individual evolution—serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities inherent in life and love. As they each step into new chapters of their lives amid the public gaze, the narrative of their relationship underscores themes of vulnerability, change, and the enduring quest for personal peace and happiness.

Read an article about another instance in which Tori and Dean were seen in public together after announcing their separation, which prompted a wave of comments from social media users who expressed concern for Tori’s well-being.

For the first time since announcing their separation in June last year, Tori Spelling, aged 50, and her estranged husband, Dean McDermott, were seen in public together, eliciting a myriad of responses from fans over their current standing and Spelling’s well-being.

In the photograph that has become the subject of much discussion, McDermott is dressed in an all-black ensemble topped with a white cap, while Spelling opted for a simple yet chic look with black pants and a white T-shirt.

The appearance of the duo has spurred various comments from the public, with opinions divided on Spelling’s looks. One observer pointed out, “She looks so different [with] all that plastic surgery. Had an overhaul,” highlighting the transformation Spelling has seemingly undergone.

Another added a different note, saying, “She kind of reminds me of Wendy Williams a bit.” Amidst the critiques, support also surfaced, with remarks like “She looks amazing🔥” and “I like this look on her, finally,” suggesting an approval of Spelling’s current appearance.

This recent sighting indicates that, although not reunited romantically, Spelling and McDermott maintain a communicative relationship despite their separation. Although fans think she now looks good, prior to this, concerns were raised regarding Spelling’s health. Her appearance in a January 10 Instagram post, featuring her in baggy jeans and a white shirt in a parking lot, led fans to describe her as “gaunt” and “sick.

While she received comments criticizing her for her look, she also received supportive comments. One such comment said that the person had been following Spelling for years and they noticed that whenever she was under immense stress, she slimmed down as she tried to take care of everyone but herself. The commenter said they hoped she was okay and dubbed her a “warrior woman.

Candy Spelling, Spelling’s mother, provided some insight into her daughter’s condition in February this year, amidst these concerns. She described Spelling as “as well as can be expected” and affirmed, “She is a survivor of everything.” When asked about the overall well-being of the family, Candy confidently stated that they were doing well.
