Taking to Instagram afterward, he shared two posts in honor of the event. In one, he uploaded a screenshot of a Variety article covering the party with the caption: “I ain’t gonna hold you I had mad fun last night NYC Fashion week!” In another, he shared a video recap from the night. Fans showed plenty of love to 50 in the comments section. “This your year man. Thank you for putting on for the City and showing us NY niggas how to do it,” one user wrote. Another added: “All of this means that you need to drop a whole new album. The fans still messing with you.”

Harry Styles hasn’t been in the spotlight as much recently for his music. In fact, he’s been in the headlines more for things that have very little to do with him than things that do. During the first weekend of Coachella, Bad Bunny, or rather his team, seems to have started a war with Harry Styles fans. During the performance, the screen behind the singer was displaying various pictures and tweets, many of them from fans. Unfortunately for Bad Bunny, this included one tweet that threw shade at Harry. It read, “Good night, Benito could do ‘As It Was’, but Harry could never do ‘El Apagon’.” Of course, Harry fans took this and ran with is, as they often do, leading to a firestorm. Bad Bunny apologized, and nothing was ever heard about it from Harry’s camp.
Harry has also been in the headlines for his recent dating excursions. The pop star may be in a situationship with Emily Ratajkowski. The two were allegedly seen kissing in a video, though Harry’s face is not shown. In an interview on the podcastGoing Mental With Eileen Kelly, Ratajkowski spoke about a new man in her life. She may not be naming names, but anyone who has been paying attention knows that she is referring to Harry. Interestingly, both Ratajkowski and Styles have been romantically linked with others recently. Still, the chemistry in the steamy clip is palpable. It seems like Harry has that effect on a lot of people – including his fans.
Harry Fans Can’t Hang

Harry Styles may be making Emily Ratajkowski swoon with their steamy makeup sessions, but he’s giving his fans similar reactions just by looking at them. The pop star recently appeared on the final episode of James Corden’s talk show, The Late Late Show. During the farewell episode, Harry Styles became the subject of headlines when a fan fainted, seemingly due to his simple gesture. As he made his entrance, the singer greeted the cheering fans. With one fan, he opted for a fist bump instead of a handshake. While Harry continued toward the stage, the fan collapsed. Fortunately, she quickly recovered and was back on her feet a few minutes later when Will Ferrell took the stage. Footage of the incident showed the singer’s introduction and the fan’s reaction.
The fan, named Cyndi, took to social media to talk about the event afterward. “THIS WAS ME AND I DID NOT FAINT,” she wrote. “I simply gracefully melted into my seat after the man locked eyes w me.” Regardless of whether or not she actually fainted, it was still quite an entertaining reaction. What do you think of Harry’s interaction with his fan? Let us know in the comments!
Emily Ratajkowski’s High Low podcast has welcomed a roster of impressive guests since launching last year. Among them are Diplo, Law Roach, Iggy Azalea, Amber Rose, and, most recently, Bhad Bhabie. The Florida native spoke with the mother of one in today’s (April 25) episode. As expected, she dished on everything from her unhealthy relationship with her mother to her controversial OnlyFans account, which she says she’s earned over $50 million from.
The “Gucci Flip Flops” hitmaker charges $23.99/month for a subscription, and while she’s made a pretty penny thanks to her NSFW content, she cautions others that they likely won’t find the same success so easily. “It’s situational. I was kept covered up for so long, right, with how they were making me dress and shit. And I was young. It’s creepy but at the same time…18 is 18. That’s what they said it was, so that’s what they said it was,” Bhabie – born Danielle Bregoli – told Ratajkowski. At the same time, she said that her mom “don’t care where [the money] comes from,” she just loves to have it.
According to the 19-year-old, Barbara Bregoli has narcissistic tendencies. “You know narcissists, they like a crowd figuratively and literally they like a crowd,” she said when recalling her appearance on Dr. Phil at age 13 that sparked Bhabie’s initial rise to fame. After talking to the TV personality about her attitude problem, the young girl was sent to Turn-About Ranch in Escalante, Utah, where she says she was forced to sleep “in a sleeping bag on a hard wooden plank” inside a teepee. The rap diva spent six months there, and once she returned, she realized how popular she had become online while she was away.
“Imagine you get home from being in this f*cking f*cked up place for f*cking six months and then you open your phone and go on Facebook and all you see is yourself, and you’re 13,” she ranted in today’s episode. Elsewhere, the OF content creator discussed her experience with plastic surgery, as well as her dislike of confrontation. Stream Bhad Bhabie’s full appearance on Emily Ratajkowski’s High Low podcast exclusively on Spotify below. Afterward, tell us who you’d like the model to interview in a future episode in the comments.

Emily Ratajkowski says that her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard’s agent once described her as being “like Pamela Anderson before the hep C.” Ratajkowski had been at a Hollywood party that her partner pressured her into attending. She reflected on the incident during a new interview with The Los Angeles Times.
Ratajkowski originally brought the incident to light in an essay from 2020. “I thought about the way that [Bear-McClard] had glided through the room, a room full of men who only two years before had been kissing Harvey Weinstein’s ring and encouraging their young female clients to take meetings with him in hotel rooms,” she wrote. “I hated that my husband was at all connected to these men.”

Speaking with The Times, Ratajkowski explained that seeing her ex-husband’s behavior confirmed her suspicions about the nature of the entertainment industry. “And maybe that’s why right now I’m not really interested in men’s POVs,” she told the outlet. “Because they were lies. And I don’t mean infidelity. This is a f—ed up world. Like, Hollywood is f—ed up. And it’s dark. Obviously, it would be nice to be with somebody who’s in the industry or understands it, but I don’t think I can. That was what that essay was about … I had a hard time even being at a party like that. But then having a part of me that was so connected to it was even harder.” Ratajkowski did not specifically address the recent sexual misconduct allegations made against Bear-McClard.
Ratajkowski separated from Bear-McClard in July 2022 and has since filed for divorce. In the months since, she’s dated several high-profile celebrities including Pete Davidson, Eric Andre, and more. Just last month, photos emerged of her kissing Harry Styles. “There’s a million insane, inaccurate things about my relationships [that are said],” Ratajkowski told The Times. “I’m definitely still not thinking about guys,. Although, yeah. You know, sometimes things just happen.”
The romance between Emily Ratajkowski and Pete Davidson burned bright and quick, lasting a mere month and change at the tail-end of 2022. Both parties were coming off serious relationships and were possibly looking for something fun and casual. Ratajkowski is now being linked with Harry Styles, while Davidson has been seen in the company of Chase Sui Wonders. However, Davidson is still plagued by rumors, which have most recently included Ice Spice.
Davidson has one of the most iconic and infamous dating records. From Ariane Grande to Kim K, Davidson’s Black Book is a veritable Who’s Who. However, the science behind how Pete Davidson has been able to land babe after babe is one that has been much to discuss, with few answers. Scholars fall into a few camps, including the dick-size truthers and the serial monogamist theorists. However, Ratajkowski may have revealed the answers that will put the matter to bed for good. And it has nothing to do with anatomy or an inability to commit.
In a new feature with the LA Times, Ratajkowski opened up about a number of topics, including her dating life. Amongst that specific thread, EmRata revealed just why Pete Davidson is so popular with women. “People are so perplexed by the idea that a man might just be respectful to women and treat them like people and thus be easy to go out on dates with,” Ratajkowski told interviewer Amy Kaufman. Despite implying she attracts “the worst men” following her time with Davidson, Ratajkowski had nothing but positive things to say about the SNL star.
Ratajkowski’s revelation should finally end the speculation surrounding Davidson’s love life. Well, at least the part about why it’s so prevalent. The answer was simple all along – Davidson is just a good guy who drinks his respect women juice. In a world of dramatic celebrity breakups that fuel the news cycle day after day, perhaps we should learn from Pete Davidson as opposed to speculating about him. But one thing for certain – Emily Ratajkowski gives the comedian a glowing review.
Emily Ratajkowski appears to be hinting at a potential relationship with alleged new beau Harry Styles. In an interview on the podcast Going Mental With Eileen Kelly, EmRata spoke about a new man in her life. She may not be naming names, but anyone who has been paying attention knows exactly who she is referring to. A little over a week ago, the actress and author was seen in Tokyo kissing Harry Styles. Both Ratajkowski and Styles have been romantically linked with others recently. Still, the chemistry in the steamy clip is palpable.
Up until 2022, Emily Ratajkowski was married to film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard. The two began dating in 2018 and married the same year. In 2020, EmRata confirmed that she was pregnant with her first child. The couple welcomed their son in 2021. However, they could not make it last as they separated only a year later. Ratajkowski filed for divorce last fall. After the split, she jumped on a viral TikTok trend where she joked about liking ugly men in an apparent dig at her ex-husband. Since then, she has had quite the dating history.
EmRata Just Wants To Have Fun

In her interview with the Going Mental podcast, Emily Ratajkowski praises her new situationship. “I just started dating someone that I think I like, so that is different,” she says in the interview. “But if you had been talking to me four weeks ago, absolutely. I would be seeing someone and then suddenly the way he would walk would be like, ugh.” It seems that her pre-Harry Styles romances may have given her the ick.
Fans lost their minds on social media after a video surfaced of Emily Ratajkowski allegedly making out with Harry Styles in Tokyo. Moreover, the term “allegedly” comes from the fact that you can’t tell if it’s really her in the video, but it’s the widespread consensus on sites like Twitter. Furthermore, you can definitely tell that it’s the former One Direction singer during the sloppy kiss clip, which fans are somewhat clowning online. However, the overwhelming sentiment is shock, especially given that the model recently appeared with Ozario Rispo after her split from Eric André.
Interestingly enough, this comes after recent confessions from Ratajkowski that she “attracts the worst men,” in her opinion. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘F**k,’ because I want a confident man,” she told Olivia Ponton on her podcast. “I feel like I attract the worst men. I don’t want an overly confident man who has something to prove and is trying to prove it through me. What I hate with dating, with men in particular, is I feel like they’re like, ‘OK, yes, you’re special. You’ve done it.’
Harry Styles Spotted Making Out With Emily Ratajkowski

“And they love it and love it,” EmRata continued. “And then slowly, they get emasculated and they don’t know what to do with those feelings, and then they resent you. Then they start to tear you down, and then you’re back to square one. It’s so f***ed up and unfair because I feel like a lot of men who truly think they want a strong woman actually don’t know how to handle it and they don’t know what it means for their own identity.”
Meanwhile, the Harry’s House Grammy winner recently made headlines for his Album of the Year acceptance speech. While it’s hard to deliver a perfect acknowledgement of victory when you just beat out landmark albums from Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and many others, a lot of people felt he could’ve done a better job at expressing his gratitude realistically and honestly. Regardless, what’s done is done. Given that you ca barely tell it’s the Gone Girl actress in the Tokyo clip, maybe this will be a funny misunderstanding to look back upon. One thing’s for sure: it’s absolutely spicy if true. With that in mind, check back in with HNHH for the latest on Emily Ratajkowski and Harry Styles.
He has compared his relationship with Zendaya to that of Ms. Celie and Nettie in The Color Purple, so it’s clear that Law Roach loves the actress. The high-profile stylist is one of the most sought-after creatives behind the scenes. He’s worked with the who’s who of Hollywood, including one of his favorite clients, Zendaya. Many of the Euphoria actress’s stunning looks were styled by Law, and the pair often appear on red carpets together. However, front row faux pas at Paris Fashion Week runway show went viral, prompting Roach to exit the styling world.
In the clip, Law and Zendaya arrive at the show and go to take their seats in the front row. This would be a common place for both stars, as Law Roach is typically invited to high fashion runway shows worldwide. However, Zendaya could take her seat, but someone else was sitting in Law’s place. It was an embarrassing scene for someone of his caliber, and Law announced his retirement not long after the video went viral. Zendaya’s name was dragged into the fashion controversy after being accused of not sticking up for her friend. Roach clarified it wasn’t Zendaya’s fault and shared what she told him after he announced his departure from the industry spotlight.
Law Roach Says Zendaya Offered To Help

“She called. And she said, ‘Girl, I thought we make big decisions together,’” Roach told Emily Ratajkowski while on her High Low podcast. “Of course, she supported me. She’s like, ‘Do you need me to send you on a vacation?’ Like, tell me what you’re going through.’ And I talked to her about just being unhappy and being unhappy for a really long time. And still grieving the death of my nephew. So, we had that talk, and she was like, ‘Whatever you need, whatever you need.’”
“In the beginning of our relationship, we made a vow to each other that we would do everything we possibly could to elevate each other,” Roach said. “It’s so funny ’cause we call ourselves ‘Big ideas, small detail.’ So, I’m the big idea. Like, I live in this fantasy world, and I bring her these things, and she pulls it together. And then my job is to create this narrative and tell her what it is and who this girl is as she goes on the carpet. And she just becomes that.”
Clarifying What Happened

He further called the internet “cruel” for attacking the award-winning star. “People started to blame her for my retirement, and that wasn’t fair to her,” he said. “The things they were saying, of course, isn’t true. So, then it spilled over to my suffering. She started to suffer, too. And I didn’t think that was fair because she has always protected me in this industry and vice versa.” Roach also addressed the Paris Fashion Week clip. He said they were late due to traffic and once they arrived, it was a frazzled scene. Zendaya was an ambassador for Valentino, so it was expected that she and her stylist would sit together.
“They’ll just sit you wherever they can find you a seat, but I had a seat. And the seat that she pointed to, that was Darnell’s — which is her assistant — that was his seat,” he said. “We were both actually standing there, and so she was like, ‘Darnell, that’s your seat.’ And then they came and was like, ‘Law, you need to sit.’ I was like, ‘Well, you need to tell me where I’m sitting.’” It looks like Law won’t be out of the fashion world for good, but he’s scaling back. Check out photos of the two above.
