Kirsten Wiig returns to television in the comedy miniseries Palm Royale coming to Apple TV+ on Wednesday (March 20). To celebrate the premiere, Anthropologie has released a Palm Royale collection, which features a mix of 1960s mod-influenced tops, bottoms, dresses and more that’ll help you channel “main character energy” all spring and into summer.

Each character within the Apple TV+ series boasts a vibrant wardrobe showcasing bold shades, patterns and poolside attire. As the weather heats up, you’ll easily be able to make a statement as well, whether you’re lounging by the water or laying out your picnic blanket at the park.

Plus, rather than just watch Palm Royale online, Anthropologie’s promo with the miniseries provides an added layer of interactiveness that gives you the ability to channel your favorite character through fashion pieces you can wear day and night. You don’t have to watch the show to stock up on the clothing either — if you’re a fan of 1960s style, then you’ll definitely want to grab some of the swimsuit coverups and shift dresses for a vintage high society appearance.

Olivia Rodrigo’s Off-Stage Style Includes These Classic Jeans for Under $100 https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/olivia-rodrigo-levis-jeans-buy-online-1235635671/ Mon, 18 Mar 2024 19:49:28 +0000 https://www.billboard.com/?p=1235635671

Olivia Rodrigo has been making headlines during her Guts world tour with the latest being her duet with special guest Sheryl Crow. Alongside her hypnotic vocals, the “Drivers License” singer has also been showing off some pop punk-inspired looks on and off the stage, including a couple pairs of Levi’s denim, now available for under $100.

It’s not uncommon to see Rodrigo sporting pleated skirts with her platform Doc Martens, but recently she’s been seen not once, but twice wearing Levi’s Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans. The Grammy-winning artist opted for a dark indigo wash and faded black pair of the women’s jeans that are notably just $98 each.

Both pairs of jeans have highlighted a more relaxed, casual look for the “Lacy” singer rather than her usual Y2K edgy apparel. Case in point: Rodrigo opted to wear the faded black jeans for a monochromatic look that featured a black tank top, Adidas Samba OG sneakers and matching sunglasses during a bus event to promote her world tour on March 9, according to fashion blog Star Style.

These faded denim jeans are designed with a super high-rise that aims to sit above the belly button for a more elongated appearance. Since the material is made from 99% cotton, you can expect a low amount of stretch.


Blue jeans are a staple piece to own and Rodrigo showed off her preference for the look in a TikTok transformation video that featured her going from pre-concert to stage-ready. The video was taken before night two of her Orlando stop on March 5 and included a dark wash version of the Levi’s jeans with a red vintage Haagen Dazs T-shirt.

Just like the faded black pair, these dark indigo jeans come with a slim fit through the hip and thigh with a soft cotton material that’ll aim to get softer with every wash. The denim also comes with five-pocket styling to store small objects like your phone and wallet.

Only 1,000 pairs of these luxurious gold Aviator Ray-Ban Reverse sunglasses were made, which means once they’re sold-out, there most likely won’t be a restock. Not only were the sunglasses designed with Kravitz, but they feature a premium gold frame and gold mirror lenses as well as limited-edition packaging and a case signed by the artist.

Completing the collection are a silver and black style, which are designed with polished metal frames and reflective lenses to help protect your eyes from damaging sunrays. The versatile shades can be dressed up or down thanks to both colorways’ neutral coloring. Each pair also comes with a protective case to keep the sunglasses safe and secure when not in use.


The “TK241” singer is no stranger to the sunglasses brand, having been spotted wearing the Ray-Bans on numerous occasions, including paired with his giant oversized scarf that broke the internet back in 2012, and more recently, at his Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony.

“As a lifelong fan of Ray-Ban, their timeless style has always resonated with me,” Kravitz says, in a statement. “The Ray-Ban Reverse collaboration is a dream come true, allowing me to merge my love for music and fashion with such an iconic brand. It’s about breaking boundaries, embracing individuality, and seeing the world from a new perspective through those innovative lenses.”

Athena Jett Moves Forward on ‘American Idol’ Thanks to Her Secret Weapon Little Sister https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/athena-jett-american-idol-hollywood-little-sister-1235635514/ Mon, 18 Mar 2024 15:59:30 +0000 https://www.billboard.com/?p=1235635514

Sometimes all you need is that little extra push from someone who knows how special you are. On Monday night’s (March 17) audition episode of American Idol, 20-year-old Las Vegas native Athena Jett came in with confidence and a voice that should have at least gotten her a look from judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

Related

But, just in case, she also had her adorable 12-year-old sister (and bestie) Angelina in tow to help boost her chances with good energy and a special homemade gift for Perry’s four-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. Angelina proudly handed over a crocheted pink and white purse covered in a daisy pattern, naturally, with Perry loving the sweet gesture and hugging Angelina, saying Daisy definitely “loves a purse.”

In the lead-up package, Athena talked about how close the sisters are and how Angelina is her “biggest fan… she’s such a bright ball of energy and she believes in me so much.”

Perry then invited Angelina to stand by the piano as Athena sang a somewhat shaky version of Sophia James’ jazzy 2021 ballad, “Somebody New.” Angelina was brought to tears, as was Bryan, with Perry praising the singer’s “great voice,” but saying that Athena’s nerves appeared to get the best of her. “People are out there fighting tooth and nail and so I am worried about putting you in the ring,” Perry said.

Then, unexpectedly, Angelina sheepishly raised her hand — as she and Athena shared whispered “I Love You”‘s to each other across the room — and asked if she could suggest a different song for her sibling to sing. “I don’t want to be barging in or anything, but I remember for piano recital my sister sang ‘Never Enough’ from The Greatest Showman. I really think that that was a really good song that she sang,” Angelina said.

Perry repeatedly encouraged Athena to raise her voice and sing it out loud as the singer hit a series of high notes during her second go and Perry jumped to her feet, sweeping Angelina up in a giant spinning hug. “Good job, you’re gonna come to Hollywood too,” Perry said as she shook Angelina’s hand.

“I couldn’t do this without her,” Athena said to the weeping panel, as Perry said that she went from a “hard no” to a “what the hell was that? That was phenomenal. You have to use that. That is your sword!” Bryan praised a crying Angelina for being so brave and stepping up to advocate for her sister, after which the weepy Angelina handed over the golden ticket to her overwhelmed big sis.

Chance the Rapper Guesses a Seemingly Impossible ‘Password’ in Sneak Peek Clip https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/chance-the-rapper-password-sneak-peek-clip-1235633861/ Mon, 18 Mar 2024 14:00:00 +0000 https://www.billboard.com/?p=1235633861

Turns out, Chance the Rapper is a Password master.

In a new preview clip for the upcoming March 19 episode shared exclusively with Billboard, Chance the Rapper and Jimmy Fallon serve as celebrity partners for the two contestants. In the game, the two teams attempt to convey mystery words to each other — or “passowords” — using only single-word clues, in order to win cash prizes.

In the video, host Keke Palmer notes that the theme is “passwords inspired by scary movies.” The password for the round is séance, which is a ceremonial practice in which people try to make contact with the dead.

For the first attempt at giving a clue, Chance’s partner says Beyoncé, which throws the “Same Drugs” rapper for a loop. “Are we still in the same category?” he asks Palmer, before guessing the incorrect answer of “scream.”

Fallon’s partner then tries to convey the password by saying “summon,” to which the confused talk show host guesses “queen.”

Chance’s partner then tries again, saying “fiancé,” which somehow led the rapper to the correct response and shocked everyone on the panel. “I knew that it rhymed, once she said two different things and I was like, ‘OK, let’s go through it,'” Chance explained.

Watch the sneak peek below. Password airs on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC before it streams the next day on Peacock.

‘American Idol’ Military Daughter Elleigh Francom Lands Ticket to Hollywood With Emotional Audition https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/american-idol-military-daughter-elleigh-francom-hollywood-week-emotional-audition-1235635384/ Mon, 18 Mar 2024 11:03:22 +0000 https://www.billboard.com/?p=1235635384

Elleigh Marie Francom is a typical American girl, confronted by difficult circumstances.

The 20-year-old realized a years-long dream when she auditioned on American Idol Sunday night (March 19), and made fans everywhere with her appearance.

Francom is a full-time cosmetologist, a miliary daughter based in American Fork, Utah. Her mom, a singer who teaches theater and has tuned into Idol with Elleigh since the contestant was a kid, is battling multiple serious illnesses.

“Dad was gone for much of the time,” she said in the prerecorded package. The youngster had to step up. “A lot of the responsibilities did fall on me,” she explained.

On the day of her audition, Elleigh learned that her dad will be deployed for a year, starting from April. How does she feel about that? “It really sucks,” she told the judges, as she burst into tears.

Elleigh admitted she’s torn by choices. Chase the Idol dream, or go home and help out with her younger siblings when dad is away?

With her performance, the path ahead is now illuminated.

Elleigh channeled her emotions into a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me”. And drained it.

As she completed the performance, the tears rolled. “Nobody’s ever hit that note at the end,” quipped Katy Perry. “It was great. You gave me the feels. You started off somewhat average, then you landed it. If you sang from that space every time, you would be in superstar territory.”

“I think she’s top 10,” Luke Bryan added. “There’s just really beautiful things going on in your voice.” When she slots into her groove, there were “classy” and “older than your years” tones. “I just loved it.”

Lionel Richie is a believer. “You went to a place that was so pure, so angelic, that it was really one of those moments where we couldn’t keep our eyes off of you.”

The family came out, the judges stood and applauded, Idol had a moment and Elleigh is going to “Hollywood Week.”

Nicki Minaj Launches Her Press-On Nail Brand & We Tried It: Here’s What to Know About Pink Friday Nails https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/nicki-minaj-pink-friday-nails-buy-online-1235632607/ Fri, 15 Mar 2024 17:43:07 +0000 https://www.billboard.com/?p=1235632607

Manicures are an extension of our personalities, from maximalist looks topped with rhinestones to classic French manicures for the minimalists. Barbz can now channel Nicki Minaj with the launch of her first-ever press-on nails brand, Pink Friday Nails.

The manicure brand debuted on Friday (March 15), and Billboard Shopping had the opportunity to try the new press-on nails, which after testing a set out, it’s one of the most durable yet stylish press-ons I’ve tried yet. Besides having a wide selection of nail styles to choose from, each design is modeled after actual manicures the “FTCU” rapper has sported on and off the red carpet, including a recreation of her press-on set that famously fell off during the 2023 MTV VMAs.

Pink Friday Nails

One of the most notable qualities is the amount of shapes and sizes to choose from. There are four shapes available: stiletto, coffin, square and almond as well as sizes short to XXL. I decided to keep things simple with a short, square-cut iridescent set of press-ons, but there are styles decorated with as many as 400 gems and charms for anyone who prefers some extra sparkle.

When opening the press-on nails kit, you’ll find a mini file, different nails sizes to choose from, nail glue, adhesive tabs, a cuticle pusher, a nail file and buffer and an alcohol pad. Since both application methods are included, you’re not limited to particular art designs. Every single shape and size includes both application methods, making it accessible for beginners and more advanced press-on users.


Glue application can stay on for a up to two weeks, but the sticky tabs will last a week at most. The best way to remove press-on nails, according to Minaj’s nail tech Yvett G, who helped create and design Pink Friday Nails, is to soak your hand in warm water, then gently remove the nails from the outside edges. That doesn’t mean the nails aren’t shower-proof — I was able to wash my hair without a single nail falling off — but just make sure to use care when lathering your hair.

The nails, when applied properly, won’t fall off easily, either. I got them caught in my jacket, hair and even banged my hand on my desk, and the nails remained chip-free. Friends also couldn’t stop complimenting them on how trendy the design was, and I loved seeing how shocked their faces became when I revealed my manicure was actually just a set of press-ons.

Whether you’re looking for a bold manicure to pair with your denim dresses and platform boots, or want a unique gift for music lovers, Pink Friday Nails has got you covered.

For Minaj, the desire to build her own nail brand started when she became a mom and didn’t have time to sit in a nail-salon chair. With help and collaboration from Yvett G, the two created Pink Friday Nails to make salon-quality press-ons accessible to anyone.

“I couldn’t spend as much time getting my nails done as when I only had to worry about me, so it became a necessity to create fly, quaility press-on nails,” said Minaj in a press statement. “Pink Friday Nails are the actual nails I wear designed by my actual nail tech. And I have very small nail beds, so normally, press-ons are way too big and don’t hit the same. Our nails come from short to the longest length I wear, in all shapes, all sizes and polishes.”
