Beyoncé Just Slayed the Campaign Trail in a Polka Dot Pantsuit

The election is only a few days away, and as we prep our nasty women-inspired voting stickers and make sure our election-style manis are up to par, we have to take a moment to soak in the greatness of Beyoncé’s latest appearance. No, we’re not talking about her surprise performance at the CMAs (though that was pretty awesome too), but her next-level support of Hillary Clinton at a recent campaign concert. Guys? She ROCKED A PANTSUIT.

It was in Cleveland that Hillary Clinton was joined on stage by Jay Z, Chance the Rapper and, of course, Queen Bey for the #GetOutTheVote concert . After the crowd managed to calm down (at least a little bit) from all the excitement, they were treated to a performance of Bey’s “Formation” and a powerful speech from Beyoncé that was all about female empowerment and the importance of voting, particularly as a female and as a millennial.

"I'm with her!" –@Beyonce

A post shared by Hillary Clinton (@hillaryclinton) on

Donned in head-to-toe polka dots, Bey said, “I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman leading the country,” after she and her backup dancers (who rocked seriously stylish blue pantsuits of their own and “I’m with her” T-shirts) wowed the crowd. “That’s why I’m with her… we have to think about the future of our daughters, our sons and vote for someone who cares about them as much as we do.”

But it didn’t end there. Bey also made it a point to take a moment and remind all the ladies listening just how HUGE the win would be for our gender. After all, it was less than 100 years ago that women weren’t even allowed to vote. Progress, indeed.

Backstage, Bey and hubby Jay Z shared a private moment with the presidential hopeful, and, if this photo is any indicator, they had an absolute blast. We mean, just look at that shirt! It’s the same one the dancers wore, and though there are plenty of official “I’m With Her” shirts in Hillary’s e-shop, this one seems to feature the wide-brimmed hat Beyoncé herself wore in her “Formation” video. Do we spy a custom Bey X Hill creation? Whatever it is, we need it now!

There are few things in our daily lives as horrifying as a first date with a stranger. Usually, the best case scenario is you show up to an agreed meeting place, hit it off, want to go out again, and maybe even fall in love. That is, assuming you're not getting catfished and they're not a crazy person. Well, in Meghann Fahy's new thriller, she finds herself on the perfect first date that takes a turn for the terrifying when an anonymous stranger starts tormenting her...and then instructs her to kill her date. Now the question remains: will she follow through, or will this would-be couple make it to dessert?

Here's everything know about Drop, starring Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar.


Watch 'The Drop' trailer now!

The first thing I have to call out about The Drop trailer is that Brandon Sklenar just keeps getting cuter. How is this possible?! He and Meghann Fahy have chemistry the moment he steps onscreen which makes this whole movie concept — you know, that Meghann's character is told she has to kill him — even more intriguing. And Sabrina Carpenter playing in the background? An inspired choice.

I want to believe that both Violet and Henry make it out of the story alive...but things aren't looking too hopeful for either of them.

What is the movie Drop about?

HBO

Drop Plot

In Drop, widowed mother Violet (Meghann Fahy) is literally so relieved when her date with Henry goes well. He's handsome and charismatic, and she's enjoying their time together — until an unknown number starts dropping anonymous instructions to her phone. Now, Violet has to play it cool while following her new contact's instructions or her kids will pay the price. There's just one problem: the final instruction is to kill Henry.

When is Drop coming out?

Drop Release Date

Drop hits theaters April 11, 2025. The Blumhouse film is from Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky), is written by Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach, and is produced by Jason Blum, Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Cameron Fuller. The movie's also executive produced by Sam Lerner.

Blumhouse/Universal Pictures

The poster for Drop definitely gets my adrenaline pumping — and I love Meghann Fahy's glam eyeshadow & manicure paired with the terror in her eyes. Because, duh, of course this Emmy-nominted actress can act with her eyes like nobody's business. And the bold red of the graphic design? Chef's kiss.

After spending decades in the entertainment industry, some celebs like Pamela Anderson have opted for a makeup-free look. No one can forget when she stunned photographers right before Paris Fashion Week's Vivienne Westwood show last year by rocking a bare face. She told Vogue France, she wasn't thinking about not "wearing any makeup." However, she didn't want to "compete with the clothes" she was wearing. She felt "freedom" from not trying to "be the prettiest girl in the room" which speaks volumes to us!

Now, Pamela continues to embrace the no-makeup life — and not only does she look gorgeous, but she seems SO happy! The star shared recently how this lifestyle change impacts her day-to-day, and it's honestly incredibly relatable. Here's what she had to say!

Here's what Pamela Anderson just said about adopting a no-makeup life!

www.instagram.com

1. It saves her a lot of time.

Pamela Anderson stopped by the Live with Kelly and Markshow to talk about filming The Last Showgirl, her childhood, and how not wearing makeup has been beneficial for her. While her makeup-free clip from the episode isn't available on YouTube, PEOPLE reports hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos asking her how her decision has changed her life.

Ripa started with, "You don't travel with a glam squad. How liberating is that for you," while Consuelos followed with, "And how much time have you gotten back?"

The former Baywatch star said she's "saved a lot of time" and admitted that her sons "used to say that I spent half my life in a makeup chair."

2. She feels more focused in general.

Pamela Anderson also admitted things feel easier for her in general. "I feel like I could focus better when I did the film, too." And her life outside of that? She said she's "gotten out of wearing makeup and it's been fun."

It's interesting because Kelly Ripa shared she's been inspired by Pamela Anderson's makeup-free choice. She remembers not wearing makeup for a short while and said to herself, "'Pamela Anderson is a genius." Kelly even thought for a moment, "This is the way to live." We're so here for it!

www.instagram.com

3. She lives for a glam moment, but appreciates simplicity now.

Pamela's all for being makeup-free now, but she's not bashing glam moments. She actually "loved it" because "it's fun when you're new in the business and you get all this attention." She's just at a point where she's "done that" and wants to "simplify and keep it low key."

She really does "love being elegant, sophisticated" but has found what "works best" for her.

On Tuesday, January 21, 2025, Justin Baldoni (and his legal team) released footage from the It Ends With Us set. The video notes that this is in an attempt to "refute" Blake Lively's claims of sexual harassment against Justin in her lawsuit. Justin and his team claim, "The scene in question was designed to show the two characters falling in love and longing to be close to one another. Both actors are clearly behaving well within the scope of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism."

Since Justin put it out there, I gave it a watch to decide for myself what's really going on during these takes. Here's what I thought.

Here's what's going on in that Justin Baldoni & Blake LivelyIt Ends With Us video:

www.youtube.com

- YouTube
  • I immediately wish I had context for his direction of the scene past the screenplay notes. "Slow dance" and "completely in their own world" don't indicate any kissing other other similar intimate acts. If I knew what he said beforehand, it could be helpful to grasp the expectations of the scene, but that's cut out and we're dropped in the middle of filming this scene.
  • With that in mind, when Justin went in to seemingly kiss Blake during filming — and she doesn't reciprocate — it feels awkward. They're talking all throughout filming about what's going on around them, what they're doing, and whatnot, so why wouldn't he tell her ahead of time that he plans to kiss her? (Or better yet, ASK if he could kiss her)
  • When Blake suggests that they never actually kiss so they don't "give them [the audience] what they want," it feels like her setting a clear boundary. Lines can seem blurry when you're acting, so it's definitely important to understand boundaries when you're working with another actor in more intimate scenes.
  • Blake often dances away from Justin, giggling as she dodges his advances.
  • Then Justin starts going towards her neck — again, not directing that he's doing that or asking. I'll give him that he says, "Let's see this," the second time, and she willingly moves her hair for him there. But that seems to be the only real time he shares before he acts intimately in this scene.
  • Blake is friendly and laughing throughout the filming, but IMO that's on professionalism. He may be the director, but this is clearly a passion project for her that she takes a lot of pride in. Who among us hasn't smiled, giggled, and comforted someone else who was actually making us feel uncomfortable to get out of an awkward situation — especially in a work setting!
  • The conversation comparing their spouses feels forced. IDK it's just really awkward. You don't have to draw from your personal life to act out a scene.
  • "That's why we hired Jenny Slate — our noses match," may be a joke, but feels belittling. Jenny was really good in this movie, and she was clearly hired for more than her looks.
  • The continued neck activity and then saying her spray tan "smells good" is just so uncomfortable.
  • Why aren't there subtitles for the last section of this video? You can subtly hear some contention about "directing this," but there's not clearly outlined dialogue there. What was being said?

In response to the video, Blake's legal team told ET:

Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning. Every frame of the released footage corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described in Paragraph 48 of her Complaint. The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character. Every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance, and no intimacy coordinator present. Mr. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively’s co-star, but the director, the head of studio and Ms. Lively’s boss.

The video shows Ms. Lively leaning away and repeatedly asking for the characters to just talk. Any woman who has been inappropriately touched in the workplace will recognize Ms. Lively’s discomfort. They will recognize her attempts at levity to try to deflect the unwanted touching. No woman should have to take defensive measures to avoid being touched by their employer without their consent.

This matter is in active litigation in federal court. Releasing this video to the media, rather than presenting it as evidence in court, is another example of an unethical attempt to manipulate the public. It is also a continuation of their harassment and retaliatory campaign. While they are focused on misleading media narratives, we are focused on the legal process. We are continuing our efforts to require Mr. Baldoni and his associates to answer in court, under oath, rather than through manufactured media stunts.

So what do you think? Does this video prove Blake lied about those sexual harassment claims? Or does it prove exactly what she was trying to address?
