Rihanna once again proved she’s unfazed by awkward moments after a brief mishap involving her security team, which then turned into a viral clip. 

The singer was leaving the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City on Friday, Jan. 16, when her bodyguard walked ahead of her and unintentionally allowed the door to swing shut right in her face. 

Instead of reacting with frustration, Rihanna handled the moment with humour and ease.

The 37-year-old paused, smiled, and jokingly said, “Such a gentleman you are,” in a video that quickly spread across social media. 

She then laughed to herself before stepping into a waiting car, earning praise from fans for staying cool and lighthearted. 

The moment backed her long-standing reputation for confidence and grace, even when things don’t go as plannedThe incident happened on a busy and celebratory weekend for the superstar and her family. 

That same day, her partner A$AP Rocky released his fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb. 

The following night, Rocky took the stage as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, and the couple was later spotted attending the show’s after-party together.

Beyond the viral moment, Rihanna also sparked conversation online with a comment that hinted at her openness to expanding her family. 

On Saturday, Love Island alum Montana Brown posted a video debating whether to “get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026.” 

Rihanna, who shares children RZA, 3, Riot, 2, and baby Rocki, 4 months, with Rocky, chimed in with a playful response, writing, “Wait! So I’m not crazy then? Bet!”

Her comment immediately drew mixed reactions from fans. 

While some supported her embracing motherhood, others couldn’t help but mention her long-awaited return to music. 

One fan joked, “@badgalriri need to be pregnant with an album sis,” while another pleaded, “@badgalriri Rih baby pleaseeee let us get the album first.”

Still, between shrugging off an awkward run-in with a closing door and casually teasing the idea of another baby, Rihanna made it clear she’s doing things on her own terms. 

Whether navigating viral moments or balancing family life with fan expectations, she continues to show why she remains one of pop culture’s most unbothered and beloved figures.

Gwyneth Paltrow is leading a wave of heartfelt tributes following the death of legendary Italian fashion designer Valentino Garavani, who passed away Monday in Rome at the age of 93. 

The Oscar-winning actress shared a deeply personal message remembering not just the iconic designer, but the man she knew privately and loved dearly.

Valentino played a meaningful role in Paltrow’s life, dressing her for major moments including the Met Gala, numerous awards shows, and her 2018 wedding to Brad Falchuk. 

Reflecting on their bond, Paltrow wrote, “I was so lucky to know and love Valentino-to know the real man, in private. 

The man who was in love with beauty, his family, his muses, his friends. His dogs, his gardens, and a good Hollywood story. I loved him so much. I loved how he always pestered me to ‘at least wear a little mascara’ when I came to dinner. I loved his naughty laugh.”

She ended her tribute on a poignant note, adding, “This feels like the end of an era. He will be deeply missed by me and all who loved him. Rest in peace, Vava,” followed by a broken heart emoji.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford also honoured Valentino, sharing photos from her time with him and writing, “I’m heartbroken to hear of Valentino Garavani’s passing. He was a true master of his craft, and I will always be grateful for the years I had the privilege of working closely with him.”

Valentino’s passing was confirmed by his foundation via Instagram, stating in part, “Valentino Garavani passed away today at his Roman residence, surrounded by his loved ones.” 

According to the foundation, a funeral will be held on Jan. 23 at the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri in Rome.

Throughout his career, Valentino dressed and worked with countless stars, including Sharon Stone, Nicole Kidman, Barbra Streisand, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Monica Vitti, and Jackie Kennedy, for whom he designed her wedding dress for her 1968 marriage to Aristotle Onassis.

Fashion designer Zac Posen paid tribute with a moving message, writing, “Mr. Valentino has left us, and with him an era of rare elegance and grace. He believed deeply in glamour, in beauty, and above all in the power and love of women. He was a true gentleman and a romantic in every sense of the word… The world is more beautiful because he was in it. Riposa in pace, genio dell’eleganza.”

“Riposa in pace, genio dell’eleganza” is italian for “Rest in peace, genius of elegance.”

Model Coco Rocha echoed those sentiments, sharing, “Today Fashion lost another giant of our industry, and a true gentleman. I was lucky to know Valentino, not just as the iconic Roman couturier, but as a warm, generous presence who shaped fashion with grace, discipline, and beauty.”

As tributes continue to pour in, it’s clear Valentino’s influence reached far beyond the runway, leaving behind a legacy defined by elegance, artistry, and deep personal connections.
