Fans React to Cher's Recent Red Carpet Appearance: 'My Queens Together'
Fans React to Cher's Recent Red Carpet Appearance: 'My Queens Together' originally appeared on Parade. Cher made a rare red-carpet appearance this week, attending the Tribeca Film Festival screening of actress Mariska Hargitay's documentary My Mom Jayne, and fans couldn't get enough of seeing the 79-year-old icon alongside Mom Jayne, a documentary directed by Hargitay, explores the life of the Law and Order: SVU actress' iconic late mother, Jayne Mansfield. Hargitay was just three years old when her mother died in a car crash, and the film—her directorial debut—marks the actress' search for the mother she never truly knew. Hargitay's good friend Cher (that must be a fun girls' night out) walked the red carpet in support of the film—and the budding filmmaker. Fans loved the a video shared to social media of Cher and Hargitay together on the My Mom Jayne red carpet, one fan wrote, 'OMG! Cher and Mariska,' while another commented, 'My queens together.' One fan called the pairing a 'phenomenal duo.' We couldn't agree more. And since Cher is just about the only actress who hasn't guest starred on SVU, we hope her red carpet appearance gives the producers a hint to take this pairing to the small screen. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Fans React to Cher's Recent Red Carpet Appearance: 'My Queens Together' first appeared on Parade on Jun 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Maria McManus Resort 2026 Collection
Earlier this year, Maria McManus began experimenting with lace after coming across an Irish linen tablecloth her Aunt Bibi had made. 'I'm not a super floral crochet person, but I was like 'OK, this is meaningful,'' she said at the time, and three seasons later, it's been a thrill to see how that discovery begat a round of experimentation and pushing of the creative boundaries for the designer. 'I think it allowed me to think about sustainability differently, not being like, 'Oh my God, it has to be recycled,' but that there can be more things to the story.' she explained during an appointment at her Tribeca home which often doubles as a showroom. Artisanal French Dentelle de Calais-Caudry lace, which is 'certified and protected by the French government' continued to play a starring role in her resort collection, trimming slinky slip dresses made from her favorite Naia Renew fabric, and in delicate floral-patterned skirts. But its influence could also be felt elsewhere, as in the light-as-air cardigan knitted with three different floral patterns inspired by the lace itself, or even in the pair of organic cotton jeans with a 'shredded' detail on the waistband and pockets. They were still beautifully finished, and lined in her trademark grosgrain ribbon, but the layers had been left unfinished, fraying—a kind of proof of the handwork that goes into actually making them. But that doesn't mean McManus has stopped her tireless search for new materials and new sustainable technologies. This season she introduced a recycled polyester curly 'shearling,' used on a very cool—and glamorous—long statement coat; and a biodegradable nylon with a scuba-like feel that became extra-long leggings turned-wardrobe-essential thanks to the addition of belt loops(!). 'Most nylon comes from the fossil fuel industry—specifically coal—and can take anywhere from a hundred to a thousand years if not longer to biodegrade,' she explained. 'This is made from a fruit polymer, so it reacts more like a paper or a cotton, and will biodegrade in five years in an industrial landfill. The mill was started by this woman named Regina and she is amazing, everything she does is sustainable in some way.'

Kaia Gerber Braves the Summer Storm in a Foolproof Outfit Formula
There may be no worse occasion to dress for than a summer storm. But yesterday, Kaia Gerber braved the muggy, post-monsoon conditions in an outfit that could withstand New York's flooding subways and also work for dinner at The Odeon. Gerber and a friend stopped by the Tribeca eatery where she wore a black long-sleeve sweater, scrunched to the elbows. On the bottom, she added some contrast, both in color and sense of occasion, with a low-waisted navy mini skirt. (Clearly, we know where Gerber stands on the black and navy debate.) The model and actor paired her thigh-skimming mini with a pair of tall, calf-high black boots, so shiny they rival SpongeBob Squarepants. She finished off her look with a lowkey black baseball cap with red text, silver hoops, and a leather shoulder bag. JosiahW / BACKGRIDUSA Kaia Gerber isn't the only famous fan of mixing ultra-short hemlines with tall boots. Olivia Rodrigo has taken the outfit formula for a spin on multiple occasions recently, first in Sydney, Australia last October, where she wore a dark brown mini skirt with her buttery Frye boots. This summer, she reminded us that the mismatched look fares just as well with shorts, styling a pair of white polka-dot hotpants with black boots. So, if you're feeling stuck with your styling—or need to come up with an outfit that will survive a summer rainstorm, consider trying out the classic miniskirt and knee-high boots combo for an instant boost.
