The best celebrity beauty from this month
We've seen the beauty realm evolve in a multitude of ways over the past decade. Long gone are the days when celebrity beauty ops would be dedicated solely to the red carpet with techniques used often obscured from the public eye. We've fast moved on to an aspirational age of social media: how-to tutorials by the professional artists themselves, established content creators sharing their own cosmetic hacks and even full-face routines by some of the biggest A-listers. And we've all emerged the better for it.
It's undeniable—the likes of Instagram and TikTok have given us all a space for unabashed self-expression. And for some, an artfully made-up mien or a customised change of talons are the perfect canvases to do so. Pop culture has had significant influence in the sphere. Experimentation is abound, with novice creators and popular personalities alike attempting to ace a make-up look that is all the rage or share a thematic one-off look for others to recreate.
Then begs the question: how do we sieve out the best of all? Make-up trends surely begin somewhere, and learning from our seasoned celebrities is never a bad place to start if you're feeling overwhelmed. Vogue Singapore might be of help to you on that front—with our monthly curation of captivating beauty moments, courtesy of our favourite faces from Hollywood, the K-pop scene and more, just for that fresh jazz of inspiration.
May presented no shortage of beauty moments to marvel at. Celebrity glamour was dialled up to full volume, courtesy of the Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival both taking place this month. At the Met, glossy lips and intricate hair details reigned supreme, as seen on the likes of Doechii, Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya. Following that, it was all about fresh radiance as celebrities decamped to Europe for spring, from Bella Hadid's newly debuted blonde locks at Cannes, to the polished updos seen on Lupita Nyong'o and Margaret Qualley at Chanel's Cruise 2025/26 show on Lake Como.

Did we expect anything less than a complete bombshell turnout at Cannes from Bella Hadid? No—but the model still managed to surprise by stepping out with freshly dyed blonde locks. A bronzed base complements her new honey tones. Getty

Newly minted Chanel ambassador Lupita is the picture of vibrancy at the brand's cruise show on Lake Como, Italy. The effect comes courtesy of her berry-pink eyelids and pout, not to mention her delicately embellished updo. @saythename_17

They're officially back—ahead of their new album Happy Burstday 's release, Seventeen dropped a series of arresting teaser photos featuring their members. Here, Hoshi stands out with ice-hued hair and matching inner eye corners, finished off with a dusting of blush across the nose bridge. Getty
4 / 14 Alex Consani
Coordinating with the crystals encrusting her Swarovski gown—18,400 of them, no less—was Alex Consani's embellished peepers at the Met Gala. Below her signature bleached brows, a string of crystals neatly frames her kohl-lined cat eye. @imaanhammam
5 / 14 Imaan Hammam
There's nothing like a blowout to channel vintage glamour—and model Imaan Hammam got the brief. Replete with a chocolate brown shade by her hair stylist Hos Hounkpatin, it was a look completed by deep bronzer and glossy, lined lips. @sydney_sweeney
6 / 14 Sydney Sweeney
The Met Gala was a showcase for intricate hair details, and Sydney Sweeney nailed the trend with her artfully plastered curls. Hyper-long lashes and a jet black smokey eye add instant drama. @makeupbychelseax
7 / 14 Doechii
Blink and you'll miss it. It was all about subtle touches for Doechi's Met Gala glam, from a subtly embossed Louis Vuitton logo atop her cheek to her boldly lined pout. @zoeydeutch
8 / 14 Zoey Deutch
Zoey Deutch offers up a masterclass in Old Hollywood elegance at Cannes. Cropped curls, parted and secured in place, alongside her stunning red lip do the trick. Reach for her lip pencil, Chanel's Le Crayon Lèvres In 184 Rouge Intense, to emulate its va-va-voom effect. @ninapark
9 / 14 Hoyeon Jung
It's not hard to cast a radiant impression when you're Hoyeon Jung. For Louis Vuitton's recent Cruise show, make-up artist Nina Park took to the actress and model's mien with a warm palette, while hair stylist Hyungsun Ju tended to her casually chic mane. @ninapark
10 / 14 Laufey
In a look that's as delicately sublime as any of her songs, Laufey sports subtle pearl-like accoutrements atop face-framing tendrils while attending the Gold Gala. @redvelvet.smtown
11 / 14 Seulgi of Red Velvet
Matchy-matchy. Pair wine-coloured talons with a vivid crimson lip, a la Red Velvet's Seulgi, seen here in a teaser photo ahead of her newly released comeback with bandmate Irene. @ariana_greenblatt
12 / 14 Ariana Greenblatt
Bobs have been all the rage as of late, and actress Ariana Greenblatt is yet another celebrity making the case for the chic cut. On the red carpet at Cannes, it's all about insouciant texture for her cropped locks, while sporting dusty rose shades across her lips and cheeks. @simoneashley
13 / 14 Simone Ashley
Springtime in the South of France gives Simone Ashley the perfect excuse to channel her 'inner Swiss mountain girl dreams', with a classic beauty base and scarf-wrapped 'do. @tyronmachhausen
14 / 14 Margaret Qualley
A charming updo never disappoints. While attending Chanel's Cruise show in Italy, Margaret Qualley's was marked out with thick tendrils falling to one side of her face. Bonus points for a glowing complexion, accentuated by Chanel's Les Beiges Healthy Golden Glow Powder in Éclat Du Soir.

BTS member Suga discharged from South Korean military service
K-pop group BTS member Suga finished his military tenure as a social service agent on June 21. PHOTO: AGUSTD/INSTAGRAM SEOUL - K-pop group BTS member Suga was discharged from the South Korean military on June 21 , the seventh and final member to complete the country's mandatory national service amid expectations of the band's comeback from a hiatus. Suga finished his military tenure as a social service agent on June 21 with little fanfare as fans looked forward to his reunion with the rest of the band, a K-pop sensation since it started up in 2013. 'We confirm that Suga effectively completed his alternative service on June 18 by using his remaining leave. His official discharge date is June 21,' BTS' label, Big Hit Music, said in a statement. Unlike with his BTS bandmates, there was no public event planned to mark Suga's release because of overcrowding concerns. The seven members of the group put their global music careers on hold in 2022 to begin their military service, starting with Jin in December that year. South Korea's mandatory national service can be for terms of up to 18 months. Shortly after his official discharge, Suga posted a message on fan community platform Weverse, saying he was 'sorry for the disappointment and concern caused by what happened last year', and also apologising to his bandmates. In 2024, Suga was fined 15 million won (S$14,037) by a court for drunk driving while on an electric scooter. The group is expected to hold its largest-ever world tour in 2026, an NH Securities entertainment analyst said in a report. Entertainment group HYBE, which manages BTS, is closely monitored by securities companies. Details of a reunion have not been released.

"Don't bluff lah" - Skepticism arises as TikToker posts video of him catching 800g crab at Yishun Dam
Photo: CRABHUNTERSG TIKTOK SINGAPORE: A video showing a man digging up a large crab at Yishun Dam has gone viral online, racking up over 633,000 views on TikTok and drawing a flurry of reactions ranging from admiration to skepticism and criticism. The video, originally posted on March 29 by TikTok user @crabhuntersg — who identifies himself as 'Ah Toan' — was later reposted to Facebook by SG Daily, sparking renewed interest and heated discussion. In the clip, Ah Toan is seen spotting a sizable crab buried in the sand before digging it out and grabbing it by its pincers. He then tosses it onto the sand, picks it up again, this time by the back of its shell, and displays it to the camera. The crab, reportedly weighing about 800 grams, appeared unharmed. While some viewers were impressed by the dramatic catch, others questioned its authenticity. Comments flooded in, with many speculating the video had been staged. 'Don't bluff lah… you put the crab there,' one commenter wrote. Another added, 'I recognise this crab!! It was still at Sheng Siong Supermarket at Yishun yesterday in the morning.' Critics also took aim at the motivation behind posting such content. One Facebook user commented: 'These people have a bird's brain, wanting to post everything. If you want to catch the crab, just do it and keep quiet.' Despite the backlash, Ah Toan appears unfazed. His TikTok profile features a string of similar videos documenting his crab-hunting excursions across Singapore. The bio on his account simply reads: 'I like hunting crab.'

Sinner and singer Bocelli strike up partnership for new single
Jun 8, 2025; Paris, FR; Jannik Sinner of Italy returns a shot during the men's singles final against Carlos Alcaraz of Spain on day 15 at Roland Garros Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Susan Mullane-Imagn Images/File Photo REUTERS Sinner and singer Bocelli strike up partnership for new single World number one Jannik Sinner has formed a new doubles partnership but the duo will be battling for chart success rather than Grand Slam titles after the Italian released a single with compatriot and opera tenor Andrea Bocelli on Friday. The three-time Grand Slam champion Sinner promoted the song titled 'Polvere e Gloria' or 'Dust and Glory' on Instagram. The video features footage from the pair's childhoods and more recent clips of the singer and Sinner, clutching a racket and tennis ball, in front of a piano in Bocelli's home in Tuscany. Sinner's speeches form part of the song, which is in Italian and English, with Bocelli in full flow. "Every life is a potential work of art: each of us bears the sweet responsibility of nurturing our talents in the daily acrobatics of living, pursuing our dreams while remaining steadfastly true to our values," the pair wrote on Instagram. "This duet is such a bold leap that it has ignited our passion, born of shared and unwavering desire to express our deep belief that nothing is impossible." Sinner, the U.S. Open and Australian Open champion, said he was honoured to be part of the project with Bocelli, describing the singer as a "unique and extraordinary voice" and "a flag for our country in the rest of the world". "I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs. It's extremely moving," the 23-year-old added. Sinner, who was beaten by Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in an epic French Open final earlier this month, lost in the last 16 of the Halle Open on Thursday in a blow to his preparations for Wimbledon which gets underway on June 30.
