Inside Asmaa Galal's ultra-glam 30th birthday party
The Egyptian actress Asmaa Galal just celebrated her 30th birthday, and let's just say, she did not come to play when it came down to partying.
ICYMI, the star, born on May 22, 1995, recently turned another year around the sun looking glammed in a sparkly dress. Surrounded by her close friends and family, Asmaa was clearly enjoying her celebration filled with cheers and happy energy.
But for the celebration, she fully entered in her glam mode, wearing not one, but two stunning outfits.
How did the 30-year-old queen celebrate her b-day, you ask?
Well, she started with a cute reel on Instagram, where she was seen wearing a short pink bubble dress with subtle clean girl makeup that highlighted her features (gorgeousss!).
In the short but surely adorable video, she was seen dancing in front of a coquette-styled birthday cake decorated with candles. She captioned the reel: 'It's my birthday!'

But she didn't stop there. As night took over, she switched into a glittery, short dress that shimmered under the lights—literally the birthday dress of our dreams.
The real talk of the evening? Was how the energy went from cute to full-on iconic when Asmaa made her entrance popping out of a giant cardboard cake (yes, really) and hitting the dance floor like the main character she is.
Adding more to the iconic night, one of the most memorable moments from Asmaa Galal's birthday yesterday was the appearance of a huge gorilla in the photos too!

Japan's high-tech sunscreens tap into skincare craze
When YouTuber Hannah Price set out to compare Japanese and Australian sunscreen, she wasn't expecting her deep dive into the subject to rack up over two million views. The huge number of people poring over Price's video shows the growing interest in skincare products from Japan, much like the K-beauty phenomenon from South Korea. It includes sun protection, increasingly recognised as a daily essential by influencers who want to shield their skin from ageing and enthuse about the lightweight texture of Japanese brands. Companies that have perfected their secret formulas want to capitalise on booming demand, including by building factories overseas and selling to Japan's record influx of foreign tourists. Price, 32, fell into a "year-long rabbit hole" while making her video, learning about everything from SPF science to cultural attitudes to sun exposure. "I always loved Japanese sunscreen, since I first moved to Japan in 2012," she told the media at her studio in Tokyo. "I remember trying it for the first time and thinking, 'this is so much better than anything I tried in Australia'," her home country where sun cream felt "thick, sticky, greasy". "I thought that the video would be popular... but I wasn't expecting it to reach as far" as it did, Price said. The habit of regular sunscreen use is spreading, especially among younger generations, said Takuya Wada, who works in marketing for Japanese chemical and cosmetics firm Kao. "There are no borders when it comes to obtaining information on social media, especially Instagram and TikTok," he said, adding that influencer posts have a "very large" impact on global sunscreen sales. This photo shows Takashi Fukui speaking in an interview at the company's research lab in Tokyo. AFP 'Beautifully white' The global skincare market was worth more than $115 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to $194 billion by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights. A boom in celebrity skincare brands has contributed to the industry's growth -- with A-listers like Kylie Jenner using social media to share their beauty routines, including sun protection, with hundreds of millions of followers. When it comes to sunscreen, country-specific regulations mean no single company dominates the field, as the entry barriers to new markets are higher. Kao's main sunscreen brand Biore UV is ranked 10th worldwide for sales, and second in Asia -- competing with the likes of L'Oreal and Beiersdorf, and Japanese rivals such as Shiseido. The company wants sales from sun protection to reach 35 billion yen ($240 million) in 2027, up 1.6 times from 2023. It plans to boost overseas production by opening three new sunscreen factories, in Indonesia, Brazil and Germany. It is technically difficult to develop formulas that block the rays effectively with a smooth texture, as demanded by Japanese consumers, said Takashi Fukui, research and development director for Kao skincare products. But using scientific know-how to strike this tricky balance is what makes Kao "different from other European or American makers". In Japan, a cultural obsession with light skin dates back to the sixth century and using white powder imported from China later became a status symbol among nobility. Fair skin indicated a life away from outdoor labour and sun exposure, and an old Japanese proverb says "white skin covers the seven flaws". In the 1990s, people began using sunscreen or other cosmetics to avoid tanning -- a trend dubbed "bihaku", or beautifully white. These days, Japanese women use sunscreen as everyday protection against sunspots and ageing, caused when UV rays penetrate into the skin, said Fukui. Winter sun Tans have long been fashionable in Western countries, but awareness of skin cancer risks is rising, making sunscreen an important healthcare product there, Fukui said. One fan of Japanese brands is Thai skincare influencer Suari Tasanakulpan, who calls them "lightweight" compared to "heavy and uncomfortable" Western offerings. "There are always new technologies and innovative textures that are often ahead of other countries," the 40-year-old, who reviews sunscreens on YouTube, told the media. At an outlet of drugstore chain MatsukiyoCocokara in Tokyo's Shibuya district, around 90 sunscreen products are lined up on the shelves. "Sales of sunscreen is improving year on year," said Takeshi Otsuki, deputy manager of the chain's cosmetic division. "More people are using sunscreen on a daily basis these days, so their needs are becoming more diverse," he said. The number of male customers is also increasing, and Japanese sunscreens are very popular with overseas tourists who buy them in multipacks, Otsuki said. While summer is high season, sunscreen is popular year-round, because Japan has a "relatively high number of sunny days in the winter, and the sunlight hours are long". YouTuber Price now uses both Japanese and Australian sunscreen, depending on the occasion. She sees the rise in education about sunscreens worldwide as a win-win situation. It "means you're going to be better protected in general, which is great for everyone", she said. Agence France Presse

Bollywood diva Kriti Sanon vibes to Salman Khan's 90s hit iconic songs
Actress Kriti Sanon is a '90s baby' for life as she was seen grooving to some of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's iconic tracks such as 'Janam Samjha Karo' and 'Pyar Dilon Ka Mela Hai.' Kriti took to Instagram, where she shared a video of herself getting all dolled up in her vanity van. While getting her make-up done the actress was seen mouthing the lines of the 1999 banger track 'Janam samjha karo' picturised on Salman and Urmila Matondkar. Kriti was heard saying: 'I love this song' as the 1999 song played in the backdrop. She added: 'What music yaar!' The song then changes to 'Pyar Dilon Ka Mela Hai' from the 2000 film 'Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge' starring Salman and Karisma Kapoor. Kriti says 'All songs are amazing' as she discussed the film with her make-up artist. For the caption, the actress wrote: '90's Baby for Life!! Part 1.' On the work front, the actress is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film 'Tere Ishk Mein' with Dhanush. 'Tere Ishk Mein' is said to be a spiritual successor to the world of 'Raanjhanaa,' as it delves deeper into themes of unrequited love, longing, and emotional conflict. It was in January, when Kriti was confirmed to star opposite Tamil star Dhanush in 'Tere Ishk Mein.' The film reunites the 'Raanjhanaa' team as Aanand L Rai, Dhanush, and the Oscar-winning music composer, A.R. Rahman, are joining forces after their last venture, 'Atrangi Re.' Gulshan Kumar, T-Series, and Colour Yellow present 'Tere Ishk Mein,' produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma, produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar. The film, directed by Aanand L Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma, is an A.R. Rahman musical with lyrics by Irshad Kamil. The film is scheduled to release worldwide in Hindi and Tamil on November 28, 2025. Talking about Kriti, she was last seen in the film 'Do Patti,' a drama thriller directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi. It also stars Kajol and Shaheer Sheikh. The film tells the tale of twin sisters. Their carefully constructed lives are shattered when a police inspector uncovers a web of deceit that threatens them. Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan and Kriti came together for a fun social media post recently. The two actors shared a video on Instagram, where Varun was seen holding a glass of chocolate shake in his hand, while Kriti was having something much less appetizing - a matcha drink. As Varun offered Kriti a sip from his chocolate shake, the dive ended up finishing almost half of his drink in one go. This left Varun extremely sad. The text on the video said, 'What she means when she says one sip.' 'Matcha is Chocolate is everything! Who can relate to that?', the caption read. As soon as the clip surfaced on social media it went viral. The netizens also flooded the comment section with some interesting remarks. Varun and Kriti are expected to be next seen sharing screen space in 'Bhediya 2'. The project will mark their third professional association after 'Bhediya' and 'Diwale.' Indo-Asian News Service
