Photo Disclosure Metropolitan Museum of Art At the intersection of fashion, culture, and art, the Met Gala is more than just an event—it’s the pinnacle of the fashion calendar. Traditionally held on the first Monday of May, this year’s gala takes place on May 5th at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Expect a night of sharp style, subtle politics, and powerful storytelling—because the 2025 Met Gala is set to make history. THEME: THE POWER OF BLACK STYLE IN TAILORING Unknown (American). [Studio Portrait], 1940s–50s. Gelatin silver print. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Twentieth-Century Photography Fund, 2015 (2015.330) The theme for 2025 is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” More than a celebration of fashion, it’s a deep exploration of how clothing shapes Black identity. The Costume Institute’s exhibition examines dandyism—a refined, expressive style—as both an aesthetic and a strategic tool used throughout the Black diaspora to navigate social and political spaces. This is fashion as narrative. Fashion as power. Fashion with purpose. CO-HOSTS: STYLE MEETS SUBSTANCE Photos Disclosure Internet Under the long-standing leadership of Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue and architect of the gala, this year’s co-hosts bring gravitas and cultural relevance to the red carpet. Joining her are Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, and A$AP Rocky—figures who seamlessly blend fashion, activism, and artistry. Additionally, basketball icon LeBron James will serve as an honorary co-chair. THE DRESS CODE: “TAILORED FOR YOU” Collage.

According to the Met, the theme was “intentionally crafted to provide guidance while inviting creative interpretation.” Guests are encouraged to channel individuality through the lens of precise tailoring and cultural resonance. WHAT IS THE MET GALA? Photo Disclosure Met Gala Officially known as the Costume Institute Benefit, the Met Gala has been organized and presided over by Anna Wintour since 1995. The event is a fundraising gala that marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibition. This year, the exhibit will be open to the public from May 10th to October 26th. WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE THE MET GALA? That’s the big mystery. Guests are famously banned from using phones or sharing on social media. What we do know? There’s usually a private tour of the exhibition, a gourmet dinner, and a surprise performance—past performers include the likes of Rihanna and Beyoncé. But beyond the glamour, the Met Gala is about storytelling through clothing and connection. WHO GETS INVITED? Photo Disclosure Internet The guest list is curated with surgical precision. Past attendees have included Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa, Nicole Kidman, Lana Del Rey, and Brazilian star Bruna Marquezine. Designers typically attend arm-in-arm with their muses, making the red carpet a moving gallery of inspiration. The Met Gala 2025 isn’t just an event—it’s a moment. A mirror held up to fashion’s past, present, and future. Are you ready to witness history walk the red carpet?

Meet Larissa Cerqueira. From her electrifying DJ sets to her online influence, Larissa is a true powerhouse, captivating audiences around the world. With seven years of experience behind the turntables, Larissa's DJ career reads like a world tour itinerary. From the bustling cities of Brazil to the vibrant stages of Europe and Other countries, she puts on a show wherever she goes. Sharing the stage with renowned artists like Maiara e Maraisa, Gustavo Lima, and Zé Neto e Cristiano. In addition to her musical talent, Larissa's influence extends into the digital realm. With a decade of internet experience, she has built a dedicated fan base by sharing her journey, dreams, and everyday life. From humble beginnings in Uberlândia, Larissa's authenticity and determination shine through. As Larissa embarks on the next chapter of her journey, she remains unstoppable in her pursuit of excellence. With new music and exciting projects underway, her audience eagerly awaits the next evolution of this extraordinary talent. Check out the exclusive interview we conducted with Larissa: 1: How has your journey been over the past seven years as a DJ, from your early steps to major international shows and your residency in Dubai? What were the biggest challenges you faced along the way? It's been incredible and quite challenging. From the beginning, I've always worked alone and been the key to my success. I've always enjoyed taking the lead in everything, from releasing music to booking shows. Many people don't know, but I took the lead on all my international tours. Of course, now I have a team that helps me, people I trust and have invested in to be by my side. Being an international DJ, I needed a team that matched my ambitions. Few people know that during this process, I had to give up a lot to get where I wanted to be. I had to sacrifice special dates, moments with family, and all the fun of my teenage years with friends. With that, I often felt very alone most of the time. However, when I step onto the stage, everything comes to life, and it all becomes worth it. My biggest challenges, without a doubt, were being a DJ and a woman in the music industry, where the majority are men. I've experienced a lot of humiliation and, above all, underestimation in my work. I've earned much less than a man simply because I'm a woman, especially in countries with extremely misogynistic cultures like Dubai, being a Muslim country. I've faced a lot of harassment in various forms because people couldn't differentiate between the personality of the DJ and Larissa, who stands out on stage. 2: You mentioned that you started your career on the internet by sharing your daily life. How did this transition to being a digital influencer affect your DJ career? And how do you balance these two aspects of your professional life? Actually, my career as an influencer came first and was essential in helping my DJ career because people already knew me and admired Larissa Cerqueira. But I confess that balancing these two completely opposite professions has always been a challenge. If you think about it, the DJ lives at night, and the influencer during the day. As an influencer, I need to post and share my life from the moment I wake up until I go to bed, have routines, posting schedules, record advertisements. As a DJ, there's no such thing as routine; things change all the time. One day I'm in Brazil, the next I could be on the other side of the world, in a different time zone, with a different culture. It sounds crazy, but I love it, being able to say good morning in Brazil and good night in Dubai, for example. However, it's extremely challenging to maintain both professions and succeed in both. That's why over these 7 years, I've focused more on my DJ career. Now, I feel it's time to focus more on my career as an influencer because I'm in a different phase. But that doesn't mean I'll abandon music or not leave a legacy because I will, you can count on that. There's a lot coming! 3: Your music released on KondZilla achieved great success with 10 million views in just one year, without any investment. What is the story behind this release, and how do you see the relationship between your online presence and your music career? "The two of us sitting together" came from a joke that we took very seriously. I've always been deeply involved with music and lived for it. I decided to release this song with my best friend, who lacked the encouragement to start this dream of entering the music industry. We decided to release it together to strengthen each other and help each other out. We didn't have much capital, let alone investors. So, I can say that the reason for such success was God first and also the power of our minds in wanting it to succeed so badly. Before releasing it, we visualized a number in our minds and firmly believed, using the law of attraction, that we would reach that number in 1 year. Every day, we did our part, posting the music, asking people to record and share, and so it went. We aimed for the number 7, 7 million in 1 year with no investment, and God was so generous, and the universe surprised us. But don't think it was that simple. We did our part, and I thank the universe for doing its. 4: In addition to your successes as a DJ and influencer, you also mentioned other jobs, such as modeling and portraying Disney characters at children's parties. How have these experiences contributed to your journey and professional growth? It was my start on the internet, and I'm very grateful for that time and phase because they allowed me to get here. It was because of that that I discovered my true calling and my life's purpose, to live for art. Art is as present in my daily life as it is in my life; I'm an artist from the kitchen to the stage. Being an artist is that; you literally live for art and are completely passionate about what you do. 5: You spoke about your humble roots and your determination to pursue your dreams. How have these experiences shaped your approach to life and work? And what advice would you give to those starting out in the music and digital influencer industries? One piece of advice I would give is: trust the process and your dreams; nothing belongs to us more than our dreams. This is so real! And never compare yourself to others; people show on the internet what they want you to see, much of it isn't what it seems. Hardly anyone shows the process behind it all and their daily struggles, and especially the price to pay for those dreams or achievements. They're just concerned with showing their results and showcasing their best version. The fact that I come from a humble and simple background was crucial in shaping who I am. It's important to always remember your roots and the reason why you started all of this. My foundation being God first and my family helped me never to go against my principles and to respect everyone's space without stepping on anyone to achieve my goals. 6: How do you see the future of your career, both in music and as an influencer? Is there any specific project or goal you would like to achieve in the coming years? I believe I still have a long way to go, but I am very grateful for everything I have achieved so far. There's still a lot more to come, and I confess I'm in the best phase of my life right now. Focused on my work more than ever, but primarily on myself. I'm in a process of discovering my best version, physically and mentally; I'm rediscovering myself, and this process is very exciting. For many years, I put my work first and hid behind the DJ personality. Now, I feel it's time to focus more on myself and show that to everyone. I want people to know the real Larissa, not just the DJ or the influencer, but the girl who came from the countryside and believed her dreams were possible and went out there and made them happen. However, I want to show my essence, what is most precious inside me. I'm excited to show this new chapter to everyone.

Photo Disclosure Mugler On April 28, 2025, Beyoncé launched her much-anticipated Cowboy Carter Tour at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles with a performance that fused emotional depth, cultural homage, and high fashion. The tour, inspired by her Grammy-winning album Cowboy Carter, celebrates the overlooked roots of Black artistry in country music, blending gospel, soul, R&B, and pop into a genre-defying visual experience. Photo Disclosure Mugler Opening the night with a powerful statement, Beyoncé appeared in a custom white leather ensemble by Mugler, featuring a sharply tailored jacket, a corseted bodysuit, and matching buckled chaps — all adorned with a jaw-dropping 1,740 laser-cut bonded fringes. The look captured the essence of “rodeo futurism”: a visionary take on Western aesthetics with a high-fashion edge, balancing strength and sensuality. Photo Disclosure Mugler The stage design echoed the grandeur of the show, with Beyoncé riding a golden mechanical horse, a massive illuminated horseshoe arch, and suspended aerial choreography that stunned the audience. Heartwarming moments included performances with her daughters: 13-year-old Blue Ivy joined for five numbers, while 7-year-old Rumi made her stage debut during the tender track “Protector,” adding a personal touch to the spectacle. Photo Disclosure Mugler Fashion is front and center in this tour. Beyoncé reportedly invested over $2.7 million in costumes, curating a wardrobe that reimagines Western fashion through a global lens. In addition to Mugler, the show features custom looks from Alexander McQueen, Chloé, Isabel Marant, and more — transforming the stage into a runway that tells a story of legacy, rebellion, and reinvention. Photo Disclosure Mugler With dates across North America and Europe through July, the Cowboy Carter Tour isn’t just a concert — it’s a cultural event. Beyoncé continues to redefine what it means to be a pop icon, using fashion and music not only to entertain but to honor history, challenge norms, and set the tone for what’s next.

Photo Disclosure Press / Internet A wave of concern swept across Europe this Monday, April 28, 2025, after a massive blackout hit several countries, including Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, Andorra, and Belgium. Essential services such as hospitals, telecommunications, public transportation, and power grids were compromised, causing major disruptions and paralysis across multiple regions. Amid the international repercussions, followers of the spiritualist Chaline Grazik — known as the “Seer of the Stars” and famous for her impressive 99.9% accuracy rate — recalled a prediction she made months before the event. On November 9, 2024, during one of her broadcasts, Chaline stated: “The spiritual world spoke to me about a financial collapse. They clarified that there would be a blackout lasting three to five days, accompanied by the emergence of a new financial currency.” Photo Disclosure Press / Internet The accuracy of her prediction has drawn even more attention, especially given the current scenario where the European blackout raises concerns about economic and political impacts. Local authorities remain on high alert and are working to restore services, while the cause of the incident is still under investigation. This episode further reinforces Chaline Grazik’s notoriety, as she continues to accumulate impressive predictions that materialize, strengthening her credibility among the public.

Photo disclosure KHLOUD FOODS Khloé Kardashian is once again proving she’s more than just a reality TV icon — she’s a savvy entrepreneur with her finger on the pulse of what consumers want. With the launch of Khloud Protein Popcorn , she’s serving up a snack that blends nostalgia, flavor, and function — all without compromise. “I just wanted something that tasted great and made me feel good about what I was eating,” Khloé tells. Khloud debuts in three flavors — Olive Oil & Sea Salt , Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn , and White Cheddar — all seed-oil free, non-GMO, gluten-free, kosher, and packed with 7 grams of complete protein per serving. The protein boost comes from what Khloé calls Khloud Dust — a unique blend of milk proteins and seasonings designed to deliver on taste and nutrition. But Khloud is more than just a clean label. It’s a deeply personal project. “I’ve always loved a kid’s menu. That’s just who I am! So creating something I would genuinely snack on — something comforting but still smart — that was the goal,” she laughs. Photo Disclosure KHLOUD FOODS Motherhood, Mindfulness, and a Shift in Perspective Behind the branding is a woman transformed by motherhood. As the mother of 7-year-old True and 2-year-old Tatum, Khloé says her priorities have evolved — and so has her approach to health and nutrition. “I’m sure I drank water before kids, but I never tracked it,” she jokes. “Now, I feel like I have to stay alive forever, so I really think about what’s in my kitchen. There’s so much we can’t control, but what we eat? That’s one thing we can.” The motivation for a protein-packed snack also came from personal frustration. “I was hitting up fitness stores looking for protein on-the-go, and everything either tasted awful or was full of junk. I just wanted something clean and delicious that could help me hit my protein goals. So I made it — selfishly!” she says with a grin. Photo Disclosure KHLOUD FOODS Strong Over Skinny In a culture slowly shifting away from diet culture extremes, Khloé is proudly embracing a new narrative: one rooted in strength and balance. “I’m not about being skinny anymore — I want to be strong and feel good. And that means protein. But I’m not about to sit down and eat steak and eggs all day, so popcorn felt like the perfect vehicle.” Photo Disclosure KHLOUD FOODS Have you always been health-conscious, or was this a recent evolution? “It’s been gradual. I thought I was healthy before kids — then I had them, and everything shifted. They made me question everything I eat because now, what I do affects them too.” Why popcorn as the hero product? “Because popcorn is universal. Everyone loves it. It brings back memories — movies, childhood, fun moments. It’s emotional. But I wanted it to do something for your body too.” Do you plan to expand the Khloud line? “Definitely. But one step at a time. I want to listen to customer feedback, perfect these flavors, and then maybe explore other protein-forward snack options. But the DNA will stay the same: clean, craveable, and purposeful.”

Photografer: Christopher Nowak After facing yet another episode of online shaming, the artist reaffirms her freedom to be and announces a name change: from now on, Maia Marcella Hazel. Known for her artistic and activist work, Maia Marcella now officially embraces the name Hazel — a gesture that symbolizes not just a new beginning, but also a powerful response to the intolerance she continues to face on social media. The change comes in the wake of another wave of virtual attacks, this time triggered by a metaphor the artist used about death. “I am a soul,” says Maia Hazel. “I don’t identify with the cis or binary gender. I’m queer, pansexual — but above all, I’m free.” Hazel — the color of eyes that hold storms and visions — is now an essential part of her public identity. More than a marketing strategy, the artist describes adopting the new name as an intimate act, a mark of resistance and rebirth. Photografer: Christopher Nowak When targeted by attacks, Maia Hazel calls out the superficial way in which deep topics are still handled in the country. “I make mistakes like everyone else. But some people mess up with a mic in their hand and still think they’ve got the moral high ground to teach the world,” she quips. “Death? Death doesn’t die. It becomes music, film, movement. It becomes a name.” In both words and presence, Maia Hazel echoes literary voices like Fernando Pessoa — “To die is only to be unseen” — and Clarice Lispector — “Death is a state of mind” — to emphasize that her message is one of rebirth, not violence. The artist also criticized parts of the media that continue to reduce her to labels and titles that never represented who she is. “It’s painful to witness arrogance disguised as journalism. When you politely and lovingly ask for a correction in a headline, the answer comes back as stones,” she notes. By officially adopting the name Maia Marcella Hazel, the artist reaffirms her commitment to freedom, art, and authenticity. “Now, I’m in control of my narrative,” she concludes. And she leaves a warning: the intensity in her eyes — as Hilda Hilst might say — is only growing stronger.

Photo Disclosure Press Visionary entrepreneur and international investor, Lucio Santana is the founder of Royal Mortgage USA, a leading mortgage company with operations across multiple states in the U.S. Born in Londrina (Paraná) and raised in Campo Limpo Paulista (São Paulo), Lucio embodies the story of a Brazilian who didn’t just dream big — he made it happen with courage, discipline, and a clear sense of purpose. After achieving the so-called “American Dream,” Lucio quickly made a name for himself in the highly competitive U.S. real estate market. Within just six months, he became a partner at the company where he began his journey, and not long after, he launched his own firm. Through Royal Mortgage USA, he has helped more than 2,000 families achieve homeownership, all with a human-centered approach that prioritizes real needs and fosters long-term relationships. But Lucio Santana is more than just a successful businessman — he is an impact-driven entrepreneur. As an angel investor in both Brazil and the U.S., he actively supports sectors like education, technology, and personal development. He is also the visionary behind the Unstoppables and Unstoppable Entrepreneur Journey movements — global communities that empower men and entrepreneurs through support, connection, and growth strategies. Based in the United States, his ecosystem is designed to inspire and create transformation — no matter where in the world you are. Photo Disclosure Press Author of the books Self-Gestation, To Keep Growing, and The Unstoppable Entrepreneur’s Journey, Lucio Santana shares his life experience with authenticity and inspiration. His mission goes far beyond business — it’s about transforming lives. In his own words: “The Lucio from 2022 — the one who thought he wasn’t capable of doing so many things — doesn’t exist anymore. For one simple reason: I started doing. Without fear, without worrying about what people would think of me. I started taking risks. I started acting. Executing. Guys, knowledge alone isn’t enough — you have to put something into action. Grab your notebook, grab a piece of paper, write it down.” Lucio Santana represents a new generation of leaders — those who lead by example, act with purpose, and build a living legacy that impacts the present and resonates far into the future.

Photo Disclosure Press Vanessa Panisset, known for the hit Deixa Baixo , turned up the Easter heat with a bold, attitude-filled themed photoshoot.

I don’t force it — I just have fun being who I am,” said Vanessa, reflecting on the concept behind the shoot, which celebrates freedom, empowerment, and feminine authenticity. With a pop and provocative aesthetic, Vanessa has been making waves in the Brazilian music scene — not only for the streaming success of Deixa Baixo , but also for her bold and performative image. “Pop is a space for expression, and I am that woman: free, sensual, artistic, and full of layers,” she added.
