Style Solange: MET Best Dressed 2017 (Duana) Well. I mean, of course it’s not surprising that Solange is Best Dressed.

Music Drake and Rihanna: awkward exes Last summer, I would have been squealing at news that Drake and Rihanna attended a child’s birthday party together. Sure, I’m easily excitable, but I was still holding on to hope that Aubrey and Robyn would get their sh-t together so they could get together. Do I get By Kathleen • Apr 11, 2017 10:48 am
