The America’s Got Talent Season 19 auditions are well underway, and Heidi Klum is making the most of the opportunity to showcase her fantastic sense of style. She’s bringing out all the colors this spring, and I’m seated!
Heidi Klum Shines in Bright Orange Mini Dress and Exotic Croc Boots
Dressed in a bright orange mini dress, Heidi Klum pulled out all the stops as she headed to the studio in Pasadena, California, for the Friday taping of the AGT auditions.
Only a few can pull off such a loud color. I avoid wearing orange as it’s too flashy for my taste. However, as one might expect, fashion icon and supermodel Heidi Klum carried it off effortlessly.
When Klum arrived at the studio, my eyes were immediately drawn to her. She couldn’t be missed in her vibrant orange mini dress, which featured a baggy sweatshirt-like bodice...

The vivid West African country of Ghana, which was historically used as a prominent port in the British trade of enslaved peoples, is increasingly on the map as a tourist and cultural destination, especially for Black Americans and entertainment industry stars including Kendrick Lamar, Gabrielle Union, Sza, Meek Mill and Chance the Rapper.
This winter season is destined to be especially busy thanks to a pair of festivals, one returning, one new, that focus on using the power of entertainment to reunite the global African diaspora. “People are discovering [Ghana], which is part of the process of reconnecting because it’s in our blood,” says Ghanian American Queen Sugar actor Kofi Siriboe, who has been visiting his ancestral land regularly since 2016.

Burna Boy earned his metaphorical flowers — and his very literal bras — as he ripped through a majestic two-hour set at New York’s Madison Square Garden, the first Nigerian headliner to do so at the famed venue. The first fire-engine red bra was thrust onstage at the beloved Afro-fusionist early in his set as he performed “Rock Your Body,” from his breakthrough album, 2018’s Outside. By the end of the night, no less than six more had been flung at him — at one point, he hung several around his waistline like a utility belt.
