In a moment that promises to be nothing short of electrifying, Usher—the GRAMMY-winning, chart-dominating megastar—is bringing his dazzling Rendezvous in Paris concert to the big screen. Kicking off September 12th, global audiences will have a front-row seat to this larger-than-life performance, thanks to a partnership between AMC Theatres, Trafalgar Releasing, and Sony Music Vision.

It’s a sensual, high-energy spectacle that distills the essence of Usher’s sold-out Las Vegas residencies and infuses it with the enchanting allure of Paris. Think of it as a love letter to both his fans and the City of Light. Set to the rhythm of his biggest hits like "Yeah!," "My Boo," and "Love in This Club," the film captures Usher at his peak—a celebration of his 30-year career complete with jaw-dropping fashion, state-of-the-art special effects, and choreography that will leave you breathless. The Paris shows became a convergence of music, fashion, and art, with Usher blending his signature style with Parisian flair. The result? A spectacle you absolutely cannot miss, whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the party.

If anyone can translate the electric energy of a live Usher concert into a cinematic experience, it’s this powerhouse team. A Career Like No Other Usher has always been more than just a pop star. With over 80 million records sold worldwide, eight GRAMMY Awards, and countless other accolades, he’s an artist who redefines what it means to be an entertainer. Whether it’s his unforgettable Super Bowl LVIII halftime show or his philanthropic work through the New Look Foundation, Usher’s influence is undeniable. As a Global Citizen Ambassador, he’s taken his talents from the concert stage to world stages, performing for causes that aim to defeat poverty and promote equity. Now, on the cusp of his 30th anniversary in the entertainment industry, Usher is not just looking back—he’s launching forward. With a new album, Coming Home , on the horizon and his Super Bowl performance still echoing in our collective memory, Rendezvous in Paris is the perfect prelude to what promises to be another monumental chapter in his storied career. So, mark your calendars. September 12-15, the world is going to Paris—through the eyes of Usher. Tickets and details can be found at UsherinParis.com.

When Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour finally returns to Wembley Stadium this weekend, it’s not just the music we’re buzzing about—it’s the outfits. If you’re a Swiftie, you know attending a Taylor concert is basically a rite of passage, and let’s be honest, half the fun is planning what to wear. Each of Taylor’s albums isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a fully realized aesthetic, with its own signature style. From the sparkly, retro vibe of 1989 to the dark, moody allure of Reputation, Taylor has always been a fashion chameleon, and her fans are more than happy to play along. The Eras Tour is an event like no other—a chance to dive into every phase of Taylor’s career, and what better way to do that than by dressing in a look inspired by your favourite era? Whether you’re feeling the country-pop nostalgia of Fearless or the wistful, woodsy vibe of Folklore, there’s a perfect outfit just waiting for you to wear to Wembley. And let’s be real, with all the hype around this tour, your look is going to need to be on point. In this guide, we’ll break down the essential pieces for each Taylor Swift era—because, yes, the clothes you wear to this concert matter that much. Think fringe and rhinestones for Fearless, pastel and sparkles for Lover, and plenty of black for Reputation (duh). Whether you’re going full glam or keeping it low-key, these Taylor-inspired looks will have you ready to strut into Wembley like you’re on Taylor’s stage. So, grab your favourite lipstick, lace up those boots, and get ready to channel your inner Taylor—because at the Eras Tour, your outfit is practically part of the show. Fearless Era Let's talk Fearless. This was the era where Taylor cemented herself as the queen of country-pop crossover, and her style was all about those golden, all-American vibes. To nail this look, go for gold—literally. A gold dress with fringe details will make you feel like you’re stepping right out of the "Love Story" music video. Pair it with some rhinestone-studded cowgirl boots (because Fearless without boots? We think not), and top it off with Taylor’s signature curls. Don’t forget to draw a ‘13’ on your hand—it’s practically a requirement. Speak Now Era Even if Speak Now only has one song on the setlist, that doesn’t mean we’re not giving it the love it deserves. For this era, purple is your power colour. Think voluminous, fairytale dresses that scream “enchanted evening,” or if you’re not into dresses, a blouse with ruffles or puff sleeves will give you that princessy vibe. Finish with a bold red lip, a high ponytail, and maybe even write a lyric down your arm—just like Taylor did during her original Speak Now Tour. Red Era Red is all about making a statement—and that statement is, well, red. This is the era of high-waisted shorts, striped tops, and Taylor’s iconic heart-shaped sunglasses. The look is effortlessly cool, with a touch of that 2012 hipster vibe. If you really want to go all out, throw in a red scarf (yes, that one) and top it off with a bold red lip and winged eyeliner. You’ll be the most fashionable Swiftie in the crowd, guaranteed. 1989 Era Now we’re talking 1989, the era of Taylor’s full-blown pop transformation. This look is sleek, stylish, and a little bit retro. Think crop tops, high-waisted skirts, and a classic red lip. If you’re feeling extra, add a sequin bomber jacket for that extra pop of sparkle. And don’t forget the sunglasses—because what’s 1989 without a pair of cool shades? Reputation Era Ah, Reputation. This is Taylor’s dark, edgy phase, and it’s all about making a statement in black. You’ll want something that feels powerful and a little dangerous, like a hooded bodysuit or anything that’s dripping in attitude. Snake accessories are non-negotiable, and a dark, vampy lip will have you channelling Taylor’s no-nonsense energy. Trust us, you’ll be Ready For It. Lover Era Lover is Taylor at her most romantic, and the fashion reflects that. Think pastel everything, with plenty of sparkles and pinks. A glittery blazer or a soft, ombré dress will have you looking like you stepped right out of the “Lover” music video. The key here is sweetness—so go for soft waves, light makeup, and a pop of colour on your nails. Folklore & Evermore Eras For Folklore and Evermore, it’s all about that cosy, cabin-in-the-woods vibe. Flowing dresses in earth tones, florals, and plenty of layers will have you channelling Taylor’s most introspective eras. If you’re leaning more Evermore, go for a plaid pattern or a bohemian maxi dress, and don’t forget to braid your hair—it’s all about that effortless, natural look. Midnights Era Midnights is the era of glitz, glam, and late-night vibes. Think sequins, tinsel, and anything that catches the light. A multi-chrome tinsel coat or a navy blue sequin dress will have you sparkling like the midnight sky. Finish the look with shimmery makeup and you’re all set to dance the night away. The Tortured Poets Department Era Finally, we have The Tortured Poets Department, the latest chapter in Taylor’s ever-evolving story. This era is all about muted tones, vintage-inspired pieces, and a touch of old-world drama. Think black and white with ruffles, lace, and Victorian details. A ruffled blouse or a dress with a high neckline will give you that TTPD vibe—add a bow for a nod to Taylor’s iconic style, and you’re good to go. There you have it—your ultimate guide to dressing like a Taylor Swift era at Wembley. Whether you’re all about the country chic of Fearless or the brooding darkness of Reputation, there’s a Taylor-inspired look that’s perfect for you. And remember, the most important thing is to have fun with it—because at the end of the day, the Eras Tour is all about celebrating the music, the memories, and yes, the fashion.
