At the 2024 Met Gala, fashion icon Vera Wang captured everyone’s attention with her stunning gown and age-defying appearance. Vera dazzled in a risqué sheer dress with a bold back at age 74 and the internet can’t stop talking about her look.
The 74-year-old designer chose a bold look for the event, wearing a sheer gown she designed herself. The gown’s top was adorned with hand-draped crystals, and the bottom featured a black and white layered tulle skirt with silk petals.
Vera was accompanied by Janelle Monáe, who also made a statement in a custom Vera Wang gown. This unique piece incorporated recycled bottle caps turned into flowers, showcasing Vera’s commitment to creativity and sustainability.
While Vera’s design prowess was on full display, it was her youthful look that left the most significant impression. Admirers praised her timeless style, with one commenting, “My favorite- whimsical and timeless,” and another exclaiming, “The most beautiful mermaid!”
In a similar vein of understated elegance, Pamela Anderson attended the gala sporting a no-makeup makeup look, which also garnered attention. See photos here.

Superstar’s 3-year-old son dies two weeks after tragic river accident
Levi Wright, the young son of rodeo star Spencer Wright, has tragically passed away.
The three-year-old succumbed to a traumatic brain injury sustained from a near-drowning incident on May 21.
Levi was driving a tractor toy and fell into a river. He was rushed to the Salt Lake City hospital where he was hospitalized. Local law enforcement located Levi unconscious around a mile downstream.
Levi was initially declared brain dead and was not expected to survive, but he still showed signs of improvement.
“LEVI WOKE UP! I am shook, we don’t know much but the doctor said it was okay for me to get excited about that and I AM! My baby is so tough!” his mother Kallie Wright posted on Facebook.
Sadly, the results of the MRI done the following day “weren’t good.”
“We’re shattered but it is just images that suggest a certain quality of life. Our real teller of all will be what Levi does over the course of a few days,” Kallie shared.
His fight continued as family and friends prayed for his recovery.
Unfortunately, the family was forced to make a heartbreaking decision.
“After several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world’s best neurologists & millions of prayers we are here in the face of our biggest fear,” she wrote. “Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this. We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go.”
Following a number of scans and tests, as well as consultations with the medical personnel, the family decided to take Levi off life support.
The news of Levi’s tragic passing was confirmed by Mindy Sue Clark, a friend of the family.
“I cannot even begin to explain how hard the last two weeks have been. From the moment my phone rang the night of his accident, to last night receiving the message that he had to go. I don’t want to focus on the bad or sad, even though it feels like someone ripped my heart out and squeezed it right in front of me. I want to focus on the many miracles we all got to bear witness to in those 12 days.
“The most perfect three year old there ever was. So perfect we didn’t get to keep him. This baby boy moved mountains the last 12 days. He brought so many people together. In a world so dark, we got to see light at the hands of a child. He’s everything his mom and dad could’ve wanted him to be.”
We are so very sorry for this devastating loss. Rest in peace, Levi.
