South African singer-songwriter, Tyla, left everyone stunned when she rocked up to the Met Gala in a Balmain ‘sand dress’.
She then had people cackling when she required escorts to lift her up the Met’s steps.

Kim Kardashian’s tiny waist
Kim Kardashian also seemingly had a few issues with her outfit at the Met Gala.
With her waist cinched in very tight, it appeared as though she was struggling to breathe on the carpet.

Taylor Swift does it with a broken heart
Taylor Swift has kicked off the European leg of her Eras Tour in Paris and a highlight was her performance of one of her new songs, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.
Ironically, the song is about her performing on tour while dealing with a heartbreak, but Swift pulled out all the stops to make it fun.

Spectacular light show
A hiker made the trek to see Acatenango Volcano in Guatemala and witnessed volcanic lightning.
The hiker said they had never experienced anything like this and described it as “surreal”.
@laurraverra Replying to @bina here’s what it sounded like 😊 other people in our group got different angles of the shot so here’s all of those combined! We were all in SHOCK ⚡️
Orange-picking pup
This very helpful dog donned an orange rain jacket to pick some fruit and plop them in his basket.
It looks as though the dog takes time to pick the right piece off the tree and then will gently place it in the basket, leaving some people on TikTok obsessed.

Swimming lessons
A mother bear has done the responsible thing and tried to give her cubs a swimming lesson, in someone’s pool.
The cubs looked scared and didn’t get in the water, but surely it’s only a matter of time before they do.
Pot throwing
A Corfu Easter tradition went awry last weekend when a pot was thrown from a balcony.
The pot was thrown just as two pedestrians were walking by and they both got hit as the huge pot shattered.
