Star snaps of the week: Tate McRae, Mindy Kaling, Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Rodrigo and more Would you like a more polished, more clickable, or more newsy version?
This week’s star snaps capture celebrities balancing work, family, travel and public appearances across social media and red carpets. Kourtney Kardashian was seen stocking up on vacation essentials while spending time with her family. At the Sesame Workshop gala at Cipriani 42nd Street, Hoda Kotb and Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am joined Elmo and other beloved characters for a playful evening that mixed entertainment with fundraising and family-friendly nostalgia.
Music and performance were also prominent. Nick Jonas shared a stage moment with his daughter Malti, 4, before performing with his brothers in Las Vegas, giving fans a glimpse of his family life behind the scenes. Taylor Momsen posted from London, where she visited Tower Bridge ahead of the release of her new album. Olivia Rodrigo teased her next music era with a puckered pose while filming the video for her new single “The Cure,” suggesting another high-profile rollout is underway.
Several stars used the week to promote upcoming projects. Mindy Kaling stopped by “Good Morning America” to talk up her new Hulu series “Not Suitable for Work,” continuing her busy run in television and streaming. Jennifer Lopez marked Memorial Day weekend with a quieter, more intimate message, saying she spent it “with the people I love” while sharing the moment with her massive Instagram audience.
Fashion and image-making were another recurring theme. Hassie Harrison appeared in the iconic red suit on the set of “Baywatch,” while Chloë Sevigny was spotted in New York giving fan-girl energy as she strolled through the city. Paul Anthony Kelly embraced white suit season in Hudson Square, and Jackie Sandler supported her film “Office Romance” at its Los Angeles premiere, where Adam Sandler’s casual dress reportedly contrasted with the event’s polished setting.
Family came through strongly in other moments as well. Gigi Hadid shared a sweet post showing her daughter Khai, 5, helping transform her into a princess with a tiara. Teyana Taylor and her daughters Junie, 10, and Rue Rose, 5, arrived together at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas, bringing a stylish family presence to one of music’s biggest nights.
Other snapshots showed lighter, more playful celebrity downtime. Tate McRae relaxed on a tropical vacation. Salma Hayek posted from Cannes with a cat that seemed to be keeping her company in a very assistant-like role. Carl Radke hosted a Williamsburg event promoting the dairy industry, raising tall glasses of milk with his “Summer House” castmates Kyle Cooke and Jesse Solomon. In London, J.J. Abrams, Martin Short and Steve Martin were photographed sharing dinner, while “Love Story” star Paul Anthony Kelly was out in a crisp white suit. Taken together, the images offer a fast-moving portrait of celebrity life this week: promotion, performance, family, style and social moments, all playing out in public view.
