Julie Andrews Wins & Nearly Sets a Record on Night 1 of 2025 Creative Arts Emmys
Julie Andrews won her first Primetime Emmy in 20 years on Saturday (Sept. 6) – Night 1 of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which were presented at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live. Andrews won outstanding character voice-over performance for her portrayal of Lady Whistledown on Bridgerton.
The legendary star, who turns 90 on Oct. 1, is not the oldest woman to win a Primetime Emmy. Her longtime pal Carol Burnett was approaching 91 when she won most her most recent Emmy in January 2024. The two stars made three acclaimed TV specials together.
Andrews had won two previous Primetime Emmys – outstanding variety musical series in 1973 for her weekly series The Julie Andrews Hour, and outstanding non-fiction series in 2005 for hosting Broadway: The American Musical for PBS. Andrews has also won two Grammys and an Oscar. Unfortunately, the Broadway legend never won a Tony, despite three nominations, keeping her from EGOT status.
Mick Giacchino won his first Primetime Emmy – outstanding music composition for a limited or anthology series, movie or special for The Penguin. Giacchino is the son of famed composer Michael Giacchino, who won a Primetime Emmy 20 years ago for Lost. The elder Giacchino has also won an Oscar and three Grammys.
Christopher Lennertz won his first Primetime Emmy – outstanding music and lyrics for the song “Let’s Put the Christ Back in Christmas,” which he wrote for The Boys. Lennertz beat strong competition, including high-profile songs by SNL alums Adam Sandler and Amy Poehler.
Cristobal Tapia de Veer won his fourth Primetime Emmy, all earned for his work on The White Lotus. He won this year for outstanding original main title theme music.
Theodore Shapiro won outstanding music composition for a series (original dramatic score) for the second time for his work on Severance.
Gabe Hilfer won outstanding music supervision for his work on The Studio. It’s his second win in that category for his work on a buzzy series. He won two years ago for The White Lotus.
The Creative Arts Emmys are being presented over two nights, Saturday, Sept. 6, and Sunday, Sept. 7. Highlights from the two ceremonies will air Saturday, Sept. 13, at 8 p.m. PT on FXX.
The Studio was the big winner on Night 1, with nine awards. Other programs with multiple awards were The Penguin (eight); Severance (six); Andor, Arcane and Love, Death + Robots (four each); The Boys and Bridgerton (three each); and Adolescence and The Pitt (two each).
The Primetime Emmys will be telecast live coast-to-coast on Sunday, Sept. 14, from 8 to 11 p.m. ET on CBS and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. Comedian Nate Bargatze is hosting for the first time.

Bad Bunny’s Adidas Collaborations Sell Out in Minutes: Here’s How to Get His Latest Sneaker Drop Online
All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.
Bad Bunny’s new Adidas sneaker collaboration is one fans have been itching for.
The market for the “NUEVAYoL” singer’s footwear collaboration is insane, with his past Adidas silhouettes selling out mere minutes post-release. We’re willing to bet that this new BADBO 1.0 model is going to be a hit as well, because it expands upon his collaborative line by introducing a versatile colorway not previously seen before. The shoe retails for $160 and dropped Saturday (March 28). It is available to shop on the Adidas website now.
Like his first Adidas BADBO 1.0, this style is chunky and high-top-esque. Departing from the monochrome colorscheme, this shoe comes in black and beige, a stylish and wearable option with pops of blue throughout. The shoe features textural suede paneling, an EVA midsole that makes the soles flexible and cushioned, and a unique translucent rubber outsole.
Bad Bunny x Adidas BADBO 1.0
A new Adidas footwear collaboration with Bad Bunny. The style features suede panelling and a black, white and taupe color scheme.
Harkening back to the musician’s Puerto Rican roots is the BadBo signature logo — a star affixed to each heel — drawing direct inspiration from the Puerto Rican flag. According to Adidas, the design choice “symbolizes origin, joy and the limitless possibilities that come from staying true to where you’re from.”
Along with the shoe drop, Adidas and Bad Bunny also collaborated on an accompanying BadBo apparel capsule that includes pieces such as track jackets, sweatshirts, sweatsuits, hats and more, all inspired by Benito’s personal style. Our favorite has to be the comfy sweatsuit, which offers the perfect mix of style and function. Like the shoes, the apparel collection went live on March 28.
Bad Bunny Heavy Crew Neck & Hooded Balaclava Sweatshirt
This is a gray crew neck sweatshirt with Adidas’ three-striped detailing throughout. The hoodie has a unique handkerchief construction on the front.
Bad Bunny Tapered Heavy Sweat Pant
These are gray slouchy sweatpants with Adidas’ iconic three stripes on the sides. The pants have a drawstring closure and a comfy composition.
The first iteration of the Adidas BadBo 1.0, a cream color scheme with pops of blue, sold out in the blink of an eye. Resellers on Farfetch, Stadium Goods, Fight Club and Goat have the shoe marked up for up to $230, a hefty jump in price from its original listing of $160. Bad Bunny wore these shoes during his 2026 Super Bowl performance, reigniting the hype around the style.
The duo first partnered up in March 2021 with an inaugural launch of The First Cafe, a coffee-inspired Adidas Forum Buckle Low. Since then, the two have come together on numerous occasions to give fans and followers styles all inspired by Bad Bunny’s style, music and swagger, including the Adidas AdiRacer GT, Adidas Forum Powerphase and, our personal favorite, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor.
Bad Bunny Crew Sock 3-Pack
This is a pack of three Bad Bunny x Adidas crew socks in white. The socks have blue stitching that is reminiscent of the same detailing on the musician’s shoes.

Paul McCartney’s Fonda Setlist: Every Song From the First Night of His Two-Night Hollywood Stand
Friday night (March 27) may have officially been billed as Paul McCartney Rocks the Fonda!, but it could have just as easily been called Paul McCartney Makes Everything Better!
Even if it was just for a little while (one hour and 40 minutes to be exact), it felt like the former Beatle made all the world’s troubles disappear within the tiny confines of the Fonda, where he is playing two nights to celebrate the 100th birthday of the 1,100-capacity Hollywood club (the series concluded March 28).
The set was a truncated version of the 2025 Got Back tour, even down to the song order, slimmed down from 33 songs to a tight 21.
McCartney, dressed in a casual black suit with a vest, took the stage at 8:30 p.m., looking delighted to be back on stage even though it had only been four months since the North American tour ended. What followed was a trip back in time, with the spry McCartney serving as the congenial master of ceremonies, surrounded by elite musicians who have now played with him longer than his bandmates in either The Beatles or Wings: keyboardist Paul “Wix” Wickens, lead guitarist Rusty Anderson, drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. and guitarist/bassist Brian Ray. They are a ridiculously tight unit, but more than anything they are a fun, infectiously exuberant one.
As McCartney, 83, touched on almost every facet of his musical career, he seemingly delighted in playing such a small gig, joking it was “good to see the whites of your eyes” to the audience. He convivially bantered with the first few rows, including giving a shoutout to fan attending his 146th show, and good-naturedly shut down a loud balcony attendee getting a little too boisterous. He was loose throughout the show, breaking into short stories (including a humorous Tony Bennett anecdote) and just generally seeming to enjoy the audience as much as they enjoyed him.
But the focus was on the music, and the music soared throughout much of the night. McCartney’s band may be a five piece (with the occasional welcome addition of the three-piece Hot City Horns), but they sound fuller than a configuration at least twice that size, especially when they are locked into a solid, propulsive groove on such songs as “Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five,” “Lady Madonna” and “Get Back.”
On Thursday (March 28), McCartney released a new song, the tenderly nostalgic “Days We Left Behind,” which is featured on his forthcoming 18th solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane — but the tune went left undone at the show, with McCartney saying they were still learning how to play it. Instead, he opted to play two songs from solo albums not featured during the Got Back tour and ones that are seldom trotted out: “Every Night” and “Flaming Pie.”
The no-phones policy and no-frills production (there was no projection of any kind, just a few overhead lighting trusses) allowed the audience to be as in the moment as the band and a communal feeling of peace and joy felt like it spread from the stage all the way through the rear of the balcony, especially on late-show singalongs/anthems “Let It Be” and “Hey Jude.”
McCartney and band returned for his standard encore, closing with Abbey Road’s monumental medley of “Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End.” The words are so familiar now, but still ring true like a beautiful benediction, as he sent the audience out into the night with “the love you take is equal to the love you make” echoing in their ears.
Below are all the songs McCartney performed on the first night of his two-night Fonda stand.

TWICE’s Nayeon Just Shared Her Favorite Vivaia Shoes in the Brand’s Latest Spring Campaign: Shop Her Picks Here
All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.
TWICE’s Nayeon is well known for many things, including her music, but her personal style is severely underrated.
The K-pop star’s looks are often a mix of feminine and comfortable pieces, often pulling inspo from Y2K aesthetics. The “ABCD” singer favors bright colors, playful textures and silhouettes that flatter her frame. In short, we trust her taste, and clearly so does Vivaia, an eco-friendly footwear brand founded in 2020. The retailer tapped the K-pop act to star in its spring 2026 collection titled Feel the Comfort.
The girl group member modeled some of her favorite styles, which consisted mostly of Mary Jane-meets-ballet-flat styles and whimsical sneakers in various colors with feminine and edgy touches. In specific, Nayeon wore the brand’s Square-Toe Jogger Sneakerina retailing for $159, the Square-Toe Hybrid Mesh Mary Janes retailing for $149, the Square-Toe Margot™ Mary Jane 3.0 retailing for $139 and the Mesh Floral Square-Toe Mary Janes for $149. You can shop her picks below and on Vivaia’s website.
Square-Toe Jogger Sneakerina
Think of this like a mix between a sneaker and a ballet flat. The style is affixed with silky ribbon lace-up closures.
Square-Toe Hybrid Mesh Mary Janes
This style is another ballet flat but with lace-up detailing. It also comes with charms that you can attach and alternative laces.
When asked, “What does comfort mean to you?” Nayeon responded in a statement saying, “When I am being my true self.” One of our favorite styles is the Square-Toe Hybrid Mesh Mary Janes in a tan hue with red accents. The shoe features all-round mesh paneling, making them breathable, along with dainty lace-up closures and a playful bubble sole. This style also comes with interchangeable red laces, which Nayeon chose for the campaign, along with floral charms in matching hues that can be attached to your laces to change things up. Sizing is available from 5 through 9.
Another great option is the Mesh Floral Square-Toe Mary Janes that feature see-through mesh throughout and floral accents. Fun fact: The mesh uppers are made with recycled plastic bottles. The shoe has gold clasps to adjust the fit and square toes that Vivaia seems to incorporate in a bunch of its shoe creations. Again, this silhouette is see-through, but you can wear socks with them, which could be a fun stylistic choice if you don a fun print or color.
Square-Toe Margot™ Mary Jane 3.0
These are breathable square-toed ballet flats with straps. The straps are equipped with edgy buckles and grommets.
Mesh Floral Square-Toe Mary Janes
This was said to be one of Nayeon’s favorite styles. These ballet flats feature mesh paneling with floral adornments.
All of Vivaia’s footwear focuses on on-trend silhouettes with an emphasis on comfort. The brand’s mission of comfort meets style came from a singular question: “Why can’t heels, and all women’s shoes, have a sneaker-like comfort?” Each of its shoes is equipped with padded insoles to provide ultimate comfort. The retailer even has wide-foot-friendly designs, creating a more inclusive range for people to shop.
