Supermodels wear a lot of hats these days. From lipstick-shade picker to handbag designer, strutting the catwalk is becoming just a small part of their résumé. Which is why we’re not surprised the gorgeous Ethiopian-born model and LemLem designer Liya Kebede was just tapped to model a breezy summer collection for The Outnet.

You probably recognize the supermodel from her L’Oréal Paris campaigns (or her super-glam recent Vogue Paris cover, or our Cannes galleries), but Kebede is now the face of (and the lucky recipient of) the site’s “summer edit”, which features A-list labels including Oscar de la Renta, Suno, Eugenia Kim, Sophie Anderson and more.

And though Kebede is fond of all 17 pieces, there are a few she plans on wearing more than others, like the flowy, floral Suno frock (perfect for rooftop drinks) and an ultra-comfortable striped jersey Iris and Ink maxi that pairs with just about everything.

In fact, this summer, the supermodel’s wardrobe will be filled with easy dresses to keep cool in the unbearable heat, including the collection’s Adam Lippes dress, which she’s planning to wear a few different ways.

“[I’ll] dress it up with a belt and penny loafers,” she tells PEOPLE — and for a more casual ensemble, she’ll “dress it down with high tops.”

Notice a trend? Kebede won’t reach for her heels in the summer — she prefers flat-soled shoes that work from day-to-night to keep things effortless. “[I love] a classic pair of espadrilles — I love Soludos,” she says. “I run around a lot so I need comfortable shoes!”

The rest of her summer wardrobe will be filled with bikinis (but you’ll never catch her in a monokini, she tells PEOPLE), Lemlem shorts (it’s her own line) and super-soft tees. Oh, and a gorgeous bold lip. (Because how can you forget lipstick?)

“[I like] L’Oréal Paris ‘Liya Kebede’ lipstick for a night out,” she says. “Sometimes I borrow Blake [Lively]’s red, which I love, along with ‘Baby Blossom’ for a daytime look.”

Hip Hop beef may be back, but the antics are on another level. Rick Ross didn’t take Drake’s recent dis track Push-Ups lightly. Rozay immediately took to the studio to comeback at the ‘white boy’ with a dis of his own entitled Champagne Moments. The MMG CEO explains that he is on a different level of gangster and the Instagram antics can’t get him out of a luxurious seat in his private hanger. While exposing fandom audio, switchable accusations, and fake body parts, Rozay says this beef has to end face to face. Let us know your thoughts on the official video below.

In the bustling streets of Southeast, Washington DC, rapper Kazon’s latest offering, “My Brother,” emerges as a symphony of redemption and advocacy, resonating with audiences far and wide.

Kazon’s path to musical stardom has been fraught with obstacles, from brushes with the law to a brush with death that left him scarred but unbroken. Through it all, he credits his resilience to the belief that every setback is an opportunity for growth.

With “My Brother,” Kazon takes on the role of a lyrical mentor, offering guidance and solace to Black youth grappling with violence and systemic oppression. Through heartfelt verses and melodic refrains, he shares his own journey of redemption, using his past mistakes as a catalyst for change.

At its core, “My Brother” is a call to action—a plea for unity, love, and advocacy within the Black community. Kazon’s harmonious tale serves as a reminder that through solidarity and advocacy, we can effect real change and pave the way for a brighter future.

As the final notes of “My Brother” fade into the ether, Kazon’s message lingers: every trial is a testament to our strength, and every mistake is a chance to do better. Through his music, he invites us to join him in a journey of redemption and advocacy—one that holds the promise of a more just and equitable world for all.
