Ed Sheeran has been celebrating his recent addition to a ‘best dressed’ list by reminiscing on some of his old looks.
The ‘Galway Girl’ singer attended The 2025 Time 100 Gala on Thursday (April 24) in New York City at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The event serves as the annual celebration of Time‘s list of the 100 most influential people in the world
To celebrate, Sheeran showed up on the red carpet in a pale pink suit and matching Nike Air Force 1’s – a look which resulted in him being placed on Hello Magazine‘s ‘best dressed’ list.
In response, the singer took to Instagram to share a series of his previous fashion fails, writing: “Got put on the best dressed list yesterday for the @time gala. Swipe right to see all the times in the last 15 years I’ve been voted worst dressed #glowup #holdmybeer #iworkoutnow #fashon #influencer #dontbuydrugskids.”
The photo carousel mainly consists of images of Sheeran wearing zip-up hoodies to various red carpet events. Check it out below.
Sheeran most recently released the video for ‘Azizam’ – which is named after a Persian term of endearment that translates to “my dear” or “my beloved” – and it sees the singer joining in with a lively Persian wedding.
It is the first release from his upcoming album ‘Play’, which has yet to be given an official release date. He also previewed a new song ‘Old Phone’ during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month.
Sheeran has also confirmed that a new track called ‘Sapphire’ will be released in the coming months, and he revealed that he plans to share new music every two or three weeks.
The singer-songwriter is due to play a run of European shows from May to September 2025 before finishing up the year with performances in Bhutan, India, Qatar and Bahrain.
Elsewhere, last week he joined forces with Noah Kahan to perform a short acoustic duet set in a Nashville pub, and before that he played Coachella 2025, where he was announced as a late addition for the Mojave Stage. He also joined Post Malone for the latter’s festival-closing set last weekend – check out footage here.
Samsung has officially answered the $15million lawsuit filed against them by Dua Lipa, denying the claims made by the singer.
The artist filed the lawsuit against the electronics giant earlier this month, accusing the company of using her image without approval to help market televisions.
The complaint focuses on cardboard TV packaging released by the brand in 2025, which allegedly featured a photo of the singer without compensation or permission being granted beforehand.
According to the lawsuit, her legal representatives attempted to stop Samsung from continuing to use the image, but claimed the company responded in a “dismissive and callous” manner. The filing also referenced reactions posted by fans on X/Twitter, where some users admitted the packaging influenced their interest in buying the TV.
“I’d get that TV just because Dua Lipa is on it,” one fan wrote, while another posted: “I wasn’t even planning on buying a tv but I saw the box so I decided to get it.”
The lawsuit includes allegations of copyright infringement, violations tied to California publicity rights laws, federal Lanham Act claims, and trademark related accusations.
Samsung has now issued a public response to the case and pushed back against the allegations made by the ‘Dance The Night’ hitmaker.
In a statement, Samsung explained: “The image of Dua Lipa was used in 2025 to display content from third-party partners available on Samsung TVs.
“Originally, the image was provided by a content partner for the free streaming service Samsung TV Plus. It was only used after the content partner had given explicit assurances that all necessary rights had been obtained – including use on sales packaging.”
The company also stated that it has “great respect for Dua Lipa” along with the intellectual property rights of artists, adding that it remains “open to a constructive solution” with the singer.
At this point, Dua Lipa’s representatives have not publicly addressed Samsung’s latest response.
Elsewhere, the singer recently curated the London Literature Festival 2026 at the Southbank Centre, surprised fans with an unexpected appearance during Tame Impala’s headline performance at The O2, and was also announced as part of the cast for a new A24 comedy titled Peaked.
