Lady Gaga and Doechii drop the “Runway” music video ahead of The Devil Wears Prada 2 , serving avant-garde couture, emerging designers, and Met Gala-worthy fashion moments. With just days before The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters, Lady Gaga and Doechii said, “let’s warm them up real quick,” and dropped a music video that feels less like a promo and more like a full-blown fashion moment. And with a title like that? Yeah… they didn’t come to play. Oh, This Stuff? Directed by Parris Goebel , the video is pure controlled chaos. We’re talking surreal striped rooms, strobe lights, random rain moments, basically a fever dream, but make it fashion. The looks? Insane. Bejeweled bodysuits, exaggerated ballgowns, sculptural silhouettes, and every frame is giving editorial. Honestly, some of these could walk straight into the Met Gala 2026 and still steal the spotlight.

We have always known Xyriel Manabat , or at least, we thought we did. In pieces. In passing. In carefully edited chapters of a life lived under watchful eyes. She existed to us as fragments: the child star, the quiet disappearance from the limelight, and the return that felt both familiar and unfamiliar all at once. To witness her on the set of Metroscene Mag ’s March cover is to understand that those fragments were never separate. What stood before us was not a reinvention but a synthesis of every version of her, converging into one undeniable presence. The innocence, the distance, the defiance, the growth, all of it lived in her at once. And as we spoke, it became clear that this wholeness was not something handed to her. It was something she built intentionally, relentlessly, on her own terms. What Makes a Woman On set, Xyriel Manabat tells her story with a kind of clarity that feels both heavy and powerful. Like something she has carried for a long time, and has now learned to own...
