    Vanessa Bryant Celebrates ‘Year of the Horse’ with Cowgirl-Themed Family Shoot

    According to a lifestyle feature by Sports Illustrated, Vanessa Bryant and her daughters rang in the new year with a stylish ‘Year of the Horse’ cowgirl photoshoot. The images, shared with her millions of followers, show the Bryant family in matching Western attire, continuing their tradition of honoring cultural milestones with high-fashion family portraits.

    The shoot has been praised for its elegance and the visible bond between Vanessa and her daughters, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri.

    Validating coverage from People Magazine and Entertainment Tonight highlights the family’s enduring influence. People noted that ‘Vanessa goes full cowgirl in a heartwarming tribute,’ while ET quoted a fan comment: ‘The Bryant girls are growing up with so much grace and style.’

    Echotitbits take: Vanessa Bryant has successfully transitioned from ‘NBA Wife’ to a global lifestyle icon and philanthropist.

  • Kylie Jenner’s gold-bikini New Year Stories light up the style cycle again

    Kylie Jenner’s gold-bikini New Year Stories light up the style cycle again

    According to People, Kylie Jenner welcomed 2026 with poolside Instagram Stories featuring a gold metallic bikini and a noticeable jewelry detail.

    The clips quickly bounced from Stories to headline coverage, turning a casual holiday post into another viral fashion moment.

    As usual, the reaction is split between admiration for the look and criticism of ‘influencer culture’ dominance.

    • TMZ/Yahoo Entertainment (recap): ““Rings in New Year… out of gold bikini.””
    • AOL repost (summary): ““a series of Instagram Stories… by a pool.””

    Echotitbits take: Kardashian-Jenner posts often function like mini campaigns—even when they look casual. Watch for brand linkages, product tags, or follow-up posts that convert attention into business.

    Reporting by Punch indicates Nigeria is moving into the Christmas/New Year stretch with an expanded policing posture and officially gazetted public holidays.

    Security agencies say the goal is to deter robbery, kidnapping, and crowd-control flashpoints around worship centres, markets, event venues, and major transport corridors. Officials also urged residents to be vigilant and promptly report suspicious activity.

    On the government side, the Interior Ministry announced December 25, December 26, 2025, and January 1, 2026 as public holidays for Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year celebrations.

    Channels Television also carried the Interior Ministry statement, quoting: “The Federal Government has declared Thursday, 25th December 2025; Friday, 26th December 2025; and Thursday, 1st January 2026 as public holidays…”. The Guardian similarly reported on the police festive-season operational posture and quoted the directive for nationwide deployment.

    Echotitbits take: This is the annual stress-test period for highway safety, inter-state travel, and crowd management. Watch for whether visibility policing actually reduces road kidnappings, and whether emergency lines work reliably in the busiest corridors.
