This Week’s 5 Most Controversial Stories: Meghan Markle’s Outfit Blunder, Jennifer Aniston Posing in $3,000 Underwear, and More

From unexpected style moments to head-turning transformations, the stars gave us plenty to talk about this week. Meghan Markle's daring birthday party look sparked buzz, Jennifer Aniston stunned in a sleek photo shoot, and Valerie Bertinelli debuted a bold new hair color.

Meanwhile, Orlando Bloom raised eyebrows with a playful nod to his past, and Faith Hill's fresh-faced appearance had fans doing a double take. Here are this week's five most talked-about celebrity moments.

The Halloween photo buzz comes after the actor's ex released a song, which the public believes hints at the possible reason for the former couple's split.

On November 9, 2025, media outlet Page Six shared a post showing actress Rachel Lynn Matthews and fellow star Orlando Bloom dressed in costumes for Halloween. While Bloom dressed up as a skeleton, Matthews embodied the actor's ex, pop sensation Katy Perry.

The media has since sparked a flurry of reactions from netizens, with some finding humor in the situation, while others were taken aback and expressed disapproval.

In the shared snapshots, Bloom appears in a skeletal outfit complete with dramatic black face paint, flashing a wide grin beside Matthews, who is unmistakably styled as Perry during her appearance on Blue Origin's first all-female spaceflight.

Donning a form-fitting, metallic blue astronaut suit with an American flag patch and flowing jet-black hair, Matthews playfully channels the pop star's bold look. One particularly striking image shows her kissing the ground as Perry did when the crew landed back on Earth.

The Halloween photos quickly became a lightning rod for online commentary, with netizens sounding off in every direction. Some couldn't help but laugh at Matthews' unexpected bold approach. "Thats [sic] hilarious!!" declared one netizen, while another observed, "She looks just like her…"

Echoing the sentiment, someone else wrote, "This is hysterical and offensive and I can't wait to see what's next 😂😂😂" — capturing the mix of humor and controversy many felt. One person even went so far as to say, "This is the absolute best."

However, not all reactions were lighthearted. Others took issue with the costume's implications, especially given Perry's shared history with Bloom. "Rude," read a short but pointed comment. Another spectator pushed back more strongly, commenting, "This is wrong!!! Katy is the mother of his child."

"Letting your new girlfriend make fun of the mother of your daughter is just weird to me lol [sic]," expressed someone else. One person found the situation outright baffling, stating, "That's just bizarre. The fact Orlando would be comfortable with this is very telling."

She's known for her California glow and girl-next-door charm — but Jennifer Aniston just flipped the script. The "Friends" icon's sizzling new Elle editorial isn't just a style statement — it's a bold, skin-baring revelation that has left fans gasping, cheering, and scratching their heads.

The 56-year-old actress graced the cover of Elle's Women in Hollywood issue with a look that was anything but subtle — and some are saying it's her most provocative moment yet.

Jennifer Aniston appeared in the shoot wearing only a long-sleeved gray Miu Miu top and embroidered duchesse briefs, worth a jaw-dropping $3,300. The glittering underwear from the high-end Italian label clung to her like a second skin — a look fans either hailed as fearless or flinched at in disbelief.

Another photo in the editorial showed Aniston mid-motion — slipping on a coat while rocking a swimsuit and oversized sunglasses, exuding the ease of a woman who's done this a thousand times, yet still stuns like it's her first.

For the official cover, stylist George Cortina dressed Aniston in a crisp Ralph Lauren white shirt and blue jeans, but the classic combo was given a Southwestern twist. Decked out in vintage silver and turquoise jewelry from designer Vicki Turbeville — including an eye-catching belt buckle and matching cuffs — the actress looked like a sun-kissed desert queen.

And of course, her famous tousled waves were courtesy of none other than longtime hair guru Chris McMillan, who's been behind her iconic looks since "The Rachel."

As the photos flooded social media, reactions came just as fast — and they weren't all glowing. While some were left breathless, others were baffled by the sultry tone of the shoot.

On Facebook, people didn't hold back. One person wrote, "Beautiful but the leg pose, really [sic]?" Another added, "I love her but very odd pose on the bath tub [sic]." A third stated, "The provocative shot was not needed."

Instagram brought a more adoring crowd — but questions still lingered. "SHE IS BREATHTAKING 😍😍," posted one netizen. Meanwhile, another commented, "50 don't look like it used to [sic]!"
