About this listen
Usher has had a headline-grabbing few days marked by a blend of high fashion, major brand partnerships, high-profile appearances, and ongoing touring success. On July 16, Usher was named the new face of Ralph Lauren’s just-launched Ralph’s Club New York Eau De Parfum. This marks his first-ever fragrance campaign and the first time Ralph Lauren has selected a major music icon for such a role. In the words he shared with L’Officiel, Usher reflected on representing the energy and style of New York City for an iconic designer as something he sees as part of his legacy building. The campaign features Usher channeling Frank Sinatra vibes, singing and dancing with Sinatra’s New York New York, all while exuding suave Ralph Lauren looks, an image now spreading across social media and picked up by outlets like Black Enterprise and LATF USA.
Just days before, Usher made red carpet waves at the 2025 Met Gala, where this year’s theme, Superfine Tailoring Black Style, aligned perfectly with his image and artistry. He took Met Gala fashion coverage by storm—and served as a host committee member—appearing in an impeccably cut three-piece suit, silver chains, and a standout brooch. Usher explained to Vanity Fair that he wanted every detail of his look to honor both Karl Lagerfeld and the exhibit’s homage to Black Dandyism, emphasizing his desire for absolute perfection and timeless silhouettes. Walking the steps with his wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, he was among the night’s most photographed and celebrated attendees, further cementing his standing in the fashion-culture world.
Even outside of such elite events, Usher’s public profile remains relentless. On June 26, he and Goicoechea were spotted arriving at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s ultra-exclusive wedding welcome party in Venice, Italy, mixing with celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, and Orlando Bloom. His fashion was again on point, opting for a white suit and coordinated bling, while the media buzzed over the glamorous guest list and Usher’s continued relevance at top-tier international social events.
The business side of Usher’s brand is also thriving. Following the release of his ninth album, Coming Home, and the blockbuster Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year, demand for his Past, Present, Future Tour has been so high that an additional third Houston date was added for this fall according to Toyota Center’s event release—signaling that his commercial clout remains undiminished.
On social media, Usher’s partnership with Ralph Lauren became an instant trending topic, with his campaign video and behind-the-scenes shots circulating widely on Instagram and entertainment outlets. Meanwhile, his philanthropic work through the New Look Foundation continues to get attention, reinforcing his impact beyond entertainment with over 60000 teens empowered across 25 years.
On the rumor front, there are some online speculations about potential surprise guests for the upcoming tour stops, echoing the hype that surrounded his Super Bowl set. For now, nothing official has been confirmed.
No major negative headlines or controversies have surfaced in this period—Usher’s reputation as one of America’s most stylish and reliable superstars appears as secure as ever.
