On Tuesday, Becky G was spotted arriving at a studio in Los Angeles for a taping of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” The Latin pop star was dressed in a dripping two-piece set. The light lavender ensemble consisted of a “wet” short-sleeve top that featured cutouts on the chest and mesh panels. Becky teamed her top with a matching mini skirt that had ruched detailing at the center.

The “LBD” singer complemented the look with a white shoulder bag and styled her hair in sultry beach waves. She accessorized with chunky chain bracelets and silver midi rings.

When it came down to footwear, Becky dived deep into the archives of Y2K to revive a signature staple shoe style, a pair of sky high platform boots. The slip-on silhouette had a fitting shaft that wrapped tight around her calves and gave the illusion of a sock. While the rest of the construction included a thick outer sole and a towering 7-inch block heel. Post-pandemic, platform boots have emerged as one of the most popular footwear styles. The dramatic heel easily adds a flair and eye-catching element to any outfit.

From glam motorsport-esque outfits to beautifully bedazzled gowns and jaw-dropping dresses, it is safe to say that she is quickly becoming a style icon. The entertainer is never afraid to push boundaries and make a dramatic, but forceful statement. For footwear, the “Dollar” artist tends to gravitate towards strappy sandals, towering platforms and classic pumps.

G20 leaders turn focus to climate change on Rio summit's last day
Leaders of the Group of 20 major economies meet on Tuesday to discuss sustainable development and the transition to cleaner energy, as they aim to increase the odds of a successful deal to address global warming at U.N. climate talks in Azerbaijan. The host of the COP29 climate summit a day earlier had made a plea for G20 countries to send a positive signal on the need to tackle climate change and provide clear mandates to help save talks that had bogged down in Baku, Azerbaijan. With the world on track for its warmest year on record, leaders are seeking to shore up efforts to address climate change before Donald Trump retakes the U.S. presidency in January.

In southern India's tea country, small but mighty efforts are brewing to bring back native forests
Scattered groves of native trees, flowers and the occasional prehistoric burial ground are squeezed between hundreds of thousands of tea shrubs in southern India's Nilgiris region — a gateway to a time before colonization and the commercial growing of tea that reshaped the country's mountain landscapes. The few groves that stand today are either protected by Indigenous communities who preserve them for their faith and traditions, or are being grown and tended back into existence by ecologists who remove tea trees from disused farms and plant seeds native to this biodiverse region. It takes decades, but their efforts are finally starting to see results as forests flourish despite ecological damage and wilder weather caused by climate change.

The Osprey's safety issues spiked over five years and caused deaths. Pilots still want to fly it
Over a New Mexico training range named the Hornet, two Osprey aircraft speed 100 feet off the ground, banking hard over valleys and hills as they close in on a dusty landing zone. A flight engineer in the back braces a .50-caliber machine gun over the edge of the Osprey's open ramp as desert shrubbery blurs past. The aircraft's joints shift and rattle, and there is little steady to hold on to until the Osprey touches down with a bump, flooding seats with rust-colored dust.

Toxic smog persists over India's north; Delhi pollution remains severe
Residents in India's northern states woke up to another day of poor air quality on Tuesday, as a layer of dense fog shrouded most of the region, and pollution in the capital Delhi remained severe. India battles air pollution every winter as cold, heavy air traps dust, emissions, and smoke from farm fires started illegally in the adjoining, farming states of Punjab and Haryana. The air quality index (AQI) touched a peak of 491 in Delhi on Monday, forcing the government to introduce restrictions on vehicle movement and construction activities, and schools to conduct classes online.

G20 summit calls for more aid to Gaza and an end to the war in Ukraine
Leaders of the world's 20 major economies called for a global pact to combat hunger, more aid for war-torn Gaza and an end to hostilities in the Mideast and Ukraine, issuing a joint declaration Monday that was heavy on generalities but short of details on how to accomplish those goals. It also called for a future global tax on billionaires and for reforms allowing the eventual expansion of the United Nation Security Council beyond its five current permanent members. At the start of the three-day meeting which formally ends Wednesday, experts doubted Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva could convince the assembled leaders to hammer out any agreement at all in a gathering rife with uncertainty over the incoming administration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, and heightened global tensions over wars in the Mideast and Ukraine.

42,000 crowd New Zealand's Parliament grounds in support of Māori rights
As tens of thousands of marchers crowded the streets in New Zealand’s capital Wellington on Tuesday, the throng of people, flags aloft, had the air of a festival or a parade rather than a protest. “Just fighting for the rights that our tūpuna, our ancestors, fought for,” Shanell Bob said as she waited for the march to begin. What was likely the country’s largest-ever protest in support of Māori rights — a subject that has preoccupied modern New Zealand for much of its young history — followed a long tradition of peaceful marches the length of the country that have marked turning points in the history of modern New Zealand.
