This week, a Pakistani chai seller steals the hearts of plenty while we catch up on what Sarah Silverman has to say about Donald Trump

1. Will Pakistan's real MVP please stand up?
Everyday is #ManCrushMonday with Arshad Khan, an 18-year-old chai walla (tea seller) who was discovered by photographer Javeria Ali at Islamabad. He became an overnight sensation, attracting the likes of media such as Buzzfeed, BBC and AFP.

2. Luna's growing into a Legend
On the subject of little pretty things, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's daughter Luna enters into the sixth month of her life. The model shared an adorable video of her daughter's antics to celebrate.

The dumber you look, the happier they are

3. The big five
Talking about milestones (on social media, at least), model Taylor Hill celebrates her five million followers on Instagram.

Instagram | @taylor_hill Omg high FIVE to all 5m of you!! I couldn't be here without you all!! Thank you for the continuing support it means the world to me and I can't wait to share more adventures with everyone

4. Walls of wonder
Meanwhile, another Taylor dedicated an Instagram post to her musical crushes, Kings of Leon, who just released WALLS, their seventh studio album.

Instagram | @taylorswift I've been waiting for this album for SO LONG and it's insane, you need it in your life. Congratulations @kingsofleon

5. Karlie and Kitty meet
Meanwhile, halfway across the globe, Swift's main squad member Karlie Kloss heads to Taiwan to meet Asia's favourite Sanrio girl.

6. Socks for bad girls
Rihanna announces her collaboration with Stance Muse on a new collection of socks, with cute promotional visuals to boot.

Instagram | @badgalriri The latest collaboration, between @stancemuse and I, is HERE NOW!!! The campaign comes with a new twist as the young @bijoukarman , artist and illustrator, re-imagined visuals like this one to bring my sock collection to life through art!

7. Revlon's new IT girl
Another music co-collaborator is seen in Ciara, who is Revlon's new ambassador. She treats us with her fresh face (or possibly a winning "no makeup-makeup look") before the big announcement.

8. Iman for Kenzo x H&M
On the makeup front, supermodel and Kenzo x H&M frontwoman Iman shares her beauty stash ahead of the show in New York City.

9. Papa Karl's girls get on board
Other models making appearances included Joan Smalls and Hailey Baldwin, who showed support for Karl Lagerfeld while showing off pretty rad hairstyles — we particularly love Smalls' mini top knots.

Instagram | @haileybaldwin get to be with my lovey @joansmalls tonight for @lordandtaylor @karllagerfeld #lordandtaylor #karllagerfeldparisl

10. Donald Trump vs. Hilary Clinton, version three
Third time's the charm? Not quite, as the final presidential debate showed. From Trump calling Clinton a "nasty woman" (it's now a hashtag) to Clinton making a point about her wealth of experience over Trump's (yet again), America has once again become the laughing stock of the Internet.
