Danny Masterson Designer Fashion Rebecca Minkoff Scientology The Real Housewives of New York City

REBECCA MINKOFF HAS A SECRET

Before fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff agreed to join the upcoming season of Real Housewives of New York in the capacity as a friend, she had one demand – her involvement in Scientology is completely off limits unless SHE brings it up first. My Bravo source reveals that producers were eager to get Rebecca on the show so they agreed to the demand, but they have already told her if she brings it up then NOTHING is off-limits. Her RHONY cast mates have already been instructed not to mention Scientology, but once the drinking starts, who knows what will happen. The Housewives will no doubt have PLENTY to say on the subject- especially since a photo of Rebecca and convicted rapist (and fellow Scientologist) Danny Masterson, who is now in prison, popped up on Page Six!

Brittany Mahomes Designer Makeover Taylor Swift

TAYLOR SWIFT HAS PLANS FOR BRITTANY MAHOMES

Not only is Taylor Swift helping the Kansas City Chiefs get higher TV ratings, but she’s also helping the quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ wife Brittany up her fashion game. Taylor’s romance with the Chief’s tight end, Travis Kelce, is going strong and she really likes Brittany and has taken her under her wing. My source tells me that Taylor has reached out to her numerous fashion and style contacts and is hooking Brittany up with a makeover. For years, Gisele Bundchen was the only football wife who got attention or perks from top name designers, makeup artists and hairstylists. For example, although Brittany and Patrick Mahomes were guests at this years Met Gala honoring Karl Lagerfeld, her “prom dress” style gown and unremarkable hair didn’t win any rave reviews. Designers haven’t embraced Brittany YET, but Taylor is out to change that.

Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Awkward Designer Eddie Redmayne Model Red Carpet

DON’T ASK EDDIE REDMAYNE TO MODEL

We all know that designers give celebrities expensive dresses and suits to flaunt on red carpets and at big PR events in hopes that it will stimulate interest in their fashions and increase sales. Celebrities often mention their designers names whether the press ask about it or not. Designers might think twice before dressing actor Eddie Redmayne because his red carpet “flaunting” expertise is minimal at best. He’s wearing a perfectly nice but unremarkable blue suit at the Motion Picture Museum gala, but he looks excruciatingly uncomfortable posing in it. Can’t figure out what to do with his hands OR his feet. (Or his FACE!) Posing provocatively is NOT his thing…

Designer Fashion Paris Fashion Week Weinsanto

NEW GENERATION OF PARIS FASHION

Seems like it’s Fashion Week somewhere ALL the time! Now we’re off to Paris and we found a new designer that’s chock full of crazy. Young Victor Weinsanto (he used to work for Gaultier) uses fashion to “have fun in a creative way.” Most of his unusual models are actually friends of his. His runway shows are way more outrageous than the basic clothing he sells in stores. The far-out items are custom made only. Some of his designs make you wonder if he really LIKES women…

Bad Fashion Designer JW Anderson

JW ANDERSON WANTS MEN TO LOOK LIKE THIS

Okay, now we’re on to Paris Fashion Week and it is evident that men have lot to look forward to! JW Anderson is an established designer who has already earned Designer of the Year awards for both his men’s and women’s fashions in the UK. The label is a favorite of rappers, but we cannot picture Travis Scott or ASAP Rocky in THIS outfit. What was JW thinking?

Balenciaga Designer Handbag Hermes Johnny Weir

JOHNNY WEIR: THE GAY KIM K?

Olympic skater Johnny Weir is obsessed with flashing designer names and he’s especially fond of designer handbags. He proudly admits to having at least 40 Balenciaga bags, over a dozen Chanel bags, and a shocking, but undisclosed, number of pricey Hermes Birkin bags. Six years ago, when he divorced Victor Voronov, Johnny confessed that he cheated on his husband and Victor retaliated by defacing some of his Birkin bags. THAT put an end to the stormy marriage. Due to his handbag addiction, Johnny has been called “the gay Kim K” and he’s not at ALL insulted!

Designer Givenchy High Heels Kanye West Off-White Yeezy

IS KANYE WEST STILL A FASHION DESIGNER?

Kanye West oozes self confidence when it comes to his “artistic talents,” but we haven’t seen any new fashion collections lately. Kanye’s monochromatic collections a few years ago were met with considerable interest and admiration, although they had more than a passing resemblance to the designs of Givenchy’s Riccardo Tischi and Off White’s Virgil Abloh. Maybe those “comparisons” discouraged Kanye, because for the past few years he’s been concentrating on Adidas sneakers. We WERE surprised to see Kanye’s label on a collection of high heels (?) – they looked a LOT like what Kim Kardashian already has in her closet. Meanwhile, self-proclaimed designer Kanye is only seen in hoodies and baggy sweats these days – whatever the weather or the occasion. (Above, Kanye arrived for a party at Craig’s restaurant)

Anne Hathaway Designer Payout Red Carpet

ANNE HATHAWAY KNOWS HOW TO MAXIMIZE POTENTIAL

The Hollywood Reporter did a staggering breakdown on what A-list celebrities are PAID for wearing certain items on the red carpet at events like The Golden Globes. A young attractive actress (especially a nominee) could not only get a free designer gown, but a cash payment of at least $50,000, up to $200,000, if she appears on a best dressed list! If she shows off a designer handbag on the red carpet, that’s another $10,000 to $15,000. Shoe designers pay up to $10,000 for an actress to make her shoes visible. Anne Hathaway knows how to make the best of a red carpet – she’s showing dress, shoes, handbag, AND earrings ($125,000)- that’s a potentially NICE payout!

Designer Fashion Kanye West Kim Kardashian

KANYE WEST IS ATTRACTED TO LARGE SHINY OBJECTS

Kanye West couldn’t resist taking a moment to admire the rear view of his wife Kim Kardashian last night. For a self-proclaimed designer, Kanye doesn’t seem to care that much about what HE wears. He wore the same cargo pants and t-shirt all day: he appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, then he joined the family for dinner at Craig’s. Afterward they all went to Kylie Jenner’s birthday party at Delilah – everybody was dressed to kill – except Kanye…
