Pharrell Williams

RAPPERS RULE AT PARIS FASHION WEEK

Here are two things you don’t see very often at a Kenzo menswear fashion show in Paris: First we saw Cardi B’s rough and tumble husband Offset, wearing Kenzo flower print denim with a BABUSHKA! We remember babushkas from Chicago – older Polish and Russian women wore these headscarves tied under the chin. Looks like Babushkas are a thing with rappers now… Also in the crowd outside the Kenzo show, it was nice to see new Louis Vuitton Creative Director Pharrell Williams and his wife Helen dressed head to toe in Kenzo THEMSELVES – supporting another designer! We’ve never seen THAT before. Pharrell is making lots of friends on his new job…

RIHANNA AND ASAP ROCKY SHOW OFF THEIR LOUIS VUITTON STYLE

Like we told you, Louis Vuitton will DEFINITELY never be the same! Looks like every self-respecting performer in the rap world turned up in Paris to celebrate Pharrell Williams’ first collection as Creative Director of the label. And he dressed most of the celebrities in his own designs. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are pictured here returning to their fancy Hotel de Crillon following the after-party. She’s wearing a custom 3 piece LV outfit with the jacket tied around her hips. Rihanna likes to flaunt her tummy when she’s pregnant. Rocky is wearing an LV baseball jacket decorated with pearl brooches. The show was declared a triumph for Pharrell Williams…

PHARRELL WILLIAMS: IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY

While paparazzi at the Kenzo menswear show in Paris were focused on Kanye West and Julia Fox in their denim outfits, we zeroed in on THIS denim family. Pharrell Williams never disappoints with his style, but it’s rare to find a whole family that looks good. Pharrell and his wife Helen Lasichanh have always had their separate but equally fashionable looks and it turns out their son Rocket inherited his parents’ love of subtle but stylish dressing. The family is not often photographed together because Helen likes to keep their lives private. SO private that she gave birth to triplets in 2017, and we STILL don’t know the sex or names of the kids!

PHARRELL WILLIAMS: THE $100,000 DILEMMA IN HIS MOUTH

He created that incredible song Happy, but we’ve rarely seen Pharrell Williams smile lately. He was photographed yesterday at the Chanel show in Paris with his wife Helen and his son Rocket and he doesn’t look particularly happy. Do you suppose his new $100,000 multicolored grill has anything to do with it? His gold grill features diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds, and he wears it on special occasions, (we assume the Chanel show is one!) IF he smiles, his mouth attracts a LOT of attention, and if he doesn’t, his teeth just look a bit dingy. Let’s face it, grills just don’t photograph well. When Pharrell debuted the grill on social media he got a lot of negative feedback. Some fans thought it was too vulgar and flashy for his smart and positive image. If it keeps him from smiling, it can’t be a good thing…

PHARRELL WILLIAMS WILL BE ISOLATING IN THE LAP OF LUXURY


We always knew that Pharrell Williams was a fashionista (besides looking good, he has a number of fashion businesses and collaborations) but we never would have guessed he preferred to live in an opulent mansion. According to Variety, Pharrell rushed to close a 30 million dollar deal to purchase this fancy residence in Coral Gables, Florida, because he wants to move RIGHT IN and quarantine there in luxury. The house sits on 3.5 acres, has over 17,000 sq ft, 9 bedrooms, 11.5 baths, and every luxury you can imagine, including an elevator. Not bad for a family of six. (Pharrell and his wife Helen have one son and a set of triplets.)

PHARRELL: IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT LOOKING LIKE A NICE GUY

Lots of celebrities show up to help and serve food when the skid row LA Mission downtown has a special holiday meal for the homeless. Pharrell Williams is a frequent participant and unlike many celebs, he has more on his mind than being photographed looking like a generous person. Pharrell and his wife brought their son
Rocket to volunteer with them at the Easter meal on Good Friday to teach him about giving back.

HERE COMES PHARRELL WILLIAMS WITH THAT FACE-MASK AGAIN!

The first time we saw fashionable Pharrell Williams, 45, wearing a surgical mask in the airport, he said it was because he had just become the father of triplets and didn’t want to bring home any germs. Apparently it worked, because Pharrell STILL wears a mask when he flies, and also to crowded places like Disneyland. Not only is he germ-free, but fewer people recognize and approach him – in fact, sometimes strangers AVOID him, fearing that HE has the flu or a communicable disease! Above, Pharrell and his wife Helen Lasichanch are at the airport again – we predict that the Japanese influenced Pharrell will eventually come out with a designer face-mask collection.

CELEBRITIES LINE UP FOR THE CHANEL COUTURE SHOW IN PARIS

Chanel always gets an impressive celebrity turnout for their front row seats and this season is no exception. Vanessa Paradis got married for the first time to director Samuel Benchetrit last weekend, but she skipped the honeymoon to attend Paris couture collections happening this week. Penelope Cruz, in head to toe pink Chanel, is the new Brand Ambassador. Our favorite fashion couple, Pharrell Williams and his wife Helen Lasichanh, are subtly attired today, but they are starting to look more and more alike…

CHRISTINA AGUILERA IN HER “HARVEY WEINSTEIN” LOOK

It looks like Christina Aguilera is trying VERY hard to look sexy on a recent night out with friends in Hollywood, but she struck out. Even her freshly plumped lips can’t save this fashion disaster. Women rocking a menswear look can be very appealing – if one emulates the RIGHT man. A female seeking to wear male fashions successfully might look to Pharrell Williams for inspiration. Christina, unfortunately, looks more like that portly devil Harvey Weinstein than Pharrell. Huge pants and pinstripes and overcoats are not sexy.

PHARRELL WILLIAMS: BEING HAPPY NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE

Pharrell Williams, 44, and his model/designer wife Helen Lasichanh are ALWAYS predominantly featured at the Chanel couture shows in Paris. He’s perhaps the best dressed guy in the music biz – Esquire named Williams BEST DRESSED MAN IN THE WORLD in 2005. We bet this stylish couple, who call themselves “best friends,” sometimes trade clothes. Helen gave birth to TRIPLETS in January, but the babies’ sexes and names are STILL a secret! Since their 8 year old son is called Rocket, we expect some very original monikers…
