MEN IN SKIRTS CLUB: ASAP ROCKY IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER

And so it begins…the summer of THE SKIRT. Just days after Brad Pitt had the world abuzz when he flaunted a skirt to his Bullet Train premier, we have Rihanna’s baby-daddy ASAP Rocky looking right at home in a black leather skirt and Givenchy sweatshirt. Not much of a surprise because fashion-forward Rocky was one of the earliest rappers to try a skirt. We ARE surprised that anyone in their right mind  would choose to wear this outfit on a sizzling hot summer day in New York. Amazing, but some people dress without giving a second thought to the weather. Now that the male skirt is becoming quite acceptable, we can’t help but wonder if the mini-skirt IS NEXT…

KANYE WEST AND THE JOY OF INTIMIDATION

Take a good look. This is how Kanye West walked out of his Los Angeles home Friday when the weather report was sunny – in the high sixties. He’s scarier looking than Pete Davidson. We’ve already discussed the fisherman boots, but cannot imagine what if feels like to wear leather pants, that heavy leather jacket, thick gloves, and the full ski mask in temperate weather. Kanye is selling his own Donda version of the head mask for $300, described as “engineered” by Balenciaga (with 2 zippers for eyes) but it doesn’t seem to have caught on yet – not even with criminals. Keep in mind, anti-vax Kanye’s head masks are useless and do NOT protect against Covid- he caught it a year ago. Kanye claims he wants to be recognized for his “art,” NOT his celebrity face.

KIM KARDASHIAN: GETTING IN THE MOOD FOR THE MET GALA

Wow- Kim Kardashian has been heavily influenced by Kanye West’s Donda album events. Kanye hired Balenciaga designer Demna Guasalia to design the event and the fashion for his album listening parties and black leather was all over the place. Not to mention over the head masks. Kim’s custom leather mask was made by an expert with amusing details – zippers for the eyes, a hole for her pony tail and little ear rings, but NO mouth opening. It’s amazing what some people will do for attention. And this is the day BEFORE the Met Gala…

VICTORIA BECKHAM: COMFORT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

One might think that skin tight leather and sky high stilettos would be rather uncomfortable on a long airplane flight, but that doesn’t apply to Victoria Beckham, pictured above at Heathrow. We’re never surprised by her travel garb since we learned that she always takes a set of sweats and comfy shoes to wear during her flight and changes back into her fancy clothes before she lands. Hence, you never see a wrinkle.
