MEGHAN MARKLE GOT A BETTER OFFER?

Deals, deals, deals. Much ado was made over the rumor that Meghan Markle was going to be the spokesmodel for Dior, but the rumor turned out NOT to be true since both the fashion giant and Meghan denied it. While that tidbit didn’t pan out, my source revealed that Meghan might wind up with a lucrative fashion deal after all – on QVC! Sounds improbable, but the shopping network has had some big names hawk their merchandise – including Katy Perry. A line designed by Meghan could easily become a huge moneymaker. The source explained that Meghan and Harry are open to almost any possibility that could pad their bank account- and affordable, eco-friendly items would work with their brand. It could happen!

TRAVIS SCOTT’S PERFECT WORLD IS FALLING APART

Just when it seemed that Travis Scott was successfully following in the Kardashian entrepreneurial footsteps, Astroworld happened. The November concert tragedy left ten people dead and hundreds injured while rapper Travis Scott and the band played on. Even the Kardashians (his girlfriend is Kylie) can’t help him now – cancel culture has begun. The much-feared cancel culture has expanded from mainly sexual abuse to bad behavior of all kinds. Dior “indefinitely postponed” their Cactus Jack Dior line of products in partnership with Scott that was set to be launched next month. Nike nixed a sneaker collaboration with Scott and Anheuser-Busch discontinued their Cacti hard seltzer deal with Scott. Will McDonald’s be next? Travis is currently busy juggling dozens of Astroworld lawsuits- and probably begging Kris Jenner for advice…

CHARLIZE THERON : BEST DRESSED AT VANITY FAIR PARTY

WOW- we almost missed this amazing outfit! We’ve seen plenty of fringed dresses in our years of fashion observation, but Charlize Theron’s gold fringe Dior is the all-time best! And walking only makes it look better. Charlize, who happens to be the face of Dior, wore another dress on stage at the Oscars, and for some reason saved this metallic beauty for the Vanity Fair after-party.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE IS A BIG DEAL AT DIOR

Over five years later, Jennifer Lawrence may not be the Highest Paid Actress this year according to Forbes, but she’s still raking in millions from Dior. She’s contracted to wear Dior to all red carpet events and appears in many of their ads. Jennifer’s down to earth image enhances Dior’s expansion into street fashion. This year’s Spring 2020 Fashion Week show featured rows of 164 boxed willow, birch, and olive trees destined to be planted by Dior around Paris. Jennifer sat in the front row with the Dior executives.

PARIS JACKSON’S FATHER WOULDN’T LIE TO HER, WOULD HE?

Paris Jackson, 19, showed up at the Dior disco party in West Hollywood and she’s appropriately attired in Dior from head to toe. And she added some Amy Winehouse eyeliner. Recently she gently scolded fans on Twitter who photoshop pictures of her so that her skin is darker or lighter. “I am who I am” – Paris says her father Michael Jackson told her she is black and to be proud of her roots. Paris believes what he told her. In spite of her skin color, Paris’s career is moving along nicely. Watch for Paris in her new movie Gringo with Charlize Theron.

WILLOW SMITH CAN’T RESIST A GOOD RUNWAY SHOW

Stylish Willow Smith is 17 now and she’s growing up to be quite a fashion devotee. She’s only 5’7”, but she signed with Kendall Jenner’s model agent in New York and she’s already the face of Chanel Eyewear. Willow turned up at the Dior Couture 2018 show in Paris, dressed head to toe in Dior. She was seated in the front row with all the celebrities. Willow has acted, and she’s toured with her hit songs, but we predict she will become a fashion designer. Actually, she and her brother Jaden should team up and produce a gender neutral collection.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE WELCOMES A LITTLE HELP FROM PHOTOSHOP

It’s nice to know that Best Actress Jennifer Lawrence hasn’t let her ego run away with her yet. When she was first shown these glamorous photos from an ad layout she did for Dior, she gasped and blurted “That doesn’t look like me at all! I LOVE Photoshop more than anything in the world!” She admitted “Of course it’s Photoshop, people don’t LOOK like that!”

CHARLIZE THERON UNITES TECHNOLOGY AND STAR-STUDDED GLAMOUR FOR DIOR

To think we almost overlooked this extraordinary Dior J’Adore perfume TV commercial starring Charlize Theron. Theron plays a model dressing backstage for a fashion show and many famous faces like Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, and Marilyn Monroe are seamlessly integrated into the colorful backstage preparations. Amazing Technology- it almost makes you want to buy the perfume

We’ve always thought of designer John Galliano as the Salvador Dali of the fashion world. His own look is never disappointing – he’s pictured above having a smoke outside a building in Soho – he graciously posed for a fan. He’s still on top – enjoying dazzling success designing for Dior and his own Galliano line. Here’s a sample from his “Ottoman Empire” menswear collection.
