MACHINE GUN KELLY IS NOW AN “INTIMATE APPAREL” MODEL

Machine Gun Kelly walked the runway quite successfully for Dolce and Gabbana back in January 2022, and now he’s getting ready to pose in his underwear for their upcoming ad campaign. While his engagement to Megan Fox is still up in the air, his plans to front the D&G intimate apparel campaign are full steam ahead. A fashion insider says the designing duo is smitten with MGK’s lean and lanky look, and predict his the sexy and provocative ads will boost sales worldwide.

BEN AND JEN’S MARRIAGE IS PAYING OFF BIGTIME

Like it or not, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have become one of the hottest and most in-demand couples in the world. Dolce & Gabbana jumped on the bandwagon early and hired Jennifer for a recent sunglasses campaign. The designers are about to launch a new fragrance collection and they REALLY want Ben and Jen to celebrate their rekindled romance in TV and print ads. Coincidentally or not, the working name of the new scent is “Rekindled.” The contract isn’t signed, but the deal could pocket $20 million or more for the lucky newlyweds…

SHARON STONE IS LIVING IT UP IN MILAN

Sharon Stone is a big deal in Milan this week and she’s enjoying every minute of it. Last August she was in Venice where she was photographed in numerous Dolce and Gabbana ensembles (mostly sexy black dresses) because she is the face for their new ad campaign. Her photos popped up everywhere for Fashion Week including the store window at D&G. She happily posed for photos in front of her huge poster in the window at the Milan store and caused quite a stir…

HEY, MACHINE GUN KELLY – HOW ABOUT A KISS?

Last October, Angelina Jolie showed up at the premier of The Eternals wearing a gold metal band that connected her lower lip to her chin. It was NOT a dental appliance. No one had seen such a piece of jewelry before and universally wondered if she could speak normally or drink or eat while wearing the thing. Turns out it’s called a custom lip cuff and was made by Nina Berenato, a jeweler in Austin. Machine Gun Kelly was the next to show up in a lip cuff – and his was considerably more extravagant and featured Dolce & Gabbana’s initials. We STILL don’t know if he can talk or eat while wearing this silly thing…but at least it’s removable.

DIDDY’S GIRLS: NOTICE A RESEMBLANCE?

This Dolce & Gabbana show in Venice was quite an event – it even included children of celebrities as models. Among the pretty young things were Sean “Diddy” Combs’ three daughters by two mothers. Chance is 15 (mother is Sarah Chapman) and twins Jessie and D’Lila, 12, are daughters of the late Kim Porter. The girls wore some very fancy D&G dresses (not so hot) but Diddy was in the audience loudly applauding with tears in his eyes. He posted photos of them all over Instagram and the girls were VERY excited. In the photo above, the girls resemble dad with his dead-serious look, but they’re much cuter when they smile.

JENNIFER LOPEZ WALKS THE PLANK THE HARD WAY

Jennifer Lopez has no lack of courage as she hops out of a boat and teeters across a narrow wooden deck above the water in Venice – wearing 7 inch platforms. Lady Gaga would be impressed! She’s in Venice with her manager Benny Medina (no Ben in sight) to attend a big Dolce & Gabbana two-day fashion event. Wonder if Lady Gaga will also be there in similar footwear.

DOLCE & GABBANA: HIGH HEELS ARE OPTIONAL

This is what Dolce & Gabbana hopes you will be wearing next winter – and it’s bound to cheer up anyone who sees you. Noteworthy: The designers in Milan this year loosened up when it came to pairing sneakers with evening gowns and high heels with workout wear – and it’s about time. Everyone knows you can have more FUN in sneakers and by next winter we should all be back to having fun. This colorful graffiti spray dress and jacket is more practical than it looks. It’s quite stretchy and the puffy jacket with leopard lining is cozy and warm, suitable for a festive occasion OR a ski outing.

CELEBRITY WARNING: WHAT NOT TO WEAR IN MILAN

Whatever you do, don’t even THINK about wearing fur in the Via Monte Napoleone shopping district in Milan. Protesters called “vegan hyenas” were demonstrating in front of Dolce & Gabbana and they turned their attention to any shoppers walking by wearing so much as a fur collar! Shouting protestors flashed their “blood” covered bodies to illustrate how animals are skinned so wealthy people can adorn themselves. No wonder Bloomingdale’s just closed their fur department here in LA…

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT YOUR MAN TO LOOK LIKE?

Dolce & Gabbana is showing their 2020 fall collection for men in Milan and they call this STREET SYLE! Couture designers are struggling to introduce more designer day wear for guys – inspired by the popularity of hip hop fashion and active wear. Let’s face it, fashion houses are making more money now with designer sneakers than with red carpet gowns. THIS silky ensemble is immediately recognizable as D&G, but looks more like something Hugh Hefner would have worn, than Travis Scott. STREET WEAR? We think not.

BRANDON LEE IS READY FOR HIS CLOSE-UP

Pamela Anderson’s son (with Tommy Lee) looks like he fancies himself to be quite a playboy in this photo. (Maybe it’s the unbuttoned shirt or white shoes with no socks – or maybe the laptop!) Brandon Lee, 20, is a Dolce & Gabbana model, so naturally he showed up at the D&G party in Beverly Hills. Ironically, he was working as a lifeguard at a beach restaurant before he got into modeling. He’s with his model girlfriend Raina Lawson, 22, – they’ve been together for over a year. Brandon is doing okay as a model, but he really hopes it will lead to acting jobs.
