MEN IN HIGH HEELS: JARED LETO IS DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT HIS BAND

Judging by his footwear, Jared Leto is putting his acting career on the shelf for now, and he’s concentrating on his music career. After all, he DID climb the Empire State Building simply to promote his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, upcoming tour. Guys who wear high heels are usually in the music biz- like Kanye West and Harry Styles. Jared turned up at the Z100 2023 Jingle Ball ln NYC looking every inch a ROCK STAR…

NIKKI HALEY IS GETTING A PRESIDENTIAL MAKEOVER

This is political gossip AND fashion gossip so we just couldn’t resist sharing. One of our fashion sources revealed that presidential candidate, Nikki Haley is now working with an established stylist to make her look more presidential. A Republican Super PAC just gave Nikki their practically unlimited checkbook, so now her campaign is flush with cash. As a result, she’s being seen as a potential Republican front runner, and someone who can dethrone the divisive Donald Trump. Nikki decided she needed a makeover, so she’s working with a NY based stylist on updating her wardrobe, accessories, makeup, and hair. Even though she’s a conservative Republican, she’s also seen as reasonable and moderate, so most of the top fashion designers are willing to work with her. As our source explained it, many of the designers who refused to dress Melania Trump due to her husband’s policies, are more than willing to work with Nikki. Look for subtle changes from now on – her new and improved look will be complete early next year.

MADONNA EXPRESSES HERSELF

Madonna is spending her nights in Paris onstage dressed in incredible fashions created by famous designers, looking spectacular for her Celebration performances. But she’s saving the glamour for the stage. Coming and going to the venue, she is understated, to say the least. She’s wearing a plaid flannel shirt with no-nonsense Birkenstock sandals and socks, along with her usual braids. Maybe her feet need some pampering. She doesn’t take any chances on misplacing her phone – it’s hanging on a strap around her neck. With Taylor Swift and Beyonce’s incredibly successful tours to motivate her, she is expected to earn over 100 million dollars …

LOOKS LIKE PIPER PERABO COULDN’T CARE LESS

Some people just don’t recognize the importance of style. A little goes a long way. We would never have recognized the celebrity above. Piper Perabo was an immediate smart and wildly sexy sensation in the movie Coyote Ugly back in 2000. She married director/writer Stephen Kay in 2014 in NYC. She has been working steadily in indie movies and TV, most recently Yellowstone. What happened to her? She still has her good looks, but dresses like a dowdy housewife! Her husband almost looks TOO COOL for her. Somebody please take this woman shopping…

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…

NOT THE SAME OLD LOUIS VUITTON

 

Louis Vuitton presented their spring menswear collection in Paris and it’s a whole new world thanks to their new Creative Director- Pharrell Williams. A crowd of celebrities gathered outside and we had to look twice at what we thought was Kim Kardashian in her blonde wig. But it turned out to be Beyonce in LV satin pajamas! There IS a resemblance. On second thought it couldn’t be Kim – she’d NEVER wear such a loose fitting outfit. We located Kim inside (in a tight bodysuit) sitting next to a scary version of Jared Leto. Did he shave his eyebrows off? He’s been looking more and more like a freaked out Jesus…

CHRIS PINE HAD A MAKEOVER

Chris Pine turned up at the ZEGNA luxury menswear show in Milan along with Andrew Garfield and several handsome Italian actors -they were outside the location before the show started, posing for photos. Looks like Zegna offered them a deal they couldn’t refuse and they became walking ads for the label. It’s apparent that Chris had a total makeover because he never looked more refined. He is usually seen dashing around Los Feliz wearing baggy shorts or sweats with Birkenstocks, going to and from yoga classes, etc. Zegna not only dressed him but they blew out his hair and trimmed his usually scraggly beard. Those mint green linen pleated pants with the tan t-shirt make him look VERY Italian. Apparently the brown leather loafers hurt so he took them off. Watch for Chris’s next film  Poolman – he not only co-wrote it, he produced, directed, and stars in it!

MIGUEL: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK


R&B singer Miguel looks perfectly normal (and hot) walking down the street in LA with his metal briefcase in hand. (what’s IN there?) As he turned to get into his car however, we see bullet holes and dripping blood printed on the back of his shirt. Very clever! It so happens Miguel started designing two years ago with a collection of “sustainable fashion” available online. Looks like he has a whimsical sense of humor when it comes to style…

GIGI HADID: AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN

Navigating the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival is not easy – you must play by all the rules and above all, try not to fall down and embarrass yourself in front of numerous paparazzi. Gigi Hadid has more experience that most in wearing uncomfortable and highly unfunctional designer clothes, but even SHE must be a little frightened by that long staircase. The glamorous dress she’s wearing is not only restricting, but VERY long. Add that to stiletto heels, and odds of making it up those stairs without tripping increases exponentially…
