Kenzo Offset Pharrell Williams Rapper

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…

ASAP Rocky Fashion Louis Vuitton Pharrell Williams Rihanna

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…

Beyoncé Fashion Jared Leto Kim Kardashian Louis Vuitton

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 Makeover Milan Zegna

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!

Blood Bullets Fashion Miguel

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…

Cannes Film Festival Fashion Gigi Hadid

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…

Angelina Jolie Billy Bob Thornton Fashion Pants

BILLY BOB THORNTON: YOUR PANTS ARE FALLING DOWN!

Little did we know…that Angelina’s Jolie’s ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton is in the middle of a summer tour with his band The Boxmasters – it will finish up in Europe in the fall. He always did prefer making music with his electric rockabilly/blues band to making movies. (One of the reasons why Angelina left him) But what’s with the PANTS? Doesn’t that falling down pants look belong to RAPPERS? We couldn’t resist poking fun at his style…

ASAP Rocky Fashion Met Gala P. Diddy Train

OUR MET GALA FASHION PREDICTION FOR MEN

Every year at the Met Gala we’ve seen the trains on women’s gowns get longer and more elaborate as female celebrities walk up that long staircase- almost to the point of being ridiculous. Men’s clothing designers have been watching and urging the bolder men they design for to become more open-minded and consider trains for their own attire. This year ASAP Rocky wore a plaid kilt skirt with a long appendage in the back and P Diddy wore a long and abundant cape that dragged behind. Rappers seem to have the audacity to pull off wearing a garment with a train first (weren’t they first to wear pearl necklaces?) and we predict at least one rapper will have a train next year!

Fashion Janelle Monae Met Gala Thom Browne

WHAT GOT INTO JANELLE MONAE?

Fashion icon Janelle Monae is one of our favorites and an elegant eyeful at every event she attends. Thom Browne LOVES her courageous choices and designs extreme things for her that most people would hesitate to wear. (note the boots) Janelle wore a fabulous outfit to the Met Gala and changed into this skimpier ensemble for the after-parties. Looks like the usually composed actress is REALLY cutting loose on the street outside as she entered Standard party. We wonder what went on INSIDE…

Dua Lipa Fashion Met Gala Platform Shoes

DUA LIPA CAN SIZE UP A ROOM QUICKLY

We have to admire Dua Lipa’s sense of balance. She’s wearing a Marc Jacobs sweater dress with platform shoes that look to be at least 8 or 10 inches tall! One shaky step and she could easily break an ankle. The singer is on her way to Anna Wintour’s pre-Met Gala party in NY and since Dua is already 5’8”, she will tower over most people at the event…perhaps giving her a social advantage.
