LIL NAS X: QUEEN OF THE RED CARPET?

You would THINK that since Lil Nas X just signed that contract to be Brand Ambassador for YSL, that he would show off the brand on the red carpet at the MTV Music Awards. But apparently YSL’s elegant collection was just not exciting enough for Nas! He prefers extravagant and outrageous, so he wore an original hoop skirt and headpiece by Harris Reed, a 26 year old UK/American with an ultra-modern philosophy, and little interest in street-style. Reed is inspired by Elizabethan excess and thinks everyone should look like a queen – both men and women. His models are all tall and skinny and gender fluid – you can barely tell the boys from the girls. Maybe Nas signed up with the wrong company…

LIL NAS X IS THE NEW YSL BRAND AMBASSADOR

Looks like Yves Saint Laurent is declaring WAR on Balenciaga! The design company has just announced that rapper Lil Nas X is their latest Brand Ambassador, and besides fashion, he will be promoting their makeup. YSL is taking a hint from Balenciaga’s ever-increasing success under creative director Demna Gvasalia, who literally re-wrote the rules for high fashion. Demna (he’s from Georgia – the Russian one) celebrates street-style as opposed to traditional evening wear. And Demna LOVES celebrities – his Brand Ambassadors include Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber. Demna was Kim’s date at the last Met Gala. YSL is taking it a step further with Lil Nas X…

OUR FAVORITE MET GALA LOOK: PETE DAVIDSON

Just SEEING Pete Davidson SO out of his element at The Met Gala – and wearing a SKIRT- made the whole evening worthwhile. His Thom Browne outfit was original and totally unexpected. At least Pete resisted the urge to wear a TRAIN, which most of the women and a surprising number of men did not. Rihanna stole the night in her long train on that museum staircase a few years ago and designers REMEMBERED. Now loooong trains are a dime a dozen, making socializing at the party inside difficult, at best. (We don’t think clothing should interfere with having FUN!) Our favorite train of the night belonged to Lil Nas X and, sadly, the worst train was worn by Debbie Harry.

LIL NAS X STOLE THE SHOW AT THE BET AWARDS

Step aside Cardi B, Lil Nas X is determined to outshine you in the fashion department! Nas wore TWO dazzling red carpet outfits at the BET Awards to maximize his attention. This is our favorite – it comes straight from the runway of Italian designer Andrea Grossi’s collection. Of course it was custom made to fit Nas. The “gender fluid” outfit consists of suspenders, a corset, jacket, and – we’re not sure if that is a skirt or very wide pants. As if that wasn’t enough- Nas performed his latest hit Montero onstage and ended the song by planting a big juicy kiss on a male dancer!

LIL NAS X IS CONFIDENT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Coming out of the closet has to be the smartest thing Lil Nas X ever did, because he’s been having nothing but fun ever since! His huge hit Old Town Road also did him a lot of good. This is a guy who disappointed his parents by dropping out of college to get into the music business, and ONE Year later at the age of 20 he signed a record deal with Columbia! We didn’t realize his clever creation of a TikTok meme had a lot to do with his song’s success. Now 22, Nas X has already bought a 2.3 million dollar house in Sherman Oaks – he optimistically says “This is just the FIRST house – the NEXT one I’ll create myself!” Meanwhile he has fun wherever he goes – fans were screaming when he showed off his abs on his way into a party the other night.

LIL NAS X IS STILL RAKING IN THE BUCKS

Lil Nas X, 22, is walking tall in his uber-platform sneakers in New York. You can tell the Old Town Road singer is on a roll. He earned around 14 million for that song, according to Forbes. He already spent 2.4 million for a new 4 bedroom house in Sherman Oaks, Cal. Nas is confident about his artistic skills, he says “This is the first one (house) – the next I’ll create myself!”

LIL NAS X WINS OVER THE STARBUCKS CROWD

Lil Nas X devised a method to spread holiday cheer and promote his music at the same time. He dressed up as a futuristic Santa Claus (in a pandemic) inspired by one of the characters in the extravagant video for his new song Holiday. Today Lil Nas X arrived at a Starbucks in West Hollywood in a flashy silver DeLorean followed by paparazzi. He got in line with the locals and proceeded to surprise the other customers with free coffee and snacks. Proof that you never know what’s going to happen in Hollywood!
