Gigi Hadid Stuns Shirtless In Figure-Hugging Versace Suit

Posted: 02 Dec 2021 05:46 PM PST

Gigi Hadid most definitely turned heads as she rocked a flared and super-classy Versace suit worn shirtless. The supermodel, who continues to make headlines amid her split from baby daddy Zayn Malik, looked a vision earlier this year as she attended the high-profile Savage x Fenty Show.

Gigi didn't don lingerie from Rihanna's best-selling underwear and clothing brand, but she did ensure luxury Italian label Versace got a major shout-out. See the sizzling outfit photos and Gigi's latest news below.

Suiting Up!

Scroll for photos. Gigi is this year big-time fronting Versace via her catwalk appearances for the brand run by legend Donatella Versace. Photos showed the daughter to Yolanda Hadid outdoors and in sunlight, also backed by greenery.

Gigi stunned in a tailored and figure-flaunting white Versace pantsuit, one she paired with the $135 Delicated Lace Bra from Anine Bing. The 26-year-old former Victoria's Secret Angel also went for a plunging neckline and barely-there chest finish, with a pearl choker necklace adding even classier accents. More after the snaps.

Not Just Savage x Fenty

While Hadid did walk the runway for Savage x Fenty as 33-year-old RiRi cherry-picked celebrities including Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon for her headline-making show, it's all the brands waiting in line for Gigi, who continues to make headlines as one half supermodel sister duo Bella and Gigi.

Earlier this fall, Gigi announced she's partnered up with affordable retailer H&M. The model also closed and opened the Versace Fall 2021 show this year - that one was celebs galore, with singer Dua Lipa making her runway debut.

A Moment For Virgil Abloh

The latest on Gigi's Instagram sees her honoring the tragic loss of Off-White founder Virgil Abloh. He passed aged 41 following a secret cancer battle, leaving everyone from Hailey Bieber to Kim Kardashian devastated.

"I am heartbroken by the loss of my dear friend, and a friend to the world, Virgil Abloh," Gigi wrote this week, adding:

"His kindness and energetic generosity left a lasting impression on every life he touched— he made everyone feel seen and special. He will be deeply missed, cherished, and celebrated by me and all the people and industries that have been lucky enough to work around & know the true supernova behind this man."

'Rest Easy, My Friend'

Continuing as she marked the loss of Louis Vuitton's artistic director, Gigi told fans:

"I picture him now like our Mickey Mouse .. forever with us, forever adored, forever magical, forever guiding us with that special Virgil FUN; I'm sure that's how he wanted to be remembered, but still it will never be the same without him in the room."

"Rest Easy, my friend. You are so loved. You were the difference. As we always said.. "See you somewhere, soon," she concluded.

Sixers Rumors: Daryl Morey Still Hoping To Pull Ben Simmons-For-James Harden Blockbuster

Posted: 02 Dec 2021 04:24 PM PST

Since the 2021 NBA offseason, the Philadelphia 76ers have been vocal about their desire to trade All-Star point guard Ben Simmons. While they're making strong efforts to fix the issue with him, they are also actively listening to offers for the disgruntled superstar on the trade market. From the time they made him officially available on the trading block, Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey informed potential suitors that they would only accept an offer that includes another All-Star caliber player.

Daryl Morey Still Eyeing To Swap Ben Simmons For James Harden

One of the top trade targets for the Sixers in the potential deal involving Simmons is All-Star shooting guard James Harden of the Brooklyn Nets. Though the Nets haven't given any indication that they are planning to trade "The Beard," Ian Begley of SportsNet New York revealed that the Sixers still haven't given up on their hopes o swapping Simmons for Harden.

"Even before those reports, Nets people who would need to be aware of Harden's future were well aware that Philadelphia loomed as a potential suitor for the guard, SNY sources say," Begley wrote. "The Sixers and team president Daryl Morey attempted to trade for Harden last season before the Nets landed him. Philadelphia was willing to include Simmons in the trade, which is one of the many factors in Simmons' falling out with the organization."

Trading Ben Simmons For James Harden A No-Brainer For Sixers

Though swapping Simmons for Harden would likely cost them additional trade assets, it should still be a no-brainer for the Sixers. Though he's not an elite defender like Simmons, Harden's potential arrival in Philadelphia would significantly improve their performance on the offensive end of the floor.

Harden would give the Sixers one of the league's best active scorers, as well as a great playmaker, rebounder, and floor-spacer. This season, he's averaging 21.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.5 steals while shooting 41.6 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN.

James Harden Would Make Sixers No. 1 Team In The East

The successful acquisition of Harden would dramatically change the Sixers' fate in the NBA. It would still take time for him to familiarize himself with the Sixers' system but once he meshes well with their core, it could turn them from an average playoff contender into the most formidable team in the Eastern Conference.

Adding Harden to the core of Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, Danny Green, and Seth Curry would make the Sixers a tough team to beat in a best-of-seven series.

Why The Nets Would Make The Trade

As Begley noted, the potential blockbuster deal involving Harden and Simmons is highly unlikely to happen during the 2021-22 NBA season, especially now that the Nets are focused on winning the NBA championship title. The Sixers and the Nets could possibly execute a sign-and-trade deal centered on Harden if Brooklyn and "The Beard" fail to reach an agreement regarding a new contract next summer.

Instead of losing him in the 2022 NBA free agency without getting anything in return, the potential deal with the Sixers would allow the Nets to replace Harden with a young star in Simmons. They could make him Kevin Durant's new superstar running mate or as a potential trade chip in another blockbuster deal.

Coach Steve Kerr Talks About Klay Thompson's Role Alongside Stephen Curry As All-Star's Return Nears

Posted: 02 Dec 2021 04:17 PM PST

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson experienced one of the worst nightmares of his NBA career when he suffered a torn ACL in 2019. The injury didn't only cost them an NBA championship title, but it also forced him to miss the 2019-20 NBA season. Thompson was supposed to rejoin the Warriors in the 2020-21 NBA season but during the 2020 NBA offseason, he suffered an Achilles injury that further delayed his return to the court.

As of now, Thompson is already showing a massive improvement in his rehabilitation and expected to officially join the Warriors soon.

Warriors Recall Klay Thomson From G-League

After seeing that he's 100 percent healthy, the Warriors decided to temporarily send Thompson to their G-League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, to evaluate his performance post-injury. After a few days, the Warriors public relations department announced on their official Twitter account that Thompson, together with Damion Lee and James Wiseman, would be recalled from Santa Cruz.

The decision came before the Warriors suffered a massive defeat at the hands of the Devin Booker-led Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night at Talking Stick Resort Arena.

Warriors Need Klay Thompson

It still remains unknown when Thompson will play his first game in the 2021-22 NBA season. However, after their major weakness on the offensive end of the floor was exposed by the Suns, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr already knew what Thompson's role will be when he sets foot on the court this season.

"When teams are going to commit people to Steph the way that Phoenix did, there is going to be openings," Kerr said, as quoted by NBC Sports. "There is going to be openings for Jordan [Poole], openings for Otto [Porter Jr.], guys who have knocked down a bunch of threes, and there will be openings for Klay Thompson. It's going to be fun."

Splash Brothers Returns

It would still take time for Thompson to return to his old self but once he regains his rhythm, Warriors' fans would have the opportunity to watch the Splash Brothers of Curry and Thompson again. Having both star guards on the floor would make it harder for opposing teams to stop the Warriors' offense.

Before he suffered an injury, Thompson was among the Warriors' top scorers and one of the deadliest three-point shooters in the league. In the last season he played, he averaged 21. 5 points while shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN.

Jordan Poole Expected To Return To The Bench

Thompson's nearing return is expected to put an end to Jordan Poole's stint in the Warriors' starting lineup. Though he knew that being a starter was only temporary, Poole has done a great job serving as Curry's backcourt partner while Thompson was sidelined by an injury. In 21 games he played this season, the 22-year-old shooting guard is averaging 18.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.1 steals while shooting 45.6 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN.

Upon Thompson's return, Poole is expected to lead the Warriors' second unit in terms of scoring. He could also serve as insurance in case Thompson needs more rest or suffers another injury.

Kaia Gerber Shares Beauty Tips She Learned From Mom Cindy Crawford

Posted: 02 Dec 2021 03:33 PM PST

Kaia Gerber is dishing on her well-kept beauty secrets, and it's all top-notch advice that she picked up from her supermodel mom Cindy Crawford.

The Vogue cover star revealed her daily skincare and makeup routine in a video for the magazine earlier in May, months before her 20th birthday. In the clip, given below, Kaia walked viewers through her everyday look, sharing beauty tips she got from her mom.

"My mom has always taken such good care of her skin, so I kind of picked up things from her," she said. "She's always been very conscious of what she's putting on her skin."

Scroll for details and for the video.

Acne Woes

The catwalk queen, Instagram sensation, and BFF of "World's Most Beautiful Girl" Thylane Blondeau has battled the same skincare woes as any regular person before devising her "updated" skincare regimen that she kindly shared with Vogue.

Kaia, who revealed she struggled with hormonal acne in the past, something that admittedly affected her confidence, now keeps acne at bay with Youth to the People's Superfood Cleanser -- the first step on her daily beauty routine.

'"Especially because I was working, so not only did I have to go to school with a zit, but I had to go and do shows sometimes with bad skin," she got candid in the video.

Another product she never goes without is Paula's Choice liquid exfoliator. "I used to be very into exfoliating and I would scrub my face like crazy. And I have learned now that you can exfoliate gently with toners," she shared.

'Swears By' Niacinamide

Perhaps Kaia's number-one secret to glowing skin is niacinamide serum, which the model "swears by."

"It is one of my favorite ingredients of all time. It has saved my skin," said Kaia, who puts down her flawless complexion to Paula's Choice CLINICAL Niacinamide 20% Treatment.

With sensitive skin that would often breakout during Fashion Month, when she typically wears heavy makeup for shows, Kaia says niacinamide has been a life-saver: "That kind of forced me to have a skincare routine that I could rely on, because a lot of the time you can't control what's going on your face."

Next-up in her beauty arsenal is a good eye repair oil, which she uses to disguise her naturally dark under eyes. Her go-to is Glycelene Eye Repair Oil.

Kaia, who says she learned to take care of her under-eye area because she can't "hide being tired," admits that, for her, skincare is a "form of meditation."

"Like I know I have that 20 minutes in the morning and night that I'm just doing something for myself. So I find that to be very relaxing," she said.

Face Sculpting Tips

Another way Kaia relaxes is by giving her face a good massage with a couple of skincare tools, such as her crystal rollers that she makes sure are energetically activated before using them to sculpt her face and get the blood flowing in the morning.

"My face wakes up three hours after me," said Kaia, who admitted she'd "have every face massage device if I could."

A big fan of the gua sha stone, the Calvin Klein face, who's also fronting Marc Jacobs' Daisy fragrance, follows it up with a second roller that she's let cool in the fridge overnight.

"Probably no one will know that I did this except for me, but those are sometimes the best little practices that we have," she says, explaining how such practices "are good for your mental health.

Cardinal Rule: Sunscreen

Kaia, who shared her skincare routine was a constant companion that helped her feel "a lot more comfortable and safe" while traveling the world as a top model, said she developed the regimen "because it was something familiar that I would do every night when I got home."

"No matter the day I had, no matter the work that I had, I know that I had this," she said, noting that her time off during the pandemic helped hone in everything she's learned from her mom and from makeup artists in terms of self-care.

"I'm really appreciative of the year that I've had off because I've been able to evolve with my skin-care routine and figure out a more updated version," she explained.

Speaking of her famous mom, Kaia revealed one cardinal point passed down from the Catwalk star: to wear sunscreen "every single day, even when it's cloudy."

"One of the things she taught me is to handle your décolleté. And don't forget about your chest, especially with sunscreen," she said.

After making sure her skin is hydrated with a good moisturizer -- she leans on Young To The People here, as well -- Kaia religiously applies her Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, following it up with a dab of Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask and a spritz of Caudalie's classic Beauty Elixir.

"Even if you're not outside, it's just as important to wear sunscreen every day," she says. "You don't want to age faster than you need to. Another thing I learned from my mom."

Minimal Makeup

Kaia's makeup style has evolved a lot over the years, from her blue eyeshadow phase and Green Day-inspired eyeliner in high school to the signature "no-makeup look" she sports nowadays.

"When I was in high school, I used to [pile it on]… It was a fun time to experiment with makeup. Now, because my job involves experimenting with makeup, I tend to tone it down," says the supermodel.

Her current minimal makeup style revolves around Yves Saint Laurent products, starting with the brand's Touche Éclat foundation and concealer, which she uses to even out her skin tone and add radiance to her complexion.

"I like to use my fingers as my brushes because it warms the product up in your hand, I feel like. And it just ends up blending more naturally," she says.

The model also pays close attention to her eyebrows, meticulously brushing them before moving on to a creamy blush.

"I love blush. I love the TikTok trend of doing blush on your nose to make you look a little sunburnt," she says, dabbing YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Balm on her lips, across the apples of her cheeks, up over her cheekbones and down the bridge of her nose, as well as onto the outer corners of her eyelids to give herself a sunburnt tint.

"We're not getting sunburned because we don't want wrinkles, so we're going to fake it," she said.

Dealing With Under-Eye Bags

Crowned Model of the Year at the 2017 British Fashion Awards, Kaia gets her good looks from her mother -- but the Fair Game star has also passed down one hereditary trait she's not always been fond of: her under-eye bags. Luckily, Kaia knows exactly how to deal with the issue, and that's where her trusted concealer comes in.

"The skin under your eyes is genetic to a certain extent. My mom has eye bags," she says, joking: "So, you know, people would be like, 'oh sweetie you look so tired,' and I'll be like, I was just on vacation."

However, Kaia has "learned to love them," only resorting to a touch of light concealer to subtly minimize the appearance. "I don't like to cover them too much because I do think they're cool. And they give you like a Kurt Cobain vibe. And even if you had like 12 hours of sleep you still look a little bit cool. Like, 'Who knows what she did last night?'"

Her Signature Makeup Look

Kaia creates her signature makeup look with YSL's Satin Crush beige eyeshadow, using the brand's mascara, subtle micro-winged eyeliner, and cream highlighter to accentuate her gorgeous facial features.

"I just follow anywhere that the light hits," she says, applying highlighter to the bridge of her nose, Cupid's bow, and her brow bone.

Finishing touches include curled eyelashes for an all-natural look and a few strokes of her blush lipstick.

Watch her demonstrate all of her beauty tips for Vogue in the video below.

Posted: 02 Dec 2021 03:07 PM PST

Halle Berry proved it doesn't have to be fancy - and she did it in a bathrobe. The 55-year-old actress, currently celebrating both her #1 movie Bruised and inking a major deal with streaming giant Netflix, has been busy rocking her bathrobe over on Instagram, where a recent share showed her in promo mode for the Flawless Beauty brand she fronts.

Halle was going for some steamy self-care action - she also reminded fans that Flawless Beauty's Facial Steamer is available at Walmart.

Getting Her Steam On

Scroll for the photos. Flawless Beauty is also fronted by 25-year-old former Disney star Dove Cameron. Proving she can ace it next to a gen-z, Halle sent out a makeup-free and fun open-mouthed smile while snapping a selfie and inside her bathroom.

The mirror was definitely somewhat steamed up - the point. Halle wore a cozy and fluffy white bathrobe as she stood next to a magnifying mirror - fans also the Oscar winner with a tan head towel affording major post-shower vibes.

See The Photo Below

Glancing sideways and showing off her clear skin, the mom of two announced her post as a paid partnership, telling fans:

"Getting my steam on this morning! Head over to Walmart and pick up the Flawless Facial Steamer! @flawlessbeauty 💕 #flawlessbeauty #flawlessyou."

"Influencers with up to 1 million followers can get $10,000 [per post], depending on the platform, and 1 million followers and up, you're getting into territory where they can charge $100,000. Some can even get $250,000 for a post!" Halle boasts 7.2 million followers. More after the jump.

"If I'm doing a deep cleanse on my skin, [I'll apply] a homemade mask made of yogurt, honey and lemon for vitamin C. I'm really having fun."

NBA Rumors: Damian Lillard Key To LA Lakers' Second Championship In LeBron James Era

Posted: 02 Dec 2021 02:37 PM PST

After suffering a first-round playoff exit last season, the Los Angeles Lakers became more aggressive in finding their third star last summer. A few days after the 2021 NBA Draft, the Lakers have accomplished their major offseason goal after acquiring All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook from the Washington Wizards. After forming a "Big Three" of Westbrook, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis, they immediately became one of the heavy favorites to win the NBA championship title in the 2021-22 NBA season.

Unfortunately, the Lakers have failed to live up to expectations from a legitimate title contender as Westbrook struggles to make himself fit alongside James and Davis.

Lakers Should Swap Russell Westbrook For Damian Lillard

If they won't show massive improvement with their performance at the end of the first half of the season, some people believe that the Lakers may consider trading Westbrook again before the 2022 NBA trade deadline. One of the dream trade targets for the Lakers in the potential deal involving Westbrook is All-Star point guard Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers. Compared to Westbrook, Zane Harris of Fansided's Lake Show Life_ believes that trading for Lillard would give the Purple and Gold a better chance of winning their second championship in the LeBron era.

"While this would be a move that would cause a lot of controversy, it would almost certainly guarantee the Lakers bringing home their second championship of the LeBron James era," Harris wrote. "It goes without saying what all Dame would bring to this team."

Potential Trade Package To Acquire Damian Lillard

Trading for a player of Lillard's caliber won't be cheap. Though they are both All-Stars, it is highly unlikely that the Trail Blazers would agree to straight swap Lillard for Westbrook. In the proposed trade scenario by Fansided's Lake Show Life, the Lakers would be sending Westbrook, Rajon Rondo, a 2025 first-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick, and two 2023 second-round picks to the Trail Blazers in exchange for Lillard.

If the suggested offer is still not enough for the Trail Blazers, the Lakers may also have to include Talen Horton-Tucker in the trade package.

Damian Lillard A Massive Upgrade Over Russell Westbrook

Lillard may have struggled earlier in the 2021-22 NBA season, but he would still be an incredible acquisition for the Lakers. His potential arrival in Los Angeles would tremendously improve the Lakers' performance on the offensive end of the floor. He would give them one of the league's best clutch scorers, as well as an incredible playmaker and an elite three-point shooter.

This season, Lillard is averaging 21.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 7.8 assists while shooting 39.7 percent from the field and 30.2 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN.

Lakers Actively Recruiting Damian Lillard Since Last Summer

With their current situation, it won't be a surprise if the Lakers are still closely monitoring Lillard's situation in Portland. The Lakers have been actively recruiting Lillard since the 2021 NBA offseason. Before the Lakers engaged in a blockbuster deal with the Wizards to acquire Westbrook, Lillard confirmed in an interview with Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports that James and Davis invited him to have lunch in LeBron's mansion.

Lillard may have initially told James and Davis that he has no interest in forming a superteam, but there's a huge possibility for him to change his mind if the Trail Blazers suffer another disappointing season.
