Giorgio Armani Presents Armani Fall 2022 Collection

Posted: 06 Mar 2022 12:59 PM PST

Armani pays tribute to the Ukrainian crisis during the release

Giorgio Armani Opens With Show Of Solidarity With Ukraine

The crowd that gathered at the Via Borgonuovo underground railway station was expecting a more intimate affair for the debut of Armani’s Fall 2022 collection. Still, the label began the night with a written statement from the designer that was read for the crowd in English:

“My decision not to use any music in the show was made as a sign of respect to the people affected by the evolving tragedy.”

As the crowd reacted to the statement, the mood of the room took a decidedly somber tone as Ukrainian flags waved outside of the venue as a form of protest against Putin and the Russian invasion. Pointedly, Armani was the first prominent designer to use his platform to speak out on the atrocities, and with fashion being a sign of our times, the decision to now play music during the presentation brought additional weight and meaning to the collection.

Treasure Through Tragedy

Armani was candid about explaining that his presentation was partly meant to symbolize that something disturbing was occurring in the world, and it could not be ignored. The absence of loud music that usually merges with music on the runway spoke volumes and it was evident that the conflict in Ukraine had impacted the designer’s collection, which had been completed mere weeks before Russian forces infiltrated the Ukrainian borders. The soft silhouettes relayed the message of quiet through the storm and a heightened sense of urgency of surroundings. Armani stated that the clothing became even more powerful with the stillness.

Elegance Through Reduction

What did the spectators take in at the debut of the new Armani collection? Models wore silk skirts softly draped around the ankles, plus tiers of beaded fringe that harkened to the classic 30s era. Armani’s penchant for such a particular time in fashion speaks to his own personal history as a young boy during World War II and the impact it had on his life. From childhood to adulthood, Armani’s aesthetic has been primed and influenced by everything that happened around him, including the occupation on European soil as well as the tolerance and diplomacy that emerged from the aftermath of war and irrevocably changed the continent in ways that had previously been unforeseen. With fashion and history intrinsically aligned, the crowd witnessed dresses made in cubic prints and precision tailoring accentuated with the most subtle display of sparkling crystals.

Sartorial Dignity In Representation

For this latest season, Armani’s collection exuded a quiet softness that translated well through the materials and pieces featured, including a women’s tuxedo that was tailored so that it fell just off the shoulders, or even the faux shearling coats displayed on the runway that were exquisitely laser-cut. According to many critics there for the debut, this latest release from Giorgio Armani was one with levity and dignity that transcended traditional releases.

Post-Pandemic Progress

After becoming one of the first major labels to cancel a show because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Armani is now back in a dramatic way that has found a way to pay respect to current events while also cementing his status as a designer that has chosen to put a spotlight on what moves and inspires. The Armani 2022 Collection is a love letter to the world and a show of solidarity that has made an impactful statement that will resonate throughout the fashion industry.

January Jones Attends Basketball Game In Bustier

Posted: 06 Mar 2022 12:49 PM PST

At 44, Mad Men alum January Jones still knows how to keep heads turning when she steps into a room. This weekend, the single mother attended a high school basketball game and claimed the parents' section was as lit as the students' aisle. If all the moms and dads were anything like the actress, we could only wish to have been a fly on the wall to get all the juicy details!

Bodysuit For The Weekend

One of the things we love about January's style is her ability to dress however she likes regardless of societal expectations and status quo. The 44-year-old decked out in a black lace bodysuit, matching ripped denim pants, and a blue washed denim cropped jacket. The outfit was casual and trendy such that you could've mistaken January for one of the students - yes, she looked that good.

The actress showed off her toned physique in a mirror selfie holding her fringe platinum blonde hair in one hand and iPhone in the other. As far as hot moms go, January Jones fits the list without question.

Keeping It Casual

Denim pants and sexy tops seem to be January's current jam as she wowed her one million-plus Instagram followers in this black and blue number. The off-shoulder long-sleeve stretchy top dipped in the middle, teasing some cleavage action while her black leather belt with a bold buckle cinched her waistline.

The actress wore a single gold coin pendant on a thin gold chain and left her short hair down in a fringe bob. Her bright smile framed with glossy lips highlights this picture because it interprets the endearing child-like nature of the actress through the camera's lens.

Keeping Fit With Pilates

Bodysuits agree with January because of her super-toned physique. The actress has washboard flat abs toned arms and legs that make you wonder how she keeps it all together despite her busy schedule. The actress once revealed to Women's Health she practices Pilates and Barre routines to improve her flexibility and strength. With the amount of work she puts into her body, you best believe she would flaunt it at any given opportunity!

Dress Recycle Trend

Another given is that January is most likely to recycle an already won hit outfit and make it look fresh. She did it with her Golden Globes red Versace dress last year, then with her Dolce and Gabbana lace two-piece for the Emmy weekend. So, if you miss a fire look from the actress, don't worry - you just might catch a remix sometime soon or in ten years!

Eva Longoria Flaunts Legs While 'Having Too Much Fun In Mexico'

Posted: 06 Mar 2022 12:44 PM PST

46-year-old Desperate Housewives alum Eva Longoria lives the real-life suburban wife luxury lifestyle. Her lifelong dream of shifting the US perspective of Mexican culture finally comes to fruition with her latest Tequila partnership. The actress joined forces with Casa del Sol to add a feminine touch to the traditionally perceived masculine drink, and so far, it's been a successful venture.

Is There Such A Thing As Too Much Fun?

Eva stretched out her slender leg on the streets of Mexico, wearing a Gold off-shoulder dress with a bold brown statement belt and cowgirl boots. She fit into the background like she was meant to be there, and if her caption is any indication, she had a fun-filled time. The actress wrote,

"Might be having too much fun in Mexico 🍹."

But is there such a thing as "too much fun?" We think not! The thigh-high slit on her yellow dress showed off her tone legs, letting us know she's still got it and would forever be THAT girl. It's not like we doubted because nobody could ever dethrone Gabrielle Solis. However, the star of her photoshoot wasn't her pretty smile but the bottle of Casa del Sol tequila she perched on her knees.

Why Wait Until Now?

Best believe Eva's heart is in her brand as she waited 20 years to put her stamp of approval on a Tequila company finally. The 46-year-old director told Harpers Bazaar she fielded several requests throughout her career because of her heritage. Despite the prospects and dollar signs, Eva waited until it felt right to get into the business, and it was worth the wait.

"Casa del Sol was the first company that came wanting to honor Mexican heritage first and honor the art of making tequila."The Women's Tequila

When Eva says Casa del Sol is a feminine brand, she doesn't necessarily mean it's a women's drink (though the ladies love it), but female executives run it. Traditionally, men hold decision-making positions in businesses, not just tequila brands, though they also dominate alcohol-making companies. To narrow the gender inequality gap and disadvantages women face in employment, Eva's Casa del Sol employs all kinds of qualified women, from single women to new mothers - the demographic that's often overlooked.

Make A Spicy Margarita With Eva

Eva isn't all work and no play, thankfully. A few days ago, on World Margarita Day (there's a special day for everything), the actress filmed a fun tutorial on making a Spicy Margarita with Casa del Sol.

Eva used her makeup artist's recipe, which you can see in the video below.

Lil' Kim Flaunts Curves In Neutral Shade Fendi Ensemble

Posted: 06 Mar 2022 12:39 PM PST

Lil' Kim is back with a fire outfit, and we have her new stylist to thank for that. At the tail of last year, there was an undeniable shift in her style, and we're not complaining. The new-look screams classy millionaire, and her latest Instagram post is right on brand. Naturally, Fendi is one of those brands that have you looking like money then, coupled with a banging body like Lil' Kim's, we have a definite hit - even the haters can't deny.

Straight Off The Runway

The 47-year-old rapper decked out in neutral-toned Fendi from head to toe, and all we can say is wow! The skintight nude pants hugged her hourglass figure, accentuating her hips and a cream corset top with multipatterned short sleeves tucked into the pants.

Lil Kim completed her outfit with transparent wedge nude boots with a multipatterned top, an iced-out Queen B chain, and a silver iridescent FENDI handbag which she swung towards the camera. Finally, she cinched her waist with a bold Fendi logo nude belt.

Fans Comments

The comment section teemed with positive comments, with fans complimenting her ensemble, photographer, and stylist. One commenter wrote, "This whole entire outfit is sooooo fly & cute🔥," while another said, "My Mother Looks Bomb Asf I 💖 You Kimmy😍😍."

Celebrity friends also showed support in the comment section from Nivea to Olivia Song. Many of them left heart-eye emojis, amongst other positive reactions underneath the post.

Fendi SS22 Collection

Lil Kim's fire outfit is from Fendi's latest SS22 collection designed by creative director Kim Jones. According to the official Instagram account for the Fashion House, each pair of Lil Kim's shoes takes over 20 hours to make. Phew!

"These #FendiSS22 runway boots showcase an elaborate intarsia motif, hand-crafted from a combination of suede and leather – each pair takes more than 20 hours to create."Fendigraphy Bags, The NEW IT Tote? "From timeless shades to seasonal finishes, all accented with the statement #Fendi lettering – the #Fendigraphy bag is on everyone’s wish list this season. Explore the latest #FendiSS22 arrivals at Fendi.com and in Fendi boutiques worldwide."

Fendi was right when it touted its Fendigraphy bags as the must-have for the season because Lil' Kim is already proving them right. The collection reimagines classic Fendi design by using bold lettering to represent current audacity against the classic era's subtle design. With the way Lil' Kim slew the outfit, we can expect more stars to recreate the look soon.

Drew Barrymore Stuns In Floral Dress

Posted: 06 Mar 2022 12:32 PM PST

Drew Barrymore proved once again that's she's your everyday girl despite the fame and fortune as she got ready for her appearance on Jimmy Fallon's show. The 47-year-old actress changed her outfit three times before settling on a simple Fallon sweatshirt and denim pants combo but not before we caught a glimpse of her 80s-inspired floral-print dress.

Getting Ready With Drew

Getting in the right headspace before a major show appearance does wonders for your confidence, and Drew Barrymore knows that all too well. As a talk show host herself, the actress now knows the Do's and Dont's of the trade, and she made sure to harness all that she learned for her Fallon Tonight appearance.

Drew invited her 15 million-plus Instagram followers to get ready with her from the makeup room to the dressing room. In that short intimate moment with her fans, she revealed HBO's hit TV series Euphoria inspired her makeup as she picked up a FLOWER palette from her makeup brand.

Then, she tried on three different outfits, including two floral print designs - one dress and a dress shirt. The casual midi dress had a rose pink background and blue floral motifs reminiscent of the 1980s, and she topped off the look with bright pink lipstick. Unfortunately, the talk show hostess wasn't feeling the outfit as much as us, so she changed.

Flower Beauty

FLOWER Beauty is part of Drew Barrymore's business empire which she launched in 1995. The cosmetics off-shoot started in 2012 and has grown into a beauty empire. Fans love it for its affordability and cruelty-free products. Since its inception, the brand has won many awards and has glowering reviews for its quality and efficiency.

Something Casual For A Night Chat

Drew settled for a crewneck grey pullover with bold letters spelling Fallon in blue on the chest. Thankfully, she kept her bubblegum pink lipstick and left her hair down the center in waves as she prepared to take on the night. Because she rolled up her sleeves, we caught a glimpse of her arm tattoo though it wasn't close enough to read.

The Lemon Challenge

You can always count on Drew to participate in a fun game; after all, she has an entire segment on her show dedicated to games. Jimmy challenged her to do the Lemon Challenge, where they had to eat lemon wedges without reacting. The best friends started so well and almost got through until the tinge hit and Jimmy broke character. Drew, however, commended the fruit selection saying these were good lemons (quality lemons.)

Salma Hayek Serves Eternal Glow In Swimsuits

Posted: 06 Mar 2022 12:26 PM PST

The 'Eternals' star is serving her fans big swimsuit surprises!

Salma has the keys to eternal youth and vitality!

Salma Hayek has always been known for taking great care of her body, but even at 55 years young, she shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, she's busier now than she has ever been in recent memory. After bringing in the new year with a Super Bowl ad with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Hercules and Hera, respectively, Hayek has taken a small break to relax after juggling several heavyweight projects, including Marvels Eternals, which debuted at #1 at the box office and introduced the Mexican bombshell to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starring alongside Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, and Kumail Nanjiani.

Salma Is a Serious Jetsetter

No matter what projects she may be trying to balance as a producer and her duties as a mother, Hayek still manages to celebrate her life, and her 20 million Instagram followers are used to seeing her rock a red carpet dress or relaxing poolside in a one-piece.

Either way, Salma keeps it chic, with her toned arms and legs on full display. In one post, Salma shares how she starts her daily routine, posing in a leopard-print one piece:

"First #coffee of the first #monday of the first month of a brand new year, 😎💫" she wrote in the caption.

While fans are astonished that Hayek can keep it all together at her age, she believes that listening to her body and not killing herself with stringent diets is the key to her success.

Salma Is NOT The Exercise Girl

While many Hollywood stars her age are on workouts that yield outstanding results, Salma maintains a relatively low-key approach to diet and exercise by not following one standard routine. She does, however, have a trainer that she works out with around five to seven times a week. She keeps her workouts fresh by going back and forth between HIIT training, cardiovascular exercises, and strength training.

Enter Yoga

A big believer in restorative yoga, Salma likes to work her muscles every day, even holding in her muscles while brushing her teeth for certain poses to maximize her time. She claims this is one of the best ways to get in a great workout when you don't even realize it!

Enter Food

And when it comes to food, Salma rarely eats meat but doesn't follow a strict mandate regarding her eating habits. Instead, she eats in a way that feels good for her body and figure.

If it works for Salma, it works for us!

NBA Rumors: D'Angelo Russell & Malik Beasley To Lakers, Russell Westbrook To Timberwolves In Proposed Deal

Posted: 06 Mar 2022 12:20 PM PST

Veteran point guard Russell Westbrook is currently facing an uncertain future with the Los Angeles Lakers. The arrival of Westbrook last summer was supposed to make the Lakers a better team in the 2021-22 NBA season, but things didn't go as they expected. Aside from his inconsistent performance on both ends of the floor, Westbrook is also clearly struggling to make himself fit with LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the court.

The season is yet to come to an end, but multiple signs are pointing out that Westbrook and the Lakers would be parting ways in the 2022 NBA offseason.

Dream Trade For LA Lakers

In a recent article, Addam Goldman of Fadeaway World talked about multiple trade ideas that the Lakers could make in the 2022 NBA offseason. These include a dream blockbuster deal that would enable them to get rid of Westbrook while acquiring two quality players who would help them become a more competitive team in the Western Conference in the 2022-23 NBA season. In the proposed trade scenario, the Lakers would be sending a trade package centered on Westbrook to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for D'Angelo Russell and Malik Beasley.

Why The Timberwolves Would Make The Trade

Even if they would also get future draft assets in return, the proposed blockbuster trade would certainly raise some eyebrows among the Timberwolves' fans. However, Goldman offered a simple explanation why the potential deal would be worth exploring for the Timberwolves next summer.

"The Timberwolves make this deal for Russell Westbrook because he's still a valuable NBA player," Goldman wrote. "Brodie's an awful fit next to LeBron James, but his drive and kick game would flourish with Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, two excellent three-point shooters."

Proposed Deal A No-Brainer For Lakers

While the Timberwolves are expected to think twice before making the trade, the proposed blockbuster deal would be a no-brainer for the Lakers. The suggested trade would allow the Lakers to replace Westbrook with two younger, starting-caliber players who would complement James and Davis on the court. Russell and Beasley may not be as accomplished as Westbrook, but with their ability to space the floor and excel in an off-ball capacity, they would be the perfect role players that the Lakers need around James and Davis.

Sharing the court with two legitimate floor spacers would make it easier for James and Davis to penetrate the basket or kick the ball out when the opposing team's defense traps them.

D'Angelo Russell Returns To Lakers

Russell may not have shown any sign that he's no longer happy with the Timberwolves, but he would be intrigued by the idea of playing for the Lakers again. The Lakers were the team that selected Russell as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Aside from the opportunity to represent the Purple and Gold for the second time, leaving the Timberwolves to join forces with James and Davis would give Russell a better chance of winning his first NBA championship title next season.

In 2021, Kaia attended the star-studded Met Gala in a stunning and feminine strapless dress, opting for luxury and custom-made Oscar de la Renta. The all-black look was flawless. Check it out below.

Effortlessly classy, the Marc Jacobs fragrance face went for doll-like and curled 1940s hair, sporting a red lip and discreet matt makeup.

Oscar de la Renta ensured the appearance was marked on its social media, posting to Instagram and writing: "The Best of 2021: @kaiagerber was a vision as she channeled classic American glamour for the #metgala in a custom corset gown with ivy thread work embroidery. #odlrredcarpet." Fans, meanwhile, were quick to pick up on the old-school glam - one wrote:

Not Much Free Time

The ex to Pete Davidson was still in high school when the iconic magazine profiled her, adding: "I use my free time for work, but because I love it so much, it doesn't feel like work and I still have fun with it. I don't really have days where I can sit and do nothing!" Kaia has, since 2018, been the face of YSL Beauty - the French label's clothes, meanwhile, are fronted by 25-year-old supermodel Hailey Bieber. For more from Kaia, give her Instagram a follow.

Pop Star Grimes Reveals Futuristic Poses In Bikini

The singer and songwriter is known for her cutting edge looks and singular style

Grimes Is In A League Of Her Own

The pop sensation known as Grimes (born Claire Elise Boucher) is a prodigious performer on the scene. Although the Canadian is a chameleon of sorts when it comes to her look and sound, her fans are always intrigued whatever direction she decides to go. And fans that follow her across her social media networks know that Grimes never disappoints in capturing a moment in her hectic life!

Grimes Keeps It Visual

Grimes has always been in a class all her own when it comes to her unique style, and no matter what genre she tackles for a video or photoshoot, she always gets the assignment. In a recent new post on her Instagram account, Grimes had her more than 2.3 million followers seeing plenty of red – from the red flashing laser lights to her red bikini bottoms with a red curtain as the backdrop. The photo was a promotion for her 'Shinigami Eyes,' a track that will prelude her double album Book 1 and the new EP Fairies Cum First.

A Spotlight on Electronic Pop

Since bursting onto the scene in the late 2000s as an independent artist, Grimes has cultivated mass appeal by staying true to her roots of mixing it up as she sees fit and juggling genres in an intriguing way that has resonated with critics and fans alike. The self-taught musician and visual artist released two albums, Geidi Primes and Halfaxa, on Arbutus Records in 2010, later signing a deal that brought her third album, Visions, to the masses in 2012. The dark and edgy album was the beginning of her pop relevancy, and from there, Grimes has only ascended as a pop artist.

Art Angeles & Accolades

After receiving the Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year from her 2012 release, Grimes followed it up with Art Angels in 2015, which was proclaimed her most important album to date and the best album of the year. The musical genres included on the album had everything from R&B, dreampop, hip hop, and electronica.

Fans can hardly keep up with Grimes's many looks, but what they know without a shadow of a doubt is that underneath all the many looks and costumes lies a gorgeous woman that is able to carry off any style she sets her mind to. A few swimsuits Grimes has debuted to the fans have turned her into a pinup girl with a style many want to emulate.

Grimes & Elon Musk

Since their surprise debut as a couple at the 2018 Met Gala, Grimes and CEO Elon Musk have been a pair that have captivated and kept many wondering what is behind the unlikely pairing. Interestingly enough, the two met through Twitter due to their shared interest in artificial intelligence. It was even more of a surprise when the billionaire SpaceX CEO and the musician announced they were expecting their first child together. No one knows what to expect from the two, and that may be just the way they want it!
