Paparazzi fall back! The first images of Blue Ivy Carter have been made public by the parents themselves. So purdy–no wonder she already has Daddy wrapped around her little finger! Via Helloblueivytumblr.
See Beyonce and Jay taking their turns holding her on the next page.
So the rumors of Adele landing the cover for U.S. Vogue turned out to be true. She looks good, love the boobiliciousness, Vogue did her justice. All hot on the heels of Karl Lagerfeld’s bishy comments about her needing to lose a few pounds.
This was Tweeted by Roozlynn a couple hours ago…something tells me she’s gonna have a few more followers by the end of the day!
Always a women after our style hearts, Carine Roitfeld flashes her Prada auto shoes from Spring 2012 at a recent event she attended in support of her son. See the top half of her outfit on the next page. Via Thecut.
Viola Davis for L.A. Times magazine….have to say, her team is doing an amazing push for the Oscar, can’t imagine anyone else winning because I don’t know who else is even in the running!
A rep for Kanye West has confirmed to WWD he will show again during Paris Fashion Week on March 6t at 9:30pm. Reviews for his first show were mixed (and in some cases a bit over the top in their zealous meanness), but this is what happens when a celebrity attempts to do things for which s/he is not known. We like creativity combined with fearlessness so naturally we are fans of Kanye, making us team #rooting4dw to make it in the fashion world.
One month after the birth of Blue Ivy, Beyonce makes her first public appearance, in support of her husband Jay Z’s Carnegie Hall benefit show, last night in New York. She chose an Alice Temperley dress, an Alexander McQueen clutch and Loubies. Not that we endorse this or think it’s anything short of nutsville, but since it’s inevitable….let the trash talk over whether or not she looks like she was ever pregnant begin!
See a close up of her bright blue mani and clutch on the next page.
Watch as Giselle gets heckled by Giants fans in the video above as she leaves the stadium after yesterday’s Superbowl. In the video you can hear her say, “My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time,” referring to her husband Tom Brady’s passes dropped by New England Patriots receivers.
First impression–even just being a regular person she stands out as really tall and oh-so-striking with her long, sexy hair. Second: I love her unfilteredness (see prior quotes on breastfeeding and sunscreen) in general and here it’s expressed in the form of loyalty–a trait that wins her bonus points with me. Third: But she shouldn’t blame Tommy’s teammates, that may be okay in the me-me-me world of supermodels but in sports it is often said there is no “I” in team. And finally, I feel for her having to deal with sports fans and their often extra-mean-for-the-fun-of-it, anti-female, fashion and foreigner mentality. Check any of the comments sections for this story elsewhere and they are awful. I always think the fashion industry is cold-hearted, but it’s a fluff ball compared to sports.
The fashion world was buzzing over the Givenchy fashion featured in Madonna’s half time performance for the Super Bowl. M.I.A. also rang up some attention-seeking points when she gave the finger (see image on next page) and sang, “I don’t give a shit,” at the end of her performance. They’ll be speculaton on whether or not that was planned mutually by all, though kind of doubtful given the negative career trajectory of the last performer who chose to go off script. Much more likely that as of now M.I.A. has been unfriended by Madonna to the outer stratospheres for deciding to freelance.
As for the performance itself, the sound was horrible for the first third and Madonna seemed stiff and not her usual confidenct self for a lot of the performance. And then, too, the game itself, featuring the Patriots versus the Giants was very exciting and close at halftime so even at its best the performance couldn’t compete and felt like a bit of an annoying disruption.
Oh the power of being Madonna! She actually manages to make Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. two of the brattiest most headstrong performers in the industry, fall back and tow her line as perfectly well-behaved back-up singers/dancers. Not Mo’s most compelling work by a longshot, looks more like a promo ad for the Superbowl, but it’s fun to watch just to see the three pop-stars all together.
The other night on the phone talking sports, I mentioned a college basketball coach to my Dad, who told me he didn’t like the guy. Why? No rational reason, he said, just didn’t like him. And he laughed. Same for me and Gwyneth. She still bugs me after all these years. And for no great reason. My latest irritation? That she has to name drop Beyonce or Jay-Z or both(!) in every interview she gives. As if that’s gonna help her p.r. issues!
That’s the subsriber’s cover for Paltrow’s Bazaar cover above–I guess everything in fashion is going minimalist. See the newstand one and a few more images on the next page. Via Bazaar where you can read all about how her kids are fluent in Spanish cuz their first nanny was Spanish. Ugh.
