A Calvin Klein Ad That Allegedly Presents FKA Twigs As A ‘Stereotypical Sexual Object’ Is Now Banned In The UK

A controversial Calvin Klein advertisement has been banned in the United Kingdom. The ad, which features recording artist FKA Twigs, debuted last April and sees Twigs standing in the center of the photo nude, covered in loose-fitting clothing.

According to a report from Rolling Stone, the ad prompted several complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority. The ASA reportedly ruled that the ad can no longer be displayed in its originally printed form in public, arguing that it depicts Twigs as a “sexual object.”

“The ad used nudity and [centered] on FKA twigs’ physical features rather than the clothing, to the extent that it presented her as a stereotypical sexual object,” the ASA said in a statement. “We therefore concluded the ad was irresponsible and likely to cause serious [offense].”

At the time of writing, neither Twigs nor Calvin Klein have commented directly on the ban. Last year, upon the campaign’s launch, Twigs spoke to Rolling Stone expressing pride in her images.

“Doing [this campaign] means I can be who I am — A strong woman. That isn’t going to go in and out of fashion,” said Twigs at the time. “”When I’m in my 60s and have grandchildren, I can show them these pictures and say, ‘Your grandmother was strong.’”

Kendall Jenner’s Topless Calvin Klein Campaign Photos Serve Sexy Holiday Style Inspiration

Kendall Jenner is the only one of her family’s six siblings who remains without children. Little sister Kylie is a mother of two, while the eldest Kardashian, Kourtney, just welcomed her fourth (and first with Travis Barker). Kim and Khloe have a total of six between them, and the only brother, Rob, is a father of one – Dream – who he shares with Blac Chyna. Likely, this often causes the 818 Tequila founder to feel pressure to settle down and start a family, but it doesn’t seem as though she and Bad Bunny are moving in that direction anytime soon.

Instead, Jenner has been deep in her modelling back ahead of the holiday season. We previously saw her (ass)ets front and centre in a festive Jacquemus campaign. Now, the California native is the face of Calvin Klein’s new advertisements, some of which see her flaunting her toned stomach and cleavage beneath a blazer without anything else providing modesty. “Tossed on tailoring. @kendalljenner wears the Soft Twill Relaxed Blazer and Trousers,” the brand wrote in their Instagram caption on Mondy (November 20).

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Calvin Klein shoot without some comfy but sexy lingerie shots. We love seeing Jenner model lacy, dramatic looks for Victoria’s Secret, but these are far more subdued, with the 28-year-old donning a high-cut black thong and a simple, elegant black bra while sprawling out across a couch in a loft. Obviously, this outfit isn’t one for holiday dinner with the family, but it is perfect for surprising your bae during cuffing season.

Kid Cudi Poses In New Calvin Klein Campaign

by

Kid Cudi is a busy man these days. As many of you are already aware, he is gearing up to release a brand-new album called INSANO. This project is going to come out on September 15th. Overall, there is a lot of hype for the project given who might be featured. Names like Travis Scott and Playboi Carti are floating around, which is absolutely huge. Not to mention, there are rumblings that a collaborative project with Travis could still happen. Needless to say, Cudi is giving fans a reason to be hyped up.

Additionally, Kid Cudi is now part of the latest Fall 2023 campaign for Calvin Klein. Alexa Demie of Euphoria is also part of the campaign, which gives this quite a bit of star power as something that “redefines sensuality through scenes of pleasure and play.” The pictures and poses that accompany the new campaign certainly play into that narrative. Below, you can see Cudi shirtless while wearing some of Calvin Klein’s iconic pieces. Ultimately, it is a cool campaign for Cudi to be part of.

Kid Cudi For Calvin Klein

When it comes to INSANO, it should be interesting to see what kind of direction the artist goes in. Throughout his career, Kid Cudi has ventured into various different sounds. He could do the rock thing, or he may even dive into the world of rage beats. At this point, the musical direction is a mystery and we are intrigued. However, with the inclusion of Carti and Scott, it is safe to see that this is an album that will resonate with the youth. Hopefully, it is able to deliver on all fronts.

Let us know your thoughts on Kid Cudi’s appearance in the campaign, in the comments section below. Additionally, tell us your expectations for INSANO. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will be sure to bring you the biggest releases from the biggest artists.

Michael B. Jordan Apologizes To His Mom For Nearly Nude Calvin Klein Photoshoot

by

It’s Michael B. Jordan’s world, we’re just living in it. In recent weeks, the Black Panther actor’s name has been making headlines thanks to various impressive efforts on his part. Just last month he exciting job of hosting on Saturday Night Live, and his opening monologue certainly didn’t disappoint. At the time, he addressed his breakup from Lori Harvey, which shocked fans of the couple in mid-2022.

Aside from that, the 36-year-old star is gearing up for his directorial debut, Creed III to hit theatres. The film is set to release on Friday (March 3), alongside a fire soundtrack executive produced by J. Cole and his Dreamville crew. For the past few days Jordan has been attending red carpets and giving interviews about his upcoming project, as well as the racy Calvin Klein photoshoot he just dropped.

Michael’s Mom Knows He’s Got It Going On

On Monday (February 27), a collection of black and white images showing the California native’s chisled body in various pairs of CK underwear made their debut. As expected, it wasn’t long before thirsty replies began pouring in, chiefly on Twitter. From propositioning the actor for sexual favours to admitting to excessively zooming in on the images, users didn’t hold back when revealing their freaky fantasies abut Jordan.

While chatting with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, the multi-talent admitted that he gave his mom, Donna Jordan, an apology before the NSFW images went public. “I was like, my mama gon’ have to see this. Let me call her and be like, ‘I’m sorry. It’s out here.’ My business all out in the streets — literally,” he joked. Regardless if his family matriarch approves or not, the reactions prove that Jordan is one step closer to beating those “corny” allegations.

Creed III is Around the Corner

The Creed III premiere is quickly approaching later this week, and ahead of that, Jordan has been hinting at the possibility of more projects to come in the “Creedverse.” Specifically, he mentioned the possibility of “a spin-off of the TV show, the animation or graphic novel, or a video game.” Read what else the director had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Michael B. Jordan’s Calvin Klein Photos Have Twitter Thirsting

by

As he prepares for the quickly approaching premiere of his directorial debut, Creed III, Michael B. Jordan is more in his element than ever before. The actor’s schedule has been filled with meetings, photoshoots, and red carpet premieres recently, and he’s been bringing his best energy to them all. However, that doesn’t mean he won’t hesitate to check reporters over their past insults now that he’s in his prime.

Last week, the California-born entertainer stepped out for an early screening of his film. Ahead of the movie’s start time, he took a moment to chat with Lore’l of The Morning Hustle, who he accused of previously calling him corny. It’s since been confirmed that a cohost was actually the one to make the defamatory comment, which she doubled down on before also bringing Nick Cannon’s name into the conversation.

Michael Reacts to “Corny” Comments

When Lore’l told viewers that she and Jordan “go way back,” he called her out, saying, “Oh yeah, I was the corny kid, right?” The interviewer went on to defend herself and state that she was being misquoted before assuring the 36-year-old that “he is obviously killing things out here.” Before the multi-talent walked away, she added, “You’re not corny anymore.”

It didn’t take long for internet sleuths to pull up the audio of the past interaction, during which Dominique Da Diva had some things to say about Jordan. “You know what I really think deep down inside? I think that Michael B. Jordan is a nice, corny guy, and I don’t mean that as a slight,” she quipped at the time. “We all know the nice, corny guys treat you the best.”

Twitter Thirsts After MBJ

Regardless of the “corny” allegations he’s battling, the Black Panther star’s new Calvin Klein photos have reminded social media how much of a heartthrob he really is. Unleashed on Monday (February 27), the black and white images see Jordan posing in various colours of the brand’s form-fitting boxer briefs, putting his abs on full display. Obviously, it didn’t take long for thirsty replies to start pouring in.

“It’s going to take the rest of the day to recover from this,” Hulu’s official account wrote this afternoon. “We goin’ turn that creed into BREED,” and “All I would need is 10 minutes and every fluid from his body would be drained,” other, more salacious replies read.

Megan Thee Stallion Is One Of The New Faces Of Calvin Klein’s 2021 Campaign

by

Megan Thee Stallion is one of the new faces of Calvin Klein. The staple fashion brand recruits the Houston Hottie, along with other stars like actor Anthony Ramos, reggae star Koffee, and singer/songwriter Rina Sawayama, for its new 2021 campaign. Along with the usual print images, the campaign includes an enigmatic short film featuring the campaign’s stars asking viewers, “What makes you vulnerable?”

The campaign is just the latest high-profile brand sponsorship for Thee Stallion this year. Last month, she spoofed the 2004 teen comedy classic Mean Girls in a separate campaign for luxury brand Coach after being featured on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Unfortunately, fans weren’t happy about the Harper’s shots, even after it was revealed that Megan herself got approval over the photos.

Of course, the Hotties were quickly appeased by an anime voice actor’s shout out to the “Body” rapper, and she got approving co-signs from both Congressperson Maxine Waters and actor Idris Elba. She’s also on-track to graduate this year and follow through on her plan to open an assisted-living facility with her classmates. It’s safe to say that after 2019’s Hot Girl Summer and 2020’s Good News, Megan Thee Stallion isn’t going anywhere in 2021.
