2023 SAG Awards Red Carpet: See All The Best-Dressed Celebrities
We celebrated some of the best in Black talent during Saturday’s (February 25) NAACP Image Awards. Afterward, the final eve of the weekend found many of the same faces at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards. The ceremony markedly honours each year’s best in TV and film, as well as the best-dressed on the red carpet. This time, it was Everything Everywhere All At Once, Abbott Elementary, and The White Lotus that came out on top.
The latter series is an HBO Original that previously quickly rose in popularity. It was created by School of Rock actor Mike White. The hit show took home two awards last night. One was for Jennifer Coolidge’s iconic performance as Tanya and another for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series. The moment was undeniably huge for everyone involved. Still, Aubrey Plaza was obviously annoyed during her time on stage for the speech.
Audrey’s Awkward Moment
Following the ceremony, footage of the Parks & Recreation starlet has been making rounds on social media for several reasons. She appears to surprisingly be nearly elbowed and pushed out of the way by many costars on the platform. Surely that would bother anyone, but it was the next interaction that seemed to really set Plaza off.
In the middle of the speech, fellow performer Jon Gries obviously appears to make an upsetting comment. Many believe he told the Delaware native her chest was evidently slipping out of her Michael Kors gown. Immediately after the comment was quietly made, she accordingly adjusts her dress, anger obvious on her face. At various points, Plaza specifically seems to mouth, “Shit’s f*cked… Jesus Christ.”
Aubrey’s outfit certainly didn’t turn out the way she had hoped. Thankfully, other SAG Award patrons had far better luck. Zendaya finally gave fans an incredible serve two nights in a row. Elsewhere, Angela Bassett’s bright yellow gown had her glowing. Keep scrolling to see all our red carpet favourites, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Kim Kardashian Struggles Up Stairs In Hip-Hugging Dolce & Gabbana Skirt: Watch
Of the fashion weeks that have taken place across the globe so far this year, arguably the best outfits have been coming from Milan. We’ve already reported on Julia Fox’s bold leather lingerie look, as well as A$AP Rocky’s inspired Gucci logo braids. Now, it’s Kim Kardashian’s turn to break the internet with the various looks she put together for her time in Italy.
The 42-year-old took a trip overseas earlier this week. She’s travelling so far to support Dolce & Gabbana, who requested that she walk in their last fashion show. Back in September, Kardashian was happy to oblige. She sported a high platinum up-do and sauntered down the catwalk in a tight black dress.
Mother of Four Takes Milan
After getting settled in beautiful Italy, the reality star spent some time shopping in Milan’s luxurious stores. She stopped by D&G, of course, showing some skin in a cream-coloured set from the brand. Her cropped jacket had several buckles across the front of it. The entirety of her skirt was made of layered belts in the same colour. On her feet, Kardashian wore knee-high boots that perfectly bring the outfit together.
It remains unclear if she made any purchases while browsing the store. Still, paparazzi photos prove that all eyes were on her. Aside from her stellar style, many have also been taking note of the California native’s face and hair. Some think they appear to have undergone a few changes. In a recent series of posts promoting her latest SKIMS collection, Kardashian was compared to everyone from Monica Bellucci to Megan Fox.

For the Dolce & Gabbana runway, The Kardashians starlet turned up the heat a bit, stepping out in another two-piece set from the brand. Rather than a mini skirt, this one reached her ankles and was covered in bright red jewels. Her upper half was left mostly bare, save for the matching bra top on her chest and two large cross necklaces.
In her hand, the aspiring lawyer carried a tiny purse. The bag was certainly not big enough to carry her phone (or much else). Though stunning, it seems like Kardashian’s OOTD was anything but practical. Her hairstylist, Chris Appleton, captured a video of her attempting to walk up a set of stairs, obviously struggling due to the hip-hugging garment. Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time the mother of four has found herself in such circumstances.

LeBron James Begs Savannah James To “Ger [Her] Ass Home” After Seeing New IG Photos
If there’s one couple that will always go hard for one another, it’s LeBron James and his wife Savannah. The parents of three have a long-lasting bond that first began in high school, and has continued all through the NBA player’s historic career. While he consistently tears it up on the court and puts tons of work into his other various endeavours, the 36-year-old has made a name for herself as an entrepreneur and interior designer.
LeBron is undeniably one of the most recognizable names among American athletes. Due to this, it’s no wonder that Savannah has become a favourite in the public eye as well. Thanks to her celebrity status, the Ohio-born beauty was afforded the opportunity to attend this season’s Milan Fashion Week. Needless to say, the looks we’ve seen her in so far are nothing short of inspired.
Savannah Stuns at Milan Fashion Week
On Saturday (February 25), her beautifully curated feed lit up with a series of snapshots taken at the Gucci show. Savannah looked nearly ready to run an office with all the confidence of a girl boss, though the undone buttons on her pale blue shirt cheekily reveal her bra and give the outfit a flirtatious vibe. “Draped in @gucci for women’s F/W 2023,” she wrote in the caption, crediting the brand for putting together her luxurious garments.
For accessories, James carried a small white purse complete with black trim and gold hardware. A few dainty necklaces were sitting pretty on her neck, while white heels peeped out from beneath her wide-leg pleated trousers. To jazz the pants up a bit, designs were laid out across the legs in tiny pearls and gems, giving them a unique edge.
LeBron Thirstily Shows His Love
For her next front-row appearance, Savannah spiced things up in an all-black Dolce & Gabbana ensemble. She wore a form-fitting quilted coat over what appears to be a full-body lace jumpsuit. Accessories were once again kept to a minimum, with just a small black bag in the social media star’s hand and some small necklaces. Many have specifically been praising this outfit, including her husband, who clearly can’t wait for her return to America.
“Ok now you just showing out!!” the athlete wrote in her Instagram comments. “Get your ass home now and get what you can’t get in Europe! [devil emoji].” It didn’t take long for users to notice the salacious response from LeBron, and many are absolutely loving it. He and Savannah are often referred to as “couple goals,” and fans are always happy to know that they’re still going strong all these years later.

Russell Simmons Told Tommy Hilfiger Rappers Wore His Brand “To Look Rich”
There was a time in Hip Hop history when you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing Tommy Hilfiger. The red, white, and blue striped design was worn by the who’s who of entertainment, from film and television stars to sports icons to Hip Hop and R&B’s elite. For those who lived through that Golden Era of the culture, they will recall when Aaliyah was one of the most famous faces of the brand. In a recent interview, Hilfiger discussed Russell Simmons explaining to him why his brand was so popular in Hip Hop.
“It was so powerful, like an infusion or some sort of a drip,” said Hilfiger, 71. “I was so profoundly inspired by Warhol. I started to look at things like the Rolling Stones tongue, the Nike swoosh, the Mercedes-Benz star, the Chanel Cs and the Gucci Gs [and] I knew I needed my own logo.” In the 1990s, Hilfiger became one of—if not the most—successful brands from the U.S. According to the Irish Times, these days, the brand makes more money outside of America.
Russell Simmons Enlightens Hilfiger
Hilfiger admitted that products flew off the shelves after Aaliyah posed for a Tommy Jeans ad. “The clothes were very inspired by yachting, prep schools, Ivy League, and New England,” said the designer. “Where more aristocratic privileged Americans lived and summered in Cape Cod, Nantucket and the Hamptons. It was actually Russell Simmons, who really is one of the godfathers of Hip Hop, who said to me that young street kids and rappers wanted to wear the clothes because they wanted to look rich.”
He did what any good businessman would, and he catered to his new audience. Hilfiger said he focused on street styles because Hip Hop “love sports and wanted to be sporting.” He added, “So then I started doing big logos. But they wanted everything way, way oversized, because they were buying sizes that were way too large. And so I started just making oversized, and it was a perfect storm. I was dressing Puff Daddy for his tours, I was dressing Biggie Smalls, I was dressing Tupac.”
The Fake News Scandal That Changed Tommy Hilfiger

These days, fact-checking fake news comes with a click of a button. However, in 1997, things were a bit different when it came to sharing lies about public figures. At the time, a story circulated that Hilfiger visited Oprah Winfrey’s talk show and disparaged marginalized people. He was accused of saying if he knew minority groups would love his clothing, he wouldn’t have made them so nice. It was also alleged he stated he didn’t want anyone but upper-class white people to purchase his clothing.
However, it was all a lie. The conversation and appearance never happened, but Hilfiger’s name was permanently scarred. “It was when the internet was just starting,” Hilfiger recalled. “It was devastating that people would think that I would really think that way. And I think people who know me knew that it wasn’t true. But there are so many millions of people out there who didn’t know me but had heard. You didn’t have social media then – these days, if something blows up on [the fashion watchdog] Diet Prada, there are so many comments. It couldn’t happen now.”

Halle Bailey & DDG Sit Front Row At Milan Fashion Week After Battling Breakup Rumours
For several weeks now, celebrities and fashion lovers alike have been flocking to various cities all over the world to catch the countless designer runway shows taking place this season. We’ve already seen the stars take over cities like New York, Paris, and London. Now, things are unfolding in beautiful Milan, where the Gucci F/W 2023/24 collection made its debut earlier today (February 24).
The fashion show was the first designed by creative director Sabato De Sarno, who took over at the Italian house last September. The collection included several bold sheer moments, as well as dramatic fur coats, sleep businesswear, and pops of bold colour. Among those sitting in the audience to take in the runway were DDG and Halle Bailey, who have been aggressively fighting off breakup rumours this month.
DDG Claps Back at Hating Halle Bailey Fans
Though he’s across the world taking in stunning designs this week, the Michigan native still made time to put out some art of his own. His New Music Friday contribution came in the form of “Way Too Petty,” a track which breaks down his recent drama with Rubi Rose. It specifically denies her claims that Bailey was wearing her old shirt, and also includes plenty of disses for his ex.
As he continues to put his relationship problems on blast, fans of the R&B starlet are encouraging her to walk away from DDG. He obviously isn’t taking kindly to this, if his tweets are any indication. “Crazy how the world was just d*cksuckin’ my excellent boyfriend attributes and skills, but as soon as one of my obsessors try to ‘expose’ me, I’m the worse n*gga ever,” he wrote yesterday. “Y’all only do this with successful BLACK men.”
Milan Fashion Week’s Finest
Despite the world’s pleas, Bailey proved that she and the 25-year-old are still very much together during today’s Gucci runway. Looking as stunning as ever in a light pink strappy dress, the Atlanta native sat beside DDG in the venue’s front row. Paparazzi photos show that she didn’t hesitate to show her man affection, resting her head on his shoulder while he cooly looks off into the distance.
For his part, the YouTuber wore a grey utility suit with vintage Gucci monogram details. His feet were fully covered in chunky black boots, and a stack of silver chains peaked out from under his jacket. Others in attendance for the highly anticipated show include A$AP Rocky, Salma Hayek, and Julia Garner. Find more photos of Bailey and her beau at Milan Fashion Week below.

Jordyn Woods & Karl-Anthony Towns Step Out In Style For Date Night
Some thought that the end of her friendship with Kylie Jenner would also mark the finale of Jordyn Woods’ rise to fame. They were clearly wrong, as the socialite’s star has continued to burn brighter and brighter over the years. Not only has she built successful brands for herself, but she’s also been happily in love with NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns for some time now.
They’ve been together as a couple since May 2020, though many years before that were spent getting to know each other as friends. By September 2020 they went Instagram official, and since then, we’ve seen various heartwarming posts come from both Woods and her all-star athlete. Most recently, the former showed off their date night outfits in a sweet photo on her feed.
Love Birds Take The Town
The Life of Kylie alum posted the sweet picture with Towns on Monday (February 20). For his part, the basketball player looked dapper outside of his usual jersey, instead opting for an all-black ensemble. He kept his accessories simple, rocking a gold pinkie ring and a flashy watch to complete his look. Beside him in radiant yellow is Woods, who likely turned heads all evening long in her glamorous gown.
Sporting her hair in a sleek, dark brown bob, the California native followed in her man’s footsteps by layering simple gold jewellery. This photo hides the most breathtaking elements of her dress, though another photo dump on her feed reveals Woods’ toned stomach and curvy figure looking fabulous. It remains unclear where the lovers spent their night, but they were undoubtedly the best dressed in attendance.
Jordyn’s Near-Fashion Faux Pas
@jordynwoods #stitch with @thestellawilliams Stella the dress looked beautiful on you!
Her date night outfit may have been on point, but less than a month ago, the model was called out for a serious fashion faux pas. Shortly after the launch of her Woods by Jordyn collection, a TikToker’s negative review of the garments picked up plenty of attention. While some were quick to try to cancel the brunette beauty, she took time to respond to the situation with complete composure.
“There’s always room for constructive criticism and I’m always listening to the consumer to see how I can get better and improve. I will say there is a way to be honest and real without bringing other people down and other influencers into it.” Woods explains in the above video. “Opinions are subjective until you have felt the material and you know, some people are going to love it and some people aren’t going to like it.”
See more photos of Jordyn Woods’ bright and beautiful date night look below. Afterward, tell us your thoughts on her outfit in the comments. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture updates on all your favourite celebrities.

Pharrell Williams’ London Fashion Week Looks Include A Khaki Blanket: Photo
Whether it’s music or fashion, Pharrell has proven time and time again that he has an exquisite eye for style. On Monday (February 20th), the 49-year-old icon was seen sporting a large Moncler khaki blanket for the brand’s show during London Fashion Week. According to DailyMail, Pharrell attended the Moncler Genius Show with his family, who were all fitted in similar-tone garments. Just last year, the “Down in Atlanta” singer debuted the Maya 70 Jacket as a collaboration with the brand.
From rocking his iconic “Buffalo Hat,” to busting out bold colors with ease, Pharrell has proven his laid-back approach to creating memorable looks. For the show, he paired the blanket with a matching jumper, cargo pants, trainers, and a puffer vest. Of course, the musician added extra flair to the outfit with his branded tall hat, as well as a quirky pair of sunglasses and a Louis Vuitton monogram bag.
Pharrell And His Family Sport Matching Looks At Moncler’s Show
Pharrell’s appearance at London Fashion Week follows the recent announcement of his spot as the new Men’s Creative Director at Louis Vuitton. He supersedes Virgil Abloh in this role following the entrepreneur’s tragic death in 2021. In a statement released on LV’s website, CEO Pietro Beccari wrote a heartfelt message to his old friend.
“I am glad to welcome Pharrell back home after our collaborations in 2004 and 2008 for Louis Vuitton, as our new Men’s Creative Director,” he began. “His creative vision beyond fashion will undoubtedly lead Louis Vuitton towards a new and very exciting chapter.” Thus far, much of the fashion industry is eager to see what Skateboard P’s first collection will look like.
Pharrell As Louis Vuitton’s New Men’s Creative Director
Throughout his acclaimed career, Pharrell has balanced his music resume alongside his steps into the fashion world seamlessly. His first business venture resulted in Billionaire Boys Club, created in partnership with Japanese fashion mogul Nigo. The duo also co-created the skateboarding shoe company, Ice-Cream.
Over the years, the N.E.R.D. member has proven his effortless ability to fuse streetwear and high fashion, which has resulted in a number of collaborations. Pharrell’s first display as LV’s Men’s Creative Director will take place in June during Paris Fashion Week. Be sure to check out HNHH for future details about the show.
Rihanna Dons Huge Fur Coat In First Post-Super Bowl Pregnancy Reveal Outing
Once again, Rihanna is ready to prove that no one does maternity fashion quite like her. The Barbadian singer announced her first pregnancy in an incredibly stylish way last year. She markedly put her budding bump on display in a vintage hot pink Chanel coat. At the time, she and her beau A$AP Rocky casually strolled through New York, allowing a photographer to expertly capture their big reveal.
In her usual fashion, the Bad Gal somehow managed to top that by sharing news of her second baby at the Super Bowl. Rather than just attending the game in Arizona, Rihanna finally made her return to the stage last weekend. During a medley of some of her greatest hits, viewers quickly took note of her obviously growing stomach. The news comes just 9 months after the arrival of her son.
Many were obviously in shock over the news. For the most part, the response has been a shower of praise and well-wishes for the expecting parents. As the hype from her big performance dies down, Rihanna went out for the first time earlier this weekend. Her outfit was far less revealing than the ones she sported the last time she was with child. However, it still earns her major style points in our books.
On Friday (February 17), the 34-year-old hit the town for dinner at her favourite spot, Giorgio Baldi’s Santa Monica location. Paparazzi caught her on camera at the restaurant. She wore baggy denim jeans with various symbols printed across the front and a Godzilla graphic tee. To keep her (and the bit of stomach peeking out from beneath her top) warm, RiRi layered up with a long, brown fur coat.
She kept her accessories to a minimum, rocking black sunglasses and some layered chains. Rather than her usual high heels, the “Diamonds” hitmaker kept cozy in a pair of black and white sunglasses. It remains unclear who her date for the evening was, as no other famous faces appear alongside Rihanna in the new snaps.
As she awaits the arrival of baby number two, the fashionista has been spilling plenty of tea about her son. Not only did she recently tell British Vogue that she and A$AP Rocky didn’t hire a nanny when he was born, but she’s also spoken out about her desire for the young boy to embrace “fluidity in fashion.” Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
