Bianca Censori’s Balenciaga Shoes Break Necks During Kanye West Dubai Shopping Trip

by

No matter who the woman in Kanye West’s life is, you can bet your bottom dollar she’s always going to be wearing something that pushes boundaries. We witnessed the Graduation artist transform Kim Kardashian’s style throughout their relationship, and brief flings with socialites like Julia Fox and Chaney Jones brought forth unforgettable style moments too. Perhaps the boldest fashion choices we’ve seen from the rapper have been during his marriage to Australian architect Bianca Censori. Ye has obviously switched up his style considerably, but he also had an in-house team designing very revealing looks for his wife to wear around Europe all through the summer.

After causing a stir in Italy and other countries, the controversial couple jetted off to Dubai, where West has been busy working on his album with Ty Dolla Sign. Between studio sessions, he spends some of his free time at the mall with Censori. She was recently out wearing some eyebrow-raising Balenciaga pumps; the $1,200+ shoe is from the brand’s Spring 24 collection and is made of faux fur.

Bianca Censori’s Style is Seriously Unique

Balenciaga Shoes

As you may recall, the foreign fashion house faced plenty of backlash not so long ago for endangering children in their bondage bear advertising campaign. Much to the internet’s surprise, they were able to redeem themselves (at least in the eyes of celebrities), hosting a star-studded runway presentation this weekend with plenty of bold new looks. Ye and Censori weren’t in attendance, though Kardashian and Kendall Jenner were there.

Kanye West hasn’t completely cleaned up his reputation after spending much of 2022 berating the Jewish community, but he certainly doesn’t have as many enemies as he once did. As the father of four continues to spend time in the Middle East, we’ve seen him reconnecting with old friends like Lil Durk and signing autographs for eager fans. Read what Timbaland recently had to say about the fellow production legend at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Cardi B Balenciaga Runway Debut Garners Mixed Reactions After She Lashes Out At Chick-fil-A

by

Cardi B may be an hourglass-shaped, designer clothing-wearing, twerking icon when she’s on stage or in the public eye, but during her time off at home, the “Bodak Yellow” artist is just like her fans. She’s no stranger to indulging in the occasional fast food meal, and lately, Chick-fil-A has been her first choice. With their delicious chicken and wide array of sauces, it’s easy to understand why Cardi chose to order from the controversial spot, though they certainly felt her wrath when messing up her order two days in a row.

“I’m soo mad at Chick-fil-A right now 😡😡😡,” the mother of two wrote in a now-deleted tweet earlier this week. “Literally furious!!!” Elsewhere on social media, Bardi posted a video further explaining her situation. “I’m really getting sick and tired of y’all motherf**kers,” she said after naming the location that’s getting her order wrong lately. Going full Karen mode, the New Yorker yelled about putting in a complaint before providing receipts to show the missing dips she requested.

While that chaotic experience was likely a low point of Cardi’s week, the highlight had to be her experience walking down the Balenciaga runway in an oversized blue coat. The Grammy Award winner has long had a relationship with the fashion house, despite them being cancelled in recent years for questionable treatment of children during photoshoots, among other things. The presentation was a surprisingly star-studded event, with Kim Kardashian and Sexyy Red linking up while Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz cheered Bardi on from the front row.

Soul Train Awards: Keke Palmer Hosting Tonight, Reminds Us She’s The Prize In Golden Goddess Dress

by

If you’re someone who has a hard time getting out of bed and facing the world when your life feels like it’s in shambles, look no further than Keke Palmer for inspiration on turning that around. November has been a particularly chaotic month for the Chicago native. She filed (and was granted) a restraining order against baby daddy Darius Jackson after providing evidence of him putting his hands on her in their home on more than one occasion. At this time, the 30-year-old has sole custody of baby Leodis but continues to put her best foot forward and fulfill her work obligations while awaiting court in December.

Today (November 26), Palmer is hosting the 2023 Soul Train Awards, with 21 Sav and her good friend (well, maybe not so good after Mama Sharon’s comments about him in a secretly recorded phone call) Usher leading the way in nominations. The past few days were all about promoting the BET ceremony on social media. In particular, a video posted on Saturday in which she looks trophy-like in a golden Balmain mini dress has our attention.

“Something about those Virgos… ✨,” the True Jackson VP actress wrote in her caption. Her shiny black hair has voluminous curls to add extra drama to her look, which also boasts tasteful golden accessories. In the comments, fans have been praising Keke non-stop for staying focused on herself and refusing to let her ex’s apparent jealousy and insecurity issues hold her back from greatness.

While Keke Palmer keeps busy fulfilling her work obligations and spending time with baby Leodis, Darius Jackson seems to be feeling reflective while celebrating the holidays without his son. On Thanksgiving, the infant’s father posted a collection of sweet family photos of Leo with his grandparents and uncle, though he likely won’t see his baby in person until heading to court with Palmer on December 5th. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Beyonce’s “RENAISSANCE” Film Premiere Look Reminds Us She’s A Blonde Bombshell

by

Ever since Beyonce returned with her highly anticipated RENAISSANCE album in 2022, we’ve been living in her world. The mother of three followed that disco-infused project with a European and North American tour for the ages that concluded earlier this fall, with her and Jay-Z’s eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, joining her mother for most of the performances. Those who weren’t able to catch one of Bey’s concerts in person have likely already secured their tickets for her new RENAISSANCE Tour experience film, with dates scheduled across the nation following the star-studded premiere on Saturday (November 25) night.

We saw famous faces like Lizzo, Kelly Rowland, Halle Bailey, and DDG all make their way down the red carpet in their best dressed. Though she had arguably one of the best looks of her career so far for the big event, Beyonce actually skipped out on walking in with her friends and fans. Instead, the Houston native met up with those who came out to support her inside to snap pictures after posing for a few stunning solo shots.

Beyonce Goes Bold for Her New Concert Film’s Debut

Not only was her strapless silver gown and matching gloves perfectly on theme for the RENAISSANCE film, but the “Halo” hitmaker’s perfectly platinum blonde hair added an icy touch to her look. The premiere went down at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, and according to DailyMail, guests were encouraged to dress themselves in “cozy opulence” for their evening of celebrating Queen B‘s latest successes.

Now that the RENAISSANCE Tour has wrapped and its accompanying film is in theatres, Beyonce’s fans are curious about what the ever-ambitious starlet will get around to crossing off her bucket list next. Earlier this month, rumours began swirling about the potential of a Las Vegas residency. In her typical fashion, the Queen reportedly has a massive budget for her potential performances in Sin City.

North West Wants Yung Miami To “Stop Copying” Kim Kardashian

by

Kim Kardashian’s eldest child with Kanye West, North, is known for her outspoken demeanor. The spunky 10-year-old never shies away from sharing her thoughts, making for an endless supply of entertainment for fans. For this reason, it’s no surprise that she has quite a few hot takes on different celebrities, recently weighing in on City Girls’ Yung Miami.

In a new clip from The Kardashians, North is seen sitting on a couch watching the 2023 Met Gala, giving her opinions on those walking the carpet. Yung Miami then popped onto the screen, rocking a sheer black gown with a dramatic neckpiece, complete with some strands of pearls draped across her torso. While North didn’t appear to be explicitly disappointed by the look itself, she did have some qualms about its similarities to her mother’s.

North West Reacts To Yung Miami’s Met Gala Look

“She’s pretty… It’s just, stop copying my mom with those pearls,” she declared before flashing a peace sign. Kim K showed out in an extravagant custom-made Schiaparelli gown at the event. It famously featured upwards of “50,000 freshwater pearls” as well as “16,000 crystals.” While she had no issues coming to the defense of her mother’s look, North made it clear that she wasn’t a huge fan of that, either.

Later in the episode, she gave her take on the look to Schiaparelli’s creative director himself, Daniel Roseberry. “I like the pearls. I just don’t like that it comes from the dollar store,” she shared, claiming that it made her mom look like a “Hawaiian girl with her dress all ripped.” According to her, there were also “way too (many) gaps in the pearls,” and “the diamonds ruined it.” What do you think of North West’s reaction to Yung Miami’s 2023 Met Gala look? Do you agree with her? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kanye West Gifts Nobu Founder His Iconic Sock Shoes Straight Off His Feet

by

In a move that only Kanye West could pull off, the rap icon recently met the founder of the renowned Nobu restaurant chain. While they met, he gifted him with an item that’s as peculiar as it is uniquely Yeezy. The encounter took place at Dubai’s Atlantis Royale, where Kanye crossed paths with none other than Nobu Matsuhisa himself. However, it wasn’t a typical celebrity meet-and-greet. In true Kanye fashion, he took the unconventional route and, without missing a beat, gifted the culinary maestro his own Yeezy sock shoes—straight off his feet.

The snapshot capturing this moment promptly made its way to social media. In the photo, Kanye and Nobu can be seen sharing a moment. West is standing barefoot, while Nobu is lifting his leg to the camera to show off his new shoes. The internet thought this was funny and amusing. “Bro thinks he’s Jesus,” commented one user, alluding to Kanye’s tendency to be unexpected. And his sometimes controversial self-comparisons to biblical figures.

Kanye West And Nobu Founder Meet

Known for his boundary-pushing creativity and fearless approach to self-expression, Kanye continues to keep the public on their toes. Whether through his fashion choices, music releases, or impromptu gift-giving sessions. In the past, he’s gifted A$AP Bari with a Maybach truck. This gift came after learning that Bari crashed his car.

By parting ways with his own footwear on the spot, Kanye once again showcased his spontaneous generosity. Only time will tell if the shoes will catch on to the mass public. However, Kanye West remains the master of surprises, keeping us all guessing about what unconventional move he’ll make next. Let us know what you think of this gesture! Was this a good gift to give the founder of Nobu? Comment your thoughts on HNHH!

Fabolous’ Questionable Fashion Choices Go Viral

by

Fabolous recently took to social media to show off some of his finest fits. In a clip that’s been making its way around online, he’s seen modeling a variety of eye-catching pieces. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the fits are fan-approved, as countless commenters are now clowning on him for the questionable looks. Some think that the hitmaker ought to employ a new stylist, while others say he just needs to aim for more mature styles.

“He need to cut that sh*t out,” one critical Instagram user says. “Everyday his rap name make less and less sense,” another jokes. Though a majority of fans weren’t feeling his outfits, others came to his defense, claiming that he simply needs some assistance building outfits. “Has good pieces just didn’t put it together right,” one commenter says.

Fabolous Flexes Some Unfortunate Fits

Fabolous is no stranger to taking fashion risks, and obviously, not everything’s going to hit. Luckily, he continues to receive praise for his countless contributions to hip-hop, despite some listeners feeling like he needs to reevaluate his wardrobe. Last month, he was honored at the BET Hip Hop Awards, taking part in a performance alongside DJ Drama. The performance also featured T.I., Jeezy, and even “Mr. Gangsta Grillz himself,” Lil Jon.

While fans didn’t hold back from tearing into the Brooklyn MC’s outfits, the tables were recently turned when he shared his thoughts on a Brooklyn mural. The mural featured portraits of Fabolous, The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and more. A clip of the mural went viral, along with someone providing some hilarious commentary on the less-than-impressive depictions. Fabolous weighed in on the clip, agreeing with the original poster’s takes. “Nah what block is this?” he wrote alongside a laughing emoji. “We gotta knock this wall down.” What do you think of Fabolous going viral for his questionable fashion choices? Are you a fan of the outfits he showed off in the clip, or did he miss the mark? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Bianca Censori’s Outfits During Kanye West Relationship Aren’t Impressing Her Family

by

The experience of being a newlywed brings with it plenty of butterflies, but when the honeymoon period of a relationship ends, reality can hit both partners pretty quickly. That may be what’s unfolding for Kanye West and Bianca Censori at this time, as the pair are currently spending time on separate continents. Sources have alleged they’re “taking a break” while the father of four pours his energy into music and the architect hangs out in Australia, where she’s kept busy reconnecting with her family.

In recent weeks, blogs have been filled with rumours of Censori’s friends being concerned about her marriage. West has a reputation as a very controlling figure to outsiders. His bride’s loved ones hosted an intervention in hopes of waking her up to this reality earlier this month. Among the things that the multi-talent has notably influenced Bianca is her fashion choices. Since marrying Ye, we’ve seen an almost uncomfortable amount of skin – especially during their time out together in Europe.

Bianca Censori’s Style Has Shifted Significantly Since Meeting Ye

According to The US Sun, many of these looks left Censori’s family feeling uncomfortable when photos came out online. “There was a point some months ago when Ye and Bianca were going to meet up with her family, but they were not happy with his antics at all,” a source tells the outlet. “Ever since then they’ve made no secret that they think she can do better, and don’t like seeing her in these [wild] outfits on the internet, it makes them uncomfortable.”

Interestingly, the 28-year-old wore a tiny top showing plenty of cleavage during an outing in Melbourne with her sister a few days ago, proving that she’s still comfortable flaunting her figure, even without her husband by her side. While Bianca Censori spends time Down Under getting back in touch with her roots, Kanye West is keeping busy in Saudi Arabia working on new music with Ty Dolla Sign. After some hiccups, the duo finally premiered their new “Vultures” track featuring Lil Durk and Bump J this past weekend. Tap into that at the link below, and let us know if you think Ye and his wife can work through their differences in the comments.

Rihanna’s Diamond Ankle Watch Costs $400K, Singer Among Grand Prix’s Best Dressed

by

Rihanna’s aura alone is enough to make her shine bright like a diamond, but when you factor in her incredible sense of style, the mother of two is bound to be the most eye-catching woman in any room. She looked particularly stunning while stepping out for the F1 Grand Prix with ASAP Rocky by her side this past weekend. First, the couple surprised fans with an appearance at his pop-up, where even just the sound of another person making his baby mama laugh was enough to make the Testing hitmaker pause mid-interview.

On Saturday (November 18) evening, Rih stepped out in an all-black ensemble, which only brought even more attention to her recently lightened hair. After years of staying on the dark side, the Barbadian is transitioning back to blonde, which perhaps could be a preview of what’s to come from this next era of her creative career. Always known for her epic accessories, Rihanna elevated her sporty chic outfit with a flashy silver ankle watch from Jacob & Co., costing a reported $400K, according to DailyMail.

The stunning piece consists of “70 carats of round and emerald-cut diamonds, set in 18K white gold.” She wore the pricey watch atop her shiny Balenciaga leggings, also adding a chunky necklace and several silver earrings to top off her OOTN. Rih has long been collaborating with Jacob & Co., even wearing a $670K watch as a choker around her next for Pharrell Williams’ Louis Vuitton runway presentation in the summer.
