Pharrell Wins Paris Fashion Week With His $1M Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag

Paris Fashion Week has seen many of the biggest names in hip-hop take over France in style this month. Of course, none of them are doing it quite like Pharrell. The Virginia-born creative was actually one of the main events earlier in the week as he made his debut as the menswear designer of Louis Vuitton on June 20. As expected, the collection has been receiving rave reviews so far. However, internet trolls are comparing some of the looks to Minecraft characters due to their pixel patterning.

In the days since proudly unveiling his first collection, Pharrell has been spotted supporting various other designers at their runways. His longtime friend Nigo impressed with his work at the Kenzo show. As High Snobiety notes, he’s also been photographed at Junya Watanabe and Dior’s presentation. The producer’s wife, Helen Lasichanh, was by his side (cooly dressed and looking naturally radiant), and his eldest son, Rocket Williams, joined them to see Kim Jones’ latest work.

In many photos, Pharrell has been carrying with him a bright yellow, monogrammed Louis Vuitton Speedy bag – one of the standout pieces from his collection. It’s a good thing it’s so attention-grabbing, seeing as it’s worth an estimated $1 million.

It’s been nicknamed the “Millionaire” bag, and has such a hefty price tag because it’s “cut from crocodile leather and affixed with both a chunky gold chain and diamond padlock, all handmade in one of LV’s fairly young leather ateliers.”

Halle Bailey Stuns At Paris Fashion Week

Halle Bailey is looking incredibly elegant at Paris Fashion Week. There may be many celebrities in attendance, but Halle is definitely a standout. The actress and singer was photographed attending the Ami Alexandre Mattiussi menswear show. The 23-year-old Little Mermaid star showcased a classy all-grey ensemble. The outfit consisted of an oversized blazer, a matching top, and high-waisted flared trousers. Additionally, Halle added a touch of height with black stiletto heels. Drop earrings featuring beautiful pearls acted as the finishing touches to Halle’s look.

Halle’s makeup was just as stunning as her outfit. It featured a glamorous palette of different products. Her face was adorned with sparkling eyeshadow, thick eyeliner, and a bold plum lip gloss. Furthermore, the actress’s hair was on point as always. Her flawless dreadlocks, cascading down her shoulders and chest, completed the stunning look. You can see a pictures of the full look at the source link.

Halle Bailey has been receiving significant attention since her impressive debut as Ariel in the Little Mermaid reboot. The film has achieved the highest fan rating among live-action Disney movies on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a current approval rating of 95% based on over 5,000 ratings. This surpasses the previous record set by Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin, which had a 94% audience rating. Despite initial backlash over Halle’s casting, the movie performed exceptionally well at the box office. Furthermore, it debuted at number one with an estimated $118 million over the Memorial Day weekend in the United States. The casting of Halle likely has quite a bit to do with the film’s success.

The film received mixed reviews from critics. It has a current approval rating of 67%. However, it has garnered global praise for Halle’s performance as Ariel. The actress herself was moved by videos of children reacting joyfully to seeing a black woman portray a Disney princess. Halle expressed her gratitude for the emotional impact she has had on young viewers. She compared it to the effect that Anika Noni Rose’s portrayal of Tiana in The Princess and the Frog had on her own perspective. Additionally, Halle emphasized the importance of representation and the deservingness of black individuals to occupy such roles.

I just need to tell you right away.’ Me and my father could never be speaking for f***ing years. If that was to happen, I’d be like, ‘Hold on, let me just tell you this. Let me bring it to your attention.’ hopefully, he’ll be like, ‘Yo, you know what? Do it.’” For more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray, stay posted on HNHH.

Avril Lavigne & Tyga’s Relationship Not For Publicity: Report

Avril Lavigne and Tyga are reportedly serious about dating, according to TMZ. While the couple hasn’t put any labels on their relationship, their recent trip to Paris Fashion Week wasn’t just a publicity stunt. Citing sources close to the two artists, the outlet reports that their hanging out has nothing to do with promoting an upcoming collaboration and that they are genuine about one another.

Lavigne and Tyga have since returned from Paris and are still spending time together. Over the weekend, the two were spotted at the Italian restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, in Sant Monica for a romantic date.

The news comes just weeks after Lavigne called off her engagement to Mod Sun. He had proposed to Lavigne just one year ago while also in Paris. Mod Sun confirmed the split in a post on Instagram afterward. “In 1 week my entire life completely changed…I just know there’s a plan for it all,” he said. “I’ll keep my head up + always listen to my heart, even when it feels broken [broken heart emoji]. Being surrounded by love every night on tour has been an absolute blessing. I have the best friends in the entire world, thanks for always having my back. See you on stage.” Mod had recently included a track titled “Avril’s Song” about his love for Lavigne on his latest album, God Save the Teen. “She blew me a kiss, And I didn’t wanna blow my brains out anymore,” he sings. “And she is everything I’m not. Without her, I am lost.” The two also collaborated on the track “Shelter.”

Tyga was previously in a relationship with Kylie Jenner as well as Blac Chyna, with whom he shares a child. Chyna recently reflected on their relationship during an interview on The Jason Lee Show. She remarked that Tyga kicked her out of his house before he set his sights on Kylie Jenner.
