Lupita Nyong’o’s New Boyfriend Selema Masekela Makes His Debut On Her IG: Watch

by

Following a triumphant return to the screen in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever recently, Lupita Nyong’o is feeling on top of the world. So much so, in fact, that the actress is feeling ready to let down her guard and give fans a look at her latest romance.

In the past, the 39-year-old has markedly kept her love life private. Now, however, a spark is burning with Selema Masekela, a famous TV host and sports commentator. On Friday (December 23) she uploaded a video of them together, showing off only a few of their best outfits.

“We just click! @selema #thisismylove #nuff said,” the actress wrote in the caption. The footage is soundtracked by Iniko’s “The King’s Affirmation – Chill Mix” featuring Reuel Williams.

In unison with the music, we see Nyong’o and Masekela correspondingly snapping as they transition from look to look. Firstly, they appear in matching printed robes, but shortly after that they flaunt their figures in purple cheetah print swimwear.

Next, the 51-year-old embodies the sunshine as he steps into a vibrant yellow suit. For her part, the Marvel starlet dons a neutral floral dress with subtle yellow details. The couple looks ready to dance the night away at a wedding, or model together in a luxury campaign.

At this time, very few details are known about how Nyong’o met her match, though she seems undeniably happy and has a certain glow about her in the sweet debut video.

Previously, she was romantically linked to Black Panther costar Michael B. Jordan. As PEOPLE notes, they staged a makeout scene in a photo booth at a 2019 Golden Globes party. Afterward, though, they both denied dating rumours that came their way.

“It’s flattering at the end of the day,” Nyong’o told Entertainment Tonight several years ago. “I think it’s such a rare thing to find people you have good chemistry with and too for us to find each other as actors and get to work together, it makes the work richer that we truly enjoy each other’s company on and off screen.”

Lori Harvey & Damson Idris Fuel Dating Gossip In West Hollywood: Watch

by

No more than a year ago, if you asked pretty much anyone online, they’d tell you that Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey were an “end game” couple. Practically since the start of their union, it seemed as though the model and actor were preparing for an eventual walk down the aisle. However, all of that suddenly and unexpectedly ended earlier this year when they announced their split to the world.

Since then, the Memphis native has been maintaining her single-girl status – until now, that is. Earlier this month, rumours began running rampant about her and Snowfall actor, Damson Idris. For the most part, many expressed jealousy over the gossip. Others, however, praised Harvey for her Thanos-like ability to collect fine men like infinity stones.

While there were previously no photos to substantiate any claims of an ongoing fling between them, that began to change this past weekend. As Just Jared reports, the famous pair were dining in Los Angeles a few days ago.

To avoid any suspicion, they arrived separately for their date. Additionally, details posted on @theneighborhood talk reveal that Idris’ security escorted him to the rear passenger seat of his Escalade after 10:30 PM that night.

Minutes later, his guard returned to the restaurant to safely usher Harvey to the other side of the vehicle. After leaving Olivetta, the rumoured couple reportedly went to Catch Steak to celebrate Zack Bia’s birthday party.

Sources say they waited for photographers to leave that venue before dipping near midnight. This time it was ladies first as the 25-year-old was escorted back into the Cadillac. Idris came soon after, and they sped off to their next location.

Speculators think that Harvey and her apparent new beau left separately to avoid being photographed together.

Along with the Damson Idris gossip, earlier this month came a rumour suggesting that the socialite requires the men she’s romantically involved with to sign an NDA. This isn’t uncommon practice among celebrities, however, Lori Harvey’s allegedly has a severe financial penalty if broken.

Read all the juicy details about that here. Afterward, let us know what you think of the potential new couple in the comments.

2022 Apparel Trends

by

In any given year, you can expect apparel trends to be wildly different than the previous year. This is ultimately because tastes are constantly changing and fluctuating. Additionally, influencers are oftentimes doing their own thing, and then eventually, others follow suit.

Throughout 2022, there is no doubt that the trends were peculiar, yet interesting. Every single year, Alias comes out with its Seller Report, which comes with a plethora of unique data points on consumer trends. Subsequently, we now know that fashion trends such as Barbiecore, Y2K, Utility, and Vintage were all the rage this year.

Moreover, there were some big brands that stole the show. For instance, Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God Essentials has proven to be the biggest apparel brand in the entire world. This is based on two metrics: want, and sales.

Furthermore, Sp5der is receiving a considerable amount of praise this year as it is growing at an extraordinary rate. According to Alias’ report, the brand is seeing a 918 percent increase in sales, year over year. Needless to say, it is good time to be getting into Sp5der.

What Is Barbiecore?

First off, you may be asking yourself, what even is Barbiecore? Well, what do you think of when you picture a Barbie doll? Pink probably immediately comes to mind. By making a few simple deductions, you would come to the conclusion that Barbiecore is all about pushing an unrelenting bright pink aesthetic. Hot pink is especially popular within this style, and throughout 2022, consumers couldn’t get enough of this look.

If you need an example of what this aesthetic looks like, look no further than this pink hoodie from Sp5der. The piece features some loud graphics on the front, while the base of the hoodie has a hot pink hue. Overall, it is a cool piece that is available in numerous sizes.

Y2K Apparel

The term Y2K is typically associated with that bizarre time period in which we thought the new millennium would kill us all. Of course, nuclear annihilation never happened, however, the fashion trends were quite unique. The 2000s brought forth this desire to jump into the future, while also maintaining 90s sensibilities. As a result, Y2K apparel is typically loud yet baggy. Moreover, it can also be shiny, which speaks to futuristic sensibilities.

Overall, 2022 has proven to be a huge year for the Y2K look. After all, it has been 20 years since the turn of the century. For those of you out there who want to get in on this trend, these wide-leg jeans from Marni are a great start. They are currently available in a wide variety of sizes.

Utility

The utility trend is one that certainly speaks for itself. We have seen this coming over the years as numerous brands continue to add utilitarian elements to their clothing. One could just look at the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 and 6 to see what we are talking about.

Additionally, another new aesthetic is called gorpcore. Jason Chen of The Cut actually popularized the phrase, which meant to be short for “good ol’ raisins and peanuts.” The point here is that now, hiking gear and “outdoorsmenship” have gone high fashion. Numerous brands are coming through with their own takes on gorpcore, including Supreme and The North Face who came through with a unique Gore-Tex Fleece. Currently, this piece is selling on the secondary market for prices between $1,000 and $1,800.

Vintage Apparel

Speaking of trends that also speak for themself, we finish off this list with some good old vintage. According to Alias, vintage letterman jackets have seen a year-over-year desire increase of 96 percent. Furthermore, vintage tees have increased in sales by 312 percent.

These pieces are characterized by their large graphics, unique color schemes, and references to pop culture. Anything that harkens back to the past can be considered “vintage.” One notable piece of vintage is this BAPE x Mitchell & Ness Yankees jacket from 2018. The blue colorway is gorgeous and will complement any fit nicely.

To celebrate another undeniably successful year, Drake made sure to get himself a gift this holiday season – one unlike anything else currently in his collection. The Canadian is obviously no stranger to embracing the lavish lifestyle, and that clearly shines through on his latest project, designed by jeweller to the stars, Alex Moss.

As Page Six reports, an Instagram Reel went up on Monday (December 12), unveiling the stunning piece. Throughout the clip, the creator specifically explains the precise detail that went into making Drizzy’s order, including hundreds of carats of diamonds (351.38, to be exact).

Throughout his narration, the jeweller explains that the project took him over a year to finish. “[It was] an expedition spanning 14 months, every diamond hand selected, inspected to only suit perfection,” he says.

“This monumental art piece was assembled using 351.38 carats of diamonds mounted in 18k white gold.” Talk about a “Rich Flex.”

The comment section is now full of clever quips from fans. “Alex Moss, can you do sumn for me?” one person wrote, referencing popular Her Loss lyrics.

Others comparatively shared their unique ideas for the chain’s name. “Bro moving DIFFERENT! Should have named this piece ‘HER LOSS,’” someone teased. “So who was the two big stones for?” another comment asks. “You should call this piece ‘UNLUCKY LADIES.’”

It remains unclear which of Drake’s former lovers his diamonds are dedicated to. However, we do know for sure that he’s spent time with Julia Fox, Rihanna, Tyra Banks, and SZA.

Megan Thee Stallion Kicks Off October With A Trip To Halloween Town: Photos

by

Is it Halloween yet?

The first of October is upon us already, which means spooky season lovers have just a few weeks to get their costumes in picture-perfect condition, and from the looks of her latest Instagram photos, Megan Thee Stallion is taking the holiday extra seriously this year.

On Saturday afternoon, the Houston-born rap diva dropped off a photo dump that begins with a snapshot of her casually chilling in her home, adorned in pretty pink pyjamas with a bright cocktail and a book in her hands. On her head, though, MTS sported a sinister-looking orange pumpkin, proving that she’s ready to get her Hottieween on.

Other snapshots see the 27-year-old answering her front door in her creepy costume, and she cleverly set the upload’s location as Halloween Town.

As Billboard notes, this isn’t the first time Thee Stallion pulled a stunt like this. On the same day last year, she donned a pumpkin head as well, this one haired with a long-sleeve crop top, leggings, and plenty of diamond jewelry.

It remains unclear exactly what the “Big Ole Freak” rapper is planning for her official costume this season, but it’s undeniable that it will be hard for her to top 2021’s sexy Hellraiser Pinhead look.

“Pain has a face. Allow me to show you. Gentleman, I am pain #hottieween,” she captioned her celebratory post at the time.

Aside from her upcoming Halloween antics, Thee Stallion has been having plenty of fun with her performance looks recently as well, dressing up like Sailor Moon in Japan, and a sultry milkmaid while in Germany – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

Kendrick Lamar Includes Just One Name In His “Mount Rushmore Of Style”

by

Twitter users often debate about who belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Rap, but when it comes time to hand out the awards to those who belong on the Mount Rushmore of Style, West Coast rapper Kendrick Lamar believes that just one person should be recognized.

On Thursday (September 29), the Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers artist hopped on Twitter to show some love to Grammy Award-winning producer Taz Arnold, who has an undeniably distinct sense of fashion that’s earned him praise from fellow creatives all across the industry.

“The Westside original,” Lamar wrote above four photos of Arnold included in his tweet. “My Mount Rushmore of Style.”

As HipHopDX notes, aside from just admiring his fashion sense, the father of two has also connected with his friend on a musical level. Arnold, who’s a part of the genre-bending L.A. group The Sa-Ra Creative Partners, co-produced three tracks on 2015’s To Pimp a Butterfly – “u,” “Momma,” and “For Sale? (Interlude).”

The “Glorious” artist had high praise for Lamar after working with him in the studio, saying, “He’s ill man. He directs people.”

“He writes his own material to a whole other level. He writes your material. He’s like, ‘Can you say these parts?’ He’s good to work in the studio. I was very impressed with his acumen and his skill set.”

In other news, Kendrick was recently announced as the musical guest on an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more hip-hop news updates.

It’s been a busy year in the baby-making department for several of our favourite recording artists, including Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, NBA YoungBoy and Jazlyn Mychelle, as well as Big Sean and Jhené Aiko.

The R&B songstress is already a mother of one from her past relationship with Omarion’s brother, O’Ryan, but for the better part of the last year, she’s been carrying around her first child with the “Mercy” rapper, who hasn’t been able to stop gushing about how eager he is for fatherhood.

As her due date nears closer and closer, Aiko has shared a “September bump dump” with her 15.1 million Instagram followers, revealing to the world just a few of the amazing outfits she and her bump have been sporting over the past few weeks.

The “Sativa” hitmaker kicked things off with a mirror selfie wearing baggy blue jeans and a white tank top, keeping things casual before she changed into a tight white dress with some glamorous makeup on the second slide.

Afterward, Big Sean made an appearance, holding his girlfriend’s budding belly in his hands while she made duck lips for the camera – the same expression later appeared in more of the uploads.

Aside from the mirror selfies and romantic couple snapshots, Aiko also posed alongside her oldest, 13-year-old Namiko Love Browner, showing how similar the two look thanks to the California native’s clearly strong genes.

Despite being almost ready to pop, Jhené has been booked and busy in recent weeks, performing a “magical” show for audiences at the Greek Theatre while 31 weeks pregnant.

In other news, Aiko’s Trip album was recently certified platinum, five years after its initial release – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
