North West Visits NYC With Kim Kardashian, Fans Think 9-Year-Old May Attend Met Gala

At just nine years old, North West has a resume that some adults can only dream of. The young fashionista is certainly afforded with plenty of opportunities thanks to her nepo baby status, but that doesn’t mean the world hasn’t enjoyed watching every one of her creative endeavours. In the past, she’s been on stage with stars like Sia and Katy Perry, as well as her dad, Kanye West, and she’ll even be making her feature film debut alongside her mom in the coming months. Aside from all of that, speculation is now brewing that North will be in attendance at tonight’s (May 1) annual Met Gala.

Earlier this year, reports claimed that none of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters will be walking the red carpet for the 2023 event. Kim shut that down a few days ago with an Instagram post detailing her costume-choosing process. Now, she’s been hanging out in New York City with North. Rather than her famous siblings, the SKIMS founder brought Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, along for the trip to care for his daughter, Penelope. Cameras caught the family members on Saturday (April 29), all wearing beautiful Chanel outfits while adventuring through the Big Apple.

North West Visits the Big Apple with Her Family

It remains unclear if we’ll be seeing the Kardashian cousins along with hundreds of other famous faces at Anna Wintour’s function this evening, though they’re obviously still getting in on the Karl Lagerfeld couture fun. Penelope’s mom only attended for the first time in 2022, though Kim has been a staple since first attending with Ye in the early days of their relationship. It remains unclear which fashion house she’ll be wearing later tonight, though the double C’s on her weekend outfit may be an indication of what’s to come.

Others who have already confirmed their attendance include Rihanna, who took over NYC in a fuzzy Chanel outfit on Saturday, as well as Ice Spice, who’s being dressed by Balmain for her big debut. Who are you hoping to see at this evening’s Met Gala? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

Saweetie Is “Ready To Play” In Sultry New Leather-Clad IG Photo Dump

If Saweetie has heard the haters poking fun at her FIBA World Cup performance online, she certainly isn’t letting them get her down. Last week, the Icy Girl took to the stage at the international basketball event in the Philippines, performing a majorette-inspired version of her hit single, “Tap In.” In a video posted to her Instagram page, she revealed what the choreography looked like in rehearsal, comparing that to how things went on stage. While she undeniably gave it her best, some internet trolls pointed out that her skin-tight costume appeared to be causing some problems.

As the unwarranted opinions about her outfit and body continued to pour in, the California native pulled on another curve-hugging fashion statement before heading out for a fun night with friends in Manila. “Ready to play 😈,” she wrote in her caption, kicking off the carousel with a snapshot of the rap diva checking out her glamorous appearance in the mirror. For her FIBA show, Saweetie had long, brown hair flowing down her body, though she later changed that up in favour of a mint green wig styled with bangs and adorable buns on either side of her head.

Saweetie Shows Off Her Curves in Manila

In the subsequent selections, we see the Grammy-nominated lyricist showing off her bodacious behind in a black leather mini-skirt, notably looking back at the camera from above. While cruising down the city’s streets, Saweetie sticks her body out the window, flaunts her perfectly toned stomach, and sips on a drink while laying on top of a luxury car. She’s known to have fun everywhere that she goes, but it looks as though her time in Manila so far has really been one for the books.

It remains unclear how long the 29-year-old will be spending overseas, though she’ll certainly want to get home quickly to reunite with her rumoured new boo. During Coachella weekend one, she and YG sparked some serious dating rumours, as well as gossip that he gives her a monthly allowance to support her shopping habit. Check out Saweetie’s most recent Instagram upload below, and tap into her FIBA World Cup performance that’s dividing the internet here.

Kendall Jenner & Bad Bunny Have Fashionable Date Night In New York City

Rihanna wasn’t the only celebrity lighting up New York City on Saturday (April 29) night with her bold fashion choices. The expecting mother is rivalled by Kendall Jenner. She stepped out yesterday in a dark brown, sheer crop top and a seriously tiny mini skirt paired with matching knee-high boots. Of course, the model wasn’t alone. Her rumoured beau Bad Bunny was in tow, along with a slew of other friends and security guards.

Paparazzi cameras caught Jenner and the Puerto Rican rapper leaving Carbone yesterday evening. While Bunny and his apparent new lover didn’t show any PDA in front of the flashing lights, they have been becoming increasingly loving with each other as they spend more time together. As DailyMail reports, they headed to a bar in Manhattan called Pergola after their meal. It remains unclear what they got up to after that, if anything, though they could’ve been preparing for tomorrow’s Met Gala.

Kendall Jenner Stuns in a Sheer Top and Mini Skirt

One of the reality starlet’s most recent outings with BB took place on the west coast. At the time, Jenner proudly showed the lyricist her love for horses. Both of them rode separately and together during a visit to a local stable. Prior to that, we saw them not-so-sneakily leave the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party together, and share a few smooches while outsiders watched on.

The 27-year-old isn’t the only one of her siblings to be caught up in a headline-making romance as of late. Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are said to be casually dating, and Kim Kardashian recently expressed her interest in putting herself back out there again. Aside from that, Kourtney is happily married to Blink-182 rocker Travis Barker, and Khloé is still desperately trying to make things. work with Tristan third-trimester Thompson. Keep scrolling for more photos and videos of Kendall Jenner’s latest night out in NYC with Bad Bunny. For more pop culture and hip-hop news updates, tap back in with HNHH later.

Rihanna Serves Serious Mother Goose Vibes Wearing Vintage Chanel In New York Ahead Of The Met Gala

The final weekend of April is upon us which means that tomorrow (May 1), marks not only the start of a new month but also the annual Met Gala. This year’s event is honouring the late Karl Lagerfeld, who spent decades at the helm of brands like Chanel, Fendi, and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as his own label. For months now there’s been speculation about which celebrities will be included on the prestigious guest list. It was previously reported that the Kardashian-Jenners wouldn’t be in attendance after almost the entire family walked the carpet last year, however, Kim has since hinted that she’ll be in New York. Others who may show up include Beyoncé, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Rihanna.

The Barbadian-born songstress all but confirmed that she’ll be at the Met Gala on Saturday (April 29) night. Paparazzi cameras caught her back in the Big Apple after her long trip to Paris with A$AP Rocky and their son. She stepped out sans her family to grab dinner in New York with friends, wearing a vintage Chanel outfit designed by Lagerfeld for the French fashion house’s F/W 1994 collection. Rihanna’s fur-clad white mini dress is serving serious mother goose vibes. Ever the expert accessorizer, she topped things off with a matching black and white hat, sparkly heels, and double C sunglasses to make it clear who was responsible for designing her look.

Rihanna Dons Vintage Chanel for Dinner

The Chanel style has been earning Rihanna plenty of praise all across social media so far. However, as TMZ notes, PETA may take issue with it if the fur is real. Just a few weeks ago, the activist organization sent a letter to the 35-year-old regarding a coat she wore which was made from animals. At the time, they asked her to consider exchanging her garment for a faux one, giving the authentic one instead to those suffering in war-torn countries after losing their own clothing. It remains unclear how, or if, Rih responded, though she’s never been one to shy away from pushing fashion boundaries.

Should the ANTI hitmaker appear tomorrow, it will surely be just another success in her long-running streak of stunning the world with her maternity style. Are you excited to potentially see Rihanna at tomorrow’s Met Gala? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more pop culture and hip-hop news updates.

Damson Idris Proves He’s The Ultimate Instagram Boyfriend For Lori Harvey

At first, there was some doubt about the chemistry in Lori Harvey’s new relationship, but she and Damson Idris are quickly becoming one of the internet’s favourite couples. The model spent several months alone after her split from Michael B. Jordan but has happily claimed the Snowfall star as her man since late 2022. They’ve previously made their red carpet debut during the latest season premiere of the English actor’s FX series. More recently, they enjoyed plenty of fun in the sun on a tropical baecation together, which Harvey documented on Instagram earlier this month.

Elsewhere on her social media page, the Memphis-born beauty shared more photos from her dinner date with Idris, which appears to have taken place at Nobu. On Saturday (April 29), Harvey’s feed lit up with a carousel post containing snapshots of both her tasty food, and some heartwarming outfit pictures captured by her man. “When he want you to know he still in the picture 🤣🥢🍣,” she wrote in her caption. In the very first image, we’re immediately drawn to Lori’s cool look for the day, but to her right, Damson’s shadow is abundantly obvious as he captures her best angles.

Lori Harvey Puts Her Man to Work

For their dinner date, Harvey wore light-wash, straight-leg jeans with a hole in one knee. She kept it casual with a cropped white tee worn under an amazing black and white leather jacket and oversized shades. For a pop of colour, she carried her must-haves in a light blue clutch, creating serious contrast with her stark, pointy white heels. Idris’ outfit of the day didn’t make the photo dump cut, though his shadow certainly looked great in its many appearances.

“Robert Frank baby,” the 31-year-old dropped by the comments to write. His message was followed by others praising the beauty guru for how happy and authentic she seems in love this time around. “He’s a GOOD MAN Savannah,” one user joked. Another chimed in with, “I think she is in love with this one. It’s different. It seems more organic. It’s awesome to watch.” Do you think Lori Harvey and Damson Idris’ relationship will last through Hot Girl Summer?

Keke Palmer’s Son, Leodis, Makes First Red Carpet Appearance With Mom & Dad

It was just a few months ago that Keke Palmer bravely welcomed her first child, Leodis Andrelton Jackson, into the world. Already, however, the young boy is making is red carpet debut alongside his famous mother and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson. The couple stepped out for the closing night screening of her upcoming Big Boss visual album during the 2023 Atlanta Film Festival, both Leo and his father rocking all-black outfits for their first major public appearance together.

While the boys kept it casual with their looks, Palmer was as extra as ever in a cheetah-print jumpsuit that perfectly hugs her “new body.” As you may recall, the Jump In! starlet previously boasted on Instagram about how the months following pregnancy have seen major changes in her body. Specifically, she’s happy to see natural enhancements in her chest, hips, and booty area, which Palmer admits she lacked confidence in in the past.

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson Step Out with Little Leo

While motherhood is obviously the main thing on her agenda at this time, fans are happy to see the Chicago native continuing her streak of keeping busy. Earlier this month, she gave the world a taste of her often-forgotten about music talents. It came in the form of a new single, “Waiting,” which will appear on May’s Big Boss. The project was written and directed by Palmer herself, and will be exclusively available on KeyTV, YouTube, and Facebook on Saturday, the 13th.

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson have also taken their little one to a Halos baseball game recently. Following that, she was honoured with a Vanguard Award from the Los Angeles LGBT Centre for her contributions to the queer community. It’s been a huge year for the Disney Channel alum already, and we can’t wait to see what she has planned for the future.

Jaden Smith & Jada Pinkett Step Out In South Korea For Louis Vuitton’s Pre-Fall Runway: Photos

Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk gave her the opportunity to interview dozens of close friends and fellow celebrities since its 2018 inception. Among them were Gabrielle Union, Kid Cudi, and Jordyn Woods, just to name a few. Despite its popularity and success, it was announced earlier this week that the Facebook Watch series has been cancelled, along with all others produced by the platform. The news is certainly sad, but the mother of two isn’t letting it dampen her mood too much.

As DailyMail reports, she and her son Jaden Smith are presently in South Korea, where the Pursuit of Happyness actor has been doing plenty of shopping at Louis Vuitton. The fashion brand is actually what brought them overseas, as they stepped out for the Pre-Fall runway on Friday (April 28) in their best dressed. Elsewhere in Seoul, Jaden looks to be exploring the city’s hidden gems in his crisp white New Balances.

Jaden Smith’s South Korea Photo Dump

The Louis Vuitton event took place yesterday at the Jamsugyo Bridge near the Hangang River. Both Jada and her eldest were appropriately dressed for the damp spring weather. The 51-year-old layered a black leather trench coat over a sweater and trim pants in the same colour. She completed the look with monogrammed combat boots, as well as a large bag in a deep brown colour. As for Jaden, he opted for a boxier cut, pairing oversized trousers with a large blazer. He selected platform loafers to wear on his feet and tucked a flashy silver necklace under his coat.

She certainly looked amazing at the fashion show, but that hasn’t stopped curious fans from asking the actress if Red Table Talk will be finding a new home in the future. The answer remains unknown at this time, but we’ll surely fill you in with any updates later. Take a look at Jada Pinkett and Jaden Smith’s designer duds for Louis Vuitton’s latest runway show below, and share your thoughts in the comments.

Halle Bailey & DDG Are All Smiles In Sweet New Couple Photo

Just a few months ago, it looked as though Halle Bailey and DDG might be calling it quits. Around Valentine’s Day, rumours began brewing about trouble in paradise, which were only made worse by the YouTuber’s ex, Rubi Rose, sharing alleged receipts of their interesting DMs. He went on to write a song about the situation, called “Way Too Petty,” before also addressing all of the gossip in a video on his channel. “Y’all know me deep down, and y’all know I’m a good n*gga. I always been positive, ain’t that right?” DDG reminded his fans.

Regardless of how messily things played out on social media, he and Bailey appear to have worked through their problems. They attended Gucci’s runway presentation during Milan Fashion Week at the end of February, and have since made several appearances on each other’s social media profiles. On Friday (April 28), an image of the young lovers smiling together in a luscious green park began circulating online, proving that they look happier than ever after a few weeks of turmoil.

Halle Bailey and Her Man

While DDG kept it casual in a white tee and black pants, The Little Mermaid actress brought in some sunshine with her outfit, donning a bright yellow three-piece set. She looks undeniably adorable, though the angle the snapshot was taken at has some internet sleuths speculating about pregnancy. “I’m not gonna say it or even ask,” one of the most-liked comments on the post reads, proving that many are seeing the same thing. “Everyone saying pregnant lmao. Maybe she bloated, damn 😂😂😂,” someone else wrote.

It seems highly unlikely that the 23-year-old is with child, though we’ll wait for her to confirm or deny the speculation herself. Interestingly, her beau trolled the world on April Fools Day with a pregnancy announcement, initially shocking some into believing that he and the Atlanta native are actually starting a family together. If the rumours are untrue now, perhaps it’s in the cards for them in the future. Do you think DDG and Halle Bailey are endgame?

Kanye West Holds Auditions For New Yeezy Fashion Show, Seeking Bald Models

Kanye West hit up downtown Los Angeles on Thursday (April 27) to host auditions for models for his upcoming fashion show, Yeezy SZN 10. However, according to a TMZ report, this particular audition had a bit of a theme to it. Moreover, it seems like Ye sought out bald models in particular, and hopeful participants with shaved heads wore all black when they arrived. Furthermore, they lined up as early as 7 a.m., and some waited until 3 p.m. to receive an audience. Presumably, disheveled pictures of the rapper that surfaced on Friday (April 28) was likely taken from these sessions.

The reason for that is because Kanye apparently wore a shirt gifted to him by a disabled person who went to the audition. In more disheveled pictures, the person who presumably gifted him the shirt appears alongside him. Still, all these pieces of information add up to an unclear, albeit inclusive, vision for the next Yeezy show. Given all of the Chicago native’s public controversies and low profile, many wonder how it will even take shape and be disseminated in pop culture.

Kanye West Gearing Up For Yeezy SZN 10

Of course, it’s not like that turbulent path of backlash strayed Kanye West away from the fashion world. In fact, he recently popped out at the Fear Of God runway show along with his new wife Bianca Censori, and even jammed out to his music. It was actually quite an odd clip, capturing Kanye vibing out to his KIDS SEE GHOSTS track “Feel The Love.” That cut features Pusha T and project-length collaborator Kid Cudi, two names that the 45-year-old isn’t on the best terms with at the moment.

Meanwhile, fans can only wonder what kind of event, product, or statement the “Street Lights” artist will bring us next. Considering everything going on around him, going to Yeezy SZN 10 would be an act of morbid curiosity, hope, and partial nervousness. Also, Kim Kardashian recently blasted him for his “insane narrative” surrounding their divorce. While he once sought to expand his profile with every move, now it seems he must reclaim it with accountability. For when that day comes, return to HNHH for the latest on Kanye West.
