Lil Nas X & Ice Spice Sit Front Row Together At Coach Fall-Winter Showcase

by

New York Fashion Week is here, and the shows have been nothing short of amazing. The celebrities are showing up and eating up in looks good enough to walk the runway. Hip-hop newcomer and TikTok icon Ice Spice attended her first fashion week shows at Dion Lee on Friday, and at Coach yesterday. She was spotted sitting front row with none other than Lil Nas X, who is an ambassador for the brand. Lil Nas X has previously walked for Coach in their Spring/Summer 2023 show.

The Autumn/Winter 2023 collection paid homage to New York house parties and the nostalgic 90s grunge era. Ice Spice was seen wearing a varsity-inspired emerald green dress with platform red heels. To accessorize, she wore a mini red Coach clutch to match. She also wore her signature custom $100,000 chain made by Benny Da Jeweler. The chain features an animated version of the Bronx rapper’s face, complete with a curly afro covered in diamonds.

Ice Spice and Lil Nas X Sitting Together

Lil Nas X wore a cropped red shearling coat from the brand to match his fuzzy red Coach Tabby bag. He also sported red shoes, and denim flared jeans that featured a complimentary red fur cutout at the ankles. The show was outstanding, to say the least. It was only right for the New York-based brand to bring out some New York natives and fashion icons in the making to sit front row. Social media has gone crazy with the duo. Lil Nas X went straight to his Instagram feed- proving that they were totally meant to become fashion besties.

Additionally, several other celebrities made an appearance at the Coach show. Zoey Deutch, another ambassador for the Coach brand, and Camila Mendes and her boyfriend and influencer Rudy Mancuso sat in the front row with Ice Spice and Lil Nas X. According to Women’s Wear Daily, when asked about her favorite part of the show Ice Spice said it was the bags, specifically “the little banana bags and the little fish bag, that was so cute.” We cannot wait to see what other shows Lil Nas X and Ice Spice attend together. Although he is not a stranger to fashion week, we would still love to see him walk the runway again. As for Ice Spice, her new EP “Like…?” has granted her access to superstar-status activities such as attending fashion shows. There is no doubt that she will pop up in more shows, wearing more stylish looks throughout the duration of fashion month.

Rihanna’s Look At The Super Bowl Halftime Show Explained

by

Rihanna ascended from the Super Bowl LVII stage on an illuminated floating platform. She wore a monochromatic red look that had us all in awe. She began to perform twelve of her most iconic songs including “Umbrella” and “Run This Town.” The music and overall performance were one for the books and we cannot help but give another 10 out of 10 rating to the look she wore on Sunday night.

As many of us already know, Rihanna is not a stranger to pulling off stylish and iconic looks. In November 2021, we saw Rihanna out and about in New York wearing flared jeans and a plain black top. She paired the look with a Kermit green waistcoat by Marina Moscone and contrasting neon green Savage x Fenty gloves. In 2019, the singer won an award at the CFDA fashion awards in a refreshing minty Fenty getup.

The Look

Even though the Super Bowl was only two days ago, Rihanna’s outfit is already making strides everywhere on social media. It ran right at the top of her best looks. There are many layers that completed the outfit. The base included a vibrant red silk jersey catsuit paired with a Loewe flight suit overtop in the same crimson hue. To cinch in the bust area while shaping the noticeable baby bump, a short sculpted leather Loewe corset was also paired. The streetwear aesthetic to which Rihanna is accustomed the look was complete with red MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon sneakers. Rihanna and her styling team did not stop there. Closing out the performance, the singer added a dramatically brilliant red custom Alaïa coat with matching gloves.

The garment was a tribute to the late André Leon Talley, a pivotal fashion journalist who wore a similar Norma Kamali coat. Rihanna and André were close friends, so the coat was a nod to their relationship. Where accessories are concerned, the singer did not disappoint. Rihanna wore a handful of statement diamond brooches from Joseph Saidian & Sons pinned to the flight suit. She also wore Messika Jewelry diamond earrings. If you watched the performance, you probably noticed the self-promo moment Rihanna took. She touched up her beauty look with none other than her own Fenty beauty line. Her claws were also dripped in bold red to bring it all home. While many might not have been completely satisfied with her entire performance, I think it can be agreed that her look for the night gave us everything we needed and more.

Cardi B’s Curves Looked Phenomenal In All Her Super Bowl Weekend Fits

by

Rapping is obviously what she does for a living, but as she’s risen to the top of the industry, Cardi B has also made a name for herself as a fashionista. Over the years we’ve seen the mother of two sitting front row at various fashion week events around the world. Additionally, she’s stepped out in dramatic designer style for the Met Gala on more than one occasion.

In theory, the focus of Super Bowl weekend should be football. Instead, many of those who flew to Glendale, Arizona to watch the game were actually there to take in Rihanna’s triumphant return to the stage. Adele and H.E.R. both spoke candidly about their excitement for the singer’s Halftime show. Elsewhere, social media hasn’t been able to stop raving about it since.

Cardi B was undeniably eager to see the Bad Gal do her thing. As it turns out, she nearly missed the concert. In a video posted to her Instagram Story, the “Hot Shit” hitmaker awkwardly runs through a parking lot wearing sky-high heels. As she desperately tries to not miss out on the main event, her husband, Offset, slowly jogged beside her. Due to their hilarious antics, the couple was heavily clowned on social media.

As the trolls continue to poke fun, the New Yorker remains unbothered. On Monday (February 13) she dropped off a photo dump of her Super Bowl outfit. Of course, she flaunts the platform shoes that famously slowed her down. “Excuse me… Can I sit on top of you?” she wrote in the caption of her post, earning her over two million double taps.

Besides her bright pink heels, Cardi also donned a pair of tight, dark blue jeans and a navy Chanel sweater. She carried her essentials in a quilted pink bag to match her shoes. Things were tied together with a sleek pair of sunglasses shading her eyes. Instead of her usual long black hair, the Hustlers actress switched things up with a blonde curly ‘do.

Later on in the post, the 30-year-old showed off another of her Super Bowl outfits. This one also saw her looking pretty in pink, sporting a curve-hugging Chanel mini-dress. Accessories include a small purse in the same colour and a silver sparkly Vivienne Westwood dogbone necklace. Additionally, her dark hair made a return for the iconic fashion moment. She certainly didn’t hesitate to flaunt her endless inches while strutting down the hotel hallway.

Elsewhere in Arizona, Cardi B performed at the same venue as Drake on Friday night. When Saturday rolled around, she recruited Offset to join her as they prepared the audience for Sunday’s events. Check out photos from the couple’s concert below, let us know which of the rap starlet’s favourite looks was in the comments.

Pharrell Williams Set To Become Louis Vuitton’s Head Designer

by

Pharrell Williams is someone who is incredibly respected when it comes to the various domains he operates in. Although he mostly became known for his music production, there is no doubt that he is also known for his fashion. Whether it be BAPE or Adidas, Pharrell has brought his design philosophies wherever he goes. Overall, fans love him for this, and in many ways, he is an icon in all respects. He can pretty well do it all, and that is the mark of a great artist.

When it comes to the fashion world, Williams has shown a keenness to give that world his all. However, it has been very difficult for black creators to break through in the fashion industry. This is something that Kanye West has lamented in the past, and for the most part, it has rung true. Although, just a few years ago, Virgil Abloh was able to break through as the first black head designer for Louis Vuitton. Unfortunately, Abloh passed away back in 2021 after a battle with cancer.

Pharrell Williams To Replace Virgil

Now, however, it is being reported by the Wall Street Journal that Pharrell is set to become Virgil’s replacement. This would be a monumental hire for the brand as it would make Pharrell their head of menswear. It remains to be seen how Pharrell Williams would perform in that role. Although he does have a great track record. His tastes when it comes to clothes are unique, and we’re sure he will bring that philosophy to LV.

At the time of writing this, Pharrell has not been confirmed as the head of menswear. However, the talks are ongoing. Overall, this would be huge for the brand, and we’re sure Pharrell is eager to carry forth the legacy of his good friend Virgil. Let us know what you think of this impending decision, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the streetwear world.

Balenciaga Artistic Director Speaks Out On Child Ad Controversy

by

In November of last year, Balenciaga found itself under fire after not one, but two offensive ad campaigns. First, it was the Gift Shop campaign that featured photos of children with inappropriate paraphernalia. Using toddlers as models, this series of advertisements captured images of the children holding bears seemingly dressed with BDSM gear. The background took place in a home setting and was scattered with a variety of items, including inappropriate props like wine glasses.

But, this poorly thought-through campaign wasn’t the only tasteless mistake made by Balenciaga. Only 5 days after the Gift Shop photos were released, Balenciaga also dropped their 2023 Garde-Robe ads. For this campaign, the brand opted for models Nicole Kidman and Bella Hadid. However, they still stirred up trouble. A photo of a Balenciaga x Adidas handbag sitting on a desk turned sour as soon as social media viewers recognized the paperwork that was sitting underneath. One was a copy of the 2008 Supreme Court ruling on US v. Williams, which banned the promotion of child pornography. In addition, the brand placed a book by Michaël Borremans on the desk. Borremans’ work is known to depict seemingly playful scenes of toddlers with a dark and violent twist.

Balenciaga Apologizes for “Unsettling” Mistakes

Evidently, both of these Balenciaga campaigns overtly shed light on a disturbing subject. While the fashion house has been known to spark debates over design choices (such as their crocs with heels), the undertones of these two advertisement concepts didn’t sit well with the internet. The brand eventually removed all images from the campaigns and released public apologies for the controversy.

In a recent interview with Vogue, Balenciaga’s artistic director Demna Gvasalia explained these “unintentional” mistakes. “Despite what many people may have suspected … never, ever would I have an idea to mess around with such an awful and horrible thing,” Demna says. His influence on the initial Gift Shop campaign was intended to be an homage to the “punk and DIY” cultures. As for the following handbag photo, Demna insists that all paperwork was supposed to be fake, and was received from a prop box. In an attempt to make up for their negligence, Balenciaga is actively working with the Kering Foundation and National Children’s Alliance.

Diddy Wishes His “Shawty Wop” Yung Miami A Happy Birthday While She Poses In A Bikini On The Beach

by

On February 11th, Yung Miami celebrated her 29th trip around the Sun. The “Twerkulator” artist is an expert at turning up. We’ve previously seen this throughout her career, and this year, her birthday celebrations have been non-stop. After partying with her friends, it now looks as though the mother of two is in baecation mode, soaking up the sun in the tropics with a certain friend.

Over the weekend, the City Girl shared an Instagram photo dump that finds her posing alongside a private jet in an emerald green two-piece set. After a few more fit pics, fans see a preview of the aircraft’s inside. It’s glamorously decorated with roses, balloons, a cake, and various other sweets. Miami also let the world know whose plane it is that she’s taking – in case they weren’t already aware – by flexing the Combs Air mat sitting beneath the plane’s stairs.

Caresha’s caption was nothing more than a row of birthday cake emojis. Still, in the comment section, her friends have had plenty to say. “Caresha! You love that man. You ain’t let us come and you got braids!” her partner in rhyme, JT, wrote. Elsewhere, Saweetie, Savannah James, Princess Love, Cuban Link, and more wished the rap diva a happy birthday.

It wouldn’t be a baecation without plenty of photos, and Miami has absolutely been delivering. The day after flaunting Diddy’s private jet and the goods he spoils her with on the ‘gram, she returned with some beautiful beach pictures and videos that see her sitting in the sand by the crystal blue water. Clearly in full party mode, the podcast host carries a mimosa in her hand as she casually strolls into the tropical ocean.

In the comment section of that post, the multi-talent made sure to send his “Shawty Wop” birthday greetings. Additionally, JT had more love to show her collaborator. India Royale and Trina were sure to shower the Florida native with plenty of attention too.

Miami is obviously going all out for her birthday celebrations this year. Prior to her baecation with Combs, she threw a star-studded party earlier this month. Chrisean Rock was notably in attendance, as were various other well-known figures from the music industry.

Aside from the impressive guest list, fans also can’t stop talking about the massive diamond ring on her finger. Of course, she’s made it well known that she’s single, but clearly still loves to be spoiled on Diddy’s dime. Check out Caresha’s flashy new jewelry here, and tune in later for more pop culture news updates.

Paraison Fontaine Rocks MSCHF Big Red Boots Amid Megan Thee Stallion Breakup Rumors

by

Pardison Fontaine is the latest celebrity to rock MSCHF’s viral and controversial Big Red Boots. Moreover, the rapper and ghostwriter posted many pictures and short videos on his Instagram page with the footwear. For the caption, he wrote “Damn ..looks like I got da boot,” adding a laughing emoji at the end. Also, he tagged MSCHF and Entire Studios in his post, so perhaps it’s part of a larger partnership. However, most people online think it might refer to the closure of another partnership.

Furthermore, Megan Thee Stallion sparked breakup rumors last week when she unfollowed Pardi on Instagram. Not much emerged since then, but maybe that’s the “boot” the New York native referred to. After all, the first pictures he posted with the boots show him on the phone, sitting on a flight of stairs. Many think it looks oddly similar to someone ejected from a room, home, or relationship. Still, it might all be fun and games, and there’s likely a lot happening behind the scenes that we’ll never know about. However, maybe that’s exactly the rumor that he’s playing with, and might just be trolling fans.

Pardison Fontaine & Meg’s Case

Despite these rumors, the 33-year-old will likely continue to support the Stallion. Moreover, he posted an Instagram message to women who, much like Megan, faced ridicule for their truth. “To any woman especially ones of color that has suffered an injustice I feel for you. When you do find the courage to speak up.. it seems you will be ridiculed. Your credibility will [be] questioned.. your entire past will be held under a magnifying glass. In an instant you can go from victim to defendant in the eyes of the public.”

“To any one with a daughter sister mother niece or aunt,” he added. “I pray for their protection, I pray for their covering, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.” Meanwhile, Meg spoke of the effects her ordeal with Tory Lanez affected their relationship while on the stand. “I feel disgusted, I feel dirty, my own partner is embarrassed,” she admitted. “I can’t even be happy, I don’t want to talk to friends or family.” Check back in with HNHH for the latest on Pardison Fontaine and Megan Thee Stallion.

Cardi B & Offset Run To Catch Rihanna’s Super Bowl Show, Perform Together In Arizona

by

If anyone had a wild Super Bowl weekend, it was obviously Cardi B. The New Yorker began her trip to Arizona by performing on Friday (February 10) evening at the same venue as Drake. The Canadian markedly kept the crowd’s energy high with a recreation of the show he put on at the Apollo Theatre. For her part, Bardi opted to give her audience some of her discography’s greatest hits.

By Saturday (February 11), the excitement for the NFL Championship game was undoubtedly running rampant. More and more celebrities and football lovers continued to pour into the city. Some of them even saw the mother of two performing alongside her husband, Offset. According to Daily Mail, they put on an impressive show at Wild Horse Pass Resort and Casino’s Hall Of Fame Party.

As per usual, the “Lick” collaborators were dressed to the nines. Cardi’s curvy figure looked immaculate in a shiny metallic dress. Her long jet-black hair was beautifully flowing behind her while she performed. The Migos rapper sported a black fit for the event, also layering plenty of flashy silver chains across his chest to flaunt his wealth.

They may have been on the clock during their set, but that didn’t stop the Hustlers actress and Offset from sharing some PDA. At one point, cameras caught them sharing a sweet smooch, though that’s nothing compared to other affectionate antics. While they were talking the pre-Grammys red carpet earlier this month, Cardi and her man made out as paparazzi cameras flashed away.

She was obviously in her bag for most of Super Bowl weekend, but when game day came, the former stripper had her mind on one thing – Rihanna. In a video that’s circulating online, the 30-year-old does her best to sprint through a parking lot in a pair of bright pink heels. The reason for her panicked run? Ensuring that she didn’t miss the Bad Gal’s performance, of course.

The clip was originally uploaded to Cardi’s Instagram Story. It also sees Offset shuffling alongside her while she struggles to keep up. “Trying to make it [to] the halftime show,” she wrote over the comical upload. In the hours since Twitter users have been cracking endless jokes about the couple’s relatable behaviour.

“My God, Cardi looks tf good!!!! But this is just so hilarious… Cardi and Offset was NOT missing the Rihanna concert,” one person joked. “Damn Offset just pick her up. You slowly jogging like you wearing the shoes too,” another troll critiqued the father of five. Scroll further for more reactions, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Rihanna’s Baby Bump Is On Full Display In New Up-Close Photo From Super Bowl

by

When the world found out that Rihanna was selected as the Halftime show performer for the 2023 Super Bowl, excitement immediately began to fly. Seeing as she’s had nine months to recover from the birth of her first baby, and delivered two beautiful new songs on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, many thought an album announcement would be tied into her concert. What we obviously didn’t expect from the 34-year-old was the revelation of another pregnancy.

Shortly after the Bad Gal sang some of her greatest hits like “All of the Lights,” “Rude Boy,” and “Diamonds,” the internet began speculating that she’s with child again. Past headliners have performed undeniably intense choreography during their set. Rih, on the other hand, kept hers to a minimum. Viewers couldn’t help but notice the love she continuously showed to her budding belly.

After the Halftime show wrapped, a rep for the Barbadian singer confirmed to various outlets that she’s pregnant. This marks the second child for her and boyfriend A$AP Rocky. At the end of December, they shared the little one’s face on TikTok, though we still haven’t learned his name.

During her first pregnancy, Rihanna took plenty of bold style risks, putting her curvaceous figure on full display. She was obviously confident in showing off her body while expecting. Still, many details about her family life, including the baby’s gender, were kept under wraps until his birth last May. It remains unclear if she’ll take a different approach this time around. Thankfully, we’re already starting to see adorable maternity photos circulating online.

The Fenty designer’s manicurist for her Super Bowl show, Kimmie Kyees, shared a Reel on her Instagram late on Sunday (February 12) night. The clip begins with a revelation of the products she used on the “Lift Me Up” vocalist’s hands. Afterward, we see Rih singing and a close-up of her bright red nails cradling her baby bump.

Rihanna obviously isn’t the first iconic performer to take the stage at the Super Bowl. As it turns out, she relied on some of those who came before her while seeking inspiration. Specifically, the expecting mother watched Beyoncé’s 2013 concert that saw her bringing out Destiny’s Child to stun the crowd alongside her on repeat. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
