Tracee Ellis Ross often creates moments but this coat? But this Fear Of God coat? A MOMENT. Yes she was sweltering but more important, she was serving. An outfit fit for the first annual Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala, where she was honoured with the Trailblazer Award for Pattern Beauty. 

 

Have you seen the Pattern Beauty blow dryer? Probably the chicest beauty tool out there.

 

Rhode has hired a new CEO, Nick Vlahos (formerly of The Honest Company). There’s been a behind-the-scenes shuffle and I don’t think this is because of trouble. Quite the opposite: I think the brand is looking to grow quickly and possibly set itself up for an IPO. 

So I don’t think The Rock has any presidential aspirations for the next US election. He’d already be teasing or in the race. At the very least, he wouldn’t be wrestling again. And while this is a clear protection of his investment in the WWE, his brand and his new role, the reaction videos are pretty funny. 

 

Miley Cyrus didn’t mention Billy Ray Cyrus in her speech and he hasn’t acknowledged her Grammy win, so there’s a bit of tit-for-tat happening there it seems.  

 

Only Lenny Kravitz can mix Rick Owens, Margiela, Chrome Hearts, Dior, Jaeger-LeCoultre and YSL. The sleeves and the top are from two different designers!!!! He’s serving c-nt and I love it.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is on a bit of an unofficial pause which is a shame because at one time, it was the strongest franchise. Definitely the franchise with the funniest and most business-savvy women. Kandi Buress has been a consistent face of the franchise and someone who didn’t need to be on TV (she is a celebrated songwriter as well as a multi-hyphen producer – she was nominated for a Tony recently!). She’s also stated that she is unhappy Bravo has put the franchise on ice so she walked. One of the very, very few to do so on her own terms. As much as they like to say it, 99% of Housewives are fired, even when they release statements saying otherwise. Bethenny Frankel, Dina Manzo, NeNe Leakes, Lisa Vanderump and now Kandi are the few who actually quit.

 

I know we are getting wall-to-wall Taylor Swift but I only want to comment on one small thing: she wore The Row on her new album cover. This is an interesting choice because this brand doesn’t chase celebrities. In fact, celebrities chase it. And I’ve heard they do not gift excessively like other brands too because they only make enough to sell and it’s not unusual for them to have loyal customers who buy an entire season. Most other fashion houses would be fist pumping hard today. But The Row? Not a peep.

 

A first look as Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley. We just talked about The Talented Mr. Ripley but there’s been several adaptations of this story: Tom Ripley was a catfish of social class.
