Luxury stores are still a big target for the criminal underworld. Thieves crashed a car into the Chanel store in Paris for a heist.
As reported by Raw Story one of the brand’s most popular brick and mortar locations got hit last week. In the early hours of Monday, June 10 a team ram-raided a truck into the doors of the Chanel store located at 52 Av. des Champs-Élysées. Once the automobile had caused the structure to weaken the thieves proceed to enter the establishment and helped themselves to the goods on the sales floor. Prior to leaving the scene they set the car on fire and escaped on motorbikes.
Police and firefighters arrived at the scene shortly after and put out the blaze. “The individuals used a first vehicle to enter the establishment, smashing the window, before fleeing in a second vehicle, taking some of the shop’s merchandise with them” a police source said. Another source close the investigation says they believe the crew consisted of four individuals. Back in May a Harry Winston store suffered a similar robbery where a team of thieves stuck the place up with long weapons and left on motorbikes. Police estimate Harry Winston lost anywhere from $6.5 million and $10.8 million in jewelry.
Chanel has yet to formally comment on the matter.

“You know how much switching my hair up matters to me,” Rihanna explained in a social media post announcing Fenty Hair on June 4. “I’ve had almost every texture, color, length, from weaves to braids to natural- so I am launching a flexible line of products for not only every hair want, but every single product is designed to strengthen and repair all types of hair, which is what we truly need! It’s time to play and get stronger by the style.”
Trending on Billboard
To get you ready for the new drop, here’s a short rundown of Fenty Hair and when and where to shop the new collection.
What Is Fenty Hair?
Fenty Hair is a haircare line made for “all hair types.” Rihanna partnered with “the best chemist and best stylist in the industry” to create a product lineup for curly hair, wavy hair of all lengths and styles.
@fentyhair Calling ALL types, textures + needs. #FENTYHAIR was developed & tested on all hair types to repair, strengthen, hydrate, smooth + protect 🫧🫧 Dis is your hair on Fenty!! Get it THREE DAYS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE on 6/10 at 8PM PT. Sign up for easly access via link in bio! ♬ original sound – Fenty Hair
“Everyone can find a go-to within this lineup,” she explains in a promo video. “From my curly hair people to those who love protective styles, to those with short or wavy hair. Short hair or long hair, there’s something for you. There’s no limit to what your hair can do when it’s healthy and thriving.”
Fenty Hair Product Lineup
The full product lineup will be revealed soon, but Fenty Hair has been teasing a few of the products that fans can expect to see, along with a peak at the packaging and what it’ll smell like.
“One of the most important parts of creating this line for me was getting the fragrance right,” Rihanna shares in another promo video. “I love fragrances so much and I wanted Fenty Hair to smell incredible. Like you just can’t stop smelling your hair throughout the day, and when you’re lying next to your boo at night.”
Fenty Hair features notes of amber, lemon, sparkling yuzu, florals and coconut.
“I like to describe the scent as a warm, ambery floral. It has a rich, luxurious vibe to it,” adds Rihanna. “You’re met with the top notes of amber, lemon and sparkling yuzu and then you get down to the heart of the scent notes of lily, freesia and coconut.”
The line features a proprietary complex called Replinicore 5, which according to Rihanna, has been clinically tested to repair, strengthen and hydrate the hair.
Some of the Fenty Hair products that have been spotted so far include The Richer One, a moisture repair deep conditioner and The Home Curl, a curl-defining cream. And based on the promo videos and photos, Fenty Hair will likely feature shampoo and edge control.
Fenty Hair Packaging
Rihanna’s style eye goes beyond fashion; she also has an eye for bottle design. The billionaire beauty maven’s Fenty Hair products feature pastel green, purple, peach, pink and blue bottles of sustainable packaging and textured tops — making it easier to grab the products when your eyes are full of suds, as Rihanna pointed out.
“I’m obsessed with how cute the packaging is,” she admits in a Fenty Hair video. “Our packaging was made with sustainability in mind. My favorite feature? The textured caps, and also [it’s] such a nice little sensory tip when you’re in the shower with shampoo in your eye and you want to grab the next [product].”
When Will Fenty Hair Be Released?
Fenty Hair will be released on Thursday, June 13, but if you want to be first in line to shop the new collection, there’s still time left to sign up for early access. Fans who sign up now can shop the collection starting on Monday, June 10.

Kelsea Ballerini has reached her 10-year milestone as a country artist, but that hasn’t slowed her down. 2024 is proving that her star only continues rising, including performing for the 2024 CMA Fest, preparing to make her coaching debut on The Voice as the competition show’s fifth judge (alongside a returning Adam Levine) and getting ready to release a new album, which she tells Billboard in a new interview, that it’s “close to done” (“I’m still finishing final touches on vocals, but we have half of it in mixing,” she shares).

Below ShopBillboard also chats with Ballerini about what she hopes to teach her teammates on The Voice, her iconic duet with folk-alternative artist Noah Kahan, and her thoughts on more country artists partnering with coffee (and donut!) brands.
First off, congratulations on The Voice! You’ve also celebrated a decade in country music, so what are you hoping to pass on to your teammates? And also, where do you see your music evolving and going next?
I feel like I’m in this really beautiful crossroads of my career where I have a decade of things that I’ve learned and experienced and navigated. But, I still very much feel like I’m in the puberty stage of my career, where I still really have so much that I want to do and so much more music that I want to make, many more stages that I want to play on. Advice that I can give my future team, would just be what I’ve experienced in the last 10 years — and also being really open about the fact that I’m still learning, I’m still growing. There’s still things that I’m wanting to do and I think that’s a really cool space to be in as a coach, to be at that crossroads [where] I [have] experience enough to be able to give advice, but I’m also still experiencing so much and can walk alongside these artists with them.
You recently did a duet with Noah Kahan — what was that like and how did it come about?
I am such a fan of Noah’s and we both got honored at the [Billboard + NMPA Grammy Week Showcase] event before the Grammys, and my goal that night was to meet Noah and we just became buddies. So, when the ACMs were coming up, there was an artistic synergy that made sense between our music. It was really fun to be able to combine the world of Stick Season and Welcome Mat. He’s such an incredible songwriter and musician, but he’s also just a wonderful person. To be able to be buddies now and have that artistic synergy, I definitely think there’s more to come there.
And now you’re with The Original Donut Shop, Jelly Roll just partnered with Dunkin, and Dolly Parton has her collaboration with Krispy Kreme — is there a connection?
Well, everyone loves donuts and coffee. That’s so funny, I didn’t realize that. But I love Jelly, he’s a dear friend so I’m definitely going to start some beef with him about it. No, honestly, it’s been a really perfect synergy of a partnership because I have constantly been trying to find the consistent things in my life, whether I’m home or on the road. Wherever I am, things that can feel the same and so being able to partner with one of my love languages and then also collaborate and do this flavor together, it feels really synergetic and delicious.
