From the Bronx to the Met! Ice Spice made her debut at the 2023 Met Gala on Monday evening (May 1).
In honor of this year’s theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” the “Munch” MC (real name Isis Gaston) stunned the A-list audience in a simple yet elegant, body-hugging white sequined Balmain gown. And she traded her signature orange curls for a super-sleek, straightened look. TMZ reported earlier that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who runs the Met Gala, personally invited the “In Ha Mood” rapper after she partnered with Vogue and eBay on an iconic designer’s collection, which was announced during the Met Gala’s livestreamed red carpet.
“I’m just so grateful, I’m so happy to be here. You know, I was like really nervous approaching the carpet. And once I heard everybody screaming, I felt better,” she told Met Gala red carpet host La La Anthony. While touching on her “super last-minute” Balmain look, Ice also showed off her accessory of the evening, a bedazzled vintage camera, and explained how she was looking forward to all of the photos she would take tonight.

“Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” will showcase more than 150 original looks designed by Lagerfeld, who died at 85 years old in 2019, delving into the former Chanel creative director’s expansive seven-decade career. Many of his original sketches are also set to appear alongside the objects on display.

It’s the first Monday in May, and for fashionistas and music lovers alike, that means one thing: the 2023 Met Gala has finally arrived.
As A-listers, designers, “it” girls and the assembled glitterati of New York City prepare to ascend the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Upper East Side on Monday night (May 1), those of us not invited to the most exclusive event in fashion will be settling in to participate the only other way: tuning in to the red carpet and voraciously refreshing our social feeds in order to judge everyone’s looks like we’re all Miranda Priestley.
Just like the previous two years, the glitzy fashion parade will be live-streamed by Vogue on the fashion bible’s official website with commentary by LaLa Anthony, journalist Derek Blasberg and Chloe Fineman of Saturday Night Live fame, with Emma Chamberlain serving as Vogue‘s special correspondent for the evening. The carpet will also be broadcast on Vogue‘s YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter channels, with coverage kicking off at 6:30 p.m. ET.
The theme of this year’s gala — and subsequent exhibition inside the Anna Wintour Costume Center — is Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, in honor of the late fashion designer who died in February 2019. While the interpretations of some dress codes in recent years have been known to serve up more “huh?” than haute couture, this year’s theme will give stars the perfect excuse to pay tribute to Lagerfeld (who famously turned his nose up at the very idea of nostalgia) in everything from Chanel and Fendi to vintage Balmain, Chloé and his own namesake fashion label.

The iconic Tiffany & Co. has reopened it flagship store in New York on 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, and to celebrate, they threw a party with several notable musicians and celebrities in attendance for the opening-night festivities.
Jimin took a break from promoting his debut solo album FACE and showed up to the Tiffany blue carpet in a black-on-black tuxedo ensemble with stain lapels, a diamond-encrusted flower brooch and leather shoes. Later in the evening, Jimin was joined by Pharrell Williams, who arrived in a multicolored ensemble, leather pants, chunky boots and angular sunglasses. The pair smiled for a photo together — a welcome treat for BTS ARMY who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the K-pop group’s yet-untitled collaboration with Pharrell, which the all-star producer teased in 2022.
Katy Perry, meanwhile, was an attraction at the Tiffany & Co. reopening — she took to the stage in a fitted strapless gown (in Tiffany blue, of course) to perform a series of smashes from her catalog, including her breakthrough hit “I Kissed a Girl,” “Never Really Over” and “Firework.”
Elsewhere on the blue carpet was Anitta, who fiercely posed in an undone tuxedo and white button-down look; Zöe Kravitz, who took a sweet candid with friend Hailey Baldwin; newlyweds Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham; and actress Florence Pugh. Anya Taylor Joy, Blake Lively, Tiffany Haddish, Jacob Elordi and Tracee Ellis Ross were also among the famous faces in attendance.

“I’m excited to launch this next generation of SKIMS shapewear with a campaign that celebrates these incredible musical artists,” Kardashian said in a statement regarding the release. “Ice Spice, Nessa Barrett, PinkPantheress, and RAYE are super talented women and truly reflect our SKIMS community.”
In the new brand images and videos, Ice Spice wears the Seamless Sculpt High Neck Thong Bodysuit in the color bronze and PinkPantheress wears the Seamless Sculpt High Waist Catsuit in the color jasper (charcoal gray). Elsewhere in the campaign images, Barrett is seen in the Seamless Sculpt Slip Dress in the color sienna (tan) while RAYE appears in the Seamless Sculpt Strapless Thong Bodysuit in the color clay (light gray).
“SKIMS just gets it and makes me feel extra snatched,” said Ice Spice. “I’m happy to be a part of the latest campaign.” PinkPantheress echoed her collaborator’s sentiment, adding, “These styles empower me to try clothes I wouldn’t have tried before and make me feel so comfortable and secure.”
On the charts, PinkPantheress and Ice Spice’s “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2” sits at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, while Ice’s “Princess Diana” remix with Nicki Minaj debuts at No. 4 on the chart.

Zendaya has landed another major partnership. On Thursday (April 20), Louis Vuitton announced that the Euphoria actress has been named a house ambassador, and stars in the luxury fashion brand’s newest campaign for the Capucines handbag.
This partnership marks Zendaya’s first with Louis Vuitton. The photos for the Capucines bag features the star drenched in sunlight, posing with several models of the purse in Cote d’Azur (the French Riviera).

“I remember growing up around LV campaigns,” the “Replay” singer shared in an interview with Vogue. “There was this one that I loved from the early 2000s of Naomi Campbell, and she’s like sprawled out over a trunk. I can still see it. I can see the image in my head and I remember seeing it in magazines as a kid.”
Starring in the campaign adds another dose of nostalgia, as the Louis Vuitton iconography played into her social media usage and made frequent appearances on Myspace during the social networking site’s prime. “Everyone had the LV-print on their Myspace page,” she explained. “At least I had that! Let me not try to put that on nobody else. That was definitely me.”
Zendaya was most recently an ambassador for Valentino, joining the fashion house’s family in 2020.

It seems that two of the most beloved fashion brands might be partnering up. Supreme and Coogi are rumored to be collaborating on a forthcoming drop.
As spotted on Hype Beast the speculation is swirling around the streetwear community that the culture might be in store for a co-branded effort from the New York City headquartered company and the Australian fashion house. Earlier this week Supreme insider @dropsgg reported that the two brands are currently working on a capsule collection.
“Supreme x Coogi is set to release a collaboration together in the coming weeks! Who’s hyped?” the caption read. The accompanying visual is the iconic picture of The Notorious B.I.G. from a Vibe Magazine shoot of him wearing their signature jacquard sweater while counting money. While neither brand has yet to confirm or deny the rumor the mere thought of a collaboration has already got the internets talking. “coogi print box logos would b insane” one commenter posted. While another user responded “I been waiting for this all my life”.
Coogi was founded in 1969 in Toorak, Australia. Hip-Hop culture adopted the kaleidoscopic-patterned sweaters back in the mid 1990’s. Today the original knitwear pieces are highly coveted on the resale market; fetching upwards to $5,000.00 for never-worn pieces. Most recently Coogi has collaborated with Burton Snowboards, Rag & Bone, Android Homme, and Puma.

Are you ready for Coachella? Flo Milli might be able to help — in the fashion department.
American Express has established a new global, multi-festival partnership with Depop, the trending, community-powered fashion resale marketplace, to create special collections of pre-loved clothing-turned-festival wear that are curated by a roster of talent. “Part of the fun of festival season happens when fans are planning and picking their ‘fits and expressing their creativity and individuality through fashion,” said Shiz Suzuki, vice president, global brand sponsorships and experiential marketing at American Express, in a press statement.
Peter Semple, Depop’s CMO, added that the Festival Edit collections are “inspired by iconic musical artists who embody the bold, creative spirit of the Depop community. With an ever-growing number of festival attendees seeking to shop sustainably, Depop is constantly meeting our community where they are and providing our customers with compelling new ways to commit to circular fashion.”
On Friday (April 7), Flo Milli unveiled the first Festival Edit collection, where Depop users around the world can shop the “Conceited” MC’s favorite Y2K-inspired finds on the app and online. “American Express and Depop are bringing my personal style to life this festival season and I’m so excited to be part of the first collection,” she said. “Through both my music and fashion, I always aim to express myself with authenticity and creativity. I can’t wait for Depop users to shop my festival-ready looks, featuring bold, glam pieces with Y2K and grunge influence.”
Flo Milli will make her Coachella debut on Saturday, April 15 and April 22. Shop her Festival Edit collection here.

Finding the right swimsuit can be a task. From body type to fabric, cut and style, there’s a lot to factor in when shopping for swimwear.
Can you even swim in a crochet bikini? You can certainly try, but crochet bikinis are probably better for making a fashion statement than taking a dip — and celebs have taken notice. Dua Lipa, who loves rocking crochet clothing, was spotted in a checkered crochet bikini in Miami last year, while Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney struck a pose in a Mao London Lili crochet bikini during a 2022 beachside photoshoot.
But it’s not just swimwear. Olivia Rodrigo sported a crochet look on the cover of Variety in 2021, Miley Cyrus has worn crochet multiple times, and Solange is no stranger to the crochet trend.

As expected, the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper didn’t disappoint with her Roach-curated look, a gold vintage 1997 Paco Rabanne that was originally worn by Yasmeen Ghauri. The stylist revealed at the event that the outfit was remade “months and months and months ago” by the house’s Julien Dossena.
Meg added her flair to the look with her natural, voluminous curls as well as a sleek cat-eye makeup look and long, golden nails.

“What can I say about Law?” Meg told THR of her fashionable peer. “He’s the best. Like, I’m so upset that he’s going away right now because I need him. The world needs him. But he’s amazing, and we appreciate him so much. We don’t have a business relationship. It’s more like family. I’m still going to bother him, and he’s not going to stop being my family. He’s just not going to be in my closet.”
The event comes just a week after Roach announced his retirement from personal styling, explaining on Instagram that the decision came because “the politics, the lies and false narratives” finally got him. “You win,” he shared. “I’m out.”
