When fashion items are deemed “out,” they fall into one of two categories. Either they’ve simply hit their peak for the time being and are expected to return to grace in the future, or they’re so hated by then that we collectively promise never to wear them again. Leather leggings, similar to extra-low-rise jeans and whale tails, fell into the latter group. But just like its neighbours on the list, the controversial legging style is unexpectedly back. For proof, see Hailey Bieber. During her and Kylie Jenner’s trip to Aspen for New Year’s Eve, the model and Rhode founder was spotted downtown wearing an all-black après-ski outfit consisting of an oversize, belted Saint Laurent coat, sunglasses, and a Le 5 À 7 shoulder bag as well as Lo...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty The son of heralded actress Angela Bassett, Slater Vance, landed in hot water, issuing an apology after pulling a video prank involving faking the death of Michael B. Jordan on TikTok. On New Year’s Eve, Slater Vance filmed a video that he shared on the social media platform apologizing for the stunt where he claimed that her fellow Black Panther actor Jordan had died to the actress and his father, actor Courtney B. Vance. “I apologize to Michael B. Jordan’s entire family, his extended family, and him directly as he is an idol of mine,” he said in a video posted to his Instagram account which was deleted shortly after. “Taking part in a trend like this is completely disrespectful. I don’t wish any bad ramifications upon his fami...
I use the term brave quite loosely here, but in the context of airport outfits, Florence Pugh’s is just that. In my opinion, airport outfits live and die by what trousers you wear. Choose a pair that’s uncomfortable or annoying in the least, and you may quickly have regrets while waiting in line at security. Pugh, who was photographed landing at LAX this week, wore trousers that I’d wear in life but certainly not to the airport. So what made these pants an airport “no” for me? Nothing more than the fact that they’re white. While her trousers look quite comfortable, the fact that they’re so light in colour pretty much guarantees that I’d get them dirty in an airport and on the plane. If you’re confident that...
Celebrities are notorious for taking risks with fashion. Events such as the Met Gala or the VMAs offer the perfect excuse to test-drive an adventurous look, but lately, I’ve been noticing celebrities wearing one particularly daring trend with no red carpet in sight. Yep, I’m talking about the underwear-as-trousers look. Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Tessa Thompson, and Bella Hadid have all experimented with the trend and generated plenty of headlines while doing so. All four women have taken different approaches to styling the trend. Tessa Thompson, for instance, wore an oversize Loewe sweater with a trench coat, while Bella Hadid went casual in underwear and Ugg boots. Meanwhile, the sisters Jenner both added tights to their underwear-as-ou...

Bill Cosby appeared as a surprise guest on the WGH Talk radio show Wednesday (Dec. 28).

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gregory Bojorquez / Getty Back in September, the Hip-Hop world lost renowned “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper Coolio, who died at age 59 of causes still yet to be determined while visiting a friend in Los Angeles. Now, the late West Coast rapper’s assets are set to be divided between seven of his reported 10 children. According to Mirror, Coolio, whose real name was Artis Leon Ivey Jr., didn’t leave a will before he passed away, which left it up to his manager, Jarez Posey, to start legal proceedings to assess his estate, which is most likely to be inherited by his seven adult children who are listed as his next of kin. It’s a situation similar to that of actor Chadwick Boseman, who also died without leaving a will. (His estate ended up being divided between h...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nina Westervelt / Getty Earlier this month, The View host Whoopi Goldberg addressed past comments about race and the Holocaust. According to Deadline, Whoopi Goldberg made the comments while doing press for the movie Till where she plays the mother of Mamie Till-Mobley. “My best friend said, ‘Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,’” she said in the interview with the Sunday Times, which was published during Hanukkah. The comments were a callback to comments the Sister Act actor made at the top of 2022 where she said that “Nazis saw Jews as a race.” Sheadded, “Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it? The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believi...

If that weren’t impressive enough, the coat comes from Rachel Stevens’s fashion capsule with high-street hero, Oasis. While it’s real leather, which naturally commands a higher cost, it does have a lower price tag than other iterations currently on the market. Her trousers? They’re also genuine leather but come from another high-street favourite, Arket. In true Who What Wear fashion, Stevens can’t resist the temptation of investing in a cult designer piece to round off her look; cue The Row‘s zip-front boots that have been on my wish list for a solid 24 months. There’s something so elevated about this outfit, but when you break it down, it’s incredibly easy to emulate. Scroll on to shop Rachel Stevens’s exact pieces below, then continue...
