Brittney Griner Cut Off Locs Due to Frigid Russian Temperatures
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Russian State Media / Russia State Media WNBA star and two-time Olympic gold-medalist Brittney Griner returned home to the United States last week after a high stakes trade with Russia.

So Long, High Heels—These Are the Party Shoes Every Fashion Person Wants Now
I have a pretty big thing for shoes. A fashion editor who loves shoes? Go figure! But out of all the items you can decorate your wardrobe with, shoes are the piece that I find the hardest to resist. Sizing is seldom an issue with shoes, and 11 years into my career, I’m still impressed by how the simple switch of footwear can completely reimagine an outfit. As such, I’m always open to adding new styles to my wardrobe. The pair I currently have my eye on? Gucci’s incredibly popular crystal, kitten-heel slingbacks. Is your interest piqued? It should be. I first saw Gucci’s crystal slingbacks last winter—its GG logo applied delicately to mesh in teeny rhinestones. Although they’re the perfect low-heel shoes for parties and weddings, at the time, my social calendar didn’t call for the...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Comedy Central / Comedy Central It seems like only yesterday that a young South African comedian stepped into the giant shoes left by Jon Stewart and took over The Daily Show.

The Daily Show is still a fan favorite, generates viral clips and has helped develop careers including those of Roy Woods, Jr., Jessica Williams, and Amber Ruffin.

Celebrities Adore This Expensive-Looking Mango Coat—It’s Just Been Restocked
Like an alarm bell going off in my mind, I suddenly realised that Hadid wasn’t the only celebrity to have worn this woollen Mango coat. Alexa Chung, Katie Holmes and Sienna Miller had snapped it up and worn it. My Mango contact confirmed my theory that all four women had indeed worn it—the one you now see before you. After something of a frenzy, the coat sold out, leaving those who missed it disappointed in the process. Today, however, I have good news—the very same Mango coat has just been restocked with a few updates—there’s an additional button, for one—and is currently available in all sizes. Though, I don’t expect this to be the case for long. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with...

Tyler, The Creator Tells Fans To “Study” Missy Elliott’s Catalog
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Winter / Getty Two-time Grammy Award winner Tyler, The Creator has long been a music aficionado. He recently chimed in on a thread on Twitter where he encouraged the young fans among his 9.7 million followers to study the music of Missy Elliott. Missy Elliott, herself a four-time Grammy winner, recently shared some insight into the processes behind her critically-acclaimed catalog. She wrote on Twitter, “My 1st album was stressfree because I didn’t have any expectations. My label told me they would give me my own label if I did 1 album so me & @Timbaland completed this album in 2 weeks not knowing this would be the beginning of many more to come.” A day after the tweet, Tyler, the Creator jumped into the dialogue saying, “...
Sienna Miller Swerved the Naked Dress Trend in Favour of Another Risqué Style
I’ll be honest. I didn’t think I’d see the return of 2002-esque footless tights, well, ever. But if there’s one thing we can rely on in fashion, it’s that everything is cyclical, and though I may have shiver-inducing memories of bright-pink footless tights paired with a DIY studded miniskirt from my childhood, others might be excited for the return of this hosiery. And if anyone could convince me to entertain the idea of a footless-tights revival, it’s Sienna Miller. The intrigue of Miller’s style comes from its unpredictability. You can really never guess what she’ll wear next. Some days she embraces bohemian classics, whilst on other days she edges towards classic minimalism, and just as you think you’ve figured her out, s...

Summer Walker Responds To Being Dragged For Seeking “White Or Gay” Assistant
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Joseph Okpako / Getty Summer Walker appears to be big mad at Black people for being big mad at her anti-Blackness, and now it’s just unclear if this sweet Summer child has any kind of social awareness whatsoever. It all started when the Atlanta-based songstress posted a job opening on her Instagram account earlier offering $2,000 a month for a male assistant who is at least 25 years old, knows how to “build stuff” and—here’s the weird anti-Black kicker—is “preferably white or gay.” Apparently, Walker thought Black people were being unreasonable in wondering why the hell a Black woman would prefer to give her coins to a white person specifically. “And then to be talking about, ‘Why a white man and why a gay man?’” Walker said in response to the backlash, a...
