You Don’t Know Lou Llobell Yet, But You’re About to See Her Everywhere

As sudden as it might seem, Llobell, a Zimbabwean Spanish actress based in London, has actually had a while to acclimate to the prospect. As with so many productions in TV and film, Foundation took longer to complete due to COVID-19. Additionally, the journey to securing her position as Gaal was a lengthy and arduous one: “I had three auditions. I had the first one with the casting director. The second was a recall with David Goyer and Rupert Sanders, who directed the first episode. And then, we had a five-day test week. It was five days of auditions every day—me and five other girls going up for my role. It was pretty intense, but it was a really wonderful thing to see because we’re all young actresses of colour, which I think you don’t get to see or be around very often. As intense as it...

Victoria Beckham Just Wore the Coolest Jeans Outfit

Victoria Beckham isn’t showing on the London Fashion Week schedule this season, which means we won’t see the usual VB outings in and out of hotels and meetings in the lead up to her show. She might not have the LFW deadline this weekend, however she is still busy in the studio working on her final spring summer 2022 collection and last week she shared a picture of reviewing her looks. But it’s her outfit I’m most interested in, as she managed to make jeans and a sweatshirt look polished and so very ‘Posh.’ She wore her own namesake ‘Victoria’ jeans which are very high-waisted and have a flare and distressed detailing. She then tucked a grey sweatshirt into the waistband, and tied it together with a black leather belt. It’s the acce...

.Prosecutors Decide To Drop Charges Against T.I. and Tiny In L.A

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The sexual assault case that was brought against T.I. and Tiny earlier this year has now been dropped by the prosecutors who filed them in Los Angeles, California. According to documents from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office, the prosecutors made the decision on Thursday (September 16) to drop the charges against the rapper and his wife because of the initial case being beyond the statute of limitations. “Without the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence being evaluated, the case is declined due to the expiration,” the filing read. The statute of limitations in the state of California is ten years. The case brought against T.I. and Tiny was the result of an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department after an unna...

Jenna Coleman Just Wore the Autumn Jacket Trend That’s All Over the High Street

We don’t get to see a lot of Jenna Coleman out and about, and more’s the pity as we’ve been long-time fans of her style. The actress is often spotted wearing more understated looks but that doesn’t mean we haven’t noticed her stylish outfits. Last night, she once again proved that less is more wearing a head-to-toe Chanel look that’s the perfect autumnal outfit for when you don’t want to wear a fancy dress but still want to look chic. While attending this year’s Royal Academy of Arts summer exhibition party, Coleman opted for a pair of chevron trousers, a Chanel belt and a classic Chanel bouclé jacket. Although we loved the whole ensemble, it’s the jacket that really caught our eye and reminded us just why the fashion house’s...

Alexa Chung Just Wore the Casual Outfit All Our Editors Love

It goes without saying that here at Who What Wear, we always keep a keen eye on what Alexa Chung is wearing. From events to red carpets, the designer is often seen in the most covetable looks, inspiring many an outfit idea amongst the editors on our team. However, while Alexa’s event attire is often comprised of enviable designer wares, it’s usually her casual looks that I find myself most interested in.

Case in point: Chung was spotted in London this week wearing what can only be described as a dream late summer look. The designer paired white straight leg jeans with a button-down waistcoat (expertly styled with only 2 buttons done u...
