Friends of Basquiat Call Foul Over Beyoncé & Jay-Z’s Tiffany’s Ad
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Mason Poole / Tiffany & Co. When Beyoncé and Jay-Z made their official debut as ambassadors for the iconic luxury brand Tiffany & Co., the ad campaign that featured a previously unseen painting by the late Jean Michel Basquiat caused an uproar. The backlash is continuing against the company, this time with the painting at the center of the contention. The rare painting, titled Equals Pi, is owned by Tiffany’s and is now on permanent display in their flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The company’s rationale for featuring the painting with its distinct blue hue was explained by executive vice president of product and communications Alexandre Arnault: “As you can see, there is zero Tiffany blue in the campaign other than the painting. ...

The model and beauty mogul regularly delivers pared-back outfit ideas to her loyal following of over 13 million fans, acquiring hundreds of thousands of likes in the process.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Arturo Holmes / Getty The latest documentary series from acclaimed director Spike Lee focusing on the changes New York City has gone through is now undergoing some last-minute editing due to backlash concerning one of the episodes due to one group’s involvement and some comments made by Lee in an interview.

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. Chung possesses the uncanny ability to put together an off-duty outfit that feels incredibly effortless yet seamlessly looks polished and always, oh so cool. 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...
Beyoncé and Jay-Z Debut As Tiffany’s Ambassadors Met With Mixed Reactions
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Mason Poole / Tiffany & Co. Beyoncé has attained another first, as the face of the new campaign of Tiffany and Co. The move has also included Jay-Z, Jean Michel-Basquiat and controversy the size of the Rock of Gibraltar. The new “ABOUT LOVE” campaign was launched on Monday, August 23 by the legendary jewelry brand, featuring the Grammy Award-winning superstar in a short film wearing the iconic Tiffany Yellow Diamond, which was obtained by the founder of the brand in a mine in colonial South Africa in 1884. Beyoncé is the first Black woman and the fourth woman to flaunt the 128.54 carat score ever. The film was shot by Jay-Z using a Super 8 film, with Emmanuel Adjei directing and Beyoncé performing a rendition of “Moon River” which was part of the soun...
J.Lo’s Outfit for Date Night With Ben Is Perfect If You’re Over Skinny Jeans
How does Jennifer Lopez dress for a date night in Los Angeles? Well, for dinner with Ben Affleck at celebrity-favourite restaurant Craig’s, she kept it sleek and simple in a slim-fit tank top, high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, and some designer jewellery. (Oh, and don’t forget her best accessory of all: her ripped arms.) Wide-leg trousers are a fun trend to experiment with if you’ve been wearing your go-to skinny jeans to shreds lately. The pants are super comfortable and easy to wear yet look a lot more polished than denim, making them perfect for date night. Scroll down to see Jennifer Lopez’s new outfit, and shop similar pieces for yourself. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating s...
Of All the Cool Trends Out There, These Are the 11 Celebrities Actually Wear
With an access-all-areas pass to the coolest, newest and most in-demand items in fashion, celebrities don’t just follow trends; they have the power to spark them on a level not even the runways can muster. And while we’ve missed out on the red carpet looks that we usually see the stars wearing for glittering award shows and premieres, we don’t feel short-changed. In fact, we think the most exciting celebrity looks always come from their downtime—when they’re running errands in NYC, stopping for a caffeine fix during a stroll in London or simply checking in with their Instagram followings, showing off their outfits in the process. And this year, there have been lots of impressive outfits at that. As recently as just last week, celebrities have been out in f...
I’ve Worked Out the Items Carrie Bradshaw Always Wears No Matter the Decade
Carrie Bradshaw is nothing if not a fashion devotee. After all, she is the character who once said she would sometimes buy Vogue instead of dinner because she felt it “fed her more.” And while I would by no means advocate for that sort of behaviour, you do have to admire her passion for the cause. From the original Sex and the City series to the movies and new season on the horizon, Bradshaw’s wardrobe has long been a hotly debated topic of conversation. Between the eclectic styling, OTT accessories and sheer number of Manolo Blahniks, there’s always been a lot to discuss. However, while we could spend hours debating the best SATC looks of all time or dissecting in great detail the true meaning behind Bradshaw’s latest outfits, today, we’re here to recou...
Kendall, Bella and Hailey All Love This Controversial Trend—And I Do Too
It’s a real feat of fashion design to be able to tread the line between uber-sass and sophistication. But Jacquemus somehow manages to pull it off season after season. Whether it’s cut-out skirts, fitted dresses or cropped shirts, there’s no escaping that his more revealing pieces still look chic. Part of the winning formula is to do with the way in which an outfit is styled but also I’d say that he often sticks to a more muted palette (with the exception of the bold pinks and oranges) and this gives the pieces a more demure sheen. This season, it’s the turn of the micro cardigan. Spotted on various celebrities—Kendall Jenner on the most recent Jacquemus runway as part of the La Montagne collection, Hailey Bieber out an about in L.A. and Bella H...
Hands Down, These Are the Best-Ever Sex and the City Outfits
If I were to try my hand at analysing the reasons why Sex and the City still holds so much sway over our wardrobes, I’d say it’s because, thanks to Patricia Field’s genius styling, the outfits remain incredibly relevant. No matter how long ago the show started and ended, there are plenty of great looks that hold up today. As a huge fan of the show, I still remember some of the best looks from the six seasons. That’s how groundbreaking I found the fashion. While I loved all the characters, it was Carrie’s fashion-forward style that influenced my teenage and early-20s wardrobe. From trying to hunt down my own name necklace to being persuaded to wear a bum bag, Carrie’s style continues to help me be more adventurous with my own wardrobe. But it’s...
