The Complete Backstory of the Louis Vuitton x Murakami Collection (W Magazine)

Clockwise from top left: Takashi Murakami’s ‘The World of Sphere,’ 2003; Takashi Murakami with Alma bag, 2003; a young Murakami with toys; Paris Hilton in 2004, carrying a bag from the original collaboration. In 2003, before Phoebe Philo became a fashion deity, Hedi Slimane turned to womenswear, and The Row redefined haute minimalism, there was one designer whose ability to read the culture stood out like a diamond tiara at a stoop sale: Marc Jacobs. Jacobs was then six years into his role as artistic director at Louis Vuitton. If any uncertainty lingered that an American enfant terrible—Jacobs had been fired from Perry Ellis for designing his now beloved “Grunge” collection—was qualified to steer one of France’s premier leather goods brands to global...

RHODE’S PEPTIDE LIP SHAPER IS FINALLY HERE (NYLON)

If you’ve been paying attention to Hailey Bieber’s TikToks, there’s a high chance you’ve already spotted Rhode’s newest launch. Over the past few weeks, Bieber has posted several videos of herself applying a mystery lip liner, leading her followers to suspect it’s a subtle way to tease her own brand’s newest drop — and today, their suspicions are confirmed. Rhode has officially announced the Peptide Lip Shape, a new product that promises to level up the lip liner category. And, because no Rhode launch is complete without a surprise celebrity endorsement, Bieber has also released a sleek, workout-themed campaign for Peptide Lip Shape featuring Tate McRae, Yoon Bae, Anyier Anei, Mahi Kabra, and herself.

Pop music’s two favorite brunettes Jennie and Dua Lipa don’t just have a catchy mid-tempo song together: They’re both Chanel girls through and through. While Jennie was holding down the fine jewelry front, as of today, she’s now also the face of the Chanel 25 handbag alongside Dua.

Appearing on an episode of ‘Chicken Shop Date’ with Amelia Dimoldenberg.

HERE’S EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT SEASON 3 OF ‘EUPHORIA’ (Hypebae)

Fans have been waiting for Season 3 of Euphoria for so long that many gave up caring. That was until first looks at the new season began to trend on social media. Now, it appears the show’s creator Sam Levinson isn’t letting his failed series, The Idol, deter the hype. In February of 2022, it was reported that production for Season 3 of Euphoria would begin in 2023, which meant the new season was slated to premiere in 2024. Its now 2025 and fans are just now receiving a first look. Despite claiming they wouldn’t care if the series returned (as characters began aging out of the storyline), Levinson has pulled his go-to trick to get people to care: strip clubs and Rue’s not-so-great decision-making. In one first look, Alexa Demie, who plays Maddie, is seen outside...

Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Spotify Press Conference Was a Reminder of How the Fan-Artist Relationship Should Work (teenVOGUE)

“This really is a Little Monsters press conference,” Lady Gaga said in response to the very first question a fan asked her at Spotify's recent event for top listeners celebrating Gaga's new album Mayhem. Spotify gathered 200 of her top fans — and crucially, locked up their phones — at Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse on Feb. 27 for a listening party, in which Mayhem played in its entirety and Gaga herself took to the floor to dance with fans. Then, those same fans gathered for a mock press conference, hosted by Benny Drama. That first question was if Gaga had seen Azealia Banks's comments about her song “Disease” — the answer: yes — and was one of many questions about deep Gaga lore. These fans...

Ariana Grande Has Been Changed for Good (W Magazine)

Like so many fans of Wicked, Ariana Grande was just a kid—10 years old, to be exact—when she saw the Broadway show for the first time, and it immediately imprinted itself on her. “I loved it to death,” she says. “I know my life in two chapters: before seeing Wicked and after seeing Wicked; before seeing Harry Potter, after seeing Harry Potter. And”—she adds with a laugh—“before Little Antonio, after Little Antonio.” The latter is a reference to her performance in the viral SNL sketch “Castrati,” in which she played a young boy with a bowl haircut who’s able to hit the highest of notes after being castrated. Beyond having a once-in-a-generation voice and two Grammy wins under her belt, Grande, now 31, is famously a master of...
