Picking up where Givenchy Fall 2023 Men’s started, Creative Director Matthew M. Williams continues the story of Parisian elegance meets Cali’s coastal ease for the womenswear side of the brand. Taking it back to the École Militaire, where menswear was shown, Williams and the Givenchy team showed a lineup of strong tailoring and femininity.

The looks that followed featured the same solid tailoring with bold shoulders covering overcoats and A-line blazer dresses before opening into a beautiful harmony of textures (leather, cashmere, chiffon, sequin, and velvet). Similar to the menswear lineup, Givenchy women’s FW23 is mostly done in black and black, with a small collection of poppy hues riddled throughout.
The show opened with a black waistcoat outfitted with three box pleats, bold shoulders, and four buttons in addition to the two functional buttons that close the coat. It’s the kind of piece one might assume is couture, and that assumption wouldn’t be so far off. Some of the looks this season, although prêt-à-porter, were crafted in Givenchy’s couture atelier.

The monochromatic offerings come in an array of looks. From proportion play in the tailoring to split leather looks and outstanding eveningwear. However, Williams shakes things up with conceptual layering that mixes textures and highlights distressing. Think, a dystopian Mad Max-like world…but fashion.

Like Givenchy Fall 2023 Men’s, Matthew M. Williams has found thee way to juxtaposed the late Hubert de Givenchy’s iconically Parisian house with the ethos of his own Californian upbringing.
Celebs showed up and showed out at Milan Fashion Week which came to a closure on Monday. From Lori Harvey who slayed in a Bally denim chambray top and black beaded maxi skirt to Kim Kardashian, who’s the latest muse for Dolce & Gabbana, and made it well-known through a variety of D&G looks- we saw various celebs making a stampede at the shows in Italy.

Kim Kardashian served us two spicey ensembles including a nude monochromatic two-piece D&G look that had buckles across the bust of her cropped moto top and down the sides of her nude mini skirt. Her calf high boots were the perfect addition and perhaps this look reminded us of her “KIMYE” days when Kanye West used to style her. Kim also shined bright in a red embellished two-piece bralette and maxi skirt that was both daring and alluring.

While Lebron James is an MVP on the court, his wife Savannah James has been dominating in the fashion world. Along with Kim Kardashian, Savannah attended the Dolce & Gabbana show in a black D&G lace body suit that was layered with a puffer dress and combat boots. British singer, Dua Lipa also wore black lace while attending the GCDS show in Milan, and she was giving exuberant sex-appeal.

Savannah was the moment at Milan fashion week and in another look she was draped in a full SS23 Gucci grey double-breasted suit with a blue button up skirt, and statement trousers that had rhinestones perfectly planted down the seams of her pants. She accessorized with a pure white Gucci mini bag and Gucci pumps.

It’s no surprise that Gucci was a fan favorite amongst many celebs during Milan Fashion week. Celebrities were dripped in Gucci apparel from head to toe including Halle Bailey, and Elda Idris wife, Sabrina Elba who was spotted sitting front row with rapper A$AP Rocky at the Gucci show.
Sabrina looked effortlessly chic in a brown tweed double breasted Gucci coat with a button up shirt and leather tie. Her distressed Gucci jeans made her ensemble that much more appealing. A$AP Rocky served us a navy Gucci pinstripe suit and layered it with a dark grey skort which we all know is his signature look.

A$AP Rocky was also spotted walking hand and hand with Rihanna on another occasion while in Milan. Rihanna strutted in a peach Lapointe dress layered with a PDF bomber jacket that was styled with open toe heels. Contrary to his look at the Gucci show, A$AP Rocky kept it classic with a black leather jacket, white tee, and light wide leg denim pants. Most notable was A$AP’s square toe shoes with silver hardware.

Denim was a major staple during Milan Fashion Week and model Julia Fox made it evident in her denim on denim look by Diesel. She rocked a denim bandeau top with an off the shoulder denim jacket and rustic denim jeans that look like they were attached to her denim boots. We couldn’t help but to be in awe by her son Valentino who was twinning with his mother in a denim-on-denim look.

Milan fashion week was highly anticipated, and celebs were definitely a sight to behold. Now that it’s officially Paris Fashion week, we are undoubtedly in Parisian mode.
Power: Book II, a book, and now, a two-part series titled, The Wine Down. Yesterday evening, at the 40/40 club, Mary J. Blige held a private screening of The Wine Down. With the first episode airing tonight on BET and the second to follow on March 8th, The Wine Down is a primetime talk show hosted by our reigning queen of R&B.

Before the show premiered, I sat with Mary for the pre-wine down, where she dished on the show’s history and what to expect from the coming episodes. She entered the lounge era where I was seated, delivering a stunning smile and ––of course–– style. Her printed Versace two-piece was an electrifying lime green that commanded all the attention it got.
The idea developed during the first quarantine of the pandemic. Mary became concerned about what people were feeling, the heavy drinking, and the abuse that came about during this time. She soon turned her concern into action when she decided to generate a platform for artists to visually express, that despite what’s shown on social media and television, “they too are going through it with them”, said the legendary artist.

The Wine Down is set to feature her girlfriend and people she admires while Mary hosts a safe space to listen and accept their truths about topics such as sex, love, and business. In line with creating a secure environment for her guests, The Wine Down will follow the format of Lebron James’ The Shop, where audience members do not exist. “The goal is to build trust.” Said Mary, not only in the space of The Wine Down but in Mary too, as the listener and advocate of getting stories out, leaving no room for any embarrassing moments or moments for the interviewee “to feel set up for a 1,2 punch“ emphasized Mary. She plans to be in the writer’s room making sure the questions are safe for those sharing. She hints at a time when felt disregarded in a discussion and wants to ensure her guests never feel that way.
Tune into BET tomorrow for The Wine Down and see not only who, Mary speaks with, but what do they have to say.
Online casinos are getting popular, and you might be considering gambling online rather than in person since most of your casino buddies are doing so. In 2020, the market size value of global online gambling reached $63.53 Billion, continuously growing. It is forecasted to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate or CAGR of 11.7% in 2030.
Before you start playing online casino games, you might want to ponder these things first:
Online Gambling Regulation of Your State
Most states in the United States have accepted online gambling and allow their citizens to participate in online casino games. However, there are still some that still prohibit online casinos.
For several years now, most states have legalized horse race betting, but only recently did these states make other forms of online gambling legal, including online casinos. Delaware, Nevada, and New Jersey were the first states that opened their minds about online casinos and legalized them.
Michigan also joined the fun when it legalized online poker, sports betting, and gambling. Meanwhile, the states that have no legal gambling of some sort are:
Hawaii
Utah
Alaska
Tennessee
Texas
If you’re unsure about the online casino regulations of your state, it’s best that you do your research before you start gambling online.
The Platform’s Legitimacy
Many criminals are lurking online, and one of their easy targets is gamblers who are new to the online casino industry. When you search for online casinos on your search engine, you will find hundreds, if not thousands, of online casinos popping up in your search result.
But are these websites legitimate? Most are, but some aren’t. This is what you should watch out for. The only way to avoid falling prey to online criminals using online casinos as a front is to learn how to spot illegitimate online casino websites. If you don’t know how to do it yet, here are some tips you should keep in mind.
Check for the online casino’s license. Licensed online casinos usually have a logo on their website. Avoid websites that don’t have a logo or if their logo isn’t clickable. Once you click it, you should be redirected to the licensing commission’s official website. Any gambling commission, including Malta Gaming, should regulate online casinos Authority.
Next is to check the banking options offered by the website. Opt for casinos that offer global financial brands like Mastercard, Visa, or Paypal.
Examine the bonuses and promotions offered by the online casino. Legitimate online casinos also offer generous welcome bonuses and other promotions. Bonuses could come in different forms, like free spins or cash bonuses that you can use to play any casino games on their site.
Reputable software providers should be the one who develops the online games found on the website.
Check for review. The online review of an online casino is the easiest and most effective way to know if the casino is legitimate or not.
You Should Have A Well-Established Bankroll
Having a bankroll increases your chance of profiting from online gambling and protecting your financial health in the long run. You have to accept that some days are better than others, and if you have a bankroll, you can avoid chasing losses during the bad days.
Additionally, a bankroll helps you set a limit on your gambling expenses, keeping you on the right lane for your gambling hobby. It is easy to lose yourself in the middle of a gambling frenzy, and it is also easy to exhaust all your finances if you don’t set a solid bankroll.
This shouldn’t only apply to playing online casinos but also be your priority if you play in-person gambling.
You Can Play On Your Mobile Devices
In case you didn’t know, most online casinos also offer their services on mobile devices. It allows you to play your favorite online casino games on the go. That’s why you should check if your chosen online casino also has a mobile app you can install on your smartphone or tablet.
Imagine being stuck in traffic, yet you can still access your favorite casino game while you kill time on the road. You can also find online casinos that are for mobile devices only.
Many players have found playing on their mobile phones more convenient. Once you try it yourself, you’ll also find it more suitable for your lifestyle, especially if you are always on the go.
Don’t Forget to Have Fun
Playing online casinos should be fun and not stressful. But unfortunately, many players tend to forget to have fun as they focus too much on earning. Though it’s not wrong for you to aim to win. But you shouldn’t forget to have fun.
Fun is what casino games should be, and there’s no point in playing if you’re stressing yourself out and ending up getting depressed over losses. Start learning how to accept failure and know that gambling is not certain.
Bottom Line
Gambling through online casinos is a good decision, especially nowadays, as these platforms are highly accessible to anyone. It doesn’t only help you have fun, but it also offers convenience at its finest. What are you waiting for? Start switching to online casinos and see the difference for yourself.
Chris Brown’s latest single Psychic is a rhythmic hit featuring the glamorous Jack Harlow. The music video is a fun dance-heavy visual that starts with Brown jumping off a skyscraper in a futuristic society before landing on a rainbow and taking us through multiple dance scenes are several eye-catching sets.
The song is sampled over Cassie’s 2006 single Me & U, and she stars alongside Brown as the video’s leading lady. The last time we saw Chris and Cassie in a video together was when Brown dropped his 2009 single Crawl (the video where she iconically debuted her shaved head).

A$AP Rocky has been having an eventful few weeks. After his famously stylish better half debuted that she’s pregnant with their second child (during the Super Bowl halftime show nonetheless!), Vogue UK dropped an edgy editorial starring the whole Fenty/Rocky fam. Now A$AP’s back again, at the top of our feeds, and, as it often is, his undeniable style is at the center of the conversation.
As a Gucci ambassador and the latest campaign star, A$AP’s attendance at the brand’s Fall/Winter 2023 show was to be expected, and, as also expected, he pulled up looking bomb.

According to Pew Research Center, millions of Americans love the legalization wave that has hit the US in the past five years. So far, 37 states have legalized cannabis for medical use and 16 others – for recreational use. However, the federal government hasn’t legislated national laws to govern cannabis use.
Millions of Americans are embracing cannabis because of its nutritional and health benefits. Besides, thousands are joining the growing bandwagon for personal and commercial weed use. But irrespective of one’s goals, one thing remains paramount: high-quality and cheap cannabis seeds. Choosing qualitative cheap seeds determines how much returns you get on your investment.

This strain has beautiful flowers with resinous and purple hues; it is an extremely stinky strain anyone can easily grow, including novices. Under optimal conditions, you can expect to harvest some 90 grams of dry weight from each plant.
Bottom Line
Good seeds are everything when you need to engage in successful cannabis growing. Therefore, pay special attention to the quality of seeds you choose for your cultivation projects. Selecting the wrong seeds means preparing yourself for a poor-quality harvest and vice versa. We hope this complete coverage will help you make the right choice before buying weed seeds.

Some people are calling it the comeback, but Wendy William has been here for years. The talk host queen has been spotted out on the town since her departure from her syndicated talk show and since seeking rehabilitation for health and addiction issues.
Her returning debut has caused quite the scene, especially considering all the looks she’s been flaunting. We first saw Wendy Williams reemerge this month at Daniel’s Leather New York fashion show where she was styled in a black belted jumpsuit and a custom cotton candy fur by Daniels Leather. She also repped New York with a New York Yankees hat and looked genuinely happy to be back in the public eye.

Wendy has made it clear that she ready to be back on TV and is open to new opportunities to showcase her skills. In fact, she was spotted filming with friends and a crew inside Fresco by Scotto last Tuesday night, dripped in designer apparel. From a custom Louis Vuitton moto fur jacket by Mel Maxi, to Louis Vuitton denim shorts, Fendi stockings and her Gucci crocodile bowler bag, this diva has made it clear that she isn’t one to shy away from labels. She completed her look with her infamous black Bear Paw booties that she loves to wear.

Most recently, we saw Wendy Williams leaving a New York residency sporting a custom navy-blue Gucci parka jacket with fox fur by Mel Maxi. She kept it simple with a black turtleneck and denim shorts and accessorized with a gold and black Chanel belt, and a fiery red Hermes bag. It feels great to see Wendy Williams in all her glory pushing through boundaries and doing it in style. We look forward to seeing what’s to come next from the talk show host this year.
