The show, dubbed Salon 03, took place at the Detroit theater, a tribute to Creative Director Daniel Lee’s love of music. Fittingly, musicians Mary J Blige, Kehlani, and Lil Kim populated the front row.

Stylist Jeremy Haynes, who attended the show, said he was shocked when he received the invitation. He said, “I got the invite about a month ago, and at first thought Ugh, I don’t want to go to Detroit! Besides the show wasn’t taking place during normal fashion week. But they spared no expense. It was beautiful.”

While most fashion houses tend to stick to traditional fashion capitals: New York, Paris, Milan, or London, Bottega Veneta, along with many other brands, are breaking new ground at unexpected locales.
It’s Friday and it’s time to get into the top looks of the week! From Beyoncé and Jay-Z to Adele, we were graced with endless celebrity style moments this past week.
Per your engagements during our daily coverage, we rounded up the top looks of the week. Let’s get into them below:

For accessories, she wore with a $1,050 Gucci wide waist logo belt, black heels, shades, and hoop earrings.
The Carters continued to take on Venice in style! Styled by KJ Moody, Beyoncé donned a custom Dolce and Gabbana Majolica tile-print dress paired with sunglasses ($557 Dolce and Gabbana Christmas pearl-embellished cat-eye sunglasses and a white cat-eye pair), Lorraine Schwartz earrings, white strappy sandals, a Dolce and Gabbana papal tiara jewel-encrusted white and gold handbag.

Angelina Jolie attended the LA premiere of Eternals with her kids wearing a Balmain Resort 2022 look, styled by Jason Bolden.

Chlöe Bailey had a full day of activities yesterday during her visit to Atlanta, including stopping by Spelman College and finishing her evening off with a courtside view of the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks game.
For her visit to Spelman, Chlöe wore an Osman Yousefzada x Alex Beattie blue abstract print jumpsuit, styled by Nikki Cortez. She paired the look with a $1,050 Gucci wide waist logo belt, black heels, and hoop earrings.
She was also spied at the Hawks vs. Mavericks game later that evening, wearing the same jumpsuit and Gucci belt while sitting courtside next to rapper Gunna. She swapped her original hoop earrings for a wider pair and added a pair of black shades to go along with the look.
Of course, the snapshot moment of the two caused quite a stir on the internet, leaving fans to speculate if the two could be dating and whether Chlöe or Gunna was drinking Dasani water (side note: many social media users have dubbed Dasani as the “worst” water brand, giving it a bad rep).
Back in September following her epic performance at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, Gunna seemingly “shot his shot” at the singer. On his Instagram story, he posted the viral photo of Chlöe licking her microphone along with the caption that read “it’s the [tongue emoji] for me”.
Draya Michele was spotted on set of a photoshoot wearing a chic look. The model was spied in a green cutout-back sweater mini dress from Fashion Nova.
Draya Michele wore Fashion Nova’s $44.99 Looking Back Sweater Mini Dress in olive green. The mini sweater dress appears in a knit material with a mock neckline and sexy twisted cutouts on the back. Sizes range from small to large.
Draya Michele paired the dress with white leather ankle boots and hoop earrings.
Lil Nas X was honored with his very own day, titled “Lil Nas X Day”, in Atlanta by the city’s council. For the momentous occasion, Broadcast Music, Inc., or BMI, held a dinner in honor of the Montero artist. Many familiar faces attended the party in support of the music artist and the declaration of his special day.
For the party, Lil Nas X wore a $2,860 Dsquared2 Tokyo velvet blazer paired with a black button-up shirt, trousers, and square toe boots. He also wore a butterfly pendant necklace and stud earrings.
FABYs 2018 Executive of the Year Kim Blackwell posed with Kandi Burruss wearing a $3,900 Louis Vuitton lurex monogram sleeveless pullover and monogram patent ankle boots paired with jeans. She also wore jewelry pieces such as necklaces, bracelets, and hoop earrings.
MJ Rodriguez was on the scene at ELLE Magazine’s 25th annual Women in Hollywood celebration, delivering a stunning style moment in a green sequin look.
MJ Rodriguez wore a Valentino green sequin feather-trim v-neck mini dress, styled by Katie Bofshever. For accessories, she wore Anita Ko jewelry and Aquazzura heels to go along with the shimmering green dress. She wore her hair in a semi-wavy hairstyle, worn behind her ears to show off her earrings.
The Kim Kardashian and Balenciaga saga continues as the entrepreneur stepped out in LA wearing another all black outfit by the brand.
Kim Kardashian seemed to be heading to a business meeting wearing a Balenciaga look. The ensemble included a black turtleneck top, leather longline blazer coat, tights, and over-the-knee boots. For accessories, she wore a baseball cap, rectangular shades, and the fluffy faux-fur everyday tote.
Summer Walker dropped her highly anticipated “Ex For A Reason” single and video, which featured City Girls member JT. For the visual, JT stunned in a baby blue ensemble adorned with bamboo earrings.
JT wore a custom look by Laurel DeWitt, styled by Bryon Javar and assisted by Simone G.W. Her look included a bralette top, denim shorts, and platform heels with each embellished with varying styles of bamboo earrings. Continuing the bamboo aesthetic, she also wore a pair of custom Rory Rockmore nameplate earrings. Additionally, the City Girl rocked rings from By Lolita.
This isn’t JT’s first bamboo-earring look either! The rapper also wore a custom L.O.C.A bamboo look back in July for Saweetie’s Freaknik-themed party. Her top mimicked a women’s chest pierced with gold bamboo earrings.
Erica Mena was spied carrying out her “mommy duties” in style. The media personality was seen rocking a cream two piece set from Fashion Nova.
Erica Mena wore the $59.99 Alani Sweater Legging Set from Fashion Nova. The set includes a collared wrap-around crop top paired with high waisted leggings in a cozy cream knit fabric. The set hugs the body with a perfect amount of comfortable stretch, making the co-ord perfect for running errands in a fashion-forward look.
Erica Mena paired the set with quilted sneakers, Dior sunglasses, and stud earrings. She also rocked a braided ponytail to go along with the look.
Adele was on the scene at last night’s Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers game, joined by her beau Rich Paul. For her first appearance since dropping her latest single “Easy On Me”, Adele gave us a stylish brown look featuring Louis Vuitton pieces.
Adele wore a brown belted wrap leather top and matching trousers coordinating with Louis Vuitton accents. She wore the label’s $5,350 raw monogram wool coat, which she draped across her shoulders. She also sported a pair of the brand’s $810 “Cherie” pumps and carried the $2,480 LV Wynwood handbag.
