Jennifer Lopez is the New Face of Coach

Jennifer Lopez is the new face of Coach. She takes the role while Selena Gomez steps down from the ambassador position. “I’m so excited for this collaboration with Coach,” JLo said. “It is a timeless brand that I’ve always been a fan of and the upcoming collection really speaks to my personal style—an uptown/downtown mix.”

 

“She’s determined, and she’s an original who has followed her own path to do things her own way—she really embodies the attitude of Coach and our new campaign,” said Stuart Vevers, Coach’s Brand Director. Jennifer Lopez joins Michael B Jordan who has held the role since 2018.

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is Cancelled 

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will not be happening this year. Its parent company, L Brands, said it would have to ‘evolve the messaging of [the company]’ before returning. Over the past few years, controversy has plagued the label due to lack of diversity and relations to Jeffrey Epstein.

 

“Unfortunately the Victoria’s Secret show won’t be happening this year,” said VS Angel, Shanina Shaik, in June. “It’s something I’m not used to because every year around this time I’m training like an Angel.” Suspicions were confirmed earlier this week with the confirmation from the parent company. “We think it’s important to evolve the marketing of Victoria’s Secret,” explained Stuart B. Burgdoerfer, the CFO and Executive Vice President of L Brands.
