Beyoncé & Jay Z Front New Tiffany & Co. Campaign
Tiffany & Co have finally released their awaited campaign with Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The couple feature in the campaign ‘About Love,’ which celebrates iconic couple and what love means in modern times. Beyoncé and Jay Z are positioned in front of a particularly rare Jean-Michel Basquiat 1982 painting, Equals Pi, making it the piece’s first public appearance. Beyoncé steals the spotlight in a black floor-length gown and mesh gloves, donning the Tiffany Diamond. In 1878, Charles Tiffany bought the 128.54-carat diamond, which boasts 82 facets. This is the fourth time it has made an appearance, previously by Mrs. E. Sheldon Whitehouse in 1957, Audrey Hepburn for the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and Lady Gaga at the 91st Academy Awards.

Kim Kardashian Wears Balenciaga Couture to Donda Event
Kim Kardashian has caused a stir by wearing a wedding dress on stage with Kanye for the third listening event for his new album, Donda. An interesting choice for the star, she wore a wedding dress from Balenciaga’s Couture 2021 collection, with a long veil covering her face. The reality star filed for divorce from the rapper after almost seven years of marriage – the couple has four kids together, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. She later shared images backstage with her soon-to-ex husband.
Kanye is facing backlash for the special guests who were featured throughout the listening event. The rapper enlisted in controversial acts, Marilyn Manson and DaBaby. Manson has been accused of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse by more than a dozen women, which he has denied. In June this year, DaBaby faced backlash for a series of homophobic remarks at live events and on Twitter.
