A$AP Rocky has been true to his moniker, landing in the front row at Milan Fashion Week barely a month after being handed a two-year suspended jail sentence in Sweden.

He was in good spirits at the Prada show, smiling for the cameras and the international influencers, and greeting friends including fellow front-row guest Regina King. But while the diamond-studded smiles and hugs may have been abundant, A$AP wasn’t exactly in the mood for small talk, politely declining to answer questions, although he confirmed that he does have some performances in the pipeline.

Prada was the musician’s first fashion show after he was found guilty of assault in Stockholm, and he spent much of his summer in custody, returning to the U.S. in August.

Instagram follower loops are a common — and questionable — practice dividing the influencer community.⁣ ⁣ In the last year, 201,000 posts and 21,000 influencers have mentioned giveaways on Instagram, according to data from influencer marketing platform Fohr. ⁣ ⁣ On Oct. 7, Kris Jenner posted a photo in which she sits on a staircase covered in Louis Vuitton bags. “WIN 10K USD CASH + all the purses pictured here with me,” read the post, which tagged a company called Curated Businesses. “YES IT’S FOR REAL #ad.”⁣ ⁣ A list of instructions for how to win the designer handbags and cash prize ensued. At the end of the post was a disclaimer that read, in part, “This sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, administered or associated with Instagram, OR THE BRANDS/COMPANY IN THIS PICTURE.”⁣ ⁣ Influencer Claire Fogel, aka @clairebearlondon, told WWD that she paid $150 to participate in a loop last year and gained about 5,500 followers over the course of a few days. A source who wished to remain anonymous said influencers and brands can pay anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 to participate, growing their followings by as much as 200,000 overnight.⁣ ⁣ But what exactly are these giveaways?

Rihanna has addressed the controversy surrounding her latest Vogue profile at the celebration for her new coffee table book.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣“Wait, wait, what?” Rihanna said, standing on the red carpet in a leopard-print Saint Laurent dress. “No, no, no, no. That’s gangster. For you to get a call the day before being like, ‘Hey, Rihanna’s in L.A., you wanna do this?’ And show up on the dime and write an incredible article that I’m really proud of and enjoyed reading? She’s badass for that.” ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ When asked why she chose a coffee table format and not something like a memoir, Rihanna said, “Because I don’t got time for a memoir, girl. And my fans are young and they’ve got ADD; they’d rather look at pictures than read, let’s be real.⁣⁣⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣⁣⁣ Report: @maxinesleep ⁣⁣⁣ 📸: @lexieblacklock⁣⁣⁣ .⁣⁣⁣ .⁣⁣⁣ .⁣⁣⁣ .⁣⁣⁣ #wwdeye⁣⁣⁣ #rihanna

Michael Kors and @theebillyporter share a moment of mutual appreciation at the designer's Studio 54 party. ⁣ ⁣ Kors celebrated his Studio 54 capsule collection with Pictionary at Bergdorf Goodman followed by a party at the Fleur Room with Interview magazine.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ “The first time I went — I don’t know how on earth we got in, I guess we looked pretty cute — we were 17 years old, and it was the night of my senior prom.

Jane Fonda was cuffed on Capitol HilI in protest for climate action. ⁣ ⁣ Fridays for Future, the organization started by youth climate activist Greta Thunberg, protested at the Capitol Building on Friday in Washington, D.C., resulting in the arrest of actress, fitness advocate and activist Jane Fonda.⁣ ⁣ “We feel overwhelmed and we don’t know what to do. We make personal choices like driving an electric car or going vegan and recycling and we think that that’s enough. And it’s great and we need to keep doing it. But this is a collective crisis that needs collective action now,” said the actress in a video shared by the organization on social media.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @kaleyroshitsh . . . . . #janefonda #climatechange #sustainability

Actress @KennedyMcMann gave us an inside look at her take on the iconic literary character Nancy Drew. ⁣ ⁣ It’s a big role for the 22-year-old actress, who recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon’s drama program and approached her first pilot season this past spring with the goal of simply getting called back for a project.⁣ ⁣ “Nancy Drew has always been ahead of her time, and I think that resonates still in the way she conducts herself and her life. She really owns her influence and power, she doesn’t shy away from it,” McMann says.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @ktauer ⁣ 📸: @lexiemoreland⁣ . . . . . . #wwdeye #nancydrew

Gwyneth Paltrow was honored at AmfAR’s Los Angeles Gala. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ The actress was being honored for her work with the nonprofit, which works to support AIDS research and HIV prevention. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ “I feel very humbled and very undeserving and very appreciative. I believe in so much of amfAR’s work and have done and will do whatever I can do to keep supporting the work until there is a cure for HIV and AIDS," Paltrow said.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ More than $1 million was raised during a live auction that followed. The largest bid of the night by a single individual was $140,000 for a custom-tailored suit by Tom Ford and front row seat to an upcoming fashion show. ⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Report: @ryma___________ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #wwdfashion⁣ #gwynethpaltrow ⁣ #amfar

Is fabric art? @Dior makes a good argument here with its Dior Lady Art Project. ⁣ ⁣ It’s been a hotly debated topic for decades, but it seems this “women’s work” is finally being recognized as a legitimate form of fine art. ⁣ ⁣ Right on cue, artists such as @athipatra, @mickalenethomas and @joana_vasconcelos_official have deployed a variety of techniques - including quilting, embroidery, patchwork and printing - to customize the Lady Dior handbag. ⁣ ⁣ Here, @rinabanerjeestudio’s design featuring a “third eye” motif embroidered with beads, feathers and shells. ⁣ ⁣ “Art was very removed from fashion, and I think those two arenas have really not only come together, but are clearly talking to each other and supporting that kind of tradition of textiles, which is probably as ancient as the caveman,” Banerjee said.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio to see more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @jdiderich . . . . #wwdfashion #dior #diorladyart
