Lenny Kravitz and Pamela Anderson danced to Virgil Abloh at the Chrome Hearts party. ⁣ ⁣ Jewelry brand Chrome Hearts celebrated its new eyewear capsule with Australian model Jordan Barrett at La Maison du Caviar in Paris. ⁣ ⁣ “There is mutual admiration between the Starks and myself based on our appreciation of the finer things in life,” said Abloh, who was relaxing after a busy week presenting his collections for Off-White and Louis Vuitton during Paris men’s week.⁣ ⁣ Some of those finer things are oversized park benches: The Chrome Hearts co-owner fell head over heels for the ones specially produced for the Louis Vuitton show on Friday and promptly bought two of them.⁣ ⁣ “I got a lot of interest for those benches,” said Abloh. “They became a commodity.” ⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ Report: @fleurfleurette ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #wwdeye⁣ #chromehearts⁣ #virgilabloh

@MaudeApatow is all grown up and starring in the controversial new Drake-produced HBO series, "Euphoria." ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Apatow, the daughter of Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow, entered the industry with comedy, playing the daughter of her real-life mother in “Knocked Up,” “This Is 40” and “Funny People,” all directed by her father.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “It’s not a teenage show,” Apatow says about "Euophoria." “It is tricky because it is really inappropriate, so it’s hard. I think it’s for late teens and up, but younger teenagers shouldn’t be watching it. But it is kind of the first time there’s been a teen show like this, which is really cool.” ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Report: @leighen ⁣⁣ 📸: @jgreenery ⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #wwdeye⁣ #maudeapatow ⁣ #Euporia⁣ #Drake⁣ #hbo

This aspiring influencer’s engagement seems to have turned into an extensive branding stunt. ⁣ ⁣ Marissa Fuchs’ wedding proposal has gone viral on Instagram, but not for the reasons she might have intended. ⁣ ⁣ The budding fashion influencer and director of brand partnerships at Goop set social media into a mini-frenzy over the elaborate scavenger hunt her boyfriend, Gabriel Grossman, set up to propose to and marry her, all taking place within the span of four days. While Fuchs’ growing follower base has been fixated on her extensive Instagram Stories documenting each step, her employer may not be happy with the stunt.⁣ ⁣ According to a source close to @Goop, company leadership was surprised by Fuchs’ extensive branding effort and had no involvement in the social media proposal or knowledge of it ahead of time. Fuchs has also removed her job title from her Instagram bio, replacing it with the hashtag #WhereIsGabe.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @laylailchi ⁣ 📸: @fashionambitionist

Darren Criss, Christian Louboutin and Charles Melton at the Christian Louboutin Loubicircus Party in Paris. ⁣ ⁣ The circus-themed party was to celebrate Christian Louboutin's spring 2020 collection at the Musée des Arts Forains. ⁣ ⁣ The museum holds a special place in his heart, he said, as his mother used to take him there as a child. ⁣ ⁣ The fairground community is known for its inclusivity and Louboutin’s spring collection debuted a Nudes line for men. Nudes launched for women in 2013 and the male iteration comprises four models: satin sneakers, loafers in studded suede, slides and espadrilles, all of which come in eight different shades to match a multitude of skin tones.⁣ ⁣ Inclusivity, said the designer, is “so important; it should be completely normal and natural, there is just no other possibility.”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: Stephanie Hirschmiller⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #wwdfashion⁣ #louboutin
