OHMYGOSSIP — Victoria Beckham’s new handbag collection was designed to be practical.
The 48-year-old singer-turned-designer has just launched her new leather goods range for her eponymous label, and while she admits it’s not “the sexiest thing to say”, it was important to her that they were made to be used as opposed to just looking stylish.
She explained: “I often design with myself in mind, I’m very particular and detail-oriented when designing ready-to-wear, so I wanted to apply the same approach to creating a leather goods line.
“Although it’s not the sexiest thing to say, practicality was hugely important for me and has been considered throughout the design process. The handbags I use have to work for my everyday life and fit everything I need into it, so that was a great starting point for all the designs in the collection.”
On why now was the right time to move into the handbags market, she told WWD: “Launching into the leather goods category is a really important step for the brand and with our debut in Paris this coming season, we felt it was the right moment.
“Category forms the next stage of our strategic vision and having established the right positioning for fashion, it is now the time to develop a corresponding handbag business.”
The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, has approved 11 new labels to join the schedule for the spring 2023 women’s ready-to-wear shows and Beckham’s label is among those joining Paris Fashion Week.
The fashion event runs from September 26 to October 4.
This will be Beckham’s first return to the runway since the COVID-19 pandemic.
She last held a live show for her luxury brand in London in February 2020, before moving to online shows in September 2020 and February 2021.
Last year, the designer held an off-calendar showroom presentation in Paris.
And Victoria admitted she could not put on a London Fashion Week show in September 2021 because she could not afford it.
She said: “Let’s hope we’re out of this pandemic by September.
“I do believe the best way to see fashion is a fashion show, to see the clothes, to hear the clothes, see models in the clothes, it’s hard to find a way that can beat that. We’ve tried the best we can to show that through digital but it’s difficult.
“Will I be doing a show in September? I don’t know. If I’m being really honest, the pandemic has really affected my business.
“Will I be in a position to spend all that money on a show? I don’t know, probably not. It will probably still be digital.
“I’d love to but I’m just being optimistic and realistic at the same time. It has affected business. I’m lucky to still have a business, but doing fashion shows costs a lot of money.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ciara has become the latest celebrity to launch a skincare brand.
The ‘One, Two Step’ hitmaker has dropped the inclusive On A Mission (OAM) line, a venture “years in the making”.
The products – priced from $28 and $62 – include the Vitamin C Hydrating Cleanser, Vitamin C Brightening Pads, Vitamin C Brightening Serum, Vitamin C Eye Revitalizer and Vitamin C Radiance Moisturizer.
The new brand prides itself on inclusivity, with the items tested on 96 women with different skin tones.
Speaking to Allure, the 36-year-old star said: “I would say this is truly a missing piece in skin care today.
“These products are for all skin types, so that’s why we wanted to do [the clinical testing] with every skin tone.”
Ciara joins a highly saturated market, with the likes of Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Hailey Bieber and Alicia Keys among those to have their own skincare ranges.
Despite everything she’s already achieved in the music business, Ciara remains as ambitious as ever.
She shared: “I had a vision for things that were important to me to check off on my dream list of things to accomplish. This was one of them.”
Ciara burst on the music scene as a teenager and she’s subsequently enjoyed significant success in other fields, including writing a book, launching a fragrance and even creating her own rum company.
She added: “I feel kind of funny going on about the list of things I’m doing. But it all goes to the power of believing in yourself. I always say I’m a woman of ambition on a mission.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Maddie Ziegler started wearing makeup when she was six.
The 19-year-old dancer-and-actress – who has just launched her second collaboration with popular beauty brand Morphe – started experimenting with makeup from an early age, and while she is now confident in her ability, she’s always learning new tricks of the trade.
She said: “I think I can now confidently do my makeup. I started doing my own makeup when I was six years old. So I have continued to grow in terms of my makeup skills, but I love it so much. There’s no rules to makeup, so I think that’s why I also love it so much because you have so much freedom to play and sometimes I think [about] how they say art is subjective. I think that’s the same with makeup. I think that it’s up to your own interpretation and you can do whatever makes you happy.”
The ‘Fallout’ star shared her everyday makeup routine and explained that she uses products that “enhance” her natural beauty.
She told Teen Vogue: “I would say my everyday makeup, I use my brow pen from this collection. I love to use that just to kind of give like a feathery brow and maybe I’ll throw some clear brow gel in there. I’ll use that same brow product to enhance my freckles and my little beauty marks which I love because sometimes those get hidden. And then obviously I use sunscreen and usually cream products cream blush.”
Maddie also admitted she can’t go anywhere without her entire skincare, essential makeup items and sweatpants.
She said: “Oh my gosh, definitely all my skincare that’s like the one thing that will make my suitcase heavy. I would definitely say pairs of sweatpants. I need to bring sweatpants with me everywhere I go. And then obviously like my go-to makeup products because you never know what can happen. It’s always the times I don’t bring my makeup that I actually end up needing it. So that’s something that I’ve done now. I always bring it just in case so I’ll bring the staple things like my brow product or blush and I’ll bring mascara and lip liner.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lopez is a “big fan” of sunglasses.
The 52-year-old pop star has accumulated “too many pairs” to count over the years but has launched a new line of “vintage” inspired sunglasses with fashion giant Dolce and Gabbana.
She said: “I’m a big fan of sunglasses. I’ve accumulated too many pairs to count over the years. This new Dolce and Gabbana eyewear collection features my favourite classic cat-eye and shield shapes that have vintage inspiration.”
The ‘Jenny from the Block’ hitmaker – who tied the knot with Hollywood star Ben Affleck earlier this year after the pair rekindled their relationship back in 2021 – went on to explain that she “cannot live” without a pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses as well as an “iconic” handbag that will go with every outfit.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: “I cannot live without a pair of black Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses, of course, a great pair of well-fitting jeans, a blazer or coat, an iconic bag that can go with every outfit, and a statement piece of jewellery.”
J. Lo went on to explain that she has “always been” a fan of Dolce and Gabbana and that their collections are “full of personality.”
She added: “I’ve always been a fan of Dolce and Gabbana’s timeless elegance. The collections are full of personality.”
The ‘On the Floor’ songstress previously admitted that sunglasses have always been an “important” part of her wardrobe because she is able to “change her mood” just by putting on a pair.
She said: “Sunglasses have always been an important part of my wardrobe. I love how easy it is to change my mood by just putting on a pair of sunglasses. Self-expression and confidence are so important to me, and that powerful feeling you get when you put on a great pair of sunglasses is part of that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Avril Lavigne has launched a fashion collection based on her debut album ‘Let Go.’
The 37-year-old star – who shot to fame as a pop punk musician back in the early 2000s with hits such as ‘Complicated’ and ‘Sk8er Boi’ – was known for her incorporating gothic glam and skater clothes into her fashion and has now released a clothing collection with “raw energy” brand KILLSTAR to celebrate the 2002 album she is still “incredibly proud of.”
She told Cosmopolitan: “My music and fashion has changed a bit since I released ‘Let Go’. Looking back on that album, I’m still incredibly proud and thankful for all the amazing things it’s done for my life and career. In terms of how I’ve evolved, I still write what I feel in that moment. Sonically, it can vary, but the process hasn’t changed that much. The only difference is I was writing from the perspective of a teenager, and now I’m writing from the perspective of a woman.”
The KILLSTAR collection features a range of clothes emblazoned with skeleton design prints – available on dresses, tops and two-pieces – as well as matching underwear sets and a suitcase in the shape of a skull.
The ‘I’m With You’ singer previously explained that she has “always” been glam rock with a “twist of goth” and believes that her natural style is emulated within the new collection.
She said: “I’ve always been glam, rock ‘n’ roll with a twist of goth — all depending on my mood. “I love going from Dickies and Dr. Martens to Versace and Vivienne Westwood. I think it shows itself in the KILLSTAR collection because it is edgy and elegant all at the same time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stella McCartney has “challenged” herself to be “responsible” with her new skincare line.
The 50-year-old fashion designer – who is the daughter of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda – has teamed up with luxury brand LVMH to create skincare range STELLA and has “transferred the key principles” of veganism and cruelty-free production from her fashion house over to her new venture.
She said: “At every stage I have challenged myself to make the most responsible decisions, that ranges from the mode of transportation (maximising sea-freight over air-freight), to banning single use products through the innovative refill system we implemented. I’ve also transferred key principles from my fashion house to my skincare line. It was important to me that the brand and the products needed to have my vegan and cruelty free principles at its heart. I’m proud to say that we have been accredited by the Cruelty-Free International Leaping Bunny Programme and the Vegan Society. That’s not to say it’s been easy, nor that the products are perfect.”
Stella has launched three skincare products as part of the brand in the form of a reset cleanser, a restorative cream, and a serum and admitted that she had been on an “explorative journey” in creating them but insisted she would “not use anything else” now.
She told GlamourUK: “It was quite the explorative journey to create these products – it was three years in the making and we banned almost 2000 ingredients where we considered the production or extraction process to be polluting. I also didn’t want to compromise on results. Our clinical results are really impressive, and I wouldn’t use anything else on my skin now!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlize Theron associates fragrances with “nostalgia.”
The 47-year-old actress – who has adoptive daughters Jackson, ten, and August, seven – explained that while wearing perfume is the “smallest act” of indulgence, it can have a “huge effect” on others and can create “treasured moments” with her children.
She said: “The thing I like most about fragrance is that it’s the smallest act that you can do for yourself, but it has a huge effect. I feel like fragrance is definitely a mood enhancer – it’s just so easy and I definitely take full advantage of it. For me it’s also associated with such nostalgia, like when my children say things like, ‘that smells like you, mum’. Smell is so connected to those very, very treasured moments, so I have a deep love for it. ”
The ‘Monster’ star went on to claim that smell in general is something people don’t “value” smell as much as they should and while she does not have a perfume “ritual”, she always has a bottle ready in her home.
She told British Vogue: “I think it’s maybe one of those things we don’t value as much as we should. I don’t have a ritual with scent, but I do always have fragrance out in my room or bathroom. I walk past a bottle and think, ”oh, let me just spray a bit of this.’
Meanwhile, the Oscar-winning star added that as she gets older she does not worry about wearing a “tonne of powder” on her face and being able to”look natural” on film has changed her approach to her red carpet look.
She said: “I think the older I’ve become the more I’m about not matte-ing your face down and wearing a tonne of powder. I think having actors look natural is something that’s so celebrated in film that I’ve kind of brought that into my [approach to the] red carpet and even editorials that I shoot – not wanting to look like [I have] a matte face. I think a lot of us are so hypersensitive about not wanting to look like sweaty pigs! [But] I don’t think it’s very flattering on women, especially as we get older. So you don’t have to use a powder.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stella McCartney thinks skincare is a “need.”
The 50-year-old fashion designer – who is the daughter of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda – has created her own skincare range with luxury brand LVMH after being unable to find a product she “genuinely believed” in.
She said: “For me, skincare isn’t superficial, it’s a need. I couldn’t find what I genuinely believed to be the right products for my belief system that also had the quality, what I want to deliver on my skin, the experience and the sensuality – so I created it. I wanted to provide something that doesn’t exist.”
The new range features a cleanser, a moisturiser, and a serum, and Stella – who initially launched a skincare line back in the early 2000s under the name of Stella CARE – admitted she always wanted to have another go at creating beauty products because she finds “caring for herself” at the age of 50 one of the “hardest” things to do.
She told ELLE UK: “I always wanted to do it again, I didn’t ever want to find myself in a situation where I had to come at something again; I wanted the original products to progress into what we see today, but it sadly didn’t for a multitude of reasons. What I did want to continue with the new products is the idea of caring for yourself. One of the hardest things I’m trying to do right now, at 50 years old, is to care for myself. ”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashton Kutcher is “getting marathon ready” in a new partnership with Peloton.
The 44-year-old star – who founded anti-human trafficking Thorn back in 2012 with ex-wife Demi Moore – has teamed up with the health and fitness company to launch motivational series ‘Our Future Selves’ and could be seen in purple gym gear with a whit baseball hat as he chatted to trainer Becs Gentry in a bid to get ready to run a marathon for his charity.
He said: “Running this marathon is all about raising funds and awareness for my non-profit [organisation] Thorn. Protecting kids from sexual abuse is something I’ve been working on for a decade and much like a marathon, we will only reach our goal through dedication, endurance, and discipline. Having Peloton instructors get me marathon ready has been incredible and creating this series has been a blast. I’ve talked to brilliant actors, musicians, writers, athletes, and doctors about what keeps them going and their “why.”
Each class features one of Peloton’s inspirational instructors coaching Ashton and a roster of special guests such as Natalie Portman, Kenny Chesney, Chris Paul, and Kim Kardashian over the course of 16 episodes.
The ‘What Happens in Vegas’ actor can be heard in a trailer for the series explaining that he aims to “understand” what motivates others as he prepares to interview his fellow stars as part of the fitness series.
He said: “Ever heard the phrase ‘It’s a marathon, not a sprint?’ Well, the team at my non-profit Thorn are running that marathon. With the help of some Peloton instructors, and some of our amazing friends we’re gonna reach our goal and get a little bit closer to understanding why we do what we do. Welcome to ‘Our Future Selves’. We got this.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dua Lipa will sing George Michael’s ‘Freedom’ for the new YSL Beauté Libre campaign.
The 27-year-old singer returns as the face of the fragrance for its latest campaign shot by photographer Tyler Mitchell with a short film from music video director Jenn Nkiru.
YSL Beauté chief executive officer Stephan Bezy told WWD: “We worked on this a few years ago, and when you see the way the world is going today freedom has never been so much at risk. The aspiration for freedom has never been so high, so it’s a very aspirational name, a very aspirational concept. There is very strong desire for freedom.”
He added that the brand chose Dua “because she’s fierce, she’s bold, she’s free, and she’s a smart, powerful, strong, independent woman”.
Libre le Parfum is the fourth scent in the range, following the eau de parfum, eau de parfum intense and eau de toilett.
Speaking about the success of Libre, he said: “It’s quite spectacular, because some fragrances sometimes are very regional — they work well in one market but not in another — and this is very successful in the U.S. market, the European market and the Asian market as well.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dinah Jane has admitted that her Fifth Harmony fashion choices were poor.
The 25-year-old singer reacted to a TikTok video slamming the girl group’s styling by sharing a clip of herself covering her face in embarrassment.
She captioned the video: “Hurt with the throwback, but very much valid.”
The clip from TikTok user Olivia Layne also singled out Dinah’s choices specifically, saying: “Out of all of them, it feels like Dinah was the one that was always left out of the group chat. Her and Ally [Brooke] were always [wearing] my least favourite dresses of the group, but Dinah’s outfits specifically were the most consistently off.”
Dinah agreed with the criticism and shared a video of herself laughing.
Fifth Harmony – comprised of Dinah, Ally, Normani, Lauren Jauregui and Camilla Cabello — formed in 2012 during the second season of America’s ‘The X Factor’.
Cabello quit the group in December 2016 and the band went on indefinite hiatus in 2018.
They said at the time: “After six years going hard, nonstop, we realised that in order to stay authentic to ourselves and to you, we do need to take some time for now to go on a hiatus from Fifth Harmony in order to pursue solo endeavours.
“We are all very excited and grateful to be able to take this time to learn and grow creatively and really find out footing as individuals. In doing this we are allowing ourselves to gain new experiences, strengths and perspectives that we can bring back to our Fifth Harmony family.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alessandro Michele’s Gucci Exquisite campaign was inspired by Stanley Kubrick.
The 49-year-old Gucci creative director was inspired by the legendary director for the autumn/winter 2022 collection, which features a collaboration with Adidas, and he compared it to filming a movie.
He told Vogue.co.uk: “The strange marriage between the codes of Adidas and Gucci was a chemical experiment, in the most ambiguous way. So, I approached the campaign similarly. I had the intention of placing the collection in Kubrick’s iconic scenes, where my clothes exist organically in his world, but feel completely alien at the same time – it’s my tribute to cinema and to one of its brightest maestros.
“There was always a challenge to face, and bringing a lot of people together from different specialisms and parts of the world was hard. One of the most difficult obstacles to overcome was getting access to pieces from the actual movies, because not everything was preserved properly, so we had to recreate certain pieces quickly, but with precision. Finding the right faces for each scene took a lot of time – it was almost like working on an actual movie.”
The sets for the campaign replicate scenes from Kubrick’s movies including ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ [1968], ‘A Clockwork Orange’ [1971], ‘Barry Lyndon’ [1975], ‘The Shining’ [1980], and ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ [1999].
Alessandro said: “Getting to collaborate with all of the incredible people, and especially on the costumes with Milena Canonero, who’s even more obsessive than me, was a pleasure, because she has a history of working with Kubrick, which is incredible. For a project like this to come alive, you need to work with the very best.
“But the outdoor shots inspired by ‘Barry Lyndon’, where we placed the white Victorian-inspired dress with the Adidas stripes naturally mixed into a group of people dressed in clothes from that era – that was one of my favourite moments.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gina Rodriguez is the face of Anne Klein’s fall collection.
The former ‘Jane the Virgin’, 38, star will front the campaign for the fashion brand’s autumn pret-a-porter range – which includes clothes, shoes, accessories and jewellery – which will be available for purchase at fashion outlets such as department stores Macy’s, Dillard’s, Belk and online retailers like Nordstrom, Amazon and the brand’s own website, Anneklein.com.
In addition to this, Gina selected the winning t-shirt design of the ‘The Anne Klein’s Scholar Design Competition’ – which seeks to contribute to the Fashion Scholarship Fund – by Valeria Nicola, a recipient of the same scholarship and a recent alumni of Savannah College of Art and Design, which will make its debut in the October edition of T, The New York Time Style Magazine and can be bought exclusively at Macy’s and on Anne Klein’s site.
The ‘Someone Great’ star – who is married to actor Joe Locicero , 36 – was chosen for because of her track record of being a “leader” and a “strong advocate” for diversity in Hollywood.
Effy Zinkin, the chief operating officer of Anne Klein’s parent company, WHP Global told WWD: “Gina exemplifies the Anne Klein brand ethos as she is a leader in her industry and a strong advocate for her community. We are honored to have her as the face of our new campaign and as our partner to help further the brand’s mission of encouraging, empowering and engaging women through content and causes that create and foster community.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chase Sui Wonders loves Madewell.
The ‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’ star – who is the niece of fashion designer Anna Sui – purchased a pair of jeans from the “aspirational store” with her first ever payday reapings along with an electric skateboard.
The 26-year-old actress told Refinery29: “When I got my first paycheck from my first job, I made two purchases: One was these Madewell jeans that I still have to this day, and the other was an electric skateboard. Madewell was always an aspirational store for me when I was growing up. I love its emphasis on being natural, kind of like rolling out of bed and being the most beautiful and natural version of yourself. The clothes that make me the happiest are when I’m comfortable and feeling sexy without even trying.”
Chase detailed that things being “functional” are really important to her when opting what to buy.
She said: “The key [to shopping is] if it’s functional and enhances your day-to-day. Those are the products I want to keep around me at all times. I feel that all these items are total enhancers.”
Earlier this month, the model – who is currently dating actor Charles Melton, 31 – revealed that the “copious, copious” levels of caffeine kept her red carpet ready during the press tour for the horror movie that also stars Amandla Stenberg and Rachel Sennott.
Chase said: “During all the press [for this film], I had one latte, one chai latte, and one shot of espresso,” she says. “I’ll probably have an energy drink to cap it off. Anyone who has to be around me when I haven’t been in a meditative state for at least five minutes is unlucky.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Paige Thorne called her six-figure deal with Forever Unique “a real pinch me moment”.
The former ‘Love Island’ star – who is currently still ‘coupled up’ with returning bombshell Adam Collard, 27 – was over the moon to sign on the dotted line to debut a fashion collection in time for the Christmas season.
The 24-year-old paramedic told the Daily Mail: “This is a real pinch me moment, I can’t believe I have my very own collection with a brand I’ve loved for years!
Paige – who caught the eye of the brand’s founder and ‘The Real Housewives of Cheshire’ star Seema Malhotra, 49 – adores how they create long-lasting “wardrobe staples”.
She said: “I love that Forever Unique offers wardrobe staples that last a lifetime.
“I wanted my collection to be a considered purchase, using high quality materials and taking me out of my comfort zone.
Seema said of the deal: “We are beyond excited to announce Paige as our latest celebrity signing!
“We were drawn to Paige immediately in the villa and love what she stands for as a strong, independent and driven female.”
She added: “She knows what she wants and that is at the core of our ethos as a brand. The new collection has been designed to make a statement and I can’t wait for you all to see it.”
