Lady Gaga Has Been Hospitalized for Severe Pain Ahead of Show in Rio


Lady Gaga shared with her fans that sadly she will no longer be able to perform at the Rock in Rio music festival in Brazil this weekend due to a recent hospitalization. She was taken to the hospital yesterday for “severe physical pain.” She wrote to her fans in an emotional Instagram post, revealing “it is not simply hip pain or wear and tear from the road, I am in severe pain.” (You might remember that in 2013, Lady Gaga cancelled some of her Born This Way Ball shows due to a hip injury, but it seems this is unrelated to that incident).

She went on to say “Brazil, I’m devastated that I’m not well enough to come to Rock In Rio. I would do anything 4 u but I have to take care of my body right now. I ask for your grace and understanding, and promise that I will come back and perform for you soon. ? I’m so sorry, and I love you so much. ?”

She also shared a more formal medical statement on her condition:

Lady Gaga takes her health seriously, and it’s clear she’s devastated that she won’t be able to make the show in Rio. She snapped a photo of her “Rio” tattoo and posted the meaning behind it on Instagram. “Remember years ago when I tattooed Rio on my neck, the tattoo was written by children in the favelas. ?? You hold a special place in my heart I love you.”

The festival, which starts today, will go on as planned and feature music from Maroon 5, Fergie, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Guns N’ Roses, but certainly Lady Gaga will be missed. Here’s hoping for a smooth and safe recovery.

Ashley Graham Calls Out Rihanna's Fenty Runway Show For Not Using Curvy Models

Ashley Graham has long been the face of size inclusivity on the runway, constantly pushing designers to do better and cast more plus-size (or curvy, as Graham prefers to be called) models in their shows. And though the fall 2017 shows saw a record 27 plus-size model appearances in New York alone—up from 16 the previous season and a mere six the one before—Ashley says there’s still lots of progress to be made.

In an interview with Yahoo! Beauty, Graham, who has her own lingerie brand, the Ashley Graham Collection, does not think that this year’s collections will be as progressive as last season’s. “It’s sad,” she says. “It’s funny to me, because I’ll look at runways and think, ‘I’d look so great in those clothes’ or ‘I know curvy women who would look so great in those clothes.’”

And she even called out a few names in particular. “I was at Fenty, and that was an amazing show. But how dope would it have been to see some curves on the runway? I think Baja East would be really cool to have curves on the runway. Philipp Plein would be really cool.” Though Rihanna has proved that she’s devoted to providing every woman with an option in the beauty industry—stores cannot keep the deepest shades of Fenty Beauty in stock just days after it dropped—Ashley does have a point that true diversity is not just limited to skin tone.

But it’s not all bad. There were the Christian Siriano and Prabal Gurung runway shows, both of which Graham and other plus-size or curvy models walked in, plus the Chromat show, which was one of the most diverse, with plus-size, transgender, and older models. Nevertheless, designers should all strive to include as many different skin tones, body types, hair textures, etc., as possible.

Rihanna Closed Her Fashion Week Show on the Back of a Motorbike, Because She's Rihanna


When has Rihanna ever played by the rules? She always finds a way to go above and beyond—but never too far—when it comes to her work, always delighting and surprising her adoring fans. Most recently, it was with the launch her long-awaited makeup line. Then, at the Spring 2018 show for her Fenty x Puma collection during New York Fashion Week (scheduled for the same week as the Fenty Beauty launch, by the way), Rihanna once again pulled out all the stops by hosting one of the most heart-pounding spectacles we’ve seen this season. No, really—she brought motocross to Fashion Week.

Instead of taking the traditional bow on the runway at the end of her show (as designers tend to do), Rihanna opted for a drive-by, cruising into the Park Avenue Armory in New York on the back of the motorbike, clad in new Spring 2018 Fenty, waving to the audience gathered in the bleachers. Take a look:

That wasn’t even the most unexpected part of the event: Rihanna’s Fenty show opened with motorbikes flying over the pink sand-filled runway. Then, model Slick Woods rode past the front row on the back of bike. Casual.

Then, after all of the models (which included Adriana Lima, Kaia Gerber, Joan Smalls, Stella Maxwell, Adwoa Aboah, among others) walked the runway, the motorbikes came back out with their aerial tricks for the finale.

At any other Fashion Week event, we may have had to pick up our jaws from the floor after watching this display—but this isn’t just any NYFW show. This is Fenty.

So, roll into this workweek with the gusto of a Bad Gal at the end of her latest collection debut. It’s what Rih would want.

Leslie Jones Reacting to the Christian Siriano Show Is the Best Thing You'll See All NYFW


Christian Siriano, with his elegant evening wear and inclusive approach to casting, is a designer worth cheering for. And his gowns, whether they’re on the red carpet or on the runway, definitely possess all the characteristics of a swoon-worthy garment: luxe fabrics, bold colors, over-the-top silhouettes. And although most guests at a show of his might keep their excitement (barely) contained, Leslie Jones wasn’t about that at Siriano’s Spring 2018 show during New York Fashion Week. In fact, she provided excited live commentary to the entire catwalk—and it’s already the best Fashion Month dispatch you’ll see this season.

Jones first connected with Siriano last summer, when the designer famously made her a custom gown for the Ghostbusters premiere after she tweeted that she couldn’t find a brand that would dress her for the red carpet. She’s continued to wear his work since, and is clearly a fan—just watch how she reacted to the models walking down the runway.

If you follow her Game of Thrones recaps, you already knew the comedian had some solid commentating skills. But at Siriano’s show it became clear that Jones needs to be doing this at basically any and every Fashion Week event.

The fashion crowd was really feeling Jones’ energy.

The excitement really is contagious, and it’s not something we often see from the front-row crowd. But we have to say: Jones’ unfiltered reactions to what was really a spectacular sight—a diverse group of models, dressed in their Spring 2018 best, working it for the photographers at the end of the runway—reminds us of what makes these fashion shows feel special.

But also, designers: Can you please reserve a front-row seat for Jones at any and all NYFW events? Thanks in advance.

Jennifer Lawrence Says Hurricanes Harvey And Irma Show 'Mother Nature's Wrath'


What’s going on with the intense weather systems pummeling the U.S.? Jennifer Lawrence has a theory. According to the actress, hurricanes like Harvey and Irma are the products of Mother Nature’s fury.

While promoting her upcoming film Mother!, Lawrence was asked by journalist Jackie Long for her thoughts on the many changes happening in the U.S. over the past year.

“It’s scary,” Lawrence replied, adding, “You know, it’s this new language that’s forming. I don’t even recognize it. It’s also scary to know that climate change is due to human activity, and we continue to ignore it.”

When asked more pointedly about the hurricanes, Lawrence said it was hard to watch the ongoing devastation, especially when promoting a movie titled Mother!.

“You’re watching these hurricanes now and … it’s hard not to feel Mother Nature’s rage [and] wrath,” she said.

“It’s really polarizing and upsetting,” the actress continued. “I’ve heard things and seen things on TV in my own country that devastate me and make me sick. It’s just really confusing.”

Long then asked Lawrence if she finds President Donald Trump confusing, to which Lawrence quickly answered, “I don’t find him confusing. I know exactly what he is.”

Lawrence has never been a shrinking violet when it comes to politics—in fact, the 27-year-old campaigned for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election. On Election Day, Lawrence and her boyfriend, Mother! Director Darren Aronofsky, used one-on-one FaceTime calls to bribe people at Duke University to go vote.

Oh—and she’s certainly never been shy about sharing her feelings on Trump. According to the Associated Press, she once said Trump’s election might just be “the end of the world.”

Is This Why Kendall Jenner Hasn't Posted About the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?

Kendall Jenner was notably absent from the string of models walking in and out of the castings for the 2017 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last week. And, when most took to their social feeds to announce that they’d be boarding the infamous pink jet to Shanghai, China, where the glittery catwalk will be happening this year, the 21-year-old remained mum. (Though, she continued to post selfies and ad campaigns on her profile.) Now, it’s being reported that there might be a contractual obligation that’s keeping her from returning to the program: According to TMZ (so, let’s wait a beat), Jenner’s contract with rival lingerie brand La Perla bars her from walking what would have been her third Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Apparently, she didn’t even audition, per a source close to the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

As an ambassador for La Perla, Jenner is reportedly obligated to appear in the brand’s runway shows and ad campaigns—something we image she gets hefty compensation for. She began working with the company last fall; she then closed its inaugural New York Fashion Week show back in February and wore a barely-there gown from its ready-to-wear collection to the 2017 Met Gala. With all this in mind, it would make sense for Jenner to skip out on a highly-publicized event for a different lingerie brand, however sparkly and exciting the program may be.

As with most major celeb news in 2017, speculation as to Jenner’s involvement with Victoria’s Secret stemmed out of her recent social media activity. For instance: Her latest Instagram posts are all snippets from La Perla’s Fall 2017 campaign, which, naturally, she fronted. The captions (“write to me ? @laperlalingerie #LaPerla_Ambassador” and “??? @laperlalingerie”) suggest she might not be too salty about missing out on a trip to Shanghai. Though, she’ll be missing out on quite a reunion on the pink catwalk: Both Bella and Gigi Hadid have confirmed their return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, while Karlie Kloss announced that, after a brief hiatus, she’ll be joining the Angels in China once again.

Neither Victoria’s Secret nor Jenner have officially confirmed whether the model will be sitting out the 2017 spectacle. (We’ve reached out to Victoria’s Secret for comment, and will update our story when we hear back.) Though we’re sad to see her leave the wing-clad family after only two shows, there are plenty of models—both fresh-faced and familiar—that have posted about this year’s show to get excited about. Plus, no matter which lingerie brand she’s aligned with, Jenner will always have someone on-call to support her and Kylie’s, um, unique sharing habits.
