word count: 3567

warning: angsty

A/n: THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WRITING HARRY. Niall make’s a appearance, Zayn is mentioned, let’s remember that this is fiction and it doesn’t reflect my personal opinions, but, like in every cheating story, we need villains… reader is in no way perfect, she is revengeful, she’s not meek, I decided to write her because I am tired of the nice, understanding, good girl, forgiving and moving on trope, I want someone who will be revengeful and mean and make him pay and regret for her broken heart…even if she still loves him. English is not my first language, so please be kind.

TRAITOR

Grammy Night- 2021, March 14

Her skin is glowing and she is more beautiful than ever.

Her hair shines under the lights, loose in waves to her hips with a diamond star tiara adorning it borrowed from Fred Leighton. Her dress is entirely hidden under a cloak embroidered in silver threads and small crystals, which she has no intention of taking off before her performance.

It's the first time the pop icon has been seen in public since the end of her more than eight-year long relationship was announced by her ex's representatives back in December.

Her team had remained silent, even when they were approached by members of the press for comment after Harry was photographed with his new love less than a month later. Her only comment to the whole debacle was a post on Twitter: {I guess I won our ‘I love you more’ game}, that fans took as a admission that Harry had left her for his director.

For all intents and purposes, Y/n seemed to have disappeared from the face of the Earth after their break-up.

Emails went unanswered, messages went unread and calls ignored. No one had found her in their London home, the penthouse in Tribecca, the mansion in Los Angeles or the Villa in Italy that the couple had acquired together during their years of relationship,— another thing they had to sort out— despite never having married, they had acquired assets together, properties, cars, works of art, Harry's lawyers were already starting to lose patience with Y/n's team not knowing the singer's whereabouts. He wanted to solve everything as quickly as possible to start the new chapter of his life.

Y/n posed for some photos on the red carpet—she looked more beautiful than ever, yes, but fans would comment on the photos afterwards, she didn't look radiant as usual, her smile was small and forced, and her eyes lacked the usual sparkle— she refused to do interviews or answer questions, soon being escorted by her manager into the event.

The singer had seven nominations, and after the critical success that her album had been, it was certain that at least some of the awards she would take home— to join the twelve she already had from her previous albums—, after her dramatic four-month disappearance, her performance was also highly anticipated, as was the reunion between her and Harry—after all, he had also received nominations and was expected to perform that night—.

Y/n walked around the event hall being escorted to her table at the front of the stage, stopping from moment to moment to be greeted and congratulated on the nominations, one person or another regretted the end of the relationship, 'you two made such a beautiful couple' she listened more than once that night.

Their table was between Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa’s table, and she had a perfect view of Harry’s a little further back. He was the opening performance, so she wouldn't see him for a while.

Y/n would only perform in the middle of the show, she was the artist who had received the most stage time— long enough to sing a three-song medley, never heard before music that would be released on EP that night—, it was her way of correcting the narrative and to let people know her side of the story. For far too long she allowed his team to control the narrative, control the damage to his image.

After all, TPWK is kind of hypocritical when you cheat on your girlfriend of almost a decade and leave her for another woman.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” her manager and friend questioned when they were both sitting away from the hearing field of the people around them. “You can keep the cloak on during the performance…”

“But then it wouldn't be revenge...” Y/n said back. “He took everything from me, I want him to suffer a little, I want to make it difficult, I want him to see wha I am taking from him...”

They were supposed to be planning a wedding.

The beginning of the rest of their lives together.

They had been together since she was sixteen years old, she had practically 'grown up' with him, H was as much a part of her identity as she was his. They knew each other better than anyone, all the secrets, the personality traits. They were one of those couples that didn't even need words to communicate, that was the level that they knew each other.

He took her happiness away from her.

And why? Because he was lonely? Because he couldn’t be by himself for two months?

They usually planned their schedules around each other so they could be together, the longest period they had away was when he was still in the band, and Y/n embarked on her first solo tour. But now they were getting into acting, and Covid got in the way of filming schedules, her movie was pushed, and then they are filming at the same time in two different countries.

There was also some sourness over the fact that she got the role in the Elvis biopic and he didn’t.

The ceremony began. Y/n barely paid attention until Harry walked onto the stage, handsome in a black leather suit, shirtless and with a green boa. She smiled slightly, knowing there would be cameras on her, and held back the urge to cry—in vain, as her eyes were watering, and by the end of the performance when she gracefully clapped, tears had run down her face—.

How could she not cry when he was on stage, singing a song about her, as if it didn’t affected him after he'd broken her heart?

She had already won Video of the Year at the premiere ceremony, beating Beyonce, Harry and Drake, and lost Best Duo to Ariana and Lady Gaga.

Y/n was ushered backstage to prepare for her performance just as Harry took the stage to receive his first-ever Grammy—her second loss that night—.

As she walked, an assistant helped her remove her tiara and replace it with a more over the top headdress, a large halo with flowers and a delicate red veil that fell over her eyes.

The singer dropped the cape, showing off the dress she would wear in the performance.

A masterpiece in fabric. Sheer so you could see her skin through the fabric, the delicate tattoos accumulated over the years, the delicate crystal flowery embroidery covering all the necessary parts, and the colorful embroidery of a bleeding red heart between her breasts.

Her belly of almost six months of pregnancy delicately accentuated and proudly showing for the word to see.

Y/n truly looked half a goddess.

The woman smiled when she saw her longtime friend waiting for her near the stage stairs, guitar in hand.

“Thank you for agreeing to this.” She greeted him with kisses on the cheeks as the stagehands prepared her.

“And miss my chance to perform at the Grammys?” Niall joked with a smile, then got serious. “He's my friend but you're a sister to me, and he hurt you, of course I'll stand by your side.” Y/n never had a big family, her whole life had been her and her mother, and her mother had passed away in 2019 after two years of battling cancer. When Harry left her, she lost the last family she had left. Hearing Niall call her sister made her emotional, no matter how many times she heard it.

She didn't know what would become of her if it wasn't for Niall and Zayn in the last few months. Zayn, Gigi and Khai had been her support system when everything seemed to fall apart. It was Zayn who called Niall, who dropped everything to be with her.

Niall and Zayn had helped her write her heartbroken songs, her version of the breakup that still generated tabloid gossip. The songs were more acoustic than her usual, and normally she would play the guitar herself, but her belly wouldn't allow it, so she asked Niall, who knew the compositions as well as she did. She needed the emotional support of his presence to keep from falling apart—other than that she knew the internet would go crazy seeing her accompanied by another member of her ex's former band—.

“Thank you so much Ni.” She thanked him with a sincere smile, squeezing his hand. “You and Z, I don't know what I would do without you two.”

He gave her an understanding smile and helped her onto the stage.

Y/n's stage was simpler than Taylor's cabin in the woods had been, but her intention was to keep things simple and delicate so as not to distract from the songs.

The stage was covered in flowers, a garden of wilted sunflowers, there was a high stool for Niall to sit on, and a white grand piano, the backing singers and her band were already in place. Niall sat in his place, while Y/n positioned herself behind the door she would enter through.

She heard Noah Trevor announce her performance on the main stage, and the voice in the earpiece cued the band to start playing the chords of I Burned LA Down.

Y/n opened the door just before singing, the spotlight focused on her, she walked through the stage in between the flowers as the background changed to the Positano summer sunset.

The same sunset under which Harry had proposed her in 2019.

She hooked the microphone to the stand, eyes closed as she sang to try to contain the emotion, one hand on her stomach where the only good things left of their relationship was kicking her hard on the ribs.

You can’t make a God of somebody,

Who isn’t even half of a half decent man

Her band started to transition to Traitor, she took a deep breath, knowing she probably wouldn't be able to hold back the tears now, the next two songs in the medley are deeply emotional ones to her.

Green guilty eyes and little white lies Yeah,

I played dumb but I always knew

That you'd talk to her, maybe did even worse

I kept quiet so I could keep you

She was accusing him in every way except calling out his name, everyone knew who she meant, and she imagined everyone's shock.

There was no need for a guessing game as in the songs of so many other singers.

Y/n had only dated Harry since she was 16, he had green eyes, the timeline of his new relationship was already suspicious to many fans, but so far Y/n hadn't spoken about it and everyone accepted the version given by the team of the new couple.

The dancers entered through the same door that she had entered, during the chorus, they danced among themselves and around the singer, interacting with her at one time or another as she could not properly dance.

The background was slowly changing to the starry sky of Palm Springs, the same beautiful winter night sky from the day that he broke up with her—because he was starting to grow feelings for the director ten years older than he was, and he wanted to explore those feelings—.

It took you two days

To go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat

But you're still a traitor

Y/n didn't even realize when she started crying.

Her voice expressed all the pain and suffering she felt at that moment, and there, present and at home watching, thousands of hearts broke alongside with hers.

The more observant would notice that she still had her engagement ring on her finger, as well as Harry's 'S' ring —which he had given her a few years ago, representing the fact that he intended to one day make her his wife— and she played with the rings over her bulging belly.

When she's sleeping in the bed we made

Don't you dare forget about the way

You betrayed me

'Cause I know that you'll never feel sorry

For the way I hurt, yeah

Dramatically, Y/n intended to return the rings to him during the ceremony, the famous 17-carats engagement ring and his gold ‘S’ ring would be delivered to his table as soon as she was called on stage to receive an award—because everyone knew she would receive it— her latest album had broken all records, and she was the female artist with the longest-running song on the Billboard 100 for 78 weeks, the same song that had won Video of the Year for.

The lights dimmed as the song transitioned to Enough for You, the dancers left the stage, followed by the background singers and part of the band. Under the spotlight were just Y/n, Niall and Jay, her guitarist.

I knew from the start this is exactly how you'd leave

You found someone more exciting

The next second, you were gone

And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong

Y/n looked off into nothing while singing, it wasn't like there was an audience, the only people watching was Taylor Swift, who had performed shortly before and was returning to the main stage, and Dua Lipa, who would perform later, and was on the way to her stage.

She had learned of the closeness between Harry and Olivia through Glenne Azoff back in November, but chose to believe Harry when he visited her in Australia and said there was nothing between them. How foolish she was. The next time she saw him, she was excited to inform him about the possibility pregnancy they'd been dreaming of, but before she could say anything, he broke up with her.

He said all his reasons. And Y/n had never felt so worthless before, so not good enough.

And maybe I'm just not as interesting

As the girls you had before

But God, you couldn't have cared less

About someone who loved you more

I'd say you broke my heart

But you broke much more than that

Now I don't want your sympathy

I just want myself back

She'd given herself 100% in a relationship for nearly nine years, she'd loved him with every bit of her broken heart, only for him to dump her for a woman he'd met in two months.

Don't you think I loved you too much to be used and discarded?

Don't you think I loved you too much to think I deserve nothing?

Her voice failed amidst the tears, though she kept singing the song until the end, it was safe to say there weren't many dry eyes.

You say I'm never satisfied

But that's not me, it's you

'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough

But I don't think anything could ever be enough

For you, enough for you, oh-oh

No, nothing's enough for you

The stage lights dimmed with the last chords played by Niall, and the camera turned to Noah Travor, as stagehands approached to help the singer with the equipment strapped to the back of her dress. Niall dropped the guitar leaning it against the bench he had been sitting on, and approached his friend hugging her while she finished crying in his arms.

“You were fantastic.” Niall praised her stroking her back. “Breathtaking, I don't think I've ever seen such an emotional performance.”

“I'll never be able to thank you enough for everything...” She said against his shoulder.

They were interrupted by Y/n's assistant warning her that she had to change clothes and get back to her table, she only had twenty minutes until the next category she was nominated for was announced. She said goodbye to Niall with kisses on the cheek, promising to see him later at the after party in her house.

The assistant helped her change her hair ornaments on the way to the dressing room, her dress zip was already halfway down when she reached the door, and her support staff made quick work of helping her get dressed. Her second dress was worthy of a movie star, with crystal embroidery, and fringe, tight, again showing off the shapes that Y/n had gained with pregnancy —she was one of those lucky women who had only grown in her belly, from the back she didn't even look pregnant—. She glowed under the artificial lights, the crystals shimmering rainbow colors whenever she moved.

“Y/n...” Lisa, Y/n's assistant for over five years called her. The singer turned, her eyes quickly falling on the jewelry box the older woman had in her hand. The young woman sighed, taking one last look at the rings she had worn more than any other piece of jewelry in her life, she had put them on for the first time in months that night, and it was as if she had never taken them off. She slipped them through her fingers for the last time, depositing them inside the box offered by Lisa. “I'll deliver it myself, as soon as you're on stage.”

The singer just nodded, following the stage assistant back to her table. She was greeted by Taylor Swift on the way back, who praised her performance, the two briefly took off their masks to speak, and Y/n was sure there would be photos online of the moment "Harry Styles' two famous exes hug at the Grammys. After Y/n Y/l/n debut songs about the breakup with the British singer."

Y/n had barely sat down when the night's second General Category was announced. The video with the Song of the Year nominees played on the screen, and then Noah opened the envelope with the winner's name.

“Wow, this is tense...” He said into the microphone, holding up the open envelope. “And the Grammy Award Winner for Song of the Year is... Boys Will Be Boys* by Y/n Y/l/n.”

Y/n stood up to the applause, hugging her manager, and walking to the stage in calm steps concentrating on not falling off her high heels, her music playing in the background as Noah offered her his hand on the steps.

“Thank you.” She thanked him before going to the microphone, and taking the award in her hands, feeling the weight in both hands. She looked at the people seated and smiled. “Golly, I honestly didn't prepare a speech, my manager, I love you Lia, said and I quote: You're against Queen Bey, Billie, HER, TS, Dua and Julia...don't even bother...” Y/n waited for the affectionate laughter to subside before continuing. “I would like to dedicate this award to all of my fantastic team, to the fans, without you I wouldn't be here today, to my fellow nominees, just being nominated alongside you would have already been an immense honor, I would also like to dedicate this award to all the artists who wrote and released spectacular songs in the year gone by and weren't nominated tonight, an award, a nomination, doesn't diminish your worth. Thank you.”

Y/n was hugged by Lia and Lisa as soon as she left the stage.

“He looked like a kicked puppy when I handed him de box.” Lisa commented in the singer's ear when the two hugged. “He's completely stunned, and Jeff looked stressed.”

Knowing Jeff as she did, he was probably thinking of ways to reverse the negative publicity they were getting.

Lia showed the cell phone to the singer.

By all estimates, Y/n's EP could break the record for most streams in the first 24 hours held by Taylor Swift's 'Foklore', while 'Traitor' and 'Good Enough' were competing against each other for the song with the most number of streams in the first 24 hrs. People were listening and commenting, sharing their reactions on Tik Tok and Instagram.

It was all trending on Twitter, the Harries were disappointed in their idol, and Y/n's fans had even started a boycott campaign on Twitter canceling Holivia and their movie. If until now things were contained with their blurry narrative, after the release of the EP and the singer's performance at the Grammys, it had turned into a truly shit show. Her pregnancy had also blindsided the world, most agreed that the baby was Harry’s, with only a few questioning the paternity.

She gave Lisa her phone back.

They went back to their table, Y/n still had three more nominations.

“Jeffrey texted me.” Lia commented, already typing a reply. “They want a meeting.” The older woman didn’t take her eyes off her cell phone, typing furiously on the device. They knew lawyers would be included in the meeting, Lia was used to Jeff's more aggressive MO.

Y/n had never had to deal with any of that, because until that moment she had been Harry's ‘Lovie’, and they were in same team, now she would be on the opposite side of the table.

“We’re ready.” Y/n said without taking her eyes off the stage, clapping at the right moments. “The lawyers have already prepared all the documents.”

Y/n intended to make him pay for her broken heart.

She glanced quickly at Lia. “Just make sure the meeting is after the interview airs.” Her manager just nodded.

The singer ended the night with three more awards, beating Harry’s Fine Line for Best Vocal Pop Album, and taking the other two awards in the General category, being the biggest winner of the night.

She and I have formed such a strong bond over the years, and I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received from her and the whole team since the very beginning of my career. For her to give me the honour of co-designing this collection and letting all my summer inspirations go wild has been a dream. I am so very proud of this collection and cannot wait to debut it in Cannes.”

Lipa, the 2023 Met Gala c0-chair, has been one of Versace’s dolls since the early days of her singing career.

The 'Barbie' Movie Trailer Effect: Surge In Fashion Searches Worldwide

Recently, the release of the Barbie movie trailer and star-studded cast posters has caused a significant surge in online searches for "Barbie fashion" globally. Within hours of the trailer's release, online searches for "Barbie fashion" surged by 106%, according to a Google search data analysis conducted by fashion site Flaunt Your Fashion. The study also revealed that the number of searches for "Barbie fashion" exceeded the average by more than double in just one day. This interest surge highlights the iconic fashion doll's continued relevance and excitement surrounding the upcoming film. In addition to "Barbie fashion," searches for "Barbie style" have risen by 142% worldwide. Searches for "pink clothes," which are Barbie's signature color, have increased by a staggering 174% since the trailer's release. Overnight, the searches for "blonde hair dye" increased by 157%, hinting that even Barbie's iconic blonde hair did not escape the trend. The Barbie movie, which features Margot Robbie in the lead role and is directed by the talented Greta Gerwig, is set to hit theaters in July of this year. The movie has many stars, including Ryan Gosling, Dua Lipa, America Ferrara, and many more, making it clear why fans eagerly anticipate its release. These search data insights only add to the excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the upcoming Barbie movie. Watch the trailer below: The Missing Superstar Of Greta Gerwig's Barbie However, one superstar is missing from this film, and that is none other than the incomparable Nicki Minaj! We all know Nicki as the fearless rapper, singer, and songwriter who's never afraid to push the boundaries. Let's not forget her killer fashion sense that always leaves us wanting more. She has been an integral part of the legendary "Barbie" brand for many years. People have appropriately nicknamed her a real-life "Barbie doll" due to her glamorous personality. Nicki often incorporates Barbie-inspired elements into her fashion sense, including pink clothing, bold makeup, and blonde wigs. She has even been spotted wearing clothing featuring Barbie's iconic logo! In 2011, Mattel collaborated with the "Starships" rapper to create a unique Barbie doll that resembled her with pink hair and an outfit inspired by her album, "Pink Friday." The doll was later auctioned off, and the proceeds were donated to charity, raising a staggering $15,000. Fast forward to 2018, when Nicki Minaj released her music video "Barbie Dreams," where various Barbie dolls surrounded her. The video showcased her signature fashion style and highlighted her close relationship with the brand. The Rise Of "Barbiecore" Fashion In 2022 Similarly, Barbie-inspired fashion was in Vogue in 2022 with undeniable charm. Since the release of images from Greta Gerwig's upcoming film featuring Margot Robbie as a cheerful Barbie, the fashion industry has been entranced by the lovely fashion trend known as "Barbiecore." As a result, several celebrities have taken notice of this new trend. During the premiere of Machine Gun Kelly's documentary "Life in Pink," he and Megan Fox made a bold fashion statement. The couple looked like real-life Barbie and Ken with their matching pink hair and stunning outfits by London-based designers. Additionally, Megan wore a hot pink mini dress created by Nensi Dojaka, the winner of the 2021 LVMH Prize. On the other hand, MGK donned a crop top designed by the up-and-coming fashion designer Chet Lo. Another celebrity who has embraced the "Barbiecore" trend in 2022 is singer Lizzo. During an episode of First We Feast's viral YouTube show, Hot Ones, Lizzo wore a vibrant pink cheetah-print top and matching bomber jacket. Not only that, even her hairstyle, which was hot pink and waved, blended perfectly with her gold and highlighter pink eyeshadow. View this post on Instagram A post shared by First We Feast (@firstwefeast) Insights From A Flaunt Your Fashion Spokesperson According to a spokesperson for Flaunt Your Fashion, “Barbie has been a staple of popular culture for decades with her instantly recognizable look. The newly released trailer and movie posters have caused a buzz online with fans eagerly awaiting the movie, which is set to be released in the Summer. As these findings show, the excitement has also transcended into the fashion space, with many fans wanting to emulate Barbie's iconic style, indicating that pink tones, cowboy boots, and bright patterns are set to make a big comeback this Summer."

✰What is Y2k Fashion? ✰

Fashion has always worked in cycles, what was popular 50 - 40 years ago will suddenly become popular again. Recently this turnover cycle in trends has become smaller and smaller. Trends are now repeating on a 20-year loop (Friedman, 2022), sometimes in an even shorter period. Thanks to the fashion community on Tik Tok, Y2k inspired fashion has had a resurgence over the past couple of years. 2021 saw this style become the biggest trend (Kim, 2021) of the year. So many staples of the era such as low rise pants, denim, pastels, and everything bedazzled have made a re-appearance into the fashion world, all of which were all popular in early 2000s fashion style. Brittany and Justin’s double denim look is a great example of the wild fashion of the time.

Gen Z are the ones who have really run with the aesthetic and re-popularised it. Many celebrities have also adopted the aesthetic into their own personal style. The leading celebrities being Olivia Rodrigo and Dua Lipa. I think there is a real sense of nostalgia within this generation for the aesthetic. Gen Z long for the fun fashion of the past, that was colourful and quirky. Fashion through out the late 2010’s was all about neutrals and a clean and simple aesthetic, the Y2k aesthetic allowed for a more playful and fun fashion style.

Y2k style dominated the spring 2022 fashion collections from a lot of different fashion houses. Versace’s spring 2022 (Phelps, 2021) collection heavily reflected the Y2k aesthetic with neon prints, glitter and glam. Dua Lipa also made her debut in the modelling world in this show. As an icon of the Y2k resurgence I felt it was a perfect fit to have her walk the show.

Gen Z is leading the resurgence and a lot of their influences come from their childhood idols / toys / tv. Bratz and Barbies have been a huge inspiration point, with the chunky, platform heel (Ying Hyde, 2022)or boot coming into trend. This references the Bratz shoes. Fashion should be something that is fun and playful and the reference to childhood toys accomplishes this.

I think that the Y2k fashion resurgence is a fun and playful way for fashion to gain some more personality again. Fashion over the past few years became minimal, leaning towards a business casual style. During the pandemic Gen Z reached back to their childhood for fashion inspiration. I think that fashion should be an expression of yourself and if you want to wear fun and bright colours and put some wacky hair clips in your hair then why not! Y2k fashion also isn’t just for Gen Z anyone should be able to dress in any aesthetic that they feel represents them!

Burna Boy to perform at 2024 Grammys

Burna Boy, the 'African Giant' crooner, is expected to make history as the first African artiste to perform on the Grammy Awards stage

Nigerian singer Damini Ogulu, known as Burna Boy, will perform at the 2024 Grammys on 4 February at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, US.

Burna Boy was added to the performer lineup, joining artistes like Luke Combs, Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Olivia Rodrigo.

CBS announced Burna Boy’s participation during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s NFL football game between Kansas City and Buffalo.

The announcement follows a similar trend from the previous week when performers were revealed during the fourth quarter of the AFC wild-card game. Notably, CBS has been the broadcaster for the Grammys since 1973.

Additional performers will be announced in the coming days and weeks, as reported on the Grammy Award website.

Burna Boy was nominated in four categories in the 2024 Grammy Award– Best Global Music Album (I Told Them), the inaugural Best African Music Performance (City Boys), Best Global Music Performance (Alone), and Best Melodic Rap Performance (Sittin’ On Top Of The World).

The 32-year-old won Best Global Music Album for Twice As Tall at the Premiere Ceremony of the 63rd Grammy Awards in 2021.

Burna Boy, the ‘African Giant’ crooner, is expected to make history as the first African artiste to perform on the Grammy Awards stage.

Burna Boy

Last December, the Port Harcourt-born and seven other Nigerian artistes were nominated for the forthcoming MOBO Awards, an annual celebration recognising excellence in “music of black origin” in the UK.

He was nominated for the Best African Music Act. Also, Burna Boy became the most streamed Sub-Saharan African artiste on YouTube in 2023.

He dethroned Tanzania’s music icon, Naseeb Issack, known as Diamond Platnumz, who holds the second position with 2.37 billion streams.

Furthermore, he won the Best International Act for a fourth time at the 2023 BET Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, U.S.

Also at the Headies Award in the US, Burna Boy’s Last Last won Afrobeats Single of the Year and Song of the Year.

A little background on the Ink Detroit Tupac Back From The Dead Wings Jersey Shirt Additionally,I will love this humble orb and pearl combo Legend has it the original inspiration came from a time when Westwood took a hiatus from her store in London after the final breakup with Malcolm McLaren and she spent some time in Italy. She was working on a royalty theme collection where she imagined what prince now King Charles might wear in his spare time, along with all the insignia of Britain à la the orb and the crown. As well as the royals, she was also inspired by astronomy magazines with photos of the galaxy and the planet Saturn and its ring system. So, to funk it up, Westwood added the satellite ring to the orb. It was sent out into the world in the 1987 fall show and has seen many revivals since then.

We have the Ink Detroit Tupac Back From The Dead Wings Jersey Shirt Additionally,I will love this supermodel and Gen Z superstar influencer Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, and company to thank for this comeback. This obsession with the Vivienne Westwood orb pearl necklace started towards the end of 2021 and has been reported heavily in those months. However, with the passing of Westwood in December, the resurgence of all things Westwood related is back and stronger than ever. Whether it’s a new buy, a thrift buy, or an inspired buy, long live the orb, we say! —Dora Fung, contributing editor A few weekends ago, we saw the fashion crowd at the Pyramids for Dior Men’s show. Whilst we all swooned over the boys and their fashion, we also noticed the bling that was sparkling on everyone from jewelry icon Lewis Hamilton to Dior’s designer Kim Jones. Inspired by the necklaces we saw, we noticed that TikTok, the men of Instagram, and Justin Bieber ’s fun pearls validated our findings. Our boy Timothée Chalamet has also been sporting not only some great looks on the red carpet recently, but his jewelry of choice has also been pretty on point.

Era solo cuestión de tiempo antes de que Versace, conocido por sus fuertes lazos con las celebridades, aprovechara el kpop.

La casa de moda de lujo nombró a Hyunjin del grupo de chicos de Stray Kids como su nuevo embajador global de la marca, dando su primer impulso al fenómeno musical de Corea del Sur que se está apoderando del mundo de la moda y el lujo.

Entre sus primeros compromisos en el cargo, Hyunjin, que cuenta con 72,3 millones de seguidores entre varias redes sociales, encabezará la campaña Versace Holiday 2023, compuesta de imágenes y videos, que será lanzada en noviembre.

"Estoy encantada de que Hyunjin se una a la familia Versace. Estoy constantemente inspirada por nuevas voces que definen la cultura en todo el mundo y, para mí, Hyunjin tiene una gran y nueva energía y creatividad. Me encanta su confianza y libertad de expresión. Es un verdadero hombre de Versace"

dijo Donatella Versace, directora creativa de la marca.

Sin duda, la diseñadora ha sido fundamental para forjar lazos con muchas celebridades a lo largo de los años, ya que recientemente abrió su taller creativo a Dua Lipa para la colección de cruceros codiseñada "La Vacanza" que se presentó en Cannes el pasado mes de mayo.

"Estoy muy emocionado de empezar mi viaje de Versace como embajador mundial y de crear hermosos momentos juntos"

dijo Hyunjin.

"Me siento a la vez inspirado y honrado de desempeñar un papel en el legado de la casa, y que Donatella crea que tengo la actitud de Versace. Estoy lleno de anticipación y no puedo esperar para experimentar la sinergia artística con ella"

agregó.

Como anticipo al anuncio del jueves, Hyunjin asistió al desfile "La Vacanza" de Versace junto al rapero estadounidense Future, la actriz Simone Ashley y al cantante Troye Sivan, entre otros invitados, así como a la inauguración oficial de una tienda pop-up de Versace en Seúl a principios de este mes.

En su papel, se une a la cantante, actriz y modelo china Chris Lee, quien encabezó la campaña Versace Icons junto a Anne Hathaway.

Este viernes, Stray Kids encabezará la apertura del festival Lollapalooza de tres días en París. El grupo de kpop de ocho integrantes incluye a Bangchan, Lee Know, Changbin, Han, Felix, Seungmin e I.N, además de Hyunjin, bailarín, rapero y vocalista.

El grupo de chicos se formó en 2017 a través del programa homónimo de JYP Entertainment. Originalmente un grupo de nueve miembros, Woojin dejó el grupo por motivos personales en octubre del 2019.

Strat Kids lanzó su primer disco, "Mixtape", en enero de 2018. El grupo álbum de estudio del grupo, "Go Live", se lanzó en 2020 y se convirtió en el primero con certificado de platino. En 2021, lanzaron su segundo álbum de estudio, y el primero con un millón de ventas, "Noeasy", antes de firmar con Republic Records para la promoción en los EE.UU. en 2022, gracias al cual su EP "Maxident" vendió tres millones de copias.

A principios del mes de junio, el grupo lanzó su tercer álbum de estudio, "5-Star", y pronto se embarcarán en su gira "5-Star Dome Tour", que empezará en Fukuoka, Japón, el 16 de agosto y aterrizará en Corea del Sur. Además del festival de música Lollapalooza en París, se espera que Stray Kids se presente en el Global Citizen Festival en Nueva York en septiembre.

ITB STIKOM Bali Ajak Ratusan Karyawannya Tour Dua Negara

BALIPORTALNEWS.COM, DENPASAR - Setelah terkendala Pandemi Covid-19 selama 2 tahun, ITB STIKOM Bali kembali mengadakan tour ke luar negeri sebagai bentuk apresiasi kepada para karyawannya. Wakil Rektor II Bidang Keuangan dan Sumber Daya ITB STIKOM Bali, Dr. Putri Srinadi, S.E., M.M.Kom., menerangkan, sebelumnya setiap 3 tahun sekali, ITB STIKOM Bali mengadakan tour ke luar negeri tetapi sejak tahun 2019-2021 dunia dilanda Covid-19 sehingga program tour ke luar negeri tidak bisa dilaksanakan. “Nah karena situasi sudah membaik, maka tahun 2023 ini tepatnya pada 28 April hingga 2 Mei kami mengajak karyawan dan seluruh pengurus Yayasan Widya Dharma Shanti Denpasar sebagai induk ITB STIKOM Bali untuk tour ke Malaysia dan Thailand selama 5 hari," kata Putri Srinadi dalam keterangan persnya di Kampus Pusat ITB STIKOM Bali, Renon, Denpasar, Jumat (28/4/2023) sebelum bertolak ke Bandara Ngurah Rai. Menurut Putri Srinadi, sesuai aturan internal ITB STIKOM Bali, setiap karyawan tetap yang sudah mengabdi selama 7 tahun, mulai dari satpam hingga level paling atas berhak mendapat kesempatan tour ke luar negeri. “Dari 250-an pegawai tetap, separuhnya kami ajak jalan-jalan ke luar negeri,” kata Putri Srinadi. Dia menyebut, sesuai jadwal dari pihak travel yang mengatur tour dua negara ini, rute perjalanan rombongan ITB STIKOM Bali adalah berangkat dari Bali pada 28 April menggunakan pesawat ke Kuala Lumpur. Di sana, setelah mengunjungi beberapa obyek wisata seperti Photo stop Twin Tower, Dataran Pahlawan, I Love KL Icon, besoknya 29 April rombongan meneruskan perjalanan ke Penang mengunjung Gurney Drive, Penang 3D Street Art dan Jembatan Pulau Pinang (jembtan tol dua arah yang menghubungkan Bayan Lepas di Pulau Penang dan Seberang Prai di daratan Malaysia). Lalu hari itu juga rombongan meneruskan perjalanan ke Border Hat Yai (Thailand) dan menginap di Hat Yai. Tanggal 30 April, di Negeri Gajah Putih ini rombongan mengunjungi obyek wisata terkenal seperti Pantai Samila, Patung Mermaid, Masjid Agung Songkha, Patung Budha tidur, Chang Puak Elepant Camp, Nora Plaza dan lain-lain lalu kembali ke Kuala Lumpur pada 1 Mei. Rombongan meneruskan kunjungan ke Istana Negara Malaysia, Pusat Pemerintahan Putrajaya, dan River of Live. Terakhir, pada 2 Mei rombongan ITB STIKOM Bali setelah mengunjungi Genting Hightland dan Batu Cave, selanjutnya menuju KLIA untuk meninggalkan Kuala Lumpur menuju Bali. Rektor ITB STIKOM Bali, Dr. Dadang Hermawan menambahkan, sejak STMIK STIKOM Bali berdiri pada 10 Agustus 2002 hingga transformasi menjadi ITB STIKOM Bali pada tahun 2019, pihaknya sudah 3 kali mengajak karyawan dan pengurus Yayasan WDS Denpasar jalan–jalan ke luar negeri dan kali ini adalah yang keempat. Program ini adalah bentuk penghargaan terhadap para karyawan tetap yang sudah mengabdi minimal 7 tahun, tanpa membeda-bedakkan posisinya. “Dulu kami punya kebijakkan, kalau tidak ikut tour, kami ganti dengan uang tunai Rp3 juta. Eh ternyata banyak juga lebih memilih uang. Padahal tujuan kami adalah membuka wawasan karyawan tentang dunia luar sekaligus refreshing. Karena itu, kali ini kami ganti kebijakkannya, yang tidak ikut tour tidak dapat diganti dengan uang tunai supaya semuanya ikut, tapi ternyata masih ada juga tidak bisa ikut karena kesibukannya,” pungkas Dadang Hermawan.(tis/bpn) Read the full article

SG Lewis Is Confronting Love's Dichotomies SG Lewis tried to slow down — and failed.The singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer is taking 2023 to leap ahead with an entirely new sense of self, an understanding of life's dualities and, yes, brand new music.Sam “SG” Lewis is no stranger to the dance floor. Over the past few years, SG has supplied us with some of the biggest records the dance-pop scene has to offer: “Hurting” with Aluna, “Better” with Clairo, as well as the massive “Impact” with Robyn and Channel Tres and his very own “Chemicals,” both from his 2021 futuristic dance debut times.That’s not even to mention the collaborative ouevre he’s carved out with established icons and bonafide superstars like Sir Elton John, Dua Lipa, Victoria Monét, Mabel, Jessie Ware, MØ and, most recently, Tove Lo on two standouts from her most recent record, Dirt Femme. He’s a man of taste and he’s here to stay for the long haul.Related | Tove Lo: No Sleep, Just RendezvousJust a few months after dropping times, SG wasted no time jumping back into the studio to work on a follow-up — out of boredom, mostly, he says. The result is the unlocking of a new level of duality for SG on his second full-length album, AudioLust & HigherLove, out January 27.“The album is clearly split into two worlds,” SG observes. “AudioLust is the darker, lusty, infatuated, short-lived and ego-driven version of love. The second half represents a much deeper, actualized and fulfilled version of love.”The immersive record finds him digging deeper into these themes all while treating us to a higher level of timeless pop ecstasy. Read on for PAPER's conversation with SG Lewis about his most introspective record yet, support from the LGBTQ+ community and the collaborations he's aching to make happen.The turnaround for this album happened pretty quickly for you following times. What made you jump right back in?I always had the intention to take time off, I wanted to go traveling and absorb some new experiences. I handed in the last album and took like a week off and then I was bored. I thought, I better start a new record. I launched straight into it.Did the title AudioLust & HigherLove come to you before or during the creation process?The last album sort of felt like an outward-facing observational album about other people. times was about taking inspiration from a time period and other people. During the pandemic, I felt this forced sense of introspection and isolation. I spent a lot of time thinking about my past relationships and relationships with other people around me.When I started to write music [for this album], I found it falling into two categories — two different ways to kind of approach love and relationships. One being more lust-driven, with a rush and a toxic version of a relationship. Then there is the more fulfilled and actualized version. As I started making the music I found that those two different feelings could be evoked within a soundscape, so I started building these two yin-and-yang worlds through the music.This album and the last album are very different. If I was making times part two I would’ve needed more time and distance to formulate inspiration. I really felt like exploring a different part of myself as an artist with this record, and I did just that.There’s definitely a lot more of you on this record. Was this a purposeful choice?It was a marriage of two things. One is that my song “Chemicals” ended up being one of the most popular tracks off of times. That was a song I was singing on and writing from a more personal standpoint. That gave me the confidence and the green light to explore myself more as a singer-songwriter. That combined with the album largely being made during the pandemic landed me here. When I collaborate with people I very much like to get in the same room rather than sending stuff back and forth. Obviously, that wasn’t a reality that was possible during the pandemic, so it ended up being like, Well, it’s just me here. Someone has to sing these songs.I’m sure you learned a lot more about creating through that.Oh, for sure. I feel like I know a lot more about myself having made this album, like whether or not I choose to be as present on the vocals going forward. There will be projects in my life where it’s completely my own vocals and then there will be projects where there will be none of my own vocals. I think I know what rabbit hole to jump into now. I’ve learned the capabilities and restrictions of myself as a singer and songwriter.times was like production speed dating. This was much more of a deep dive. Instead of working with 30 different people in 30 days, it was 30 days of me working with the same people. It was a test of seeing how deep we can go and how much further into that rabbit hole we can go.That rabbit hole seems to have led you to creating songs that are a little longer than we’re used to getting in the era of TikTok. There’s a careful and non-rushed approach to a lot of these songs, like on “Oh Laura” and “Epiphany.” A lot of space for sure. “Oh Laura” is different to the rest of the album in a lot of senses. There’s a lot of playing with space and lack of sound, in a way that a lot of my favorite ‘80s pop music does.Between the front half and second half of the album there’s a lot of exploring. While the front half is exploring the toxic rush of emotions with a relationship, there’s still pleasure in that version, in the same way that there’s still toxicity in the second half of the album’s theme. In “Another Life” and “Fever Dreamer” especially I wanted to explore this. If it was all just bad then you wouldn’t find yourself in that position. There has to be something that draws you into that kind of version. Nothing’s perfect — so the record carries that theme throughout.You didn’t completely go solo on this record. We still get some of that classic SG magic collaboration, like with Tove Lo for instance. How is it working with her? We really just became fast friends. She’s an unbelievable person and artist. She’s someone who is in full control of her voice and her pen. It’s so much easier to work together when you really connect.It’s super clear how well you two work together. Fans are already craving more from you two. When’s the Tove x SG album dropping? We know the fans are asking for it. We both have been touring a lot and schedules have been crazy, but we both love working together and I’m absolutely sure this is not the end of our collaborative partnership. I’m sure there can be more in time.Another standout collaboration on this new record is “Fever Dreamer” with Channel Tres and Charlotte Day Wilson. Tell us a little bit of how that one came to be. Charlotte is amazing and obviously I've worked with Channel before. I’ve been a fan of Charlotte for a minute, she’s super talented. I love that she writes, produces and sings. She really is kind of like a Swiss Army knife of musical talent. We had a verse and pre-chorus done in the studio with Charlotte and then she had to go. I was working on the track the next day and Channel was working in the same studio and stuck his head in. He was like, “Oh, what are you working on?” I had a whiteboard, I told him I was finishing the album. He said, “What, I’m not on the album?” Obviously, I’d have Channel on every track. He improves basically every record he’s on. I played him what we had of “Fever Dreamer” and he was like, “Cool, done, let’s do it. His delivery is amazing and oozes confidence. If you’ve seen him live, he’s an unbelievable performer. I’m happy to have hooked up with him again.I love hearing those magical studio situations where things just naturally work out like that. Major! I’m kind of always working on stuff. With the Tove stuff, I had the idea of “Call On Me” mostly done. I had the rough instrumental. Then it’s only when you get in the room and start working on it that the rest of the idea formulates. There’s something about the chemistry of being in the room with somebody as opposed to just sending things back and forth.That’s so evident in the work you've done with other artists — specifically with Dua Lipa and Jessie Ware, who are adored by gay fan bases. Are you aware of the impact that you’ve had among the gay community who support you and your work?The support from gay audiences has been one of the most rewarding things about releasing music for me. The strength and support that they have shown me and my music is amazing. With times, I made an album that was influenced by disco music. Disco music has always been about creating safe spaces for marginalized communities to celebrate their identities. So for me to be able to create those similar safe spaces in a modern context where marginalized gay communities can come celebrate themselves — that, for me, is one of the most fulfilling things I can do with my music.The other thing with gay audiences is that they study pop music in the same way I do. We have that same shared passion for pop music. They care about who's on the production credits, who's written it, even who the management companies are. They’re so dialed-in — we share that kind of music nerd mentality. That eye for detail for music. I think that’s something we have a bond over as well. Without the support of gay audiences, I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am right now.We absolutely love to hear it — thank you for acknowledging. Is there any pop queen you’d love to add to your list of dream collaborations? I honestly have so many. The very least I can do with the support I’ve had with gay audiences is to make it my mission to complete that list. There’s a couple that I'm circling very closely. I would definitely say Charli XCX is one of them. Kylie Minogue I would love to as well. She put a couple of my songs on a playlist she made for Spotify. I’m trying not to pester, but I’ve been on social media just like waving from a distance. I’m sure given the right place and time, it could happen. I’m ready. There’s also Nelly Furtado — I’m circling for sure.You're on this non-stop streak of music-making magic. Is that the trajectory?I haven’t taken a moment to pause, mostly because I find it quite difficult to pause. I thought after this new album campaign that I would feel like taking a break, but I already know what I want to do next. As long as I know what I want to do next and as long as it remains fun, then I don’t see any reason to slow down. If there comes a moment where I feel like I’m making music because I feel like I have to, then that’ll be when I stop. I scratched that itch of wanting to be more introspective with this record, so now I’m like, It’s time to go produce some music with some pop stars and make some escapist music.The fun part of my job is that I get to wear many different hats. If I get tired of myself and I get tired of hearing my own singing voice then I get to go and put on a different hat. Stay tuned to see what comes next.Photos by Lauretta Suter https://www.papermag.com/sg-lewis-audiolust-higherlove-2659299042.html

My Top Posts in 2022:

Aftershockshipping Playlist

After reading Chapter 40 of @weekend-whip‘s Born to Be a 21st Century Ninja, I... managed to talk myself into making a playlist for Aftershock (Cole x Jesse)... and Ren (weekend-whip) wanted to see it, so... here it is, I guess.

Just a heads up, I don’t normally share playlists, but I just needed to showcase the vibe these two together give me. It’s mostly inspired by the events of the chapter itself & what could’ve been logically playing during Tox’s set at Rockshot, but also just general vibes outside of that setting, though some may feel like they are from a specific perspective (like, you can feel which song is Cole or Jesse), or it is completely unrelated but meshed well into the vibes so I thought “screw it, throw it in”. I’m also thinking that this could be expanded on in future, but let’s keep it “small” for now.

So, in no particular but alphabetical order because I can’t curate effectively, enjoy:

Adore - Cashmere Cat ft. Ariana Grande

All For You - Rynx ft. Kiesza

Animal - Kesha

Atic - Astrid S

Audio - LSD (Labrinth, Sia & Diplo)

Beautiful Now - Zedd ft. Jon Bellion

Blue - Bad Computer

Boom Clap - Charli XCX

Break My Heart - Dua Lipa

Quick Legacyverse Headcanon: NEVER challenge Cole to a Just Dance competition.

That man will destroy you.

Oh? You thought you could throw him off with an Extreme routine that you recently just learned? He's already got Megastar on that.

Your only chance of surviving... is to just play the game with him on casual terms. He'll still dance circles around you, but you'll make out alive with your pride intact, I promise you.
