I was unfortunately locked out of my Facebook account for most of the week (long story), so I couldn't hop on here to break the news! As you've undoubtedly heard by now: All the rumors were true! Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are expecting.
While the initial announcement gave haute couture on a snowy winter day, with Rihanna bathed in vintage pink Chanel and cascading haute joaillerie Rosary chains...
... Rihanna's personal announcement was more in line with the Rihanna we all know and love. With the caption, "How the gang pulled up to #BlackHistoryMonth,” Queen Rih showcased her distended belly under a No Limits Records vintage jersey and $1,400 Prada gloves.

Over in TV land, HBO's reboot of Sex and the City got way more interesting, and ended with a finale chock full of the fashionable moments for which the series is known.

The fashion was on point and the story's getting good! I'm down for a 2nd season. While I was hating on the series at first, it warmed up quite a bit, and I can't wait to see what's next.
Lastly, in the Metaverse (?) fashion's most stylish and affluent couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have taken their divorce issues public. From Kanye showering new girlfriend Julia Fox and friends with multiple Hermes Birkin bags...
