Jennie Is The Newest Face Of Chanel’s 25 Handbag

Typa girl who got bag in same quality as Chanel! Blackpink star Jennie is the latest face of Chanel, fronting the brand’s new campaign for its chic Chanel 25 handbag. The style features a woven chain strap with a slouchy, quilted leather base, complete with wide side pockets and a gleaming gold-toned chain closure—naturally, cinched with the brand’s double C logo hardware. Jennie poses for David Sims in her 25 campaign, clutching and carrying the handbag in its black, blue denim, white, and metallic silver colorways. She’s notably the second star for the honor, following Dua Lipa‘s first 25 campaign with the style in a mix of confectionary pastels. Looks like there’s a new bag at the top of our spring wishlists!

Fashion Reacts To Loewe’s New Creative Director Appointments

This morning’s been a whirlwind for fashion, following Loewe‘s appointment of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez as its new creative directors. Though the announcement’s spread far and wide online, there’s an element of surprise that seems to be lacking—likely due to news of McCollough and Hernandez signing LVMH contracts at the year’s start, plus spreading speculation on Loewe’s next appointment at the same time. However, their new gig’s certainly garnered positivity from the fashion industry, with congratulatory comments across social media by Marc Jacobs, Erin Walsh, Aimee Song, Kristina O’Neill, Nathan Watson, Sherry Shi, and more insiders. McCollough and Hernandez also shared a sweet video montage of highlights from their time leading Proenza Schouler, which you can watch on Instagram.

Are Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Skipping The Met Gala?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Met Gala is nearly here, but Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds won’t be attending! The star couple—regularly spotted on the Met steps over the years—will be skipping the 2025 event, according to Us Weekly. The decision isn’t out of the ordinary for the pair, however; they’ve previously been absent for the event in 2015, 2016, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2024 since their debut at 2014’s Met Gala for “Charles James: Beyond Fashion.” Meanwhile, Lively attended the 2017 and 2018 Met Galas sans Reynolds, though Christian Louboutin was her chic date for the latter. Lively and Reynolds also served as Met Gala co-chairs for 2022’s “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” exhibit, cementing their position as Met regulars. However, which stars do show up on the red carpet on the first Monday in May remains to be seen!
