Celeb Style: T.I. wearing Air Yeezys
Whenever rapper T.I. hits the scene he’s going to be sharp in anything he wears. We often receive emails from readers asking about T.I.’s gear. T.I. attended Dwyane Wade’s 30th birthday bash at Setal Hotel in Miami Sunday night. According to style connoisseur, Allen over at Upscale Hype, the ‘Family Hustle’ star wore a black Oakland Raiders cap, Dita Mach-One sunglasses ($700), a black wax coated denim jacket, grey cargo pants, and a pair of Nike Air Yeezy black/pink sneakers, first released in 2009 with a retail price of $79. Now they retail for $215.
Fashion FAIL: Justin Bieber’s FAKE Louis Vuitton – How We Got the Story
About 4 years ago, Louis Vuitton announced its plans to discontinue the custom orders division of its luxury brand. This meant they would no longer accept custom orders for bags or clothing from celebrities or the public.
This news came at a time when Kanye West’s custom $6,300 LV backpack was all the rage on the blogs.
I wanted a smaller version of that backpack, but a rep at the Louis Vuitton corporate office assured me that LV would “probably” resume accepting custom orders “in the future” (this was 3 years ago).
So imagine my surprise when I saw the pictures of Justin Bieber wearing what appeared to be a custom made Louis Vuitton jacket to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week.
Celebs Out & About: T.I and Tiny
Rap mogul T.I., real name Clifford Harris, Jr., 30, and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, 35, were photographed leaving Prime Italian restaurant holding hands after dinner in Miami yesterday. T.I. and Tiny dressed casually in warm ups — T.I. in NIKE, and Tiny in Gucci from head to toe. Don’t they look cute together?

Louis Vuitton: Celebrities Abusing Our Brand is “Seriously Frowned Upon”
Luxury brand Louis Vuitton is quick to sue anyone who misuses their brand. LVMH legal department has filed lawsuits against major corporations such as Hyundai (for infringing on its brand in a car commercial); and Warner Brothers (for using a fake bag in the movie Hangover 2).
Now LV has set their sights on celebrities such as Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith for wearing clothing using the fake Louis Vuitton monogram.
Celebrities are known for hiring tailors to construct clothing using famous, but fake brand names. Now Louis Vuitton is cracking down on the brand thieves.
This week, Bieber, 18, wore a jacket to the Consumer Electronics show (CES) in Las Vegas that caught the eye of fashionistas who thought the jacket was custom made by the iconic brand. But a rep in the LV corporate office told us exclusively: “The jacket Bieber is wearing is a cheap knockoff of the Louis Vuitton brand.” The rep pointed out the red LEVI’s tag on the jacket pocket as proof that the jacket is a counterfeit.
In an exclusive statement Sandrarose.com, the LV rep said:
“Anything unauthentic, whether worn by a famous individual or not, is seriously frowned upon.”
Calls to Justin and Jaden’s reps were not immediately returned.
Celebs Out & About: Jennifer Hudson, Raven-Symone, Angela Simmons, Amber Rose
Rev. Run’s daughter Angela Simmons didn’t care how she looked when she took her dog for a walk in Beverly Hills, on Monday. The 24-year-old entrepreneur struggles to stay relevant after her reality TV show was cancelled.
Now that TV mogul Raven-Symoné, 26, has dropped all that weight she doesn’t care how she dresses either. The former child star who is worth millions wore red satin shorts with a black jacket and black hooker boots while on a stroll in Beverly Hills. That’s her mother, Lydia Pearman in the green khakis. I don’t know who the distinguished gentleman is with them, but he looks like a throwback from the psychedelic sixties. By the way, Lydia and Raven-Symoné’s dad, Chris, divorced while Raven was in her teens.

In Case You Missed It: Love & Hip Hop, Episode 8
Just to prove what a hoodrat she is, Jim Jones’ longtime girlfriend, Chrissy Lampkin, 40, instigates a fight with his 24-year-old manager, Yandy Smith, aka Don King. The actual fight is mostly a lot of pushing and shoving by the ladies with about a hundred crew members and extras between them. It was really nothing to write home about.
The main subject of interest on Twitter.com last night seemed to be what Yandy was wearing. In an effort to show that Yandy has at least an outward appearance of style, VH1 posted these photos of her on their blog today.
It’s hard to like Yandy because she comes off as a sneaky and untrustworthy bish. Physically, all her body parts are the right shape and size, and she dresses cute for the most part. But as soon as she opens her mouth, it’s hard to see her beauty shine through all that ugliness.
Do better, Yandy…
