Most social media users are well-versed in Hot Girl Summer. Coined by rapper Megan Thee Stallion in May 2019, the term is synonymous with someone who minds their business, does what makes them happy, and doesn’t care what others think. The feel-good phrase was widely popular in summer 2019, but as the season came to a close, it led to the birth of a new viral meme: Christian Girl Autumn. The meme was started by user @lasagnabby, named Gio, who wrote in a since-deleted tweet, “Hot Girl Summer is coming to an end, get ready for Christian Girl Autumn ??.” Attached to the tweet was a picture of two white women with very similar autumnal-style outfits — think skinny jeans, oversized cardigans/sweaters, infinity scarves — and long, perfectly curled hair. Gio later told Buzzfeed they found the photo after Googling “cute church outfits” and “all scarf outfits.” The tweet went viral, and it was met with responses that mocked the photo. Users called the women “basic,” with some even saying the friends appeared like the types of people who would be culturally ignorant, homophobic, and mean to service workers. Soon, the meme found its way back to the feeds of the two women, Southern bloggers and influencers Emily Gemma (@emilyanngemma) and Caitlin Covington (@cmcoving). They responded, telling Buzzfeed that, while they are Christian, they’re not intolerant or judgemental people. Then, they played along with joke. Covington took to Twitter to give better options of photos to use in the meme.
By welcoming the joke, Covington and Gemma were embraced across social media. Covington confirmed that she supports LGBTQ+ communities, and has since reshared and donated to a GoFundMe made by the creator of the meme, Gio, who is seeking gender-affirming health care. Because the meme was wholeheartedly embraced by its subjects, it has resurfaced every year, and is even being used unironically by those who simply want to enjoy the coziness of the fall season.
The Christian Girl Autumn aesthetic is widely recognizable. It usually consists of wide brim hats, oversized wool sweaters, comfy scarves and over-the-knee suede or leather boots. Though at first considered basic, the style has since been embraced by the internet for capturing the joyous comfort of fall-weather dressing. And even more, being “basic” is increasingly becoming cool, with the growing resurgence of items that were once considered “cheugy”. For instance, 2010s wardrobe staples like Crocs and Ugg boots have now re-entered mainstream fashion consciousness. Uggs, once central to the archetype of being basic, have been adopted and embraced by the highly coveted brand Telfar, who recently launched a new collaboration with the footwear brand that elevates the ethos of Ugg coziness. Crocs has also seen a revitalization of its brand image, through collaborations with high-fashion houses like Balenciaga and Christopher Kane. Both Crocs and Ugg boots are now being embraced in the closets of many, as opposed to being shunned.
At its core, shaming something for “being basic” is rooted in the idea that it’s inherently uncool for a lot of women to like something. By pushing back on the binary of what is “good” or “bad” in fashion, Christian Girl Autumn, much like Hot Girl Summer, is about doing what makes you happy. As we move into the era of embracing things that were once considered “uncool,” nothing seems more fitting.

Too much Zendaya in your newsfeed recently? Well, too bad, because we’re convinced that there is no such thing. To be completely fair, if it were any other celebrity we would surely be over it by now. After all, it’s nearly impossible to find a corner of the fashion world that the 25-year-old actor hasn’t reached in 2021. But Zendaya has somehow been able to overcome the negative side effects that often accompany overexposure and remains a fresh and exciting face even after extensive coverage — which is why it came as no surprise to learn that the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) will be honouring her with the title of 2021 Fashion Icon at the upcoming awards show. Despite the pandemic delaying many of this year’s red carpet events, Zendaya started out the season strong with a Cher inspired Valentino gown which she wore to the Oscars back in April. At the BET Awards she once again turned heads in an archival dress that was previously worn by Beyoncé in 2003. And, finally, this year’s festival circuit has seen Zendaya and her co-star Timothée Chalamet in a series of stunning red carpet looks in promotion of their upcoming sci-fi film Dune. The CFDA also announced that Anya Taylor-Joy will receive the Face of the Year award. Taylor-Joy has also had a standout year after her role as Beth Harmon in Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit netted her several acting awards and nominations. Both Zendaya and Taylor-Joy rely on the incredibly talented Law Roach for styling. And while Zendaya and Taylor-Joy were absent from the 2021 Met Gala, Law Roach was far from quiet as he styled 10 of the night’s best looks — including his own. This year’s CFDA Fashion Awards will take place on Nov. 10 in New York City. The awards show will return in-person this year for the first time since 2019. The post Zendaya is the CFDA Awards Fashion Icon for 2021, Obviously appeared first on FASHION Magazine. Zendaya is the CFDA Awards Fashion Icon for 2021, Obviously published first on https://borboletabags.tumblr.com/ via Tumblr Zendaya is the CFDA Awards Fashion Icon for 2021, Obviously If you’re one of the brave souls attempting to purchase a holiday Nap Dress from Hill House during tomorrow’s launch, then good luck — you’re going to need it. Founder and CEO Nell Diamond’s prairie girl-meets-Bridgerton brand has become one of the most coveted clothing items to ever come out of social media. Initially launched in 2016 with a focus on bedding, everything changed for the NYC label in August 2019 with the introduction of the Nap Dress. The premise is simple: a cotton dress made up of a tiered layered skirt, smocked bodice and ruffled sleeves, available in various romantic patterns and colours. But therein lies the beauty. A comfortable dress that allows its wearer to go bra-free while still looking put together was just what the pandemic ordered. Add in the 2020 release of Bridgerton and the cottagecore escapism that the Nap Dress so effortlessly conveys and the brand quickly dominated the fashion industry during a time when many others were struggling to clothe people now locked indoors. “I wanted to design something that allowed me to feel like myself during a 3 a.m. feeding, when I’m so bone-tired and have four thousand emails, and I’m thinking about taxes and my laundry and my to-do list and the Nap Dress came to be as a solution to a problem inherent in my own life,” writes Diamond on hillhousehome.com. The epitome of “you snooze you lose,” the limited-edition dress drops sell out within minutes, with Forbes reporting the company sold US$1 million worth of inventory in less than 30 minutes last spring. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Wow! This is the Squid Game of online shopping.” And while that’s indeed true, in a refreshingly positive turn of events, the competition to score a Nap Dress has blossomed into a supportive community. One of the most popular platforms for aficionados to share their love for Hill House is the Facebook group Nap Dress Nation & Grandmillenial Inspiration. With over 2,000 members, the page is a collage of women from around the world sharing photos of their ensembles, asking advice on which styles they should purchase and links to look-a-like versions at a fraction of the near US$200 price point. But Hill House’s own social media has also done an excellent job translating the brand’s essence into an enthusiastic gathering of people who share the same aesthetic. Diamond regularly hosts Q&As on Instagram stories where shoppers are encouraged to ask about the new collection and share the dreamy imagery synonymous with the label. Madeleine Taylor, the owner of multiple Nap Dresses from Toronto, says the sense of community and brand loyalty to Hill House is what initially attracted her. “I started following Hill House’s Instagram account a while ago, and it was just clear that the women behind the brand love what they do,” she notes via email. “The company seems to listen to feedback, and the designs they release are actually designed for millennials by millennials.”
But don’t be fooled — there’s depth to the obsession. If not, the Nap Dress would’ve died alongside lockdown protocols months ago. Perhaps call it the fem-aissance, but after years of activewear and streetwear dominating the fashion conversation, many shoppers are eager to express a more traditionally feminine aesthetic, including Ontario-born Maria Jurewicz who owns six Hill House frocks and counting. “While everyone else was at the peak of their athleisure looks during the pandemic, I wanted something as (if not more) comfortable that still reflected my more polished style,” shares Jurewicz. “There’s power in embracing your femininity.” For Nap Dress Nation, a dress simply isn’t a dress — it’s a symbol for wearing whatever the heck you want, free of judgement or pressures to conform to others’ idea of “cool.” To label it a mere hobby is to downplay the importance of finding and connecting with like-minded people, something which has sorely been missed over the past year and a half.

The Cult Status of Hill House’s Nap Dress published first on https://borboletabags.tumblr.com/ via Tumblr The Cult Status of Hill House’s Nap Dress Naomi Campbell Kate Moss And Claudia Schiffer Get the NFT Treatment in Ellen von Unwerth Collection10/19/2021 German photographer Ellen von Unwerth is known globally for her ability to capture her female subjects in playful yet provocative moments. Her vibrant images have an energy that is almost palpable, and now, they’re coming to life even more with a new venture into world of NFTs as iconic images of three of our favourite ‘90s supermodels — Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss — will be sold as moving, digitized videos. In von Unwerth’s Supermodel Series, five famous images taken in the late ‘80s and ‘90s are transformed into animated artworks via NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. “Non-fungible” means the digital items are unique and one-of-a-kind, and thus cannot be replaced. The works will be auctioned off by celebrity NFT platform Cryptograph on October 21, and can be purchased using the cryptocurrency Ethereum. What a time to be alive. The photographs come to life in the new collection, which blends contemporary artwork with classic ’90s iconography. One of the images of Schiffer, taken in 1988, was featured in a now-famous Guess campaign, where the model sports a one-piece bathing suit, choker and cowboy hat — now reimagined with the water around her, glistening. Another 1998 shot from the series shows Schiffer staring down the camera with her hair in a perfectly tousled up-do, the strands framing her face seemingly blowing in the wind. Also featured is the iconic 1995 image of Kate Moss slouched in a movie theatre chair, donning square frame glasses and carefully placing her fingers on her lips. The animated NFT shows blurred lights moving behind Moss, while sparkles dance along the frames of her eyewear. The collection has two enchanting Naomi Campbell NFTs, including a 1995 image of her in bedazzled mouse ears and a 1991 shot of the model looking past the camera seductively while holding a corded telephone (remember those?) with sparkling Coca Cola cans in her hair in lieu of rollers. “Some of my most iconic images are now animated and immortalized as NFTs,” wrote Von Unwerth in an Instagram post announcing the auction. Cryptograph, the platform auctioning the series, operates with a philanthropic business model, meaning that every time an item is purchased, money is donated to a charitable cause of the respective creator’s choice. For the Supermodel Series, a percentage of the proceeds will go towards UNICEF, Imperial Health Charity and Fashion for Relief, an organization founded by Campbell in 2005. The avant-garde artwork collection is one of many NFT ventures in the fashion world. Earlier this year, Kate Moss launched a series of limited-edition NFT artworks that captured the supermodel in intimate moments, such as walking, driving and sleeping. In April, model Emily Ratajkowski sold an NFT of her standing in front of a famous photograph taken of her by Richard Prince. More recently, in September, Vogue Singapore released an entire issue filled with NFTs. With the growing interest in this digital medium, and its success in fusing traditional methods of artwork with modernity, it seems NFTs are becoming an innovative method of standing out in the industry.

Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss And Claudia Schiffer Get the NFT Treatment in Ellen von Unwerth Collection published first on https://borboletabags.tumblr.com/ via Tumblr Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss And Claudia Schiffer Get the NFT Treatment in Ellen von Unwerth Collection “So excited to show you all the Coach purses I bought,” Tiktoker Anna Sacks (aka The Trash Walker) says, presenting bag after bag to her viewers. “As you can see, they’re all slashed, which is Coach’s policy. This is what they do with unwanted merchandise. They order an employee to deliberately slash it so that no one can use it.”
The New York City-based environmental activist posted the now-viral TikTok — since amassing some 2.9 million views — on October 10 after purchasing the products from Texas-based influencer and dumpster-diver Tiffany She’ree. Soon after, the news was amplified by Diet Prada, a fashion watchdog Instagram account, and widespread online rage over the luxury fashion brand’s behavior, namely for its purported hypocrisy in promoting sustainability, took hold. Days later, Coach posted a response on its Instagram. “We are committed to sustainability,” the statement reads. “We have now ceased destroying in-store returns of damaged and unsalable goods and are dedicated to maximizing such products’ reuse in our Coach (Re)Loved and other circularity programs.” It may have been too little, too late for some, though, with a number of IG commenters calling the brand performative and others vowing to never again buy from Coach. But while the luxury fashion house may be left holding the bag, the practice of brands throwing out unsold merchandise is nothing new. “This has been happening for years and years,” says Anika Kozlowski, assistant professor of Fashion Design, Ethics and Sustainability at Ryerson University. “It’s a super old fashion problem.” Throughout fashion history, many retailers have been caught in similar scandals. Take London-based luxury fashion house Burberry, which came under fire (literally) in 2018 for burning unsold merchandise. In the fast fashion world, Swedish retailer H&M was exposed by The New York Times in 2010 for cutting up clothing that hadn’t been purchased. It happens in Canada, too: Just last year, bags of destroyed children’s clothes from apparel outfit Carter’s were discovered outside Dufferin Mall in Toronto. So, why does this happen? Kozlowski says there’s typically two motivations. First is the financial incentive, as companies are refunded on customs duties for destroyed unsold merchandise. Secondly, luxury brands participate in the practice to protect the prestige and exclusivity of their products. “It becomes less about the money or the economic value, but more about the brand trying to protect the symbolic and cultural value around the products, which is then encouraging them to engage in these practices,” says Taylor Brydges, a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Urban Environments, a transdisciplinary research hub. The Coach damaging bags controversy erupted as the brand had been promoting its sustainability efforts, like its in-house bag repair program and Re(Loved) initiative (not currently available in Canada), which allows customers to trade-in pre-owned bags for store credit, to be “recycled or reimagined” by Coach, according to its website. Customers can then purchase the redesigned and restored bags as part of the Coach (Re)Loved collections. Joon Silverstein, the global head of sustainability and digital at Coach, told WWD the amount of product destroyed by stores represents less than 1 per cent of the brand’s global sales, and over 40 per cent of Coach’s retail stores have ceased damaging products. Coach’s parent company, Tapestry Inc. — which also owns Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman — also recently announced a commitment to reaching net-zero global emissions by 2050. At the time of publication, Tapestry Inc. has not responded to FASHION’s request for comment. Despite touting eco-friendly commitments, Kozlowski says, for the most part, large brands that preach sustainability are greenwashing: attempting to appear environmentally conscious while practicing harmful methods behind the scenes. To be able to meaningfully claim sustainability, she says brands must decrease the amount of product being produced, pay a living wage (especially to those in precarious positions, like garment workers), remove synthetics from product lines, and look to scale down and implement “degrowth” — reducing the energy and resources used across the entire operation. The fashion industry is producing more than ever before, Brydges adds. Since the introduction of what she calls “first generation” fast fashion in the 1990s, companies have sought to encourage consumers to shop more often, resulting in a constant cycle of production. “We’ve gone from four seasons a year to clothing coming into stores weekly, and now with ultra-fast fashion brands, [we’re seeing] daily drops of clothing,” she says. “So our relationship to clothing has fundamentally changed in response to industry changes. There’s just more clothes available to us at increasingly lowered prices.” A 2021 study by non-profit organization Fashion Takes Action, which Kozlowski contributed to, found that in Canada, textile waste is rarely tracked and is usually marked as “other” — this lack of data further exacerbates the problem. Because we have a limited understanding of the amount of textile waste we’re producing, it’s difficult to then figure out how to divert that waste from landfills, Brydges says. “We pay for municipal waste systems, and it’s very expensive to manage sanitary landfills, which is what we mostly have in North America. So, indirectly, North American taxpayers are paying for products to be disposed of, while these companies are getting refunds for destroying them.” Waste in the fashion industry is a systemic issue, and Ryerson University’s Kozlowski says politicians can enact meaningful change. “Governments need to ensure that this is not happening with products that can be reused.” When it comes to the role retailers can play, Kozlowski and Brydges agree brands should assume responsibility for what happens to an item at the beginning, middle and end of its life cycle. “[Brands should be] thinking before the item is even made, ‘What do we want the life of this garment to look like?’” says Brydges. “But that’s a completely different mindset than what most of the industry is currently defined [as].” The post Coach Admits To Damaging Unsold Bags, but the Industry-Wide Practice is Nothing New appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Tiffany & Co.’s just-released “Date Night” — a bonus film to its September “About Love” campaign — chronicles a night out with the notoriously private couple. A love letter to NYC, the short includes references to Breakfast at Tiffany’s in line with the previous film, as well as plenty of black and white footage to set a sultry mood. However, the true star is Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s daughter, Blue Ivy, who crashes the romantic evening, offering viewers a glimpse into the playful side of the powerhouse duo. On this project, Beyoncé is reunited with Ghanaian-Dutch director Emmanuel Adjei following their previous work together on 2020’s visual album ‘Black is King.’ In addition to the film, the jeweller has partnered with BeyGOOD and the Shawn Carter Foundation to create the Tiffany & Co. About Love Scholarship Program. Tiffany & Co. has pledged USD $2M in scholarship funding for students in the arts and creative fields at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). “Date Night” follows another dreamy Tiffany & Co. short featuring the couple. We don’t doubt that Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s day-to-day is filled with private jets, chauffeured cars and lots of bling, which is why the intimate one-minute “About Love” film could probably double as a documentary. In the video for the recently released campaign, Queen B sings “Moon River,” the song made popular by the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, while singing towards Jay-Z on a private jet (not quite the “two drifters” that Audrey Hepburn sang about in the film while sitting on a window ledge looking out onto a fire escape). Just before the Tiffany & Co. short closes, Beyoncé pulls up in a chauffeured car to reunite with her hubby at Orum House, an architectural masterpiece overlooking Bel Air. Another clip has Beyoncé tinkling on a grand piano, while the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond dangles down her back. That would be the same mega rock that played a starring role in the Tiffany & Co. print campaign released in August. Jay-Z, who in one scene watches a home video he shot of his beloved in (where else?) a private screening room, wears cufflinks reimagined from the legendary Jean Schlumberger Bird on a Rock brooch. Tiffany & Co. describes the film as “stripped down and raw, capturing the Carters’ indescribable chemistry through stolen moments of intimacy.” The longing felt between the film’s co-stars is tangible as they share various tender moments.

Protected: Three Creatives On How Their Childhood Style Icons Influenced Their Look published first on https://borboletabags.tumblr.com/ via Tumblr Protected: Three Creatives On How Their Childhood Style Icons Influenced Their Look How did Dune director Denis Villeneuve’s remake of the 1984 sci-fi flick become the must-see fashion event of the fall? Blame Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet. Simply put, the co-stars are a match made in fashion heaven. Style icons in their own right — Zendaya for her ability to rock the most avant-garde of avant-garde runway looks and Chalamet for his androgynous and experimental suiting — one might think that their distinct and bold ensembles would cause a reenactment of the Clash of the Titans. Instead, we got Titanic (minus the traumatic ending) — a perfect pair whose differences elevate the other. Think Zendaya’s leather Balmain gown beside Chalamet’s sparkly Haider Ackermann non-suit at the Venice Film Festival. Suffice to say, with each public appearance the fashion expectations skyrocket. The duo rose to the occasion (yet again) for the latest Dune press event in London. Dressed by her now-famous stylist Law Roach, the starlet wore a 2020 Vivienne Westwood look where she was quite literally dripping in chains. Not to be outdone, the Call Me By Your Name actor looked dapper in a blue and white mushroom-print suit by Stella McCartney. With the film set to premiere on Oct 22, 2021, the final and most anticipated red carpet can’t come soon enough! Until then, here is a brief roundup of the duo’s best Dune looks so far. 1/6 Zendaya in Vivienne Westwood and Timothée Chalamet in Stella McCartney2/6 Zendaya in Rick Owns and Timothée Chalamet in Alexander McQueen3/6 Co-stars Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Timothée Chalamet4/6 Zendaya in Alaïa and Chalamet in Tom Ford5/6 Zendaya in Balmain and Bulgari and Timothée Chalamet in Haider Ackermann6/6 Zendaya in Valentino and Timothée Chalamet in Haider AckermannThe post Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet Just Destroyed Yet Another Red Carpet appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Since the pair started dating publicly, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and Blink-182 drummer have become one of the most visible couples on social media. From flirtatious Instagram comment exchanges to almost X-rated couple pics, these two have been very open about how utterly obsessed they are with one another. And on October 17, the pair revealed they’ll be tying the knot when Kardashian posted a picture of herself with Barker on a beach surrounded by hundreds of roses and candles. She tagged Barker in the caption, writing “forever.” Congrats are in order for the punk-rock couple. Let us celebrate with a detailed relationship timeline! Read on for the most memorable moments in Kravis history. January 2021: Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker romance rumours beginAfter the two post pictures on their respective Instagram Stories with the same Palm Springs destination view, fans begin speculating that they are dating. E! News reports that a source close to the couple confirms the two are an item on the low. February 17, 2021: And just like that, it’s Instagram official!Kardashian posts a subtle yet unmistakable confirmation picture to her IG feed. The post, which shows her holding hands with Barker, was then re-shared to his Instagram Stories. February 21, 2021: Exchanging love lettersOn his Instagram Story, Barker shares a handwritten note from Kardashian, which reads: “To lots of fun adventures, may we destroy each other completely. Love Kourtney.” Saucy! March 4, 2021: Barker opens up about dating KardashianThe musician appears as a guest on The Drew Barrymore Show, where he talks about how, as a father, he appreciates that his new girlfriend also has kids. “I dated girls who didn’t have kids and I find it hard because they would have trouble understanding like, ‘Why don’t you want to go to dinner every night with me?’” he said. “And now I’m spending time with a woman who’s a great mom, who’s a great friend and you don’t have to worry about any of those things. It just comes natural, it’s like a maturity thing.” March 22, 2021: The L-wordAfter weeks of flirtatious comments and captions on Instagram, the celeb couple confirms they’re officially in love. On his Instagram Story, Barker posts a picture of a note that reads, “I love you” in Kardashian’s handwriting. April 10, 2021: Sexting via IG captions?Barker posts an action picture of him playing the drums, captioning it, “All day I dream about sex w/ you.” And in case it wasn’t clear who he was talking about, he made sure to tag Kourtney Kardashian in the photo. April 18, 2021: Barker celebrates Kardashian on her birthdayFor the reality star’s 42nd birthday, Barker pulls out all the stops. Aside from gifting her a very elaborate floral arrangement, he posts an adorable birthday message on Instagram. “I FUCKING LOVE YOU! ? YOU’RE A BLESSING TO THIS WORLD,” wrote the drummer under a series of photos and videos of the couple. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY.” April 27, 2021: Love is in the desert airThe KUWTK star shares a photo of Barker holding and kissing her on a desert vacation, writing in the caption, “Just Like Heaven.” The Blink-182 star comments, “? EVERYTHING.” He also posts a pic of his own from the getaway, writing, “Anywhere with you.” May 12, 2021: Bound by inkThe Poosh CEO shares a series of photos on Instagram that show her tattooing her boyfriend’s forearm the words “I love you.” In the caption, she writes, “I tattoo.” Barker cheers her on in the comment section, calling her a “woman of many talents.” July 8, 2021: An adorable musical momentA video taken by Barker’s daughter Alabama shows the couple getting cozy on a piano bench, playing a duet of “Heart and Soul.” The musician then shares the video to his own Instagram feed, jokingly writing, “Album coming soon.” July 9, 2021: Family bondingKardashian posts a series of photos and videos of her daughter Penelope on her ninth birthday with a new drum set. One of the videos shows Barker helping the birthday girl practice her drumming skills. He comments on Kardashian’s post, writing: “Penelope you’re a rock star.” There are many perks of your mom dating a famous drummer, it seems. July 16, 2021: Engagement rumours flyOn a hot summer weekend, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker jetted off to Vegas to watch a UFC fight. In Kravis fashion, they made no efforts to conceal their PDA while attending the event. The duo also shared a slew of romantic pics from their weekend away. Barker’s daughter Alabama reshared one of their posts to her Instagram Story, writing, “So happy for you guys.” This prompted fans to beg the question, what exactly makes her “so happy” for them?
August 31, 2021: A jealous ex has entered the chatWhile on a romantic getaway in Italy, Kardashian and Barker were seen snogging on a boat ride (as is expected of any doting couple). This rubbed Kourt’s ex (and father of her three kids) Scott Disick the wrong way. In an apparent state of anger, Disick sent the picture to Younes Bendjima, Kardashian’s other ex, attempting in an attempt to shame Kardashian’s behavior. Needless to say, that plan backfired on Disick when Bendjima refused to partake in the one-on-one gossip, instead sharing the convo to his Instagram Story with the caption, “Keep the same energy you had about me publicly, privately.” Yikes. September 12, 2021: Kravis’s first red carpetWhen attending the 2021 VMAs, the couple looked more in love than ever. Barker sported a black suit accentuated with spikes on the shoulders and knees, while Kardashian opted for a black leather lace-up minidress — solidifying their aesthetic as the ultimate goth couple. The two also had memorable photo-ops with the internet’s other fav punk-rock pairing, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox. October 17, 2021: Engaged!TMZ reported the pair got engaged in Montecito, California, surrounded by select family and friends who were there to bear witness. The couple hosted a celebratory engagement dinner, attended by the Kardashian-Jenners and Barker’s kids Alabama and Landon Barker. Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner all shared snaps of their sister’s new engagement ring — and it is quite the rock!
