Beyoncé Frisch from three sold-out shows in Stade de France over the weekend and is still deep in her cowboy carter era and arrives in a double-denim-texas smoking and ten gallon hat. She sat in front and centered in the preliminary introduction of the Pompidou Center Modern Art Museum for the artistic director of the Indian -inspired collection of men.
J-Hope was sitting next to Spike Lee, who celebrated the world premiere of his latest film “Higest 2 Lowst” at the Film Festival in Cannes last month. Since then he has jumped between France and New York City.
“We got a great reception in Cannes and I was here for the French Open last week,” he said and congratulated Coco Gauff on their winning performance. “Now I’m back to support my brother Pharrell, and it’s a nice night here in the city of light. It is important and the best place to be on earth tonight.”
Jackson Wang, who worked with Williams’ Billiards Jung Club and Joopiter for his “Life is a Race”, who debuted on Sunday, enjoyed a mini-reunion with his GOT7 bandmate Bam Bam in the front row. Both are Louis Vuitton ambassador.
Bam Bam teased a new album on the horizon. “I would say yes because we just finished the got7 stuff,” he said of the album “Winter Heptagon” of the band, which was released in January. “Now we are slowly coming out [with solo projects] One by one, and I am the turn of the end of the year. “
The singer debuted bleached white locks and wore a Louis Vuitton Jinbei-inspired wrap jacket. “I don’t know what I’m wearing, but it just looked cool,” he joked. “The traffic was crazy. It said it would take 20 minutes, but I was in the car for two hours.”
Always patients pop stars Bam Bam and Wang lingered the show after almost half an hour and talked to every fan that approached, playfully and made selfies before they went behind the stage to greet Williams.
Russell Westbrook, the basketball star, was also turned over after spending the day to present his contemporary line, honoring the gift. “I have an exhibition room here, so we also show our spring collection. I worked there all day, then I came out for the show,” he said.
Westbrook finds Williams’ work inspiring. “He is always authentic for who he is. It is important to stay authentic what they are and I think he does it very well.”
Other guests were Bradley Cooper, a $ AP Nast, Star Gong Yoo, Steve Harvey and Christian Dior Creative Director Jonathan Anderson, who is eagerly awaited in the house on Friday.
