Towa Bird on Album Release Jitters and the Summer of Pop Girls

If you haven’t heard, summer 2024 is, musically, for the girls, and Towa Bird officially throws her hat in the ring Friday. “I am really enjoying The Japanese House. She’s a great songwriter. I love Remi Wolf and her voice. I think she’s amazing. Just, like, the girls,” Bird says of what she’s been listening to as of late. “I love Chappell [Roan]. I love Charli [XCX]’s new album. I listened to a little bit of Normani’s album yesterday, and that’s so fun. Yeah. I love the girls.” Ask anyone else, and Bird’s name would likely be added to that list of recent listens. The 25-year-old has been on a steady climb the last few years, catapulted lately by her touring appearances with girlfriend Reneé Rapp. After two years in the making, Bird’s debut album “American Hero” drops Friday.  Bird will have returned back to Los Angeles from a week of press in Australia, just in time to celebrate the release properly: “I’m going to hopefully have a party and get aggressively drunk,” she s...

Cody Williams and Jalen Williams Get Ready for the NBA Draft in Rhude

For his big night as a draftee into the NBA, Colorado Buffaloes star Cody Williams — and his brother, Oklahoma City player Jalen Williams — worked with Rhude on custom suits, marking the first time Rhude has dressed a player for the NBA draft. Both suits were made from English refined wool fabric and were finished with Italian craftsmanship. They are inspired by Rhude designer Rhuigi Villaseñor’s fall 2024 collection, called “Out of Range,” which “was inspired by the rich elegance of the English countryside, and a touch of modern fits,” the brand said. “This is the first time I’ve really put on a suit to this magnitude, a suit that’s this nice,” Cody said earlier in the day ahead of the draft, where he would go on to be selected by the Utah Jazz. “I’m really looking forward to being on the red carpet for the first time and really stepping out into the fashion world.” Cody Williams getting ready for the NBA Draft in Rhude. He described his final look as a summer take on the brand’s fall...

NBA Draftees Stephon Castle, Matas Buzelis and More Talk Fashion on the Big Night

“I’ve seen so many crazy suits I didn’t want my suit to be remembered for the wrong reasons,” said Stephon Castle of his fashion thought process heading into his NBA draft night. “Simple but not too simple” was how Castle described his final look, a sentiment that applied to many of the looks Wednesday evening at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where round one of the 2024 NBA Draft was held (the second round will be held Thursday at Barclays, marking the first time they’ve been split across two days). Only a handful of the players on Wednesday said they worked with stylists on their look, while a couple worked directly with brands (Cody Williams and Rhude, Alex Sarr and Versace). For many others, family and friends came to the rescue.  “My mother picked this out,” said Matas Buzelis of his strong shoulder look. “I don’t like to do a lot [fashion wise], I like that it’s very simple.”  His interpretation of simple still managed to be high fashion: “YSL pinstripes, Tom Ford tie, YSL...

Rapman Channels His Own Superpowers to Make ‘Supacell’

At the moment, Rapman’s superpower is patience. It’s late May and the filmmaker is eagerly awaiting Thursday’s release of “Supacell,” his new superhero series for Netflix that is set in South London and features an all-Black cast. “I’m kind of counting down the days like a kid at Christmas right now,” says Rapman, nee Andrew Onwubolu, from his home in London. “Supacell,” which was created, written, produced and codirected by Onwubolu, is the follow-up to his buzzy feature-length directorial debut “Blue Story.” The film was released in the U.K. in late 2019 with a U.S. theatrical release to follow in 2020, shortly after the film’s lead Micheal Ward won the BAFTA EE Rising Star award. The pandemic altered the film’s runway, but didn’t curtail Onwubolu’s ascent.  Onwubolu turned his focus to writing “Supacell,” based on a simple premise: “I wanted to make something about normal people with powers,” he says. The series was greenlit by Netflix in 2021, and began production in 2022....

Behind the Scenes With ‘The Fire Inside’ Star Ryan Destiny Before the Dior Couture Show

Up-and-coming actress Ryan Destiny made her Dior Couture debut this week in Paris, taking in the latest collection from the brand.  Destiny, who is best known for her role in Lee Daniels’ Fox series “Star,” will be seen this Christmas in Amazon MGM’s biopic “The Fire Inside,” in which she portrays boxer Claressa “T-Rex” Shields. The film is written by Barry Jenkins and tells the story of Shields, who became the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing and the first American boxer (male or female) ever to win gold in back-to-back Olympic Games. Destiny’s portrayal has been called one of the “most anticipated movie performances of 2024” by Variety.  With the fall bringing premieres and awards season events, it only makes sense to start things off fashion-wise at Paris Couture. Styled by Scot Louie for the Dior Couture show, the 29-year-old wore a “timeless Dior” look that had her feeling “sultry and feminine.” For glam, Destiny worked with Hos Hounkpatin on ha...
