Happy Tuesday! We’re just as upset as you are that we didn’t get the invite to any NYFW parties. So let’s read about people who did.
POP CULTURE
Bringing you the highlights (see: what we care about) from each week in pop culture.
What you missed: What happens when two of the dopest, most talented actors of our generation wear the same outfit? Outstanding cuteness.
Look at Michael B. Jordan’s comment!
Earlier this year, Certified Snack Michael B. Jordan wore a stunning gray Berluti suit to the Vanity Fair Oscars party. He obviously looked fine AF. But in come Queen Zendaya–this past Friday, Z wore the same suit to the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week. And also looked fine AF. And the internet had some thoughts.
Well, Michael B. Jordan knows when to concede defeat. He commented on The Shade Room’s post (see above), acknowledging Zendaya looked *insert all the fire emojis here.* We stan. This was the uplifting news we needed.
What’s happening now: It’s New York Fashion Week, bitchez! Ok, I won’t pretend to know anything about fashion or the week itself–what I DO know is that it’s a week full of incredible parties that I get to attend via celebrities’ instagram stories. But the celebs I’m most interested in ATM are Gigi Hadid and Tyler Cameron.
To bring you up to speed: G+T have been playing a cat-and-mouse game with the public on whether or not they’re actually dating. So apparently, “dating” now means going to someone’s grandmother’s funeral in a foreign country (see above) but NOT acknowledging your SO at a red carpet event. Fersure, taking notes.
They both showed up to the Zendaya x Tommy Hilfiger event on Sunday–separately. And like, didn’t talk the whole time. And weren’t photographed together at all. A week after a funeral in the Netherlands together. Dating in the 21st century is goddamn exhausting.
What we’re looking forward to: Finding out who the eff is going to play Prince Eric. ICYMI, Disney is on a remaking binge, and all of the animated childhood classics we grew up with are returning to the big screen. (Helloooo, Aristocats, where you at??). Well, The Little Mermaid is one of the next remakes on deck, and news of the cast has been slowly but surely making its rounds.
We know Halle Bailey will be playing Ariel, and our faves Melissa McCarthy, Jacob Tremblay, and Awkwafina are playing Ursula, Flounder, and Scuttle (respectively). What we DON’T know is who’s going to play the hottest animated man of all time, Prince Eric.
Well, we do know who WON’T be playing him–and finally, we know why. In an interview with The Face, Prince Eric *ahem* Harry Styles revealed that while he was in talks to play the role, he decided to pass it up for sex. I mean, to write songs about sex. And about being sad. No, I’m not at all kidding.
While we knew from Harry’s Rolling Stone cover that his new album is “full of the toughest, most soulful songs,” this is the first time he’s admitted to turning down the role of Prince Eric. He did, however, say that he thinks “everyone involved in it was amazing, so I think it’s going to be great. I’ll enjoy watching it, I’m sure.” So will we, Harry, just not as much without you in it.
That’s all for this week, folks! Catch ya next time.
