Fenty and football: A perfect match. With just three weeks left until Rihanna makes her Super Bowl halftime debut, the superstar dropped a new collection of merch to help fans suit up for game day.
The “Lift Me Up” singer teamed with sporting goods giant Mitchell & Ness for a capsule collection available at NFLshop.com, Fanatics.com and MitchellandNess.com.
The Fenty x Mitchell & Ness collection showcases “diversity, equality and freedom.” Featured among the nine unisex pieces are oversize, long-sleeve shirts, along with tees and hoodies available in black or white.
The collection includes a full-snap coaches jacket (only available in black) with NFL and Super Bowl LVII patches embroidered on the front and football and Fenty U.S.A. on the back. Every piece from the collection features either screen-printed graphics or embroidered logos.
Looking for something nostalgic? Rihanna has you covered. The collection includes a retro-style tee with the words “Fenty Athletics” airbrushed across the front. There’s also shirts and hoodies with a photo of Rihanna’s hand holding up a football (the same photo used in Rihanna’s and the NFL’s halftime announcement last year.)

This latest Fenty collab is the second drop behind the Savage x Fenty Game Day Collection. Released earlier in the month, the 17-piece limited collection is comprised of football jerseys, boxers, hats, hoodies and a sold-out graphic tee that reads: “Rihanna Concert Interrupted a Football Game Weird But Whatever.”
The Fenty x Mitchell & Ness collection starts at $44.99 for the shirts and up to $134.99 for the hoodies and coaches jacket. Pieces from the collection are available in sizes S-2XL.

Not only did Paris Fashion Week’s Fall/Winter 2023 menswear shows include more representation than ever from South Korea, but its stars also helped set the tone as ongoing evidence of the country’s importance in luxury fashion.
Opening PFW on Jan. 17, 2023, Saint Laurent delivered a show consisting of sleek trench coats and oversize blouses in its signature black and white color palette, with many looks boasting low cuts and ample skin shown despite the cold weather in Paris. Attendees included SEVENTEEN‘s Jeonghan, LØREN and TEN of NCT and WayV, who all embraced the night’s attitude, with the former two draped in chic coats while TEN bared his chest with a V-cut nearly down to his midriff.
After being named Givenchy’s newest global ambassador, Taeyang of BIGBANG returned to Paris again after last attending a show for the fashion house in 2014. With Givenchy creative director Matthew M. Williams’ collection detailed by distressed elements, plus layered hoodies and jackets, Taeyang’s tattered sweater and acid-washed jeans were all perfectly in line at the Jan. 18 showing.
BTS‘ Jimin took his new role as Dior’s global ambassador seriously with a crisp gray suit, while his bandmate J-Hope donned a dark-gray skirt-pant combo. Both looks beautifully matched the theme of elevated classics that Dior men’s artistic director Kim Jones brought to the runway on Jan. 20.
Elsewhere throughout the city of love, KARD‘s BM looked like he could have been part of Kenzo’s colorful Jan. 20 showcase with his vest, scarf and hat combo. Meanwhile, Louis Vuitton global ambassador Jackson Wang’s silhouette-lengthening jacket and J-Hope’s colorful camouflage both hit the mark in Vuitton’s unconventional show that included a performance from Rosalía on Jan. 19.

The Best of K-Pop Stars at Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2023
With more representation than ever, stars from the K-pop world took over the City of Light for Paris Fashion Week with multiple head-turning moments made just from the first week of menswear shows for the Fall/Winter 2023 season.
One of the earlier shows this year, Saint Laurent on Jan. 17, 2023, had a double dose of boy-band power as SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan and TEN of NCT and WayV made their Fashion Week debuts, seated alongside Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, Billboard Hot 100 hitmakers Conan Gray and Steve Lacy, as well as Korean singer-songwriter (and BLACKPINK collaborator) LØREN.
The Jan. 20 Dior Homme show was graced not only by the fashion house’s new global brand ambassador Jimin, but his bandmate J-Hope, who sat front row with the likes of Naomi Campbell and J Balvin. Afterward, Jimin told fans via Weverse that he was less nervous and could immerse himself at his first fashion show because of J-Hope’s presence. Undoubtedly, the Jack in the Box rapper brought comfort and confidence after taking over PFW, strutting through several menswear shows throughout the week, including Louis Vuitton and Hermes shows during his first Fashion Week.
Another star making multiple stops through Paris was BM of KARD. After previously walking a Milan Fashion Week, the Korean-American rapper (aka Big Matthew) is no stranger to the fashion world and attended shows for Loewe, Kenzo and Sacai during his return to Paris Fashion Week.
That’s just the start of the K-pop star power making appearances for the menswear half for the Fall/Winter 2023 season for Paris Fashion Week. See below for all the stylish looks from members of BTS, SEVENTEEN, NCT, KARD, BIGBANG, GOT7, SF9 and more.
Comedian Larry Wilmore will host this year’s Podcast Academy Awards, known as the Ambies.
The awards show will take place March 7 in Las Vegas at the International Theater, with the ceremony and awards pre-show being livestreamed on Twitch beginning at 4:30 p.m. PT.
Wilmore is currently the host of Black on the Air, a show on The Ringer Podcast Network that has featured guests like Kerry Washington, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Regina Hall, B.J. Novak, Wanda Sykes and Judd Apatow, among others. He is the co-creator of Insecure, with Issa Rae, and Grown-ish, with Kenya Barris.
“Larry’s prolific body of work and unique humor spans the stage, screen and podcasting. To say that we are lucky to have him host this year’s Ambies is an understatement,” said Donald Albright, chairperson of The Podcast Academy and CEO of Tenderfoot TV. “He’s an icon in his own right. We cannot wait to see — and hear — what he will bring to the ceremony.”
At the 2022 Ambie Awards, the podcast 9/12 (Pineapple Street Studios, Amazon Music and Wondery) took home the top prize for podcast of the year. Other winners included Rosamund Pike for her performance in QCode’s Edith and former NPR host Sam Sanders for his work as a host on It’s Been a Minute. The ceremony was hosted at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles.

This summer, RBD is set to kick off its Soy Rebelde Tour, marking a highly awaited comeback for the group almost 20 years later.
The 26-date trek, produced by Live Nation, will find original members Anahí, Dulce María, Christian Chavez, Maite Perroni and Christopher von Uckermann visiting fans in Mexico, Brazil, and the U.S. across 10 stadiums and 16 arenas. (Alfonso Herrera will not join his bandmates.)
“It’s a new era that makes us really excited and it’s a new opportunity to share the stage once again and feel a unique energy […] Now, the time [for the reunion] is perfect because we’re now more conscious, more mature, we’ll enjoy it from a different perspective now as adults,” Perroni previously told Billboard.
The group’s last tour grossed a total of $72.5 million and sold more than 1.5 million tickets, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. With their 2023 stint — which will kick off in El Paso, Texas, at the Sun Bowl Stadium on Aug. 25 — RBD hope to “close a cycle of our lives that was so important and so spectacular,” according to Perroni.
“Our intention this time around is to enjoy it to the fullest, to share, thank everyone and have some sort of closure that I don’t think we had last time around. We had a goodbye tour back then, but it didn’t feel like we really said goodbye,” she noted.
While the beloved RBD fandom prepares its Elite Way School uniform-inspired concert ‘fit, the Billboard Latin team curated a dream tour setlist featuring 11 of RBD’s biggest Billboard hits. See the list below:
Travis Barker has a new tattoo that appears to be another tribute to wife Kourtney Kardashian.
“Oh hey there,” Barker captioned a series of photos he posted on Saturday (Jan. 21).
The images included one of him with Kardashian, followed shortly after by a look at his leg art. After a full body picture, there was a closeup of a tattoo design resembling Kardashian’s eyes.
The Blink-182 drummer debuted another tattoo of Kardashian in 2021 — her name spelled out on his chest — following just a few months of dating. The couple were married in 2022, with a practice wedding with no license in Las Vegas, a legal wedding in Santa Barbara, California, and finally a lavish celebration in Portofino, Italy.
Barker will be heading out on a world tour with Blink-182 beginning in March, kicking things off on March 11 in Tijuana, Mexico.
See Barker’s new tattoo on the third and fourth photos on his weekend Instagram post here.
