Month: July 2024

The first Glastonbury Festival was staged back in 1970 by Michael Eavis – inspired by a typically ear-splitting outdoor gig by rock heavyweights Led Zeppelin at that year’s Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music.

Music fans are ruing some of the ‘progressive’ elements appearing to feature at this year’s event – with pop acts accused of miming to backing tracks.

Yet bands including US metallers Mötley Crüe are among those to admit they too use pre-records to help boost the sound pounded out to fans attending live gigs.

The first Glastonbury headliners were Marc Bolan’s Tyrannosaurus Rex, later T. Rex, who stepped in for the Kinks and Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders. 

Those performing the following year included David Bowie and heavy rockers Hawkwind, while much-revisited performances at the festival since have included Pulp in 1995, Amy Winehouse in 2007, Metallica in 2014 and Stormzy in 2019.

But organisers and broadcasters have faced flak over this year’s ‘underwhelming’ festival which has also increased the spotlight on modern pop’s technical tweaks to ‘enhance’ the sound – at the alleged expense of live authenticity.

Chart-topping pop star Dua Lipa, pictured headlining Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage on Friday night, was among the acts which had viewers talking of sound issues and possible miming

Similar complaints were made following Coldplay’s headline set the following evening – pictured are frontman Chris Martin (left) and bassist Guy Berryman (right)

Also featuring on-stage at the festival that day was Camila Cabello (pictured right)

US metal band Mötley Crüe, fronted by Vince Neil (pictured), have been open about using backing tracks to help enhance the sound of live performances

Music experts have revealed how the multi-million-pound pressure of major gigs is driving acts to use backing tracks more and more in live performances – as a ‘miming’ row over alleged lip-syncing at Glastonbury rages on.

This year’s festival came under fire from unimpressed listeners and viewers after a series of artists were said to come across as sounding ‘awful’.

Analysts have since suggested that poor sound quality at Glastonbury could be due to using pre-recorded backing tracks.

Acts facing accusations of miming at last weekend’s festival included Dua Lipa on Friday and both Camila Cabello and Coldplay the following day.

And industry insiders have told MailOnline that the approach is gaining favour especially among ‘US urban, boy band, girl groups and K Pop acts on which there can be millions of pounds at stake’.

Dua Lipa was the first to be accused of lip-syncing by those watching coverage of this year’s Glastonbury festival on the BBC last Friday night

Lyle Bignon, a UK music consultant specialising in live venues and festivals, told how a ‘new generation of fans’ had ‘different expectations’ for modern-day ‘live’ shows.

He added: ‘The level of pressure on artists and productions to deliver a supremely memorable and note-perfect performance at mega events like Glastonbury is absolutely real.

‘Follow-up tours, new releases, brand opportunities, advertising deals and other lucrative income streams are often lined up after major televised shows to take advantage of momentum.’

He also described how touring with multiple vocalists and musicians can be seen as too costly for many – but did add: ‘Broadly speaking, for UK music acts, those who can perform live, will.’

Gareth Fuller, founder and choirmaster of Britain’s Got Talent 2024 finalists Northants Sings Out, said using pre-records for live performances had become ‘more common than ever and certainly on the rise’.

He added: ‘The use of your own recorded vocals can be of benefit if working with sound teams that don’t readily know your requirements – for example, if you are on a large festival stage with no soundcheck and sound quality you cannot account for.’

But he also pointed to potential drawbacks in a loss of flexibility’, ‘where changing direction mid-song based on the crowd suits the moment’.

Last weekend’s controversies came just weeks after guitar band Foo Fighters‘ frontman Dave Grohl aiming a jibe at Taylor Swift, whose sold-out Eras Tour gigs at Wembley Stadium coincided with his group’s own UK gigs.

He told fans at West Ham United’s London Stadium: ‘We were joking about the Taylor Swift tour earlier – I know she’s on her Eras Tour.

‘I tell you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift – so we like to call our tour the Errors Tour.

Taylor Swift made a point to thank her band for playing ‘live’ for a three and a half hour set last night, after Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl suggested she did not sing live

Addressing his fans at the London Stadium last month, Foo Fighters frontman Grohl said they were in the right place for ‘raw live rock ‘n’ roll music’ as he aimed a jibe at Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift responded by telling her next audience: ‘What you just did is an unforgettable moment in not just my life, but every very single one of our crew’

‘We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few f***ing errors as well. Just a couple. That’s because we actually play live.’

US singer Swift pointedly responded at her third Wembley concert the following night, telling the 80,000-strong crowd: ‘What you just did is an unforgettable moment in not just my life, but every very single one of our crew.

‘The band that’s going to be playing live for you for three and a half hours tonight.’

Others whose on-stage performances at Glastonbury’s Worthy Farm in Somerset appeared to be hit by technical issues included Sunday evening’s ‘Legends’ slot artist Shania Twain.

Questions have been posed as to whether the festival’s technical team were at fault or else the BBC – but plenty of fans were swift to claim acts using backing tracks could face the blame.

Dua Lipa was the first to be accused of lip-syncing by those watching coverage of her headline set on the BBC last Friday night.

One watcher wrote on X, formerly Twitter: ‘Imagine paying all that money to go Glastonbury to stand there and watch Dua Lipa mime the song and not even sing it. How bad.’

Another remarked online: ‘Dua Lipa delivering a Top of the Pops mime set.’

A third posted: ‘Dua Lipa has some decent catchy tunes, but I’m fairly sure she’s lip syncing.

‘Sounds like a live vocal, but just not convinced she’s singing it live “right now”.’

Gareth Fuller, founder and choirmaster of Britain’s Got Talent 2024 finalists Northants Sings Out, said using pre-records for live performances was now ‘more common than ever’

There were similar sound issues and complaints with Coldplay ‘s record breaking set on Saturday night, with some accusing frontman Chris Martin of miming

Another to have come under the scrutiny of eagle eyed fans is Camila Cabello, who put on a racy performance at her set on Saturday

Yet the British-Albanian chart-topper, 28, later hit back, insisting: ‘I don’t mime.’

Similar issues seemed to arise with Coldplay’s record breaking fifth Glastonbury headline set the following night, which included frontman Chris Martin inciting US actor Michael J Fox on stage in his wheelchair to play guitar during Fix You.

The British band made their debut at the festival in the New Bands Tent in 1999, before headlining in 2002, 2005, 2011, and 2016, and have now headlined on the main Pyramid Stage more than any other artists.

Yet there were some dubious viewers suggesting Chris could have been miming the words to some his songs, rather than singing live.

One wrote: ‘Tons of miming and backing tracks being used in this Coldplay performance. Bass player in danger of being made redundant.’

A second said: ‘There’s a fair amount of blagging and miming going on here… Loads of tracks running in the background.’

Another posted: ‘The people who were giving off about Taylor Swift’s band miming or using backing tracks would get a big surprise if they saw Coldplay’s input list.’

Beyonce faced similar allegations of possible miming after singing US national anthem The Star-Spangled Banner at Barack Obama’s second inauguration as American president at the White House in January 2013.

The late US soul legend Aretha Franklin, who performed at Mr Obama’s first inauguration ceremony four years earlier, described Beyonce as having ‘done a beautiful job with the pre-record’.

She said: ‘When I heard the news this evening that she was pre-recorded I really laughed – I thought it was funny because the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees and for most singers that is just not good singing weather.

Beyonce faced accusations of possibly miming to a pre-recorded track when performing the US national anthem at President Barack Obama’s second inauguration in January 2013

The late US soul singer Aretha Franklin, who performed at Mr Obama’s first inauguration in 2009, said she ‘cracked up’ when hearing about Beyonce’s apparent pre-record

‘When I heard that I just really cracked up. I thought it was really funny, but she did a beautiful job with the pre-record.’

The track was recorded with the Marine Corps Band, who confirmed they did not play their instruments live on the day.

Britney Spears was also accused of lip-syncing on UK tours taking in London’s O2 Arena in 2000, 2009 and 2011 – although supporters defended her, saying it was to help her concentrate on elaborate dance routines.

More recently, legendary crooner Frankie Valli, 90, has faced online criticism over footage suggesting he lip-syncs to Four Seasons classics while continuing to tour.

But there are other acts who have been open about topping up live shows with backing tracks – including California rockers Mötley Crüe, Loudwire reported.

Bandleader Nikki Sixx posted on X, formerly Twitter: ‘We’ve used technology since ’87. Been using sequencers, sub tones, background vox tracks, plus background singers and us.’

He described how they pre-record ‘stuff we can’t tour with, like cello parts in ballads, etc’, adding: ‘We love it, and don’t hide it. It’s a great tool to fill out the sound.’

Yet Deep Purple’s frontman Ian Gillan has called the practice cheating, while Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine labelled acts who use backing tracks ‘f***ing lazy’.

In a twist on supposed miming, Glastonbury 2022 headliner Sir Paul McCartney, 82, is aided by drummer and backing vocalist Abe Laboriel Jr for some of his high notes.

Britney Spears has been described as lip-syncing to songs at her shows on UK visits including this performance on her ‘Piece Of Me’ tour at London’s O2 Arena in August 2018

Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan, pictured at the Alma Festival in Spanish capital Madrid last month, has described using backing tracks for live shows as ‘cheating’

Becky Pell, a sound engineer from Oxfordshire who is currently on tour with Take That, told the Sunday Times that the ‘vast majority’ of pop artists do sing live.

Yet she said it was ‘not practical’ to have the 16 musicians which would appear on a recorded track all performing on stage.

Another sound engineer, who has toured with Blondie, described how stars deploy extra guitarists or an orchestra on backing tracks to ‘thicken the sound out’ – but extra recorded vocals would be in addition to, not instead of, live singing.

Tickets for this year’s five-day Glastonbury Festival cost £355 – up £20 on last year – plus a £5 booking fee.

The event was first held in 1970 and has grown to attract hundreds of acts and 210,000 ticket-holders, but this year’s version has been criticised as ‘underwhelming’.

Industry experts have suggested Glastonbury has struggled to secure top names – with the fees on offer a tenth of what artists can command elsewhere.

Yet others have also highlighted how legendary performers are often tempted by the event’s prestige – and potential sales boosts from a higher profile.

When Swift announced her UK tour dates last June, some noted how the weekend scheduled for this year’s Glastonbury appeared available.

Viewers tuning in to Shania Twain at Glastonbury last Saturday also told of sound problems and the Canadian country-pop singer could be seen struggling with her earpiece

She had previously agreed to headline the Pyramid Stage in 2020, only for the Covid-19 pandemic to intervene and put paid to that year’s festival.

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis, daughter of the event’s founder Michael Eavis, said in 2022: ‘I think we’ve got Taylor next time she’s doing some touring.’

Yet last weekend Swift was playing three nights at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium as part of her world tour, which has become the first whose ticket sales have grossed more than $1billion, or £790million.

And disagreements over the money on offer reportedly scuppered plans for Madonna to fill this year’s prestigious Sunday ‘Legends’ spot which was then taken by Canadian country-pop star Twain, the Telegraph reported.

Nikki Glaser is demanding her parents apologize for their bad take on Julia Roberts‘ interaction with Travis Kelce at Sunday’s Taylor Swift show in Dublin, Ireland.

‘Uh oh,’ the comedian, 40, captioned a since-expired Instagram Story screenshot of a news story about her parents’ remarks on Tuesday, writing: ‘My parents are going to issue an apology soon.’

The controversy arose from Nikki’s – who defended her jokes at the Tom Brady roast – mom Julie and dad Edward reacting to footage of the Steel Magnolias actress, 56, affectionately touching Kelce’s, 34, chest while talking to him.

‘She’s so gross,’ Julie said, adding that it was ‘weird’ that the actress was ‘itching’ the athlete’s chest.

Edward agreed, saying that Kelce was ‘trying to get away’ from Roberts.

‘Uh oh,’ the comedian, 40, captioned a since-expired Instagram Story screenshot of a news story about her parents’ remarks on Tuesday, writing: ‘My parents are going to issue an apology soon’

‘She’s trying to French kiss him right now!’ Julie went on, adding: ‘Just kidding. She would.’

On Tuesday, Julie admitted that she ‘should’ve said something different than the word gross’ in an apology video via Nikki’s Instagram Story.

‘It’s not a nice word. … So, I’m issuing an apology right now for using the word — but I think it was really weird.’

Julie went on to say that she  ‘meant to say just weird, not [gross] and weird.’ Edward added in that it was ‘too late’ to take back her comments.

In the social media footage of Roberts and Kelce, the Oscar winner simply told the Super Bowl champion that she was happy for him and Taylor.

But despite the controversy, the trio had a good time at the concert, which was Nikki’s 13th (Swift’s favorite number) Eras show.

‘This was my 13th show. And the best part for me is always the reveal,’ Nikki captioned an Instagram Story video of Swift’s entrance at the beginning of the show on Monday.

‘My dad cried when we all cheered for her after Champagne Problems,’ she wrote alongside a photo of her dad tearing up.

‘How cute is this,’ she wrote.

Stevie Nicks, 76, was seated next to Roberts and Kelce in the VIP tent for Sunday’s concert.

Swift gave the Rhiannon a shout-out before performing the the Tortured Poets Department track Clara Bow — which features Nicks’ name in the lyrics.

‘She’s become friends with so many female artists just to be a guiding hand. I can’t tell you how rare that is,’ she told the audience.

‘She’s a hero of mine and also someone I could tell her any secret [and] she’d never tell anybody. She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks,’ Swift gushed.

A$AP Rocky has a string of musical hits and awards to his name, but his best work today is being a father of two.

The hitmaker, 35, who is in Las Vegas promoting his Puma collaboration at the F1 races, says his greatest work to date is creating his sons with longtime love Rihanna, 35.

When asked by Complex Magazine if he and the Umbrella artist might consider working together on a Puma collection in an interview posted on Instagram Saturday, the Fashion Killa rapper beamed as he spoke about the accomplishments they’d already made.

‘If me and my lady was to collab what could we team up and just, like, just f**ing smash and go crazy on? I think we do a real great job at collaborating making children,’ the musician said with a laugh.

‘I think that’s our best creation so far!’ he stated.

Collaboration:  A$AP Rocky, 35, beamed as he discussed his personal collaborations with longtime love Rihanna Saturday in Las Vegas  (Pictured in New York October 3)

The couple share RZA, 18 months, and Riot Rose, three months.

‘Nothing is better than that out there, any design.’

The BET Award winner did credit another entity with helping create his family.

‘We had a third designer come and help,’ he explained.

‘A ghost designer named God, you know, and shaped everything and we had these beautiful angels, so that’s the best collaboration.’

Rihanna and Rocky first met in 2013 when he joined her Diamond tour, and she appeared in the video for his hit Fashion Killa later that year.

They stayed friends throughout the years, even though they were in other relationships.

Rocky dated Kendall Jenner for a while in 2016, but the romance was over the next year.

Proud parents: The couple share RZA, 18 months, and Riot Rose, three months  (Pictured in May on RZA’s first birthday)

Best creation: When asked if he and Rihanna had considered a professional collaboration, Rocky said, ‘I think we do a real great job at collaborating making children,’ the musician said with a laugh. ‘I think that’s our best creation so far!’

Helping hand: The rapper said he and Rihanna had a helping hand in creating such cuties. ‘God… shaped everything and we had these beautiful angels, so that’s the best collaboration’

Rihanna, who escaped a violent relationship with Chris Brown in 2009, was dating billionaire Hassan Jameel for three years before they went their separate ways in 2020.

It was about this time the private pair began spending more time together and made their relationship official in November of that year.

They welcomed their first son in May 2022 and their second in August.

Wedding bells: Although Rocky sometimes public refers to Rihanna as his ‘wife,’ the couple have never formally announced an engagement or plans to marry, so it’s unclear if wedding bells will ring for the couple in the future  (Pictured in New York in May)

Rihanna famously revealed her pregnancy with Riot at the Super Bowl in January.

Although Rocky sometimes public refers to Rihanna as his ‘wife,’ the couple have never formally announced an engagement or plans to marry.

‘They’ve talked about getting married down the line,” a source told US Weekly in June.

‘Both think of each other as the one they’re going to spend the rest of their life with.’

Ryan Reynolds has reignited rumors of a potential Taylor Swift cameo in his upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine – just weeks before it hits theaters.

On Tuesday, the actor, 47, set social media ablaze when he posted a photo from the set of the superhero flick inspired by Swift’s 2020 album Evermore to Instagram.

Dressed in Deadpool’s iconic red supersuit with his dual samurai swords strapped to his back, Reynolds recreated the album’s iconic cover art.

Like Swift, Reynolds faced away from the camera while standing in a field with bare trees in the distance.

The Canadian star — who boasts 51.5million followers — also set his Instagram post to the tune of the Grammy nominated album’s title track.

The Evermore cover art was famously captured by photographer Beth Garrabrant at a sprawling New York estate ‘owned by a friend’ of Swift’s.

Fans have speculated that the property — where the cover art for Evermore’s sister album Folklore (2020) was also shot — is owned by Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, 36.

Swift and Lively have been BFFs since 2015 – three years into Lively’s marriage to Reynolds.

She is considered a core member of the multi-Grammy Award-winner’s ‘girl squad.’

Reynolds and Lively are parents to four children — daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four, and another baby born in February 2023.

Swift famously name-dropped James, Inez and Betty on her Folklore track Betty – with the song actually revealing the youngest daughter’s name for the very first time.

In a 2021 SiriusXM interview, Reynolds revealed that his girls had no idea they made it into the song’s lyrics until it was released.

‘We surprised them with it. They didn’t know,’ he said, before joking: ‘We don’t tell them anything; we find they’re most compliant if you offer them no access to outside information.’

When it comes to their fourth child’s moniker — which has yet to be revealed — Reynolds joked on the TODAY show in May that it’s in Swift’s hands.

She also previously starred in Cats (2018), Valentine’s Day (2010) with ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner and she was once a guest star on a 2009 episode of CSI.

Swift and Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively have been BFFs since 2015. Lively is considered a core member of the multi-Grammy Award-winner’s ‘girl squad’; seen in 2023

‘We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name is, and I’ll say this: We’re still waiting,’ he teased, adding that Swift is a ‘prolific writer.’

The couple recently attended Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Madrid, Spain with all three of their girls in the audience in May.

Rumors that Swift may appear in Deadpool & Wolverine kicked off last year after she was seen hanging out with co-stars Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, 55.

In October 2023, the trio attended one of Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce’s games along with Lively.

Jackman shared a now-viral selfie of himself, Swift, Reynolds and Lively posing together in their seats during the big game.

Swift and Jackman have been friends for over a decade, with the pair even celebrating Christmas Eve together in 2014.

The October 2023 outing prompted fans to speculate that Swift may either appear as Lady Deadpool or Dazzler in the long-awaited Marvel superhero sequel.

And those rumors ramped up earlier this month when the latest Deadpool & Wolverine trailer was released.

It featured a brief scene of a pair of legs – that appear to belong to a woman – walking through the dust and rubble.

Many were quick to argue that the legs belonged to Swift, while others wondered if Reynold’s wife Lively might make a cameo of her own in the film out July 26.

Soon after, the official IMAX Instagram uploaded a promo poster for the film that showed Deadpool and Wolverine rocking Eras Tour-inspired friendship bracelets.

The bracelets — often made of colorful beads and featuring iconic Swift lyrics or song names — became a tradition after Swift’s tour kicked off in March 2023 as fans began making them and handing them out during the concerts.

The cameo speculation isn’t as far fetched as it may seem as Swift actually has some significant acting experience under her belt.

She made a cameo in David O. Russell’s box office bomb Amsterdam starring Margot Robbie and Christian Bale in 2022.

Swift is currently tackling the European leg of her highly-successful Eras Tour.

She played her 100th Eras Tour show earlier this month in Liverpool, with the star declaring that ‘the show feels new to me every time we play it.’

The billionaire called it ‘the adventure of a lifetime’ and thanked fans for their continued support.

Hailey Bieber’s pregnancy self-care includes maintaining a skincare and beauty ritual that prioritizes gentle products and hydration. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect the skin, making a simple routine with safe, non-toxic products essential. Hydrating masks, gentle cleansers, and moisturizers with natural ingredients can help maintain skin health and promote a radiant complexion.

Adequate rest is fundamental for both maternal and fetal health, and Hailey Bieber emphasizes the importance of prioritizing sleep. Establishing a bedtime routine, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and practicing relaxation techniques can improve sleep quality during pregnancy. Sufficient rest supports physical recovery, hormone regulation, and overall well-being throughout each trimester.




Social support plays a significant role in pregnancy self-care, and Hailey Bieber values connecting with loved ones during this transformative time.

Khloe Kardashian took to her Instagram story to show off her son Tatum’s newest  closet addition on Friday.

The 39-year-old reality TV star – who recently surprised her daughter True, 6, with a pet cat for her birthday – dressed her 21-month-old in a black T-shirt that boasts her famous sister Kim Kardashian.

The shirt displays a collage of images of the reality star in some of her most iconic looks over the years.

On the bottom, we seem little Tatum wearing black denim shorts and a pair of white slip on shoes.

He held his fist to his mouth as he looked off into the distance while posing in the statement shirt that read ‘Kim Kardashian’ in bold red lettering.

Most prominently on the shirt, we see Kim in her famous form fitting ‘wet’ dress that she controversially wore to the 2019 Met Gala.

The busty display was front and center while surrounded by four other cutouts of the 43-year-old SKKN BY KIM founder.

We also see her in a neon yellow dress wearing a high pony while looking off to the side.

In another outfit she wears a long sleeve silver turtleneck dress with roses in the center as she wore her hair in an updo.

We then see Kim don a racy white dress with cutouts throughout the ensemble with her dark locks slicked back.

The last look shows the star sitting on her knees with flowers covering her intimate areas as her hair cascades over her shoulders.

Khloe shares Tatum and True, 6, with her 33-year-old ex partner, basketball star Tristan Thompson.

The blonde beauty and Tristan were first linked in the summer of 2016 when they were spotted at LA’s Bootsy Bellows nightclub.

In a 2017 interview, the Good American co-founder said they met via a blind date set up by their mutual friend, Brandon Jennings, and was reluctant at the time.

October of that same year, the pair went Instagram official in a romantic Halloween post where the two posed as Marvel’s Storm and the Black Panther.

April of 2018, the 33 year-old Canada native fathered True with the reality star until their world came crashing down.

Just days before the birth, he was caught in an exclusive video locking lips with a sexy brunette at Manhattan club.

At the time, a source revealed that ‘Khloé carried his child and is much more in the limelight than he is, and she doesn’t think he understands the consequences of his decisions

‘She thinks the cheating scandal is a way bigger deal than he does, and he doesn’t fully understand the repercussions of his actions affecting not only him and Khloé but the entire family as a whole.’

In February 2019, TMZ reported that he cheated again kissing Jordyn Woods, a close family friend. Woods, then best friend of Kylie Jenner, confirmed it in a Red Table Talk.

In 2022, Kardashian had her son Tatum via surrogate and changed his last name to Thompson over a year after his birth

Khloe subsequently tweeted, ‘Tristan is equally to blame but Tristan is the father of my child…

‘Regardless of what he does to me I won’t do that to my daughter. He has been addressing this situation PRIVATELY.’

Hailey Bieber And Justine Skye Attended The Event In Elegant Outfits, A Far Cry From Last Year’s Style

Hailey Bieber and Justine Skye made a stunning appearance at the recent event, turning heads with their elegant outfits that marked a departure from their styles of the previous year. The event, renowned for its star-studded guest list and glamorous fashion, provided the perfect stage for both celebrities to showcase their evolved fashion sensibilities.

Hailey Bieber, known for her chic and sophisticated style, opted for a sleek black gown that accentuated her slender figure. The gown featured intricate lace detailing and a daring slit that added a touch of allure to her ensemble. She accessorized minimally with diamond stud earrings and a matching bracelet, letting her outfit speak volumes.

On the other hand, Justine Skye brought a vibrant flair to the event with her choice of attire. She dazzled in a flowing emerald green dress adorned with sequins that caught the light with every move. The dress, which cinched at the waist and flowed gracefully to the floor, emphasized her statuesque frame and complemented her radiant complexion. Justine paired the look with statement earrings and a bold clutch, showcasing her fearless approach to fashion.

Their presence together underscored their status as fashion icons, each bringing a distinct yet equally mesmerizing aesthetic to the affair. Hailey Bieber’s classic elegance juxtaposed beautifully with Justine Skye’s daring and contemporary style, demonstrating the versatility of modern fashion.
