The French fashion house partnered with artist Es Devlin for a multisensory sculptural installation that included a forest of over 1,000 plants and trees. Rosalia gave a surprise performance Friday night to celebrate Chanel’s iconic fragrance. Kid Cudi and Erykah Badu performed at an after-party where dozens of dancing red drones blazed the skyline to write “Virgil was here.”įashion brand Burberry and W magazine hosted a party attended by models Karlie Kloss and Candice Swanepoel, along with Camila Coelho, A$AP Ferg, and Meadow Walker. But the lavish affair, where guests where ferried to an island by private yacht, turned into an emotional tribute after legendary 41-year-old designer Virgil Abloh died suddenly just days before the show. The highlight of the week was Louis Vuitton’s first ever U.S. Everyone from Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Joe Jonas were spotted around town. But over the years, Miami has put its own spin on the affair, which has become a magnet for celebrities. The annual event, which was canceled last year during the pandemic, is an extension of the prestigious art show in Switzerland.
(AP) - The over-the-top parties and star-studded shows surrounding Miami’s Art Basel wrapped up this weekend with performances by Rosalia, Lizzo, Cardi B and rocker Lenny Kravitz. And while she’s won so many Grammys (15) that she eventually took over the ceremony as host in 20, Keys invested the normally scripted role with the same sort of casual cool and off-the-cuff intimacy that have made her America’s most down-to-earth R&B queen.MIAMI BEACH, Fla. But from her lofty position, she’s been eager to dismantle the oppressive, male-gaze-oriented beauty standards applied to pop divas-after appearing on the cover of 2016’s Here without makeup, Keys made that natural look her red-carpet signature.
She’s continued to put up hall-of-fame numbers: in her first two decades, Keys never had an album chart lower than No. Keys’ combination of elegant songcraft and raw attitude would give hits like “Fallin’” (2001) and “No One” (2007) ample crossover appeal among pop, R&B and adult-contemporary audiences, and she carved out a place in the rap canon thanks to her skyscraping chorus on JAY-Z’s ubiquitous 2009 anthem “Empire State of Mind”. The artist born Alicia Augello Cook in 1981 was classically trained but a product of the streets, raised by a single mother in a rough Hell’s Kitchen neighbourhood from which piano-playing offered sanctuary. As R&B hurtled toward the future in the early 2000s and pop was achieving new levels of gloss, Alicia Keys stood out not just as a torchbearer for organic, old-school soul, but as a quadruple threat-captivating singer, skilled keyboardist, pop-savvy songwriter and ambitious producer-rarely seen since the heydays of Stevie Wonder and Prince.
