Each week, GRAZIA Singapore brings you the latest happenings in pop culture. From celebrity sightings you might have missed to the newest ambassador announcements in the world of fashion, here is what you need to know from the week of 30 March to 5 April.
The Newest Faces of Bottega Veneta
Luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta has minted Dew Jirawat and Thanaerng as its newest brand ambassadors, once again proving that Southeast Asian celebrities are on the rise in the world of fashion. As art enthusiasts, the two Thai actors were selected as Bottega Veneta’s new faces for their passion for fine arts, fashion and acting.
Anne Hathaway and Cillian Murphy Stun in Versace’s New Campaign
The new Versace Icons campaign brought together acting veterans Anne Hathaway and Cillian Murphy. While Hathaway has been a face of the Italian fashion house since 2023, the Oppenheimer star just joined the brand in March this year. Both actors were handpicked by Donatella Versace herself for this campaign, regarding which, she says, “Strong, direct, iconic. For me, Anne and Cillian are two of the best actors of today. Exceptionally talented and kind people I admire and respect, looking their best. Very Versace.”
Taylor Swift Is A Member of The Billionaires Club
Forbes officially declared Miss Swift a billionaire earlier this week. Though there had been chatter prior regarding Taylor’s earnings from the ongoing Eras Tour (the world’s first billion-dollar tour), it was only recently that Forbes cemented the singer-songwriter’s status as a billionaire. Taylor’s substantial real estate portfolio, which includes multiple properties across the US, is another driving force behind her funds, beyond her behemoth of a discography.
In other news, Swifties can also look forward to the release of her upcoming album, the Tortured Poets Department on 19 April.
Celebrities at Maison Kitsuné Pop-up in Seoul
Following the news of Jennie as the face of Maison Kitsuné’s new Baby Fox campaign last week, the Parisian label opened the doors to a new Baby Fox pop-up in Seoul, Korea. While the Blackpink singer wasn’t at the event, a number of Korean stars made their appearances at the pop-up, including Chae-won from girl group Le Sserafim, as well as BIBI.
If you’re planning to visit Seoul this April, pop by the Maison Kitsuné space to check out the Baby Fox collection for yourself.
