THE 2018 GRAMMYS
January 28 | New York, New York
With the series of award shows for film and TV making headlines over the past few weeks, it was the music scene that stole the limelight with the Grammys the other weekend. Bruno Mars won big with 24K Magic winning Album of the Year, Best R&B Album, and Best Engineered Non Classical Album, and his track “That’s What I Like” hailed as Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance, and Best R&B Song.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble.” music video was named Best Music Video, the soundtrack album of film La La Land became the Best Compilation Soundtrack and Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, Best New Artist went to Alessia Cara, and Ed Sheeran received the Best Pop Solo Performance for his record “Shape of You.” And no one else was happy about that last part.

BLACK PANTHER RED CARPET PREMIERE
January 29 | Los Angeles, California
Bucking the red carpet tradition for major entertainment events, the Black Panther global premiere chose to do a purple version, the better to roll out the cast’s African royalty-inspired looks.

Michael B. Jordan, while staying safe in a navy double-breasted Calvin Klein suit, made a subtle reference to the dress code through the embellished collar on his shirt. Black Panther lead actor Chadwick Boseman (whose style during the film’s promotional events we have broken down) arrived in a double-breasted jacquard Emporio Armani jacket and pants, and Donald Glover looked like total eye candy in his jewel-toned Dolce & Gabbana suit from the label’s spring/summer 2018 show.
