Beyoncé Wears a Historic 128.54 Carat Tiffany Diamond in Front of a Rare Basquiat Painting

Tiffany & Co.'s new campaign "About Love" celebrates one of the greatest modern love stories between JAY-Z and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. As a collaboration between the Carters and Tiffany & Co., About Love features Beyoncé wearing a historic 128.54 carat Tiffany yellow diamond with a '60s-inspired black gown that references Audrey Hepburn's character in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). The Carters also pose in front of Jean-Michel Basquiat's never-before-seen "Equals Pi" (1982) painting for the couple's first campaign together - and a new creative vision for the jewelry brand under LVMH.

"Beyoncé and JAY-Z are the epitome of the modern love story," Tiffany & Co.'s executive vice president Alexandre Arnault said in a press statement. "As a brand that has always stood for love, strength and self-expression, we could not think of a more iconic couple that better represents Tiffany's values. We are honored to have the Carters as a part of the Tiffany family."

"Love is the diamond that the jewelry and art decorate." - The Carters

In the About Love campaign, the incredible 128.54 carat Tiffany yellow diamond worn by Beyoncé is being shown to the public for the very first time. The historic diamond was unearthed in 1877 from the Kimberley Mines in South Africa and is one of the largest gemstone discoveries of the 19th century. Tiffany & Co. founder Charles Lewis Tiffany purchased the diamond in 1878, which positioned Tiffany as a diamond authority for many generations to come. Equally beautiful is the rare Tiffany blue Basquiat painting that sets the backdrop for the Carters's new campaign. "Equals Pi" (1982) was loaned to Tiffany & Co. from a private collection to make its public debut to the worlds of art, culture, and jewelry. As part of Tiffany's partnership with the Carters, the brand has also pledged $2 million towards scholarship and internship programs for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with more details to come.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
