Music Legend Claps Back at Piers Morgan Over Beyoncé Comments
Music Legend Claps Back at Piers Morgan Over Beyoncé Comments originally appeared on Parade. Dionne Warwick isn't tolerating Piers Morgan's criticism of Beyoncé. After Beyoncé participated in a Marilyn Monroe-inspired ad campaign for Levi's, Morgan accused the singer of "cultural appropriation." "Very disappointed to see Beyoncé culturally appropriate Marilyn Monroe in her new Levi's ad." he wrote on X. The Levi's campaign shows the Cowboy Carter singer styled with platinum blonde curls, winged eyeliner, and red lipstick, channeling Monroe's old Hollywood aesthetic. Some pointed out similarities to Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle ad, which also promotes a pair of classic American blue jeans. Shortly after Morgan's comments, Warwick took to X to defend the pop star. "Getting involved in women's business again, I see…" the music legend wrote. Fans immediately took to the replies to react to Warwick's unexpected defense of Beyoncé "It's giving obsessed" one fan wrote about Morgan alongside a crying emoji, to which Warwick replied, "Correct." "Whack him again" said another commenter. "Dionne we are always living for your Twitter clapback." added a third. Some members of the Beyhive were surprised by Warwick's comment due to her previous criticism of the singer. In 2019, the hitmaker sparked controversy when she said Beyoncé had yet to reach icon status. "I have an admiration for Beyoncé Knowles, Carter now. Watching her growth has been quite refreshing. It's wonderful to see how she's been able to create what and who she wanted to be and who she is… very proud of that, I really am," Warwick told Essence at the time. "Now sustaining and becoming a big icon that Gladys Knight, or Patti LaBelle, or Johnny Mathis, or Frank Sinatra, or Sammy Davis Jr. is? I doubt that," Warwick continued. "I love her to death and can appreciate her talent. But that iconic status? It's a long road [ahead]." After her comments went viral, Warwick quickly clarified what she really meant. "It takes a long time to reach and achieve iconic status," Warwick said. "That's not to say that Beyoncé isn't well on her way. She is a gifted performer. That was a reach from Essence."

SZA Joins Vans As Artistic Director
Summary The era of VanSZA is upon us. A fan ofVans– especially Knu Skools – since her early days,SZAnow gets to take an active role in the brand's innovation, officially signing on as its Artistic Director, marking the start of a multi-year partnership. Connecting over a shared playful, creative synergy, SZA's position at Vans will allow her to 'reimagine upcoming campaigns and co-create exclusive product collections that fuse her unique vision with the brand's creative and youthful spirit.' The press release continues to explain how the singer's energy aligns effortlessly with the ethos of the brand's mantra, writing: 'In her, we see the essence of Off the Wall.' 'In Vans, I feel free!' SZA added, the new collaborative endeavor indicating her second major foray into the footwear space; she designed her first Crocs collaboration in May of 2022, followed by a second one that December. But it's her innate connection with Vans that makes this pair-up feel perfect. 'I've been wearing Knu Skools and other styles for years; they've always had an ethos I connect with,' she continued, the silhouette signalling the centerfold of her first campaign in the role. Lensed by Sophie Jones, SZA's first Vans visuals lean into the beauty in vulnerability, 'As Artistic Director, my mission is to show that joy, community, creativity, and fashion are all still intersectional. That humanity, culture, and connection are still the access points. I've learned that bravery and curiosity are the cures for uncertainty; it's a lifestyle, and Vans champions that spirit. They stand where I stand, and I'm honored to invite a whole bunch of people to stand Off the Wall with us.'
