However, a security guard stationed inside the Chanel store allegedly refused to allow the pop icon entry.Rather than reacting with frustration, Lopez, dressed in a coordinated baby pink outfit with matching sunglasses, is said to have responded simply, 'OK, no problem,' before walking away without further comment.Later, employees from the boutique reportedly attempted to make amends by inviting her back inside. Lopez, however, declined the offer.Instead, she continued her shopping spree at nearby luxury brands , including Celine and Beymen, where she reportedly spent tens of thousands of dollars.Lopez is currently on her 19-stop summer tour 'Up All Night,' which began in Vigo, Spain, on July 8 and is set to wrap up in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on August 10.

Louis Vuitton Is Selling Lipsticks Worth Rs 14,000. Who Will Buy, Asks Instagram
In a world where luxury is no longer defined solely by haute couture or handbags, Louis Vuitton is betting that beauty is the next frontier. The renowned brand is entering the beauty space with a makeup range that only a fashion juggernaut could pull off. On Tuesday, the French maison officially launched La Beaute Louis Vuitton, its first-ever makeup collection, in collaboration with legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath. But what's making headlines isn't just the collaboration - it's the price tag. So, how much is a single Louis Vuitton lipstick worth? Approximately Rs 14,000 (or USD 160). Meanwhile, an eyeshadow palette comes in at around Rs 21,000 (USD 250). Naturally, the Internet had opinions. "Absolutely tone-deaf and honestly desperate-looking. This brings nothing of worth to the beauty table - just another logo-cashing venture to be dispensed to influencers for TikTok posting," one user commented. Another wrote, "There is no reason a lipstick should cost USD 160. For that price, it should apply itself to my lips." A third chimed in, "There is absolutely no justifiable reason for this." And perhaps that's exactly the point. Louis Vuitton isn't just selling makeup - it's selling a very specific kind of luxury, one that doesn't blink at four-digit receipts for beauty products. The packaging alone, designed by acclaimed industrial designer Konstantin Grcic, features collectible cases embellished with the house's iconic Monogram and Damier motifs. The launch, first teased in March, officially kicks off in China on August 20, followed by a global digital release on August 25. It will then arrive in select Louis Vuitton boutiques and on online platforms worldwide starting August 29. While fashion houses like Chanel, Dior, and YSL have long used cosmetics as accessible entry points into their brand universes, Louis Vuitton has taken a different path. Instead of courting the masses, it's doubling down on its core clientele - the ultra-wealthy consumers who don't just buy luxury; they live it. And while the rest of the beauty industry braces for slowed growth and more budget-conscious shoppers, Louis Vuitton is, in essence, shrugging. Why sell millions of units when you can sell hundreds - at USD 160 a pop? If there's one thing Louis Vuitton is counting on, it's that the right kind of customer won't ask that question at all.

South Korean vlogger flashes ‘peace sign' in Turkey, told by locals it means something else: ‘Most fragile nation'
A South Korean traveller's innocent selfie gesture in Turkey has turned into a viral talking point online. Content creator Tyongee was visiting the country when she struck a typical peace-sign pose for the camera. But almost immediately, two men stopped her and told her that the gesture was not acceptable in Turkey. In her Instagram post sharing the clip, she admitted, 'I did not know at all! It's amazing how I get to learn a new culture and manner whenever I travel.' In the video, the men explain that while the V-sign means 'peace' in many countries, in Turkey it is associated with terrorism. One of them tells her, 'In your culture, it means peace, but unfortunately in Turkey, it is raised about terrorism,' leaving her surprised. Curious, she then asks if making a finger-heart–another popular Korean gesture–is fine, and the men say yes. A post shared by Tyongeee 툥이 (@tyongeee) The clip has stirred debate among viewers. Some Turkish users online clarified that the peace sign isn't officially banned, but it carries sensitive associations. One person wrote, 'I'll explain: this sign is, of course, originally the peace sign. However, in our country, since it is often used by terrorist kurds, it has left a negative impression on the Turkish public. It is not banned, but its use is generally frowned upon, and people may look at you differently. For years, the terrorist kurds who have caused us great suffering in our country have unfortunately tainted this beautiful sign for us and made it evoke negative feelings. Thank you for your understanding.' Others, however, pushed back. A Turkish commenter said, 'As a Turkish, I never heard that sign is banned:) they just made it up… We use it and it's super common.' Another quipped, 'I ain't doing any signs if I'm traveling internationally.' Many viewers appreciated the respectful way both sides handled the situation, with one remarking, 'They were respectful, the girl was respectful, that's how people should talk every time.'
