Lamborghini quietly unveiled something new (it's not a car)
I may not look like it, but I'm actually a car girlie. I've had the need for speed since I was little. My mom used to joke I could've been the next Danica Patrick. She swore I had a lead foot before I could even reach the pedals. Sure, I still had Barbies. But I made sure they had a hot rod to match. Convertible, cherry red, preferably with a spoiler. Related: Cartier and Van Cleef owner announces surprising year-end results Fast cars have always pulled me in. It's not just about what's under the hood - it's the feeling of motion. Fast, loud, and just dangerous enough to make your heart race. Starting my car daily is still a thrill - that engine growl hits every time. So when two of my passions came together, supercars and luxury fashion, it wasn't just a full-circle was fuel on fire. Image source: Lamborghini Lamborghini has quietly stepped off the track and into something entirely new. As part of a collaboration revealed during Balenciaga's Fall 2025 show, the Italian automaker co-launched an extensive line of ready-to-wear, bags, and accessories that blends speed-driven design with high fashion edge. But this isn't just a logo slap. We're talking oversized racing jackets, motorsport-inspired tees, and even reimagined Balenciaga bags - all featuring Lamborghini's iconic shield emblem. Related: Louis Vuitton, Dior customers get bad news The Rodeo, Hourglass, Explorer, and Carrie silhouettes have been given the supercar treatment. The collection even introduces all-new pieces like the Dashboard Clutch and Temerario key-fob charms, bridging lifestyle with mechanical inspiration in a way that feels (somehow?) totally natural. It's not just about the product, either. According to Hypebeast, Lamborghini and Balenciaga are rolling out immersive in-store experiences worldwide, with things like driving simulators made from real car parts and art installations that elevate auto design into sculpture. This isn't just hype - it's strategic branding at work. For Lamborghini, it's a signal that the brand is evolving beyond performance and prestige. It's leaning into lifestyle, aiming to expand its cultural footprint and stay top-of-mind with a younger, image-conscious generation. By stepping into fashion, Lamborghini gets something that can't be wind-tunneled: relevance. Meanwhile, Balenciaga, now under new creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, is using this high-wattage moment to reassert its identity and creative edge. That timing matters. Kering PPRUY reported that Q1 2025 revenue for its "Other Houses" segment, which includes Balenciaga, was down 11% compared to the same period in 2024. With the group doubling down on its elevation strategy for high-net-worth consumers, this partnership operates as both a brand reset and a bottom-line opportunity. It's a way to drive retail traffic, attract buzz, and stay visible in a crowded luxury landscape. Unlike some automakers' awkward merch attempts, this drop actually makes sense. It speaks to shared values - design, power, presence - and gives both brands cultural currency far beyond their core categories. Whether you're there for the torque or the tote, one thing's clear: this is more than a flex. It's a business play - and a smart one.

Danica Patrick takes ‘trail of blood' jibe at ex-boyfriend Aaron Rodgers
Former race car driver Danica Patrick opened up about her relationship with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, with a 'trail of blood' jibe at her ex-boyfriend. Patrick said that her breakup with Aaron Rodgers was 'the most amount of pain' she's ever experienced. She said this and a lot more during her appearance on The Sage Steele Show. When asked to describe 'the most amount of pain' she's ever felt, the 43-year-old 2008 Indy Japan 300 champion referred to her 2020 breakup with the then Green Bay Packers signal caller. 'The breakup with Aaron in 2020,' she said. Patrick said that the break-up hit her so hard as it was sudden. She also termed her relationship with Rodgers as 'emotionally abusive'. 'It was my life. So, like, when you live with somebody, it's your whole life. And because the nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive, that wore me down to nothing,' the racing icon said. Danica Patrick also jibed at Rodgers, saying that he leaves a 'trail of blood' in his relationships. 'People could never imagine that I would lack any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am. Everything was torn to bits. Yeah, he leaves a trail of blood. I don't think I'm saying too much earth-shattering stuff after we-there's been enough out there,' she added.

Danica Patrick told to change 'poor' outfit again at Indy 500 after F1 demands
Danica Patrick, who is a regular pundit on FOX Sports' NASCAR coverage, appeared in their Indy 500 coverage on Sunday but was urged to 'change her outfit' by some fans NASCAR legend Danica Patrick was told to "change her outfit" during the Indy 500 as she featured on FOX Sports' coverage. Patrick, who has a history in IndyCar racing and is known for her support of US President Donald Trump, often sparks online chatter due to her wardrobe choices or remarks whenever she's on air. This time, at the prestigious Indy 500, it was all about her attire. On Sunday, Patrick opted for a one-shoulder dress for the big event in Indianapolis. A contentious choice, Patrick joined the pre-race panel alongside several high-profile figures to discuss the race - and her outfit was black and white, possibly a tribute to the iconic checkered flag. However, this proved to be polarising. While some fans adored it, others were not so fond of the look. One viewer wrote online: "Get a message to Danica if you can and have her change her outfit for the day. She looks like she has a curtain draped around her," reports the Express US. Another, meanwhile, added: "The black/white diagonally striped dress on Danica Patrick is hideous and shows poorly on TV. How in the heck was such a dress chosen for TV?? Really oblivious decision there." However, it wasn't all distaste for Patrick's outfit, with others coming across as more complimentary. Another fan wrote: "WOW!!! Danica GREAT dress! You look awesome!" It comes as Patrick was slammed by Sky Sports viewers of the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix earlier this month for sporting a one-shoulder dress that cut off above the knee. Some viewers, in-turn, labelled her outfit as a "bedsheet" and a "toga". In the 109th Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Spaniard Alex Palou clinched his first win, beating Marcus Ericsson in an exhilarating race. Palou outperformed 32 other drivers to claim victory in the iconic race for the first time. Patrick has established herself as a prominent figure in both IndyCar and NASCAR. The 43-year-old holds the title of the most successful female in American open-wheel car racing history, with her remarkable win in the 2008 Indy Japan 300 marking the only victory by a woman in an IndyCar Series race. From 2012 to 2018, Patrick competed in the NASCAR Cup Series, finishing with seven top 10s and one pole position across 191 races. Throughout her career on the track, Patrick achieved numerous firsts for women in American racing, including becoming the first woman to win an IndyCar Series race and secure a pole position in the NASCAR Cup series. She also holds the record for the most starts, laps led, and top-tens by a woman in NASCAR Cup Series history.
