Chanel West Coast shows off her bikini body... after sharing the quick way she lost 50lbs of pregnancy weight
Chanel West Coast has shared several pinup bikini photos as she is back in great shape after welcoming her daughter in 2022. The 36-year-old singer had a flat tummy, sculpted arms and lean legs as she modeled a bright pink two piece after having lost 50lbs of pregnancy weight. The West Coast Hustle star added black high heels to elongate her legs as she modeled dark sunglasses. The close pal of Paris Hilton was on outside near bougainvillea in Florida. Her caption read, 'Miami life. Bikini @FashionNova #NovaSwim Fave 1-3?' This comes a year after she admitting to undergoing a 'very serious' liposuction procedure to lose her baby weight after welcoming daughter Bowie. 'I'm really weird about … medications and stuff. I've heard all these things like, if you stop taking the Ozempic, you could possibly gain more weight. And I'm like, "That's definitely not what I want,"' she said on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. The singer had a flat tummy, sculpted arms and lean legs as she modeled a bright pink two piece after having lost 50lbs of pregnancy weight. The West Coast Hustle star, 35, added black high heels to elongate her legs as she modeled dark sunglasses 'I don't want to be stuck having to take something like that for the rest of my life, you know what I mean?' added Chanel. 'So I was just never a fan.' Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro have become popular among celebs in recent years, each with ingredients that mimic hormones in the brain that regulate appetite. 'For everybody [Ozempic] works for, more power to you, dude,' said Chanel. 'If it's working for you and you feel great and it's not effecting your health, then I'm happy for you. 'But I'm kind of scared of stuff like that. I think it's funny that I wasn't scared for lipo and then scared of that. But lipo's like a one-time thing and it's over,' she added. Chanel and partner Dom Fenison welcomed their first child in late 2022, and she wanted to get her pre-pregnancy figure back before filming their upcoming MTV reality series The West Coast Hustle. 'I have been a skinny person my whole life,' she explained. 'I'm one of those people that, you know, I can kind of get away with eating my Taco Bell and In 'N Out and I was just always skinny. 'But after having a baby, my body just completely changed and I could tell,' added Chanel. 'I knew I had this show coming out, I knew I was about to be back in the spotlight, I was about to be working hard on my music again.' The Ridiculousness alum said she 'wanted to be open' about her decision to get the 'very serious procedure.' 'Honestly, it was literally more rough than getting a C-section and giving birth,' she explained. 'And a lot of people aren't open about it. I'm like, "Dude, if more women were open about it, I might have not got it if I knew how rough it was going to be." 'But I wanted to be open about that and show people that yes, I'm getting this procedure and it's going to help me be skinny faster. But it's also rough and a lot to deal with,' added Chanel. Since the Ozempic craze has taken off, some have reported experiencing diarrhea and other side effects.

'Dumpster fire': Retailers urge shoppers to buy now before tariffs raise prices
Retailers bracing for consumer spending to drop are using President Donald Trump's trade war as a marketing strategy, urging consumers to buy now before tariffs lead to price increases or potential shortages. A host of private and direct-to-consumer brands such as Beis, Bare Necessities, Fashion Nova and Knix have mentioned tariffs in marketing campaigns in the weeks since Trump announced his plans for steep so-called reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries. While the administration later temporarily lowered rates for most countries, the announcement sent the retail industry into crisis mode because it is nearly impossible for businesses to plan while they don't know how tariffs will ultimately shake out. Experts widely expect consumer spending will fall, creating challenges for companies big and small that could struggle to weather that storm. Some companies importing goods from China that now face a 145% duty have paused or canceled orders, while those with supply chains in other parts of Asia such as Vietnam and Cambodia are trying to stock up now as higher tariffs are still on pause. The exact impact varies by retailer, sector and brand. But Trump's trade war poses an existential crisis to many retailers that make their money selling consumers products they could ultimately live without. Some brands, such as lingerie store Bare Necessities, did an outright 'pre-tariff sale.' The company offered discounts of around 30% as it told consumers to 'stock up before tariffs hit.' 'Tariffs? No clue. A good deal? We got you. Save up to 30% before prices shift,' Bare Necessities said to customers in a text message. 'We didn't know how to spell tariff last week, but we do know this: up to 30% off is a good idea!' it said in another message. Read More How Facebook Marketplace is keeping young people on the platform Temporarily lowering prices as brands brace for costs to rise might feel counterintuitive, but anything retailers can do to 'shore up their overall financials' ahead of a potential drop off in spending is a smart move, said Sonia Lapinsky, a partner and managing director at consulting firm AlixPartners. 'Retailers should be doing anything they can to get as much demand as possible, as soon as possible, because from our perspective, things are going to really fall off a cliff. … We've been seeing a very skittish customer since about February, March, and it's only gotten worse as the tariff talk has gotten kind of more constant,' said Lapinsky. 'They don't want to give away all the margin now, but it's a trade-off, right? Like it's better to have 80% of the dollars now versus having to clear things or not getting any demand in the door two months from now. I think they're really desperately trying to kind of forecast what this year looks like, and having a really challenging time.' For smaller brands that lack the scale and maturity of their larger counterparts, boosting cash flow before demand falls could be critical to their survival. Tariffs are 'going to impact every business, but I think it's going to impact [smaller companies] more because they have fewer global options from their supply chain,' said Lauren Beitelspacher, a professor of marketing at Babson College in Massachusetts. 'If you think about like a Target and a Walmart, I mean, they definitely have more of a global supply chain where they're able to source from countries all around the world versus smaller brands … they have limited options.' Read More Moosejaw introduces gear, apparel resale program Pre-tariff promotions could be a reason why some spending data in March came in better than expected because some shoppers are making purchases now before prices rise — particularly big-ticket items such as cars. 'People who have the means are hearing all this talk, they're hearing some of the advertisements, and they're actually getting out there shopping so that they can get their purchases in before the prices go up,' said Lapinsky. Other brands, such as luggage company Beis, did not do an outright pre-tariff sale. The brand sent a letter to shoppers explaining it did not know if prices would increase or by how much, but rates would not change — 'for now.' 'Let's skip the corporate-speak: This tariff situation is a complete dumpster fire, and we're all getting burned. Here's the situation: Costs are up, and unfortunately, our prices will have to follow suit,' Beis' team wrote in the letter, adding that it is 'financially traumatized.' 'You're probably wondering what this means for your cart. Unfortunately, so are we. Honestly, we're just as confused as everyone else. But changes are coming. What kind of changes? Don't know. When? Could be tomorrow or … ok we don't know that either.' The company leaned on humor in its message, telling shoppers 'our spreadsheets have spreadsheets,' and said it has considered everything from 'company-wide ramen diets' to an OnlyFans account to avoid raising prices. But within the jokes was a subtle call to action: 'if you've been eyeing something, now might be a good time to make your move, as current pricing remains in effect — for now.' Leaning on humor to discuss a politically divisive topic such as tariffs is strategic because most brands don't want to alienate customers based on their political beliefs, said Barbara Kahn, a professor of marketing at The Wharton School. 'Trying to remove the stink from it … so they don't have to take sides because the tariffs are not only an economic mechanism, they are linked to political beliefs,' said Kahn. 'You are seeing a lot of brands trying to neutralize some of the political statements that they've made in the past and so I think something like humor would diffuse any kind of political issue and just make it into something: 'Here's a good deal. Take advantage of it.''

Fashion Nova is Hilariously Trolling SHEIN and Temu Over Trump Tariffs
The days of getting a $20 table or a $10 dress from SHEIN or Temu could be coming to an end. Beginning May 2, Americans will start paying import duties of up to 145 percent on their orders from China as President Donald Trump gets rid of a loophole that made low-value packages coming from China exempt from tariffs. But while shoppers who depend on those low prices are preparing to feel the pinch, FashionNova is taking advantage of the moment and throwing some not-so-subtle shade at its Chinese competition. The Los Angeles-based company spent almost an entire day trolling Shein and Temu on social media, intentionally pointing out that their customers won't have to be subjected to Trump's new tariffs. 'Tariffs got 'em pressed Fashion Nova got you dressed,' they posted on X on April 29 at 12:56 PM. Just a few hours later, they came back with another blow and a special offer. 'SHE-OUT & TE-MOVED TO FASHION NOVA,' the company wrote in a post on X at 3:35 PM announcing a code that gave customers 40 percent off the already low prices and free one-day shipping on their purchases. Not to be outdone, they posted this image of female customers lined up outside of a FashionNova store on X with the caption, 'SHE-OUT OF BUSINESS.' The White House says the tariffs are being imposed on the 'low-value' packages in a move designed to help stop the flow of fentanyl into the country. 'President Trump is targeting deceptive shipping practices by Chinese-based shippers, many of whom hide illicit substances, including synthetic opioids, in low-value packages to exploit the de minimis exemption,' said a White House spokesperson. Although the tariffs may make some shoppers make the switch to Fashion Nova, one tried and true SHEIN lover says they have no plans to abandon the company. 'I'm still not buying from fashion nova: SHEIN will forever be better and have a full refund !' wrote one person on X. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
