Images of the Week: Happy Birthday Beyoncé!

Images of the Week: Happy Birthday Beyoncé!

Plus, the Venice Film Festival red carpet kicks off.

It’s Labor Day Weekend and while many around the country are settling in for the last days of summer, fashion and fame never sleep. Let’s start with congratulations to Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. The two supermodels added yet another hyphenate to their titles. Hadid became the co-founder of Kin Euphorics, a nonalcoholic adaptogenic drink; Jenner joined the luxury retailer FWRD as creative director.

Beyoncé is celebrating her 40th birthday today, and we bet she’s celebrating in style. As she just starred in a new campaign with Tiffany & Co, decked out in 200 carats of diamonds, we wouldn’t be surprised if she’s getting a similarly glitzy present from Jay-Z this year.

Across the pond in Italy, there isn’t a more stylish place to be than Venice. Not only is the Venice Film Festival kicking off (did you see Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya on the red carpet together? Instantly iconic) but Dolce & Gabbana also staged their Alta Moda show there last weekend.

Below, see the images of the week.



Kendall Jenner has a new job as the creative director of FWRD, where she hopes to champion emerging designers.
