The vibrant energy of BottleRock Napa Valley intensified on its second day, immersing Napa Valley in a whirlwind of pulsating rhythms and unbridled revelry. The festival grounds buzzed with anticipation as eager music enthusiasts flooded through the gates, ready to embrace another day of sonic enchantment.
On Friday, June 24, 2022 Hollywood Unlocked held its 2nd Annual Impact Awards in Beverly Hills at the historic The Beverly Hilton.
The most lit brunch took place in Miami during Art Basel thanks to author and award winning Chef Kwame along with American Express.
It all went down at the fabulous 1 Hotels in South Beach where guests enjoyed delicious food curated by the former Top Chef contestant/judge himself and sounds by DJ Moma.
“You have everything from chicken and waffles with chili honey, to jerk broccoli tacos to even lobster and salmon rolls and black truffle quiche,” said Chef Kwame about the food on the menu for the brunch festivities.
Chef Kwame’s impressive credentials include: Forbes 30 under 30 honoree, being named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs, and Esquire Magazine’s 2019 Chef of the Year amongst various others. Not to mention his memoir “Notes from a Young Black Chef,” is currently being turned into a feature film by A24.
We got to catch up with him at The Savor and Soul event where we talked about his career and got to try his delicious food first hand. Our personal favorite was the egg and steak on a mini croissant dish. That wasn’t the only thing keeping us entertained though. Heads turned when Issa Rae walked into the party.
The HBO’s Insecure creator mixed and mingled with guests before meeting up with Lizzo who’s appearance at the party also surprised the crowd. Lizzo looked dazzling wearing a purple floral one piece and it wasn’t long before a mini mob follow the two icons around eager to snap pics.
Later that evening Lizzo had a ticketed concert on the beach hosted by American Express as well. Those who might’ve not had tickets for the concert got to see a little glimpse of her at the brunch gathering.
It isn’t everyday you could say you brunched with Lizzo, and Issae Rae amongst the other notable attendees. Not to mention eating bomb food from Chef Kwame. Shout out to American Express!
All the rumors are true, LIZZO performs private concert for American Express Platinum cardholders.
On January 31, Grammy winner Lizzo lit up the stage at the Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl party.
Pepsi is going to rock Super Bowl.
From Angel Olsen to Solange, the words, sounds, and themes from women in music this year were immensely vulnerable, politically-conscious, and pave the way for musicians of the approaching 2020s to experiment further.
The fashion at this year’s American Music Awards red carpet was next level. Selena Gomez returned to the limelight in a lime green mini dress and Dua Lipa strutted in Barbie-doll pink. Summer colors seemed to fit the theme with LA’s lack of Fall at this year’s AMA’s.
Fall has officially started which means festival season is slowly winding down. But as the warm, summer weather still lingers in these last remaining days of September, festival-goers are still going hard.
Amidst all the flurry and fabric of New York Fashion Week, Elle held an event at The Shed to honor its October cover stars, Lizzo, Camila Cabello, and Billie Eilish who they call “brave and bold female artists”.
