ECHOES

Kim Kardashian West   put a lavish twist on what would otherwise be an average day of running errands. The reality star took runway fashion to the streets on Sunday, pairing an oversized purple t-shirt and white sneakers with a $35,000 Dior saddle bag. The metal purse features gold details and a matching silver strap. The pricey accessory is one of only 10 produced, according to  Vogue   — the outlet said the exclusive piece is "a collector’s piece worthy of a museum." The bag made its debut in Dior's prefall collection show in Japan in 2018, with Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama collaborating on the accessory, according to the Robb Report . The beauty mogul is no stranger to sporting couture looks in her day-to-day life — and has credited husband   Kanye West   with helping her to further develop her fashion sense. "I really do get all of my inspiration from my husband," Kardashian West, 38, told PEOPLE in September 2018 of the Yeezy designer. ...

Kylie Jenner 's  new brand, Kylie Skin , is getting backlash from fans before it's even officially launched. One product in the collection, the Walnut Face Scrub, uses crushed walnut as a physical exfoliant, which many fans claim is too abrasive on the skin and can cause more harm than good. "Kinda shocked Kylie’s scrub is a walnut scrub. That sounds so 2013 right? Lmao I don’t mean it in a bad way but aren’t those types of scrubs too abrasive for the skin? Don’t they cause like tiny scratches? I feel like I don’t see them anymore," beauty influencer  Kathleen Fuentes tweeted .

Another KarJenner sister is facing criticism over their beauty line. Kim Kardashian West 's casting call for her beauty line KKW caught the attention of  James Charles  on Tuesday — he was named the  first male CoverGirl in 2016  — for solely asking women to try out for the modeling opportunity. Charles, 18, tweeted at Kardashian West, writing, "Sister  @ KimKardashian ! There are thousands of boys in cosmetics who love you & I’m sure would be honored to slay a photo shoot for you! This is disappointing," while also adding a frown emoji. Charles was also one of the few bloggers chosen to be by Kardashian's side when she first released the product earlier this year. The beauty star shared the casting notice on Twitter, which read, "Calling all faces! We are excited to announce an open model casting call in the LA area for several upcoming KKW beauty campaigns." "Kim is a legend and personally one of my role models!" he tweeted. "I...

“Hugh M. Hefner, the American icon who in 1953 introduced the world to  Playboy magazine and built the company into one of the most recognizable American global brands in history, peacefully passed away today from natural causes at his home, The Playboy Mansion, surrounded by loved ones,” a rep for the Playboy Enterprises founder said in a statement to PEOPLE. “My father lived an exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer and a leading voice behind some of the most significant social and cultural movements of our time in advocating free speech, civil rights and sexual freedom. He defined a lifestyle and ethos that lie at the heart of the Playboy brand, one of the most recognizable and enduring in history. He will be greatly missed by many, including his wife Crystal, my sister Christie and my brothers David and Marston, and all of us at Playboy Enterprises,” said Cooper Hefner, his son and Chief Creative Officer of Playboy Ente...

It’s the end of an era: The Playboy Mansion has sold! The Playboy Mansion is in escrow with nearby neighbor Daren Metropoulos as the buyer, a Playboy spokesperson told PEOPLE. Although they can confirm the house is in contract, the representative declined to give additional details, including the sale price. The iconic site located in Los Angeles was listed in January for $200 million. Besides the steep price tag, the sale also comes with another stipulation: The buyer has to allow Hugh Hefner a life estate so he can remain in the home until his death. But Metropoulos, 32, seems to be up for it, as PEOPLE can confirm that  Hefner  and wife, Crystal, will continue to live in the Mansion. This isn’t Metropoulos’s first experience with Hefner in the real estate market, either. In 2009, Metropoulos, a principal at private-equity firm Metropoulos & Co., purchased his current property from Hefner for $18 million, according to  ...
