Nicki Minaj

Boi-1da isn’t one for repetition — he’s an explorer of sound. Throughout his run as a top-booking producer, he’s fused his love of hip-hop, reggae, dancehall, R&B, and other genres in pursuit of the next sonic wave, and he’s done it by refusing to limit his creative ambitions.

“I don't like to just do the same thing,” Boi-1da said. “I'll get bored and just feel like doing something completely outside of the box just to challenge myself or push myself. And it's good for the mind. You sit there and make a million rap songs, beats, ideas, and whatnot. But then sometimes I just want to do something different and just get outside of my box and comfort zone.”

ITVX's landmark comedy 'Deep Fake Neighbour Wars' boasts a stellar line-up of A-listers including Idris Elba, Adele and Harry Kane - with viewers able to watch on as Nicki Minaj and Tom Holland share a sofa in hot pink tracksuits and argue with their neighbour Stormzy. The comedy, which launched on ITV's streaming service on 26 January, presents AI-generations of these famous faces, who have a 'spot-on' likeness to their real counterparts, to an audience in the UK's first ever deepfake comedy.

Givenchy's iconic Shark boot, which some refer to as the "foldover" boot, has seen several iterations since it was first introduced in 2012. At that time, it was famously worn by Kim Kardashian in black and cream. The appeal of the original knee-high style could be attributed to its leg-lengthening effect, with a 3.5-inch heel hidden beneath a tall leather column. Since Matthew M. Williams took on the role of creative director in 2020, the Shark boot has been reimagined with the addition of chunky hardware at the top: the Givenchy padlock. Whether in silver, gold, or black, the touch of metal provides an edgy embellishment, as do the treaded lug soles on some of the more recent versions.

Celebrities such as Dua Lipa and Venus Williams showcased their affinity for the ankle version on Instagram, with the 27-year-old musician using them to balance out a basic jersey tunic dress and metallic bag, and the tennis pro toughening up a peplum top. With Nicki Minaj selecting one of the more striking, two-tone colourways to cap off a checked outfit, the temptation to reach for a bolder style is undeniable. When personality and seasonality come into play, one can make a case for anything from a python finish to a cosy shearling inner lining.
