Anwar Hadid releases new single and music video
All hail Anwar! In addition to a stellar modeling career, the youngest Hadid sib is adding punk singer to his resume. Last night saw the release of his new single “Off@Night,” along with an edgy neo-noir music video. The song is Hadid’s first musical release in two years, following the 2019 drop of his rock album “Bleach” (both are released under his apt stage name, Anwar). The 21-year-old’s girlfriend of two years, Dua Lipa, additionally celebrated the launch by sharing snaps of a romantic dinner the pair had in London on Instagram—including a “Congrats A+” cake! Time will tell if we’ll see the two collaborating in the future—but we’ll be blasting “Off@Night” in the meantime!

Diane von Furstenberg is ready for awards season—and she’s teamed up with the Academy Awards to celebrate. Alongside co-hosts Cynthia Erivo, Jacqueline Stewart, and Dawn Hudson, the designer is marking the occasion by partnering with the Academy Museum (of which she’s a trustee) to release a compilation video.
