Look Of The Week Julia Fox Takes The New Trend In The Low-Profile Design To New Levels.

Since her relationship with Kanye West in 2021, Julia Fox has been known for her sartorial unpredictability. Her DIY-ing a bandeau top and matching bottoms out of a single pair of jeans using just a pair of scissors, as well as her now quintessential finger-painted black eyeliner look, have made her the enfant terrible of celebrity fashion. Last Friday, singer-songwriter and actress FKA twigs was spotted wearing centaur-inspired leather trousers with a plunging V-crotch and a pair of black string bikini top at a show in New York City.

Shares Of Alibaba Were Sliding After The US Threatened To Remove The Company From The Exchanges.

Alibaba shares fell after the Securities and Exchange Commission announced on Friday that it had added Alibaba to a watchlist of Chinese firms whose stock may be kicked off Wall Street if US auditors cannot inspect their financial statements. On Monday, Alibaba's US-listed shares plunged 11%, but later recovered some of those losses. Concern about Alibaba has been brewing for years.
