Watch Kanye West Crying in Balmain in New "Wolves" Video
It's a family affair starring Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, plus Sia and Cindy Crawford.
Kanye West dropped his new video for "Wolves," which features his wife, Kim Kardashian, and sister-in-law Kylie Jenner. It's also a Balmain campaign, as teased by the label in recent days, and you'll recognize the outfits Kim and Kanye are wearing from their Met Ball appearance—remember Kim's "sexy, blingy robot" dress and Kanye's pale, eerie contacts?
Sia and Vic Mensa both feature on the track and in the video, which is shot in stark black and white. Models Cindy Crawford, Alessandra Ambrosio, Jourdan Dunn, and Joan Smalls also drop by. Fashion meets flamesssssss.
How to Find the Perfect Pair of Vintage Jeans
This article originally appears in the August 2016 issue of ELLE.
Shopping for jeans is no trifle. Unearthing the perfect pair of vintage jeans—which lack the magic of twenty-first-century stretch and come in limited, often baffling sizes—is a time-consuming, patience-testing task. Unless, that is, The Vintage Twin is doing the legwork for you. Since 2013, the Manhattan-based pop-up founded by twin sisters Samantha and Morgan Elias, 26, has been making the process positively breezy by eliminating the need to rifle through piles of aged wares. Instead, a staff of well-trained "jeaniuses" eyeball each shopper's shape and spirit a surefire winner out of the hundreds of pairs that line the walls.
In 2010, while Samantha was attending the University of Michigan, the Eliases opened a brick-and-mortar shop in Ann Arbor, providing coeds with both reworked vintage and original designs. Three years later, the twins kicked off an ongoing series of NYC pop- ups, where they offer jeans ranging from $75 to $450 and other vintage finds to style bloggers, celebrities (Bella Hadid is a return customer), and—judging by the foot traffic on one recent visit—most of Manhattan's model-off-duty population. "Girls have FOMO," Samantha says. "They will try on 10, 15, 20 pairs and then go back to the first one."
For me, it only takes two. The first, a Levi's 512, fit better than any pair I've ever owned. Still, they lack the spark one hopes for in all relationships, denim included. The second, a royal-blue, '80s straight-leg with a high waist by Lee, look like they've been tailored to my body—and give me a butt that would make Sir Mix-a-Lot proud. After Samantha crops the hem (gratis with the purchase) and Morgan applies one of the store's vintage patches (each $9—I choose a gold heart on the back right pocket), I'm in possession of my perfect jeans. Jeanius training takes "three days to three weeks," Samantha says. Here's our 30-second crash course:
1. When shopping for high-waisted jeans, hold the pair up to your neck—if you can wrap the waistband all the way around so that the edges just touch, they'll likely fit.
2. "Skinny jeans are a thing of this century," Samantha says. If you're looking for an ultra tight fit from hip to ankle, expect to tailor.
3. Break out of your brand comfort zone. "Wranglers get these cool washes," Samantha says. Or if, like me, your waist-to-derriere ratio is low, you might be a Lee girl.
4. For a no-fail DIY hem—and a crop they believe works with all heel heights—cut at the anklebone, then throw in the wash to fray.
5. How to spot a true vintage diehard: selvage. Crisp white edging on the inside of the leg seams is a sign the jeans were handmade. In Samantha's words, "The fit is sublime."
Before And After VFX Shots From Bollywood Movies
These days VFX is the most advanced technology used in movies to give the scene a more realistic look. Visual effects involve the integration of live-action footage and generated imagery to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, expensive, impractical, or simply impossible to capture on film. Here is a list of VFX scenes from recent bollywood movies which looks quite realistic on screen.
1. Once Upon A Time In Mumbai
2. Kick
3. Cocktail
4. Chennai Express
5. Chandni Chowk to China
6. Ra.One
7. Special 26
8. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
9. Student Of The Year
10. Baahubali
Shah Rukh Khan tells you how to get his 8-pack abs
It started with Om Shanti Om and since then King Khan hasn't looked back.
His chiseled abs have made an appearance in films like Happy New Year andDilwale and while he may think it's a myth that girls go gaga over abs, we are very much gaga over his. So how does he do it?
In a 30-minute live feed, the actor introduced fans to his gym, in his house (yes, it's insane) and walked them through his workout regime. We took the liberty of jotting down the most important bits for you. Here's all that you need to know:
Diet
- He doesn't diet, eats twice a day, only lunch and dinner and no meal in-between.
- At home he eats sprouts, grilled chicken, broccoli, sometimes lentils, and that is his food day-in-day-out, everyday. However, he is flexible when he is a guest at someone's house.
- He doesn't have sugar.
- He doesn't drink protein shakes.
- He advises to eat in moderation, and eat everything and anything as long as you clock in a good hour's workout.
Workout
- He exercises post midnight and ends it at around 3am, and then has his dinner. He works out 4-5 times a day depending on the work load and late night shoots.
- He lifts 30-40 pound dumbbells.
- He cycles for cardio, and does it everyday for 30 minutes.
- For an intense workout during cycling, he wears a weighted suit, which weighs around 8-10 kgs.
- He works out for 30 minutes and mixes up his workout.
- He doesn't lift too heavy, doesn't increase his weights, but he fluctuates the reps.
Gym dos and don'ts
- No music
- No phone
- No talking
- Gym for 30 minutes (more or less, depending on the gym routine)
- No AC
- Drink lots of water
- No distractions
- Don't talk to your mirror reflection when working out
The video also revealed some insight into the actor's life. Here are some things you'll find interesting:
1) He doesn't want his chiseled abs! He finds them strange, especially when taking a shower, because the water runs over them like water falling on rocks. So he's changing his workout to make leaner abs.
2) He can't use a bench press because he has weak shoulders.
3) He hates cardio, finds it 'boring', plus he has a broken patella (knee cap) so he cannot run too hard.
4) He watches his favourite shows Breaking Bad, The Night Of, The Night Manager on his iPad while cycling to pass the time.
5) He keeps pictures of himself from Om Shaanti Om because that was the time he initially started working out.
6) 20 years ago he used to hang Hrithik's picture in his gym for motivation.
7) He has had nine surgeries; his shoulders have three screws drilled in, he has a titanium disc, broken patella, hurt ankle, a toe that is gone, three rib fractures and he broke his hipbone during a shoot once.
8) He was a football player, field hockey player, cricket player, and he wanted to be a sportsman.
9) He thinks horse riding is wrong... (we wonder if this happened afterBaazigar)
10) The only sport he admits he cannot do, is swim.
11) His daughter Suhana does ballet, Aryan does karate.
12) He's shy when eating in front of people, so he doesn't eat outside, mainly because he doesn't like being photographed while eating (basically how we feel at shaadis).
13) Two roles that were physically tiring - Fan, because of a lot of running;Koyla, because of the extreme cold weather.
14) His favourite equipment at the gym is the pull-up bar, followed by the vibrating dumbbell, and twisting push-up bar grips.
Sorry Hrithik, until next time!
What went down at the Lux Style Awards 2016
The 15th Lux Style Awards (LSAs) are finally all set to take place tonight at the Expo Centre in Karachi — with a promise of glitz, glam, the whole shebang.
The nominations may feel a bit dated (yep, Sadqay Tumharay is still doing the rounds) but here's hoping the LSAs are able to redeem themselves with a star-studded red carpet and an event that pulls out all stops and is high on entertainment.
We give you the lowdown in real time on who showed up, who wore what and most importantly, who won what.
END OF LIVE UPDATES

Much like Nabila's Best Makeup Artist win, Mahira's win for Best Actress (Film) was too, a no-brainer. Congrats to this beauty for her two big wins tonight!
3.40am

3.30am
Mahira Khan in Feeha Jamshed as she changes for her much-awaited performances.

Ali Zafar pays an ode to all the brave souls who lost their lives this year and the last, including our very own legendary qawwal Amjad Sabri. He is joined by Ali Sethi on stage for a tribute to the slain singer.

After which celebs took to the sage to honour the great Amjad Sabri.

2.00am
Best Emerging Talent went to photographer Alee Hassan!
1.57am
Sohai Ali Abro turns up the heat, again! She did admit she loves to dance, and we love watching her on stage.
Whether she has to bust some serious thumkas or do a slow dance on Kapoor & Son's Bolna this woman can work wonders.
1.55am
Best menswear designer award went to Amir adnan. Though we must admit, we feel cheated, we were really leaning towards Omar Farooq for Republic.

1.45am

Psst, told ya so!
1.40am
Shamaeel Ansari may have gotten the least amount of votes in our poll, but the judges saw what we probably didn't which is why she bagged the Achievement in Fashion Design - Luxury Pret award.
1.35am
On to fashion. So Faraz Manan won Achievement in Fashion Design - Lawn. We were rooting for Elan, oh well...
1.30am
Oh look who's here! The party starter! Fawad Khan is finally at the LSAs even if he is fashionably late (a bit too late if you ask us!).
1.20am
Are the sirens on? Because there sure is fire up on that stage with Farhan Saeed stripping down to a vest.
This couple is inseparable. Check out Urwa and Farhan's dance:
And again:
No, she is (hopefully) not going to slip on stage this year.
1.17am
Okay so Mahira Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi got the Best Dressed award. Fine... maybe we were wrong about vests. They could.. maybe.. be a thing after all.
1.15am
Ali Zafar wins Song of the Year for Rockstar, because he's a rockstar (duh!) and he deserved it! You don't mess with those vocals, sir.
His acceptance speech though, is awesome.
1.10am
Noori's first ever LSA! Well, those 10 years of hard work finally paid off as the team takes home Album of the Year award. Truly well deserved!
1.05am

12.47am
Ladies, to the front! Can you spot all the stars in this photo?
12.45am
Did he dare call the most hated woman on TV, a.k.a Jeena? We love Ayesha Khan though, Jeena... eh, not so much.
12.41am
Because Butt HAD to call the Mann Mayal duo on stage and then have them sing with helium voices? What is happening here?
12.39am
Next up, Humayun Saeed. His find inside the box, however, is a Lux bar, which Butt asks him to sell in his Mc Dreamy style. Not surprisingly, Humayun Saeed calls his best bud, Vasay Chaudhry to get romantic with.
12.37am
But who says he can't be serious and funny, all the same.
He called Hamza Ali Abbasi on stage and said: We love Hamza for speaking the truth. Then asked the Pyarey Afzal actor to reach inside the box, and guess what he found? A tape. Hamza aptly put it on his mouth and said, "Thank-you for banning me from the LSA."
Kudos. Well played, boys. Well played.
12.35am
Trust this funnyman to crack up the audience. He takes to the stage in a blind fold and tries to sniff out the stars! What a riot this guys is, says, "From Meera to Resham to Mahira and now Fawad, Lux has gone far... we prepared actors... for India!"
12.10am
Guess who's firing up the dance floor? The one and only Sohai Ali Abro!

11.55pm
And wouldn't you know it, Mahira Khan wins Best Actress (TV) for Sadqay Tumhare and dedicated her award to her father.
Did you know? Her dad's also in attendance at the awards. In the sea of people, she doesn't know where he's sitting. Cool dad, moral support ftw!
For a minute we thought Mahira was going to have a Jennifer Lawrence moment on stage!
11.50pm
And the award for Best Writer (TV) goes to Khalil-ur-Rehman for Sadqay Tumhare.
Would you believe Ali Zafar praised Khalil ur Rehman and then asked him to write something for the singer. Gotta love the guy for his sense of humour!
He beat Adeel Razzaq for Muqaddas, Farhat Ishtiaq for Diyar-e-Dil, Imran Nazir for Mohabbat Aag Si and Sana Fahad for Rang Laaga.
11.45pm

Other nominees in this category were Shafqat Amanat Ali, Ahmed Jahanzeb, Bushra Bilal and Shafqat Salamat Ali & Beena Khan.

These boys aren't going to go easy. They just joked that the only hits Mahira ever gave were her ads. But she's a good sport about it.

Yasir Hussain and Ali Zafar take the stage as hosts for the night. We're sure they're winning hearts of all the girls there with their charm and charisma.

10.53pm
Usually we like Mawra's quirky style, but this dress is a bit of a let down.
10.50pm
Say hey to Team Images!
10.45pm
Attitude? Check. Fiery hot dress? Check. Sultry look? Double Check. If it were up to us, she'd go home with the Model of the Year award tonight,
10.40pm
Our heart is rooting for this hottie to take home the award tonight for Diyar-e-Dil, but we're not so sure about this jacket.

Oh.Hot.Damn. Ayesha Omar has entered the building, we repeat, Ayesha Omar has entered the building, folks!!
8.55pm
Errr looks like Ali Xeeshan may have forgotten to change out of his pjs/bathrobe before hitting the red carpet. We know Deepika Padukone rocks this trend like nobody's business but we're not sure if he's doing it justice.
8.50pm
Annnnd Mr. and Mrs. Rockstar are ready to get jaws dropping at the LSAs. Mantra for tonight: all black errythang.
