I love Olivier Rousteing so much! And I was very excited when he shared a little preview of his Paper Magazine cover with Jennifer Lopez on his instagram (Photographed by Nicolas Moore, styled by Rob and Mariel)! So, days later we finally get to see the full spread and it looks amazing.
Olivier, I want to know what your definition of luxury is.
Rousteing: For me, luxury today is confidence in assuming who you are, where you are, no matter where you come from. And that's what I think I do with Balmain. A lot of people say it's a party dress or something, and I think Jennifer explained pretty well that she wants to wear it onstage. When you want to wear something onstage, you want to wear it not because it's a party dress, but because it's armor. It's something you feel really strong in that you're going to show to the world.
And your muses are always these beautiful, sexy women who are also very strong.
Rousteing: Yeah. For me, Balmain is almost feminist. It's about the power of girls and women in the world. And that's why I love Jennifer. All the muses that have inspired me are really strong and they sometimes fight against the world to show their own rules, which I think Jennifer did throughout her career and she's still doing it. You see many stars today try to look like her. She imposes her own rules. And when I think, "What is the Balmain girl?" it's this. It's a woman who knows what she wants and is going to express it.
Lopez: The concept of a fearless, strong woman who radiates confidence inside and out is an inspiring idea. It's a great thing for young girls and women to see Balmain's muses illustrated by these ideas of strength and beauty. For them it's about a woman who creates her own destiny and forges her own future.

Dior has released its first cologne, Sauvage, in 10 years and of course they enlisted the one and only Johnny Depp as its spokesmodel!
This is the first year where I actually missed the Teen Choice Awards but I still enjoyed seeing what the stars wore on the red carpet. These celebs are getting younger and younger I must say, but there were still a few familiar faces like Lea Michele, Shay Mitchell, and even Britney Spears! Which, I don't understand how she was given the "Style Icon" award....I guess they were really looking for an excuse to get her there!
