Bhad Bhabie reveals pregnancy in Heaven by Marc Jacobs x Barragán campaign
Relatedly, Rapper and internet personality Bhad Bhabie, née Danielle Bregoli, stars in the Heaven by Marc Jacobs x Barragán campaign, which also served as her pregnancy and gender reveal. (It's a girl!) Photographed by Zamar Velez, the campaign features Bhabie in sports- and locker room-inspired sets. "Marc Jacobs' team reached out to have me shoot for Heaven and it was right before the pregnancy had leaked so they didn't know," Bhabie said in a statement. "When they found out they really wanted to do it still and I did too so we made it happen. It was a quick turnaround but I love how it came out. We thought it would be cool to try and do a gender reveal with the images so we had some fun with it. I'm really just enjoying this whole experience and grateful I have these amazing pictures to share with my daughter one day." See the campaign images below. {Fashionista inbox}

Why stylish guys are suddenly obsessed with ballet flats
Ballet flats have swept through the fashion world as this year's must-have shoe, and the barely-there silhouette is now showing up in men's footwear. Reuben Perin, a buyer at La Garçonne in Tribeca, started wearing ballet flats this year as a comfortable-yet-stylish alternative to loafers. Casey Lewis, who writes for the newsletter After School, thinks that Harry Styles may have started this trend after he wore white dance shoes on the cover of "Harry's House." "We live in a time when silhouettes in general are not so strict in terms of gender. The design and manufacture of our shoes start from classic silhouettes and are reinterpreted without taking into account the gender of the person who will buy or wear them," the co-founders of shoe brand Hereu told GQ. {GQ}
Mundane realities are dominating fashion campaigns
Many luxury brands are embracing everyday situations in their campaigns this year, which is a shift from last year's surrealist stunts. Bottega Veneta is a key example with its Pre-Spring 2024 campaign featuring A$AP Rocky and Kendall Jenner as if they were caught by the paparazzi. The campaign photos were published in TMZ and People, just without the logo; Rocky explained on Instagram that the campaign focused on the "type of photos taken by candid photographers while I do my everyday thing." Gucci also released paparazzi-style campaign photos this year featuring real-life couple Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner in an airport with Gucci luggage. These more relaxed campaigns are a product of the moment, which is dominated by quiet luxury and an interest in relatability. {Business of Fashion/paywalled}
