Fashion publication GQ has named music artist Pharrell Williams “Hitmaker of the Year 2o13“. Some of his biggest hits in 2013 so far are “Blurred Lines” and “Get Lucky“. “Both songs are for people who need a break,” he says. “There’s a lot of fucked-up travesty in the world. Sometimes you just need a Hallmark card. Sometimes you just need to shake your ass.”

Williams also produced songs for Jay-Z, Pusha T, Miley Cyrus and Tyler, the Creator in 2013.

The 40-year-old chart-topper music artist flaunts his unique style in designer brands including Gucci, Maison Kitsuné, Billionare Boys Club, Chanel, Céline, Comme des Garçons Play, and Selentino for his fashion spread.

Beyonce Films Visual In NYC: She Styles In A $3,195 Burberry Metal Plate Vinyl Trench Coat

YDBR can confirm that Beyoncé secretly filmed a new visual in NYC last night Tuesday (November 19). This is the second visual that she filmed so far for her new album which is rumored to be dropping by the summer of next year (2014). Back in August, Bey filmed a visual in Brooklyn’s Coney Island Park for her upcoming single “XO“. See the original post here!

Yesterday evening on a chilly Manhattan night, Bey invaded the streets in a $3,195 Burberry Metal Plate Vinyl Trench Coat paired with silver pumps and went to work. At the time of the press, I am not able to confirm what song she filmed a visual for.

Bey is giving us fashion in her Burberry trench. Bey’s velvet-finish vinyl trench coat features polished metal detailing, unlined for a translucent appearance, the vinyl contrasts with hand-applied epaulettes, topcollar and pocket trims in bold polished metal. The metal belt featured is not supplied. You can purchase this coat at Burberry.
