Kylie Jenner has stripped back her latest fashion campaign in the most literal sense, posing nude in heels for Khy’s first footwear collection.

The 29-year-old appears in the campaign images wearing little more than the shoes and her long dark hair. One image shows her in metallic heels, while another features a wedge style, putting the focus firmly on Khy’s new footwear range.

The campaign marks Khy’s move into footwear through a collaboration with Italian shoe label Gia Borghini. The collection launches on August 21 and includes three styles made in Italy.

Among them is the Studio Thong, a black leather design, alongside the Muse Thong, which comes in black leather, chocolate pony hair and metallic chrome. The Icon Sandal is a strappy heel with buckled detailing, available in white leather and metallic chrome.

Jenner had already given fans an early look at one of the designs before the campaign was released. In June, she wore the metallic Icon Sandal while sitting courtside at Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. She paired the heels with straight-leg jeans, a white vest top and a denim jacket.

The appearance offered a preview of the collection before its official launch. Jenner later referred to the shoes as her “courtside favourites”, adding to the anticipation around the release.

For the campaign itself, Khy has taken a noticeably stripped-back approach. With Jenner wearing no conventional clothing, the shoes become the main product being presented rather than one element of a complete outfit. The styling also fits with the revealing imagery Jenner has frequently used across her fashion and beauty campaigns.

The footwear launch gives Khy another category beyond its clothing collections. Since launching in 2023, the brand has released a range of pieces spanning leather, denim, swimwear and other wardrobe staples, while also working with outside brands and designers.

The collaboration with Gia Borghini brings a distinctly footwear-focused element to the label, with the collection concentrating on styles that can be worn with casual outfits as well as more dressed-up looks. Jenner’s NBA Finals appearance demonstrated one way she has already styled the Icon Sandal, pairing the metallic finish with everyday denim.

The campaign, however, is likely to be remembered for Jenner’s decision to go without clothing altogether. Rather than using a full outfit to present the shoes, Khy has made the footwear the only major fashion element in the images.

The collection will be available from August 21, giving shoppers their first opportunity to buy the three Khy x Gia Borghini styles Jenner has been promoting ahead of the launch.

Travis Barker has revealed the simple relationship rule he and Kourtney Kardashian Barker follow in their marriage: they do not go to bed angry.

The Blink-182 drummer opened up about the couple’s approach to marriage while discussing his new documentary, Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear. Barker said the rule is one they have maintained throughout their relationship, offering a rare glimpse into how they handle disagreements behind closed doors.

“We never go to bed angry,” Barker said.

It is a straightforward rule, but one that says plenty about how the couple approach conflict. Instead of allowing an argument to linger without acknowledgement, Barker and Kardashian make a point of addressing what is wrong before ending the day.

The couple have been together since 2021, after years of friendship and knowing each other. They married in 2022, first holding a private ceremony in Santa Barbara before celebrating with a larger wedding in Portofino, Italy. In November 2023, they welcomed their first child together, son Rocky Thirteen.

Their relationship also brought together their existing families. Barker has two children, Landon and Alabama, with his former wife Shanna Moakler, as well as stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya. Kardashian shares three children, Mason, Penelope and Reign, with her former partner Scott Disick.

That makes communication particularly important for a couple managing a busy family life alongside demanding careers. Barker is regularly on tour with Blink-182, while Kardashian runs her businesses and continues to appear on television and social media.

The pair have also experienced difficult moments together. Kardashian previously spoke publicly about the miscarriage she experienced during their fertility treatment, while Barker was by her side during the pregnancy that eventually led to the birth of Rocky.

Their relationship has often played out in front of an audience, from their early romance to their wedding celebrations and family life. But Barker’s latest comments offer a glimpse at a less visible part of their marriage: how they deal with disagreements when there is no camera around.

The rule also fits with the way Barker has spoken about the relationship in the past. Rather than presenting marriage as free of conflict, his comments suggest that disagreements are expected and that what matters is how the couple deal with them.

Barker’s documentary, Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear, looks at his life and career, including the 2008 plane crash that left him with serious injuries and the years of recovery that followed. Kardashian features in the film alongside people close to the drummer.

For Barker and Kardashian, the marriage rule itself is uncomplicated. Arguments may happen, but they do not want anger to be the last thing between them at the end of the day.

Ariana Grande has fuelled speculation that she and Ricky Alvarez have rekindled their romance after featuring him in a recent Instagram post.

The singer included Alvarez in an Instagram photo dump on 12 August, sharing two pictures of them together. In one, the pair posed in front of a mirror in matching outfits, while another showed them standing close together. Grande also tagged Alvarez in the post, adding to speculation about their relationship.

Grande and Alvarez were first linked in 2015, when Alvarez was one of her dancers during her Honeymoon Tour. They dated for around a year before splitting in 2016, but remained friends afterwards.

Speculation about a reunion resurfaced earlier this year after Alvarez was spotted at Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour, including her Brooklyn show. Grande also made changes to the Alvarez-related lyric during performances of “Thank U, Next”, prompting fans to speculate that the former couple had grown close again.

By July, reports suggested that Grande and Alvarez were seeing each other again and taking things slowly. Grande was also said to value Alvarez’s friendship, humour and support.

Alvarez has remained part of Grande’s circle since their split, and their renewed closeness has become increasingly visible through his appearances during her tour.

Grande’s decision to feature and tag Alvarez on Instagram marks a more public display of their connection. However, neither has publicly confirmed the status of their relationship.

Alvarez also reposted some of Grande’s images on his own Instagram account, giving fans another indication that they are spending time together again.

The pair’s current social-media activity is more public than it was during their first relationship. Alvarez was already familiar with Grande’s world through their time working together, and the two continued their friendship after their 2016 split.

For now, Grande and Alvarez appear to be keeping things relatively private despite their recent Instagram posts. After months of sightings, tour appearances and speculation surrounding Grande’s performances, her latest post has added further weight to rumours that the former couple may be back together.
