The very first iteration of the Rolls-Royce Starlight Headliner was developed in 2006. Equipped with 800 stars, the innovation was in response to who requested a sift dispersed lighting environment in his Rolls-Royce Phantom due to a sensitivity to light. The Bespoke Collective of designers, engineers, and craftspeople worked relentlessly to develop this technology, extending it to the entire length of the roof and varying the intensity of light emitted by each star to reflect the night sky.
Each star is lit by a single strand of fiber optic cable, hand threaded and cut at a unique angle, and lit by up to six powerful compact light canons. The constellation of each Starlight Headliner can be unique to the owner representing an important point in the timeline of their personal story. The typical headliner takes nine hours to craft, but a personalized pattern needs its own template, which can take as long as a week to complete. Two Rolls-Royce craftspeople work in tandem with this extraordinary feature. It’s the perfect marriage of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary technology.
First, the leather is perforated with 1,400 to 1,600 holes, each carefully counted. Fiber optic threads, which are hand-trimmed at different angles to achieve a twinkling effect, are set into these holes by hand. The craftsperson then ensures that the fibers are perfectly seated on the visible leather surface.
The Starlight Headliner can take on any personalized aesthetic, depicting constellations exactly as they were on any day in modern history. The work of art can feature Bespoke colours, graphics, shooting stars, and even illuminated wood veneer. One owner requested that the lights be configured in the shape of his coat of arms, and another asked for the configuration to represent the Ursa Major and Minor constellations. While for another customer, the Rolls-Royce monogram was created to illuminate separately from the rest of the stars.
The Bespoke designers were once posed with the query: ‘Could all this be accomplished by a robot? Probably, but it’s not. Instead, Rolls-Royce hires detail-obsessed individuals from specialty areas, including textile and technology. The result is a different take on heavenly creationism that’s always unique and personal.”
YellowHeart, the NFT marketplace for ticketing, music, and community tokens, which accepts both crypto and credit card payments, has announced that it will be the official NFT ticketing sponsor of the upcoming NFT.NYC awards ceremony on June 21 at New York Marriott Marquis. The awards mark the pinnacle event of the three-day festival, which is projected to have a record turnout of 15,000 people and 1,500 speakers from 42 countries.
“As one of the earliest adopters of NFT ticketing, we are incredibly proud to be partnering with NFT.NYC to ticket its biggest awards ceremony to date,” said Josh Katz, Founder, and CEO of YellowHeart. “With every year, decentralization and blockchain technologies continue to become more mainstream because of their ability to disrupt industries that historically haven’t been innovative. The ticketing space is one of the most obvious use cases, and we’re elated that NFT.NYC understands this and is eager to evolve alongside us.”
The partnership between YellowHeart and NFT.NYC will grant conference attendees exclusive access to the awards ceremony and dinner. Guests can purchase their NFT tickets from YellowHeart’s mobile wallet, so they can be easily scanned and admitted to the event. By issuing NFT tickets instead of traditional tickets, NFT.NYC will be able to help eliminate scalping, fraudulent tickets, and high secondary ticket prices. YellowHeart uses on-chain analytics, which allows the company to identify if a user has purchased several tickets but transfers them all to other users, which likely indicates they’re a scalper. The ticket issuer is also in complete control if a ticket is resold, and if it is, for how much, so they can help prevent high resale prices.
NFT.NYC often referred to as the “Woodstock” or “Super Bowl” of NFTs, brings together thousands of guests from around the world, including artists, developers, and journalists. During the conference, guests have the opportunity to attend the industry’s most prevalent panels, thought leader talks, workshops, and briefings from numerous household names and brands. There are hundreds of events outside of the conference during the week. This year, YellowHeart has also partnered with Tao Group Hospitality, the biggest global hospitality company in the world, to roll out three nights of NFT ticketing at Marquee in New York. The events will run on June 22, 24, and 25.

If you admire Hailey Bieber’s skin, now you can have it with Rhode Beauty
Hailey Bieber has been working on a project for more than two years that she has kept secret, dropping only clues: we knew that it was a cosmetics and skin care business that it has baptized as ‘Rhode‘ and that it would see the light when it comes to summer. However, a few weeks ago, the exact date of its release was finally revealed: June 15! A piece of news has been accompanied by more details about this new beauty and cosmetic project.
She announced the news along with a photo album in which she appears posing with a donut in her hand and her skin looks super cared for, glowy, and hydrated. In the caption of the publication, she wrote rhodeskin.com, the official website to which you can subscribe if you want to be aware of all the details of her cosmetics brand.
As a big fan of skincare, Hailey has been asked by her followers for several years about her daily routine and the products she uses, so she created her own signature naturally.
Some of the details that Hailey reveals to her followers about ‘Rhode’ are the following:
Affordable prices that will not exceed 30 dollars: This is what the model wanted to reveal in an interview with the media. For achieving the goal of finding the powerful formulas suitable for most pockets, Hailey has been testing different textures for months, asking advice from dermatology experts such as Charlotte Palermino or Hyram Yarbro, who, like Hailey, share the purpose of more accessible cosmetics made with natural products.
What products are sold in Rhode? We can find moisturizing textures, mainly focused on the face. A few days ago, Hailey shared the following products with her followers: a serum ‘that visibly plumps and hydrates to support a healthy skin barrier’, A moisturizing mist ‘to comfort, soothe, and restore the skin barrier’, and finally, a restorative lip treatment ‘for naturally plump, pillowy-soft lips — day or night’, and to protect and nourish dry skin from within.
Rhode futures foundation: Rhode Futures Foundation is supporting and investing in 1,000 women and their families by 2023. The brand partners with three organizations providing women, especially women of color, with the necessary resources to direct their own futures: Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Accion Opportunity Fund, and the LIFT Family Goal Fund. Hailey’s cosmetics firm has pledged a minimum of 1% of sales to support her efforts and all women they serve, ‘including non-binary, trans, non-cis, and all women-identified persons’.
as Rhode states, there are three fundamental pillars:
‘Give women access to a wide variety of health services for full autonomy over their bodies to make empowered choices.
‘Invest in resources for moms that alleviate financial stress as they raise and support their families.
‘Provide access to capital and coaching for women-owned businesses.
Singer, songwriter and reality TV star Landon Asher Barker launched his new capsule collection with the prominent British retailer boohooMAN. What better way to celebrate the exclusive launch of the musician’s garment line than to have a premiere party in Hollywood.
The soiree was held at the newly opened rooftop lounge Desert 5 Spot. If you are ever in Hollywood, and want stunning city views with live rock and country music, this favorite locale is the place to go. The venue can be found on the top floor of the stylish Tommie Hollywood Hotel.
Upon entering the event, celebrities were greeted with a red carpet to capture the amazing looks from the new line. The punk-rock looks had the usual leather jacket statement, but edged out with accessories and designer accents. One of the crowd favorites was the metallic skeleton studded jacket – a silhouette of a skeleton on a gray leather base with studs along the collar.
The best way to describe the wardrobe of the event would be contemporary acid rock. Landon had a few words about the partnership “the collection is primarily inspired by what I wear on an everyday basis, and boohooMAN really allowed me to showcase that through my creative direction.” He finished with “I love the collection created because it feels very me. The rocker elements really reflect my personal style, and I am so proud of the vibe we cultivated through every look. I’ve been into fashion from a very young age so it’s been fun to create something on my own.” Looking Through the selection of clothes you can see the rockstar persona shine through.
The end of the event was followed by a performance. The young artist gave the guests a show to remember. He performed two unreleased songs, and a Juice Wrld cover to pay respects to his recently passed friend, TikTok star Cooper Noriega. Juice Wrld and Cooper were huge inspirations to Landon’s career, and to pay tributes to both icons he sang Armed and Dangerous.
After the performance ended you can clearly see being musically inclined doesn’t fall far from the family tree. The legendary drummer for Blink-182 and Kourtney Kardashian’s new husband Travis Barker was in attendance supporting his son. This young composer seems to already have built a strong foundation in the Hollywood scene. The evening was filled with other rising talent like Charli Damelio, Dixie Damelio, Austin Mahone, 24K Goldn and many others.
The boohooMAN x Landon Barker collection, available globally on boohooMAN.com, features bold colors, chain metal details and faux-leather statement pieces. The product ranges from$19- $67, making the range accessible while in keeping with the fashion forward elements that compliment Landon’s style. Find more info here.
Visitors attending the Festival of Speed will experience the global public debut of the full Black Badge product portfolio.
Displayed on the Festival’s Laundry Green, adjacent to Goodwood House, will be a selection of highly Bespoke commissions – Black Badge Wraith, Black Badge Dawn, Black Badge Cullinan and the purest expression of a Rolls-Royce Black Badge to date, Black Badge Ghost. Each commission reveals an owner’s aesthetic sensibilities and the marque’s peerless craftsmanship.
Launched in 2016, Black Badge is Rolls-Royce’s response to a new type of client. A permanent Bespoke treatment to its motor cars, these products are darker in aesthetic, more urgent in personality and dramatic in material. Designed with more torque, control and power, Rolls-Royce Black Badge is for those who reject conformity and live on their own terms. It is for the innovators, trailblazers, rule-breakers — and above all — those who dare. Since its introduction, more dynamic patrons of luxury have responded by pushing the boundaries of the marque’s bold alter-ego through their own Bespoke commissions.
Black Badge, the highly successful alter ego of Rolls-Royce, now represents 27% of commissions worldwide and is codified by the mathematical symbol that represents a potential infinity. This graphic, also known as a Leminscate, was applied to Sir Malcom Campbell’s record-breaking Rolls-Royce powered Blue Bird K3 hydroplane and the marque’s designers nominated this hallmark for Black Badge motor cars to reflect their own unrelenting pursuit of power and the infinite possibilities that darkness provides. Today it can be found within the Black Badge motor car’s interior.
For this year’s Festival of Speed, Rolls-Royce presents five new powerful creations, inspired by its clients’ desires.
BLACK BADGE GHOST
Launched in late 2021, Black Badge Ghost is the marque’s purest and most technologically advanced Black Badge motor car yet.
A Galileo Blue and Black exterior finish was selected to signify the dramatic intent of this Black Badge Ghost commission. Striking Red brake callipers and a single wheel centre pinstripe in Galileo Blue confidently resolve the aesthetic exterior. The blue theme is carried through to the interior, with the seat piping and Bespoke interior leather in Galileo Blue.
BLACK BADGE CULLINAN
Named after the world’s largest rough Diamond, Cullinan is a super-luxury SUV, designed to make luxury travel effortless everywhere. Since its launch, Black Badge Cullinan has embarked on a remarkable Bespoke journey, and a unique Black Badge Cullinan has been created for the event. The commission reconciles the notions of utility, power and effortlessness that Black Badge Cullinan embodies. Presented in Dark Olive with a single Mandarin coachline and Mandarin brake callipers, the signature Black Badge design flourishes, including a milled carbon fibre Spirit of Ecstasy, and 22-inch Black Badge wheels embolden the exterior aesthetic.
BLACK BADGE DAWN
Black Badge Dawn is the most uncompromising expression of open-top luxury in the world. Presented in a striking two-tone, Jasmine with Black, this commission embodies the notions of adventure and freedom. This bold and powerful two-tone treatment is also applied to the steering wheel, and the flanks of its bold coachwork are underscored by 21-inch Black Badge wheels.
BLACK BADGE WRAITH
Black Badge Wraith presents an intoxicating manifestation of the world’s most powerful Rolls-Royce. The athletic prowess of the luxury Grand Tourer meets an irresistible dynamism, sculpted for those who dare to defy convention. Black Badge Wraith is presented in Tucana Purple, with the upper body in Black. A Mandarin coachline showcases the marque’s surface finish capabilities. Inside, a Mandarin and Black theme creates a dramatic and powerful aesthetic.
In addition to the four cars presented on the stand, a Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost will take to the hill climb up to four times a day in the exclusive ‘First Glance’ showcase. Further demonstrating Black Badge’s agility, a Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith will join the cars in the ‘Michelin Supercar Run’. Both motor cars can be viewed in their Paddocks between their scheduled high-speed outings.
Other Rolls-Royce motor cars attending the Festival of Speed include a Black Badge Dawn as a Courtesy Car and a Black Badge Cullinan as a Safety Car.
