Beyoncé is already a role model for young women everywhere. Now, she’s also playing the role of benefactor with a new scholarship, the Formation Scholars, in honor of the one-year anniversary of Lemonade. Young women studying arts, literature, or African-American Studies at four institutions—Berklee College of Music, Parsons School of Design, Howard University, and Spelman College—are eligible.

Opening Ceremony
For the second season of Made LA, Opening Ceremony will move its runway show to Los Angeles, where, incidentally, the brand is also celebrating the 10th anniversary of its storefront (and its 15th anniversary of existence at all). Wiz Khalifa also joins the Made LA lineup with a to-be-announced collaboration, his design debut, and Rochambeau will collaborate with rapper Yung Jake.
Taylor-Johnson, Aaron
The actor (and Nocturnal Animals star) is now the face of a new Givenchy fragrance for men. “He knows how to do everything,” Givenchy parfums CEO Romain Spitzer told WWD. That seems as good a reason as any.
