Ooooh! I wasn’t expecting this. Last night was the big London premiere of The Lost City of Z, fresh off the cast’s promotion at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this week. I wasn’t expecting the London premiere so soon, so that came as a surprise for me. But the even bigger surprise was that Rob’s fiancee came out for the premiere!! FKA Twigs was there and they seemed especially loved-up on the red carpet. Like, I can feel their sexual chemistry. Fifty Shades of Sparkles, only this couple actually likes each other. I want to see more of that.
Incidentally, there’s always a lot of stuff about how they’re either breaking up or secretly married. For what it’s worth, I think they had a cooling off period last year, probably around the time that Rob was making this movie, but they are fine now. They’ve gotten a lot smarter about flying under the radar, and I think they’ve both moved back home to London. And no, I don’t think they’ve gotten married yet. This is also the first time they’ve walked a red carpet together since last year’s Met Gala (May 2016).
As for fashion… Twigs looks great here. Her pantsuit is Givenchy and I’m into it, absurd pockets and all. I love her hair and makeup here too. As for Rob…in Berlin, Rob reclaimed the quirky hipster avant-garde fashion-forward mantle which we knew he was capable of years ago. He wore a crazy fur (?) coat and high-water pants with combat boots. He wore a cropped turtleneck cardigan which looked very “Kardashian.” And it was all Dior. At the London premiere, he also wore Dior but he went for a traditional-seeming suit. Nice.

I love these two together.
Keep on with the Twee Hipster Artiste Fashion plate. I love all of it. And Twigs, please make another pretty video of you dancing. It doesn’t even need to be high production, I’ll watch it. I’m not even asking for new music. Just the dancing.
I love the way he looks at her. And I love her style. She has been unapologetically black in her styling despite the trolls. As a black woman, that makes me happy.
YES YES YES! She looks like A Slice of Afro Futurism.. I love her face/skin/oeuvre and her music/weirdness… less so when she is interviewing, I dont think she likes that part of her job and sabotages it ….I ONLY tolerate him because his being with her makes him cooler and seemingly less prone to giving those precious neurotic interviews, Hoping they go the distance, keep telling us nothing and have a kooky wedding somewhere
Also: Yes her mouth is open, she is weird there! don’t @me, I also saved ya’ll the typing, Bloop!
Yesssss!!!!!! I agree As a Proud black woman!! ! Your comment said it all!
I do too! he seems so happy with her and totally smitten.
and she’s so gorgeous. also agree on the dancing vid – this lady’s got serious moves and is so much fun to watch.
The way they look at each other is just….(sigh)
I love them!
I’m also loving her understated makeup.
I knoooow. The way they look at each other is cute. It’s kinda like ewww i hate them they’re so cute, together.
Cheering for this couple, the way they look at one another says it all. Yes.
.
I find both od them very hipster try hard and annoying, but visually, they make a stunning couple.
I love these two and I always love seeing what FKA Twigs is wearing. I find her so interesting to look at.
Side note: I’ll bet a lot of the people who don’t like her and Sparkles as a couple are the same people who don’t like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Can you dislike them separately but like them together? Like, I find both of them pretentious and try hard, but they fit together very well.
I think because they are soo one into another: he adores her, and she adores him, it makes them cute.
It’s a Constituency Overlap FOR SURE Emily!
i prefer Rob and Twigs cos they seem to be solid and they have been together for a while now. I think he has grown into a decent man and actor, she is amazing, very unique and underrated.
This couple looks great together.
As for, Prince and Princess Sparkles “wanna be”, I find them separately annoying, but they also fit well together 😉
Her pockets look like the panniers on my bike.
Totally zip-off saddlebags. Which would be great if we could the same thing with “real” saddlebags.
Nooo, Sparks. I want that dramatic Dior styling he had at the Berlinale.
Yeah, me too.
I’m so sure that FKA picked that look for him. Its her through and through.
He was dressed by Dior, he went to Paris to pick up that stuff, FKA twigs has nothing to do with it. He’s pretty capable to dress on his own and he made bold fashion choices during twilight years and even before, at the Harry Potter premiere.
Me three. I didn’t even know he can be that interesting and dramatic.
Ditto.
Lost City of Zoolander.
I’m for it.
I love FKA Twig’s music and her dancing. She is one of a kind. It’s not a style you like or don’t, it’s just her. And that’s powerful. Also, she is a really talented dancer with choreographies that are both contemporary and universal. Her video Video Girl is a difficult subject turned into an incredible physical performance (she said she was thinking of the racist abuse she was getting online and drew inspiraiton from it). Beyoncé took a lot of inspiration from her beautiful video Two Weeks for her Grammy extravaganza.
I adore FKA Twigs. And I think her live performances are amazing. Seriously, if you have idle time just watch those (my fav is one from Kimmels show in which she dances with wind blown scarfs). But Beyonces performance wasnt drawn from that anymore than FKAs Two Weeks video is pinched from Aaliyahs Queen of the Damned. Lots of artists, black and white have performed as goddesses. Oshun seems to be a particular favorite. Beyonce seems to have been performing as a fertility godess which FKA Twigs hasnt done as far as I am aware. They all put a different spin on it and honestly, do we need to be constantly pitting female artists like this.
So true. You don’t see people accusing male artists of copying each other, even though a lot of their videos are same old, same old.
oooohhh @Merry How I regret to have mentioned Beyoncé. I am tired of this conversation. I said “drew inspiration” not copied so as not to go on about this again. I have my opinion about B but I have said it once and that’s enough.
It’s hard being very original and you find lots of repeated moves in dance and props in shows, that’s just the way it is, and that’s all I will say about it.
Thanks for the Kimmel reference, though! 🙏
I can watch this woman dance for hours.
Sorry, but FKA Twigs is nowhere near Beyoncé level… she’s a cool indie artist, but Beyoncé is true sensation and one of the most influential artists ever… twigs can only wish
Who is pitting women against each other here?! Dear lord, each one has her own style and FKA Twigs is just starting her career. Sheesh. It’s a great point for an emerging artist to have the greats watching her work. I said THE GREATS. Happy now??
I disagree with that statement on every level.
How do you know “the greats” are watching her work? Did Beyonce said something about it? As far as I know not at all. Twigs borrows a lot from 80s esthetics and is even prone to some cultural appropriation which would’ve been a problem for a bigger artist, but her fans always acts like she invented everything.
J. – Beyonce was spotted backstage at one of twigs’s performances. I think it was Coachella?
I think some people are touchy about this because there is a group of bitter ex-Twilight fans who constantly accuse twigs of plagiarizing others. There are some similarites between Beyonce’s performance and twig’s Two Weeks video and her Jimmy Fallon appearance, so some are using that as a weapon of sorts. But, like someone already said here, there can be similarities without it being plagiarism or copying. Beyonce does her own thing, just like twigs does her own thing.
You mentioned Beyoncé in the context that she made something derivative, what twigs had done before – no wonder Beyoncé fans are not happy about it, especially when it’s not true.
@Slowsnow – you’re right. Beyonce seems to “draw inspiration” from a lot of lesser known artists and brings their work (when she acknowledges it) into the mainstream. She’s always done that. It doesn’t take away from her popularity or talent to say that.
Girl you can’t mention anything about Beyonce or the beyhive will be on you lol!
i crazy love her too, and i think she’s talented and such an interesting human being.
ETA: reading the other comments now, why is this even an argument?? people need to be super careful not to mention beyonce ever because her stans are mental.
Beyoncé fans can be a little too much but you gotta admit that it’s just creepy how she’s always put down. It’s a post about Twigs but someone is talking about how Beyoncé stole from her. What makes it worse is that no other person gets this kinda critique . Either it’s Solange she’s copying from or some other person. People claimed her formation video was heavily influenced by Solange and even Solange had to be like “nope this is not me, our mom was a black panther ” Now it’s FKA twigs.
I’m igbo and Nigerian. While I’m no Yoruba, it might help to read up Osun, the Yoruba goddess of fertility. If there’s anyone Beyoncé copied it’s Osun. She also had the Igbo drowning (it’s about some igbo slaves drowning that happened in Virginia) in her lemonade visuals. FKA twigs is not the only one in tune with her African ancestry and I personally see no similarities between both works.
Beyoncé always attends coachella and she supports other artists very well.
You know what we should talk about though, how no one mentions how Much of Beyoncé’s chores Jlo’s Vegas shows “inspired”
@scar,
You are 100% on point. Some people probably don’t even know that they’re doing it at this point. It’s kinda like second nature. A female artist gets mentioned, ‘let’s talk crap about Beyonce’. It’s sickening and sad. I’m not a member of any beehive but I’ve noticed this happening for quite some time now. I don’t think anyone should be above reproach, not even Beyonce, but how she is treated goes beyond sticking it to a sacred cow. LOL at your Jlo dig.
@Slowsnow,
I don’t think you meant it the way it was taken, but saying someone drew inspiration from another artist is akin to saying they stole from that artist, Beyonce or no Beyonce.
Twigs has never been on Kimmel. She was on Fallon.
They both look good.
Bringing her on the RC of his film premiere seems like a big deal, right? He must be seriously smitten.
Hope he makes late night appearances to promote the LCOZ. He’s always fun to watch in interviews.
What’s with the saddle bags on her hips?
They look so happy. Good for them!
They look adorable together … and actually a bit shy.
I think she’s extremely talented, and very beautiful. She’s had so much disgusting, racist bullshit to cope with, for the sin of meeting and getting together with a man years after a messy break-up a bunch of whackos were way, way too invested in, that I can’t help hoping they live happily ever after as a couple to give the racist, misogynist idiots the finger.
They look really fantastic in these images, too. They’re an incredibly good looking couple. And it’s always great to see people looking happy.
It’s refreshing to see her smile. She’s always been unique and quirky, but she looks beautiful with a smile on.
They look beautiful together. He looks flawless in that suit. And I love her outfit, it suits her perfectly.
They’ve been together a long time now, and it’s great to see them looking so happy. The abuse they got in the early days was terrible, and I love that they stayed classy and rose above it.
I can’t get past her nose ring. I like his hipster suit
This guy seems to go for women who never close their mouths. KStew was the same.
I seriously love these two together. She elevates him and they seem so into each other. Glad to see their still together.
I really like this couple, and I like that they look genuinely in love and happy with each other. Good for them.
I hate skinny ties with a passion though.
Yay! I really like these two together, though I have no idea why I even care. My god, she is banging hot in that pantsuit.
‘I think they’ve both moved back home to London’
did he use to live in LA?
i’m one of those who totally judges people by their partners, and since i adore her it makes me think he’s probably quite cool in a way i can’t quite see lol. no but really, tahliah is everything.
Rob has a house in LA. They seem to split their time between LA, London, and sometimes Brooklyn.
This is the look I prefer for him. I get fashion experiments, but he looks amazing in a suit.
Twigs looks amazing. I recently saw a large store side pic of her for Nike(?)- what an incredible body. Not so into her music, but definitely like her dancing. They make a cute couple- hope they can go the distance.
the video of her dancing at a nike video is awesome! look for it in youtube, it is incredible!
They make such an attractive couple!
But where’s his cardigan?!?
The City of Z shoot sounded hard for everyone. Hopefully Pattinson didn’t ghost his lady like Hunnam did. I don’t know that I would say these two cooled off so much as they had an immense distance between the two of them while he was working.
Rob actually alluded to that in one of his red carpet interviews. He said, if he was as hard-core as Charlie was about keeping himself so isolated in the jungle, “no one” would ever talk to him again. Rob was laughing, but he obviously realized twigs wasn’t going for that!
It was nice to see twigs there last night, they are very sweet together. I was hoping for another daring ensemble, but he does look great in the well-fitted suit. No complaints!
I hate the saddle bags on her outfit but i love her hair.
I always compare how miserable and cold he looked with Kstew (and vice versa) to how relaxed and happy he is with FKA Twigs. Kstew & him were just so so wrong for each other and I am happy they arent together anymore. The ugliness that is thrown at FKA on a daily basis over it is more than alarming. Like RPats and KStew are never ever getting back together, move on!
I think part of the difference is also him being older and out of the extreme media/fandom spotlight (despite persistent crazies) that he faced when he was with Kstew. It’s not at all surprising that both he and Kstew look so much more relaxed these days.
He and Twigs do seem to love each other though, they make a lovely couple and I hope they make this work.
Part of it is is also that twigs looks really into him too. Kristen never did. Kristen is probably bi but it’s starting to seem like she has a preference for women. Because she looks a lot more into her girlfriends then she did with rob. I am happy for him because he looks like he’s in a mutual loving relationship and I happy for her that she can be with whom she wants to be. I think she seems happier and more confident now.Twigs and rob are seriously adorable together. I love them together.
I just saw that the crazy baby crew is still insisting he and twigs are “PR”, and he was forced to pose with her last night. This obviously makes no sense whatsoever, but they must be in desperation mode to come up with a cover story for their cult followers.
I never realized just how gullible people can be, until we started seeing how many Trump followers can’t see through his nonsense either. There’s a sucker born every minute, I guess.
Another Anne: isn’t just so weird? They come up with the craziest theories to support their made up story/ delusion that he and KStew are married with kids. She literally says she is gay and their like “nope. She just pretending to fool everyone”…huh? It does offer a spall glimpse at how people will do anything to maintain their version of reality.
So happy for him! He seems happy and she actually seems into him and them and happy! He seems like a decent fellow and that they actually enjoy each other..positive vibes!
I like them together, they’re really cute. And they’re refreshingly discreet – I even wish we’d see more of them.
I saw them together at the LA Dance Project gala and they were sweet with each other. Very normal, like any couple out for the night. Seemed happy and comfortable together.
I think she’s really pretty but I feel like every photo I see of her she has a completely vacant expression.
in the last photo she looks little bit tired.they make a sweet couple
Gosh she looks stunning. The hair, the make up the suit all just perfect.
DAMN they are smoking hot. Wild wild sex lol. PS killer line Fifty Shades of Sparkles. Its sparks flying alright. BTW that Berlin Rob look was all Fire!! He wore that look all the way, with confidence and he looked good. IT was odd but well done – london punk rock -ish. He made me want to see him in more roles, bigger roles so we can see him more. ITs been too long. fka twigs, love the look.
Also, the movie premiered at NYFF to rave reviews Kaiser. lol you may want to look it up before you go out to slam. It has a 90% on RT.
@Dana ….+1000
first time i ve ever seen her kinda smiling i think . it softens her super much. it is cute that she looks more soft and human when he’s there.
they are so cute. that is all.
