Julia Fox Takes The Trend To Unusual Lows With Look Of The Week.

Julia Fox rose to fame in 2021 after a brief but indelible relationship with Kanye West, and has since become an almost constant source of internet chatter. She has achieved this with her sartorial unpredictability and DIY-ing a bandeau top and matching bottoms out of a single pair of jeans using just a pair of scissors. Her now quintessential finger-painted black eyeliner look is fast becoming the enfant terrible of celebrity fashion.

Alibaba’s Stock Price Dipped Significantly As A Result Of The Threat Of Its US Delisting.

Alibaba shares fell Monday after a U.S. regulatory agency added the stock to a growing list of Chinese companies that might be kicked off Wall Street if U.S. auditors cannot inspect their financial statements. Alibaba (BABA) slid as much as 6% in Hong Kong but then pared losses to 3.8% in the afternoon. Friday's drop came after the Securities and Exchange Commission put the company on its watchlist. Investors have been worried about the Chinese tech giant Alibaba for years. In late 2020, however, the company was caught up in a sweeping crackdown on China's booming technology sector.

The crackdown, coupled with a weakening economy, has slowed the revenue grow...
