I'm procrastinating and spent too long on Instagram, but at least there's been a lot going on today in WAGland. No one asked... but here's a summary and my 2 cents
First it started with people trying to cancel Alex again. This time, it was because she wore leather shoes. When people started pointing out that pretty much every WAG wears animal products, they started half-heartedly going after the other WAGs too. I'm sure they've always cared about this topic, have always criticized their favourite drivers and celebrities for wearing animal products too, and they personally don't eat or consume animal products.
(And IMO, the stance that faux leathers and faux furs are better than real animal products is one I have mixed feelings about. Aside from the hypocrisy of meateaters holding this stance (when the meat/dairy industry is just as cruel), the vast majority of faux leathers and faux furs are made out of plastics that are of inferior quality so they'll fall apart and end up in a landfill faster, and there's the whole microplastics issue. so it's more complicated but many people are incapable of nuance)

(Side note: critiques of Kelly's more recent problematic views: valid, dragging on that one tweet Alex liked as a teenager: not so valid. It only became a "scandal" because Charles' fangirls kept searching for a reason to justify their hatred of her and finally found it)

And then there was more valid criticism/gossip which was that on Alex's TikTok where she features some pricy Rene Caovilla boots (that I suspect were gifted to her from the brand due to her Charles connection), someone commented telling her she should disclose her ads. Apparently she replied that it wasn't an ad, deleted her comment, and blocked the user before they could take a full screenshot. They provided
some evidence (they showed their comment on her video with a missing reply, and that she blocked them), but it doesn't 100% prove it. I could see it happening though.
(I'm leaning more towards it not being a paid ad and Alex fishing for more luxury gifts. If it were a paid ad, I'd hope Alex would do more than caption it
"posted for the shoes" and not even tag or mention the brand lol. These people
really overestimate Alex's clout and reach. The F1 WAG gossip world is still pretty niche. They were convinced that The Louvre (yes,
The Louvre) paid Alex because she shared one of their posts on her art account. Luxury brands like Rene Caovilla will send out PR gifts (they also sent shoes to Kelly a while back), but they're pickier about who they do actual paid partnerships with. I don't know if a well known and established luxury brand like Rene Caovilla would want to actually pay Alex for that TikTok, when there are bigger and more established influencers (with a track record of actually converting luxury ads into sales) they could work with. So that's why I'm team fishing for freebies.)

In other fashion news, Kelly is at Couture Week and she looked amazing at the Elie Saab show. Great hair, makeup, and outfit. Imo a lot of her past fashion week looks were... Like I get it wasn't not entirely her doing because influencers pick from the a limited selection of clothes provided by the brand... but still

Shortly after Flavy's studying story, it was discovered that Carmen's story about doing leg day was actually taken days before lol

Carmen's Q&A reminds me so much of Kelly's recent Q&A that turned out to be an ad for hair vitamins
A Tweet pointing out how fake Kelly's questions blew up on Twitter. Maybe this was a coincidence ...but she soon posted that cute 2023 video with P and "stepdad" Max and got everyone fawning over that instead. It's really strange to me how Carmen's stuff flies under the radar compared to the more scrutinized wags
