Whitney Houston’s Palace Skateboard Collection Will Make You So Emotional
The late music legend’s estate and the iconic skateboard brand join forces for a nostalgia-inducing charity collection….


Since Whitney Houston’s tragic death in 2012, the music legend’s cultural impact has only grown. Houston’s game-changing career yielded chart-topping albums, hit movies, and a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most awarded female artist of all time. An inspiration to performers like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Hudson, Houston set the standard for vocalists from the 1980s onward. This year that legacy was honored with an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside acts like The Notorious B.I.G., Nine Inch Nails, and T. Rex. At the virtual ceremony on Saturday, Houston’s impact was outlined by lifelong fan Alicia Keys, but such a milestone moment deserved to be immortalized in real life. Enter Palace Skateboards, the London-based brand known for its skater clothing and unique collaborations. After teaming with everyone from Ralph Lauren to Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Palace has paired up with Houston’s estate for a unique capsule launching this Friday.
If the idea of power ballads and skateboarding doesn’t make total sense, that’s perfectly fine with Palace’s creative team. Their connection with Houston’s Legacy Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to issues impacting children and at-risk youth is a means of continuing their philanthropic drops. Earlier this year, they created a capsule in honor of Britain’s National Health Service for COVID-19 relief, and in 2019 they joined forces with Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust to combat racial and class inequality. Houston’s status as pop music’s GOAT didn’t hurt either. “[She] is one of the all-time greats: we are so stoked and so honored to continue our charitable commitments this year with a line that celebrates such an incredible pop star and human being,” the brand shared via a statement.
Comprising an Ebbets varsity jacket with Houston’s name splashed across the front, t-shirts featuring the Richard Avedon-shot cover of her eponymous 1987 album, and logo-ed crewnecks, the collection aligns with Houston’s casual off-duty style. Though she favored glamorous Dolce & Gabbana dresses and crystal-covered Marc Bouwer catsuits onstage, when she was with family and friends during rare moments away from the spotlight, her wardrobe consisted of jeans, bomber jackets, and t-shirts. According to her aunt Pat Houston, who accepted the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors alongside the star’s mother, Cissy, the Palace collection’s spirit is pure Whitney. “No doubt she would have loved to have worn it herself!” she shared via email. “Nippy always loved wearing a cool sweatshirt when she was away from the spotlight. This collection reflects her fun and easy going personality—she would have been proud to wear it knowing it was for a good cause.”

This was about fixing a wardrobe malfunction and was a shining example of how to handle unexpected moments with laughter and warmth.

Cardi B’s $60K Birkin Bag Gets The ‘Mommy Treatment’ As Daughter Unleashes Her Creativity

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.
Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags. However, as any parent knows, kids have a skill for creating chaos even in the most cherished parts of life. For Cardi, that chaos includes her high-priced accessories. The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.

But Cardi’s frustration didn’t stop there. She later took to Twitter to respond to comments made by Kanye West regarding her staying power in the spotlight. While she didn’t mention him directly, her tweet, “7 years 1 album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music!!!” sent a clear message. She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.
