This is so beautiful to see!! Wow they are as stunning as ever. More so, actually. Their influence is special, together and separately – Brandy’s influence covering multiple genres and art forms. Did you know she inspired the lead guitarist of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers?

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
