Spike Lee's instant-classic Oscars suit paying tribute to Kobe Bryant is going to the Hall of Fame ... the Spike Lee Hall, that is.
The famous director was at LAX Monday -- heading back to his beloved NYC, we're presuming -- when we asked him about the night's most talked-about fashion statement.
Spike tells us his purple and gold homage, complete with #24 embroidered across the lapels and on the back, will be framed and hung up at his NY crib. In fact, he says it was shipped back ahead of him ... it's Gucci, after all.
Not a big shocker Spike decided to honor Kobe at the 92nd Academy Awards. The NBA superfan posted several tributes to hoops superstar following the tragic helicopter crash.
Spike and Kobe go way back -- he directed the 2009 documentary "Kobe Doin' Work" -- but it's clear he's not quite ready to talk about making another film about Bryant.
Maybe when the time is right ... like Ron Howard said.

The Oscars might have had surprise winners, but it's no surprise that everyone -- win or lose -- is still in the mood to party the night away at the huge after-parties.
Netflix scored the most Oscar noms for a studio this year with 20, and celebrated 2 victories at the San Vicente Bungalows in WeHo. Laura Dern, who won Best Supporting Actress for "Marriage Story," attended and was joined by a couple other Netflix movie big shots ... Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro. Marty came away empty-handed for directing "The Irishman."
Jennifer Aniston was also there, no nominations, but she's Jen ... and that's enough.
Meanwhile, Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara, Scarlett Johansson and Donatella Versace were among the attendees packing into Vanity Fair's shindig at the Wallis Annenberg Center in Bev Hills.
But, Jay-Z and Beyonce's after-party at the famed Chateau Marmont might take the prize for the most celebs -- like Kourtney Kardashian leaving little to the imagination with serious sideboob in her sparkly dress.
She was joined by Kim and Kanye, Khloe and Kylie .. and yeah, Travis Scott too. As we told ya, the exes have been looking more couple-ish lately.

As we reported, Rihanna and Rocky showed up together at the YAMS Day benefit concert in Brooklyn. She also went to Sweden to hit up his show. They also showed up together at the British Fashion Awards show. In other words, they've been together a fair amount recently.

Seems like Beyonce and Jay-Z's daughter is really into the big shopping spree too.

Kim Kardashian is now in a Nordstrom near you -- or at least her SKIMS representatives are, and by that we mean living, breathing mannequins ... sometimes known as models.
The reality TV beauty mogul made a splash Wednesday in NYC, where she rolled out her SKIMS shapewear line in the Midtown Nordstrom store. Her hubby, Kanye West, came to support the launch as well. Kim came armed with a gaggle of models, flaunting a broad range of options and body types.
No one can complain about a lack of diversity -- the human mannequins came in all shapes and sizes ...which is kinda the whole point of Kim's product.
Looks like another Midas touch for the Kardashians ... we're told there was a line out the door for the Nordstrom launch ... with some folks waiting since as early as 2 AM. The first 50 in line got a meet-and-greet with Kim.
Kim didn't just wave and dash, though. She actually stuck around for quite a while and even got behind the register for some purchases, proudly ringing up customers.
Skim (hehe) through the gallery to check out the scene. Lots of model citizens here.

2:09 PM PT -- Kansas City cops say 5 people in total were arrested at the parade ... including 2 in that wild police chase early Wednesday morning.
Cops say 2 of the other 3 arrests included a man riding a horse ... and a "belligerent guy who fell out of a tree."
12:31 PM PT -- Kelce just gave addressed the fans with a speech that would make the Macho Man Randy Savage blush ... going all-out in an epic rant at the Chiefs' rally following the parade.
Kelce -- who was spotted downing beer after beer throughout the festivities -- kept it together and PG-13 (for the most part) ... only letting a few f-bombs fly during the speech.
The fans loved every second of it ... and the whole thing was reminiscent of Travis' bro, Jason, who went OFF when the Eagles won the Super Bowl a few years back. Remember "hungry dogs run faster?"
Travis ended his speech with one Beastie Boys-approved message -- "YOU GOTTA FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY!!!!"
11:33 AM PT -- Aaaaaaaaand, there goes Kelce's super badass Louis V coat ... the thing just got destroyed when Patrick Mahomes made a beer waterfall mid-parade ... and Trav tried to catch it all in his mouth.
Mahomes and Kelce are just different pic.twitter.com/20RY05L0HS

Awesome moment for everyone EXCEPT the coat, which got drenched in brew.
Pour some more out for the coat. RIP.
It's currently 26 degrees in Kansas City, MO for the Chiefs Super Bowl parade ... and Travis Kelce is staying warm in 2 ways -- a beer blanket and a $20,000 Louis Vuitton coat!!!
Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and the boys are braving the cold to celebrate their big win over the 49ers ... and we're expecting a BUNCH of drunken debaucheries. Hey, they earned it!
Kelce and his stunning GF, Kayla Nicole, got the party started early ... with their group belting out Queen's "We Are The Champions" at the top of their lungs while Trav downed a Budweiser.
But, it wasn't the screeching rendition of the song that caught our attention, it was Kelce's threads -- which, after doing some research, are even more eye-popping.
According to the Louis V website, Killa Trav's coat is worth almost a whopping $20k, with an $18,600 price tag.
Other Chiefs players are already poppin' bottles of Ace of Spades and spraying the crowd!!
Mahomes is already joining Kelce in the beer chuggin' ... doing his best Gronk impression as the parade rolls on.
2/5/20
Among others on Kelce's float are Patrick and his biggest supporter, GF Brittany Matthews ... and we'll be sure to update the post with as much of that great content that's bound to happen.
We can already hear the screaming.

Mario doesn't look like he's aged much at all ... and he's still got those famous A.C. jock vibes. Elizabeth's keeping it business casual as Jessie ... the former students are reportedly playing roles as parents in the reboot.
Bayside High School is where it's all going down once again.
The new series is said to focus on a group of low-income students transferring into the wealthy Pacific Palisades at the direction of Zack Morris, who went on to become Governor of California.

Beyonce Popeyes Getting in Formation!!! Very Familiar Fashion Line
Beyonce might want a word with Popeyes honchos -- not about their chicken sandwich, but about their new fashion line. Yes, that's a real thing, and yes ... it looks like a total Bey copy.
The fast-food chicken chain just unveiled new employee uniforms, which are surprisingly chic ... and very much look like Queen Bey's new Adidas x Ivy Park activewear collection.
Take a look ... the resemblance is uncanny, from the maroon and orange color scheme to the casual and comfortable clothing options.
Popeyes says ... "Nothing new here. Just the uniforms we wear every day." It also includes a link to its online store, where fans can buy the items from its fashionable uniform lineup ... which includes the tagline, "That Look From Popeyes."
As for which came first -- the chicken or the Bey? Well, they might go hand in hand. Beyonce DID choose Popeyes colors for the new Ivy Park designs, after all. But, then again, Popeyes sure seems to have swiped her style.
Next step for the chicken joint -- ship a bunch of free gear to celebrities!!! Worked for Bey, but then again ... everything does.

Selena Gomez Strikes Gold at Video Shoot ... No Dwelling on Justin
Selena Gomez is out to prove all that glitters is gold ... because she looks relaxed and radiant on the set of a new music video.
The "Lose You To Love Me" singer was all smiles Monday afternoon as she walked up to the shoot in downtown L.A. ... rocking a disco queen look in a golden, backless dress and knee-high boots.
We're told she was likely shooting a vid for something off her new album, "Rare" ... possibly the title track.
As we've reported, Selena's third studio album features songs about relationships and breakups -- including hers with Justin Bieber -- but has an overarching theme of mental health.
Gomez recently revealed in an interview she experienced emotional abuse with Bieber, but says she's dealt with it and adds ... "I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I've ever felt, and I've found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible."
Those boots -- made for walking the walk.

62nd Annual Grammy Awards Hollywood Faces the Music ... Styles Galore Heading In
5:04 PM PT -- DJ Khaled paid tribute to Kobe on the red carpet with a shirt in his honor. It shows Kobe during the 1996 draft.
It's Grammy day, and before Hollywood accepts their golden gramophones ... they wanted to stunt a little bit on the way in. And stunt they certainly did.
The best in the music biz were all on hand Sunday at the STAPLES Center, where stars like Lizzo, Rick Ross, Billie Eilish, Finneas O'Connell, Ozzy Osbourne, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Skrillex, Ariana Grande, Lil Nas X, Billy Ray Cyrus, Iggy Pop, YBN Cordae, Sophie Turner, Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra, Billy Porter, Chris Brown and more.
A lot of the outfits were safe -- standard award show garb -- but others were out there. Among the more non-conventional/political looks ... Joy Villas "Trump 2020" dress, Megan Pormer's "No War 💖 Iran" gown and Ricky Rebel's "Impeach This" ass cheek statement.
If you thought their entrance was something, get a load of how they used their fashion behind the scenes. Definitely more movement than the usual posing on the way in.
Of course, Sunday's proceedings come right on the heels of the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant ... and it's being held at the same place he played for years, no less.
A bunch of fans have gathered outside of STAPLES and created makeshift memorials for him. Definitely a solemn day in the sports world and beyond, but the Grammys must go on.

Yes, Kim and CHER were spotted strolling the streets of DTLA Thursday decked out in all black!!! The pair also had a photo and video crew in tail, and at one point, Kim mounted a motorcycle to pose for some pics.
It's unclear exactly what the duo is collaborating on, but Kim has made no secret of the fact that Cher is someone she's always looked up to for both fashion and personal motivation.
You'll remember back in 2017, Kim dressed as Cher for Halloween and she's paid homage to her looks over the years. Kim also had one of the best seats in the house during Cher's Las Vegas residency. The two women are also both Armenian ... a fact both Kim and Cher are extremely proud of.
As for Cher, she's got a busy 2020 ahead ... she'll be back in Vegas next month before hitting the road and making stops on her tour across the United States.
Keep your eyes peeled for this collab to pop up soon.

Jean-Paul -- who famously created Madonna's famed cone bra and corset for her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour -- drew tons of famous models from past and present at his final show.
From the younger generation ... Gigi sported a sailor motif that included a revealing striped top, while Bella just went with a see-through dress. Paris dialed it back quite a bit, rocking a chic-hippie look. Solid runway debut, for sure.

Tons of stars were dressed to the nines Sunday ahead of the award show -- where their own peers in SAG-AFTRA vote on who put on the best performances this year on both film and television. It's honestly one of the purest award shows -- actors judging actors.
Some celebs who've shown up so far ... John Bradley, Jane Seymour, Gaten Matarazzo, Nikki Novak, Kathryn Newton, Keltie Knight, Dacre Montgomery, Chloe Coleman, Liv Pollock, Jason Winston George, Zuri Hall, Scott Evans, James Tupper, Shireen Jiwan, Priah Ferguson, Sibley Scoles, Courtney B.

Space Force They'll Never See Us in These Unis ... If the Enemy's Blind!!!
Well, President Trump's new baby just crapped all over itself -- because the U.S. Space Force's first uniform is a big hit ... with our enemies -- in spaaaaace!!!
Space Force gave the world a sneak peek at some of its gear Friday night ... showing off a glimpse of a camouflage jacket. It's got "U.S. SPACE FORCE" on the chest ... and a "SPACE COMMAND" badge on the arm, right under the U.S. Flag. Awesome.
Except ... IT'S CAMO!!! The standard green, brown and black shades of camo are the LEAST camouflaged colors on a space ship or in space. Right?
That much was obvious to everyone on Twitter after Space Force posted the image. As some users pointed out ... Space Force appears to be battle-ready, as long as we're taking down the Ewoks on the forest planet of Endor from "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi."
Space Force, which officially launched about a month ago, has only one member so far -- Gen. John "Jay" Raymond, the Space Force Commander. Based on this first uniform, we should look into recruiting a fashion designer too.
As the Internet was quick to point out after the Space Force post ... perhaps something in black would be better for flying under the radar in space. Or maybe gray to blend in with space ships. Then again ... we don't even know what those will look like.
Pentagon, we have a problem ... lots to sort out.

Cardi B I'm all Rubbery!!!
Cardi B has plenty of game on the fashion front, but she outdid herself Friday at Paris Fashion Week.
She was at Richard Orlinski's fashion show -- a show which she stole with an outfit which is right on the line. Check out the eyes -- pretty dramatic, don't you think?
It's strangely racy and puritanical at the same time. It covers almost her entire body, but it's super form-fitting so ...
Cardi just turned 27 and has been celebrating overseas with hubby Offset. She showed up Thursday at Offset's fashion show. TMZ broke the story Quavo showed up at an after-party event, but the bodyguards didn't recognize him and initially would not let him in. Quavo was super upset and took several swings at people once inside.
Men's Paris Fashion Week goes through Sunday.
