Hande Erçel slammed for Nocturne promo on Instagram
ALBAWABA - Hande Erçel 's latest fashion post sparks backlash and fan debate. Hande Ercel, a Turkish actress, has once again stirred up controversy on social media; however, her performance has not been met with universal approval. The actress showcased a deep emerald ensemble from the most recent collection of the premium fashion company Nocturne in a series of polished images that she posted on Instagram. These photos were taken in collaboration with Nocturne. All that was written in the caption was, "My Noc. 🖤." There were many fans who flooded the comment area with love, but there were also some critics who weren't as delighted. Critics referred to the post as "just another paid promotion" and questioned whether Ercel is prioritizing her fashion endorsement responsibilities over her acting career. Hande Erçel Instagram profile One person noted, "She is a great actress, but lately it's all about posing." She is a photographer. Those who disagreed with the style stated that it was too polished and lacked the honesty that her followers had previously enjoyed in her prior posts. However, there is no disputing the visual power that Ercel possesses. The photographs, which feature a confident stare, slick styling, and dark lighting, demonstrate her mastery of the art of manipulating brand influence. The simplicity of her commentary ensured that the attention was directed toward the photographs, which showcased Nocturne's typical glitter and clean lines. Hande Erçel Instagram profile The long-term partnership between Ercel and Nocturne has proven to be one of the most fruitful in terms of both financial success and stylistic development for the actress. However, since more and more emphasis is being paid to her fashion partnerships, some of her supporters are beginning to wonder if she is gradually moving away from the acting industry, which is where she first gained popularity. Nocturne Instagram profile There is one thing that is certain: Hande Ercel is familiar with how to maintain the spotlight, even if it means causing a little bit of controversy. This is true regardless of whether it is a calculated branding move or a true representation of her growing interests.

Also Read Jeff Bezos slammed for 'Buying Venice' as wedding sparks class war During the late hours of Wednesday night, three criminals broke into Brad Pitt's home in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles. They entered the house through a front window, as reported by the Los Angeles Police Department. Aileen Getty, an oil heiress, was the previous owner of the home that Brad Pitt purchased in 2023 for $5.5 million. Although the police have not confirmed that the home belongs to the Oscar-winning actor, the address is identical to the one that Pitt purchased before. US actor and producer Brad Pitt (Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS / AFP) The residence, which has three bedrooms, is situated next to Griffith Park, which is the location of the well-known Hollywood Sign. Additionally, it is encircled by a tall fence and abundant vegetation. On the other hand, the criminals made their getaway after "disturbing its contents and stealing multiple items," as said in a statement released by the police. Although the investigation is still underway, the authorities have not yet determined the nature or worth of the things that were stolen, nor have they identified the individuals who committed the theft. The occurrence occurred at the same time that Pitt was in London for the premiere of his newest picture, F1, within the European continent. Alongside him, Tom Cruise and Lewis Hamilton, the reigning Formula One world champion, promoted the picture, which is due to be released in theaters on June 27. He also made an appearance in the film. During the promotional tour, Brad Pitt gave an interview to the media and addressed the following question: "I've been wondering lately: Do I still have stories to tell? Is there anything else that I can impart to you? Is there anything or anyone that I'm still looking forward to? He concluded by saying, "[This film] has given me that passion again." In the city of Los Angeles, such an incident is not the first instance of its kind to occur. There have been recent instances of burglaries committed against the residences of several celebrities, including Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. After breaking into the gate of Jennifer Aniston's home while she was married to Brad Pitt, a man was taken into custody and charged with stalking and damage. The incident occurred one month ago.
