In Moscow, the launch of the ice spectacle titled “Evenings on the Farm” featured a candid moment between pop icon Philip Kirkorov and Dmitry Peskov, the president’s press secretary, as they discussed the buzzing topic surrounding blogger Nastya Ivleeva. The scene, captured and reported by StarHit, underscored how pop culture and political attention can intersect at high-profile events. [StarHit]
Kirkorov later reflected on the night with a mix of humor and restraint. He noted that he chose to refrain from engaging in further sensational chatter and instead reminded everyone of his professional collaboration. He recounted promising Ivleeva an appearance in a video, and a New Year’s Eve gala with a dress code that, as he described it, leaned toward the nude. His own style, he added, is heavily influenced by luxury brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga. The moment of backstage calm, followed by the scene at the exit where flowers were exchanged, seemed to crystallize the clash between celebrity spectacle and backstage reality. [StarHit]
Ivleeva’s December gathering at Mutabor club drew attention for a provocative dress code that encouraged attendees to arrive half-naked. The guest list read like a who’s-who of Russian showbiz, including Ksenia Sobchak, Olga Orlova, Glukoza, Lolita Milyavskaya, and a number of musicians and entertainers such as Oksana Samoilova, rapper Vacio, and Dzhigan. The provocative concept was framed as a modern party experience that blurred the line between performance and presentation. [StarHit]
Subsequently, Ivleeva issued a video apology addressing the naked-party controversy in Moscow. She clarified that the event was envisioned as a coordinated reveal of photographs prepared for Playboy magazine, and she explained that the nearly nude dress code aligned with the overall theme while guests were free to craft their own looks. This explanation aimed to preserve the party’s artistic intent while acknowledging public reaction. [StarHit]
The episode also touched on how online personalities interact with traditional media and fashion houses, highlighting the ongoing dialogue between influencer culture and mainstream entertainment in Russia. Another notable memory from that period involved Instasamka recalling Lolita’s nickname for the event, illustrating how social media language and celebrity culture quickly become part of the public narrative.
