Rachel Sennott is on board for leopard print fall, but her version comes with a party girl twist.

Last night, to support her I Love LA costar Jordan Firstman at the Los Angeles premiere of his film Club Kid, she melded autumn’s burgeoning animal-print dress code with a hit of boudoir glamour. The actor’s speckled minidress had all the makings of a ’90s-worthy slip, but its purple lace neckline brought some racy maximalism to the mix. For a suggestive final touch, the dress featured a tiny silver lock-and-key charm.

Throughout her I Love LA press tour, the star proved her penchant for main character moments on the red carpet—from a campy pin-up roller look to a full-body sheer premiere gown. Even as an audience member at a screening, her fashion has just as much frisson.

The Club Kid premiere doubled as a reunion for the ultra-stylish I Love LA cast. True Whitaker sported a slinky black slip, Odessa A’zion donned a trailing sheer top, and Firstman wore a swanky suit with an exaggerated bubblegum collar. The HBO series, which is written and executive produced by Sennott, debuted at the end of 2025 and was quickly renewed for a second season. Filming for that kicked off in July, and it will have Firstman reprising his role.

While I Love LA finds Sennott and Firstman as chronically online hustlers in Hollywood’s entertainment industry, Club Kid is all-the-way New York. It follows Firstman as an eternal partier whose life is upended when he becomes responsible for a 10-year-old boy. Still, like I Love LA, it’s dripping with internet inside jokes and IYKYK humor. Along with attending last night’s screening, Sennott is continuing her support for her friend by hosting a Q&A for the film this weekend, following its theatrical release on November 6.

Her promotional efforts make sense, since Sennott and Firstman have been longtime collaborators. Both rose to fame with a specific satirical humor and, as Firstman said in an interview with Cultured Magazine, “an unconventional hotness that people are scared of.” Sennott specifically went viral for her 2019 parody of L.A.’s party scene, where she famously quipped, “I’m addicted to drugs.… We all are!” Since then, she has reliably brought this cheekiness to her red-carpet wares. So naturally, her take on leopard print would have an after-hours edge.

Jimmy Choo’s Choo Series

Jimmy Choo has introduced a new storytelling series celebrating life’s moments of transformation, and it’s kicking off this new endeavor, called Choo Stories, with the help of pop star Olivia Dean. Jimmy Choo has long been present for life’s milestones, big and small. Choo Stories expands on this with the belief that the joy of wearing something extraordinary is always worth celebrating. Through narration and a personal lens, each Choo Stories will place a protagonist at the heart of the story, exploring themes of transformation, confidence, self-expression, craftsmanship, and mastery.

This inaugural Choo Stories follows Dean through her sold-out world tour, The Art of Loving Live, for which the singer wore custom and ready-to-wear Jimmy Choo stompers. The images take the viewer both backstage at a Dean concert and behind the scenes of Jimmy Choo’s London design studio. There, one can see the relationship between maker and muse. This peek behind the curtain provides a new perspective on both Dean and Jimmy Choo, and allows the viewer to step into the shoes of their friends of the house.

John Hardy x Billie Eilish & Finneas

John Hardy is expanding on its relationship with Academy and Grammy Award-winning siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas. The musical duo was announced as John Hardy creative partners last year, but now they’ve surpassed the traditional role of brand ambassador by designing a jewelry collection in collaboration with the house. The Billie Eilish and Finneas collection was created with an emphasis on sustainability. It was designed using more responsible materials, including reclaimed metals, and made in production facilities powered entirely by renewable energy. As far as design, the collection represents a study in the contrast and complement of Eilish and Finneas’s personal styles. It is built around two personas: the understated wildflower and the bold and industrial screwball. The flower motif is represented throughout, rendered in sterling silver, lab-grown diamonds, and pearls. The screwball-inspired pieces, meanwhile, introduce a minimalist edge with sculptural chain links and spherical hardware evocative of piercings. While distinctive, the two styles are meant to be worn together in order to emphasize the tension between the delicate wallflower and the utilitarian screwball. The Billie Eilish and Finneas collection is available now at John Hardy stores, select retail partners, and johnhardy.com.

Banana Republic x Zankov

Henry Zankov is busy. Not only did the designer just present his debut collection for Diane Von Furstenberg alongside the latest for his eponymous brand at New York Fashion Week, but he also designed a collaboration with Banana Republic. Comprised of 27 pieces, the limited-edition, unisex capsule reflects both brands’ approach to craft and detail, offering unexpected pieces made from high-quality materials.

This is Zankov we’re talking about, so of course knits are the cornerstone of the collection. Brushed cashmere and wool yarns create sweaters of vivid stripes and Fair Isle patterns. Zankov looked to the Banana Republic archives when designing the capsule, and one leather and suede-paneled pencil skirt finds its origins in a 1986 style of similar construction. Leather pops up elsewhere in a burgundy bomber jacket and on the collar of a car coat. Accessories round it out with a selection of reversible hats, colorful socks, and scarves. The pieces are simple but exciting, bright and joyous, and inherently grounded in the languages of both Banana Republic and Zankov. The collection ranges in price from $90 to $600 and will be available to the public at select Banana Republic stores and online at bananarepublic.com starting October 20.

Patek Philippe Gondolo Ladies First

Patek Philippe has launched six new Gondolo Ladies First watches. Rendered in bright hues with sophisticated gem settings, the styles recall the original 2009 design while updating it for today. The collection redefines Patek Philippe's relationship with its female clients, offering an easy-to-wear jewelry watch that balances modern and vintage appeal. Set with hundreds of diamonds and offered in white and rose gold cases, the Gondolo watches are rich in detail but free of excess, the perfect accompaniment to a woman’s everyday wardrobe.

JW Anderson x Ugg

Thanks to Ugg and JW Anderson, you won’t have to choose between warmth and style this winter. The two brands have come together to present two of Ugg’s iconic styles—the Classic Boot and Tasman—with a JW Anderson loafer twist. The shoes were designed around JW Anderson’s signature shoe style, and the result toes the line between comfort and class. Motifs from both brands can be seen in the offerings, with JWA’s construction and Ugg’s signature materials both on display.

“Uggs are instantly recognizable, and I was interested in seeing something so familiar through the lens of JW Anderson,” Jonathan Anderson said. “For me, collaboration is about experimentation, bringing two distinct points of view together and seeing where that leads. We’ve explored the loafer extensively at JW Anderson, not only as footwear but also through its details applied to bags and ready-to-wear. I wanted to see how that language could translate into Ugg.”

The offerings are unisex and available in three colorways selected by Anderson: chestnut, khaki, and orange. They are available for purchase in stores and at jwanderson.com and ugg.com beginning October 15.

Christie’s and Boucheron’s Ode to Jewels

The storied jewelry brand Boucheron was founded nearly 100 years after Christie’s held its first auction in 1766. Despite the age gap, however, the two companies both hold rich histories and a sense of legacy within their respective industries. So it only makes sense for them to partner up on a new project—an exhibition created in collaboration between Boucheron and Christie’s called Boucheron: In Focus—A Monograph of a Visionary. On view in New York City from October 9 to 18, the show features over 80 creations drawn from the jewelry house’s heritage, past, and present. In Focus is divided into four sections that speak to Boucheron’s roots, codes, and inspiration: architecture, nature, couture, and innovation. Highlights include Human Being making its American debut, as well as the brand’s newest high jewelry Carte Blanche collection, which will be open to the public as well. “Our history with the United States goes back much further than our physical presence there,” Hélène Poulit-Duquesne, CEO of Maison Boucheron, said in a statement. “The first American clients appeared in Boucheron’s order books as early as 1865, and in 1903, Louis Boucheron opened an office in New York to maintain these close ties. And yet, it was only in 2024 that we opened our first American boutique, on Madison Avenue. This exhibition marks an important new milestone in our American journey.” For more information, click here.

Cartier’s Into the Wild Collection

Cartier is kicking off Tilda Swinton’s tenure as an ambassador for the high jewelry brand by making her the face of its newest collection. The Scottish actor models the over-the-top pieces of Cartier’s new Into the Wild offerings. Swinton shows off five creatures, whose stylized heads are rendered as extravagant rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. A diamond-encrusted tiger gnaws at her finger, while an emerald-eye crocodile eats its tail as a bracelet clasp. The pieces toe the line between realism and abstraction. The animals’ likenesses are clear, but their bodies are distorted and graphic. The Cartier panther, for example, looks to have been stretched from its neck, elongated into a sleek bangle. Elsewhere, it perches on a clock face as the keeper of time. There is a whimsical beauty imbued in the collection, which is likely why Swinton, with her enigmatic grace, was chosen to represent it. She artfully crawls towards the camera like the crocodiles that adorn her neck and finger, embodying the strength of character and freedom of spirit exemplified by the jewels.

Moncler’s Re/Icons 2026 Collection

Moncler is revisiting four iconic styles from the brand’s past and reinterpreting them for a new era. Set around the theme of “Pioneers in Moncler with Extraordinary Dreams,” this year’s Re/Icons collection remains rooted in the mountains and Moncler’s pioneering foundation. Designs from as far back as the 1950s center the brand’s adventurous spirit and connection to iconism, cementing Moncler’s place in alpine history.

The collection features reimagined versions of the Karakorum, Verone, Himalaya, and Tibb. The Karakorum was originally designed in 1954 for Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli as part of the Italian expedition that achieved the first successful ascent of K2, the world’s second-highest mountain. Fast-forward a few decades for background on the Verone, which gained popularity in Italy in the ’80s when the puffer jacket became part of the metropolitan uniform. But this season, the Re/Icons collection expands beyond outerwear. For the first time, Moncler is also offering a collection of full looks, including windbreakers, T-shirts, pants, and skirts, as well as accessories. Cozy beanies and silk-twill foulards are available, as well as titanium and leather sunglasses inspired by vintage climbing goggles. Every individual piece is updated in a way that makes it feel relevant in the 21st century while maintaining its place in both mountaineering and fashion history.

Rob Roth’s Blondie T-Shirt

Artist and designer Rob Roth has launched a series of limited-edition, one-of-a-kind T-shirts at Dover Street Market New York. The first of the series features images of Debbie Harry, captured by Blondie cofounder Chris Stein. Roth reimagines the photographs through a collage-driven approach that blends art, photography, and fashion with a punk sensibility. The patch-working also acts as an homage to William S. Burroughs, a friend of both Stein’s and Harry’s. Burroughs was known for using “the cut-up method,” a technique in which he snipped and rearranged existing text to create unexpected combinations and meanings. In a similar vein, Roth has brought together two separate images to create a fresh composition: a reinterpretation of Stein’s photography through Roth’s distinct visual perspective. As Roth said in a statement, “Sometimes, you have to turn the frame upside-down.”

Roth sourced vintage T-shirts for the project, which he then sliced up and sewed together in new ways; this makes the garments another extension of the cut-up process. Each piece was finished with minimal embellishments and found objects. All of this means no two tops are alike. “This series of collectible, wearable art is a T-shirt lover’s dream,” said Harry. The shirts are available in limited quantities now at Dover Street Market New York. 

Banana Republic x La Ligne

Banana Republic and La Ligne have solved all your fall wardrobe worries. The two brands teamed on a 36-piece collection, which brings a fresh perspective to fall classics. The collaboration centers on functional pieces that can not only build upon each other, but also fit into an existing wardrobe. La Ligne’s three cofounders drew inspiration from the Banana Republic archives, reinterpreting many mainstay elements with contemporary proportions and a rich, fall-adjacent color palette. Of course, La Ligne’s signature stripes are present in an array of shirts, sweaters, and accessories. There is also an emphasis on outerwear, represented by a nubuck barn jacket, belted suede wrap coat, and cape trench. Finally, sweaters—a cornerstone of both brands—are plentiful, with offerings rendered in soft cashmere and chunky cotton. It’s all about the classics done right. The Banana Republic and La Ligne collection is available now at select Banana Republic stores and online at bananarepublic.com.

Givenchy By Sarah Burton’s Shark Pinch Boot

For fall/winter 2026, Sarah Burton reworked (and renamed) Givenchy’s iconic Shark Pinch Boot. The new design elongates the original, bringing it thigh-high, while added “pinch” hardware at the top hearkens back to accessories introduced in Burton’s first season with the brand. Still, the unmistakable boldness of the original shape remains at play. The boot simultaneously embraces the leg while creating a unique and sculptural silhouette. The style has already become a celeb favorite. Anya Taylor-Joy wore the footwear while promoting The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in March, and Ariana Grande donned a custom, embroidered pair on the opening night of her current tour. Finally, you can stick your feet in them, too. The Shark Pinch Boot in its many variations is available now in-store and online at givenchy.com.

Polo Ralph Lauren’s Polo Blaze Bag

Polo Ralph Lauren has launched a new bag just in time for fall. The Polo Blaze bag is named after the white marking on a horse’s face from the forehead to the nose. With sculptural lines and distinctive hardware, the piece represents a bold reimagining of equestrian spirit for the Polo Ralph Lauren woman. The bag is elevated yet effortless, crafted in moto-inspired leathers. The smaller top-handle option is prim and ladylike, while the wider, small-shoulder variety provides a bit of edge. The large shoulder version, finally, balances downtown edge with heritage elegance, providing a new, modern take on a work or travel tote. All three Polo Blaze bags are available now on ralphlauren.com.

Omega Speedmaster 38mm Update

Omega is sharpening up its Speedmaster 38 mm with seven new references that bring the compact chronograph closer to the house’s iconic Moonwatch. The refresh swaps oval subdials for rounded ones, pares back the dial text, and adds a chunkier bezel and Moonwatch-style bracelet. The lineup ranges from classic black-on-steel to icy blue, mother-of-pearl, and two-tone gold versions, with two diamond-set options for a little extra flash. Consider it a cleaner, more polished take on one of watchmaking’s most recognizable silhouettes. For more info visit omegawatches.com.

Dilara Findikoglu’s Bridal Capsule

Alt brides, rejoice. Dilara Findikoglu has released her first-ever bridal capsule. The wedding-ready pieces fit seamlessly in Findikoglu’s Victorian-inspired oeuvre, with the lingerie-adjacent designs mirroring existing signatures from the designer’s collection. Never one to follow rules, Findikoglu said she wanted to take part in the ritual of weddings, but aimed to do so in her own way. The result is a collection comprised of just eight ruffle- and ribbon-covered pieces. There’s a lace-up mini dress, honeymoon-worthy bra-and-panties set, and a sophisticated, tailored look perfect for the courthouse bride. A pink mesh dress adds a girlish touch—ideal for those eschewing white—for the fashionable bridesmaid, while a classic corset can easily be recycled following the nuptials. The collection is available now on dilarafindikoglu.com.

Mikimoto x Chrome Hearts

Pearl jeweler Mikimoto and fashion label Chrome Hearts have reunited on another collaboration, two years after their first in 2024. Born from a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, individuality, and timeless design, the collection unites Mikimoto’s pearls with classic Chrome Hearts motifs and metalwork. The five pieces from the first collection, previously rendered in white gold, are now available in 22-karat gold hardware with Akoya pearls and natural diamonds. Two drop earrings, a bracelet, a safety-pin brooch, and a necklace offer traditional jewelry with an added edge, balancing refinement and rebellion in a collection that feels authentic to both brands. Mikimoto x Chrome Hearts is available exclusively at Chrome Hearts Aoyama; Mount Row in London; and the Mikimoto stores in Ginza, New York, and Hong Kong. Also, for a limited time, well-heeled shoppers can peruse the goods via private appointment at Chrome Hearts Cannes and St. Barths.

Hailey Bieber x Gap

Now you don’t have to dig through secondhand bins to mimic Hailey Bieber’s laid-back denim style. Any fan of the model knows she loves a vintage Gap jean, and she has officially teamed up with the clothing brand to make her favorite, effortless styles available to all. Introducing: The Hailey Jean, a limited-edition denim capsule that reimagines Gap’s designs through Bieber’s lens. The line is inspired by that effortless ’90s look, as well as the Gap silhouettes Bieber champions in her day-to-day life: the Extra Baggy and Low Rise Loose. Updated fit proportions usher the pieces into the 21st century, while six custom washes allow for an array of styling options. Bieber’s personalization of the jeans continues with the addition of a “1996” design detail referencing Bieber’s birth year, and the model’s signature printed inside the pocket lining. “Gap has been a part of my wardrobe since I was a kid, so this came together very organically,” the model said in a statement. “Nineteen-ninety-six was the year I was born and I get a lot of style inspiration from the ’90s because there was something so effortless about that era and the way people wore denim.” The Hailey Jean launches on July 16 online and in select Gap stores.

Gu Fall/Winter 2026

Former creative director of Marni, Francesco Risso, is going accessible. The designer just released the fall 2026 collection for Gu, his first as the creative director of the Uniqlo sister brand. The collection marks a turning point for the label, introducing a new design approach built around six lifestyle concepts. Together, these wardrobes—minimal, classic, playful, utility, sport, and cozy —represent the way people live today. Each one outfits a specific character, while encouraging combination in order to create the perfect personal style. The classic line features nostalgic, ’70s-inspired pieces, reinterpreted through a modern lens, while the playful offerings introduce colors and patterns that allow for radical expression. Among all of the pieces, there is truly something for everyone.

“What interests me most about clothing is its ability to accompany life,” Risso said in a statement. “The wardrobe of today needs to feel grounded and accessible, yet also leave space for imagination, individuality, and play. The six lifestyle concepts are an attempt to reflect that reality; everyday dressing can be both practical and expressive, familiar and surprising.” The collection has already started to roll out, and will be available in full in stores and on gu-global.com on July 24.

Pandora Wonders

Pandora is launching a new multiyear creative platform, Pandora Wonders, which will explore a distinct material annually. Up first, freshwater pearls, placed front and center in a whimsical collection co–created by British stylist Harry Lambert. The charms take on the shapes of ice cream cones, mushrooms, squids, and more, all rendered with one-of-a-kind freshwater baroque pearls. That makes each piece a collector’s item, as no two pearls are the exact same. They were chosen distinctly for their shape—because they resembled the body of a rocket ship or the head of a mouse—and are finished with 14-karat gold-plated details and crystals for added sparkle. “I’m such a fan of pearls, so I’m thrilled to bring a renewed sense of childlike delight and nostalgia to Pandora’s unique world of charms,” Lambert said in a statement. Per usual with Pandora, the charms can be worn in a multitude of ways: on necklaces, bracelets, hooked onto hoop earrings, and more. Pandora Wonders will be available in select stores and online at Pandora.net on July 9, 2026.

Birkenstock x Repetto

Balletcore and gorpcore unite in one of the most unexpected footwear collaborations of the summer. Beloved French shoe brand Repetto is transforming classic Birkenstock silhouettes that scream more girly girl than outdoorswoman. Think the classic Boston sandal with its rounded toe, but this time topped with a little bow and finished off with a satin ribbon to be tied up the ankle and calf. The metal buckles of the Arizona, meanwhile, are replaced by oversized rounded ones, and completed in monochrome. Finally, the Opéra offers the most Frankensteined option, melding the two brands together into a rounded, closed-toe shoe with two delicate top straps and a graceful laced bow. All styles are offered in three colors—black, pretty pale pink, and very cherry red—in suede, matte, and patent leather, and boast gingham inserts for an added girly touch. The Birkenstock x Repetto collection will launch on July 16 on 1774.com, repetto.com, and at selected retailers worldwide.

Converse x Collina Strada

Converse is a classic for a reason, but even classics can stand an update from time to time—and Collina Strada is the perfect brand to inject a little bit of zest into your sneakers for the summer. Converse x Collina Stada reimagines the Chuck 70 with a playful lens, adding texture, embellishment, and color to the high, low, and even knee-high silhouettes. Gems, lace, charms— nothing is off limits in this collab, which features multiple colorways, from cutesy pale yellow and pinks to more Gothic black. The styles already walked the runway—both at Collina Strada’s September 2025 and February 2026 New York Fashion Week shows—but now they’re finally available to buy, at collinastrada.com, converse.com, and in select retailers.

Mango x Eckhaus Latta

The international retailers continue their quest to make designer brands more accessible, and now, it’s time for Mango and Eckhaus Latta to team up. The two labels have released a summer collection that marries Eckhaus’s experimental nature with Mango’s universality, bringing the cult favorite New York brand to the masses. Denim shines with foil finishes while sheer fabric pops up in dresses, tops, and skirts. Paillettes dangle from the detachable belt of a diaphanous shirt, and braided leather is woven into totes and handbags. Eckhaus Latta’s ethos is absolutely there, guided by the hand of Mango, and the result is a wardrobe that will keep you cool (in both senses of the term) all summer long. Mango x Eckhaus Latta is available now on mango.com.

Bad Bunny and Zara Present Benito Antonio

The budding relationship between Bad Bunny and Zara has finally reached its peak. After wearing custom looks by the retailer to both the Super Bowl and the Met Gala this year, Bad Bunny has switched from customer to designer, creating a 150-piece capsule with the brand. Inspired by Bad Bunny’s identity, the collection is named after the Puerto Rican performer, who was born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. Ocasio worked with his longtime creative director, Janthony Oliveras, on clothes that fit distinctly within the musician’s point of view. Graphic tees in an array of colors, patchwork boxer shorts, zip-up hoodies, and baseball caps comprise the majority of the collection, which is just begging to be worn throughout summer. A double-breasted blazer and an array of more casual button-downs will make going into the office this July a little more bearable. Benito Antonio is comprised of everyday essentials, but with details that make it unique. Patterns clash, pinks shine bright, and the slogan, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” which he declared during his historic Grammy win, encapsulates the joy in these clothes. Benito Antonio is available now at zara.com and in select Zara stores worldwide.

Tiffany & Co.’s Sixteen Stone Solitaire Diamond Ring

When Raye wrote the lyrics, “I would like a diamond ring on my wedding finger,” we can only imagine she had Tiffany & Co.’s Sixteen Stone Solitaire Diamond Ring in mind. The piece is the newest expression of Tiffany’s storied Sixteen Stone collection, continuing an evolution started by Jean Schlumberger in 1959. The classic X motif is featured throughout the ring, creating the illusion of diamonds held together by metal threads. In the center sits a solitaire stone, available in 2 to 2.99 carat sizes, and set with a basket of X-shaped prongs. Crafted in platinum and 18k yellow gold, the design is perfect for everyday wear or saved for special occasions.

Louis Vuitton Nicolas Ghesquière Soho Pop-Up

Louis Vuitton is paying homage to its beloved artistic director, Nicolas Ghesquière, with a pop-up-store-slash-exhibition in New York City dedicated to him. Located in Soho, the space features a curated retrospective of Ghesquière’s iconic ready-to-wear looks from throughout the years, all available for purchase. In addition, a separate gallery spotlights various styles of Ghesquière’s Petite Malle, originally introduced in the fall/winter 2014 show. The mini-exhibition aspect is emphasized by large screens in the center of the main space that project archival footage from runway shows of the collections on view, ranging from spring/summer 2019 to fall/winter 2025. It is truly a celebration of Ghesquière’s Louis Vuitton, and it’s open to the public from now through early June.

Isabel Marant x Havaianas

Your summer footwear solution is here. Isabel Marant and Havaianas have come together as brands from distinct cultural universes to create a limited-edition capsule of two flip-flop styles. First, there’s a reinterpretation of Havaianas’s classic design, now finished in red and tan tie-dye. Those who want something a bit bolder will gravitate toward the all-new Havaianas Puffed, a bold flip-flop that emphasizes volume and comfort alongside style. Black and white designs are finished off with puffer-like straps, studded with metal embellishment for additional edge. Though flip-flops, these shoes will undoubtedly fit in just as well on the city streets as on the beach, allowing for a relaxed, yet elevated addition to your summer wardrobe. Havaianas x Isabel Marant launches on Friday, May 22, at select Havaianas and Isabel Marant stores around the world as well as on both isabelmarant.com and havaianas.com.

Balenciaga x Manolo Blahnik

The heels featured in Balenciaga’s fall 2026 collection—a brainchild between the fashion house and Manolo Blahnik—can finally be yours. Three styles make up the capsule collection, inspired by pieces from the Manolo archives and chosen by Pierpaolo Piccioli. The silk-satin shoes are offered in both slingbacks and mules at 105mm and 55mm. The designs are all rendered in black with injections of butter yellow, emerald, and violet, hues that feel both quintessentially Balenciaga and Manolo Blahnik. A hand-embroidered, asymmetric crystal leaf ornament tops every pair, and negates the need for additional jewelry. “This collaboration came to life for very personal reasons,” Piccioli said in a statement, adding matter-of-factly: “I simply like Manolo. That’s it.” The collaboration is available online now at balenciaga.com and in select stores.

Louis Vuitton’s Color Blossom Watch

Louis Vuitton is continuing its expansion of the Color Blossom collection, officially adding timepieces to the fine jewelry line. The new watches capture the design signature and colorful expression of the house’s iconic monogram flower, placing the sun-shaped emblem at the center of the design. The pieces are offered in four versions, including one that boasts a mother-of-pearl dial, steel case, and light beige strap. Other varietals add color in the form of pink gold and yellow gold cases, amazonite dials, and the most glamorous option set with nearly a carat of diamonds. All offer an elegant, refined look, allowing the piece to sit at the crossroads of jewelry and watches.

“We wished to reinterpret an iconic jewelry collection, presenting a women’s timepiece with a jewelry spirit,” said artistic director at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, Matthieu Hegi. “With the mother-of-pearl or hardstone dials, or a diamond-set case, there is also an inherently precious essence, which perfectly reflects the Color Blossom collection.”

Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop Watch

Watch purists, look away. As more and more fashion brands continue to dip their toes in high/low collaborations, it only makes sense for the watch industry to follow suit. And based on the excitement and lines forming outside the Swatch store almost a week ahead of the release, the market is absolutely there for the new Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop Watch.

Fine watchmaker Audemars Piguet has teamed with Swatch on the Royal Pop, a new collection that combines AP’s iconic Royal Oak design with the modern and colorful Swatch Pop watch. The Royal Pop is a pocket watch, produced in eight eye-catching colors. The piece features design elements of the Royal Oak: an octagon shape and bezel with eight screws. The front of the watch is pretty sleek, but a flip over reveals an explosive back with the “Royal Pop” logo emblazoned in large letters. Three calfskin lanyards of varying length and a small removable strap allow the piece to be worn around your neck, on your wrist, in your pocket, or attached to your bag as another charm next to your decaying Labubu. Basically, however you dream of styling this piece, you can achieve it. That is, if you can get your hands on it. The Royal Pop will be available on May 16 in selected Swatch stores. Likely, they’ll be sold out not long after.

Jacques Marie Mage by Haider Ackermann

Jacques Marie Mage’s commitment to artisanal precision meets Haider Ackermann’s singular vision to bring us a special collection of limited-edition eyewear. The three frames represent Ackermann’s fashion instinct, as well as the polish and sophistication for which he is known. Simple yet resonant, the pieces are made for standing out in the best way possible. Titanium and acetate options offer sleek accessorizing, while leather-wrapped versions of two of the designs add sumptuous texture. “We have a mutual passion for what we do, and a mutual appreciation for a non-compromising approach to design,” JMM founder and creative director Jérôme Mage said about himself and the Tom Ford designer. “We really bonded over that commonality, the idea that design is a presence in every part and phase of your life.” The collection is available now at JMM Galleries, jacquesmariemage.com, and select retailers worldwide.

Givenchy’s Voyou Bucket Bag

There’s a new It bag on the horizon. Givenchy has released the Voyou bucket bag, which takes its name from French slang for a mischief-maker. The Voyou is chic yet practical, with biker-inspired finishes on a leather drawstring bag perfect for daily use. The piece is crafted in calf leather with a fine grain and glossy finish. A top handle as well as adjustable, over-the-shoulder and crossbody straps allow for versatility of wear, while a generous central compartment invites the wearer to toss in all their daily needs. With a pull of the drawstring, the bag’s shape transforms, creating a unique triangular silhouette that fits comfortably on the arm. The Voyou is offered in ivory, light pink, chocolate, or black leather with gold-finish hardware, and in cobalt blue leather with silver-finish hardware. It is available now in-store and online at givenchy.com.

Gap x Victoria Beckham

If you don’t consider yourself “Rock Royalty” enough for H&M x Stella McCartney and the Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers collab is a bit too bright for you, you’re in luck. These days, there’s a high-low designer collaboration for everyone, with Gap x Victoria Beckham rounding out the trio currently on the market. Posh is all set to release a 38-piece collection with Gap, the first of a multi-season partnership between the international retailer and British designer.

“To me, Gap is an all-American icon—a brand that has always created timeless pieces for everybody’s wardrobe, with a sharp attention to detail,” Beckham said in a statement. Timeless is definitely a keyword when describing the resulting collaboration. For this first foray, Beckham focused on the building blocks of a wardrobe: denim, khaki, tees, shirting, and fleeces. The designer makes her mark on the pieces with her signature subtly stitched in red, while classic Gap logo hoodies and tees boast the addition of her name. There is a clear vintage influence thanks to the inclusion of Gap silhouettes from the ’80s and ’90s and utilitarian themes round out the offerings. The Gap x Victoria Beckham collection launches April 24 on Gap.com and in select Gap stores globally.

Burberry x Hunza G

Burberry is doubling down on summer, following up its recent High Summer collection by collaborating with one of the biggest brands in swimwear: Hunza G. Launching just in time for beach weather, Burberry x Hunza G combines the latter’s signature silhouettes and Original Crinkle ultra-stretch fabric with iconic Burberry colors and patterns (yes, including the check). Hunza G’s Faye, Tyler, Domino, and Devyn styles are reimagined in a heritage-inspired color palette of black, white, metallic cocoa, and red. Each piece comes with a matching scrunchie to complete the look. Burberry x Hunza G is available now on burberry.com and hunzag.com, as well as in select stores worldwide.

Alexandra Leclerc x Frame

Those who devoured every piece of content from Alexandra Leclerc’s wedding to Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc are in luck. Just in time for the Miami Grand Prix, Frame has released a new collaboration with the influencer and art curator. The 21-piece collection is inspired by the glamour of Monaco and designed as a complete wardrobe of European summer essentials. A new denim silhouette, The Leo, offers a relaxed, low-slung fit, while a leather option allows for a slightly more elevated look. The season’s hottest pattern, gingham, is represented in capris and a matching top, while a floral silk scarf makes for the perfect accessory. “This collection is really a reflection of my everyday life and wardrobe: what I wear, where I go, and how I move through Monaco,” Leclerc said in a statement. “It felt natural to bring Frame into that world and capture the city and collection through a personal, lived-in perspective.” The capsule collection will be available on May 1 in Frame stores, at frame-store.com, and at select retailers globally.

Giorgio Armani’s Armani/Archivio

Giorgio Armani has launched the second iteration of Armani/Archivio, a project designed to preserve and enhance the brand’s heritage and legacy. The interactive platform was created in 2025 to mark the brand’s 50th anniversary and to collect and organize Armani’s archives in a publicly accessible online library. At this point, it has over 200 collections listed, featuring over 5,500 runway looks and more than 30,200 individual items. Now, Armani is taking findings from that archive and turning a handful of the best designs into reeditions. Thirteen men’s and women’s looks from Armani collections between 1979 and 1994 have been reproduced for sale. This first capsule focuses on the jacket and the many iterations on the outerwear designed by Armani in those fifteen years, with pieces specifically selected for their enduring relevance. The Armani/Archivio collection will be available on armani.com in early May as well as in select Giorgio Armani boutiques.

Zadig & Voltaire Jack Mini

Zadig & Voltaire’s best-selling Jack bag is shrinking down. The Jack Mini reimagines the brand’s signature silhouette in a scaled-down format perfect for everyday wear. Crafted in leather and featuring an adjustable handle and strap, the Jack Mini offers versatility, allowing you to carry it by hand, over the shoulder, or crossbody. The Jack Mini is available in three color and fabric variations. The brown suede offers a more classic look, while the hot-pink patent leather option is for those looking to make a statement. The last offering in black patent leather, meanwhile, transitions seamlessly from day to night. The Jack Mini is available now on zadig-et-voltaire.com and at Zadig & Voltaire flagship stores.

Tiffany & Co. Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden

Monarch butterflies mid-flight, budding florals, bejeweled birds—the latest installment of Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Book high jewelry collection, titled Hidden Garden, captures the natural world in its most resplendent form. Designed by Chief Artistic Officer Nathalie Verdeille in collaboration with the Tiffany Design Studio, the offering draws inspiration from spring renewal and rebirth and builds on the legacy of legendary designer Jean Schlumberger and his famed Bird on a Rock. Themes of growth run throughout, expressed in hand-shaped gold vines, platinum leaves, and striking geometric compositions. As one of the house’s most storied traditions, the Blue Book continues to evolve—balancing heritage with modern innovation for a new generation of collectors.

Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers

Old Navy is continuing its championing of American designers with another collaboration—and this time, it’s all about color. What else should one expect when Christopher John Rogers is in the mix? The designer lent his expert eye for bright hues to the classic retailer for a collection of ready-to-wear and accessories, including bags and scarves. Rogers’s signature patterns and saturated colors appear throughout the collection: in a knit skirt set, cotton maxi shirt dress, and easy-to-wear denim. The playfulness that Rogers brings to his own work is also at play in the collaboration, and numerous matching sets offer the ability to mix and match with abandon.

“Old Navy has always represented an optimistic vision of American style—something joyful, expressive, and open to everyone,” Rogers says in a statement. “With this collection, we wanted to bring our love of color, shape, and statement dressing into a space where more people can experience it and make it their own.” Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers is available to shop now at oldnavy.com and in select Old Navy stores nationwide.

H&M x Stella McCartney

The high-low collaborations continue with a new partnership between H&M and Stella McCartney. Over twenty years after first working together, the two brands are joining forces again, and that history will come into play with these new and reinvented styles. Archival inspirations meet current signatures, including oversize shirting, sharp tailoring, and bejeweled prints and slogan tops. “I see this collection as a journey through my fashion history,” McCartney says. “It is a true mix of current classics and some of my old favorites that showcase my foray into fashion and the development of my signatures. It’s playful, strong, sparkling, joyful, refined.” Mesh dresses are perfect nighttime looks, while sleek sets were made for the office. And, of course, bags are on offer too, specifically six styles ranging from large totes to more compact clutches. The Falabella chain detail, a classic for Stella McCartney, pops up throughout the collection, decorating bags, loafers, and jewelry, while McCartney’s famous “Rock Royalty” shirt returns once again. Get it all for yourself beginning on May 7.

Alaïa Denim

There are many changes underway at Alaïa. With Pieter Mulier’s departure from the brand, a new creative director will soon step in to fill the space. But in the meantime, Alaïa is hardly twiddling its thumbs. Instead, the brand is branching into a new lane, denim, with a line of jeans designed to sculpt and define women’s lower half.

To be clear, denim is hardly a new fabric for Alaïa, which has been showing jeans for decades. But now, Alaïa Denim will stand on its own as the brand becomes a go-to for the wardrobe staple. The styles were developed over the course of a year, and as a result, each piece is refined and exact. The brand will offer six shapes: Bootcut, Palazzo, Fit and Flare, Round, Skinny, and Straight. Each style comes in a different wash, with the Bootcut rendered in a deep-sea blue and the Fit-and-Flare offering a more sand-washed option. The denim itself was made in Japan, where it was rope-dyed and treated to perfection, just like one would a second skin. Alaïa Denim is available now on maison-alaia.com and across the brand’s retail network.

Vatísmo by Willy Chavarria for Zara

While we must wait until September to see what John Galliano has in store for Zara, Willy Chavarria’s collection for the global retailer will be available much sooner. Vatísmo allows Chavarria’s creative perspective to reach a new, worldwide platform, without diluting the designer’s vision. The collection highlights Chavarria’s signature style, including his precise tailoring and strong silhouettes. Rendered in Italian fabrics, leather, cupro, denim, knits, and jerseys, the line references American workwear and Chavarria’s own Chicano cultural identity. The name of the collection is a colloquial term used in the Chicano community to refer to friends, partners, homies, and loved ones. With his collection, Chavarria is extending the boundaries of his community to include the masses. Vatísmo features ready-to-wear, jewelry, and accessories, and will be available in select Zara stores and online at zara.com beginning on March 26.

John Hardy’s Icon Stud Collection

John Hardy zeroes in on its signature codes with the launch of Icon Stud, a sharp modernist collection that pairs architectural pyramid studs with the brand’s Balinese handwoven chain. Designed under Reed Krakoff, the line marks the second chapter of the house’s creative partnership with Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell; their influence is felt in a balance of edge and delicacy. Spanning earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings in silver, gold, and diamond pavé, the pieces are designed for daily wear with impact. As John Hardy celebrates 50 years, Icon Stud signals a sleeker, more directional evolution for the heritage brand. Shop the collection now at John Hardy boutiques and johnhardy.com.

Stetson & THE GREAT.

Fashion’s Western fixation continues, and if The Great’s latest collaboration is an indication, the trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The clothing brand has partnered with Stetson for a 25-piece collection that combines The Great’s classic Americana style with Stetson’s 160-year-old Western heritage.

Faded blues, calming neutrals, and gently worn reds make up the color palette for the collection. Floral embroidery and vintage-influenced prints appear on a wardrobe that impressively remains modern in spite of its classic Western details.

Ranging in price from $45 to $625, offerings include embroidered chambray tops and matching skirts to be topped with cozy belted cardigans. Of course, there are hats featuring Stetson’s signature craftsmanship, along with belts, bags, and a variety of cowboy boots. Stetson & The Great is available online now at www.stetson.com and www.thisisthegreat.com, as well as The Great’s retail locations and select stockists.

Thom Browne x Asics

It seems like these days, every luxury brand is dipping its toes into the sneaker market—and now, Thom Browne is the latest designer to tap into his sporty side. Browne has partnered with Asics on a new shoe that reinterprets the Gel-Kayano 14 using luxury materials and finishes. Performance merges with Thom Browne’s signature tailoring to create a style that fits squarely into both brands’ codes. Red, white, and blue lace catchers incorporate his favorite patriotic colorway, while nodding to the designer’s past as a varsity swimmer and runner. Leather and suede heighten the design, while piping accents reference Browne’s tailoring prowess. The sneaker represents the perfect blend of both brands, combining the divergent styles to create a detail-driven, yet still wearable shoe. The Thom Browne x Asics Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers come in three colorways: black, gray, and white. The former two are available now at Thom Browne retail locations, on www.thombrowne.com, and in select retailers globally. Launch details for the white version will follow.

J. Crew’s Rollneck Sweater

Just in time for New York Fashion Week, J. Crew has tapped five emerging American designers to reinterpret the brand’s signature rollneck sweater. Bucci NYC, Collina Strada, Eckhaus Latta, Patrick Taylor, and Tanner Fletcher were all invited to bring the 40-year-old staple into their aesthetic universe. Each designer lent their own points of view to the project, resulting in five very different takes on the sweater. Hillary Taymour of Collina Strada—a brand known for its use of color and texture—incorporated both into her version, presenting a pink-and-green striped top with feminine lace. Tanner Fletcher designers, Tanner Richie and Fletcher Kasell, opted to go in a more retro direction and paid homage to J. Crew’s nautical roots with a whimsical, sailor-inspired flap-tie. Those looking to show a bit of skin while staying warm will no doubt gravitate toward Mishka Ivanovic’s design for Buci NYC, which features a low back that adds a touch of unexpected sex appeal. The five iterations mean there’s something for everyone in this collection, and you can shop it now on jcrew.com or in the store’s immersive pop-up experience on 75 Spring Street.

Gap x Harlem Fashion Row

Gap has partnered with five designers of color through Harlem’s Fashion Row (HFR) on a 20-piece capsule collection reimagining iconic Gap denim into statement silhouettes and archive-inspired essentials. Daveed Baptiste of Daveed Baptiste, LaTouché of LaTouché, Igdaliah Pickering of Igdalyah, Waina Chancy of Atelier Ndigo, and Nicole Benefield of Nicole Benefield Portfolio were all tapped to create four pieces that reimagine denim through their respective lenses. Baptiste, a Brooklyn-based Haitian-American artist, was inspired by ocean waves, Caribbean shores, and blue sunsets, while Benefield looked to redefine the modern uniform by incorporating menswear-inspired utilitarian themes. Together, the individual capsules showcase the versatility of denim and the depth of Gap’s archives. The Gap × Harlem’s Fashion Row collection is available to shop now at gap.com and in select Gap store locations.

Jimmy Choo x Noir Kei Ninomiya

They say opposites attract, which was very much the case for the collaboration between Jimmy Choo and Noir Kei Ninomiya. Originally presented as part of Noir Kei Ninomiya’s spring 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week last fall, the collection merges the modern femininity and craftsmanship of Jimmy Choo with Kei Ninomiya’s avant-garde innovation. Inspired by the Noir Kei Ninomiya spring 2026 theme of “pure and playful,” the collaboration consists of four shoes, three harnesses, and a bag. Feminine and masculine converge in the form of the Maxi Loafer, which combines a classic men’s loafer with a delicate Jimmy Choo drop heel. For those seeking a simpler style, there’s the Star Shoe, a simple Oxford decorated with studded stars. The harnesses, similarly, are adorned with crystals and steel studs, as is the nappa leather backpack.

“I have always been fascinated by the design of the Comme des Garçons universe—an incredible and rich commitment to creativity without borders or boundaries, so to collaborate with Kei is the realization of a decades-long dream,” says Jimmy Choo creative director Sandra Choi. “Expanding Jimmy Choo beyond traditional concepts of luxury, this collection melds together both of our distinct aesthetics in a celebration of the power of pure imagination.” The Jimmy Choo x Noir Kei Ninomiya is available now on jimmychoo.com, through select retailers, and at Jimmy Choo and Dover Street Market boutiques.

Bulgari Icons Minaudière Collection

Bulgari’s creative director of leather goods and accessories, Mary Katrantzou, introduces a new line of objets d’art, inspired by over 140 years of the high jewelry brand’s expertise and savoir-faire of jewelry-making. The collection reimagines five of Bulgari’s timeless symbols, including the Serpenti, transforming them into functional accessories. Each one is created from precious enamel, pavé settings, and various inlays of semiprecious color stones. The pieces are suspended from a delicate chain and offered in two sizes—the minaudière and the miniature vanity—making them functional, as well as beautiful.

In honor of the launch, Bulgari tapped photographer Ethan James Green to capture five women with their minaudières. Each person embodies the collection and its representation of strength, transformation, wisdom, allure, and identity. Models, actors, and more, these women are creators of culture. With this new collection, Katrantzou hopes to allow everyone to “carry culture” around with them, too. The Icons Minaudière Collection is available at 11 Bulgari boutiques worldwide.

Givenchy by Sarah Burton’s Snatch Bag

We’ve had the opportunity to sit with Sarah Burton’s Givenchy for almost a year now, through two collections and a lot of red carpet dressing, which makes it the perfect time for the designer to release her first official purse with the brand, the Snatch Bag.

Described as “a study in intimacy,” the bag complements Burton’s designs for Givenchy, with sculptural curves that mimic the shape of a woman’s body, specifically one adorned in a cinched jacket that shows off the waist, or a bra that curves downward to display décolletage. Crafted in supple, calf-grain leather, the bag features short handles that enable over-the-shoulder wear, as well as strips of leather that extend from the top. The bag is available in three sizes—including a small version that can be worn across the body—and in various colorways, both classics like black and dark brown and more eccentric options like baby pink and red. The hardware is also available in both gold and silver, making the piece customizable. The Snatch Bag will be available soon on givenchy.com and in Givenchy stores.

Moncler x Rick Owens

Moncler is sealing its latest collaboration with a kiss. Or rather, multiple kisses. The outerwear brand is celebrating its first collaboration with Rick Owens with a campaign shot by Juergen Teller. In the set of six images, Owens, Teller, and their respective wives and creative partners, Michèle Lamy and Dovile Drizyte, trade smooches while dressed head-to-toe in the collection.

While Moncler is known mostly for its winterwear, this collaboration offers more lightweight, warm-weather options. The looks are inspired by Berlin’s brutalist architecture, as well as the city’s natural spaces, where those hulking buildings meet bucolic greenery. (Owens calls it “brucolic.”) Each garment, therefore, can take the wearer from the city streets straight to the great outdoors. An adjustable jersey skirt and nappa leather bomber may lean more toward a more cosmopolitan air, while Trailgrip Megalace sneakers and a cropped, funnel-neck down jacket are begging to be taken on a hike. With a refined color palette of black, dark dust, vintage olive, and bold carnelian red, these pieces can be worn anywhere and feel completely at home. The collection is available now on moncler.com, rickowens.eu, and in selected Moncler stores, Rick Owens flagship stores, and select retailers.

Growing up in Seoul, South Korea in the 1980s, the photographer Sung Jin Park first came to picture-making by way of rock album covers. “They were particularly interesting at that time, and they were perhaps my first casual encounter with photography,” the artist tells W. He didn’t get behind the camera himself until he was a 17-year-old student at Pratt University in New York, where he frequented museums to take in the work of Walker Evans, Paul Strand, and Diane Arbus. “I never really had artistic heroes in particular. I was more interested in certain photos or photo books from some of these photographers,” Park adds. “Bruce Davidson’s Brooklyn Gangs and Diane Arbus’s Aperture monograph were some of my favorites in my early years. Tokyo Lucky Hole by Nobuyoshi Araki was a very impressive one, as well.”

Decades later, Park is releasing Kid Echo, a new monograph published by independent photo book publisher Session Press, run by Miwa Susuda, that he will celebrate with a signing at Dashwood Books in New York City on November 5 (for those in Paris, Park will sign Kid Echo November 14 from 5-6 PM at the Le Plac’Art Photo booth at Paris Photo). Kid Echo compiles 69 unseen images Park shot from 2001-2009 in and around the outskirts of Seoul. It’s all work that was in some way too controversial to make it into his first monograph, the now-seminal portrayal of South Korean youth titled Kid Nostalgia, released in 2014. “When I made the first book, Kid Nostalgia, I saved many photos I liked. Publishing Kid Nostalgia in Seoul at that time was not easy, and 2014 was not the right time to show everything,” Park says. “I believed I would have an opportunity to show them sometime in the future.”

The new book was curated from hundreds of images that did not make it into the earlier monograph. They show 2000s Seoul teenagers skipping school and looking the camera dead in the eye, many with open-mouthed vulnerability, a cigarette drooping, or a cheeky grin. Quite a few cut their hair themselves. Most are in their school uniforms, yet still express non-conformity. Park spent years searching the outskirts of Seoul for the right subjects, students who embodied a certain rebellion, rawness or subculture of the time.

“Attitude and style were some of the elements that caught my eye, but I feel I was portraying myself through these teens,” Park explains. “There had to be some kind of spark. Some kids really have it in them—that special something comes alive in front of the camera. It is truly a magical moment when you see it. Especially the eyes.”

The photos in Kid Echo are portrait-style, shot in the streets, but composed. “Finding the characters and getting to photograph them are two different things. In a short amount of time, I had to develop some kind of connection with my subject. I have developed my own know-how for dealing with this. I can’t remember how many days went by without successful castings or shoots,” says Park. “Finding that dance partner was never easy, but that was just part of the game. Once things get too easy or too predictable, I think it is time to move on. The kids were changing, I was changing, and everything was changing in that 10 years.”

It is never too early to get into the holiday spirit. Everyone knows the Christmas season can be stressful, but the more you prepare ahead of time, the more you can enjoy all the magic. So while it may seem too early to start considering your gifts, in reality, you’ll just be saving your future self a lot of stress. And luckily, the brands are, once again, ahead of schedule, already rolling out their holiday content for our benefit. Ferragamo, Dior, Chanel, and more have released their 2026 holiday campaigns, and the images are getting us in the yuletide mood. So while the leaves may just now be falling off the trees, soon they’ll be on the ground, covered in snow—and there’s no time like the present to dive into the 2026 holiday campaigns.

Dior

“It was a quiet night at the atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne,” begins the animated short film, Christian Dior’s Night in Color. The seven-minute movie, directed by award-winning French filmmaker Sylvain Chomet and narrated by Robert Pattinson, tells a fictional story that weaves together key moments from the fashion house’s history.

Dior

Jonathan Anderson was inspired by the cinema’s transition from black-and-white to Technicolor for the Dior cruise 2027 collection. Christian Dior’s Night in Color once again explores that shift. The narrative follows Christian Dior as he rushes to make a dress for Marlene Dietrich and her Technicolor film.

Dior

The cast is filled with familiar voices: Louis Garrel as Dior, Josh O’Connor as a talking chair, LaKeith Stanfield as a director. Greta Lee pops up as a busy atelier bee, and Rihanna even makes an appearance as the star atop a Christmas tree. “Shine bright...like a Christmas tree,” she exclaims.

Dior

In the end, Dior is able to create a dress—the famed Junon style—and deliver it to Dietrich just in time. It’s a heartwarming story, filled with nostalgia, whimsy, and craft—all hallmarks of both Dior and the holiday season.

Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton’s 2026 holiday campaign is an ode to those who travel for their winter festivities. The Oliver Hadlee Pearch images take place in a train station, the setting of magical reunions and exciting departures.

Louis Vuitton

The campaign captures the last five minutes before a grand departure. Stories unfold on the platform and within the train cars. Friends reunite, children play, travelers rush around carrying their Louis Vuitton luggage. It’s a suspended moment that perfectly embodies Louis Vuitton’s Art of Travel.

Burberry

Burberry is opening the doors to a gorgeous English country home for its 2026 holiday campaign, inviting Pierce Brosnan, Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, and more friends of the brand to gather for an afternoon of winter fun.

Burberry

“We wanted to celebrate 170 years of Burberry with a proper party,” said Daniel Lee, Burberry chief creative officer. “Family, friends, great gifts, and everyone dressed up.”

Burberry

Set at Longleat House in Wiltshire—a historic, stately home built in the 16th century—the images capture a festive celebration of party games, gift exchanges, and, of course, a whole lot of Burberry check.

Gucci

It’s time! The holiday season is officially upon us, which means Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey has taken the spotlight—and her rightful place on her holiday throne. Of course, preparations must be made, and the Gucci team is on it, making sure everything is ready for Carey to ring in all the merriment.

Gucci

The iconic singer stars in Gucci’s holiday campaign video, directed by Harmony Korine and set to Carey’s hit song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Accompanying images star friends of the house as they wait in anticipation of Carey’s arrival.

Gucci

When Carey arrives at the party, she does so in Gucci’s new Butterfly special collection. Inspired by the insect, the collection embodies the iridescence of the butterfly, while paying homage to Carey’s signature motif and her 1997 album, Butterfly.

Chloé

Chloé’s latest campaign is festive, but not in an obvious way. Shot by David Sims and starring friend of the house, Claudia Schiffer, the images capture a nocturnal spirit through a cinematic, after-dark atmosphere.

Chloé

Schiffer’s enduring personal allure is reflected in the imagery, as her natural presence and distinctive character bring a singular perspective to the campaign.

Marc Jacobs

Fashion, humor, personality, and New York energy collide in Marc Jacobs’s winter 2026 campaign, Let It Joy. Actor Meg Stalter stars in the campaign video, holed up in her hotel room during a snowstorm. When Mel Ottenberg invites Stalter over for a party, there’s only one issue: She doesn’t know his room number.

Marc Jacobs

Chaos ensues as Stalter attempts to locate the party. Luckily, the comedienne does not give up and is able to follow the music. She eventually makes it to the holiday bash, ready to celebrate in her black Marc Jacobs shift dress alongside New York personalities and cultural figures like Knicks center Andre Drummond and model and actress Kai Schreiber.

Tory Burch

Tory Burch presents a guide to the holidays, along with tips to celebrate the upcoming season the Tory way: with optimism, joy, and presents piled high.

Tory Burch

Tory Burch’s holiday campaign comes with a list of rules to follow. Number two pertains to gifting (and receiving), suggesting we give generously and react dramatically. Number four urges us to embrace the festive spirit, while the last rule is a bit of a warning: Pace yourself; it’s a long holiday season ahead.

Tory Burch

Alongside the tips, you’ll find more holiday inspiration in the form of images from Anthony Seklaoui. The shots are full of beaded sparkle, cozy knits, and community—the perfect recipe for a joyous season.

David Yurman

Michael B. Jordan, Yerin Ha, and Inde Navarrette star in the David Yurman 2026 holiday campaign. The three actors gather in snow-covered Washington Square Park for shots that capture the joy of togetherness and the magic of the holiday season in New York City.

David Yurman

Jordan and Ha face off in a spirited card game, while Navarrette searches for the perfect holiday gift. Of course, all three are bedecked in David Yurman designs, including 18-karat gold cable bracelets and pieces from the brand’s Starburst and Armory collections.

Tiffany & Co.

Fresh off her buzzy turn in You Can See Everything, Amanda Seyfried has returned to New York from Texas, just in time for the holiday season. The actor is Tiffany & Co.’s newest House ambassador and the star of its holiday campaign, “Love Is a Gift.”

Tiffany & Co.

As part of the campaign, Seyfried acts in a short film, “You & Me,” which tells the story of two different Christmas celebrations: one taking place in the present day, and one in 1992. Between these two moments passes a Bird on a Rock ornament, originally gifted decades ago and still a prized possession all these years later. It’s a story of tradition, holiday memories, and the connection between generations.

Tiffany & Co.

“I’m thrilled to join the Tiffany & Co. family as their newest House ambassador and to be part of a campaign that celebrates love, family, and the traditions we carry with us through generations,” Seyfried said in a statement. “‘You & Me’ captures beautifully how a meaningful gift can hold memories and become part of a family’s story. It was incredibly special to bring that idea to life with Tiffany this holiday season.”

Skims

The holidays are all about family, so it makes sense that Kim Kardashian enlisted her very famous sisters to star in the Skims Holiday campaign. Shot by frequent Kardashian collaborator Nadia Lee Cohen, the campaign takes inspiration from nostalgic holiday portraits, placing Kim, Kourtney, Kylie, Khloe, and Kendall in scenes you may recall from your own home videos.

Skims

The sisters are styled in pieces from the Skims holiday shop, wearing outfits with varying degrees of coziness. Khloe and Kourtney are covered head-to-toe in their respective patterned onesie and red long johns. Kylie and Kendall, meanwhile, show off more skin in bras boasting classic holiday prints. All the girls don retro glam—bouffants and old-school glasses. The result is a vintage scene with no clear time stamp. But it doesn’t matter, because Santa still clearly approves.

Miu Miu

Gigi Hadid, Louisa Jacobson, and more gather in a grand townhouse to celebrate the holidays. The polished wood walls are covered in wreaths, the tree is bedecked with ornaments, and everyone is dressed in Miu Miu.

Miu Miu

The wardrobe highlights contrasts between lifestyle archetypes and seasonal themes. Silk dresses are paired with upcycled knits and sportswear-inspired zip-front blousons. Cropped sweaters reveal button-down shirts, and utilitarian cotton canvas separates are layered over sequined bralettes.

Miu Miu

But the models are not alone in this uptown space. They are joined by plush toy bears, rabbits, geese, and more. Treated like treasured guests, these additions provide whimsy to the scene, a composed portrait of bourgeois behavior subverted by humor and play.

Prada

Friendly furry creatures are not unique to the Miu Miu campaign this season—they pop up in the Prada world as well. This time, though, the woodland pals are hand-drawn by a team of artists led by cinematic animator John Pomeroy.

Prada

Sadie Sink gets down on the ground with a trio of mice to admire a patterned, calf-hair loafer. Maya Hawke faces off against a sly fox as she braves the elements of a frozen setting. There is a whimsy to these wintertime scenes, which emphasizes Prada’s humanity and a connection to craft that lies at the heart of the brand’s approach to creation.

Ferragamo

Kris Jenner is the matriarch of the Ferragamo family in the brand’s 2026 holiday campaign, The Joy of Loving. “Ferragamo is all about family,” says creative director Maximilian Davis. “And when I design, I am always thinking about that, too: how a collection can be worn by different generations, but also how pieces you love will be held onto and passed down through them.”

Ferragamo

The momager stars as the director of a fictional film, leading screen tests featuring the campaign’s various faces. There’s Paloma Elsesser and her brother, Sage; girl group The Womack Sisters; and Sofia Testino with her dog, Syko.

The campaign connects back to the roots of Ferragamo, and founder Salvatore Ferragamo’s original desire to build a better life for his family through his love of invention and creativity. “One of the founding values of Ferragamo has always been of beauty that develops from craftsmanship, humanity, and joy,” says Salvatore’s son, Leonardo Ferragamo. “This campaign is telling that story.”

Loro Piana

Loro Piana invites you to a weekend at the cabin, where the elegantly falling snow outside matches the chic inhabitants’ wardrobes. Models are dressed in the brand’s holiday collection, an expression of style that plays out across textures, hand-finished prints, exclusive patterns, and elaborate stitches.

Loro Piana’s usually muted color palette is realized once again, this time in the form of dark greens and earthy browns. They are highlighted with pops of winter-white and marigold.

Warm jersey tops and trousers form the foundations of these après-ski looks. On top, classic Loro Piana outerwear like the Spagna jacket and Konny vest are crafted in wool and finely detailed with needlework; the wearer stays warm while also making an enviable sartorial impression. 

Chanel

Chanel is hitting the slopes for its 2026 Coco Neige collection. Bright-red knits and colorblocked puffers stand out against snow-capped mountains. The images have a retro flair, but the clothing is distinctly modern.

A snowball fight adds even more joy to this already playful campaign, while penguin and polar bear-shaped purses and earrings provide the perfect amount of whimsy.

Shearling caps keep ears warm, while winter whites are embraced with aplomb. It’s a reminder that dressing for warmth does not mean sacrificing style or charm.

Dior

Indulge in your sweet tooth with Dior’s 2026 holiday campaign, which sees the brand’s famous 30 Montaigne store reimagined as a sugar-dusted gingerbread house. Anya Taylor-Joy and Deva Cassel star in a joyous musical video. The house’s ambassadors prance around the store, snacking on Dior cookies, spritzing the brand’s famed fragrances, and trimming the icing-lined cookie Christmas tree.

Fall is already in full swing, and brands are breaking out the champagne and hors d’oeuvres, fueled by new collaborations and launches, plus the simple desire to throw a great bash. Fetes are taking place all over the world in honor of the season of renewal (along with every other reason imaginable). With the holidays—and galas galore—on the horizon, we’re calling a spade a spade: it’s all just an excuse to have a wonderful time while often donating to a good cause. While you might not be invited to the biggest parties in town in person, you can still enjoy them vicariously. Keep checking back here as we cover the best and brightest events of the year—and their A-list attendees.

On November 5, Adria Arjona received the 2026 Women in Film Max Mara Face of the Future Award, which recognizes an actress who is committed to community-building. Dressed in a slinky black Max Mara dress featuring a keyhole neck cutout, the Onslaught actor celebrated with a party held in her honor at Chateau Marmont the night before the WIF gala.

Naturally, Arjona’s longtime partner, Jason Momoa, was by her side.

Arjona also posed with pal Shay Mitchell and mingled over cocktails with other A-list guests, including Brittany Snow, Jessica Alba, Zoey Deutch, and Victoria Justice.

Mariah Carey celebrated the release of her Gucci holiday campaign on Monday night at an exclusive cocktail reception at the House’s Fifth Avenue flagship in New York. 

Guests were invited to enjoy champagne and spiked hot apple cider in the store’s newly opened Gucci Apartmento, a private space on the third floor designed for a more exclusive shopping experience.

Dressed in a black maxidress and fur coat, Carey enjoyed a performance of her hit song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” performed by an a capella choir. She then closed out the night in the role of Santa Claus, handing out Gucci-branded chocolate for guests to take home.

Pomellato celebrated 20 years in New York with an intimate party on Wednesday, October 20, held at a Sutton Tower private residence. There, actor Michelle Monaghan, entrepreneur Olivia Palermo, and Olympian Lindsey Vonn gathered among other guests for cocktails and conversation.

The occasion also marked the North American debut of Pomellato’s newest High Jewelry collection, Pomellato Stile Libero, and the exclusive Americas launch of Moneta Orientale, the house’s latest in a series of archival reinterpretations. Guests were welcomed to admire these new creations, and were given their own Pomellato jewels to wear for the evening as well.

Nordstrom’s celebration of its 125th anniversary continued on October 22nd with help from Sacai designer Chitose Abe. The Japanese designer not only released a special capsule collection for the department store, but flew in to New York to host a celebratory dinner alongside Yumi Shin, Nordstrom’s executive vice president of global brand partnerships. Held in an intimate space inside the WSA building, Ghetto Gastro provided an appropriately culture-bridging menu with a main dish of honey miso sablefish.

Rapper JT, back stateside after making several front-row appearances during Paris Fashion Week, arrived in head-to-toe Sacai.

Ferragamo brought Florence, Italy to Beverly Hills on October 22, with the reopening of its Rodeo Drive flagship during the day, followed by a fabulous dinner in the private room at the Polo Lounge in the evening. The newly reimagined store is an exceptional sight, bearing a rich, assured palette across menswear and womenswear.

Leonardo Ferragamo and creative director Maximilian Davis hosted the intimate dinner on Thursday night, which was attended by stars like Andrew Garfield, Tracee Ellis Ross, Vittoria Ceretti, Gemma Chan (shown here with Leonardo Ferragamo), Tinashe, and Carolyn Murphy. James Ferragamo, men’s and women’s leather product director for the brand, was on hand for the party, along with many other members of the Ferragamo family.

A short film created by actor Martina Ferragamo lent a personal note to the evening. What emerged was a portrait of a family deeply connected to its roots, with Maximilian Davis now bringing his own innovative vision to the house as creative director. There was no need to choose between heritage and reinvention. Over dinner, the two felt entirely at home together.

The natural beauty of Southern California was on display on September 23 as Tiffany & Co. invited guests to celebrate the grand opening of its South Coast Plaza store in Costa Mesa.

Zoey Deutch, Charles Melton, Laura Harrier, and more stars wore Tiffany jewels as they enjoyed canapés, champagne, and cocktails. Guests had the opportunity to explore the store, which was transformed for the occasion into a floral landscape inspired by the wild poppies of the California coast.

After some mingling, it was time for a multicourse dinner featuring the flavors of the region, curated by Daniel Boulud. The evening concluded with a performance by Ashe, a fitting end to a memorable night.

On June 17, Burberry celebrated its A Good Sport campaign with not just a World Cup watch party but a full takeover of New York’s iconic Corner Bistro. Through June 28, the low-key neighborhood haunt will be decked out in the British heritage brand’s signature checks in honor of the World Cup.

Guests, including actor Adam DiMarco, arrived early to watch the England vs. Croatia match and were treated to the restaurant’s famous burgers and fries, as well as pints of Guinness served in glasses featuring the Burberry knight.

Industry star Myha’la made the Burberry watch party a date night with her husband Armando Rivera.

Spring Street in New York City’s SoHo was the place to be on Tuesday, May 26—specifically, the four-story Longchamp store on Spring Street, where crowds of people gathered to watch Zoey Deutch (pictured here), Emma Roberts, Joan Smalls, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and more head to the French label’s latest big party. The cause for celebration? Twenty years of collaboration between Longchamp and the American designer Jeremy Scott, plus the launch of the new limited-edition “Greetings From New York” Le Pliage bag.

Roberts, shown here, wound her way up the steps to the rooftop, where more drinks were served and all the different Jeremy Scott Pliage styles were on display.

For Gyllenhaal, the evening was something of a reunion between her and Sophie Delafontaine, Longchamp’s creative director. “I looked at her face and I was like, ‘We have met before,’” the actress told W at the party. “Sophie was like, ‘Yes we have, we met at this store,’ maybe even the opening of this store.” That was back in 2006, when the Jeremy Scott collabs first began—it was also “the year my daughter was born,” Gyllenhaal noted.

On May 19, guests gathered at Fendi’s Madison Avenue flagship in New York City to celebrate the Baguette 26424 Re-Edition. The name references the first model code assigned to the bag, which quickly became a signature silhouette of the house upon its 1997 release. The crowd featured friends of Fendi, including Blake Lively, Olivia Wilde, Ayra Starr, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Ella Hunt, Steph Hui, Deacon Phillippe, Lux Pascal, Esther McGregor, and Ivy Getty.

At the event, guests were treated to a preview of the new bags, available this July in 20 designs inspired by the Fendi archive, and first seen on the runway of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s fall 2026 debut collection.

The immersive evening also featured a look at the Baguette Lab, which, for a limited time, will provide complimentary restoration services for clients’ own vintage Baguettes.

Fine jewelry brand Brent Neale gathered some of New York’s most influential names on Tuesday, May 19, to celebrate the opening of its New York City salon. Hosted at the Astor Trust Building on Fifth Avenue, the 7,000-square-foot space was transformed into a new kind of jewelry showroom.

Guests including Blake Lively and Kate Mara were invited to browse an immersive display of the brand’s signature collections, one-of-a-kind creations, as well as the newest collection, Tides. They sipped cocktails and took in the glittering gems while enjoying the new, more personalized jewelry experience Brent Neale will soon launch to all clients.

On Saturday, May 16, Dia Beacon brought together a notable crowd of more than 600 members of the art, film, and fashion communities (including Paloma Elsesser, pictured here) to celebrate the Dia Art Foundation’s Spring Benefit. The gala—which started with a morning reception at Dia’s Gerhard Richter gallery before moving on to a lovely family-style spring lunch—paid tribute to artists John Chamberlain, Tehching Hsieh, Lee Ufan, Agnes Martin, Hélio Oiticica, Kishio Suga, and Jack Whitten, each of whom has had recent or upcoming exhibitions at the museum.

After lunch, guests were invited to wander the galleries and explore Dia’s grounds. Those in attendance included artists, philanthropists, gallerists, collectors, and other creatives including Alicia Keys, Steve McQueen, Derek Blasberg, Lauren Santo Domingo, Carrie Mae Weems, Laurie Simmons, Diamond Stingily, and many more.

The benefit also marked Dia Beacon’s new partnership with Chanel. Co-chairs included house designer Matthieu Blazy, Dia’s Board chair Nathalie de Gunzburg, and artists Joan Jonas and Lisa Yuskavage. Proceeds from the gala will support the museum’s ongoing programming, including installations, publications, and public educational initiatives.

On May 14 in New York City, Troye Sivan made his way to the Meatpacking District for a carnival-themed party thrown by Coach to celebrate its new collaboration with the Los Angeles-based creative collective Brain Dead. Sivan snapped photos in the cavernous space on West 14th Street, which had been filled with fairground treats and games like cotton candy stands, balloon popping, and even a cyclone-style amusement park ride installed inside.

Launching globally on May 29, the collection features lots of playful touches, like the cartoon sketched onto the leather bag gymnast Suni Lee is pictured holding, with creative director Stuart Vevers, above. (Vevers’s children were also in attendance for the party; the VIP tots spent the evening running from popcorn stand to merch booth to miniature golf.) Inspirations for the capsule include Tokyo street style, collectible souvenir culture, and merch the designers dreamed up that would be sold at this fictional amusement park.

A surprise runway show took place midway through the night, putting all the wares from the collection on display.

Vevers took a bow with Brain Dead cofounder and creative director Kyle Ng while guests like Lourdes Leon, Aquaria, and Ella Emhoff cheered them on.

Gold House hosted its fifth annual Gold Gala at the Music Center in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, May 9. The event brought together over 650 of the most influential Asian-Pacific and multicultural leaders across industries, all dressed in “heritage-inspired black tie” from AAPI designers.

Bowen Yang opened the show with a monologue before an array of awards were handed out to actors Charles Melton and Simu Liu and Olympic freestyle skier Eileen Gu, among others. Hayley Kiyoko performed her song, “Girls Like Girls,” while H.E.R. and Liza Soberano shared an exclusive first look at their upcoming film, Forgotten Island.

Guests took in the show while enjoying a three-course dinner from chef Justin Pichetrungsi and drinks provided by Hennessy. When the programming came to an end, attendees let loose at the Billboard x Gold House Founders Party. There, RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Nymphia Wind and Plastique Tiara performed before Mortal Kombat II star Joe Taslim took the stage for a DJ set.

It was not your average book club on April 28, when friends of Valentino gathered together at the Marciano Art Foundation in Los Angeles. This was a high-fashion evening, though the reason for the event was a book. The night was dedicated to the launch of Specula Mundi by Mark Borthwick, the new haute couture tome with a visual narrative that reinterprets the collection of the same name by Alessandro Michele.

Patricia Arquette, Maude Apatow, Sombr, and more stars were in attendance, dressed in their Valentino best. Those who missed the presentation of the collection in Paris last January were transported there thanks to a Kaiserpanorama installation on-site.

The hottest accessory of the evening was, of course, Specula Mundi, produced in a limited edition of 1,500 numbered copies. A close runner-up was the new Valentino Garavani Devain bag, held by Arquette and Apatow, among others.

Teyana Taylor pregamed the Met Gala at the event, showing up in a romantic black dress.

Tate McRae attended in an animal print jacket from Valentino’s pre-fall 2026 collection and a Devain bag.

On April 28, the arts nonprofit Creative Time invited New York's art and fashion worlds into the Russian Tea Room for its 2026 gala. Over borscht and vodka, guests celebrated the organization's new Executive Director, Jean Cooney, and honored artists Guadalupe Maravilla, Molly Gochman, and philanthropist Michelle Coffey. Co-chaired by stylist Kate Young, designer Waris Ahluwalia, and Nordstrom, the night was unexpectedly full of Russian bears. Waiters dressed as polar bears toted bottles of vodka while guests—from artists Kara Walker and Chloe Wise to designers Daniella Kallmeyer, Wes Gordon, and Henry Zankov—mingled around a giant bear-shaped ice sculpture. The night ended late, with dancing to sets by Leigh Lezark of The Misshapes and Jean d'Armes.

Gala season in New York City is officially in full swing. Apex for Youth—an organization that mentors and supports underserved Asian and immigrant youth in NYC—hosted its annual fete on April 16 at Cipriani South Street. The event drew over 600 guests and raised nearly $3.7 million for the nonprofit, which offers health-focused programming, education, and community engagement via volunteers. Olympic champion Eileen Gu, shown here with Michael Chung, attended the event, along with actress Lana Condor, who received honors.

“The Inspiration Awards Gala is one of the few moments where you can see the full ecosystem of Apex in one room—our youth, mentors, supporters, and partners,” executive director of Apex for Youth Jiyoon Chung told W. “It’s powerful because the impact is tangible. You’re not just hearing about change—you’re witnessing the relationships and community that make it possible.” That sentiment proved true when Avantika Vandanapu, pictured here, presented Condor her award onstage.

Of course, the dinnertime auction is as key for a gala as the starry guest list. During the evening, guests like Kim Shui—photographed here with Chloe Misseldine and Isiah Magsino—Sandy Liang, Dao-Yi Chow, and many other New York City insiders helped raise nearly $4 million for Apex for Youth.

Next up on April 15 was The Bronx Museum of the Arts, which held its annual gala at Tribeca Rooftop this year. Artist Awol Erizku, cultural patron Lois Plehn, and designer and artist Colm Dillane (aka KidSuper)—pictured here with The Bronx Museum’s director and chief curator, Shamim M. Momin—received honors during the stylish party, which included dinner and a live auction.

Joey Bada$$ and Ferg, shown here, were also in attendance for the soirée—the museum’s most important yearly fund-raiser, which also served as a welcome party for Momin, who threw her first Bronx Museum gala that evening.

Alex Consani may be known as a downtown fashion darling, but on Friday, April 10, the model traveled to Times Square for a party celebrating the acclaimed artist Tomokazu Matsuyama’s latest work. Along with Lulu Tenney, Hank Willis Thomas, and many more art-world stars, Consani feted Matsuyama’s new piece, Morning Again, with a soirée that began at the Times Square EDITION and ended on the Red Steps—where Consani joined Matsuyama to watch the project illuminate Times Square.

Commissioned by the Times Square Arts Midnight Moment program, Morning Again will screen nightly from April 1-30 from 11:57 PM to midnight, on nearly 100 electronic billboards in Times Square.

In the piece, the Japanese–born, New York–based artist Matsuyama—pictured here with Hank Willis Thomas—traces four symbolic currents that move through New York City: flows of hope, rhythm, self-expression, and transformation.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, March 26, Movado toasted its latest chapter at New York’s King restaurant, where brand president Margot Grinberg hosted a seated lunch along with ambassador Julianne Moore. The gathering marked the debut of three new women’s watch collections—Museum Bangle, Heritage 1917, and Museum Velura—as well as the official launch of Curve, Movado’s newest high-fashion jewelry collection. All were showcased alongside archival designs.

“I’ve always admired Movado for its clean, modern aesthetic and its ability to create pieces that feel both timeless and deeply personal,” said Moore. “These new collections are beautifully crafted and thoughtfully designed—a true reflection of the brand’s artistry and its commitment to celebrating women.”

On Thursday, March 19, guests gathered for an intimate dinner at The Odeon hosted by Loewe and Bergdorf Goodman. The party celebrated Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s first collection as Loewe’s new creative directors as well as the house’s takeover of Bergdorf’s famed windows.

American Love Story star Grace Gummer and Mark Ronson joined the exclusive group, carrying his-and-hers Amazona bags.

True Whitaker also joined the event, whose guests included Britt Lower, Michael Stipe, Jayme Lawson, Sandra Bernhard, Morgan Spector, Lucas Hedges, Isaac Powell, Talia Ryder, Tramell Tillman, and more.

Along with the collection launch, McCollough and Hernandez collaborated with Bergdorf Goodman on exclusive custom windows and an interior installation in the brand’s women’s store, bringing their spring 2026 collection to life.

On March 18 in Manhattan’s Union Square neighborhood, Dua Lipa descended upon the new Nespresso flagship boutique on 5th Avenue. Wearing a white minidress and a stunning Serpenti necklace, the singer toasted her status as the coffee brand’s latest global ambassador. Guests sipped on espresso martinis (like DJ Mia Moretti, above) and plucked tuna crispy rice bites from geometric blocks held by the waitstaff. As the sun set outside, the crowd trooped downstairs for more dancing.

Meanwhile, farther uptown at The Pool/The Grill, art-world luminaries gathered to celebrate the 16th annual Art Production Fund gala. The event—which supports the organization’s work of commissioning and producing public art projects—raised a record-breaking $1 million. More than 300 guests including Chloe Wise and Brooke Wise, along with gallerista Hannah Traore (shown above) attended, decked out in fashion that reflected the theme of the night: après ski at the “APF Chalet.”

Legendary artists like Marilyn Minter and Sanford Biggers showed up for APF, whose executive director, Casey Fremont, can be seen here with the duo.

Spring brings countless galas to New York City, but we’re pretty sure there’s only one where you’ll find the city’s premiere “experimental clown” performing as one of artist Paul McCarthy’s famed butt plugs and donors will get called “pay pigs.” Welcome to Performance Space New York’s annual spring gala, where this year, the best way to do some good was to be very, very bad.

Playwright Jordan Tannahill, fresh off his off-Broadway success Prince Faggot, stepped into the role of creative director and reimagined a kink-friendly gala with a “Haute Fetish” dress code that that meant black leather was more common than black tie. This year’s gala honored fashion’s Michèle Lamy, artist McCarthy, and writer Samuel R. Delany, all creatives who no one has ever accused of being prudes. Naturally, Tannahill called in former dominatrix Julia Fox and her BFF, the photographer and model Richie Shazam, to cohost. Dressed as a gala table to open the night, Fox reminded the crowd this was a kink-friendly event. She pulled up comedian Julio Torres onstage to interrogate him about his favorite kink. “A memorable, entertaining night supporting the arts,” he demurred.

French singer Yseult, long-known for making a statement on the Cannes red carpet, made her United States performance debut with her new single “Freak” accompanied by a BDSM performance by Mistress Nina, Dahlia Damoiselle, and Tristan Allen.

Moses Sumney performed a multisong tribute to Lamy, including his first performance of his song “Rank & File” in years.

Performance artist and clown Alex Tatarsky’s tribute to Paul McCarthy was undoubtedly one of the evening’s most delightfully weird moments.

Right as the elevator doors were about to close and take us to the fifth floor of the WSA building for Free Arts NYC’s 26th Annual Gala, none other than Rosie Perez slipped in. There’s no better omen for a good night in the city than starting it with an accidental run-in with one of its cultural icons. Once inside, we were greeted with a glass of red wine and gallery walls full of 70 works on paper by a who’s-who of art-world notables, including Tschabalala Self, KAWS, Will Cotton, and Marilyn Minter. They would all be auctioned off that night through an online portal to benefit the nonprofit. Even New York’s new first lady, Rama Duwaji, donated a sketch.

Founded in 1997, Free Arts NYC provides kids from underserved communities with both daylong creative workshops for younger artists and more in-depth mentorship and scholarship programs for teenage artists.

This year’s edition honored three women from three different generations: artists Katherine Bradford and Sasha Gordon, and Jody Quon, creative director of New York magazine. Yet the three didn’t just show up to collect their adoration on gala night. Earlier in the year, the trio stopped by to both offer advice and create alongside Free Arts students. The results—“exquisite corpse”-style drawings—were also on display.

“Free Arts is planting seeds of curiosity that will undeniably make this world more beautiful,” Quon said upon accepting her award. “We are not just investing in children’s art. We are investing in the next generation of thinkers, makers, leaders, and dreamers.”

Stylist and editor Alastair Mckimm and photographer Carin Backoff represented the fashion world.

This was the rare gala for an arts foundation in which the act of creation literally took center stage. Artist Adam Dressner had set up an easel to paint live portraits of guests during both the cocktail hour and after party. At dinner, guests were provided with colored pencils and encouraged to draw on the table by Free Arts founder Liz Hopfan. Paper had been placed over some windows, with crayons provided to encourage guests to leave a doodle. “A sketch is a funny thing,” she told the crowd. “We tend to think of it as lesser, the thing before the thing. But a sketch is where we are all most honestly ourselves. It's a color test, a first instinct, a page that was never meant to be seen. This is where Free Arts lives, too.”

Nike

On February 15, Nike closed out All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles with All-Time High, a star-studded after party at the members-only Bird Streets Club on Sunset Boulevard. The event wrapped up the weekend and celebrated the intersection of sports and entertainment, bringing together figures across industries like Teyana Taylor, Travis Scott, Damson Idris, Takashi Murakami, Steve Lacy, Ego Nwodim, and more.

Zack Bia was on deck, DJing for the crowd, followed by a lineup that included Chase B, Coco & Breezy, and Hank Korsan.

The event space had a sprawling setup, where guests could move between three different floors, each with their own unique feel. The layout lent itself to the eclectic crowd that had gathered there, which also included musician Shaboozey.

Bulgari

Eternal beauty was the theme of the night at the Bulgari event held at the luxury jewelry brand’s Rodeo Drive flagship on January 15. VIP clients, celebrities, and creatives came together to celebrate Bulgari Eternal, a new collection breathing new life into archival designs.

Maude Apatow, Phoebe Dynevor, and Ryan Destiny were in attendance on Thursday night, enjoying the conversation and immersive experiences on offer. Apatow and Destiny, specifically, acted as models for the evening, wearing the new collection while enjoying rooftop cocktails and the celebratory atmosphere.

Bulgari

The mood was set by Kaytranada and Kim Gordon, who both delivered DJ sets for the guests, keeping the energy high throughout the evening. It was a true L.A. party, celebrating glitz, glamour, and, of course, Bulgari.

Jennifer Lawrence has been asking Kim Kardashian to style her for years. Back in 2017, the actor shared an anecdote on Jimmy Kimmel Live about getting drunk at Kris Jenner’s house and “ordering” the Skims founder to dress her. Last night, Kardashian finally did—in the most deliciously unserious way.

When the pair were first spotted arriving at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City, they were wearing normal clothes (for them, that is). Lawrence donned a creamy overcoat and a velvet blue scarf, while Kardashian stepped out in leggings, a rare Hermès fall 2004 crocodile leather jacket designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, and a matching Hermès bag big enough to hold their impending outfit changes. On their way out, to the surprise of onlookers everywhere, they were dressed all the way down in Skims’ new holiday sleepwear. Wearing velour brown robes (hoods on), reindeer-festooned pyjamas, and diva-worthy sunglasses, the pals put a slumber-party twist on street-style coordination.

The outing is perfectly timed for the pair, who have each been in the midst of back-to-back work-related appearances. Lawrence is promoting her new haircare brand, Mes Beauty, while Kardashian has been doing a particularly campy red-carpet run for All’s Fair season 2. All things considered, a matching moment of this magnitude was bound to happen someday, especially since Lawrence has long been friendly with the Kardashians. She even recently found herself embroiled in a sister squabble in season 8 of Hulu’s The Kardashians after playfully criticizing eldest sister Kourtney. Kourtney shot back, and on the show, Lawrence sent her an apology email reportedly saying she felt like she was one of the siblings. Skims’ 2026 holiday campaign launched last month starring every Kar-Jenner sister. As an honorary Kardashian, it was only right that Lawrence be featured in some way too.

Pierpaolo Piccioli is leaving Balenciaga after less than two years. The news was confirmed on Thursday by Gianfranco Gianangeli, the lable’s president and CEO.

“We are deeply grateful for Pierpaolo’s contribution to Balenciaga,” Gianangeli said. “Through his vision, he reaffirmed the couture origins of the house, bringing his considered approach to craftsmanship, construction and creativity. I would like to sincerely thank him for his dedication, generosity and collaboration.”

The Italian designer originally took on the role in May 2025 following both his predecessor Demna’s departure for Gucci and his own exit form Valentino in 2024. Though the romantic, colorful aesthetic he etablished at Valentino varied drastically from Demna’s streetware-savvy and often subversive work, expectations were originally high. Piccioli proved had proved his immense couture abilities, and it was assumed those talents would transfer over to the Balenciaga couturier. Many predicted a return to the classic innovative form of Cristóbal Balenciaga’s original collections.

But Piccioli struggled in the position, thanks in part to his predecessor. Demna, though controversial, brought a very specific vision to his Balenciaga, which proved to be successful. “I didn’t want to come here to find the same people with the same experiences,” Piccioli told W of his goals when starting at Balenciaga. “I wanted to face something new.” Unfortunately, it seems like the brand’s parent company, Kering, had other ideas. Reports suggest that Kering wanted to continue pushing an edgier and youthful look for Balenciaga, but that has never been Piccioli’s forte.

Piccioli showed his first collection for the brand in October 2025 as part of the spring 2026 season. As expected, he dove into the Balenciaga archives, presenting a collection of color-blocked looks with voluminous proportions that riffed on Balenciaga’s 1957 sack dress with oversized sunglasses to match. For fall/winter 2026, he presented darker offerings—including a collaboration with the HBO show Euphoria—which received lukewarm reviews. Notably, sales of menswear, a source of growth under Demna, have taken a dip since Piccioli’s appointment.

According to Vogue Business, Balenciaga’s parent company, Kering, said that in Q2 of 2026, “Balenciaga faced a more challenging quarter.” The third quarter, meanwhile, was also “challenging” for the brand.

You can’t say Piccioli didn’t try, though. A pre-fall collection alluded to the world of sports and was followed up by a collaboration with the NBA, perhaps Piccioli’s attempt to court streetwear fans. He maintained relationships with famous faces, dressing Demi Moore for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and Cannes red carpet this year and recently adorning many stars, including Mikey Madison and Tracee Ellis Ross, for the Academy Museum Gala. But not all of his celebrity placements worked. Hudson William’s was ridiculed for his baby blue matador-adjacent Balenciaga suit at the 2026 Met Gala, and the look Shailene Woodley wore to the Emmys in September was meme’d to death online.

While Piccioli’s future is unclear, we have a bit more insight into Balenciaga’s succession plan. Kering has said that the brand’s new creative director will be announced shortly. Of course, rumors are already floating around, and it is believed that Martine Rose will step into the position. It will mark a homecoming for the British-Jamaican designer who acted as a menswear advisor for Demna’s Balenciaga. This choice would prove that Kering is looking to focus on Balenciaga’s menswear, as that is Rose’s bread and butter. Her eponymous label, which she founded in 2007, has been a cult favorite for years, but a 2021 acquisition by the brand accelerator Tomorrow left Martine Rose floundering. The Balenciaga appointment is an exciting prospect. Not only would Rose be the first woman to design for the brand, but the job would also provide Rose with a larger budget than she’s ever had control over, and who knows what creative genius could come from that.

The Met Gala has a brand new theme and it’s all about basics. After the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art initially announced that the 2027 event would be held in honor of John Galliano, a deluge of opposition driven by Galliano’s past controversies forced the designer to voluntarily step aside. As a result, the Met returned to the drawing board and on Thursday, November 5, announced a new (and decidedly less controversial) theme, sure to please museum donors and fashion fans alike. The 2027 Met Gala will honor the extraordinary within the ordinary and the beauty in the conventional. Here’s everything you need to know.

What is the theme of the 2027 Met Gala?

The Met Gala theme is “extraORDINARY: Fashion and the Poetics of the Everyday,” with a focus on commonplace garments and everyday materials transformed by designers.

Why did the 2027 Met Gala change themes?

Initially, the 2027 Met Gala theme was announced in August. The event was supposed to focus on former Givenchy, Dior, and Margiela creative director John Galliano and his influence on the fashion industry. Immediately, this choice caused a stir, given Galliano’s controversial past, including his previous racist and antisemitic public rants. Many spoke out against the Met’s decision to honor Galliano, considering his indiscretions, and donors to the museum threatened to withhold gifts as a result. The scandal reached such a boiling point that it caused Galliano to step away from the event. “After much reflection and discussion with all those involved, I have decided, with great sadness, that it is best for the exhibition not to take place at this time,” Galliano wrote in a now-deleted statement on Instagram. “I do not want the debate surrounding me to place The Met in a difficult position or to distract from the remarkable work of the Costume Institute. I also recognize and respect that an exhibition honoring my work would be painful for some.”

Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute’s curator in charge, spoke for the first time about abandoning the original theme when the new exhibition was announced. “The cancellation of the Galliano show was disappointing for everyone involved,” he said. “I wanted an exhibition that I felt had something new to say, and that I felt was relevant to different conversations. I committed myself to this really quickly because it brings up ideas of value and consumption and resourcefulness and makes us question what we overlook and what we discard.”

What will be included in the 2027 exhibition?

Bolton has called “extraORDINARY” a kind of sequel to 2026’s “Costume Art” show, as both exhibitions focus on how clothes are worn. The “Costume Art” exhibition “placed the dressed body at the center of aesthetic experience,” Bolton explained. “I suppose it led me to think more about how we experience clothing in everyday life through habit and touch and movement and sensation.”

The 2027 iteration will feature 200 to 230 pieces, 30 to 40 percent of which will come from the museum’s collection. Fashion brands will donate or lend the rest. Visitors can expect to see items including a 1930s couture puffer coat by Charles James, pieces from Marc Jacobs’s controversial grunge collection for Perry Ellis, and the Calvin Klein jeans Brooke Shields wore in the famous 1980 ad. Matthieu Blazy’s trompe l’oeil leather jeans for Bottega Veneta will also be on display, a piece that perfectly encapsulates the exhibition.

The theme is two-pronged. One part will explore the elevation of archetypal garments, including tees and jeans. The second section will feature disposable materials like paper and aluminum, manipulated to create wearable art. There, one can expect pieces like the silverware-adorned dress from Maison Margiela's spring 2027 collection, as well as Hodakova’s spoon-laden pieces. “It will make us question: What do we overlook, what do we discard, what makes something worth keeping?” Bolton said. “I think that fashion is so often associated with the pursuit of the new and the ephemeral that I’m really interested in how possibilities can emerge through returning to familiar things. I think there’s something hopeful about discovering how much imagination the everyday can hold.”

When is the 2027 Met Gala?

The Met Gala will, as always, take place on the first Monday in May. In 2027, that falls on May 3. The accompanying exhibition will be open to the public from May 9 through January 9, 2028.

What is the 2027 Met Gala dress code?

Every year, the Met Gala theme corresponds to the Costume Institute exhibition, as well as a broader idea of what one can expect from the red carpet fashion. The dress code, though, offers more specific guidelines for attendees. As of now, we do not know the specifics of the Met Gala dress code, which will likely be announced closer to the actual event. Bolton has shared his hopes for guests to attend in their versions of jeans, T-shirts, and puffers. “I want visitors to leave looking differently at the clothes they arrived in,” he said. “With a greater sense of what is worth noticing, valuing, and caring for.”

And the Met Gala isn’t alone in its dress code this time. Bolton is encouraging visitors to the exhibit to dress accordingly, asking everyone to wear “their favorite t-shirt or their favorite pair of jeans or their favorite hoodie” to the show. “There’ll be a humanity to it,” he said.

Who are the co-chairs of the 2027 Met Gala?

The co-chairs have yet to be announced, but we do know that Meta and Moncler are sponsors of the event.

There’s an old joke that Miami Beach is where neon goes to die, but the outfit Hunter Schafer just wore is giving neon new life. In Miami to promote her role in Blade Runner 2099 at Wired World Fair, Schafer wore an edgy, upcycled, and unapologetically maximalist look from independent New York-based label NIHL.

The base of Schafer’s look—styled by her longtime collaborator, Dara Allen—was a sleeveless tennis-ball-green hoodie, the kind you might buy at a nearby tourist shop on South Beach. But Schafer’s was bedazzled in an arrangement of sequin concentric circles. Below, her cream and salmon-striped skirt was folded like origami at the waist, and shredded like a shipwreck at the knee. It also featured intricate bedazzling.

Designer Neil Grotzinger’s gender-fluid NIHL label specializes in reimagining existing pieces. According to Vogue, his spring 2027 collection, which included Schafer’s look, started with dresses from the 1950s and ’60s he’d thrifted across Europe during a summer trip. The pieces were cut up, rearranged, and finished in explosions of sequins and rhinestones. Schafer actually has a bit of history with the label—she also wore a memoriable NIHL piece onscreen during the second season of Euphoria.

Schafer has always been an adventurous dresser, but this outfit may be our clearest signal yet that the celebrity set is quickly tiring of quiet luxury. Designers are heading to the notions section to stock up on rhinestones, feathers, tassels, and other over-the-top accoutrements. Pattern clashing is decidedly back in fashion. Matthieu Blazy’s new interpretation of Chanel and Julian Klausner’s work at Dries Van Noten have been the most obvious examples, but even brands formerly known for stealth-wealth and minimalist looks have added extra flair to recent collections. Celebrities of all sorts (and their stylists) have taken note, but few have been as fearless to take it as far as Schafer—yet, anyway.

Blade Runner 2099, a limited-series sequel to one of science fiction’s most stylish franchises, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on November 25. Schafer’s promo tour for the series is only just beginning. We can’t wait to see more (and more, and more, and hopefully just a little bit more).

It’s tough for Georgia May Jagger to pin down what, exactly, formed her magnetic sense of style as a London It girl in the 2000s. But being the daughter of two fashion icons—Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall—certainly influenced things. “[My mom] loves to be glamorous,” Jagger tells W. “That’s always inspired me.” Starting her modeling career at just 14, Jagger’s striking aesthetic—the signature tooth gap, blond hair, and smudgy black eyeliner—earned her Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2009 (she was 17 at the time). With her indie-sleaze style and staple oversize graphic tees, she admits she was not one to dress up. But almost two decades later, things look different for the star, who does eveningwear with aplomb, especially during this time of year.

This is the idea behind Mackage’s 2026 holiday campaign, of which Jagger is the face. The outerwear brand’s festive shoot finds the model in an ornate Milanese palazzo wearing an array of black-tie looks finished with dramatic coats. These days, that’s exactly the kind of sartorial drama she seeks. “I love to make the coat the statement piece,” she says. “I love leopard print, faux fur, and making the jacket as good as what you have on underneath.”

Below, Jagger talks about borrowing from her mom’s Studio 54 wardrobe, looking to Dolly Parton for inspiration, and the makeup mistake she’ll never make again.

Mackage’s new campaign finds you wearing statement jackets over sharp eveningwear. What’s your favorite Mackage piece, and why?

My favorite is the Nanny faux-fur jacket. It’s so cool and looks great with everything, whether you are wearing it with jeans or on top of a party dress to keep you warm.

Nanny Faux-Fur Jacket

Mackage -

What is the most sentimental piece of clothing that you own?

Anything of my mother’s, especially the clothes she gave me from the ’70s when she first started modeling. I have a beautiful blue-and-silver fabric dress my mom used to wear to go to Studio 54.

How would you describe your style as a teenager?

Probably an indie-sleaze look. I spent most of my time wearing tiny American Apparel shorts, an oversize Daytona Bike Week T-shirt, thick black tights, chunky heeled boots, and a bowler hat—almost every time I went out! If I had to dress up, I would borrow something from my sister, Lizzy.

You had your son, Dean Lee Jagger Sedlick, two years ago. How has motherhood impacted your style?

I wear jeans even more than I did before, as I am always at the playground and running around after Dean. I still love to dress up, though.

You and your mom had a matching moment at Paris Fashion Week, and you recently borrowed her vintage Mugler dress. How has she influenced your style?

Growing up, watching her get ready for events and what she wore while modeling really affected me. She loves sharp tailoring, and my love for Vivienne Westwood and Thierry Mugler comes from her.

Who’s the best holiday gift-giver in your family?

That’s a hard one. My mom and dad are both great, but also my sister Lizzy. She picks things up all year long that she thinks you would like.

Who are your style icons?

Definitely my mother. But I also love Dolly Parton. Her style is so fun. [In terms of] current-day, Alexa Chung always looks amazing.

Do you have any fashion regrets?

I have definitely been convinced to wear a couple of outfits that did not look good on the red carpet. I think it’s also just wearing too much foundation or the wrong makeup.

What’s one trend you are currently loving?

I tend not to follow trends. I like to invest in pieces I will wear again and again, like a great coat. I always love a great pair of winter boots—I got Miu Miu motorcycle boots recently.

Are there any trends you hate?

The only trend I’ve ever not liked is square-toe shoes.

It’s no secret that Margot Robbie is a master at sheer dressing. But for her latest gauzy get-up, she’s feeling vintage-inspired, athletically inclined, and all the way Chanel. At the brand’s cruise 2027 show in Sydney on Thursday, the actor showed out in a barely-there slip with an unexpectedly sporty twist.

Sitting in the front row next to fellow Australian legend Nicole Kidman, Robbie showed off her affinity for reworked translucence in a slip fresh from Chanel’s spring 2027 runway. The ivory design was full of tiny, translucent pleats, with a built-in sheer bralette finished by a fantastical fabric flower. The most notable detail, however, was what was laid under the dress: high-waisted jersey briefs. Rather than lacy lingerie, the vintage-inspired undergarment nodded to Coco Chanel’s formative infatuation with stretchy, sportswear fabric.

Famously, Chanel revolutionized 20th-century fashion by making sportswear for women out of jersey, a material once used only for men’s undergarments. Robbie’s look, which opened the spring 2027 show, nodded to these workwear roots, with Blazy’s signature otherworldliness worked in. A black Chanel flap and a flipped-out blonde bob pulled the look together with contemporary polish, and made for an apt addition to Robbie’s red-carpet risk-taking.

From exacting doll cosplay for Barbie to risqué period dressing for Wuthering Heights, the 36-year-old brings not only star power to the box office, but playful provocation to each red carpet. After filming the Ocean’s 11 prequel in London this summer, she has been busy with behind-the-scenes duties at her LuckyChap Productions company, which is backing upcoming projects like the 2027 psychological sports drama Nasty, starring Jenna Ortega, and a live-action adaptation of The Sims. Still, even when she’s not in the midst of a viral front-facing method-dressing campaign, she finds a way to pull off a reference rich with worldbuilding. In this case, it’s by way of iconic underwear.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Holiday 2026 collection brings together fragrance, body care, and candles in limited-edition sets built for gifting. The centerpiece is Baccarat Rouge 540, available as an extrait de parfum, eau de parfum, a gift set that includes the entire scented ritual in one red box, and a rich body cream that feels perfectly fit for the season.

The collection also includes a rich body cream, hair perfume, and roll-on extraits designed to slip easily into a pocket or bag. Whether you’re treating yourself or someone you love, these pieces make the season feel a little more indulgent. Explore the collection now at Bloomingdale’s.

Naomi Watts is celebrating today, and her outfit is proof. Spotted on her way to an All’s Fair press appearance, the actress was all smiles in a Willy Chavarria set that was similarly beaming with joy.

After taking to Instagram to celebrate the Democratic sweep of the 2026 midterm elections, the star appeared in Midtown Manhattan A-line ensemble that oozed optimism. Her soft turtleneck sweater and pastel pointy-toe heels served relaxed sophistication. But her high-waisted skirt, adorned in a multicolored pattern and loose ivory thread, captured the true essence of the Mexican-American designer’s spring 2027 show.

Chavarria’s collection, titled “Comunión,” was a statement on finding hope, light, and community after dark times. In his show notes, he noted that each garment was crafted with warmth. “We realize that history has shown us what power we hold when we come together to do good,” he wrote. “This is the joy and inspiration that each look holds.” As such, textures appeared well-loved, and colors evoked optimism. Watts’s look, specifically, features a dreamy hue that the brand dubbed “celestial blue.” Chavarria has been on of American fashion’s most political voices for the past decade. In previous collections, he’s partnered with the ACLU and Human Rights Campaign, proudly drawn from his working-class Chicano background, and used his spring 2026 runway show in Paris to make a bold statement about the mistreatment of those rounded up by ICE.

Before appearing on Live with Kelly and Mark to promote season 2 of the Ryan Murphy show, Watts celebrated the election results on her Instagram stories. She reshared posts about a “blue wave,” the female politicians who have made history, and Texas turning blue for the first time in decades. Satisfyingly, Watts’s playful outfit aptly expressed her good mood.

Politics aside, All’s Fair is cause for its own sartorial celebration, with its campy plotlines and over-the-top costumes inspiring a particularly maximalist press tour aesthetic. Just like dopamine dressing, when times are tough, we could probably all use some deliciously nonsensical TV.

Kim Kardashian may still be in pursuit of her law degree, but she certainly has her doctorate in Dolce & Gabbana History. For her latest look on the All’s Fair press tour, she once again dipped into the Italian brand’s ’90s archives.

Spotted heading to promotional appearances in New York City, Kardashian slipped into a sheer crochet dress from Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 1997 runway with statement intimates underneath. The look was full of romantic details, from the intricate embroidery across the neckline to floral motifs down the front. Its open-knit design was made to show off undergarments, but instead of opting for a risqué thong or itty-bitty briefs, Kardashian stayed true to the runway’s original styling with a structured black bra and a high-waisted skirt.

It’s no secret that the reality-turned-TV-star has an extensive vintage archive. And working with Law Roach throughout the All’s Fair press tour has allowed her to flex her flair for fashion history even further. Case in point: for an appearance on Good Morning America with Sarah Paulson today, Roach styled her in a look from Paco Rabanne’s couture spring 1989 runway. The dress was much more structured than her Dolce&Gabbana underwear ensemble, with tiny round disks constructing the bodice and a ruched orange skirt cascading to the floor.

Since beginning their professional partnership in September, Law Roach and Kim Kardashian have tapped into some very exclusive archives, from Y2K YSL to 1950s-era Balenciaga couture. At the All’s Fair premiere red carpet this week, Kardashian said that part of her excitement about working with Roach was the expansive access to designers. Of course, this comes with impressive vintage pulls.

But to her credit, even pre-Roach, Dolce & Gabbana history has always been Kardashian’s forté. She curated the label’s spring 2023 archival-inspired show, she landed a Skims partnership with the brand, and she famously squabbled over its ’90s Italian aesthetic with sister Kourtney after her Dolce-themed wedding. Now that she is working with Roach, Kardashian’s draw towards vintage is on full display. The Dolce & Gabbana archives fit perfectly into the rotation.

Prep doesn’t always have to stick to strict New England styling standards: Just look to Sarah Paulson. Today, the All’s Fair actor was spotted heading into New York City’s ABC Studios in a look that served Ivy League polish up top and eclectic opulence down low.

The ensemble, from the Michael Kors Collection spring 2027 runway, managed to expertly meld fraternity bro with fantasy glow. Her green striped polo, layered on top of a crisp white collar, checked all the boxes of by-the-book dressing. But her billowing dark skirt, adorned at random with sequin floral appliqués, disregarded the rules of collegiate codes.

Offbeat academia has been on the mood board for Paulson this week. Just yesterday, she was spotted arriving at the Four Seasons in midtown Manhattan wearing schoolboy trousers of unbelievably enormous proportions. She managed to make the look cool instead of comical, with her high-neck jacket and sleek brown bag exuding intentionality while her pants pooled at her feet.

Of course, Paulson is no stranger to taking classic silhouettes and recognizable aesthetics and giving them an unconventional twist. She and stylist Karla Welch have long worked together to add charming flair to coquettish bows, plain white tees, and menswear suiting, and have certainly amped up that inclination during the All’s Fair season 2 press tour. Earlier this week, she wore a Roksanda dress with exaggerated leather hips that skewed Victorian-period dressing.

For those who haven’t seen the Ryan Murphy drama, Paulson plays Carr Lane, a biting divorce attorney who rivals the women-led firm of Allura Grant (Kim Kardashian). Streaming on Hulu today, All’s Fair season 2 has already received marginally more positive reviews than the widespread critical panning of season 1. For her daytime promotional outings, Paulson’s twisted takes on preppy signatures only add to the dramedy’s camp. All’s Fair is on, and Paulson’s class is in session.

Whitney Peak and Joseph Zada play romantic partners in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. But instead of traditional couple coordination, they’re choosing to wink at their characters’ chemistry with floral-embellished ensembles.

At the film’s Berlin premiere on Monday night, Peak and Zada were sartorially linked in botanical designs. Peak’s satin dress, from Chanel’s fall 2026 runway, featured inverted V panels with dark lace and floral embellishments, giving typical ethereal embroidery a darker spin. Next to her, Zada wore a floral-adorned coat from Burberry’s spring 2027 collection. It’s a fitting red-carpet motif for the pair. Peak plays Lenore Dove Baird, a 16-year-old girl in District 12 and the girlfriend of a young Haymitch Abernathy (Zada). The young couple is separated when Haymitch is sent into the Hunger Games arena, where florals are rarely what they seem and are often deadly.

While many of the Hunger Games cast have been taking a more-is-more approach to red-carpet style (see: Elle Fanning’s Effie Trinket cosplay of Mckenna Grace’s fire dress), Peak has taken a more subtle path. Instead of otherworldly ballgowns, the Chanel ambassador has been embracing Matthieu Blazy’s whimsical eveningwear on the red carpet. At the London premiere last week, she wore a multicolored frock from Chanel’s spring 2026 couture show with patchwork appliqués and a sheer skirt.

The Berlin premiere, however, marks the first time she and Zada have been so sartorially in sync. It makes sense that Peak is now ramping up her red-carpet world-building. She’s had a busy year: While The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is her biggest commercial project, she wrapped filming the dark comedy heist film 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank early in 2026, and she starred in Netflix’s thriller Thrash in the spring. Still, no matter how busy she is, Peak always manages to put together an interesting outfit. And with the Hunger Games prequel hitting theaters on November 20, we can only hope more flora-focused fashion is on the horizon.

French fashion brand Coperni has closed its doors after eight years. The news was announced on Wednesday on Instagram in a statement made by cofounders and creative directors Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer. It comes after almost a year-long conflict with Coperni’s distributor and shareholder, Tomorrow Ltd., involving unpaid sums. The brand’s shuttering is a loss for the fashion world, as Vaillant and Meyer were innovators in the space, pushing technological integration and bold ideas at every turn.

Vaillant and Meyer met at Mod’Art International and launched the brand together in 2013 as Coperni Femme, with Meyer in charge of creative and Vaillant holding down the managerial and business aspects. They named the brand after astronomer Nicolaus ­Copernicus, whose heliocentric theory was groundbreaking at the time of its introduction in 1543. “It’s the duty of our generation to try something new,” Vaillant said in 2019.

The brand immediately gained recognition, winning ANDAM’s Creative Label Prize in 2014 and becoming a finalist for the LVMH Prize a year later. Then came the opportunity to become the artistic directors of Courrèges, which Vaillant and Meyer gladly took on, putting Coperni on hold to focus on the new endeavor. After two years, though, they were done with Courrèges, and in 2018, Vaillant and Meyer relaunched Coperni. The new iteration focused on minimalist designs boasting clean lines and architectural details. Vaillant and Meyer also placed a focus on technology, often collaborating with experts in scientific fields both for inspiration and innovation. “I probably shouldn’t say this,” Meyer said. “But we find companies like Apple much more inspiring than anything happening in fashion.”

That statement explains Coperni’s Swipe Bag, designed to look like the slide-to-unlock feature on the iPhone. The accessory became a best seller for Coperni, and was iterated on continuously. In 2021, Vaillant and Meyer introduced a version produced in vegan apple leather. A year later, they collaborated with New York glass brand HEVƎN to create transparent glass Swipe bags. In 2023, they made versions made in solid gold and from a 55,000-year-old lunar meteorite, respectively.

Coperni’s most viral creation came in 2022. At the brand’s spring/summer 2023 show in Paris, Bella Hadid stepped onstage in nothing but a nude thong. Once there, men began spraying her with a white cobweb-like substance, and a dress formed on her body. After some finessing, Hadid was able to continue her walk on the runway, this time in a full garment created before the guests’ eyes. It was the 21st-century version of the moment between Shalom Harlow and the spray-painting robots at the Alexander McQueen spring/summer 1999 show. Vaillant and Meyer achieved it with help from Spanish materials-science company Fabrican.

The pair continued pushing the envelope and the next season, the Coperni runway was filled with robot dogs pulling clothing off the models as they passed. Once again, the designers were exploring the connection between technology and humanity, a relationship that has only gotten more complicated in the years since these initial presentations.

And while not a technological achievement, Coperni will also be remembered for its spring/summer 2025 show, held at Disneyland Paris in collaboration with the entertainment juggernaut. The show featured Disney x Coperni pieces—specifically a version of the Swipe Bag boasting Mickey Mouse ears on the handle—as well as an appearance by Kylie Jenner on the runway.

In February 2026, Coperni opted not to show at Paris Fashion Week, announcing that the relationship with Tomorrow Ltd. “has deteriorated significantly, to the point that Coperni no longer has the means to support its development.” In March, when Tomorrow Ltd. was sold to Progetto 11, the parent company of Italian e-commerce firm The Level Group, Vaillant and Meyer attempted to retake control of the brand to no avail. This past June, Coperni was granted secured protection from the Paris Court, and it was hoped that the buyback process of Coperni could begin. Clearly, that did not come to pass.

By losing Coperni, the fashion space just got a little less interesting. Vaillant and Meyer were pioneering as a pair, never content with the status quo of simply sending designs down the runway. “These eight years have been incredible,” Vaillant and Meyer said in a statement on Instagram. “We have been able to bring our ideas to life, meet unforgettable people, and share moments we would never have dared to imagine when we first embarked on this journey. Coperni existed because of you.” They ended the statement with the sign-off, “See you soon,” hopefully foreshadowing an eventual return of Vaillant and Meyer in some form.

Derek C. Blasberg’s origin story is “pretty typical,” he says: “Small-town boy moves to the big city with dreams and stars in his eyes.” Born and raised in St. Louis, the 44-year-old decamped to Manhattan in 2000 to attend New York University and was instantly fascinated by the fashion world. He began his career as an intern at W and at Vogue, then quickly became a man-about-town, as likely to write about the best parties as he was to attend them. Since then, Blasberg has enjoyed many careers, from New York Times best-selling author to YouTube’s first-ever head of fashion and beauty.

These days, he juggles a few jobs: He’s a senior director at Gagosian, a special correspondent for Vanity Fair, a columnist for Harper’s Bazaar, and a Substacker. In July, he published Fast + Louche, a collection of Interview magazine nightlife columns he wrote from 2009 to 2012. With his point-and-shoot camera, he captured everyone from Phoebe Philo at the CFDA Awards to Nicole Richie at Mr. Chow for the column. “I still get giddy when I get invited to any of these fancy parties,” he says. “Honestly, sometimes I also still get nervous, because there’s a little part of me waiting for someone to tap me on the shoulder and say, ‘Excuse me, sir, you’re not supposed to be here.’”

With hundreds of soirées under his belt, Blasberg has theories on what makes one work. “A great party needs three things: people you love, people you don’t know, and at least one person you probably shouldn’t be talking to,” he says. Ultimately, “the best, most memorable nights of my life were the spontaneous ones. I’ve been lucky enough to go to some of the most fabulous places with some of the most fabulous people—but you can’t manufacture a great night. You can plan a party down to the flowers and the seating chart, but you can’t plan the magic. That’s the whole point.”

Top: Two-year-old Blasberg is pictured sleeping at his family’s kitchen table. “I’ve lived in New York for longer than I lived in Missouri, but I still identify as this Midwest kid trying to make it in the big city,” Blasberg explains. “So many of my core memories are vividly suburban: riding bikes around the neighborhood and never locking them, a social life that revolved around the mall. Of course, I couldn’t wait to get the fuck out of there, but the older I get, the more I cherish those memories. That’s probably why I’ve always maintained a little bit of an outsider’s perspective on this industry.” Bottom: He’s pictured celebrating his third birthday at McDonald’s, an event with Happy Meals, paper crowns, and a giant chocolate chip cookie cake. “For a 3-year-old in suburban America, it was as glamorous as you could get.”

Blasberg (bottom left) in 1985 with his brother, Chris (behind Blasberg), and the children of his mother’s Beta Sigma Phi sorority sisters at a party on the Lake of the Ozarks, or “the Hamptons of the Midwest,” as he calls it. Blasberg still returns to the lake every summer, for “long days on the water, waterskiing, tubing, and sunburns.”

Blasberg with his friend Maja Heyduk at their senior-year homecoming, themed “One Moment in Time.” Blasberg rented a tuxedo from Desmond’s, at Crestwood Plaza mall, and the dance was held in the high school gym, which was decorated by the student council. “It was all very sweet and small-town and homemade. At the time, it felt like the biggest night in the world.” He loved his vinyl black and white rental shoes so much that he begged the girl at the shop to let him keep them. “I still have them, of course.”

Top: Blasberg with his high school best friends, Maria Zemen (left) and Heyduk, in Zemen’s childhood bedroom. Growing up in St. Louis, the trio shopped at thrift stores, put together “wildly avant-garde outfits,” and went on late-night picture-taking adventures. “We were basically proto-influencers—we just didn’t have anywhere to post the content.” Bottom: They’re at their high school graduation, in 2000. Blasberg had a perfect attendance record from kindergarten through senior year. “It made the local news. I was a huge overachiever in high school because I knew I’d have to pull every trick I had to chase my dreams.”

“I attended NYU in 2000, and it felt like my real life could officially begin. I finally met other gay men— I didn’t meet an openly gay person until I was 18—and found a community of people who were as obsessed with fashion and art as I was.” When he spent a year abroad in London, he “fell even deeper under fashion’s spell.” Above: His student ID from his time in Europe.

In 2006, models Lily Donaldson (left) and Gemma Ward brought Blasberg to a French Vogue party hosted at the Gramercy Park Hotel. He got in as a plus-one, “a role I happily fulfilled for most of my early 20s,” he explains. “What’s the opposite of a nepo baby? My dad was an accountant, and my mom worked for a medical journal—in Missouri. Tagging along with these girls gave me a front-row seat to this world I was still figuring out how to become a part of.”

In 2008, Blasberg went to Moscow with (from left) artist Olympia Scarry, socialite Eugenie Niarchos, gallerist Larry Gagosian, Zhukova, and activist Barbara Bush. They all attended “For What You Are About to Receive,” an exhibition the Gagosian gallery staged in a 28,000-square-foot Soviet-era chocolate factory. “Afterward, we drank approximately a zillion gallons of vodka,” recalls Blasberg, who met Gagosian socially years before working for him. “He continues to be a source of inspiration.”

In 2012, Blasberg and Emma Watson (below, right) attended a party in London thrown by Gucci celebrating Blasberg’s book Very Classy. It was an expanded edition of his first book, Classy, a collection of comedic essays about etiquette. Very Classy carried the unofficial tagline “Be a lady, not a tramp.” As he says, “Some of the etiquette advice has aged better than the tagline, which makes me cringe a little now.” Blasberg met Watson in 2008, when the actor attended her first fashion show—Chanel, no less. “I have to confess that I never read the Harry Potter books, and I still haven’t seen the films, but the fashion gods brought us together. I remember being completely bowled over by how clever and well-read this young woman was. She was a teenager reciting sonnets!”

“I love Celine Dion—who doesn’t?” In 2012, Blasberg flew to Las Vegas twice to see her residency. He recalls sitting in the audience and “thinking over and over again: This person was put on this planet to do this one thing.” Afterward, he visited her dressing room, “with its billowing white curtains and scented candles.” He sat there “enraptured as she morphed from pop diva into wonderfully kooky, completely unfiltered Celine.”

During Couture Week in 2013, Blasberg attended a dinner Valentino Garavani and his business partner, Giancarlo Giammetti, hosted for Anna Wintour. The festivities were held at Château de Wideville, Valentino’s 17th-century estate outside of Paris. “Nobody did decadence quite like these two: beautiful rooms, beautiful tables, beautiful people, incredible food, and always a sense that the evening could go anywhere.”

From left: Miley Cyrus, Karen Elson, Emma Roberts, Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne, Rita Ora, and Blasberg at the 2013 Met Gala—one of the 15 or 16 he estimates he’s attended. The theme was “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” for which Blasberg had a makeup artist apply neck tattoos at the Carlyle hotel a few hours before. Blondie was performing when he snapped this picture, which may or may not be the first group selfie at the Met Gala. “This ould be my greatest contribution to fashion history. Put it on my tombstone!”

Blasberg with (from left) entrepreneur and podcaster Sara Foster, art collector Dasha Zhukova, Nicole Richie, and Naomi Campbell at an Oscars afterparty in 2016. “You have to understand that the Oscars were a national holiday in my house,” says Blasberg. “My parents would let me stay up late to watch them—but I’d record them on VHS anyway so I could watch them again. Yes, I was one of those kids. I still am, by the way.”

In 2019, Blasberg celebrated the Fourth of July in Paris at the house of Lauren Santo Domingo (third from left), along with (from left) his partner, Nick Brown; filmmaker Simon Kinberg; filmmaker Fabiola Beracasa Beckman; poet Cleo Wade; and actor Jessica Chastain. Blasberg met Santo Domingo when she was a market editor at Vogue and he was interning in the accessories closet during his senior year at NYU. “She was already one of the most glamorous women I’d ever met, a title she continues to hold.” Her Paris home, decorated by the late François Catroux, has been the site of countless soirées.

From left: Blasberg, Margherita Maccapani Missoni, Coco Brandolini d’Adda, Santo Domingo, Simmons, Kelly Sawyer, and Beracasa Beckman visiting Vistorta, the Brandolini family estate in Friuli, Italy, for Brandolini d’Adda’s 40th birthday, in 2019. The night featured a giant cake covered in tiny strawberries (Blasberg’s favorite food) and an outdoor disco that ran until the wee hours.

In 2021, Blasberg and a group of friends, including (from left) designer Lazaro Hernandez, editor Kristina O’Neill, fashion editor Katie Grand, stylist Tabitha Simmons, and designer Jack McCollough, stopped for a nightcap at the Carlyle hotel. Mariah Carey happened to pull up in a limo. “We watched her sort of wiggle out of the car and float into the hotel. Naturally, we followed.” O’Neill trailed her into the bathroom and persuaded her to sing. Minutes later, Carey was serenading the group. She requested to take this photo. “This was back when I carried a digital camera with me everywhere—for moments just like this one.”

Blasberg with Dua Lipa in 2021 at the afterparty for “Fendace,” when Versace’s and Fendi’s designers swapped houses for a collection shown in Milan: “Kate Moss on the runway! An afterparty in Gianni Versace’s old apartment on Via Gesù!” Later that night, a few stragglers gathered around a grand piano in a hotel lobby for an impromptu performance by Lipa.

Blasberg with Giammetti (center) and Valentino on the dance floor at Château de Wideville. As Blasberg recalls, whenever anyone complimented the designer on his style, he’d reply, “I love beauty; it’s not my fault.”

Blasberg with jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer (left) and actor Kate Hudson at their joint birthday party in 2023, held at Hudson’s home in the Pacific Palisades. The joint-party tradition began in 2015, when the three realized their birthdays fall within a week of one another’s: “Why not combine forces?”

In 2023, Blasberg co-curated “Avedon 100,” an exhibition at the Gagosian gallery marking the centennial of Richard Avedon’s birth. Above: He’s with Hillary Clinton in front of Avedon’s portrait of her. For the photo session, Clinton arrived in one of her trademark pantsuits. Avedon told her he’d seen enough pictures of her wearing that, so he handed her the sweater off his own back. When Clinton ran for president in 2016, Blasberg canvassed for her and joined her at New York’s Javits Center on election night. “That remains one of the saddest and most surreal nights I can remember. I’d gone there expecting to witness one kind of history, and instead witnessed another.”

Brown and Blasberg getting ready for the 2022 Met Gala with their twins, Noah and Grace, who were born in 2021. “Suddenly, I’d swapped popping bottles for baby bottles,” says Blasberg. “A very different kind of pregame. Becoming a father has been the greatest choice and most fulfilling ride of my life.”

Angelina Jolie appearances may be a rare surprise, but her signature black and white style is always familiar. On Monday, at a special screening for Wild Horse Nine in Los Angeles, she gave her tonal aesthetic a breezy twist.

The star-studded event, which she reportedly hosted, saw the actor reunite with former costar John Malkovich. Her outfit was characteristically minimalist, with a billowy white top, a floor-grazing black skirt, and glossy stilettos for added glamour. She continued the two-toned palette with Maria McManus’s Reversible Duster Coat with the sleeves rolled up just so. Jolie is no stranger to a statement jacket, but while her red-carpet trenches tend to be more structured and buttoned-up, her outfit here was slouchy, satiny, and decidedly undone. It’s understandable that it’s laid-back, since Jolie is not actually starring in the upcoming film.

Written and directed by Martin McDonagh, Wild Horse Nine is a dark political comedy set before the 1973 American military coup in Chile, following two squabbling CIA agents (Malkovich and Sam Rockwell). It also stars Parker Posey, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, and Chilean actress Mariana di Girolamo. Jolie has no official involvement in the project, but she does have history with Malkovich. The duo costarred in the 2008 American crime drama Changeling, which earned her an Oscar nomination for best actress.

Though Jolie was spotted smiling and posing with the cast, she was notably absent from the official photos of the event. Still, for the evening’s festivities, she put a fresh twist on her go-to premiere uniform. The last time the 51-year-old star attended a film screening, she wore a structured black suit to promote her directorial effort Without Blood in New York City. Before that, she flipped the palette at the premiere of her movie Couture in a white trench atop a black evening gown. Her latest look stays true to her exacting aesthetic, albeit with a little more behind-the-scenes mystique.

Sofia Coppola is, without a doubt, a New York City fixture. But when she wants to see art, you might find her outside the five boroughs.

“I love going to Dia Beacon,” she told W on Monday night at the Dia Art Foundation’s fall gala, sponsored by Chanel. “I have good memories of going with my mom—growing up, she always dragged us to see contemporary art she loved. I remember going when I had Romy [Mars, my daughter] in the stroller.” She added of the Hudson Valley museum: “It’s great for little kids to run around.”

The filmmaker joined Chanel artistic director Matthieu Blazy, the evening’s co-chair, along with Julio Torres, Marion Cotillard, Carrie Mae Weems, Thelma Golden, and a crowd of art-world luminaries for Dia Fall Night 2026, an annual event supporting the foundation’s numerous projects, including long-term installations in Dutchess County as well as commissions for new exhibitions in the city.

The evening’s celebration honored the visual artist and writer Roni Horn and the British artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen, both of whom attended the swanky cocktail hour and dinner. Horn and McQueen both received special tributes—the former’s from artist Matthew Barney, and the latter’s from Meshell Ndegeocello, who performed live, weaving between the long tables where guests dined on seasonal roast vegetables and beef short rib.

Before taking her seat at dinner, Coppola visited the galleries at Dia Chelsea on West 22nd Street, just a few blocks from the party. On view? David Lamelas: The Machine, the Argentine artist’s first major presentation in New York. (“I thought it was a group show because there were so many different forms of media,” she remarked.) While her husband, Thomas Mars, the father of Romy and her sister, Cosima, waited in the wings, Coppola said, “I’m continuing the tradition that my mom started: making us go see art.”

For American fashion’s biggest night, Keke Palmer honored a late American fashion legend. The actor, who served as the host of the 2026 CFDA Awards, arrived at the annual ceremony on Monday in a rare Bob Mackie gown from 1975.

To fashion fans, the ab-bearing gold dress is instantly recognizable as a piece of history. Complete with glittery straps and a front slit, it was originally worn by Raquel Welch to perform “I’m A Woman” alongside Cher on The Cher Show decades ago. The now-iconic performance opened with a behind-the-scenes bit, wherein the two women complained about not being stage-ready before emerging in slightly different versions of Mackie’s sexy, cut-out-filled dress. For last night’s rewear, Palmer’s stylist Molly Dickson sourced the garment from vintage boutique Timeless Vixen. Finishing the look with Old Hollywood waves and high-shine accessories, the actor repped Mackie’s “Sultan of Sequins” aesthetic with ease.

The California-born designer, who died at the age of 87 in September, spent his career dressing big personalities for the stage. As a longtime Cher collaborator, he created the majority of the glitzy, boundary-pushing outfits on The Cher Show. He, too, has been recognized by the CFDA Awards over the years, having received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019 and the Exuberance Award in 2001. The latter, which was created just for him, most aptly sums up his beloved, larger-than-life presence. In the weeks since the designer’s passing, his rhinestone-embellished archive—which defined an era of glossy showmanship—has only grown to be more prized. What better place to honor it than at the Oscars of fashion?

Throughout the press tour for All’s Fair season 2, Kim Kardashian has been testing the limits of waist cinching. After sporting a slashed silicone Schiaparelli gown in Mexico City, she pushed the hourglass silhouette to even further extremes in New York.

At the Monday night premiere, the beauty mogul stepped onto the carpet in custom Ashi Studio couture gown constructed of lace, suede, and crocodile leather. The sweetheart bodice appeared moulded to her body, while the trailing grey cords added a deconstructed edge. The back was all the more intense, with lace-up details lining both the dress and choker. According to the brand, it took 500 hours to make, with each cord individually placed by artisans in Paris. The ensemble offered perhaps her most maximalist spin on the corset dress yet.

The dress is the latest result of her relatively new collaboration with stylist Law Roach, and it marks her first time working with Ashi Studio. On the carpet, she noted that she and Roach have been friends for years, and that she recently turned to him to expand her relationships with designers and fashion brands. “We’ve always waited for our moment, and this is our moment together,” she said.

Premiering on Hulu tomorrow, season 2 of the Ryan Murphy-produced legal series finds Kardashian reprising her role as Allura Grant—an all-powerful, absurdly dressed divorce attorney. Leading up to the second season, Kardashian and her co-stars have been embracing the nonsensical nature of the show, with Kardashian reframing it as a comedy instead of a serious drama. At last night’s premiere, the cast’s over-the-top approach was on full display. Niecy Nash-Betts wore a sculptural LouBe hood. Sarah Paulson went similarly reptilian in a croc-embossed Roksanda ballgown. And Glenn Close walked the red carpet with...another Glenn Close.

Last night, Anthony Vaccarello was honored as International Designer of the Year at the 2026 CFDA Awards for his decade-long tenure at Saint Laurent. To celebrate, the designer gathered four of his favorite muses and dipped them in gold.

On the white carpet, Rosé, supermodel Anja Rubik, Zoë Kravitz, and Hailey Bieber flanked Vaccarello in 24-karat-worthy looks fresh off his spring 2027 runway. In his final show before announcing he was stepping down from the house after 10 years, Vaccarello sent out an almost all-gold collection underneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Of course, seeing the reflective garments worn in real life made his final designs feel even more impactful.

Each of these women has worked with Saint Laurent for years. Bieber exuded après-ski opulence in a long-sleeve skirt set lined with faux fur and brocade lace. Rosé donned an embroidered halter crop top, while Kravitz leaned into Surrealist moulding in a backless bodysuit. Rubik—who actually walked the spring 2027 runway—layered a shimmering Lurex lamé bomber jacket over her gown.

Inside the ceremony, Kravitz, Rosé, and Bieber took to the stage to present Vaccarello with his award. “Anthony doesn’t just design clothes; he creates an attitude, a sense of freedom, and confidence that is distinctly his own,” said Rosé. Needless to say, that attitude came to life in the golden-girl-group moment on the carpet. Though Vaccarello’s tenure at Saint Laurent has come to a close, his impact is unwavering. As one X user put it: “This is the maximum aura you can achieve as a fashion designer.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race has never done a “Night of 1,000 Glenn Closes” episode, which is a shame. Close’s filmography has enough camp-classic characters to fill an entire runway: Cruella De Vil (of course), bunny-boiling Alex Forrest from Fatal Attraction, her Tony-winning version of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, Dangerous Liaison’s deliciously wicked Marquise de Merteuil, the unhinged grandmother from Lee Daniels’s The Deliverance, and her upcoming over-the-top role as Drusilla Sickle in the next Hunger Games movie. But none of those characters are quite as iconic as Close herself. Performance artist and drag icon Alexis Stone seems to know that. He turned himself into Glenn Close to walk the red carpet for the New York City premiere of All’s Fair.

Close and Stone took to the red carpet in matching versions of a shredded-hem skirt suit from Matières Fécales’s spring 2027 collection. Padded shoulders formed a striking silhouette. Black knee-high leather boots and matching gloves added graphic appeal, but really the main attraction here was Stone’s prosthetic makeup.

Stone, a British drag queen and SFX makeup artist, first gained fame on Instagram, but in recent years has become a frequent front-row presence at fashion week, showing up in drag as dozens of camp icons and famous characters. He’s done everyone from Mrs. Doubtfire to Lana Del Rey, Miranda Priestly, and Joan Rivers. He’s even done a version of Close before, turning into Cruella De Vil for Balenciaga’s spring 2024 runway show.

Rarely, though, has Stone come face-to-face with his inspiration. The premiere of All’s Fair’s second season was certainly an apt occasion. The first go-around of the Kim Kardashian–starring, Ryan Murphy–produced legal drama was a ratings hit for Hulu, but was met with scathing reviews from critics. (“Fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible,” wrote The Guardian.) Apparently, all involved decided to regroup and accept the fact that they aren’t exactly making Shakespeare. “Last season, we thought we were serious. We didn’t know that we were a comedy,” Kardashian recently told Variety. “So this season, we really lean in and we go for it. It’s campier than ever.”

The red carpet seems to have leaned into camp as well. While the CFDA Awards attracted a more traditionally fashionable crowd at the American Museum of Natural History on Monday night, the All’s Fair event went for full-on, unapologetic fun. Guests included Lady Bunny, Real Housewife Dorinda Medley, Gia Giudice, and America’s Next Top Model’s first male winner Nyle DiMarco. Of course, Close meeting her drag queen doppelgänger may very well go down in history as one of the campiest red-carpet moments of all time. That bodes well for the show’s upcoming season. If guilty-pleasure viewers want a little camp, they’re certainly going to get it.

Close plays Kardashian’s character’s legal mentor on the series. There were no prosthetics involved for that role, but Close is no stranger to extreme makeup herself. Her Hunger Games role required extensive prosthetics and fake teeth. She also underwent hours of gender-bending makeup for her titular role as Albert Nobbs. We’re sure she appreciates Stone’s craft.

Stone’s version is likely hard to beat, but we’d still love to see Drag Race take a stab at things. Who wouldn’t want to see Trixie Mattel’s take on Close’s “the wife” from the movie The Wife?

On Monday, November 2, fashion heavy hitters and stylish stalwarts gathered at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City for the 2026 CFDA Awards. Now in its 45th year, the annual ceremony—often dubbed the Oscars of fashion—celebrates the brands, designers, and talent shaping the industry in America and abroad.

Hosted by Keke Palmer, the 2026 CFDA Awards promise to be as electric as ever. Tory Burch is this year’s Positive Change Award recipient for her philanthropic efforts through the Tory Burch Foundation as well as a nominee for American Womenswear Designer of the Year. Famed architect Peter Marino, who has designed flagships for brands like Chanel, Dior, and Louis Vuitton, is this year’s Fashion Icon honoree. Notably, Anthony Vaccarello is to be named International Designer of the Year, honoring his influential tenure at Saint Laurent. After a decade at the helm of the French brand and a final gold-dipped spring 2027 show in Paris, the designer officially left his role as creative director last month.

Along with a star-studded audience, select A-listers will also grace the stage to present. Lupita Nyong’o will announce the American Womenswear Designer of the Year, Matt Damon will present the American Menswear Designer of the Year, and Naomi Osaka will give out the American Accessory Designer of the Year. As has become tradition, before any awards are announced, the 2026 nominees and honorees will hit the red carpet with a handful of their friends and muses. For Vaccarello, that means likely appearances from his pals and house ambassadors Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Rosé. You can expect VIPs wearing custom looks from everyone from Khaite, Diotima, The Row, Luar, Colleen Allen, Michael Kors and more.

Keira Knightley is not exactly known for method dressing on the red carpet, but to celebrate season 2 of her show Black Doves, she suited up in a subtly on-theme ensemble.

At the London premiere of the Netflix crime-thriller series on Monday, Knightley very literally winked at the show’s title in a black tailored suit with avian details. Originally appearing on Chanel’s spring 2026 couture runway by Matthieu Blazy, the look had the structure of a classic womenswear suit, with precisely pleated trousers and subtle hourglass tailoring. Blazy, however, is known for adding a bit of whimsy to all of his designs. Here that took shape in rows of bright red parrot-head buttons.

Knightley is no stranger to wearing Chanel on a red carpet. She’s been an ambassador for the brand since the days of Karl Lagerfeld. But her ensemble’s bird-inspired imagery makes for a particularly apt choice for this appearance. The series finds Knightley playing Helen Webb, a politician’s wife who discreetly doubles as a government spy for a covert organization called the Black Doves. While the actual birds have little to do with the show, it’s rich with metaphors of secrecy and unexpected details. All things considered, Chanel spring 2026 couture made for the perfect premiere uniform.

Presented in January, this runway marked Blazy’s debut couture collection for Chanel, and saw him turning his focus to birds as an emblem of freedom and motion. There were oversize wing-inspired silhouettes and frothy plumage lining multiple designs. While crimson parrots are much more whimsical than black doves, the adornments double as an IYKYK nod to the title. In a world of on-the-nose method dressing, sometimes the best premiere looks are done in a roundabout way—all the better when it’s Chanel couture.

Of all the fashion trends to emerge this year, the redemption of the bra is perhaps the most revealing. Once deemed stuffy and restrictive, bras are no longer just supportive undergarments, but an outfit’s main event.

Look no further than the spring 2027 runways, where models marched with the traditionally hidden garment on full display. Prada’s viral skirts were accompanied by teeny brassieres, while Dior’s dreamy collection embraced bras as recurring accents. Elsewhere, stars like Charli xcx, Adéla, Sabrina Carpenter, and Anya Taylor-Joy have been eschewing traditional shirts in favor of statement-making intimates. It’s clear that the bra—in all its lacy, bedazzled, and push-up glory—is in. But how does this translate to real life?

If you’re not an internet It girl by trade, the thought of adopting the non-top may feel daunting. Rest assured, it’s not out of reach. Below, six chic ways to style the bra, inspired by runways and red-carpet stars.

Just a Hint

For an easy in to the trend, take a cue from Johnathan Anderson’s Dior runway, and start with a whisper of undergarment visibility. A tailored blazer with a plunging V-neck will offer just the right amount of peek-a-boo playfulness while giving you a protective layer. For added polish, top it off with a pendant and a T-strap heel.

Sabrina Carpenter’s street-style moment in Paris this summer was a masterclass in the off-duty bra outfit. The key here is to balance a lace brassiere with slouchy denim and a sleek leather tote. Make the look autumn-appropriate by trading her toe-exposing sandals for Bordeaux slippers.

Give your boardroom-ready look an after-hours twist by buttoning things down, Prada style. A black silk bra with subtle scalloped detailing makes for a perfect layering piece under an oversize satin blouse. For a more wearable take on the runway’s skirt, swap the hot-pink plastic for striking red pleats and a matching bold lip.

It’s become a recurring motif on her Music, Fashion, Film tour, but the look is also deceptively simple to adapt off-stage. Add an icy blue undergarment to your all-black outfit to infuse an otherwise Gothic look with fresh energy.

Let others wonder if you got things mixed up this morning. Wearing your bra on top of your shirt eliminates any intimidating skin-bearing and oozes the confidence of a trendsetter.

Outside, the leaves are turning and the temperature is dropping, which means one thing: fall is upon us, and November is ushering in the season with a gust of fresh air. The first big transit of this month will occur on November 8, with the Scorpio new moon. Scorpio cherishes mastery, so look to this full moon as a moment to begin the process of shedding and transforming habits. During these last few days of Venus and Mercury retrograde, the Scorpio new moon offers a chance to build momentum behind the lessons we’ve learned over the past few weeks. What inner workings need to start taking material shape? How are you starting to embrace the phoenix imagery, rising from the ashes and growing over the next six months? This is a good time to set intentions for how you plan to work through the realizations you had during Venus and Mercury retrograde.

On the 13th, the Mercury and Venus retrogrades end. Astrologically, this day is important because it marks a moment to move forward. These inner planets have a heavy hand in our daily lives, so take it as an invitation from the universe to start making slow adjustments to how you move through your day. While you might be inclined to see this as things going “back to business as usual,” retrograde energy lingers even after the planets move forward again. Mercury’s shadow lasts another two weeks, and Venus’s until mid December. So take time to meditate, journal, and reflect on what came up over October and the first half of November as it relates to your communication patterns, daily life, values, and relationships.

On the 15th, Mars connects with Jupiter and the South Node in the later degrees of Leo. Mars with Jupiter is like a blade meeting flint, starting a fire on a large pile of coconut husk. Ideally, this should be a controlled burn—either to cleanse away stagnant energy or to nourish yourself with warmth and inspiration. While the past few weeks have likely felt slow, this is a burst of energy, so be careful not to wear yourself out and run off to the races before you’ve warmed up. The South Node is here, too—perhaps you’ll get a burst of inspiration to pick up something you let cool off recently. Since Mars is the god of war and Jupiter is the great expander, are tensions being blown out of proportion, or have you suddenly found yourself on the front lines, needing to act?

By the 21st, Sagittarius season rolls around, which ushers in a month of freedom and exploration. Wisdom comes through vast and varied experiences—so what would widen your perspective? What could help you feel more open, or cause you to question an old point of view? A fun challenge: write down a bunch of activities, tasks, mini-adventures, things you want to try, etc., put them in a bowl, and pick one to do every day throughout Sagittarius season. The idea is that you’re pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, but you still remain in full view of something enticing. See what you learn about yourself from the exercise!

The month closes out with the Gemini full moon on the 24th. This full moon offers perspective, helping you see how the pieces of the puzzle all fit together and what roles they play. After you’ve been racking your brain about what it all means and how everything fits together, things tend to click and fall into place around this full moon every year. Often, the revelations during a Gemini full moon help you find the balance between looking ahead to the future and appreciating all the details of the current world around you. That said, things could feel a bit chaotic—there might be lots of change and stimuli, waking up your subconscious and weaving a thread between the head and the heart. Keep in mind: loose lips sink ships, so if you see any cracks in your vessel, tend to them sooner rather than later.

November is about slowly getting our bearings and working with everything we’ve come to realize over October’s many retrogrades. Use the following rising-sign horoscopes as a baseline for your reflection. Keep in mind this month is a slow burn, but by the end, we should all be off to the races.

Aries

This will be an incredibly transformative month for you. You will shed your skin and emerge as a new version of yourself. The phoenix is rising from the ashes, and you need to make sure you don’t rush the evolution. Really consider which facets of your life are dragging you down and which ones carry excess baggage that doesn’t support where you’re going in the long run.

Taurus

Taurus, November is a time for your boundaries to be reestablished. Whatever space you choose to hold for others matters most right now. While you are still learning and uncovering what you want and need from others, you should allow yourself to take connections to the next level when you feel called to do so. You need to balance a budding bond with a strong bond that supports you. What do you wish to receive from others this month, and how can you lead with that yourself?

Gemini

In this moment, you must lock in. You might have felt quite distracted and all over the place lately, but don’t worry—as the month progresses, you will home in on what you need to do to stay on track. Make sure you don’t get lost in others’ whispers and stay focused on what you are working toward. Expect lovely moments of clarity and inspiration that will help you honor your natural rhythm.

Cancer

Here’s your chance to find your light. Amid the darkness of daylight savings, a light flickers—but you have to dig deep and invest in yourself. What do you want, and what do you need to keep hope alive? Where do you find yourself having the most fun and truly enjoying everyday life? Your goal for November is to add bits of whimsy and excitement to your routine so you don’t lose sight of the playful nourishment needed to sustain life.

Leo

November will bring you a lot of inner work and personal development. As the month progresses, you’ll notice you’re coming back into yourself and allowing yourself to feel your emotions more fully. As you go inward, make sure you are still putting yourself out there. By the end of this month, you should find a space where your intuition can guide you to experiences that are both energizing and restorative.

Virgo

Expect your mental fog to clear this month. Much astrology has been swaying your perspective, and you’ve likely been questioning where you are and where you’re going. How much have you been sitting with yourself? Have you given yourself the chance to really dive deeper into the thoughts and ideas that’ve been growing within you? Take charge, look deep, and enjoy a slower, more reflective experience this month.

Libra

Libra, November will be a powerful month for you to stand on business. You’ll have many opportunities to refine your approach and put your priorities in order. These next few weeks will help add mental and material clarity to reaffirm what you’ve always known to be true about yourself. The key is not to sway or question what comes to you swiftly. The realizations and downloads will be important indicators of how to merge your intuition and your intellect.

Scorpio

It’s time to reconnect with yourself. The past few weeks have been a deep period of reflection, helping you understand who you are, what you value, and how you want to move through life. Your calling card this month is to take action when you need to and rest when you need to. Look inward for inspiration about where you’re heading, and as the path clears, take leaps of faith and race toward your future. You’re in charge; take control of what’s to come.

Sagittarius

November will lead you back to yourself by helping you leave the past behind. What are you still carrying that no longer serves you, and what would it look like to shed that part of yourself? By the end of the month, you should feel more deeply connected to yourself, emboldened to explore parts of yourself you haven’t yet studied. Take a chance on who you are now, and stress less about who you used to be.

Capricorn

Over the next 30 days, you’ll deepen your connection with yourself and the world around you. A lot has been happening in the shadows of your life, and now it is time to take action. What needs to be transformed or released to create a more honest, safe space for you and your loved ones? What desires have you kept hidden—and could being more open about them help you foster more intimate connections?

Aquarius

This is your month to look ahead and take action. What is your purpose? Where do you see yourself in the next few months? As you focus on where you are heading, think about who you want to take with you on this journey. Over the next few weeks, any confusion or distractions that have pulled you away from your destiny will slowly fade. Keep moving forward, and trust that your actions will be supported when you put yourself first.

Pisces

November is a dreamy sort of month for you, dear Pisces. You are looking toward the horizon and imagining what might be waiting for you. Make sure you appreciate where you are on your current journey before you put all your effort into what’s next. You can find magic and excitement in the everyday, so don’t let yourself become detached from the present moment. Have fun this month, and let what could be inspire you.

Twenty-twenty-six is a big year for those who like their art with a side of pop culture. Many of the world’s major museums and galleries are banking on big names for their first shows. Take Ghosts by Eliza Douglas at Gagosian, which celebrates the artist’s first solo New York exhibition with a body of work that nods to the iconography of advertising. In London, Tate Modern showcases stunning Tracey Emin work that And Just Like That... fans might recognize, while the V&A is going all in on Schiaparelli. Finally, the National Gallery of Iceland is celebrating Björk’s upcoming album with a three-work installation from the artist (plus an accompanying show from her frequent collaborator). Whether you’re fashion, music, or TV-minded, there’s something for you—and we’re still less than halfway through the ever-growing art calendar. More will come both in the U.S. and abroad, so if you’re planning some cultural stops for your next trip or just looking to see what’s on view in your neighborhood, consider this your all-encompassing guide to the can’t-miss art shows of the year.

Tiffany at Crystal Bridges

Crystal Bridges’ connection to its landscapes runs deep. It can even be felt in its Moshe Safdie designed architecture, which adopts the logic of the site, a crystal rich river with twists and turns and the accompanying unexpected vistas, into a museum composed of similarly awe-inspiring moments. Whether that is turning a corner to be greeted by the legs of Louise Bourgeois spider looming overhead and a trembling pond of mirrored balls by the late Yayoi Kusama among the willows or stepping inside a building only to find yourself in the midst of a lake of bobbing with Dale Chihuly unmistakable glass buoys.

One of the newest moments at Crystal Bridges is actually an old one, a monumental 1917 Tiffany window called the Mountain Landscape (Root Memorial Window), featuring a cascading water fall scene and lit from behind synthetically to mirror passing light of the sun. This masterwork, which the museum acquired last year and has quickly become a local favorite and a national pilgrimage site. It is the perfect complement to a much larger exploration of Louis Tiffany’s love affair with the great outdoors the museum is taking on this fall curated by Jen Padgett. The show, TKtitle, is a story so appropriate for an art space nestled inside a natural wonder that it feels to spring from the landscape itself.

The show extrapolates from both the Tiffany and Crystal Bridges archives to zoom in on the role nature plays in shaping a household American name, as muse and as raw material, running from native flora and fauna to the gemstones Tiffany pulled out of the ground across the country. George Paulding Farnham’s Tiger Orchid Brooch—gold and enamel set with diamonds, emeralds and pink sapphires—went to the Exposition Universelle in 1889 as a piece of American botanical showmanship, and still reads as one. Padgett pairs the jewels with the museum’s own holdings in ways that are sometimes botanical, sometimes purely formal, setting Farnham’s orchids near the flower paintings of Martin Johnson Heade and letting the hard geometry of Carmen Herrera stand in for the cut of a stone. Expect jewelry that looks real enough to die and beauty in abundance. —Kat Herriman

Arthur Jafa at the New Museum

Composed of found footage and scored to “Ultralight Beam,” the gospel-inflected opening track from Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo album, Arthur Jafa’s now canonical film Love Is the Message, the Message Is Death catapulted the already established cinematographer and filmmaker to the center of the art world when it debuted at Gavin Brown’s enterprise gallery in 2016. Audiences sat through the full seven-minute loop in stunned or sobbing silence, huddled around the enveloping screen like a flickering fireplace.

Love Is the Message, the Message Is Death carried Jafa around the globe, from one major institution to the next: the Hirshhorn in Washington D.C., the Serpentine in London, MOCA in Los Angeles, the Julia Stoschek foundation in Berlin. Then, in 2019, Jafa made his Venice Biennale debut with a new video work, perhaps the only one that could have toppled the last: The White Album, which earned him a Golden Lion and sealed his status as one of the most consequential voices of the past decade. It feels fitting that this fall, after ten years in the spotlight, the New Museum and its director Massimiliano Gioni revisit the not-so-distant past and put it all together again, as only a New Yorker who watched it all unfold could.

The show carries Jafa’s logic as a filmmaker into the gallery, subverting the museum’s white-cube identity and turning it into a maddening, black-box multiplex that unfurls across two floors. The movie-theater feeling is heightened by a landscape seemingly made of vinyl cutouts, posters, and larger-than-life wallpaper treatments that carry Jafa's imagery—much of it appropriated from pop-cultural phenomena and historical archives—into the material world as only massive dot matrices can. —K.H.

Hanna Hur at Greene Naftali

Hanna Hur’s Annunciation is a show in which one registers, perhaps for the first time, some of the most winning aspects of the space: the multi-paned windows and their mullions, the big gridded stone floor and its slices of compressed fossils, the skyline in layers as one looks out from a normal-ish height at skyscrapers and the city's latest neighborhood. Time scales and grids everywhere, piled high. Colliding. A type of beauty. Which Hur knows well.

The show was conceived for space. Every show the young New York-based painter makes takes its final site into account. This one takes on the shape of an Annunciation narrative, replete with virgins and angels. It is an elongated response by the artist to Antonello da Messina’s haunting 1475 Madonna. The subject is abstracted, for the most part, by Hur's signature process, which begins with acrylic paint thinned to the consistency of ink and pushed in rhythmic strokes on the floor with big brushes, and ends with obsessively penciling line after line of unfixed pigment in perfect interstices on top. If Hur makes a mistake anywhere in the process, she starts over. Under these high stakes, the paintings reach the viewer in near-machined perfection. This holy, rational line, repeated obsessively, takes on a mystical logic. Borrowing a strategy from 1960s minimalists, Hur toils under different auspices and stakes: an era when the AI hand is everywhere, and human perfection reads differently, where time reads differently. Hur's anachronistic way of arriving at new images is putting her in touch with angels and museums; that is, if acquisitions (MoMA) and full-room painting suites (the Hammer’s 2026 Made in LA) are a trustworthy barometer. —K.H.

Annunciation is on view from September 10 through October 31.

Raghav Babbar at Rajiv Menon Contemporary

Rajiv Menon Contemporary is hosting Raghav Babbar for his first-ever U.S. solo exhibition. Sangam will be on display across two cities: At the Rajiv Menon Contemporary gallery space in Los Angeles and at the gallery’s booth at The Armory Show in New York. Between those two exhibitions, guests will find entirely new work from the India-born, London-based artist. In 2025, Babbar attended Maha Kumbh, the Hindu pilgrimage in North India, which became the largest religious gathering ever recorded, with over 600 million people in attendance. Babbar, who is known for his intimate portraits, embraced the force of the crowd. There, he found a deep meditation on faith as a democratizing, humanizing force. Sangam is the result of that journey—a depiction of the pilgrimage and a consideration of the universal human experience.

The style of a European history painting is fitting in portraying this important event. Like the old masters, Babbar’s work boasts a muted, earthen palette, as well as a consideration of the light. It distills the Maha Kumbh into a single, charged moment. And though it’s a rendering of an enormous crowd, Babbar’s work celebrates the individual, the many stories, faces, and beings that make up the 600 million.

Sangam is on view from September 12 to October 24.

Sara Flores at White Cube New York

In the ancient geometric act of Kené, no pattern is ever repeated. The intricate designs are more than just that—they speak to a philosophical and spiritual perspective that intertwines shamanistic medicine, our relationship to nature, and healing through aesthetic balance. This is all a part of Shipibo-Konibo culture and tradition, an indigenous Peruvian people to which the 76 year-old artist Sara Flores belongs. Now, Flores is showing her masterful, large-scale Kené paintings and textiles for the first time at White Cube New York. The show, titled Akinananti—meaning a work made with love and joy—is Flores’s first solo exhibition in New York, coinciding with her representation of her country of Peru at the Venice Biennale (she’s also the first indigenous Peruvian to show in Venice).

The pieces are beautifully meditative and become all the more transfixing when you learn that Flores draws freehand, without preliminary sketches. She uses materials sourced from the Amazon—including botanicals, trees, leaves, and wild cotton—in the work, along with natural dyes to create neural, spiritual, and ecological networks. Her art is a form of a territorial resistance; Flores can only create with materials that are increasingly being decimated by loggers in the Peruvian Amazon. She is donating directly to fellow activists to fight for preservation. The work also continues the matriarchal tradition in which Kené is rooted—Flores’s daughters help her bring these pieces to life. —Ashley Simpson

Sara Flores, Akinananti is on view through August 14, 2026.

Adrián Villar Rojas at the Aspen Art Museum

Aspen Art Museum has announced its summer slate, which builds upon the conversations and themes of the second installment of AIR, the museum’s annual festival of contemporary art, performance, and ideas. Included in this lineup is an exhibition from Argentinian sculptor Adrián Villar Rojas. Titled First Gods, Lost Animals, the show evokes the geological and mythological formation of a cave, shaped through eons of material deposition and mineral consolidation. Layered on this accumulation is the cultural impact of human projections, rituals, and symbolic activity. For centuries, we have attempted to navigate this vast world with finite resources and First Gods, Lost Animals explores how humans confront the expansive universe, specifically using symbolic tools, including religion and gods, art, and mathematics.

The Aspen Art Museum co-commissioned a piece by Villar Rojas along with Audemars Piguet Contemporary, which will be on display as part of the exhibition. Untitled (from the series The Language of the Enemy) is a life-size triceratops skull. With this work, Villar Rojas explores the possibility of a prehistoric meeting between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, an assembly that illustrates the first examples of inter-species image-making. The piece challenges anthropocentric narratives that center Homosapiens as the fathers of symbolic creation. Now, there is evidence to suggest the Neanderthals engaged in such practices before us. With Untitled, Villar Rojas considers the transmission of ideas that could have resulted in the foundation of human culture.

Adrián Villar Rojas: First Gods, Lost Animals is on display at the Aspen Art Museum from July 2, 2026–April 11, 2027.

Yu Nishimura at Sadie Coles HQ

Up in the sun-speckled quietude of Sadie Coles’s 62 Kingly Street loft in London, Dislocation, Yu Nishimura’s second show with the cult-favorite gallerist, offers a sense of space not often available below the crowded streets of Soho. It is a welcome respite, composed of landscapes and paintings radiating with solitude. There are the ghostly stick figures for which Nishimura has long been known, yet here they appear dwarfed by the magnitude of nature.

The ones that feature urban sprawl bring to mind the cityscapes of Anita Steckel, where she pictures herself, giant, lying across the skyscrapers of Manhattan. The ones filled with trees recall the forests of Alex Katz and the jungles of Henri Rousseau.

The exhibition feels like the partner to Synopsis, Nishimura’s first show with Sadie Coles, which focused on urban scenes populated by bodies in motion and coincidentally sent the artist’s career flying. Now, two years later and a bona fide market darling, Nishimura returns in a more reflective mood. His figures, most of whom appear to be men, seem isolated, floating in a world bigger than themselves. Perhaps it is a reaction to Nishimura’s newfound fame, or a portrait of what it feels like now, in this overcrowded, overstimulated world, to be truly alone on a planet teeming with life. —K.H.

Yu Nishimura Synopsis is on view through August 22, 2026.

Paolo Roversi at the MOP Foundation

The MOP Foundation in A Coruña, Spain, believes there is no one like Paolo Roversi—a statement the museum is ready to prove with a new exhibition, Doubts. Described as an intimate journey through the Italian photographer’s artistic universe, Doubts is a celebration of Roversi’s enduring influence on the language of fashion photography. The title was Roversi’s choice. To him, doubt is “the door to creativity and imagination.” The idea of doubt is most closely linked to his work on Polaroid—a finicky format whose unpredictable nature requires the artist to truly relinquish control.

Doubts will unfold in a series of interconnected rooms, each representing a different aspect of Roversi’s aesthetic. Theater, Appearances, Shadows, People, Grace, and Beauty are among the themes to be explored in the exhibition. Experience them separately to truly appreciate the many layers of Roversi’s work, but consider them as one body of work illustrating the breadth of his mastery and the singularity of his vision.

Doubts is on display at The MOP Foundation from June 20 until September 2026.

Willem de Kooning at the Art Institute Chicago

Throughout his seven-decade-long career and in the quarter-century since his passing, Willem de Kooning has been the subject of dozens of solo exhibitions displaying his abstract expressionist paintings. The Art Institute of Chicago’s upcoming show for the Dutch American artist is different. Willem de Kooning Drawing—the artist’s first solo exhibition at the museum since 1969—is the first major show to examine de Kooning’s drawing practice. The show brings together over 200 works that reveal drawing’s integral place in de Kooning’s oeuvre. Pieces were gathered from across the world, with 25 works hailing from private collections and the Willem de Kooning Foundation, which have rarely, if ever, been shown publicly. Sketches on legal pads and those done with his eyes closed prove a spontaneity in de Kooning’s work. They’re displayed along with more known pieces by the artist—including Excavation and Woman I—and together encompass the impressive scope of de Kooning’s career. Even if you’ve seen his art one hundred times over, Drawing displays even the most popular pieces in a different light, allowing for a more well-rounded view of the artist’s production, as well as drawing’s influence on his work in other media.

Willem de Kooning Drawing is on display at the Art Institute Chicago through September 20, 2026.

Mickalene Thomas at the Shepherd

After two decades spent developing a highly influential, distinctive artistic practice centered on the depiction of Black womanhood, Mickalene Thomas has, for the first time, turned her creative eye toward Black masculinity. An entirely new body of work, Beneath the Moonlight, will be on display at the Shepherd in Detroit from June 6 through August 23, 2026, presented by Library Street Collective. The exhibition includes large-scale paintings, collages, and photography, as well as Thomas’s trademark staged settings. “The representation of masculinity spoke to me more, and using the Black male body as a vehicle, as a conduit to express those ideas that are resonant and paralleled to my concepts that I’m already working within with the female body,” Thomas said in a release. She worked with models beyond the gender binary to create her works, exploring themes of representation, stereotypes, and self-agency. She was inspired, in part, by the work of photographers like Quil Lemons and John Edmonds, who represent a new generation of artists grappling with themes of identity. To accompany the show, a catalog featuring original essays and interviews, designed by artist Bob Faust, will also be available for visitors to read. Beneath the Moonlight follows Thomas’s first major touring solo exhibition, All About Love, which debuted at The Broad in 2024.

Mickalene Thomas Beneath the Moonlight is on display at the Shepherd through August 23, 2026.

Eliza Douglas at Gagosian

Ghosts is filled with firsts. It is Eliza Douglas’s first solo exhibition in New York, her first at Gagosian, and the first in a new program at the gallery consisting of solo presentations by different artists curated by Francesco Bonami. “The unique and historic character of the Park Avenue and 75th Street location is an ideal space for a laboratory of fresh perspectives that will complement the gallery’s existing programming,” Bonami says of the series, which kicks off on May 12 with a display of Douglas’s “meta-paintings.”

The works in Ghosts borrow from the iconographies of advertising and popular culture, blending them with gestural abstraction. Through this practice, Douglas emphasizes art’s status as a consumable good. Those familiar with the artist’s work may recognize some of the pieces in Ghosts because they are reworkings of paintings she exhibited over the past decade at her gallery, Air de Paris. In this new show, she combines the existing compositions with selfies taken by her aunt, Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist who has long been reporting on UFOs and “otherworldly phenomena.” Douglas also pulls from a 2022 group exhibition at Gagosian London titled Haunted Realism, which explored the idea that the past continually haunts the present. Douglas has always toyed with the idea of hijacking, but Ghosts marks the first time she has incorporated such a practice into her production. The use of an existing body of work acknowledges the constant repackaging of cultural products. As theorist Mark Fisher says, “Those who can’t remember the past are condemned to have it resold to them forever.”

Ghosts is on view at Gagosian Park and 75th location through July 31.

Ad Hoc at Studio2M

Studio2M has opened in SoHo as a workshop and exhibition space—and for its inaugural exhibition, founder Abby Caulkins has asked French artist Marie Hazard and Portuguese designer Constança Entrudo to collaborate on a body of work. The result is Ad Hoc, an exhibition that provokes a dialogue between art and fashion while deconstructing the usual hierarchies found within both disciplines. Hazard provides tactile compositions with poetic narrative qualities and installations combining weaving, beading, and crochet. Similarly, Entrudo uses digitally layered textiles to explore the ideas of weaving as a language and the intersection of craft and technology. Together, they push the limits of traditional weaving practices, blurring the boundaries between fashion show and performance, and taking into consideration the connections between fabric, space, and the body.

Ad Hoc will be on view at Studio2M from May 7 to June 13.

Dancing the Revolution: From Dancehall to Reggaetón

Intrinsically tied with music and sound, dance and movement have always played an integral role in spaces of collective organizing for liberation across the globe. On view at MCA Chicago through September 20, 2026, Dancing the Revolution: From Dancehall to Reggaetón underscores the histories and lasting impact of dancehall and reggaetón across visual, political, and spiritual registers. The major exhibition looks at how these musical genres have expanded beyond their “grassroots origins” and now serve as major shapers of culture on a global scale.

Spanning painting, sound sculpture, installation, photography, and video, Dancing the Revolution features the work of over forty contemporary artists, including Isaac Julien, Edra Soto, and Alberta Whittle, to name a few. The works in the show meditate on the revolutionary power of dance, particularly within the realms of dancehall and reggaetón, and how the practice functions not only as a source of joy but also of resistance. From sexual liberation to political protest, Dancing the Revolution positions dance and music as pillars of Black Atlantic history and culture, in the Caribbean and beyond. —Daria Simone Harper

Hidden Treasures, 250 Years of Franco-American Luxury Stories at The Shed

Comité Colbert presents “the most exclusive exhibition on French luxury held in New York,” at The Shed from May 26 to 31. Hidden Treasures, 250 Years of Franco-American Luxury Stories brings together over 65 French luxury maisons and cultural institutions, along with their never-before-seen American archives. Together, these pieces illustrate two-and-a-half centuries of friendship between France and the United States, and the role luxury has played in that relationship.

Each luxury brand is represented by one singular artifact, and together, a story is told about two countries and their cultural dialogue. Hidden Treasures explores the diplomacy, identity, and popular culture shared across the Atlantic. Jewelry, hotels, fragrance, liquor, and more are all represented in the exhibition, which attempts to portray the universal language of beauty. Christofle tableware from the Normandie collection and a Louis Vuitton trunk represent the luxury of cross-Atlantic travel. A 1933 gown designed by Cristóbal Balenciaga and worn by American socialite Mona von Bismarck exemplifies the influence of French couture on American style. Pieces from Berluti, Hermès, Chanel, and more luxury brands add to the narrative. A Celine scarf printed with U.S. Mail iconography and a Christian Louboutin heel inspired by Cinderella’s glass slipper, meanwhile, proves that inspiration flows both ways.

Emmanuel Boos at Raisonné

French ceramist Emmanuel Boos is bringing his glazed porcelain practice to NYC with his first solo show in the United States. A “glaze consultant” for Hermès and the recipient of the “Special Mention” award at the 2024 Loewe Foundation Craft Prize, Boos has long boasted a transatlantic career. But this show, Noir C’est Noir, takes border-jumping to a new level. From April 9, Raisonné will host over 70 of Boos’s unique works, including coffee tables, side tables, stools, vases, and other objects. Together, these pieces illustrate Boos’s distinct style and exploration of fragile beauty and humorous practicality.

Boos’s porcelain practice allows him to embrace imperfection and welcome the unexpected, which he calls “happy accidents.” Also important to the process is Boos’s arrangement of his work within a space. There’s a modular aspect to this practice, with pieces grouped into various unfixed cohorts. This provides a reflection of the artist’s own nomadic life, and his closely held belief that meaning always exceeds function. “My practice of glaze does not aim for mastery nor domination,” the artist said in a statement. “I wish to slip into the glaze and develop a friendly relationship with chaos and eventually trust chance. It is emotion, sensuality, poetry.”

Dean Majd at the Camera Club of New York

In his debut solo show, Hard Feelings, Palestinian-American photographer Dean Majd chronicles a decade of brotherhood, grief, gore, and glory. As a young boy, the Queens, New York-born artist was often left alone, with only a camera in his hand to document his loved ones. But the sudden passing of a childhood friend in 2015 thrust him back into the nocturnal and hypermasculine graffiti and skate scenes, where the odyssey of Hard Feelings begins.

Driven by devastating loss and a desire to record truth, Majd captures deeply intimate portraits, demanding reflection and healing. In early imagery like geri on the hellgate bridge or bohemian rhapsody, risk and bliss alike appear in ritual and full force, from a young man undergoing a rite of passage, to friends sharing a hotel tub. The trust between Majd and his community is palpable, offering his sitters and viewers the opportunity to confront self-destruction head on. Brutality and tenderness unfolds as Majd’s community allows him to lens aftermaths of self-harm, abuse, and death. As both participant and observer, the artist’s visual language is unflinching and profoundly empathetic. Notably, Hard Feelings begins and ends with celebrations of life. —Ayesha Le Breton

Jonas Wood at Gagosian

The worlds of sporting and art combine in a series of works on display now at Gagosian’s Beverly Hills gallery. Over the past two decades, American artist Jonas Wood has turned prominent tennis matches into works of art, depicting these on-court battles in oil and acrylic paintings. The works are uniform in their vantage point, with each placing the viewer behind the baseline. Players and officials are nowhere to be seen, while spectators make an infrequent appearance in the form of abstract brushstrokes or dots.

Wood’s paintings blur the line between abstraction and Pop Art. A painted wood pattern surrounds Wimbledon with Wood Grain (2025), while the dotted audience of Mexican Open (2025) places the court in a star-filled galaxy. Homages to Roy Lichtenstein come in the form of works like Paris Olympics with Crying Girl (2025) and Dubai with Nude with Blue Hair (2026), where the late artist’s iconic Crying Girl (1963) and Nude with Blue Hair (1994) frame the courts. There is a standard followed with each painting: saturated colors, similar dimensions, and repeated elements. This uniformity allows the differences to come alive, making you ponder—and rethink—each piece.

Lorna Simpson at Punta della Dogana

Since her first solo show in New York in 1986, Lorna Simpson has explored concepts of race, gender, identity, and subjectivity, archiving Black lives and experiences in vivid, boundary-breaking form. She changed the language of photography, turning the media on itself as she framed Black women with their faces just out of view, text collaged on the images that hinted at and asked the viewer to question how the women were seen. In the decades since, Simpson brought her renowned conceptual experimentation to collage, film, sculpture, and—beginning at the 2015 Venice Biennale—painting. Now, the legendary artist is opening her first major European exhibition at Pinault Collection’s Punta della Dogana in partnership with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Third Person, running March 29 through November 22 at the Venice museum, features over 50 of Simpson’s paintings, spanning 20 years. There’s a special focus on the aforementioned large-scale works from Okwui Enwezor’s Biennale, never-before-seen offerings from Simpson’s personal archive, and new paintings made especially for this exhibition. —A.S.

Jessi Reaves at Arts and Letters

Ever since Arts and Letters NYC got a curatorial team (including Jenny Jaskey and curator Kristin Poor) two years ago, the uptown establishment has been increasingly showing up on downtown feeds. Rotated on the half year, a new suite of exhibitions has recently taken over Arts and Letters’s enviable rooms, including a mutation of Jessi Reaves’s first institutional solo show, which opened at the Walker Art Center earlier this year, and now has been reconstituted in a new configuration for Arts and Letters.

Cushions for tetris-like banquets welcome visitors into Art and Letters’s right wing; sitting atop these hand-painted perches, as you are encouraged to do, one can pivot in place and survey the show’s topography—namely, an archipelago of free-standing sculptures populated by a flock of reusable water bottles. Each water bottle bears a different paper cut-out of a bird, and these flightless creatures are like everything in Reaves’s world—a recombination. Reaves first made a name for herself in sculpture by dressing down modernist icons, Marcel Breuer seats and Le Corbusier lounges—until only their vulnerable essentials were left. Now more than a decade in, her attentions have turned elsewhere: to the empty promises of pure function and the transformative powers of accumulation. Here, a Nalgene bottle becomes a paper crane, a WPA mural becomes a bench, an art show in one city is something else entirely in a different location. By the time you’ve sat down, you’ve forgotten there is a painting underneath you. —K.H.

Carol Bove at the Guggenheim

For the next several months, tea will be served in the rotunda of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The occasion? Artist Carol Bove’s monumental new survey, which has taken on the Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece as a co-conspirator rather than an obstacle. Bove—whose work has long explored the juxtaposition of geometries, both found and made—draws out the patterns and repetitions embedded in the architect’s design. In doing so, she reveals that the museum’s famous circle is in fact composed of countless rings and discs, to which she adds several of her own in metal, fabric, and paint.

As you ascend the building’s signature spiral, you travel in reverse chronology through Bove’s career. You might notice you are also moving from dark to light; Bove has applied a black-to-white ombré that unfurls floor by floor. It is a minimal intervention with maximum impact. It all comes into focus the higher you climb—Bove has consistently, and gently, adjusted the essential forms we think we know so well. By doing so, she renews them, revealing truths that were hidden in plain sight. The most glaring and delightful example? A diamond-shaped cut Bove has made in a false wall, which reveals a Joan Miró work that hasn’t been seen for decades.

It is an exhibition that insists you slow down and unwind time. It warms you up for the act of steeping by creating the conditions conducive for it: ample seating and something to sip. —K.H.

Beginnings: The Story of Creation in the Middle Ages at The Getty Center

The Biblical narrative of creation is explored in a modern context in Beginnings: The Story of Creation in the Middle Ages. Paintings by American artist Harmonia Rosales are shown in dialogue with transcripts from the Getty’s collection, situating her work within the world of visual storytelling and placing her paintings in direct conversation with medieval representations of creation. Rosales has long been known to draw on artistic methods from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, combining them with African diasporic histories. She continues this practice with Beginnings by contributing a contemporary perspective shaped by West African spiritual traditions, adding to the ongoing conversation around creation. In addition to previous work, including Portrait of Eve (2021), Beginnings will feature a new piece, created in response to the significant illuminated manuscript, Stammheim Missal.

Beginnings: The Story of Creation in the Middle Ages is on view at the Getty Center in Los Angeles from January 27 to April 19.

Leonard Baby at Half Gallery

Leonard Baby’s new show may have a quirky title, but don’t be fooled. Resting Babyface features work from the New York-based artist, which he created during a period of profound sadness. As a result, the paintings on display encapsulate the essence of vulnerability and the complexities of personal experience. This is nothing new for Baby, who often draws on his past and emotions in his work, transforming trauma into acts of resilience and self-acceptance. In Resting Babyface, Baby turns the focus to two very vulnerable settings: the bedroom and a therapist’s office. With this new set of work, Baby explores themes of aftermath and introspection, using the paintings as personal confessionals meant to leave viewers in a state of discomfort and ambiguity.

Resting Babyface is on view at Villa Carlotta in Los Angeles from February 26 to March 11.

Say It Loud: AAMARP, 1977 to Now at ICA Boston

This February, the ICA Boston turns its attention to an artist-led institution that has shaped the fabric of New England’s art community since 1977. Founded by Dana C. Chandler Jr., the African American Master Artists-in-Residence Program (AAMARP) is one of the longest-running Black artist residency programs. Therefore, its story resonates not just on a local level but a national and international one. AAMARP’s influence can be felt far beyond Boston through its alumni network of artists, educators, and organizers. Conceived originally as a Black artist-led exhibition space, AAMARP evolved into a living ecosystem: part studio collective, part political area, and part cultural refuge, where new modes of working could take root even as institutional support shifted around it.

As the first exhibition devoted to AAMARP’s far-reaching legacy, it was essential for Mannion Family Curator Jeffrey De Blois to spend lots of time with members past and present. Developed in close dialogue with the founder Chandler before his passing in 2025, the show arrives less like a retrospective and more as a constellation of practices whose collective energy points outward. At the exhibition, the story of AAMARP’s community-driven approach is told through the work of five decades of participants. There are some folks you know. The rest are discoveries. Rather than closing a chapter, the exhibition feels like an opening gesture. —K.H.

Ming Smith: Jazz Requiem–Notations in Blue at the Portland Museum of Art

This new exhibition from photographer Ming Smith traces an artistic journey shaped by movement, experimentation, and freedom. The Detroit-born artist came of age at a time when Europe offered Black artists greater opportunity and receptivity. Smith’s travels abroad, specifically in the 1970s in Paris, proved formative; there, she encountered the evocative work of photographers like Brassaï and Henri Cartier-Bresson while developing a visual language of her own. This exhibition reflects on how those early experiences continue to inform Smith’s practice, highlighting photographs—many of which have been printed for the first time—that capture fleeting moments infused with rhythm, intuition, and motion. Smith’s work resists photography’s long-standing impulse to define, document, or objectify Black subjects. Rooted in the core principles of the Black Arts Movement, her photographs expand the medium beyond realism, often confronting and subverting the gaze itself. Her signature use of blur and abstraction is both poetic and political, mimicking the improvisational spirit of jazz while responding to the ways Black Americans are rendered simultaneously invisible and hypervisible. A pioneer for Black women in photography, Smith’s legacy lies in her innovation, her fearless experimentation, and her unwavering commitment to capturing the depth and richness of Black life. —Che Baez

Ming Smith: Jazz Requiem–Notations in Blue is on view at the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, Maine from February 6th to June 7th 2026.

Max Jahn at Gratin

For the German artist Max Jahn, frames are just as important as the imagery inside of them. As part of his practice, Jahn painstakingly chooses each border for his painted works from his father’s antique shop. They are personal to him—as personal as the colorful portraits he creates, which will be on view in the new show, Time Spent Looking. The exhibition features both portraiture (like Self With Fan, a painting in which Jahn is depicted coyly holding a floral accordion fan to his face) and still life. Jahn paints what he knows; his subjects often come from within his social circle. His relationships with them—and by extension, his depictions of them—are shaped by time and prolonged observation. He paints his sitters for an hour at a time over the course of a week, in varying lights for each session. But his work in self-portraiture arguably features his most familiar subject of all.

Hailing from Berlin and growing up in the aftermath of German reunification in the ’90s, Jahn was raised with the ghosts of a different era. He spent time at his father’s antique store on Motzstrasse, in the heart of the Schöneberg neighborhood, where painters and poets ruled before the Second World War. Otto Dix, the Dutch Masters he studied at school, Balthus, and more combine to create Jahn’s own signature style, now on display in his first solo show in New York.

Time Spent Looking runs from January 29 to Match 2026 at Gratin New York.

Samora Pinderhughes at MoMA

Multidisciplinary artist and composer Samora Pinderhughes centers his work on one urgent question: “What if we built a world around healing rather than punishment?” In Call and Response, a new exhibition at MoMA on view through February 15, 2026, Pinderhughes beckons audiences to ponder this inquiry alongside him. The show comprises two core components including a two-channel film created with Christian Padron, REAL TALK, which examines the impact of absence on families whose loved ones are incarcerated. It also features a series of performances and programming developed in collaboration with community organizations in New York City.

With Call and Response, Pinderhughes considers how narratives of criminalization are applied to groups of people to justify violence against them. “As a country, we’re willing to allow basically anything to happen if there’s this illusion that it will protect us from [who]ever is deemed criminal,” the artist said. The show is part of his stint as the 2025 Adobe Creative Resident at MoMA, and builds upon his work as a creator of The Healing Project, a community arts organization founded in the spirit of prison abolition. It also underscores Pinderhughes’s commitment to unearthing how art, particularly collective sonic practices, might contribute to collective healing and liberation. —D.H.

Sterling Ruby at Sprüth Magers New York

Sterling Ruby is an artist who, over the years, has become larger than life, a boldfaced name in both the art and fashion worlds. His work, moving across sculpture, textile, ceramics and video, explores themes of violence and the impacts of social norms while remaining autobiographical. His fashion line, S.R. Studio L.A.C.A., echoes his love of craft and feels very much due after years of lending inspiration for designers like his close friend Raf Simons. On January 30, the Los Angeles-based multihyphenate will present his first solo show in several years, running until March 28. Ruby’s new work, titled Atropa for the nightshade herb known for its deadly quality, is inspired by the duality of the deeply poisonous yet medicinal plant and the mythology that surrounds it. The Greeks associated the genus with the cutter of the thread of life. Ruby uses it as a launch pad for stirring watercolor collages, bronze flowers, and graphite pen-and-ink studies that switch between decay and vibrant bloom. As in all of Ruby’s work, material exploration is at the heart of the show. So are themes of mortality. An as usual, the exhibition is not to be missed. —A.S.

Catherine Opie at the National Portrait Gallery London

The American photographer Catherine Opie broke into art-world fame with portraiture of her early ’90s queer family, often friends from the Los Angeles S/M scene captured in the style of Baroque paintings. Early self-portraits, Self-Portrait/Cutting and Self-Potrait/Pervert display incredible tenderness, giving viewers the opportunity to lay down assumptions and connect with Opie’s community with equal depth. Over three decades later, the seminal artist will present the first major museum exhibition of her work in the U.K. at The National Portrait Gallery, from March 5 to May 31. Catherine Opie: To Be Seen will explore intimacy, home, and family—the personal and the political—through the photographer’s images of these communities, surfers, high school footballers, and more. Opie is directly involved in the curation of the show, which will speak in dialogue with the permanent collection of the museum. —A.S.

Marguerite Humeau at White Cube Gallery

The French multidisciplinary artist Marguerite Humeau is known for reimagining and creating extinct worlds. One extensive land art project saw mystics and scientists lending expertise as Humeau brought to life 84 sculptures that could survive the climate apocalypse on land deemed unfarmable. Another gave Cleopatra a reborn voice as she sang in the nine extinct languages she was recorded to know. Now, Humeau will open a solo show for the first time at White Cube’s New York gallery. Open from January 16 to February 21, the exhibition blends stalactite-like and bat-shaped sculptures with works on paper, all inspired by a trip to a bat cave in West Papua. As in the case of previous work, the cave is not just a cave, but rather a metaphor for the unknown and the unnamable. Pastel drawings mimic prehistoric cave drawings. Stalagmite and stalactite sculptures help us navigate our precarious environment. The pieces reference John Koenig’s The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows (2021): can Humeau’s sculptures give emotion to words we have yet to invent? Her new work certainly makes us feel. —A.S.

Björk at the National Gallery of Iceland

The public will experience a different side of the perennial musical enigma Björk when she returns to her native Iceland to stage a new art exhibition at the country’s National Gallery. Echolalia, as the show is called, is comprised of three immersive installations, the first of which will provide the public with a peek into the artist’s upcoming album. The two other works, Ancestress and Sorrowful Soil, both honor Björk’s mother, environmental activist Hildur Rúna Hauksdóttir, who passed away in 2018. While these pieces were originally released with Björk’s 2022 album, Fossora, their presentation at the museum will allow for a more theatrical experience. Ancestress, specifically, features a film set in a remote valley in Iceland where a ritualistic procession is taking place. Björk and her son, Sindri Eldon, star—with contributions from filmmaker Andrew Thomas Huang and James Merry, Björk’s co–creative director and the designer of the masks and ritual objects worn in the video.

Those especially interested in Merry’s work will have the opportunity to stop by his show, Metamorphlings, running simultaneously with Echolalia at the National Gallery. The first museum retrospective of Merry’s work, Metamorphlings features 80 pieces offering a look into his artistic output over the last decade. Heavily focused on the mask, the exhibition showcases Merry’s craftsmanship while exploring the piece as a catalyst for performance and transformation. Using embroidery, metalwork, 3-D printing, and jewelry, Merry has created masks for Tilda Swinton and Iris Van Herpen; they will be on display together for the first time.

Echolalia runs from May 30 to September 19, 2026, while Metamorphlings runs from May 30 to October 3, 2026.

Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art at the Victoria and Albert Museum

The V&A is staging a century-spanning exhibition on Schiaparelli, marking the first time the fashion house will be the sole subject of a museum show in the U.K. Opening March 28, Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art will trace the brand from its birth in the 1920s to the present day, exploring Elsa Schiaparelli, the woman, as well as her role as an innovator and key figure in interwar fashion. The exhibition will follow Schiaparelli around the world, from Paris to New York and London, with a focus on the latter—specifically, Schiaparelli’s British clients and the founder’s relationship with the city.

Over 200 objects will make up the exhibition, including archival garments, accessories, jewelry, paintings, photographs, sculpture, furniture, and perfumes. Some of Schiaparelli’s most unique designs—including the “Tears” dress and the famous upside-down shoe hat—will be on display, placed alongside art by her contemporaries like Pablo Picasso and Man Ray. The V&A worked with Schiaparelli and the fashion house’s current creative director, Daniel Roseberry, whose designs will also be featured.

Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art will run through November 8, 2026.

Tracey Emin at Tate Modern

Those who sit in small Venn diagram of And Just Like That... viewers and fine art lovers were likely horrified to see Tracey Emin’s seminal work imitated, and then tossed aside in the Sex and the City reboot’s final season. Luckily, Tate Modern is stepping in to provide Dame Emin with deserved credit, by mounting an expansive exhibition tracing four decades of the artist’s work—showcasing her most influential pieces alongside those that have never been exhibited until now. Through painting, video, textiles, neons, writing, sculpture, and installation, Emin has long challenged society’s view of the female body, as well as the line between public and personal. She did this most notably with her 1998 piece, My Bed, using the conversation that sparked around this controversial piece to further challenge the definition of art at the turn of the 21st century. At Tate Modern, My Bed and more work will be on display in a celebration of Emin’s raw and personal approach to artistic expression.

Tracey Emin runs at Tate Modern from February 27 to August 31, 2026.

Dan Flavin at David Zwirner

Dan Flavin’s grids take center stage for the first time at David Zwirner New York, in a new exhibition that explores the matrix-like vertical artist’s body of work, which first gained prominence in the mid 1970s. Like much of Flavin’s fluorescent lamp-based pieces, the grids simultaneously highlight and redefine every space in which they’re installed. This latest exhibition features Flavin’s first two grids: untitled (for Mary Ann and Hal with fondest regards) 1 and 2. Both created in 1976, they will be installed at Zwirner identically to their debut at the Otis Art Institute Gallery, Los Angeles, where they sat kitty-corner to one another in a single room. Other pieces, including four-foot creations like untitled (for you, Leo, in long respect and affection) 3 and 4, illustrate Flavin’s exploration of scale within the format. They are contrasted by untitled (in honor of Leo at the 30th anniversary of his gallery), which spans 24 feet. Flavin’s dedications within the work provide a second narrative to the exhibition, one that follows the many people who helped support the artist’s career. Former gallery director of the Otis Art Institute Gallery, Hal Glicksman (and his wife Mary Ann), plus his longtime New York dealer Leo Castelli are just some of the figures represented through this set of work.

Dan Flavin’s Grids will run from January 15 to February 21, 2026, at David Zwirner New York.

Gloria Klein at Anat Ebgi

Gloria Klein, a contemporary artist known for her bold, expressive work, is championed in a new lively exhibition of paintings, and her first solo show, at Anat Ebgi in New York. Featuring works from the late 1980s and early ’90s, the exhibition immerses viewers in Klein’s hypnotic, repeated diagonal hatch marks that stack and shimmer across the canvas. While her work nods to Minimalism and Conceptual art, it is joyfully rooted in the Pattern & Decoration movement and the feminist embrace of so-called “women’s work,” transforming repetition, ornament, and labor into something bold and eye-catching. Klein’s stitch-like marks echo the crowded streets of New York, visual noise, and the early digital pulses of the 1980s. Visually addictive and intellectually playful, Crisis Management is an irresistible invitation to step into Klein’s radiant world, and the feminist spirit that animates it, up close.

Gloria Klein: Crisis Management is on view at Anat Ebgi through February 28, 2026.

Elle Fanning means business as Effie Trinket. After kicking off The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping press tour last week in otherworldly ballerina garb courtesy of Robert Wun couture, her latest look was sharper, darker, and filled with vintage Easter eggs.

For a press day on October 30, Fanning ventured into a spookier realm of method dressing in a custom Gucci skirt suit by Demna. An intense emerald green was severely puncuated by angular, upturned shoulders. Complete with a bow-adorned chapeau and a gilded hairpin, the look had Effie extravagance with an exacting, Demna spin. It’s a far cry from her pastel-pink tutu, but it still stays true to her character.

In the original Hunger Games films, Effie Trinket (played by Elizabeth Banks) was often clad in Alexander McQueen, with influences that blended 18th-century opulence with 1930s and 1940s silhouettes. Satisfyingly, Fanning’s jewels honored Effie’s flair for period dressing, with a Cartier ring, bracelet, and brooch dating back to the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Most notable was the butterfly on her lapel, which paid homage to Banks’s iconic monarch look from the original franchise, and reportedly dates back to 1944.

In the upcoming prequel, Fanning plays a young Effie Trinket cutting her teeth as a stylist. Throughout the press tour, the actor has been giving her onscreen counterpart a new look with a series of buttoned-up skirt sets. Last week, she wore a similar silhouette with baroque embellishments from Canadian designer Evan Clayton. For another stop, she donned pastel pink Valentino separates, complete with structured fit-and-flare draping. But her latest look, posted the day before Halloween, is the most severe yet. We’re sure Effie Trinket would approve of the thematic October spin.

Some people spend months planning their Halloween costumes. But not Dua Lipa. According to her Instagram caption, the singer cobbled together her look five minutes before leaving the house and managed to serve two designer pulls in the process.

For most, a last-minute costume involves a panicked closet clean-out or a quick run to the store for cat ears. For Lipa’s vaguely vampiric look, however, she had all the right gothic garb on hand. For starters, her floor-grazing sheer dress came courtesy of French brand Lou de Bètoly. Adorned with baroque floral details and a structured bra, the gown is opulent, eerie, and unsurprisingly, something that was likely already hanging in her closet. To amp up the vampy vibes, she layered on a chunky black crucifix necklace. And in true Lipa form, this was no run-of-the-mill rosary. It was quickly identified by fashion fans as a piece from Tom Ford’s fall 2002 Gucci collection.

Lipa’s last minute Halloween plans appeared to be a dinner date with husband Callum Turner in New York City. His costume was similarly scrounged together, which is understandable. He’s been busy lately, with the Hollywood trades reporting he’s deep in the audition process to be the next James Bond. So he grabbed a freaky clown mask and wore it with a cream-colored crewneck. At one point, the pair posed with handcuffs binding them together—giving their last-minute, slightly random looks the couples’ costume treatment. It may not be Heidi Klum-level intricate, but it’s certainly festive.

What exactly was Lipa’s costume, you ask? It had traces of Morticia Addams glamour and Victorian vampire grandeur. But she left things largely up to interpretation, evoking a mysterious, darkly romantic It girl who only shops designer. So, basically, a horror-tinged take on Lipa herself.

Celebrities take Halloween very, very seriously. When else is it socially acceptable for an A-lister to dress up as another A-lister, a niche cartoon character, or—if you’re a Kardashian—another family member? Well, at least without the pressure of having to play them in a biopic.

Halloween 2026 is already shaping up to be elaborate. This year, October 31 falls on a Saturday, but that hasn’t stopped stars from celebrating early. As the party circuit kicks off and the looks start to roll in, W is keeping close track.

Mastery is a heavy word to place on a dial, yet Longines carries it with ease. This season marks a fresh chapter for the Swiss house that has crafted watches since 1832. The new Master line adds three-hand watches, moonphase chronographs, and a monopusher to its esteemed assortment of timepieces. The collection is available now at Bloomingdale’s.

The monopusher is the standout. For anyone whose watch lexicon is still taking shape, it’s a chronograph run from a single button in the crown. It comes in two 41-mm cases, with a pulsometer scale ringing the dial — a holdover from when doctors timed a pulse on the wrist. Turn the watch over, and the movement is at work behind sapphire. The Arabic numerals have a past of their own, borrowed from a 1928 Longines watch.

The latest campaign celebrates ease and elegance with ambassadors Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet, and Henry Cavill, a collective expression of timeless style that reflects the new Longines Master Collection timepieces.

“I’ve always had a resistance to looking in my own archive,” says the photographer David Sims. “It’s a very dark and forgotten place. And seeing it en masse, it just became clear that this person”—i.e., himself—“was in a state of mild psychosis.” In fact, studying the torrent of photographs he has taken since the late ’80s felt so unnerving to the 59-year-old that he decided to give the exhibition it has yielded the title “The Hamster Becomes the Problem.” “If you’ve ever owned a hamster, you’ll know that they keep chewing on the cage bars and running on the wheel,” Sims says. “Eventually this delightful, cute, furry animal becomes a torment.”

Sims might have found looking at his old work tormenting, but few of the visitors to the Marta Ortega Pérez Foundation, in A Coruña, Spain, are likely to. “The Hamster Becomes the Problem” seems set to reveal to a wider public what insiders have always known: that Sims is one of the best fashion photographers of all time. “He doesn’t just define a style—he builds a character,” says Fabien Baron, the creative director who gave Sims an exclusive contract at Harper’s Bazaar when the photographer was just 26. “He’s learned the craft so well that he can do anything. In his use of light, he’s the most impressive photographer—and I’ve worked with them all.”

Many of Sims’s photographs convey a feeling that we know the person being depicted, or someone very much like them, perhaps from school or from the fuzzy depths of a long-ago late night. “He created characters and stories that were immediately identifiable to lots of people growing up in the 1990s and 2000s,” says Charlotte Cotton, the exhibition’s curator. “In 1997, he said to me, ‘I want to create the visuals of our time.’ And he’s done that.”

Given the consistently high quality of his work, it seems strange that Sims hasn’t had a full solo exhibition or monograph before. In 2000, he published Isolated Heroes, a book of extraordinary portraits of models taken backstage at a Raf Simons show, which commands huge prices on the resale market today; and in 2013, a touching exhibition named “Bowievirus,” in which a group of skinny male models embodied the Thin White Duke, was shown at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. But Sims has disseminated most of his work specifically through magazines. Before the Internet existed, that was how he could reach people in places that weren’t cultural hot spots like London or New York—people like his younger self.

Sims grew up in Sheffield, in the north of England, though his family’s roots are in Liverpool. His father sold contraceptive pills to pharmacies (“I always used to say that he was a drug dealer”), and his mother was a secretary. His extended family were musical—he remembers them singing together on Sundays in the pub—while Sims was an avid reader of music magazines about cult figures such as Iggy Pop, his hero. For the photographer, music is still essential on a shoot to conjure up the character and image in his mind; for years, he even employed his own DJ for that purpose. “There has to be a moment when the right song comes on,” he says.

Sims, who admits that he was “opinionated and frustrated” as a teenager, was hugely unpopular with his teachers. The head of his high school art department wrote to a college to which Sims was applying, warning them that Sims was the worst student he’d come across in 30 years. “When I tell that story, it’s like I’m taking pleasure in it,” Sims says. “But it was devastating.” Things clicked when he was offered a job in a photographic darkroom in his hometown. “I thought almost immediately, I’ve got this. I know what I’m doing. It was the first thing I’d been asked to do that fell into place, and I ran with it.”

Entirely self-taught, Sims learned photographic and developing techniques—“trying to produce the perfect negative”—and immersed himself in the medium’s history, studying masters such as Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Robert Mapplethorpe, and the great war photographer Don McCullin. He moved to London, started working as an assistant to more experienced photographers, and quickly fell in with a fashionable crowd. “We were friendly with a few pop stars, so life was quite exciting,” Sims says. “I remember being ushered into clubs just because we were with Boy George.”

Yet, by the late ’80s, Sims was getting antsy. While he initially enjoyed the acid house scene, “that rave high suddenly felt way too chicken feed to me.” He thought that London’s excitement “had dipped a little bit—there was a resurgence of a more conventional middle-class influence in magazines. I thought, God, we’ve got to take back our ground here.” He found allies and collaborators in two like-minded stylists, Melanie Ward and Anna Cockburn, who had a similar iconoclastic urge to bring a new sense of realism to fashion imagery.

Baron remembers first seeing Sims’s early work when he was judging a photography competition in Monaco: “a bunch of pictures of guys and girls against a white background. Avedon-esque, but the spirit was more youth-based, punkish. There was an English flavor. They were in your face, but they had soul.” Magazines such as i-D and The Face started giving Sims work. “I had an Australian girlfriend, so I went to Australia for a month, which seemed an eternity at the time,” he says. “And when I came back, some pictures had come out and people were suddenly very interested.”

Sims was whisked to New York, where Baron and Harper’s Bazaar editor Liz Tilberis signed him, despite what Baron remembers as his grungy “yellow hair.” He started photographing supermodels and shooting major ad campaigns—“sucking on the corporate tit,” as Sims puts it today. “The thing that New York had that London didn’t was mounds of money. It was my first experience with that resource and what comes with it.”

It’s a mark of Sims’s independence that his work for big brands and big magazines was just as idiosyncratic as the pictures he’d made for himself. Pushed by Baron to photograph Linda Evangelista for Bazaar, Sims came back with a magnificently weird shot of her wolf-whistling. “He showed how you could maintain your integrity through these tiny little gestures,” says Cotton. More editorial and commercial work followed, with clients including Jil Sander and Helmut Lang—an image from a 1997 campaign for the latter brand, of a husky, topless young man wearing a cape, subverted both masculinity and fashion advertising conventions, and is now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, in London.

Nonetheless, Sims was burning out. “I’d driven my friendships too hard and exhausted them,” he says. When Jil Sander didn’t renew his contract, he decided to take a break, which lasted roughly three years—some of that period spent traveling with the barman of a pub in Devon, England, that Sims had visited while camping on a nearby beach. When he returned, fashion photography had moved from film to digital, and Sims was forced to follow suit. “I was horrified when it first happened,” he says. “I felt completely disoriented by it.” But he decided to experiment with the new medium, “to see the things that lay deep within it, and that’s when the psychedelic thing kicked in.”

As “The Hamster Becomes the Problem” will show, Sims’s 21st-century work often has a narcotic, dreamlike quality. Jagi is a 2019 image of someone standing at the top of what looks like the steps of a playground slide in a dramatically hued field, against a sky full of Turner-esque clouds. There will be an installation that focuses on his cousin Lee Armitage, a Liverpool-based painter with whom Sims has “a degree of fascination…we’ve led these sort of quantum parallel lives.” In one image, Armitage is topless, with closed eyes and an open mouth, which is colored bright pink, denoting some kind of ecstatic experience. Another room, Rave, contains hundreds of pictures and, Cotton says, is like “a fever dream.”

Sims’s work often digs into his memories of his childhood in the postindustrial north of England—barbed-wire fences, tower blocks, violently patterned wallpaper in council flats, people smoking dope while listening to Pink Floyd. He is still creating characters, but now he’s using his impeccable photographic techniques to venture deep into their inner spaces. “He’s not dialing it in, in any way,” Cotton says. “Helmut Newton, or any of those libidinously driven photographers, they go back to the same place every time they take a picture, like they’re pressing repeat. David doesn’t. It’s like you’re following a journey of a life.”

Sims says that his ultimate inspiration is his unconscious, and he hopes that his symbolism, though intensely personal, might nevertheless resonate with viewers. “I was looking at the archive and wondering, What the hell was I even thinking?” Sims says. “It’s a chimera—something you’ll never quite get to. You’re building a structure that will hold the illusion of your fantasy. Really, this show could have been called ‘Castles in the Air.’ ”

Every month, an array of new beauty launches arrives, each one promising transformation, radiance, and the occasional miracle. Here at W, we are meticulous in our evaluation. We test, observe, and weigh what is truly worth your time and money. We’re also not afraid to be ruthless—trends don’t impress us, results do. Price is no measure of merit; the standouts may be outrageously luxurious or brilliant in their own way, but each one earns its place. What remains is intentional, and worth your attention. This is your guide to the few products that truly deliver.

In 2026, W will publish a monthly roundup of the best beauty products that launched recently—genuine game-changers you should consider purchasing. Whether you’re a skincare connoisseur, an avid makeup collector (slash borderline hoarder) or you’re simply browsing for something fresh to add to your beauty regimen, here are our new favorites, which we recommend incorporating into your repertoire.

SK-II Facial Treatment Serum

This is easily one of the best skincare launches of the year, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you absolutely should. Powered by SK-II’s signature ferment-driven technology, the serum brings dull skin back to life with a brighter, more vibrant look. And at $139, the price is a welcome surprise in a category full of outrageously expensive contenders.

Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo Holiday Gift 2026 Edition

For those festive evenings when makeup calls for a little more, we love this Rouge Dior lip duo. The finish here has a lovely, almost vintage luminosity, and the formula feels hydrating. We particularly love the shade Biscuit for its glam factor.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Rouge Victoria Matte Lipstick

Few things make an entrance quite like a red lip, and the Rouge Victoria Matte Lipstick launches are a particularly good reason to wear one. This is a debut of six new velvety, demi-matte, red-to-plum formulas that glide onto your pout. Opt for a rich, saturated color or blot the whole thing out for a softer effect. We loved the Coquelicot Red—it might be a perfect rouge if there ever was one.

Nocturnal Spring Awakening Japanese Enzyme Cleansing Powder

This is our kind of beauty-sleep prep. We love how this cleanser seamlessly clears away dull buildup and excess oil with natural enzymes and one of the most time-honored, natural actives: Japanese rice powder. Our skin was left soft, clean, and refreshed—no tight, stripped feel either.

Omi IFP-131 Hair Growth Peptides

OMI has released a new IFP-131 Hair Growth Peptide that promises thicker, stronger hair in 90 days. The capsules contain peptides that signal to your body to increase hair growth, and at a faster rate. This pill is 100 percent drug and hormone-free, as well as biotin-free; it works on every hair type and is easy on the stomach. We are still in the midst of testing the 90-day window, but we are seeing a slight difference in hair fullness at around the one-month mark. So far, so good—and we appreciate that this treatment isn’t disruptive to our existing supplement routine.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Genesis Rich Pigment Eyeshadow Palette

Here’s a versatile makeup essential for creating a range of looks that’ll be deeply striking. With gorgeous mattes and shimmers in rich, flattering neutrals, you will use this palette every day. You can easily create a sultry smoky eye for fall, too—whether you blend it out or go all in for a bolder look.

MAC Frost Lipstick

MAC’s new line of cool, festive frost lipsticks is beautiful and tons of fun to wear. We particularly loved the shade Spanish Fly, a gorgeous, autumn-ready color that catches the light beautifully.

Elta MD Skin Recovery Serum

If microneedling or laser treatments are part of your beauty routine, what you put on your skin afterward matters just as much. Elta MD’s new four-part Skin Recovery protocol pairs amino acid restore complex with EGF tripeptide technology to support skin repair. This does an excellent job reducing redness while boosting your skin’s hydration. The Rapid Recovery Serum is available exclusively through participating skin health professionals—visit EltaMD.com to find a provider near you.

Point of View. Trace It Lip Liner

Here’s a smart addition to any makeup bag, with flattering colors you’ll actually wear, plus staying power to match. The clever part is the liquid-like pen that lets you line your lips (and fill them in, too!). It goes on wet, then dries quickly, leaving lips feeling comfortable rather than parched.

Highbrow Hippie Nutripeptide Strengthening Essence

Light but mighty, this weightless mist detangles, hydrates, and repairs from scalp to strand while protecting against heat and UV damage. Nutripeptides, squalane, and plant-based antioxidants support stronger strands and vibrant, longer-lasting color.

The Issey Miyake breastplate is one of fashion history’s most provocative pieces, but Irina Shayk put a downright angelic spin on it on Thursday night. Walking the blue carpet at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, the supermodel stepped out in a version that was absolutely ethereal.

Featured as the opening look on the fall 2026 runway, the ivory dress takes a classic column silhouette to sculptural extremes. While the skirt is minimal and precise, the molded bodice is a work of abstract art, with rounded edges and a smooth finish. At the back, excess white fabric cascaded down the sides of Shayk’s body, reimagining the breastplate through delicate draping.

Introduced as part of the fall 1980 collection, the first Issey Miyake breastplate toyed with the relationship between clothing and the body. The original design was decidedly sexy and found a quick fan in the always provocative Grace Jones. Shayk’s version, by new creative director Satoshi Kondo, is less structured and more abstract. It’s also softer: trading molded acrylic for lacquered layers of Japanese washi paper. It’s dainty and smooth instead of rigid and armor-like.

Breastplates have been a red-carpet favorite in recent years, and 2026 was no different. They can serve a narrative purpose, from Zendaya’s Greek goddess–worthy Schiaparelli look for The Odyssey premiere to Teyana Taylor’s many shield-like iterations while promoting One Battle After Another. For red-carpet provocateurs, they create an instant statement, which explains why nearly every Kar-Jenner at the Met Gala wore some version of the structured bodice.

But while those examples often feel severe, Shayk’s recent take on the trend is soft, dreamy, and entirely otherworldly. Just like that, the breastplate has entered a new, dressed-down era.

Rachel Zegler can handle the truth. On Thursday, the star attended the Broadway revival of Aaron Sorkin’s suspenseful courtroom story, A Few Good Men. Her opening-night outfit, appropriately, was a bra-forward skirt suit that delivered its own kind of drama.

Supporting the Broadway debut of Hunger Games costar and longtime friend Tom Blyth, Zegler dressed for the occasion in static gray separates from Mark Gong’s spring 2025 collection. The knee-length pencil skirt was adorned with silver floral embellishments, while the structured jacket was left open to reveal a twisted bra. She amped up the glam with John Hardy surf link earrings. The resulting aesthetic put a subversive spin on classic corporate dressing.

This marks the first revival of Sorkin’s story since its Broadway debut in 1989 and subsequent film adaptation in 1992. For the 2026 stage production, Blyth stars as Lt. Daniel Kaffee, the character played by Tom Cruise in the movie. They are big shoes to fill, to be sure. But Blyth’s performance has already been met with praise, including from Zegler herself, who gushed over her friend’s performance on Instagram, saying she “couldn’t be prouder of my sweet.”

The pair became close while filming 2023’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Since then, they’ve supported each other’s acting milestones, with Blyth attending Zegler’s Broadway debut as Juliet in Romeo + Juliet in 2024. Next year, Zegler will make her return to the stage as Eva Perón in the Broadway transfer of Evita. We know who will be sitting in the front row.

Last night, Dua Lipa stepped onto the red carpet at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards in an ensemble from Chanel’s fall 2026 couture collection that subverted the traditional tweed put-togetherness of the classic Chanel suit. While the silhouette stayed true to form, the set’s textured embellishments appeared to be almost melting off.

Thin pieces of fabric hung from the ivory skirt, while the contrasting black cuffs and collar were bursting with threads. Instead of a structured chapeau, her hat appeared to be constructed from frayed straw, with errant scraps hanging from the headpiece. Styled by Lorenzo Posocco, her Bulgari diamond earrings and spiral Serpenti Viper ring amped up the high-shine polish, while her string-of-pearls anklet further reinvented tradition.

It’s exactly the kind of double-take storytelling that artistic director Matthieu Blazy imbued into his fall 2026 couture collection, which played with the notion of warped fairytales. Featuring overgrown “poisoned” vines and silk that echoed magic beans, Blazy took Coco Chanel’s house codes and reimagined them with intricate textures and unconventional embroidery. Lipa’s look evoked a deconstructed straw woman—with the lopsided chapeau nearly covering the model’s eyes.

All in all, the outfit was an apt choice for Lipa last night. The singer took the stage at the annual awards show to present Blazy with the Fashion Innovator award, which recognizes his strong directional vision for the brand. In all its otherworldliness, Lipa’s hat-forward Chanel ensemble still felt true to her personal tastes. Just earlier this year, at her wedding, she kickstarted the return of the bridal chapeau in a custom Stephen Jones hat that stretched out dramatically past her shoulders. It’s nice to see the singer continuing her streak of statement headpieces—in Chanel couture, no less.

Oftentimes, when booking a visit at a storied hotel, one has to make a trade-off: history for polish. If you want to stay in rooms previously occupied by world leaders and mega stars of yore, you need to put up with scuffed wood, worn carpets, and rickety bed frames. Not so at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni. Located in the picturesque town of Bellagio, and often referred to as “The Pearl of Lake Como,” the hotel strikes a beautiful balance, honoring the charm of its 176-year history while maintaining the necessary upkeep to make it worth the trip in the 21st century.

Serbelloni’s history began in 1850, when the head of the prominent northern Italian Frizzoni family started to have a villa built for his wife; construction was completed four years later, and the Frizzonis resided in the villa until 1873. At that point, the building changed hands a few times, from a Swiss-German entrepreneur who converted it into a hotel, then to Swiss businessman Arturo Bucher. Since his purchase in 1918, Bucher’s family has continued to enjoy sole ownership of the property, with his offspring still involved in day-to-day operations, four generations later.

So many iconic names of every era have stayed in the hotel over the course of its vast history. It was a favorite of politicians like Sir Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy, was often visited by members of the Rothschild family, and beloved by actors from Clark Gable to Al Pacino. Some suites in the hotel boast the names of the famous guests who especially favored those rooms, like the JFK suite, which also features a piano once played by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt. There’s also the Helmut Newton suite, the Churchill suite, and the Queen of Sweden suite, a favorite of Monica Bellucci’s and Vincent Cassel’s during their marriage.

The hotel has the benefit of closing down between November and March during Lake Como’s off-season, providing five months for renovations and updates. This allows Serbelloni to remain in immaculate shape—but the Buchers are adamant about maintaining the original appeal of the hotel throughout any restorative project. They fill every room with authentic époque furniture and preserve crown moldings plus other antique details. Even the duvets used in each of the hotel’s 94 rooms are crafted based on designs from the 19th century, hand-stitched in silk from Lake Como.

If you can drag yourself out of your room and descend the marble staircase you’ll arrive in the heart of Bellagio. The town unfolds in a maze of sweeping staircases that twist and turn, providing surprises at each corner. After a day of walking around the nearby Villa Melzi Gardens, shopping in town, or playing tennis at Serbelloni’s private court, you’ll probably work up an appetite. Wind down in the hammam at the hotel’s new Luce del Lago spa. Then start off the night with a drink at the old-school Verri’s Bar (or smoke a cigar in the back room). From there, one can enjoy the Michelin Guide–recognized Mistral with views of the lake and a menu created by executive chef Ettore Bocchia, the pioneer of Italian molecular gastronomy.

Serbelloni is an ornate oasis tucked in the hills of one of the most picturesque landscapes in the world, and just an hour outside Milan, it makes for the perfect getaway post-fashion week, or a stop to unwind following a trip through Northern Italy. While the hotel will soon close its doors for the 2026 season, it will reopen in late March, refreshed and ready for another round of iconic guests.

The spring 2027 runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris proved one thing: that it’s safe to say quiet luxury has left the chat. In its wake, maximalism bursts onto the scene, amid a flurry of fur, feathers, paillettes, and glittering beads. There were tons of fabulous trends from the collections hewed by such designers as Matthieu Blazy for Chanel, Jonathan Anderson at Dior, and Michael Rider’s Celine. Below, we’re highlighting the 12 ready-to-wear fashion trends that caught our eye this season.

Aloha Attire

Say hello to the new Hawaiian shirt. The fact that Loro Piana, one of the key brands to helm the stealth-wealth style movement, created a take on an aloha button-down means this trend has staying power. There were cheeky nautical takes of all forms on the runways, including Miu Miu’s rash-guard tops layered with bejeweled bras and sporty mini-shorts. At Loewe, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez designed beaded dresses inspired by the way one drapes themselves in a towel after going for a swim.

’70s Beach Vibes

Every season, we see a different take on decade dressing. There were a number of riffs on ’70s styles, but our favorites were the ones that reflected the aesthetic of Southern California—more specifically, Venice Beach. Let’s call it elevated bohemian: at The Row, a pair of perfectly cut slouchy slacks was paired with an intricate sequin fringed antique fabric that was draped over the model as a top. In contrast, there was also August Barron’s lovable bungalow bro. And we adored the bright-sunshine dress at Celine, which was paired with exaggerated glasses and a monogram bag.

Itty-Bitty Titty Committee

The girls are wearing bras as shirts now, and it’s official. We went from the no-pants trend of the last couple of seasons to this new take: the no-top trend. Bras were everywhere, in every form—as daywear, and eveningwear, in all shapes and textiles, including satin, metal, and embellished.

Long Live Dolly!

We lost a true original this year: Dolly Parton, whose music and idiosyncratic signature look inspired designers for decades. For spring 2027, it was clear some looks on the runways were made specifically with Ms. Dollywood in mind. You could practically picture Parton on stage singing “I Will Always Love You” in Schiaparelli’s glamorous pink satin suit with jeweled buttons.

The Plastics

From glossy finishes to sculptural silhouettes, plastic is having its moment in the spotlight on the spring 2027 runways. Prada surprised audiences with a collection where every look was a variation on a skirt, including one crafted from a technical pink fabric. Chloé reimagined the classic trench with a rigid plastic overlay, while Maison Margiela’s own plastic skirt resembled a floral apron.

Let’s Get Loud

For spring 2027, subtlety is out and clashing prints are very much in. Florals ran headfirst into plaids at Polo, while Chanel’s Matthieu Blazy created a masterwork in patterns from head to toe. And your favorite art teacher appears to have had a nervous breakdown—albeit a pretty chic one—at Prada and Jil Sander.

Baroque Beading

While we’re on the topic of more-is-more, ornate beading made a major statement in this season’s collections, both on ready-to-wear fashion and accessories. Chanel made a play on its own classic with a yellow two-piece set done entirely in beads, while The Row worked black beading onto a flowing blue top. Loewe took things into three dimensions with beaded florals that seemed to bloom right off the dress.

The Gilded Age

Consider this trend the cousin of the one before it, especially when it comes to the ultra-luxe feel of each look. Saint Laurent delivered what felt like an entire collection of gold outfits, including the one shown here, which combined both gilding and brocade. At Gucci, the outfit was styled with a pussy-bow blouse and major sunglasses.

Admission of Kilt

This season, designers put skirts under the microscope in a major way, remixing the garment into as many variations as there are women who wear them. First up was Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons at Prada, who devoted their entire spring 2027 collection to skirts: knee-length, mini, A-line, pleated, embroidered, and everything in between.

Check, Mate

It seemed like every kind of plaid walked the spring 2027 runways: houndstooth, plain check, you name it. Duran Lantink transformed a classic picnic blanket print into an ’80s-esque blazer and skirt set for Jean Paul Gaultier, while Marni kept things in a ’60s kind of mood. Nicklas Skovgaard’s fierce checked skirtsuit had a furry friend on its right shoulder.

365 Party Girl

Designers imagined the full spectrum of a true 365 party girl’s perfect night out. Picture the scene: you arrive to a rager in a glamorous outfit, then start to get a little sweaty on the dance floor. Perhaps your dress is rumpled or your hair’s gotten caught in a stray streamer. Hours go by. What happened? Once daylight breaks, you find yourself heading back home in last night’s clothing.

A Hot Mess

If you’re currently having a 365 party girl-worthy hangover, don’t worry. Unplug your steamer and feel confident shoving that T-shirt to the bottom of your dresser drawer, because wrinkles are so in. Don’t even think about buttoning a sweater all the way, or fully fastening a belt! You think you need a tailor? Absolutely not. Let your seams be undone.

Gabrielle Union began her Hollywood career with a girl-next-door fashion sense in the late 1990s and early aughts. She broke onto the scene in sitcoms like Moesha and Sister, Sister before taking her star turn in the cheerleading comedy Bring It On. Since then, she’s grown into a full-fledged style chameleon, willing to try out new colors, shapes, materials, and textures at every red carpet event.

Although Union has historically taken a liking to white and black column gowns, she can also work ultra-bright palettes, rhinestone-studded sheer gowns, and sculptural silhouettes. Below, we’re taking a look back at her most impactful and boundary-pushing red carpet looks—many of which were unveiled with her husband Dwyane Wade at her side.

Rihanna’s secret to day-to-night dressing? A monochrome palette, a dash of utilitarian tailoring, and an assortment of sleek accessories. In Los Angeles yesterday, the superstar sported a satisfyingly slouchy look that took her from errands at CVS to fine-dining in Santa Monica.

The autumnal ensemble was made up of earthy hues, featuring a mossy drop-shoulder sweater and baggy tan denim trousers that nearly covered her feet. Her accessories grounded the look, with her wearing what appeared to be Phoebe Philo sunglasses and polished Prada loafers. During the day, it was a functional mom-duty outfit for Halloween shopping at CVS with her sons, Riot and RZA. But at night, it doubled as a chic after-hours look for dinner at hotspot Giorgio Baldi. Yes, even the sunglasses stayed on. Herein lies the art of an outfit that does it all.

At this point, the Fenty Beauty founder is the definitive expert in the art of color-coordinated dressing. This summer, her street-style outings were marked by monochromatic statements, from the seafoam satin set she wore to take RZA to the dentist to the orange velour Chloé tracksuit she sported for a night out with friends. After summertime appearances in New York City followed by a busy Fashion Week in Paris, the 38-year-old mom of three is kicking off fall with her family at their home base in Los Angeles. Still, she stays booked and busy, most recently appeareing at a Fenty Beauty event for her new Fluid Flex Foundation. Rihanna’s schedule is always stacked, but at least she has unlocked the perfect on-the-go uniform.

Last night, Hollywood royalty gathered at the inaugural Airbnb.org Gala in Los Angeles. While that sentence may seem like a disorienting string of words, it was an undeniably star-studded affair filled with serious designer looks. Charli xcx, for one, wore vintage Roberto Cavalli.

The Music, Fashion, Film singer stepped onto the beige carpet at Milk Studios in a dress from Cavalli’s fall 2005 collection that oozed her singular hard-edged intensity. Styled by Chris Horan, her mossy jewel-toned gown was more reptilian chic than Brat green, featuring intricate ruching throughout and adorned with black floral appliqués. For extra drama, the front had a sweeping slit lined with gothic feathers. The dress was fabulous and fitting for a high-profile fête, which only added a layer of mystery to the home-rental app’s event.

What exactly is the Airbnb-sponsored affair, you ask? The charity event—officially called the Airbnb.org Gala—raises funds for Airbnb.org, a nonprofit founded by Airbnb. The organization offers free emergency housing to people who have lost their homes due to natural disasters, illness, or other crises. For its first-ever gala, the platform drew quite the crowd. Adéla came in Saint Laurent, Greta Lee donned fresh-off-the-runway Lii, and Charlize Theron wore Givenchy by Sarah Burton.

Charli xcx’s rare vintage pull, however, may have been the most impressive. It should come as no surprise, as the singer has been on a fashion kick lately thanks to her sold-out Music, Fashion, Film Tour. She just wrapped the North American leg, and she’ll pick performing back up for a string of U.K. shows in February, but not before attending the Grammys. The British star is actively campaigning for her alt-rock album to win Album of the Year, among other nods, at the 2027 awards show. With concert performances on a brief pause, serving an It girl–worthy look can only help her campaign. The inaugural Airbnb.org Gala proved to be the perfect place to do so.

No accessory is too immense for Rosalía. For a casual stroll in New York City on Thursday, the fashion risk-taker may have outdone herself with a bag nearly as big as she is.

The colossal purse, which would surely be hazardous to anyone passing by, is a custom creation by independent designer Dana Toder in collaboration with filmmaker Lili Conzen. Made of chocolate-brown leather, it’s printed with stills from Conzen’s upcoming short film Krähe, featuring vintage cars, sunsets, and outdoor table scapes. The singer upped the ensemble’s theatrics by pairing the purse with Junko Shimada pointe stilettos that had see-through trompe l’oeil heels. Over three feet long, the bag appears almost to weigh Rosalía down. But if anyone is an expert in the art of outré adornments, it’s her.

The Lux singer has long been drawn to accessories that play with proportion, from her supersized boots to her shrunken-down feather top. With her most recent look, she’s the latest in a procession of It girls cosigning the ludicrously capacious bag (see Dua Lipa’s gargantuan Chanel basket tote this summer). With its cinematic references, however, Rosalía’s bag is imbued with a layer of multi-media storytelling.

Along with a drawing from Conzen’s short film, Toder told Dazed the design was also partially inspired by “What’s in my bag?” show-and-tell videos on social media. The trend has been around since practically the dawn of YouTube and has taken on a satirical tone in recent years, spoofed most virally by Hailey Bieber, who pulled an Erewhon smoothie from her purse in a 2025 video for Vogue. It’s thus a fitting choice for Rosalía, who bakes a cheeky subversion into her ballet-inspired looks, whether through kinky latex or punk studding. Here, anchored by an XL shoulder bag and hard-edged ballet slippers, she once again earns her title as a street-style experimenter extraordinaire.

It is the season of the witch, which makes it the perfect time for photographer Harley Weir and designer Dilara Findikoglu to release Witch, a photo book that brings together powerful women and real witches in an exploration of the relationship between femininity, nature, spirituality, and rebellion.

“This zine is a celebration of women: the complicated, the powerful, the unruly, the tender, the strange, and the unapologetic,” Weir said in a statement.

In order to complete the project, Weir and Findikoglu traveled to eight cities and villages across Romania in just five days. This endeavor into Eastern Europe “felt strangely familiar” to Findikoglu, who is Turkish. “There was something beautiful about the land and its people, and a sense that the ancient knowledge and traditions we had come to explore were still very much alive,” she said.

At each stop, the photographer and designer found themselves in discussion with a variety of women, both real witches and those who use their sense of self and feminine power for good. The result is a book of photographs and interviews that tells a generational story of the evolution of witchcraft and womanhood today.

“For centuries, the witch has been used as a symbol of evil,” Weir said. “But maybe she was never scary because she was evil, maybe she was scary because she was free. Across history, women who were outspoken, independent, sexual, knowledgeable, or simply unwilling to conform have been treated as dangerous. The witch became a name for the woman who could not, or would not, be controlled.”

The historical misinterpretation of witchcraft sits at the center of the book. Witch attempts to reclaim the narrative, shifting the perspective on women who challenge social expectations. At the forefront of this group is real-life witch Mihaela Minca and her daughters. “In them, the witch is not a myth but a lived reality, a way of being rooted in nature, tradition, and feminine knowledge outside institutional power,” Weir said.

Minca, as well as the other women featured in Witch, are dressed in Findikoglu’s designs. The wardrobe standout is undoubtedly a cherry-adorned corseted dress, stained with juices that the more macabre-minded could read as blood. Findikoglu’s feminine, defiant clothing fit perfectly into the story of Witch, and Tudor-like details conjure up a time when these women were once persecuted. A sheer dress embodies the feeling of womanly freedom, while a coat of hair exemplifies the wild nature of a rebellious spirit.

“Dilara Findikoglu’s clothes become part of this story,” Weir said. “Her designs embrace femininity without making it obedient. The body as a place of rebellion, desire, and self-expression. The clothes feel protective and provocative at once, allowing these women to inhabit the witch not as a caricature of evil, but as a symbol of power, freedom, and refusal.”

There are an array of perspectives at play within Witch—modernity and ancient traditions, young versus old, authenticity and artifice—that mirror the varied nature of the women depicted: No matter what, power is “deeply rooted in our body,” according to Findikoglu. “Through this book, we wanted to explore and celebrate the beauty of this often-overlooked wisdom, to question the boundaries between the rational and the unseen, and to recognize the power that exists beyond what we have been taught to understand as truth.”
