Jackie Asamoah Shut Down Paris Haute Couture Week in a Sculptural Giorgia Viola Fantasy

Leave it to Jackie Asamoah to show up at Stéphane Rolland’s Fall/Winter 2025–2026 show and make everyone else look like they just came for the croissants. The digital creator didn’t just attend Paris Haute Couture Week — she entered a new style dimension in a breathtaking white Giorgia Viola gown that might’ve been handcrafted by fashion angels themselves. The look? All drama, all silhouette, all statement. With a neckline that plunged just enough to raise eyebrows (in the best way), the gown hugged Jackie’s curves like it had been custom-built on her body. But the real headline? Those sleeves. Not sleeves, really — more like architectural art pieces masquerading as fashion. Think flower petals or futuristic wings. It was giving “fashion sculpture,” not just “red carpet.” And because Jackie doesn’t do halfway fabulous, she paired the look with a sculptural white headpiece — a floating crown of feathery forms that made her look like a couture deity descending upon the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. With soft blonde waves, golden accessories, and a sparkly clutch tucked under one arm like a final mic drop, the whole vibe was: if ethereal elegance and cutting-edge couture had a baby. Paris may have seen dozens of standout looks this week — but Jackie Asamoah’s moment? That was the one people are still talking about in the back of the Uber.

Veekee James Serves a Crochet Masterclass in Cape Town — 3 Vacation Looks, Zero Notes

At this point, Veekee James could show up in a bath towel and still make it fashion — but thankfully, for her recent trip to Cape Town, she went with something a little more breezy: crochet, crochet, and more crochet. Three separate looks. All fire. All proof that vacation outfits hit different when the person wearing them knows exactly how much she’s serving. Look one? A riot of colour. A rainbow-stitch drawstring crop top with a chevron skirt so perfectly paired it felt custom (and probably was — this is Veekee, after all). She threw in a pink beaded handbag that had enough attitude to qualify for its own influencer account. It was flirty, fun, and very “I dress for dopamine, not weather.” Look two came in softer. Pink and purple, ruffled sleeves, and a skirt with just enough drama to make you pause your scroll. It gave “sunset cocktail by the pool” but with designer edge. The kind of outfit that makes people on the trip text their group chat: ok so Veekee packed different this time. And just when you thought she might give us a repeat vibe — boom. She pulled out a turquoise and navy set that whispered, not shouted. A bandeau. A shrug. A floor-length skirt that floated above the beach like it had an agenda of its own. If look one was “main character,” and look two was “hot girl with a hint of sweet,” this one was “calm luxury by someone who knows she’s the reference.” Wearing crochet three times in one trip is a bold choice — and Veekee somehow made each one feel like a different chapter in a style novel. No copy-paste vibes. No “influencer starter pack” energy. Just vibes. And taste. And range. So while the rest of us are still trying to figure out if crochet is back (spoiler: it never left), Veekee James already packed it, wore it, and made it look like the future of vacationwear.

Kim Kardashian, Latex, and a Runway Comeback: The Paris Fashion Week Power Moment We Didn’t Know We Needed

Kim Kardashian just reminded us — again — that she didn’t come to Paris to spectate. She came to dominate. The Balenciaga brand ambassador pulled up to the house’s 54th Couture show looking like a futuristic siren wrapped in white latex — complete with matching booted stilettos, a dramatic back cutout, and black sunglasses that screamed “I do not perceive peasantry.” The look? Clinical. Slick. Surgically styled. But then again, when has Kim ever gone for subtle during couture week? Joining her in this high-glam moment were none other than Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Katy Perry, making this trio the fashion week girl gang we never thought to manifest — but now desperately need a group chat leak from. And let’s not pretend this meetup isn’t loaded. Kim was fresh from Lauren’s billion-dollar wedding to Jeff Bezos last month in Venice, where she was seen casually chatting with Katy’s ex, Orlando Bloom. Fast forward to Paris, and here they are — one in black velvet, one in clear glasses, and one in head-to-toe latex — making front row history. Diplomacy has never looked this stylish. Kim later walked the runway in a fur coat and slip dress like it was 2022 all over again — except with even more camera flashes and probably a few more NDAs. Meanwhile, Katy kept things sharp and minimal in a black mini and side-parted updo, while Lauren went full quiet luxury with a velvet bow and blackout sunglasses. It’s giving “stealth wealth meets PR strategy.” Let’s also address the elephant in the front row — Katy and Orlando are officially over, as of checks notes last week. The co-parenting statement was civil, sure, but the fashion optics are louder. Katy showed up at PFW giving “freshly single but thriving,” and honestly, it worked. This moment wasn’t just about the clothes — it was about positioning. Power optics. You’ve got a reality titan, a Bezos, and a pop star all staged for a perfectly timed photo op. And Paris Fashion Week, ever the scene for whispered alliances and quiet shade, just handed us a new Holy Trinity of style and strategic presence. Because if you’re going to serve couture, you might as well serve a little narrative with it.

Cardi B Showed Up to Paris Looking Like a Nun

Cardi B Paris Fashion Week 2025

Only Cardi B could turn the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées into a place of both worship and meme-worthy confusion. For Stéphane Rolland’s Fall/Winter 2025-26 Haute Couture show, Cardi rolled up in an outfit that can best be described as holy meets embryonic. The look? A sculptural hooded gown that screamed “vow of silence but make it couture.” At first glance, you’re thinking nun. At second glance… maybe an egg? Or both? We’re not sure — but we’re obsessed with the chaos. The gown featured a black skirt and an exaggerated hood with a stark white lining that wrapped around her torso in the shape of, well, something you’d see in a biology textbook or a dramatic art installation. The entire silhouette created a surreal optical illusion, turning Cardi into either a symbol of sacred restraint… or a very glam fertilization metaphor. It’s giving Madonna meets Cellular Reproduction 101. And that’s why we tune in. Twitter (as expected) is divided. Half the internet is convinced she’s blessing the fashion girls with full-on Sister Act energy. The other half? Deep in the group chat yelling “why is Cardi dressed like the beginning of life???” Honestly, both are valid. That’s what makes Paris Fashion Week so iconic. High fashion doesn’t have to make sense — it just has to make an impact. And Cardi? She didn’t just show up, she conceptualised. Whether it’s divine devotion or a trip down a Fallopian runway, she committed. And that’s the real art.

Barbie’s Newest Doll Wears an Insulin Pump—and It’s About Time

Barbie’s done a lot over the years. She’s been an astronaut, a president, a doctor, and—briefly—a mermaid. But now? She’s finally stepping into something a little more real: type 1 diabetes visibility. And we have Lila Moss to thank for that. Ahead of the August 2025 launch of Barbie’s most inclusive lineup yet, the brand just unveiled a doll inspired by the British model and activist—complete with a glucose monitor, insulin pump, and that signature Lila-level cool-girl style. Yes, the doll actually has medical gear sculpted into her look, and no, this isn’t a drill. Courtesy of Barbie Lila, who’s been open about managing type 1 diabetes since her teenage years, called the collaboration a deeply personal moment. Because when one of the world’s most iconic toys shows up with a visible chronic condition? That’s not just a cute accessory. That’s representation. And yes, she said she gets messages from people who finally feel seen. Cue the happy tears. Courtesy of Lila Moss Now, in case you’re wondering—this isn’t just Barbie slapping a medical patch on a doll for diversity points. The detail work is precise. We’re talking wearable tech: glucose monitor on the arm, insulin pump on the leg, blood sugar kit in the handbag. Fashion meets function meets actual awareness. This is not your 2001 sparkle-fairy Barbie. As part of the launch, Mattel is also partnering with Breakthrough T1D (the global org formerly known as JDRF), and has pledged a £20,000 donation to support education, research, and community programmes. Which honestly? Feels like a much-needed step for a brand that’s trying to walk the very thin, very glittery line between being iconic and inclusive. The new doll joins the Barbie Fashionistas 2025 collection, which already includes dolls with hearing aids, prosthetic limbs, vitiligo, Down’s syndrome, and more. With over 175 variations in skin tone, body shape, and visible disability, the Fashionistas line is basically Barbie’s way of saying: “The world is not one-size-fits-all, and we’re finally catching on.” Mattel’s SVP Krista Berger even said it herself—Barbie shapes how kids see the world. And for the millions of children growing up with conditions like type 1 diabetes, this doll might be the first time they see someone who looks, acts, and lives like them… on the shelf. In a tutu or not. And let’s be honest: that’s how you change the game.
