Pharrell Williams Turns adidas Adistar into an Underwater Fantasy with the VIRGINIA Jellyfish Orange

If you thought sneakers couldn’t double as wearable art, Pharrell Williams just proved otherwise. Enter the VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish Orange — a futuristic adidas drop that’s equal parts sea-inspired fantasy, street-ready comfort, and gallery-worthy design. Launching 23 August, this release feels less like footwear and more like a fashion statement that swam straight out of a coral reef. Bold? Absolutely. Collectible? Without a doubt. The silhouette is instantly eye-catching — think sculpted midsoles that echo jellyfish gills, layered mesh that mimics underwater movement, and glow-in-the-dark accents that lean into a nocturnal, aquatic vibe. It’s Pharrell doing what Pharrell does best: taking a sneaker and turning it into a cultural artefact. And then there’s the colour — a vivid, electric orange that screams graphic intensity. Paired with subtle branding nods to “VIRGINIA,” his creative platform, and storytelling pulled from marine life, this sneaker doesn’t just sit pretty. It makes a statement about motion, energy, and even the fragility of ecosystems, with its campaign visuals drawing on vintage underwater photography. But don’t let all that artistry fool you. Beyond the concept and the collectability, these kicks are still built for the streets. The Adistar DNA ensures cushioned comfort and practical wear, making them just as suitable for a night out as they are for a sneaker display case.   Retailing at $300, the VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish Orange is dropping in select adidas stores and online. Whether you’re in it for the fashion, the flex, or the future-forward design, one thing’s clear — this is not just another sneaker release. It’s Pharrell’s way of pulling us all into his underwater dreamscape.

Frankies Bikinis’ “Keepsakes” Collection Is Basically Your Summer Wardrobe Soulmate

Frankies Bikinis has always known how to make you feel like that girl at the beach — but now they’re coming for your summer dress rotation, and honestly, we’re here for it. Once just a Malibu swimwear brand serving tiny bikinis and dreamy cover-ups, Frankies has evolved into a full-blown lifestyle label — think loungewear, dresses, and accessories you’d happily wear from brunch to beach. Their latest drop, “Keepsakes”, is designed with one goal: to give you the perfect summer dress for every occasion. And they’re not just being poetic. These dresses are crafted from luxe fabrics that structure, sculpt, and soften in all the right places. As the brand puts it, “these dresses aren’t just elevated, they’re engineered” — and that’s exactly the kind of energy we want to carry into garden parties, rooftop cocktails, and sunset walks. The lineup? Think the Bloom Button Up (flirty yet polished), the Gem Floral Dress (pure cottagecore romance), and the Ethereal Satin Lace Dress (date night perfection). Oh, and because Frankies can’t resist, the collection also sneaks in two bikini styles and a few chic separates. The campaign, shot in Hawaii, is the visual reminder that your summer wardrobe can, in fact, be a whole mood. TL;DR: These dresses will outlast every holiday fling and Instagram trend — and still look flawless next year.

Kendall Jenner Saddles Up for ALO’s Fall 2025 ‘Luxury Is Wellness’

Just when you thought autumn was all about pumpkin spice and chunky knits, Kendall Jenner is here to remind us that true luxury might actually be… inner peace. In ALO’s brand-new Fall 2025 campaign, shot at the breathtaking Amangiri resort in Utah, Kendall trades the catwalk for horseback rides through dramatic desert landscapes. Think stillness, space, and a touch of cinematic drama — the kind of scene that makes you want to ditch your inbox and move to a wellness retreat immediately. The message? Luxury is wellness. Not just the handbag-on-your-arm kind, but the freedom-to-breathe, mind-and-body-in-sync, minimalist-aesthetic kind.   This isn’t just another pretty fashion collab either. Kendall didn’t just model; she got stuck into the creative direction, curating ALO’s Core Collection herself — 10 sleek essentials designed for movement, mindfulness, and, naturally, looking expensive while doing both. “I’ve been connected to ALO for years, so creating this campaign together, especially somewhere so peaceful, made it all the more special,” Kendall shares. She also credits her grounding rituals — whether she’s jet-setting, filming, or recharging at home — as her secret to staying centred.   From the desert breeze to the tailored leggings, it’s all serving ease with a side of elegance. Whether you’re into yoga or just into looking like you are, ALO’s Fall 2025 drop might be your ticket to a little slice of that Amangiri calm.

Destiny Etiko’s Birthday Fits Are Pure Angel Energy Meets Golden Goddess

Destiny Etiko didn’t just celebrate her birthday — she staged a full-on Nollywood fashion epic. Two acts, two completely different moods, both equally jaw-dropping. Scene one: Heaven’s Front Row. A structured white blazer with sharp, wing-like shoulders, a plunging neckline, and a waist so cinched it could start its own sculptural exhibit. The textured, feather-meets-scale detailing was paired with sleek flared trousers, while a giant round accessory — somewhere between an oversized bloom and an avant-garde fan — made sure no one forgot this was high fashion with celestial ambitions. Then came scene two: Gold Rush Royalty. Think shimmering mermaid gown drenched in embellishments, a dramatic train that could sweep away your Monday blues, and a crown-like headpiece that whispered, “Yes, I rule here.” If the first look was angelic, this one was unapologetically imperial. The verdict? Two looks. Infinite drama. Maximum birthday energy.

Davido & Chioma’s Miami Wedding: Where Love Met Star Power (and a Lot of Glam)

If Miami felt a little brighter over the weekend, you can thank Davido and Chioma — and their star-studded guest list. The couple’s white wedding was more than just a ceremony; it was a blockbuster event draped in love, luxury, and looks that could headline Fashion Week. And when one of Afrobeats’ biggest icons says “I do”, you don’t just RSVP — you pack your best outfit and prepare to outshine the Miami sun. The roll call read like an all-access pass to Nigeria’s entertainment elite: Adekunle Gold serving effortless cool, Obi Cubana and wife Lush Eby bringing billionaire polish, D’banj and his wife reminding us what power-couple energy looks like, celebrity stylist Medlin Boss delivering head-turning glam, and Davido’s cousin B-Red keeping it sharp. Every guest brought their own signature flair — a cocktail of elegance, personality, and just the right amount of “I’m here to be seen.” But beyond the outfits, it was the pure joy, laughter, and love in the air that made the night one for the books. Scroll on to see how they turned Davido & Chioma’s Miami wedding into a fashion-meets-music celebration we’ll be talking about for years.
