Damson Idris Just Gave Limoncello a Face Card at the F1 Premiere — But the Trousers? Whew.
You know that moment when someone walks onto a red carpet and it feels like a breeze just followed them in? That was Damson Idris at the F1: The Movie premiere in London. Wearing a pale yellow Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2025 suit, Damson looked like he’d been squeezed straight out of a chic Amalfi cocktail. No shirt. Just skin, sun, and a full gold rollout courtesy of his own jewelry line, DIDRIS. And it worked — mostly. The tailoring? Clean. The color? Gorgeous. The trousers? Let’s just say they were more revealing than expected. Whether it was the lighting or just a bold choice, the sheer fabric made it very clear where the pockets lived. And yes, we looked. But Damson knew what he was doing. His signature smirk said, “I planned this,” and the stack of pearl-and-gemstone chains, gold IWC watch, and layered rings confirmed it. He may have been dressed for summer, but the jewellery screamed winter bonus. Even the venue lights hit him like he was headlining a solo.
Davido Just Shut Down Paris Fashion Week in a Tulle Blazer at the 3.PARADIS SS26 Show
The girls were gagging. The photographers were scrambling. And honestly? So were we. Davido rolled up to the 3.PARADIS Spring/Summer 2026 show like it was his album launch, not someone else’s runway — and the outfit? Straight out of a high-fashion fever dream. He wore a sheer, sculptural Tuelle blazer that had just enough transparency to keep things interesting, but was structured like couture armor. Think: delicate chaos meets tailored power. The kind of blazer that says “I make hits,” but also, “I make headlines.” It didn’t whisper luxury — it screamed risk-taker. Let’s talk styling: Chunky jewels? Check. Sleek eyewear? Check. That signature Davido attitude that somehow blends Lagos confidence with Parisian cool? Double check. From the moment he stepped into the 3.PARADIS show space, he wasn’t just attending — he was setting the tone. He’s not the kind of celebrity you just spot in the front row. He’s the moment. Always.
Inside Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Lavish Venice Wedding — Private Islands, Billionaire Balls, and a Mystery Dress Code
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are getting married this weekend, and no, it’s not your average Venice wedding. Unless your wedding includes a private island, a floating amphitheatre, and a secret guest list tighter than the Birkin vault at Hermès. Here’s what we know — or what we’ve managed to dig up. The couple is expected to kick off their multi-day celebration with a gala dinner on San Giovanni Evangelista, a hush-hush private island about 30 minutes off the Venice mainland. Think Ernest Hemingway meets extreme wealth — the villa on the island reportedly inspired Across the River and Into the Trees. Naturally. On Friday, the main ceremony goes down — and word on the canal is that it’ll take place at the newly restored amphitheatre on San Giorgio Maggiore. Renovated by Foster + Partners and designed with drone-proof canopies, it’s giving royal wedding meets tech fortress. And the afterparty? A ball at the Arsenale — Venice’s legendary shipyard-turned-art-scene — where Biennale meets billionaire. No pressure. Who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes? Italian society’s elite: Lanza & Baucina, a luxury event firm run by actual aristocrats (yes, like with titles). If anyone can shut down Venice, it’s these guys. Their Rolodex? Private palazzos, off-hours museum access, and the best boatmen in Italy. As Prince Antonio di Baucina puts it: “We always know someone who can open secret doors.” Say less. What is Lauren Sanchez wearing? Fashion’s tightest-lipped mystery right now. She’s kept her wedding wardrobe completely under wraps, but the smart money’s on Dolce & Gabbana. She’s worn the brand to multiple major events — including that sheer Alta Moda gown in Sardinia. But Oscar de la Renta is also in the running (remember that Vanity Fair afterparty moment? Bridal-coded). Expect multiple looks. Like, at least three. This is a wedding weekend — not a wedding day. Who’s invited? About 200 guests — no social climbers allowed. Spotted already: Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner touching down at Venice airport. Rumored attendees include Kim Kardashian, Barry Diller, Diane von Furstenberg, and Eva Longoria. If you were at the Paris bachelorette, chances are your invite arrived in a black car. If your phone’s buzzing this weekend, it’s probably just your group chat gossiping about the wedding of the year. Or decade. Or… ever?

Exclusive Interview with Goodluck Jane Okwuchukwu.
Creative Director, Boriah Couture | Founder, Fashion Trainee Mentorship Program La Mode Magazine: Jane, thank you for speaking with us. Let’s start with the big moment you recently launched the Fashion Trainee Mentorship Program. What inspired it? Goodluck Jane Okwuchukwu: Thank you for having me. The inspiration was deeply personal. When I began my journey in fashion, mentorship was almost nonexistent. Young designers were expected to figure it out themselves, and many great talents fell through the cracks. With the Fashion Trainee Mentorship, I wanted to create what I never had a nurturing space for emerging designers to grow confidently, both creatively and professionally. La Mode Magazine: What makes this mentorship different from other programs? Goodluck: It’s rooted in intentional access. We don’t just teach design we guide on branding, pricing, intellectual property, and how to speak to global markets. Also, we embrace our African identity. The curriculum includes traditional textiles, sustainability with local materials, and business training grounded in our cultural context. La Mode Magazine: You’re the force behind Boriah Couture, known for blending bold modern silhouettes with African craftsmanship. How does your design philosophy influence the mentorship? Goodluck: Everything I teach is an extension of what I practice. Boriah Couture has always been about duality bold femininity and rooted identity. In mentorship, I encourage that same balance. I want mentees to explore their voice, but also respect the stories embedded in our heritage fabrics and techniques. La Mode Magazine: How do you select mentees for the program? Goodluck: It’s a mix of talent, commitment, and perspective. We look for designers who show raw potential, but also a deep hunger to learn and contribute to the industry. Our first cohort includes creatives from Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya — and they each bring something uniquely powerful. La Mode Magazine: You’ve often been described as one of Africa’s quiet visionaries. How do you see your role in shaping the continent’s fashion future? Goodluck: (laughs) I don’t know about “visionary,” but I care deeply. I see my role as a bridge between tradition and innovation, local craft and global business. If I can help designers walk confidently into boardrooms as much as onto runways, then I’ve done my job. La Mode Magazine: What’s next for the program and for Boriah Couture? Goodluck: For the program, we’re expanding. The 2026 intake will introduce a virtual component and scholarships for underserved creatives. For Boriah Couture, I’m working on a new collection that merges hand-dyeing techniques from Osogbo with architectural tailoring. It’s going to be a bold love letter to African artisanship. La Mode Magazine: One last question what advice would you give a young African designer starting out today? Goodluck: Learn your craft deeply, protect your originality, and don’t wait for the world to validate you. Build, even if it’s small. Consistency will take you where confidence sometimes falters. And don’t be afraid to dream loudly Africa is listening. La Mode Magazine: Beautifully said. Thank you, Jane and congratulations again on all you’re building. Goodluck: Thank you so much. It means the world.
Chioma Ikokwu’s Birthday Look Said “Soft Life, Hard Reset.”
Robe? Yes. Casual? Never. Chioma Ikokwu just dropped her birthday glam photos, and it’s giving: goddess in her mirror era, surrounded by diamonds, waves, and people who know exactly how to catch her light. Known to many as Chioma Good Hair, the beauty entrepreneur and reality fave marked her birthday with a glam drop that hit like a soft flex and a self-love declaration rolled into one. Picture it: long body waves cascading down one shoulder, edges laid like architecture, skin glowing like it’s on payroll, and a glossy nude lip that deserves its own passport. And just when you thought the robe made it casual, she zooms out — cue the emerald statement necklace, matching earrings, and stacked rings like she’s hosting a panel on luxury. It’s not an outfit; it’s a message. Then there’s the caption — “I promise to protect this new version of me with everything I am… This year didn’t break me. It only made me STRONGER.”Say it louder for the people in the back. Hands on hair, brushes in motion, Chioma centre frame. The kind of “getting ready” shot that doubles as a reminder: this is what growth, gratitude, and good lighting looks like. Happy birthday, Chioma Obiageli Ikokwu. The world is your stage — and we’re front row.
Rema Walked the 424 x Porsche Show Like He Had Nothing to Prove
First music. Then the charts. Now Paris. Rema just hit the runway at Paris Fashion Week — and it wasn’t just a walk, it was a message. Stylish, striking, and full of that calm flex energy only he can deliver. Walking for Guillermo Andrade’s 424 in collaboration with Porsche, the Afrobeats star made his Paris Fashion Week debut feel like something between an album drop and a style sermon. No gimmicks. Just presence. Rema wore an all-white trench, wide-leg trousers tucked into combat-style boots, and nothing underneath but skin, ink, and quiet confidence. Heavy silver and beaded chains stacked around his neck like armor. And his locs? Still giving soft rebellion. Somewhere between runway model and futuristic monk. You can tell he wasn’t there to impress — and that’s exactly what made it unforgettable. Each photo in his carousel feels like a frame from a fashion film: industrial lights bouncing off Porsche hoods, Rema moving like the air belonged to him. Not overly posed, not overthought. Just energy. Controlled and fully owned. You don’t have to scream to make a moment land. Sometimes, it’s just a look. A trench. A pause. A stare. And a man who knows he’s built different.
SKIMS x Roberto Cavalli Is the Swimwear Collab You Didn’t Know You Needed
SKIMS said: Who’s ready to vacation like it’s 2003… but hotter? Kim Kardashian just dropped a wild card in the swimwear game — and yes, it involves tiger stripes, vintage prints, and Kris Jenner in a headscarf. In an unexpected (but weirdly perfect) move, SKIMS has teamed up with Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli to launch a new SKIMS Swim collection. Think all the shape-hugging silhouettes SKIMS is known for — now drenched in archival Cavalli prints from the brand’s sexy, maximalist glory days. It’s the Y2K fantasy. It’s resort-core. It’s… kind of insane in the best way? Shot by Nadia Lee Cohen, the campaign is a high-gloss, heatstroke hallucination featuring Kim and Kris against surreal backdrops in “Tiger Face,” “Light Zebra,” and “Fagianella” prints. If anyone can make matching swimsuits and car interiors feel luxurious, it’s this crew. “We paired Cavalli’s most iconic prints with our signature swim silhouettes to deliver a sexy collection that empowers every body to own swim season,” Kim said in a statement. (Translation: These suits will sell out fast.) The lineup includes scoop-neck one-pieces, mesh cover-ups, and matching accessories that scream ‘private island with no paparazzi’, but also work for a local pool party where you want to cause a little drama. Whether you’re a fan of the OG Cavalli animal print era or just want something that feels extra for your next beach post, this collection understands the assignment. The SKIMS x Cavalli drop hits June 27 on skims.com and robertocavalli.com. Set your alarms. Grab the gloss. It’s giving swim season main character energy.
Agent Provocateur’s New Swimwear Drop Just Made Ibiza Even Hotter
After a seven-year break, Agent Provocateur said: “Let’s cause some waves.” The British lingerie house just made a bold return to the beach with its Spring/Summer 2025 swimwear collection, and trust — it’s not for the faint of heart. Shot on location in Ibiza, the campaign stars DJ and certified It-Girl Kim Turnbull, who turns up the heat in every frame. Posing as the brand’s newest muse, Kim lounges, smolders, and saunters like someone who’s been living in golden hour all her life. Honestly, the Mediterranean couldn’t compete. And the swimwear? Ultra-seductive bikinis, luxe detailing, and gold hardware accents that feel more Bond girl than basic beach babe. Think: sun-drenched glamour, poolside power moves, and the kind of confidence you pack alongside your SPF 50. “I used to wear my mum’s AP hand-me-downs,” Kim said. “Now I get to front the swim campaign. It’s wild.”We love a full-circle moment. Especially when it’s dripping in high-shine fabric and attitude. Creative Director Sarah Shotton summed it up: “Kim brings realness, cool, and confidence. She’s exactly what summer should feel like.” From the booth to the beach, Agent Provocateur is reminding us what sexy actually looks like — and it’s not shy about it. The SS25 Swim Collection is available now on Agent Provocateur’s website. No pressure, but we wouldn’t wait too long.
Guava Girl Summer Is Here — These Are the Sweet-But-Spicy Beauty Products Everyone’s Talking About
Strawberry had her moment. Vanilla’s feeling overdone. Now? Guava is the main character. In case you missed the shift, there’s a new fruity queen ruling the beauty world — and her name is guava. No longer just a smoothie ingredient or beachside treat, guava has officially entered her beauty era. From Fenty Beauty’s tropical creams to Summer Fridays’ sweet-lipped balms, the fruit is showing up in our skincare, our scent profiles, and our entire summer vibe. The scent? Think sun-warmed fruit and soft vacation breeze. The color? That perfect blush-pink hue that lives somewhere between “I just left the spa” and “yes, I’m glowing on purpose.” Call it Guava Girl Summer, call it the new clean girl era — either way, your body butter just got an upgrade. Below, we’re rounding up the guava-infused products that are trending, selling out, and showing up on every girl’s moodboard. Fenty Beauty Guava Get Away Body Cream If Rihanna said it’s summer, it’s summer. This thick body cream does more than hydrate — it wraps you up in a pink, guava-scented hug. A must-have for anyone pretending they’re on vacation 24/7. Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum Glow Recipe rarely misses, and this pink serum is no different. It’s packed with Vitamin C and guava extract to fade dark spots and leave you gleaming like a glazed donut. Bonus points for the shelfie aesthetic. DIBS Beauty Jam Jam Lipstick in Guava Glaze This pH-adapting lipstick gives everyone a custom flush — aka, your lips but glossier, juicier, and more kiss-me-in-the-sun kinda cute. It’s like guava on the rocks for your mouth. Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Pink Guava Internet’s favorite lip balm now comes in Pink Guava, and we can confirm: it’s addictive. Moisturizing, sweet-smelling, and just the right hint of tint? Put one in your bag, your car, your bestie’s bag. Just trust.

This season is all about guava-glazed skin, fruit-tinted lips, and a hint of “I just came back from St. Barts” energy.
