Adria Arjona made a quiet, yet utterly unforgettable entrance at the “Splitsville” premiere, unveiling a dramatic and elusive look from the Loewe Fall 2025 collection.
The thing about Jonathan Anderson, darling, is that he is always a few steps ahead. I remember back in the spring when his final collection for Loewe Fall 2025 was unveiled not on a runway, but on mannequins—a static, almost defiant presentation. It was a statement, of course, a challenge to the relentless pace of fashion. But it also left us all wondering how these sculptural, almost fantastical pieces would move. How they would live and breathe on a body.
Well, now we know. Adria Arjona gave us the answer, and she gave it beautifully. Stepping onto the red carpet in Los Angeles on August 19, 2025, for the “Splitsville” premiere, she unveiled a look from that very collection. And she did it with the ultimate tease: we only saw the back. Not a single photograph of the dress from the front has surfaced, which, to me, is a genius move.
This particular gown is a theatrical masterpiece in motion. The deep, plunging scoop of the back is framed by elegant, gathered sleeves that cascade down the length of the dress, creating a sculptural, almost cape-like effect that reveals her skin as if it were a work of art. Unlike a plunging neckline or a thigh-high slit that tells you everything at once, an exposed back carries a much quieter, more intriguing allure. It’s a detail that creates its own kind of magnetism, and Adria played that card perfectly.
Her accessories were just as thoughtfully considered, a study in unforgettable elegance. Adria wore a sleek ballerina bun and complemented her look with an astonishing array of jewels from Tiffany & Co.. The star of the show was the iconic Jean Schlumberger Bird on a Rock pendant. She also wore Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger Flame Ear Clips, a Schlumberger Rope Six-Row x Ring, and a Tiffany T True band. Ah, the Bird on a Rock… a classic, non? But had it been reversed to cascade down her spine, given her choice to spotlight the back of the gown, it would have been a true stroke of genius. For her shoes, she chose the sophisticated Giuseppe Zanotti Raquel Pumps in black satin.
For those of us who have followed fashion for decades, it’s a refreshing sight. This isn’t just about showing skin, it’s about revealing a sense of confidence and an appreciation for a garment’s architectural beauty. It’s a statement, and on the red carpet, a moment like this is everything.
Why This Look Is a Red Carpet Triumph
- The Ultimate Tease. By turning her back to the cameras, Adria Arjona elevated her look from a simple dress to a moment of high fashion, forcing us to lean in and appreciate the design’s unique complexity.
- A Nod to Craftsmanship. Her choice to wear a piece from a collection presented on mannequins honors the designer’s intent and celebrates the artistry behind the garment’s form and function, proving a garment’s true beauty is in its motion.
- Modern Elegance. The open back is a daring, yet sophisticated choice, offering a fresh take on classic glamour that feels more intriguing and less overt than a traditional plunging neckline.
- Jewels That Talk. Pairing a sculptural gown with statement pieces like the Tiffany & Co. Bird on a Rock pendant demonstrates a deep understanding of synergy—the jewels didn’t compete with the dress, they complemented its elegance.
Adria’s unforgettable entrance proves that what’s behind you can often be just as impactful as what’s in front. For more unforgettable moments and a full history of iconic gowns, check out our red carpet archives.
Never one to shy from spectacle, Katy Perry unleashes a futuristic fantasy (and honestly, total whiplash chic) at her Nashville performance, fusing sci-fi with pop theatrics.
Katy Perry’s stage presence has always been defined by a joyful, over-the-top theatricality. She is a pop star who understands that a live show is not just a concert—it’s an all-encompassing experience. And at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on August 19, 2025, she elevated that experience to a whole new dimension with a look that felt less like an outfit and more like a character.
The costume is a true piece of wearable art, a fusion of pop art aesthetics and futuristic armor. Crafted from what appears to be sculpted, metallic panels, the ensemble glistens with iridescent shades of blue, red, and silver. The rigid, armor-like plates on her arms and legs contrast dramatically with the peek of fishnet stockings underneath, while a heart-shaped cutout on the torso adds a playful, signature Katy Perry touch. The look is so meticulously designed, it’s a full visual narrative: part cyborg, part superhero, part pop icon.
It’s a look that pulls from a rich cultural tapestry—the glossy, sci-fi futurism of films like Blade Runner and The Fifth Element are clear reference points, re-contextualized for a grand stage. This is how Katy Perry speaks the language of performance, using fashion as her primary tool for world-building. She commands the stage, not just with her voice, but with a visual that is so powerful it becomes the entire show. Whether on the red carpet or on a grand stage like the Bridgestone Arena, her ability to transform is her greatest asset.

Stepping back into her iconic role, Anne Hathaway’s (and frankly, Miranda Priestly’s) influence is clear as she unveils a masterclass in monochrome on the streets of New York.
There’s a special kind of style evolution that happens when a star returns to an iconic role. The person may be the same, but the fashion speaks volumes about where they—and the culture—have been. And as Anne Hathaway was spotted on the set of “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” it’s clear Andrea Sachs’s evolution is complete. Trading the high-strung, frantic looks of her original tenure at Runway, Hathaway’s latest on-set style is a pure distillation of confident, effortless chic.
The look is an all-white triumph. An oversized, slightly undone button-down shirt is worn over a simple white top, paired with relaxed, flowing trousers of a similar shade. The silhouette is a far cry from the sharp, structured pieces of the past—it’s fluid, confident, and breathes with a quiet luxury that doesn’t need to shout. The shoes, a pair of simple black sandals, ground the look with a practical, no-fuss elegance.
But the details are what truly tell the story. The pair of sunglasses, the sleek silver water bottle, and especially the paper bag that reads “SO MANY BOOKS” are all subtle nods to her character’s intellect and modern sensibility. This is the look of a woman who has found her stride, who no longer needs to try so hard. From her breakout red carpet moments to her latest film roles, Anne Hathaway’s sartorial journey is a testament to her style evolution.
