Couture’s reigning siren arrived swathed in feathered fringe and keyhole drama—Dua Lipa’s surrealist bride act marked a decadent start to Paris Fashion Week.
Haute Couture Fall 2025 officially took flight this morning in Paris—and no one soared higher than Dua Lipa. Arriving at the storied Petit Palais , the pop icon turned front row fixture leaned fully into the brand’s surrealist DNA, wearing a full-length ivory fringe gown from Schiaparelli Spring 2024 Couture , paired with jet-black pumps from the house’s Fall 2025 offering. No bag, no distractions—just unapologetic opulence.
Lipa’s look channeled the house’s most potent codes: the architectural silhouette, the exposed décolleté via Schiaparelli’s signature keyhole cut-out, and a fierce embrace of texture. But beneath the visual maximalism, there was restraint—a study in couture contrasts. Like a snowy egret amid the Parisian drizzle, she moved with slow precision, each fringe flutter capturing the light (and every photographer’s attention).
The accessories? Minimal but momentous. Saucer-sized earrings—likely Schiaparelli as well—featured a glinting mix of onyx, mother-of-pearl, and crystal detailing that bordered on the metaphysical. Her black French manicure echoed their concentric motif with tiny white spots, pulling the entire look into surreal cohesion. One might say she dressed like a dream conjured by Dalí’s jeweler .
Of course, the symbolic layers were hard to ignore. Lipa confirmed her engagement to actor Callum Turner just weeks ago in a British Vogue cover story, and this look—plumed, pristine, avian—whispered of bridal overtures. Was it a preview of a couture ceremony to come? Perhaps. But for now, it was enough to revel in this high-fashion apparition.
Inside the venue, she joined fellow fashion provocateurs Cardi B (who, in true chaos-couture form, accessorized with a live crow) and Hunter Schafer . Yet even among such spectacle, Dua stood apart—serene, enigmatic, and maybe just a little bit smug about it.
So, is this the dawn of a Lipa x Roseberry wedding collab—or just a feathered flirtation with the idea? We’ll be watching. Closely.
Dita Von Teese, the undisputed queen of burlesque and vintage allure, graced The London EDITION’s iconic Pride Brunch in London yesterday, July 6, 2025, hosted by Jean Paul Gaultier, Gigi Goode, and Henry Holland, with a look that was pure, unadulterated Old Hollywood fantasy.
Amidst the vibrant energy of the Pride celebrations, Von Teese was a vision of refined retro elegance, a living embodiment of mid-century chic. She donned a sophisticated ensemble featuring a striking lavender, off-the-shoulder top with a delicately draped neckline that hinted at a corseted structure beneath. The blouse’s long sleeves and structured bodice channeled a timeless glamour, perfectly complementing a sleek, dark pencil skirt that hugged her figure. The choice of lavender offered a softer, more romantic hue compared to her usual vibrant reds, yet maintained her signature sophisticated palette.
Monica Barbaro, the acclaimed actress, brought a touch of understated elegance to the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London yesterday, July 6, 2025.
Amidst the buzzing crowds and verdant lawns, Barbaro exuded an air of refined ease, proving that sometimes, less truly is more. She sported a creamy white slip dress—a timeless silhouette that felt both perfectly appropriate for the summer sporting event and effortlessly chic. The dress, with its delicate spaghetti straps and subtle V-neckline, skimmed her figure gracefully, falling to a midi length that allowed for both comfort and sophistication. The fabric, likely a silk or satin, caught the light with a soft sheen, adding a luxurious touch without being overtly flashy.
