Lola Tung’s latest New York appearance was a sartorial curveball—her buckled straps, polka-dot tights, and ruffled hem delivered street style with a surrealist wink.
Lola Tung knows how to keep fashion interesting. On September 2, 2025, outside ABC Studios in New York City, the rising star stepped into a look that felt part anime heroine, part downtown intellectual. It was a collision of textures, tones, and unexpected details—proof that street style doesn’t need to be loud to be unforgettable.
The dress itself is a study in contrasts. A textured, form-fitting bodice anchors the look, while a light blue ruffled hem adds a playful, almost doll-like finish. Black strap details with silver buckles run over the shoulders, giving the silhouette a utilitarian edge—think Vivienne Westwood meets Miu Miu. The fabric appears structured but breathable, with a subtle sheen that catches the city light. It’s a silhouette that hugs without clinging, flares without fuss.
Tung pairs the dress with sheer polka-dot tights—whimsical, retro, and slightly rebellious. Her white shoes, adorned with delicate bows, add a touch of innocence, while a black handbag grounds the look with a classic finish. Eyeglasses frame her face with a scholarly charm, offering a cerebral counterpoint to the outfit’s more fantastical elements. The accessories don’t compete—they converse.
This look taps into the new wave of eclectic femininity—where bows meet buckles, and softness is layered with structure. It’s a style movement that’s been bubbling up on runways and sidewalks alike, championed by Gen Z tastemakers who refuse to choose between pretty and powerful. Tung’s outfit feels like a manifesto for this moment, and it belongs squarely in the canon of celebrity street style .
Never one to play it safe, Heidi Klum channels vintage allure with a modern twist in her sheer polka-dot ensemble for Cosmopolitan Deutschland’s October 2025 issue—proving age-diversity in fashion isn’t just a trend, it’s a revolution.
Thirty years in the spotlight, and Klum still knows how to turn heads—this time, with a look that marries nostalgia and edge. For the magazine’s 45th anniversary cover, she dons a sheer black mesh dress dotted with tiny polka spots, a style that feels both timeless and refreshingly current. The dress itself is a study in contrast: its deep V-neckline dips low enough to hint at drama without crossing into vulgarity, while long sleeves trimmed with delicate fringe add a retro flair reminiscent of 1920s flapper dresses. A wide black belt cinches at the waist, creating an hourglass silhouette that’s equal parts classic and contemporary. The fabric is a revelation—translucent yet structured, allowing glimpses of skin without sacrificing elegance. Minimalist accessories keep the focus on the dress: a sleek silver buckle on the belt, subtle gold hoop earrings, and (if visible) a thin bracelet. Nothing competes with the dress’s bold pattern, but everything enhances it—proof that less is often more in high fashion.
Klum’s pose is pure confidence: arms raised behind her head, body angled slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips. The soft, warm lighting of the shoot casts a golden glow on her skin, emphasizing the dress’s texture and her own radiant energy. There’s no pretense here—just a woman owning her space, unapologetically. Her hair, a cascade of blonde waves, falls loosely around her shoulders, adding softness to the edgy dress. Makeup is equally balanced: smoky eyeshadow that draws attention to her eyes, paired with nude lipstick that keeps the focus on her features rather than overwhelming them. Every element—from the dress’s silhouette to the hair’s texture—works in harmony, creating a look that’s cohesive, memorable, and utterly Heidi.
This look isn’t just about fashion; it’s about challenging norms. In an industry that often values youth over experience, Klum’s presence on the cover sends a clear message: beauty and success don’t have an expiration date. As she tells the magazine, “When I started, models hit their peak in their late 20s. Now, times have changed, and I’m still working at 52—that makes me happy.” Her choice of a sheer, polka-dot dress bridges generations, appealing to both longtime fans and new audiences. It’s a rebuke to ageism, wrapped in a garment that’s as stylish as it is symbolic.

Maria Bakalova’s latest editorial for Numéro Netherlands is a visual jolt—her layered silhouettes and surreal textures channel a kind of couture chaos, beautifully controlled.
Maria Bakalova has never been one to shy away from fashion’s more theatrical corners, and her August 2025 photoshoot for Numéro Netherlands proves she’s fluent in the language of editorial drama. Across a series of stark compositions—some in monochrome, others bursting with color—Bakalova transforms into a living sculpture, each look a study in tension, texture, and unapologetic eccentricity.
In one black-and-white frame, Bakalova wears a strapless black top with a fitted bodice, paired with a voluminous, ruffled skirt that flares dramatically at the hips. The skirt’s horizontal layers create a sculptural rhythm, almost architectural in their precision. Beneath, patterned leggings swirl with embellishments—baroque meets cyberpunk. Another look features a fuzzy, cropped charcoal top with buttons, juxtaposed against a sheer orange skirt embroidered with sequined florals. The contrast is electric: matte versus shimmer, restraint versus riot.
