Never one to be boxed in by her on-screen personas, Madeleine McGraw’s editorial for Numéro Netherlands (a title that, it must be said, is carving out a truly unique space in the fashion world) debuts a new kind of glamorous vulnerability.
The shoot, lensed by photographer Dylan Perlot, feels less like a traditional fashion spread and more like an intimate lookbook of a woman in flux. The lighting is soft and natural, casting long, dramatic shadows that play with the textures of each piece. This is fashion as a character study, a series of vignettes that reveal a quiet strength and a deep, introspective mood.
The first look offers a dramatic silhouette—a black silk slip dress paired with a floor-length faux fur coat. The coat, with its thick, alternating stripes of gray and white, gives a nod to old Hollywood glamour but with a modern, animal-friendly twist. The fabric looks incredibly plush and tactile, creating a powerful, almost regal presence as she poses low to the ground. The simple black dress underneath provides a sleek, dark canvas, allowing the coat to command the spotlight. She accessorizes with minimal jewelry and pointed-toe black heels, keeping the focus squarely on the bold outerwear.
The second outfit transitions to a softer, more playful aesthetic. She reclines on a crisp white bed, wearing a light blue tweed two-piece set—a cropped jacket and a pleated mini-skirt. The fabric is flecked with shimmering silver threads, adding a subtle sparkle. The look is a masterclass in modern-day Chanel-esque chic, but with an edgy twist from a chain belt draped loosely around her waist. Her hair is styled with a simple white bow, a girlish detail that beautifully contrasts with the sophisticated tailoring of the tweed.
The third and final look is a whimsical plunge into fantasy. She wears a striking, beaded mini-dress that looks like it was plucked from an underwater dreamscape. The dress is a work of art, with intricate beadwork depicting coral reefs, seashells, and tiny, delicate fish in soft pinks and oranges against a light blue backdrop. A stunning golden sunburst detail on one shoulder adds a celestial touch. This outfit completely shifts the narrative, moving from the grounded glamour of the first two looks to a surreal, ethereal moment. Her makeup—smoky eyes with a hint of shimmer—and tousled, voluminous hair complete the otherworldly vision.
Selah Luper, a rising figure on social media, debuts a series of laid-back, sun-drenched looks that perfectly capture the essence of a carefree summer—a vibe that, frankly, is a welcome departure from the relentless high-glamour (and often, high-effort) of the red carpet.
Luper’s recent posts are a masterclass in approachable celebrity style , proving that real style happens when the cameras are off. Each image feels like a snapshot from a perfect summer day—relaxed and authentic. She isn’t performing; she’s simply living, and the clothes are an extension of that ease.
The first image captures her on the beach, kneeling in the sand with the ocean stretching out behind her. Her two-piece bikini is a bright pop of saturated pink, with a delicate floral pattern printed across the fabric. The top is a classic triangle cut, while the bottoms offer a low-slung, cheeky silhouette. Her blonde hair, styled in loose, beachy waves, complements the natural, sun-kissed makeup. She looks directly into the camera, her smile genuine and her pose completely at ease. It’s a moment of pure, unadulterated summer fun.
In a different shot, Luper swaps the beach for a casual, urban setting. She leans against a textured wall, showcasing a classic street-style look. She pairs a simple white halter top with a low-rise denim mini-skirt. The top’s clean lines and cropped fit highlight her midriff, while the light-wash denim skirt, with its slightly distressed texture, adds a touch of retro-inspired cool. A simple gold necklace and dainty earrings accessorize the outfit without overpowering it. This look is a perfect example of effortless chic, a testament to the power of well-fitting basics.
A third picture finds her at the beach again, but this time with a different mood. She wears an oversized, dark teal hoodie with the word “DANDY” printed on the front in a clean, white font. Her blonde hair is styled in two casual braids, and large, statement earrings add a touch of personality. The juxtaposition of the cozy hoodie with the beach backdrop and a minimal amount of clothing underneath (implied by the setting) creates an interesting visual paradox—a cozy, relaxed moment against the vast, open elements of the ocean.
Valeria Golino’s red carpet return was anything but quiet—her abstract metallic gown fused retro futurism with operatic flair, a visual crescendo at Venice’s 82nd edition.
There’s a certain kind of elegance that doesn’t beg for attention—it commands it. At the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on September 4, 2025, Valeria Golino stepped onto the red carpet with the kind of sartorial confidence that only decades of cinematic gravitas can earn. Her look? A masterclass in pattern, proportion, and presence.
The gown was a visual symphony: black, white, and metallic tones arranged in a radiating, feather-like motif that felt both organic and engineered. The fabric shimmered under the festival lights, catching every camera flash like a constellation in motion. The silhouette was deceptively simple—three-quarter sleeves and a flowing skirt—but the print’s kinetic energy gave it architectural weight. It was less a dress, more a wearable installation.
Accessories were chosen with precision. A statement necklace anchored the neckline, echoing the geometric rhythm of the gown, while earrings added a subtle glint without competing for attention. Golino’s short curls framed her face with a softness that balanced the boldness of the ensemble—think 1930s screen siren meets avant-garde futurist.
In a sea of predictable silhouettes and safe palettes, Golino’s look felt like a bold punctuation mark. It’s the kind of fashion moment that belongs not just in galleries, but in the evolving archive of red carpet history.
