With a sleek black dress and a smile that could outshine the NYC skyline, Malin Åkerman proves that understated elegance is the ultimate power move—no frills, just effortless celebrity style.
Malin Åkerman’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (September 3, 2025) was a masterclass in less-is-more sophistication . Against the show’s iconic blue backdrop and neon cityscape, she stood out not with embellishment, but with precision : a single, impeccably tailored black dress that spoke volumes.
The dress—a sleeveless, high-neck silhouette —was the star. Its mesh paneling at the chest added a touch of intrigue, breaking up the solid black with a geometric, almost architectural pattern. The fabric clung just enough to hint at structure, yet flowed with her movement, striking that rare balance between polished and relaxed . The knee-length hem and subtle peplum detail at the waist elongated her frame, while the sleek, straight cut kept the focus on clean lines.

On the Venice red carpet, Nathalie Emmanuel turns minimalism into high drama—proving that sometimes, the darkest moments are the most luminous.
Nathalie Emmanuel’s arrival at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival for the Frankenstein premiere was a masterclass in gothic elegance . Against the festival’s iconic red carpet and the buzz of paparazzi, she stood out not with color, but with texture, cut, and an almost architectural precision .
The dress—a strapless, black velvet column —was a study in contrasts. The structured bodice , with its sharp, angular seams, gave way to a fluid, high-slit skirt that moved like liquid with every step. The fabric’s matte richness absorbed the light, making the dress appear almost three-dimensional, as if carved from shadow itself.
Accessories & Atmosphere: Sparkle in the Dark
Emmanuel’s accessories were deliberate and dazzling :
- Statement chandelier earrings that caught the light like shards of ice.
- A stack of delicate rings and a thin diamond bracelet , just enough to glint against the velvet.
- No necklace , letting the dress—and her radiant smile—take center stage.
Her pose— hands clasped, shoulders back, chin slightly tilted —radiated quiet confidence. The red carpet chaos around her only made her stillness more striking.

From gothic romance to cyber-fairytale whimsy, Lisa’s latest editorial spread is a masterclass in sartorial transformation—proving once again why she’s the reigning queen of celebrity fashion’s avant-garde.
Lisa’s collaboration with photographer Johnny Dufort for AnOther Magazine ’s Autumn/Winter 2025 issue is nothing short of a visual manifesto. Across three distinct looks, she oscillates between dark Victorian drama, ethereal floral fantasy, and baroque cyberpunk—each frame a testament to her chameleonic ability to embody disparate aesthetics with effortless precision.
The first look is a gothic triumph : a black velvet dress with a high collar and ruffled epaulettes, cinched at the waist with a dramatic red bow. The fabric’s lustrous sheen contrasts with the matte black of her lace-up platform boots, while fingerless gloves and fishnet tights add a subversive edge. In her hand, a black parasol—equal parts prop and punctuation mark—completes the ensemble. The setting? A graffiti-splattered wall, the urban decay amplifying the look’s rebellious spirit.
In the second act, Lisa blossoms into a cyber-floral dream . A sheer, petal-embellished dress—its bodice and skirt adorned with circular appliqués mirroring the giant daisy sculpture behind her—feels like a love letter to surrealism. The nude tights, dotted with polka patterns, and delicate pink stilettos soften the look’s architectural rigor, while her pose—one hand resting on the flower’s petal, the other cradling her face—exudes a playful vulnerability.
The finale is baroque chaos at its finest : a voluminous yellow-and-gold jacquard gown, its exaggerated ruffles and train spilling over a checkered dance floor. The dress, paired with sheer tights emblazoned with the word “SUPERWOMAN,” is a wink to both haute couture and pop culture. Her platform sandals, strapped with chains, ground the look in Lisa’s signature streetwise energy.
Cultural Context: Where Gothic Meets Cyber
This spread feels like a lovechild of Tim Burton and Blade Runner 2049 —darkly romantic yet futuristic, with a nod to the maximalist trends dominating 2025’s fashion landscape. The Victorian ruffles, cyber-floral motifs, and baroque excess reflect a broader cultural moment where nostalgia and innovation collide . Lisa, ever the trendsetter, doesn’t just wear these looks; she inhabits them , blurring the line between costume and character.
Her ability to pivot from gothic aristocrat to cyber-fairy princess within a single photoshoot cements her status as a celebrity style icon unafraid of risk. It’s this fearlessness that makes her editorials not just visually stunning, but culturally resonant.
Styling Cohesion: Hair, Makeup, and the Art of Transformation
Lisa’s beauty looks are as deliberate as her outfits. In the gothic scene, her sleek, center-parted hair and smoky, berry-stained lips evoke a modern-day Morticia Addams. The floral look softens her features with dewy skin, flushed cheeks, and a loose, half-up hairstyle , crowned with a delicate tiara. For the baroque finale, her sharp contour and glossy pout mirror the gown’s opulence, while her playfully tousled hair keeps the look from veering into costume territory.
Each iteration of Lisa feels like a different facet of the same gem —polished, multifaceted, and impossible to look away from.
