Mariah Carey, the elusive chanteuse, gracing Harper’s BAZAAR UK’s September 2025 issue, reclaims her throne with a “Modern Classic” sensibility – a subtle nod, perhaps, to her enduring reign. The images, undeniably Alexi Lubomirski, speak volumes of a refreshed, yet still quintessentially Mariah, elegance.

The September issue of Harper’s BAZAAR UK, arriving in the crisp air of Autumn 2025, presents us with a Mariah Carey, captured by the discerning lens of Alexi Lubomirski. A “Modern Classic” indeed, a title that feels both apt and, dare I say, a touch ironic for a woman who has so masterfully redefined what ‘classic’ truly means in pop culture. But here, a different Mariah emerges—one grounded in tailored elegance, a departure from the usual glittering spectacle.

Shay Mitchell, ever the style provocateur, was spotted arriving at a Los Angeles studio on July 28, 2025, in an ensemble that—while seemingly casual—delivered a delightful, utterly L.A. twist with unexpected snakeskin-pattern heels. It’s a quiet subversion, no?

Darling, one must always appreciate a woman who knows how to elevate the seemingly mundane. And Shay Mitchell, on July 28, 2025, arriving at an L.A. studio, did precisely that. The base of her look was, frankly, rather… casual. An oversized white t-shirt, relaxed and almost lived-in, paired with what appear to be light-wash denim Bermuda shorts that hit just above the knee. It’s a silhouette that, on its own, would barely warrant a second glance on the sun-drenched streets of Los Angeles. Utilitarian, perhaps even a touch — dare I say — lazy.

Anna Kournikova, the tennis sensation, stepped onto the black carpet for the 3rd Annual “An Enduring Vision” charity Gala on October 10th, 2004, in a subtly captivating black cocktail dress. A look that, even then, hinted at a refined evolution.

Ah, Anna Kournikova. The name alone evokes a certain turn-of-the-millennium glamour, doesn’t it? And here she is, at the “An Enduring Vision” 3rd Annual charity Gala on October 10th, 2004, offering us a glimpse of her burgeoning red-carpet prowess. My memory serves me well; this was a period when her style began to pivot, moving from athletic exuberance to something altogether more polished.
