A navy sweater, pleated skirt, and pom-poms at her feet—Molly Gordon’s J.Crew moment blends collegiate charm with editorial cool (and it’s quietly brilliant).
Molly Gordon has always had range—but in J.Crew’s September 2025 campaign, she proves that fashion can be both nostalgic and fresh, all in one frame. Against a plain gray backdrop, Gordon stands poised in a look that channels prep-school polish with a wink of cheer squad rebellion.
The outfit is textbook Americana with a twist: a navy long-sleeve sweater with exaggerated sleeves, paired with a beige pleated skirt that hits mid-thigh. The textures are tactile—soft knit against crisp pleats—and the silhouette is balanced, relaxed on top, structured below. White socks and brown loafers ground the look in classic campus style, while a pile of red and white pom-poms at her feet adds a playful, almost cinematic touch.
Her pose is introspective—one hand grazing her face, the other folded across her torso—suggesting a moment of thoughtfulness rather than performance. It’s a quiet kind of confidence, the kind that doesn’t need to shout to be seen. The lighting is soft and even, letting the textures and palette do the storytelling.
Hair is worn long and loose, makeup minimal—just enough to highlight her features without competing with the styling. The overall mood evokes a Wes Anderson still or a Sofia Coppola frame: curated, nostalgic, and emotionally resonant.
A gold corset, winged dancers, and stadium-scale drama—Dua Lipa’s Atlanta performance was part concert, part couture fantasy (and entirely unforgettable).
Dua Lipa doesn’t just perform—she orchestrates a visual symphony. On September 13, 2025, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, the Radical Optimism Tour reached peak theatricality, with Lipa center stage in a look that fused pop power with gilded fantasy.
Her outfit? A metallic gold corset-style ensemble that shimmered like armor under the stadium lights. The bodice was sculpted and structured, cinching the waist and flaring subtly at the hips—a silhouette that evoked both superhero and showgirl. Matching gold boots climbed to mid-thigh, elongating the leg line and adding a futuristic edge. Fishnet stockings peeked through, adding texture and a nod to cabaret tradition.
Surrounding her: shirtless dancers wielding oversized white feathered props that resembled wings, creating a tableau that felt part Vegas revue, part celestial ritual. The stage lighting—awash in purples and pinks—cast a dreamlike glow, while a mirrored screen behind her doubled the drama, reflecting every movement in high-definition spectacle.
A maroon gown with painterly florals and sheer sleeves—Julia Butters brings romantic maximalism to PatBO’s NYFW show (and yes, it bloomed).
Julia Butters didn’t just attend the PatBO fashion show—she arrived like a walking canvas. On September 16, 2025, at New York Fashion Week, Butters stepped into the spotlight in a look that fused theatrical elegance with botanical exuberance.
Her gown, a floor-length maroon piece, was adorned with oversized floral prints in shades of pink, peach, and green—each bloom rendered with painterly precision. The off-the-shoulder neckline and sheer fabric around the arms added softness and movement, while the structured silhouette kept the look grounded. It’s a dress that evokes the romance of a Frida Kahlo portrait with the polish of a couture runway.
On her feet: white floral high-heeled shoes that echoed the motif without competing for attention. No visible jewelry, no handbag—just the dress, the stance, and the moment. Her hair, styled in soft waves, framed her face with youthful ease, while her makeup leaned fresh and luminous—think dewy skin, defined lashes, and a barely-there lip.
