In a masterclass of cinematic chic, Monica Bellucci brought velvet noir and old-world magnetism to Milan Fashion Week—her look, a sultry whisper from another era.

There are moments in fashion history that feel less like events and more like apparitions—Monica Bellucci at Milan Fashion Week 2003 was one of them. She didn’t just walk into the venue; she materialized, as if conjured from a Fellini dream sequence, draped in a look that could silence a room.

Trading haute couture for coastal cool, Eva Longoria unveils a lesson in chic simplicity—and proves a classic black bikini is the only statement piece you’ll ever need.

There is an art to dressing for the beach, and Eva Longoria’s recent sighting in Marbella, Spain, is a masterclass in it. While she is known for her red-carpet drama and sophisticated evening wear, she embraced a different kind of glamour on August 15, 2025: the kind that comes from pure, effortless confidence.

The foundation of the look is a streamlined black string bikini, a timeless piece that demonstrates the power of a perfect fit. It’s a chic and understated choice that lets the natural beauty of the moment—and the location—take center stage. Her only accessory is a gleaming gold medallion, a subtle splash of glitz that feels both personal and elevated.

As she frolicked in the waves, the look felt completely authentic, not an orchestrated moment for the cameras. On dry land, she occasionally augmented her look with a pair of black shorts, a simple addition that shows the versatility of a well-chosen swimwear staple.

Ultimately, Eva Longoria reminds us that when it comes to beach style, confidence (and a perfect black bikini) is the only accessory you’ll ever truly need.

Steering clear of spectacle, Dakota Johnson unveils her signature brand of effortless cool—blazer and all—at the ‘Splitsville’ Los Angeles screening.

In an era of bold, attention-grabbing red carpet looks, Dakota Johnson stands apart by not trying too hard. Her style is a masterclass in understated elegance, and her appearance at the ‘Splitsville’ Los Angeles screening on August 14, 2025 , was no exception. It was a look that felt completely, authentically her—a welcome reprieve from the constant chase for a viral moment.

Johnson’s outfit centers on a classic black blazer, but this isn’t your average office attire. Its strong, structured shoulders add a touch of confident tailoring, while the deep, unbuttoned front hints at a relaxed, effortless attitude. It’s a silhouette that perfectly balances menswear-inspired sharpness with a distinctly feminine ease.

The accessories are what truly ground the look in her personal aesthetic. A delicate gold necklace with a dark, organic-looking pendant rests against her chest, a subtle bohemian-goth touch that is quintessentially Dakota. Paired with her signature bangs and long, flowing hair, the entire ensemble exudes a sense of quiet authority. This isn’t a power suit; it’s a statement of personal style.
