Shakira Khan attends the ITV launch, unveiling a head-to-toe Y2K look that proves the early 2000s are officially back (in a big way).
The ITV Reality Entertainment Schedule Launch in London was a vibrant affair, and Shakira Khan’s look was a perfect match for the celebratory mood. Her outfit was a nostalgic trip back to the early 2000s, embracing the playful, body-conscious aesthetic of the era with a contemporary twist.
Khan’s two-piece ensemble is a lesson in coordinated color and texture. The crop top, a simple spaghetti-strap design, and the ruched midi-skirt both feature a delightful watercolor-style print of bright pink flowers against a soft, peachy-pink background. The fabric of the skirt appears to be a lightweight, semi-sheer mesh, a quintessential Y2K detail that adds movement and a touch of effortless allure. The low-slung, ruched waistline of the skirt, exposing her belly button piercing, is another direct reference to the era’s playful styling.
She pairs the look with a pair of chunky platform sandals in a neutral gold or tan color, their espadrille-style wedge heel a fitting touch that grounds the otherwise delicate look. Simple gold jewelry—a chain necklace and a belly-button ring—are the only other embellishments, keeping the focus squarely on the vibrant print and sleek silhouette. Her long, dark hair is styled in loose waves, adding to the relaxed, bohemian vibe.
Toni Laites attends the ITV Reality Entertainment Schedule Launch, unveiling a pleated, playful romper that perfectly balances party flair and easy glamour.
Toni Laites’ red carpet appearance at the ITV Reality Entertainment Schedule Launch in London was a masterclass in modern, fun-loving style. Instead of a dress, Laites opted for a black romper , a choice that felt both unexpected and entirely right for the festive atmosphere.
The romper features a deep halter neckline and a ruched bodice that creates a subtle texture and visual interest. The shorts are pleated, giving the piece a skirt-like illusion and adding a touch of flirty movement. It’s a look that feels both effortless and meticulously put-together, showcasing a clever blend of relaxed fit with a structured, chic design.
Laites pairs the romper with simple black heeled flip-flops , a choice that’s both daring and perfectly on-trend, proving that casual footwear can be elevated for a red carpet moment. The black headband pulls the entire look together, adding a ’90s-inspired, preppy touch that feels fresh and cool. Her accessories, including a delicate necklace and a handful of bracelets, are minimal and refined, allowing the romper itself to be the star.
Alana Duqum attends the Hollyshorts Film Festival, debuting a soft, “Balletcore” aesthetic in a playful and romantic pink mini-dress.
At the 21st Annual Hollyshorts Film Festival, Alana Duqum presented a look that felt both nostalgic and perfectly on-trend. In a sea of expected red-carpet glamour, her choice of a delicate, blush-pink mini-dress offered a refreshing note of youthful romance, a nod to the burgeoning “Balletcore” trend that has captivated fashion editors and social media alike.
The dress itself is a study in texture and silhouette. A corset-style bodice cinches the waist, creating a flattering, structured line that contrasts beautifully with the soft, flowing fabric of the skirt. The deep, plunging neckline and delicate tie-front detail add a touch of playful flirtation, while the puffed, ruffled skirt gives the dress a light, ethereal quality. It’s a dress that feels like it could belong on a stage—or at a tea party.
