Sofia Carson unveils a new style narrative for Billboard Italia, fusing tailored power dressing with the unapologetic swagger of street style—a move both audacious and utterly chic.
There is a certain magic that happens when an artist’s personal style begins to truly reflect their creative identity. For Sofia Carson, who has long navigated the worlds of music and cinema, her latest editorial for Billboard Magazine Italia in August 2025 feels like a sartorial manifesto. It is here that she unveils a new kind of power dressing—one that is unafraid to mix the high-fashion atelier with the rebellious spirit of the street. It’s a very modern rebellion, non?
The editorial is a study in purposeful contrasts. In one shot, she commands the frame in a black leather jacket and wide-leg trousers. The jacket, worn off the shoulders, is a raw, sensual statement, beautifully undone. But it’s the snakeskin boots that truly make the look—a flash of danger, of decadent, unapologetic texture. In another moment, she adopts a structured tweed suit, its classic silhouette reinterpreted with a clean, moto-inspired jacket. It’s a look that feels both timeless and perfectly now, a tribute to the icons of old but with a decidedly fearless edge.
And then, there’s the cover look.
This is where the magic truly unfolds. Carson wears a stunning, oversized burgundy suit—its rich, dark color and powerful tailoring are nothing short of cinematic. But the stroke of genius? The pairing with a pair of simple, retro-inspired Adidas sneakers. It’s a moment of whiplash chic —the elegance of haute tailoring colliding head-on with the raw authenticity of street style. It’s a look that makes you stop and think, that challenges the old rules of formal wear.
The entire shoot is a testament to her versatility. From the sleek, striped shirt and wide-leg trousers to the bold, all-leather ensemble, every image reinforces the idea that her style, much like her career, is defined by its ability to effortlessly bridge two worlds. It is the perfect visual representation of the magazine’s own tagline, “Una stella fra cinema e musica” —a star between cinema and music. And in this case, her style is the ultimate stage.
A trio of style provocateurs (and one legendary director) recently descended on Sydney’s iconic harbor for a high-concept fashion shoot, fusing gothic romance with a slick, urban sensibility.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge, with its imposing steel lattice, made a dramatic backdrop for a fashion story that felt more cinematic than a simple celebrity photoshoot. As part of a whirlwind promotional “Doom Tour,” Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, and Gwendoline Christie, along with Tim Burton (not pictured), brought their distinctive aesthetics to the Australian waterfront, creating an atmosphere that was part moody fairytale, part high-fashion noir.
Gwendoline Christie commands the frame with her regal presence, a modern monarch in a sharp, slate-gray suit. The tailored jacket and skirt, paired with pristine white gloves, evoke a sense of Old Hollywood glamour—a quiet power against the industrial canvas of the bridge. It’s a study in controlled elegance, a look that says everything without raising its voice.
Next to her, Jenna Ortega embodies a wilder, untamed spirit. Her black leather dress and platform boots—a whiplash chic combination of tough and feminine—are anchored by a striking, shaggy white and black fur coat. The texture of the coat, a tactile rebellion against the slick backdrop, gives the look a playful ferocity.
Emma Myers mirrors the fur motif with a similar-textured gray and white sleeveless top, which she pairs with wide-leg trousers. Her styling is a study in laid-back cool, a softer counterpart to Ortega’s edge. The three women together—a trinity of strength, rebellion, and understated chic—created a powerful tableau against the glimmering water.
Sofia Carson debuts an editorial for Numéro Netherlands, trading in her signature romantic glamour for a series of powerful, sculptural looks that command the frame with cinematic force.
There comes a time in every star’s journey where the aesthetic must evolve. It’s a risk, a delicate balance between reinvention and losing what made you compelling in the first place. But for Sofia Carson, in her new Numéro Netherlands digital editorial for August 2025, that evolution is nothing short of a masterful coup. Shot by Alan Gelati, the series is a stark, almost cinematic turn—a beautiful study in tailoring and shadow that feels both timeless and aggressively modern.
Carson debuts a series of looks that are a complete departure from the polished, princess-like dresses we’ve come to expect. Take, for example, the pinstripe suit. It’s an impeccable piece of tailoring: a wide-shouldered, double-breasted jacket and wide-leg trousers that fall with a perfect, clean line to the floor. She stands with her hands in her pockets, an easy confidence radiating from the pose. This isn’t just a suit; it’s a statement about power.
Then, the narrative shifts again, as she unveils a look that feels plucked from a classic noir film. She wears a crisp white shirt with a black bow tie, cinched at the waist with a wide, dramatic obi belt. A wide-brimmed hat casts a shadow over her face, adding to the mystique. It’s a playful nod to menswear, a brilliant subversion that feels entirely fresh. There is a sense of cinematic storytelling here, where every accessory—every crease of the fabric—is intentional.
Finally, she takes on a coat with an animal-like pattern, draped loosely over her shoulders, revealing a strong silhouette and bare skin beneath. It’s a delicate balance, a study in a new kind of glamorous ease that is both sensual and powerful. The styling cohesion is a masterstroke: throughout the series, her hair is sleek and straight, her makeup sharp and refined.
