Tessa Thompson, Sydney Sweeney, and Jennifer Lawrence stunned in show-stopping gowns at the 2025 Governor’s Awards.

Long before the Oscar season officially begins, the Governor’s Award, an annual formal dinner is held in celebration of iconic Hollywood stars. This year was no exception as it honored Debbie Allen, Tom Cruise, Wynn Thomas and Dolly Parton on the 16th of November 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

The 16th edition of the Governor’s Award, hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) was held in the Ray Dolby Ballroom, Los Angeles with multiple outlets confirming three Honorary Oscars and a Parton’s Humanitarian Award to Dolly Parton.

The energy was over the roof and here are pieces that deserve a standing ovation:

Jennifer stepped out in a beautiful flowing dress from the Tamara Ralph 2025 collection. Her strapless dress had a sweetheart neckline which she finished the look with long, black gloves.

The contrast between black and champagne cream was truly a creative work of fashion.

Jennifer Lawrence

Tessa brought in an energetic vibe with a dash of bold color. She styled a vibrant flowing red dress from Valentino’s RE25 collection complete with off-shoulder sleeves and Grecian-inspired bodice.

What set Tessa’s look apart was how well the look commanded attention, from bold colors to the intricate design,

In one of the most spectacular looks of the event, Chase wore a white piece by Louis Vuitton with a white sleeveless top and matching inverted ball skirt with fringes.

Her look easily earned its place among the best dressed for its spectacular creativity and elegance.

Ariana Grande

Ariana wore a vintage dress from Christian Dior collection. Her pale pink flowing dress had a bold strap over the shoulder and resembled a saree with gathered fabric at the hip.

The look impressed first because the dress was an archival piece from Galliano’s tenure at Dior and also because she also leaned into “Glinda” aesthetic for the upcoming Wicked series.

Damson Idris

Damson Idris stepped out looking sharp in a rich chocolate-brown double-breasted tuxedo by Ralph Lauren. His look featured satin lapels, a black bow tie for a jot of finesse and black shoes.

Co-star for The Wicked series, Cynthia Erivo, wore a custom-made dress by Loewe from its 2025 Spring Summer Collection. The dress featured layers of crepe and satin with floral prints and featherworks.

This dress caught our attention for its fresh interpretation of method dressing, especially for the series Wicked which Erivo plays with Ariana Grande. This green-themed gown was one of the many tour dresses and signified her character, Elphaba’s signature color.

Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson

Kendall Jenner Closes Out Bottega Veneta Show

Published

Kendall Jenner was the final model on the runway at Bottega Veneta’s Spring/Summer 2027 show in Milan on September 26, wearing an all-black look. Sitting in the front row was actor Jacob Elordi, the Bottega Veneta ambassador and Jenner’s boyfriend, who watched as she made her way down the runway.

Jenner wore a floor-length black gown with an asymmetrical, draped construction. The dress gathered at the bodice and hips, with a long panel falling down one side and a pronounced shoulder adding volume to the look. She paired the dress with black open-toe heels and wore her hair straight and centre-parted.

Her appearance marked a return to the Bottega Veneta runway. Jenner first walked for the Italian house in 2016, making her latest appearance there a decade after her first show for the brand.

The runway moment also came at the end of Louise Trotter’s latest collection for Bottega Veneta. For Spring/Summer 2027, Trotter looked at the transition between seasons, exploring the point between heavier winter dressing and the lighter clothes associated with spring and summer.

That idea played out through the clothes and materials. The collection opened with outerwear featuring padded shoulders and knotted hems, followed by looks in lilac, butter yellow, red and floral prints. Later, handmade lace, openwork crochet and large-scale intrecciato brought lighter textures into the collection, while leather remained an important part of the lineup.

Bottega Veneta’s signature intrecciato weave also appeared in different forms, including leather scarves wrapped around the waist, woven boots and large bags. Trotter also expanded the use of raffia and leather for oversized tote shapes, adding a softer, more summery feel to the house’s familiar craftsmanship.

The show attracted a notable front row, with Elordi seated alongside Solange and Tyler, the Creator. Julianne Moore was also among the guests in attendance. Elordi has represented Bottega Veneta as a brand ambassador since 2024.

Elordi’s attention was particularly noticeable when Jenner appeared on the runway. Footage from the show showed the actor using a film camera to photograph her as she walked past. His interest in photography is well documented, and he has been seen with a collection of vintage film cameras and regularly photographs friends and behind-the-scenes moments.

Jenner and Elordi were first linked in April 2026 after being seen together around Coachella. The pair have since been spotted together in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Australia and London. The pair had been getting to know each other privately before their relationship became public.

This time, however, the two found themselves at the centre of attention from opposite sides of the Bottega Veneta runway, with Jenner closing the show and Elordi watching from the front row.

Donatella Versace Launches New Brand With Revolve Group

Published

on

Donatella Versace is returning to the creative side of fashion with a new venture spanning fashion and beauty, developed in partnership with Los Angeles-based Revolve Group. The independent business will be built around Versace’s personal creative vision and is intended to connect with a younger generation through style, culture, entertainment and digital commerce.

The announcement comes more than a year after Versace stepped down as chief creative officer of the Versace fashion house in March 2025, a position she had held since the death of her brother, Gianni Versace, in 1997. She subsequently became the brand’s chief brand ambassador.

Versace’s departure from creative role came during a broader repositioning of the fashion house under Capri Holdings.

Prada Group completed its acquisition of Versace in December 2025, bringing the fashion house under new ownership after a period of creative change. Dario Vitale had taken over from Versace as creative director, but left the role after one season, with Pieter Mulier later appointed as his successor.

Her latest project gives Versace a separate platform to develop her own creative direction across fashion and beauty. The new venture will also benefit from Revolve’s established digital platform and reach across international markets.

Founded by Michael Mente and Mike Karanikolas in 2003, Revolve Group has grown into a major online fashion and lifestyle retailer, with its Revolve platform focused on established brands and Fwrd dedicated to emerging labels. The company reported $1.23 billion in revenue in 2025.

Revolve has moved into beauty and other areas through partnerships with figures including Cardi B and Sofia Richie Grainge.

For the new venture, Revolve says its technology, infrastructure and global reach will support Versace’s creative direction. The project is intended to operate independently rather than as an extension of the existing Versace fashion house.

At 71, Versace remains a highly recognisable figure in fashion and popular culture. With more than 12 million followers on Instagram, Versace remains a familiar face to younger fashion audiences, who continue to engage with her signature style and extensive archive.

Her influence has also extended into contemporary celebrity fashion. Zendaya recently wore a 2016 Atelier Versace design during the Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour, while Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Lopez have both revisited archival Versace looks for major public appearances.

Lopez’s connection to the house goes even further back, the green Versace dress she wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards became one of the most recognisable red-carpet looks in fashion history and is widely associated with the development of Google Image Search.

The new brand will initially target markets across the United States, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Its name has not yet been revealed.

The first products are expected to arrive in 2027, with the project set to extend beyond traditional fashion collections into entertainment and other areas of culture.

For Versace, the partnership marks a new chapter in her career, bringing together her longstanding creative identity with Revolve’s digital capabilities and international platform.

Kim Kardashian Unveils the Vision Behind Skims’ New London Flagship

Published

g Kim Kardashian has opened the first standalone Skims store in the UK, giving the brand’s signature aesthetic a physical presence in London.

The 12,000-square-foot flagship on London’s Regent Street was designed with New York architect Rafael de Cárdenas, drawing heavily from Kardashian’s own minimalist interiors. The design continues that aesthetic with soft curves replacing sharp edges, while neutral tones, sculptural forms and seamless surfaces give the store a warm, residential feel.

That connection to her home is deliberate. When Skims launched in 2019, fittings happened in Kardashian’s closet and campaigns were shot in her home. She wanted the store to carry that same sense of intimacy.

“People seemed to like this clean, monochromatic aesthetic,” she told Wallpaper. “I wanted as much of the materiality from my home in the store, so it would still feel like it was part of that.”

Kardashian and de Cárdenas added warmth into the space through rounded forms, tactile materials and a subtle signature scent. At the center is a monumental female sculpture by artist Vanessa Beecroft.

“I want people to feel this is their safe space,” Kardashian said. The store is designed for customers to try on underwear, bras, and shapewear in an environment built around comfort and confidence.

The ground floor houses apparel and seasonal collections. Upstairs holds shapewear, alongside dedicated areas for menswear and NikeSkims. What started as a shapewear label has grown into a global brand offering intimates, apparel, activewear, menswear and NikeSkims.

In November 2025, Skims raised $225 million at a $5 billion valuation, with the company expecting to exceed $1 billion in net sales for 2025.

The London opening is another step in the brand’s expansion. On Regent Street, Skims is offering customers a full brand experience. It brings Kardashian’s vision for Skims into a physical setting, with a clean, body-focused design that is meant to feel comfortable and inviting.

For a brand that started in a closet, a 12,000-square-foot flagship on one of London’s most prominent shopping streets shows just how far Skims has come. The store brings the familiarity of Kardashian’s original vision into a much larger setting without losing the sense of comfort at the heart of the brand.
