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:

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

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.

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

Jewelry and sunglasses drew from vintage rodeo buckles and Art Deco prints.

Ralph Lauren drew on signature craftsmanship, heritage, and collegiate style. The collection balanced classic American style with contemporary fits, featuring wider trousers proportions. Purple Label emphasized navy, indigo, and tactile surfaces with handcrafted details, while Polo pushed into a more playful register with rugby shirts, madras, camo trousers, field parkas, rowing blazers, gingham, and oversized bottoms.

The show was inspired by collegiate style and the gentleman athlete, with Ralph Lauren describing it as (“Dream Racers”). The brand doubled down on Milan as its permanent menswear runway, delivering timeless American luxury with elevated sporting aesthetics.

The presentation brought together purple Label and Polo Ralph Lauren on a single runway, highlighting the brand’s continued focus on tailoring, sportswear influences, and heritage craftsmanship

4 Streetwear Brands Driving Dubai’s Street Style Rise

Published

on

Photo: Instagram

Not long ago, the idea of Dubai as a streetwear city would have raised eyebrows. The city was known for luxury malls and designer labels, not the community-driven culture that streetwear grows from. That has changed.

The shift traces back to SOLE DXB, a festival that began in 2011 as a small sneaker fair expecting a modest crowd but drew nearly 1,000 attendees. By 2015, it had moved into Dubai Design District as a three-day event with hip-hop artists, exclusive drops, and a marketplace. From its stalls, a generation of local brands emerged with something to say. Here are four of them.

Shabab Intl.

Founded in 2014 by photographer Chebmoha, Shabab Intl. Its designs blend elements of cultural nostalgia with visual influences from regional cartoons and animation. it communicates through restraint and references that feel personal.

Its collaborations include a 2023 London pop-up with Hassan Hajjaj’s Andy Wahloo in support of disaster relief in Morocco and Libya, a Persian-inspired T-shirt with Berenjak Dubai, and tour merchandise with Canadian-Bahraini duo Majid Jordan featuring Arabic script and visuals from their music videos. Dua Lipa has worn the brand.

SN3 Studio

Founded by three friends, Ahmed Shareef, Abdallah Abbas, and Mahdi Jali. SN3 Studio builds its work around Sudanese heritage. Its Children of the Nile collection centers on the River Nile as a civilisational reference point. The brand plans to produce its collections entirely in Sudan, from cotton T-shirts to artisan printing, as a commitment to keeping traditional craft alive.

Precious Trust

Founded in 2018 by Algerian designer Wathek Allal, Precious Trust works with graphics, cuts, and hand-dyed pieces drawn from North African street culture. The label has built a following in Dubai and beyond, known for its spare aesthetic and the fact that it is produced locally with fairly paid tailors. It has shown at SOLE DXB and collaborated with SN3 Studio.

Peace Venue

Founded by UAE designer Abdullah and Dubai-based creatives. Peace Venue works in loose silhouettes, graphic T-shirts, and statement pieces. The brand partners with local artists and makers, and debuted its latest collection at SOLE DXB.

With residents from more than 200 nationalities, Dubai has become a place where creative influences intersect naturally. From Arabic calligraphy paired with Japanese design sensibilities to Gulf heritage reimagined through South American aesthetics, cultural fusion is part of the city’s identity. These four brands demonstrate that some of the most exciting fashion emerging from the Gulf is being designed and produced at home.

Louis Vuitton Launches Colour Blossom Watches Inspired by Its Signature Monogram Flower

Louis Vuitton is expanding its Colour Blossom jewellery collection into luxury watches with four new designs that blend fine jewellery styling with watchmaking.

The new collection was unveiled this week with house ambassador Ana de Armas leading the campaign photographed by Inez & Vinoodh. The Colour Blossom watches reimagine the brand’s iconic 1896 Monogram Flower design through 26mm cases featuring curved gemstone dials and elegant sculpted detailing.

Each watch takes a different direction. A steel model with a white mother-of-pearl dial and beige strap offers a more understated, everyday option, while a pink gold version combines blush-toned mother-of-pearl with a soft pink strap for a warmer, more delicate finish.

The most luxurious version features a white mother-of-pearl dial framed with over 100 brilliant-cut diamonds. Louis Vuitton sources materials like mother-of-pearl and amazonite used across select models layers before curving and hand-polishing them to fit the rounded cases.

A subtle rail-track minute marker is stamped directly into the stone, keeping the face clean while maintaining legibility. Even the crown is shaped like a flower, and the hands carry nail-inspired motifs referencing the house’s early luggage hardware.

Working with such delicate materials required adjustments on the technical side. The thin stone surfaces meant Louis Vuitton’s watchmaking team had to carefully cut into thin. Final finishing is handled at La Fabrique des Arts, the brand’s specialist crafts division.

The collection launches in boutiques on June 12, aimed at customers looking for a timepiece that functions equally as an accessory. It marks another step in Louis Vuitton’s push into Swiss-made watches and high jewellery, building on a motif that has remained central to the house since its early house history.
