Over in the Big Apple, we’ve officially checked into the Met Gala. Year on year, the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art come to life on the first Monday of May. Like clockwork, a scintillating fleet of stars step out in their best-dressed garb for fashion’s biggest night—and 2025 was no different. This year, the dress code ‘Tailored for You’ came hand in hand with the Costume Institute’s latest spring exhibition, which was titled ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’.

Fashion is a weapon. The words of Donatella Versace has never rung truer than with the slogan tee. Over the decades, the simple notion of printing words on a t-shirt has been a humble yet impactful means of activism; a political weapon of choice that fires up a storm even behind closed doors. One can easily attribute the popularity of the slogan tee to the grande dame of political fashion herself, Katharine Hamnett.

We’ve seen the beauty realm evolve in a multitude of ways over the past decade. Long gone are the days when celebrity beauty ops would be dedicated solely to the red carpet with techniques used often obscured from the public eye. We’ve fast moved on to an aspirational age of social media: how-to tutorials by the professional artists themselves, established content creators sharing their own cosmetic hacks and even full-face routines by some of the biggest A-listers.

In the early days of 2023, the realms of K-pop and fashion seemed to propel forward faster than ever. A large part of it, attributed to the luxury fashion houses sweeping up the members of one of the biggest groups in the world—BTS. Week on week, there were announcements and concurrent front row appearances for the fashion shows at the time; Jimin for Dior, Suga at Valentino, and soon after, j-hope for Louis Vuitton.

“I don’t think starting your twenties is always filled with just beautiful and happy emotions; there’s also despair and failure. But I believe that all of that is what makes youth meaningful.” Aptly worded by Jihoon, it’s a refreshingly nuanced takeaway for the six members of TWS, namely Youngjae, Jihoon, Dohoon, Kyungmin, Hanjin, and Shinyu, who are all on the brink of their twenties, currently toeing the line between boyhood and adulthood.
Here’s why we’re aspiring towards the effortless wardrobe of Haim’s ‘single girl summer’

The virality of Haim’s ‘Relationships’ is understandable. Who knew every modern relationship could be encapsulated in all of three minutes? The hesitancy, the sensual, sweaty dancing in a club, the messy romantic prospects with a non-committal partner, the rolling around half naked in the heat of summer, the emotional unavailability, the getting back together, the almost breaking up again. The only unrealistic thing about the music video is wanting to call it off with a certain Drew Starkey.

There’s an art to achieving a flawless make-up finish. Not the everyday look you’ve been hashing together—those five-minute routines couldn’t possibly do it all—but the ones you put effort into when the hour calls for it. For polished skin, one might rely on an arsenal of sorts: a foundation which makes way for buildable yet breathable coverage to achieve a seamless base or a reliable concealer to belie any unwanted hyperpigmentation, dark circles and acne scars.

The past week has been a mighty switch-up for the inimitable septet that is XG, who’s just had their proper first taste of superstardom ever since their phenomenal festival stage in the desert. Namely, their Coachella debut.
