Here's a trend we didn't really see coming: Summer sequins. Earlier this month both Dakota Johnson and Daisy Edgar Jones stepped out at various Cannes events in gritty-hued sequins, both from Gucci. And while we thought this was a red carpet only trend, Wales Bonner and Adidas's latest collaboration has proven otherwise. In a first for the fairly long-standing collaboration (since 2020) Wales Bonner has designed an entirely new trainer silhouette, rather than reimagining an Adidas classic.

Few things feel more all-American than a good pair of blue jeans—specifically Levi’s. And while you can’t mess with a classic, there’s always room for experimentation. Sometimes, as with the Levi’s x Sacai capsule, the outcome surpasses even the highest expectations. Launching on May 28, the new assortment—which first debuted in Sacai’s spring/summer 2025 menswear runway show—features a handful of the most iconic silhouettes to come from the denim brand.

Last week in Florence, within the storied walls of the 15th-century Palazzo Settimanni—home to the Gucci archive—the house’s cruise 2026 collection unfolded in a luxurious display of expert colour pairings, retro tailoring, and extravagant accessories. The styling was impeccable, delivering look after look destined for the red carpet. Though officially credited to the in-house studio team behind the fall/winter 2025 season, the collection bore traces of Demna’s aesthetic.

The precision of the Wes Anderson aesthetic is legend. The costumes, the pans, the delivery of unsmiling characters, and, of course, the sets. Anderson’s newest film, The Phoenician Scheme is no exception. In Anderson and Roman Coppola’s movie, out May 30, Benicio del Toro plays Anatole “Zsa-zsa” Korda, a “ruthless, charismatic business tycoon,” according to the production notes, whose magnetism is matched only by his inscrutability. Picture a 20th-century robber baron-slash-visionary.

Your best friend or your office work partner is about to get married. You excitedly rip open the gorgeously designed wedding invite only to scrunch your face in confusion. Formal or Black-Tie Optional? Semi-formal? White Tie? What do any of these words even mean? Dressing for a wedding or special occasions can be tricky, especially if they're not yours. After all, there's a very fine line between dressing up as a means of respect to the person who invited you, and overshadowing them stylistically.
