Spandex trumps latex couture, but who cares when a T.V. show is as entertaining as GLOW? The explosively popular ladies wresting series premiers its 2nd season a few days before the 4th of July, and if the trailer or teaser is any indication the action and comedy this time hits, knocks down and for all intents and purposed pins the first season. What also seems to have been given an uptick is GLOW’s look.
When it comes to featuring latex couture and alternate fashions in her live performances and pretty much any place else we see her, Nicki Minaj is a queen. Yes, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, so many others singers and actresses wear latex bodysuits, tops and latex lingerie on stage, in their videos or just out and about town. But if you caught Nicki Minaj’s performances at the 2018 BET Awards just passed you’d have to admit this rapper/pop star is at the top of the heap when it comes to rockin’ latex.
We should all expect only the most colorful and stylish couture when it comes to Pride Weekends, with latex outfits, lace, and bright color cottons seen across our fine cities. Marches, parties and celebrations of purposefulness as well as celebratory fun is what the whole Pride Month is about and reflected on the streets of so many cities and in the hearts of so many people.
When it comes to the possibility of seeing latex couture, leather ensembles, completely alternative styles, and wild color, one can’t hope to do better than a MTV award show. The 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards, occurring this past Monday night, didn’t disappoint in wardrobe variety. We even managed to see some pieces that one might even consider actually alternative.
Currently working through the European stage of their huge On the Run Tour 11, Beyoncé and JAY-Z reveal a costume during the show that would even make a latex clothing devote stand-up and take notice. Interestingly enough, though we reported on the couture the couple is using in ORT11, one of the most unique (and downright sexy) dresses to take notice of appears only on video during the show.
A pop star need be forever challenging both their music and style and Taylor Swift seems to have been able to reinvent herself time and again, change music styles from country to pop to even sprinkling in some rap and she’s wearing some great stuff doing it.
To be sure, the cars are any amazing accompaniment to the couture and does make the Couture & Cars Fashion Show certainly something we love to be part of. The visual allure of vintage and modern exotic sportscars with models walking a runway among them is a match made in alt. fashion heaven. We know for instance, that the World of WerableArt’s museum, all the way over in New Zealand, featured a match-up of fashion designer’s clothing (our winning one included) with cars just recently and Mr. Bailey’s assumption that more men do attend these shows seems to be born out time and again when we have seen our couture matched with car culture.
Then throwing all this wardrobe mixing and matching asunder, Lady Gaga made an appearance at the One America Appeal concert with the five living ex-U.S. presidents. President George H.W. Bush, President George Bush, President Jimmy Carter, President Barack Obama, and President Clinton all attended the concert to help victims of recent hurricanes in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. And Gaga posed with the great men.
Proud as we were of attending, competing and winning with our latex outfits in last year’s World of Wearable Art Competition, you can bet we have entered the event for 2018. This actually marks WOW’s 3oth anniversary, so we are even happier (if that is possible) to have submitted for the show this special year.
