For this first 2026 fashion news round-up, we once again feature Kylie in some latex, a new dress code for this year’s Actor Awards, and trends from the current Milan Fashion Week. We also bid farewell to Valentino Garavani. Kylie Again The just-released ‘mockumentary’ The Moment is a fictionalized rollout of singer Charli XCX’s Brat …
And here we thought Britney Spears would be the only one synonymous with a red latex catsuit iconic fashion moment. But it seems, Kylie Jenner, seemingly to pop up everywhere these days in some scrumptious wardrobe, latex or not (she wore a shimmering Ashi Studio gown at the just past Golden Globes) is making news …
Ok, there wasn’t exactly a ban on latex wardrobe at the 2026 Golden Globes, which aired this past Sunday. Still not one nominee, presenter, attendee or the show’s host (this year Nikki Glaser) took to wearing our favorite textile. Despite this, there were some interesting wardrobe choices to make note of from an alt. fashion …
Tis’ the season that just swung by us all, it was no surprise to find plenty of festive alternative clothing adorning our more famous celebrities’ equally famous frames, from lace, latex to leather. And when it came to the latex we read about in blogs, saw on TV shows and across TikTok, whether it was …
If she did nothing else, ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2026 commentator Roselyn Sánchez brought in the New Year with an undeniable look of her undeniably fantastic figure in some undeniably scrumptious latex couture. The Puerto Rican singer-songwriter, dancer, model (etc.) was featured in two equally stunning dresses across the …
There is no denying the comfortable bedfellows that latex styling and video make. Be it wild latex costuming in some just-dropped music video, some fan-shot stuff from a Lady Gaga concert, or an influencer showing off her curves in the latest latex mini. What we see 24/7 from our cell phone faces, displayed on TikTok …
With a neckline named after her (an off-the-shoulder swoop that exposes the wearer’s clavicles), iconic bikini power moments, mini-skirted flare, and that messy, yet sexy updo, Brigitte Bardot would have surely been comfortable in any of the latex couture she might have found in our catalogue. The ultimate ‘sex kitten,’ who died at the age …
We must admit that it is less about any latex news than the top picture of this blog from The Face, which had us jumping off from the piece’s 2025 year-in-fashion review. Agree with this round-up of fashion highlights for the past year or not (good highlights or bad), there’s no denying some of what …
A statement can be made as much by the costume or song a music guest wears/performs when appearing on Saturday Night Live as much as the latex mini dress they might snuggle up into for a video and promo for the late-night show. Which is just what Lily Allen did this past week for her …
Sorry, but it seems we don’t have any latex couture to report in this new sartorial round-up. But cosplayers and Batfans will be happy with the news below, as will those folks following Sydney Sweeney and Kate Winslet. Starting with Winslet. On the recent December 5th episode of The Graham Norton Show, the 50-year-old actress …
“I wear a latex dress at least once a week. Like, where do you guys think the baddie went?” Kylie Jenner made the above statement to Dazed Magazine last May, and whether she’s a ‘baddie’ or not, she surely does wear latex a lot. As do her sisters. And Kylie and her half-sister, Kim Kardashian, …
I might seem slightly early, but Bustle just posted this 7 Wedding Dress Trends You’ll See On Every Bride In 2026 and I thought I’d weigh in from the latex couture side of street. As even a Miranda Priestly can’t rightly predict what is going to be hot and what not (and not only for …
It’s sure easy to be distracted by the likes of Heidi Klum, whether she is teasing with blog snippets of her annal Halloween costume or wigging herself into another fetching piece of latex. Or even her most recent leather-and-lace look for Calzedonia, wearing burgundy-colored leather hotpants over lace tights. Below we take notice of the …
Even in this day and age of one story besting another in the blink-of-a-blog, we don’t really forget iconic couture, be it seen across a red carpet, on stage, or video, made of latex, leather, lace (or all 3). And when it comes to those outfits or costumes our favorite fantasy characters wear (especially when …
When it comes to our more fanciful latex fashions, it seems the Japan’s All-Female Wrestling League, Sukeban, keeps paying us dividends. As we first reported here https://dawnamatrix.com/news/sukeban/ I collaborated with fashion designer Olympia Le-Tan to help her create her designs in latex for the Harajuku Stars wrestlers. The all-Japanese, all-female wrestling league, named Sukeban, is attired in wildly …

At the beginning of this month, Wear Latex ran this wonderful piece about us winning the World of Wearable Art …
Yes, sometimes a piece of latex lingerie is all one needs to make a statement. Twenty-two-year-old Canadian singer Tate McRae just posted some pictures across her @/gavingram account.

Turning out in two latex outfits, Kylie Minogue showed up at the iconic UK Battersea Power Station last Thursday for a tree-lighting festival/sing-along.

Keeping up with couture from the yearly Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions (always a good chance to catch some latex couture on a rocker or two), looking into the just-released The Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser, and reporting on some wicked (but not exactly that Wicked) news is what this end-of-the-week news round-up …
There is no denying the often eye-arresting body display we can enjoy, wearing or looking at, latex couture. Our favorite textile is surely one of the best when it comes to showcasing curves, revealing specific body parts and surely adding yards to naughty cosplay dressing (and, making you sweat) All of these reasons (and more) …
With all we have been blogging about over the latex and other fantastic couture seen at various All’s Fair premiers, we were all recently treated to a little behind-the-scenes of the specifics of latex wear for those events.

As to be expected for this year’s All Hallow’s, the range of celebrity costumes, the textiles used in making them (yes, latex included) and the many posts about them enticed us all. Here is a run down of just a few. Let’s start with the celebrity grandghostie to it all, Heidi Klum. While teasing with …
Certain recent movies have become as much known for an actor wearing some wildly sexy outfit—latex, PVC or other—introducing a new star to the screen, catching the zeitgeist of a moment or some dialogue spoken that goes on to become iconic. One could most likely throw Jennifer’s Body onto this list. In that 2009 film …
Having not yet premiered (it does on Nov 4th), we really have no idea what latex couture, if any, we might see on the new Hulu series “All’s Fair.” But as we have read from the show’s costume designer Paula Bradley looking to reimagine “the lawyer aesthetic with tailored silhouettes, statement accessories, and confident, modern …
Launched four years ago, the Academy Museum Gala raises funds for the iconic LA museum, attracting a host of A-listers who attend in their finest attire, both with and without latex. And even without our favorite textile, the scene seen this past Saturday is worth noting a week later. From ‘classic’ Hollywood couture looks to …
Getting beyond Kim Kardashian ‘breaking’ the net last week with the release of SKIMS’s ‘merkin’ G-strings, or Al Pacino and Robert De Niro joining a Moncler fashion campaign, there was indeed fashion news that actually featured latex. One of our news items below features Kim’s close relative, another, a celebrity who seems to keep on …
Alas, there is always more lace than there would ever be latex, but there were plenty of wings, pop stars, and some sure firsts at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show unveiled last night.

Be it Daily News pics of cosplayers dressed in their latex, lace, and PVC, blogs about toy debuts, or celebrity-filled panels talked over on various YouTube shows, New York Comic Con 2025 just passed, and the reviews and reveals are in. As expected, when it comes to cosplay dress up, tons of fans came to …
Surely, there’s not a latex shirt to be found in this recent Etsy offering. But ‘Pharmacy Halloween’ shirts? It’s an interesting collection to be sure, and not one we had been privy to before. So, as we wrap up this month of Halloween costumes of all stripes (yes, more blogs are coming that cover the …
It’s never too late to either rock some latex couture, share a sexy pic on your Instagram draped in lace, or show off some classic Vegas showgirl costumes.

Basking though we are in the glow of our big WOW win (see here and here), we realize the latex wardrobe world keeps spinning regardless of anyone’s personal news. This last day of September, we wanted to report on a few stories of celebrities wearing latex at the end of this month. Across four sold-out …
As we proudly declared in our last blog, our latex design Tsukumogami won the big daddy Supreme WOW Award last week (as well as the Myths & Legends Section). Ben and I couldn’t be happier.

Yes, we have been regular finalists since 2017 at WOW, achieving eight finalist …
It took us some time to wiggle out of our latex corset, take a deep breath, and really consider the death of legendary fashion icon, Giorgio Armani. Armani died on September 4th at the age of 91, and below we lovingly consider the man with what we hope is a fitting tribute a few weeks …
