Out from under the shutdown, we all might be enjoying some time away from Netflix, all of our devices, for the summer. But for the next few days, at least you can get a good sense of what is on and coming from the streaming service and bolster what you want to binge when you sit down to watch your favorite geeky fare
As we span the news feed looking for recent alternate wardrobe moments, sexy latex styles, and all manner of the latest haute couture trends, we came across three breezy little stories this week. The trio of young divas, Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, and Billie Eilish, happen to be leading the pack both with what …
U.K. activist Carrie Symonds may be bucking convention herself with her wedding dress choice. She married U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson over the weekend wearing a rented wedding dress.
A new exhibit featuring Prince’s shoes opens July 9th at the musician’s infamous Paisley Park music/performance/living complex, a “place where art, music, fashion, and culture are celebrated, energized, and inspired by the visionary creative spirit of Prince.”
This past Saturday, during his appearance on Saturday Night Live’s 46th season finale, the “Old Town Road” singer revealed more than he wanted to. In the midst of the sexy all-male revue of dancers around him, and while performing his already controversial “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” Lil Nas X backed up to the stripper pole on a platform behind him to begin showing off his skills dancing against the prop.
Alas, we weren’t treated to our favorite textile, but there were some fun wardrobe choices to look at during both the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards this past Sunday and the first-of-its-kind award show, the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards: UNSCRIPTED that followed the next night.
What makes this fast-moving 5-episode bio series much fun is how much we learn about the iconic designer as well as how every actor here chews the scenery in a way that’s endearing and never off-putting.
Minaj has such star-power influence that her post saw Croc sales rise by 4,900 % and caused the shoe brand’s website to shut down. While the phrases “pink Crocs” and “Nicki Minaj Crocs” instantly became trending searches on Google.
Yes, we’ll concede that the attention this time wasn’t on some wonderful latex mini, but surely we celebrate Miley’s ‘boob shirt’ as well as her for wearing it.
But what it seems Eilish wants to portray most, as has always been the case for her, is body positivity. As she relates in the interview alongside these shots: “My thing is that I can do whatever I want. It’s all about what makes you feel good. If you want to get surgery, go get surgery. If you want to wear a dress that somebody thinks that you look too big wearing, f*** it – if you feel like you look good, you look good.”
Some time ago, Dawnamatrix blasted off into the galaxy with our Space and Time Collection (see here). It seems that Pierre Louis-Auvray has the universe on his mind as well. And Dojo Cat found her love of the cosmos this week, posting a picture of herself wiggled into a meshed galaxy Pierre Louis-Auvray ‘bodycon’ long sleeve dress.
One could pine for the shows of old, genial hosts telling silly running jokes, and over-the-top over-long musical number, maybe a music star wearing some lace or latex couture, but the 2021 Academy Awards wasn’t anything like shows of old.
hen again, we’ll probably see the usual display of high styles, certainly over a rash of stars wearing latex corsets! Whoopie Goldberg, who has won an Oscar in 1991 as well as hosted the show, graces Vanity Fair’s pre-Oscar issue in high-end haute couture; wearing a voluminous black gown and equally full draping pale blue coat, pink scarf, and white felt fedora.
So, you think all the skin-tight latex wardrobes, slightly (sometimes more than slight) sexually alternative references and daring male/female interplay of comic-dom are the purview of guys alone? Well, meet Joye Hummel Murchison Kelly, the first woman to write scripts for the Wonder Woman comic-book franchise. Nineteen-years-old in March of 1944, Joye Hummel, as the …
Cardi B designs for lady athletes, Katy Perry sporting some delicious latex, recognition for costume designers, and some museum exhibitions, top another news round-up for this week. Cardi B’s collaboration with Reebok, a line of lady curve-hugging athletic wear, goes on sale next week (4/23). Tagged with the line “Hot and Unbothered,” this new collection features …
In addition to this clip and the collaboration between Lady Gaga and Dom Pérignon that will follow on from it, a limited-edition sculpture will be offered for sale (only 110 pieces to be precise) created by Lady Gaga and the vintage champagne company of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2006. Money made from the sale of this exclusive piece will go to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation.
Khloé Kardashian inadvertently posted an unedited bikini pic taken over Easter Weekend. The ‘mistake’ photo, posted on Twitter, was quickly taken down, but not without plenty of Kardashian fans grabbing a screenshot of it and sharing it.
A codpiece, a knife hidden in a walking stick, some bowler hats, leather and lace accessorizing, and the smart swift addition of a fake eyelash; we all well remember, Alex and his Droogs from Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. It seems Alex and his team have stepped forward a bit, seen quite prominently as they …
Via our friends at The Fetishistas website, we learned this week that Munich’s huge and yearly BoundCon has now been moved from May 2021 to June…2022. The event, the 27th in the series, was supposed to happen in about a month (it’s already been moved once from its original date) to now set for a year from now when the organizers hope they can assure maximum health for all attendees.
Lil Nas X has teased “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” online for months. It even appeared in a LogiTech Super Bowl ad this year and song’s title is a reference to the Oscar-winning gay romance Call Me By Your Name. Lil Naz X, who came out last year on the last day of Pride month, is undoubtedly declaring his pride over his sexuality in the many scenes here, from lap-dancing with the king of the underworld, to wearing haute couture, dreadlocks and some of the most scrumptious wigs a male rapper has dared wear yet in a video.
Adopting pretty much the same pose, in precisely the same outfit, Goldie realized The Material Girl had simply taken Goldie’s picture and pasted her head over Goldie’s! Goldie shared the photo on her own Instagram in 2017, saying,” Two years today since queen @madonna used a photo of me on her Instagram with her face photoshopped onto it. Still, the best/weirdest/funniest thing to ever happen to me.’
One of the more startling transformations (not that all the above drag queens did not all outfit themselves wonderfully!) Jackie Cox paid homage to an iconic woman from the Trek universe, who will now get her full due on the new Star Trek; Strange New Worlds (yes, to be seen on Paramount+), “Number One.”
As to be expected, we love it when some latex outfit, or a cool piece of wardrobe makes a cultural statement. Whether being introduced in a new haute couture collection or worn on some performer’s body, almost daily we see, read and are delighted by some news about another alternative or sexy outfit sparking the zeitgeist worn by one of our brightest, best and most popular.
The NCOSE said that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s performance of “WAP” at the Grammy’s “….could have been cut from a hardcore pornography film” and also “…contributed to the sexual exploitation of women by glamorizing prostitution and stripping.” Maybe they didn’t like the huge stiletto on stage or the bed, or what Cardi and Mega Thee Stallion did on that bed.
Opening in November, the new film, directed by Ridley Scott, stars Gaga as Maurizio Gucci’s ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani. Adam Driver plays Maurizio Gucci, the Italian fashion house boss who was assassinated in 1995. Reggiani was convicted of orchestrating his shooting and sentenced to 29 years for the crime.
Doja Cat takes the popular TikTok silhouette challenge to the extreme, wearing a combination of latex, lace, and leather in her new “Streets” video. The song from her Hot Pink album released two years ago gets a full steamy treatment in this new video directed by Christian Breslauer and starring actor Kofi Siriboe.

The digital animations included feature original songs by Italian composer Luca Longobardi. and VIP ticket holders can experience an additional ten-minute virtual reality section of the exhibition, what is being called ‘a day in van Gogh’s life.’
Although Cynthia Erivo’s shoes were, without a doubt, fantastic, alternative, and probably more than slightly dangerous to walk in, Laura Dern certainly brought her A-game when it came to her shoe wear. Wearing a tailored Givenchy pantsuit/tux, the Twin Peaks/Big Little Lies actress accessorized in pumps with sharp pointy toes and metallic silver studs all around them.
Luscious liquid latex are the three words that first come to mind when viewing Chloe x Halle’s just dropped “Ungodly Hour” video. The sister singing sensation that just revealed separate Instagram portals is still very much together in this clip, revealing a whole bunch of sleek couture, starting off what seems to be about seven costume changes wearing gorgeous latex wardrobe.
Whether this deaccessioning will act as a salve on the open wound of low attendance (or no attendance) due to social distancing rules or something institutions like the MET become all too dependent on, no one knows.
Not so much latex, but plenty of lingerie can be seen—and drooled over—in Ariana Grande’s new music video for her 34+35 Remix. Featuring Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion alongside her, the trio of modern-day divas brings intimate couture to a whole other level, leaving their fans, as well as even causal fashionistas, breathless. We …
Even during these social distancing days, celebrities are flashing latex dresses, sky-high heels, PVC couture, or leather. It’s not that we catch every post or video, but here’s some of what flittered by our notice last week to satiate our sartorial splendor. Titled the “Icy Park” collection, the third salvo-across-the-bow of Ivy Park’s collaboration with …
We proudly (and pretty much try humbly to) boast of providing latex wardrobe and accessories for photo shoots, runway gatherings, movies, and TV. Shows. It’s also fun when we get to be involved in music videos. You can see a good range of Dawnamatrix Designs in the new Ingrid Chavez lyric video of her remake of Madonna’s “Justify My Love.”
Halfway into her show Miley kept to the football-themed costume, slipping into a sequined football jersey, complete with shoulder pads and matching high-waisted white pants. She accessorized with the certainly non-field worthy black stilettos. At this juncture, she welcomed Joan Jett to duet on “Bad Karma” and “Bad Reputation.”
We can always expect wild latex couture, naughty leather and lace combos and all manner of alternative accessorizing from our divas. Young and old alike, either performing on stage, creating too-hot-to-handle video clips, twirling around their bedrooms for their Twitter feed or in poses for new albums, causal onlookers and fans alike are still surprised …
But this front-row celebrity array did not compare to the highlight of the shows (or at least what the blog-sphere was on about this week). Demi Moore opened the Fendi show by walking down their runway (Naomi Campbell closed the show), with Bella Hadid, Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, and Christy Turlington also appearing for the brand.
