Out of all the movies/theatre productions to appear over the past few decades that explore camp, latex, corsets, and the freedom to ‘don’t dream it, be it,” Rocky Horror reigns supreme. Richard O’Brien’s unique romp-of-a-show that rose from a UK cult musical playing in the small upstairs space of the Royal Court Theatre in London, …
As you can see from this post (which includes a picture of our latex couture creation ‘Tsukomogami’, the 2025 Supreme WOW Supreme Award winner at the top of the article) tickets are now on sale for the WOW (World of WearableArt show) returning to Wellington this year, 9/17 to 10/4. This year’s show, 2026 WOW Show: …
Any latex designer worth their shiny stuff would know it can as much be the model, make-up, the location, the outfit and surely the lighting that can make or break a hoped-to-be great latex red-carpet reveal. Luckily in our history we have had all of these facets working in harmony when we have sent a …
There is no denying the mad rush of paparazzi and fans to see who is wearing what (be it some smashingly sexy latex outfit or not) to the yearly Academy Awards. And while surely last Sunday there was a lot to be seen, commented on and for some, even salivated over, we prefer to stake …
It’s quite interesting from a latex designer’s point of view when someone poses for a Vanity Fair cover and garners a bunch of controversy, but not from what they are wearing. Kylie Jenner is facing criticism over the new cover just ‘dropped, from the fact that she is seemingly smoking a cigarette on the front …
Our friends over at Latex24/7 have just announced an upcoming Latex Fashion Awards. The upcoming celebration, with no date as of yet set, would indeed be, as L247 claims, the “world’s first latex fashion awards.” This all got us thinking, “Hey, there never has been an award show just for our favorite textile. And furthermore, …
Fashion bits and pieces, as much about latex as about alternative looks and even a possible celebrity impersonation, make this fashion blog round-up. Teyana Taylor and Jenna Ortega at the 32nd Actor Awards One can become all too exhausted from the numerous award shows held this time of year, even with the possibility of celebrities …
Despite some controversy John Davidson engendered this year, it does seem that we can still gush a bit about The Brit Awards’ latex wardrobe red carpet reveals. And given how so many latex wearers are also fans of fantasy and science fiction, who won what at this year’s VES Awards were of interest as well. …
Once you step past the catty dialogue, look across the fabulous outfits for a hint of latex couture (there isn’t any) and take a breath over the fact that all the same principles seem to be back; one can truly appreciate the just-dropped Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer. Premiering in theaters May 1, we get …
Wishing, as we always do, that we might see some latex among all the celebrities who walk its red carpet, we’re not sure how to take the announcement of the official 2026 Met Gala dress code this year being “Fashion Is Art.” A natural couture outgrowth of the museum’s Costume Art exhibition, opening on the …
Reading this fashion news post today: EBay Acquires Depop from Etsy for $1.2 Billion, made me think of something I wonder often: where are people buying latex these days? As you’d be able to tell with even a cursory read of this blog, we enjoy a healthy competition with our fellow latex designers and retailers. …
From the sexy and short wedding dress Madonna wore during her 1984 “Like a Virgin” performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Elvis Presley’s white and glittery “Aloha from Hawaii” jumpsuit, or Lady Gaga channeling Queen Elizabeth wearing red latex Victorian style when performing at the Royal Variety Show, the world has been treated to …
Whether it was the nude Marina Hoermanseder dress she just wore to Grammys 2026 or the new pic she posted for her latest music collab with Diplo, we have seen lots of Heidi Klum in latex in the past few weeks. And really, what could be better? Hoermanseder actually shared some behind-the-scenes of Heidi and …
It surely will be a great weekend to get out your red latex catsuit, some pants, or a fire-engine colored latex bra. You might also be able to pair your latex outfit with one of Sydney Sweeney’s new Syrn pieces. And if you have time to slip in and out of your catsuit or pants, …
Say it isn’t so…latex at Paris Fashion Week? Ok, this isn’t the first time we saw our favorite textile on the runway at a major fashion show. But at Paris Fashion Week, latex couture was featured in a collection by designer Arthur Avellan and Sextou included latex elements in their wardrobe at a huge party …
Latex, lace, leather, and copious amounts of skin, along with protest buttons; attendees did not disappoint in what they wore to the 68th Grammy Awards. Celebrities attending this latest version of the granddaddy music celebration gave us a whole lot to look at and post about…and we got to enjoy a grand latex couture moment …
We surely have enjoyed a good amount of celebrated latex outfits. From Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala Thierry Mugler dress. To both Michelle Pfeiffer and Zoe Kravitz sporting a black latex catsuit in their take on Catwoman. And then there was the military-inspired latex mini, Katy Perry wore in 2010 at the VH1 Divas Salute The …
And here we thought celebrities wearing sexy latex outfits might sometimes garner controversy. It seems Sydney Sweeney did so (again) just a few days ago, hanging some bras on the iconic Hollywood sign. To be specific, dressed in a black baseball cap, Sweeney placed a handful of bras on the ‘H’ of the 103-year-old landmark …
Is anybody surprised that the latest tech has intruded into latex couture? Chat GPT, computer-generated images, and all types of modern digital advancements have been a welcome bedfellow to the world of fashion for years. That we currently see a deeper, barely detectable AI infiltration into the sartorial space shouldn’t be surprising. And upon tripping …
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 …
We have been to the wonderful Wear Latex site often, to keep up on what’s happening with our favorite textile, what’s being seen across red carpets, runways, events and who is wearing what wear where. 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. In one, she is wearing some heart-stopping latex lingerie. If this woman hasn’t made a statement before, and she did as a finalist on Canada’s So You …
