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 …
Wishing for some latex couture in the stories below we give you: the announcement of the upcoming Met Costume Institute exhibition, the stunning red-carpet fashions seen at the various Wicked: For Good premieres, and hearing of the return of L.A.’s most glamorous New Year’s parties. Firstly, the Met. The upcoming Spring exhibition at the Museum …
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. Pushing a red button atop a pedestal to set off sparks and the tree lighting, Kylie was wearing a shiny red latex dress cut to a mermaid skirt, with long sleeves. The …
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. In a TikTok video released from Kim Kardashian of what she called a “fashion emergency,” the Hulu …
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. It’s no secret that this infamous show is back! Although she has surely modeled for them before, Emily Ratajkowski made her …
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. And while Debbie Gibson, Madonna, and Taylor Swift represent different music and style sensibilities (and eras…no pun intended), all three ladies are showing some interesting couture choices …
Latex capes, lacey undies worn outside, gloves, hats, masks, and all manner of cosplay accessories…Halloween 2025 couture is coming. Websites from Better Home & Gardens to ones featuring “spicy” lingerie to the ubiquitous American holiday superstore Spirit Halloween, parodied in a recent SNL mockmercial, are weighing in early with their predictions on the most popular …
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. But seeing as we competed against 85 finalist entries created by 100 designers from 17 countries, across 25 awards, we thought …
We can proudly declare that once again one of our latex designs won at WOW. But this time, Ben and I won the top prize at the 2025 World of WearableArt (WOW) Awards, with our Tsukumogami taking home the competition’s Supreme WOW Award. 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 …
We can rightly assume that any broadcast music/fashion/see-and-be-scene will engender the ubiquitous ‘after-party,’ where fashions could range from latex, lace, leather…and pretty much anything else. Celebrities usually take these after-event occasions to really let loose their wardrobe creativity, or at least show more skin than they can on broadcast TV. And from rooftop parties to …
Focusing on three main ladies in this part two of our VMA 2025 couture coverage, we find none in latex. But surely, they made fashionistas and fans alike salivate with their incredible red carpet looks as well as stage costume fashions. In no particular order… Sabrina Carpenter walked the red carpet in a sheer crimson-colored …
It’s not that (once again) there was much latex couture for us to gush about (or any really), but there was a ton of fashion coming into the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York this past Sunday. And even without the latex, so much of that fashion was provocative and alternative, as we always expect …
As we said at the time, it’s not like Sydney Sweeney was strutting around in some sexy latex couture. But the “Euphoria” star debuted one of the most-talked-about commercials in recent discussion, with her American Eagle “genes” and “jeans” tagline heard around the world. And, as we see this week, there is no stopping good …
In our last blog, we reported on the initial fashions we were seeing at the Venice Film Festival, latex couture or not (and so far, not). And although we have had Emma Stone, Julia Roberts, Cate Blanchett, and so many more showing off stunning wardrobes, once again Kim Kardashian has seemed to have ‘broken’ sartorial …
