Culling through the latex, lace, PVC, and just about every other textile possibility that could be used to create this year’s Halloween costumes (or accessories), we’ve looked around a bit at what might be trending. From blog spots like Halloweentools, to Variety weighing in as well as one of the many online costume shops, here …
‘Smart fabrics,’ 3D printing, laser cutting, all manner of new colors and textures; we have seen plenty of technology influence our latex designing.

Calling it out herself, Dakota Johnson said, “I’m doing what I always do on my birthday, which is stand in midtown in a tight-ass latex dress looking for attention,” before returning to Saturday Night Live this past Saturday to host the show for the third time. And wearing a stunning red Versace mini, made of …
We have pontificated plenty over amazing stage costumes, be they latex, lace…or anything really.

Yes, it is that time of year when we once again pore over the VMA’s to see if there was a lick of latex in what the attendees were wearing. Surely there’s been lots of the very best alternative fashions shown at this show (Lil’ Kim in her lavender mermaid bodysuit with shell pasties, Lady …
We, the poor, downtrodden latex faithful saw no big, or even small, mention of our favorite textile making fashion news this week. But this week we’ve put together a round-up of three of our more popular S’s making fashion news Sydney Sweeney, Shakira, and Taylor Swift. Nothing Earth-shattering here, but fun all the same. Sydney …
London Fashion Week 2026 might prove better than any of us could have hoped, with lactation, OnlyFans, and our beloved latex styling making an appearance this year. Lactation On The Runway Di Petsa sent Leigh-Anne Pinnock down the runway, as much baring her ‘baby bump’ as sporting a “lactating top.” Currently expecting her third child …
With a blue ‘red carpet’ celebrating host network NBC’s 100th anniversary, the 2026 Emmys landed upon us Monday of this past week, with nary a latex outfit seen. Even host Mariska Hargitay’s many changes during the night didn’t hint at our favorite textile. But we are humble enough to highlight some of the fashions seen …
One would assume that Bob Mackie had to have worked with latex a time or two. The amazing fashion designer and costumier, arguably best known for working with Cher and Carol Burnett, died yesterday at the age of 87. Known by the monikers “Sultan of Sequins,” “Rajah of Rhinestones,” and the “Guru of Glitter,” Mackie …

God knows there were rhinestones and tattered lace, and we’d have to guess a fair amount of latex as well. When we come to consider two icons that died this week–and on the same day–Dolly Parton and Tim Curry (an odd pairing to be sure), we can as much consider their immense and unique talents …
As we have said on plenty of occasions, the latex gifts for us keep a’gifting’ when it comes to the World of Wearable Art competition. And this was certainly evident at Tampa’s Dunedin Fine Art Center’s sold-out ‘Wearable Art’ 2oth anniversary show last Saturday. As this article clearly shows, the DFAC enjoyed yet another sold-out …
We came across this blog on the WearLatex blog/video site: LatexVideos.com | Is it Latex or Not: Oops I Did It Again, and it begs a good question.

Even a casual latex fashionista parent finds it hard to keep their attention on anything but back-to-school concerns come August.

Celebrating her 29th birthday, Kylie Jenner might dress up a bit… and in latex. Seeing Alicia Silverstone in her famous Clueless skirt and top reinforces that true beauty is always present within us.

We all know cosplay is not just about rendering some latex wardrobe accessory to fit the specific confines of a convention costume you are preparing to wear. It’s as much about showing off one’s talent and aplomb as it is about enjoying a comradery, in person, with persons you might not have known previously or …

Over a long weekend where latex costumes, PVD cosplay and all manner of home-made props reign, it’s interesting to note what makes San Diego’s Comic-Con 2026 fashion no-nos.

No, it’s not some sexy latex top or a flash of Shania Twain’s undies that landed on the sartorial-radar-of-controversy the beginning of this week. It seems Jennifer Lopez made a statement wearing an oversized hat at the Wimbledon men’s final this past Sunday. Sitting in the Royal Box at the All-England Club’s Centre Court, the …
Teyana Sits Slow Never one to miss a chance at wearing something interesting (to say the least) Teyana Taylor had to execute a slow descent to her seat at Paris Fashion Week, this past week.

As she’s not wearing our favorite textile, we can’t weigh in with how she looks in latex. But some recent designer stage outfits Shania Twain wore while opening for Harry Styles during his London concerts (the 12-night run of these shows stretch until 7/4), have earned the 60-year Shania some attention. And it is surely about her …
