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 tour. Featuring actors like Alexander Skarsgård and Rachel Sennott, the film also features Kylie Jenner in her debut. Advertising that tickets for the film were on sale as of January 30th, Kylie and Charli took to Instagram wearing matching bikinis. Kylie’s was wearing a latex bikini— a triangle bikini top, and matching bottoms cut high on her hips—Charli was in a string bikini.
The Actor Awards
Once known as the SAG Awards, the Actor Awards, taking place on 3/1 (streaming at the same time on Netflix) has announced a dress code. This marks the first time this particular show has revealed a theme to influence what attendees will be wearing.
Marked with the fashion theme “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the ’20s and ’30s,” the show’s partner Elle Magazine defined what the new dress code is about: “Expect sensual gowns, dramatic silhouettes, and fluid, boundary-pushing designs, all inspired by the timeless Art Deco spirit that defined early Hollywood.”
Milan Fashion Week
The famous runway extravaganza revealed some sure trends for the upcoming year…as far as these things can be predicted. Styling plucked right out of the 1980’s, bold colors, striped pajama sets, and a sure prep-school trend dominated the looks seen on models walking for houses such as Versace, Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, and more.
Saying goodbye to Valentino Garavani
Lastly, but surely not least in importance, on the roll out of the above Milan Fashion Week, the jet-set Italian fashion designer Valentino Garavani died this week. Dressing such notable ladies as Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Diana, Princess of Wales, Queen Rania, Valentino (the single name he was most known by) famously said, “I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.”
His signature orange-tinged red, bows, ruffles, and lace were just some of the trademarks of this fashion industry giant. Valentino was 93
