w in demand Sydney Sweeney is presently, and seeing that no writer, producer or director is attached to this recently announced remake of Barbarella we won’t probably see the film anytime soon.

We can all catch Blackpink in what will surely prove to be some stunning stage costumes at the MTV awards on August 28th.
Ryan Gosling Channels ‘Earring Magic Ken’
One can only wonder how many Barbie and Ken cosplayers will descend San Diego’s Comic-Con next year when Barbie is released in July 2023.
Julia Fox, Latex Or Not?
Any nod to latex, even if it is in error, I guess we need to be happy with, and certainly Julia Fox, more than most, has been wearing creations we love…latex or not.
Oh, Those Wacky Academy Awards: Slaps, Style and The Young Slipping In Over The Old
Beyond Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, there were some other exciting moments at the 94th Academy Awards this past Sunday, although we had no latex fashion.
Beyoncé In Red Latex Warms Our Hearts
As we’ve mentioned plenty here, when we first started in the business in 2009, black was arguably the ‘go to’ color for latex fashionistas and fetish costume wearers (and yes, we have worn our share of black latex outfits and accessories over the years!)
Capturing Alt. Couture@ The 2021 People’s Choice Awards
And then Becky G, in her bright yellow Roberto Cavalli dress, cut up to her waist, leaving the lady bare on one side. The whole concoction was seemingly held in place by only two black straps, which matched her strappy black high heels.
Gaga & Aguilera red carpets, master classes & a whole lot of fantastic couture
Following our modern-day divas showing off weekly in their latex, lace, and designer haute couture can be a full-time job. But it is, oh so much fun.

Lil Nas X wore three different bespoke full Versace outfits . First, there was a beautiful gold beaded cape sporting an extra-long train. Under this, the singer then revealed a homage to C-3PO, wearing a golden suit of armor
Christina Aguilera Bringing the Latex couture
But Christina Aguilera delivered song and visual as only she can, last week. The 40-year-old singer appeared in Las Vegas last Thursday for the Virgin Hotel’s “Unstoppable Weekend,” grand opening celebration. Accessorizing with a Vex custom black bandana black, studded belts and black jeans, Aguilera rocked a sexy tight black latex jumpsuit, played up high around her neck and belted around her waist.
Ok, so now we know what they were wearing at the 2021 academy awards
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.
Miley Cyrus makes some changes @ Superbowl TikTok Tailgate
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.”
Paying Tribute to Pierre Cardin
There will certainly never be another designer/personality/visionary, quite like Pierre Cardin.
Oh No, Noah Cyrus!
Stepping out to the store in a pair of thigh-high leather boots or a latex mini (guy or gal) might still engender a stare or two. And as Noah Cyrus learned this week, showing lots of oneself, even during a modern music award show, is just too much for some.
Rihanna Gets Savage And Sexy Again
Queen Rih wore quite a few outfits during the span of the show. From opening the evening in a black bra, thong, and yes, those fishnets to later wearing a purple lace bodysuit with thigh-high boots and a matching boa.
The Couture Keeps A’ Changing At the 2020 BET awards
We all expected some amazing wardrobe displays at the 2020 BET Awards, maybe even some latex outfits or accessories. But there was an unprecedented dizzying array of outfits revealed across the all-virtual BET Awards show this Sunday past. First off, host Amanda Seales ran through ten wardrobe changes in her three hours hosting. Then there …
Chloe x Halle Certainly Know How To Rock Their Latex
Talk about salivating over latex couture! We dare you to happen round the new Chloe x Halle video “Forgive Me,” and not have to catch your collective, alternative fashionista breath. The Hailey sisters dropped their super-hot, super-costume-cool video last week, coinciding with the release of their latest album, Ungodly Hour. As much a statement of female …
Costuming, Homage, and naughtiness on Netflix’s “Hollywood”
Ryan Murphy forgoes horror, latex, leather, and other dark wardrobe choices for his new Netflix series, Hollywood. But the costuming for this new show from American Horror Story creator is just as impressive as it has been for all Murphy’s productions, due, in no small way, to Ryan once again enlisting the team of costume designers, …
fashion fightS coronavirus
Might a latex accessory help keep one protected from the coronavirus? So far, we have all seen as much disinformation as real science fact thrown far and wide about COVID-19. With panic in the current pandemic fed and fueled in the lightning-fast dissemination of information we have at our fingertips it’s not so easy keeping …
Kendall + Kylie Do It Again ?
In trouble again, (and not even from wearing any latex couture), Kendall and Kylie Jenner are seemingly being sued over copyright infringement. According to T.M.Z., design company Klauber Brothers, Inc. claims that there is a Kylie thong panty currently being sold that uses one of Klauber Brother’s lace patterns on its waistband. There is also …
Part 3: 2019 (and the past decade) Fashion Statements (and Questions?)
In our continuing coverage of past couture moments from 2019 and this decade, be they latex couture or not, here are some “fashion statements” and ‘questions’ both. Although we have been known to sell latex thongs, does anyone recall Boohoo.com introducing their “Basic V Neck Ruched Front Thong Bodysuit” this past year? The ‘front thong’ …
Halloween Costumes for 2019
Beyond Yandy (which we will spin back to in a second), there are lots of new Halloween costume choices of which to partake. According to Pinterest’s yearly round-up, the #1 couple costume of the year is anything but sexy.
2019 VMAs Fashions
Taylor Swift came in a colorful and diamond jeweled Versace blazer and black Christian knee-high boots, Halsey managed to sneak in a black waist cincher in the middle of her open dress.

GLOW’s 3rd Season Costuming Wrestles Us Into Sweet Submission
This time, the lady wrestlers, and their producers are part of what soon becomes a successful Las Vegas residency at the fictional “Fan-Tan Hotel and Casino.” This allowed the show’s costume designer, Beth Morgan to expand her usual glitz and wild flare with not just the influence of mid-80’s fashions but the legendary sartorial look of Las Vegas
Who Wore What: The 2018 People’s Choice Awards, The Country Music Awards and The 19th Annual Latin Grammy Awards
The last event of the week, the Latin Grammy’s, saw stars reveal the most risqué, alternative and downright sexiest fashions of all three events. Ana de la Reguera stepped high and proud in her billowing magenta top and little black hot pants. Halsey wore that nude dress style; hers draped with light color beads. Her close-cropped hair and the body-hugging floor length gown made her look like a 20’s flapper.
GLOW Returns, Promises Wilder Styles
Spandex trumps latex couture, but who cares when a T.V. show is as entertaining as GLOW? The explosively popular ladies wresting series premiers its 2nd season a few days before the 4th of July, and if the trailer or teaser is any indication the action and comedy this time hits, knocks down and for all intents and purposed pins the first season. What also seems to have been given an uptick is GLOW’s look.
Material, Color, Embellishment, Style at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards
When it comes to the possibility of seeing latex couture, leather ensembles, completely alternative styles, and wild color, one can’t hope to do better than a MTV award show. The 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards, occurring this past Monday night, didn’t disappoint in wardrobe variety. We even managed to see some pieces that one might even consider actually alternative.
2018 Billboard Music Awards: Fashion, Inside and Out
Whether walking the red carpet or performing sadly we must report that there was very little, if any at all, latex couture seen at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards held last Sunday. Hailing from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas this year, and seeing as this was a culture pop event we had hope that a celeb or two might lean towards wearing a catsuit or some other wardrobe piece we could consider in our wheel house. But alas they kept to haute couture designers, free of any truly unusual textiles, in what they wore coming in to the show and even when on stage.
Minaj À Trois Breaks The Internet
Seeing that Kim Kardashian didn’t break anything on her own cover of this same magazine three years ago, Nicki Minaj will probably not break anything either. But boy is the lady always upping the ante on what she might do and how she comes to wear latex and other alternate fashions to pretty much make our day.
Bella ‘Bringing It’ To Paris
Lots is being made about the celebs showing up, and ‘showing off’, at Paris Couture Week. Julianna Moore and Elle Fanning and more came to the City of Lights for the shows, as well as Celine Dion showing lots of skin, posing naked on Vogue’s Instagram account. But by all accounts Bella seems to have won the day n with her daring, style and metallics infused into such a high-fashion event.
Grammys 2017: Red Carpet Showdown
Though there wasn’t a hint of latex costumes this time out, still we all were treated to quite the startling mix of styles at the Grammys 2017 even before the show began. All but a show unto itself (and certainly broadcast), the red carpet walkin-in is as much a perfect advertisement for designers as it is for stars to get in a first outrageous outfit before they often times change for the show itself.
And Who Said New York Fashion Week Couldn’t Get Downright Weird…In A Good Way
VFiles models walked down the runway in umbrella hats and plastic bag dresses.
Chromat revealed a look of black straps over a high-waisted panty two-piece.
Namilia did us all proud with two latex-hooded models, one a see-thru hood matching a latex top of the same thin vanilla and a second model in a thicker white hood (sporting a shocking braid out the top). Another model wore an open shirt, chains across her bared breasts attached to a collar with the ubiquitous black X’s in tape across her nipples.
Jeremy Scott went all sequined color, with asymmetrical 80’s-influenced lines as much in tops as eyewear and wigs.
London Reveals What’s Under It All
The UK’s Victoria and Albert Museum seems to think lingerie is important just as we do. They are devoting their new Undressed: A Brief History Of Underwear exhibit to a semi-chronological, heavily-themed display of unmentionables for the next year. In sections titled “Health and Hygiene” “Performance Underwear; and Support: Bras and Girdles” and many others, this very famous London museum’s attendees get to enjoy a multi-floor exploration of undergarment fashions and body image concerns of the past (and really, nothing reveals how we feel about our bodies then what we make to wear so very close to them). Dress designers and ‘reformers’ are highlighted as well as the inventors and innovators who played a role in the furthering of designs that increased our comfort and the durability of our undergarments through the decades.
We Dare You To Watch Rihanna’s “Kiss Me Better” Video
Considering that we are bombarded with daily Instagram pics of naked women and men (A, B and even no-list celebrities); far and away from those years when Madonna was making waves with fetish clothing styling; Kardashians threatening to break the net almost every week and Rihanna herself having exposed herself plenty in sexy costume designs already, one wonders if the actual video here will have staying power beyond all the talk about it…before we even get to see it
LOVE Magazine’s Advent Calendar Tickles Us Close
Yes, the upcoming Pirelli calendar is getting lots of press-and the women posing in that famous Italian fashion export are not even nude this year or even wearing latex outfits-it’ the annual LOVE Magazine Advent calendar that seems to be earning the most attention for its salacious content. With their pictures and videos of scantily clad celeb ladies rounding out their month of days, we see lots of high-waisted panties and bra sets, dangling garters (or those attached to stockings) model Zendaya going way out in a 2001: A Space Odyssey homage and Pamela Anderson (the last woman to appear completely nude in “Playbo0y” magazine actually) in classic black 50’s lingerie. Kendall Jenner even walks through video fire in her own stocking and garter set while wearing various fur coats.
Babydoll Dress
This sweet baby doll style dress features a supportive bodice, structured waistband, back zip, and flirty circle skirt. Pictured here in Black, there are plenty of color choices here to choose from. Pictured with our Wristlets and Premium Thigh Highs (sold separately).
