Prada, Madonna, a little Lick & Kacey Musgraves?

Here’s another round-up of latex, leather, runway, celebrity stylings from recent postings and happenings. We are not even into the second week of the New Year, and there is so much to feast our eyes and ears on.

The Couple That Dresses Together….Kim & Kanye

When it comes to alternative fashion, being seen in latex outfits, leather accessories, or lingerie, whether she breaks to the net or not, we can count on Kim Kardashian West to keep us looking. Her ex-husband, Kanye West even manages some very cool style as well. At Kanye’s second Donda listening event last week, Kim was dressed yet again to make a statement.

Normani Costume Rich “Wild Side”

Even though she doesn’t wear any latex in her new “Wild Side” clip, we really can’t find any fault with Normani. The video, dropped just this past Friday, is just so scrumptiously sexy and couture costume fantastic; anybody who sees it will not be able to ignore it.

When Accessory Becomes Couture: Bella Hadid @ 74th Cannes Film Festival

But leave it to Bella Hadid to lead the blog-o-news as she did this week when she entered the premiere of “Tre Piani (Three Floors)” at the 74th Cannes Film Festival. The supermodel appeared on the infamous film celebration’s red carpet in a flowing Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2021/22 crepe gown. The beautiful gown, as much sported long-sleeves but most notably, quite the low-cut neckline.

The BET Awards, Still Tops For Wild Couture

Out of all the award shows we try to cover, looking for latex couture or some unique red carpet alternative wardrobe, the BET Awards never disappoint. The annual show, (the 21st of this particular show happening in 2021!) was held this past Sunday night. It proved to be a costume/wardrobe extravaganza we can’t help but comment about.

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.

Billie Eilish Rocking Lingerie, Latex and Body Positivity in British Vogue

But what it seems Eilish wants to portray most, as has always been the case for her, is body positivity. As she relates in the interview alongside these shots: “My thing is that I can do whatever I want. It’s all about what makes you feel good. If you want to get surgery, go get surgery. If you want to wear a dress that somebody thinks that you look too big wearing, f*** it – if you feel like you look good, you look good.”

Chloe x Halle’s “Ungodly Hour” is unGodly hot

Luscious liquid latex are the three words that first come to mind when viewing Chloe x Halle’s just dropped “Ungodly Hour” video. The sister singing sensation that just revealed separate Instagram portals is still very much together in this clip, revealing a whole bunch of sleek couture, starting off what seems to be about seven costume changes wearing gorgeous latex wardrobe.

Hailey Baldwin and Amber Astley Are In On Our Secret

While clothes might very well ‘make the man,’ certainly we’d all agree that the right accessory perfectly ‘dresses up’ a latex wardrobe. Hailey Baldwin indeed assured us all of this fact this week.

Aguilera, Cyrus, Vergara and Lipa: Couture Choices

Sometimes all you have to do is sit back, and the latex and alternate wardrobe news come to you. The daily postings we all see come across our various news feeds as much focuses these days on Corona Virus updates as celebrity gossip. And where there are celebrities, there are bound to be observations on …

Latex: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Really, any time is a good time for wearing, buying, ‘gifting’ latex (yes, it’s our job to say this, but we really do feel this way). With the mainstream coming to our side more and more each year, popular videos featuring every style imaginable, and not just latex, and the proliferation of designers and latex websites (and as we always say, competition just makes us all the better in the end) latex is here for all to enjoy…and give for the holidays ahead.

Megan Thee Stallion SPREADS “GOOD NEWS”

Last week Megan Thee Stallion shared some damn sexy photos across Instagram (although none of them of her in latex) alongside her announcement of the release date of her debut album. The Houston rapper follows-up her EP “Suga” with her first full-length music release today, called Good News, and indeed the haute couture she wore in …

Diana Rigg: Fashion Icon, Multi-award Winning Actress, Empowered Grande Dame

Arguably the lady’s most famous character, “Emma Peel,” was the very embodiment of a sexy, empowered women kicking ass (literally) during the mid-’60s of swinging England. Wearing as much dangerously sexy outfits (and there is no mistaking the fetish wardrobe, really!) as mod fashions on The Avengers, Rigg became as much a fashion icon as many a teenage boy’s (and some girl’s) fantasy.

2020 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS FASHION: INSIDE AND OUT

o matter if we saw latex jumpsuits, leather-and-lace combinations, or lingerie worn as an accessory, we all knew this year’s VMA’s would be different than any in the show’s three-decade history. Playing across our TVs, tablets, and other streaming devices, the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards came at us all last Sunday night, socially distanced as we all knew it had to be, but still as colorful and wild as ever, inside and out.

Trying to Hold On To Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion is a performer who’s been wowing us all with her wardrobe choices of late, from latex, to leather, to lingerie. Always working her curves into stunning alternative looks and sexy styles, on the most recent episode of HBO Max’s “Legendary,” the 25-year old singer, actually ‘upped’ her A-game. For the H.B.O. Max …

Self-Quarantined: A Perfect Time For Latex Dressing-Up

Like everyone, we are trying our best to go on with our day in our usual way, rendering costumes and bespoke latex couture. A reasoned response to safety is probably the best any of us can ask for, and as we said in our last blog, we sincerely hope for only the very best of …

Having a great (and oh so colorful) time @ The Texas Latex Party

There really is nothing quite like a latex party. Fascinating fashionistas, (yes, some kinksters); a bunch of adults looking to be seen and make-a-scene with so many alternative wardrobe-lovers; a good time to show off homemade creations, bespoke items and all manner of chic chic. We love these get-togethers and try to get together to …

Lady Gaga Truly Is An Enigma…In Las Vegas

Through her ascendancy in the rock-pop world, a well-publicized duet to legitimacy with Tony Bennett, a scary turn in “American Horror Story: Hotel,” her possible Oscar nod in a A Star Is Born and now her Enigma show in Las Vegas, really, is there any stopping Lady Gaga?

Happy Christmas From A Blonde Kris Jenner

This time of year, one might be lucky enough to find some extra special displays of latex couture among all the wrapping and tinsel…as much in what your favorite gift giver wears as what you might spy at a party. Beyond these displays, we can all hope that at least the Kardashians/Jenner’s might step-it-up for …

2019 To WOW Us All

At the end of the year most of us come into a reflective mood, as reflective as a beGloss-lubed latex catsuit. Looking to 2019, one can’t help but consider 2018, and in the mix and match-up of what passed in a seeming blur of 12 months, Dawnamatrix has enjoyed another fantastic year. We spread our …

Grimes returns (wearing latex) in “We Appreciate Power”

Over the past year Grimes announced across Instagram that she wasn’t going to be releasing any new music “anytime soon,” as she saw it, “the music industry is trash.” She did though collaborate during the year with Janelle Monáe, Poppy and Loona. And of course, her relationship with Tesla’s top man did not go unnoticed. Such public scrutiny does not always the best art make, but Grimes is showing how she’s beating back the odds on staid celebrity with “We Appreciate Power.”

Serena Williams Fights Back In A Tutu

French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli told Tennis Magazine that William’s body-hugging super hero-like wardrobe “…will no longer be accepted.” He also added the FFT will be scrutinizing designer’s player collections for the play at Roland Garros next year, even though most have already been made. At the time, Williams said her reason for wearing the catsuit was as a tribute to: “All the moms out there that had a tough pregnancy and have to come back and try to be fierce, in the middle of everything. That’s what this represents. You can’t beat a catsuit, right?”

Nicki Minaj Is Queen

Queen is the “Anaconda,” “Super Bass,” singer’s 4th album, chock full of the lady’s unique and provocative rap POV. But her wardrobe choices and video styling (some we have reported on already when she dropped the “Barbie Tingz and “Chun Li” videos) are unequaled in the pop field.

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.

Celebrating Memorial Day With Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty

Although we have caught her sporting sporting gear or latex-like couture from Alexander Vauthier for a trip to the Grammies, who would have thought we’d be lucky enough to catch Rihanna in so much lingerie? At the beginning of this month the singer ‘dropped’ her new Savage x Fety line and it includes 90 pieces of lingerie, sleepwear, and accessories, as well as four core collections.

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.

Invisibility, Anyone?

But what about courting the idea of invisibility with our wardrobe? Exploring that age-old science fiction/fantasy trope of throwing on a piece of clothing, flipping a switch or getting under J.K. Rowling’s “Invisibility Cloak,” stepping unseen throughout day. It seems Engineers at the University of California, Irvine quite possibly have cracked the code on invisibility material.

Israel Adesanya Wears a Flower

MMA fighter Israel Adesanya, certainly a walking/talking/fighting example of culturally accepted macho-ness, is featured in the new campaign for Karen Walker’s “Monumental” line. In advertisements for Walker’s glasses, Adesanya wears a bunch of different styles (some of a more feminine stripe) with and without a shirt; a flower tucked behind his ear in every shot.

OTR II Is Coming

Beyoncé and JAY-Z just announced the dates for their On The Run 11 tour. This set of concerts will take the pair through stadiums, beginning in the UK, then running through Europe and swinging by romp through North America, starting July 25th. The husband-and-wife musical juggernaut last toured together in 2014 for the first “On the Run” tour.

The Amazing World-Wide Phenomena Of Reese Witherspoon’s Disappearing Leg

It seems the latest issue of Vanity Fair has fashionistas, fans and eagle-eyed spotters truly excited. The cover of the magazine’s 2018 Hollywood issue features a group of big time movie-dom movers and shakers. Harrison Ford, Gal Gadot, Robert De Niro, Tom Hanks, to name just a few, are posed with Reese Witherspoon cuddling up next to Oprah Winfrey…and there-in lies the trouble. By optical illusion that quite often happens in even the most elite haute couture photography, and this picture was shot by Annie Leibowitz’s now less, it seems that Reese Witherspoon sports three legs visible through the slit in her gown
