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 …

Sorry, not a hint of latex couture in the bunch, but here’s some fashion news to wrap up the month… The Phoenician Scheme is so bright we have to wear Oliver Peoples shades.

What began as a niche interest shared by a small yet growing like-minded population, folks as much influenced by reading authors like Jules Verne as a love of Victorian-era aesthetics, grew into a fully realized and marketable subculture that we often see ‘dressed’ in latex. And with the attention Janelle Monáe’s motorized clock monocle received …
Yes, we just reported on Lady Gaga’s set pretty much starting off Coachella 2025 with her 4 set pieces, latex costumes, and music.

Hinting at what they might wear at the actual ceremony, switching outfits between what is …
Lots of latex couture and latex accessories were seen out and about this week. As we know, our ‘reality stars,’ in the US as well as abroad, love their latex.

So, we caught no latex outfits or even latex accessories at the just-passed Golden Globes.

Known as much for her music, iconic video dance moves, a live TV moment that incurred the FCC’s wrath, and costumes and couture that runs the gambit from latex to lace to everything in between, it’s no wonder that Janet Jackon’s new Las Vegas residency is making news. The two-hour-plus show, playing at Resorts World, …
As we have always said, there are so many wonderful latex designers out there creating bespoke items, as well as selling catalog latex wardrobe pieces. We surely feel a sense of healthy competition with them all, but part of the Dawnamatrix ethos has always been that there is enough room (and alternative wardrobe wearers) to …
Once again there are many alternative–even some latex–fashion stories, to run through this week. Surely, this weekend, the premiere of the Wicked movie made lots of news. In Europe, the stars came out for the first showing of that movie, and as to be expected, celebrities showed up on the Wicked red carpet rather well …

The glitz, music, red carpet, and surely the leather, lace, and even sometimes, yes latex couture at the yearly VMA’s always make for good blog posts, tweets, and many day-after critiques. Although we have seen MTV’s unique answer to the Grammy’s now through four decades, it’s those wardrobes that never disappoint, no matter who wins …
Could be latex, probably more like leather, maybe even some PVC. Whatever the case may be, the stunning stylings Demi Moore is wearing in her latest interview in Interview Magazine are so worth checking out. As is the interesting Q&A conducted by Academy-Award-winning actress, Michelle Yeoh. In the piece Moore and Yeoh expound on the …
