Latex Love Off U.S. Shores

Here are a few global latex ‘appearances’ of recent note off our North American shores that we think worthy of mentioning. 

Latex Costumes

Comes ‘round this time of year, we not only contemplate cosplay, sexy dress, and lingerie worn as outerwear but certainly how latex fits in (literally and figuratively) into what we might come to wear on the 31st. 

Torture Garden Los Angeles

The year’s LA TG event is being held at the historic Globe Theatre and will feature performers coming in from spots around the globe, international DJs, and plenty of space for the attended to meet and compare…outfits.

Blackpink: Style and Sound

We can all catch Blackpink in what will surely prove to be some stunning stage costumes at the MTV awards on August 28th.

And Once Again, Xtina Steps Up in Latex Plus

sed this week to her performance at the Starlite Festival in Spain, Christina Aguilera once again brought her unique style and quite a bit of fire to her couture, wearing both latex and lace.

The Met Gala

And rapper Stormzy wore an all-white Burberry three-piece wool suit with satin lapels and a matching white cape, capes on men, were very evident this year.

The Sweetness of Sweetest Pie

“Sweetest Pie,” is pretty much a stunning all-around accomplishment directed by David Meyers and starring two of our most amazing modern talents.

2022 SAG Award STyles

Other than Venus Williams in white Dolce Gabbana over a silver corset, and Jared Ledo in a Gucci wrinkly silk pale blue suit, the outfit that arguably garnered the most attention (said to have “broken” the net most recently) was Lady Gaga’s white column Armani gown.

Minnie Mouse & Stella McCartney

For Minnie’s McCartney pantsuit, the designer has designed a blue tuxedo, made from what she assures us are “responsibly sourced fabrics.”

Katy Perry, Latex, Mushrooms, SNL

Classic, cartoony, self-deprecating stuff from Katy Perry, who we have always known not to take her stage turns and video moments all that seriously. And some serious latex fun moments we applaud her for.

Katy Perry’s “When I’m Gone” Costuming

When I’m Gone is undoubtedly not the first time Katy Perry has brought alternate costuming, a thrumming danceable beat, lyrics of empowerment, a bunch of dancers, and her ultra-sexy self to the fore.

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.

Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson Come Clean?

Although interesting, Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson didn’t really get to the why’s and who’s of the malfunction and if the costume tearing was an accident or staged.

Cardi B @ The 2021 American Music Awards

Not that anyone had any doubt that Cardi B would bring this much sartorial splendor and alternative fashion panache to the 2021 American Music Awards.

Madonna Courting Controversy Chaneling Monroe

Beyond her many hits and iconic fashion statements in lace, corsets, and latex, we also know Madonna for the many times she has channeled Marilyn Monroe. The 63-year-old diva is doing so again across pictures on the cover and inside the latest issue of V Magazine for her “Madonna Forever” piece. And while Miss Madge and photographer …

The Many Turns Of Dakota Johnson

Wearing lingerie as outer wear, haute couture fashions or trending accessories like the shest, it is indeed fun following Dakota Johnson.

Adele Across The Vogue Pond

In what is being called a “transatlantic takeover,” Adele wears a green Maison Valentino gown with a sweeping train, with oversized sleeves on her American Vogue cover. On her

The VMA’s & Met Gala: Fashion Watch

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

Heidi Klum’s Good Humor

Considering all the serious stuff we are currently living through and the fact that Heidi Klum has a bottom that most people don’t mind seeing in any stage of dress (or undress) the fact that she’s taken to this flashing with such aplomb made the moment endearing.

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.

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.

@sydneysomethin Is Really Something!

The corset you are fitting into, or the party of superheroes you are attending might all be fun…until somebody gets stuck in a chair.

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.”

93rd Academy Award Couture

hen again, we’ll probably see the usual display of high styles, certainly over a rash of stars wearing latex corsets! Whoopie Goldberg, who has won an Oscar in 1991 as well as hosted the show, graces Vanity Fair’s pre-Oscar issue in high-end haute couture; wearing a voluminous black gown and equally full draping pale blue coat, pink scarf, and white felt fedora.

Al Might Be Napping, But The Styles Didn’t Disappoint at the 78th Golden Globe Awards

Although Cynthia Erivo’s shoes were, without a doubt, fantastic, alternative, and probably more than slightly dangerous to walk in, Laura Dern certainly brought her A-game when it came to her shoe wear. Wearing a tailored Givenchy pantsuit/tux, the Twin Peaks/Big Little Lies actress accessorized in pumps with sharp pointy toes and metallic silver studs all around them.

The Bedroom Couture Of The 34+35 Remix

Not so much latex, but plenty of lingerie can be seen—and drooled over—in Ariana Grande’s new music video for her 34+35 Remix. Featuring Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion alongside her, the trio of modern-day divas brings intimate couture to a whole other level, leaving their fans, as well as even causal fashionistas, breathless. We …

Gothic Image Relaunch 2020

Andy has been on the scene, publishing in magazines like “Skin Two,” attending the German Fetish Ball, Barbican, and the primo fetish/alt. shopping event Le Boutique Bazaar, to name just a few places he set his camera and talents over the years.

Cosplay, Costumes, The Eternals and Megan Thee Stallion As Mileena

By now, we know that relishing the latex, PVC, or armor from any new superhero movie won’t be much happening until 2021 (we hope). But we are still seeing some cosplay-drool-worthy images coming across the net, keeping us happy and hopeful. From both movies and the gaming world this week, we received some fun images …
