As you have read, we scour the net, the news, and pretty much all we can for latex looks, wardrobe styles made of our favorite textile, and celebrity alt. fashion moments. This reporting is as much to tickle us pink as to alert you…if you are not already alerted. This week actress Sarah Niles and …
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. Wes Anderson’s latest film, “The Phoenician Scheme,” stars Benicio del Toro. Besides the wildly comic turn the actor manages in the movie, he …
We’ve seen it before, we’ll see it many times in the future…celebrities pushing a new product line or collaborating with a brand stepping out in a publicized paparazzi-filled event while wearing latex couture. This past week we had Bella Hadid and UK T.V. and presenter/host Amanda Holden working fragrances and iconic chocolate crackers respectively (both …
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 …
At the end of this week, before the ‘Oscars of Fashion,’ which will take place this coming Monday, we have to wonder again about what we may or may not see when it comes to latex couture at the Met Gala. With this year’s costume exhibition titled ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ the Gala’s dress code …
At Dawnamatrix, we do our best to explore the possibilities of male latex couture. This new article elaborates specifically on men wearing latex and puts us in mind exactly what is out there for men regarding building a latex wardrobe or just adding some latex pieces to their overall style. And while we know women’s …
Not that it sported any latex couture (there’s one demerit) but when Vogue World debuted in New York in 2023, it turned a section of The Big Apple downtown into a combination of runway and parade, all out in the open air, with vogue models and even Lil Nas X performing. In London, the ‘world’ …
Oh, if there was only one latex swimsuit in the bunch! This is surely a cry latex fashionista could have over the popular HBO series The White Lotus. Premiering in 2021, we are now into the third season of the popular anthology series, and so far, there’s not been any latex couture to be seen. …
On the shiny latex heels of Kylie Jenner partnering her KHY brand with latex designer Poster Girl (which we alerted you to last week), the Jenner sister shared a candid Q&A, while wearing a skin-tight tight latex dress. Kylie declared that yes, she’d wear this very same dress when picking her kids up from school, …

We have even been around for a few, showcasing our latex couture with models either walking the runway in an indoor art space or some of our wares being showcased …
Once again, we can proudly say there has been a bunch of recent latex couture sightings…. The annual BRIT Awards, celebrating the UK music industry, delivered a bunch of celebs in wonderful latex couture. There was YouTube personality/author/presenter Nikki Lilly in a strapless red maxi latex dress festooned with rhinestones and single leg slit, exuding …
We might not exactly term it this way, but surely, wearing latex could very well give you “heightened confidence.” These are the two exact words used in this new article from the Hans India website, exploring how a wearer enjoys such positive gains when wearing a latex catsuit. Starting off by claiming that very few …
We certainly have seen latex used in athletic clothing, now called “Athleisure Wear.” But with adidas’ new relaunch of their latex clothing line, anyone into wearing latex for their workout need to take notice. And maybe spend a few dollars. Available only in the US presently, and only in their Women’s Original collection, what the …
So many fashion genres and cultural interests embrace latex couture. Be it fetish parties, comic convention cosplay dress-ups, or just some celebrity wearing a latex LBD for a Hollywood award show, latex wardrobes and accessories cut across our lives in many instances. And as you have read here aplenty (and really what this blog is …
When a publication like Cosmo goes on about two recent latex couture sightings, one pretty much on the skirts of the other, I guess we need to take notice (see here). We reported here on Maya Jama’s dress last week, her couture choice still making news, in the Cosmo article above and beyond. It seems …
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. From “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hill,” Erika Jayne yet again sporting our favorite textile (in the latest episode of the series she accessorized a ‘confessional’ moment …
Yes, Lady Gaga, give us our latex! In her brand-new Abracadabra music video, which premiered during the just-past 2025 Grammy awards, the lady who answers her Little Monsters dreams as much as wears a startling array of fantastic costumes (and quite often latex couture) once again thrills us all. Working with a wide variety of …
We count on the Grammys, more than any other US award show for revealing a celebrity or two wearing some fantastic latex couture. And we surely have seen a few stunning moments over the years of our favorite textile at the show. Most recently there was Dojo Cat at the 65th Grammy’s two years ago, …
On to even more interesting looks from Paris Fashion Week…sans latex couture. Valentino got all ‘theatrical with it’ in Alessandro Michele’s debut. Titled “Vertigineux,” the nearly 50 pieces were revealed in flashing lights, colors, and silhouettes. Giorgio Armani celebrated 90. Armani Privé presented his spring/summer 2025 Lumières collection, inspired by all things light, ninety-three satin …
Who doesn’t love a little parody, a surprise reveal, or even a political statement or two with their latex couture? We have made inroads like this at a WOW show or two, creating backstories for our creations and certainly, we’ve been involved in runway shows for places showing specific exhibitions, even plying a cause or …
All fashion, be it latex wardrobe, high-end ‘streetwear, ‘ or haute couture modeled at the current Paris Fashion Week, is cyclic. Trends come and go. If one hangs around long enough, even the most casual fashionista will recognize some styles returning again and again. From haircuts to shoe wear to wardrobe, all that is old …
While in the US, the big news was Trump’s second Presidential inauguration (and for the fashionable, Melania’s eye-catching/obscuring Eric Javits boater), some fun latex couture was spotted just recently that had nothing to do with US politics. Heidi Montag became known to the public after being cast in MTV’s The Hills reality series. Subsequently releasing …
In the many times we have presented our latex couture at fashion shows, runway events, art galleries, or parties, we have noticed that you can pretty much set up anywhere to show off great ideas, celebrate social gatherings, and reveal cool clothes. But presenting a fashion show in a world-renowned spot synonymous with classic art, …
For us here at Dawnamatrix, one of the better latex news sites is Latex24/7. We look across the site often to see what stories they might have culled that we missed or that they have covered from their UK-centric POV. The site just released: Latex Fashion Explodes: Hottest Trends for 2025 Revealed! We feel the …
Coming clean here, we are asking your forgiveness for passing over these two latex fashion highlights just past. Admitting we missed some late-in-the-year latex turns we can only blame the annual holidaze mayhem keeping us from our usual diligent post (and postings). But it was a great year overall for our favorite textile and we …
If we were in a self-serving mood, we could expound on another year of us contributing a latex outfit to the World of Wearable Art competition and what happened there (which you can read here). And there were surely other things we wrestled our couture into (see that story here). But as with part 1 …
As we usually do at the end of each year, it’s time to take a look back at what we saw in latex couture, be it on a red carpet, some new superhero movie cosplayers will be suited up soon to emulate, a music video, across a fashion show runway or for just the everyday …
In his recent Achieving Care for Your Latex Apparel – TechBullion, Abdul Baist gives us an extensive rundown of how to care for our favorite textile. And we couldn’t have ‘said’ it better. In all we write, render, and reveal of latex couture, Dawnamatrix has always recommended a specific latex couture care agenda. But due …
Wonder Woman, Diana Prince, born on the island of Themyscira, might not just be the best representative of latex couture. Still, her costume is iconic even if it’s not exactly made of our most-favorite textile. In the newly released Wonder Woman #15, that costume is seeing some updating, as befitting the great changes that has …
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 …
Now that the Max limited series The Penguin is over, we feel it’s time to explore the show’s wardrobe, with or without latex couture involved. A grittier realization of a Batman/Gotham City spinoff has probably not been seen, and the clothes, as much as the story, tell the tale. While surely there are some great outfits worn …
With all the latex couture we report on, surely ladies get lots of attention. But when you have a Lady Gaga stepping out in some new fantastic alt. fashion creation, a Cardi B romping through a video in super sexy latex gear, or some actress teasing the award show red carpet paparazzi by mix and …
We came across this recent beginner’s guide/article to wearing a latex catsuit. Writer Sadie Watkins gives wonderful advice on how to wear this fantastically basic (in the best sense of the word) latex outfit…and we will address some of her advice below. But Watkins gave us pause to consider the latex catsuit and all its …
There was even some latex couture on display, as much as wings, lace, iconic models, Cher, and lots of firsts, all at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
