Met Gala, 2x

Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Regina King will host the gala on May 2nd (the usual day of this fundraiser occurring the first Monday of May) as official co-chairs.

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!)

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.

Ronnie Spector

When we saw The Shirelles walk on stage with their wide party dresses, we went in the opposite direction and squeezed our bodies into the tightest skirts we could find.

New Year, New Styles, New Latex?

At Dawnamatrix, we’ve upgraded our laser cutter, so we look forward to showing you a new collection in 2022, and as always, we are always looking to reach out beyond and above all we can imagine.

The Matrix Resurrections’ Couture Plays To Old & New

From new Funko Pops! creations, to one of the movie’s stars, Priyanka Chopra channeling her character “Sati,” costume’s colors, in wearing a bespoke Halpern dress at The Matrix Resurrections premiere last night, and all the above Lindsay Pugh’s updating, we seem to be ready to fall into the matrix again.

Goodbye Anne Rice

Vampirism, male homosexual canoodling, costuming ranging from Victorian lace to 80’s latex couture, and a fair amount of spanking; Anne Rice gave us so much and more!

Lady Gaga Gets Jazzy With It

We are so used to seeing Lady Gaga in outrageous outfits, from meat dresses to a wide range of latex couture, to high-end fashions. But, returning to the Park Theater at Park MGM in Las Vegas after a 652-day lay-off, the star of the upcoming “House of Gucci” has taken the strip by storm once again, in her revamped Jazz and Piano residency.

Considering Latex Leggings

When you create latex couture, you are aware of rendering new designs, maybe creating a unique accessory, and, of course, surfing trends that either suit you or not.

RuPaul makes history

And as of the 73rd Emmy Award show that just passed, RuPaul is now the most-award person of color in Emmy history.

Saying Bye-Bye To The Baroness

The Baroness claims she will continue to document and archive her years in the fetish scene through writings, short video histories of fetish luminaries, and maybe even podcasts. In addition, this ‘lady of latex’ will return to designing latex clothes and making clothing as art once she establishes her new workshop at her new home.

Most Recent Photoshoots With Some Very Talented Folks

Indeed, we have had and will always seek models, photographers, fashion shows, and really any showing of our latex clothing featuring the beautiful colors we work with. But there is truly something so rich and stylish with black and white photography.

the World of WearableArt: Vegas Exec. Director & Global Expansion for 2021

“While Covid created some challenges for us, it also gave us a chance to reset and to start hatching plans about how we can continue to produce extraordinary content,” he said, adding the second part of the organization’s wish for the future: “Growing internationally is a natural thing for WOW to do.”

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.

The MTV Movie & TV Awards 2021: 2x Times The Fashion Fun

Alas, we weren’t treated to our favorite textile, but there were some fun wardrobe choices to look at during both the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards this past Sunday and the first-of-its-kind award show, the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards: UNSCRIPTED that followed the next night.

“Halston”

What makes this fast-moving 5-episode bio series much fun is how much we learn about the iconic designer as well as how every actor here chews the scenery in a way that’s endearing and never off-putting.

Miley Cyrus & The SNL ‘Boob Shirt’

Yes, we’ll concede that the attention this time wasn’t on some wonderful latex mini, but surely we celebrate Miley’s ‘boob shirt’ as well as her for wearing it.

Remembering Tempest Storm

As 2021 speeds by, we are as much considering the big questions, like where COVID-19 is taking us, to small, who is wearing what specific piece of latex couture, and how well they might be wearing it. But we really can’t let another week flitter away without noticing the death of Annie Blanche Banks. Or …

2021 GRammy’s Couture

The NCOSE said that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s performance of “WAP” at the Grammy’s “….could have been cut from a hardcore pornography film” and also “…contributed to the sexual exploitation of women by glamorizing prostitution and stripping.” Maybe they didn’t like the huge stiletto on stage or the bed, or what Cardi and Mega Thee Stallion did on that bed.

From Bowie To Reznor, Fashion Always Rocks

Celebrating David Bowie for what would have been his 74th birthday, Trent Reznor, of NIN fame (a rabid Bowie fan), participated with a bunch of other notables in the “A David Bowie Celebration: Just For One Day!” A clip from that show of Reznor, Atticus Ross, the Bowie alumni band (Mike Garson, Carlos Alomar, Gery Leonard, Mark Plati, Sterling Campbell and Catherine Russell) and Reznor’s wife Maandig Reznor recreating Bowie’s song “Fashion,” was ‘dropped’ at the beginning of this week.

Getting Into The Ring With Scarlett Bordeaux

As of this week, both Karrion Kross and Scarlett were back in their domain. For the uninitiated, both haven’t been seen on the program since the end of summer when Kross was forced off the NXT Championship due to an injury

Stardust Trailer Drops

The thing about David Bowie we must all remember is what a trend ‘pusher’ he was. Flirting with andrology as much in what he wore as in how he conducted himself, he was quite the controversial character.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Non-Stop Latex Assault

Latex lovers have so much to thank our modern-day divas for. We’ve been reporting for quite a few years how Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and Katy Perry have been rockin’ latex couture (sometimes wearing Dawnamatrix latex pieces) seemingly every time they step out.

Hooray For The MET!

In light of COVID-19’s shutdown, nobody much imagined they’d see the usual array of latex couture, wild lace and leather creations, and all the other fantastic wardrobe usually associated with the yearly Met Ball. But this year, even without our best and brightest celebrities showing up to show off, the famous Metropolitan Museum of Art …

Dissecting The Sexy Fashions, Lyric and Look Of Cardi B’s “WAP”

Fake Marilyn Monroe Still Sells

We all know how important it is to accessorize with our latex couture. Gloves, some metal jewelry, or even a mask (especially a mask these days) can add just the right finishing touches to the look we are going for. This week (tomorrow 7/22, actually) accessories of quite a historical significance, owned by Marilyn Monroe, …

Wonder Woman Gets Even Sweeter

We don’t often, (if we ever do), think of candy when wiggling into our latex couture, do we? If anything, we are probably bemoaning what we should not have eaten when stepping out wearing our favorite wardrobe pieces. But candy company SweeTARTS® has come up with a sweet new connection to a cool fashion, centered around one …

Hamilton Trailer Drops With Lots Of ‘Revolutionary’ Couture

The action of this particular play takes place years ago, so we don’t have any hope of latex couture in its onstage wardrobe. But one can still marvel over the costumes, as much as the music and history lesson, of Hamilton. And one can marvel all over Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit creation with Disney + releasing the …
