And sweet Sabrina wasn’t even wearing any latex! This week Sabrina Carpenter revealed an alternative cover to her upcoming album Man’s Best Friend. The more sedate picture she offers this time she claims is approved by God. Sabrina also added in one of her posts the words: “THE CAPTION IM DEAD,” whatever that all means. …
Black dandyism, a high-priced dinner, museum charity…and latex? Let’s explore what we saw, and didn’t see, last night on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2025 Met Gala. Madonna, returning to the gala after nearly a decade away, wore an ivory suit, tailored trousers, a matching blazer, a white button-down shirt…and …
Surely, we love her for her music but we also have to applaud Lady Gaga on her choice of couture, lots of it lots of the time, latex. Most recently, on the heels of the release of her new album Mayhem, the Little Monsters mother showcased some scrumptious latex costuming in her Abracadabra music video, which …
We can’t exactly weigh in if it was made of latex or not, but there was no ignoring the 60-foot Kim Kardashian balloon lying on a platform in New York City’s Time Square. The ‘gigantic Kim” (two words that could often be used to describe the uber-popular reality star/business mogul) was an advertisement for Kim’s …
Impossible as it is not to watch the red carpet walk into the Oscars, (and wish for a hint of latex) surely the stars making the scene of parties before and after the ceremony (certainly after) get as much press. Hinting at what they might wear at the actual ceremony, switching outfits between what is …
Not that we ever expect to see much latex (although the outfits can get rather alternative) we do hold out hope each year to see our favorite textile on grand display at the “Oscars of Fashion,” the Met Gala. This year’s 2025 Gala theme has been announced, some seven months before attendees will be showing …
How about another one of our semi-regular fashion news roundups, be it about latex, alternate fashion, or regular wacky wardrobe happenings… First, there is the icon Debbie Harry and Gucci. Ionic lead singer, songwriter, and co-founder of equally iconic rock band Blondie, Debbie has a sure style sensibility all her own. She fronts the new …
Working in latex as we do, we know plenty about how a good many materials can make (or break) new wardrobe trends and influence styles. Or simply set a company on its way. So often experimentation in new textiles, be they natural or not, become a ‘one person’s trash/plant by-product/new polymer becomes another person’s couture,’ …
Classic comic sci-fi illustrations are full of semi-clad beauties wearing latex, PVC, and very little else, paired with muscle-bound hunks either coming to their rescue or making them submit to some other-worldly entanglement. Like it or not as seen through a modern-day sensibility, but this is the stuff of fantasy (the artist’s fantasy), no matter …
We don’t ever mind giving a nod to another designer, be they using latex or not. Just a few blogs back we mentioned the relaunch of the Yummy Gummy brand, happy as we are to see our friend and talented designer Rebecca Allsop having another chance to see her vision writ large. And you know …
In the same universe, but over on the comic book side of things, Power Girl received a couture update in official art this week.

But when one looks at (and listens to) The Last Dinner Party, it is impossible not to notice their sartorial panache.
Wozniacki has played with and enjoyed her sense of sartorial style off the court as well, appearing at award show appearances in sexy sparkly gowns as much as for Sports Illustrated swimsuits. This lady tennis star proves that there really are so many ways we can all look great in the clothes we wear, no matter where we wear them and what they are made of.
But generally speaking, as we have every year, those of us latex fashion lovers got through another summer with our latex wardrobes intact.
And while stars like Halle Bailey, Karen Elson, Rita Ora, and surely Rachel Brosnahan went with the naked dress look, the absolute winner in showing themselves off has to be Lil Nas X.
Stage costumes, modern-day celebrity causal wear, fan and influencer couture, latex, lingerie, leather, and denim (and more) all serve Coachella every year.
The 57-year-old country/pop crossover diva, known for quite an array of incredible wardrobe choices in her videos (and some quite sexy), dons a wide array of wild, colorful couture here reminiscent of MTV’s heyday.
It might ‘only’ ever be seen in a game, or not ever seen at all (so far) but be it made of latex, PVC leather, or carry a hint of steampunk even about it, there is no keeping a good cosplayer’s dream costume down.
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.
Good old William Shatner himself offered some interesting remarks to Kevin Smith’s questions about all Treks not his during the “Shatner on Shatner” panel.
The actress who plays Catwoman in the new movie was dressed in a bespoke Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, sporting super sexy Bat-Signal-like cutouts over her breasts.
The film is directed by Ridley Scott and features Jeremy Irons, Salma Hayek, Al Pacino, and an unrecognizable Jared Ledo.
Khloé Kardashian inadvertently posted an unedited bikini pic taken over Easter Weekend. The ‘mistake’ photo, posted on Twitter, was quickly taken down, but not without plenty of Kardashian fans grabbing a screenshot of it and sharing it.
Adopting pretty much the same pose, in precisely the same outfit, Goldie realized The Material Girl had simply taken Goldie’s picture and pasted her head over Goldie’s! Goldie shared the photo on her own Instagram in 2017, saying,” Two years today since queen @madonna used a photo of me on her Instagram with her face photoshopped onto it. Still, the best/weirdest/funniest thing to ever happen to me.’
Doja Cat takes the popular TikTok silhouette challenge to the extreme, wearing a combination of latex, lace, and leather in her new “Streets” video. The song from her Hot Pink album released two years ago gets a full steamy treatment in this new video directed by Christian Breslauer and starring actor Kofi Siriboe.
Whether this deaccessioning will act as a salve on the open wound of low attendance (or no attendance) due to social distancing rules or something institutions like the MET become all too dependent on, no one knows.
It seems Rihanna wants to offer us all something from her new Savage X Fenty Valentine’s Day collection to make us remember the day.
Chadwick Boseman, known for starring in the movies, 42, Get on Up and of course, playing King T’Challa in Black Panther, died this week at the age of 43
A delicious amount of dark action, latex, PVC, leather wardrobe tropes, and a fair amount of vehicle fetishizing was unleased on us this week. All from the wonderful world of Batman. First, Warner Brothers are streaming their The Batmobile documentary across Youtube this week. The film features five of Batman’s cars through the years, wiith an especially …
Not that we managed any latex creating while in Tokyo, still, as I explained in our last blog, this trip to Japan was as wonderful as any other I have managed to Asia. In part 1, I mentioned how incredible the food is in Japan. Below you see me with a friend enjoying a freshly-made …
Dawnamatrix supporter Beyoncé is not the only modern-day performer to partner with/create a fashion label or dabble in accessories. Less we forget Rihanna working with River Island, Madonna and her daughter Lourdes’ “Material Girl” selling at Macy’s; the list of pop and fashion working business models and creating brands together grows daily. In fact, it seems these days one isn’t a pop singer or famous personality without, at the very least, supporting or hawking for a couture label, creating a new collection with a fashion designer or developing a whole new brand.
