Model-actress Emily Ratajkowski stars in new Gucci monogram campaign
Framed by the shifting light of a day in Cannes, the campaign captures Ratajkowski in a series of moments, from pauses on city corners to the late-day glow along the promenade.
Photographed by Daniel Arnold, the campaign unfolds a balance of presence and ease, movement and stillness.
As she moves effortlessly between the city's crowds and the carefree calm of the beach, her journey is threaded by one constant, the GG Monogram.
Seen across a spectrum of pieces, from new handbags to archival-inspired travel silhouettes from the Gucci Savoy line tracing back to the House's beginnings in the world of luggage, the motif becomes a discreet companion, a signature presence woven into the everyday.
Central to this narrative is the recently debuted Gucci Giglio handbag. Unveiled during the Cruise 2026 fashion show in Florence, Gucci Giglio pays homage to the house's roots, celebrating the Giglio, the lily emblem synonymous with the city since medieval times.
Debuting at the historic Gucci Archive, the piece reflects over a century of artisanal mastery, innovation, and expressive design, drawing on archival codes and heritage techniques while embracing modern craftsmanship.
The campaign also introduces a new chapter of the Ophidia collection.
Drawing from handbag and accessory silhouettes of the late 1970s, the new Ophidia pieces feature soft GG Monogram coated canvas, green cotton lining, the Double G emblem in polished light gold metal, and the signature Web stripe that boldly defines each silhouette.
A highlight of the campaign is the Mini GG handbag, a new design available for pre-order online and in store, which reimagines the house's signature duffle style in a compact form.

Contouring is back in the game, but it's not as you know it
Perhaps one might recall the days when Kim Kardashian would sculpt her mien to the nines—carving out her cheekbones for her iconic selfies in the early days of the 'gram. Then, she got over it, announcing the hours of 'nontouring', doing away with her OTT style of make-up that she had become synonymous with. The beauty landscape has changed plenty since, and we've since moved into an era when natural, lit-from-within skin takes priority. In 2025 however, a shift is happening again. Gone are the days when contouring was all about bold lines and high definition, but we're not only about the Clean Girl life anymore either. Instead, the new wave is all about soft contours and enhancing one's best features along the way. Recent runway seasons are evidence enough. All over the runways of luxury brands like Gucci, Alaïa and Calvin Klein, the make-up may have leaned minimal, but cheekbones were defined ever so slightly—be it with cool-toned neutrals or simply experimenting with varied blush shades and under eye shading. Gucci fall/winter 2025. IMAXtree The Chloé boho girl, for one, bore nude lips and a skin-like finish to her countenance, but her cheekbones were softly defined to perfection. Jonathan Anderson's triumphant debut Dior show also saw boys saunter down the runway with soft, ruddy cheeks that felt natural and playful. Dior men spring/summer 2026. IMAXtree Chloé fall/winter 2025. IMAXtree No doubt, this shift is being reflected in the beauty market too. '2025's beauty junkie has graduated from the basics of harsh lines, and is contouring with more flair than ever,' starts make-up artist Kenneth Chia. The contour shift This shift in contouring spans a range of methods. 'Think: contouring the philtrum and cupid's bow for fuller lips, using multiple shades of blush to contour and even the South Korean undereye look aka aegyo sal ,' Chia explains further. After all, everyone's face shapes and aesthetics are different, so the important thing to remember is that we need to contour according to what suits our face shape or look best. The tools required With 'soft' contouring, we're trying to be more intentional about defining certain parts of our face. 'So be really precise with the areas you're contouring, and match the brush size to the area of the face you're targeting. This will give you a much softer, more effective result,' Chia advises. 'You should also always check your contour in daylight if possible. A general rule of thumb is that if it looks good in daylight, it'll look good in most other types of light,' he adds. BUY NOW Shop the look To achieve a well-executed, softly-defined mien, your arsenal is just as crucial. Be it contour sticks, specific palette shades or even bronzer powders, Chia recommends you get creative with using what you have to suit the type of contour shade you need. 'Like brow powders for example, which have the perfect range of contour shades for tricky skin tones like olives, which can be hard to find elsewhere.' Below, a judicious shopping list for your contour considerations, including some recommendations from Chia himself. Courtesy of Sephora 1 / 9 Chia's recommendation: Givenchy Prisme Libre Bronzer Powder, $89 'Givenchy's new Prisme Libre Bronzer Powder is super handy with four matte shades for a summer sculpt. I always suggest a minimum of two shades to contour anyway.' Available at Sephora. Courtesy of Chanel 2 / 9 Chia's recommendation: Chanel Beauty Stylo Ombre Et Contour in Contour Clair, $111 'I swear by Chanel Beauty's Stylo Ombre Et Contour (Contour Clair). It's the perfect mix of warm and cool tones, and gives you lots of playtime to blend before it sets.' Available at Chanel. Courtesy of Sephora 3 / 9 Makeup by Mario Sculpt & Pop On-The-Go Contour & Blush Stick Duo, $62 You've got everything you need to create that perfectly lifted look. Apply along cheekbones, forehead or even the jawline, and add on the blush before you blend it all out with a brush to get the softly-sculpted look of your dreams. Available at Sephora. Courtesy of Too Cool For School 4 / 9 Too Cool For School Artclass by Rodin Shading Palette, $15 A K-beauty favourite, Too Cool For School's shading palette has its own legion of fans. With three powder contour shades in one pact, it's easy to layer up and play with different shades—plus it's travel-friendly too. Available at Shopee. Courtesy of Harrods 5 / 9 Tom Ford Beauty Shade and Illuminate Contour Duo, $140 This creamy bad boy will give you the best of both worlds: a deeper shade to create depth and a lighter one to illuminate the centre of your face to give it more definition. Available at Harrods.

If you're targetting your cupid's bow or the under eye area, this palette gives a lighter, more natural powder finish that is easy to build up with a small brush. Available at Sephora. Courtesy of Sephora 8 / 9 Nudestix Tinted Blur Sculpt Stick, $52 Perfectly cool-toned and blends seamlessly, the Nudestix stick has been a mainstay for contour advocates for the longest time. Available at Sephora.

Microsoft to help France showcase Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral in digital replica
Microsoft is teaming up with the French government to create a digital replica of Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral, France's most visited monument, the U.S. tech company's president, Brad Smith, said on Monday. The 862-year-old Gothic masterpiece was reopened last December after a five-year restoration following a devastating fire in 2019. A digital replica will serve as a record of the building's architectural details, Microsoft said. It will also provide a virtual experience for visitors and those unable to visit. The cathedral became a symbol of Paris and France after Victor Hugo used it as a setting for his 1831 novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". Quasimodo, the main character, has been portrayed in Hollywood movies, an animated Disney adaptation and in musicals. Last year, Microsoft worked with Iconem, a French company that specialises in digitalisation of heritage sites, on a digital replica of St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. "One of the things we learned from the work at St Peter's is how a digital twin can help support the ongoing maintenance of a building. Because you capture a digital record of every centimetre and what is there and what it's supposed to look like," Smith told Reuters. "The ability to create a digital twin right now I think will provide an enormously valuable digital record that I believe people are going to be using 100 years from now," he said. Since 2019, Microsoft has digitally preserved heritage sites and events including Ancient Olympia in Greece, Mont Saint-Michel in France and the 80th Anniversary of the Allied Beach Landings in Normandy.
