Style Edit: Gucci merges timeless elegance with avant-garde flair in its 2025 collection, showcasing exquisite high jewellery, innovative timepieces and a striking collaboration with Pomellato
Gucci revisits some of the Italian luxury brand's most iconic lines while also striking out into bold new territory. Recently unveiled at a special event at Gucci's flagship on Paris' Avenue Montaigne, it features additions to classic high jewellery and high watchmaking collections, alongside a daring new collaboration with

The
Labirinti Gucci collection continues its exploration of a lush Italian garden, which began in 2024. Among 20 new pieces, stand-outs include a close-fitting necklace showcasing lines of articulated diamonds offset by the round-cut 24.75-carat tanzanite and cushion-cut tourmaline at their centre, while another diamond-encrusted necklace features the glittering stones in a macramé pattern surrounding a 52.86-carat octagonal Brazilian aquamarine and oval tanzanites.

The
horsebit motif so intimately associated with Gucci, meanwhile, shows up on rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, enlivened by a selection of stones that includes sapphires, tsavorites and diamonds. Another Gucci classic, the Marina chain, gets the full rainbow treatment, with necklaces and bracelets brought to life by a spectrum of gems.

Seven new timepieces form part of Gucci's 2025 offering, among them five intricate additions to the G-Timeless collection. Each showing off diamond-set tourbillon movements and measuring 40mm, they take their aesthetic cues from
the silk scarves for which the maison is so well known. They include a rendering of the Flora scarf in white gold, diamonds and white grand feu enamelling, as well as beautiful reinterpretations of the Velieri, Perle and Safari scarves, plus another that pays tribute to one of Gucci's most common sources of inspiration, equestrian sport.
There's also the Gucci 25H Amphitheater, inspired by ancient Rome's Colosseum, a 40mm skeleton tourbillon version of the coveted model first introduced in 2021, featuring a staggered diamond setting and a case just 8.4mm thick; and a new 41mm rose gold Gucci Interlocking, set with a constellation of diamonds in different sizes.

Finally for 2025, Gucci has joined forces with another powerhouse of Italian design, Pomellato, to craft the Monili collection, meaning 'jewels' in Italian. The necklaces, bracelets and clutches in the collection are homages to archival pieces from the 1980s produced by the storied jeweller. They include a cute minaudière in black leather with a wrist strap chain in white gold with pavé diamonds, and bracelets featuring flowing, sensuous loops and knots made from the same materials.

Is Alexandra Saint Mleux sport's most fashionable WAG? F1 driver Charles Leclerc's girlfriend is known for her race day looks by Sau Lee and Jacquemus – and has partnered with Rhode and Meshki
Alexandra Saint Mleux may not be getting behind the wheel on race weekends, but she's certainly one of the most recognisable faces in the Formula One paddock. The 23-year-old girlfriend of Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has claimed her title as the sport's 'It girl' with her impeccable style and elegant demeanour. Alexandra Saint Mleux, Formula One star Charles Leclerc's girlfriend, is known for her impeccable style. Photo: @alexandrasaintmleux/Instagram While she maintains a career in arts – she studied the subject and currently runs an art-focused Instagram page – Saint Mleux's eye for fashion is what's getting her plenty of attention. In just over a year, Saint Mleux's previously private Instagram account skyrocketed from under 1,000 followers to nearly 2.5 million, thanks largely to her incredibly chic appearances at numerous Formula One races and events. That fashionable profile has catapulted Saint Mleux into partnerships with a range of well-known brands – she's worked with Hailey Bieber's Rhode and in May, debuted her resortwear collection with Australian label Meshki during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend. Advertisement From China to Italy and the UK, here are five recent looks that have cemented Saint Mleux's status as F1's style icon. Cheongsam-inspired Sau Lee dress in Shanghai, China In March, Alexandra Saint Mleux stunned fans at the Shanghai Grand Prix when she showed up at the paddock wearing this dress by Hong Kong label Sau Lee. Earlier this year, Saint Mleux stole the spotlight at the Shanghai Grand Prix with looks that paid homage to Chinese heritage. On March 21, she stepped into the paddock wearing a black minidress by Hong Kong-based label Sau Lee that featured a Mandarin collar and red knotted accents in a nod to the traditional cheongsam. She added a modern twist with red ballet flats and dark sunglasses, perfectly matching the outfit's colour palette. For the finishing touch, Saint Mleux blended fashion, motorsport and romance by carrying a custom Ferrari Style Maranello clutch inspired by Leclerc's personal Daytona SP3. She ended the weekend with a soft pink co-ord that featured another cheongsam-style top, and Sau Lee's Vanessa midi dress in black, which she paired with a Saint Laurent Cinq-a-Sept mini bag and patent leather stiletto boots.

Victoria Beckham on the upcoming Netflix documentary she says David Beckham talked her into, her Patek Philippe collection – and why security guards are the most important people in her stores
For someone who has been famous since the late 1990s, Victoria Beckham is surprisingly busy in the 2020s. After many years in the red, her eponymous fashion company Victoria Beckham Holdings Ltd, is back on the road to profitability – no small thing for an independent luxury fashion brand. Beckham also introduced a successful fragrance line two years ago, and became the accidental star of a Netflix documentary series about her husband David Beckham. Her charming, funny cameos showed a playful and relatable side to the megawatt couple, they of the matching purple Versace wedding outfits Victoria Beckham's pre-spring/summer 2026 collection at Centurion New York was the first time her resort collection was shown in person. Photo: @victoriabeckham/Instagram Advertisement This year is looking no less buzzy for Victoria. For the first time ever, she showed her resort collection in person, rather than digitally, at a glamorous trunk show at Centurion New York. In autumn, Beckham will be the star of her own Netflix docuseries, which will follow her day to day as the creative director of her fashion and beauty brands. Victoria Beckham will star in her own Netflix documentary later in the year, following her journey from singer to fashion designer.

Our conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity. A model wearing a Victoria Beckham dress from the spring 2025 collection. Photo: @victoriabeckham/Instagram So what made you decide to show this latest collection in New York? I was having brunch with Thom Browne and Anna Wintour a few months ago, as you do, and she said to me, 'You should come back to New York and show one of your collections.' It's something that I've been thinking about for a while, because I showed my first ever collection here in New York in 2008. New York has been such a huge part of my story so far. I was approached by Amex to come over here, and it just worked perfectly to do it. Were you nervous when you did that first presentation in 2008?

Meet Snejyo, the Insta-famous sisters bringing back maximalism: Hermès and Chanel obsessed Indian siblings Snehal and Jyoti Babani first went viral last year for their OTT matching looks
Until recently, the consensus around fashion on social media seemed to be that less is more. Understated elegance at a hefty price tag has been the ethos of quiet luxury – a trend that gained traction in 2023 and was embraced by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and perfected by brands like The Row. But now it's 2025, and the reliably cyclical nature of fashion means that maximalism is once again on the rise – layering and loud patterns are back in style. On the runway, creative directors Alessandro Michele and Glenn Martens' much-anticipated debut haute couture collections for Valentino and Maison Margiela featured voluminous silhouettes and playful textures; and for the perennially online community, no one embodies this new trend like the Instagram- and TikTok-famous Babani sisters. Advertisement For a while, Snehal and Jyoti Babani managed to avoid mainstream media attention, despite being regular fixtures at the major runway shows. That was until the pair – collectively known as Snejyo – went viral for wearing head-to-toe Hermès in 2024. Despite their love of logomaxing (at the Hermès spring/summer 2025 show last September they literally accessorised their main Hermès Kelly bags with mini and micro Kellys), the sisters have kept a low profile. Even their shared Instagram account, which boasts over 61 thousand followers, is private. Snejyo holding Hermès Kelly bags that are in turn accessorised with mini and micro Kelly bags.

In June, the sisters finally shared several photos of themselves dressed to the nines in coordinating Chanel outfits for the haute couture spring/summer show in Paris that took place back in January.
