The It girl's guide to bermuda shorts
If hot pants ruled the hemlines of last summer, this season's silhouette of choice has taken a more measured approach. Enter, bermuda shorts. Straddling the style line between modest and modern, the once-retired knee-grazer has returned, spotted everywhere from runways to the streets in iterations that feel more polished and contemporary. Whether its cut from rugged denim or airy linen, bermudas have proven to take the cake on versatility—offering just enough coverage without compromising on edge.
If you need any further proof that bermudas are back in full force, look no further than the spring/summer 2025 runways. From Dior to Chanel, the silhouette made frequent appearances in shows. The Dior spring/summer 2025 ready‑to‑wear show featured an immersive fusion of athleticism and elevated glamour under Maria Grazia Chiuri's vision. Among the highlights was a standout pair of black jacquard technical taffeta bermuda shorts, etched with the archival Dior Graphique motif and finished with an elastic drawstring waist and zip pockets—a couture take on athletic allure. These bermudas were styled alongside coordinating bomber jackets, reinforcing the show's blend of performance wear and runway polish. Chanel hopped on the knee-length train at their spring/summer 2025 show as well where they offered a sophisticated reimagining of classic elegance infused with contemporary ease, under Virginie Viard's direction. The collection showcased bermuda shorts crafted from luxe tweed, a signature Chanel fabric elevated for warmer months. Coordinated with structured jackets and accessorised with mid-calf boots, the ensemble created a look that balanced tradition and modernity.

Off the runway, bermudas are coming out of retirement to become the comfortable yet fashionable go-to for it-girls across the globe. Spotted in New York, Suki Waterhouse was seen strutting the streets of the Big Apple in a full white ensemble, sporting a pair of distressed denim bermuda shorts paired with a structured white blazer, then finished with bold pink knee-high boots that sparkled with each step. Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow took a more polished approach, recently sharing a snapshot featuring tailored bermuda shorts matched with an oversized blue-button down shirt, an outfit she deemed as one of her 'spring essentials'.

So now you're sold on bermudas—but where to start? These five styles are leading the charge, making it easy to find a pair that speaks to your both your mood and your wardrobe. Cargo styles channel utility cool when worn with a fitted tank and sneakers, while denim bermudas feel effortless with a baby tee and strappy sandals. Gwyneth Paltrow taught us that tailored versions shine with crisp shirting or boxy blazers, perfect for the office or dressed-up errands. Athleisure takes lean into comfort, easily styled with sporty tanks, baseball caps and retro sneakers. And for vacation-ready ease, linen bermudas pair best with breezy tops and minimalist slides. No matter your style code, one thing's certain: bermudas are no longer a fashion outlier—they're the summer staple with staying power.

Diorshow spotlights the eyes with a collection that exude an electrifying, powerful allure
Always longed for eyes that steal the spotlight? The new Diorshow collection provides an entire wardrobe for the eyes, including the Diorshow Overvolume, a ready-to-wear formula that loads instantly and coats lashes in a deep black shade with a satin-matte finish using the high-performance brush. Image courtesy of Dior. Image courtesy of Dior. This new mascara successfully combines extreme volume and lash-by-lash definition, using a combination of soft waxes and emollients to create a malleable formula for buildable volume and curve from root to tip, that keeps lashes supple. Its formula includes D-Panthenol to help revitalise, coat and strengthen eyelashes, Abyssinian Oil to nourish the eyelashes, and cornflower water to comfort the application. Image courtesy of Dior. Featuring a deep black lashes and 24-hours no-transfer wear, the combination of structural and rigid waxes coat eyelashes to set curve and volume over time, gripping the lash while optimising curve and length. The brush houses a central reservoir that collects the mascara to deliver the right dose from the first sweep without clumping, and the bristles at the tip provide additional precision during makeup application. Image courtesy of Dior. Image courtesy of Dior. Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup Peter Philips reinterprets the Diorshow 5 Couleurs palettes in four limited-edition colour harmonies to embellish and redefine the eyes. Soft yet highly pigmented variations across neutral shades gives you the ability to play with satin, matte or shimmering shades to easily create a bespoke eye look. Image courtesy of Dior. These colour harmonies include Silk Taupe with its blending beige tones interspersed with a hint of pale pink and a cool brown; Coral Couture with its soft, warm tones heightened by a hint of luminous coral; Rose Organza with its hot pinks combined with a subtle iridescent white; and Brown Cashmere with its nudes in warm brown shades offset by a dark brown. A must-have for makeup routines, the Diorshow Liquid Liner returns in a new formula with a new shimmer finish. Its waterproof formula incorporates an ink that emphasises the eyes with intense colour in the satin and pearl finishes, and a light veil of colour in the shimmer finish, for a 24-hours no-transfer result. Together with the fine and flexible high-precision felt tip, you'll be able to precisely draw fine or bold lines with no fuss. Image courtesy of Dior. In order to create looks that range from natural to bold, Peter Philips has created a wardrobe of 10 shades in three couture finishes: satin, pearl and shimmer, a new glitter finish. Two shades to look out for are the Shimmer Rose & Shimmer Mint which contain a subtle, light colour base that reveals radiant iridescence, and can be applied along the lower lash line or toward the inner corner of the eye to naturally catch the light in these areas to brighten the eyes.

Solar Power: The radiant sunlight of Fred high jewellery
Sunlight. So primal, powerful and the catalyst for which we view things of beauty. It's the inspiration behind First Light, the new collection of high jewellery by the French maison Fred. The collection follows the earlier Inner Light and Ideal Light collections, rounding out a light-themed triptych. In this new expression, a chapter titled Soleil d'Or Sunrise traces the story of one of the maison's most cherished heritage gems—the over-a-hundred-carat Soleil d'Or yellow diamond first encountered in 1977 and reacquired by Fred in 2021—and turns it into modern high jewellery meant to be worn every day. A 1977 image of Margaux Hemingway and the Soleil d'Or yellow diamond. Getty At the heart of this solar story (Soleil d'Or translates to golden sunlight) is a necklace in white gold with draped lines of diamonds that evoke the rays of a sun. Intense yet diffused through clouds, Fred evinced the sun's luminosity through a beguiling mix of yellow and white diamonds. Yellow diamonds grain-set on white gold and white diamonds set on yellow gold claws. The effect: a more nuanced, well-blended effect of warmth. Courtesy of Fred A twist of savoir-faire: the jeweller has inverted the traditional method of setting diamonds on matching colours of gold. Instead, white diamonds are claw-set on yellow gold, and yellow diamonds are grainset on white gold so that this two-tone palette blends exceptionally beautifully. At its heart, naturally, is a two-carat yellow diamond that pays tribute to its eponymous gem. Vogue Singapore's July/August 2025 'Home' is out on newsstands online.
