Christian Louboutin celebrated its Sartorial line at Hôtel de Crillon
In the Salon des Batailles, guests discovered the delicate gestures of artisans revealing three of the House's signature techniques: the patine, the glaçage, and the embroidery of Maison Lesage while in the Salon des Aigles, four performers embodied '24 hours in the life of a dandy' through a poetic choreography, dressed in key silhouettes from the collection. The final chapter unfolded in the Salon Marie-Antoinette, where the Chambeliss line took center stage— with style displayed like objets d'art in a billiard-inspired installation. Sartorial Line.

Sunglasses collaborations for summer 2025: Ray-Ban, Oakley, Komono
Trends fade, but sunglasses remain the ultimate summer essential. In time for the holiday season, we showcase three collaborations that will make passers-by take their glasses off for a closer look. A$AP Rocky for Ray-Ban At the start of the year, A$AP Rocky was appointed creative director of eyewear brand Ray-Ban. The US designer and musician, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is the first person to hold this title at the eyewear brand. He presented the first three sunglasses models as part of Paris Men's Fashion Week, Ray-Ban announced on Friday. These present the collaborative partners as 'The Next Generation', which goes hand in hand with the futuristic look of the models. 'The Next Generation' models by A$AP Rocky x Ray-Ban Credits: Ray-Ban Each of the three models is 'a true style statement, in which design, art and music merge'. Depending on the model, they rely on solid frames, temples or a continuous visor, as with the 'Ultra Wrap 002' sunglasses. In addition to this series, Rocky and Ray-Ban have also launched the Wayfarer Puffer sunglasses, which are available in seven colours. The designer presents the iconic Ray-Ban Wayfarer model with a more playful approach that appears somewhat more three-dimensional than the original frame. In addition to the Ray-Ban branding, the logo of Rocky's streetwear brand, AWGE, can also be seen at the end of the temple.

While the Wayfarer Puffer costs 173 euros, the 'The Next Generation' models cost between 650 and 670 euros. Daily Paper x Oakley The US brand Oakley, which, like Ray-Ban, belongs to the French eyewear specialist EssilorLuxottica, is joining forces with Daily Paper this summer. The Amsterdam streetwear brand has repeatedly incorporated Oakley models into the styling of its shoots. Now the brands are bringing back the 'Gascan' sunglasses, which were originally launched in the early 2000s, with an update. Daily Paper uses its 'afrofuturistic lens' for this. Djibril Cissé for Daily Paper x Oakley Credits: Daily Paper / Oakley The sunglasses are available in the brands' online shops and at selected retailers for 165 euros. Oakley Plantaris Ti This is not the only futuristic model that Oakley has in store. With the 'Plantaris Ti' model, the iconic brand, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, is focusing on a mixture of instinct and innovation, Oakley announced on Tuesday. It is also a reinterpretation of the Oakley 'Plantaris' sunglasses. The model is intended to show how Oakley envisions the year 2075. The temples are adjustable and the nose pad is removable to customise the look. The design of the temples and the transparent silicone ends are inspired by frog legs and reveal the 'vein-like inner structure', according to the announcement.

Komono x Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp Those who are not looking for futuristic sunglasses, but still want to 'think outside the box', will find a suitable model in the latest collaboration between Komono and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. As part of its ongoing collaboration with the fashion school, the Belgian brand has once again given three talents a platform. Chloë Reners, Delara Tavassoti and Sybrand Jansen have explored the concept of reconstruction. Jansen has created an ode to objects at the end of their life cycle, marked by time, Komono announced. The basis for this is a discarded pair of glasses that the aspiring designer noticed on the street. Instead of perfect restoration, he accepted the damaged form and transferred it into his own variant. Sybrand Jansen – Komono x RAFAA Credits: Komono, Wout Vloeberghs (right) Jansen's model, as well as those by Reners and Tavassoti, are available in Komono's physical and digital stores, as well as at selected retail partners. They all cost 249 euros. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

Madame Tussauds unveils 13 new Taylor Swift figures
Madame Tussauds has unveiled 13 new Taylor Swift figures that will go on display in different countries. The wax doubles, which will be exhibited across four different continents, draw inspiration from Swift's juggernaut Eras Tour, which came to an end in December 2024. Advertisement Details of the figures, each of them a nod to one of Swift's albums, were revealed on Wednesday. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Madame Tussauds London (@madametussauds) The figures will appear in the Amsterdam, Berlin, Blackpool, Budapest, Hollywood, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, London, Nashville, New York, Orlando and Sydney attractions, with a touring figure kicking off its residency in Shanghai. Among the wax works included in the project is a figure that takes inspiration from Swift's Wembley Stadium performances in June 2024, which saw her wear an orange Versace leotard embellished with pink and purple detailing while performing songs from her 2019 album Lover. The replica, which will be displayed in London, is finished with matching, crystallised ombre, Christian Louboutin boots. Advertisement Blackpool's figure is a recreation of the Ashish red-to-black, ombre, embellished playsuit that Swift wore on tour as part of her Red era and there is also a Speak Now-inspired double that wears a lilac Nicole And Felicia embellished ballgown featuring an ombre, tiered, tulle skirt. Finished with a complementary blue to purple detailed microphone, this look, inspired by Swift's 2010 album Speak Now, will go on display at the Madame Tussauds in Hollywood. Taking centre stage in Las Vegas is a gold-fringed look that pays tribute to her Fearless era. The Roberto Cavalli mini-dress, worn throughout the Eras Tour, has been recreated by the designer for this new figure and is accompanied by crystallized Christian Louboutin knee-high boots, donated by the fashion house, and a matching gold-to-black glittered microphone. Advertisement Elsewhere, Nashville's figure takes inspiration from her Eras Tour performance in the city in a replica of Etro's floor-length, mustard-coloured dress, which she performed in while singing songs from her 2020 album Evermore. Taylor Swift's Lover look, which will be displayed at Madame Tussauds London (Madame Tussauds/PA) Over in Orlando, Swift is dressed in a black, sequined, Roberto Cavalli catsuit with red snake embellishment detail and matching boots – an outfit she wore on tour while performing songs from 2017's Reputation. The Swift figure in New York wears a multi-coloured tinsel jacket and midnight blue Zuhair Murad embellished playsuit with fringe detailing in a nod to her 2022 album Midnights. Madame Tussauds said this it its 'biggest figure launch to date' after it unveiled eight Lady Gaga figures in 2010 and seven Harry Styles figures in 2023. Advertisement Laura Sheard, global brand director at Madame Tussauds, said: 'The phenomenal success of her record-smashing tour is the perfect moment for Madame Tussauds to immortalise (her) with 13 figures – Taylor's lucky number – across four continents to ensure we're reaching as many fans as possible. 'We just know they are going to love it as much as we do. Danielle Cullen, Madame Tussauds' senior figure stylist, said: 'This is the most ambitious project in Madame Tussauds' 250-year history which only feels right to reflect the stratospheric status of Taylor Swift. The Reputation figure will be displayed in Orlando (Madame Tussauds/PA) 'We're honoured to have worked closely with fashion houses like Roberto Cavalli, Vivienne Westwood, Versace, Christian Louboutin, Alberta Ferretti and Etro to recreate some of the Taylor Swift The Eras Tour's most iconic looks – many of which will have special significance to the cities the 13 new figures will call home. Advertisement 'It feels a fitting celebration to give Swifties the chance to commemorate moments from this once-in-a-generation tour in a way that only Madame Tussauds can.' Swift, 35, wrapped up her billion-dollar, record-breaking Eras Tour in December 2024 having started the mammoth string of dates in March 2023. Swift's sold-out gigs at the Aviva Stadium saw a record 150,000 concert-goers enjoy the three-day extravaganza. Last summer, she made history as the first solo artist to perform at London's Wembley Stadium eight times on a single tour. The Cruel Summer singer has been topping the charts for years and was crowned the global recording artist of the year for a fifth time by the IFPI earlier this year after breaking records and selling out arenas throughout 2024. She has had 30 top 10 singles in the UK chart and 13 number one albums and has also won 14 Grammys.

Nicole Scherzinger, 47, sizzles in a fringed black dress as she leaves her hotel in New York City
Nicole Scherzinger sizzled in a figure-hugging dress as she was seen leaving her hotel in New York City on Monday. The former Pussycat Doll, 47, looked incredible as she strutted in her ankle-length, backless black dress. She added inches to her frame as she slipped into a pair of black Christian Louboutin platform heels. To accessorise, the actress upped the glamour with a pair of large diamond dangly earrings. In an elegant display, Nicole slicked back her raven tresses into a sleek ponytail which trailed down her back. Her appearance in the city comes after she flaunted her incredible body in a skimpy swimsuit, as she rung in her birthday over the weekend earlier this month. The Tony winner - who has 'shelved her upcoming solo album' - jumped to her Instagram page to upload a clip as she spent time on the sandy shore of a beach to ring in the special milestone. The beauty showcased her toned figure wearing a black and white-striped bikini top as well as matching bottoms. Nicole's long, dark locks were parted to the side and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in natural waves. The performer struck a variety of poses for the camera as she had a blast while waves crashed down around her at the tropical destination. At one point, Nicole also added a large hat on top of her head as the warm sun shone down on her. The star added text over the reel which read, 'POV: People born in 2000 are turning 25... and so am I.' And in the caption of the post, the songstress penned to her 7.1 million followers: '46 you were Golden!✨.' Nicole additionally shared another video as she flashed her sculpted abs while meditating near the ocean. The Broadway performer was filmed sitting cross-legged near the shallow water as the sun began to set in the distance. The camera moved around behind Nicole to offer a scenic view of the orange sun setting far off in the horizon. 'Reflecting with deep gratitude as another year rises on the horizon,' she wrote. 'So grateful for every breath, for every sunrise and sunset. Thank you God for another year.' Along with enjoying a relaxing beach day, the beauty further celebrated her birthday with a group of pals inside what appeared to be a club. She uploaded snippets from the bash and put on a leggy display wearing a dazzling ensemble with shimmering, tasseled details. Nicole danced the night away while indulging in tasty snacks such as savory pizza and sipped on refreshing drinks. 'Thank you so much for all the birthday love and wishes❣️,' the singer typed out alongside the reel as Lizzo's track Birthday Girl played in the background. When it comes to her fit physique, the former lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls has previously opened up about her fitness regime. Scherzinger's long, dark locks were parted to the side and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in natural waves During a past interview with Women's Health, Nicole expressed, 'I like to switch it up and try new things, but most recently, I've just been pretty consistent with more HIIT workouts.' However, she still likes to branch out to try out other routines when it comes to fitness. 'I love doing everything from SoulCycle spinning and climbing to boxing and dance cardio. It's really good to always keep your body guessing and to always switch it up.' Scherzinger also dished on her diet, which includes intermittent fasting and having balance. 'If I have some frozen fruit laying around, I'll make an oat milk smoothie. Sometimes I'll put turmeric powder in it, which is delicious and anti-inflammatory.' She also indulges in yummy snacks, such as Cheetos and allows herself to enjoy desserts. 'I love red velvet cake with cream cheese icing; carrot cake with cream cheese icing... I love muffins and cake.' Nicole has been keeping busy and recently won a Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance in Sunset Blvd. She has taken on the lead role of Norma Desmond in the production and will play the character until July 20. While recently talking to People, Scherzinger recalled returning to the stage one day after her Tony win. 'I had never experienced anything like that in my life. It was absolutely incredible,' she expressed. The star added that the audience would often erupt into a standing ovation during the show. Following one song, Nicole said, 'I think it was, like, a three- or four-minute standing ovation. After a while, I was like, "This is embarrassing. You all need to sit down."' However, the singer explained that she was grateful for the moment and called it 'rewarding.' 'It was saved up over a lifetime, and it all happened in that moment, and it just richly, deeply filled my heart and my soul. It was beyond rewarding. I'll never forget it. Everything just felt on fire.' She continued, 'The cast was fired up, obviously, winning the Tony for best show, revival. I mean, that was huge. Everybody just felt the energy. 'It was a lot of work that we had put into it. It was beautiful. Everything was just on another level. It was vibrating and it was crazy. It was beyond electric.' Nicole is reportedly also in 'early talks' for a Las Vegas residency amid her Broadway success. A source told The Mirror this month, 'Nicole is achieving all her career dreams this year. 'She's conquered Broadway and won a well-deserved Tony, but Nicole has no plans to slow down her career, not when she's in her absolute prime and in such demand.' The residency - which has yet to be officically finalized - will be similar to her time at Carnegie Hall later this year in October, which includes a live band as she performs a blend of pop and Broadway tracks.
