Carla Fernández Mexico Fall 2025 Collection
The glam of the 1970s is back. On the final day of Mexico Fashion Week, Carla Fernández ditched the traditional runway and took us to a century-old brewery in the heart of Mexico City. In this raw, industrial setting, she unveiled her latest collection, Diva, a tribute to David Bowie, Cher, and Juan Gabriel, icons who redefined freedom and glamour through fashion and music.
The show was presented in three acts. The first clearly paid tribute to Bowie. A cumbia remix of 'Let's Dance' played as a model walked out in a shirt-dress embroidered with the iconic lightning bolt from the Aladdin Sane album. Another look nodded to Bowie's legendary balloon pants designed by Kansai Yamamoto—only through Fernández's lens, they became a take on traditional chaps, referencing pre-Hispanic fertility figurines with their exaggerated hips. The tribute kept flowing with ensembles featuring zigzag side panels on the pants.
Then came Cher's 'Believe,' signaling the start of the second act: a celebration of femininity and empowerment. Fernández's signature designs—constructed from square and rectangular textiles and finished with artisanal embroidery—appeared bolder here, complete with vibrant fringes. Wrap dresses stood out, along with designs featuring side cut-outs.
When asked how she connects glam rock with her mission to keep Mexican craftsmanship alive, Fernández said, 'I imagined them all hanging out in Ciudad Juárez, making music and chatting.' Her goal was to give these global icons a Mexican identity. 'It's like glam meets charro. It's glam from Ahuirán, Michoacán.'
The third and final act embraced a glam aesthetic via Juan Gabriel, the late Mexican singer/songwriter. Models wore ponchos and charro pants embroidered in golden thread, plus a cape adorned with silver 'milagritos.' And in the parallel universe where these icons might have all met in Ciudad Juárez, the bride who closed the show—wearing a dress that carried ice-cold beers ready to serve—would've been right there with them.

Michelle Obama releasing style book after looks 'constantly dissected' in White House
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is releasing a book looking back at her favorite fashion and style moments over the years. Obama said she wanted to write the beauty book, titled "The Look," to "reclaim" her story after her looks were scrutinized during her time in the White House. "During our family's time in the White House, the way I looked was constantly being dissected — what I wore, how my hair was styled," she wrote in an Instagram announcement. "For a while now, I've been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way. I'm thankful to be at a stage in life where I feel comfortable expressing myself freely — wearing what I love and doing what feels true to me. And I'm excited to share some of what I've learned along the way," she added. The $50 book, to be released on November 4, features more than 200 photographs of the former first lady, including never-before-published images, according to publisher Crown Publishing Group. Obama said the book will give readers a behind-the-scenes look at her most memorable looks and the meaningful moments that accompanied them. It will also introduce readers to her style team from over the years. "The Look is about more than fashion. It's about confidence. It's about identity. It's about the power of authenticity," Obama said in her social media announcement. "My hope is that this book sparks conversation and reflection about the ways we see ourselves — and the way our society defines beauty." Obama has spoken out before about her style being scrutinized during her time in the White House. During the book tour for her 2022 book, "The Light We Carry," Obama revealed that she straightened her hair while her husband Barack Obama was in office because she didn't feel Americans were ready to accept her natural hair. The American people were "just getting adjusted" to having a Black president and weren't "ready" to see the first lady's hair in braids, she believed, according to a report in The Washington Post. "Let me keep my hair straight," Obama said of her thoughts at the time. "Let's get healthcare passed." In April, Obama revealed that fashion was one reason she skipped President Donald Trump's second inauguration. "It started with not having anything to wear," Obama said on her podcast, "IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson." "I mean, I had affirmatively, cause I'm always prepared for any funeral, anything," Obama added. "I walk around with the right dress, I travel with clothes just in case something pops off. So I was like, if I'm not going to do this thing, I got to tell my team, I don't even want to have a dress ready, right? Because it's so easy to just say, let me do the right thing."

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Clip Teases a Tragic Origin, Galactus, and a Whole Lot of Multiverse Mayhem — GeekTyrant
Some Marvel fans got a surprise taste of The Fantastic Four: First Steps over the weekend, thanks to a clip from the Marvel movie that screened during CCXP in Mexico and may have revealed a major piece of the MCU's bigger puzzle. According to Inverse (translating coverage from Omelete), the scene shows Marvel's First Family escaping a crumbling planet, one that's apparently in the process of being devoured by none other than Galactus. As the Silver Surfer chases down their ship, Sue Storm goes into labor, and Johnny Storm fights off the Silver Surfer as Reed Richards steps help his wife deliver the baby. As this is all going on, Ben Grimm pilots the ship into a black hole. Some fans seem to think that the scene could also confirm a theory that's been making the rounds since we all saw Thunderbolts* post-credits stinger. The theory is that the Fantastic Four team couldn't protect their world from being destroyed by Galactus, which forces them to find a new home, and this is where Earth-616 enters the picture. Of course, that's all speculation. It's just as likely they're trying to stop Galactus from reaching Earth by intercepting him early. This would place the clip as a second-act low point, where our heroes get a taste of what they're up against, barely escape, and live to fight another day. It's also worth noting that Marvel chose this scene to showcase at a fan convention. That suggests it's not some big third-act spoiler. More likely, it's a midpoint moment that sets the emotional and cosmic stakes moving forward. The new Fantastic Four movie unfolds in a slick, retro-futuristic alternate universe that riffs on the 1960s, which is an era where the Fantastic Four are the only known superheroes. Marvel's been pretty open about that setup, and they've confirmed that Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will reprise their roles in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars . It's clear The Fantastic Four: First Steps is aiming for something big, epic stakes with emotional core, all powered by that team chemistry we've seen teased so far.

Miley Cyrus Traverses Trends in Shorts Over Tights and a Naked Dress
Miley Cyrus's Something Beautiful album rollout has been nothing short of a bona fide fashion fest. From the fall 1997 Mugler couture album cover to the sparkling archival Roberto Cavalli minidress she wore to perform at the Chateau Marmont. But while stylist Bradley Kenneth has dressed Cyrus in scores of timeless vintage pieces, the pair are also diving into trends past and present. Yesterday, for a performance at Rough Trade, Cyrus continued to embrace sparkle in a black halter top embroidered with sequins and a beaded fringe. But on the bottom, she tested a trend that was popular during her Hannah Montana days: denim shorts over tights. This was no teeny-bopper Disney costume look, though. The singer wore her tight blue cuffed denim cutoffs over a pair of low-denier fishnet tights. She added a few final touches with sleek Gentle Monster x Maison Margiela sunglasses and a pair of black-and-white knee-high boots with the telltale red Louboutin sole. XNY/Star Max Later in the day, Cyrus embraced a more contemporary trend: naked dressing. The singer signed autographs in a diaphanous black Ludovic de Saint Sernin dress, an interpretation of the opening look from spring 2025. Cyrus isn't the only one to flock to this look; Meghann Fahy wore a champagne sequin iteration to the premiere of Drop in April. But accessorized with a gold collar necklace, Saint Laurent sunglasses, and strappy black sandals, Cyrus is adding the sheer trend into her repertoire with ease. In fact, whether she's rocking the naked dress or jorts over tights, Miley Cyrus has managed to fold anything into her glam rock style.
