Miu Miu's Upcycled Capsule Is Rewriting The Fashion Rule Book
Miu Miu is known for its playful rebellion. The edgy little sister, the girl who pairs a slip dress with distressed sneakers.
Now, once again, the fashion house is rewriting the rulebook with the Upcycled by Miu Miu collection.
Launched as part of Miu Miu's commitment to sustainability, the collection focuses on bringing new life to pre-loved garments, giving them a modern twist. Think lace slips, deconstructed denim, hand-finished outerwear – this is nostalgia, but reworked. And, of course, entirely Miu Miu.
Originally launched in 2020 with a small edit of repurposed military jackets and vintage denim, Miu Miu's Upcycled initiative has since evolved into something much more. No longer just a capsule, it's now a defining part of the house's DNA. In this creative space, heritage fabrics meet experimental silhouettes and innovative craftsmanship, rewriting nostalgia with a modern edge.
Miu Miu's decision to lean into pre-loved material feels both refreshing and relevant and impossibly chic. A deliberate shift away from the new-for-new-sake model, and toward something more intimate, personal, and circular.

Each piece in the latest Upcycled collection is crafted from carefully sourced vintage garments, then reimagined by Miu Miu's ateliers with great attention to detail.
Think oversized collars edged in delicate lace, blazers reworked from deadstock wool, and mini dresses that carry the faded glow of another era. No two pieces are alike, and that's exactly the point.
Accessories echo the same upcycled energy: miniature bags, bow-trimmed flats, and details that feel both nostalgic and new. The palette leans into that mood too, soft, stormy greys, dusty pinks, worn-in whites. The result is romantic, undone, and quietly powerful.
The Upcycled collection is playful, tactile, and full of texture, the kind of wardrobe that holds meaning but still knows how to have fun. It oozes character, feels softly subversive, and is impossible not to want. In other words, it's Miu Miu doing what it does best
The collection is available now, in selected boutiques and online. But, as with everything vintage, once it's gone, it's gone.

Are Kylie Jenner & Timothée Chalamet Still Together?
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner attend the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Centre for the Performing Arts on March 02, 2025, in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/VF25/WireImage for Vanity Fair) While no one saw their romance coming, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been one of Hollywood's most endearing pairings. So whenever there's a hint at trouble in paradise, fans naturally spiral into a panic. But thanks to fresh intel from Hungary, it seems the couple are indeed still together. Yesterday, Jenner and Chalamet, who have been the subject of growing split speculation in recent weeks, appeared arm in arm at Budapest Baristas café, where staff shared a smiling selfie with their unexpected guests. Jenner was dressed in a sleek black tank top while Chalamet wore a T-shirt over his head and a baseball cap for the photo. While his look was an interesting choice, the actor has been consistently sporting it for months now. Just last month in St. Tropez, Chalamet had hidden beneath both a bandanna and a hat, strolling hand-in-hand with Jenner. The incognito styling is widely believed to be disguising a freshly shaved buzzcut, courtesy of his ongoing work on Dune: Messiah . Image via Fans were quick to declare the sighting a definitive rebuttal to breakup rumours. The couple's relative absence from public view was, according to People , simply the result of conflicting schedules. While Chalamet is busy filming in Budapest, Jenner remains in California, balancing motherhood with her own business empire. 'Even though Kylie has a private jet, the flight is still 12 hours,' the source explained to the outlet. 'She's a mum and she works as well. She has a lot of responsibilities in LA. Timothée's schedule is gruelling, with very little downtime.' 'They FaceTime most days,' they added. 'They miss each other… [but] they're used to this kind of schedule.'

Villa/Getty Images) The Kylie Cosmetics mogul, mother to Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3, shares her children with ex Travis Scott, whom she split from in 2022. By 2023, she and Chalamet had become one of Hollywood's most compelling pairings. Though their whirlwind romance seemed to get serious pretty quickly, the two have kept a low-key presence, only making their red carpet debut this May in Rome.

Miu Miu Beauty is Back With Miutine Eau de Parfum, an Ode to Joyful Rebellion
Photo by Chaumont Zaerpour Youthful irreverence in a bottle! Miutine Eau de Parfum marks a major moment for the spirited fashion house — a re-emergence of Miu Miu Beauty and a fresh license to spread its audacious wings into the fragrance world. And this scent is no ordinary spritz, absolutely not just another set of pretty notes to simply dab on one's wrist. The elements of Miutine — the name of which is a play on the French word 'mutine,' meaning rebel — bring to life the very ethos of Miu Miu, and a rare opportunity to play by one's own rules. The Scent of Rebellion To capture the essence of this character who exudes a wide, knowing smile with a mischievous wink and nod, master perfumer Dominique Ropion put an iconic twist on a chypre composition of bright citrus, florals and an earthy patchouli base by adding a pop of wild strawberry and sumptuous brown sugar accords. The result: an unexpected, cheeky take on a traditional feminine fragrance. 'I started with a classic and I twisted it with a surprising resonance, a harmony of mischievous freshness and opulent sensuality,' she says. When it came to sourcing notes, specifics were key. Ropion chose Mara des Bois strawberries, a unique variety available for harvest just once a year. The juicy, jammy flesh of these berries is renowned amongst the culinary set in Paris, often becoming the nectar of choice for fine French pastry chefs. 'The vibrancy and regressive aspect of wild strawberry brings a lively and cheerful dimension to the scent, evoking a sense of joy and spontaneity,' she says. A Face That Resonates Emma Corrin stars in the Miu Miu Beauty Miutine campaign / Photo by Chaumont Zaerpour Who better to bring the scent to life than boundary-breaking English actor Emma Corrin, the very embodiment of the Miu Miu vibe? In the campaign directed by filmmaker Hailey Benton Gates, they browse a towering bookshelf in a whimsical library, searching for the perfect word in a dictionary before landing on 'Miutine' and literally bringing the word to vivid reality. 'The scent represents all the aspects that I treasure and respect the most in myself and others; rebellion, expression, originality. It's one for the free spirits,' says the Golden Globe winner, next up in Netflix's adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. From Brand to Bottle Miu Miu Beauty Miutine Eau de Parfum, $172 for 100ml. SHOP NOW For those who've coveted Miu Miu's accessories, the fragrance bottle offers an opportunity to lean into their iconic codes. The fragrance is housed in a bottle carved in the pattern of the brand's distinctive matelassé leather and the pale ochre juice and navy type are reminiscent of the chic shades synonymous with the line. And perhaps the most exciting news? Word has it that Muitine may just be the first taste of Miu Miu Beauty. We look forward to a world of unconventional whimsy!

Beyoncé Hosts A Destiny's Child Reunion At Her Final ‘Cowboy Carter' Show
Beyoncé officially wrapped up her Cowboy Carter tour this weekend. For the occasion, she brought out some old friends to help. During the Las Vegas show on Saturday night, the star surprised the audience by bringing out Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams to join her on stage. To announce the iconic entry, she cheered, 'It's Destiny's Child, bitch!' This marks the first Destiny's Child reunion in seven years, with the last one being in 2018, during Beyoncé's Coachella stage. The three dressed in coordinating sequinned Western outfits and proceeded to sing some of their much-loved hits. They began with 'Lose My Breath' and went on to perform 'Say My Name' and 'Bootylicious' among other tracks. The last track hasn't been performed by the group since 2013. The trio also went on to perform Beyoncé's song 'Energy' together. Founded in 1997, the group disbanded in 2006 to focus on solo careers after achieving great success as an ensemble. Beyoncé's debut solo album was titled Dangerously in Love which was a resounding hit and went on to win five Grammys. Cowboy Carter was her eighth release, which she has been touring since April this year, across America and Europe. Now that this era seems to be drawing to a close, fans are anticipating ACT III of the star's album trilogy in 2026 (the trilogy so far includes Renaissance and Cowboy Carter). However, with the 30-year anniversary of the first Destiny's Child album coming up in 2028, some fans speculate a reunion project may also be on the horizon in a few years. All the nostalgia fuelled 90s-kids out there definitely wouldn't be complaining if this does end up coming to fruition.
