Gucci celebrating the house's monogram with Emily Ratajkowski: A GG obsession
Framed by the shifting light of a day in Cannes, Gucci introduces the new campaign dedicated to the GG Monogram, capturing Emily Ratajkowski in a series of curated moments, from pauses on city corners to the late-day glow along the promenade. Credits: Gucci
Photographed by Daniel Arnold, the campaign unfolds a balance of presence and ease, movement and stillness. As the protagonists move effortlessly between the city's crowds and the carefree calm of the beach, their journey is threaded by one constant, the GG Monogram. Worn across a spectrum of pieces, from new handbags to archival-inspired travel silhouettes from the Gucci Savoy line tracing back to the House's beginnings in the world of luggage, the motif becomes a discreet companion, a signature presence woven into the everyday.

Central to this narrative is the recently debuted Gucci Giglio handbag. Unveiled during the Cruise 2026 fashion show in Florence, Gucci Giglio pays homage to the House's roots, celebrating the Giglio, the lily emblem synonymous with the city since medieval times. Debuting at the historic Gucci Archive, the piece reflects over a century of artisanal mastery, innovation, and expressive design, drawing on archival codes and heritage techniques while embracing modern craftsmanship.

The campaign also introduces a new chapter of the Ophidia collection. Drawing from handbag and accessory silhouettes of the late 1970s, the new Ophidia pieces feature soft GG Monogram coated canvas, green cotton lining, the Double G emblem in polished light gold metal, and the signature Web stripe that boldly defines each silhouette. A highlight of the campaign is the Mini GG handbag, a new design available for pre-order online and in store, which reimagines the House's signature duffle style in a compact form.
Rooted in the legacy of Guccio Gucci's original valigeria creations, the GG Monogram emerges once again as more than a design, it is a living code. A visual signature that adapts, evolves, and endures across time and collections. More than a campaign, this is a study of identity: a GG obsession.

Kimpton Virgilio, Mexico City hotel review
Location The Kimpton Virgilio is located in the buzzy and bougie Polanco, one of Mexico City 's more upmarket neighbourhoods. In this city, space is at a premium, and the hotel's white building stands atop a slim city block comprising a selection of packed restaurants. It also faces Nobu's impressive façade, and neighbouring streets lined with stores touting Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Foodies flock to Polanco for its restaurant offering – a mix of Michelin fusion food and traditional Mexican classics. Just minutes from the hotel, you'll find the city's best pibil (Yucatec Mayan slow-roasted pork dish) at Turix, served on plastic plates and eaten by hand in the middle of the pavement. Night or day, it's a must. Ideally located for shopping, bars and top-notch places to eat, Polanco is also home to art museums, aquariums and parks that offer great opportunities for people watching. Expect live music, miniature sailboats on the ponds and a lot of dog walkers. The vibe CDMX is a city that fizzes with energy, yet inside the hotel, the atmosphere is peaceful. I've stayed at Kimpton Fitzroy in London and Kimpton Charlotte Square in Edinburgh, and the vibe is much the same – a sanctuary, away from the madness of the outside world. Of course, the decor is decidedly different at the Mexican iteration of this establishment. The building is a 1940s Art Deco-inspired apartment complex, transformed into a chic modern hotel. The original open patio that apartments once looked out onto has become a gorgeous glass-covered atrium serving as the main restaurant, and Mid-Century design details can be seen everywhere. The Kimpton Virgilio is also compact, with 48 rooms and a small rooftop bar complete with a miniature open-air lap pool. Special attention has been paid to the art on the walls, the placement of indoor plants – of which there are many – and furniture made by Mexican artisans. It's an undoubtedly cool place to grab a drink, even if you're not staying the night. If you're not a guest, you can access the roof and use the pool for the day for around £30. For guests, the hotel hosts an evening social hour in the atrium, offering the opportunity to mingle with other guests. Service The service at the Kimpton Virgilio is impeccable, though you might struggle to get a quick answer from the Whatsapp concierge channel – your best bet is speaking directly with any of the friendly, helpful staff. On arrival you'll, you'll find little touches like a handwritten welcome note and a sweet snack. On the rare occasion that it does rain in Mexico City, there'll be someone on hand with an umbrella or waiting to call you a cab. With fewer guests at a boutique-style hotel like this one, you feel taken care of. Bed and bath Expect immaculate rooms with crisp white sheets and mid-century inspired furniture. There are homely touches like coffee table books, magazines in the drawers and an incredibly well-stocked mini bar, but most of the rooms are decked out in simple white and grey, which lends them a minimalist vibe. The bathrooms are large, situated behind sliding doors with tiled walls and double marble sinks. Products are sustainable, and the water pressure is satisfying. A slim balcony provided the opportunity to enjoy a morning coffee while listening to chatter from the street below. Several balconies circle the white curved building, and while they don't offer much of a view as Mexico City is a dense sprawl of trees, buildings and billboards, soaking up the sunshine there is a lovely way to start the day, especially with the sound of live music drifting upwards. Food and drink Pepe Mesa Español, the hotel's first-floor restaurant, offers considered Mexican-Spanish fusion dishes such as tapas, calamari, succulent fish mains and stewed pork with rice that are impeccably presented. A well-stocked bar separates a cosy collection of tables from the atrium, where guests can enjoy dinner and cocktails surrounded by greenery. Breakfast is served in the lush atrium with acai and yoghurt bowls alongside eggs, pastries, smoothies and coffee on the à la carte menu. La Caña, the hotel's rooftop bar is where the real action happens. Up here, you'll find a large cocktail list and a Mexican/Peruvian menu of small plates, soundtracked by a live DJ. Facilities A boutique hotel with fewer than 100 rooms, the Kimpton Virgilio offers miniature versions of classic hotel amenities. There's a small gym and a mini rooftop pool surrounded by a cute rooftop. There are a few free morning yoga classes on offer for guests during the week too – just take the yoga mat from your room up to the roof. For those who simply want to relax, there's a morning coffee and tea service and an afternoon social hour in the atrium. And for those who want to get out and see the sights, there are bikes available to loan and umbrellas for days when rain looks likely. There's also free wifi throughout the hotel. Disability access With lifts from the ground floor up to the roof, there's access to every floor of the hotel for wheelchair users. However, the corridors are slim so bear this in mind when booking. Pet Policy Pets are more than welcome at this hotel, and Mexico City in general is a very dog-friendly city. I checked in to find a dog bed, a doggy dinner, hotel-branded accessories and a personally addressed welcome note for my pup. Every time you stay at a Kimpton hotel, you get access to a free month of Wag! Premium for dog sitting, activities and veterinary care too. Check in/check out Check in 4pm, check out 12 noon. Family friendly? All Kimpton hotels offer a 'kids' program'. This branch seemed mainly catered to adults and business travellers, but there's no reason you couldn't stay with your family. The room I stayed in offered two double beds and plenty of room for a cot, too. At a glance Best thing: The area offers brilliant food and drink options on your doorstep. Worst thing: The rooftop yoga was quite popular and felt a little chaotic. Right for: City slickers looking for a home from home. Not right for: Large groups.

Jennifer Lopez leaves little to the imagination in pink bodysuit after ex Ben Affleck takes steps to cut ties
Jennifer Lopez was looking as fit as ever when she arrived at a studio in Los Angeles on Thursday. The 55-year-old beauty flaunted her sculpted figure under a hot pink bodysuit that left little to the imagination. She was getting back to business in the wake of exclusive report on the humiliating steps her ex-husband Ben Affleck, 52, is willing to go to in order to sever their remaining ties. Jennifer flashed the outline of her pert derriere and toned legs in her pink suit, which she covered up on top with a cut-off pink, yellow and white Gucci sweatshirt decorated with the fashion house's name and a red palm tree over her chest. After the normally impeccable actress and singer was spotted earlier this week on a rare bad-hair day, she came back strong by wearing her long caramel-colored locks styled pin straight. She contrasted her pants with tall Alo socks and chunky white trainers, and she blocked out the sun with lavender-tinted aviator sunglasses. Jennifer accessorized with a large black leather handbag that contrasted with her summer workout look, and she brought along her laptop to take care of work in the studio. The beaming Hustlers star looked far more relaxed heading into the building than her ex Ben did the day before. He was pictured looking tense as he puffed on a cigarette while driving home from his office in Los Angeles. Despite divorcing, the exes are still connected through ownership of the Beverly Hills mega mansion that they bought in May 2023 for an eye-popping $60.8 million in cash. Since going public with their separation, the two put the 38,000 square-foot home on the market for an even pricier $68 million. Last month, it was reported that Ben and Jennifer had slashed the asking price by more than $8 million to $59.95 million, almost $1 million less than what they initially paid. An insider exclusively revealed to the extent that Ben is willing to go to push along a sale so that he can put his disastrous and short-lived marriage to the actress and singer out of mind. Lopez and Affleck tied the knot in July 2022, nearly two decades after their first relationship and engagement. But their puppy love soon soured, and filed for divorced just two years later. She cited irreconcilable differences as the cause for their split, which she dated to April 26, 2024. The two finalized their divorce in January of this year. Although Jennifer's latest outing featured a revealing bodysuit, it was nothing compared to the outfit she unveiled when she hit the stage for WorldPride in Washington, DC, over the weekend. One ensemble in particular — which was created by the New York–based brand The Blonds — featured a silver corset-like top that was so high-cut that it exposed much of her pubic area. The outfit also featured a deep plunging neckline in front that put her cleavage on full display. The shockingly steamy display was the latest attempt by to be risqué following her lesbian kiss at the American Music Awards last month. The hitmaker — who hosted the show and shared kisses with both male and female dancers during an opening medley of her songs and the evening's nominated tunes — was branded 'desperate' by fans due to the bizarre kiss. But an inside source exclusively told that the kiss was all part of a coordinated strategy for Lopez. ' followed the direction of her PR and she did exactly what she was told to do for her post-Ben [Affleck] comeback,' the source said. 'She is living her best life and has zero f***s to give right now,' they continued. 'She dealt with so much uncertainty, but she was brave. She did not allow the negative commentary to bring her down. Instead, she kept going and living her life.' Despite Jennifer's best attempts to put on a good show and also spice up the AMAs, viewers were largely disappointed in the ceremony, which had a dearth of major stars in attendance and was criticized for airing few categories live, which may have been due to many of the nominees and winners not bothering to show up to the show, which was held in Las Vegas. The event was savaged on social media, with several viewers branding it the 'worst show ever.'
