The must-have chunky belts to add to your rotation
Of course, they're still functional; a lovely cinch at the waist never hurts. This season, we're seeing the return of the nostalgic chunky belt, along with the diverse ways this little fashion candy can be styled. Western-style belts, wrap versions, classic leather variations, oversized buckles—these are just a few of the playful possibilities. But the real fun lies in how it's worn.
Also seen on the fall/winter 2025 runways, the huge belts appeared as the perfect layering tool. At Chloé, they were paired with floaty sheer skirts and tops, giving structure to the breezy silhouettes. On the street-style circuit, stars like Blackpink's Jennie and Lindsay Lohan have been spotted embracing the trend as well: Kim opting for a low wide-belt thrown over a pair of shorts during the quartet's world tour stop in London, while Lohan layered her chonky rendition over a leather mini skirt for a more laidback feel. For Chloé's fall/winter 2025 show, one way the chunky belt was worn was over a sheer, flowy black skirt—adding a touch of structure to the breezy ensemble. IMAXtree
The easiest but no less chic approach to style them? A chunky belt thrown over a flowy dress, to give off that girl-next-door-meets-boho vibe that's all the craze lately. For a more casual take, pair the eye-catching silhouette with denim or tailored bermuda shorts. And for the maximalist queen, a studded option makes sure the belt gets all the attention it deserves. These are just a few takes—but there's no wrong way to style it really.

Style News: Louis Vuitton debuts make-up line, new Issey Miyake menswear store, pop-up by Jennie
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Louis Vuitton throws its hat into the luxury beauty ring with a new make-up range, the French fashion house's first since 1854. Louis Vuitton forays into make-up French fashion house Louis Vuitton is launching La Beaute Louis Vuitton, its first make-up range since it was founded in 1854. The collection debuts online on Aug 25 and in stores on Aug 29 with 55 lipsticks, 10 lip balms and eight eyeshadow palettes, all developed by vaunted make-up artist Pat McGrath – the maison's first creative director of cosmetics. Lipsticks are at the heart of the inaugural collection. Three particularly winsome shades are 896 Monogram Rouge in a burnished red, 203 Rose Odyssee in sienna rose and the 854 Rouge Louis in a bold scarlet. All lipsticks are scented with a bespoke blend of mimosa, jasmine and rose, mixed by Louis Vuitton's in-house master perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Famed German furniture designer Konstantin Grcic is the brains behind the line's packaging. A clear window on the tip of a lipstick's shell allows for an easy glimpse of the colour within. A lock ensures that the brand's lipsticks and eyeshadows are the only products that can be kept in the brand's new make-up cases. Companion pieces – what the house calls objects of art – include monogrammed leather pouches and boxes for the luxury cosmetics, harking back to the brand's trunk-making heritage. Capping off the heavyweight team is McGrath who, according to British vogue, worked for four years on product development. The British make-up artist is the backstage architect of many a viral runway look, including the porcelain faces at John Galliano's 2024 Margiela couture show. Still, prices for the new Louis Vuitton line have raised eyebrows. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

The IM Men sub-brand occupies an 883 sq ft extension, added to the Issey Miyake voco Orchard store. Since 2021, IM Men has been known for its functional clothes for men which blend technology, craftsmanship and creativity. It is the spiritual successor to the brand's 'im product' line from the 1970s to 1990s, one rooted in practicality and humour.

The textile used is from a series introduced in the line's first season. New pieces are typically released monthly, mostly in solid colours. August's highlights include the Friction belt ($150), the Hogushi long shirt ($3,045) that is as long as a dress, and the Kasuri button-down shirt printed with striated lines ($825). The store is bright and pleasantly spartan. The clothes hang on thin rails suspended from the ceiling, with enough distance between pieces to let each breathe, adhering to the brand's philosophy of thoughtful design.

The must-have chunky belts to add to your rotation
The true tell of a good accessory probably lies in how much it can transform a simple outfit. And one major mood-setter? Belts. While there always seems to be a new way to wear them each season, with the recent buzz being audacious belt stacking, it's safe to say they've long passed their purely utilitarian agenda. Of course, they're still functional; a lovely cinch at the waist never hurts.

Kevin Costner seeks to dismiss sexual harassment lawsuit brought by stuntwoman
Kevin Costner has sought to have a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by a stuntwoman dismissed. The 70-year-old actor-and-director is being sued by Devyn LaBella, who has claimed she was subjected to a "violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene" without notice on set in May 2023 while filming Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 2, but his legal team have filed new court documents asking for the lawsuit — which accused the Bodyguard star of sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, creation of a hostile work environment, retaliation, and breach of contract — to be thrown out. In paperwork obtained by the Daily Mail, it is claimed Devyn was happy on set and even sent a grateful text to a supervisor after the shoot wrapped, as well as offering Kevin's own version of what happened during the scene in question. According to the actor's declaration, the scene was included in the script and saw Devyn in "full costume" of bike shorts and ankle-length dress lying next to actor Roger Ivens in a covered wagon. He insisted the scene only had Roger lift the hem of Devyn's dress before swinging a leg over her so that he ended up "on all fours over her". The declaration insisted: "There was no nudity, simulated sex, simulated rape, physical contact, fighting, gyrating, or any physicality other than Devyn's outer dress being pushed from her ankles to her knees. "While Devyn's outer dress may have bunched up around her knees (there was a lot of fabric), the dress was still below her waist and the pantaloons and petticoats underneath remained undisturbed." The Yellowstone actor insisted the scene had been blocked ahead of time with the participation of the performer, who "understood what was to happen and consented to help". In the filing, Kevin — who directed, co-wrote, produced and starred in Horizon — included declarations from other members of the cast and crew to support his version of events. And he alleged Devyn had texted a supervisor after filming and said: "Thank you for these wonderful weeks! I so appreciate you! I learned so much and thank you again. I'm really happy it worked out the way it did too. Have a great rest of the shoot and yes talk soon!" The stuntwoman's team first filed the lawsuit against Costner and Horizon producers in May, and weeks later filed an amended complaint including text messages with the movie's intimacy coordinator, and the alleged emotions she felt after the scene. In response, Kevin's lawyer Marty Singer told in a statement: "Ms LaBella was doing a rehearsal on an Insert Shot for a scripted scene. There was no intimacy or anything sexual in the shot. "There was tugging on a dress while she was fully clothed in a dress with long bloomers lying down next to a male actor." The lawyer has also alleged that LaBella — who was a stunt double for series star Ella Hunt — thanked her supervisor for "these wonderful weeks" after finishing work on the Western saga. Singer continued: "Numerous witnesses have contradicted Ms LaBella's meritless claims. "She herself texted her supervisor after she wrapped stating, 'Thank you for these wonderful weeks.' "We look forward to the swift end of this specious lawsuit." Court documents stated Devyn was hired as a stunt double and not informed or consented to the added scene, which she alleges caused "permanent trauma". She also claimed the absence of an intimacy coordinator during filming. Her suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, states the scene was not on the call sheet and Ella herself refused to perform it, allegedly walking off set. She added Kevin directed Roger to perform the assault scene and asked her to stand in without adequate preparation or safeguards. Kevin's attorney Marty Singer denied the allegations, calling her a "serial accuser" and accusing her of "shakedown tactics". He stated: "Kevin always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously." He also said Devyn had approved and rehearsed a prior intimate scene and was "in good spirits" afterwards. [[nid:721354]]
