Bad Bunny Assumes First Position in Ballet Flats
Bad Bunny may be hitting the links in Happy Gilmore 2, but his premiere look seemed just as well-suited for ballet class. Amidst his ongoing residency in Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny jetted back to New York for the premiere of the Adam Sandler film. (Just in case you didn't know, he wore a tan baseball cap emblazoned with the declaration: 'I was onstage last night.') While Sandler opted for his uniform of a Hawaiian shirt and oversized basketball shorts, Benito flexed some power clashing in a plaid double-breasted blazer from Valentino's pre-fall 2025 collection, along with a pair of cotton Bermuda shorts with the label's for his footwear, though, Benito channelled his inner ballerino. Standing in a first position, he donned a pair of white calf-high socks and black Dries Van Noten ballet flats with criss-crossing elastic straps. On the grass-green carpet, Bad Bunny shyly rocked back and forth on his heels, like a tot at baby's first ballet class.

Italy moves to safeguard fashion sector reputation following labour scandals
A few unlawful businesses in the fashion supply chain have tainted the image of ' Made in Italy ', Italy's industry minister said on Tuesday, adding that he is working on a certification scheme to remedy this after the latest high profile case. Cashmere company Loro Piana, controlled by French luxury group LVMH, was put under judicial administration last week after prosecutors uncovered evidence of worker abuses in its supply chain. The label was the fifth high-end brand to undergo such court monitoring in Italy since early 2024. "We cannot allow the illicit behaviour of a few to compromise the reputation of the entire sector, penalising many virtuous companies and, consequently, our Made in Italy brand, which is a symbol of excellence and quality," minister Adolfo Urso told fashion trade bodies during a meeting, according to a source. The ministry is working on a measure to certify the sustainability and legality of companies in the supply chain in advance, he added, so that brands do not have to answer for the conduct of their suppliers or subcontractors. Units of fashion brands Valentino, Dior, Armani and Italian handbag company Alviero Martini were previously placed under administration in Italy for similar alleged worker exploitation. In the case of Loro Piana, the Court of Milan found it "culpably failed" to adequately oversee its suppliers in order to pursue higher profits, according to the ruling. Prosecutors in that case said the violation of rules among fashion companies in Italy was "a generalised and consolidated manufacturing method". Italy is home to thousands of small manufacturers that make up 50%-55% of global luxury goods production, consultancy Bain has calculated. Italian legal and political authorities, fashion industry bodies and trade unions signed an action plan in May to fight worker exploitation in the apparel and accessories supply chain, after prosecutors uncovered widespread abuse.

Meet Snejyo, the Insta-famous sisters bringing back maximalism: Hermès and Chanel obsessed Indian siblings Snehal and Jyoti Babani first went viral last year for their OTT matching looks
Until recently, the consensus around fashion on social media seemed to be that less is more. Understated elegance at a hefty price tag has been the ethos of quiet luxury – a trend that gained traction in 2023 and was embraced by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and perfected by brands like The Row. But now it's 2025, and the reliably cyclical nature of fashion means that maximalism is once again on the rise – layering and loud patterns are back in style. On the runway, creative directors Alessandro Michele and Glenn Martens' much-anticipated debut haute couture collections for Valentino and Maison Margiela featured voluminous silhouettes and playful textures; and for the perennially online community, no one embodies this new trend like the Instagram- and TikTok-famous Babani sisters. Advertisement For a while, Snehal and Jyoti Babani managed to avoid mainstream media attention, despite being regular fixtures at the major runway shows. That was until the pair – collectively known as Snejyo – went viral for wearing head-to-toe Hermès in 2024. Despite their love of logomaxing (at the Hermès spring/summer 2025 show last September they literally accessorised their main Hermès Kelly bags with mini and micro Kellys), the sisters have kept a low profile. Even their shared Instagram account, which boasts over 61 thousand followers, is private. Snejyo holding Hermès Kelly bags that are in turn accessorised with mini and micro Kelly bags.

In June, the sisters finally shared several photos of themselves dressed to the nines in coordinating Chanel outfits for the haute couture spring/summer show in Paris that took place back in January.

With the rise of maximalism and fashion bringing fun back, who better to look to for fashion inspo than the best in the game? Here's everything you need to know about Snehal and Jyoti Babani.

There's A Summer Skirt For Everyone – Here Are 7 Of The Best Styles To Shop Now
Never underestimate the power of a great summer skirt. Choose well and it will serve you well from now through the colder months, equipping you for daily errands, beach days, nights out, and everything in between. An Eighties revival manifested in the form of bubble-hem and ruffled, tiered skirts in Alaïa and Valentino's SS25 collections (and many more besides). Fear not; there is not a crimped hairdo in sight, rather modern versions of these vintage relics that feel fresh when styled with a simple baby tee and ballet flats. For something simpler, consider a crisp white cotton skirt, as seen on the runway (at Miu Miu and Ralph Lauren) and in real life, as worn by the likes of Daisy Edgar Jones and Sienna Miller at Wimbledon. Or one with polka dots, as at Acne Studios and Carolina Herrera, which lends itself equally well to monochrome styling. There are sheer and skin-baring styles, too, for which you may want to invest in a good pair of big knickers. At Gabriela Hearst and Ulla Johnson, there were crocheted maxi skirts that would look just as chic thrown over swimwear as they did with the coordinating tops with which they were styled on the catwalk. See also 1990s organza column skirts and wafty chiffon maxis (at Rokh and S.S. Daley, respectively), which also look excellent atop slips, if you do not dare to bare. Speaking of slips, we are stocking up on lace-trimmed satin versions to wear with tanks and flip flops for the remainder of summer (and with boots and knits when autumn hits). Blame The Row. Below, we've rounded up the seven best summer skirt styles, from puffball minis and modern ra-ras to lace-trimmed satin slips and crochet maxis. You may already have a bubble-hem skirt in your wardrobe from last summer, when Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber were both spotted wearing the Y2K-does-1980s style. Good news – the trend is still going strong, with puffball silhouettes popping up at Alaïa, Patou and Chloé's SS25 shows, in midi, mini and micro-mini forms. Balance the frou-frou shape with ballet flats and a form-fitting tank or tee. A cotton-poplin skirt in wear-with-everything white will serve you well for many years to come and for all manner of events. Choose romantic pleats (as at Ralph Lauren's SS25 show, and on Sienna Miller at Wimbledon), or indeed, something a bit more pencil-like, like Daisy Edgar Jones' crisp Gucci co-ord. Or strike the balance with Miu Miu's sweet, A-line styles. Maximalists, rejoice. Ruffles are back and we don't mean a demure frilled trim here and there. Tiered ra-ra skirts shimmied down the SS25 catwalks, from Akris' frothy tulle maxi (styled with slick brogues) to Valentino's more faithfully Eighties-inspired iteration. We enjoy the unexpected touch of a ruffled skirt over trousers, as seen at Rokh. We've extolled the virtues of the polka-dot dress; now let us meditate on the sheer versatility of the spotted skirt. In a puffball shape with a peep-toe or stiletto heel (see Valentino and Carolina Herrera), it reads 1980s, while a semi-sheer chiffon pencil skirt (we're looking at you, Susa Musa) nods to 1990s Prada in the best way. Clash or match your dots, or opt for simple monochrome styling. The Row started a slip-skirt revolution when they incorporated two (well three, if you count the dress styled as a skirt over trousers) in their Spring/Summer '25 collection. The beauty of the lace-trimmed satin skirt is that it can be worn with a tank and flip flops now, and with a slouchy cashmere knit and knee-high boots when the weather cools. We also love a mini-length version peeking out from beneath an oversized tee or shirt. Don't board your next flight without including at least one crochet skirt in your checked luggage – it's a holiday essential. As Gabriela Hearst and Ulla Johnson both proved at their SS25 shows, one in white or cream is exceedingly versatile, whether thrown over a bikini in the daytime or worn with a matching top for dinner. Miuccia Prada has an enduring partiality for crocheted skirts, so we suggest checking Vestiaire Collective for pre-loved styles. If you want to dip your toe into naked dressing, may we present: the sheer skirt. It wafted onto the SS25 runways in diaphanous tartan chiffon ( see-through lace (Michael Kors), and Nineties-esque organza (The Attico, Hermès), sometimes underlaid by opaque mini skirts, other times revealing granny pants or skimpy knickers. You can do either, of course; alternatively, ease in by layering one atop jeans or trousers. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
