Connects you with your favourite muse
Tonight, the 82nd annual Golden Globes kicked off awards season in serious style, setting the tone for a glamorous few months ahead with the Critics Choice Awards, Grammys, and Oscars still to come. The stars came ready to slay, and the fashion vibes were nothing short of iconic. Nominees like Nicole Kidman, Selena Gomez, Timothée Chalamet, and Mikey Madison hit the red carpet serving modern Hollywood glam—with a fresh twist.
The night wasn’t just about winning trophies—it was about making statements. Cate Blanchett turned heads by rewearing her stunning gold Louis Vuitton gown from Cannes last year. (Sustainable fashion queen? We think yes. ) Meanwhile, Ariana Grande gave us all the feels with a buttery yellow vintage Givenchy couture gown from 1966. Talk about timeless elegance.
Then there was Zendaya, who shut down the carpet in custom Louis Vuitton. The look—styled by the legendary Law Roach—was a tribute to Joyce Bryant, the trailblazing Black singer and fashion icon of the 1940s. When your outfit has a message and looks this good? Total win.
Let’s talk about the guys, because they were not playing. Colman Domingo wowed in a sleek Valentino tux with a bow-wrapped necktie that oozed sophistication. Timothée Chalamet? Classic skinny tie vibes in an ultra-slim Tom Ford suit, channeling his Bob Dylan role in A Complete Unknown.
But Jeremy Strong? He had so much fun with style and rocked a minty green suit and a matching bucket hat. Yes, a bucket hat. Love it or hate it, you know you’re talking about it.
We’ve rounded up the best looks from the 2025 Golden Globes below. Who nailed it? Who stole the show? Cast your vote and let us know who you think deserves the ultimate best-dressed title this year.
Stay tuned, because the season is just getting started
Clad in a princely ensemble custom-made by Burberry, the Thai star made his debut on the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art today
Bright Vachirawit has just made his starry debut on the Met Gala 2024 red carpet. With his appearance, the Thai heartthrob—best known for his leading roles in F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers, 2Gether: The Series, and romcom flick Forget My Ex!—is notably the first-ever Thai artist to make his appearance at the annual fundraiser event. Understandably, the landmark event is a formidable milestone for the actor, but for those well-acquainted with his global stardom in recent years, the Met can be said to have been par for the course for the rising fashion name.
After all, the Thai actor’s initial inklings with the industry can be traced back to the summer of 2022—when Burberry first announced Vachirawit as its global ambassador. In continuing his relationship with the British fashion house, he has become a familiar face in front row at the maison’s seasonal fashion shows and is a common attendee at regional brand events, one that is no doubt attributed to his influence worldwide.
Naturally, he made his Met Gala debut fully clad in Burberry—custom-designed by Daniel Lee, certifying his station as a treasured friend of the house. For fashion’s big night, Lee outfitted him in a sharp, princely ensemble: a pleated georgette jacket embroidered with tonal bullion, contrasted against a netted, gold inner. A sleek spot of tailoring comes through his silk trousers, and the whole look is completed by a structural pair of square-toed loafers for good measure.
Delivering a look that merged contemporary polish with the British codes of the storied house, there’s no doubt that Vachirawit’s appearance on the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art was one that felt utterly cosmic. Given his undeniable status as the first Thai celebrity to grace the event, we can hold hope that more Asian faces will be welcomed to the Met crowd in time to come. This decisive match-up stands as a beacon of progress.

Every year, the Met Gala red carpet produces some of the most memorable celebrity fashion moments of all time. Tonight’s affair in New York City—themed “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”—was certainly no different, with a bevy of A-listers hitting the red carpet in custom creations. The night’s very best dressed attendees were those who paid homage to this year’s theme (and “the garden of time” dress code)—doing so in both thoughtful and unexpected ways.
Of course, all of the official 2024 Met Gala co-hosts made the best dressed list. Zendaya turned heads in not one but two striking looks—including her custom Margiela look, and a vintage Givenchy dress from the house’s spring 1996 collection. Jennifer Lopez opted for a sparkling Schiaparelli number; while and Chris Hemsworth a sleek Tom Ford one.
lorals, unsurprisingly, proved to be the breakout look of the night. Celebrities transformed into high-fashion bouquets in a variety of ways. There was Nicki Minaj in a Marni dress covered in hand-painted metal flowers, and Gigi Hadid in a Thom Browne three-dimensional floral ballgown. Adwoah Aboah, meanwhile, had the night’s best maternity moment—in a red floral H&M look that included a crop top and full skirt.
Some of the night’s more unexpected—and way more avant-garde—moments shined, too, proving that the best dressed celebrities of the nights didn’t have to be in florals. Lana Del Rey, for one, brought forward the drama in a veiled Alexander McQueen look with an antlered headpiece; it was a thoughtful homage to the late designer’s iconic fall 2006 collection. Tyla also transformed herself into a sand sculpture—via an extremely-fitted Balmain gown that was like a second skin.
Well, here us the list of best dressed stars from The Met Gala 2024 based on our opinion. Which one is your favourite?

During the early-mid 2000s, there was a time when New York seemed to be at the epicenter of the fashion world. The internet broke down the barriers of the industry, making once exclusive runways accessible to a wider audience. While fashion centers in Europe resisted this democratization, New York embraced it wholeheartedly. It was a glamorous and star-studded affair, with celebrities in the front row, reality shows, designer collaborations for the mass market, bloggers (to some extent), and the iconic fashion tents. However, this era had its limitations and became somewhat one-dimensional.
Over the years, New York Fashion Week has experienced fragmentation and struggles as it tries to redefine itself. As the European luxury market expands and becomes more expensive, commerciality has become a dominant force. In contrast, in New York, it feels like the opposite effect is taking place.
For emerging and independent labels, building a successful business and turning a profit is an incredibly challenging task, mainly because the industry’s traditional infrastructure doesn’t provide much support for emerging talent. This season, both established and emerging labels exude a gritty determination. It’s a quality that is unique to New York City, born from the city’s demanding and relentless hustle.
The timing is ideal for brands to focus on their own identities. According to McKinsey’s “The State of Fashion 2024” report, brands will need to move away from performance marketing and instead concentrate on nurturing personal and emotional connections with customers.
Willy Chavarria and Hillary Taymour of Collina Strada are two designers who have carved their own paths while also understanding how to expand their reach. Chavarria, in particular, has revolutionized American Ivy prep by making it accessible to those who have traditionally been excluded. He has become a beloved figure in the city, offering a fresh perspective. Chavarria’s skillful tailoring, exemplified by his baggy, flowing wool houndstooth trousers or double-breasted jacket with pronounced shoulders, opens up a world of possibilities for individuals who have felt marginalized in the predominantly white world of Americana fashion. In Willy Chavarria’s United States, clothing reflects reality but is filtered through a lens of fantasy, resulting in a unique blend of the provocative and the practical.
On the contrary, Taymour always approaches things with a sense of humor. In her latest collection, she played with the concept of feminine strength by incorporating mini dresses with padded biceps and shoulders. One model even sported psychedelic print shorts while carrying dumbbells made from kombucha squash instead of traditional weights. As always, Taymour’s casting included a diverse mix of her friends and chosen family, with one woman holding a baby and another visibly pregnant. Taymour has consistently stayed true to her vision and commitment to sustainability. She remains unwavering in her principles and has yet to seek external investment for her brand, which can be found at various retailers ranging from Nordstrom to SSENSE.

New York, typically known for its grey concrete and towering skyscrapers, has undergone a remarkable transformation. As we dive headfirst into the fall/winter 2024 calendar of New York Fashion Week, fashion-forward individuals have been flocking to the streets outside the shows like moths drawn to a flame. Helmut Lang set the tone, while Peter Do presented his second collection for the brand. Do drew inspiration from the iconic designer’s archives, incorporating playful ‘Chinatown bag’ prints, vibrant orange knits, and even the famous bubble wrap jacket, which Do reimagined in luxurious silk.
At Eckhaus Latta, a movement toward minimalism was evident, delivered with an undeniable sensuality. The collection featured knits that accentuated the body, acid wash garments, and strategically placed slashes that revealed just the right amount of skin. For those seeking the irresistible taste of New York cool, Tommy Hilfiger’s show on the first evening of NYFW was the place to be. The runway showcased the brand’s signature pieces such as crewnecks, varsity jackets, and polo shirts, updated with a preppy and essential twist that perfectly aligned with the chic and modern ambiance of its star-studded front row. Rumor has it that Lily van der Woodsen was spotted among the attendees.
On the streets, fashion enthusiasts embraced the sun’s appearance, bidding farewell to heavy coats and furs and opting for lightweight trenches and tailored blazers instead. Playful layering techniques incorporated various textures and vibrant pops of color. Classic patterns like pinstripes and plaids, along with occasional bows, continued to captivate the fashion crowd.
Explore the most fabulous moments of street style from the fall/winter 2024 cycle of New York Fashion Week below, as captured by Phil Oh, capturing the electrifying buzz surrounding it all.

The fashion industry is known for its constant surprises and exciting developments. From changes in leadership to collaborations and celebrity endorsements, there’s always something new to discuss. Recently, we’ve seen the debut of Daniel Lee at Burberry and Pharrell Williams as the latest creative director for Louis Vuitton menswear.
In addition to these high-level changes, there are also exciting collaborations that capture the attention of fashion enthusiasts. This year alone, we’ve witnessed Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with Yayoi Kusama, the Mugler x H&M collection, and Nike’s highly anticipated Kwondo 1 ‘Panda’ with Peaceminusone, G-dragon’s fashion label.
If you’ve missed out on any recent fashion news, don’t worry. Vogue Singapore has you covered with their roundup. This week, there have been announcements of celebrity ambassadors, including Tang Wei for Burberry and Nicole Kidman for Balenciaga. There have also been executive changes, such as Matthew M. Williams bidding farewell to Givenchy after three years as creative director. In the realm of technology and fashion, Samsung has partnered with Maison Margiela to create the sleek Galaxy Z Flip5, and Balenciaga Music has collaborated with Archive to bring NFC-accessed music to the forefront.
Stay up to date with all the latest fashion news below.
A new phase of Balenciaga Music is here. Together with English music collective Archive, an 8.5-minute exclusive track titled ‘Patterns’ alongside a seven-hour playlist has been dreamed up for the house. But the trick of the trade here? It’s only accessible through a NFC (Near Field Communication) limited-edition chip that has been embedded in tags that are sewn into Balenciaga Music | Archive merchandise. Launched on 20 November, this is meant to offer an innovative 360° experience, on which Demna has commented: “Balenciaga Music was created to share my favourite musical artists and their personal tastes and influences. We have now expanded this project to give a more personal and complete music experience with exclusive content and interactive technology.”
Uncovering the new face of a luxury house is always a fascinating experience. In the past week, Burberry has contributed to this excitement, with its announcement of Tang Wei as its latest global ambassador. The Chinese actor, best known for her roles in Late Autumn and Cannes-favoured Decision to Leave, joins the house with anticipation for what’s to come. “Having known Burberry for many years, it feels as though we’ve become old friends, with its influence woven deeply into my life. I’m truly grateful for this enduring companionship. I adore Burberry’s distinct mastery of colour and lines, which exudes a sense of both familiarity and novelty. It’s a British charm that I’ve come to know and love, coupled with a timeless yet rebellious modern spirit. Fate brought us together. This friendship is like a rose, and I would love to see it blossom,” she offers in a press statement.
Matthew M. Williams officially makes his exit from Givenchy after three years at its helm—where he has inspired a big part of the brand’s creative renewal, from modernising the house’s design identity to spearheading a number of notable collaborations during his tenure there. With the change set to take effect from 1 January 2024 onwards, Williams expresses: “Leading the creative direction of Givenchy was, as I said upon my arrival in 2020, the dream of a lifetime. Over these three years, I have strived to perpetuate Mr. Hubert de Givenchy’s legacy while bringing my own creative vision and I would like to sincerely thank the studio, Renaud de Lesquen, and LMVH for this incredible opportunity.”
A long-awaited return, Dior is making its way back to Hong Kong, with plans to stage its men’s pre-fall 2024 show in the cosmopolitan city. It’s the first time the brand is choosing to unveil its latest collection in the metropolis since eight years ago. Whilst the date and location remains to be determined, it’s clear that Hong Kong has established itself as a rising fashion destination, considering Louis Vuitton’s first-ever men’s pre-fall 2024 show was also recently presented there.
The next fashion phone? A special edition of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip5, done in collaboration with Maison Margiela. This furthers the innovative identity of both brands, as they work together to deliver a high-tech device that incorporates the aesthetic influences of the house’s design codes. Where a semi-transparent effect comes through in a rear glass that shows the inner workings of a Maison Margiela jacket enhanced by a prism of silver and metal. It also comes with a Flap Leather Case and Flipsuit Case that captures the artistry of the atelier’s craftsmanship with its handwoven stitching and distinctive numbering design.
Forget the chocolate factory, Timothée Chalamet is in the running to open a shoe factory. As part of the Wonka press promotions, Willy Wonka himself has joined up with Nike to create a delectable pair of the sports house’s famous Dunks—so limited, there are only five pairs available. In terms of visual design, the new kicks convey the same kaleidoscopic vibrancy as Wonka’s candy-coloured world, and most especially the character’s signature velvet plum jacket. The usual Nike tag has also been replaced by a cool ‘W’ that stands for Wonka instead. For exactly how one can get their hands on a pair? Fans can try to win a pair via a giveaway from the Pure Imagination Contest, organised by Warner Bros. themselves.
Balenciaga is adding to their ever-growing strength of house ambassadors. This time around, award-winning actor Nicole Kidman, joins the likes of Michelle Yeoh, Isabelle Huppert and PP Krit Amnuaydechkorn. As the latest face of the maison, Kidman also made her appearance at the brand’s recent pre-fall 2024 showing in Los Angeles, wearing a strong-shouldered, sculptural number. On her appointment, Kidman expresses her anticipation for the beginning of their official working relationship: “Balenciaga has been with me through some of the most memorable events in my life, from my wedding to the Oscars red carpet. I’m excited to work with Balenciaga as an ambassador and look forward to creating more memories together.”
