Plan C Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Carolina Castiglioni reached back to childhood memories of villeggiatura at Forte dei Marmi—the manicured Tuscan beach haven she's frequented since cradle days—to give Plan C's new collection a breeze of laid-back nostalgia. But don't expect misty-eyed romanticism; her style skews boyish over frilly, grounded in functionality and sharpened with an artsy, utilitarian edge. 'I wanted to go easy and pop,' she said.
Slouchy unisex pajama sets with contrast piping hinted at the de facto summer uniform of the Castiglionis. Whimsy tempered the practical: a crisp white poplin dress came low-waisted and puffed at the sleeves with a wink to rugby; a crinkled nylon anorak was elongated into a dress, and tossed over a lace-trimmed slip. A leather bomber leaned romantic, revealing a flower intarsia blooming at the back; a silky skirt suit was subtly padded to preserve its paper-doll silhouette, while tiny floral crowns danced across a billowing, transparent garden dress.
In a sweet nod to the raffia totes her grandmother once lugged to the beach, Castiglioni crafted petite crocheted pouches and baskets, while necklace pendants took the shape of toy sailboats and paddle boats—nautical memorabilia à la Plan C. On the same playful wavelength, T-shirts bore a painting of a flower vase she made, a teaser for an upcoming homeware collaboration with Belgian design label Serax. And there's more on the horizon: with Plan C leveling up, the brand is setting down roots; its first Milan store is set to open soon.

Katy Perry won't join Orlando Bloom at Bezos wedding amid rumored breakup
Pop star Katy Perry is reportedly not expected to join Orlando Bloom at Jeff Bezos' lavish Italian wedding next week amid rumors the couple's relationship is on the rocks. Us Weekly recently reported the pair has been spending time apart and their friends don't know what to make of the situation. Sources said even their inner circle isn't sure if they've 'permanently split.' But according to TMZ, Perry's absence from the A-list nuptials is more logistical than anything else. Perry is currently on tour in Australia, where some of her concert dates would interfere with wedding festivities taking place more than 8,000 miles away. She's scheduled to perform in Perth on Monday — one day before the three-day wedding event begins in Venice — followed by shows in Adelaide on June 26 and 27. Bloom, who's been linked to Perry on and off since 2016 and shares a daughter with her, is expected to attend the Bezos bash solo. He's among a high-profile guest list that's said to include Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria and Ivanka Trump. Perry last partied with Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, after she was launched into space on his Blue Orbit rocket. Perry and Sanchez were joined on that flight by journalist Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, activist Amanda Nguyen and aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe.
