Adam Lippes Resort 2026 Collection
Adam Lippes took a trip to Japan last December, visiting Tokyo and Kyoto, and staying at a ryokan in Shuzenji. He came back raving, as so many do, about 'a culture continually in search of a higher form of perfection.' Travel has been informing his recent collections; a trip through Sicily was the starting point for his pre-fall outing, for resort it's naturally Japan.
Pointing to the geometric mosaic print of a shirtdress in shades of navy, chocolate brown, gold, plum, and persimmon, Lippes namechecked Robert Motherwell's Lyric Suite, a series of 600 ink paintings. Motherwell used rick paper, rather than traditional canvas, which gave the paintings their 'delicate, translucent quality.' Japan's influence on this collection was indeed subtle. The references were present if you looked for them, in the relaxed shape of balloon pants, say, which are a nod to construction workers' uniforms, or the loose sleeves of wrap shirts, which are cut along the lines of a summery yukata. There was also a floral print inspired by a Meiji period lacquer box.
But you don't have to be a Japanophile to take pleasure in these clothes, whether it's the shine of a lacquered wool trench in a deep shade of burgundy or the brushed mohair of a boxy jacket. One wear of his 'sweatsuits' in luxurious double-face merino knit and you're never going back to standard issue cotton again. 'It's really sporty. Less dressy,' he said, riffling through the racks at a photoshoot. 'We're moving out of a sort of dress phase into separates—it feels right. A sheath dress is the easy thing to design and make, but she's wanting more interesting shapes.'
That goes for evening, as much as day. The quilted silk and lurex of a bandeau top and slim line skirt felt nearly weightless, and a simple yet striking v-neck gown that glides over the body was cut with a single seam using a Japanese pattern-making technique. He pulled out a tank dress in a crinkly fabric made from silk and metal. 'It's a little bit pushed for me, not to be pressed,' he laughed, his own search for a higher form of perfection yielding an unexpected, captivating result.

When in London, Miley Cyrus Wears the Capital's Favorite Freakiest Shoe
Miley Cyrus spent the week taking Paris by storm, the streets her runway: She played a secret show for fans in Moulin Rouge-esque, vintage and crystal-encrusted Mugler corsets, and took to the streets in full Valentino, a sheer gown with a feather bra, and a very special Eiffel Tower-embellished archival mini-dress. Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Alongside her very different takes on French girl chic, Cyrus also joined Beyoncé on her mammoth Cowboy Carter tour to become her very first guest performer. The duo performed 'II Most Wanted' from 2024's Cowboy Carter, which won them the Grammy for best country duo or group performance. The crowd, of course, went wild. For the moment, they both opted for gilded, golden looks: Cyrus in custom Alexander McQueen, and Bey in custom Rabanne. So stepping off the Eurostar at London St. Pancras International station yesterday (June 20), Cyrus exhibited a style more in step with the London fashion set aesthetic, as she arrived to keep promoting her latest album Something Beautiful. She wore a blue-gray trench coat with light blue wash straight leg jeans rolled up at the ankles, and a black tank layered with gold necklaces. She brushed back her usual '80s blow-out into a slick back ponytail, with huge aviator sunglasses and a Maison Margiela 5AC black handbag. On her feet, every east London girl's favorite choice for freaky footwear: the Margiela tabi ballerina flat.

Who Is Andreina Santos? Meet the Bombshell Turning Heads on Love Island USA Season 7
The villa just got hotter and a little tenser. Enter Andreina Santos, the radiant, runway-ready bombshell who just strutted into Love Island USA season 7 like she owns the place. And quite frankly? She might. The 24-year-old model is the latest curveball thrown into the villa following a mess of emotional recouplings, romantic casualties, and enough sideways glances to fill an entire season of The Real Housewives. But unlike some of the filler contestants we've seen crumble under villa pressure, Andreina came armed: with beauty, brains, and the calm confidence of someone who already knows she's the main character, even if she entered late. Andreina isn't just 'the new girl.' She's a global model with a career that has seen her zig-zag across continents, working with brands, killing runways, and building a polished, highly curated social media presence that screams expensive. With shoots that drip in style and finesse, and a face that looks genetically engineered for high fashion, Andreina has been building her brand long before she stepped foot into the Love Island villa. While the other islanders were arguing over who kissed who under what blanket, Andreina was balancing school and snapping professional-grade photos for her modeling portfolio. She's not just some pretty girl looking for airtime, she's been putting in the work. And the villa? It's just another campaign. Her Instagram serves body goals: carefully lit shots, editorial poses, styled shoots, and a vibe that falls somewhere between Vogue runway princess and effortlessly luxe It Girl. She knows her angles, her light, her audience. The girl is giving content and you will deal. Unfortunately for Andreina, she didn't walk into paradise, she walked into hell week. The villa has just been shaken by the breakup of Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown, a relationship that had been teetering on emotional fumes. Now, Huda's single, steaming, and dangerously competitive. And with fellow bombshell TJ Palma arriving alongside Andreina, the island just became a battlefield. It's giving smize and sabotage, and honestly? We're here for it. Both Andreina and Huda have their eyes on TJ, and while Huda may have tenure, Andreina is the shiny new toy. What she lacks in pre-established alliances, she makes up for in mystique. The guys may say they're satisfied in their matches, but we've seen what happens when a bombshell walks in. All that loyalty talk flies out faster than a recoupling text. Coming in right after the season's most emotionally intense recoupling was a bold move and maybe a little sadistic on the producers' part, but Andreina doesn't seem fazed. She's got that 'I just flew in from Milan and I'm not here to beg' energy. Whether she's walking into a conversation or a confrontation, she carries herself with a poised aloofness that makes it clear she's not here to compete, she's the prize. And yes, she's young. But this woman knows who she is. At 24, she's already got a portfolio, a brand, and now, national exposure. What do most of the other islanders have? A couple of matching swimsuits and a ring light. Love Island is a launchpad, and Andreina is strapped in, locked on, and ready for liftoff. Even if she doesn't find her soul-swapping twin flame in the villa, Andreina is about to get the ultimate career boost. Her Instagram already reads like a portfolio. After this show? She'll be fielding partnerships with the same brands these girls are begging to tag for free bikinis. She fits in perfectly with the model-influencer hybrid ecosystem that Love Island USA has cultivated, but make no mistake, she's poised to rise above it. She doesn't need the villa to be famous. She just needed a camera crew to catch up. The post Who Is Andreina Santos? Meet the Bombshell Turning Heads on Love Island USA Season 7 appeared first on Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews & More.
