Max Mara's resort 2026 collection is an ode to womanhood and Italian heritage Vogue Singapore
Under the vaulted grandeur of La Reggia di Caserta, Max Mara set the stage for a visual feast celebrating women through the cinematic lens of Italian culture: ornate, historic, and deeply Italian. The mood? Cascading marble staircases and gilded ceilings—the perfect backdrop for the its resort 2026 collection—a considered tribute to Naples and to the evolving codes of womanhood the brand has dressed since its founding. And to add to the shimmer of the evening, a lineup of stars showed up, including the likes of Alexa Chung and South Korean actress Lee Sung Kyung. Lee Sung Kyung at the Max Mara resort 2026 show.

German Larkin Griffith's vision encapsulated elements of the brand's past, seen especially through archival references trickled throughout the collection. Starting with a collaboration that reaches into the heart of Neapolitan craft—in partnership with tie maker E. Marinella, Max Mara reinterprets vintage cravatte prints across silk pyjamas and oversized cashmere sweaters. Rendered on soft, fluid silhouettes, the motifs offer a modish expression of familiar codes—connecting storied heritage to the sartorial culture of the moment. Max Mara's 2026 resort collection was unveiled at the grand La Reggia di Caserta. Courtesy of Max Mara There's also an earthy sense of charm that runs through the entire collection—sun-faded pinks, powdery blue, off-white, and muted tobacco. Silhouette play was also apparent in the ensembles: f ull circle skirts came with lozenge-shaped pockets that jutted out slightly, lending a sculptural dimension to the silhouette, while some were paired with portrait-collared tops and matching strapless bras. There's a certain playfulness, too, in the rolled-up shorts—referencing Silvana Mangano's turn in Riso Amaro—reimagined with a polished, intentional edge. The tailoring shifts throughout, but the coats are a steady anchor—Belted, shawl-collared, funnel-necked, or fringed, they speak to the luxury brand's core—practical yet always poised. The range also sees a quiet contrast between ornament and architecture: strapless gowns in dense panno scattered with crystals, their silhouettes underpinned by boned silk gauze bodices that peek just above the neckline. The cherished Whitney Bag returns to the runway, reinterpreted in four new editions for the season. Courtesy of Max Mara Accessories extend that duality of refinement and utility. The Whitney Bag, a cherished silhouette since 2015, returns in four new editions, sculpted with cleaner lines and softened curves. Another standout accessory seen on the runway were silk scarves, printed with Marinella's reinterpreted archival designs, offering a more intimate and meaningful detail to any look. Together, these elements sketch a portrait of a woman who is empowered by history—a visual representation of Italian culture, heritage and cinema.

7 Legendary Glastonbury Outfits You Can Copy Right Now
From the muddy fields to the main stage, Glastonbury isn't just a music festival, it's a fashion moment. Year after year, be it from A-list celebs to regular festival goers, the festival delivers a parade of iconic looks that blend utility with style. And whether you're dancing through downpours or soaking up sun at the stone circle, your outfit should be as memorable as the line-up. From Kate Moss' era-defining mini dress and Hunter boots to Alexa Chung's flawless mix of layering and high-low styling, Glasto has long been the ultimate runway for festival fashion. To help you pack for this festival (and beyond), we're breaking down some of the most legendary looks spotted backstage over the years and showing you exactly how to copy them. Whether you're channeling rock and roll glamour, off-duty model cool, or playful Britpop vibes, there's something here for everyone. Arguably the most iconic Glastonbury look of all time, Kate Moss' 2005 look is and was the epitome of rock and roll festival style. In the 20 years since Moss stepped out in a shimmering mini dress to Glasto, both Dua Lipa and Alexa Chung have dutifully followed suit. And for good reason: a shimmery mini dress brings effortless glam to even the most sodden of campsites, while the oversized belt adds definition and a tough-girl edge. Layered with a cropped leather jacket and mud-splattered Hunter wellies and be the coolest girl on the field. For a cool yet practical Glastonbury outfit, channel Sienna Miller's 2024 look. Featuring a checked, zip-up shell jacket and drawstring white utility trousers this ensemble is totally festival-functional. The oversized silhouette offers comfort and airflow, perfect for all-day wear, all while delivering a 1990s Britpop vibe. Welly boots are a must for muddy fields - consider a Chelsea boot style to go with trousers. Alexa Chung's 2024 Glastonbury look combines romanticism and vintage vibes with edge. A flowing, pastel yellow slip dress trimmed with lace is both dreamy and daring, particularly when paired with an oversized parka coat. Tough black boots ground the look and add festival practicality for stomping through fields. This outfit proves that mixing soft femininity with rugged outerwear creates a standout look you can recreate with secondhand finds and statement layering. For a playful and practical Glastonbury vibe, Margot Robbie's look is a festival win. An oversized, nostalgic sweatshirt adds a fun twist to even the most practical of outfits (Chloë Sevigny is a big fan of Mickey Mouse tees) and some Fear And Loathing-style sunglasses give you full license to quote Thompson all festival weekend long. While Margot can get away with full length leggings, we'd swap these out for capris or denim, but we're all in on the Hunter wellies and colourful backpack. This ensemble proves you can stay comfy, cute, and mud-proof all at once - ideal for the laid-back festival-goer. Stay incognito, like Adwoa Aboah, in hard-wearing but still cool camouflage. Pick up your camo pieces at army surplus stores at a steal, while ensuring you're wearing premium grade stuff. Jazz up your look with a 'personality hat' - we love Emma Brewin's furry bucket hats, but head scarves and fisherman hats would also do the trick. Embrace your inner eccentric, clash prints with purpose, and make your outfit as unforgettable as the music lineup itself. If you want to give it girl energy at Glastonbury, take notes from this iconic look. A tailored waistcoat worn as a top reads androgynous, while micro shorts and a studded belt keep the silhouette fearless. Pair, as ever, with black Hunter wellies and a simple crossbody bag keeps essentials handy without ruining the vibe. To recreate this effortlessly cool energy, layer some minimalist jewellery, and let your confidence do the talking. This is festival fashion stripped back and turned up. Alexa Chung's Glastonbury look is a masterclass in festival layering. To recreate it, start with high-waisted denim shorts over opaque black tights (for warmth). Add a fitted denim jacket for double denim done right, then top it with a waxed Barbour coat to stay practical and timeless. The key accessory? A printed neck scarf that adds a pop of personality. And of course, finish with essential muddy wellies. This outfit blends British heritage with cool-girl charm.

Gwyneth Paltrow Gives Her Ski Trial Style a Ritzier Second Act
Over two years ago, Gwyneth Paltrow inadvertently became an avatar of the quiet luxury trend while taking the stand in her ski accident trial in Deer Valley, Utah. While her sumptuous knits and smart suiting did help catalyze the stealth wealth craze, Paltrow's own style usually has a bit more of an edge, expressed through bold colors or a little sparkle. Yesterday, she embraced the latter at the Max Mara resort 2026 show. Paltrow joined the likes of Joey King and Alexa Chung in the front row at the Naples, Italy show. For the occasion, she embraced her ski trial conventions—neutrals and knits—with some sparkle thrown in for good measure. On top, Paltrow wore a beige knit short-sleeved V-neck with ribbing to the bust and a haphazard sprinkling of brown rhinestones and paillettes. She paired it with a matching beige A-line midi skirt. As for her shoes, she kept it in the color family with a pair of warm brown pointy-toe heels. With her sophisticated silhouette, luxe materials, and neutral palette—plus the added pizzazz of her rhinestone and sequin embellishments—Gwyneth Paltrow is giving her ski trial style a ritzier second act.

These Are The Summer Trainers Hitting The Streets in Paris
The French have long nailed the ballet flat. It's practically a prerequisite to being Parisian, right up there with the petulant pfffftttssss , strong coffee and that insouciant, undone-but-somehow-still-glamourous thing they do so well. So imagine my surprise when the streets–stretching from the Marais to the 11th arrondissement–weren't dotted with scruffed-up Chanel flats or ballerina-esque Margiela Tabis, but with trainers. Yes, trainers. Worn by all the coolest girls. Now, I'm not a sneakerhead —and frankly, I've never been particularly enthralled by the whole athleisure culture that's swept through most urban cities. I always felt a quiet kinship with Parisians, who are almost aggressively indifferent to exercise and would sooner be caught dead than in yoga leggings or overt workout gear. So to see trainers worn so nonchalantly, looking pulled together and every bit haughty despite their casual ease, I was forced to reconsider my stance. Alexa Chung in her Samba's breaking up a summer suit Gigi Hadid rocking her Samba's and double denim To be fair, these trainers were miles away from anything resembling performance wear—or those gargantuan Triple S Balenciaga sneakers that once dominated pop culture. A tricky silhouette that somehow made sense on spindly legs and required a certain froidure to pull off (you need real attitude to wear a shoe like that). Instead, the trainers spotted all over Paris were their polar opposites: anti-bulk, barely-there soles with a retro bent. Dries Van Noten's versions were a clear hit – suede, sorbet-coloured, and everywhere. Another strong contender was Margiela's newly launched nylon Sprinter, seen in soft pastel hues, as well as a snazzy acid green number that all but dominated. Wisps of sneakers, really. So compellingly chic, I was ready to throw all my trainer tribulations out the window. Fashion is fickle–and, seemingly, so am I. Clearly, Parisians, and all the best-dressed celebrities with megawatt star power, agree. From the slim Adidas Samba to Prada's aptly named Collapse sneaker (also in nylon, a core trend), the trainer has become compact, agile, impossible to resist. Alexa Chung is a devoted Samba girl, wearing hers with effortless élan —a clever contrast to a summer suit and a ladylike Chanel bag. Gigi, on the other hand, rides the wave in all blue, fully committed to her double-denim moment. But one of the best looks clocked on the 3rd arrondissement was a nameless stranger in balloon cotton beige poplin-tie waist pants rolled up messily, a navy cardigan tied up and falling off the shoulder, its saving grace. And where you would have expected a sweet slip on sandal, was a nylon sneaker, obstructing what would otherwise have been a perfectly preppy ensemble. The styling nuance these summer sneakers bring isn't just about comfort, it's about intention. They either lighten up a serious outfit or add a knowing touch of irony: a retro trainer with a suit, a pair of shorts worn with a blazer, high socks and a suede sneaker. The trainer is no longer an afterthought—it's the outfit-maker. Comfort may be a given, but it's almost beside the point.
