The Rise of Playful Proportions: Inside the World of Fashion's Most Joyful Silhouette
Gone are the days when minimalism reigned supreme and proportions played it safe. As Coco Chanel once said 'fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.' And In 2025 that architecture is being reimagined – through asymmetry, drama and deliberate imbalance, fashion is finally shedding its obsession with restraint and symmetry. The message? Proportions are no longer a matter of balance but of boldness. From voluminous sleeves that seem to float midair to sharply exaggerated tailoring which borders on the theatrical, the fashion world is embracing a new aesthetic vocabulary – playful proportions. This isn't just a passing trend – it is a bold reimagining of elegance, where individuality takes centre stage and maximalism is no longer a rebellion. Tracee Ellis Ross in Marc Jacobs at the Met Gala Amina Khalil in Rami Kadi at Cannes At the MetGala 2025, Tracee Ellis Ross's striking Marc Jacobs ensemble, featuring exaggerated wide legged trousers and a sculptural satin bow at the waist was the perfect example of how a voluminous silhouette transforms classic tailoring into high fashion drama. At Cannes 2025, Amina Khalil, wore a custom Rami Kadi gown with a sculpted bodice and cascading feathered tiers, a striking balance between softness and structure. On the runway On recent runways, fashion houses took to inflating silhouettes and a touch of playfulness. From YSL's sloped and elongated shoulders and voluminous ball gowns to Schiaparelli's carefully engineered construction of silhouettes. Rami Al Ali's Spring/Summer 2025, was an architectural marvel with geometric motifs which disrupted the symmetry of the otherwise sleek silhouettes. Ashi Studio's immense Balloon skirt created an intentional imbalance and exaggerated volume in a theatrical way. They show that awkward proportions and layering doesn't have to be over the top – they can be elegant and wearable too. Why is fashion leaning into this imbalance? At first, playful proportions might look like just a fun and impractical trend. But if you look closer, it's a natural reaction to the visual fatigue of minimal, plain fashion. It's less like a trend and more like a philosophy. Now, after the pandemic and the quiet luxury trend, people are moving back towards bold styles that show personality, creativity, and joy. The desire to break free, advocating for fun and expressive fashion and the appetite for emotions, personality, and visual excitement is definitely knocking our doors. High street brands are replicating the look with unexpected creativity – ballooned sleeves, wide cut pants, trapeze shaped coats, they are making fashion fun again for the average consumer. The desire to reject perfection and embrace individuality reflects how people, especially Gen Z and social creators, want to stand out and celebrate their complexities. Fashion creators' search history probably reads like a modern style manifesto: oversized jackets, statement sleeves, layered looks. This shows that fashion creators are looking for more volume, drama and excitement. It helps them break traditional fashion rules, turning garments into bold statements of identity and creativity. It does not only amplify one's volume but demands attention allowing for personal expression which says more is more.

'I worked at Boots and this little known perfume may be the scent of summer'
For the perfume fans among us, summer always presents an opportunity to find a new scent. With so many bottles on the market, many of us go for ones that are well known. However, amongst the Marc Jacobs and Hugo Boss offerings that tend to be bestsellers at this time of year, there are a few alternative options amongst them that are worth giving a go. One of them is the newly launched Zadig, by Parisian fragrance house, Zadig & Voltaire, a 'floriental woody fragrance for women' that, despite being a new addition to the market, has already earned glowing praise from one perfume fanatic. Bethan Shufflebotham of the Manchester Evening News, who used to work on the health and beauty chain's perfume counter, spotted this light, creamy coloured perfume on a recent store visit and said she "didn't know whether to shout about it from the rooftops, or keep it a closely guarded secret." After she couldn't resist spritzing the perfume, which boasts a unique wing-inspired bottle, the former Boots employee shared her full thoughts which can be found just below. "The result is a warm, smoky and incredibly moreish scent you can't help but keep going back to. It's feminine but powerful and a little edgy, like those cool girls that pull off a leather jacket thrown over a silk slip dress. "When I look at my perfume collection, it is pretty vanilla heavy, which is perhaps why I was so drawn to Zadig. According to perfume experts on TikTok, fragrances with similar profiles will tend to be housed in a bottle of a similar colour, which is a hack that comes in super handy when shopping fragrances online, or if you don't want to smell every bottle in store to find something you like. "With that theory in mind, some alternatives may include the likes of YSL Libre, which also contains orange blossom and vanilla. Zadig also says their wing-inspired bottle is symbolic of freedom, with Libre translating to 'free' in French. " Burberry Goddess would be another great choice, boasting key notes of vanilla and lavender. And coincidentally, Amandine Clerc-Marie was involved in crafting this popular 2023 scent, too. Despite being new to the market, Zadig is already holding its own, and has gained popularity with fans of Alien, Flowerbomb and Fame. One said: 'I'm usually quite pernickety about sweet fragrances but this was not overpowering at all. In fact I was regularly complimented when wearing it. It's a bit more tart than YSL Black Opium but I quite like that.' 'This is one of the best perfumes I've smelt in a while,' said another. 'It has a gorgeous fragrance and lasts all day. Quite a few people have commented when I wear it, I absolutely love it.' A third penned: 'Absolutely loved this. Gorgeous bold smell and really did last all day from one squirt. Usually wear Flowerbomb and this is a good rival for similar scent, but this is the longest lasting I've ever found.' The fragrance is also vegan and made from 89% natural-origin ingredients, plus the bottle is refillable, making it more sustainable than some other bottles available. However, some shoppers weren't so keen on the wing design. 'I absolutely love the scent of this fragrance. At first it smells quite strong but becomes subtle quite quickly, however I could still smell it on me 5+ hours later. I'm not a big fan of the statement bottle, which is why it's lost a star from me.' While the scent profile has earned much praise, some wearers (as above) report it lasting five plus hours, others note that it fades more quickly. Beauty deal of the week Looking for last minute gift inspiration for dad ahead of Sunday, June 15. Then don't fret, as we have you covered, as no-one can go wrong with a new bottle of cologne, and we have spotted Versace's The Dreamer for him Eau de Toilette for 67 percent less at Superdrug. Hailed for being "underrated" and "truly unique", a large 100ml bottle of this fragrance has been dropped from £74 to £24, allowing you to make a huge saving of £50 and get in a thoughtful gift. Described as "warm" and "fresh", Versace's Dreamer is an aromatic fragrance that, while belonging to the cologne family, is said to boast a variety of notes that make it suitable for both men and women. The scent opens on vibrant notes of juniper, tarragon, and artemisia, before blending into heart notes of iris, lily and flax flowers to add a touch of softness. It then ends on a comforting base of tobacco blossom and amber, offering a smoky, luxurious finish. The transparent, clear fragrance itself is housed in an opulent glass bottle that has been embossed with the iconic medusa logo, representing the luxury aesthetic of the iconic fashion house. Versace's Dreamer EDT has managed to earn glowing reviews and a 4.6 rating from shoppers, with one saying: "Truly unique and dreamy fragrance. It's a great fragrance but it's underrated. Guys you have to try this one, it's great for all year round." And someone else wrote: "Not to be overlooked. This is a lesser known Versace men's fragrance but oh my it is gorgeous ! Hubby loved it and amazing value for money." Versace's The Dreamer For Him Eau de Toilette (100ml) can be bought for 67 percent less at Superdrug now. One shopper who usually wears Fame or Alien said: 'Upon spraying a bit onto a sample stick I was not expecting to be wowed at all. How wrong I was. It smelled amazing. "Very reminiscent of my beloved long time signature scent of Alien. So I doused myself in the stuff before leaving the store. Went home and straight onto Boots online. "Decided to order myself the biggest bottle as best value for money. It's also refillable which also scores big brownie points with me. I've worn it once since it arrived and received many compliments on my scent and I've told everyone about 'Zadig''. Finishing her own review, Bethan added: "I will be honest I'd never heard of the brand or the perfume itself until I happened by it accidentally. I am saving mine for special occasions so as not to overwear it. "My only niggle is that I don't think the scent lasts all day as I couldn't smell it after a few hours unlike Alien and Fame. So even though it was a perfume as opposed to an EDT I feel they need to work on the longevity of the wear somehow." Perfume fans looking to try out the little known Zadig & Voltaire - ZADIG Eau de Parfum (90ml) can buy it for £110 from Boots now.

Sydney Sweeney reveals she never gets nervous filming nude scenes as she poses in VERY racy snaps for W Magazine cover
Sydney Sweeney revealed that she never gets nervous filming nude scenes as she posed in a series of very racy snaps on Tuesday. The actress, 27, has stripped down for several roles in her career - most notable in her role as the sexually promiscuous Cassie in hit series Euphoria. But now speaking to W Magazine she has said she feels the female body is a 'very powerful thing'. The star remarked: 'I don't get nervous...I think that the female body is a very powerful thing. 'And I'm telling my character's story, so I owe it to them to tell it well and to do what needs to be done.' In the striking accompanying shots, Sydney put on a very busty display in a red and white striped bralet which she wore with matching tights, hot pants and a matching helmet. Another saw her in tiny black leather shorts and a cap, before showing off some leg in a red mini dress and sexy black thigh-high socks and heels in a different image. In other shots she embraced the character of a Miu Miu prom queen, a Hermès biker chick, and a Marc Jacobs sleeping beauty. In the interview she then reminisced about her 1980s Prom themed birthday party saying: 'I actually didn't go to my prom, but on my 26th birthday, I threw myself a 1980s prom, and it was so much fun! I rented out the venue and put streamers and disco balls everywhere. 'I built a cool disco stage and had letterman jackets that you could customize. I had an old-school photo booth and a caricature artist. 'I made my grandma the prom queen and my lawyer the prom king. I had a short custom dress made pink with ruffles.' The striking shoot comes after Sydney continued to gush over her co-star Glen Powell - one day after his ex slammed them for igniting affair speculation. The defiant blonde bombshell waxed lyrical about a career opportunity the 36-year-old hunk helped her out with during a chat on The Kelly Clarkson show - two years after they indulged in a steamy showmance while promoting Anyone But You. The defiant blonde bombshell waxed lyrical about a career opportunity the 36-year-old hunk helped her out with during a chat on The Kelly Clarkson show Earlier this year, Sydney appeared on Tate McCrae song Miss Possessive - and Sweeney seized the opportunity to reveal it was Top Gun star Powell who landed her the opportunity. Sydney said: 'I've been a huge fan of her music. I think she's so beyond talented. She's so hot. 'Yeah, uh and Glen actually connected me with her. He was like, 'hey, Tate wants me to connect you two. Can I give her your number?' I said 'yeah, sure.' 'So, he put us in contact and then she reached out and was like, 'hey, I really would love to sample your voice for a portion of my song and my new album. Would you be down?' I'm like 'hell yes.' Yeah. It's so cool.' This came after Glen's ex-girlfriend Gigi Paris finally revealed her reaction to rumors that he had an affair with Hollywood siren Sydney. Gigi, 32, and Glen were involved with each other for 'over three years' before splitting in 2023, she explained on the podcast Too Much. About that time, Glen and Sydney were promoting their romantic comedy Anyone But You when they were were hit with speculation they had an on-set romance - and deliberately played into the conjecture to drum up publicity for the movie. He freely admitted afterwards that the gambit 'worked wonderfully,' as the film was a smash hit, and he added to the New York Times: 'Sydney is very smart.' However Gigi has now shared her side of the story, recalling that she was left 'blindsided' and 'shattered' when the romance rumors hit the headlines. Her A-list ex, whom she did not name, allegedly waved away her concerns by saying: 'This is what I have to do for my job.' contacted representatives for Sydney and Glen for comment. Gigi said that once she was faced with Glen's argument that the situation was a professional necessity, she 'had two options.' Another shot saw her in tiny black leather shorts and a cap, before showing off some leg in a red mini dress and sexy black thigh-high socks and heels in a different image In another shot she wore a chic Fendi coat and green heels She explained: 'I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder: 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f***?' Or stand up for myself and say: 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm waking away.' So that's what I decided to do.' The Miami-born model insisted: 'It wasn't a way to monetize the breakup. It wasn't a way to twist the story around. I was shattered, shattered.' Gigi added: 'I just wanted respect. Especially if it's gonna be public, like don't make an a** out of me. Just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years, talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know?' She claimed that for Glen, 'at the end of the day, it was like: 'Well, work comes first.' And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away.' In her view, the situation was 'handled' improperly from a publicity standpoint and left her feeling 'like I was just fed to the dogs, like: 'Good luck. You handle this.'' Gigi decided to exit the relationship because 'I just hit a threshold of what I could take, and I was just so disappointed and that was that.' In the months after his split from Gigi, Glen said he gave Sydney 'all the credit' for using the romance rumors to fuel publicity for their picture; Glen and Sydney pictured February 2024 She shared that she 'flew across the world to look at him in the face and say: 'I can't do this anymore,' and was 'bawling' throughout the flight to Australia, where Anyone But You was predominantly filmed. Gigi also argued that Glen should have issued a public statement denying the affair and insisting that he was faithful to her. 'I know that I deserve a lot better, and I know that the bare minimum of any relationship is to have your partner's back, period,' she contended. At the time, Sydney, 27, was engaged to her longtime boyfriend Jonathan Davino, 41, whom she publicly confirmed her split from this May after months of breakup rumors.
