Demna unveils his final ready-to-wear collection for Balenciaga
Hoodies, oversized puffer jackets, baggy trousers, long coats, distressed or washed denim — Demna has unveiled his final ready-to-wear collection for Balenciaga, a curated synthesis of his 10-year tenure at the Kering -owned fashion house. The collection serves as a manifesto, or a parting statement, as the designer prepares to leave the Parisian label in July, following his last couture show, to take the helm at Gucci, the group's flagship brand. The Georgian-born, German-based designer (whose full name is Demna Gvasalia) has reshaped Balenciaga's image over the past decade, bringing it firmly into the 21st century with a blend of luxury streetwear and tailored silhouettes featuring exaggerated proportions. For spring 2026, he presents 48 looks. The lineup spans sculptural, tailored pieces that reinterpret Cristóbal Balenciaga's signature curves and a sportier, street-inspired wardrobe marked by oversized volumes, reworked vintage items and an anti-establishment spirit that defines the designer's approach. These elements contrast sharply with the refined, romantic style of Pierpaolo Piccioli, who will succeed him. The collection features pieces drawn from 35 past collections, new designs and garments from the designer's personal wardrobe. 'They represent the volumes, silhouettes and attitudes that have shaped my vision and exploration of contemporary wardrobe — what people really wear, how they wear it, and the line between luxury and fashion,' Demna explains in a letter-style statement, describing the collection as 'a return to my roots after all these years.' The collection unmistakably evokes Vetements, the brand Demna founded in 2014 and left in 2019. It also suggests the potential direction Gucci might take in the coming months — reimagining the Italian house's classics through a radical contemporary lens and elevating everyday pieces into a new form of luxury through an ongoing exploration of wardrobe archetypes. 'My work at Balenciaga, and in general, has often revolved around the anthropology of fashion and dress codes,' Demna notes. To visually reinforce this theme, he collaborated with photographer Ari Versluis and profiler-stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek. The Dutch duo, whose project Exactitudes (also the title of this collection) has strongly influenced Demna's styling, have spent years photographing and categorizing individuals across various socio-cultural groups based on their clothing and style. Demna first discovered their work while studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Over the years, he has continued to explore the concept of social uniforms and how individuals personalize their clothing. The work of Versluis and Uyttenbroek has left a lasting imprint on his fashion approach. Speaking about this final collection, the artistic director highlights this influence: 'It marks the end of a beautiful era that I wanted to capture and celebrate by creating the 'Balenciaga archetypes' — the people, silhouettes, atmosphere and ideas that have all been fundamental to my work for this incredible house.' At the same time, the brand is launching a music collaboration with Britney Spears as part of its Balenciaga Music project, which began in 2020. The project offers Balenciaga clients access to curated musical content, including playlists compiled by Demna and various artists, along with a capsule collection. Inspired by the American pop star's concert aesthetic, the collection features a limited edition of T-shirts, zip-up hoodies and caps adorned with Spears' autograph and archival imagery, finished with vintage-inspired treatments that resemble classic album merchandise. The project also includes an exclusive playlist created by the pop icon and two remixes of her most iconic tracks by BFRND, the stage name of musician Loïk Gomez — Demna's husband — who has composed the soundtracks for all Balenciaga runway shows. Before unveiling his couture collection and moving on to Milan, the designer will receive one final tribute in Paris during men's fashion week with an exhibition titled Balenciaga by Demna, which will run from June 26 to July 9 at Kering's headquarters on Rue de Sèvres.

Simone Biles calls out Kylie Jenner over hilariously oversized Khy blazer: ‘This is a crime!'
Simone Biles is not a fan of Kylie Jenner's clothing line Khy's sizing. The Olympian took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a hilarious selfie, in which she is seen wearing an oversized faux leather blazer. She called the outfit's fitting a 'crime' before comparing the comical look to a meme featuring Gigi Hadid. 'Ms. kylie Jenner this is a crime !!!!!!' Biles captioned the photo shared on her Instagram Story. In the mirror selfie, the 28-year-old is seen drowning in a deep red outerwear. She followed up with an overly edited photo of Hadid wearing a larger-than-life Vetements hoodie. 'This is me on the last slide, SICK,' she wrote, comparing the two oversized garments. Despite ordering the smallest size, the blazer did not fit Biles, who is 4'8" tall. 'This is not an XXS/S,' the 7-time Olympic winner added. The Khy jacket is priced at $138 and comes in three different colours: merlot, honey, and black. It has five sizes: XXS/S, S/M, L/XL, 2X/3X, and 4X.

Made from a textured, structured, premium faux leather.' Jenner sells a variety of outerwear, ranging from $118 to $498. The Kardashians star launched her label in November 2023, raking in $1 million in sales in the first hour of its launch. 'I want people to know how completely involved I am in this,' Jenner told Vogue at the time. 'From original concept, to designing, or co-designing if we're working with other designers, from picking fabrics, colors, I've been in every fit meeting. I am the creative director of the brand and marketing,' she added. '

Simone Biles called out Kylie Jenner for sizing issues with her brand
Simone Biles playfully called out Kylie Jenner on Instagram regarding the sizing of a faux leather blazer from Jenner's KHY collection. Biles, known for her petite frame, found the XXS/XS blazer to be excessively large, humorously comparing the oversized fit to a massive hoodie. The internet quickly responded to Biles' remarks about the inconsistent sizing. Simon Biles is known to be a fashion maven. She impressed fashion critics with her MET Gala look, which featured a sculptural, icy blue Tory Burch gown, which was a perfect contrast against her husband's white tux. And Simone Biles just called out fashion and beauty moghul Kylie Jenner over the sizing issue with her brand's clothes. Simone posted a playful Instagram story where she could be seen wearing an oversized faux leather blazer from Kylie Jenner's KHY collection. However, the bazer clearly does not fit her and the piece completely drowns her petite frame. Her witty caption declared, "Ms. Kylie Jenner, this is a crime!!!!! this is not XXS/XS." Did Simone Biles slam Kylie Jenner over inconsistent sizing in her brand? The $138 blazer has a long, ultra-oversized cut with dropped shoulders and flap pockets. Despite ordering an XXS/XS, the blazer looked unusually large on the 4'8" Olympian, and the Internet was quick to respond to Simone's remarks. Simone Biles wearing the blazer from Kylie's brand. Source: Instagram According to KHY's size guide, shoppers are encouraged to stick with their usual size, though a note suggests sizing down for those preferring a less dramatic fit. However, Simone shared another fun slide poking fun at how funny the blazer looked on her. In a follow-up post, she doubled down on the joke by reposting a photo of Gigi Hadid in a massive Vetements x Tommy Hilfiger hoodie. The oversized look resembled more of a blanket but depicted how Simone felt in her KHY blazer. Her caption read, "this is me in the last slide, SICK." Simone Biles, who has more than 12.5 million Instagram followers, recently cheered on her husband Jonathan Owens over an announcement involving him. Owens was featured in a video that announced the drop of a video ebook created by a NFL defensive back specialist Jalil Johnson. Biles reposted the announcement, sending a message to Jonathan Owens while doing so. "Someone leave my number for the first guy," Biles said with three heart-eye emojis.

Janet Jackson brings the heat at 2025 AMAs, says she is ‘no icon' after slaying first TV performance in 7 years
After a seven-year break from television performances, the pop and R&B legend descended upon the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas like a glitter-dusted phoenix. And she brought the full heat, think live band, killer backup dancers, and enough Vetements denim to make anyone swoon. Janet Jackson's performance at AMA Her medley performance? Pure nostalgia on steroids. Jackson launched into Someone to Call My Lover before sliding seamlessly into All for You, sashaying across the stage at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas as if no time had passed since the early 2000s. Honestly, if you blinked, you might have missed the fact that it has been nearly a decade since she last did this on live TV. Janet Jackson performing at the #AMAs. Janet Jackson receiving the Icon Award at the #AMAs. JANET JACKSON'S FIRST TELEVISED PERFORMANCE in 7 YEARS 💗#AMAs Janet Jackson - The Icon Award winner And then came the cherry on top, the Icon Award. Introduced by the ever-energetic Tasha Smith, Janet accepted the honour with the kind of grace and humility that only Janet Jackson could pull off. She said she was 'grateful' for the award but did not quite see herself as an icon. According to her, fame was never the family dream; it just showed up uninvited after years of hustling, dancing, and loving music like it was religion. She reflected on her journey, calling it 'an American story', one that could only have happened in the United States. She thanked her team, her family, her fans, and yes, God. Not the subtle mention type , a full-on mic-drop reminder that 'God wants to be in every part of your life.' Janet Jackson's retun? Janet has not released a studio album since Unbreakable dropped in 2015, but that has not stopped her from staying busy. She has been touring, celebrating anniversaries of her classic albums (The Velvet Rope?), and quietly reclaiming her throne as a living legend. And while she may insist she is not an icon, we have got news for her , the world disagrees. Loudly. Dramatically. With sparkle emojis. The queen walked in grace, danced like no one was watching (even though millions were), and reminded us all why Janet Jackson will always be that girl. Icon? More like an eternal goddess of pop.
