Chloe Bailey: Latex That Stuns and Speaks
One of 2025’s boldest fashion statements? Chloe Bailey’s sculpted latex gown, a high shine red-and-black masterpiece that looked like it was poured on. More than a look, it’s statement: powerful, unapologetic, and pure performance energy. Latex isn’t just edgy anymore; it’s high fashion’s power move.
Style it: Go for a glossy latex or vinyl midi skirt, pointed heels and a statement collarbone chain.
Pro Tip: Latex catches light like nothing else, perfect for low-lit venues, flash photography and making your own entrance from the VIP section.
Rihanna: Maximalism as Manifestation

Rihanna didn’t just show up, she arrived. Draped in an icy blue faux fur, a sculpted black corset, and a sky-high feathered hat, she gave us a reminder: fashion is a theater, and she’s always in the director’s chair. The look mixed vintage with drama, all anchored in one message. Don’t try to look like a star; know you are one.
Channel the Energy: Pick a standout piece, think oversized faux fur, bold feathers, or sharp, sculptural corsetry and let it lead.
For Those Who: Set the tone, not follow the trend.
A$AP Rocky: Clean Cuts, Loud Presence
While Rihanna brought the drama, A$AP Rocky delivered a masterclass in restraint– with just enough edge to make it unforgettable. His own navy suit, paired with a crisp cherry red tie, was a bold move done subtly. It was tailored but loose, classic yet current proof that confidence doesn’t always come wrapped in flash. Sometimes, it’s the cleanest that leaves the sharpest impression. Rocky’s approach shows that style isn’t just about the clothes, it’s about knowing exactly who you are in them. It’s refined, intentional, and quietly powerful. No gimmicks, just presence.
Style Tip: Go monochrome with one bold accent color. Focus on shape and fit– oversized doesn’t mean happy.
Model Insight: The most compelling looks aren’t worn– they’re owned. Confidence turns simplicity into a statement.

Victoria De Angelis: The New Sheer Renaissance
In a floor-length sheer dress draped beneath an oversized gray faux fur coat, Victoria De Angelis didn’t just wear a look– she embraced the attention. With thigh-high boots and sculptural styling,it was elegance with bite, glamour laced with rebellion, a perfect collision of softness and strength. This look is a perfect example of duality executed with fashion styling. Romantic fabrics paired with heavy outerwear, delicate lines offset by sharp attitude.
Style Formula: Layer soft, sheer textures under bold, structured outerwear. Finish it with thigh highs and a smudge of smoky liner.
Best For: The multi-hyphenate creative who moves fluidly between the art house and afterparty, looking like they belong at both.

Julia Fox: Deconstructed Glam with Defiant Energy
No one does chaos-as-couture quite like Julia Fox. Her signature style is a rebellion against the expected– think raw hems, visible seams, jagged cuts and silhouettes that look like they were sculpted mid meltdown (in the best way). Whether she’s in upcycled denim or a dress that feels more art installation than evening wear, Julia proves that imperfection isn’t a flaw, it’s a flex.
Her looks are unapologetically experimental walking the line between fashion and performance. It’s not about polish or predictability, it’s about presence. Every torn edge and twisted shape feels intentional, like a wearable manifesto for creatives who don’t ask for space – they take it.
Channel the Chaos: Mix the asymmetrical cuts with slick hair and sharp liner. Clash textures like denim, mesh, leather for that raw-meets-refined feel.
Made For: The artists, models, and boundary-pushers who don’t just break the rules – they redesign the whole playbook in their own image.

Charli XCX: Bold and Edgy is Brat
If there is one artist who’s mastered the art of controlled chaos, it’s Charli XCX. Crowned the ultimate Brat, her style is messy on purpose. Her brand is all about smudged eyeliner, unbrushed hair, ripped tops, mini shorts, and absolutely no rules except have fun and be loud about it. It’s a look that doesn’t chase perfection, it dances all over it in platform boots.
Charli’s fashion is for the fearless and fun: bold colors, offbeat silhouettes, and just enough mess to feel effortlessly cool. Her vibe says, I got ready in 10 minutes and still look better than you. It’s bratty, rebellious, and completely magnetic.
Steal the Vibe: Go for thick eyeliner, wet look or tousled hair, and bold, unconventional pieces– think ripped fabrics, clashing colors or barely-there proportions.
Confidence Check: This style gets stares– and that’s the entire point. Own the chaos, because bold looks deserve bold energy.
