Kim Kardashian graces Allure’s latest cover and gets real on her thoughts on beauty
Kim Kardashian seems to be everywhere these days. And now, ‘everywhere’ also includes the cover of Allure’s new issue, where she dons a nude Skims bodysuit to let her long blond braids take center stage. For the feature, the entrepreneur dishes to editor Danielle Pergament about her thoughts on aging, everything she’s done to her face, finding peace with not always being perfect, and even shares her beauty secrets. Answering what everyone always wonders, KK reveals to Pergament what cosmetic enhancements she’s devout to. “A little bit of Botox,” she says. “But I’ve chilled, actually.” The mom-of-four also claims that she’s never had filler, never gotten eyelash extensions, or microbladed her eyebrows. “I care. I really, genuinely care about looking good,” Kardashian admits. “I probably care more than 90% of the people on this planet. It’s not easy when you’re a mom and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school, and I’m all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing laser treatments.” To read the full feature, styled by Kyle Luu and lensed by Danielle Levitt, see here.
Olivier Rousteing showcases his couture offering for Jean Paul Gaultier
If you thought Couture Week couldn’t get any more awe-inspiring, yesterday’s Jean Paul Gaultier show is sure to make you think again. This season witnessed the third iteration of the French house’s collaborative project, which sees Gaultier handing the reins over to a new designer each season. For its latest collection, the namesake founder invited Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing to take charge. The result was nothing short of a love letter to the JPG brand, its signatures, and its most storied pop culture moments. For instance, blue Breton stripes, conical bras, and sheer fabrics abounded, while a navy pinstripe gown with nude leather panels covering the breasts referenced Madonna’s eyebrow-raising 1992 AMFAR Gala number. Rousteing also paid homage to Gaultier’s iconic perfume bottles too with a look which featured a metal tin can-esque skirt and turquoise sculpted crop top. All in all, the collection was a nostalgic and glamorous homage, imbued with Rousteing’s signature coolness and apt attention to detail. Watch the whole show below:

Earlier today, Kim Jones presented a collection that was simple, yet incredibly elegant and ethereal. The show opened with a series of camel-colored looks that continued Jones’ experimentation with suiting, which was previously seen in his Fall ‘22 ready to wear outing. From there, delicate pastel tones and flowing silhouettes emerged. The highlights of the show were undeniably the sheer beaded and floral gowns, with their panels of shimmering and embroidered fabrics exposing skin in an artful display of femininity. Jones continues to meld his own signature style with Fendi’s house codes, exploring the label’s softer, sensual side in the process.

Yesterday, German house MCM launched their latest campaign for the Fall Winter ‘22 season. Titled “The Movement,” the campaign is, you guessed it, centered around the concept of mobility. Although MCM has never been stagnant in its active exploration and development of its signature styles, with this dynamic, motion-centric campaign, such evolution is taken to new heights.
