Ayesha Curry Wears Custom GapStudio

Ayesha Curry attended the San Francisco Modern Museum of Art (SFMOMA) Bash this week wearing a gold knit off-the-shoulder dress and gold corset designed by Gap Inc.’s EVP and Creative Director, Zac Posen, styled by Jason Bolden. SFMOMA’s Art Bash supports the museum’s education initiatives, family programs, and community engagement events, benefiting over 150,000 people annually and helping make art more accessible. Reflecting his deep commitment to the arts and education, Posen was appointed to SFMOMA’s Board of Trustees earlier this year.

“Ayesha is such an important part of the Bay Area—strong, grounded, and deeply connected to the community,” Zac Posen shared in a statement. “For a night like SFMOMA’s Art Bash, we wanted something sculptural and modern that captured that spirit, with glistening Golden State energy. In my new role on the SFMOMA Board of Trustees, this moment is a meaningful way for us to celebrate the creative culture that defines San Francisco.”

Louis Vuitton Unveils Mon Monogram, Its Newly Enhanced Personalisation Service

Rooted in the art of travel, personalization on canvas has been offered throughout the history of Louis Vuitton. Personalization has been a cornerstone of Louis Vuitton’s history since its inception, starting with the customization of trunks. 

Louis Vuitton has been in the personalization game since the early 1900s. From custom trunks with bold graphics to monograms that made luggage stand out on any train platform, the House turned practicality into personal style.

What started as a way to spot your suitcase became a canvas for self-expression. Fast forward to today, and Mon Monogram takes it to the next level—letting you customize everything from travel bags to small leather goods, all handmade in France. Personalization isn’t just tradition at Louis Vuitton, it’s part of the brand’s DNA.

Serena Williams Wears Stella McCartney

Tennis legend and beauty entrepreneur Serena Williams attended the Time100 Gala event in a Stella McCartney gown featuring daring slits and effortless elegance. The look was paired with sheer black gloves, pointed heels, and a chunky diamond-shaped necklace that brought the drama because when Serena shows up, it’s always a grand slam.

Simone Biles Wears Oscar de la Renta

Simone Biles, the award-winning gymnast and global icon, stunned at the Time100 Gala in an elegant off-the-shoulder Oscar de la Renta gown adorned with delicate embellishments. She completed the look with strappy sandals, a sleek clutch, and sparkling drop earrings: graceful, powerful, and every bit the star she is.

Jodie Turner-Smith Wears Burberry

Jodie Turner-Smith brought her signature elegance to the Thunderbolts premiere in London, turning heads in a striking Burberry ensemble. She wore a long, pleated black skirt paired with a sharp black jacket, cinched at the waist with a statement gold-adorned belt that added a touch of glamour. A sleek black leather bag completed the look, blending classic sophistication with modern edge, to us this was a look that epitomizes Jodie through and through.

Jordyn Woods Wears Custom CSV New York

Days ago, Jordyn Woods was spotted in a custom jacket and skirt by CSV New York, inspired by their New York Embroidered set, but reimagined with the iconic New York Knicks colors, the team her boyfriend Karl Anthony Towns plays for. Woods wore the outfit to support the Knicks during a playoff game, choosing a custom top and a voluminous blue skirt instead of the full set.
