Actress Song Hye-kyo spotted in Spain, demonstrates ageless, chameleon-like beauty
MADRID, June 22 — Actress Song Hye-kyo was spotted in Spain for a Chaumet event.
Song, global ambassador for the brand alongside Cha Eun-woo, had recently been seen spotting a shorter hairstyle in contrast to the long, flowy locks that had been her trademark.
Interestingly the long hair made a brief reappearance — the power of extensions, perhaps?
Pictures of her in long pink dress and shoulder-length hair popped up briefly on her Instagram but her latest post at the Chaumet event dinner showed her with her at chin-length in a strapless blueish-silver gown.
Fellow actress and Davichi member Kang Min-kyung as well as actress Han So-hee were among those who excitedly commented on her Chaumet event look.
Song was recently seen in the film Dark Nuns and is currently shooting a new Netflix drama, Show Business, alongside Gong Yoo.

Pharrell teases his brown denim at Paris fashion week
US singer-songwriter, music producer and fashion designer Pharrell Williams predicts his new Louis Vuitton jeans – 'coffee bean brown' denims – will be a big hit. (AFP pic) PARIS : Paris Men's Fashion Week kicks off Tuesday with shows by big hitters Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton, with American singer-turned-designer Pharrell Williams teasing his latest creation – 'coffee bean brown' denims. The man who got the world dancing to his catchy hit 'Happy' predicted the new Louis Vuitton jeans he will unveil at his Paris show will become a 'future staple' in fashionable wardrobes. Williams posted a rear-end photo of the roomy medium-brown jeans on Instagram, saying they are 'woven – not dyed', and are finished with an untreated leather belt loop echoing Vuitton's monogram and the fashion house's trunk-making roots. He also posted pictures of a matching denim jacket, finished with brassy buttons, over a white shirt and brown and beige striped T-shirt. The singer and producer usually draws a galaxy of music, film and sports stars to his Paris shows, the locations often as glamorous as his guest list. This time Williams is putting his Vuitton bags down in front of the Pompidou Centre modern art museum just before the architectural icon closes for a major overhaul. US basketball legend LeBron James and French San Antonio Spurs star Victor 'Wemby' Wembanyama are likely to be there as ambassadors for the brand, as well as Olympic swimming sensation Leon Marchand. The invitation sent to guests, a set of dice in a leather keyring case, hints that the designer may be taking something of a gamble. Saint Laurent back Saint Laurent also returns to the fashion week fold Tuesday after a two-and-a-half-year absence from the Paris men's shows. Heads have been rolling across much of the luxury industry as bumper profits have plunged. Saint Laurent's parent group Kering is no exception, with a drop in sales last year wiping 28 percent off its share price since the turn of the year. But shares shot back up 12% last week after former Renault boss Luca de Meo was named as Kering's new chief executive. Fashion buyer Alice Feillard of Galeries Lafayette, Europe's biggest department store chain, said the return of Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello to the men's fashion week was 'rather a good thing', and would help reinforce the label's men's line. Vaccarello teased his summer 2026 collection with a picture of a bronzed young Adonis stretched out on a bed on a beach. The packed six days of Paris shows are in stark contrast to London – which cancelled its men's shows completely – and the rather thinned-out line-up in Milan last week. Anderson's Dior debut Instead, the French capital will see a 'rather dense programme with big headliners including Jonathan Anderson', who will be making his highly anticipated debut at Dior, said Adrien Communier of French GQ magazine. The Northern Irish designer is the first to oversee both the men's, women's and haute couture lines at the fabled French house since its founder Christian Dior. In all, some 70 brands will unveil their latest looks across 40 runway shows and 30 presentations that end late Sunday with the French label Jacquemus. Anderson, the son of former Irish rugby captain Willie Anderson, who had previously turned around the rather fusty Spanish house Loewe, was named as the head of Dior's women's collection earlier this month, replacing the Italian Maria Grazia Chiuri. Belgian Julian Klausner, 33, who took over at Dries Van Noten in December, will also show his first men's collection for the label on Wednesday. Communier predicted the trend for stripes 'which we saw a lot in Milan is going to continue'. But with men's fashion becoming a 'little bit dull' in recent years, he said we 'really need to be surprised'.

Saint Laurent, Vuitton kick off menswear at Paris Fashion Week
A model presents a creation by Louis Vuitton for the Menswear Ready-to-wear Spring-Summer 2026 collection as part of Paris Fashion Week. (AFP pic) PARIS : Saint Laurent and Vuitton opened Paris Men's Fashion Week on Tuesday with collections tinged with retro influences, as the industry reels from the revolving door of creative directors and a diminished appetite for luxury goods. Saint Laurent kicked things off with a playful, spring-summer 2026 collection mixing shorts with strong shoulder pads, and rolled-up darted trousers with loose trench coats nonchalantly tied at the waist. Shorts, evoking those worn by the label's founder, Yves Saint Laurent, in his youth, were paired with bright and loose long-sleeved shirts and finished off with oversized sunglasses. The show marked Saint Laurent's official return to the fashion week fold after a two-and-a-half-year absence from the Paris men's fashion official calendar. Heads have been rolling across much of the luxury industry as bumper profits have evaporated, with brands grappling with a reduced appetite for luxury products. Saint Laurent's parent group Kering is no exception, with falling sales last year wiping 28 percent off its share price since the turn of the year. But shares shot back up 12% last week after former Renault boss Luca de Meo was named as Kering's new chief executive. Fashion buyer Alice Feillard of Galeries Lafayette, Europe's biggest department store chain, said the return of Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello to men's fashion week was 'rather a good thing', and would help reinforce the label's men's line. VIP-studded show Festivities continued Tuesday night in front of the Pompidou Centre modern art museum with Louis Vuitton artistic director Pharrell Williams hosting a VIP-studded event before the architectural icon closes for a major overhaul. The US singer and producer who got the world dancing to his infectious hit 'Happy', unveiled a quieter palette of earth tones, dusky pinks and rich browns, under the watchful eyes of US superstar Beyonce, music producer Jay-Z and film director Spike Lee. In a nod to the past, models wore shorts, and flared or cargo pants, paired with short-sleeved, unbuttoned shirts layered over retro white t-shirts. Models pushed large leather trunks adorned with a cartoonish safari print down the catwalk, echoing the fashion house's roots in luxury travel. Also at the show were US basketball legend LeBron James and San Antonio Spurs star Victor 'Wemby' Wembanyama from France, both ambassadors for the brand. Beachwear twist Founded in 2015 by Ryota Iwai, the Tokyo-based clothing brand – known for its meticulously crafted fabrics – revisited its traditional urban roots with a summery, beachwear twist. In the courtyard of Paris's Archives National, swimsuits, bucket hats and flip flops sat alongside light cashmere poplin suits, soft leather and light calf hair garments. 'There's a term in Japanese which means the winds of spring,' Iwai said after the show, describing the mixture of blue skies and strong winds that inspired this collection. 'In the same scene you'll have someone ready to go to the beach but then you'll have someone in a down jacket. That kind of odd balance is interesting,' he said. Anderson's Dior debut The packed six days of Paris shows are in stark contrast to London — which cancelled its men's shows completely — and the rather thinned-out line-up in Milan last week. The French capital will see a 'rather dense programme with big headliners including Jonathan Anderson', who will be making his highly anticipated debut at Dior on Friday, said Adrien Communier of French GQ magazine.

Colour and ease lift Paris Men's Fashion Week
PARIS, June 30 — Colours ran wild and silhouettes softened at Paris Men's Fashion Week, which ended yesterday, as designers brought a rare breath of fresh air to a gloomy fashion climate. Despite the heavy news cycle and economic turbulence affecting the luxury sector, this Fashion Week was a 'shot of creativity that felt incredibly good', Alice Feillard, men's buying director at Galeries Lafayette, told AFP. The spring-summer 2026 season 'is much more creative than the previous ones, which were a bit duller', said Adrien Communier, the fashion editor at GQ France. Both experts observed a more relaxed vibe, with Feillard pointing to 'good humour' and 'optimism', while Communier noted a 'lighter mood'. 'With so many debuts, there was a sense of renewal. And so, I found that people were more curious,' he added. After a notable women's show in March, Julian Klausner made waves Thursday with his first menswear show for Dries Van Noten, while Jonathan Anderson's long-awaited debut at Dior drew applause on Friday. A renewed burst of creativity lit up the runways, most visibly through bold colour choices. Brown tones and pastels made way for a richer, more saturated palette for next summer. Saint Laurent opened the week with violet, navy, orange and moss green, while Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton channelled Indian motifs and hues. Dries Van Noten made a splash with bold fuchsia and blood red, while Kenzo exploded with candy pink, aquatic blue and chick yellow. 'Nonchalant elegance' Dior Homme took a more restrained approach, showcasing rich tones like a deep forest green on structured pieces. The tones sometimes appeared as prints—tiger at Kenzo, childlike safari at Louis Vuitton and floral at Dior. At Comme des Garcons Plus, prints leaned into pop-style 1970s geometry—a look also seen at Amiri, Saint Laurent and Junya Watanabe, who embraced flared trousers. Stripes were ubiquitous but subtle, adding detail without overwhelming. Designers leaned into fluidity with flared trousers, long jackets, open shirts and an ongoing pyjama trend. 'There's a sort of nonchalant elegance in having a very fluid yet thoughtfully designed silhouette,' Communier said. Last season's neo-dandy look is now much more relaxed. 'Tailoring is still omnipresent in the collections, but it's becoming more fluid. There's still formality, but it's far more relaxed and remains very elegant,' said Feillard. Bags were omnipresent, from clutch to shoulder, styled for both casual outings and evening occasions. Finally, flip-flops made a major comeback, seen at Officine Generale, Auralee and even Hermes, 'worn in an almost formal way', said Communier. A perfect example of relaxed chic. — AFP
