Good catch! Vogue's edit of marine-inspired sea jewellery
High jewellery creations like those lead the way creatively, but there is certainly also a wealth of alternative options out there. These run the gamut from fine jewels in precious materials, like Tiffany & Co.'s Titan line designed by Pharrell Williams. Set with lustrous black Tahitian pearls and spiked gold designed like the tines of Poseidon's trident, it makes its references graphically and subtly.
Fred, a maison that loves the sun and sea, has also built on its sailing cable collection—distilling its signature design elements into glamorous built-in stacks in the Force 10 Rise. Nautical and imbued with the spirit of the sea, yet designed with a modern subtlety that makes it easy to wear.
Cute motifs like seashells and little fish, meanwhile, offer an easy way into the trend. A piece in a bigger size makes a fabulous, summery statement which can be paired with daintier everyday jewellery. Goossens, the Parisian maison des métiers d'art that crafts fantasy bijoux for Chanel, has a playful jewelled seashell minaudière out this summer that's as pretty as it is handy.

It comes in waves: Tiffany & Co.'s Blue Book 2025 looks to the sea
The depths of the sea contain a multitude of mysteries. It was a source of fascination for Jean Schlumberger, the late great Tiffany & Co. designer, whose aesthetic and outlook on design continues to influence the American jewellery brand. This year, the brand is dedicating its Blue Book collection of high jewellery to the theme of a Sea of Wonder. The collection's spring chapter was introduced in New York in April, with a summer chapter to follow. In its first outing, Tiffany & Co. explored ideas such as oceanic flora and plants, imagery of seahorses, sea turtles, sea urchins and starfish inspired by archival Schlumberger designs, and waves. Nathalie Verdeille, the chief artistic officer of jewellery and high jewellery, said in press notes that these creations weave a story of oceanic wonder, while also exemplifying Tiffany & Co.'s love of pushing the boundaries on creativity and savoir faire. 'Drawing inspiration from Jean Schlumberger's fascination with the sea, our house's pioneering spirit endures, driving us to reinvent archival inspirations from a modern perspective.'

Ocean Flora ring in white gold, set with a cushion-cut 16.5-carat Type IIa DIF diamond, and with diamonds Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Tiffany & Co.'s deep sea story opens with the Ocean Flora jewels, in which marine plants bloom and sway in an undersea garden. A necklace, earring and ring parure is set with verdant Zambian emeralds, while a set of diamond-forward jewels have gemstones mounted on delicate tendrils that suggest movement. A noteworthy standout: a ring set with a Type IIa DIF cushion-cut diamond weighing over 16.5 carats, so substantial that even its setting prongs are pavéd. From flora to fauna, the collection moves into sea creatures touched by the influences of Schlumberger's style. Verdeille, who joined Tiffany & Co. in 2021, has proven a deft interpreter of the late French designer's archives. Her creations draw from the past, then depart in a modern way to create a whimsical style that is distinctly Tiffany.

Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. The Seahorse chapter, for instance, closely references Schlumberger's brooches from 1968. Verdeille, however, has introduced unusual gemstones and colours to create an enthralling palette. Blue zircons—an undersung coloured gemstone and not at all the same as cubic zirconia—are the star in this chapter. They bring a gentle undertone of colour with a bright sparkle, contrasted with the intensity of sapphire cabochons and accented with opalescent carved fluted moonstones. The Starfish jewels reference a 1956 Schlumberger design, reimagined as tendrilled, textured sea creatures set with Mozambique rubies. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Starfish ring in platinum and yellow gold, set with a cushion-cut unenhanced Mozambique ruby of over 6 carats, and with rose- and brilliant-cut diamonds. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. In the Starfish designs, these aquatic creatures are realised with naturalistic curves. Their tough and spiny exteriors are evoked with brilliant- and rose-cut diamonds, the former to bring sparkling light and the latter for a softer, geometric diffusion. The centres of these starfish are set with unenhanced rubies that, according to chief gemologist Victoria Reynolds, 'possess this gemstone's most sought-after qualities: a strongly saturated red colour with a splash of fluorescences that is further enhanced by their high clarity'. Urchin necklace in platinum and yellow gold, set with a step-cut Fancy Intense Yellow diamond of over 18 carats, with yellow and white diamonds. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Sea urchins, meanwhile, visit Schlumberger's favoured palette of white and yellow. Here, it's realised as a suite of incredible yellow diamond jewels that incorporate the designer's signature rope motifs in gold to create texture. This chapter also sees the high jewellery revival of Schlumberger's famed paillonné enamel bracelets, which were a favourite of patrons like Jackie Kennedy and Bunny Mellon. Wave earrings and necklace in white and yellow gold, set with an enchanting array of blue and green cuprian elbaite tourmalines. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Tiffany & Co.'s spring chapter of Sea of Wonder closes on the theme of Waves. Imagine the ever-changing forms of moving water, and the ways that light can play with colours and reflections. That will explain, then, the incredible range of cuprian elbaite tourmalines—and a Paraíba tourmaline on a cocktail ring—set into this suite of jewels that gives it an entrancing lagoon colour. The movements of water, meanwhile, are achieved with graphic rows of diamonds that curve their own way, rather like a wave that has broken and made a splash. Vogue Singapore's June 2025 'Gold' issue is available on newsstands and online.

‘I see you, Eiffel you': Police car blares Titanic song while cruising flood-hit Parisian street
Two people, including a child, died in a violent storm that lashed France on June 25. PHOTO: AFP 'I see you, Eiffel you': Police car blares Titanic song while cruising flood-hit Parisian street A French policeman cruised along a flooded Parisian street on June 26 with, appropriately enough, Celine Dion's iconic song from the movie Titanic – My Heart Will Go On – on full blast. A clip on TikTok shows the police cruiser moving through a street in Paris in ankle-deep floodwaters playing My Heart Will Go On at full volume through its mounted bullhorns. And, no, it did not hit a rock. The video has been 'liked' close to 500,000 times on the TikTok page of social media trends aggregator Brut, and reposted by several news outlets. My Heart Will Go On is the song most associated with the 1997 movie Titanic, which grossed over US$2.2 billion (S$2.8 billion) worldwide. It plays in the pivotal scene when the two lead characters, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, stood at the bow of the Titanic, with their arms outstretched and DiCaprio shouting: 'I'm the King of the World!' The real Titanic sank shortly after it hit an iceberg on April 14, 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean . 'Clearly, the cops were channelling the doomed ship itself, slowly rolling through the Paris floodwaters like the Titanic in the North Atlantic… all to break the ice and lift spirits,' said the entertainment site TMZ. 'This wasn't some subtle moment either,' it added. 'That 'Titanic' tune was blaring loud and proud, sending a clear message: When life floods your streets, throw on Celine and keep on cruisin'.' Nearly all who saw the clip found it funny. 'It's nice to see the French still have a sense of humour,' said a Reddit user . 'Savage,' commented another Reddit user. 'So unserious, I love it,' said a TikTok user. There were the inevitable Titanic references. 'Come back, come back,' said one on TikTok, referring to a plea for rescue from the character played by Winslet in the closing minutes of the movie. 'Every night in my dreams, I see you, Eiffel you,' said a TikTok user . Another said: 'Did they yell out over the speaker: Helloooo! Is anyone alive out there??? Can anybody hear me????' There were the subtly sexy takes. 'Draw me like one of your French cops,' said one. And there was the near universal opinion that this was exactly the kind of humour France needed after a particularly harrowing day. 'That's the right mood to face that situation,' said a commenter on TikTok. Another said: 'I'm loving how unserious the world is now. This is heartwarming.' Two people, including a child, died in a violent storm that lashed France on June 25. The violent downpour injured 17 others, one seriously. In southern France, a falling tree killed a 12-year-old boy, while a man on a quad bike died after crashing into a tree that had been brought down by the storm. In Paris, the sky turned an eerie yellow hue as lightning flashed above the city and fierce winds sent Parisians rushing for cover. The storms followed a sweltering heatwave with temperatures passing 35 deg C. It brought gusts of wind exceeding 100kmh, which damaged property. Nearly 100,000 homes were still left without electricity on June 26, mainly in central France. Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

The best street style from the Paris men's spring/summer 2026 shows
Runway devotees, rejoice—menswear season is upon us. Following the undeniable high of the Milan men's fashion week last week, it's finally the French capital's turn to shine. As fashion insiders, designers, and a constellation of A-list stars flood Paris for the men's 2026 spring/summer shows, its streets are transformed into a living runway. Inaugurating the season was Saint Laurent, as creative director Anthony Vaccarello took over the Bourse de commerce with a collection brimming with pastels and this season's penchant for legs. Never one to miss an opportunity to integrate music, art, and style, Pharrell Williams presented his sixth collection for Louis Vuitton in collaboration with Studio Mumbai, led by architect Bijoy Jain, atop a massive wooden runway inspired by the ancient Indian game of Snakes and Ladders. Set against the architectural backdrop of the Place Georges-Pompidou, the collection draws inspiration from India's rich cultural tapestry, blending artisanal finesse with sun-drenched luxury. From pleated trousers, striped coats, and embellished workwear to bags and jeans decorated with elephants and palm trees, the collection took us on a sensory journey through India. To amplify the experience, the show's star-studded soundtrack—which featured the likes of A. R. Rahman, Clipse, Doechii, and Tyler, the Creator—was also composed by Williams himself, where he made sure to showcase his love for music and fashion. With day one done and dusted, there's plenty more to come—with the likes of Dries Van Noten, Jacquemus, and Kenzo set to present their menswear collections over the next few days. Not to forget the highly anticipated Dior men's show, which marks Jonathan Anderson's debut collection after being appointed as the creative director for the maison. And what would fashion week be without its equally glossy street style? Attendees have been putting their very best forward despite the sweltering Parisian heat. Think denim co-ord sets, along with eye-catching printed tops and hats. It's no surprise, however, that some of our favourite A-listers have also been spotted like Beyonce, J-Hope, Spike Lee, BamBam and more. Below, scroll through some of the best street style from the spring/summer 2026 shows of Paris men's fashion week, as photographed by Phil Oh.
