Red Alert: The Dior timepiece with a sporty-meets-couture attitude
This year, the house of Dior is adding to the collection a trio of references with red fumé dials, gradients of scarlet and ebony on its signature quilted cannage pattern. There are two models sized at 38mm, one in full black diamond-like carbon-coated steel and one with an asymmetrical band of rose gold and black diamonds set into the bezel; and a 41mm chronograph powered by the prestigious Zenith El Primero movement.

As a symbol of Dior's take on masculine elegance on the wrist, each timepiece naturally comes embellished with house hallmarks: the micro- cannage pattern on interchangeable rubber straps, crown and chronograph pushers accented with a stripe of red, and a date window circled in red with the eighth day of the month—Monsieur Dior's auspicious number—in contrasting red.
The Vogue Man 2025 'Gold' issue is available online and at newsstands.

Red Alert: The Dior timepiece with a sporty-meets-couture attitude
Grey and pink, emblematic colours of the house of Dior, represent a powdery, almost pastel vision of elegance. What's perhaps lesser known is that scarlet—a piercing, powerful red—is one of the house's cherished colours too, a hue that Christian Dior once described as the 'colour of life'. Vitality and virility, these ideas fuel the Chiffre Rouge watch by Dior, first introduced in 2004 and revamped in 2024. This year, the house of Dior is adding to the collection a trio of references with red fumé dials, gradients of scarlet and ebony on its signature quilted cannage pattern. There are two models sized at 38mm, one in full black diamond-like carbon-coated steel and one with an asymmetrical band of rose gold and black diamonds set into the bezel; and a 41mm chronograph powered by the prestigious Zenith El Primero movement.

Spring/summer 2026 men's shows: The best beauty looks
This much is certain: the spring/summer 2026 men's shows have been a momentous affair. To kick things off, a plethora of exhilarating debuts from Vivienne Westwood's first standalone men's presentation since 2017 to Paris regular, Paul Smith, opting to show in Milan instead. And naturally, Jonathan Anderson for Dior, a highly-anticipated catwalk that comes after a trailblazing stint at Loewe. This year's iteration also marks the return of Saint Laurent as well as British designers Grace Wales Bonner and Craig Green, occurring in tandem with Dries Van Noten's creative director Julian Klausner's entrance into the menswear space. Bearing in mind all the excitement, it's safe to say that some key details have been overlooked and/or overshadowed—the most noteworthy of which being the stunning hair and make-up moments from the spring/summer 2026 men's runway. In any case, the Vogue Singapore beauty team is here to enlighten with a curation of the most head-turning looks. At Emporio Armani, gleaming gold and silver beads are woven through strands; a subtle and delicate touch that serves as the pitch-perfect complement to rich, heavy embroideries and lustrous textiles. Prada, on the other hand, leans into the notion of exhaustion core with delightfully mussed strands and prominent dark eye circles. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Spy our full edit of the most standout beauty moments from the spring/summer 2026 men's shows, below. IMAXTree 1 / 8 Emporio Armani A glowing, dewy complexion and a stellar bone structure is further accentuated with this sleek style which ingeniously incorporates minuscule hair beads to keep strands away from the face. IMAXTree 2 / 8 Prada Let it all show. At least, that's how they like it at Prada. Purple shadows and limp, dank strands are the epitome of chic this season. IMAXtree 3 / 8 Ami Paris At Ami Paris, an ode to summer arrives courtesy of vibrant, berry-bitten lips. All the better when offset with a matte finish, and a similarly shine-free complexion. IMAXtree 4 / 8 Songzio High gloss was clearly on the agenda at Songzio. The high points of models' faces reflect the light, whilst a subtle smattering of pale rose accentuates the cheekbones and mouth. IMAXTree 5 / 8 Dries Van Noten The spell of a summer night on the beach is captured in splayed, damp strands, softly-contoured cheeks and slightly pinked lips—mirroring the very essence of a collection that embraced nonchalant ease. iMAXtree 6 / 8 CamperLab For its debut runway show, CamperLab looked to club culture—where dim flashing lights accompanied a soundtrack by Pandora's Jukebox that had models embodying a sweaty, dishevelled demeanour—as if they haven't left the rave for days. Courtesy of Dior 7 / 8 Dior Take us back to 18th century France—when make-up on men was never out of place, never gendered. Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior referenced the time period in his 'replica' waistcoats, but infused a sense of today's boyish ease with it too: of ruddy cheeks, well-groomed brows and slightly-mussed hair. iMAXtree 8 / 8 Willy Chavarria Flashy as they came, hair was the name of the game at Willy Chavarria. Where copious and copious amounts of pomade held up the manes as if it was 1960.
