The cocktail dress included an exaggerated cinched waist, providing a striking proportional juxtaposition to the piece with an hourglass shape. The skirt of the dress further featured the embroidered detailing included on the bustline, along with Schiaparelli's iconic eye motifs throughout.
Sánchez's hair was pulled back with a few wisps to frame her face. She also wore a full face of makeup, including glossy lips and lined eyes. She wore a pair of statement stud earrings to complete her look, keeping the dress the focal point of her attire.
Sánchez's dress made its runway debut as part of Paris couture week last January. Daniel Roseberry, the creative director of Schiaparelli since 2019, took hourglass silhouettes to the extreme with his collection, curating designs of various proportions.
'He toyed with extreme volumes, with jackets with low orbital necklines exposing brassieres, exploding bustle backs and the impossibly small waistlines that have become de rigueur since Ozempic heralded a return of size 0 on the red carpet,' Joelle Diderich wrote in WWD's review of the collection.
Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos are hosting a grand wedding celebration in Venice, Italy, spanning multiple days and attracting worldwide attention along with a celebrity-filled guest list. Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Eva Longoria, Tom Brady, Katy Perry and Ivanka Trump, among others, are included on the wedding's guest list.

Two major events held in Minneapolis over the weekend
Two major celebrations and a half-million visitors are taking place across Minneapolis. Twin Cities Pride and Somali Independence Day are bringing an air of celebration to the city. "The energy is incredible. Everyone's happy to be here. Everybody's celebrating each other," said Sophia Turner of Minneapolis. "We want people to understand who we are," said Ayub Hassan, who attended Somali Day as the owner of Blue Horn Somali Tea. "What we're highlighting is our freedom." Somali Day commemorates the country's separation from colonial rule in 1960. Both events combined brought roughly over 500,000 individuals to Minneapolis that's roughly the population of Wyoming. "Everyone can be themselves; if you're an ally or part of the LGBTQIA+ community," said Pritchard. "The community we're celebrating can be at a disadvantage, so it's important," said Turner. With both events going, safety is a high priority. Metro Transit even expanded services and offering free rides throughout the weekend of the festivities. "Happy Pride!" said Turner. "Happy Somali Independence Day!" said Iqra Mohamed of Minneapolis. Minnetrista resident Mike Schoeneman brought his girls to both events. "To celebrate the cultures and everything and to show my girls the differences too," said Schueneman. Pride continues on Sunday, June 29 with a parade starting at 11 a.m.

Christopher Esber Resort 2026 Collection
In a season brimming with 'reinvented classics,' Christopher Esber said he wanted to bring a little whimsy to his resort collection through draping and sculpting rather than just cutting fabric away. 'This collection is really about fantasy meets function,' the designer said in a Zoom interview from his studio in Sydney. 'In my mind, I kept playing back the idea of escaping, of desert horizons, sunbaked highways and bringing in more textiles and colors that speak to that landscape.' It's been almost 35 years since Thelma & Louise just kept on driving, but for Esber that feminist classic was top of mind. Did that mean he, too, would make a run for it? Definitely not, the designer said. 'I just really connected with that spirit of changing things up and forging your own way.' Part of the process was giving himself the freedom to revisit and refine things that perhaps aren't considered cool anymore, he said, like an aged stripe or a snip of lace encrusted unevenly on a yellow top or inserted on a green dress. The goal was to strike a balance between retro and contemporary aesthetics. An out-of-character garment, for example, can sometimes turn out to be a perfect fit. One can well imagine the mileage fans could get from some of these pieces, like a sporty coffee-colored bomber, a billowy trench with a patterned green lining, or tailored jeans spliced with suede. The designer smartly developed some ensembles that can be either attached as a complete silhouette or worn separately; in that vein, an asymmetrical chocolate top and grape-colored skirt looked strong. Esber has long married various materials in odd-couple ways; this season that included scalloping suede or jersey with lace; transposing python effects into exotic-looking prints and superfine knits; a silver coil on a dress or bag; or a necktie spooled into a halter top. The idea of shredded snakeskin appeared on a georgette dress intricately cut to show some flesh yet 'hit in all the right places,' the designer said. That was one of a few numbers that were definitely for those who dress like they've got nothing to hide. Not every experiment landed, but there were plenty of the kind of sexy, sinuous—and commercial—clothes here to keep Esber's base coming back for more, whether they are hitting the road for real or only in spirit.

Reese Cooper Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
At 27, Reese Cooper has officially entered that stage in life where he needs to be ready for the wedding circuit. But when his cousin tied the knot in South Carolina recently, he found himself in the ironic position, after nearly a decade of designing, of having to hit a 'mass-pirational' retailer for a last-minute suit on his way to the airport. 'I was like, 'This is ridiculous, I need to fix that,'' the designer recalled in a showroom in the Upper Marais where both his namesake menswear collection and his lighter-priced RCOS line were on display. For spring, Cooper set about recalibrating outdoorsy California casual with a more mature, tailored, and mostly unisex offer that will easily pass muster in more elevated settings while still retaining sporty touches. Ripstop cords cinched the waist on blazers, a trench and a Harrington jacket in nylon; oversized cargo pockets gave button-downs or a printed poncho a fresh functionality, yet also looked crisp and sophisticated on a black, white and red houndstooth. As ever, his signature carabiner, a piece custom-designed by a former aerospace engineer befriended over Instagram, provided a throughline. Of his process, the designer explained, 'My favorite thing personally is to take something that you would traditionally find, then take the right thing and put it in the wrong place or the other way around.' Not that anything looked out of place here. Last Tuesday, Cooper's posse of chosen family, among them the stylist Savannah White, traveled with him an hour north of L.A. to the Angeles National Forest. There, his models posed on a rock in the San Gabriel River, in a location the designer had discovered on a hike. In a telling detail, he shot this lookbook with a thumbs-up from his friends over at the local Forest Service (look for new developments in that budding relationship next season). It speaks volumes about Cooper's interest in building on community, a philosophy he absorbed from Virgil Abloh. "If you're doing something fun that people want to be around, that should be the focus," he said. One doesn't often hear that during the fashion week swirl. Let's see where that takes him next.
