Wales Bonner SS26 Celebrates 10th Anniversary With 'Superfine' Sentiments
AsGrace Wales Bonnermarks 10 years in business, the British designer presented her SS26 collection, 'Jewel,' within the historic walls of an 18th-century Parisian library. The simple title is meant to evoke the objects we treasure — timeworn garments, family heirlooms, inherited jewelry, or perhaps, your most prized possessions. Executed with restraint and beauty, her latest work draws on both her modern multiculturalism and the opulent British sartorial tradition of the 20th century. The resulting collection aligns with the well-fitting theme of the2025 Met Gala, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which the designer explored as an official host committee member. Echoes of her Met carpet designs forLewis Hamilton,FKA Twigs, and others are present with recurring details like tipped berets, jeweled brooches, and scalloped embellishments evocative of the Art Deco style. Despite the elegant touches of evening wear inspiration, these looks are less likely to be seen on the Met steps, appearing with an ease and naturalism suited for everyday wear. Jermyn Street-style shirting is worn open-chested or with a popped collar; various tops are layered under jackets with their sleeves pulled up. Elsewhere, patchwork denim and tracksuit bottoms ground more sartorial sensibilities in the present day, and dress shorts sit high above the knee. Standing out as one of the most formal looks is a collaboration with Savile Row tailors Anderson & Sheppard, manifesting in a cream-colored wool and silk tailcoat worn with high-waisted evening trousers. However, Wales Bonner offers balance to these elevated moments through a new collaboration withadidasandYohji Yamamoto'sY-3, including a souvenir jacket, technical trousers, and a new iteration of the Y-3 field shoe. See the gallery above for a full look at the collection, and stay tuned to Hypebeast for the latest fashion insights.

On & New Balance's Latest Drops Are Giving Dancing On Clouds Vibes & We're Here For It!
Some shoes are designed to be the pinnacle of fashion, while others are made for peak performance. The best kicks though, are the ones that marry both. If you want to know what walking on clouds feels like – while looking like a cloud-hopping deity – then these new drops from New Balance and On have gotchu. Cloud x FKA Shoe To create an enthralling tribute to mixed-movement mediums and the beauty of defying conventional shoe designs, FKA Twigs initially collaborated with On on the captivating 'The Body Is Art' campaign. The pair are now building on that idea by examining freedom of movement and launching their first-ever full-length collection that includes both clothing and shoes. The collection's pieces and the Jordan Hemingway-shot campaign are enhanced by additional surreal moving images by Zeel Free. Both highlight fluidity and versatility, drawing heavily from Twigs' versatility as an artist and performer. The Cloud x FKA shoe was inspired by dancing. The sleek, light trainer, which is made of woven material with a satin feel, embodies a dance-inspired design. Regarding clothing, the pair offers a collection of athletic pieces in muted hues, including sports bras, cropped hoodies, and track jackets and skorts. The Spring/Summer 2025 On by FKA Twigs capsule collection will be sold on On's official website beginning 26th June, with standard pricing to follow. New Balance ABZORB 2000 'Blue/Grey' After the first sneak peek of the New Balance 2000 ABZORB appeared online earlier this February, when Sao Paolo-based stylist Gustavo Soares shared the retro-futuristic silhouette in a baby blue hue, another colourway emerged. Later this year, New Balance is anticipated to release the 2000 model, which updates the shoe's appearance by fusing modern inspirations with the running shoe style of the early 2000s. This new colourway comes in a light blue upper that contrasts with the gradient grey tones used throughout. It features a streamlined upper silhouette with a breathable mesh upper and synthetic overlays. Along with the grey tints on the insole and 'N' branding, the silver accents on the eyelets, overlays, and full-length ABZORB cushioning system give the shoe a more futuristic appearance. The New Balance ABZORB 2000 'Blue/Grey' is slowly hitting shelves as well as the official website. You can snag a pair for US$170 (~RM727). What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0

Shia LaBeouf assaults his own acting students in new documentary
Shia LaBeouf, the American actor, stars in a documentary at the Cannes Film Festival in which he appears to physically assault his own acting students. LaBeouf, best known for his roles in Indiana Jones and Transformers, has a controversial reputation for his alleged abuse of past romantic partners. He is currently facing a lawsuit filed by singer and former girlfriend, FKA Twigs, who has accused him of 'relentless abuse'. LaBeouf has now attended Cannes for the premiere of a documentary that appears to capture him bullying and manhandling young acting students. His attendance on the Riviera comes after the event organiser pledged to stamp out the threat of abuse at the festival. The documentary is titled Slauson Rec, and follows LaBeouf's leadership of acting masterclasses held at Slauson Recreation Centre in Los Angeles between 2018 and late 2020. The film appears to show LaBeouf, now 38, berating his young students as he tries to have them stage an avant-garde play he dashed off in a matter of weeks. LaBeouf is shown grabbing one student violently enough to leave a scratch on his ribs and armpit, and in another incident he is shown pushing an actor against a wall for failing to giggle correctly. He is also shown frequently screaming at his students, and publicly sacking an aspiring actress whose mother has just died. The documentary by filmmaker Leo Lewis O'Neil featured at Cannes, where LaBeouf discussed his own personality issues. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at a screening of the film, he said he was 'disgusted' by his own behaviour. He added that he had 'one horrible s--- in the past that I'm going to have to make amends for the rest of my life'. LaBeouf faces a scheduled trial following the lawsuit filed by Twigs in September. When Twigs first brought her lawsuit, LaBeouf's legal team said the star denied 'each and every allegation' against him. These include waking her up by choking, grabbing her hard enough to cause bruising, and at one stage threatening to crash a car he was driving unless she said she loved him. A former child actor, LaBeouf became an international star at the age of 20 following his starring role in the 2007 film Transformers. He became known for bizarre stunts, including walking the Cannes red carpet with a paper bag on his head, spending 24 hours in a lift as part of a performance art piece, and copying the words of other celebrities during interviews. He has been arrested several times, including at a New York's Studio 54 in 2014, and in 2017 after subjecting police to a drunken rant, which he called 'a new low'. The star recently sought to change course with the help of religion. In 2023, LaBeouf embarked on a 'spiritual journey', converting to Catholicism after working on a film about Padre Pio, the Italian stigmata sufferer and holy man. Friars in the US who prepared the star for the role of Pio announced the news, and claimed that the actor also wished to become a deacon, a role intended to assist parish priests. A statement released by the Capuchin Friars of the Western America Province said: 'We are thrilled to share that our dear friend Shia LaBeouf has fully entered the Church this past weekend through the sacrament of confirmation.'
