1. Gonzalo Lebrija’s x Post Malone

@postmalone sixth album, F-1 Trillion, just got a cosmic lift thanks to the wild imagination of Mexican artist Gonzalo Lebrija. Known for his cheeky yet profound explorations of time, Lebrija stages a 1971 Ford F100 plunging from the heavens over Jalisco’s Salto del Nogal Dam. It’s a nod to his earlier work, As Time Goes By, but with a rockstar twist. The cover perfectly captures Lebrija’s flair for turning moments of suspense into suspenseful, surreal statements—#theskysthelimit

2. Sarah Burton takes the helm at Givenchy

Sarah Burton, fresh off her departure from Alexander McQueen after a 26-year run, is the new creative director at Givenchy, LVMH just announced. Known for her visionary leadership, Burton will steer the creative direction for both women’s and men’s collections, effective immediately.

3. Tea-riffic art: Bvlgari Hotels x Hannah Lim

Bvlgari Hotels stirs up something special with sculptural artist Hannah Lim, crafting an afternoon tea that’s a feast for both the eyes and taste buds. Lim puts her playful twist on everything, from designing menus and napkins to styling the window decor. But the real treat? Pastries inspired by her favourite flavours, like pandan and black sesame, capture her trendy palette. Prepare to sip, snack, and savour the art of tea in style #teatime 🫖

4. Sabrina Carpenter takes VMAs to outer space

The Sabrina Carpenter summer isn’t over! After paying tribute to Madonna in a vintage 1991 Oscars gown accessorised with glistening De Beers jewels on the VMA’s red carpet, Carpenter hit the stage for a cosmic medley of “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Taste.” Kicking off her set with a swing beside a giant Moon Person, she flew down to share a smooch with a couture-dressed blue alien, leaving the crowd in awe. Surrounded by astronauts, she closed with her hit “Espresso” in true out-of-this-world style 👽
