Beauty and Fashion News for April
Miu Miu taps Gigi Hadid for 2026 Leather Goods campaign
Miu Miu’s latest leather goods campaign unfolds like a gentle rebellion against tradition. Photographed by Steven Meisel, Gigi Hadid—who has fronted the campaign four years in a row—plays the role of a modern heroine inhabiting a prim, bourgeois apartment, only to subtly disrupt it with her own poised insouciance. There’s a youthful irreverence in the imagery as she shifts between introspection and mischief, turning stillness into something livelier.
The brand’s signature Arcadie and Wander bags, rendered in matelassé leather, take centre stage in punchy and polished hues, their soft structure designed to move with the body. It’s a study in contrast, where polish meets play and heritage meets modern liberty. Proof that confidence and individuality are always the ultimate accessories.

CHANEL names Pedro Pascal as its new leading man
We can never get enough of Pedro Pascal, and the fashion world has also caught onto his charm, as Chanel officially appoints the actor as House ambassador. Known for effortlessly moving between blockbuster franchises and critically acclaimed dramas, Pascal brings a distinctly human charisma to everything he touches, and his red carpet appearances are always a highlight of any Hollywood event.
After attending the Spring/Summer 2026 show at the Grand Palais—the first under Creative Director Matthieu Blazy—and attending the Oscars in Chanel, the partnership now formalises what already felt like a natural alignment. With his thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, and irreverent spirit, this partnership feels truly aligned.
The AO enters a new era with BOSS
When BOSS announced its role as Official Lifestyle Outfitter of the Australian Open from 2027, it signalled more than a sponsorship, but a deliberate step into a major cultural arena. Tennis has long been intertwined with fashion, but this partnership taps into the sport’s renewed global energy and its increasingly style-conscious audience.
The scale alone is impressive, with up to 4,000 staff, officials and ball kids dressed in the brand’s signature tailoring-inspired uniforms, creating a cohesive visual identity across Melbourne Park. Expect clean lines, refined palettes and fabrics engineered to withstand the Aussie summer. It’s a move that positions BOSS squarely at the intersection of sport and lifestyle, where performance and presentation serve equal weight.

Frank Green X LANEIGE
Amid all the opinions of experts, influencers, and everyone else in between we’re exposed to regularly, hydration is a universally praised hero. And with their renewed collaboration, Frank Green and Laneige lean fully into this. After their first partnership sold out in just 36 hours, the duo returns with three new shades of Frank Green’s ceramic reusable bottle, each designed to mirror the glossy finish of Laneige’s cult-favourite lip serums.
It’s the small luxuries that punctuate ordinary routines, and by bringing the two together, the cult favourite brands tap into a broader shift towards beauty that extends beyond the bathroom shelf and into everyday life.

CELINE elevates the humble lip balm
Trust Celine to turn the humble lip balm into something nearing jewellery. The latest addition to the Le Rouge Celine collection introduces eight matte-finish balms this month, including one universal and seven softly tinted shades.
Designed to deliver hydration with a barely-there veil, it offers a perfectly natural, subtly blurred colour. In fact, during some recent travel, this balm and some SPF were all I needed to carry day to day.
The formula itself blends natural-origin ingredients with black rose oil and hyaluronic acid for comfort and moisture, just as the weather begins to cause some cracks. Housed in a faceted, refillable silver case embossed with the Maison’s Triomphe emblem, the balm also feels less like a cosmetic and more like a keepsake—and easy to spot in your bag!

Lucy Folk delivers a sensory journey with ‘Languages’
Lucy Folk’s latest collection feels almost spiritual in its intent, exploring language as something felt rather than spoken.
Drawing on the four elements—Earth, Air, Fire and Water—the pieces centre on radiant gold, shaped to move with the body and respond to touch. In every detail, there’s the brand’s signature sense of joyful magnetism, charmingly brought to life by its own store community starring as campaign faces.

Bon Elliot has officially entered the skincare arena
Newcomer Bon Elliott has arrived with a proposition: luxury skincare grounded in dermatological precision.
Founded by Sydney-based, board-certified dermatologist Dr Bonnie Fergie alongside a family team spanning Sydney and New York, the brand blends the clinical science we need with the modern minimalism we crave. Its debut product, the Hydrating Performance Serum, centres on the patent-pending AMBR Complex™—a luxurious blend of pre- and probiotics, ceramides and antioxidants designed to rebalance the skin’s microbiome and strengthen the barrier.
The result is skincare that prioritises long-term function over quick fixes, delivering hydration, luminosity and resilience in considered steps.

Tod’s unveils its new Sydney destination
Italian craftsmanship has a new outpost, as Tod’s reopens its Westfield Sydney boutique with a luxurious new concept that leans into the brand’s signature Italian sensibility. Spanning over 130 square metres on level four, the space pairs Travertino marble with warm wood and soft leather finishes, evoking the intimacy of a refined home.
Alongside Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear, icons like the Gommino loafers and T Timeless bag anchor the offering for new and loyal customers alike.
