Can we talk about 'Wednesday' for a sec? The gothic school uniform revival is everywhere now, thanks to Jenna Ortega. That striped collar, the peter pan details—it’s like if 'Addams Family' met 'Dead Poets Society.' And the way she pairs it with chunky boots and deadpan expressions? Iconic. Even the side characters, like Enid’s pastel grunge, add this fun contrast. It’s a masterclass in how a single show can redefine a subculture’s aesthetic overnight.
What’s fascinating to me is how 'Succession' uses fashion as a silent power play. The Roy siblings are always in these sleek, expensive-but-understated outfits. Kendall’s minimalist hoodies and tailored coats scream 'tech billionaire,' while Shiv’s crisp blazers and neutral tones are all corporate dominance. Even Logan’s rumpled suits feel intentional—like he doesn’t need to try because he’s already won. The show’s costume designer once said they avoid patterns to keep the focus on the characters’ faces during close-ups, which is such a subtle, genius detail.
I’ve been obsessing over the practicality-meets-style in 'The Last of Us.' Ellie’s layered looks—flannel, hoodies, that iconic backpack—feel so lived-in and real for a post-apocalyptic world. It’s not about glamour; it’s about survival, but somehow, it still looks cool. Joel’s rugged jackets and boots have this timeless, dad-core vibe that’s weirdly appealing. And the way the costumes show wear and tear? Chef’s kiss. It makes the world feel tangible, like these clothes have history.
Fashion in TV shows has always been a huge conversation starter, and lately, I can't get enough of how costume designers are blending nostalgia with modern twists. Take 'Euphoria' for example—it's like a neon-drenched fever dream where every outfit tells a story. The glitter, the bold colors, the mix of streetwear and high fashion... it’s chaotic but intentional. Even the quieter looks, like Jules’ delicate pastels or Rue’s oversized hoodies, feel like extensions of their personalities.
Then there's 'Bridgerton,' which is basically a Regency-era runway show. The corsets, the pastel gowns, the sheer amount of fabric—it’s all so opulent. But what’s cool is how they’ve subtly modernized the silhouettes and colors to make it feel fresh. Like Daphne’s baby-blue dresses with that slightly looser fit, or Penelope’s transformation from frumpy to fierce. It’s not just about looking pretty; it’s about power and status, and the costumes nail that.

When I head over to my daughter, Hannah Westfield's place for dinner during Christmas Eve, I specifically wear a wool coat for the occasion.
Unexpectedly, when Hannah sees me, she pushes me out of the front door instantly.
"Mom, why must you buy the same coat as my mother-in-law did? Don't you know that she hates it when others imitate her? Hurry up and take off the coat before she sees you!"
Meanwhile, my son-in-law, Thomas Clifford, digs out an old coat and puts it on me.
"Mom, there are many relatives visiting our house today. Please spare my mom her pride and don't steal her thunder, okay?"
Seeing how sincere Thomas looks, I decide to yield.
But as soon as I take my seat, Giselle Johnson chortles in amusement as she stares at the old coat I'm wearing.
"Oh Fiona, if you like my clothes, you could've just said so, and I'd give it to you. It's bad if you just steal my old coat from me and wear it, you know? Besides, don't you know that those who imitate always do a bad job at it?"
Furious, I'm about to up and leave when Giselle grabs the coat and blocks my way.
"I placed two money envelopes in the coat pockets a few days ago. There are 20 thousand dollars in there. Why are they gone after you've worn it?
"I don't mind you wearing my coat behind my back, but you must return the money to me right now!"
On the flight to Arlencia, a post popped up: [What's it like to have sex in a wedding dress?]
The pic showed a girl yanking some guy's purple tie while he hiked up her gown. His face was blurred, but hers? Straight-up blissed out.
Everyone in the comments was swooning over how in love they looked.
I didn't swoon. I froze.
Because that purple tie? I gave it to Zeke Santoro, my fiancé, a few days ago.
And that wedding dress? The exact custom one he had made for me. There was only one.
I kept zooming in, heart racing, until I spotted a family photo in the background.
My hands were shaking when I called him.
"I wanna see the dress," I said.
He hesitated. "It's at the studio getting final touches. Not with me right now. I'll show it to you later."
I just smiled and hung up.
That was all I needed. Zeke cheated—and the girl? His stepsister, Jella.
Total circus.
I reopened the post and shot her a DM: [Your wedding dress is stunning. I have the same one.]
Emily’s world wasn’t just broken. It was strategically dismantled.
Three years of love. One devastating betrayal. A single moment that would leave a scar forever. The day Emily caught her boyfriend Jaden and her best friend Mika tangled in bed, something inside her died.
2 years later, she has worked to be everything Jaden said she could never be— a star actress, loved by many.
As Emily climbs the treacherous ladder of the entertainment industry, her betrayers return with a sinister plan. Mika, consumed by jealousy, doesn’t just want to compete – she wants to annihilate. Even if it meant becoming an actress herself. And Jaden? He’s the perfect weapon in her arsenal.
But in the entertainment industry, Power surpasses power. And there he was, Noah.
Noah. The king of the entertainment industry. Feared by many and had the lives of many wrapped around his fingers. He met Emily 2 years ago for the first time, snot mixing with tears, her broken glasses sliding down her face- she kept screaming at him “You can’t die! Not today!”. She saved him, and he owes his life to her.
But now, she doesn’t remember him. Also she has changed. She almost looked nothing like the ugly woman he saw that night— Mascara streaking down her blotchy cheeks, glasses bent and crooked, hair disheveled, looking utterly destroyed, a walking catastrophe of raw, ugly pain, far from what he was seeing now— who is this woman?
This isn’t a love story. This is a war. And Emily? She’s the prey. Would Noah be her Prince Charming that saves her?

Lately, I've been totally vibing with the 'quiet luxury' trend—think minimalist elegance with a twist. My go-to has been this oversized cream-colored blazer paired with tailored wide-leg trousers; it’s like effortless sophistication meets comfort. I stumbled on the look after binge-watching 'Succession' and noticing how the Roy siblings nailed that understated rich aesthetic. Accessories? A chunky gold chain necklace for a bit of edge, and loafers so broken-in they feel like slippers.
The fun part is mixing high-end thrift finds with basics—like a vintage silk scarf knotted over a plain white tee. It’s crazy how small details elevate everything. Oh, and I’m obsessed with earthy tones lately—taupe, olive, burnt sienna—it feels like wearing autumn all year round. Sometimes I throw in a pop of color with cherry-red socks just to keep things playful.
