What's summer without a fresh new fragrance? To mark the season, Her Highness Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi recently unveiled the latest chapter of her mythic luxury venture, Inanna Reborn, a selection of thoughtfully body mists. Unveiled during an intimate evening at the sprawling Bait Elowal in Sharjah, the Mists collection invited wearers into a sensory world shaped by ritual, memory and Arabian heritage.

We may be in the peak of summer, but vampire girl make-up is very much out of the shadows. Once reserved for Halloween tutorials, the look has evolved into one of beauty’s most mysterious and magnetic runway trends, merging romance and danger into a single haunting aesthetic. Think glassy pale skin, bruised plum eyes, blurred berry lips and an overall mood that feels somewhere between Victorian heroine and modern-day femme fatale.

Last night, all eyes were on the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where the 2026 edition of much-loved Met Gala took place. This year's theme, “Costume Art”, gave guests a free hand in creativity and allowed them to go all-out with their red carpet looks. But where's the fun in a gorgeous ensemble without the right glam? In true Hollywood style, this year's guest list accentuated each carefully planned couture look with stunning beauty and hair.
