The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off across the United States, Canada, and Mexico in just a few weeks, bringing together 48 nations in the tournament's largest edition to date. Switzerland is among them, and Swiss watch brand Norqain, which holds an official watch licensing partnership with the Swiss national football teams, has marked the occasion with a limited edition chronograph that went through an unusually direct design process.

When Breguet introduced the Tradition collection in 2005, the premise was straightforward: invert the movement so that its architecture faces the wearer rather than the watchmaker. The bridges, mainplate, barrel, and gear train, elements that conventional watchmaking keeps out of sight beneath the dial, became the visual substance of the watch. An off-center time display at 12 o'clock sat within that mechanical landscape rather than over it.

Color Blossom has been in Louis Vuitton’s jewelry collection for more than 10 years. Over the years, the collection has become one of the more quietly persistent signatures in the Maison’s fine jewelry range, revolving around the four-petal flower that appears in the house’s monogram next to a four-point star and a four-point star set in a diamond.

Royal Pop Audemars Piguet and Swatch have launched the Royal Pop, a collection of eight bioceramic pocket watches that merges the design language of Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak with the modular ingenuity of Swatch's POP line from the 1980s. The collection launched on May 16th. The POP system, which long-term Swatch followers will recognize, allows the watch to move between different wearing configurations, including lanyard, wrist-mounted straps, and potentially bag charms, g

The lariat is one of jewelry's oldest silhouettes. A single continuous chain that loops through itself, falls in two strands, and terminates in a drop, it has existed in various forms since the 19th century and has been interpreted and reinterpreted so many times across the history of fine jewelry that finding something genuinely new to say with the format requires more than a different gemstone or a more expensive setting.

Da Milano has been making leather goods in India since 1989, drawing on Italian design sensibility and applying it to materials and craftsmanship that have built the brand a loyal following across more than a hundred boutiques worldwide. The Summer '26 collection is its most considered seasonal offering yet, and it works because it does not try to be one thing.

After seven years away from the Met Gala, Lena Dunham returned on the host committee in a custom red Valentino by Alessandro Michele that took its inspiration not from a painting's narrative or its composition but from a single drop of blood on a painted neck. Here is everything behind the look.

When Venus Williams said on the morning of May 4 that co-chairing the Met Gala felt "really full circle," she was not being vague. By the time she arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that evening in a Swarovski crystal mesh gown built from a painting of herself that hangs in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, the full circle she was describing had become literal.

Gwendoline Christie, best known globally for playing Brienne of Tarth in HBO's Game of Thrones, has been thinking about masks for a long time. She has been thinking about height, femininity, the versions of ourselves we perform for the world, and the gap between the face we show and the one we feel we have.

Beyoncé arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the evening of May 4, 2026, wearing her own skeleton. Not a reference to one, not a gothic motif lifted from fashion history and applied across a dress, but an anatomically precise rendering of the human body's bone structure, built in crystal over nude mesh and placed directly over the body it was mapping. She had not attended the Met Gala since 2016. This is what ten years of absence looks like when it ends.

Every detail of Isha Ambani's Met Gala 2026 look, from the gold-woven Gaurav Gupta sari painted by a National Award-winning Pichwai master to the 1,800-carat blouse envisioned by Nita Ambani and built from the family's jewelry archive, the Nizam's sarpech, and the bronze mango by Subodh Gupta, the only artist whose work appeared on two separate Met Gala looks on the same night.

The Hyderabad philanthropist returned to the Met Gala with a Manish Malhotra creation rooted in Machilipatnam Kalamkari, Telangana's cultural symbols, and a $15 million tanzanite from her own collection. Here is every detail.

Manish Malhotra has dressed Bollywood royalty, Hollywood names, actual royalty, and some of the most photographed women in the world. For 35 years he has been the person standing behind the camera, behind the fitting room door, behind the star on the red carpet. At Met Gala 2026, for the first time on fashion's biggest stage, he stepped in front.

The first Indian film director to attend the Met Gala arrived not trying to explain India, but simply feeling like himself. Here is the full story of the cape that made that possible.
