Elordi was equally relaxed as an Aussie man chilling with fellow Aussie Robbie in a Bottega Veneta jacket, tank top and pants. One uses the word ‘jacket’ loosely.On Robbie, it’s a shrug or cardigan.
What’s obvious to AOC is the growing numbers of men being totally relaxed wearing femme fashion.
No intellectual edict is required by the designer. They’re just doing it — like Pharrell was doing in Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld a decade ago. No star designer is creating this look in 2026, even though one will probably claim it.

For Kaia, A Privileged Life Is an Artistic Life
Kaia Gerber has never hesitated to admit her privileged upbringing, anchored in a robust, loving and supportive family life. How many grown young women with Kaia’s level of accomplishment call their mothers their best friend?

Vogue France [IG] chooses Doutzen Kroes as its February 2026 cover star and this deliberately low-key visual presentation for her showcase. The lack of distraction allows us to focus on her energy and spirituality, writes VF.
I”n an era of constant exposure, her freedom and intentional choice to remain relatively offline feel increasingly rare, and deeply aspirational as we enter a new year.”
Doutzen is photographed by Richard Burbridge [IG], in a pared-down, “distinctly Parisian sensibility”.
