Step into a house where the air in the room itself tells a story and prepare to forget the usual rules of fragrance-making. Rituals Cosmetics is introducing its brand-new Soulful Collection, a line of exclusive home perfumes crafted by three of the world’s most celebrated perfumers.  Each scent of the trio reflects a personal interpretation of the emotions: love, gratitude, or positivity. 

Whether you’re spritzing your living room, refreshing your closet, or lighting a candle for a cozy evening, Rituals has you covered.

Love, created by Haohua Meng Riviere, is a fragrance that combines the sweetness of fresh raspberries with the velvety richness of rose petals: “Love is sweet and addictive. This was my inspiration behind this subtle floral fragrance with touches of fresh raspberries and rich, velvety rose petals,” Haohua said.

Gratitude, by Vladimir Lardin, is a soothing blend of peach and bergamot, with subtle notes of lavender, jasmine, and rose.  And for those days when you need a little boost, Positivity by Soraia da Costa Silva delivers a vibrant burst of bergamot and neroli, designed to capture the energy and spirit of positivity. It also contains middle notes of Neroli orange blossom and petitgrain.

Each scent comes in a variety of formats, from home perfume sprays to scented candles and wardrobe fragrances, all housed in elegant glass packaging. The Positivity, Love, or Gratitude Refill Fragrance Sticks Set is priced at HK$740. The Home Perfume Spray is available for HK$400, the Wardrobe Fragrance for HK$285, and the Scented Candle for HK$510.

Photo 2 Photo by Dyson

Who says stylers can’t get more stylish? Dyson just unveiled its latest bespoke colorway inspired by the Jasper plum gemstone.

Available across their beauty device range, the purple jasper color (a.k.a. Jasper Plum) was designed by Dyson’s Colors, Materials and Finishes (CMF) engineers to capture the contrasting tones of the gemstone, which resulted in a distinctive triple-toned palette: a deep plum main body, rich violet details, and bright blush pink accents.

Purple is indeed the new black with this chic new colorway set to make a statement, underscoring the engineers’ desire to enhance beauty from within, to boost confidence and express personal style, while maintaining healthy hair.

“The visual and tactile qualities of the products we use daily influence our experience. Our goal is to transform everyday items into something delightful to use and own,” shared Amelia Ayerst, CMF Design Manager at Dyson. 

Dyson machines have been known for their fast, powerful, and efficient performance, which makes them the ideal tools for self-care amidst busy lives. Your hair is an expression of who you are, and Dyson’s beauty products show that the simple gesture of styling it every day doesn’t only enhance physical beauty but also boosts your confidence thus improving your overall mood and perspective on life. Simply put, a good hair day equals a good life. 

The new Jasper Plum collection will be available on the Dyson Airstrait™ straightener and the Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ multi-styler and dryer. Prices are currently at P34,900 for the straightener and P36,900 for the Airwrap multi-styler. The multi-styler will have all the usual inclusions, including two new attachments: a conical barrel for tighter, defined curls and a large round volumizing brush that creates more volume.

Eight Best-Dressed Music Icons At The 2025 Grammy Awards
Grammys Photo by Recording Academy/Facebook

If there’s one thing that’s louder than the music at the Grammys, it’s the red carpet looks. Fashion is all about making a statement and no one does it better than music’s biggest night where talented icons in the industry get glammed up for the celebrations. Last Sunday night’s red carpet was a true spectacle as the 67th Annual Grammy Awards commenced, becoming the runway for some of the most breathtaking fashion moments of the year. 

Vintage glam seemed to be a recurring trend on the carpet as stars like Chappel Roan and Olivia Rodrigo donned looks from designers’ archives. There were also a lot of shimmering dresses and edgy black leather worn by pop stars like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus, as well as smart tailoring as seen on Billie Eilish, Doechii, and Janelle Monáe. 

From elegant couture to bold, statement-making looks, here are our favorite standout ensembles on the Grammys 2025 red carpet.

Taylor Swift

“Loving him was red,” indeed, as the Eras tour headliner dazzled in a shimmering red minidress from Vivienne Westwood. Taylor Swift never goes out of style and has worn some of the best red carpet looks over the years — all the while breaking records left and right. The “Cruel Summer” singer was nominated for six categories that night, including Album of the Year, and what better way to celebrate than to be in something she can move and dance around in? Genius!

She accessorized the look with red heels and a metal leg chain with a tiny “T.” Could this be a nod to his beau Travis Kelcey and that sultry lyric at the beginning of the chorus of her song “Guilty as Sin,” or maybe it means Taylor’s debut TV is coming? We’ll leave it to the Swifties to decode the easter eggs. 

Sabrina Carpenter

Another singer working late Sunday night is Sabrina Carpenter who brought Old Hollywood glam onto the red carpet with a satin powder-blue gown featuring a backless mermaid silhouette and feather accents. The dress was created by Irish designer Jonathan Anderson, who shared the stunning fashion moment on his IG stories. What we love most about this look is how it perfectly captures her image which she had donned throughout her “Short N’ Sweet” era. 

The “Espresso” singer accessorized the look with matching blue platform peep-toe mules and diamond-encrusted jewelry, which was the star of the show. She had a long string of nineteen carats of Chopard diamonds trailing down her back, which ended in the gorgeous D-flawless brilliant cut gemstone from Chopard's Garden of Kalahari Collection. The necklace is reported to have an estimated cost of one million dollars! 

The singer’s stylist, Jared Ellner, also included drop earrings and a 10.10-carat oval diamond ring from the same jeweler. On the other hand, Sabrina’s second look was thanks to Versace — a gold shimmering dress that got its turn in the spotlight when she received the Best Pop Vocal Album award. 

Chappell Roan

Another singer bringing the vintage drama on the red carpet is Best New Artist, Chappell Roan, who donned a Jean Paul Gaultier ball gown featured in the designer's 2003 couture runway. The yellow dress is elaborately tiered and is a literal piece of art as it includes prints of ballerinas inspired by Edward Degas’ famous paintings.

A true midwestern princess, the “Good Luck, Babe!” hitmaker matched it with sheer turquoise gloves, a feathered headpiece, and her signature clown-inspired glam. It’s bold, eccentric, and so Chappell! A true statement of identity!

ICYDK, this wasn’t the first time the gown was worn by an icon. Beyonce reportedly wore the same design in an Elle magazine spread during her Destiny’s Child days. 

Olivia Rodrigo

There’s nothing sour about this look. In fact, we might even suggest Olivia Rodrigo name her next album, “Hot,” because there’s just something about a sultry black dress! From the fit down to the glam, the three-time Grammy winner brought this vintage Versace plunging black halter gown back to life on the red carpet, turning heads with its sexy elements like the cut-out sides and nearly open back! 

Donatella Versace paid tribute to the artist with a heartwarming Instagram post saying: “@oliviarodrigo, you bring so much power and confidence to the Grammy’s red carpet in this Versace Spring- Summer 2000 dress. You are enchanting ✨”

The Lancôme ambassador paired the look with some Tiffany and Co. jewels, and dare we say it, a man by her side. Olivia attended solo in the past years, so it was a delightful surprise when she arrived with her boyfriend and “Enola Holmes” actor, Louis Partridge.

Charli XCX

“Brat” was the album of the summer and British singer Charli XCX became the belle of the ball with a custom corset gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin for Jean Paul Gaultier

The corset bodice had a lace-up detailing at the back, which was one of its standout features. This structured element balanced the dramatic ruffled skirt, which featured a slit that reached her thigh, and showcased her knee-high black boots. The gown was said to have been inspired by a combination of looks from Gaultier's recent Paris couture runway. The ruffles extended to the sleeves and neckline, which created a balanced and elegant look. 

The “Guess” singer accessorized it with Bucherer Fine Jewelry and her signature bold makeup glam with loose waves. The only thing we didn’t love was the color. Could’ve gone with something bolder, perhaps “Brat Green?” But that’s just us. We love it overall and kind of reminded us of Ariana Grande’s poofy ball gown way back in 2020

Shaboozey

It wasn’t just the women slaying on the red carpet but also the gentlemen. Just take Shaboozey who donned a custom Diesel suit. This is the first time the country singer is attending the prestigious awards show where he secured five nominations including two of the Big Four categories for his track, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”

The ensemble featured a glen-plaid leather double-breasted jacket with a matching fringed scarf, which we thought elevated the entire look. He paired it with black pants, then finished the look with a Lotus diamond brooch by De Beers Jewelry and a Jacob & Co.’s Ashoka diamond watch. 

Troye Sivan

Another best-dressed gentleman of the night is singer-songwriter Troye Sivan who graced the red carpet with a custom Prada suit that gave off a sense of tranquility. Amid the edgy leathers and bright sequins, Troye walked in, and it was like a breath of fresh air with his delicately crafted suit made of sheer silk organza in varying hues of lilac and lavender, which made it stand out from the formal black and grays of the evening. 

The “Strawberries and Cigarettes” singer was styled by Marc Forne, who completed the look with a matching scarf pinned with a diamond brooch. The artist reportedly collaborated with Prada on the design, which was inspired by a purple organza dress worn by Uma Thurman in 1994. 

We thought it was a lovely choice considering it’s one of the lucky shades of the year and gives a softer appearance to a masculine look.

Cardi B

Sabrina Carpenter isn’t the only one who wore feathers at the grand night because Cardi B also dazzled us with a red carpet stunner last Sunday night!

The rapper donned a golden tiger patterned gown that showed off her curves, proving that animal prints are here to stay! 

This is what we mean when a dress should hug you in all the right places. The Roberto Cavalli masterpiece fit her like a glove, highlighting the impressive craftsmanship with a sequined mermaid silhouette and full feather train. Gold and diamond Le Vian earrings and jeweled serpent cocktail rings completed her look, overall making it one of the most memorable looks of the night.
