NEW‑IN

Kylie Jenner for Miu Miu

Kylie Jenner is officially a Miu Miu girl, fronting the brand’s Fall/Winter 2025 campaign. While Kendall has been the family’s regular on the runway, Kylie’s been steadily building her high‑fashion portfolio — from walking Coperni to starring in campaigns for Acne Studios and Jean Paul Gaultier. Miu Miu marks her latest (and perhaps most playful) step into the luxury fold.

Mary Phillips Launches m.ph

After two decades behind the scenes, celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips — the talent behind Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner’s signature looks — is stepping into the spotlight. Her debut brand, m.ph, promises to translate her red‑carpet artistry into an accessible, pro‑grade makeup line.

THE FRAGRANCES

Cry Baby Perfume Milk Returns

In 2016, Melanie Martinez’s Cry Baby Perfume Milk became a cult obsession — and disappeared just as quickly, remaining sold out for five years with resale prices climbing to $1,000. Now, Flower Shop Perfumes is bringing it back for the album’s ten‑year anniversary. Expect another sell‑out.

Rare Beauty Adds Eau de Parfum

Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty has officially entered the fragrance space. Rare Eau de Parfum — a warm, spiced floral in a sculptural ergonomic bottle — stays true to the brand’s accessible, function‑first ethos. After dominating makeup and making inroads into skincare, scent was always going to be the next chapter.

BEAUTY & BEYOND

SKIMS Launches Face Shapewear

From waistlines to jawlines: SKIMS has debuted its first beauty‑adjacent product, the sold‑out Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap. Playing into TikTok’s “morning shed” trend, it promises targeted compression to lift and tighten overnight. Whether it’s a one‑off experiment or the start of a SKIMS skincare arm remains to be seen.
