Hotel Cala di Volpe is wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s Majolica Gialla this summer. I have been wearing it longer. The sun chose yellow first. So did I.
My look: Majolica pleated printed cotton-poplin midi dress
, Majolica leather and twill-trimmed raffia tote bag, and Keira printed leather platform sandals, all by Dolce & Gabbana, Bronte gold-plated earrings by Jennifer Behr, Mitza ring by Dior Fine Jewellery, and Tank Américaine in yellow gold with diamonds by Cartier, and Lisa square-frame metal sunglasses by Saint Laurent.

Sparkle and oversized denim. With a broken heart.
These photos were taken on my daughter Anouk‘s terrace in Boston, a place she called home for six years and is now leaving behind. Moving back to Europe is the right decision. It is also an emotional one. And sometimes the only answer to big feelings is an even bigger look.
And yes, oversized is not exactly the silhouette I reach for first. But that is precisely the point. Because the moment you stop reinventing yourself is the moment you start standing still. In fashion as in life: keep moving forward. That is the real secret to staying young.
My look: Oversized crystal-embellished denim shirt, and matching crystal-embellished wide-leg jeans, both by Stella McCartney, Cassandre cotton T-shirt by Saint Laurent, silver-tone faux pearl necklace, and faux pearl-embellished silver-tone charm, both by Simone Rocha, Hourglass crystal-embellished suede shoulder bag, logo baseball cap, and kit charm key ring, all by Balenciaga, Triple S sneakers in white with black stripes by Balenciaga x adidas.

Charming beyond words. Nestled in the rolling hills of Buckinghamshire, Hambleden might just be England’s most picture-perfect village, and honestly, it felt like stepping straight onto a film set. The flint stone church, the honey-coloured cottages, the quiet village green, a more beautiful backdrop for an outfit post simply does not exist.
My look: Printed cotton-jersey T-shirt, and Rockstud leather and satin-trimmed crystal-embellished tulle ballet flats, both by Valentino, Wanderlust cropped wide-leg jeans by Zimmermann, My LV Chain pilot sunglasses by Louis Vuitton, Trunk hand-painted leather shoulder bag by Marni, and hoop-drop clip earrings by Saint Laurent.
Wishing you all a wonderful Whitsun weekend!

London has a way of making you feel anything is possible. Standing in front of the Corinthia Hotel, one of the city’s most iconic addresses, I chose to show up in full bloom: a floral dress, an oversized studded denim jacket, and zero apologies.
Yes, it is a young look. And why ever not? Age is not a dress code. The only rule that matters is whether you feel alive in what you wear. Wear the dress. Add the jacket. Own it completely.
My look: Grizzo oversized studded denim jacket by Khaite, floral dress with white collar by Miu Miu, Cherry leather platform ankle boots
, and Niki mini studded quilted textured-leather shoulder bag, both by Saint Laurent, Aquanaut Luce in khaki green by Patek Philippe, and My Monogram square sunglasses by Louis Vuitton.
Stay wild. Stay free.

The outfit: spontaneous, but make it Barbie. A pink tracksuit, worn with complete intention. The jacket silhouette is everywhere right now, and for good reason.
The real talking point: my new Moschino toilet paper roll bag, acquired as a special order ahead of its official launch. Camp and couture in equal measure. The perfect accessory to underscore the glorious kitsch of the Malibu Barbie Café. At home in my closet sits the actual Barbie outfit, still waiting for its debut. But this worked. Perfectly.
My look: Embroidered shell track jacket, and matching shell track pants, both by Givenchy, ribbed cotton tank by Brunello Cucinelli, silver-tone faux pearl necklace, and faux pearl-embellished silver-tone charm, both by Simone Rocha, toilet paper bag by Moschino, drip rose kidskin sandal with crystals 105mm by Valentino, aviator sunglasses with Swarovski crystals by CHANEL, and Oyster Perpetual 36 with a turquoise blue dial by Rolex.

Family Time 🤍… some things are just universal. A day in Boston with my daughter Anouk, my favorite kind of time. We ended it with Peking duck at JIANG NAN – Chinese Fusion, simple and perfect.
Wearing Alice + Olivia – I love how the brand creates pieces that feel playful, bold, exactly my style and with a fit that feels made for me.
And every time I watch the stories of Stacey Bendet, I can’t help but smile, the way her daughter Scarlet captures her, the little comments, that mother-daughter rhythm… it feels so familiar. Alice + Olivia was founded in 2002, the same year Anouk was born. A full circle moment.
My look: Bradley stretch cotton equestrian cardigan, and gorgeous corduroy jumpsuit, both by Alice + Olivia, Paris metallic leather ankle boots and Monogram fringed shoulder bag, both by Saint Laurent, cat-eye sunglasses by Gucci, and crystal-embellished clip-on earrings in gold by Alessandra Rich.

There are cities that dress you differently. Tbilisi is one of them. When I was planning what to wear for my first evening in Georgia, it felt only right to let the destination guide the choices, not just in mood, but in origin.
The bag I chose is Balenciaga from the Demna era. For those who don’t know: Demna Gvasalia, one of the most influential designers of his generation, is Georgian. His early work for the house carries something raw and architectural that, to me, has always felt deeply rooted in where he comes from. The necklace and the bodysuit are by David Koma, another Georgian talent who has built an international name while never losing that precise, almost sculptural approach to dressing.
Two pieces. Two Georgian designers. One city that made the connection feel inevitable.
More from this evening – and from Tbilisi – coming soon.
My look: Hooded wool mini dress by Alaïa, zebra macramé long sleeve bodysuit, and crocodile necklace, both by David Koma, Hourglass crystal-embellished suede shoulder bag by Balenciaga, patchwork belt with snake head buckle by Saint Laurent, and Kiki studded leather platform ankle boots by Marc Jacobs.

I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect birthday last Friday. Surrounded by incredible, stylish women in Zürich – some of whom even traveled to celebrate with me – my heart is still so full. From 12:30 PM until 12:30 AM we laughed, talked, celebrated, and created the most beautiful memories at Club zum Rennweg. I feel beyond grateful and honestly so spoiled.
Thank you to everyone who made this day so special. I love birthdays, but even more, I love the people who make them unforgettable.
My look: Hypnotic lace trim mini dress by Zimmermann, small Heritage shoulder bag by Chloé, Rossy 160 patent leather platform sandals by Saint Laurent, floral lace tights in burgundy by Calzedonia, and crystal-embellished clip-on earrings in gold by Alessandra Rich.

Rome is not just the Eternal City. For some of us, it is a place where life folds in on itself, past and present, joy and loss, beauty and farewell. This Valentino look was photographed here, in a city that meant more to Valentino Garavani than mythology or monument. Rome was never a backdrop for him; it was a language he spoke fluently, of restraint, confidence, and quiet power.
Yesterday, as the world said goodbye, this image took on another meaning for me. Rome was also the destination of my last journey with my father. A place where time slowed, where moments became memories without announcing themselves as such. Perhaps that is what true elegance does. It holds space, for love, for legacy, for absence. Valentino understood that. And Rome, as always, remembers.
My look: Polka-dot flocked wool-blend tweed jacket, and matching layered polka-dot wool-blend tweed shorts, VLogo bow shirt in white, and Roman Stud quilted leather shoulder bag, all by Valentino, St. Sulpice black pumps by Saint Laurent, Maillon de Cartier 16mm 18-karat white gold diamond watch
, and Clash de Cartier bracelet MM in white gold, both by Cartier, chain creole earrings by CHANEL, and EverDior oversized square metal sunglasses by Dior.

Continuing this beautiful intersection of design and everyday rituals, there’s yet another collaboration that truly caught my eye: Christofle × Saint Laurent, this time at the table.
I’ve always loved the idea that style doesn’t stop at fashion or interiors, but extends into the smallest daily gestures. Cutlery is something we use without thinking, yet in this collaboration it becomes intentional, bold, and unmistakably chic. Christofle’s craftsmanship meets Saint Laurent’s sharp, modern edge, turning something functional into a true design statement.
It’s elegant, slightly rebellious, and effortlessly cool, proof that even the act of eating can feel curated. A reminder that luxury isn’t always about excess, but about elevating the ordinary into something special. Style, after all, is in the details.
Available to order for € 5000 for a set of 24 pieces (6 knives, 6 forks, 6 large spoons, 6 coffee spoons in 30mm silver-plated nickel silver, 100% stainless steel steel) online here.
LoL, Sandra
