The fashion world is sizzling with unconventional trends as we prepare to step into 2025. Designers and influencers are redefining the boundaries of wearable art with looks that are equal parts bold and bizarre. From translucent jelly dresses to whipped meringue hair, and glasses that literally catch fire, the runway has never been this electrifying—or flammable.


Jelly Dresses: A Second Skin for Women


Move over sequins—jelly is the new shimmer. These semi-transparent, gooey-textured dresses are made from biopolymer materials and provide a sculpted, wet-look aesthetic. First seen at Paris Fashion Week, jelly dresses have made waves among trendsetters, including celebrities like Zendaya and Billie Eilish.


“I love how it feels like wearing a second skin, but glamorous,” said influencer Tasha Vines in a TikTok post showcasing her shimmering lime-green jelly gown.


The dresses come in various hues and levels of transparency, with some featuring embedded LED lights that pulse to the wearer’s heartbeat. However, critics have raised concerns about comfort and durability, particularly in warm climates where the jelly can become sticky.


Meringue Hair: Whipped and Ready


For men, hairstyling in 2025 will take a sweet turn with the rise of meringue hair. This trend involves using light, whipped styling products to create gravity-defying peaks, swirls, and waves resembling a perfectly piped dessert.


The look, popularized by K-pop idols and athletes, has become a TikTok sensation with tutorials on achieving the perfect “stiff yet airy” texture.


“Who doesn’t want to look like a delicious pastry?” quipped designer Nigel Moreau, who styled models’ hair into intricate meringue shapes for his Spring 2025 collection.


While undeniably eye-catching, meringue hair has its detractors. “It’s fun, but I don’t want to look like a cupcake topper,” said one skeptical Reddit user.




Fiery Glasses: The Future Is Lit

The most jaw-dropping trend of all? Glasses that catch fire—intentionally. These avant-garde accessories feature a small, controlled flame that flickers along the rim of the frames, powered by a miniature fuel cell.


First introduced by experimental brand PyroVision, fiery glasses have become a statement piece for daring fashionistas. Lady Gaga was spotted sporting them at a recent awards show, her smoldering eyewear drawing audible gasps from the crowd.


But are they practical? Experts warn that these glasses are more about making a statement than offering everyday utility. Safety concerns abound, with strict guidelines for wearing them in public spaces. Still, the allure of setting your style ablaze is hard to ignore.


What These Trends Say About 2025


This year’s trends reflect a growing appetite for risk-taking and individuality in fashion. From tactile materials to flamboyant accessories, 2025 is poised to be a year of fearless self-expression.


“These trends may seem extreme, but that’s the point,” said fashion analyst Miranda Zhou. “They’re a response to years of minimalism. People want to feel alive, vibrant, and a little dangerous.”


Will You Embrace the Heat?


Whether you’re ready to shimmy into a jelly dress, whip up your hair into sugary peaks, or don flaming frames, 2025 is all about stepping out of your comfort zone.


As the saying goes, if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the runway.

Opinion: Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year, “Mocha Mousse,” Is an Absolute Disaster

Image
By Charles Edison, Opinion Editor December 6th, 2024 When Pantone announced its 2025 Color of the Year, “Mocha Mousse,” I had to double-check the date. Was it April Fool’s Day? Sadly, no. Pantone really expects us to embrace a color that looks like  literal poop . Let’s not mince words: “Mocha Mousse” is an aesthetic abomination. Brown can be warm and inviting, but this shade is the exact opposite—uninspired, murky, and downright unappetizing. Instead of signaling creativity, it looks like someone decided to paint the world with the contents of a clogged toilet. A Missed Opportunity Pantone bills “Mocha Mousse” as “grounding” and “reassuring.” Grounding, maybe—if your idea of grounding involves burying yourself in mediocrity. This shade isn’t reassuring; it’s depressing. It’s the color of regret, stagnation, and bad decisions. Where past Colors of the Year like “Viva Magenta” and “Classic Blue” offered vibrancy and optimism, “Mocha Mousse” feels like the design equivalent of giving...

By Frederick Prentiss Entertainment Correspondent DECEMBER 4, 2024 — HOLLYWOOD, CA The internet is abuzz with a bizarre new rumor: is Lana Del Rey secretly a lobster? The speculation started after the singer was recently spotted on a yacht off the coast of Malibu, where eagle-eyed fans noticed something unusual—large lobster claws in place of her arms. The photo, which quickly went viral, shows the “Summertime Sadness” star standing confidently on deck, her usual delicate arms replaced by the unmistakable pincers of a lobster. The image has raised eyebrows, leading some to question if Lana’s transformation into an aquatic creature is part of a new artistic project—or something even stranger. As a lifelong fan of Lana Del Rey, I have to admit that I’ve been completely captivated by her enigmatic artistry and haunting music. But the idea of her as a lobster?
