Megan Thee Stallion stars in fashion campaign, Bad Bunny and Lionel Messi collaborate on adidas collection, and more of the week’s style highlights

When it comes to style, we are all inspired by what we see; whether it be a well-dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a fashionable passerby.

As fashion editors, we’re moved by all of the above, and then some. We’re exposed to under-the-radar labels; we get a first-hand look at collections months before they hit stores; we attend VIP events; we’re tapped into brands with chic-yet-cheap offerings and we shop — a lot.

To share our knowledge, FEMAIL brings you Style Swoon, a weekly series of the latest, greatest and on the verge. We hope this series will serve as a buying guide and point of inspiration for all.

Earlier this week, adidas Originals announced their one-of-a-kind partnership between two global superstars, Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, better known as Bad Bunny, and soccer legend Lionel Messi.

The collection will drop tomorrow, Saturday, October 26th. 

The Bad Bunny & Messi Collection draws inspiration from adidas heritage models, materials, and colorways from its rich brand archives. 

It features two of adidas’ most celebrated silhouettes – the adidas Gazelle and the adidas F50 cleat. 

The F50 has been worn by Messi throughout his playing career and is widely recognized as one of the best soccer cleats of all time. 

The Gazelle has evolved from being worn in indoor soccer gyms to a lifestyle footwear icon and one of Bad Bunny’s favorite styles.

‘Messi’s last name has become its own word, a synonym for greatness, courage and heart,’ said Bad Bunny. 

‘Watching him play with the passion he does is a privilege. I compare the love he feels for his country and his sport to the love I feel for music and Puerto Rico. 

‘Collaborating with him is an honor that so many people dream of and I never even imagined I could achieve it. Today, I feel so grateful to be able to represent our culture with the GOAT.’

‘Our campaign conceptualized and creative directed by Anine, was inspired by self-love—and the micro moments of joy all around us. With this campaign our aim is to spark more glimmers. That’s why the product glimmers too, so you can see a glimmer every time you look at yourself.’

The lip treatment instantly plumps lips with long-lasting hydration, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and leaves lips soft and full.

‘I’ve been using OLEHENRIKSEN products for almost 20 years, so collaborating on our new Pout Preserve shade I Heart ME feels incredibly special,’ said Bing. 

‘The project allowed me to design the packaging and take on the role of creative director, which was a delightful experience. I’m inspired by Ole’s philosophy of self-love and how it connects to beauty, which is why this glimmering shade was named in honor of self-love.’

The limited-edition Pout Preserve Peptide Lip retails for $22.

 It can be found exclusively in North America on sephora.com and olehenriksen.com

Founded in 1962 by Arnaldo and Donatella Girombelli, Genny became known for its high-quality products, precision tailoring, and extreme femininity.

In 1973 the label flourished, partly because Gianni Versace became creative director.

‘Now we’re here with a new vision, but not to change anything, just to update it,’ said Sara.

‘My idea is to keep the DNA, because to me, the focus on femininity is important.’
