The Best Fashion Instagrams of the Week: Dua Lipa, Melodie Monrose, and More
Plus, a mirror selfie with a chic French woman is never a bad idea….


This week…well, it’s certainly been a wild ride. The drawn-out election, of course, has been the focal point of our lives online and off. A whole slew of celebrities took to social media to encourage voting in the beginning of the week. One famous name included Kourtney Kardashian, in a hoodie, who gave her best find-the-light face to the camera complete with an “I Voted” sticker.
And while ballots are still being counted, people used fashion as a way to drive political messages home. A glowing Gabrielle Richardson aka @FridaCashFlow wore a rose bud-dotted top by Born Supply with the caption that included the words: “black women deserve all their flowers. we’ve seen the data, we know whats going on.” There was also Hedi Slimane-favorite model and musician Julia Cumming of Sunflower Bean who sported a fresh new pixie cut, and took some time this week to deliver food to poll workers through @WorkthePolls. Her clothing of choice? A trusty puffer coat.
Of course, while Instagrams were certainly election-centric, there were chic moments that acted as an escape from reality. Dua Lipa posted a red hot photo of herself before her appearance on Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday. She wore a dreamy look that included a sheeny pink polo and a pair of strappy white boots. In Paris, beloved French mirror selfie-taker Sophie Fontanel gave us some new meaning on how to style stripes, and back in New York, model Kate Ahn gave us the trend of the moment: an exposed yellow thong with low-slung pants and snug jacket by Perverze.
Finally, one of our favorite autumnal outfits came from model Melodie Monrose. Among a splash of leaves, she posed on top of a vintage car in a brown puffer vest and white pants. Like her photo, her caption truly captured a collective mood: “wake me up when this is over.”
Here, see more of the best fashion Instagrams of the week.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout
A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.
The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.
There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.
The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.
Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack
Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.
The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.
None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.
Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
