Alexandra Leclerc’s Wedding Day Magic in Paolo Sebastian
Alexandra Leclerc, wife of F1 superstar Charles Leclerc, has walked down the aisle at their surprise civil nuptials in Monaco in a Paolo Sebastian couture dream.

Paolo Sebastian’s New Couture Collection is a Gothic Romance Dream
Adelaide’s own Paolo Sebastian has just unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 couture collection, and frankly, we’re still catching our breath. Titled Forget Me Not, the collection draws inspiration from the delicate blue wildflower — a symbol of enduring love, whispered memories, and the invisible threads that bind us across time and distance.
The aesthetic is pure poetry: think gossamer-fine Lyon lace, intricate ribboned corsetry, and silhouettes that float with the weightless elegance of a watercolour painting. Shades of forget-me-not blue meet moody tea rose, deep noir, and velvety marron glacé.
Our highlights? The French Chantilly lace gown with its wrapped ribbon corset and asymmetrical skirt, and for the ultimate “Cathy” moment, we’re eyeing the tea-length lace gown with its tiered frill skirt and draped corset bodice. If you prefer Victorian restraint, the French Lyon lace column gown with its ribbon corset waist-cincher is pure midnight elegance. And for a touch of tragic beauty? The silk georgette gown, featuring delicate embellishments and bow detailing
With its hauntingly beautiful gothic-romanticism, we’re already placing our bets: someone get Margot Robbie’s stylist on the phone, because this collection belongs on the Wuthering Heights red carpet.

Taylor Swift turns literary drama into fashion magic in her new video, The Fate of Ophelia, wearing an unforgettable gown by South Australia’s own Paolo Sebastian. The couture piece from the 2024-25 Autumn/Winter collection, A Lover’s Kiss, is the Gilded Cage — an exposed corset cage gown adorned with hand-beaded paillettes and crystals, featuring heart-and-arrow motifs as a nod to Cupid and Psyche’s eternal devotion. The collection as a whole draws inspiration from literature’s greatest love stories, and couldn’t have been a more perfect fit for the video’s theatrical, showgirl-inspired vision. It’s a homegrown triumph and the perfect pairing of artistry and star power.
