Singapore Aeris, it was truly a reverie. 

Maison Valentino unveiled its Fall/Winter 2025–26 collection, Le Méta-Théâtre Des Intimités, in Singapore with a night that blurred the line between high fashion and performance. While the collection itself turned heads, it was K-pop powerhouse Hwasa who became the centerpiece of the evening.

The MAMAMOO star arrived in a show-stopping ensemble that embodied Valentino’s new era under Creative Director Alessandro Michele. Hwasa wore a jacquard animal print lurex knit jacket with feather trim details and shearling cuffs, paired with a matching jacquard animal print skirt and a floral lace bodysuit. She completed the look with the season’s highlight accessory, the Valentino Garavani Panthea bag, alongside Valentino Garavani Fetishique sandals.

Hwasa’s bold presence mirrored the daring spirit of Michele’s vision, bringing a touch of K-pop charisma to Valentino’s theatrical world. As both an icon of global music and fashion, her appearance reaffirmed the seamless crossover between stagecraft and couture.

The walls of The Star Theatre shook on Saturday evening as Xdinary Heroes brought their Beautiful Mind World Tour back to Singapore, marking their highly anticipated return after more than a year. The show was made all the more special as it served as the final Asia stop before the six-member rock band heads to North America in August.From the moment Geon-il, Jeong-su, Ga-on, O.de, Jun Han, and Joo-yeon took the stage, the energy was palpable. The concert kicked off with a powerhouse opening — Beautiful Life, Xymphony, Bicycle, Bad Chemical, LOVE and FEAR, and Fight Me — setting the tone for an adrenaline-charged evening. 

       

Known as a “melting pot of genres,” Xdinary Heroes proved their musical versatility with a setlist that spanned heartfelt ballads, high-octane rock, and genre-bending tracks. Fans were treated to songs the members had a hand in writing and composing, including PLUTO and Diamond, each delivered with raw emotion and technical precision. The night reached new heights when the band unleashed their latest track FiRE (My Sweet Misery), sending the crowd into a frenzy.The atmosphere was electric as fan favourites like Feeling Nice, Walking to the Moon, Save Me, and Night Before the End rang through the venue. Each song was met with deafening cheers, lightsticks swaying in sync with the music, and fans singing along word-for-word. As the final notes faded, the members took a moment to share their heartfelt gratitude. In their ending ment, they promised, “If you keep seeking for us and reaching out for us, we will come back to you.” They assured fans that they would continue making better music and growing as artists, creating songs that bring joy to listeners around the world.
