As she celebrates the first decade of her career as a soloist, Ángela Aguilar has chosen to honor Mexico by showcasing a collection of striking traditional dresses she has worn throughout the years.
The regional Mexican singer, who on Tuesday (Sep. 17) received a nomination to the Latin Grammy Awards in the album of the year category for her set Bolero, kicked off in recent days an exhibit at the Mexican Consulate in Houston, which specially arranged an area for visitors to enjoy the collection titled “Ángela Aguilar: 10 Years Singing and Dressing Mexico.”
The show is free and open to the public indefinitely, from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. (local time). It includes 25 outfits, including the one she wore in the music video for “Solamente Una Vez,” a song included in her newly nominated album.

Other dresses that have marked important moments in Aguilar’s career — from her beginnings singing “La Chancla” to a recent one with rebozos used at an awards ceremony — are part of this interactive experience, which includes QR codes on each piece to share information about the moment they were used.
Not to be missed is the short red dress she wore in the video for “Dime Cómo Quieres” alongside her now-husband, regional Mexican star Christian Nodal. Another notable piece is a tehuana from the state of Chiapas, hand-embroidered by artisans, which she wore for the cover of her album Primero Soy Mexicana.

Ángela Aguilar, who is the daughter of Mexican music icon Pepe Aguilar and granddaughter of the legendary Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre, made her onstage debut at only 3, while she and her family accompanied her father on tour. Five years later, she released her first album at the age of 8 — a joint album with her brother Leonardo titled Nueva Tradición that was powered by banda, mariachi and norteño sounds.
Her solo debut was in 2014 with the Christmas album Navidad con Ángela Aguilar, which was followed by Primero Soy Mexicana (2018), Baila Esta Cumbia (2020), Que No Se Apague La Música (2020), Mexicana Enamorada (2021) and Bolero ( 2024).
Visitors to her fashion exhibit in Houston will also see the tricolor dress, in honor of the Mexican flag, included on her family’s Jaripeo Sin Fronteras Tour, as well as the princess cut dress that the singer wore in front of Queen Sofia of Spain, which also showcased her Mexican roots.
Designers who have worked for Aguilar and contributed to this unique collection include Nelly de Anda, Iann Dey, Diego Medel, Enrique Samartin, Felipe Alvarado, Anayeli García Cruz and Felipe Botello, among others.
The Mexican consulate in Houston is located at 3200 Rogerdale Rd. in Houston, Texas. Watch the video with part of Ángela Aguilar’s dresses collection above.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is making a comeback, and it’s bringing one of music’s biggest living legends along for the ride. As announced Tuesday (Sept. 17), Cher will headline the brand’s first big runway showcase in six years — and she’ll be leading a lineup of all-women artists for the first time ever.
The iconic fashion house shared the news on Instagram with a video of the 78-year-old superstar singing her 1998 Billboard Hot 100-topping hit “Believe,” giving fans a taste of what she’ll bring to the VS runway this fall. “It’s a woman’s world, so it’s understood that you can’t have a fashion show without the mother of fashion herself—@Cher!” the caption reads.
“But she won’t be alone…stay tuned, more announcements are coming to round out our first-ever, all-women lineup,” the message continues.

Scheduled for Oct. 15 in Brooklyn, New York, the 2024 fashion show marks a major comeback for Victoria’s Secret. The event used to be an annual prime-time TV spectacular featuring the world’s most recognizable models — Heidi Klum, Karlie Kloss and Gisele Bündchen, to name a few of the show’s “Angels” — walking the runway in lingerie and avant-garde angel wings.
Major musicians were also frequently tapped to provide a live soundtrack for the fashion show, performing on stage as the models walked. Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez and more have all taken the gig at different points.
The last show of this kind, however, was in 2018, after which Victoria’s Secret canceled the program amid growing backlash to the brand’s lack of inclusivity and perpetuation of unrealistic beauty standards. In 2019, parent company L Brands stated its desire to “evolve the marketing of Victoria’s Secret” in the show’s absence.
Four years later, it made a mini-return of sorts with VS testing out a new approach: The Tour, a Prime Video special compiling footage of A-listers Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski and Hailey Bieber modeling the company’s apparel in cities all over the world. It also featured a performance from Doja Cat, then fresh off the release of her album Scarlet.
This year, Hadid will once again walk for VS alongside another seasoned Angel, Tyra Banks. And yes, the wings will also be making a grand return.
“We’ve read the comments and heard you,” the company wrote on Instagram in May. “The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is ✨ BACK ✨ and will reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love—the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment, and more!”

Joe Jonas has been feeling gratitude lately as he prepares to debut a new solo album that he’s already been teasing with the release of the first single “Work It Out.” But before you fully immerse yourself in the 35-year-old singer’s new sound, the Jonas Brother wants to bring a touch of his vintage aesthetic to your fall fashion rotation with the release of his debut clothing collection in collaboration with Scotch & Soda.
As the first brand ambassador for the clothing designer, the “Sucker” artist had the chance to utilize his creativity beyond crafting playlist-essential songs.
Trending on Billboard
“Scotch & Soda let me have creative control and I had the chance to explore colors, prints, styles and references that were really personal to me,” he says in an interview with Billboard. “I always like to tell a story with what I wear.”
That story involved his own personal drawings-turned-graphics with vintage themes from his favorite decade serving as the inspiration.
“I’ve always been influenced by the ’70s and the fashion from those eras, and the fun,” the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper says. “It felt so free, and I wanted that to be reflected in the clothing.”

The new collection includes a mix of vintage and sports-inspired pieces ranging from bold prints to everyday layering pieces you can throw on and go. Eagle-eyed fans may also notice Easter eggs that further hint to what you can expect on the new album.
“I carry around this little yellow book with me everywhere I go, and I write down a bunch of quotes and just thoughts for the day,” he explains. “I started to feel quite inspired by some of the ideas that I could stitch some of the quotes in the clothing. There are certain song lyrics that are on the clothes, and it’s just perfect timing.”

“The notion of ‘effortless luxury’ is quite authentic to me, my designs, and the meaning behind them. The word ‘luxury’ is used in too many ways, and you can get bored of it — it’s much more difficult to achieve something simple and effortless, of which you never get bored,” Marant said in a statement.
Since a young age Marant was inspired by Charles “Chuck” Taylor, the basketball player and famed shoe salesman behind Chuck Taylors. “When I was a kid, about eight or nine, I used to cut pieces of cork and put them in my sneakers — those shoes were actually a pair of Chuck Taylors” Marant shared with the Converse team.

Teddy Swims can still remember being 12 years old when he got his first pair of Timberland boots. While the outerwear brand’s Yellow Boot has continued to top style charts for fashion-forward utility wear, for the 31-year-old singer, the shoes were simply a sturdy pair of work boots that helped him score some extra cash as a kid.

“My stepdad at the time was like, ‘Well, if you’re going to get some money, I’ll give you $10 an hour, you’re going to work 10 hours every day, and then you can go spend your own money,’” Swims recalls in an interview with Billboard. “He bought me a pair of boots, and I was out there rolling sod on a football field.”

Combine classics in a pair of bestselling Levi’s denim shorts that come with a soft cotton mix material that has a hint of shoppers. Some Amazon shoppers love the style so much that they’ve been “wearing this style for years” — and as an added bonus, the shorts are 60% off.
2024 has been an ultra-successful year for the R&B singer, who scored his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with his soulful single “Lose Control,” which has managed to remain on the chart for 56 weeks. The artist keeps winning, being labeled by Timberland as “Iconic,” which he says is “all I ever wanted to be.”
How does one know they’re an icon? Besides being the face of a major campaign, Swims believes you have to reach Halloween costume status.
“I have a dear friend of mine that I went to middle school with and he said the definition of Iconic is when somebody can dress as you for Halloween and you could be noticeable,” he says. “For my entire life then on, I was like, ‘How can I be somebody that somebody could dress as for Halloween?’ They’ll know, ‘Oh, sh–, that’s Teddy Swims!’”
And according to the artist, it finally happened to him a few years ago when his tour manager’s little cousin dressed as him for Halloween.
“I was like, ‘I’m officially an icon, I did it,’” he adds.
And if you’re wondering how you can pull off a recognizable Teddy Swims costume, he says you simply need a fake beard, fake tattoos and jokes, “Maybe tuck a pillow under your shirt, get a little gut going.”
