For years, smart glasses have existed in a kind of aesthetic purgatory: too techy for fashion people, too awkward for mainstream consumers, and often associated with the exact kind of guy who makes everyone in the coffee shop (or Pilates class) extremely uncomfortable. Even when tech bros promised that smart eyewear represented the future, the frames themselves rarely looked like something anyone actually wanted to wear outside a product demo.⁠
⁠
That's why Google and Samsung's new collaboration with South Korean luxury eyewear label Gentle Monster feels notable. Unveiled during Google I/O 2026, the collaboration marks the first public reveal of Google's Android XR smart glasses. The glasses, arriving later this year, will feature built-in speakers, microphones, and a camera, allowing wearers to listen to music, take calls, snap photos, and interact with Google's Gemini AI assistant hands-free.⁠
⁠
But the actual technology almost feels secondary to the pitch; these are smart glasses designed to be stylish first. Head to the link in bio for the full story.

The 2026 Met Gala was held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, gathering celebrities and fashion insiders from across the world.

However, the Met Gala fashion wasn’t the only thing turning heads on Monday. Bezos’ involvement drew significant attention to this year’s gala, provoking considerable criticism beyond the traditional fashion commentary.

The Met Gala has previously come under fire for revelling in ostentatious opulence while the rest of the world burns, drawing comparisons to the severe class divide in dystopic YA novel The Hunger Games. 

Now that the fourth richest man in the world has reportedly dropped $10 million to sponsor the event, the vibes for the 2026 Met Gala were even more off than usual. 

On Friday, activist group Everyone Hates Elon left approximately 300 bottles of fake urine inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a reference to allegations that Amazon workers have been forced to pee in bottles to keep on schedule amidst gruelling working conditions.

Andy Serkis isn't done with Middle-earth just yet.⁠
⁠
The upcoming prequel film The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum sees Serkis pulling double duty — more so than he already does in the dual part of Gollum/Sméagol. On top of reprising that iconic role, he's also stepping into the director's chair, making him the only person aside from Peter Jackson to helm a live-action Lord of the Rings movie.⁠
