These images capture the moments just before the runway — final adjustments, quiet focus, and the intensity that lives backstage at couture level.

Last week, I had the immense honour of returning backstage at Robert Wun’s Spring/Summer 2026 haute couture show, Valour — our fifth show together, and one that feels especially powerful.
Ariana Grande’s breathtaking “The Pink Butterflies” couture look for Wicked brings together the creative brilliance of designer Robert Wun and milliner Awon Golding. Featuring a pink wool crepe–covered hat, the ensemble is a poetic blend of craftsmanship, elegance, and fantasy—styled to perfection by Law Roach.
Usher has always been a trendsetter, and his "Past Present Future" tour is no exception. One of his standout looks features a sculptural hat designed by Awon Golding in collaboration with Robert Wun. Worn with an avant-garde, crystal-embellished coat, the hat adds a futuristic edge to his performance. Under the stage lights, the piece commands attention, reinforcing Usher’s legacy as both a musical and fashion icon. His styling proves that millinery can be just as bold as his legendary choreography.
