The most coveted item? The Papaya Leggings, which have just been re-released. The ultra-high-rise, shiny-coated Papaya Sculpt Legging promise to live up to their new name and redesign with new bonded panels cupping the rear for “lift and shape” and a compressing waistband panel to “support you in all the right places and complement the curves of your body.”

Mariah Carey is anything if not dramatic, and you can be sure her collaboration with Chopard, Happy Butterfly, is fittingly over-the-top—and dripping with diamonds. The “Always Be My Baby” songstress co-created a butterfly-inspired diamond jewellery set which includes a necklace, a pair of earrings and a ring in Fairmined-certified ethical gold. Whether worn together or separate, the entire collection has us singing, “All I Want For Your Christmas Is You.”
