As Seen On Vex: 26 Years of Celebrity Latex Moments

From red carpets to music videos to magazine covers — a working archive of where Vex has shown up over a quarter century. The artists, the events, the press.

Vex has dressed performers, actors, models, and public figures since 2000. Some are one-off custom commissions. Some are touring wardrobes that ran for years. Some are editorial collaborations that became magazine covers. This is the working list — updated as new placements happen.

26 years of celebrity placements
100+ named public figures dressed
20+ international press features

Red carpet, premieres, and event wardrobes

Kim Kardashian Jimmy Fallon, Kylie Cosmetics campaign, multiple appearances · 2024–2025

Vex's Pamela Dress in a long black silhouette became one of Kim's signature appearances in the material — open back, kick pleat, hand-built in our California studio. Subsequent appearances on The Tonight Show and in Kylie Cosmetics campaign material kept Vex in the rotation of her latex moments.

Niecy Nash-Betts Red carpet & press tour · 2024–2025

A chapter of its own

Styled to Rock — 2013

In 2013, Laura Pulice was selected as one of the design competitors on Bravo's Styled to Rock, the Rihanna-produced fashion competition series. Across the season, Laura designed looks worn on stage by Kylie Minogue, Miley Cyrus, Carly Rae Jepsen, Nervo, The Band Perry, and Rihanna herself.

The show put Vex's design language in front of millions and was the inflection point that transitioned the brand from a niche American latex studio to a name that celebrity stylists called first. Twelve years later, Vex is in the wardrobes of Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash, Tessa Thompson, and the next generation of artists who watched that season as teenagers.

The visibility from Styled to Rock opened the door. The two decades of handmade work that came before it is what kept Vex on the inside once celebrities walked through.
