The Young Hollywood collection was released today with a one hour delay compared to the time announced yesterday on Instagram. The release was supposed to happen at 6:00 PM CEST, but it actually was released at 7:00 PM CEST (with a few minutes of delay). At least they added a countdown on Instagram, so we could check the correct release time.

At first, the store appeared with three new floors, showcasing outfits inspired by the Grammy Awards 2026 and the Golden Globes 2026. However, some players noticed that there were more items listed in the catalogue. Shortly after, Stardoll posted on Instagram explaining that the fourth floor had a technical issue and it was released almost one hour after the official store launch.

 

Another issue in this release was related to the special offer Lady Gaga Dress announced yesterday. For a short time, the dress was mistakenly released as part of the collection and was available for purchase, but it’s no longer possible to get it now.

What are your thoughts on the outfit choices? I personally bought more pieces than I thought I would, and I really expected them to include the Golden Globe statuette this time, especially since we’ve had other award items in past releases. Now we’ll have to wait and see if it shows up next year.

Love is in the air! With the start of February, we finally got the release of the new OotM themed “Feel the Love” (although, sadly, it seems to be receiving a lot of hate from some players).

The outfits chosen for this month were suggested by the dolls ashilei and riane. One brings a more sexy vibe, while the other goes for a fairytale-like aesthetic, still keeping the look romantic.

Ashilei’s outfit has 7 pieces and costs a total of 117sc and 77sd with the Royalty discount. The downside is that there’s no jewelry included, but at least the accessories are quite nice.

Riane’s look includes 6 pieces, priced at 108sc and 71sd, also with the Royalty discount. The earrings are beautiful, and I wish we had some additional jewelry to match, but it’s understandable that they weren’t included in the original concept since the cape would cover most of it anyway.

This time, there aren’t any items available for male dolls. For March, the OotM theme will be “Spring Awakening”. The deadline to send outfit suggestions on Instagram or Facebook is February 20th.

Will you be submitting any looks for it?

It’s no longer news that this week’s tribute release was inspired by Valentino. It’s also not the first time we’ve had a tribute dedicated to the brand, but this one was requested as a homage to Valentino, who passed away recently.

The store has the usual three floors and also features a new interior inspired by the catwalk from the Valentino FW25 fashion show. The collection includes clothing inspired by the Resort 25, Ready-to-Wear SS26, Ready-to-Wear FW25 and Pre-Fall 25 and 26 collections, as well as a few pieces that weren’t shown on the runway but can be found in the brand’s online store.

This time, the only starcoins items are the Green Cat Eye Valentino Sunglasses and the Cherries Gold Earrings on the second floor. The pieces are cute, but I wish they had included at least one more sc item, like in the other tributes released so far this season.

We also received a special free gift for everyone who logs in during the week: a poster featuring Valentino, which was a nice tribute (I was hoping for something similar for Armani as well, who also passed away not long ago), along with the usual special offer for stardollars and superstar purchases.

The 2016 throwback trend is going a bit too far, because it looks like it has even reached Stardoll. Today, we were surprised by the comeback of the 10 HotBuys. 

The HotBuys returned revamped, with a new logo and new shopping bags delivered to our suites when we purchase the items this Friday (wish the bags were available for purchase as well).

I’m not sure if this is a coincidence with the tribute season, but (almost) all of the items are inspired by Prada, making the release feel like a mini tribute. The drop also includes a decor item, the dog, which brings back memories of when Stardoll used to include decor pieces in the monthly HotBuys as well back in the old days. That nostalgic touch was really nice to see.

What do you think about this comeback?

Yesterday, the newest addition to Starplaza was a new Pretty n Love collection. 

The collection has a romantic touch, while also bringing in some hints of green mixed with the pink palette. There are a total of 27 new items, but some of them have BP and male versions, which makes the collection looks bigger. I really liked this release, there are so many cute pieces that fit the essence of the store perfectly and they’re very well illustrated. 

What are your thoughts on it? Did you get anything, or is it not really your style?
