Gothic Beauty 59 Release Party Ultra Sunn
Gothic Beauty Magazine celebrated the release of Gothic Beauty Box 59 and Gothic Beauty Magazine 59 with a night of terrific dark tunes, community spirit, and cool giveaways with Ultra Sunn headlining at Bizarre Bar in Las Vegas on April 21, 2026. The newly renovated Bizarre Bar, with its vibes of dark academia and art school chic, provided the perfect backdrop for our gothic gathering.
Guests arrived dressed to impress for the Gothic Beauty red carpet, and they brought the full range of dark style with them. The evening was a testament to the breadth and boldness of the gothic community’s wardrobe: sleek PVC bodysuits and zip-front latex minis paired with thigh-high lace-up boots, sheer black mesh maxi dresses worn over corsetry, structured leather harnesses layered over black tanks, floor-grazing velvet wraps, studded moto jackets, and flowing long coats with dramatic corset-laced panels. Vivid hair colors of fiery red, deep violet, and platinum white turned heads at the photo wall, alongside richly inked tattoos worn as accessories in their own right, statement lips in dark navy and oxblood, and bold eye looks that leaned into the theatrical. Even the more casual contingent kept faith with the aesthetic, arriving in horror and metal band tees, ripped black denim, and well-worn combat boots.
Gothic Beauty Magazine 59 features Chain Cult’s sustainable chainmail designs by Meri Lujan, the baroque floral artistry of Arcane Arrangements by Charles Berger, a gothic Salem vow renewal, and a Lip Service editorial showcasing their signature strappy black PVC and hardware. The issue also includes an exclusive interview with the band Solar Fake, plus spotlights on Pixel Grip, Dove Cameron, Ministry, and Yungblud and more.
The release party was made possible by sponsors Lip Service, the legendary LA-based pioneers of gothic, punk, and rock fashion since 1985; Dark Asteroid Pretty, creators of the viral sensation Ghostly white foundation and luxury alternative cosmetics; LashyDoodle, makers of the ultra black pressed powder Doom Dust goth makeup essential; and Zinetastic, the independent publishing platform that distributes Gothic Beauty Magazine and the Gothic Beauty Box. Brussels darkwave duo Ultra Sunn played an incredible set, after warmup by VII Ghost and Spelling Hands, with DJ Night Weapons keeping up the energy with an unusual mix in between acts.
Gothic Beauty Magazine Issue 59 is available now in print and digital editions, and as part of the Gothic Beauty Box, at Zinetastic.com.
