Lauren Halsey and Google Shopping Host Dinner During Art Basel Miami Beach

As she welcomed guests into dinner on Thursday evening, Google Shopping’s Stephanie Horton began by addressing the biggest theme of the week. “Welcome, thank you. I know the traffic’s awful,” Horton, the company’s senior director of global consumer marketing, said to the room. Those who had successfully battled Miami’s notoriously bad traffic during Art Basel week included Mickalene Thomas, Savannah James, Ravyn Lenae, Kimberly Drew, Yvonne Force Villareal and George Wells, who had gathered inside the Matador Room at The Edition on Miami Beach for a private dinner celebrating artist Lauren Halsey. Sadly, the artist herself was unable to travel for a medical emergency, and sent word via Gagosian’s Kathy Paciello. “Nothing would’ve made me happier than hanging in Miami with all of you tonight, celebrating and sharing this moment together,” Halsey had written in. “This is our fourth year during this event and I think for me the best part, it’s the ability to honor so many amazing artists ...

The 14 Best Under-Eye Patches That Can Fake a Great Night’s Sleep, Vetted by Editors

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Newsflash: A pair of under-eye masks isn’t going to change your life or make you look 10 years younger. But anything that helps you take care of your skin and have fun in the process is a good thing. To our editors, the best under-eye patches are prized accessories in a well-rounded skin care routine — and self-care routine, for that matter (something that’s important year-round, but especially during winter). Compared to other areas of the complexion, the skin around our eyes is delicate and thin. This means that the facial region is often the first to show signs of fatigue, dehydration, and a poor night’s sleep — manifesting in swelling, dullness, dark circles, or a combination of the three. Under-eye patches are designed to be targeted treatments that bless their users with a quicker relief for their skin concerns than what’s to be e...

When Upside-down Logic Makes Sense

The Hungarian Countess Louise J. Esterhazy was a revered — and feared — chronicler of the highs — and generally lows — of fashion, society, culture and more. It seems the Esterhazy clan by nature is filled with strong opinions, because WWD Weekend has been contacted by the Countess’ long-lost nephew, the Baron Louis J. Esterhazy, who has written from Europe to express his abhorrence of numerous modern fashion and cultural developments. The Baron’s pen is as sharp as his late aunt’s and here is his latest column on logic — or the lack thereof. Over the years I am frequently knocked sideways and often amused at what one can only best describe as wildly “odd ball” logic. Yet many a time there’s a weird type of intellectual rigor about it, despite it being entirely wrong.I recently was chatting with a Turkish friend who has lived in the U.S. for years. She described how she was accompanying her aged parents on a road trip down the Eastern Seaboard. At one point, with her...

Dakota Johnson Goes Strapless in Valentino for the Red Sea International Film Festival 2025 Red Carpet

Dakota Johnson nodded to the cutout trend with her Valentino dress at the Red Sea International Film Festival opening night red carpet on Thursday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The “Splittsville” star wore a strapless black dress with a plunging neckline and cutouts at either side of the waistline, transitioning to a cutout between the bodice and skirt at the back. Black fabric bound the bodice and sleek skirt together, while a thigh-high slit up the front of the skirt added further dimension to the overall look.
