From Skin Patches to Haircare, These Are the K-Beauty Products That Are Actually Popular in Korea

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. K-beauty has gone from a niche category to a global industry, with Korean skin care, fragrances, wellness products, makeup, and haircare now being fixtures on shelves around the world. In 2025, South Korea exported a record $11.43 billion worth of cosmetics to over 200 countries, and it’s safe to say beauty giants took notice. Sephora and Ulta now maintain dedicated K-beauty sections online, besides carrying extensive selections in their brick-and-mortar locations as well. Much of the K-beauty momentum can be linked to Korean beauty influencers and content creators on social media, not to mention K-pop stars: whose routines and product recommendations have helped introduce Korean beauty to audiences far beyond the country. I first understood the appeal of K-beauty when I became an Emirates cabin crew member. My colleagues w...

Chloë Sevigny and Mytheresa Host Cocktail Party at Hotel Chelsea

Chloë Sevigny is the unofficial high priestess of New York Fashion Week parties, and things just don’t feel right until she’s helmed an event.  On Saturday night, Mytheresa took over Café Chelsea for a cocktail party with Sevigny, who fronts their latest fall campaign.  The party took over the many rooms of the hotel’s restaurant, where guests could plop into booths and enjoy passing french fries, or mingle with a martini near DJ Jade Croo. Coups of pink Champagne were stacked into a tower, and around 10 p.m. trays of espresso martinis made the rounds. Sevigny held court tucked into a corner with friends, while other guests including Jennifer Fisher, Fernando Garcia, The Elevator Boys, Jonathan Simkhai and Charlotte Groenveld popped by. Friends chatted social media strategies, asked each other to snap candids, and plotted game plans on how to navigate the rest of the week. After all, we still have a few long days ahead.  Follo...

Saoirse Ronan Brings Subdued Minimalism to the 2026 Venice Film Festival

Saoirse Ronan brought subdued elegance and modern minimalism to the 2026 Venice Film Festival on Thursday in a custom Louis Vuitton gown. The Oscar-nominated actress wore a navy, long-sleeve dress with a rounded neckline. The gown’s restraint made its few design twists more pronounced: an exposed zipper curved along one side of the bodice, while a thigh-high slit opened the skirt. Saoirse Ronan Getty Images Much like her dress, Ronan’s glam and accessories were similarly pared back. The actress wore silver and diamond ear cuffs, while her hair was slicked back with piecey fringe framing her face. Her makeup included bold brows and lined eyes that emphasized her blue irises, along with a soft pink lip. Saoirse Ronan Getty Images Ronan, known for her modern minimalism, ...
