Being a news anchor at a time of cratering trust in the media has its challenges. Like having Trump-ian insults hurled at you on social media — or a New York City sidewalk. But Lester Holt is fully committed to the at-times-Sisyphean-task of changing hearts and minds. “We’re going to have to just keep pushing forward, and being good,” he says. Pushing forward is something of a trademark for Holt, who has been “Nightly News” anchor and managing editor since 2015 and helmed “Dateline” since 2011. In fact, Holt’s unyielding work ethic is legendary at NBC News, where his typically marathon stretches on the anchor desk during breaking news earned him the sobriquet “Iron Pants.” Today, he’s still in the office most days in time for the 9:30 a.m. news meeting and may not leave until 10 p.m., if the West Coast feed of “Nightly” needs updating. During the pandemic, he started a weekly digital “Nightly” newscast for kids, and also began to write and deliver periodic essays on “Nightly News.” He ...

The beauty brand’s website crashed after a viral TikTok from beauty influencer Mikayla Nogueira, who posted a video where she reviews the Ctzn Cosmetics line of nude lipsticks.

If makeshift quarantine haircuts taught us anything, it’s just how valuable (re: essential) our hairdressers truly are. ‘Tis the season to show your undying gratitude, so what better way to say thank you for their services (not to mention all the life chats you’ve exchanged in their magical chairs) than with one of the best gifts for hairdressers money can buy? While the generous tips you add to your tab are greatly appreciated and go a long way, nothing says “happy holidays” than a gift you weren’t expecting to receive. This is especially true of hairdressers, notes Devin Toth, a hairstylist at Salon SCK in New York City. “Hairdressers spend so much time taking care of people that they often forget to take care of themselves,” Toth tells WWD. “To be the receiver of a service [or gift] instead of the provider reminds them of how it feels to be taken care of.” Granted, shopping for the hairstylist on your list can be tricky; what you buy will ultimately depend on the relationship you ha...
