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

Emma Chamberlain is indisputably one of Gen Z’s true “It” girls. Since stepping onto the scene with YouTube as a 16-year-old, the social media star has launched her own entrepreneurial ventures, including her own coffee company, Chamberlain Coffee, and serving as creative director of beauty line Bad Habit Beauty. She is also an ambassador for Louis Vuitton, attending its fashion shows and wearing its women’s wear frequently. Chamberlain’s grasp on fashion is noteworthy, and while she has always been known to dress herself well, this year has marked a significant one for her. She made her Met Gala debut and attended Paris Fashion Week once more, all with the help of her stylist Jared Ellner. The two first met when Ellner helped style the YouTuber for a shoot for Garage Magazine two years ago, while he was still working there as an assistant to the fashion director. “We just hit it off — I loved her,” Ellner told WWD. “It was an incredible day.” Afterward, her publicist asked if he wante

Home to millions of trendsetters, creatives and young entrepreneurs, New York City is a place where fashion and style comes to life every single day. Densely packed with unique personalities, there’s a reason that New York holds a special place both for those who live there and who visit. And with many different neighborhoods to consider, each with their own charm, the city holds a unique energy that both inspires and is inspired by the entire globe – an energy that keeps New York Men and Women setting the trends. According to New York retail managers, when it comes to jewelry, the key to capturing a New Yorker’s attention is versatility. New Yorkers are always on the go – whether traveling locally or abroad or going from daytime meetings to evening cocktails – and when they shop for jewelry, they are looking for pieces that are easy to wear but still special. “Being a New York City retailer, I have served both local and international clients,” said one store manager. “New Yorkers like

There are so many options, so how do you sift through the inventory and select a robe you’ll love? To help, we consulted two luxury spa experts.

Jasmine Samano, spa director at Verbena Spa at the Austin Proper Hotel, agrees. “In my view, the single most important consideration is whether or not the robe is made from 100% natural fiber cotton, and where the cotton coming from,” she says.

While COVID-19 continues to be a challenge, the designer tells WWD that it’s given him and his business partner, Shqiprim Mujaj, time to experiment with the direction for Sen5e’s new drops. The pair were able to explore fabrics and designs, while remaining tunnel-visioned. “Every concept has a story to it all. It’s original and refreshing. All of our ideas are made from scratch.

Ctzn Cosmetics saw a huge surge of interest in the brand Monday night due to a TikTok video that made its website crash. 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. The video is a stitch of fellow beauty influencer Erin Dugan Jurchak’s original video raving about the products, which she refers to as the “perfect nude lip combo for every skin tone.” Nogueira stitches the video to show herself trying her own nude lip combo, explaining that the Ctzn Cosmetics’ website has a quiz where you input your skin tone and eye color, as well as your color preferences, like a deep nude or light nude color.

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.
