If you haven’t heard, summer 2024 is, musically, for the girls, and Towa Bird officially throws her hat in the ring Friday. “I am really enjoying The Japanese House. She’s a great songwriter. I love Remi Wolf and her voice. I think she’s amazing. Just, like, the girls,” Bird says of what she’s been listening to as of late. “I love Chappell [Roan]. I love Charli [XCX]’s new album. I listened to a little bit of Normani’s album yesterday, and that’s so fun. Yeah. I love the girls.” Ask anyone else, and Bird’s name would likely be added to that list of recent listens. The 25-year-old has been on a steady climb the last few years, catapulted lately by her touring appearances with girlfriend Reneé Rapp. After two years in the making, Bird’s debut album “American Hero” drops Friday.  Bird will have returned back to Los Angeles from a week of press in Australia, just in time to celebrate the release properly: “I’m going to hopefully have a party and get aggressively drunk,” she s...

For his big night as a draftee into the NBA, Colorado Buffaloes star Cody Williams — and his brother, Oklahoma City player Jalen Williams — worked with Rhude on custom suits, marking the first time Rhude has dressed a player for the NBA draft. Both suits were made from English refined wool fabric and were finished with Italian craftsmanship. They are inspired by Rhude designer Rhuigi Villaseñor’s fall 2024 collection, called “Out of Range,” which “was inspired by the rich elegance of the English countryside, and a touch of modern fits,” the brand said. “This is the first time I’ve really put on a suit to this magnitude, a suit that’s this nice,” Cody said earlier in the day ahead of the draft, where he would go on to be selected by the Utah Jazz. “I’m really looking forward to being on the red carpet for the first time and really stepping out into the fashion world.” Cody Williams getting ready for the NBA Draft in Rhude. He described his final look as a summer take on the brand’s fall...

“I’ve seen so many crazy suits I didn’t want my suit to be remembered for the wrong reasons,” said Stephon Castle of his fashion thought process heading into his NBA draft night. “Simple but not too simple” was how Castle described his final look, a sentiment that applied to many of the looks Wednesday evening at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where round one of the 2024 NBA Draft was held (the second round will be held Thursday at Barclays, marking the first time they’ve been split across two days). Only a handful of the players on Wednesday said they worked with stylists on their look, while a couple worked directly with brands (Cody Williams and Rhude, Alex Sarr and Versace). For many others, family and friends came to the rescue.  “My mother picked this out,” said Matas Buzelis of his strong shoulder look. “I don’t like to do a lot [fashion wise], I like that it’s very simple.”  His interpretation of simple still managed to be high fashion: “YSL pinstripes, Tom Ford tie, YSL...

At the moment, Rapman’s superpower is patience. It’s late May and the filmmaker is eagerly awaiting Thursday’s release of “Supacell,” his new superhero series for Netflix that is set in South London and features an all-Black cast. “I’m kind of counting down the days like a kid at Christmas right now,” says Rapman, nee Andrew Onwubolu, from his home in London. “Supacell,” which was created, written, produced and codirected by Onwubolu, is the follow-up to his buzzy feature-length directorial debut “Blue Story.” The film was released in the U.K. in late 2019 with a U.S. theatrical release to follow in 2020, shortly after the film’s lead Micheal Ward won the BAFTA EE Rising Star award. The pandemic altered the film’s runway, but didn’t curtail Onwubolu’s ascent.  Onwubolu turned his focus to writing “Supacell,” based on a simple premise: “I wanted to make something about normal people with powers,” he says. The series was greenlit by Netflix in 2021, and began production in 2022....

Up-and-coming actress Ryan Destiny made her Dior Couture debut this week in Paris, taking in the latest collection from the brand.  Destiny, who is best known for her role in Lee Daniels’ Fox series “Star,” will be seen this Christmas in Amazon MGM’s biopic “The Fire Inside,” in which she portrays boxer Claressa “T-Rex” Shields. The film is written by Barry Jenkins and tells the story of Shields, who became the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing and the first American boxer (male or female) ever to win gold in back-to-back Olympic Games. Destiny’s portrayal has been called one of the “most anticipated movie performances of 2024” by Variety.  With the fall bringing premieres and awards season events, it only makes sense to start things off fashion-wise at Paris Couture. Styled by Scot Louie for the Dior Couture show, the 29-year-old wore a “timeless Dior” look that had her feeling “sultry and feminine.” For glam, Destiny worked with Hos Hounkpatin on ha...

Whether it’s a pilates princess aesthetic or tenniscore-inspired styling, the best workout clothes for women have become trends in and of themselves for 2024. Take a look around your local workout studio or gym, and we’d bet you’ll agree: Women’s workout clothes have never been more aligned with fashion trends, turning your treadmill session into a personal catwalk. Just like workout clothing’s recent strides in style, performance technology has swiftly advanced in just a few short years: Most brands now offer moisture-wicking fabrications that not only keep you dry, but also regulate body temperature while you’re hard at work reaching new PRs, like Nike’s Dri-Fit line or Lululemon’s cult-favorite leggings. On the high-tech front, you can also find activewear with GPS tracking, heart rate monitors, or extra supportive smart fabrications that cradle muscle...

Avril Lavigne was back in the front row this week, this time in Paris for the latest couture shows. Lavigne’s itinerary included Iris van Herpen and Tamara Ralph, the latter of which she documented for WWD. Lavigne was “still thinking about the [Iris van Herpen] show” while getting ready for Tamara Ralph. The musician accessorized her Tamara Ralph show look with a small glossy black clutch and a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps. “These Christian Louboutins sure are different than what I have been wearing at the festivals,” she said.  Following the show, Lavigne gushed over the designs.  “I was so blown away by each piece on the runway,” she said of the collection. “Each was so dreamy and unique from the other. I want to wear each of her dresses.” After the show, she made her way backstage. “Meeting Tamara after [the show] was wonderful. I couldn’t stop talking about all the looks I loved,” Lavigne said.  Lavigne is one of many stars who has descended upon Paris for...

What if your most chic, connected friend had the doors open to their well-appointed apartment in SoHo for you to call home while staying in New York? If that friend welcomed you home at the end of the day with aperitivo and laid out local pastries and international newspapers for you each morning? And if, while in residence, you were surrounded by hand-done inlaid tiles, bespoke Italian furniture and dramatic murals?  Such is the concept behind The Manner, a new luxury hotel set to open at 58 Thompson Street this September from The Standard Hotel team (in other words: get your fashion week bookings in now).  The hotel is spearheaded by Amar Lalvani, the executive chairman of Standard International, and is intended to feel more like a private members club than a traditional hotel. It seeks to be the more grown-up sister to The Standard’s properties; those who used to frequent the Boom Boom Room a decade ago atop The Standard, High Line might find The Manner more their speed tod...

As summer’s official kickoff, June ushers in a slew of new beauty essentials for sunny season.

You don’t have to be on board with the stealth wealth movement to appreciate a gorgeously-constructed, goes-with-everything handbag — particularly one that has a four-figure look but rings in at under $300. After spotting Freja New York handbags tucked on the shoulders of tastemakers like Katie Holmes and Hailey Bieber, I decided to road test one of the brand’s buzziest styles: Freja’s Mini Chrystie Handbag, which is newly available in a soft sage color for summer. For those unfamiliar with the brand, here’s a quick primer: Freja New York launched in 2020 with 300 units of just one handbag, the Linnea Tote, which brand founder Jenny Lei designed to fill a void she saw when looking for a stylish, spacious laptop bag to carry to an interview. Slowly and steadily, Freja expanded its offering of chic, minimalist, and vegan leather accessories to include bucke...

Clinical skin care has a new entrant. Dr. Marnie Nussbaum is the latest dermatologist to get into the skin care game with her brand, Lines, which debuts on the brand’s website in coming weeks with three products. They range in price from $45 to $95. The idea for Lines came to Nussbaum after years of homing her skills in aesthetic dermatology, when she noticed a growing appetite for skin care — and a growing confusion around products — in equal measure. “Once patients start aesthetic intervention, they become a different consumer. They want to know, now that they’ve invested in their skin, what to use to maintain it,” Nussbaum said. “We don’t want to use too many steps in a routine with single ingredients, because the third and fourth, for example, won’t penetrate the skin like the first and second.” All of the products, therefore, boast a heavy-hitting roster of active ingredients. The Wrinkle Pen can be used all over facial lines, and is formulated with peptides, collagen and bakuchio...

Originating a role on Broadway, a Tony Award, “Sweeney Todd.” This month, Aaron Tveit is checking another item off his New York performer bucket list: a residency at Café Carlyle.  His solo show at the iconic uptown venue has been several years in the making, with Tveit waiting for the right moment to make it a reality. “The Carlyle really has seemed like this beacon of a place to perform as a New Yorker,” says Tveit. “I didn’t want to simply throw a show together for The Carlyle. It felt like a place to do a new show.” Timing, as they say, is everything. The beloved Broadway tenor signed on to take over the lead role in “Sweeney Todd” this spring, and his Café Carlyle residency was announced — and quickly extended — to debut the month after the show’s closure.  “I felt like ‘Sweeney’ was a step in a new direction, and a little more serious and a little more adult than some of the other stuff that I had done,” Tveit says. “So it seemed like a really nice pairing to go from tha...

After two years in development, cameos in Bieber’s ‘Get Ready With Me’ TikTok posts, and hundreds of comments begging for more info about how she gets her signature glowy cheek look, the Rhode Pocket Blush is officially available to shop. The new Rhode blush is technically the second color cosmetic from the brand, but it’s the first time Bieber has ventured into the cheek category (one that she’s poised to have much success in, after coining blush-heavy trends like “strawberry makeup“). True to Rhode’s approach to face serums and moisturizers, the Pocket Blushes are created with ingredients that work with the skin barrier for a healthier, more resilient complexion in the long run. Peptides work to firm skin, while antioxidant-rich tamanu oil provides hydration and a silky texture. Rhode’s ...

The star of “Lempicka,” Eden Espinosa, kept it a family affair on Sunday. The actress, who was nominated for a Tony for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Tamara de Lempicka, was joined by her parents while getting ready for the big night. While Espinosa wore a Dolce & Gabbana gown, her parents each donned something equally festive: “Lempicka” show merch.  “They are the cutest. Always loving and supporting me,” Espinosa said.  Espinosa was styled by Jake Sokoloff and had her hair and makeup done by Kat Nejat. “There is always laughter when I’m getting ready with Kat,” she said. “We have been friends for years in the industry. She used to be an actress, singer, dancer on Broadway and has now pivoted into doing makeup and hair. We have been together for every event we have had this season and not only is she the best at what she does, but she is the most kind and fun to be around.” Espinosa and her parents took a “moment of prayer to give thanks and get centered” befo...

The spirit of ease seeps into everything we do this season — whether it’s opting for a breezy shirt dress instead of stuffy jeans or stripping back our beauty routines to the bare minimum. That ‘less is more’ approach to glam we take this time of year doesn’t mean your beauty routine has to be boring, particularly when you seize one of this summer’s best beauty kits that feature cool brand collaborations and add-on goods like tote bags and makeup cases.

An international art and architecture expert from Louis Vuitton, now at Palm Springs Art Museum, promises to bring new buzz to the California desert community that has long been a destination for Hollywood, fashion and design enthusiasts. Louis Vuitton’s former global director of art, culture and heritage Christine Vendredi joined the museum in April as chief curator, bringing with her 12 years of experience working in Paris with Fondation Louis Vuitton director Suzanne Page; chairman and chief executive officer of Louis Vuitton Fashion Group Michael Burke; designers Virgil Abloh and Nicolas Ghesquière, and others, including brainstorming architecturally significant locations for the brand’s destination cruise shows. At LV, Vendredi managed the corporate art collection displayed in 475 stores, and oversaw art commissions and programming at Louis Vuitton art spaces around the world, including the Espace Louis Vuitton in Tokyo where she was director for four years, giving her a unique va...

At age 17, Constance Jablonski moved from the northern French countryside to New York City to pursue her modeling career. Since then she has not only become known as one of the most sought-after talents in the industry for nearly two decades — posing on the covers of leading fashion magazines and in advertising campaigns for brands spanning from Hermès and Calvin Klein to J.Crew; walking numerous catwalks, and serving as a global ambassador for Estée Lauder and face of Guerlain’s Abeille Royale skin care range, to name a few — but also for her personal style that blends classic Parisian chic with casual ease and hints of novelty. In 2021, the model also became an entrepreneur with the launch of French Bloom (founded by Jablonski and close friend Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger), a sparkling nonalcoholic alternative to bubbly Champagne. The zero-proof wine alternative is now seen at global retailers, eateries and locales as high-profile, or mainstay, to fashion enthusiasts as Jablonski’s pe...

Summer dressing is all about ease and elegance, but should also prioritize versatility — from day to night, work to vacay, and everything in between. Although cute summer outfits evoke effortless style, curating your summer capsule wardrobe requires a bit more behind-the-scenes forethought, so we styled five on-trend looks to lend a healthy dose of summer outfit inspiration. The dog days of summer are often the busiest time of the year, as may find yourself flitting from the office to rooftop dinners, scrambling a suitcase together for a weekend getaway, or moving through a stacked roster of summer weddings.

At the Pebble Bar after party hosted by Kelli O’Hara and Arian Moayed, Paulson, who won for her role in “Appropriate,” posed with her Tony the entire night, biting it and holding it up to flashing cameras. She also laid across her costar Corey Stoll for several pics. Nearby, Elle Fanning, dressed in a black pantsuit and stilettos, was perched on a piano bench, sipping a martini and chatting with friends, while “An Enemy of the People” star Victoria Pedretti seemed to be avoiding cameras. While guests had four floors to explore at the Pebble Bar nearly every attendee landed on the top floor, where the music was loud, the drinks were flowing and the crowd was packed in. O’Hara, sporting a high ponytail and “Barbie” pink gown, mingled with guests including her “Days of Wine and Roses” costar Brian d’Arcy James. Throughout the evening, she also shared intimate moments with Tony winners Billy Porter, who went full glam with a glittery smokey eye, sparkly lip and diamond hair accessory, and ...

Sunday night, Broadway’s elite — from Daniel Radcliffe to Alicia Keys to host Ariana DeBose — gathered at the Lincoln Center in New York City for the 77th annual Tony Awards. For many, the great white way brings to mind images of New York City, so it was fitting that Keys, dressed in a matching Gucci set, took to the stage with the “Hell’s Kitchen” cast to sing her iconic song “Empire State of Mind” during the show. But perhaps as a surprise to many in the audience and at home, Jay-Z joined her…though not on the stage but on a staircase in the lobby of the Lincoln Center.  The glitz didn’t stop there. Theater icons, like Josh Gad, Idina Menzel, Ben Platt and Cynthia Erivo, took to the stage to present. Famed producers Hillary Clinton, who received a standing ovation, and Angelina Jolie introduced the performances of their respective musicals “Suffs” and “The Outsiders,” which took home the Tony for best musical. Attendees ran the gamut, including Brooke Shields, newly appointed to ...

Paris will be feverish with the Olympic Games this summer, but even the greatest enthusiasts need to take a break from watching sports. Here’s a look at some of the latest hotels, restaurants and shops to visit during those moments of down time. Stay The strata of history that saw ancient Lutèce evolve into cosmopolitan Paris inspired the design of the Grand Cœur Latin hotel. Architect Vincent Bastie and interior designer Marie-Paule Clout played on the idea of layered cultural influences throughout the seven floors housed in a 19th-century building, the renovation of which saw the intervention of Paris’ archaeology department. Among the highlights is the 50-foot pool, and its facilities nod to Roman baths. Tucked away on a side street leading to the Champs-Élysées, Le Balzac has the feel of a breezy Parisian town house and shares its address with three-Michelin-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire. After its complete overhaul signed by French architectural duo Festen, this ...

MILAN — The world’s most discerning art collectors will descend, once again, on Capri’s Marina Piccola and Marina Grande during the first week of July for the 14th edition of the Nomad Design Fair. The invite-only itinerant art and design showcase takes over unexpected, glamorous locations and brings emerging and established galleries, as well as unique projects, together under one roof — think creations from New York’s Friedman Benda, David Gill Gallery from London, Nilufar Gallery from Milan, and Etage Projects from Copenhagen. “It’s not a little group,” says Nomad cofounder Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte. “It is a massive yacht show basically happening in Marina Piccola and Marina Grande. You have like 100 of them. It’s crazy. From the U.S., from Qatar, all around the world. They’re all there that week.” From July 4 to 7, Nomad will unfold in Dolce Vita-style at the oldest historical building on the island of Capri, Carthusian Certosa di San Giacomo. Perched on a verdant cliff, it was ...

It was only 100 meters. It took less than 50 seconds, 47.02 to be exact. But it changed everything. When Caeleb Dressel touched the wall six-tenths of a second ahead of Kyle Chalmers, the decorated Australian swimmer, in the 100-meter freestyle at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021, he solidified his place at the apex of the sport. “His legacy is set as one of the greatest, if not the greatest American sprinter in history,” says Rowdy Gaines, the veteran NBC Sports analyst who won his own gold medal in the event at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. “And that’s saying a lot.” In America, which has dominated swimming on the world stage for generations, the names that transcend the sport, with some notable exceptions (Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky), have been sprinters who won the 100 free. It requires speed but also strength and superhuman endurance. The start is critical, and so is the turn at the wall. If a swimmer is too long in the turn, it is virtually impossible to make u...

From summer whites to nautical stripes, dressing for the warm weather season can be predictable, even a bore. Not this summer. It’s time to think outside your usual crayon box of wardrobe colors for colorblocking combinations that pair sensual, sophisticated hues with invigorating pops of color. Think rich, earthy autumnal shades put together with light, refreshing pastel tints, all completed by finishing touches of bold brights. Color us crazy, but this unexpected color palette — one that painted many of the fashions and beauty looks of the spring 2024 designer collections — makes summer dressing a breeze with an air of refined ease. This rarity of a color story embraced by several luxury labels can be seen as a natural progression to feed the consumer’s desire for something new and wearable while not straying too far from fashion’s minimalist aesthetic ...

MAC Cosmetics closed out Thursday right where it began — literally. The makeup giant drew a star- and executive-studded crowd for its Billion Dollar Ball Wednesday night, which took place a mere stone’s throw away from the New York Stock Exchange where executives and celebrity spokespeople started the day by ringing the opening bell. Kim Petras and Danna Paola, current MAC Viva Glam ambassadors, were among the famed attendees, who quickly shuffled to the basement of the old J.P. Morgan bank building, where bumping bass could be heard from the streets. “I’m expecting a lot of fabulous people, and a lot of fabulous glam,” said model Alex Consani, the event’s cohost, nodding to the out-there makeup looks, impossibly high heels and headpieces attendees were sporting. “It will be the coolest group of people.” Other attendees included Normani, past brand collaborator Teyana Taylor and Lil’ Kim. As for Taylor’s favorite MAC product? “My very own line,” she said. “All the creative freedom,...

Earlier this month, “House of the Dragon” star Ewan Mitchell found himself in New Jersey, ringside for a UFC fight. “I heard that it was Dustin Poirier’s last fight — I was like, I need to see him,” says the British actor, going on to describe the experience of being close enough to hear the punches thrown and the takedowns reverberate. Mitchell, who started boxing himself two years ago, credits HBO for helping to hook him up with seats: a perk of being part of the network’s marquee shows. The actor was in town with his castmates ahead of the New York premiere of the second season of “House of the Dragon.”  The actor stars in the “Game of Thrones”-adjacent series as Prince Aemond Targaryen, a tragic semi-villain. The actor has emerged as a fan favorite for his portrayal of the one-eyed prince, who was neglected and bullied as a child but emerges into adulthood with a firm sense of power — and, after being denied his own dragon egg, the most powerful dragon around. “You’ve got this ...

Nicola Coughlan’s custom Rodarte gown at the “Bridgerton” Season Three Part Two premiere featured a blush-toned twist on bridal attire.

Coughlan completed her look with diamond and ruby Chopard jewels.

Camila Cabello made a glittering appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday.
