If you’ve always scoffed at people who have their Christmas tree up by Halloween, it’s time to be a bit more open-minded this year.

For costume designer Kate Hawley, working with director Guillermo del Toro on “Frankenstein” wasn’t just an invitation to have a seat at his creative table. “He always talks about the department heads as being legs of his table. We are all one with the other,” says Hawely, who previously worked with the director on “Crimson Peak.” “When he asks you to do something, you know that it’s going to be rich and that it’s gonna be a rewarding collaboration,” she adds. The sartorial world of “Frankenstein” is an extension of the film’s saturated, Gothic atmosphere. “There’s all these themes of religion and mythologies with Medusas,” says Hawley, adding that Del Toro “didn’t just want a sea of black Victorian, Dickensian top hats.” The costume designer was tasked with dressing well-known characters like experimental scientist Victor Frankenstein, his Creature-creation, and love interest Elizabeth. “There’s a huge amount of world building within each character,” says Hawley. Sometimes, her entran...

On Wednesday evening, Chanel took over new New York hot spot Chateau Royale for an intimate dinner in celebration of their newly launched Première Galon watch. Joining in were Sarah Pidgeon, Riley Keough, Tessa Thompson, Lucy Boynton, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Justine Skye, Paloma Elsesser, Devon Lee Carlson, Athena Calderone, Beverly Nguyen, Chloe Wise, Coco Baudelle, Kate Young and more.

The red carpet is evolving, and so are the rules of cosmetic care. While some public figures are increasingly open about cosmetic procedures, many actors still favor discretion and staying naturally expressive on camera. As the stars get ready for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards — to honor the best of television, on Sept. 14 at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles — the latest routines have become a mix of strategic treatments, subtle enhancements and wellness practices, with preparation starting months in advance. “Good cosmetic care, whether it’s non-surgical or surgical, should be largely undetectable,” contends Dr. Julius Few. “That should be the goal.” For more than two decades, the L.A.- and Chicago-based plastic surgeon has rejected the extremes and pioneered what he calls “quiet plastic surgery.” “The worst thing anybody can do is make somebody look like they’ve been fundamentally altered, especially if you’re famous,” he goes on. “And eyes are really like fingerprints. I...

A perimenopausal woman, a postmenopausal woman, a soon-to-be mom and a preteen can all find full body wellness solutions at Ulta Beauty. Under The Wellness Shop, there’s period care, sexual wellness solutions and hormonal support supplements in one section. It’s a far cry from tampons on aisle 5, multivitamins on aisle 9 and lubricant on aisle 10. It heralds a new approach that an increasing number of brands and retailers are starting to take when it comes to women’s over-the-counter full-body solutions. According to Ulta Beauty’s vice president of wellness Laura Beres, the goal is to address “all ages and stages.” Over the past few years, women’s wellness has become a super trendy category at retail, with new brands popping up daily. There’s been the tween period care craze, the menopause movement, the seed cycling wave and a deeper focus on fertility. Now, as the category has matured, retailers like Ulta Beauty and brands like O Positiv are broadening their assortment to focus on a w...

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Fall is here, and, with it, we’re all realizing once again just how crucial of an investment luxury shoulder bags are — above all other purse styles, dare we suggest. Such bags, whether angular or boho-chic and slouchy, tend to be a gal’s go-to: used like a daily commuter bag, a handy hauler for weekend adventures, or the cherry on top of a chic date-night ‘fit. A truly worth-every-penny shoulder bag allows the wearer to go hands-free, moving with ease while it fits comfortably under their arm. But not every luxury shoulder bag is meant to be a daytime catchall for cherished tchotchkes. Petite purses that hang on the shoulder can and should be used in fancier settings, completing your evening ensemble when you’re headed to the opera, say (think the iconic Fendi Baguette or elongated East-West styles that might not be able to house your tablet but can ...

They go way back. In 2024, the two teamed up on a surprising collaboration that generated so much buzz, the Wally slip-on in question sold out in… wait for it… less than a minute. Following the success of this drop, Jelly Roll once again joined forces with HeyDude in March, treating fans to a limited-edition “tattoo”-detailed shoe whose inventory witnessed a similar fate. One month later, we were all blessed with the collab’s “Second Chance” release, which granted one last shot at snagging the ultra-popular style. Now, Jelly Roll, who has called himself the product of second chances, is back for more. Just a day ago, the ribbon was cut on the HeyDude x Jelly Roll Bradley Suede bootie — a reinterpretation of the highly acclaimed HeyDude Bradley silhouette — which we were sure would fly off o...

Things have been “surreal” for Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas for the better part of this year. The Norwegian actress stars in Joachim Trier’s new film, “Sentimental Value,” alongside Stella Skarsgard, Renate Reinave and Elle Fanning, and it has been one of the year’s buzziest movies since its premiere at Cannes. “I’ve never been on a red carpet before, not like that. So that was kind of crazy,” Lilleaas recalls of the festival. “And then it’s been just crazy ever since. I wouldn’t say I’m getting used to it, but I’m getting more at ease with the situation. I just have to be in the situation and sort of enjoy it a little.” Getting ready with Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas for the 2025 Academy Museum Gala.
