Tracee Ellis Ross Honored as Hollywood Trailblazer at WWD Style Awards: A Lifelong Fashion Journey From Vintage Finds to Designer Dreams

Receiving the WWD Style Award for Hollywood Trailblazer is validating for the lifelong fashion lover Tracee Ellis Ross. “It’s justification that my shopping has been worth it,” Ross said. The actress has been fashion obsessed ever since she was a toddler, posing for a photo in her mother Diana Ross’ high heels while clutching her favorite stuffed Tweety Bird.  Tracee Ellis Ross at the Schiaparelli fall 2023 couture show on July 3, 2023, in Paris. “That was just the beginning of me ravaging my mother’s closet,” she said. “For me, how I dress myself is really a form of expression, and it’s one of the ways that I wear my insides on my outside,” Ross added. “It started as an armor, a way that I would feel protected, and now it’s just one of the ways I express myself and it brings me so much joy. I really feel like there’s an importance to how we express ourselves, particularly in the world that we’re living in. How I dress is one of the ways that I show up in the world and tell people ...

Taylor Swift Mastered High-Low Jewelry Styling With This Under-$200 Bonbonwhims Necklace You Can Buy Now

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. On Dec. 28, Taylor Swift stepped out in New York City hand in hand with boyfriend Travis Kelce, and, though the latter sported a bold pants-plus-jacket ensemble that was anything but subtle, it was Swift’s necklace choice that made instant headlines.

Her ears were treated to a pair of $36,000 earrings, and she had a $32,200 Cartier watch on her wrist; yet, in the ultimate high-low mixup, Swift also wore a white-gold tennis necklace from the AAPI-owned brand Bonbonwhims. With a striking chain and a glittering heart-shaped gem at its center, it looks like real diamonds — which wouldn’t surprise us, considering the wearer is no other than the richest female musician in the world.

Anna Sawai Is WWD’s Style Awards Fashion Newcomer to Watch on the Red Carpet

Anna Sawai, the winner of WWD’s inaugural Fashion Newcomer style award, knows the power of a red carpet — and red dress — statement. Last year, the “Shogun” star chose to wear a custom look by Vera Wang for her history-making win at the 2024 Emmy Awards. The actress was the first actress of Asian descent to win the award for best leading actress in a drama series, and the first Japanese actress to ever win an Emmy. “It was very meaningful to me to be able to wear Vera’s dress at my first Emmys, that also could have been — and ended up somehow becoming — a historical moment,” says Sawai, reflecting on the evening a few months after the ceremony. Now a few weeks before the Golden Globe awards, the actress, 32, is getting ready to fly to Japan from Australia, where she’s spent half the year filming the second season of Godzilla series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” for Apple TV+. She’ll return to set after a short break for the holidays and a trip to LA for the WWD Style Awards and Golden ...

Actress Mikey Madison Reflects on Breakout Role in ‘Anora’ and Navigating Hollywood on Her Own Terms

It’s no wonder that Mikey Madison is in the thick of deep cleaning her home. After spending much of 2024 on the road with her breakout smash of a movie “Anora,” and staring down the gauntlet of early 2025 awards season, Madison is finally spending some more time in her hometown of Los Angeles. Every little bit of zen is going to count in the weeks ahead. “I think that there is something to be said about returning to your space and somewhere that feels comfortable and safe for you,” Madison says. “And my home is definitely that for me, which is why I’ve been frantically reorganizing and cleaning and tidying and all that stuff because it’s important.” “Anora” first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival back in May 2024, where it would go on to win the Palme d’Or and catapult Madison into an awards conversation that has only gained momentum since then. Madison is up for a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, and will recei...
