Sofia Carson Writes Her Own Hollywood Story

It’s already her third movie in less than a year, but Sofia Carson is just as enthusiastic as ever. “It’s going on 10 years of me doing this, which is unbelievable,” Carson says, from the lobby of the New York Edition Hotel. “And it always feels like the very first time in the best way. I always feel so genuinely excited and grateful, and I feel butterflies anytime I get to see my work on Times Square. It’s all so surreal.” The 32-year-old broke out in the 2015 Disney Channel movie musical “Descendants,” before going on to star in a series of movies for Netflix, including “Feel the Beat,” “Purple Hearts,” “Carry On,” “The Life Life,” and, out Friday, “My Oxford Year.” She’s also been a producer on several of those, positioning her as a new kind of breakout movie star (with a loyal fanbase — over 20 million followers on Instagram — following closely along).  “My mom refers to these moments in my career as catching lightning in a bottle,” Carson says. “‘Descendants’ was that first.

Vans Taps Into the Metallic Shoe Trend With a New Colorway of Its TikTok-Viral Super Lowpro Shoe

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. When Vans first released its Super Lowpro sneaker, it’s safe to say people went wild over one of the brand’s thinnest soles to date. Gone were the thick, vulcanized rubber outsoles of yore — replaced with razor-thin counterparts alongside a low profile and six go-with-everything colorways to start. Now, the brand is taking things up a notch with a premium version of the shoe in a metallic gray hue that’s ready to help you nail one of fall 2025’s biggest trends. The Vans Premium Super Lowpro Shoe in Gun Metal Gray is sleek to the max and inspired by ’80s-era runners (specifically the Vans Serio Style 84), which were low to the ground, streamlined, and statement-making. Besides its undeniable vintage flair, the sneaker is also a very practical investment. Comfort is guaranteed through a padded tongue, an EVA midsole and wedge that provide ample cushioni...

In the Room Media announces nonprofit group Witness to Mass Incarceration as the 2025 partner for Style Across the Aisle.

Logan Lerman on ‘Oh, Hi,’ Complex Characters, and Chasing Fresh Challenges

There are a lot of people who want to look at Logan Lerman’s face. The millions of edits dedicated to him on TikTok would suggest as much, as would his casting in Haim’s video for their song “Down to Be Wrong” from earlier this summer — and then, of course, there’s his film career.  Lerman himself is not one of those people.   “I haven’t seen the movie,” he says, sunk into a sofa on a recent afternoon at the end of his New York trip, of his new film “Oh, Hi.” “I don’t know if I should say that or not, because I’m telling people to see it, but I haven’t seen it.” The 33-year-old, who’d rather not watch himself onscreen, does like seeing what other people think of his movies, however.  “I love reading reviews,” he says, a rare admission from an actor these days. “I love hearing people’s reactions.” Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello wool jacket and leather pants; Noah x Peter Anderson cotton tee.

Blackpink’s Rosé Gives the Exposed Underwear Trend a Fresh Update

Lucy Liu, Mariska Hargitay Toast Gloria Steinham and Inaugural ‘The Shift’ Issue

Sometimes the most influential person in a room isn’t even in the room at all. On Friday afternoon, guest of honor Gloria Steinem, who is on the cover of the launch print issue of The Shift, was unable to make it downtown in the 95-degree heat to West Village restaurant Le B. But the 91-year-old activist’s presence was threaded throughout the room: on issues of the magazine displayed around the venue, in conversation between guests, and even on the lunch menu. “Anytime that we can be a part of a platform that supports women, and especially creative women, it’s so incredibly important to do,” said chef Angie Mar from the kitchen. Preparations were underway for the first course, a saumon en croute inspired by Lutèce chef André Soltner and in homage to Steinem. “Gloria’s such an icon. What better way is there than to serve an iconic New York dish from an iconic restaurant?” Lunch guests included event cohosts Lucy Liu, Inez van Lamsweerde and Nili Lotan, along with Mariska Hargitay, Abbi ...

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission.

EXCLUSIVE: LoveShackFancy Collaborates With Krewe Eyewear on a Limited-edition Capsule Collection of ‘Feminine and Romantic’ Sunglasses

The partnership marks the debut collaboration for the New Orleans-based eyewear brand and lifestyle label. LoveShackFancy x Krewe Sasha Sunglasses Courtesy of LoveShackFancy x Krewe “We’ve historically been extremely selective about collaborations — we often say ‘no’ because when your brand is inspired by a place (for us, that’s New Orleans), it’s really important that there’s true intentionality around partnerships,” Stirling Barrett, Krewe founder and creative director, said in a statement. “But LoveShackFancy was an easy ‘yes’ for us. The two brands are alike in many ways, particularly in our shared values around quality and individuality, which allowed this design partnership to feel natural and fun.” LoveShackFancy x Krewe Brigitte Sunglasses Courtesy of LoveShackFancy x Krewe The capsule collection features three d...

From Runway to Silver Screen: Sara Sampaio on Embracing Chaos, Comedy and Her ‘Superman’ Debut

The beauty of being blonde for a role is Sara Sampaio is actually able to watch herself on screen.  “It felt like a little disconnect,” says the natural brunette. “So I was actually able to enjoy it.” The 24-year-old Portuguese model-turned-actor makes her major screen debut in the new “Superman” movie, playing Eve Teschmacher, girlfriend of Lex Luther, who ends up instigating a rather pivotal plot point. Eve presents as a selfie-snapping crazy girlfriend, something Sampaio knew immediately she wanted to play. “I just loved how chaotic and crazy and funny she is, and I love comedy. I read it and I’m like, ‘oh, I know exactly how I would want to play her,’” Sampaio says. “She has this crazy-eyes-energy and I’m like, ‘oh, I love her already.’ As women, we don’t really get the chance to sometimes be crazy and just be completely out of our mind, so it was fun to tap into that.” Sara Sampaio Dan Doperalski/WWD Sampaio grew up in Porto, Portugal, and has been modeling since she was a tee...

The Best Pool Accessories and Outdoor Decor to Elevate Your Backyard Oasis for Summer

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. If you consider yourself part of the lucky eight percent of U.S. households that have a swimming pool, chances are you’re always on the lookout for ways to make your pool area a true sanctuary that’s ideal for hosting summertime guests. While our interiors are likely to get treated to the best in home decor, along with today’s top trends (like the current obsessions over all things butter-yellow and food-themed), we tend to overlook our backyard spaces when it comes to much-needed, beautifying upgrades. Luckily, there’s no shortage of top pool accessories to shop online that straddle the line between luxe and useable, while lasting for many seasons of warm-weather fun. Maybe you’re a former college swimmer whose happy place is inside a pool, thus needing an upscale-looking pool float for proper recovery from all those laps. Or perhaps you’re someone who o...

The Nomasei Loafers Loved by Bella Hadid, Nicole Kidman, and Blake Lively Are Finally Back in Stock

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Some outfits deserve to live rent-free in your mind for years. And while it’s usually iconic red carpet moments that steal the spotlight, every now and then, a random celebrity street style ‘fit will scratch your brain in just the right way and refuse to let go. For me, one of those outfits is a summer in the city look Bella Hadid stepped out in three years ago. Giving major Clueless energy, she paired a plaid mini skirt with heeled loafers and white crew socks — a combo that felt effortlessly cool. The standout piece?

Now, just in time for all your Clueless-inspired fall outfits (it was just the movie’s 30th anniversary, after all), Nomasei’s buzz-worthy loafers are finally back...

The Best Polo Shirts for Men to Wear This Summer, Tested by an Editor

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. The polo shirt has become one of the most versatile wardrobe essentials for men — but not all polos are made equal. The best men’s polo shirts vary in fabrications, fits, and purpose of wear, because the relaxed-collared shirt with origins in the sport of tennis — thanks to René Lacoste — evolved into a semi-casual, everyday shirt that can be equally fitting for wedding attire, business attire, or just another lazy weekend with the guys. The classic cotton piqué polo shirt by Lacoste and Ralph Lauren’s signature cotton mesh styles are widely known and have been menswear favorites since their initial releases. Some time between the Lacoste’s 1920s creation and the 1972 launch of Ralph Lauren’s iconic polos, the knit polo shirt was embraced by old Hollywood style heavyweights from Steve McQueen to James Dean, which provided a relaxed feel that complimented ...

Dominique Thorne: Bringing Ironheart to Life and Inspiring a New Generation of Heroes

It’s been a few years since Dominique Thorne first got the call that Marvel wanted her to lead her own series — four, to be precise — but it’s not a phone conversation one quickly forgets.  “It was the middle of the pandemic, and I had just made my way back to my family and was literally just beginning to settle in there when I got the phone call from Marvel explaining that they wanted to bring this character [Ironheart] to life,” Thorne says. “They asked me if I was familiar with her, and I was, and said that they wanted to introduce her in this six-part Marvel series and have her introduced to the world before that in ‘Wakanda Forever,’” she continues. “I kept waiting for them to tell me about the audition and when they wanted me to send in my tape or something, but there was none of that.” The 27-year-old can finally be seen in “Ironheart,” the Disney+ series that centers on her character Riri Williams, who audiences met in 2022’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The show, whic...

The Korean 2-in-1 Trend Is TikTok’s Latest Hair Obsession: Experts Explain the K-pop-inspired Look

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Like any life decision, committing to a new hairstyle after years of keeping the same monotonous look can be extremely difficult. Luckily, a new hair trend is tailored — literally — for the indecisive, specifically long-haired women who want to test drive short hair without having to fully commit, headfirst. Dubbed the Korean 2-in-1 haircut, this viral style is an innovative take on the burgeoning bob fad, which has already seen a slew of celebrities, such as Alexandra Daddario and Halle Berry, ditch their long locks entirely for the above-the-shoulder hairdo. The Korean 2-in-1, conversely, allows for short and long hair to coexist on the same head.

Inside Thom Browne’s Upper East Side Store Opening Party

Leave it to Hector to draw a crowd. Thom Browne’s dachshund was rendered in a bright green topiary stationed on 72nd Street, drawing the curiosity of casual passersby. The troupe of people dressed in coordinating seersucker was another clear sign that something was afoot on the Upper East Side block on Wednesday: the opening of two new Thom Browne boutiques, including a store dedicated to accessories, on Madison Avenue. Hector himself had dropped by briefly earlier in the day (he’s not big on crowds), but the late afternoon cocktail party had plenty of other VIPs in attendance.

How Geri Halliwell’s Union Jack Dress Inspired a Generation of Pop Stars and Patriotism

Geri Halliwell‘s Union Jack dress has left its mark as a sartorial moment to remember in pop culture history. The original Spice Girls member’s mini frock struck a cultural chord and quickly became a statement-making piece for other pop stars to follow. The dress, featuring the Union Jack flag, is tied to the United Kingdom’s history. Originating in 1606 as the flag that represented both England and Scotland, the design was reimagined in 1801 as the current red, white and blue symbol, with the addition of the St. Patrick’s Saltire. In the 1970s, the Union Jack was incorporated as a style motif for several British punk bands. The design was used through sartorial messaging, a subversion of the flag. In the late ’90s, however, Halliwell’s fashion statement repurposed the Union Jack symbol. Geri Halliwell of British all-girl singing group the Spice Girls at the Brit Awards Feb. 24, 1997.

Marc Jacobs’ New Bag Proves the Y2K-era Satchel Is Officially Back

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Ready for the return of another Y2K fashion staple? The early 2000s were a golden age of designer bag trends — think logomania, micro baguettes, and East-West shoulder bags — all of which have staged major comebacks in recent seasons. But, until now, one iconic carryall remained in the archives: the hefty satchel bag. Once an essential purse pairing to boho-inspired ensembles slung over the arms of “It girls like Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, and Sienna Miller, Y2K satchel bags defined the era’s laid-back, effortlessly cool style — and it had the Tumblr reblogs to prove it. Now, Marc Jacobs is further signaling the bag style’s return with the launch of The Cristina Satchel, a modern update on the early aughts relic.

Ben Ahlers on ‘The Gilded Age,’ Being a Meme and His Journey From Iowa to HBO Stardom

One thing about being part of a prime HBO series: the chances of going viral for something, at some point, are high.  “I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again: Evan Ross Katz changed my life,” says Ben Ahlers of the online creator, who anointed Ahlers’ “Gilded Age” character Jack as the “clock twink.” The moniker resurfaced earlier this week via Ahlers’ costar Louisa Jacobson in a post promoting the latest episode.  “It is definitely a different experience now. I’ve never been a meme. I’ll happily wear the crown of the clock twink,” Ahlers adds. “I do hesitate to say that I am 6’3”, so I don’t think that’s by definition a twink — but I’ll happily roll with it if people are willing to give me a pass. I love how obsessed and excited people get about coming up with the new fun thing. We’ve got Morgan Spector as ‘railroad daddy’ and [me as] ‘clock twink,’ so that’s great company for me.” Ben Ahlers ahead of the Amiri show during Paris Fashion Week.

Returns, Refunds and the Fight for Loyalty

What happens “beyond buy” is no longer a consumer experience afterthought; it’s a strategic and financial imperative. Returns, refunds and delivery delays don’t just affect consumer sentiment — they show up in your margins, repurchase rates and quarterly results. In a market where loyalty can disappear with a single bad experience, post-purchase isn’t the end of the journey. It’s the moment your brand and your margins are both at stake. It’s where trust is tested and the true cost of consumer disappointment shows up in your bottom line. Take Amazon’s recent move to retroactively refund consumers for years of return errors. It wasn’t just a PR decision; it was a margin play. Even the most sophisticated retailer in the world couldn’t escape the risks of post-purchase breakdowns. The difference? Amazon can absorb the hit. Most others can’t. For nearly every other brand, a misstep like that would come with real financial consequences and no blank check to make it right. The takeaway isn’t ...

With ‘Dilaria,’ Ella Stiller Brings a Sharp Female Story to Off-Broadway

If your first introduction to Ella Stiller is from the audience at the intimate DR2 theater near Union Square, where she’s making her off-Broadway debut in “Dilaria,” you might be guarded when you meet her in person. But Stiller takes any trepidation as a compliment.  “ There was one night, I was talking to a girl who was so kind and lovely and she said to me, ‘you are such a good actor, because I hated your character so much,’” says Stiller of a recent post-performance interaction. “And the next girl I talked to immediately said, ‘oh no, I loved her. I loved Dilaria, and I hate her. I want to be her, and I want to be nothing like her,” adds Stiller. “To me, that’s the rewarding thing to hear: that you can’t decide.” In person, Stiller is convivial, engaged, easy-going. She transforms onstage into Dilaria: cruel, obsessive, manipulative. Mean. “She does all the least socially acceptable things,” she says of the narcissistic character, a recent college grad who quickly has the ...
