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 night began with Champagne and mingling on the restaurant’s lower level, as guests posed for photos in their Chanel ensembles. Keough, a Chanel ambassador, has been busy this fall promoting the new Noah Baumbach film “Jay Kelly,” in which she stars alongside George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern and Billy Crudup. “It’s been really nice. I’m doing a really wonderful amount of press — it’s not exhausting and I get to jump in for the fun parts, to watch the film and go to the premieres,” she said of the schedule. “I just felt so lucky to be there on all of my shooting days, to get to work with Noah...

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...

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...

Emma Stone favored movement and minimalism with her streamlined Louis Vuitton look at the “Bugonia” premiere in New York City on Tuesday night. The two-time Oscar-winning actress turned to creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s latest designs for her red carpet attire, wearing a look from the French luxury fashion house’s spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection. Forgoing opulence and drama, Stone’s floor-length dress featured a flowing silhouette and distinct gray lines tactfully exposing the seams of the garment.

Apart from the gray lines, the dress was crafted with a soft, faintly sheer off-white fabric that complemented the gray elements throughout.

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.

Emma Stone went for autumnal minimalism in her coordinated Khaite attire for the “Bugonia” cast interview on SiriusXM in New York City on Monday. The two-time Oscar-winning actress, who’s currently promoting her latest collaboration with filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, wore two pieces from Khaite’s fall 2025 collection — the Sue jacket and the Loxley skirt — both of which were crafted in the same shade and fabric of toffee suede.

Getty Images for SiriusXM The Sue jacket, which retails for $4,400 on Khaite’s official website, was crafted in a sculptural silhouette, reimagining the lines featured dominantly in the 1960s and 1970s. The piece included a sinuous collar with rounded volumes, refined by long sleeves and horn buttons. Khaite’s Loxley skirt, retailing for $3,800, put a spin on the high-waisted pencil skirt designed for a corset-like fit and shaped by darts in a...

Everyone has that one bad dream in which they fly halfway across the world, only to find that their luggage — their precious, pricey luggage — is nowhere to be found at baggage claim. Calling the airline is of no use. Tracking options are unavailable. All hope is lost. The “chasing your bags across an entire European city” narrative has also recently been popularized through the hit TV series “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” in which the protagonist Belly loses her Coach backpack, only to fight over it (and get it back) at a bustling, body-packed Parisian club. The beloved character recruits the powers of an Apple AirTag for the task at hand, but, had she been privy to the latest development from the travel brand July, she wouldn’t have to. This month, July released its smartest luggage yet: the first trackable suitcase of its kind that is capable o...

Moments before stepping onstage for “Ragtime”‘s opening night, star Joshua Henry was moved by a note from a familiar face in the audience.  That someone was Brian Stokes Mitchell, who originated the role of Coalhouse Walker Jr. on Broadway in 1998. “The highlight of the night for me was seeing Stokes,” Henry says the afternoon after opening night. “He sent me a picture of him doing ‘Ragtime’ and a special note saying, ‘Coalhouse is now yours. It’s your voice, it’s your soul. And so enjoy it.’” The packed house included fellow “Ragtime” originating cast member Audra McDonald and other members of the Broadway community like Rachel Zegler, Danielle Brooks, Ben Platt and Noah Galvin, Phillipa Soo, Michael Urie, Adrienne Warren, Danny Burstein and more. “ I feel really peaceful,” says Henry, at home with his family a few hours before needing to head back for the Friday evening performance. “A little tired.

Purses for special occasions — in the vein of evening clutches fit for cocktail parties and date nights — are completely justifiable purchases for rounding out your arsenal of fashion accessories, but an investment in one of the best designer commuter bags for women is far more important. These kinds of carryalls are much more than your standard purses; sometimes, they act as your entire mobile office, particularly if you work remotely from a coffee shop or frequently catch up on your to-dos while 35,000 feet in the air. When shopping for luxury work bags or large commuter bags (that are, in many cases, synonymous with tote bags), you’ll want to find one with comfortable straps, multiple pockets, and a size that’s considerable enough to house a laptop, stylish headphones, a wallet, keys, and perhaps even a change of shoes.

The Emmy Award-nominated actress styled Perry’s asymmetric bikini wrap dress in satin crepe for the red carpet event.

If you come away from watching Luca Guadagnino’s new movie “After the Hunt” inspired to break out your sharpest blazer and white denim, you’re not alone. Costume designer Giulia Piersanti has been hearing nothing but that from people who have seen the film, which tickles her given she based Julia Roberts’ wardrobe on what she sees women actually wearing in real life. “A lot of my research came from working women,” Piersanti says, over a Zoom call last week. “There were reference pictures that I found from women from the ’80s and today, and to me it’s a wardrobe that goes through time. When you say timeless, it’s really quite literally this.” Piersanti, whose day job is head of knitwear for Celine, has done the costumes for close friend Guadagnino for several films now including, “A Bigger Splash,” “Call Me by Your Name,” “Suspiria” and “Bones and All.” The duo teamed back up for Guadagnino’s latest, “After the Hunt,” which stars Roberts, Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield in a #MeToo-era ...

 The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been many things throughout the years — sexy, inclusive, on hiatus during the #MeToo era — but one thing has never changed: it’s always been pink. On Wednesday night, the lingerie brand returned to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for a second consecutive year. A trail of pink led the way to the pink carpet and runway inside Stage 15, where every detail imaginable had been rendered through the world of Victoria’s Secret. The loading dock gate was pink. The cocktails at the pink-striped bars were pink. Even the safety vests worn by lot attendants were pink for the occasion. “It’s a full cultural event,” said executive creative director Adam Selman, who was looking forward to celebrating after the show with friends like Amy Sedaris, who made her way down the carpet in a light pink tulle skirt and leopard-print pumps.

Everything Meghan Markle touches turns to gold, or, more accurately, everything she endorses by way of wearing it goes the way of the Dodo — selling out just as fast as her As Ever jams. So imagine our surprise at the fact that a pair of gold earrings the royal wore yesterday (while speaking at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit 2025 in Washington, D.C.) is still in stock and easily shoppable. Looking sharp and corp-core coded, in a kind of ode to her “Suits” era, Markle donned a billowing, ivory-hued blouse; a pencil skirt to match; and nude pumps for the occasion. She was in D.C. to speak about everything from the state of women in business to her own strategies with lifestyle brand As Ever, but fans were also able to get something else out of it: another confirmation of the fact that the Duchess’ style is nothing if not steal-worthy. So st...

Being fired has never been more celebrated than it was Tuesday evening. Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill, former editor in chiefs of InStyle and WSJ Magazine respectively, toasted the publication of their new book “All the Cool Girls Get Fired” with a party at Rockefeller Center the day of the book’s publication.  In addition to just about every magazine editor and fashion publicist in New York, guests included Julianne Moore, Barbara Bush, Jeff Koons, Jenna Lyons, Gucci Westman, Deborra-Lee Furness, Candace Bushnell and Andrew Ross Sorkin. The idea for the book came from O’Neill, after Brown posted a photo of the two of them following the announcement of O’Neill’s firing in April 2023. (Brown had been let go from InStyle the previous year.) Her post, since deleted, was captioned with what is now their book title, and O’Neill called her with the idea. “I think there was a squeal of a decibel not often heard, perhaps only by dogs,” was how Brown described the feeling of holding the ...

Coco Jones went back to the early 2000s in her Dolce & Gabbana dress for the 19th annual DKMS Gala on Tuesday night in New York City. The Grammy Award-winning singer wore a look from the Italian luxury fashion house’s 2003 collection, featuring sensual lace-up elements evocative of corsetry and bondage in equal measure.

Zauner, who performs as Japanese Breakfast, recently joined Roan as an opening act for the pop star’s “Visions of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things” tour. The singer opened two nights of Roan’s four-day kickoff in New York, followed by the first of two performance dates in Kansas City, Mo. Performing for a crowd of nearly 35,000 people in Roan’s hometown? “Kind of surreal,” says Zauner. “When we heard she was interested in having us for support on these dates, we were like, as many as we can do, we’d love to do it.

Such was the case for his role as Johnny Cash in “A Complete Unknown,” which was followed shortly by a call to join “The Morning Show” for its fourth season.  “I don’t know what I did in the past life to get that,” says Holbrook, speaking back to the call about “The Morning Show.” “It came in and I just took a second to sit with it.” Holbrook, who is 44, joins Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie and more in the smash success Apple TV+ series about the making of network news in this day and age.

In many ways, Jane Birkin was the ideal subject for Marisa Meltzer.  “I knew just enough about her that I knew why I was drawn to her,” the writer says over a Zoom call on a recent morning. “She was at the intersection of movies and music and fashion; she was an outsider in Paris; she was in the middle of the Swinging ’60s in London but she was also in this sort of loose ’70s in Paris, which are two really exciting eras of culture. But I didn’t know so much about her that I felt like I had a preconceived notion [about her].” The same is likely true for most when it comes to Birkin. She is known for her relationship as a muse: to Serge Gainsbourg, to the famous Hermès bag named for her, to the fashion industry. Yet until Meltzer’s new book, her life had yet to be fully examined. Meltzer, a freelance writer and New York Times bestselling author of “Glossy,” has published “It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin,” out Tuesday. She had the idea to do a book on Birkin when the icon ...

If you’ve spent any time on the internet (or out in public) this past weekend, you know everything there is to know by now about Taylor Swift’s “Life of a Showgirl” album. Whichever way you might feel about it (and trust us, there are a lot of mixed opinions out there), one thing is for certain: Swift’s album-art fashion stole the show, and we specifically couldn’t stop thinking about her two chainmail dress looks — granting the singer glamorous showgirl looks that are still living in our heads rent-free. Though the starlet said “I like ’em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal,” on her new track “CANCELLED!”, we like her cloaked in styles from the queer, Brooklyn-based designer Kelsey Randall, who crafted custom versions of her bestselling, made-to-order Celine Gemstone Chainmail Halter Dress and Crystalline Plexi Rhinestone Chainmail Dress for one of the ...

In the world of luxury beauty, La Mer is a go-to: beloved for its high-performance creams, serums, oils, and concentrates that have helped millions of people achieve brighter and more youthful complexions. Now, the cult-favorite brand that’s garnered millions of TikTok searches and seals of approval from leading dermatologists has blessed fans with its first-ever lipstick: The Lip Treatment, launched just last week and already promising to become a bestseller. Before this high achiever entered La Mer’s roster of offerings, its lip category consisted only of The Lip Balm, The Lip Polish, and The Lip Volumizer — all geared towards nourishing, restoring, and, in case of the latter, treating pouts to buildable color. The Lip Treatment effectively takes all of these effects and perfects them: helping replenish lips’ moisture barrier while keeping things lookin...

Dylan Mulvaney came dressed and ready for the rapture.  “So it was all over TikTok,” says the actress, sipping from an Arnold Palmer at a sidewalk table outside a West Village coffee shop. “Apparently, people were supposed to — the good Christians were supposed to — be taken to heaven and they said, ‘Make sure to be dressed the way you want to be raptured.’ I think this felt very pure,” adds Mulvaney, dressed in a white slipdress and matching white sunglasses for the Sept. 23 occasion. “And I did get full glam just in case, you know, if this is the last look.” Mulvaney is very tapped into TikTok trends, and for good reason: the social media platform is where the 28-year-old catapulted into the public eye during the pandemic and built her fan base. But her focus this fall is offline and down the block, where she’s staging her one-woman show “The Least Problematic Woman” at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. The show, which opens Tuesday, arrives Off-Broadway after its initial debut at the ...
