Here at WWD Shop, we’re Tabby evangelists, meaning our editors own the bag in multiple iterations, love the bag, and will take every opportunity out there to preach about its desirability. We’re also archivists of sorts when it comes to Coach’s Tabby — having chronicled the Chain Tabby Shoulder Bag debut at the label’s fall 2025 runway and the ways in which front-row show attendees styled it. So too did we cover the Times Square Tabby‘s arrival on the scene, the popularity of a 2024 tie dye Tabby variation (boho-chic to the max), and, most recently, the perfect-for-fall releases of the Coach Empire Bag (the very one seen in the hands of Anne Hathaway while she filmed “The Devil Wears Prada 2”) in the Loved Leather style: boasting an intentionally worn-in and vintage-inspired look. This summer, we also rushed to grab — and point readers to — new B...

For her first ever rom-com, Minka Kelly hit the trifecta.  “I mean, I got to live in France for two months and make a rom-com, then was making a holiday rom-com, then making a holiday rom-com in France on top of all of that? It was just such a gift and a dream come true,” Kelly says. “It was really fun.” Kelly stars in the new Netflix movie “Champagne Problems,” out now, about a sales executive named Sydney who is sent to France to acquire a Champagne vineyard for her company. Upon arrival, she has a chance encounter with the charming Henri, who turns out to be the vineyard owner’s son.  “It’s such a feel-good, happy, nostalgic experience watching the movie, and it was such a special experience making it as well,” says Kelly, in New York for a short two-day break from shooting Season Two of “Ransom Canyon” to discuss the movie. “It was a real no-brainer for me. I was just really thankful to even be considered, and I couldn’t believe that I got to do it. It was a real gift.” Mi...

Kate Hudson put a lacy, floral spin on her recent sheer-styling-streak look for the “Song Sung Blue” premiere in London on Friday night with her costar Hugh Jackman. The Oscar-nominated actress, styled by Sophie Lopez, opted for a long-sleeve maxidress with a bevy of floral embroidery. Crafted in a gray-blue tone and adorned with black gemstones, the floor-length gown featured a delicate, botanical-inspired lacy design throughout.

Hudson opted for platform pumps to accentuate her look in a similar silver-tone sheen. As for jewelry pieces, Hudson went minimal, favoring instead to keep her gown the focal point of her red carpet style selection. Her glam also indulged in minimalism. Hudson’s h...

Rihanna continued to redefine postpartum style with her latest monochrome look while out in Santa Monica on Thursday night. The rainy evening didn’t stop the Fenty Skin founder from displaying her high-fashion acumen. Rihanna wore a black puffer jacket with spiky detailing throughout and a furry hood, creating a thick collar effect beneath the mononymous singer’s chin. Rihanna GC Images The fluidity of Rihanna’s look was matched by the singer’s maxiskirt, which continued the black tonal motif of her attire. Exposed seams featured on the design of the skirt, augmenting the edgy detailing, from the spikes to the leathery material and more. Going incognito, Rihanna wore a pair of bold sunglasses, akin to the Balenciaga shades Cynthia Erivo styled for her “Wicked: For Good” New York City premiere attire, sparking a potential trend for thick-framed glasses with a masking effect.

Remember the Walmart Birkin bag — lovingly dubbed “Wirkin” — which cropped up on the scene almost exactly a year ago? Yeah, it’s come back with a vengeance… not that we’re one bit surprised, or disappointed for that matter. Having gone veritably viral on social media, the Hermès lookalike didn’t come from one particular brand. Instead, it was offered by various third-party retailers at Walmart, almost always for under $100. Understandably, pretty much every last version of the chic and structured carryall sold out on the site in a flash, with many legal experts weighing in on the repercussions (a big topic at the time regarded the possibility of the OG Birkin becoming devalued based on this latest manifestation of “dupe culture”). Criticism and sold-out statuses notwithstanding, the Walmart Birkin has prevailed in the cultural conversations of 20...

In the opening scene of “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York),” lifelong New Yorker Robin gets to see her hometown through the eyes of an outsider. Cardboard sign in hand, she meets Dougal, a young Brit, at the airport, who’s arrived in town for his estranged father’s wedding to Robin’s sister. Before you know it, the pair are en route to Manhattan and Dougal is belting out his excitement for the Big Apple in a catchy pop-song tribute to the city.  Costars Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts have moved well beyond the strangers stage as Broadway costars. The show has a two-person cast, and the pair share the stage for practically the entire runtime. The new musical lands on Broadway after a well-received run in London’s West End, followed by a production in Cambridge, Mass., this past summer. “ Which was so low key compared to this,” says Pitts, who starred in the Stateside production along with Tutty, who began the Dougal role in London. “ The stakes are higher in a lot of beau...

Cue up the holiday playlist: the season is officially upon us. Bloomingdale’s was the first major New York department store to mark the season with the unveiling of their holiday windows and facade, in collaboration with Burberry, on Wednesday night. But before the grand reveal, guests got into the festive spirit with cocktails on the store’s second floor. “It’s my first holiday event, so it’s nice to kick it off this way,” said Sarah Pidgeon, who was already bundled in a Burberry coat in preparation. “ It’s always nice to be out and about in New York.  It’s wonderful to see everyone dressed in their Burberry best,” she added, glancing around the store’s Studio 59 restaurant-photo studio, where it was Burberry as far as the eye could see. The actress, who’s starring as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in next year’s “Love Story” series, added that she’s looking forward to checking out the windows on Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller tree over the next month. “It’s such a romantic idea of window sho...

Lauded the world over for putting punk in the public eye (and allowing it to enter the sartorial mainstream), her empire started out with a fascination over “acts of rebellion.” She was drawn to all things edgy and avant-garde, with a healthy serving of the provocative: often using fashion design as a way to communicate political ideas. Nothing was off limits in Westwood’s collections during the span of her illustrious career, and one could encounter pieces decked out in plaids, elegant albeit anachronistic bows, and ruffles. But even though Westwood’s legacy lives on most brightly vis-à-vis her attire, the designer’s jewelry creations are certainly not to be overlooked. And now, they get the spotlight — all of it — in an upcoming title called “Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery.” 'Vivienn...

It was a tale of four Nics — and some 200 fellow victors and trailblazers — at the 2025 WWD Beauty Inc Awards ceremony Tuesday night in New York.  The event, held at Lavan Midtown following Beauty Inc’s inaugural The Catalysts conference, celebrated the innovators, ideas and launches forging the future of beauty. That the honoree cohort included a Nicolas (Hieronimus, L’Oréal Groupe), a Nicola (Formichetti, MAC Cosmetics), a Nyx (Professional Makeup) and a Nick (Vlahos, Rhode) was pure coincidence — but a cheery one nonetheless.  “It’s kind of like my Greek wedding,” laughed Vlahos, chief executive officer of Hailey Bieber’s Rhode upon accepting the Deal of the Year award alongside Scott Milsten, general counsel and chief people officer of E.l.f. Beauty, which acquired Rhode in a $1 billion deal in May.  The culmination of one of beauty’s most transformative years yet, the ceremony shone a light on the individuals and teams that made it so.  Jenny B.

In the constantly evolving landscape of the Hudson Valley, there’s always a new reason to make the trip upstate. Known as a destination for antiques and decorative arts, Hudson, N.Y., has attracted an influx of boutique retail, restaurants, and upscale hotels like The Maker in recent years. The town’s latest property to open its doors in the creative Hudson River town is Pocketbook Hudson, an experiential hotel and community art space located a few blocks from the main drag of Warren Street. Pocketbook cofounder Sean Roland, who grew up in the area and has lived in Hudson for over a decade, struck up a friendship with former owner Eleanor Ambos. The “free-spirited decorator” had purchased the 70,000-square-foot building as a storage space for furniture and other design ephemera.  “That kicked off a year of conversations with Eleanor about what her vision and dreams were, and that married with our own interests in hospitality and creating spaces that foster community,” says Roland, ...

Ariana Grande JC Olivera/WWD Ariana Grande: B This Christian Dior fall 2007 gown would fit perfectly in a glamorous period movie. On the red carpet, it reads a little too costumey on Grande.  Jeremy Strong JC Olivera/WWD Jeremy Strong: CHis commitment to alternative monochromes is remarkable, but this brown distressed denim peak lapel tuxedo suggests it’s time to break up. The orthopedic dad sneaker is going for ugly chic, but misses the chic part.  Cynthia Erivo JC Olivera/WWD Cynthia Erivo: B- Fringe is about enhancing movement, and in this case, it made this coatdress a head turner on the runway.

The way Anna Sweeting, founder of the U.K.-based investment firm The Equity Studio, sees it: “Money is power, and we shouldn’t be shy to talk about that.” So she said at the 2025 WWD x FN x Beauty Inc Women in Power conference, in conversation with Jefferies’ managing director of beauty and wellness investment banking, Sasha Radic, moderated by WWD senior beauty editor Kathryn Hopkins. “Women dominate consumption from a purchase-decision perspective; we make up 80 percent of creators with more than 50,000 followers on social media platforms, and we are going to be dominating social commerce,” she continued. And yet, “the [gender] disparity in funding is still present at the very start.” Indeed, while women founders have historically received a fraction of the funding of their male counterparts, the landscape today looks increasingly precarious. In 2024, Pitchbook reported the share of total VC deal value for start-ups with a female cofounder dipped for the first time since 2020. “While...
