The Best Long-Distance Walking Shoes (and Why They’re Better Than Running Shoes)

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Walking might be the most widespread form of exercise, but, like with any fitness activity, your gear matters. Even though you can (and do) walk in all shoes, tackling long-distance jaunts for the purpose of breaking a sweat requires proper footwear. Luckily, there are plenty of impressive, purpose-built walking shoes on the market. Something that might surprise you? The best long-distance walking shoes are different than the running shoes many people lace up before a long stroll.  Running shoes are built for impact absorption at a higher speed and cadence, often being equipped with more responsive (bouncy) midsole foam and a higher heel stack that could actually cause discomfort and instability during long walks. Long-distance walking shoes, by contrast, prioritize cushioning under the heel and flexibility at th...

Why Everyone Is Obsessed With This $35 Shirt Dress That Keeps Selling Out

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. There are some pieces you buy because they’re trending, and then there are the ones you buy because they make your life easier.

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Believe it or not, treadmill walking is one of the best things you can get up to in the gym: helping maintain your cardiovascular health, assisting with weight loss, boosting bone density, and improving overall mobility.

Christopher Chung Talks ‘My Brilliant Career’ — and What’s Next for ‘Slow Horses’

Christopher Chung knows how to build intrigue.  “Sometimes trailers give away all of the good stuff,” says the Australian actor, offering his review of the teaser for Netflix’s new series “My Brilliant Career.” “But I don’t think we did.” Chung stars in the new screen adaptation of the classic 1901 Australian novel, about a rebellious young woman who defies marriage expectations. Chung steps into the romantic lead role of Harry Beecham, who, in Netflix’s expanded version, faces competition in the form of another suitor, but also the woman’s own ambition. “To see an East Asian leading romantic part that’s in a period piece, that’s in Australia is — it’s an albatross. You never see them,” Chung says of his attraction to the role. “To step into these shoes in such a profound way and to take on that part — from reading the initial breakdown, that was something that I really wanted to do.” ...

How Meghan Markle Has Styled Princess Diana’s Jewelry Through the Years

Meghan Markle has historically used fashion as a way to demarcate different chapters of her life, and this seems to be especially true over the last several years. Still, from her time as a senior member of the British royal family to her As Ever era, one element of her style has remained constant — her tributes to Princess Diana. Over the past eight years, the Duchess of Sussex has honored Princess Diana by accessorizing with pieces of jewelry previously owned by her late mother-in-law. Off the heels of Markle’s recent sentimental jewelry statement in Princess Diana’s butterfly earrings, WWD breaks down some of those moments and jewelry pieces ahead.

James Marsden’s Latest Role? Passing Down a Great Bottle of Whiskey

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. James Marsden has experienced plenty of highs throughout his career — breaking into the Marvel world as Cyclops, appearing in the Emmy-nominated “Jury Duty” and, perhaps our favorite, showing off his singing chops as crooner Corny Collins in “Hairspray.” But regardless of what we consider his most successful endeavor, one of Marsden’s personal standout moments has been partnering with his son, Jack, for their first-ever brand collaboration with The Macallan. Back in June, the father-son duo teamed up for the brand’s “Drink of a Generation” campaign, which spotlighted The Macallan’s celebrated Sherry Oak 25 and 30 Year Old expressions. The pairing felt like a natural fit for Marsden, whose effortless sophistication and easy charisma align seamlessly with the luxury whiskey house’s elevated sensibility. While the campaign w...

WayV is leaving their first trip to New York wanting more. “We’ve been talking all the time about what we want to do in New York and what we plan to eat, what we plan to see,” says YangYang of the group’s multi-month anticipation for their visit. “But now, everything is happening so fast.

François Arnaud’s ‘See-through, Skin-tight’ Shirt That Changed It All

It’s amazing what a tight shirt can do. “I’d never given compression shirts a thought beforehand,” says François Arnaud, seated in a dressing room in Manhattan, his dog Simon at his feet.  The “beforehand” is now a distant memory: Arnaud is part of “this little show called ‘Heated Rivalry,’” which catapulted the actor into a new level of fame since its arrival late last year. In his portrayal of hockey player Scott Hunter, Arnaud shot several scenes running in Under Armour compression shirts — and the brand took notice. Within weeks, a deal was being ironed out, and the Canadian actor was unveiled as a global ambassador for the brand in late July.  “We knew that that moment of where Scott keeps walking into that smoothie shop with the sort of see-through, skin-tight Under Armour compression shirt, that it was a thing,” Arnaud says.  The 41-year-old never imagined himself becoming the face of an athletic brand prior to the call, how...

The same thing happened even more recently with Angel Reese’s pink-powered Coach varsity jacket, which she donned to the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game, dripped out from head to toe in the color.

Edmund Donovan Is Ready for His ‘Late Fame’ Moment

It’s noon in Brooklyn, Edmund Donovan is posing for photos in front of an old-timey soda shop, and the moment is starting to feel very meta. A young USPS driver is parked along the curb, watching the energetic actor at work, and strikes up a conversation: he’s been taking notes for his own burgeoning modeling career.  The intersection of day jobs, creativity and mentorship play out on-screen in Donovan’s film “Late Fame,” in theaters on Friday. The movie costars Willem Dafoe as a poet-turned-postal worker, whose obscure book is idolized years after its publication by a group of young aspiring creatives. Leading the charge is Donovan’s character Meyers, a young twentysomething who’s wistful for a bygone era in New York and recruits the elder poet as a de facto mentor for the group. Set in modern-day New York, the film was adapted from a 1985 novella written by Arthur Schnitzler, about Vienna’s café society scene. “Late Fame” premiered at the Venic...

James Norton Talks ‘House of the Dragon’ and His Beatles Era

James Norton has seen the memes. “I’ve never been memed so much,” says Norton, whose recent turn as Ormund Hightower in “House of the Dragon” has spawned a collection of fan reactions across social media. “I did enjoy the one around the hair coloring thing: Ormund being the best colorist in Westeros,” says Norton, adding that he otherwise tries to distance himself from social media. “Everyone kept telling me, particularly in the cast, about how wide-reaching this show was, and I am getting glimpses of it. “You have to be a little bit careful, because when you start to tap into the scale and how big this show is, I don’t think it’s very healthy to be completely aware of it,” he says. “It starts to affect the way you walk around in the world.” The British actor was in New York for a very quick round of press for “House of the Dragon” ahead of its Season Three finale on Aug. 9.

When the Knicks won the NBA Finals, brands rolled up their sleeves and got crafty. Nike, chief among them, gave sneakerheads an elite opportunity to commemorate this special occasion — by unveiling a Nike Air Force 1 Low “NYC” custom style as part of its By You collection. Shoppers could decide between blue or orange uppers, both signature hues of the team, as well as whether or not gold touches would be present throughout their shoe.

How Lily Collias Landed ‘Cape Fear’ After Breaking Out in ‘Good One’

Despite growing up in Los Angeles, it took moving across the country for Lily Collias to properly begin her life as an actor. “It’s strange how it works out that way,” the 21-year-old says. “My dad was always like, ‘why wouldn’t you just stay here?’ But I had a partner whose parents were directors in documentaries and they were like, ‘if we’re ever sourcing actors, we go to New York because everyone in L.A. is botched.’” After a breakout performance in a Sundance movie, Collias is starring in “Cape Fear,” the Apple TV+ series adaptation of the 1957 novel “The Executioners,” previously brought to screen in films in both 1962 and 1991. The show, which follows an ex-convict who seeks revenge on the lawyer who represented him, stars Javier Bardem, Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson, and is produced by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.  Collias developed an interest in acting from a young age, but early brushes with the industry diverte...

Keen Ruffalo Comes Into His Own in ‘Sterling Point’

The District of Muskoka in Ontario, Canada, is one of the most unique places Keen Ruffalo has ever been, and that’s not only because the JW Marriott there has North America’s only floating pickleball court.  “It’s their claim to fame,” Ruffalo says, of the hotel where he and his “Sterling Point” castmates lived last summer. “I’m very familiar with the JW up there. I think I’ve had everything on that menu at least three times.” Muskoka served as both setting and character for “Sterling Point,” the new series which marks Ruffalo’s first big role.  “Sterling Point” is the first TV show from actor-turned-filmmaker Megan Park, whose debut film “The Fallout” took home the Grand Jury Prize at SXSW.

Barbie Is Dressed to the Nines in Mattel’s 2026 Holiday Collection

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Ah, Mattel’s annual Holiday Barbie release. Since 1988, it’s been a tradition as symbolic of Christmastime as caroling or egg nog–drinking, though last year the famed toy company was faced with backlash over the limited-edition Barbie’s final look that — how should we put it? — left a lot to be desired. Dressed in a silver-and-gold, damask-printed gown boasting a tulle trim at the top, she proceeded to be compared with everything from the curtains in your grandmother’s house to a tree skirt. And while Holiday Barbies of yore managed to fetch three-figure prices on the resale market, it’s safe to say this one’s post-launch reception didn’t cause nearly as much frenzy.

The Best Tinted SPF Lip Balms to Apply, and Reapply, All Summer Long

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. As beauty writers, our team has had front-row seats to the evolution of modern sunscreen in all of its manifestations. From eyeshadows with mineral blockers to dry shampoos and even setting sprays with SPF, the category continues to expand beyond what you expect to see lining the shelves of your local drugstore. Yet, amidst this shift, the oft-overlooked realm of lip balms with SPF has remained relatively untouched — until last year, that is, when lip-focused sunscreen products began showing up in a way that was worth paying attention to. “Our lips are especially vulnerable to sun damage because they lack melanin — the pigment that helps protect skin from UV radiation — and the skin on the lips is much thinner than the rest of the face,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur tells WWD. “This also...

We Found the Comfiest Airport Outfit Options at Amazon — And They’ll Cost You Less Than $50

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. We’ll only say this once: It’s time for you to rethink what you usually wear to the airport, be it a ratty hoodie you’ve had since high school or those sweatpants with the nondescript stains on them. In 2026, the best airport outfit ideas revolve around coordinates like sweatsuits or cardi-and-trouser mashups, wide-leg pants with foldover waists for when that inevitable bloating at 30,000 feet sets in, and even a crisp blazer styled over a simple white tee that just might get you mistaken for a CEO at security. Yes, everyone wants to look good for their airport crush or the attractive flight attendant, but truly smart airport outfits are those that also help you stay comfortable from takeoff to landing, customs, and hailing a taxi. Breathability is key, and so is layering (just in case the A/C is blasting on the aircraft or ...
