If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Every summer, the curly haired among us get split up into two camps: those whose locks thrive in the warm-to-hot temperatures and those who instantly trade dryness for frizziness, courtesy of all that newfound moisture saturating the air. In any season (but particularly this one), it’s important to stick to a consistent and optimized hair-drying routine so as to boost the looks of your coils, ringlets, or curls in between wash days. The best hair dryers for curly hair, in fact, are on a mission to make sure every day is a good hair day for you. In the before times, finding a hair styling tool that catered specifically to textured hair was a tough job. Now, a plethora of options is available on the market, from hair care giants like Shark and Dyson as well as celebrity-helmed brands such as Tracee Ellis Ross‘ Pattern. The gadget yo...

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. Norton missed some of the early-season publicity, but ...

Keke Palmer and Fabletics have reunited for their second collaboration and campaign, spotlighting a curation of elevated everyday designs. Inspired by the “One of Them Days” star’s sense of fashion, the 27-piece collection features essentials now available on Fabletics’ official website and stores nationwide. Keke Palmer for Fabletics.

A Little-Known Nike Loophole? You Can Customize Your Own Air Force 1s, and Here’s How.

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. 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. It’s safe to say the designs sold out all too quick for comfort as Knicks fans rushed to grab the celebratory (and wearable) collectibles, but Nike By You remains one of the best ways to infuse a Swoosh purchase with personality. Just a few clicks here is all it takes to make your fresh footwear unlike anyone else’s, similarly standing apart from anything that could be acquired in a br...

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...

Charlize Theron’s ‘The Odyssey’ Designer Press Tour Stint Continues in China

Charlize Theron continued her “The Odyssey” style streak in looks by Lanvin and Givenchy as part of the film’s press tour in China on Thursday. Charlize Theron Getty Images for Universal Pictu Kicking off the day in the first of three looks, the “Monster” Oscar winner wore a look from Lanvin’s spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection. The black and white look, comprised of a billowing top and coordinated shorts, was crafted with an ethereal, yet modern aesthetic. The waterfall motif featured throughout Theron’s Calypso-inspired press tour was incorporated into the Lanvin design, with a black bow forming the neckline and cascading down the actress’ back. She accessorized with black Celine sunglasses. Charlize Theron Getty Images for Universal Pictu ...

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. Her second, the Aubrey Plaza and Maisy Stella-led “My Old Ass,” was produced by LuckyChap and picked up by Amazon MGM out of Sundance; both companies are involved again with “Sterling Point.”  pmcCnx.cmd.push(function() { pmcCnx({ se...

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. In 2026, Mattel is doubling down and averting any PR blunders with a Holiday Barbie collection that, by...

Zendaya Is a ‘Jewel in Motion’ in Tamara Ralph Couture

Zendaya continued the final leg of her “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” press tour with a Tamara Ralph couture gown for Wednesday’s London premiere of the film at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. Zendaya Getty Images The Emmy Award-winning “Euphoria” star, who was styled by longtime collaborator Law Roach, turned to the Australian designer’s fall 2026 couture collection for her look.

The dress included a mermaid skirt, with layered ivory panels flowing into a train that trailed the actress as she walked the arrival carpet.

Olivia Wilde Gives Denim Dressing a Menswear Spin in Prada

Olivia Wilde dipped into Prada denim for a menswear look at Tuesday night’s “I Want Your Sex” premiere at Los Angeles’ DGA Theater. Olivia Wilde Michael Buckner “The Invite” filmmaker and actress wore a coordinated denim look with a black blazer from the Italian luxury fashion house’s spring 2027 menswear collection — the first look to hit the runway during the show. Denim was the order of the day for Wilde, who sported Prada’s white, low-rise jeans with a slim-fitting silhouette. The denim pants were paired with a coordinated top in the same colorway and material, featuring silver buttons running down the front placket. The collared top, which also included two flap breast pockets, was given a business casual edge with a slightly oversize black blazer, featuring a sinuous lapel and rounded shoulders. ...

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...

Tramell Tillman Makes His ‘Spider-Man’ Debut in Tom Ford Pinstripes

Tramell Tillman is in his boss era. On Monday night, the actor stepped out on the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of “Spider Man: Brand New Day,” debuting his long anticipated  role as William “Bill” Metzger in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Last night feels unreal,” says Tillman, the morning after the premiere. “I’m basking in the moment right now. I have to look through the photos to remind myself that it happened.” His role in the film has drawn speculation an fan theories in months leading up to the release. In the comic books, Metzger is an X-Men villain, and Tillman’s role paves the way for future appearances — perhaps for the “X-Men” Phase 7 film, currently in development. “ It was a lot of love in the room, a lot of excitement,” Tillman said of the premiere crowd’s reaction to discovering his character on screen. “Watching the film with thos...

Zendaya Injects a Hint of Venom Into Her Ashi Studio Couture Gown

Zendaya spun a dark web in an Ashi Studio couture look for Monday night’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” Los Angeles premiere. Zendaya Gilbert Flores The Emmy-winning “Euphoria” actress, who was styled by longtime collaborator Law Roach, wore a gown from the luxury label’s fall 2026 couture collection — a black gown with a plunging neckline, voluminous knee-length skirt and flowing train. Fabric ruching on the skirt created an accordion effect, with the dark material gathered for a dramatic juxtaposition to the structured, streamlined bodice. The top of the dress was sleek, defined by wispy antennae rising from the bodice cups. Zendaya Gilbert Flores Speaking to Variety, Roach described the Ashi Studio design as “an abstract way to present th...

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 ...

Funny Girl Mary Beth Barone Is Coming Out With a Netflix Special — and That’s Just the Beginning

Mary Beth Barone hopes you learn something about yourself after her new show. “Galaxy Brain,” her first Netflix special, introduces the world to her Chihuahua-mix Pinky, goes deep on those emergency phones on college campuses and presents viewers with the chance to figure out “if they’re an ‘oh my god’ or an ‘oh f–k.’”  “That’s going to be so fun,” she says.  “Galaxy Brain,” out Tuesday, is the latest milestone for the 35-year-old, who was named one of Comedy Central’s Up Next in 2019 and has bloomed in popularity in the years since, thanks to her podcasts with fellow comedian and best friend Benito Skinner, her breakout role on Skinner’s Amazon Prime series “Overcompensating” and a much-lauded turn as Golden Globes red carpet host earlier this year.

Kaia Gerber Makes the Case for Summer Knitwear in Alaïa

Kaia Gerber got fired up while out in New York City on Monday, sporting a red knit by Alaïa. The actress and model’s dress hailed from the fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection, which marked couturier Pieter Mulier’s final designs as creative director of the Paris-based luxury label. Kaia Gerber GC Images The look merged fluidity with summer knitwear in a vibrant, fiery red. The long-sleeve top had a round neckline, formfitting silhouette and ribbed fabric at the cuffs and hips for a touch of playfulness. The design transitioned into a satin-style skirt.

How Kate Middleton and Prince William May Shape Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s Fashion Future

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s influence extends beyond their roles as senior members of the British royal family. The “Kate Effect” has been felt since Middleton joined the House of Windsor in April 2011, with her fashion choices drawing on tradition silhouettes and propelling fashion trends. Now, that influence may extend to Prince and Princess of Wales’ children. As they enter their teenage and preteen years, the Wales children, most notably Prince George and Princess Charlotte, may have offered clues about their fashion futures with recent appearances. What might we expect from the next generation of young royals? WWD speculates on that ahead.

Inside Eton College’s Long-standing Dress Code

This fall, the historic Eton College, located in Berkshire, England, will welcome a new, high-profile pupil.

The 6 Best Shoe Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis to Buy Online

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. If you’re reading this, you’re likely intimately familiar with plantar fasciitis: the main cause of heel pain that manifests when the plantar fascia (a thick band of tissue found at the bottom of the foot, serving as an essential link between the heel bone and the toes) “loses some of its elasticity or resilience” over time, oftentimes becoming inflammed or even developing micro-tears, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Plantar fasciitis–related pain can also be exacerbated by the types of shoes you’re wearing, the pursuits you’re partaking in, and how much you weigh. That being said, while podiatrists frequently prescribe special stretches or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication to mitigate the symptoms, orthotics (particularly shoe inserts) are a leading alternative for treating plan...

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Leather sneakers are the most adaptable, well-rounded piece of footwear you can own right now, period.

The Beaches Reflect on a Breakout Year, From Madison Square Garden to ‘Off Campus’

In true New York fashion, The Beaches were so busy running around the city on the day of their Madison Square Garden performance that the first time they took the stage was in front of a sold-out crowd. “It was such a hectic day. We weren’t able to get a soundcheck, so we had to raw dog the show,” recalls Jordan Miller, the band’s lead vocalist, in the days following the show. “But having the first moment that we were actually in the arena be right before we went on stage was so thrilling. I didn’t want the show to end. It felt like we belonged up there.” “Raw dogging” MSG might just be the band’s most rock ‘n’ roll move yet. The Toronto-based quartet — sisters Jordan Miller and Kylie Miller, Leandra Earl and Eliza Enman-McDaniel — are currently on tour opening for former One Directioner Louis Tomlinson.

Fashion’s fascination with nostalgia continues to reshape summer 2026, but this season’s most unexpected revival isn’t a handbag or a shoe — it’s the capri pant.

Heather Agyepong Brings ‘Shifters’ to New York

It’s the morning before the opening night of “Shifters” at the Cherry Lane Theatre, and British actress Heather Agyepong is ready for the moment. New Yorkers are, too. “ New York audiences are delicious,” says Agyepong, who stars in the intimate off-Broadway production following its acclaimed run in London. “They’re very responsive. They’ll shout, they’ll laugh, they’ll cry. It seems like people are really ready to connect emotionally to the work,” she says, adding that while audiences in London tended to be more reserved in their vocal reactions, “New York audiences feel like they’re locked in from the jump.” The buzzy play debuted at the Bush Theatre in 2024 before transferring to the West End, picking up Olivier Award nominations in 2025 for best new play and best actress for Agyepong. Idris Elba, Little Simz and Danai Gurira joined the producing team for the show’s New York run, slated through the end of August. “Ther...
