Maia Reficco Is Finding Her Way, One Part at a Time

If it wasn’t for the yerba mate steaming up in front of her, Maia Reficco might easily lose track of which city she’s in. “I did five cities in five countries in five days,” she says. “I was in Monaco, Spain, New York, Mexico City and Buenos Aires, all in five days.”  Now back home in Buenos Aires, where she’s stuck to living despite career pressures to move to the U.S., the Argentine actress and singer is more than happy with her busy schedule if it means getting to pursue both of her loves.

Anne Hathaway’s Free the Bump Era Marks a Shift in Her Maternity Style

Maternity wear is not what it used to be. Clothes for pregnant bodies have drastically changed over the course of the last decade, and Anne Hathaway’s maternity style is a case study in just how much that category has evolved. From 2016’s minidresses and caftans to the era of freeing the baby bump and celebrating changing bodies, Hathaway’s maternity wear follows a trajectory that has seen luxury labels and fashion houses create customized pieces and designs for pregnant bodies. WWD takes a closer look at Hathaway’s maternity style evolution ahead. January 2016 Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman at Los Angeles Convention Center on Jan. 27, 2016.

True Fit Introduces Fit Intelligence Layer for Agentic Commerce

In fashion’s race toward agentic commerce, the industry has quickly discovered that intelligence alone isn’t enough. Reliability and trust — especially around fit and sizing — have emerged as a key constraint. For True Fit, this has become the opportunity. Earlier this year, the company introduced its “Fit Intelligence Layer,” a new architecture designed to power artificial intelligence shopping agents built on real outcomes. True Fit’s proprietary data moat is powered by nearly two decades of enriched shopper profiles, enriched clothing and footwear profiles and purchase and returns data. Now, True Fit is bringing that architecture into production, with deployments live at enterprise retailers including Lands’ End. Why Fit Is Crucial for AI in Fashion Agentic commerce, AI systems that guide, recommend and act on behalf of shoppers, has rapidly moved from concept to priority across retail organizations. But still, fashion presents a d...

Nike’s Website Is a Treasure Trove of the Best Bodysuits for Women — Shop These 6 Editor-Loved Picks

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. It’s common knowledge that the best bodysuits for women are wordrobe workhorses of sorts: creating the ideal base for colder days, being a match made in heaven for those jeans that fit you just right, and specializing in comfort without ever skimping on style (dressing bodysuits up with jewelry or a sleek leather jacket is advisable). That being said, shopping for a bodysuit online that will suit, pardon our pun, your needs (and body type, and preferred coverage amount) can be risky business. Retailers like Amazon are known to sell and heavily promote lower-quality goods in that category, while other brands’ bodysuit options might only look good on that AI model and not you, if you catch our drift. This is where Nike, out of all companies, comes in to steal the show. Peel back the layers of its buzzy Jordan relea...

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...

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.

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.

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...

She showed up to the event in a Vevers-designed suit — all paint splatters and detailed beading — that had onlookers at home scrambling to find an exact match online. 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. Alas, these two style moments were custom, but there’s never been a better time to hop on the Coach bandwagon, what with its soaring popularity: spearheaded by key celebrity placements (Lola Tung just became the company’s newest Global Ambassador) and campaigns that stick the landing.

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...
