Beauty

This season, a couple of major labels featured mid and plus-size models in their shows — including Balenciaga and Givenchy. It wasn’t the first time: in previous seasons, those moments of visibility hinted that luxury houses might be starting to consider bigger bodies, and harness the major missed opportunity in mid and plus-size consumers. But the lack of...

I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with how brands can rise through our size inclusivity rankings by tokenistically featuring one mid-size or plus-size model, only to not produce a single garment that would fit someone at the top end of mid-size, or in the plus-size bracket entirely. Some brands who actually make clothes for bigger bodies expressed their frustration to...

I’m generally not one to be pressed about a celebrity beauty brand launch (sorry, I’m jaded!), but when Cécred—the hair-care brainchild of Beyoncé and her mom, Miss Tina—debuted in February 2024, it piqued my interest. Its Foundation Collection served as a smart launchpad for a brand catering to all hair types—a lineup of eight wash day essentials powered...

Pistachio has had its moment. Tomato long before that. Then we had the butter yellow brigade, stopped in its tracks when Hailey Bieber touted a “lemon-tini” summer. What could follow seasons of food-related color trends? A minty fresh refresh in the form of dressing like a cresting squirt of Colgate. Let’s call it, “toothpaste dressing.”“I feel like a...

This week, Zendaya delivered one of the most talked-about red carpet looks at the premiere of her film The Drama in Los Angeles: The star arrived wearing a silky white off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood gown that she first wore to the Oscars back in 2015. (It was fittingly bridal, to tie back to the film.) More than a decade...

Before we met her as the ambitious Elle Woods from Legally Blonde in 2001, Reese Witherspoon was climbing the ranks of Hollywood—and looking fabulous while doing it. Few icons encapsulate the laissez-faire mood of ’90s beauty quite like the Cruel Intentions star. When working the red carpet, Witherspoon knew to let her silky blonde tresses do the talking—adding...

Words and photographs by Mustafah Abdulaziz“In 2012, I began “Water” — a photographic series on the transformation of global landscapes under the strain of water scarcity. Prompted by a UN statistic that half the world’s population may face scarcity by 2030, I am interested in people who struggle to act upon their environment as much as they are...

Summer wedding season is on the horizon, which means your invitations are probably already rolling in. As you admire the design, your eyes may instinctively skip ahead to the location and discover you’re headed for beachside nuptials. Immediately, the question arises: What to wear? With more temperamental climates to consider, it takes a little planning to put together...

A good bag can take you many places, as we saw during the fall 2026 season. Going from show to after-party? Try an oversized clutch. Looking to make an impression? A brass handle bag will do the trick. Leopard was the print of choice for clothes this fall, but snake patterns dominated when it came to totes. Try...

Alexander Skarsgård has had a deliciously deviant, impeccable, impishly styled press tour run for his BDSM rom com Pillion. Working with stylist Harry Lambert, the Swedish actor works hard to keep us all titillated, with a refreshed take on the oft-trotted out method dressing trend.Appearing for a special screening of the movie in Berlin, Skarsgård looked pretty in...
