The impressive pool of 20 semifinalists competing for the annual LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers has been carefully narrowed to just eight names. The group hails from all walks of life, representing a variety of design techniques, business acumen, and technical skills. The one thing they have in common? A jury of industry all-stars saw something special in their work.

But the hard part is hardly over. On September 4, these eight designers will gather once again when the jury hands out the main Prize alongside the Karl Lagerfeld Prize and Savoir-Faire Prize. Last year, it was Soshiotsuki who received the big honor, with Steve O Smith, and Torishéju taking home the other two trophies, as well as the money and mentorship programs attached.

You may already recognize some of the names on the finalist list. Colleen Allen, Zane Li, and Julie Kegels have all been featured in the pages of W, while Daniel del Valle Fernandez made quite a stir last season with his debut collection for Thevxlley. But there are many brands still waiting for their moment in the spotlight, and the Prize could provide just the kind of support necessary to take their businesses to the next level. It’s never too early to familiarize yourself with tomorrow’s icons.

Colleen Allen

Designer: Colleen Allen

Location: United States

Specialty: Womenswear

Fans: Carey Mulligan, Hannah Einbinder, Lily Allen (no relation), Greta Lee, Mikey Madison, Ayo Edebiri

In just four seasons, Colleen Allen has managed to become a New York fashion darling. Really, though, it happened faster than that. Following Allen’s debut during the spring 2025 season, editors immediately took notice. Initially a menswear designer, Allen was introduced to womenswear during her time at The Row. Now, she is designing for her eponymous label, delivering seasonal collections that very carefully skirt a fantastical line. She’s often inspired by the mystical and spiritual, but she distills these ideas into distinctly modern collections. While some of her clothing can undoubtedly be described as “witchy,” what is more evident is the sense of a self-empowered woman dressing herself. A jacket is fitted at the waist and boasts Victorian-era hook-and-eye closures down the front, but its construction in fleece makes it contemporary (and a front-runner for your next hike). Her use of color has also been lauded, as she dabbles in poppy orange, saffron red, royal purple, and chartreuse. She picks her colors with care each season, the orange first entering due to its association with spiritual awareness. Most recently, Allen expanded into the accessory category with the release of bustle handbags, which can be worn under the arm or under the skirt. It is likely the first sign of major growth in the brand’s future.

De Pino

Designer: Gabriel Figueiredo

Location: France

Specialty: Womenswear

Fans: Lady Gaga, Hailey Bieber, Caroline Polachek, and Dara Allen

Gabriel Figueiredo staged his first runway show for his label De Pino during Paris Couture Week—a statement in itself. Amid the fait-main stalwarts came this young French label characterized by exaggerated silhouettes that provide a cheekiness to an otherwise sophisticated design language. Figueiredo is a student of fashion. Yes, he is a graduate of the Brussels visual arts school, La Cambre, from which he gained a master’s degree in fashion design in 2017, but his education extends beyond the purely academic setting. Figueiredo references icons like Lady Gaga and Martin Margiela (he’s done embroidery work for Maison Margiela), along with Tumblr, Style.com, and Nicolas Ghesquière’s Balenciaga days. In many ways, his designs embody this sense of nostalgia, but viewed through the eyes of a craftsman. “There’s definitely a childish vision of fashion,” he told W in 2024 after his debut. “It’s a mix between these really extreme sophistications, but also something childlike and fun.”

Institution

Designer: Galib Gassanoff

Location: Georgia

Specialty: Womenswear, menswear, and genderless

Galib Gassanoff could be considered a bit of a hometown hero. For three seasons, the Georgia-born designer has been championing the traditional craft and history of his country. For fall 2026, this meant employing weavers for three showpieces. They produced beautiful rugs, each of which required as many as 85,000 knots made from bouclé and felted double-face wool. The pieces brought color to a mostly neutral collection, as three models ended the show in beautifully crafted designs that were very obvious in their origins—rugs that had been draped on models in an obvious, yet still artistic way. Elsewhere, camouflaging was more central, as skirts and dresses made from shoelaces danced down the runway, creating incredible texture that needed to be studied to reveal its true nature. Fabrication is one of Gassanoff’s strengths, and he usually allows textiles to lead the way in his process, which has proven successful. But Gassanoff’s inspirations also carry weight. For fall 2026, the designer looked toward Georgian and Azerbaijani history—specifically, the story of women’s suffrage and political independence in those countries. Between the heaviness of history and the cheekiness of art and craft, Gassanoff has been able to thrive.

Julie Kegels

Designer: Julie Kegels

Location: Belgium

Specialty: Womenswear

When designing, Julie Kegels always thinks about women. That sounds like an obvious approach, but it’s the detail in which the Belgian designer considers her customer that makes the act unique. “I always have a group of women in mind, and they appear in different guises, in different stories,” she told W in 2025. “I think, Okay, this is for a woman who works at the library, is passionate about tennis, and loves to eat mango—I really get into the details.” The specifics are often where contrasts can be found. A working woman is one thing, but if she’s a working woman with three children who loves to spend her off days at the roller derby, she’s dressing very differently from her single-minded counterpart. And it’s within these contrasts and juxtapositions that Kegels finds inspiration. For three seasons (she launched in 2024), Kegels has been slowly amassing a fan base with her twisted classics. Last season, that meant a silk shirt dress imprinted with a shadow or a jacket featuring a cropped, rounded hem that gave the look of a woman walking with her hands on her hips. Kegels has mastered the art of surprise, but not at the expense of the clothes, which still boast an impressive level of wearability. “What I really love—and this is when things get interesting for me—is when something is a bit weird.”

Lii

Designer: Zane Li

Location: China

Specialty: Womenswear and menswear

Fans: Jennifer Lawrence, Ayo Edebiri, Greta Lee

Perhaps you’ve seen Jennifer Lawrence or Ayo Edebiri in an untraditional, layered fit recently—one that resembled a high-fashion take on the Joey Tribbiani moment in Friends when he asks, “Could I be wearing any more clothes?” Well, the women were dressed in Lii, one of the hottest brands of the moment. Founded by Chinese designer Zane Li after his graduation from the Fashion Institute of Technology, Lii rejects the fragility of fashion and instead focuses on the durable. This often means creating dresses and blouses from more traditional menswear fabrics. His inspirations of 1990s American sportswear and Cristóbal Balenciaga are clear within his work. Those seem like disparate ideas, but they encapsulate Li’s design ethos effectively. “People think that if you wear something ladylike or something old-fashioned and traditional, then you’re uncool,” he told W last year. “But I don’t think that way; I want to explore the possibility of putting practicality into glamorous dressing.” Li works with his husband, stylist Jason Rider, who helps with all aspects of the brand outside of designing. Together, the two have built Lii up to a fashion darling, one that mixes architecture and elegance with utility.

Petra Fagerström

Designer: Petra Fagerström

Location: Sweden

Specialty: Womenswear

Fans: Charli xcx

Petra Fagerström is creating fashion for the future by looking back. The Swedish designer uses traditional craft techniques to create modern designs. She launched her brand last year after graduating with her master’s from Central Saint Martins, and only just showed at fashion week for the first time. The theme for that collection stemmed from her experiences ice skating growing up in Gothenburg, an activity she gave up when she got into designing. The sartorial life of a skater was represented with sequins and fur trims, but also a warm-up top that could be an ancestor of the Dior Bar jacket. There is an understanding of fabrication, as well as a youthful excitement still prominent within Fagerström’s work. She utilizes an impressive technique of ironing and stitching to create optical illusions that blur right before one’s eyes. In an interview with Vogue, Fagerström spoke of her interest in cultural archetypes and if they “can be transformed into something sharper and more powerful, while rejecting the aspects of being a woman today that frustrate me.” That is clear in her first collection, but we will have to see where Fagerström takes the brand (and if the Prize will provide a boost to those endeavors).

Ponte

Designer: Harry Pontefract

Location: United Kingdom

Specialty: Womenswear and menswear

There’s an artistry in Harry Pontefract’s work. Some of it is immediately obvious, like a woman in his recent collection, Series Five, who’s surrounded by a dress of stockinged limbs in what could double as a museum-worthy sculpture. Other times, it’s more subtle, like a well-tailored suit with a charcoal-like glean, an effect that occurred when it was painstakingly colored in with pencils. The process took hours, which isn’t unique for Pontefract. And while he might work on a couture timeline, the results are impressively simple and wearable, something on which he prides himself. Of course, that isn’t true of everything (the stocking look may be hard to wear to the store). Pontefract understands that he sits within a space of juxtoposition “between art and fashion,” as he describes it to Vogue. And thus far, that placement has been a successful one for him. It’s Pontefract’s ability to combine the everyday with the unexpected that has turned him into a designer to watch.

Thevxlley

Designer: Daniel del Valle Fernandez

Location: United Kingdom

Specialty: Genderless

The line between art and fashion is even further blurred at Thevxlley (pronounced “the valley”). Daniel del Valle Fernandez grew up in Pilas, a small town near Sevilla, and moved to London at 19. He worked in floristry to make ends meet, so it’s no surprise that flowers seem to be a large theme of his work these days. They popped up repeatedly in The Narcissist, the collection he showed during London Fashion Week in February. Fernandez described the work as “a catalogue of obsessions.” It seems his focus was more so on those items—bread, ceramics, flowers—with their wearable nature becoming an afterthought. Fernandez pulled from his upbringing for the collection. His father is a baker, ceramics are ubiquitous in Southern Spain, and he even used his mom’s wedding dress. He was not traditionally trained, but learned from the craftsman whom he grew up around. The result is a physical manifestation of Fernandez’s creativity. A wooden corset acts as shelving for dozens of mini vases, while a dress is a still life blooming with wax flowers. Nothing is as it seems. A shirt is a vase, is a basket, is a loaf of bread. It’s confounding and strange, beautiful and funny. It’s fashion for art’s sake.

Yoshita 1967

Designer: Anil Padia

Location: Kenya

Specialty: Womenswear

Yoshita 1967 is all about craft—specifically the kind that hails from the cultures in which Padia was raised as an Indian boy growing up in central Kenya. After a short stint at Central Saint Martins, Padia went to Paris, where he spent time at Paco Rabanne, Y Project, and Jacquemus. There, he shaped his boyhood creativity into something more tangible. An early goal of Yoshita was to highlight often-overlooked skills from his upbringing. Because of that, all the crochet and embellishment details in his work are done by hand, a slow but rewarding process. A look through Padia’s debut collection, Temple Road, which showed at Paris Fashion Week, will find these techniques coming together in spectacular form. Brightly colored crocheted dresses are dotted with mirrors or little bells; the latter pops up throughout Padia’s work. “They are my obsession, because they hold so many layers at once: culture, dance, heritage, family memory,” he tells One. It’s a fitting symbol for Yoshita, which seems to encompass all of those things.

Nobody’s been pulling out the fashion stops this season quite like Anne Hathaway. The actress has been on a whirlwind international press tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2, complete with overlapping promotion for her pop star-centric thriller Mother Mary. While in London this week, she continued pulling double duty with an impressive aesthetic swap across two very different outfits—all in under 24 hours.

This morning, Hathaway’s Devil Wears Prada 2 tour continued with an appearance at the Victoria and Albert Museum in a tailored black velvet Giorgio Armani Privé coat dress. Her floor-length style featured exaggerated shoulders for a dynamic edge, while allover pearl embroidery brought a sprinkling of glamour. Stylist Erin Walsh finished Hathaway’s look with small diamond-covered hoop earrings and glossy cat-eye sunglasses. Meanwhile, a dark red manicure subtly nodded to The Devil Wears Prada’s signature red, black, and white color scheme, which Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt have all referenced across their various red carpet looks for the film in recent weeks.

However, Hathaway took an entirely different approach the night before. During a special screening of Mother Mary, the actress leaned into the movie’s ghostly themes with a dramatic gown from Iris Van Herpen’s spring 2020 couture collection. The sweeping black silk piece featured a matte skirt and flared sleeves, which flowed upwards into a series of thin, intricate cutouts. A high collar, rounded chest cutout, and cold-shoulder openings brought a sultry finish to her style, which was grounded with black cutout Aquazzura boots.

At their core, Hathaway’s two looks showed her prowess as a fashion chameleon. After all, it takes a special kind of star to pull off two themed aesthetics at once. Each look also showed a keen approach to styling pieces with an all-black palette, emphasizing texture and shape in the absence of color. Though the shade’s been at play in Hathaway’s wardrobe for each project, this back-to-back moment proved her ease in style adaptation across opposing ensembles.

Though they’ll move at a slower pace, Hathaway’s fashionable forays are far from over after The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mother Mary’s press cycles wrap. This summer, she’ll be back onscreen in the mythological epic The Odyssey and sci-fi thriller The End of Oak Street. Come fall, she’ll wrap the year taking on the titular role in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Verity. Clearly, Hathaway’s no stranger to versatility across different genres in the acting world. However, it’s abundantly clear she just be the ultimate fashion multitasker.

After a fashion month marked by an unprecedented wave of designer debuts, the resort and spring 2026 campaigns have landed, delivering a jolt of new energy as the world’s biggest houses unveil the visuals that will shape their next chapters. The aesthetic reset began early, with Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s fresh-faced first teaser for Loewe, lensed by Talia Chetrit, introducing an intimate point of view. Sarah Burton’s sophomore “Portrait Series” followed, featuring legendary punk musician and artist Paul Simonon alongside longtime friend of the house, Rooney Mara, in a suite of striking, spare photos that spotlight personality over polish. At Celine, Michael Rider launched a full-on charm offensive with “Infinite Possibilities,” a joyful array of images and video celebrating the house’s Charms collection in a deliberately maximal, more-is-more spirit. Ahead, all of the must-see campaigns setting the tone for 2026.

Prada

Instinctive collisions of attitude are at the center of Prada’s Days of Summer 2026 collection. Bella Hadid, Damson Idris, Louis Partridge, and Liu Wen lay on the pristine sand of an oasis. But all is not as it seems, and the chaos of the city sneaks in—it is inescapable.

Prada

The juxtaposition continues in the wardrobe. Tailored trousers gather sand, while elegant heels are tossed haphazardly aside. There is no room for preciousness here. These clothes were meant to be enjoyed and worn, however one pleases.

Nonfiction

Nonfiction debuts two new chypre eau de parfums to celebrate the start of spring: Dew & Light and Tears in Rain. Created in collaboration with perfumer Yann Vasnier, the scents evoke the clarity of early morning air and a forest after rainfall, respectively.

Nonfiction

For the corresponding campaign, Nonfiction enlisted New York–based creative duo Commission, Jin Kay and Dylan Cao, for their first art direction project outside of their own brand. In the images, scents are paired with fresh faces from New York, a new territory for Nonfiction, which opened a store in the city—its first outside of Asia—last month.

The brand’s founder, Haeyoung Cha, said the campaign aims to explore “the contrasting moods” of the two different fragrances, adding that this project “introduces a bolder, more evocative approach to scent storytelling.”

“Commission has always lived in the space between restraint, desire, and longing, and that’s exactly the energy we brought to Nonfiction,” Kay and Cao said in a statement. “We wanted the campaign to feel like a moment you can’t quite place but can’t forget, almost like the feeling of a memory that hasn’t fully surfaced yet.”

Gucci

Demna continues his exploration of the characters that reside within his Gucci universe. Generation Gucci focuses on a collective of individuals who, together, embody the new generation of the house.

Gucci

Eighty-four images make up the campaign, each photo showing off one look. Elements from Gucci’s history are combined to create a new outlook for the brand. Equestrian prints reference archival scarves and the Jack 1961 is reimagined. There is a reverence for the past combined with a determination to push forward.

Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs has enlisted Rachel Sennott to both write and star in its latest campaign. Titled “The Scene,” the project merges fashion, film, and entertainment to debut Marc Jacobs’s newest accessory: The Scene Bag.

Marc Jacobs

Sennott is joined by an all-star cast of Francesca Scorsese, True Whitaker, and Sandra Bernhard. The famous faces make cameos throughout the video as Sennott races around NYC in an attempt to secure an invite to the Met Gala at any cost.

“This campaign is about all the chaotic, ridiculous, and funny moments that make you feel seen or completely invisible,” Sennott says. “I wanted to capture that energy through storytelling that feels true to how we live now. The collection reflects that same spirit with pieces that move with you and let you show up however you want.”

Chanel

Nicole Kidman, Lily-Rose Depp, Pedro Pascal, and Ayo Edebiri make up the A-list cast of models who stepped in front of Craig McDean’s camera for Chanel’s latest eyewear campaign.

Chanel

Each star dons a pair of eyeglasses and sunglasses. Kidman cheekily peeks over her shades, while the prescription frames lend the actor a sense of wisdom. Similarly, Edebiri is every bit the Hollywood star in her retro sunglasses; the square lenses lend a demure look.

Chanel

A closer inspection of the new offerings reveals the stars’ dedication to Chanel house codes. Rose-Depp’s glasses feature a bold, two-toned arm, decorated with a rhinestone double C. Pascal’s, meanwhile, display the word “Chanel,” so there is no question of the brand he is sporting.

Saint Laurent

Justin Bieber was the star of the show at Coachella last weekend, but now it’s time to let Hailey take center stage. The model is the face of Saint Laurent’s new campaign, “Tangerine Temptation”—and there’s not an oversize hoodie in sight.

Saint Laurent

Bieber stands out in the shots by Nadia Lee Cohen. She is the queen of this Los Angeles home. Dressed in Anthony Vaccarello’s latest, Bieber takes us on a bit of a house tour.

Saint Laurent

She shows off her sun-kissed backyard and pool, but really, all eyes are on her color-blocked, asymmetric bathing suit. And who is looking at the sorry state of the yard when Bieber is standing on it in a gorgeous, rust-hued trench?

Moncler

Moncler doesn’t necessarily come to mind when one thinks of summer, but the brand is working to change that. Welcome Puffy Summer, a new collection that offers lighter takes on the brand’s signature puffers, perfect for seasonal weather shifts.

Moncler

Actor Jamie Dornan stars in the Puffy Summer campaign, showing off the collection’s system of lightweight layers and eye-catching colors.

“There’s something really interesting about taking what Moncler’s known for and shifting it into summer,” Dornan says in a statement. “You still get that sense of warmth and puffiness, just in a lighter, more relaxed way. The whole campaign has this real sense of joy and playfulness.”

Loewe

Loewe’s collaboration with Paula’s Ibiza returns, once again celebrating the vibrancy of summer with easy and playful pieces that highlight the craft of basketry and crochet.

Loewe

Images shot by Jack Pierson illustrate the versatility of the collection, placing it both on the beach and in the city. There is an emphasis on the natural world and its influence on the collection, but also the unstaged seduction of a summer spent in town.

Gucci

The “Art of Silk” is back as ten more archival Gucci scarves get a contemporary makeover. The character of the originals remains, while they’re simultaneously introduced to a more modern world.

Gucci

Designs including Your Majesty, Double Trouble, Morso D’Oro, and two exclusive Flora looks created for the opening of LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries are introduced (or reintroduced) with the project. Together, they represent some of Gucci’s most emblematic motifs.

Gucci

Alongside the project comes a campaign. This time, a variety of characters show off their scarves and the many ways they can be implemented into an outfit. It highlights the immense versatility of the classic piece.

Burberry

Simone Ashley and Tom Blyth take to the water for Burberry’s High Summer Campaign. The actors splash about in their finest checked swimwear while enjoying a day basking in the summer sun.

Burberry

The classic Burberry motifs are at play, with the check covering everything from swim trunks and bucket hats to beach-friendly totes and slides. Ashley and Blyth lounge in their respective ensembles, beckoning us to join them for a dip.

Miu Miu

The spotlight is on Miu Miu’s leather goods in a new campaign for the brand—though Gigi Hadid is not to be ignored. The model stars in images shot by Steven Meisel, and she is a lone figure in a primary-color world.

Miu Miu

Hadid sits in a quintessential bourgeois apartment, flanked by doors loosely painted green, blue, and red. This conventional environment is transformed with the use of color, which is reflected in Hadid’s accessories. The Arcadie and Wander bags from the Italian brand are never far from the model. Also rendered in bright hues, they’re the perfect representation of Miu Miu’s technique and craft.

Gucci

They say you can tell a lot about a person from their shoes, but really, it’s one’s bag that provides a true peek into their psyche. Someone who carries around a petite top-handle is very different from the gal who always has a stuffed tote on hand. In Gucci’s latest campaign, the brand explores this relationship between a person and their bag, considering the accessory as more than just an object, but a form of personal representation.

Gucci

“Beauty and the Bag” stars Kate Moss and Emily Ratajkowski, with each woman toting their respective purse. Moss gets the Borsetto, in its range of colors and sizes, while Ratajkowski tosses the Giglio over her shoulder.

Gucci

In the images—captured by Mert and Marcus—the bag is not an afterthought, something you grab on your way out the door, but a choice as important as any.

Chanel

Kylie Minogue fans, rejoice. Thanks to Chanel, the Australian pop star has reunited with French director Michel Gondry for the first time since 2002, when the pair worked on Minogue’s “Come Into My World” music video. And this time, fellow Aussie, Margot Robbie, is joining in on the fun.

Chanel

It’s all in the name of the Chanel 25 bag, which has proven to be a fan favorite since its launch last year. Now, Chanel is focusing on the mini version of the purse and its many colorways and materials.

Chanel

In the video, directed by Gondry and set to “Come Into My World,” multiple versions of Robbie bop around a Parisian neighborhood, each one toting their own Chanel 25 mini. Minogue makes a cameo in the video, which mimics the cloning effect of the original, featuring multiple Robbies, each holding their own Chanel 25.

Prada

Prada’s spring 2026 campaign takes a surreal turn with I, I, I, I am… Prada., a second chapter that enlists artist Jordan Wolfson to reimagine the house’s latest collection through his uncanny lens. Featuring a cast that includes Carey Mulligan, Damson Idris, Hunter Schafer, and Nicholas Hoult, the project introduces digitally rendered, dreamlike figures that hover between companion and alter ego—blurring the line between subject and projection.

Prada

Wolfson, a New York–born artist who rose to prominence in the 2010s, is known for his unsettling work across video, animatronics, and virtual reality, often probing the darker edges of technology, violence, and pop culture. His controversial VR piece Real Violence, shown at the 2017 Whitney Biennial, cemented his reputation as one of the art world’s most provocative voices but with Prada he gets a bit more playful.

Prada

In a series of spare vignettes, the campaign’s stars repeat an almost bird-like call of “I, I, I, I am...” alongside Wolfson’s human-meet-avian creatures. Watch the full video below.

Prada

Tiffany & Co.

Natalie Portman is the latest star to take on the role of a Tiffany & Co. global house ambassador, and the brand is celebrating the occasion with a new campaign featuring the Academy Award-winning actor.

Tiffany & Co.

Gordon von Steiner captured Portman at Tiffany’s Fifth Avenue flagship, The Landmark. The images are simple, but alluring, with an inconspicuous black wardrobe keeping the attention on Portman and the jewels adorning her.

Tiffany & Co.

Manhattan can be seen in the distance, but up close, there is Portman, showing off pieces from the Knot by Tiffany collection as she rests her hand elegantly on her shoulder.

Prada Re-Nylon

Prada continues to merge sustainability with storytelling in its latest Re-Nylon campaign, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Letitia Wright. Set against coastal landscapes from Hawaii to Japan, the actors appear in a series of images and accompanying documentary films produced with National Geographic CreativeWorks, highlighting the brand’s Sea Beyond initiative.

Prada Re-Nylon

Launched in 2019, Prada Re-Nylon reimagines the house’s signature fabric using regenerated materials sourced from ocean plastics and textile waste, underscoring a broader shift toward circular design. A portion of proceeds supports ocean education programs in partnership with UNESCO, reinforcing Prada’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and cultural impact.

Prada Re-Nylon

Rimowa

A new series from Rimowa highlights voices of the culture, giving them space to share personal stories while exploring the dedication and resilience required to master one’s craft. To kick off this new initiative, the luxury luggage brand has tapped Michelle Yeoh to star in episode one. There, we follow the Academy Award-winning actress as she receives the Honorary Golden Bear award at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival.

Rimowa

In addition to tagging along for this milestone moment, Rimowa has designed a bespoke case to house the Golden Bear. The meticulously crafted piece represents Rimowa’s dedication to craftsmanship as well as its celebration of extraordinary achievements.

Boss

Bosses take centerstage in Boss’s spring/summer 2026 campaign, and the brand’s newest ambassador, actor Meghann Fahy, is leading the pack.

Boss

Fahy—along with her campaign co-stars—embodies what it means to “Be the Next.” There are those who follow and those who inspire, lead, and light the way for others. The Boss campaign stars fall into the latter category. In their tailored vests and cropped trench coats, they’re ready to break through and turn their self-belief into strength.

Burberry

How does one celebrate an icon like the Burberry trench? With the help of other icons, of course. In honor of the brand’s 170th anniversary—and Thomas Burberry’s invention of the weatherproof fabric gabardine in 1879—Daniel Lee has gathered icons of film, music, sport, and fashion to don iterations of the classic design.

Burberry

Twenty-three global stars were selected, including Kendall Jenner, Jack Draper, Matthew Macfadyen, Kate Moss, Kid Cudi, and Teyana Taylor. The result is a cast that extends across generations and talent, with each person bringing a different perspective to the coat.

Burberry

Despite the large cast, there is a consistency among the photos, which were all shot by Tim Walker. Each star is depicted in black and white. And, of course, each wears the trench—but the little details (a pop of Taylor’s collar, the styling of Moss in sheer black tights and black leather pumps) show the versatility of the garment.

Moncler

The Eternal City of Rome acts as a backdrop for Moncler’s spring 2026 campaign. Steeped in history, yet still situated on the cutting edge of creativity, the city perfectly represents the timeless sophistication of Moncler.

Moncler

Italian actors Celeste Dalla Porta and Francesco Scianna star in the campaign, moving through the city with an understated elegance that cannot be taught.

Chanel

Chanel has updated its unisex sports watch, the J12. Along with unveiling a new signature style for the beloved classic, the brand has tapped two new faces for the accessory in Gisele Bündchen and Clément Chabernaud.

Chanel

The J12 was first inspired by water and the element’s soothing and peaceful nature, combined with its capability for unlimited strength. In the new campaign, Bündchen highlights these features, navigating a sailboat through rough waters, while listening to the ocean and reflecting as she goes. She is at home in the South of France, gaining power from the water as she dives into the waves.

Coach

“Explore Your Story,” Coach’s spring campaign, is all about storytelling, and the communities that form around books and reading. The brand tapped six Gen Z icons and asked them to choose a book, turning each one into a mini charm to wear on their Tabby bags. Elle Fanning went with Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen, while Storm Reid opted for I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou.

Coach

Fanning and Reid, along with the other global brand ambassadors, show off their choices in the spring campaign. Fanning enjoys some peaceful time in a wood-lined library, Sense & Sensibility in hand and the matching charm swinging off her bag. Reid, meanwhile, does her reading in the park, finding a nice patch of grass to engross herself in Angelou.

Acne Studios

Nadia Lee Cohen shot Robyn for Acne Studios’s spring 2026 campaign, turning the singer into a modern James Dean. Robyn is dressed in a cotton uniform shirt and high-waist slacks as she stares down the camera like she’s looking to fight it. Just like her upcoming album, Sexistential, the images capture the sensual experience of being alive.

Acne Studios

“I’ve always felt that when I wore long hair and dresses, it was like I was in drag—which of course can be both empowering and fun,” Robyn says in a statement about the campaign. “And this felt like another kind of drag. It was extremely satisfying to play around with—a way to project vulnerability and toughness at the same time, which is kind of my whole thing.”

Jimmy Choo

Bride-to-be Gabriette is sharing her “Rules of Engagement” with Jimmy Choo. “Your ring should bling,” she says in the video that accompanies the campaign. “And if it doesn’t, upgrade.”

Jimmy Choo

Dressed in Jimmy Choo’s 2026 bridal collection, as well as house signatures, Gabriette shares her requirements. “One pair of shoes is never enough.” She suggests at least four. Also, “Bags don’t have to be functional, just fun.”

Jimmy Choo

She ends her slate of advice with a reminder. “This is about love,” she says. “And looking hot...but mainly about love.”

Calvin Klein

BTS is back, which means we’ll see the K-pop group and its members everywhere soon enough—especially in the world of fashion. It’s no surprise, then, that Calvin Klein nabbed Jung Kook to front its spring 2026 denim campaign.

Calvin Klein

Jung Kook’s Mert Alas-shot campaign plays out in a series of settings. We see the boyband singer soak up inspiration in a record store, enjoy a seaside view from a glass-walled home, and vamp it up in studio. Together, Jung Kook and Alas take us on a denim journey, guided by their points of view and anchored by timeless CK denim.

Alaïa

Just like Pieter Mulier’s winter spring 2026 collection for Alaïa, the corresponding campaign, shot by Steven Meisel, is minimal, but still powerful. There is purity in the setting of the shots, allowing for the garments to hold the center of the image. The photos evoke a sense of nostalgia, but more significant is likely their ability to last.

Givenchy by Sarah Burton

Annie Leibovitz steps out from behind the camera to star in Sarah Burton’s latest campaign for Givenchy, joined by Kaia Gerber, artist Isabelle Albuquerque, and an array of models.

Givenchy by Sarah Burton

Collier Schorr is Burton’s chosen photographer once more, capturing images of women who represent the designer’s Givenchy. The shots are fairly simple, set in studio, and present these people as relaxed and comfortable in their garments. It’s a celebration of the clothing, of course, but also women’s joy.

Givenchy by Sarah Burton

The choice to include Leibovitz in the group blurs the lines of traditional roles. Who is the photographer? The muse? The model? Burton proves one can be all of these things and more.

Celine

This might be Celine’s summer 2026 campaign, but in many ways, it feels timeless. Perhaps that’s thanks to the freshness of Zoë Ghertner’s photography, or the bold pops of primary colors that break up the otherwise simple palette.

Celine

Despite the lack of a distinct setting, the campaign manages to still invoke feelings of summer. Chalk it up to the clothing: draped dresses, silk scarves, and poplin tops that feel light and easy. Wear them on a warm day without sacrificing style.

Balenciaga

Balenciaga’s Heart and Body campaign is all about the creation of a new community—a fitting theme, considering the recent arrival of Pierpaolo Piccioli as the label’s creative director. With new brand ambassadors and friends of the house entering the fold, Piccioli is creating a clan centered around his Balenciaga.

Balenciaga

New brand ambassadors Harris Dickinson and Winona Ryder, plus friend of the house Hudson Williams star in David Sims’s images, which were shot against a white background, allowing the individuals and clothing to speak for themselves.

Balenciaga

“I chose individuals, not characters,” Piccioli says in a statement. “Human beings with distinct stories, faces marked by experience, vulnerability, and nuance. I was not looking for constructed personas, but for real presence. At the center of summer 2026 is the creation of a new community—different, yet connected by shared values: respect, sensitivity, strength, freedom. Not sameness, but resonance.”

McQueen

The worlds of music and fashion converge in McQueen’s spring 2026 campaign, which highlights the intensity and the innate fire within women.

McQueen

Harley Weir’s images are dramatic, glowing orange with heat. The sun peeks through some shots, adding a sense of optimism—but a bare, twisted tree with gnarled branches haunts almost every image.

McQueen

In front of this seemingly portentous tree, musicians Caroline Polachek, Celeste, and Amy Taylor and models Alex Consani and Sora Choi vamp for the camera. They stare down the lens, adding to the overall ominous effect.

Ferragamo

Ferragamo’s spring 2026 collection is viewed through the eyes of award-winning director Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović. Inspired by the house’s cinematic heritage, Maximilian Davis tapped Kusijanović to tell the story of both the Ferragamo brand and family, while simultaneously showing off his latest collection.

Ferragamo

Each person presents a different perspective of the same collection, allowing further insight into both Davis’ Ferragamo and the legacy of the label.

Ferragamo

“When I’m creating a collection, I am always designing for a family of people,” Davis says. “The brand has always been built on the idea of family.”

Loewe

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez present their first campaign for Loewe, an energetic and colorful set of images shot by Talia Chetrit.

Loewe

The spring 2026 campaign stars a number of up-and-coming actors, including Isla Johnston, True Whitaker, and Talia Ryder. They don the graphic creations of McCollough and Hernandez’s Loewe, invoking a feeling of strength and whimsy.

Loewe

“We’re building a visual language that feels personal: confident, playful, sun-drenched, optimistic,” the two creative directors explain. “It articulates an energy we recognize as intrinsic to Loewe—joy, sensuality, and a modernity that feels instinctive rather than imposed.”

7 For All Mankind

Chloë Sevigny kicks off her tenure as 7 For All Mankind’s newest ambassador with a campaign. The actress showcases the brand’s spring 2026 offerings in a sunlit home, where photographer Brianna Capozzi’s lens captures Sevigny in her best denim.

7 For All Mankind

Sevigny lounges on a pristine white rug in an animal print coat. Elsewhere, she shows off her legs in a variety of miniskirts and shorts. Classic jeans are on display in the form of straight-leg and distressed styles, while more unexpected pieces—including a two-toned, collarless jacket—illustrate 7 For All Mankind’s range.

DKNY

For spring 2026, DKNY is expanding its ongoing exploration of fame as an art form. Fittingly, the brand has once again tapped one of the most famous faces of the moment, Hailey Bieber, to front the campaign.

DKNY

Inspired by the art scene in 1960s downtown New York, the campaign finds Bieber in an artist’s loft effortlessly dressed in canvas coats, pinstripe blazers, and tailored pants. In some shots, she forgoes a top—in others, pants. But almost always present is a monotone New York Yankees hat created in collaboration with the team and DKNY.

Dior

Yes, we are all focused on Jonathan Anderson’s Dior at the moment, but what about Victoire de Castellane’s Dior Joaillerie? The Parisian has been creating masterpieces as the artistic director of Dior jewelry since 1998, and she returns once again with another collection, this time defined by simplicity and grace.

Dior

The latest collection was inspired by 18th-century France, a time dear to the house of Dior. Chains filled with mother-of-pearl medallions and double-layered earrings provide personal touches to each outfit. Dior ambassador Mia Goth, for example, layers up three necklaces of varying lengths, while Ever Anderson dons a bib of pendants. The pieces, with their pops of color and star motifs, are both whimsical and classic, perfect for the narrative of Anderson’s Dior.

Jil Sander

Simone Bellotti follows up his debut collection for Jil Sander with its corresponding campaign, which asks the question, “Is it possible to take away while adding a personal signature?”

Jil Sander

The photos act as a study of opposites—protection and exposure, strength and vulnerability. Set against stark blue and white backdrops in studio, there is a sense of intimacy, but also distance. We are invited in—to a point.

Jil Sander

“A curiosity for the body is what I am after,” says Bellotti in a statement. “Posture and gesture as ways of communicating, clothes that invite to get close, that hide and reveal. Rationality and feelings.”

Chloé

The Chloé summer 2026 campaign follows the path of the sun. The shifting light and mood of the day act as the backdrop for the Sam Rock-shot images, a journey that embarks amid the first glow of sunrise and ends in the golden warmth of the sunset.

Chloé

The images feel inherently Chloé: feminine, light, carefree. The models stroll the beach in their ruffled skirts and draped dresses, the hem of trench coats dragging along the sand. They maneuver the boardwalk in heels and floral dresses and accessorize with oversized earrings and nothing else. One wants to join the group just as much as they want to sit back and observe. There is a sense of spontaneity that should not be disturbed.

Chloé

“I wanted to capture the rhythm of a summer day, the changing light, the warmth of the sun, and the feeling of slipping into a natural flow,” says Chloé creative director, Chemena Kamali. “A day in nature where every sense sharpens revealing a radiance and spontaneity that have always been at the heart of Chloé.”

Louis Vuitton

The French luxury house continues its yearlong celebration of the iconic Monogram with a new campaign. Shot by Glen Luchford and directed by Roman Coppola, the ads feature LV ambassadors and friends of the house Zendaya, Catherine Deneuve, Liu Yifei, and Hoyeon. The group pays tribute to 130 years of fine craftsmanship, style, and innovation. First up, Zendaya brings back the Speedy bag, a 1930s creation that received its Monogram stamp in 1959.

Tory Burch

Free yourself of winter’s chill and bask in the warm Antiguan sun with models Alex Consani, Hejia Li, and Awar Odhiang. The trio enjoys the comfort of Tory Burch’s vacation home while dressed in the designer’s newest offerings for the brand.

Tory Burch

American sportswear gets a romantic remix in the form of shredded silk and sheer polos decorated with beads. Ribbed halter-neck tops are paired with low-rise pleated skirts or trousers for comfort, and accessories are piled on for maximum effect.

Tory Burch

While the sun sets on Burch’s dreamy property, the wrinkled lamé of a button-down catches the light and wrap-around sunglasses protect the models’ eyes. Tomorrow, they will wake up, put on their sequin-adorned low pumps, grab their Romy bucket bag, and do it all again.

Giorgio Armani

The spring 2026 Giorgio Armani campaign invites viewers into the late designer’s Milan home, which is still inhabited by his right-hand man and business partner, Leo Dell’Orco. The images, taken by Oliver Pearch at the Via Borgonuovo residence, celebrate a return to brand origins and evoke a sense of continuity in the spirit of the designer’s legacy.

Giorgio Armani

Vittoria Ceretti and Clément Chabernaud star in the photos, which take place throughout the abode, both indoors and among the manicured gardens. The models showcase the brand’s newest offerings while surrounded by Armani’s personal objects, his favorite works of art, and his furniture—the pieces that inspired him every day.

Giorgio Armani

Portraits of Armani by Andy Warhol and Francesco Clemente act as backdrops for the models. The resulting images can be seen as a metaphor. While the Armani brand pushes forward, it will never forget its legacy, and the man who started it all.

Burberry

Burberry’s summer 2026 campaign is all about the relationship between fashion and music. The images celebrate the spirit of live performance and music’s ability to transform and inspire all who come in contact with it.

Burberry

The photos evoke the energy of the U.K. music scene. The models—including the legend herself, Twiggy—could easily be concertgoers, stage managers, or artists ready to hit the stage.

Burberry

“Music pushes boundaries, blurs lines, and defines the codes of fashion,” says Burberry’s creative director Daniel Lee. “It is about self-expression, originality, and belonging.”

Proenza Schouler

Proenza Schouler has revealed its first campaign under new creative director Rachel Scott. While Scott doesn’t make her debut until later in February during the New York Fashion Week fall 2026 season, the designer consulted on the brand’s spring 2026 collection and spearheaded its subsequent campaign.

Proenza Schouler

Proenza Schouler is now a woman’s world, thanks to Scott. That fact is made clear in the campaign, which was actualized by a team of women. We enter model Caitlin Soetendal’s world as she laughs and broods, lounges and contemplates. There are contradictions in her demeanor, but that makes her portrayal of womanhood all the more realistic.

Versace

Why have one photographer when you can have three? For its spring/summer 2026 campaign, Versace enlisted three creatives to capture Dario Vitale’s first and only collection for the brand.

Versace

Tania Franco Klein, Frank Lebon, and Steven Meisel all shared their take on Vitale’s work, with Meisel opting for arguably the most confrontational, literally laying out the clothes for the viewers’ pleasure. There’s a sensuality to the images—which features models strewn on top of each other on the floor—that is native to Versace.

Versace

Lebon’s depiction is more cinematic. The images feel like stills from a movie, a moment captured in time. Finally, Klein adds some mystery to the campaign, eschewing faces altogether, focusing instead on color, texture, and feeling.

Re/Done

Kaia Gerber has officially joined Re/Done as an investor and creative partner in a role where she will work closely with the leadership and design teams across the denim brand in shaping its strategy, collection development, and storytelling. Her first task under the new job was the creation of the brand’s spring 2026 campaign, starring Gerber alongside model Secret Snow.

Re/Done

Gerber has long been a fan of Re/Done, making the appointment a natural fit. “The brand represents a lifestyle rooted in authenticity, individuality, and timeless style,” she said in a statement. “I’ve loved being part of its journey.”

Re/Done

For the campaign starring Snow, Gerber actually did the casting. “I’m excited to help shape what comes next—creating products and stories that feel personal, intentional, and deeply connected to today’s generation,” Gerber added.

Miu Miu

Miu Miu’s spring 2026 campaign takes place indoors, but nature still remains an integral part of every image. Shot throughout the day, from dawn until dusk, the photographs show moody shadows, or else a room awash with orange light.

Miu Miu

Singer and songwriter Olivia Rodrigo stars in the campaign shot by Jamie Hawkesworth. And like the setting, which toes a line between the indoor and outdoor, the wardrobe represents an aesthetic that straddles industrial and feminine. A crocheted apron tops an oversize, wool quarter-zip, while a sturdy leather coat is layered over a sweater embroidered with jewels.

Miu Miu

Rodrigo and the rest of the cast stoically stare down the camera in some shots, while letting emotion reign in others. The result is a set of images encompassing a space somewhere between the wild and civil—and frivolity and functionality.

Tiffany & Co.

Love is in the air at Tiffany & Co. this Valentine’s Day, specifically between house ambassador Adria Arjona and her adoring (faux) husband. The actress stars in Tiffany’s V-day short film, playing a wife getting showered in compliments (and diamonds) by her partner.

Tiffany & Co.

In the film, Arjona wears a HardWear by Tiffany graduated necklace and matching earrings and bracelet, as well as a Tiffany Setting engagement ring. The classic, wearable pieces play into the narrative of the campaign—sometimes, the greatest love stories are often the ones we live every day.

Gucci

Gucci’s “The Gathering” celebrates chosen family and modern relationships. The images, shot around a shared table, feature those from different generations coming together to both exchange stories and create new memories.

Gucci

Dressed in looks from the La Famiglia collection, various characters are represented, but there’s a connective through-line between all of them, especially when they come together in a shared, meaningful moment.

Calvin Klein

Forget about “My Calvins,” it’s time to share your favorite underwear—so Calvin Klein is upgrading its iconic campaign to “Our Calvins,” asking, “Who in your life do you share your Calvins with?”

Calvin Klein

And is there a more perfect opportunity to launch this new campaign than ahead of Valentine’s Day? The brand’s V-day collection takes center stage in the Our Calvins campaign, modeled by Tell Me Lies stars (and real-life couple) Grace Van Patten and Jackson White.

Calvin Klein

Images shot by Zora Sicher provide an inside look into Van Patten and White’s love, with an emphasis on those quiet, casual moments at home, when all you need is your coziest underwear and your favorite person by your side.

Self-Portrait

Apple Martin returns as the face of another Self-Portrait campaign, this time starring in images that are unquestionably rawer than anything we’ve seen from the brand in recent years.

Self-Portrait

While Self-Portrait is known for its feminine designs with a tilt toward sparkle and sequins, the dresses Martin models are minimal. She’s pictured in the water in upstate New York, dressed in soft laces and airy chiffons, all white and beige. It represents an evolution for the brand, but also for young Martin.

Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta’s summer 2026 campaign is set among the streets and landmarks of Venice, Italy. The images both honor the house’s roots in the northeastern Italian city, and introduce a new chapter under creative director Louise Trotter.

Bottega Veneta

Eye-catching details and luscious textures found in the various palazzos, gardens, and shops are mirrored in Trotter’s debut collection. The clothing is in conversation with these structures, as well as the art and culture housed in each one.

Loro Piana

Loro Piana’s spring 2026 collection is on display in the brand’s latest campaign—and so is Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a village in the heart of Provence, France, where photographer Mario Sorrenti captured models parading around the town’s landmarks.

Loro Piana

The Colombe d’Or and the Fondation Maeght act as backdrops, as models play cards by the hotel’s pool and take a break against the red brick of the museum. These establishments have long represented gathering places for friends, family, and artists, and in this campaign, they still hold that role.

Loro Piana

The collection feels at home among the art, against a Marc Chagall fresco or the Joan Miró Labyrinth fountain. Vibrant hues and sophisticated patterns adorn the models, who complement the environment (and the Alberto Giacometti sculptures).

Dolce & Gabbana

Many consider Madonna to be “the one”—the number-one pop diva, cultural icon, performer, and so much more. So it’s only fitting for Dolce & Gabbana to tap her to star in its new monumental campaign celebrating 20 years of The One perfume. In the images, the singer (who has a long history of working with D&G) lays atop Cuban actor Alberto Guerra on a bed with satin sheets. The shots, as well as a corresponding short film, are a celebration of tradition and reinvention, as the campaign coincides with the launch of new takes on the classic fragrance.

Gucci

Gucci’s La Famiglia is back. After unveiling an array of well-dressed personalities for his first collection for the brand in September, Demna is returning to these opulent tropes for the Gucci: La Famiglia campaign.

Gucci

Images captured by Catherine Opie depict the cast of characters residing in the House of Gucci, plus the brand’s history and many eras, in preparation for Demna’s future collection to be revealed at Milan Fashion Week in February.

Gucci

Those who have been following Demna’s Gucci will recognize the group. Once again, there stands “Incazzata” in her ’60s-style coat and silk scarf-wrapped head. “The V.I.C.,” meanwhile (or Very Important Client) is logo’d-up, head-to-toe in the house’s double-G monogram. Each character is distinct, with a unique style and persona, but together, they embody the legacy of a brand entering a new era.

Saint Laurent

Over 20 years after its debut in the Saint Laurent spring 2002 collection, the Mombasa bag is back, this time in three sizes. Bella Hadid, who has been seen carrying the original in the past, is leading the campaign, introducing an updated version of the iconic accessory.

Saint Laurent

The new iteration includes all the elements we love about the original—the natural slouch, which allows for an effortless look, plus the perfectly designed leather shoulder strap for easy carrying. It already has Bella’s approval, and will no doubt show up on the shoulders of other It girls very soon.

Prada

While much of the world is being inundated with AI advertisements and digitally enhanced images, Prada is looking in a different direction. For the brand’s spring 2026 campaign, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have tasked American artist Anne Collier to execute a portfolio of images that challenges the idea of the usual fashion campaign in the digital age.

Prada

Collier’s work jumps off the screen, showing qualities of a physical object. Disembodied hands hold up the images, shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, allowing for a new perspective. Sometimes bare, sometimes donning silk gloves, the hands allow the photos to exist on a new plane, while simultaneously creating a story. Who is this person admiring the photos?

Prada

While the handler remains anonymous, the models they’re admiring are anything but unknown. Hunter Schafer, Nicholas Hoult, Carey Mulligan, and Damson Idris, among others, pose for the camera—and the viewer’s pleasure.

Dior

Jonathan Anderson debuted his vision for Dior over the course of two shows last year, dividing each collection into men’s and women’s. But for the spring 2026 campaign, the complete world of Anderson’s Dior is finally coming together.

Dior

In the David Sims-shot images, Anderson’s Dior walks the line between reality and performance. There is a pomp to the clothes and their compositions: sweaters flare out into capes, and lace dresses explode backward into gravity-defying bows. The models lounge, dance, and vamp it up just so.

Dior

Greta Lee leads the charge, followed by actors Louis Garrel and Paul Kircher, models Laura Kaiser and Saar Mansvelt, and footballer Kylian Mbappé. After walking in the Dior women’s show in October, Nicole Kidman’s daughter, Sunday Rose, also returns in the ads. The people morph into new characters in their Dior digs; they’re simultaneously themselves, but also a heightened, newer version.

Saint Laurent

Charli xcx dons two anoraks in the new campaign for Saint Laurent’s spring 2026 collection. And if the outerwear looks familiar to you, it’s because the singer has actually worn one of the pieces before.

Saint Laurent

Back in September, Charli attended Anthony Vaccarello’s show in Paris wearing the same red jacket and lace shorts from the campaign. She matched Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Rosé in the front row. Now, though, Charli is showing off the pieces solo, in a campaign shot by Glen Luchford.

Celine

Charms continue their complete takeover of the fashion world—and now, the customizable accessory is getting a starring role in a Celine campaign.

Celine

Originally presented on the runway, the Celine charms allow for a unique form of personal expression, with pieces to be worn however the owner desires—on bracelets or necklaces, as brooches, or dangling off a bag, of course.

Celine

There are infinite possibilities when it comes to the Celine charms, especially with new designs being introduced each season.

Givenchy by Sarah Burton

“My friends are often my muses, and my muses often become my friends,” says Givenchy creative director Sarah Burton. The relationships she describes are on display in Givenchy’s latest campaign, Friends and Muses.

Givenchy by Sarah Burton

The second portrait series created for the brand stars actor Rooney Mara and punk icon and artist Paul Simonon. The images, shot by Collier Schorr, are simple, yet striking—highlighting an intimacy enjoyed only by close comrades.

Loewe

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez teased their first collection with Loewe about a week before its debut, featuring a campaign starring Sorry, Baby director Eva Victor and actor Isla Johnston.

Loewe

The images acted “as an opening gesture, the outset of a new dialogue,” McCollough and Hernandez said. With these photos, shot by Talia Chetrit, the designers set a tone, one defined by “vibrancy and tactility rooted in craft.”

Today, Dakota Johnson and Alessandro Michele have proven one of fashion’s most loyal designer and muse pairings. Since taking the helm at Valentino, he’s dressed the actress in everything from lace hot pants to retro cutouts—a surprisingly maximalist streak for the typically minimalist Johnson, but one she’s wholeheartedly embraced. At last night’s Time100 Gala, her latest look by the Italian label was surprisingly statuesque while still making a statement.

Johnson floated onto the carpet at Jazz at Lincoln Center for the occasion in a sweeping white gown, complete with a smoothly draped bodice and thin spaghetti straps. The stark style packed a dramatic punch from its matching cape, which was clasped beneath glittering sequined feathers. Together, both pieces created an angelic effect, with added sparkle from Roberto Coin’s elegant diamond drop earrings, rings, and a diamond-covered bracelet.

Johnson’s attire wasn’t without a surprise, however. Stylist Kate Young paired the actress’s heavenly dress with gothically black leather mules, enhanced with a glamorous twist. The dark, pointed-toe style was topped by crystal-coated snakes, a signature Michele motif across his current Valentino era and his days at Gucci. Johnson’s always rife for a clever contrast on the red carpet, and this latest outing was no exception.

Capes have been subtly trending this year across runways and red carpets, as well—in fact, Johnson’s fellow Time100 honorees Hilary Duff and Kate Hudson also wore the shape at the same event. Furthermore, it’s a favored silhouette of Michele’s, whose swirling iterations have encompassed feline beadwork, colorful sequins, rich velvets, and more ornate details over the years.

During Michele’s previous tenure at Gucci, Johnson became a loyal brand ambassador who frequently wore his intricate designs across red carpets and campaigns. It seems they were destined to come back together. Since Michele took the helm at Valentino, Johnson’s quickly become a brand ambassador and campaign star for the house. Now, after stepping out in some of its most dynamic ensembles, she’s affirmed that aesthetics might transform over time—but friendship is always in style.

Sometimes it feels like fresh handbags are hitting the market every single day. Just moments after you swipe your card for a new going-out bag, a casual scroll through Instagram may reveal another contender. Every time Bella Hadid steps out on the town, or Dua Lipa posts a new photo, they have a new covetable carry-all by their side. It’s downright overwhelming, but it’s not surprising. Accessories have long been a major seller for luxury brands, and there’s an incentive to release new and updated pieces. Are we to blame for wanting them all?

The situation has gotten even bigger thanks to the constant designer debuts. It seems that whenever someone takes the helm at a brand, they’re expected to couple their first collection with a new bag. The spring 2026 season brought with it many inaugural collections from new creative directors—and now, we’re reaping the benefits. Since the beginning of the year, many bags have become available, and they’re already in the closets of fashion’s most influential faces. Yes, you can collect them all, but if you’re attempting to be more selective (and save a few bucks), see below for a breakdown of the year’s It bags, so you can determine which one (or two...or three) will be right for you.

Gucci Borsetto

The Gucci Borsetto is one of those handbags you know about before it even launches, because you see it on the arms of all your favorite It girls. Prior to becoming available to the public earlier this year, the accessory was already seen held by Alex Consani and Vittoria Ceretti. Since then, Demi Moore, Kate Moss, and Dua Lipa have given the design their expert seal of approval too (with Moss also starring in the bag’s campaign).

The name Borsetto comes from an amalgamation of borsa (Italian for “bag”) and morsetto (Italian for “horse bit”). Of course, the piece features Gucci’s iconic horse bit, placed on the front of the bag atop the house’s two-tone stripe. With an elongated zipper and detachable strap, the Borsetto allows for versatility; an array of colors offers a more subtle look—black leather, brown suede—or something a bit more flashy with the classic GG monogram.

Bottega Veneta Veneta

Jacob Elordi has one of the best bag collections out there, and if he cosigns a design, it’s worth a second look. Of course, Elordi is a Bottega boy, so it’s no surprise the actor was one of the first to get his hands on the brand’s newest Veneta bag. The Veneta was first created in the ’70s by Bottega cofounder Renzo Zengiaro before being reintroduced under its current name in 2002. Last year, as part of spring 2026—Louise Trotter’s first with the brand—the Veneta was reimagined in four new sizes. The updated Veneta also features leather strips of 1.2cm width, padded out with a soft interior filler, allowing for a more cushioned feel. It has already proven to be a favorite of Julianne Moore, Olivia Dean, and Elle Fanning.

Loewe Amazona 180

No, this isn’t just a list of Kate Moss’s favorite bags (we already did that). It’s just that the model is always on the cutting edge of accessories. That’s why it’s no surprise she was one of the first to get her hands on the new Loewe bag, one of the many spring 2026 designs that fall under the “Pickpocket Bags” category. When the Amazona 180 first appeared at Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s debut show for the house, it was presented unzipped. And while you may have thought that was just a styling technique, here Moss is, proving the look can be taken to the streets (with caution).

Of course, the zipper does work, so those afraid of losing their phone need not fear—and the style also fits under the shoulder for extra protection. The Amazona 180 (named for Loewe’s 180th anniversary) also features a removable crossbody strap and comes in a variety of colors, as well as three sizes. Moss opted for the large in black leather, but the mini in blue makes for a perfect, bright addition of color to any outfit.

Versace Pivot

Versace is championing the continuing domination of the bucket bag, a silhouette that has often been ignored by luxury brands despite its extreme popularity on the street. Straight from Dario Vitale’s debut (and only Versace show), the Pivot Bag leapt off the runway and onto the arms of Alex Consani, Chloë Sevigny, and Amanda Seyfried. It brings some color to this lineup, with offerings in cobalt blue and aquamarine suede. But those looking for something subtler will also be drawn to the black, camel, or chocolate brown leather. And, of course, upon the front lies the classic Versace Medusa emblem—lest anyone mistake the bag for another brand. It is flanked by a chain that swoops from the lip to the side strap for an extra flourish that feels quintessentially Versace.

Chanel Maxi Flapbag

The most elusive of this new crop of bags is undoubtedly Matthieu Blazy’s ludicrously capacious take on Chanel’s classic Flap. After debuting on the runway during the spring 2026 season (Blazy’s first with the brand), the collection released to much fanfare in March. Everyone wanted to get the bag, but most walked away empty-handed—adding, of course, to the appeal. It also helps, of course, that the purse is equal parts chic and practical, with its large size allowing for use as a work or travel bag. And while the layman may continue to struggle to add the Maxi Flapbag to their closet, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Jennie, and even Harry Styles have been taunting us, flaunting their own acquisitions on the street.

Valentino Garavani Devain

Many of the bags on this list fall squarely in the “everyday” category, but with its latest offering, Valentino is suggesting an accessory for evening. First presented in the pre-fall 2025 collection, the Devain has been seen on everyone. And we mean everyone: Sabrina Carpenter, Dakota Johnson, Olivia Rodrigo, Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez, Bella Hadid, Margot Robbie...the list goes on. That’s likely due to the versatility: the accessory comes in a wide swath of colors, fabrics, and embellishments, allowing one to mix and match, working the Devain into their existing wardrobe. There’s a denim version embroidered with flowers, a metallic blue one covered in sequins and beads, a completely crocheted option—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The many iterations make the bag feel customizable. And as an added bonus, the variety decreases the chance of you carrying the same bag as your best friend on a night out.

In fashion, the ‘90s are a constant source of inspiration—but in 2026, nostalgia for the decade has soared to new heights. Some stars want to channel the era’s signature minimalism with current collection, others prefer wearing archival pieces or full runway look recreations instead. Hailey Bieber chose the latter route when attending this year’s Time100 Gala, embracing the decade’s sexier side with an unexpected reference.

Bieber arrived to Jazz at Lincoln Center for the event in a shimmering Calvin Klein Collection gown, which featured a floor-length skirt and spaghetti-strapped bodice with a structured inner bra. The piece was actually a recreation of a spring 1992 Calvin Klein dress, crafted in silver and lilac floral lace that proved both formal and romantically feminine. The decade’s clean minimalism was also seen in the Rhode founder’s accessories, including matching silk pumps, glinting diamond earrings, and a thin silver bracelet watch.

Aside from its nostalgia, Bieber’s blossoming dress also referenced a top ‘90s fashion figure: Calvin Klein’s wife, Kelly Klein. Klein was a longtime muse to her designer husband, and actually wore the original dress that inspired Bieber’s look to the 1992 CFDA Awards shortly after its runway debut. Like Bieber, Klein kept her accessories to a minimum to further highlight the dress’s metallic sheen and intricate detailing at the time. Over 30 years later, it appears great minds think alike.

While everyone else has put Carolyn Bessette Kennedy on their mood board in the wake of America Love Story, Bieber has artfully swerved by directly channeling Kelly instead. Klein, played by Leila George in the series, was Kennedy’s friend and championed a similar sort of minimalist style. Though, unlike Kennedy, she had a particular fondness for a metallic moment.

As for Bieber, her Calvin Klein Collection dress continued her love affair with archival fashion. The star’s amassed a penchant for wearing vintage runway pieces and throwback styles in recent years, from her John Galliano-designed Dior slip dress at Coachella to Tom Ford-era Gucci, 2000’s Versace, and a ladylike Chanel evening bag. Her outing in Klein’s recreated dress continued that vigor, proving again that standout style isn’t limited to just one decade. Indeed, everything old is new again.

It feels like we’ve been talking about The Devil Wears Prada 2 for eons. Ever since those first paparazzi shots from set appeared online last summer, the chatter has been non-stop. Now, for the past month, the stars of the film have been on a seemingly never-ending press tour, traveling from country to country for premieres, press conferences, and photo ops, with every stop turning into a headline-making moment.

That’s, of course, thanks in part to the stars’ rotating wardrobe. Wherever Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt go, there’s no question that an array of luggage follows. Every time we see one of the film’s main trio, they’re in another custom or right-of-the-runway ensemble. In fact, the other night, at the European premiere, the threesome all engaged in an unexpected outfit change, each debuting not one, but two show-stopping looks within the same evening. It’s enough to exhaust even the most ardent fashion or pop culture fan, so do not feel bad if you’re struggling to keep up. We all have jobs, kids, and lives to attend to; we don’t have time to keep track of this never-ending sartorial parade. Still, though, there are some notable moments in there (Streep, specifically, has been turning out some must-see outfits). So, to make sure you don’t miss even one, we’re rounding up all the looks from the DWP2 press tour. That’s all.

After an array of premieres, Anne Hathaway stepped into a slightly more comfortable look as she continued to promote the The Devil Wears Prada sequel in London. The actor wore a gray knit set featuring a peplum top hemmed in fur from Stella McCartney fall/winter 2026. She paired the ensemble with suede maroon So Kate pumps from Christian Louboutin and Bulgari sunglasses.

The real star of Streep’s European premiere look is the custom Judith Leiber Runway clutch, which she wore with her sophisticated satin Prada ensemble.

Hathaway was joined by Donatella Versace at the European premiere, which was appropriate considering the actor wore a midnight blue, velvet Atelier Versace dress featuring a nude illusion corset and Medusa buttons down the front.

The trio was completed by Blunt, who, like Streep, wore pants to the European premiere, albeit with an overskirt. The ensemble was courtesy of Balenciaga spring 2026.

Following the premiere, the women attended “A Night With Runway” gala reception, for which a wardrobe change was necessary. Streep broke the unspoken black, white, and red dress code for the evening, but it was worth it given the high glamour of this sequin-covered Richard Quinn fall 2023 coat.

Hathaway, meanwhile, changed into a custom striped Louis Vuitton gown featuring a layered skirt, which she paired with Bulgari jewelry.

Freeing her legs, Blunt arrived to the second event in a lace mini dress from Dior spring/summer 2026 couture, which she wore with Jimmy Choo platform heels.

The red looks continued at the New York premiere, where Streep showed up in an Andre Leon Talley-adjacent cape dress from Givenchy by Sarah Burton fall 2026.

Hathaway matched her costar in another custom Louis Vuitton dress. This one boasted a silk bustier corset top and exaggerated tea-length skirt.

Blunt broke up the sea of red by attending the New York premiere in an extremely dramatic look from Schiaparelli spring 2026 haute couture.

Later, she got more comfortable and changed into a Balmain fall 2026 top and skirt to attend the premiere after party with her husband, John Krasinski.

I think we can all agree that this Gucci fur coat was basically made to be worn by Streep.

Suiting has been a staple for Streep throughout this press tour. She headed to the SiriusXM studio on April 20 in a black tailored Celine look featuring not one, not two, but four belts, and Bared Footwear boots.

Another NYC outing called for a Dolce & Gabbana maroon patent leather trench, which Streep threw over a Gabriela Hearst dress and finished off with a suede Manu Atelier bag.

Hathaway promoted the sequel on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in a Versace fall 1991 black mini dress, originally worn by Naomi Campbell on the runway.

Is that Meryl or Miranda? It’s honestly hard to tell. We could totally see the Runway boss in this Saint Laurent fall 2025 satin coat dress.

Hathaway went in a slightly more demure direction to promote DWP2 in Shanghai. The actor wore a tulle-covered Susan Fang fall 2026 dress, quite the contrast to Streep’s look.

If there’s a red suit out there, someone from the DWP2 cast nabbed it for the press tour. Here, we see Streep in a Prada double-breasted jacket with wide-leg pants for a press conference in Seoul.

Clearly, volume is one of the themes of this press tour, and Hathaway hit the brief when she attended a press conference for the film in Seoul wearing this Vaquera spring 2026 look.

The Seoul premiere of DWP2 called for an all-black Celine look featuring high-waisted pants, a draped top, and a leather belt to pull it all together.

Hathaway first got into the red theme in Seoul, when she wore a leather Balenciaga fall 2026 set to one of the movie’s first premieres.

Some of Streep’s best looks this press tour haven’t even been on the red carpet. Here, we see the actor en route to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert wearing a leopard print Givenchy by Sarah Burton pre-fall 2026 pussy bow coat, accessorized with The Hudson bag from DeMellier.

The two DWP2 stars attended a Mexico Fashion Week event in contrasting looks. Streep wore a dark blue Schiaparelli shirt dress while Hathaway opted for a Stella McCartney fall 2026 sequined mini with the same thigh-high boots from the runway.

Hathaway and Streep kicked off the press tour in Mexico back in March. Hathaway wore Schiaparelli fall 2025 to the first event, while Streep set the red precedent in a custom Dolce & Gabbana suit.

The boss is in! While celebrating her brand’s new Gap collaboration, Victoria Beckham took her love of suiting to New York City. Though her office-ready pieces were certainly sharp, Beckham’s sensibility was anything corporate.

Beckham’s look for the occasion included an oversized dark gray blazer, worn over her go-to white T-shirt. A pair of wide-legged trousers brought her look a relaxed, yet streamlined complement, cinched with a thin brown leather belt. A gleaming watch on a gray ridged band, brown pointed heels, and large squared black sunglasses finished her look with a simple, yet sharp mix of classic neutrals.

Beckham’s relaxed take on suiting was exactly on par with her previous tailoring looks. The star’s regularly worn matching pieces in a similarly nonchalant fashion, always with a T-shirt—which she’s frequently paired with her de-facto denim on and off-duty, as well. From its oversized silhouette and timeless shades, Beckham’s outfit was a modern upgrade to classic suits with the same easygoing touch she’s given her own collections and collaborations over the years.

The star’s launch party at West Village hotspot People’s was also a true family affair. David made a sharp complement to Beckham in a dark navy jacket and trousers, complete with white slip-ons. Meanwhile, their children Romeo and Harper were also present, wearing Gap denim and athleisure to create an especially coordinated night out.

Beckham’s event for her Gap collection continued a particularly busy week for the star. Since her Gap line’s announcement, she’s appeared on numerous morning shows and sat down for an onstage Time100 discussion—which also followed her inclusion in Time’s annual list of the world’s most influential figures. After this latest outing, Beckham proved no schedule is too chaotic if you’ve got a chic sartorial moment—and family—in your corner.

Throughout The Devil Wears Prada 2’s sweeping press tour, Simone Ashley has been having fun with fashion. The actress’s looks have ranged from elegant pops of color to high-fashion gorp-core, spanning brands both independent and established. Her latest ensemble, archival Versace from the spring 2016 collection, added a dash of wild glamour to her repertoire.

For the sequel’s London premiere reception at the National Gallery, Ashley made a wild statement in a sheer olive green slip dress covered in swirling tiger stripes. The jungle-ready piece was overlaid with glittering green-gold, black, and lime sequins mimicking peacock feathers, creating bursts of texture with a glamorous flair. Tufts of dark feathers added to the style’s dramatic feel, while gleaming diamonds and black satin sandals classically finished her attire.

Ashley’s throwback Versace dress showed another side to statement dressing for the occasion. Meryl Streep wore a sparkling dark purple cape on the red carpet, while Emily Blunt’s sheer Dior minidress and Anne Hathaway’s striped gown delivered geometric drama. With the cast’s international premiere looks referencing the film’s cult-loved moments, Ashley’s latest seemed to nod to the animal patterns frequently seen in Miranda Priestly’s (Streep) wardrobe from the original movie—a hint at her character Amari’s dedication to both Priestly and Runway.

Her outfit also wholeheartedly embodied the cosmopolitan “urban jungle” inspirations of Versace’s spring 2016 collection. That same phrase was also the theme of a Central Park photo shoot from the original Devil Wears Prada, a coincidence eagle-eyed fans will be quick to recall.

Ashley’s statement minidress wasn’t her only bold vintage ensemble during this round of The Devil Wears Prada 2 press, however. Earlier that day, the actress popped in an archival one-shouldered dress from Thierry Mugler’s 1984 resort collection during the film’s London premiere. Her bright pink style featured a one-shouldered bodice with a belted waistline and flared hips, which she boosted with matching pumps.

Throughout her The Devil Wears Prada 2 looks, Ashley’s taken the opportunity to play with fashion across different aesthetics and sensibilities. At the movie’s New York City premiere, she shone in a custom chartreuse Prada dress with rare green Garatti diamonds. Other outings have seen her wering surrealist LOVEBIRDS, vibrant Fidan Novruzova, and a motorsport fall 2003 Balenciaga set by Nicholas Ghesquière. Despite their variety, all of these looks show an open-minded, diehard love of fashion as art—a value we’re sure to see from Amari onscreen once the film debuts on May 1.

Ashley’s throwback Versace dress was the latest feather—literally—in her sartorial cap. Having proven her adaptability, the actress’ fashion prowess is clearly one to watch.

The last of the generational planets is moving signs. This is the final culture-shifting transition of the decade: with Uranus leaving the soft, stable, and sensual sign of Taurus, we are about to be whisked away in a free, fluid, and fast-paced flurry of Gemini energy.

This isn’t completely new, though. We got a taste of Uranus in Gemini last year. Remember when everyone crashed out over AI, new protests were popping up every day all over the world, new media sources were created and legacy platforms were consolidated...? Yep, that was all Uranus in Gemini, marking the dawn of a new era.

This year is particularly significant for Uranus in Gemini, because the planet of rebellion, change, and advancements in culture meets up with all the other movers and shakers of the cosmos. A quick recap before I dive into the good news: Uranus in Gemini revolutionizes the way we communicate. It often brings us a surplus of ideas, and information that can shock, inspire, confuse, bewilder, and even send you down a path of enlightenment. Objectively, this is a fabulous transit. Uranus loves air signs. Barriers that restrict the free flow of connection will be broken down, and networks will become a beautiful web, full of depth.

The biggest piece of advice I can give for this period of time is to stay curious. If you have a question, dig deep for the answers. If something piques your interest, explore every facet of it. Don’t settle for simplicity—force yourself to embrace a childlike spirit that sees the world as full of endless potential, rather than a rigid system with rules to follow. Uranus is a rule-breaker, innovating systems by flipping the status quo the middle finger. Gemini allows you to do that with some flexibility.

This summer will be juicy one, thanks to Uranus. Between July 15-21, Uranus has hot dates with Neptune, Pluto, and Jupiter (all harmonious). Anything that has been restricting you from chasing your dream, fully embracing a psychological transformation, and taking a scary (but necessary) leap of faith is going to come under the line of fire. Uranus is essentially going to huff and puff and blow the obstacles out of your way (or at least help make it more obvious what tools you need to use to keep moving forward).

July should be an electrifying time. We can expect on a personal and collective level that…

1. Tolerance for being shoved into a box will be non-existent.
2. Risky business and leaps of faith will be at an all-time high.
3. Boredom and the desire to carve out a new path will be an itch that must be scratched.

It’s important to remember that Uranus is all about positive change, guiding us to utopia, even if we have to make big adjustments to get there. So before doing anything reckless, ask yourself whether or not the experience will be a step in the right direction—or if this is just your inner diva over-producing the reality TV show called Your Life.

For additional guidance, check your rising sign readings below. Keep in mind that Uranus will stay in Gemini for about a decade, so you have plenty of time to work with and adjust to these influences. Wishing you all the best, and go have some fun.

Aries

It’s time to sharpen your mind and senses. Uranus will make things feel a bit chaotic, especially if you don’t have a way to process all the information this world throws at you in a healthy way. On one hand, you should absolutely look forward to learning more and exploring new tools to make your life easier. On the other, be careful about overdoing it. We don’t need an unnecessary crash-out.

Taurus

This transit will have you approaching your values and material world in a new way. Perhaps there will be some questioning if what you have really serves any purpose, or if your money habits align with what matters most to you. Don’t let anything be for show. Remember you are allowed to change your stance on things if it means being authentic to your core values.

Gemini

If anyone is getting a glow-up from Uranus moving signs, it’s you. You’re about to become a whole new version of yourself! Thank goodness, because the world could always use a bit more variety. Take this transit as your permission slip to explore who you are and how you show up in the world. Look in the mirror and challenge yourself—allow your inner self to be reflected through the other self in new and exciting ways.

Cancer

This shift of Uranus is going to clear you up—mind, body, and soul! Changes in beliefs, spiritual practices, and the ways you hold onto and let go of things are on the horizon. Your spiritual awareness and mental awareness are synchronizing, giving you the change to prepare for a huge change of self by releasing what no longer serves you. Slow down and find a routine that lets you process all the downloads incoming.

Leo

Look alive, because Uranus in Gemini is going to sweep you up in a rush of energy and action. The next few years will take you to new places to meet and work with new people. Think of it like you’re curating a guest list for the ultimate gala, and together you will move the cultural needle (together, don’t forget). Collaborating with like-minded people will do you well.

Virgo

If there was ever a time for your dream job to come forward, it’s now. Uranus in Gemini is going to take you on a wild ride, exploring new ways to leave your mark on the world. That itch you want to scratch is the stars telling you that now is the time to put faith in yourself and the universe. The ideas will flow when you stop getting in your own way.

Libra

Consider these next few years your enlightenment era. There will be plenty of new and exciting adventures to go on, so say yes to things that intrigue you. Uranus is pushing you to expand your belief systems, your understanding of the world, and a pursuit for knowledge. Ask questions, put yourself out there, and if it feels like you’re on the ledge waiting to take a leap of faith—jump.

Scorpio

As a wise woman named Lizzo once said, “truth hurts, needed something more exciting,” and that is exactly what Uranus in Gemini will mean for you. Uranus is going to help you explore trust, intimacy, and transformation by shifting the way you share information. Being honest about what you need from others. Additionally, your shared resources will glow up, giving you the ability to make stable connections and gain support.

Sagittarius

The next few years are about to be a party. And like all good parties, the people will be the main focal point. Who are you inviting? Which unwanted visitors are sneaking in? Where can you curate the perfect soirée? Uranus moving into Gemini offers an opportunity to refresh the way you connect with people. Don’t be surprised if you are pushed and pulled in many directions—there’s a lesson to learn from everyone.

Capricorn

Are you ready for a routine reset? You might have to deal with some health habits in order to really make the most of these next few years. Expect massive shifts in your work, daily life, and the ways you flow through the mundane. Explore new ways to organize your time! Who knows, you might discover you have new priorities. You might start exploring new professional paths as well.

Aquarius

Uranus in Gemini is going to help your rebellious, freedom-loving spirit come alive. These next few years are going to be a fabulous time to discover new passions. The limit quite literally does not exist when it comes to making connections. Let your inner child lead the way. If something excites you, go after it. Say yes to joy, it is an act of rebellion and helps keep the hope alive. Who knows, you may even discover that a simple hobby reveals a deep truth about yourself you hadn’t accepted yet.

Pisces

Uranus in Gemini calls for a spring cleaning moment in your home. As you dig through the heavy stuff, look at your emotions and your upbringing in new ways; open doors for a new sanctuary in your life. There is a lesson in communicating your inner world over the next few years. Explore new boundaries, talk through them. Redecorate your home, and if you hate it, change it back. Explore what safety means and how to make it a new normal.

While making the rounds for her new film Apex in New York City, Charlize Theron didn’t just wear one look yesterday. She wore five. At the action movie’s premiere, the actress was sharply suited in a black Dior blazer and pants from Jonathan Anderson’s fall 2026 collection. In place of a blouse, Theron simply wore a pleated white Elizabethan collar tied by a long ribbon, giving the set a romantic and rebellious edge.

Pointed black heels added a sharp finish to Theron’s sartorial pairing. Gleaming diamond cuff earrings subtly enhanced her look’s modern and punky touches, including a tousled bob and warm red lipstick.

Earlier in the day, stylist Leslie Fremar took Theron back to all-black—a longtime staple in the star’s wardrobe—with two leather pants-based outfits. For an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the star wore a bow-tied blazer, wide-leg trousers, and knotted sandals layered over a sheer bra from Givenchy by Sarah Burton. Beforehand, she chicly nodded to biker dressing from a pair of buckled, high-waisted leather Balmain pants with quilted knee panels. Her edgy bottoms were complemented by a button-down shirt, dark red sunglasses, and slick cutout velvet pumps.

For another outfit, Theron took a light approach in an all-white Bottega Veneta. Her Louise Trotter-designed attire included a gauzy sweater and asymmetric miniskirt with a layered and frayed hem, complemented by matching flat loafers. A sharp black mac coat and dark brown Intrecciato woven shoulder bag cleanly framed the monochrome mix, while proving practical for social media appearances on the subway.

In the morning, Theron first braved New York’s cloudy weather in a blue-gray halter top and ruffle-trimmed skirt from Pieter Mullier’s last Alaïa collection. The ribbed pair was dynamically elevated by sheer gray pumps, while glistening Anita Ko diamond earrings and Jessica McCormack rings provided a polished sparkle.

Throughout her fashion-filled day, Theron delivered a masterclass in bringing variety to single-toned ensembles. An assortment of dark shades and nods to current trends—from transparency to prep, punk, and “undone” layering—also continued her experimental, yet elegant streak when getting dressed. With their range of textures, silhouettes, and a hint of rebellion, Theron’s looks also proved her fashion prowess and dedication—after all, five outfit changes in one day is no easy feat.

Overall, the star’s ensembles displayed how thoughtful details can instantly bring intrigue to even the most minimalist color palettes. Indeed, her monochrome outfits were anything but monotonous.

There’s an old saying: every day should be your birthday. But if we’re really being honest, every day should be Earth Day. Although April 22 is the official date of this annual holiday, we believe any moment is a good one to acknowledge this planet: our home, our inheritance, and, frankly, the one doing most of the heavy lifting for our benefit. The beauty industry, though not without its faults when it comes to environmental impact, has come a long way with earth-friendly products, packaging, and practices. It turns out, honoring the environment doesn’t need to come at the expense of product performance. Thoughtfully sourced items and ingredients can deliver on results, while organic farmers—an increasing trend in the beauty realm—aim to replenish their resources rather than deplete them.

U.S. beauty labels are leaning into more responsible sourcing, plus offering recyclable or refillable packaging (or, at the very least, less unapologetically wasteful packaging). Industry efforts like the nonprofit Pact Collective, alongside a growing push toward refill systems and closed-loop packaging, suggest a shift that’s no longer entirely cosmetic, bringing businesses incrementally closer to the more rigorous sustainability standards long embraced across Europe.

The challenge, of course, is discerning what actually works for both skin and soil, without falling for a well-marketed shade of green. Below, you’ll find a curated selection of products that manage the rare feat of being effective, sensorially satisfying, and genuinely kinder to the place we call home.

Saie Dew Blush

This blush is one of our favorites for its easily blendable texture and natural, skin-like finish that delivers color without feeling weighted. The brand’s Planet Beautiful initiative, in partnership with Sephora and rePurpose Global, funds large-scale plastic recovery projects across regions including India, Indonesia, Colombia, and Kenya. The program also supports on-the-ground infrastructure, including recovery hubs and restoration projects like mangroves, while mobilizing participating brands and consumer purchases to directly fund ongoing cleanup efforts.

Le Prunier Plum Beauty Oil Reserve

Luxurious with every drop, this 100 percent organically sourced face oil delivers instant radiance to your complexion. Sourced from a single harvest of hand-selected plums, the brand also upcycles plum kernels from its USDA-certified organic family farm into every drop. The packaging is 100 percent recyclable, crafted from post-consumer recycled materials, with FSC-certified cartons and eco-inks that make even the unboxing feel intentional.

Tata Harper Water Lock Moisturizer

Made for skincare aficionados who pore over ingredient lists, this face cream is powered by organic actives like orange peptides and pomegranate spheres sourced directly from the label’s organic farm-grown formulations. The face cream’s water-lock technology delivers all-day hydration—it’s also a great makeup primer—while keeping the formula clean and mindful of what your skin absorbs. The refillable glass jar with recyclable pods makes sustainability an integral part of the design rather than an afterthought.

Biossance Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum

This serum is built on bioengineered, sugarcane-derived squalane, which mirrors skin’s natural moisture so closely it has replaced outdated shark-liver sourcing in modern skincare. Sustainably grown, rain-fed sugarcane; low-impact manufacturing; and packaging made from repurposed pulp using waste-conscious processes make it as clean behind the scenes as it is effective on skin.

Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Broad Spectrum SPF 30

This clean SPF 30 foundation lives up to the “impeccable” name. The mineral SPF is a reef-safe formulation, with impressive coverage that behaves like skincare with standards. With EWG “Champion” status, PETA and Leaping Bunny cruelty-free certification, and thoughtfully reduced packaging using recyclable LDPE and minimal waste, this one pays respect to Mother Nature and your body’s well-being.

May Lindstrom Skin The Problem Solver Mask

High-grade, high-performance clean beauty with glass packaged products. This line is one of the top choices for discerning beauty aficionados. This revitalizing mask is crafted from a pristine, high-grade blend of antioxidant-rich raw cacao, activated bamboo charcoal, mineral salts, clays, and healing botanicals. The product purifies, brightens, soothes, and restores skin with precision.

The Way Be the Calm Body Oil

This natural, aromatherapy-led body oil built on nutrient-dense botanicals like sacha inchi, chia seed, and sea buckthorn CO₂, designed to support both skin barrier health and the nervous system through scent and skin absorption. Housed in recyclable glass and recyclable cardboard, the whole line is sustainably minded and grounded in organic sourcing, leaving skin nourished and luminous while reflecting a broader ethos of clean formulation and emotional balance.

Evolvetogether Provence Deodorant

This deodorant works through your regular days and your most challenging ones, powered by plant-derived ingredients and biofermentation tech. Tapioca starch, glycerin, and pro-vitamin B5 keep odor in check without the drama. The brand’s packaging is tree-free, made from sugarcane and bamboo waste, all printing done with soy-based ink. In tandem with their patrons, Evolvetogether has planted 200,000 trees.

Sibu Organic Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil

This sea berry oil proves that a tiny, revered Himalayan berry can outperform half your skincare shelf, utilizing CO₂ extraction to preserve omegas 3, 6, 7, and 9 plus vitamin E in a high-quality, glow-inducing formula. Wild-harvested, sustainably handled, and bottled in recyclable glass, this is an affordable beauty flex for Earth Day.

Wa:it Botanicamente Aira Body Lotion

At the end of every day, use this outstanding body lotion as a form of indulgence. Infused with silky rice bran oil, Japanese camellia seed oil, soothing perilla leaf, and bright yuzu, this organic formula absorbs quickly and immediately comforts the skin. Everything about this cruelty-free and vegan brand signals considered quality, from the antioxidant-rich botanicals to its low-impact aluminum bottle, plastic-free cotton by-product label, and reusable wooden tag.

Botnia Skincare Gentle Cleanser

This clean, plant-led formula calms with chamomile, purifies with goldenseal, and keeps hydration in check with hyaluronic acid while removing impurities your skin has been in contact with throughout the day. Formulated by Founder Justine Kahn—an herbalist and esthetician in Sausalito, Calif. who uses locally and organically grown botanicals (including from her own micro-farm). The packaging is compostable and reusable, and comes in a recyclable aluminum bottle with a BPA-free liner.

Osea Malibu Ocean Eyes Age-Defying Serum

This lightweight gel-serum glides on with a rollerball, lending a cooling effect to the delicate eye area and providing hydration, plus minimizing the look of dark circles and puffiness. Like all Osea products, the brand’s packaging reflects a strong commitment to sustainability, using post-consumer recycled materials to reduce virgin plastic and lower environmental impact.

RMS Beauty Revitalize Hydra Concealer

This concealer is a rare find—not just for its superior, blendable formula, but due to its exceptional hydration, a quality most concealers tend to sacrifice. It beautifully softens the appearance of redness, dark circles, and blemishes without ever feeling dry or heavy, striking that balance seamlessly (it even has a natural, retinol-like skin-firming component called Tightenyl). With the health of the planet in mind, it’s thoughtfully packaged in a glass jar with a 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic cap, and an outer carton made from 80 percent recycled paper printed with vegetal ink.

Rahua Hydration Shampoo

This vegan, cruelty-free shampoo is a fab choice for those with medium-to-thicker hair for supporting strength, hydration, and overall scalp balance. Beyond performance, all packaging is recyclable, and the brand has a commitment to protecting the environment in the Amazon rainforest and Galapagos Islands.

KraveBeauty Oil La La Lightweight Facial Oil for Sensitive Skin

An excellent face oil for acne-prone skin, KraveBeauty refines its clean, barrier-friendly formula with breakout-calming actives and nourishing oils, including upcycled rosehip, designed to treat without stripping the skin. In terms of packaging and sustainability, the brand has a “Waste Not the Farm” motto, using upcycled ingredients and a shrink-to-fit inner “egg” insert that reduces oxidation while cutting packaging waste at the source.

Over the last five years or so, an increasing number of luxury brands began hosting installations at Salone del Mobile, Milan’s annual design fair; some visitors declared it the new fashion week. But now, the consensus seems to be that the event—which draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world each year—is becoming more like Miami’s Art Basel. In fact, “I think it’s already that,” one regular told me.

With countless people, places, and things to see—from emerging designers to established ones—plus dozens of cocktail parties and opening events to attend, it can all be a bit overwhelming. Below are some highlights from the week, most of which are now open to the public through April 26.

An Evolution of the Classics at Armani / Casa

This year, Armani / Casa returned to its roots with “Origins,” an exhibition that showcases Mr. Armani’s most iconic design pieces, and the style of his homes. There was no one who loved Milan more—and whom Milan loved back—than the late designer. A modern tribute to his most recognizable, timeless objects felt fitting, especially given that the Pinacoteca di Brera museum in Milan is also hosting an exhibition dedicated to his influence. At the Milanese flagship on Corso Venezia 14, visitors will find both the original pieces and their modern evolutions. There’s the classic Baloon armchair, with its smooth, almost toothpaste-like curves; the Dustin director’s chair, made for one of the designer’s yachts; and the Logo table lamp, which was the very first product Mr. Armani designed for Armani/Casa, back in 1982.

The Opening of Casa Laveni, a Bohopo Hotel

This 30-room boutique hotel in the Brera district is worth visiting, even if you’re not staying there. Originally built in the early 1800s, it later became the private residence of engineer Giuseppe Laveni, whose most famous works (including the Excelsior Hotel Gallia and the Odeon Cinema) helped shape Milan’s architectural landscape in the early 20th century. Today, it is an intimate retreat, reinterpreted for modern visitors by Delogu Architecture in collaboration with Studio Sacchi Architetti. Set within a restored neoclassical palazzo, there are multiple events happening in the lobby throughout Design Week, including an installation of glass and stainless steel works by Ananas Ananas and the opening of a movie room by Crosby Studios in the hotel’s subterranean level. Both are open to the public.

Bottega Veneta’s Light Installation

For his third collaboration with the brand under the creative direction of Louise Trotter, Korean artist Kwangho Lee created a one-of-a-kind light installation for its Via Sant’Andrea store. Titled Lightful, Lee was partly inspired by his visit to the Bottega Veneta atelier in Montebello Vicentino, where he saw the brand’s signature intrecciato, or leather-weaving technique, take shape. Because his own art and design pieces often draw from traditional weaving and basketry techniques, the ongoing collaboration is a natural fit. His latest work combines a suspended, organic woven form with new light sculptures woven from Bottega Veneta leather fettucce, or strips, in signature shades of black and green. In addition to the flagship installation, Bottega Veneta will also distribute posters at Micamera Bookstore and offer custom flower wrapping at Anna flower shop throughout the week.

Buccellati’s Luxurious Caviar Collection

Nothing says luxury quite like caviar. This year, Buccellati, the renowned Italian high-jewelry and silversmithing house, hosted an exhibition inspired by its latest Caviar silverware collection. Titled Aquae Mirabiles, the immersive installation was created in collaboration with artist Luke Edward Hall, curated by Federica Sala, and produced by Balich Wonder Studio. It tells the mythical history of Italian caviar—complete with references to Roman figures like Neptune, god of the sea—and culminating with an underwater banquet scene. The collection includes ice buckets, caviar sets, Murano glassware, and flutes, and highlights the brand’s signature silver microspheres, inspired by the texture of caviar.

Gucci’s Cheeky Tapestries

As he so often does during fashion week, designer Demna brought some much-needed humor to Milan Design Week as well. For his first Salone as the creative director of Gucci, he presented Gucci Memoria, a series of 12 custom tapestries hung in the cloister of San Simpliciano, tracing the brand’s 105-year history—with a clever twist. Beginning at London’s Savoy hotel, where Guccio Gucci famously got his start as a bellhop carrying the leather trunks of the wealthy, the series offers a modern depiction of the brand’s most memorable moments, including the introduction of iconic designs such as the Bamboo 1947 and Jackie 1961 handbags and the distinct eras of creative directors Tom Ford, Frida Giannini, Alessandro Michele, and, yes, even Sabato De Sarno. Think of it as Gucci’s very own Eras tour. (The Gucci family tensions of the 1970s and 80s couldn’t be erased; there is one tableau titled “The weight of success,” with the three heirs gathered under cloudy skies.) Classic art historical figures like The Birth of Venus are given a makeover in Tom Ford-era Gucci, and shirtless men with washboard abs look less like Michelangelo’s David and more like a modern-day Clavicular. The final tapestry, “Work in progress,” shows Demna on one knee, paying his respects to the brand while also marking the beginning of his own era.

Jil Sander’s “Reference Library” with Apartamento

If you’re looking for a quiet moment, head to the Jil Sander showroom to see its “Reference Library” in collaboration with Apartamento. There, you’ll find sixty different, equally inspiring books from around the world, chosen by various writers, designers, artists, architects, filmmakers, thinkers, and makers, like director Durga Chew-Bose, artist Laila Gohar, stylist Miyako Bellizzi, and, of course, Jil Sander’s new creative director, Simone Bellotti. A pair of white gloves will be given to you upon arrival, and you’ll be able to flip through each one at your leisure.

Kelly Wearstler’s Collaboration With H&M

H&M has entered the chat. This week, the Swiss fashion retailer revealed its first designer furniture collaboration with American interior designer Kelly Wearstler. Presented at the historic Palazzo Acerbi—a 17th-century Baroque palace in the center of Milan that has long been closed to the public—the collection, launching in September, includes trompe l’oeil flower vases, furniture like modular seating that can be arranged Tetris-style, collaged marble trays, and more. Wearstler’s eye brings a seriousness to the collection, with materials like wood, metal, ceramics, and marble incorporated throughout. But there’s also a playfulness that makes it accessible to a broad and curious audience—a balance that is hard to find, and I’d argue necessary during a week such as this.

Louis Vuitton’s Art Deco Homage

The brand’s latest “Objets Nomades” collection pays tribute to the Art Deco movement, specifically the interior designer, bookbinder, and illustrator Pierre Legrain. A collection of furniture and textile creations inspired by his legendary bookbindings are presented alongside the brand’s archives, including its earliest trunks, Art Deco bottles, and travel accessories, in the setting of a 1920s train.

Loro Piana’s Intricate Plaids

A fun fact: plaids—or large swaths of fabric that can be used as blankets or hung as tapestries—were among Loro Piana’s first finished products, alongside scarves. Made of the brand’s finest materials (like Vicuña, baby cashmere, cashmere, and the signature Gift of Kings) these plaids have historically served as canvases for creative experimentation. So the brand presented 24 new ones using different techniques, constructions, patterns, and finishes. Some took hundreds of hours to complete, featuring intricate embroidery, appliqué, handloom weaving, needle punching, patchwork, and screen printing. It’s perhaps the closest thing you’ll see to haute couture all week.

Marni’s Cappuccino Cups for Cucchi

Coffee is key to surviving Salone, and thanks to Marni, you can recharge in style. Through July 15, the brand will take over the classic Pasticceria Cucchi, serving coffee out of colorful, limited-edition espresso and cappuccino cups and saucers, which you can purchase at Cucchi and at the Marni boutique on Via Montenapoleone. (You can also slip a branded sugar packet in your pocket as a souvenir.) Every Thursday, live musical performances will take place at the pasticceria, in case you also want to relax with a Spritz.

Miu Miu’s Literary Club

Every year, Miu Miu offers a much-needed moment to sit and think with its “Literary Club,” an intimate gathering that explores a specific theme through a series of conversations, readings, and lectures. Taking place over three days at the Circolo Filologico Milanese, this year’s program focuses on sexuality, desire, and consent, centered around the works of Annie Ernaux (A Girl’s Story) and Ama Ata Aidoo (Changes: A Love Story). Even if you can’t attend in person, the event always inspires me to pick up a new book.

Prada’s Ceramics Exhibition and Talks

Whether it’s fashion week or design week, Prada is always a highlight. This year, the brand once again hosted Prada Frames, its annual symposium curated by Formafantasma on the relationship between the natural environment and design. (The latest focus is image-making and “preference for representation over facts.”) At the Prada space on Via Montenapoleone, however, is an entirely separate exhibition by the American artist Theaster Gates. Titled “Chawan Cabinet,” it features a collection of Gates’s own pieces alongside ceramic vessels and ceremonial forms crafted by a group of Japanese potters. The idea is to celebrate the human touch and ceremonial gathering—two things missing in today’s world, which design can help facilitate.

Tod’s Icons by Icons Project

Tod’s turned its famous Gommino loafer into a design object in its own right, reinterpreting it through the lens of 20th-century Italian masters—from Joe Colombo to Gaetano Pesce. Presented at its Via Savona space, the installation paired the new limited-edition styles alongside their original inspirations, while artisans demonstrated the handcraft behind the shoe—underscoring the house’s ongoing dialogue between fashion, design, and Italian craftsmanship.

Dior Maison’s Nomadic Corolle Lamps

In a dreamlike scene at Palazzo Landriani, Dior unveiled a new collection of Corolle lamps designed by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance. Each serves as an illuminated sculptural homage to the house’s 1947 New Look, with several casting shadows of the maison’s instantly recognizable cannage design. The installation's setting was inspired by the gardens of Villa Les Rhumbs in Granville, Christian Dior’s childhood home.

There’s also…

But wait, there’s more! Fendi introduced its Design Prize, a new initiative dedicated to discovering and nurturing emerging talents and celebrating design and craftsmanship. This year’s winner is VIA by Gustav Craft, whose work will be exhibited at Design Miami. Chloé is keeping the tomato trend alive with a re-edition of Christian Adam’s Tomato chair, originally designed in 1970. For more fruits and vegetables, check out the carousel Laila Gohar worked on in collaboration with Arket in Milan’s Giardino delle Arti, which features a giant eggplant, fig, pear, and more. For something more tactile, Yves Salomon collaborated with Michael Bargo on a collection of furry tapestries, including a fur tablecloth. (Careful not to spill!)

It would perhaps go well with Sophie Lou Jacobsen’s disco-inspired collection of glassware, which is embellished with Swarovski crystals. For something more subtle, consider “Officina Ultra,” a streamlined collection of porcelain vessels by Ginori 1735. But if you really want to see the best of Milan, you must go inside people’s apartments. Casa Milana, the warm and inviting home and creative studio of husband-and-wife duo Mario Milana and Gabriella Campagna, also housed installations by Beni Rugs and Laguna~B glassware. And L’Artisan Parfumeur presents “L’Appartement,” an exhibition by Antoine Billore, an antique dealer and vintage furniture collector who filled a Milanese apartment with many treasures.

The year is just getting started, but there are already several compelling documentaries in the pipeline for the months ahead. Landing on Netflix next month is a long-awaited, three-part docuseries examining the controversies, politics, and lasting cultural legacy of America’s Next Top Model (trailer below), with commentary from creator and host Tyra Banks herself.

Many of the year’s other most anticipated films are premiering at the Sundance Film Festival before heading to theaters and streaming platforms, including the highly anticipated Antiheroine, about the life and art of Courtney Love; John Wilson’s feature directorial debut (about concrete, no less); and a rare portal back in time to the Harlem Renaissance.

Later in the year, Leonardo DiCaprio produces a film on the controversial making of The Wizard of Oz, Questlove examines the legacy of Earth, Wind & Fire, and Everything Everywhere All At Once director Daniel Kwan backs a thorough debate on the future of AI.

KYLIE

From the creators of the Beckham doc comes a new three-part documentary about Australian icon Kylie Minogue. The series will chart her rise from acting on Aussie soap Neighbours in the 1980s to becoming a chart-topping pop star with a global fanbase and decades of hits. Minogue herself participated in the series, which will draw on footage from her personal archive (including home movies), photographs, and interviews with collaborators, friends, family, and Minogue herself to learn what makes her tick.

Release date: Likely 2026 (TBD)

Ask E. Jean

E. Jean Carroll became one of the few people to beat Trump in court when she successfully sued him for sexual abuse and defamation toward the end of his first term. Before that, though, she spent decades at the top of the male-dominated publishing world, making a name for herself as an investigative journalist who wasn’t afraid to live as a single, independent woman during a time when that was less than common. Her advice column for Elle went on to reach millions of readers facing dilemmas that her unique perspective made her uniquely qualified to address. Ask E. Jean chronicles Carroll’s experiences from reporter to household name, with extensive interviews with Carroll herself.

Release date: May 22 in New York and May 29 in Los Angeles with a national rollout to follow

Marty, Life Is Short

Billed by director Lawrence Kasdan as the “definitive documentary” on Martin Short, Marty, Life Is Short chronicles the rise and career of the 75-year-old comedian, from his early days as a performer on “SCTV” in the 1970s to his starring roles in hit movies like Father of the Bride, and Three Amigos, plus his Emmy-nominated run on Only Murders in the Building.

Release date: May 12 on Netflix

Steal This Story, Please!

Journalism is going through a period of reinvention, to say the least, and no one understands innovation in the field better than Amy Goodman. The veteran investigative reporter and creator of the daily news show Democracy Now! shares the stories behind the stories, taking audiences behind the scenes of her harrowing lifelong journey to uncover the truth. Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Dean and Tia Lessin, Steal This Story, Please! is also an urgent call to action to protect freedom of the press and the integrity of the fourth estate.

Release date: April 10 in NYC, April 17 in LA, national rollout to follow

Trust Me: The False Prophet

Interest in the mainstream Mormon church has reached a pop culture pitch, but this four-part documentary digs into a more radical offshoot: the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). The series chronicles the rise of Samuel Bateman, who has proclaimed himself the next leader of the church, and is told from the perspective of a couple—cult expert Christine Marie and her videographer husband Tolga Katas—who infiltrate Bateman’s world to try and save the vulnerable people he is preying upon.

Release date: April 8 on Netflix

Marc by Sofia

Sofia Coppola’s first documentary trains her lens on her best friend and collaborator, Marc Jacobs. Told through archival footage, photos, and intimate interviews—and with plenty of Coppola’s signature stylized flourishes—Marc by Sofia is both a look back at a hopeful, inventive, rebellious time in fashion and downtown NYC culture and a love letter to one of fashion’s most enduring creative minds.

Release date: In theaters March 27

The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers

From their close childhood bonds to their rise on the Los Angeles music scene in the 1980s and beyond, the Red Hot Chili Peppers—including lead singer Anthony Kiedis and guitarist Flea—look back on the journey that took them from unknowns to global superstars.

Release date: Premieres March 20 on Netflix

Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere

British documentarian Louis Theroux, known for expertly letting his subjects hang themselves with their own rope, trained his lens on the growing network of podcasters, streamers, and influencers who make up the manosphere. Talking to controversial internet figures with massive global audiences—people like Sneako, Myron Gaines, and Harrison Sullivan (aka HSTikkyTokky, pictured here), Theroux examines their misogynistic worldviews, business models, and appeal to their fans. Better for audiences unfamiliar with the manosphere, the documentary examines some of the current structures and cultural, economic, and political trends that have led to the rise in popularity of such content, but spends most of its time pointing out its more obvious weaknesses.

Release date: Premieres March 11 on Netflix

Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model

When America’s Next Top Model first premiered in 2003, host and creator Tyra Banks had the explicit goal of pushing back against the suffocating norms of the fashion industry to spotlight a new generation of models. What followed was a 24-season pop culture juggernaut that did indeed expose the underbelly of the modeling industry, but not necessarily in the way Banks originally intended. A new three-part documentary goes behind-the-scenes of the series, with interviews from the competition show’s core judges: Jay Manuel, J. Alexander, Nigel Barker, and Banks herself, plus many of the contestants who went through ANTM’s most controversial ordeals. As Banks admits in the doc’s first trailer, she’s well-aware that she “went too far.”

Release date: Premieres February 16 on Netflix

Neighbors

Neighborly disputes can be the stuff of nightmares, and in this series, executive-produced by Josh Safdie with A24, the terrors come to life. Each episode is a self-contained story about two different ongoing wars between neighbors (over things like property lines, animal ownership, and beach access), highlighting the wacky, weird, and at times, moving dynamics between modern American neighbors.

Release date: February 13 on HBO

Billy Preston: That’s The Way God Planned It

Billy Preston: That’s The Way God Planned It debuted at SXSW two years ago, but the music doc is finally getting a theatrical release. The biopic-doc tells the story of Preston, a Grammy-winning keyboardist who played with everyone from The Beatles to Ray Charles, Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, and The Rolling Stones (he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, 15 years after his death). While Preston’s artistic impact is legendary, his life is less well-known—until now.

Release date: Premieres in theaters February 20 at New York’s Film Forum Theater

Beam Me Up, Sulu

This feature from Tribeca Films explores George Takei’s legacy through the lens of his time on Star Trek—and with the help of lost footage from a 1985 student film that he participated in making. “We were interested in figuring out what it is about Star Trek that makes people care so much—what made these student filmmakers spend 35 years making a fan film, what made George participate in it, what makes all of the fans so passionate,” directors Timour Gregory and Sasha Schneider said in a statement. “We found that it really comes back to this idea of ‘infinite diversity in infinite combinations’ that’s been baked into the show from the beginning and resonates now more than ever.”

Release date: February 17

Natchez

Director Suzannah Herbert’s new documentary tells the story of Natchez, Mississippi—a small town and antebellum tourist destination grappling with how its unsettling history continues to define its present. Natchez won the Best Documentary Feature prize at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival and will soon get a wider theater release.

Release date: Premiered at Tribeca; in New York City theaters January 30, followed by national rollout

The Brittney Griner Story

Brittney Griner tells her story in this new documentary, opening up about her harrowing experience in a Russian prison after being detained on drug charges for 10 months. The film explores Griner’s childhood, the reasons the WNBA star was playing abroad in the first place, and how her detainment—which became an international political scandal—affected her and her family.

Release date: Premieres at Sundance

Antiheroine

Courtney Love will tell her own story in this documentary from directors Edward Lovelace and James Hall. The film will include Love’s look back at her relationship with Kurt Cobain, yes, but it’ll also explore the creativity that’s driven her own highly influential art. Love is also reportedly working on a memoir and releasing new music for the first time in over a decade. It’s about time for a retrospective on the Gen X icon.

Release date: Premieres at Sundance

Barbara Forever

Over the course of fifty years, Barbara Hammer became a leading pioneer of the lesbian film movement, creating works that celebrated and affirmed her identity and life experiences while knocking down barriers along the way. In this intimate portrayal of Hammer’s life, legacy, and creative process, filmmaker Brydie O’Connor draws on archival footage and Hammer’s voice to pay tribute to a legend.

Release date: Premieres at Sundance

The History of Concrete

Only John Wilson could make a documentary about concrete seem appealing. With The History of Concrete, the humorist makes his feature directorial debut, and his filmmaking trick here is to apply the Hallmark movie formula to a film about cement. If it’s anything like his How to With John Wilson docuseries, it’ll be equal parts funny, moving, thought-provoking, and absurd.

Release date: Premieres at Sundance

Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story

Another documentary from one of the most disarming comedians of our time: In Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story, Bamford takes viewers on a journey through her childhood and successful comedy career while exploring the mental health issues that have followed her at every turn.

Release date: Premieres at Sundance

Once Upon a Time in Harlem

William Greaves, known for avant-garde films like Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One and his experimental approach to cinema, shot a very important scene in 1972: a party he arranged at Duke Ellington’s home, where he brought together the last living figures of the Harlem Renaissance. While Greaves passed away in 2014, his son, David, was there that day as a cameraman, and he assembled the footage into a rare, intimate look at that pivotal moment in time.

Release date: Premieres at Sundance

The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist

Who better to tackle the complexity of artificial intelligence’s swift proliferation than the Everything Everywhere All at Once filmmakers? Daniel Kwan is one of the producers behind The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, created by Daniel Roher (director of the Oscar-winning 2023 doc Navalny) and filmmaker Charlie Tyrell. For this film, the duo takes on the complicated, emotionally charged topic by enlisting both AI skeptics and evangelists to debate the technology’s merits in full.

Release date: Premieres at Sundance; in theaters March 27

Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!

This two-part documentary from Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio examines the life and legacy of comedic genius Mel Brooks. Archival footage and candid interviews with Brooks himself paint a picture of his Brooklyn boyhood, WWII combat years, postwar trauma, and his early innovations in sketch comedy and television. Friends, collaborators, and admirers like Ben Stiller, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Conan O’Brien, Amy Schumer, David Lynch, Rob Reiner, and many, many more weigh in on what made Brooks’s approach to comedy—which resulted in beloved works like Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and The Producers—so special.

Release date: Premieres January 22 on HBO

Oz

With audiences flocking to theaters to see both Wicked movies, The Wizard of Oz remains more culturally relevant than ever. Still, not everyone knows the story behind the incredibly challenging production of the 1939 film. Events from that set have become the stuff of Hollywood lore, and the new documentary Oz, from Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way, will explore exactly what happened and why the film still has so much resonance today.

Release date: TBD 2026

Questlove’s Earth Wind and Fire

Questlove will soon add another entry into his burgeoning canon of stories about iconic Black musicians—from Summer of Soul to Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius), The Roots artist has been steadily creating his own historical archive. Now, he’s back with one more: this time, a deep dive into the creation of legendary funk group Earth, Wind & Fire. The film was made with the full support of the band, including exclusive access to decades of archival footage and material. It’ll premiere on HBO sometime in 2026.

Release date: TBD 2026

Madonna isn’t just a pop star. She’s the author of her own image. One of pop culture’s most potent visual storytellers, to say Madonna knows how to leave a lasting impression would be an understatement. That’s why the look she curated to promote the original Confessions on a Dance Floor album in 2005 remains so memorable.

Whether promoting a film, rolling out an album, or launching a makeup line, these days, entertainers run through racks of clothes, hoping to garner attention with method dressing, archival pulls, or pointed references. In contrast, Madonna’s Confessions looks were more like a pop star’s answer to a capsule wardrobe. Anchored by a strawberry blonde feathered blowout and a cropped Frida Giannini-era Gucci leather jacket worn in a few different shades, Madonna often wore the same outfits across the album’s artwork, music videos, performances, and promotional appearances.

She’d occasionally swap them out for variations on a theme. Like the album’s music, they all harkened back to the sweat-filled dance floors of the Disco and 1980s underground club eras. She mostly stuck to a strict color palette of vibrant pinks, deep purples, and shimmering blues. Referencing her own days as a dance student, she sourced vintage dancewear—including tights, tops, leotards, legwarmers, and sequined belts—and mixed it with her designer duds. It was amped up, certainly, but it was still a study in personal style.

That’s why, to promote the hotly anticipated sequel album Confessions II, Madonna’s favorite reference is simply herself. She’s already been spotted in some of the same clothes and boots. That iconic Gucci bomber has even made a few appearances, including at Coachella where she joined Sabrina Carpenter. As the world prepares to confess its sins on the dance floor once again, take a look back at Madonna’s original Confessions clothing.

In the fall of 2005, Madonna stopped by MTV's Total Request Live to premiere the video for lead single “Hung Up” in a red version of the Gucci bomber jacket that would appear again and again throughout the era.

Later, Madonna kicked off Confessions promo in earnest by going on a spree of surprise performances, including stops at The Roxy and era-defining hipster party The Misshapes. She wore a shimmering blue wrap dress for the occasion.

A variation of perhaps the most iconic Confessions look (this one worn for the MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon) was centered around the Resort 2006 leather bomber jacket and almost-as-iconic Lara Bohinc sunglasses.

Later in the evening, Madonna switched the purple out for a vintage red-and-gold party dress.

A few days later, she performed on the German program "Wetten, dass..?" in a silver version of the jacket.

Shot by Steven Klein, the Confessions album cover featured Madonna in a D&G chiffon top layered over a dancer's leotard.

In the middle of the album rollout, Madonna took her daughter Lourdes to the world premiere of Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire in London. Her jacket was premiere-appropriate, but the purple Saint Laurent boots and Roberto Cavalli culottes would be interpolated back into her performance wardrobe.

A few weeks after storming NYC’s club scene, she made a surprise appearance at London’s famed spot G-A-Y. She wore a custom pink sequined version of the Gucci bomber, more Lara Bohinc glasses, and Saint Laurent boots.

She performed again in London later that week, mixing the purple jacket with the same pants and boots she wore to the Harry Potter premiere.

In the midst of Confessions duty, she also released the documentary I'm Going to Tell You a Secret. She attended the London premiere in a black wrap dress with sequined trim.

Over in Tokyo, she put a mauve spin on her Confessions signatures.

Later, she performed in a deep blue version of the look.

She performed at the 2006 Grammys alongside The Gorillaz in a lilac corset and stoned Dolce and Gabbana leotard.

On the Grammys red carpet, she wore a bejeweled little black dress from Alexander McQueen.

A Madonna era isn’t quite complete without an appearance from Versace. She wore a pink version of a dress from the brand’s spring 2006 collection to that year’s Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Later, she performed in Coachella’s dance tent in a dark blue bomber that echoed previous performance uniforms from that era.

Like many performances during Confessions, Madonna wound up in a leotard and a feather boa. Please note that in the background, dancer Daniel “Cloud” Camps (her lead dancer throughout the era) also got a chance to wear a version of the Gucci jacket.

Madonna’s arena tours are almost eras unto themselves. For the Confessions Tour, she enlisted longtime collaborator Jean Paul Gaultier to design the costumes (though many of the looks riffed on her already established album wardrobe). For instance: the purple Saint Laurent boots once again made an appearance.

This equestrian outfit from the tour referenced a horseback riding injury Madonna suffered months before the album’s rollout. She also explored the equestrian theme in a 2006 W cover story shot by Steven Klein.

This purple-striped catsuit directly echoed the album’s wardrobe and referenced stage outfits worn by Abba in the 1970s.

The concept of a sequined bomber also reappeared, though this one was designed by Gaultier—and featured a feathered collar.

During the Devil Wears Prada 2’s whirlwind press tour, Anne Hathaway’s continued to cement her status as a fashion chameleon. However, one label’s been surprisingly amiss from her rotation—that is, until now. As a longtime Versace muse, it would only make sense for Hathaway to incorporate the Italian brand into her rotation—and at the film’s final premiere in London, she finally did. Perhaps she was waiting until she got to wear Versace standing next to an actual Versace.

On the red carpet, Hathaway wore sweeping Versace gown that riffed on classic suiting with its details. Her strapless style featured a deep purple velvet skirt, accentuated by a slit and a sheer corseted bodice. A black silk collar, crystal buttons, and a dark crystal-coated neckline winked at formal menswear with a sultry twist. To enhance its detailing, stylist Erin Walsh only accessorized the star with diamond-covered hoop earrings and simple black leather sandals.

In an especially sweet moment, Hathaway reunited with none other than Donatella Versace at the event. Versace (who makes a cameo in the film alongside leading fashion figures like Marc Jacobs, Brunello Cucinelli, Law Roach, and more) has often dressed Hathaway through the years. The star’s ties to the label reached a peak in the mid-2020’s. Between 2023 and 2024, Hathaway appeared at the brand’s runway shows, starred in its Versace Icons campaigns, and wore a pin-cinched gown to the 2024 Met Gala honoring Karl Lagerfeld. There was also that viral clip of her dancing at a Versace afterparty.

That Versace era marked a sleek shift in Hathaway’s style, which has since become more experimental and dynamic. With her recent bold turns promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mother Mary, it seemed only fitting that Versace would play a part in the star’s ensembles—and indeed, it made for a fittingly fashionable finale.

In recent weeks, Hathaway’s Devil Wears Prada 2 looks have spanned everything from colorful sequins to elegant ruffles, high-shine metallics, and thematic ruby reds. Ahead of the film’s May 1 release, she’s continued to flex her fashion finesse with eye-catching attire that’s both referential and excitement-inducing. That streak’s only set to continue this year with her upcoming roles in star-studded films The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street, and Verity—and you can bet the fashion world will be watching every step of the way.

It’s been awhile since we were privy to a look inside Kylie Jenner’s closet—that is, until now. On Instagram, the Kylie Beauty founder showed a new glimpse at her expansive Hermès handbag collection, which has made headlines since its first appearances on social media in the mid-2010’s.

This week, Jenner shared a new series of photos while posing at home in a black bra, low-rise pants, and stiletto-heeled Christian Louboutin boots. Her Instagram dump’s mirror selfies spotlit her extensive wall of Hermès bags, filled with Birkins and Kellys in a vast range of shapes, sizes, and colors. Naturally, Jenner kept her assortment color-coded in various sections, from black to pinks, whites, and an array of vibrant tones.

Jenner’s well-documented assortment included a selection of especially rare bags. One core standout was a set of degradè Hermès Himalaya alligator bags, including a Birkin, Kelly, and Kelly clutch—which can retail from $150,000 to $450,000 each. The brand’s woven straw Picnic Mini Kelly, a recent star shape that’s regularly sold out, also popped within the range from its orange leather trim. A subtle standout was additionally found in the Hermès Neige Faubourg Birkin, a small white alligator style with window accents inspired by the brand’s Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré boutique, which typically resales for over $700,000.

Though Jenner’s Hermès collection is certainly expansive, she isn’t the only star in her family with a love for the French brand’s handbags. Matriarch Kris Jenner’s also famed for her vast Birkin collection, which similarly includes a Himalaya Birkin. Jenner’s sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian have also carried a range of colorful and neutral Hermès styles over the years. Another side to the brand can be seen in subtle versions carried by Kendall Jenner, whose lineup includes a brown suede Birkin and vintage red leather Kelly.

Jenner’s Hermès bag collection has frequently been one to watch since its initial debut in her former mirrored walk-in closet. However, with a new spotlight on social media, this reformatted range shows a darker, streamlined approach to the star’s wardrobe. Alongside recent formal appearances at this year’s Oscars and Golden Globes, plus casual moments at Coachella, it’s clear we’re in a new King Kylie era—and her reign is only growing.

Mother’s Day is all about honoring the woman who raised you—whether she’s your guiding North Star or the reason your therapist upgraded to a new Mercedes-Benz. Mom has shaped you in ways large and small, and this is the perfect moment to return a fraction of her devotion.

It’s the ideal scent for the mom who masterfully balances loving and caring for family with a 5 o’clock martini—and leaves a trail of adoring fans wherever she goes.

Prada Saffiano Leather Mahjong Game

Mahjong, the Chinese game created during the Qing dynasty in the 19th century, has gotten new attention and gained a wider, more Western audience in recent years. Naturally, the tiles have found their way to Prada. This set is made for the mom who treats game night like a runway—her nails tapping on the tiles, painted in Chanel’s Rouge Noir #397, natch—with friends behind her, nursing champagne cocktails while looking on. She’ll also love that her daughter knows she takes the game seriously.

Cartier Trinity Two Finger Lacquer Pavé Ring

Gift this to the mother, the wife, and the saint in your life—she, who has always stood apart, drawn toward what is exceptional; never excessive, and unmistakably her own.

We are certain she would wear this piece and instantly think of you.

Aerin Brass Matchbox Sleeve

An object that is both charming and faintly mischievous to gift for Mother’s Day, this matchbox lends an elegance when she strikes a flame—whether for her favored candles, a well-set candelabra, or those occasional indulgences she pretends not to keep. You can also have it engraved with her initials, so it becomes less an accessory and more a small heirloom made just for her.

Vhernier Tourbillon 18K Gold Ring With Titanium

Your best friend who’s a new mom will love the sleek, architectural lines and edgy, minimalist everything on this ring. The sleek contrast of rose gold and titanium makes it a striking piece for everyday wear. It’s like a miniature work of art at her fingertips.

If mom is happiest fussing over her garden, pruning her roses and peonies, this set is the ideal choice. It pairs timeless, hand-forged stainless steel with warm, brass-accented handles. The set offers five essential tools for digging, weeding, and cultivating, all beautifully packaged in an FSC-certified wood box.

Dries Van Noten Soie & Amber Liquid Soap

This is the gift that makes the simple act of handwashing a moment of indulgence. Plus, Dries Van Noten made the glass—and refillable, we might add—bottle extra beautiful, so it stands out on your mother’s powder room sink. We love the serene notes of silky, rich amber in this soap.

YSL Loveshine Lip Oil Stick & Plumping Gloss Duo Gift Set

There’s no way you can go wrong here. This is a sweet and elevated makeup gift for mom, allowing her to always have the prettiest pout in the room.

For well over half a century, trees have been Giuseppe Penone’s muse and medium—or, as he puts it, “the perfect sculptures.” Housed in a concrete-floor, former 1950s metals warehouse along Turin’s Dora Riparia River, his studio has cinderblock walls, thirty-six-foot ceilings, and a bridge crane to accommodate the timber beams and carved wooden trunks for which the artist is known. A majestic, double-height spiraling steel-and-oak staircase, designed by Penone when he renovated the space in 1994, is its own sculptural centerpiece. He’s only a fifteen-minute walk from the center of town, and an upstairs two-bedroom flat serves as a pied-à-terre. “There is no separation between life and work for this man,” says Pepi Marchetti Franchi, founding director of Gagosian Rome.

It is here that Penone has been preparing The Reflection of Bronze, an exhibition celebrating the metal he’s been casting for decades, on view from April 22 through July 2 at Gagosian’s New York flagship. The presentation, curated by Adam D. Weinberg, former director of the Whitney Museum of American Art, delivers a mini survey of the legendary sculptor with eighteen artworks, spanning from 1995 to the present. Over the past eighteen months, Weinberg (who retired in 2023 after a 20-year museum tenure) made multiple visits to Penone’s studio and foundry to understand his fabrication method. “Sculpture is very different from painting. It’s a long process,” Penone tells me. “There’s a lot of action that’s not visible until the final result. I compare it to agriculture, where you put a grain in the soil and after it grows, you don’t see it anymore. The big difference with painting is that the painting itself becomes the expression.”

A week before the opening, Gagosian pulses with the din of drills and scissor lifts. Weinberg and Penone are inspecting Marsia (Marsyas), a sculpture from 2024 consisting of a pair of life-size, inverted bronze limbs hanging in the middle of the gallery. It is inspired by mythology and a painting by Titian, Flaying of Marsyas, named after the satyr who challenges Apollo to a musical contest, loses, and is skinned alive while tied to a pine. Penone’s dangling, hollowed-out branches evoke Marsyas’s fate.

The exhibition is laid out in a three-room sequence, and the first space is already paneled in floor-to-ceiling sheets of cork; the aim is to create a sensory immersion akin to being in a forest. It takes nine years for a tree’s bark to regenerate, says Penone, adding that thinking about time and the human condition is central to his work. Long before everyone talked about it, sustainability had been at the heart of his artistic practice. He uses fallen trees sourced from his 50-acre property near Turin and through a network of local tradespeople who clear debris to keep forests clean and mitigate fire risk. Harvesting cork is eco-friendly; the bark grows back. “It’s always been a problem for man to understand time,” says Penone. “But it’s possible to go back in the life of a tree, because it’s a living being.”

Born in 1947, Penone moved from the village of Garessio, Italy to attend the Accademia Albertina of Fine Arts in Turin, where he found students repeating forms from the past rather than creating pieces “driven from necessity,” he says. “So, I tried to do work that was related to what I knew better. That was nature. It was wood. It was trees, and that had resonance in the context of a strong group of Torino artists.” In fact, he became the youngest member of that radical, late 1960s collective—the Arte Povera movement—celebrated for raw, conceptual art made from “poor” materials like twigs, burlap, newspapers, and dirt. Remarkably, by 22, Penone made the artistic discovery of his lifetime, creating his first Albero (“Tree”) sculpture. “I found inside of a beam, the form of the tree that produced it,” he recalls. “Carving the wood, I followed one year of growth of the tree, removing the growth rings to reveal the sapling inside of the wood.” Delicately chiseling and scraping timber, layer by layer—a process that he follows to this day—reveals the relentless flow of time. In museums, the pieces look like post-apocalyptic archeology, a young tree trapped inside an ancient one.

Penone is equally famous for outdoor interventions that appear hyperreal and futuristic. In 2013, he placed a trio of thirty-three-foot-tall sculptures (cast from elm, cherry, and nettle trees,) around New York’s Madison Square Park, with river boulders weighing thousands of pounds nestled in their trunks and branches. “Crowds gathered at the perimeter to watch the artist and riggers,” says Brooke Kamin Rapaport, former artistic director and Martin Friedman chief curator of the Madison Square Park Conservancy. She describes the piece as “balletic choreography,” and notes that the precariously mounted boulders symbolize the risky consequence of human interference with the natural world.

Back at Gagosian, the artist—again referencing the cycle of time—begins his exhibition with an ancient metal artifact. Near the gallery’s entrance, Penone and Weinberg have included a polished Egyptian bronze mirror c. 1539-1478 BCE (on loan from the Brooklyn Museum). A row of Penone’s encrusted bronze panels, Riflesso del Bronzo (The Reflection of Bronze) serves as an endpoint in the final room. “Bronze itself is interesting because it’s close to a vegetal,” says Penone, whose mind never strays from the arboreal roots of his practice. “If you leave it outside, the oxidation of the bronze becomes green, but if you have oxidation, it looks very close to the bark of a tree.”

Between them, Margot Robbie and Zoe Saldaña have conquered the box office. One’s a Marvel hero and an Avatar, and the other is a DC bad girl and Barbie herself. You’d think it would be some Hollywood super-producer with a bottomless checkbook that brought them together for a blockbuster—but the pair actually crossed paths last night during Design Week in Milan, of all places. Attending RH Milan’s launch event for its soaring Gallery on Corso Venezia flagship, the pair took too contrasting paths to dressing.

Saldaña stepped out in a long-sleeved marigold dress by Saint Laurent for the occasion. Swirling gold foiled lace brought a touch of ornate glamour to the piece. Little black pointed-toe pumps and black nylons added on a style exclamation point.

Meanwhile, Robbie leaned into Italy’s tailoring roots with a deep gray Armani suit. Her set included an oversized blazer and wide-legged trousers layered over a light gray turtleneck shirt and charcoal sweater vest. The neutral pieces were punctuated by a deep red leather belt and woven burgundy loafers, with an eclectic edge from a crab-shaped brooch.

While Saldaña’s attire veered the decoratively feminine route, Robbie’s nodded to the city’s rich suiting industry and menswear culture. Both looks were fitting for the occasion during Design Week, which celebrates the latest lifestyle, home, and interior design collection and advancements from numerous brands.

Robbie and Saldaña’s Milan moment also marks the latest appearance by both stars, notably following Robbie’s romance-inspired press tour for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights. Hopefully it’s only the beginning of their red carpet rounds this summer.

Gap x Victoria Beckham

If you don’t consider yourself “Rock Royalty” enough for H&M x Stella McCartney and the Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers collab is a bit too bright for you, you’re in luck. These days, there’s a high-low designer collaboration for everyone, with Gap x Victoria Beckham rounding out the trio currently on the market. Posh is all set to release a 38-piece collection with Gap, the first of a multi-season partnership between the international retailer and British designer.

“To me, Gap is an all-American icon—a brand that has always created timeless pieces for everybody’s wardrobe, with a sharp attention to detail,” Beckham said in a statement. Timeless is definitely a keyword when describing the resulting collaboration. For this first foray, Beckham focused on the building blocks of a wardrobe: denim, khaki, tees, shirting, and fleeces. The designer makes her mark on the pieces with her signature subtly stitched in red, while classic Gap logo hoodies and tees boast the addition of her name. There is a clear vintage influence thanks to the inclusion of Gap silhouettes from the ’80s and ’90s and utilitarian themes round out the offerings. The Gap x Victoria Beckham collection launches April 24 on Gap.com and in select Gap stores globally.

Giorgio Armani’s Armani/Archivio

Giorgio Armani has launched the second iteration of Armani/Archivio, a project designed to preserve and enhance the brand’s heritage and legacy. The interactive platform was created in 2025 to mark the brand’s 50th anniversary and to collect and organize Armani’s archives in a publicly accessible online library. At this point, it has over 200 collections listed, featuring over 5,500 runway looks and more than 30,200 individual items. Now, Armani is taking findings from that archive and turning a handful of the best designs into reeditions. Thirteen men’s and women’s looks from Armani collections between 1979 and 1994 have been reproduced for sale. This first capsule focuses on the jacket and the many iterations on the outerwear designed by Armani in those fifteen years, with pieces specifically selected for their enduring relevance. The Armani/Archivio collection will be available on armani.com in early May as well as in select Giorgio Armani boutiques.

Tiffany & Co. Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden

Monarch butterflies mid-flight, budding florals, bejeweled birds—the latest installment of Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Book high jewelry collection, titled Hidden Garden, captures the natural world in its most resplendent form. Designed by Chief Artistic Officer Nathalie Verdeille in collaboration with the Tiffany Design Studio, the offering draws inspiration from spring renewal and rebirth and builds on the legacy of legendary designer Jean Schlumberger and his famed Bird on a Rock. Themes of growth run throughout, expressed in hand-shaped gold vines, platinum leaves, and striking geometric compositions. As one of the house’s most storied traditions, the Blue Book continues to evolve—balancing heritage with modern innovation for a new generation of collectors.

Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers

Old Navy is continuing its championing of American designers with another collaboration—and this time, it’s all about color. What else should one expect when Christopher John Rogers is in the mix? The designer lent his expert eye for bright hues to the classic retailer for a collection of ready-to-wear and accessories, including bags and scarves. Rogers’s signature patterns and saturated colors appear throughout the collection: in a knit skirt set, cotton maxi shirt dress, and easy-to-wear denim. The playfulness that Rogers brings to his own work is also at play in the collaboration, and numerous matching sets offer the ability to mix and match with abandon.

“Old Navy has always represented an optimistic vision of American style—something joyful, expressive, and open to everyone,” Rogers says in a statement. “With this collection, we wanted to bring our love of color, shape, and statement dressing into a space where more people can experience it and make it their own.” Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers is available to shop now at oldnavy.com and in select Old Navy stores nationwide.

H&M x Stella McCartney

The high-low collaborations continue with a new partnership between H&M and Stella McCartney. Over twenty years after first working together, the two brands are joining forces again, and that history will come into play with these new and reinvented styles. Archival inspirations meet current signatures, including oversize shirting, sharp tailoring, and bejeweled prints and slogan tops. “I see this collection as a journey through my fashion history,” McCartney says. “It is a true mix of current classics and some of my old favorites that showcase my foray into fashion and the development of my signatures. It’s playful, strong, sparkling, joyful, refined.” Mesh dresses are perfect nighttime looks, while sleek sets were made for the office. And, of course, bags are on offer too, specifically six styles ranging from large totes to more compact clutches. The Falabella chain detail, a classic for Stella McCartney, pops up throughout the collection, decorating bags, loafers, and jewelry, while McCartney’s famous “Rock Royalty” shirt returns once again. Get it all for yourself beginning on May 7.

Alaïa Denim

There are many changes underway at Alaïa. With Pieter Mulier’s departure from the brand, a new creative director will soon step in to fill the space. But in the meantime, Alaïa is hardly twiddling its thumbs. Instead, the brand is branching into a new lane, denim, with a line of jeans designed to sculpt and define women’s lower half.

To be clear, denim is hardly a new fabric for Alaïa, which has been showing jeans for decades. But now, Alaïa Denim will stand on its own as the brand becomes a go-to for the wardrobe staple. The styles were developed over the course of a year, and as a result, each piece is refined and exact. The brand will offer six shapes: Bootcut, Palazzo, Fit and Flare, Round, Skinny, and Straight. Each style comes in a different wash, with the Bootcut rendered in a deep-sea blue and the Fit-and-Flare offering a more sand-washed option. The denim itself was made in Japan, where it was rope-dyed and treated to perfection, just like one would a second skin. Alaïa Denim is available now on maison-alaia.com and across the brand’s retail network.

Vatísmo by Willy Chavarria for Zara

While we must wait until September to see what John Galliano has in store for Zara, Willy Chavarria’s collection for the global retailer will be available much sooner. Vatísmo allows Chavarria’s creative perspective to reach a new, worldwide platform, without diluting the designer’s vision. The collection highlights Chavarria’s signature style, including his precise tailoring and strong silhouettes. Rendered in Italian fabrics, leather, cupro, denim, knits, and jerseys, the line references American workwear and Chavarria’s own Chicano cultural identity. The name of the collection is a colloquial term used in the Chicano community to refer to friends, partners, homies, and loved ones. With his collection, Chavarria is extending the boundaries of his community to include the masses. Vatísmo features ready-to-wear, jewelry, and accessories, and will be available in select Zara stores and online at zara.com beginning on March 26.

John Hardy’s Icon Stud Collection

Designed under Reed Krakoff, the line marks the second chapter of the house’s creative partnership with Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell; their influence is felt in a balance of edge and delicacy. Spanning earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings in silver, gold, and diamond pavé, the pieces are designed for daily wear with impact. As John Hardy celebrates 50 years, Icon Stud signals a sleeker, more directional evolution for the heritage brand. Shop the collection now at John Hardy boutiques and johnhardy.com.

Stetson & THE GREAT.

Fashion’s Western fixation continues, and if The Great’s latest collaboration is an indication, the trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The clothing brand has partnered with Stetson for a 25-piece collection that combines The Great’s classic Americana style with Stetson’s 160-year-old Western heritage.

Faded blues, calming neutrals, and gently worn reds make up the color palette for the collection. Floral embroidery and vintage-influenced prints appear on a wardrobe that impressively remains modern in spite of its classic Western details.

Ranging in price from $45 to $625, offerings include embroidered chambray tops and matching skirts to be topped with cozy belted cardigans. Of course, there are hats featuring Stetson’s signature craftsmanship, along with belts, bags, and a variety of cowboy boots. Stetson & The Great is available online now at www.stetson.com and www.thisisthegreat.com, as well as The Great’s retail locations and select stockists.

Thom Browne x Asics

It seems like these days, every luxury brand is dipping its toes into the sneaker market—and now, Thom Browne is the latest designer to tap into his sporty side. Browne has partnered with Asics on a new shoe that reinterprets the Gel-Kayano 14 using luxury materials and finishes. Performance merges with Thom Browne’s signature tailoring to create a style that fits squarely into both brands’ codes. Red, white, and blue lace catchers incorporate his favorite patriotic colorway, while nodding to the designer’s past as a varsity swimmer and runner. Leather and suede heighten the design, while piping accents reference Browne’s tailoring prowess. The sneaker represents the perfect blend of both brands, combining the divergent styles to create a detail-driven, yet still wearable shoe. The Thom Browne x Asics Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers come in three colorways: black, gray, and white. The former two are available now at Thom Browne retail locations, on www.thombrowne.com, and in select retailers globally. Launch details for the white version will follow.

J. Crew’s Rollneck Sweater

Just in time for New York Fashion Week, J. Crew has tapped five emerging American designers to reinterpret the brand’s signature rollneck sweater. Bucci NYC, Collina Strada, Eckhaus Latta, Patrick Taylor, and Tanner Fletcher were all invited to bring the 40-year-old staple into their aesthetic universe. Each designer lent their own points of view to the project, resulting in five very different takes on the sweater. Hillary Taymour of Collina Strada—a brand known for its use of color and texture—incorporated both into her version, presenting a pink-and-green striped top with feminine lace. Tanner Fletcher designers, Tanner Richie and Fletcher Kasell, opted to go in a more retro direction and paid homage to J. Crew’s nautical roots with a whimsical, sailor-inspired flap-tie. Those looking to show a bit of skin while staying warm will no doubt gravitate toward Mishka Ivanovic’s design for Buci NYC, which features a low back that adds a touch of unexpected sex appeal. The five iterations mean there’s something for everyone in this collection, and you can shop it now on jcrew.com or in the store’s immersive pop-up experience on 75 Spring Street.

Gap x Harlem Fashion Row

Gap has partnered with five designers of color through Harlem’s Fashion Row (HFR) on a 20-piece capsule collection reimagining iconic Gap denim into statement silhouettes and archive-inspired essentials. Daveed Baptiste of Daveed Baptiste, LaTouché of LaTouché, Igdaliah Pickering of Igdalyah, Waina Chancy of Atelier Ndigo, and Nicole Benefield of Nicole Benefield Portfolio were all tapped to create four pieces that reimagine denim through their respective lenses. Baptiste, a Brooklyn-based Haitian-American artist, was inspired by ocean waves, Caribbean shores, and blue sunsets, while Benefield looked to redefine the modern uniform by incorporating menswear-inspired utilitarian themes. Together, the individual capsules showcase the versatility of denim and the depth of Gap’s archives. The Gap × Harlem’s Fashion Row collection is available to shop now at gap.com and in select Gap store locations.

Jimmy Choo x Noir Kei Ninomiya

They say opposites attract, which was very much the case for the collaboration between Jimmy Choo and Noir Kei Ninomiya. Originally presented as part of Noir Kei Ninomiya’s spring 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week last fall, the collection merges the modern femininity and craftsmanship of Jimmy Choo with Kei Ninomiya’s avant-garde innovation. Inspired by the Noir Kei Ninomiya spring 2026 theme of “pure and playful,” the collaboration consists of four shoes, three harnesses, and a bag. Feminine and masculine converge in the form of the Maxi Loafer, which combines a classic men’s loafer with a delicate Jimmy Choo drop heel. For those seeking a simpler style, there’s the Star Shoe, a simple Oxford decorated with studded stars. The harnesses, similarly, are adorned with crystals and steel studs, as is the nappa leather backpack.

“I have always been fascinated by the design of the Comme des Garçons universe—an incredible and rich commitment to creativity without borders or boundaries, so to collaborate with Kei is the realization of a decades-long dream,” says Jimmy Choo creative director Sandra Choi. “Expanding Jimmy Choo beyond traditional concepts of luxury, this collection melds together both of our distinct aesthetics in a celebration of the power of pure imagination.” The Jimmy Choo x Noir Kei Ninomiya is available now on jimmychoo.com, through select retailers, and at Jimmy Choo and Dover Street Market boutiques.

Bulgari Icons Minaudière Collection

Bulgari’s creative director of leather goods and accessories, Mary Katrantzou, introduces a new line of objets d’art, inspired by over 140 years of the high jewelry brand’s expertise and savoir-faire of jewelry-making. The collection reimagines five of Bulgari’s timeless symbols, including the Serpenti, transforming them into functional accessories. Each one is created from precious enamel, pavé settings, and various inlays of semiprecious color stones. The pieces are suspended from a delicate chain and offered in two sizes—the minaudière and the miniature vanity—making them functional, as well as beautiful.

In honor of the launch, Bulgari tapped photographer Ethan James Green to capture five women with their minaudières. Each person embodies the collection and its representation of strength, transformation, wisdom, allure, and identity. Models, actors, and more, these women are creators of culture. With this new collection, Katrantzou hopes to allow everyone to “carry culture” around with them, too. The Icons Minaudière Collection is available at 11 Bulgari boutiques worldwide.

Givenchy by Sarah Burton’s Snatch Bag

We’ve had the opportunity to sit with Sarah Burton’s Givenchy for almost a year now, through two collections and a lot of red carpet dressing, which makes it the perfect time for the designer to release her first official purse with the brand, the Snatch Bag.

Described as “a study in intimacy,” the bag complements Burton’s designs for Givenchy, with sculptural curves that mimic the shape of a woman’s body, specifically one adorned in a cinched jacket that shows off the waist, or a bra that curves downward to display décolletage. Crafted in supple, calf-grain leather, the bag features short handles that enable over-the-shoulder wear, as well as strips of leather that extend from the top. The bag is available in three sizes—including a small version that can be worn across the body—and in various colorways, both classics like black and dark brown and more eccentric options like baby pink and red. The hardware is also available in both gold and silver, making the piece customizable. The Snatch Bag will be available soon on givenchy.com and in Givenchy stores.

Moncler x Rick Owens

Moncler is sealing its latest collaboration with a kiss. Or rather, multiple kisses. The outerwear brand is celebrating its first collaboration with Rick Owens with a campaign shot by Juergen Teller. In the set of six images, Owens, Teller, and their respective wives and creative partners, Michèle Lamy and Dovile Drizyte, trade smooches while dressed head-to-toe in the collection.

While Moncler is known mostly for its winterwear, this collaboration offers more lightweight, warm-weather options. The looks are inspired by Berlin’s brutalist architecture, as well as the city’s natural spaces, where those hulking buildings meet bucolic greenery. (Owens calls it “brucolic.”) Each garment, therefore, can take the wearer from the city streets straight to the great outdoors. An adjustable jersey skirt and nappa leather bomber may lean more toward a more cosmopolitan air, while Trailgrip Megalace sneakers and a cropped, funnel-neck down jacket are begging to be taken on a hike. With a refined color palette of black, dark dust, vintage olive, and bold carnelian red, these pieces can be worn anywhere and feel completely at home. The collection is available now on moncler.com, rickowens.eu, and in selected Moncler stores, Rick Owens flagship stores, and select retailers.

Though Jean Paul Gaultier’s corsets and cone bras is a longtime code of the French house, it’s always been ripe for reinvention. Laura Harrier is the latest star to show a new side to the brand’s sultry classics—including a nod to one of its longtime devotees—at the premiere Michael.

Harrier, who plays music executive Suzanne de Passe, stepped out at the Dolby Theatre in a jumpsuit that nodded to Gaultier’s signature. Her ensemble by new creative director Duran Lantink included smooth black velvet trousers, complete with a surrealist wavy jacquard waistline. True to Gaultier’s codes, the piece was cinched by a pale nude-toned corset with visible boning, and topped with a sleeveless black bust stitched into pointed triangles.

Though her accents were minimal—including simple black sandals and a nude manicure—Harrier’s outfit packed a major hidden reference. Her ensemble instantly harkened back to Madonna’s icoinc rendition of the cone bra from her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour. That subversive shape brought a similar dynamism to Harrier’s attire, despite its disarmingly simple initial palette.

The look also made Harrier the latest star to step out in Lantink’s designs for Gaultier. Recent months have seen Tyla, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Emily Ratajkowski in new looks highlighting the brand’s original exaggerated busts and corsets, as well. After 2025’s whirlwind designer shuffle, it appears Gaultier—one of spring’s most anticipated debuts—is beginning to find its footing with an assortment of sleek celebrity dressers.

Harrier’s jumpsuit also marked a departure from her standard red carpet attire, which has typically taken a formal and single-toned route. With one bold corset, it seems the actress has opened the door to a new fashion chapter with room for experimentation and play—which Gaultier himself, as well as Madonna, would surely approve of.

In 2026, what would Emily Charlton wear? Though audiences will get a closer look at the beloved fashion assistant-turned-executive’s style in The Devil Wears Prada 2, Emily Blunt gave us an idea at the film’s New York City premiere. During the occasion at Lincoln Center, the actress’s avant-garde Schiaparelli gave Charlton’s edgier sensibilities a glamorous update while truly commanding the red carpet.

Blunt’s ensemble, hailing from the house’s spring 2026 couture collection, featured a gilded feathered bodice with a rounded plume accent. A frothy champagne tulle skirt cut into asymmetric layers gave the strapless piece added drama worthy of Charlton’s own wardrobe, perhaps nodding to the tutu we last saw her in at the end of the first film. Her piece’s greatest surprise, however, came from its back—a lace-up minidress that mimicked the cinching of a corset, allowing the full skirt to create an avant-garde fashion illusion.

Blunt’s look was complete with a tiered pearl Mikimoto necklace embellished with gold charms, as well as a matching bracelet and stud earrings. Nude sandals trimmed in Schiaparelli’s signature gold measuring tape motif finished her ensemble with a nod to fashion designers’ tools, remaining surrealist, elegant, and entirely on-theme.

This wasn’t Blunt’s only look from the premiere, however. While leaving the theater with husband John Krasinski, the actress swapped her dramatic couture for a black ribbed sweater with exaggerated shoulders, Swiss-dotted tights, and a sheer slit skirt covered in gold floral brocade. Her second Charlton-esque outfit was accented by long gold earrings with swirling round posts, while a black leather clutch and suede sandals provided a clean frame for its textures and metallic tones to shine.

Blunt’s two outfits were dark and filled with rich textures, two core elements of Charlton’s looks in both The Devil Wears Prada films. Eagle-eyed fans will recall her outfitted in dark beadwork, pinstripes, and reptilian embossments from labels like Vivienne Westwood, Fendi, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Valentino in the original. Meanwhile, the sequel’s shown the character wearing abundance of gothic styles from new employer Dior, as well as pieces by Rick Owens and Coach.

It seems Charlton’s love of eye-catching fashion hasn’t subsided within the film’s 20-year timeline—in fact, it’s only gotten stronger. Blunt’s attire has achieved the same effect, with a flair for the dramatic that truly earned her premiere look’s celebratory reception.

We’re four months into the year, and already, the social calendar is full up. Brands are wasting no time breaking out the champagne and hors d’oeuvres, fueled by awards season, new collaborations, or the simple desire to throw a great bash. Fêtes are taking place all over the world in honor of award nominees, fresh launches, the Olympics, fashion month, and every other reason imaginable. It’s all just an excuse to have a wonderful time. And while you might not be invited to the biggest parties in town, you can still enjoy them vicariously. Keep checking back here as we cover the best and brightest events of the year—and their A-list attendees.

Gala season in New York City is officially in full swing. Apex for Youth—an organization that mentors and supports underserved Asian and immigrant youth in NYC—hosted its annual fete on April 16 at Cipriani South Street. The event drew over 600 guests and raised nearly $3.7 million for the nonprofit, which offers health-focused programming, education, and community engagement via volunteers. Olympic champion Eileen Gu, shown here with Michael Chung, attended the event, along with actress Lana Condor, who received honors.

“The Inspiration Awards Gala is one of the few moments where you can see the full ecosystem of Apex in one room—our youth, mentors, supporters, and partners,” executive director of Apex for Youth Jiyoon Chung told W. “It’s powerful because the impact is tangible. You’re not just hearing about change—you’re witnessing the relationships and community that make it possible.” That sentiment proved true when Avantika Vandanapu, pictured here, presented Condor her award onstage.

Of course, the dinnertime auction is as key for a gala as the starry guest list. During the evening, guests like Kim Shui—photographed here with Chloe Misseldine and Isiah Magsino—Sandy Liang, Dao-Yi Chow, and many other New York City insiders helped raise nearly $4 million for Apex for Youth.

Next up on April 15 was The Bronx Museum of the Arts, which held its annual gala at Tribeca Rooftop this year. Artist Awol Erizku, cultural patron Lois Plehn, and designer and artist Colm Dillane (aka KidSuper)—pictured here with The Bronx Museum’s director and chief curator, Shamim M. Momin—received honors during the stylish party, which included dinner and a live auction.

Joey Bada$$ and Ferg, shown here, were also in attendance for the soirée—the museum’s most important yearly fund-raiser, which also served as a welcome party for Momin, who threw her first Bronx Museum gala that evening.

Alex Consani may be known as a downtown fashion darling, but on Friday, April 10, the model traveled to Times Square for a party celebrating the acclaimed artist Tomokazu Matsuyama’s latest work. Along with Lulu Tenney, Hank Willis Thomas, and many more art-world stars, Consani feted Matsuyama’s new piece, Morning Again, with a soirée that began at the Times Square EDITION and ended on the Red Steps—where Consani joined Matsuyama to watch the project illuminate Times Square.

Commissioned by the Times Square Arts Midnight Moment program, Morning Again will screen nightly from April 1-30 from 11:57 PM to midnight, on nearly 100 electronic billboards in Times Square.

In the piece, the Japanese–born, New York–based artist Matsuyama—pictured here with Hank Willis Thomas—traces four symbolic currents that move through New York City: flows of hope, rhythm, self-expression, and transformation.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, March 26, Movado toasted its latest chapter at New York’s King restaurant, where brand president Margot Grinberg hosted a seated lunch along with ambassador Julianne Moore. The gathering marked the debut of three new women’s watch collections—Museum Bangle, Heritage 1917, and Museum Velura—as well as the official launch of Curve, Movado’s newest high-fashion jewelry collection. All were showcased alongside archival designs.

“I’ve always admired Movado for its clean, modern aesthetic and its ability to create pieces that feel both timeless and deeply personal,” said Moore. “These new collections are beautifully crafted and thoughtfully designed—a true reflection of the brand’s artistry and its commitment to celebrating women.”

On Thursday, March 19, guests gathered for an intimate dinner at The Odeon hosted by Loewe and Bergdorf Goodman. The party celebrated Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s first collection as Loewe’s new creative directors as well as the house’s takeover of Bergdorf’s famed windows.

American Love Story star Grace Gummer and Mark Ronson joined the exclusive group, carrying his-and-hers Amazona bags.

True Whitaker also joined the event, whose guests included Britt Lower, Michael Stipe, Jayme Lawson, Sandra Bernhard, Morgan Spector, Lucas Hedges, Isaac Powell, Talia Ryder, Tramell Tillman, and more.

Along with the collection launch, McCollough and Hernandez collaborated with Bergdorf Goodman on exclusive custom windows and an interior installation in the brand’s women’s store, bringing their spring 2026 collection to life.

On March 18 in Manhattan’s Union Square neighborhood, Dua Lipa descended upon the new Nespresso flagship boutique on 5th Avenue. Wearing a white minidress and a stunning Serpenti necklace, the singer toasted her status as the coffee brand’s latest global ambassador. Guests sipped on espresso martinis (like DJ Mia Moretti, above) and plucked tuna crispy rice bites from geometric blocks held by the waitstaff. As the sun set outside, the crowd trooped downstairs for more dancing.

Meanwhile, farther uptown at The Pool/The Grill, art-world luminaries gathered to celebrate the 16th annual Art Production Fund gala. The event—which supports the organization’s work of commissioning and producing public art projects—raised a record-breaking $1 million. More than 300 guests including Chloe Wise and Brooke Wise, along with gallerista Hannah Traore (shown above) attended, decked out in fashion that reflected the theme of the night: après ski at the “APF Chalet.”

Legendary artists like Marilyn Minter and Sanford Biggers showed up for APF, whose executive director, Casey Fremont, can be seen here with the duo.

Spring brings countless galas to New York City, but we’re pretty sure there’s only one where you’ll find the city’s premiere “experimental clown” performing as one of artist Paul McCarthy’s famed butt plugs and donors will get called “pay pigs.” Welcome to Performance Space New York’s annual spring gala, where this year, the best way to do some good was to be very, very bad.

Playwright Jordan Tannahill, fresh off his off-Broadway success Prince Faggot, stepped into the role of creative director and reimagined a kink-friendly gala with a “Haute Fetish” dress code that that meant black leather was more common than black tie. This year’s gala honored fashion’s Michèle Lamy, artist McCarthy, and writer Samuel R. Delany, all creatives who no one has ever accused of being prudes. Naturally, Tannahill called in former dominatrix Julia Fox and her BFF, the photographer and model Richie Shazam, to cohost. Dressed as a gala table to open the night, Fox reminded the crowd this was a kink-friendly event. She pulled up comedian Julio Torres onstage to interrogate him about his favorite kink. “A memorable, entertaining night supporting the arts,” he demurred.

French singer Yseult, long-known for making a statement on the Cannes red carpet, made her United States performance debut with her new single “Freak” accompanied by a BDSM performance by Mistress Nina, Dahlia Damoiselle, and Tristan Allen.

Moses Sumney performed a multisong tribute to Lamy, including his first performance of his song “Rank & File” in years.

Performance artist and clown Alex Tatarsky’s tribute to Paul McCarthy was undoubtedly one of the evening’s most delightfully weird moments.

Right as the elevator doors were about to close and take us to the fifth floor of the WSA building for Free Arts NYC’s 26th Annual Gala, none other than Rosie Perez slipped in. There’s no better omen for a good night in the city than starting it with an accidental run-in with one of its cultural icons. Once inside, we were greeted with a glass of red wine and gallery walls full of 70 works on paper by a who’s-who of art-world notables, including Tschabalala Self, KAWS, Will Cotton, and Marilyn Minter. They would all be auctioned off that night through an online portal to benefit the nonprofit. Even New York’s new first lady, Rama Duwaji, donated a sketch.

Founded in 1997, Free Arts NYC provides kids from underserved communities with both daylong creative workshops for younger artists and more in-depth mentorship and scholarship programs for teenage artists.

This year’s edition honored three women from three different generations: artists Katherine Bradford and Sasha Gordon, and Jody Quon, creative director of New York magazine. Yet the three didn’t just show up to collect their adoration on gala night. Earlier in the year, the trio stopped by to both offer advice and create alongside Free Arts students. The results—“exquisite corpse”-style drawings—were also on display.

“Free Arts is planting seeds of curiosity that will undeniably make this world more beautiful,” Quon said upon accepting her award. “We are not just investing in children’s art. We are investing in the next generation of thinkers, makers, leaders, and dreamers.”

Stylist and editor Alastair Mckimm and photographer Carin Backoff represented the fashion world.

This was the rare gala for an arts foundation in which the act of creation literally took center stage. Artist Adam Dressner had set up an easel to paint live portraits of guests during both the cocktail hour and after party. At dinner, guests were provided with colored pencils and encouraged to draw on the table by Free Arts founder Liz Hopfan. Paper had been placed over some windows, with crayons provided to encourage guests to leave a doodle. “A sketch is a funny thing,” she told the crowd. “We tend to think of it as lesser, the thing before the thing. But a sketch is where we are all most honestly ourselves. It's a color test, a first instinct, a page that was never meant to be seen. This is where Free Arts lives, too.”

Nike

On February 15, Nike closed out All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles with All-Time High, a star-studded after party at the members-only Bird Streets Club on Sunset Boulevard. The event wrapped up the weekend and celebrated the intersection of sports and entertainment, bringing together figures across industries like Teyana Taylor, Travis Scott, Damson Idris, Takashi Murakami, Steve Lacy, Ego Nwodim, and more.

Zack Bia was on deck, DJing for the crowd, followed by a lineup that included Chase B, Coco & Breezy, and Hank Korsan.

The event space had a sprawling setup, where guests could move between three different floors, each with their own unique feel. The layout lent itself to the eclectic crowd that had gathered there, which also included musician Shaboozey.

Bulgari

Eternal beauty was the theme of the night at the Bulgari event held at the luxury jewelry brand’s Rodeo Drive flagship on January 15. VIP clients, celebrities, and creatives came together to celebrate Bulgari Eternal, a new collection breathing new life into archival designs.

Maude Apatow, Phoebe Dynevor, and Ryan Destiny were in attendance on Thursday night, enjoying the conversation and immersive experiences on offer. Apatow and Destiny, specifically, acted as models for the evening, wearing the new collection while enjoying rooftop cocktails and the celebratory atmosphere.

Bulgari

The mood was set by Kaytranada and Kim Gordon, who both delivered DJ sets for the guests, keeping the energy high throughout the evening. It was a true L.A. party, celebrating glitz, glamour, and, of course, Bulgari.

Last night, the fashion world returned en masse to Lincoln Center for The Devil Wears Prada 2’s New York City premiere. On the red carpet, many guests opted for referential looks to the first film, ranging from full Miranda Priestly drag to Andrea Sachs’ makeover bangs, cerulean sweaters, and more. However, Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep proved a coordinated approach is always best—especially in devilishly chic red.

Hathaway made a radiant arrival on the carpet in a custom ruby-red silk dress by Louis Vuitton. Her sharply tailored style featured a bustier bodice, which flowed into an expertly flared skirt. Stylist Erin Walsh enhanced the piece’s color with matching platform sandals, complemented by sparkling diamond and ruby Bulgari jewelry.

Meanwhile, Streep took a similarly colorful approach in an ensemble that seemed instantly reminiscent of Priestly herself. The actress’s flowing leather cape dress, a Givenchy by Sarah Burton design, was given a dynamic edge through its bright scarlet hue, complete with a knotted scarf neckline. Her look was sleekly finished with black leather opera gloves and pointed-toe boots by stylist Micaela Erlanger. Oversized black sunglssed and sparkling diamond earrings provided a deviously glamorous finish, cleverly akin to Priestly’s de-facto shades and statement jewelry.

Throughout The Devil Wears Prada 2’s sweeping press tour, Hathaway and Streep have made headlines for their extensive wardrobes tied to the original film. Across Mexico City, Tokyo, Seoul, and Shanghai, both stars’ ensembles have referenced everything from Streep’s iconic “cerulean” speech to the first movie’s poster—and their latest was no exception. With red and black colors at their core, the pair’s looks in New York City clearly connected to the movie’s signature color palette. It also fueled the flames of the ongoing fan theory that both Miranda and Andrea could be “devils” in the workplace in the stylish film, hinted from their coordinating sunglasses—natutrally, worn indoors—in its viral trailers.

As for if that theory proves correct? Eager fans will have to wait until May 1 until the movie’s official release, following its last tour stop in London. That’s all!

More than two decades ago, Rihanna kicked down the doors of the music industry with her single “Pon de Replay,” which became a hit when she was just 17. Since then, she has grown to be one of the most recognizable—and beloved—musicians of all time. She has won nine Grammy Awards and is the youngest-ever solo performer with 14 No. 1 singles; but that’s just the beginning. With her multifaceted career, she has redefined what a strong-willed, forward-thinking artist can be.

In 2017, the Right Excellent Robyn Rihanna Fenty—as she is known in her native Barbados, where she has the designation of National Hero—set a new industry standard with Fenty Beauty, a range of cosmetics that catered to more than 40 shades of skin tone. The following year, she launched Savage x Fenty, a lingerie line with offerings in sizes XS to 4XL. She has had numerous collaborations with labels as varied as Puma and Chopard, and her Fenty label, created in partnership with LVMH, merged high fashion with street style. The Savage x Fenty runway shows, often held in stadium-size spaces with public access, ushered in a new class of diverse models and an aesthetic that promoted inclusivity long before it was a buzzword.

Rihanna also solidified a long-standing friendship that turned into a relationship with her now partner, the rapper (and style icon) A$AP Rocky. In 2022, she gave birth to their first child, Rza, having publicly acknowledged her desire to be a mother for several years. Riot, their second son, arrived in 2023, followed by a daughter, Rocki, in 2025. Even her most private moments led to a zeitgeist shift: During her pregnancies, Rihanna upended the expectations around maternity wear, accenting her round belly in edgy designs. She wore a skintight red Loewe catsuit during the 2023 Super Bowl, where she revealed her second pregnancy to more than 121 million viewers while performing on a suspended platform. She’s inspired a whole generation of expectant women, who might have otherwise felt pressured to shroud their growing bodies, to be free.

There is no particular secret to how Rihanna has accomplished all this: She has smashed glass ceilings and blasted her way into the pop culture stratosphere by being herself. She’ll, say, ask Mariah Carey to autograph her chest after seeing her in concert, or DM her favorite Real Housewives. It might seem like a no-brainer now, but in her early days, when celebrities relied on artificial, carefully curated images, her openness felt revolutionary. To this day, Rihanna seems always eager to take chances and make a statement. The story you see here, for instance, a fashion fantasy photographed by Tim Walker, marks Rocki’s first public appearance—dressed in a Dior Haute Couture diaper and headpiece that the designer Jonathan Anderson created just for her.

The ultrachic baby outfit is a tiny example of the inspiring partnerships that have made Rihanna such a beloved cultural figure. With that in mind, we asked some of her friends, collaborators, and fellow legends: What does it actually look like, up close, to be Rihanna? The picture that emerges is that of a singular artist, a mogul, and a mother who is unflinchingly resilient and always looking to lead rather than follow.

You and Rihanna have known each other for a long time, and have been together for several years. How has she changed?

A$AP Rocky, musician, actor, and partner to Rihanna: She has changed a lot because she became a mother in that time span, and that certainly changes you. But this woman has always been magic. Philosophically, the way she operates is on another level. She is the most charming and genuine person on Earth. Her energy is unmatched—one of a kind. I just adore her.

What’s something you enjoy doing together?

A$AP Rocky: We have so many of the same interests. We were addicted to watching documentaries, like the Bob Marley one. Watching films together is so fun. We must’ve watched El Cantante 15 times.

Can you summarize Rihanna in one sentence?

Pharrell Williams, musician and designer: She’s a force.

How has Rihanna changed the music industry?

Mary J. Blige, musician: Rihanna completely raised the bar and elevated the game. She is a fashion icon. She was dropping smashes back-to-back and bringing more awareness to dancehall mixed with R&B.

When did you first meet Rihanna?

Mariah Carey, musician: I was introduced to Rihanna when she was about 17 years old, by our mutual friend Jay-Z. She was just getting started, and I had a feeling she was going to be a major star. She’s a real girl’s girl.

At your 2024 concert, Rihanna asked you to sign her chest. What’s it like having her at your shows?

Carey: She brings such great energy! The chest-signing moment was a li’l out of the ordinary, but I thought it was hilarious!

You cowrote and were featured on the song “Consideration,” which was on Rihanna’s last album, Anti, in 2016. What’s it like working with her?

SZA, musician: She knows exactly what she wants. Her taste level is super unique. The second she heard “Consideration,” she didn’t hesitate. She said, “This one!” It was the coolest thing I had made at the time. I couldn’t believe she thought it was cool too. Very fever dream–coded!

What’s a standout memory you have of her?

SZA: We were about to perform at the Brit Awards in 2016. I had no experience and definitely didn’t know where the hell I was or what this meant. It was suggested that I basically wear a curtain and disappear, and when I told her, she immediately said, “Hell, no! We need you to look hot!” She made sure I got to pick whatever I wanted and looked cute. That’s how I ended up in booty shorts and fishnets for my first television performance.

Rihanna was your costar in the 2013 film This Is the End. What’s your favorite memory of her?

Jonah Hill, actor: After we shot This Is the End, I ran into her at a bar, and it was my birthday. She had a joint and was generous enough to share with my friends, and one of my friends got so stoned that she pooped her pants. Rihanna has that “make your friends shit their pants” weed.

When did you first meet Rihanna?

Paloma Elsesser, model: At the first Fenty Beauty shoot in 2017. I was nervous but so excited because I’m a true Rihanna stan. She expressed her gratitude for my being there and individually came up to every girl, offering sincere compliments. It was so insanely cool coming from the baddest bitch alive! Rihanna is powerful and comes on her time. Once she’s there, she is a commanding force—always delivering and bringing a potent and present energy.

What are three lessons you’ve learned from Rihanna that have helped your career?

Elsesser: Never deviate from your vision, bring your friends with you, and never give a fuck.

What is a standout memory you have of Rihanna?

Elsesser: Her scent. <3

How did you meet Rihanna? What was your first impression of her?

Sarah Paulson, actor: It was on the set of Ocean’s 8 [in which Rihanna played Nine Ball, a computer hacker], and I remember thinking she was the single most electrifying creature I’d ever laid eyes on. She seemed reserved, and that surprised me. She hadn’t done a ton of acting at this point, so I was struck by how much listening and watching she was doing. She was taking it all in, like a wise person.

What is a standout memory you have of Rihanna?

Paulson: My partner, Holland Taylor, visited me on set when we were shooting the heist scene at the Met. Rihanna was in this beautiful red dress, and when Holland saw her she let out a yelp, like, “Holy God.” Rihanna said to her, “You know what? You’re the MVP.” Holland went, “Why?” And she said, “Because you’ve got to put up with her,” and she pointed to me. Holland to this day will say to me, “Remember—even Rihanna knew what I have to deal with with your ass.” And I can’t argue with it. It was the most correct assessment. There was a part of Rihanna that I knew enjoyed how crazy I was—we laughed a lot. I was always freestyling, trying to come up with songs that I thought could be her next No. 1. She would look at me like, “You can’t sing. Your lyrics aren’t bad, but what you’re doing vocally is upsetting.”

What was it like working with Rihanna on your 2019 film, Guava Island?

Donald Glover, musician and actor: She came in very relaxed and malleable. She’d read and memorized everything already, but asked a lot of questions on what her character was looking for. It was cool to see her dive into it with no real fear of vulnerability. She just came in ready to play, which was really refreshing.

What’s a standout memory you have of her?

Glover: When she came to the house in Cuba before filming to just chat and meet my son. She bent down to his level and said, “How are you, little man?” And my son said nothing but then put his whole fist in his mouth. He’d never done that before, nor has he after. I laughed for the rest of the day. I think her aura was just too much for him.

What was it like meeting Rihanna in 2024 after years of citing her as an inspiration?

Ayra Starr, musician: It was one of the most amazing feelings, like two sisters, best friends reuniting after being apart for a long time. That’s my matriarch! Don’t play.

What is an important memory you have of Rihanna?

Starr: Sitting with her while we watched my music videos. The fact that she was pointing out her favorite parts felt so unreal. It honestly felt like a dream watching someone I’ve looked up to, listened to, and admired my whole life truly see me and appreciate my music. At the time, I was struggling with my self-image and confidence, so that moment meant everything. It felt like God had sent her to me.

You’ve made hats for Rihanna for more than a decade. What’s it like working with her?

Stephen Jones, milliner: The first one I made for her was in 2009: a little top hat she wore to a Dior Haute Couture show. She’s really into hats, she loves dressing up, and she doesn’t see it as a challenge. She’s an active participant in the creative process.

What’s a standout memory you have of Rihanna?

Jones: When I was making her a hat [that resembled a pope’s mitre] for the 2018 Met Gala. We went into her bathroom with a few different hats to try on. I said, “How do you want to look?” She replied, “Funny enough, nobody has asked me that. I want to look pretty.” I said, “The hat is quite heavy with all the embroidery,” and she said, “Have you seen the shoes? The hat is not the problem.”

What was it like working with her on this W shoot?

Jones: She loves playing. After the most recent Dior Haute Couture show, she wore one of the headpieces out for a party. She is as devoted to fashion as fashion is devoted to her.

What’s a standout memory you have of Rihanna?

Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior: During the Super Bowl, in a bathroom. I have never met someone so emotionally open, and who makes you feel at ease and is open to collaborating on any level. I think everything that she does comes from a state of kindness—it’s very rare in someone.

How is working with her different from working with other celebrity Dior ambassadors?

Anderson: She knows exactly who she is and what works on her. She knows how to interpret your creative vision and make it her own.

For this W shoot, there were some special couture items, like baby Rocki’s diaper and headpiece. How did those come about?

Anderson: The haute couture diaper is definitely a first for Dior. When Rihanna asks for something, she is already ahead of what is happening. She is thinking outside the box. When she has an idea, I’m always trusting in the process. I trust her implicitly on anything she feels that is right to do.

Since Matthieu Blazy’s first Chanel collection debuted in October, the brand has attracted a slate of surprising—and welcome—new faces into its front rows. One such star is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who continued her recent high-fashion foray at the New York City premiere of her The Sheep Detectives, in which she voices one of the sheep who attempts to solve a crime. Fittingly, her attire embraced the city that never sleeps with fashionable aplomb.

Louis-Dreyfus slipped on a New York-worthy uniform of an all-black blouse, trousers, and pointed-toe heels for the Jazz at Lincoln Center occasion. A tweed Chanel jacket from the brand’s Métiers d’Art 2026 collection gave her look a whimsical burst of primary color from its vibrant red, blue, and white palette. The formal piece was even more intricate than mets the eye, however, with gleaming Chanel-branded buttons and chains woven into its fabric for an unexpected shine.

Louis-Dreyfus elevated her Chanel jacket’s lighter hues with the brand’s mother-of-pearl hoop earrings, plus a triangular white leather shoulder bag printed with its double-C logo at the center. Those contrasting neutrals kept the focus on her statement-making outer layer, ensuring its colors popped even more vibrantly.

The Seinfeld actress’s latest Chanel outing marks her latest appearance in the brand, and a surprising fashion girl era. Late last year, Louis-Dreyfus made headlines while attending the brand’s Métiers d’Art runway show, memorably held in an underground subway station. On that occasion, she blossomed in a camellia-trimmed caped jacket and skirt from the label’s spring 2026 collection, complemented by white floral earrings, cap-toed heels, and a deep red leather flap bag.

It seems she likes what she saw at the show, as her recent jacket came from the collection. Hopefully, even more onscreen and high-fashion variety will follow.

If there’s one constant in Ayo Edebiri’s fashion evolution, it’s that she’ll always take the opportunity to deliver an unexpected statement. To celebrate her first leading role in Proof on Broadway, the actress gamely wore one of the most complex looks from Chanel’s spring 2026 haute couture collection—and did so in soaring style.

For Proof’s opening night at the Booth Theatre in New York City—the play’s first revival, which also stars Don Cheadle—Edebiri stepped out in a feathered dress from creative director Matthieu Blazy’s couture debut. Her sleeveless piece featured a sheer gray silk base that had a gleaming silver chain woven along its hemline. Bursts of color shone through layers of silk in white, yellow, black, gray, red, and blue.

The artisanal dress’s textures particularly gave Edebiri’s look added depth. Through gathering, pleating, and delicately frayed edges, the piece’s silk layers artfully mimicked the feathers and swirling movements of bird wings. Aligned with Blazy’s collection’s themes of growth and renewal, the style was a fitting piece for Edebiri as she similarly takes flight onstage this summer, expanding and enhancing her skills as a performer.

Of course, the expert hand of star stylist Danielle Goldberg also played a key role in Edebiri’s Broadway debut look. A simple pair of asymmetric black satin sandals provided a classic complement to the star’s statement dress, allowing its rich colors and textures to take center stage.

Edebiri’s ensemble for Proof’s opening night continues her winning streak of recent Chanel looks, from ladylike tweed to sporty black-and-white. It’s particularly fitting, as she’s one of Blazy’s latest brand ambassadors—a crew that also includes Nicole Kidman, Pedro Pascal, and Lily-Rose Depp, all of whom starred together in the French label’s new eyewear campaign. Edebiri’s look also continues her loyalty to bright red, a hue she’s worn in outfits while walking her dog, on the gala circuit, and at her own film premieres—plus, who could forget her standout Prada dress after her 2024 Golden Globes win? The color symbolizes high energy and passion, which clearly aligns with the actress’ acting dedication across her varied roles in The Bear, Bottoms, After the Hunt, and Opus, and more over the years.

As Edebiri’s career continues to flourish, Broadway is the latest (and newest) feather in her cap. With projects including the drama film Clarissa and Apple TV series Prodigies in the works, she’s staying in the fast lane—and delivering eye-catching looks—until further notice.

It seems like everyone has an opinion on Coachella this year. According to the online masses, the influencers did too much, but Justin Bieber didn’t do enough. The crowds were underwhelming, and the attendees overprivileged. Social media is overflowing as everyone dissects all the brand trips, guest appearances, and mic levels (were they on at all?). But we’re going to leave all those discussions to the “experts.” Instead, we’re here to talk about the clothes. Because while Coachella may be a music festival, it has also become another opportunity for artists to flex their fashion chops, and this year, the performers took it to another level. Sabrina Carpenter set the bar with multiple Dior-provided outfit changes during her night one headlining performance. Bieber, meanwhile, placed himself on the entire other end of the spectrum when he spent his entire set in a hoodie and shorts (though one could call the removal of his sweatshirt a sort of Bieber-level “reveal”). In between those two extremes, we had looks from Sombr, Katseye, and Addison Rae, as well as many of the artists who snuck into the lineup in the form of guest spots. So, if you didn’t have the opportunity—or desire—to head to the desert this year, we’re rounding up all the Coachella looks from both weekends so you can enjoy them from the comfort of your couch. No camping necessary.

Weekend Two: Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna

Just like with week one, Sabrina Carpenter wore all Dior when she took the stage for her second Coachella performance. There was a bit of variety—her first red dress turned blue, conversely, her blue turtleneck turned red, and her black lace bodysuit changed to white. The big headline, though, isn’t the color swaps, but the inclusion of Madonna onstage. The Queen of Pop joined Carpenter in an all purple look, featuring the same boots, corset, and Gucci jacket she wore 20 years prior when she last performed at Coachella.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber also followed a similar outfit formula for weekend two. He swapped out his pink Skylrk sweatshirt for a Greg Ross sleeveless zip-up, but he made up for it by wearing his brand’s shorts. He also traded black Loewe boots for a tan pair.

Sza

Bieber was joined on stage by many special guests on Saturday night, including Sza, who matched the headliner’s laidback aesthetic in a denim jacket and flannel shirt from Balenciaga.

Billie Eilish

Bieber’s “One Less Lonely Girl,” Billie Eilish, meanwhile, was pushed on stage in a purple Nike x Supreme track jacket.

Karol G

Like Carpenter, Karol G also wore similar designs in different colors for her weekend two headlining set. Again, she wore a look from Etro, though this time it was orange instead of blue.

Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo joined Addison Rae and Maddie Ziegler on stage in a custom studded bra from R & M Leathers, vintage Diesel jeans from Bluey Denim, and white Louboutin heels.

Kacey Musgraves

Kacey Musgraves made an unexpected appearance during Coachella weekend two in Levi’s x Bode jeans.

Ethel Cain

Dior dressed Ethel Cain in a draped black silk dress with a floral headpiece for weekend two.

Lisa and Anyma

Lisa joined Anyma on stage in an Iris Van Herpen dress, and since the DJ’s weekend one set was canceled, he was finally able to show off his all-white Vetements look.

Sombr

The rocker wore another custom Valentino look for his second Coachella performance.

Giveon

Giveon looked dapper in a Balenciaga suit.

Labrinth

Labrinth also wore Balenciaga, albeit he brought some color in a red coat.

Central Cee

Central Cee took the weekend two stage in a red velvet Gucci zip-up and branded belt.

Taemin Lee

Taemin Lee wore another full Saint Laurent look for his second set, taking the stage in a taffeta shirt, silk satin tie, and silk pants.

Weekend One: Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter was decked out in custom Dior for her headlining Coachella performance. In addition to this sequined mini dress with draped chiffon sleeves, Jonathan Anderson also created multiple other looks for the pop star. Everything she wore during her set, including the red mini, white two-piece, and lace body suit, was made for her by Dior.

Justin Bieber

Unlike Sabrina Carpenter, who had many outfit changes throughout her set, Justin Bieber kept his wardrobe very simple. The singer began his headlining performance in an oversize pink hoodie from his own brand, Skylrk, and baggy shorts by Lu’u Dan. He completed the ensemble with Loewe Bobby lug-soled boots and a gray, cropped tee, which he revealed halfway through the performance.

Karol G

Karol G was one who took advantage of the big career moment and rocked many different looks throughout her performance. The highlight, though, was undoubtedly the colorful custom Etro set featuring a tassle-adorned skirt, topped with a feathered Luar headpiece, and completed with Shoe Lab Doheny boots.

The Colombian singer also dripped in gold in this chain-heavy set by Michael Schmidt Studios.

While this silver set (also by Michael Schmidt Studios) gave high fashion Flintstones.

This white outfit was contrasted by the ruffled sleeves, which represented the colors of the Colombian flag. The top was created by Adan Terriquez, while Doni Nahmias took on the skirt, and Courreges made the boots.

Becky G

Clearly, Becky G got the colorful memo. She joined Karol onstage in a green and blue look featuring fishnet pants and a beaded top.

Laufey

The Icelandic singer wore a custom tulle Rodarte dress featuring hand beaded Swarovski crystals for her weekend one performance.

Addison Rae

Addison Rae kicked off her set in a gray corseted dress with a tulle skirt from Miss Claire Sullivan.

She later removed the dress to reveal a red latex Agent Provocateur set, which she topped with a matching Ruslan Baginskiy hat.

PinkPantheress

PinkPantheress also wore custom Miss Claire Sullivan, though she later took off the red, white, and blue tulle skirt to reveal blue leggings underneath.

Pink stuck to her patriotic color scheme and changed into a red bandage dress and one-legged blue tights.

At one point, Pink went even more casual and threw on a blue jacket, oversized jeans, and Ugg ballet sneakers.

Ethel Cain

Ethel Cain also got the Dior treatment. She performed her set in custom black denim pinstripe overalls featuring the classic C and D logo on the straps.

Sombr

Sombr looked very much like the classic rocker in a custom Valentino ensemble featuring a rock-studded leather jacket and pants a top a lace long sleeve.

Slayyyter

Unsurprisingly, Slayyyter opted to DIY her Coachella look, which she completed with a bedazzled “Worst Girl at Coachella” trucker hat.

Maria Zardoya

The Puerto Rican-American singer looked like an absolute angel in custom McQueen. She wore an ivory sherling bolero on top of a corset and spiral-cut skirt.

FKA Twigs

FKA twigs wore a feather-covered Guvanch look during her set.

Katseye

Despite the many colors and patterns of their La Lune looks, Katseye still managed to coordinate their outfits (with help from their custom Stand Oil boots).

Central Cee

Central Cee looked comfy in a custom Gap zip-up featuring the word “Cap,” Union Jack–adorned denim shorts also courtesy of Gap, and a Louis Vuitton belt.

Fakemink

Fakemink took the stage in a white tee and sparkly Hedi Slimane–era Dior Homme jeans with a Burberry scarf tied around his waist.

Young Thug

The Atlanta rapper wore a jersey from his own brand, Sp5der, along with studded, snake-print pants.

Julian Casablancas

No, the Strokes’s frontman wasn’t wearing an Amazon Prime T-shirt, but one that boasted the word “Crime” from Villainous New York.

Meg Mills

The Turnstile guitarist wore a Chopova Lowena skirt for the band’s performance.

Holly Humberstone

The British singer wore a white Dilara Findikoglu mini dress with a shell-adorned antique Rebecca Sweeting headpiece and Lili Curia lace-up boots.

Taemin Lee

The K-Pop star wore a full Saint Laurent look to perform on day two of the festival.

It’s officially the season of the witch. Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have reunited for the rare reboot we can root for: a sequel to Practical Magic, their 1998 fantasy film that is single-handedly responsible for thousands of “coastal witch” moodboards. Now, Practical Magic 2 has both a release date and its first trailer. Here’s everything we know so far:

Here’s everything we know about Practical Magic 2 so far:

What will the Practical Magic 2 plot be?

Kidman and Bullock will reprise their roles as sisters Gillian and Sally Owens, respectively. In the original film, which was adapted from the 1995 novel of the same name by Alice Hoffman, the pair learn to harness their supernatural powers to overcome an ancestral curse that leads to several untimely deaths and an inability to have romantic relationships. The sequel picks up years later and includes the next generation of witches.

Who else will be in the Practical Magic 2 cast?

In addition to Kidman and Bullock, Joey King and Maisie Williams play Sally’s daughters. Lee Pace is in the film in an undetermined role. Stockard Channing and Dianne West, who were in the original film, are also returning.

Akiva Goldsman, one of the original film’s writers, penned the screenplay (he also co-wrote one of Kidman’s other campy ’90s classics, Batman Forever). Susanne Bier, who recently worked with Kidman on The Perfect Couple, directed.

Is there a Practical Magic 2 trailer?

The first trailer for the film was released on April 20, and is set to Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut Song.” The clip starts with Bullock’s Sally, who says, “I’m sure you’ve heard of the Owens family: the ones from Massachusetts, the ones their neighbors whisper are witches.” They start chatting with Lee Pace’s character, with Sally telling him, “Everyone we love dies.” Kidman adds: “A really horrible death. It’s not great for the Tinder bio.”

Later, Gillian (Kidman) says, “Everything’s going to be okay.” Sally (Bullock) responds: “Everything’s going to be okay? Just like it was when we had to bury a corpse under a rose bush? That kind of fine, or different?”

Watch below:

How is Lana Del Rey involved?

Del Rey is rumored to be involved in Practical Magic 2 in some capacity. On April 19, she reposted Sandra Bullock’s Instagram story teasing the film’s trailer and adding her own cover of “Season of the Witch” in the background, further fueling the theory.

When is the Practical Magic 2 release date?

Practical Magic 2 has a theatrical release date of September 18, 2026, just in time for Halloween. On May 6, Warner Bros. posted a quick teaser for the film, which featured Kidman and Bullock voicing an incantation ending in the release date: “Tooth of wolf and morning dew. Something old and something new. Let the spell begin to mix. Sept. 18, 2026.”

Method dressing has quickly become the go-to method for dressing stars on press tours—but when a non-press tour occasion arises, what’s an A-lister to do? If you’re Anne Hathaway, you go back to basics on a decidedly luxe note.

While attending the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at Barker Hangar with husband Adam Shulman this weekend, Hathaway wore a sweeping black Ralph Lauren gown. The floor-length piece featured a sharp one-shouldered silhouette, crafted with a large draped ruffle at its neckline. Black satin Aquazzura platform sandals kept her ensemble formal and crisp for the occasion, complete with cutout straps that enhanced her dress’ asymmetry.

Indeed, classic formalwear proved Hathaway’s best route for the “Oscars of Science.” The star’s elegant black dress was a stark departure from her recent dual press tours for The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mother Mary, which have seen her in extravagant looks packed with project-related references. However, Hathaway’s minimalist attire flexed her fashion versatility, proving she wears a simply elevated dress just as effortlessly as rosette-covered mesh, scultpural sequins, confectionary ruffles, and more—a rare talent, indeed.

Even in the most subtly minimalist ensembles, Hathaway and stylist Erin Walsh will always find a way to embrace a burst of glamour. Walsh finished the actress’ look with a thick gold and diamond-covered Bulgari Serpenti cuff, curved diamond-covered earrings, and a matching clutch for a dash of glamour.

Though Hathaway’s red carpet outing proved a break from her aforementioned press tours, her and Walsh have plenty of stylish occasions ahead. Tonight, The Devil Wears Prada 2 will hold its hotly anticipated New York City premiere at Lincoln Center, followed by a final stop in London before its May 1 release. The rest of 2026 will find Hathaway on tours for The Odyssey and The End of Oak Street as well, ensuring plenty of fashion-forward appearances to come.

The official title of this episode is “America My Dream,” but perhaps it should be “Sex Sells.” That old maxim has never been truer than in this moment of the Euphoria universe, where it seems like everyone is either selling, buying, or leveraging flesh—and Sam Levinson has no bones about showing it all.

Alexa Demie fans will be glad to see Maddy get more screen time—this is really her episode. We learn that she got her unglamorous job as an assistant talent manager the old-fashioned way: by marching up to her prospective boss at a diner and demanding she give her a chance. It doesn’t hurt that she’s willing to skewer her competition, telling Ms. Penzler (Rebecca Pidgeon) that, while as a child of immigrants, she didn’t even bother applying to college—let alone attend an entertainment-industry feeder school like USC—but she’s “not entitled, not a victim, not an HR nightmare.” Oh, and she “believes in capitalism.”

She gets the job, but is immediately relegated to smoking weed and doomscrolling in her studio apartment when the pandemic hits. Real-life footage of California Governor Gavin Newsom announcing stay-at-home mandates and civil unrest taking over the streets of L.A. is accompanied by Rue’s narration of young people’s westward migration in search of freedom, fortune, and TikTok fame (a shot of a blonde suburban girl named Katelyn doing the “Say So” dance in a Shein two-piece in front of a ring light is a particularly dystopian callback to the era).

But Maddy is a hustler, and she quickly sees the money-making potential of social media. She starts managing Katelyn on the side, convincing her to push the boundaries further into full-blown nudity. When Maddy ropes her agency client, burgeoning star Dylan Reid (Homer Gere), into her scheme, her boss is furious. She lays into Maddy and forces her to drop Katelyn as a client. Maddy’s argument that there’s a new middle ground where OnlyFans influencers can transition into mainstream careers strikes a particularly knowing chord from Levinson, who cast Chloe Cherry as Faye when she was known for making porn. To Maddy’s chagrin, Katelyn goes on to make more than half a million dollars a month. “If she had listened to her instincts,” Rue narrates, “she wouldn’t be an assistant. She’d actually be successful.”

It’s in this low state that Maddy receives a DM from Cassie—the first time she’s heard from her since their all-out brawl in high school. As she scrolls Cassie’s soft-core page, the wheels start turning.

Rue, meanwhile, has found her own American Dream, which she partially credits with her newfound faith in God. She’s managing one of Alamo’s strip clubs, the Silver Slipper, a seedy roadside joint where old men in cowboy hats watch young women pole dance, mouths stupidly agape (Rosalía makes a cameo as one such dancer in a bedazzled neck brace that she refuses to take off, lest she lose a bogus lawsuit she’s filed. Everyone’s got an angle.)

The club is also unsurprisingly a hotbed for drug use, and selling to the clients becomes part of Rue’s job. There’s a particularly graphic sequence where Angel (Priscilla Delgado), a dancer with an attitude who’s caught Rue’s eye, lets a client sniff powder off her nipples before going down on him, followed by a cut to Rue plunging a disgustingly clogged toilet. If there’s a message here, it isn’t subtle.

Rue ends up doing drugs and hooking up with Angel in her van outside the club, but she narrates that she’d “be lying” if she said she didn’t miss Jules.

Her longing for her first love is tied up in her shame over her continued drug use, as we find out in a flashback sequence. First, we see Rue nodding off in a filthy house with other addicts—“I wasn’t in a good place,” she says. Then Rue visits Jules at art school, but admits it “never quite felt like high school. Too much had happened between us.” A heartbreaking scene shows her leaving a tearful, desperate voicemail begging her mom to call her back so she can come home, promising that she’s sober. But given where Rue is now, it seems like she never did. “To be honest,” Rue narrates, “I haven’t really been sober since.”

Back at the club, Angel can’t let go of the fact that Tish, the stripper who OD’ed in the first episode, is missing. It turns out the two were best friends, and Angel isn’t accepting Alamo’s vague story about Tish running off with some guy. Eventually, Rue just tells her the truth: that Tish died. A devastated Angel descends into her own pit of drug-using despair. Alamo tells Rue he’ll pay for Angel to go to rehab—an offer that seems too good to be true, because it is. When Rue drops Angel off at the nondescript facility, something is clearly wrong. A glowering woman with dirt-crusted nails at the front desk barely looks up from her video game, knows Alamo by name, and says there’s no intake paperwork to be done. Rue reluctantly leaves Angel behind, and there’s an ominous feeling that it’s the last time we’ll be seeing her.

Rue pays Maddy a visit and learns that Jules, too, is in the sex trade—she’s working as a sugar baby, which “isn’t weird at all,” according to Maddy, since “every girl she meets” is one. When Rue points out that Maddy doesn’t have a sugar daddy, she shoots back, “Yeah, I’m not a fucking hooker.”

There are a lot of double standards and mixed messages going on as the women of Euphoria navigate the changing sexual politics of the day. Take Cassie, for example, who is fully embracing her new career on OnlyFans. Despite her insistence that it’s a “common misconception” that OnlyFans is porn, she’s pretty much fully exposing herself for the platform.

“It was a shame she was with Nate,” Rue narrates over a montage of Cassie posing in varying states of kink-themed undress, including with ice cream dripping off her naked breasts and sucking on a pacifier like a baby. For Maddy, “Cassie was exactly the kind of girl you’d dream of signing. Beautiful, but directionless. So desperate for attention, she’s willing to humiliate herself.”

Cassie definitely doesn’t see it that way, though. We finally have the Maddy-Cassie rematch we’ve been waiting for since season two, but it’s more Mean Girls than Rocky. Dressed in a full fur coat and side-swept bangs, Maddy literally takes Cassie’s breath away when she appears at the poolside bar where they end up downing Aperol Spritzes.

First, Cassie—in far more basic white skinny jeans and matching hot pink halter and strappy heels—gets her obligatory apology for stealing Nate out of the way.

“I found the love of my life,” Cassie says somewhat convincingly, “at the expense of the other love of my life.” “It was at that moment,” Rue narrates as Maddy glances down at Cassie’s engagement ring, “that she realized this dumb bitch had waited years for that ring just to clear her conscience.” When it becomes clear that Cassie’s ulterior motive for reaching out to Maddy was to ask her for advice on becoming famous, Maddy decides to play the long game—and turn Cassie into a cash cow—but not without first letting Cassie know in the fake nicest way possible that she’s tacky and has no taste.

Cassie also, apparently, has far less money than she thinks. We soon learn Rue isn’t the only character who has racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to a terrifying criminal. It’s not clear how Nate got into this situation, but to get out of it, he plans to invite more potential investors over to help bail him out. First, his disgraced father, Cal, drops by, though Nate insists he’s doing just fine running Cal’s real estate development company, which he’s taken over.

Cal is more interested in Nate’s personal life, anyway, and immediately starts lecturing his son on the impropriety of Cassie’s OnlyFans—which he heard about, funnily, from a friend at a Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous meeting. Nate pushes back, pointing out his father’s hypocrisy, given that Cal was both constantly cheating on Nate’s mother and found out for sleeping with Nate’s classmates. “Once you give in to temptation, it has no limits,” Cal warns, noting that he’s “speaking from experience.” But what Cassie is doing and what Cal did “are not the same thing,” Nate says. To Cal, it’s the same issue. “I was a hedonist. I was chasing pleasure instead of being grateful for what I had at home.”

Still, Nate brushes him off the same way Cassie brushes off her friend at the party later on. Cassie can’t help but show off her OnlyFans, revealing the pictures her housekeeper took and bragging about all the money she’s making. The friend is particularly horrified by the “adult baby” images, calling them “sick.” But Cassie has a rebuttal: “If I don’t do it, someone else will. It’s just supply and demand.” Word about the OnlyFans spreads quickly at the party, which looks straight out of 2005 Orange County, with guests wearing double-popped collars as they stand around Nate and Cassie’s gaudy McMansion pool. To save face, Nate demands that Cassie delete her OnlyFans account, and when he agrees to pay for her over-the-top wedding, she cheerfully complies.

The episode ends at Jules’s apartment: a swanky penthouse with floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the city. It suggests her alleged sugar-baby arrangement is going quite well, which Rue also clocks. Yes, Rue has shown up unannounced at Jules’s place, but Jules—wearing a body-skimming dress and an icy blonde wig that she eventually takes off—doesn’t seem to mind. Jules mentions her boyfriend, and Rue asks whether he has a family. “I don’t think people are meant to be monogamous,” Jules says. Rue makes a pass at Jules, who tells her, “You can’t just show up after all this time and think everything’s going to be the same.” Still, Jules ends the night by inviting Rue to join her in the bath. Although she’s still missing high school, for now, Rue is living her dream.

“I’ve got to get my Erewhon on,” joked Michael Govan, who downed a green juice from the luxury grocer ahead of LACMA’s press preview of the new David Geffen Galleries on Wednesday morning. “I need my vitamins.”

The LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Center director also confessed that his only exercise as of late is traversing the 110,000-square-foot concrete superstructure erected by Swiss Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor. The marathon project has been in fruition for 20 years, the last six of them in the construction stage. (The new space will open to the public on May 4.) The pair met through Gagosian artist Walter de Maria; Govan traveled to all Zumthor’s other buildings around the world—citing the Kolumba Museum in Cologne, Germany as particularly inspiring—before officially bringing him on.

Govan’s brief to Zumthor was for everything to be on one floor, for the museum to have transparency on all sides, and for there to be no hierarchical structure to the design. Zumthor’s approach of using solid materials—in this case, concrete (“which is very environmentally friendly if it lasts 500 years” Govan added)—blended with the ephemerality of changing light thanks to the inclusion of windows on every side. He was partnered with the engineers at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill for some of the profound engineering elements. Govan listed them off: 56 of the largest space isolators ever made, so the building can move five feet in any direction; and cantilevers that are necessary in this seismic zone. The building can even “jump” if needed. Behind the massive concrete walls, technicians can walk in to adjust the behind-the-scenes fixtures and machinery.

If the purpose of a museum is to see art, art you will see at the Geffen Galleries. Where else can you get thisclose to earthenware from China’s neolithic period? Or the ceramic tiled Henri Matisse that takes up an entire wall? There are over 1,700 works on display, meticulously considered by 45 curators who spent years debating and poring over LACMA’s archives of roughly 150,000 objects. Ultimately, they staged 80 or 90 micro exhibitions within the Geffen Galleries under the broader conceit of exploring trade and movement through oceans like the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific.

In addition to the Geffen Galleries, the space includes an educational center which will feature programming year-round. Still to come are the theater, restaurant, and wine bar that are slated to open in September.

To toast the unveiling, a star-studded crowd turned out on Thursday night for the opening. It felt Oscar-like in its scope: Tom Hanks, Will Ferrell, Ava DuVernay, plus Gabbriette, Paris Hilton, Kim Petras et al. Upon walking in, the first thing Govan did was take a photo of his wife, Katherine Ross, amid a row of Rodins.

Once upstairs, there was Troye Sivan admiring the Francis Bacon triptychs of Lucien Freud, which was acquired by Elaine Wynn for $142.4m in 2014, and were gifted the museum after her untimely passing last year. (Wynn was a board chair for LACMA; Govan recounted how he missed her, but also expressed gratitude for being able to sit with the paintings recently for over an hour.)

Elsewhere, Bette Midler reapplied her lipstick amid Mesoamerican statues. Jeffrey Deitch admired Todd Gray’s Octavia’s Gaze with the artist himself. Dancers from the Seki Foundation acted as the Pied Pipers, ushering hundreds of well-heeled guests into a tent for a Mexican dinner by Gabriela Cámara of Contramar (Govan’s favorite restaurant). The evening raised a record-breaking $11.5 million for the museum. In between courses, nearly all who stepped to the podium (and yes, there was a teleprompter—this is L.A., after all) gave endless thanks to David Geffen, the benefactor who contributed $150 million to bring the LACMA project over the finish line. Despite having his name on the building, his presence caused one person at my table to comment incredulously, “He’s here?! He’s like Howard Hughes!”

Under Demna’s tenure, Gucci has gone back to its unabashedly sexy roots—and it appears Kim Petras has done the same. Last night, the Problématique singer stepped out to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, in one of the definitive designs from Demna’s runway debut collection: an otherwise pared-back black dress that put all its emphasis on a leg slit so high it would make Angelina Jolie blush.

During a gala celebrating the opening of the museum’s David Geffen Galleries, Petras’s ensemble simply featured a floor-length, one-shouldered silhouette with a singular long sleeve. However, the piece’s waist-high slit gave its neutral palette a major shock factor—a regular theme across Petras’ own wardrobe over the years.

From its daring nature, Petras’ outfit showed a new take on the classic black dress that we haven’t seen before. Its bold slit was a stark statement on Gucci’s new aesthetic under Demna, which has leaned the minimalist route while nodding to the house’s sexier side—especially the early 2000’s under Tom Ford. Petras kept her ensemble sophisticated with a pair of black horsebit-topped pumps and a pouch-style clutch with a crystal-embedded chain, creating a monochrome effect.

The musician’s cheeky dress also continued her longtime friendship with Demna, who she frequently supported in his previous role as Balenciaga’s creative director. Though Petras has been known to go the maximalist route on the red carpet, this instance found her taking on minimalism with aplomb while maintaining her own sultry flair. Complete with bangs blunt enough for Elvira Hancock, her Gucci look showed a new side to the star while honoring her ties to one of fashion’s buzziest names.

Petras was one of many stars to wear Gucci during the evening at LACMA, which has been a constant collaborator with the Italian brand over the years. Demna’s designs were also seen on Paris Hilton, Gabbriette, and Nadia Lee Cohen during the occasion, cementing a new era of Gucci on the red carpet—which we’ll also see in just a few weeks at the Met Gala.

The house of Dior is no stranger to a museum show. Over the years, the Brooklyn Museum, V&A in London, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and many more have showcased the artistry of the French fashion brand, with exquisite couture garments also traveling to Paris and Seoul, then back again. Evolving the narrative of a Dior exhibition, or presenting something that a globe-trotting fan hasn’t already experienced in Dallas, Riyadh, or Australia, becomes a hurdle. But Dior: Crafting Fashion, on view now at the SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta, Georgia, handles the task with ease. Using the university environment as a guide, the latest in a long line of unforgettable Dior expositions manages to find a fresh perspective.

Hélène Starkman, the exhibition curator for Christian Dior Couture and the curator of Crafting Fashion, calls the new show “Dior 101.” This is the first time the brand’s gotten the opportunity to showcase within a college setting. “Students are at the heart of this exhibition,” she tells W. While Crafting Fashion is for any style buff lucky enough to find themselves in the Atlanta area, it’s the Savannah College of Art and Design students who drove Starkman’s curatorial decisions.

“Students need to understand that, to be creative, you have to have your own internal mood board,” she adds. “Sometimes, when you’re young, you think creation will come from within.” With Crafting Fashion, Starkman shows these students the need for artists to explore outside their chosen creative bubble.

Crafting Fashion begins with a breakdown of Dior’s eight creative directors, from founder Christian Dior himself to the recently appointed Jonathan Anderson. The first display features just eight garments, one couture look from each director. Each piece was inspired by something outside the world of fashion. A red velvet suit by Dior acts as an homage to Monsieur Dior’s close friendship with artist and illustrator Christian Bérard. A simple black dress with a structured, pleated skirt by Yves Saint Laurent references French New Wave cinema, and a splattered Marc Bohan creation brings to mind the work of Jackson Pollock.

“It’s important to show students that all these designers are museum-goers and theater-goers,” Starkman says. Anyone who is a fan of Anderson’s knows he is continuing that legacy; he championed the Loewe Craft Prize during his time with the Spanish brand, and his first few collections with Dior have proven he is bringing his love of ceramics and classic books to the new gig. A dress from Anderson’s first Dior couture collection—which concludes the opening gallery—was directly inspired by Kenya-born artist Magdalene Odundo, in all its onyx and shapely glory.

The first room represented the kernel of an idea—next comes the process, conveyed through the second gallery, where dreamy designs are boiled down to their most elementary parts. It’s not often one visits a couture exhibition and is faced with mannequins dressed in muslin, but that peek into the process allows Crafting Fashion to stand out from its predecessors. The pieces of fabric stand next to their finished counterparts, scribbled upon and pinned with embellishment prototypes. It’s a reminder (for students, but those with degrees as well) that high fashion does not bloom overnight.

Crafting Fashion isn’t the first exhibition Dior and SCAD have done together. Last year, the fashion house and university worked on Christian Dior: Jardins Rêvés at the school’s Lacoste campus in France. Those unable to make it to Provence, however, can now step into Crafting Fashion’s third gallery, where the focus is on the garden—a major theme for Christian Dior, the son of a fertilizer manufacturer. Dior often looked to florals for inspiration, and his successors frequently returned to the botanical world as well.

Dior fans will recognize many of the garments in this section, like the herbarium dresses from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s first couture collection. An orange floral dress with a strapless bodice and voluminous bubble skirt, meanwhile, is a rarer find. Known as the Mexico dress and created by Saint Laurent, the piece was only recently acquired by Dior and is displayed in Atlanta for the first time.

Also making its museum debut is an orange skirt-and-jacket set, which actor Olivia de Havilland wore to the Atlanta “re-premiere” of Gone With the Wind in 1961. In the final room of the exhibition—the largest one—Georgia history comes into play once again with the inclusion of a Chiuri-designed bar suit homage: Georgia-born actor Elle Fanning wore the look to the Cannes Film Festival in 2019. This last area is dedicated to celebrity dressing, where everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Rihanna is represented in the form of jaw-dropping Dior gowns.

Documents decorate the galleries, providing context, sketches, and a behind-the-scenes for nearly every garment. There is much more paperwork in Crafting Fashion than one will find in other Dior exhibitions (but don’t worry, you won’t be tested on the matieral.) With these inclusions, Starkman hopes to show SCAD students that “designer” isn’t the only job in fashion.

“You can work in the atelier and actually sew the garments,” she says. “You can create accessories, bags, or hats. You can work on the perfume, the makeup, the fashion shows.” Or, you can design exhibitions, and if Crafting Fashion were a SCAD assignment, Starkman would receive an A+.

In fashion, the bohemian days of early 2000s youth culture seem to be a constant reference—which is something Tyla and Zara Larsson know all too well. Both stars have been central to the latest round of Y2K’s fashion revival, so even on fashion ground, it made sense they’d collaborate for Tyla’s track “She Did It Again.” For the accompanying music video, the pair revived a specific side to the style movement: the sexy, boho chic aesthetic loved by pop stars of the era, especially onscreen.

Throughout the clip, both Tyla and Larsson were outfitted in a variety of sultry outfits. In a sunlit canyon, Tyla posed in a white micro-minidress and sparkly lace briefs, accented with a layered anklet. While dancing in a sand-filled room, the singer wore a similarly gauzy off-the-shoulder jumpsuit with daring side cutouts and a high-waisted base, complete with feathered drop earrings. On a moody moonlit beach, both stars were spotted in particularly daring attire—Larsson in a plunging white backless swimsuit, sarong, and frayed arm cuff, and Tyla in a transparent dark blue minidress and scarf-strapped stilettos.

Later in the video, the duo united in glittering gold bikinis and statement pants, a true aughts staple. Tyla’s take on the look included dark stone-washed jeans with a leather belt and gold snake-shaped arm bangle. On the more boho side, Larsson swished in pale tan trousers sliced in numerous thin strips for a cutout effect, complete with dramatic fringe and paired with a metal arm cuff and swirling gold post earrings. Both stars’ bohemian-leaning attire instantly harkened back to similar ensembles worn in the 2000’s by the era’s top stars—especially in their own music videos.

The mix of warm neutral hues seen in Tyla’s video, as well as its undeniably sexy aesthetic, specifically brings to mind Spears’ own “I’m A Slave For U” video. In that iconic clip, Spears memorably danced in a lacy crop top and jeans, followed by a gauzy hot pink top and metallic pants. The same carefree spirit flowed through Tyla and Larsson’s matching swimwear and separates, proving that eye-catching aesthetics can transcend decades.

The duo’s outfits also leaned into the revealing nature of early 2000’s music video dressing amongst pop stars of the era. Shakira’s sparkly bra top and skirt belt from “Hips Don’t Lie,” Beyoncé’s gauzy “Crazy In Love” minidress and hot pants, or Christina Aguilera’s racy “Dirrty” bikini and leather chaps can all be seen as signature to this approach. That same feeling exuded from Tyla and Larsson’s dramatic looks in their own video, reviving the organic, sexy take on performance wear that put the 2000’s on the map as a decade for sultry and carefree style.

Tyla’s made the aesthetic core to her peronal style, stepping out in archival pieces from Roberto Cavalli, Tom Ford-era Gucci, and more—which were also go-to labels for Y2K’s original stars. Meanwhile, Larsson’s vibrant 2000’s fashion is also reminiscent of the decade’s playful side, filled with plenty of glitzy sparkle and vibrant color pairings.

Together, both musicians proved there’s no decade as plentiful as the aughts when it comes to iconic fashion aesthetics. Indeed, as the era’s bohemian revival continues in 2026, this latest union showed the longstanding impact of free-spirited fashion across generations.

Spring gala season began in earnest last night as Tiffany & Co. celebrated the debut of its Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden high jewelry collection. For the occasion, the Park Avenue Armory was transformed into a lush landscape inspired by the gardens at Bunny Mellon’s Oak Springs estate. There, guests including Connor Storrie, Teyana Taylor, Rosé, Greta Lee, Amanda Seyfried, Chase Sui Wonders, Gabrielle Union, and Dwyane Wade—all wearing the jeweler’s latest designs—mingled over cocktails before taking their seats for dinner beneath an ivy-covered arch trellis.

The choice of venue was particularly significant. In 1881, Louis Comfort Tiffany was commissioned to design some of the Armory’s ornate interiors, including the storied Silver Room, making the space the perfect backdrop for the house’s most ambitious high jewelry unveiling. A host of models were on hand wearing the collection, which riffs on the flora and fauna motifs made famous by Jean Schlumberger.

The evening was capped off by a surprise performance by none other than the Elusive Chanteuse herself, Mariah Carey, who sang such hits as “Touch My Body” while Taylor and Rosé sang and danced along in the crowd. Here, a look at the starry New York night.

There’s no better time for head-to-toe glamour than your birthday. Just ask Anya Taylor-Joy, who celebrated her 30th in fantastical fashion. The star chose a sleeveless archival Rodarte dress for the occasion, featuring a sheer nude base embellished with gleaming silver sequins, intricate beadwork, and trails of white leaves for a sprinkle of magical fairy enchantment.

The pièce de résistance of her look came from a white orchid boa, a custom design from stylist Genesis Webb and Ryder McLaughlin. With its budding pink centers and green stems, the boa enhanced her ensemble’s fantasy aesthetics as if crafted deep within an enchanted forest. Webb finished Taylor-Joy’s blossoming birthday outfit with a sparkling diamond pendant necklace and earrings from Tiffany & Co., which added a hint of formality without distracting from the flowers’ artisanal statement.

Taylor-Joy’s look was complete with a pair of open-toed sandals, also an archive Rodarte style. Its curved heels and ankle straps appeared similar to tango shoes, with a dramatic touch provided by swirling metallic silver panels and glistening crystals. The sparkly set’s detailing finished Taylor-Joy’s attire with a burst of showgirl glamour, perfect for dancing the night away—and, as shared in her birthday post, enjoying a cigarette by the pool.

During her 30th festivities, Taylor-Joy leaned into the darker side of Aries season. The actress toasted her new decade with a rams’ head-shaped cake, which she cut with a gleaming silver dagger. With guests outfitted in gauzy dresses, dark suiting, and flower crowns, the occasion only enhanced the magical, moody nature of Taylor-Joy’s translucent dress—which also made her the latest to take the “naked” dress out for a spin.

Taylor-Joy’s Rodarte moment also provided a brought a moment of levity for the star. Recently, she’s had a whirlwind spring from her press tour for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which included standout regal looks by Dior, Jacquemus, and Givenchy. Her latest campaigns for both Dior Beauty and Tiffany & Co. also ensured an especially fashion-forward season. However, the coming weeks are set to take a darker turn with her upcoming releases Dune: Part Three and Lucky—and there’s sure to be plenty of on-theme fashion to follow.

There are plenty of celebrity brides at the moment. Dua Lipa, Zendaya, Taylor Swift could all be donning that big white gown at any second as they walk down the aisle to say, “I do.” But do these women (or anyone with a diamond ring recently placed on their finger) have a Monopoly on the white garment? Rosé says, “Absolutely not.” She may not be planning her upcoming nuptials (as far as we know), but she can enjoy an ivory, cream, or eggshell look as much as the next girl.

On Thursday night, she proved as much at Tiffany and Co.’s launch of the Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden collection, held at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. The K-Pop star attended the event in a dress from Khaite’s fall/winter 2026 collection. Rendered in all-white aside from a black bow at the waist, the look features an airy, lace camisole top, anchored by a heavier, draped skirt. Rosé paired the design with some white, razor-sharp stilettos and, of course, Tiffany & Co. jewels.

Rosé was joined by a slew of other celebrities also decked out in Tiffany’s finest, including Amanda Seyfried, Gabrielle Union, Chase Sui Wonders, and Greta Lee. The five women posed for the cameras before Rosé headed inside. It was there that she met up with some of her white-adorned compatriots: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Connor Storie.

To be fair, Storrie’s Calvin Klein Collection suit leans more toward a very light yellow, but Huntington-Whiteley’s column dress from The New Arrivals is undoubtedly white. In fact, the two women looked a bit like they were filming a reboot of Bride Wars when standing side-by-side. In reality, though, there’s clearly no bad blood between Rosé/ie, and Huntington-Whiteley even took the opportunity to introduce Rosé to Storrie before the three posed for a picture, and stans around the world let out a collective cheer.

These days, hardly a major fashion week goes by without Anne Hathaway sitting front row. The actor has become a fashion staple, sitting next to Anna Wintour while taking in the latest Michael Kors or chatting with Blackpink’s Lisa at Bulgari’s high jewelry collection. But that wasn’t always the case.

When Hathaway first hit the scene after starring in The Princess Diaries back in 2001, she was walking red carpets in dresses layered over jeans and short-sleeve button-downs with ties—looks so stereotypically Y2K, they’re not getting re-created now, even with the aughts style resurgence. A quick bond with Valentino Garavani changed all that, however, and Hathaway quickly became a Valentino girl (a title she still holds to this day), wearing gorgeous gowns on every red carpet she stepped on. The actor has never been afraid of a little embellishment, and it’s rare to see her in a look without at least a hint of sparkle, meaning she always stands out among the sea of stars at every event. Now, Hathway is as busy as ever as she promotes the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada alongside Meryl Streep (and often Wintour, as well). Of course, that means she has to step up her fashion game, though if anyone is up to the challenge, it’s Hathaway. As we wait to see what she will wear next on this global fashion tour, let’s take a look back at 25 years of the actor’s style, from her days as the Princess of Genovia to now.

A New York City heatwave in April is the perfect chance to debut your summer style. For Aubrey Plaza, it was also something of the perfect oppurtunity to debut her maternity style as well. Arriving at ABC Studios to appear on The View, Plaza slipped on a blue Celine sweater vest, opting for a larger size to cleverly wear as a minidress.

The sleeveless knit, which featured the French brand’s white Triomphe logo at its neckline, was nonchcalantly paired with rounded sunglasses and small silver hoop earrings. DeMellier’s (fittingly) named New York shoulder bag, a smooth East-West style in white leather, added a stark complement to Plaza’s attire.

Plaza’s preppy attire was grounded by a pair of white leather Santoni penny loafers. The slip-on style expertly coordinated with her look’s white accents, while its whipstitched trim added a hint of vintage-inspired texture. Plaza’s repurposed knitwear and neutral accents both aligned with her quirky, yet streamlined approach to dressing, continuing the ethos that personal style can be a wardrobe priority even while expecting.

Before her View appearance, Plaza made headlines last week after announcing her pregnancy on Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes’ “SmartLess” podcast. The star is expecting her first child with boyfriend, her Black Bear co-star Christopher Abbott. Simultaneously, she’s returned to the public eye while promoting her new role in Prime Video’s animated comedy series Kevin.

The riskiest time for our skin may not be when you expect. Yes, winter—with dryness from central heat and harsh, windy conditions—can be rough. But so can the transition into spring and summer as humidity rises, sebaceous glands become more active, and the sun shines into the evening. Pores clog and heavy creams congest. UV exposure rises. There is a lot to look out for, enough to consult a true expert.

Enter Fabricio Ormonde, the New York–based Brazilian aesthetician responsible for the luminous glows of Julianne Moore, Dua Lipa, Margot Robbie, and supermodels like Vittoria Ceretti, Gigi Hadid, and Irina Shayk. His facials are grounded in progressive, individually tailored care instead of intensive treatments and surgical interventions. “Working in doctors’ offices, everything is aggressive, aggressive, aggressive,” Ormonde told W from his serene Chelsea studio. “I started realizing that you don’t need to hurt the skin to get results. That was a big shift for me. What I realized was: My clients were happier, and they look better.”

This gentle, strategic approach is holistic at heart, taking environmental shifts into account with just as much sensitivity as skin type, lifestyle, and other individualized factors. Below, Ormonde shares his top tricks, recommendations, and secrets for this transitional season.

What’s your skin philosophy?

I have my pillars of skin health: [skin should be] hydrated, balanced, reflect light naturally, clear, even textured, and toned and sculpted. This is what I focus on—it’s possible to achieve with treatments and skincare. Nothing happens overnight. Skin thrives on consistency. This is the first thing I want the clients to understand: How you treat your skin every day is as important as what happens in the treatment room.

I give the analogy of your workout and your diet. You go to the gym, you work out to build muscle and stay lean, but you also need to eat healthy. Nothing’s going to happen if you go to the gym and you’re only eating junk food. Same thing with the skin. What we do here is the workout, the products are your diet.

I’m a big believer in supplements and lifestyle changes. If it’s needed, reduce stress, sleep more. There is a lot of noise about what we should be doing. It’s overwhelming. I don’t believe in 12-step skincare routines.

What should people prioritize as spring arrives? What changes would you recommend we make to our routines?

In the winter, it’s all about protecting the barrier from cold, dry conditions and indoor heat. In the spring, the focus shifts to rebalancing the skin from the winter. Think about gentle exfoliation, hydration, feeding your skin with antioxidants and protection. Sun protection is non-negotiable this time of the year. Take away the heavier moisturizers, because they start feeling occlusive. Use lightweight moisturizers, hydrating serums, antioxidant serums, or even gel-like moisturizers. My summer favorite is the new Creme M.E.C. from Biologique Recherche. It focuses on skin density, but it’s between a gel and a cream. And it has all the skin rejuvenation benefits.

Biologique Recherche Crème M.E.C.

What else is important?

Consistent, gentle exfoliation. You want to exfoliate your skin, but less [than in winter]. Lastly, think of enzymes. There is a product I love with gluconolactone and prickly pear,—the Medik8 Press and Glow. It’s a toner with PHA, it gives a minor exfoliation but is very hydrating and gives you a nice glow. I use it twice a week. It won’t make your skin too photosensitive.

Medik8 Press and Glow Exfoliating PHA Tonic

Do you have a favorite sunscreen?

ReVive’s Soleil Superiéur Broad Spectrum SPF 50. It doesn’t feel like sunscreen; it has the best texture.

RéVive Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen

What else should we be looking out for?

Pay attention to any imbalance, like breakouts, dehydration, and sensitivity. Adjust the skincare accordingly, if needed. I’ll add a vitamin C serum for antioxidant protection or an antioxidant serum, because it protects your skin from the elements and also enhances sun protection when you put on sunscreen. And vitamin C is brightening, so it’ll even out the skin tone. Use gentle cleansers: nothing stripping, nothing exfoliating. Overexfoliating can lead to hyperpigmentation.

When it comes to moisturizing, there are some hydrating serums with peptides, which I’m a big fan of. For spring, I like to focus on monthly facials. The focus is on hydration, balancing the skin, and lifting and sculpting—my signature.

Is there anything we should skip?

Aggressive treatments will increase sensitivity and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Spring/summer is not the time to do anything aggressive. Now, prioritize lifestyle and hydration—not just water, but eating watery fruit and vegetables. And lean protein for the health of your muscles (it’s also great for sleep and stress management).

What about tricks or secrets?

When you use an SPF, use an antioxidant range serum. My favorite is IS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum. It’s good for sensitive skin.

iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance+

Are there any innovations you would recommend?

I’m a big fan of peptides—chains of proteins that tell cells to function in a certain way. Something I’ve been doing for a very long time is combination therapies, using different technologies. I’m seeing more and more people leaning toward that. You get better results.

Is there anything people usually forget?

Lip treatment. Rhode is great—I think they actually make the best.

Rhode Peptide Lip Boost

Any other products you’d like to shout out for this time of year?

Environ C-Quence Serum. It is a retinoid serum with an encapsulated form of vitamin A that converts to retinoic acid inside the skin. It also has peptides to stimulate collagen and tons of antioxidants; it’s a complete treatment. Skinceuticals’s P-TIOX is very hydrating. And La Roche Posay’s Hyalu B5 is a combination of hyaluronic acid with B5, which is soothing and moisturizing.

No one makes avant-garde statements with a fashionable edge quite like Doechii. The Grammy Award-winning musician’s known for her sleek, bold ensembles from the leading designers of the moment—a streak that she continued at The Daily Front Row’s Fashion Los Angeles Awards.

While hitting the red carpet, Doechii spread her sartorial wings in a slick ensemble from Dilara Findikoglu. Her look included a sheer black skirt with central ruching, given a Findikoglu flair with dark, gleaming beadwork, fringe, and glossy crystals. However, thegreatest statement came from her high-necked top with a large central cutout, crafted from green, blue, and brown-tinted peacock feathers.

Stylist Sam Woolf helped bring Docehii’s ensemble subtle bohemian touches with small silver stud earrings and a stack of thin metal bangles. Brown satin sandals smoothly finished her look with a dash of streamlined, red carpet-ready glamour.

During the event, Doechii supported Woolf by presenting him with the ceremony’s Breakthrough Music Stylist of the Year award. The pair have become a dynamic duo to watch since they first started working together in 2023, spotlighting subversive takes on aesthetics from punk to prep. Doechii’s star in the fashion world has since risen with standout appearances in Valentino Haute Couture, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and more—and who could forget her viral Thom Browne-clad performance at last year’s Grammy Awards?

“Thank you endlessly to my muse that is the one and only @doechii for your unwavering support, love and recognition,” Woolf shared in a celebratory Instagram post, hinting at more future fashionable moments. “Someone who empowers, and pushes me, takes risks, and is unapologetically herself. Doe has always been a star from the moment I met her. The world just needed to catch up. I love you and I can’t wait to do more.”

How has April been for you so far? Are you feeling the heat? How about the fierce and fiery influence of Aries, thrusting you forward to new adventures and exciting challenges? Aries is the warrior spirit, after all, and this month has been filled with opportunities to step into your own confidence. The Aries new moon, taking place on April 17, is no exception.

Aries is the cardinal fire sign, bearing lots of initiator energy. This is the song keeping you going for one more round in the gym (my personal favorite: “Midnight Sun” by Zara Larsson). This is the Kool-Aid man bursting through a wall kind of energy. It’s a push to go forward without hesitation.

But there might be questions swirling around your head at the moment. Where am I? Where am I heading? How am I supposed to thrive amid the chaos? They’re all fair questions—and thankfully, the stars have answers.

We are currently in an era of conflict. Big heads with big influence are mucking things up, and making the mundane miserable. However, that doesn’t mean we have to be stuck here. There’s always a lesson from Aries season about choosing your battles, owning what is yours (even if it’s unflattering) and not letting the past hold you back.

New moons are new beginnings, plain and simple. This is the time to take steps toward a fresh, freeing, and more fabulous life. Finding the confidence to do so is the hard part. What’s a diva to do in a world where everything is measured by metrics: how much money you make, how many followers you have, how many friends show up to your birthday party, etc....

Screw that. Make your own metrics. Aries are, at their best, completely unbothered by what others think. Ideally, the Aries new moon will transform that competitive nature to become less about one-upping everyone else and more about rising to the standards we set for ourselves—and celebrating those who are able to overcome their own hurdles. This new moon is a reminder that, at the end of the day, the only person who is really holding you back is yourself.

Mars, the ruler of this new moon, has been stuck in Pisces for a while. That’s why you’re most likely rolling your eyes as you read this, thinking, “easier said than done.” Still, Mars moved into Aries a few days before this new moon—now that you’ve hibernated through a Pisces transit, are you ready to get things off to the races?

It’s going to be hard work. This is just the beginning of a marathon, but think about how great you will feel once you reach the finish line. That said, let’s be careful we don’t get too exuberant with our pacing. The rush of adrenaline before the race could have you pushing things too early, and depleted before you know it. The lesson here: have a plan in place before you start running.

As you move through this new moon, remember that Aries wants forward momentum. It doesn’t care about making mistakes, scraped knees, or running into bigger challenges down the road. Aries is fixated on how to progress in the present moment. If you know where you want to go, keep asking yourself: what can I do right now to help me get another step further? If you don’t know where you’re heading, start with what excites you—then read your rising sign horoscope below for extra insight.

Aries

This is your new moon! Think of it as a fresh start for yourself: who are you becoming? Perhaps now might be a good time to make sure your outer self reflects your inner self. Is there something you’ve realized about yourself over the past month that has caused you to spend more time wishing you were just letting it rip? Pay attention to patching up wounds to your ego; you might need to go through old diaries and the hallways of your mind to affirm how far you’ve come. Don’t rush your personal development, make sure you’re appreciative of how every step you’ve taken has shaped you.

Taurus

Which dream are you ready to pursue? Is there something coming to an end that is allowing you the time to put more effort into what you’ve been yearning after for so long? This new moon, though fiery, is slow—like losing track of time while gazing into the flames of a bonfire. Your subconscious is lit up at the moment, helping nudge you toward that pie-in-the-sky vision you have for yourself. You might also be realizing that it’s time to kick some toxic traits getting in the way of your forward momentum. Try something new: the intention can stay the same, but the execution could use a refresher so you don’t keep cycling through experiences over and over.

Gemini

Gemini, this Aries new moon has the potential to bring you closer to people who will shock your system (in a positive way!) and inspire you. The main question to ask is: “How is your community motivating you?” Are you finding that you’re surrounded by like-minded individuals who help keep your mind clear of negativity and encourage you to keep exploring? That said, it’s important that you are heading toward your goals with a clear and focused perspective, and not bounding around haphazardly. This doesn’t mean you should stop dabbling, just don’t let the new and shiny distract you. Try something risky—a leap of faith could serve you well right now.

Cancer

You might be feeling like it’s about high time you got your flowers. When is my moment to shine, to take up space, and to thank the Academy? Well, it’s now. You just need to figure out what it is you’d like to be recognized for. The Aries new moon is a highly positive one for you, especially if you are hoping to shift your career, cement yourself as an authority, or simply take on a more serious role in how the world sees you. No one else will sing your praises if you don’t put in the effort to be seen. But make sure you are recognizing the hard work you’ve been putting in, and not relying solely on someone else’s cheers.

Leo

New journeys are coming your way with the new moon. You might find that the world has been racing around you at 100 miles a minute (or even faster): constant twists and turns, nonstop movement from one place to the next. If you’re tired, you can sleep when you’re dead. All clichés aside, Aries energy is coming to open up your perspective. What have you learned about yourself and the world around you as you’ve been thrust from place to place? How far does the horizon stretch? The answer to that is how far your influence can reach, and how much potential there is for you to grow.

Virgo

Virgo, the Aries new moon is coming in like a 2014 pop anthem to help you “Break Free.” The universe has the majority of this month sending messages about your shadow self, doing deep psychological work, and considering the influence of others’ values on your way of life. If you haven’t already, this is a great time to establish some accountability practices. This will be an interesting moment for shared things—developing a new relationship with your worth as it relates to what others want will do you good. Don’t carry unnecessary baggage into this next phase of life.

Libra

The Aries new moon is the spark that lights the match on your relationships. And that match will either burn them to the ground, or help nurse the flames of a budding connection. Aries can be a bit conflict-prone, while you, dear Libra, would rather mediate (or avoid) the tension. So, are your relationships harmonious? Do you have clear boundaries in place? Are you waiting for a knight in shining armor to fight your battles for you, or will you step into your Joan of Arc era? Focus on values of others and how they might be influencing you. Harmony is something worth fighting for.

Scorpio

That warm spring air is blowing—and the breeze is helping clear the dust that’s settled on your life these past few months. The Aries new moon is a fresh start with your health, routines, work, and daily life. Perhaps you are starting a new job, or even setting the intention to find a position that is more in-tune with what you need. There might be a moment or two leading up to the new moon where you look in the mirror and think… wait, am I the problem? Daily, tangible, sustainable actions are the solution. Focus on hard work that challenges you to do something new, so you don’t fall back into the same-old cycle.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius! It is getting hot, hot, hot! Although the summer sun has not quite come up, the Aries new moon is lighting a fire in your heart. Start going after what you desire, and what will heal that inner child who wants to do it all. Starting new creative endeavors and hobbies will act as your canvas. The muse will come through a potential new romantic connection (or experience). Who knows, these creative pursuits could turn into financial pursuits as well. What a fabulous time to be reminded of the healing powers of play!

Capricorn

Emotions are heating up, and the Aries new moon is screaming through a megaphone like Glee’s Sue Sylvester, urging you to get it together. There may be conflict at home, something weighing on your heart, or an old emotional wound keeping you from slowing down. The Aries season push to go, go, go, is actually a call from the universe to go home. Deal with the tension, the pain, and the hurt. You can’t push it down—it’s time to face it head-on. Building a strong foundation to support all your external endeavors starts with the inner work, and it starts during this new moon.

Aquarius

Aquarius, the new moon is here to wake it up! Your mind is going to be racing with new ideas, plans, and perspectives on how you can speak your truth and move through the world with confidence. This is a great time to get into new forms of mental stimulation—something simple but exciting that adds a few more wrinkles to your brain. This could be an educational experience, light reading, or even tinkering with a new tool that will refine your skills. Ask yourself: what new resources do I need to support my own long-term stability?

Pisces

Oooooh Pisces, baby, this is a good one for you! It’s high time to put what you value at the forefront of your priorities list. This means auditing your resources (perhaps even a budget tracker is in order) and making sure what you put out aligns with what you want to bring in. Standing ten toes down and not letting someone else’s needs or wants sway what you invest your resources into is the lesson of the moment. Yes, it’s a confusing time, especially when it comes to making your desires a reality, but the good news is if you chip away at it consistently, you’ll have nothing to worry about.

Many people approach minimalist fashion with a strictly “naturals only” color palette policy. From Michaela Coel to Anne Hathaway, both adapters and champions of the style movement have opted to mix shades like black, white, and gray together with elevated hints of texture. However, as Carey Mulligan proved at Beef’s latest season 2 red carpet in New York City, a lack of maximalism doesn’t equal a lack of color.

Mulligan arrived to the Netflix drama’s screening at Regal Union Square in a monochrome orange ensemble from Colleen Allen’s fall 2026 collection. Her look, styled by minimalist maestro Danielle Goldberg, featured a long-sleeve velvet shirt with gathered trim and a maxi-length silk slip skirt. Both pieces’ rich textures gave the surprisingly warm, bright color a luxe feel, further elevated with a simple pair of gleaming diamond stud earrings.

The orange hues of Mulligan’s ensemble proved especially surprising, as the actor often opts for head-to-toe neutrals or single-tone ensembles. However, the stark, smooth finishes of both her top and bottom still aligned with her nonchalant flavor of minimalist red carpet style. Indeed, it showed a progression in her previous ventures in colorful fashion over the years, which has ranged from a hint of Schiaparelli’s shocking pink to shimmering yellow-gold Valentino.

Mulligan’s outing was her latest appearance for Beef, in which she stars as Lindsay Crane-Martin, a troubled interior designer and wife to Oscar Isaac’s antagonistic country club manager Josh. Charles Melton, Cailee Spaeny, Youn Yuh-jung, and Seoyeon Jang round out the cast of the show’s second season, which is now streaming.

The star’s orange ensemble also continued her recent trajectory of modern, textural dressing during Beef’s press tour, including blossoming Dries Van Noten by Julien Klausner. It remains to be seen if the shift in vibrance will continue, but Mulligan is always one to make a standout appearance on the red carpet.

Lee Sung Jin was on a mission. During a dinner party thrown by Gold House, an organization that champions Asian American excellence, the director—who also goes by Sonny—asked to be seated next to one Charles Melton. Fresh off the Emmy-sweeping success of 2023’s Beef, the surprise Netflix hit he created starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as road-raging strangers locked in a karmic cycle of mutual destruction, Lee was determined to pitch the Riverdale heartthrob on joining the second season of the anthology series. The soirée was held in honor of Melton’s role in Todd Haynes’s 2023 drama May December and like many in attendance, Sonny had been enamored by the actor’s performance.

“[Sonny] showed me a picture on his phone,” Melton recalls to W of the evening. “He was like, ‘This is our writers’ room.’ And it was a picture of me. I was like, ‘Does the character have my hairstyle or something?’ He goes, ‘No, we’re writing it for you.’”

It turns out Melton would be writing it, too—at least, in the form of long conversations during which he and Sonny, who both lived in Korea for several years as children (Melton was an army brat who has lived all over the U.S. and the world), reflected on the Korean American experience. “It was the genesis of a constant collaboration: of spilling the tea behind personal experiences and existential thoughts about life,” he adds.

Even over the phone, Melton is preternaturally affable—the platonic ideal of a mellow American dude. He’ll go deep on an idea, like drawing upon Carl Jung and the shadow self to inform his character-building, and then he’ll laugh at himself good-naturedly. It’s not hard to draw comparisons between Melton and his Beef character, Austin Davis—a former college athlete turned aspiring personal trainer and influencer, whose dreamy relationship with fiancée Ashley (Cailee Spaeny) is tested for the first time when they start working together at a country club. Austin is both the season’s central comedic relief and its most unabashedly decorative element, a role that required Melton, a former Kansas State football player who famously gained weight for May December, to get back to his athletic roots.

Since this is Beef, conflict drives the story, though season two is more about passive aggression. That plays out especially across generational lines: Carey Mulligan and Oscar Isaac play a burnt-out Millennial couple on the verge of divorce who go to war with Davis and Spaeny, the naive Gen Z-ers, over an unflattering video being used as blackmail.

Below, Melton tells W about Beef, identifying as a Zillennial, and the joys of fatherhood:

You helped create the character of Austin—you even have an executive producer credit. How much of yourself did you put into him?

There’s that scene at the Chinese Bamboo house restaurant, and Eunice [played by Seoyeon Jang] asks Austin if he’s spent much time with the Korean community. He goes, “We went to a church, but everyone thought I was Mexican.” [Laughs] Like, people have thought I was Mexican. That was one blip of hundreds of hours of conversations with Sonny that he found a way to incorporate. When Ashley says, “I’ve never seen us as a mixed race couple. He’s always been Arizonian to me,” you know? It was all drawn from these conversations about what it was like living in Korea, and then America, and the cost of assimilation and the construct of capitalism.

The whole show is about conflict. At first, it’s Millennials vs. Gen Z. Did that generational divide show up on set at all?

I’m a Millennial, but I consider myself—I heard this term yesterday—a Zillennial, both Millennial and Gen Z. There were a lot of conversations [on set], and there was a lot of improv. The humor in Beef is reminiscent of Korean cinema. When you think about No Other Choice by Park Chan Wook or Bong Joon Ho’s Memories of Murder, they’re funny, and the circumstances are either so absurd or just intense. I’ll just call it this “Korean levity,” that’s reminiscent of the Coen brothers or Paul Thomas Anderson.

You and your partner, Camille Summers Valli, just had a daughter; Austin is newly engaged and heading toward fatherhood. Did being a new dad influence the way you approached him at all?

With Austin, there are a lot of things about him that I understand. There are a lot of personal things I dream and hope for, and sometimes not all the puzzle pieces are there. But sometimes they do come together, and now I have my partner and my daughter, who are the best things in the world.

You have a lot coming up as an actor—Love Child with Elizabeth Olsen, and Her Private Hell by Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn. What quality do the projects you’re gravitating towards right now share?

I go filmmaker first, and then I read the material, and then, like, I want to know who the cinematographer is. And obviously, my scene partners. The last thing I finished was Saturn Return with Greg Kwedar. That’s my brother right there—I’m very excited for that film. I got to work with one of my best friends, Will Poulter, and Rachel Brosnahan. We filmed in Chicago and had such a special time.

There comes a time in every great designer’s career when they receive a cinematic portrait—a polished origin story rendered for the screen. These films tend to fall into two familiar styles: the scripted biopic, à la Coco Before Chanel, or the documentary, built from fly-on-the-wall observation, archival material, and interviews, as seen in Valentino: The Last Emperor. Even when designers enlist leading auteurs—from Martin Scorsese’s portrait of Giorgio Armani to Sofia Coppola’s recent study of Marc Jacobs—the genre has largely remained rooted in retrospective storytelling. But for Brunello Cucinelli, a conventional approach wouldn’t suffice. To tell his life story, he turned to Giuseppe Tornatore, the Academy Award–winning director of Cinema Paradiso, who created an ambitious, experimental work that blurs the line between documentary and dramatization.

On Tuesday, April 14, guests including Naomi Watts, Oscar Isaac, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, and Martha Stewart gathered at Lincoln Center for a black-tie gala screening of the film Brunello: The Gracious Visionary ahead of its U.S. release this July. Following opening remarks from Cucinelli himself—delivered in his native Italian so he could “speak from the heart”—the lights dimmed and the audience was transported to the vineyards surrounding Solomeo, the medieval hamlet in the hills of Umbria that serves as both home and headquarters to the king of cashmere.

A quick succession of interviews with family members, friends, longtime employees, and clients like Oprah and Patrick Dempsey, along with local clergymen, set the tone for Cucinelli’s mythmaking, outlining his impact far beyond the fashion world. At the heart of the whole endeavor is Cucinelli’s emphasis on the immortality of the soul and his broader vision of “humanistic capitalism,” defined by above-market wages, welcoming work environments, and a commitment to putting people first. It’s a philosophy that led him to dedicate 20 percent of the house’s profits to charitable causes and has guided his decades of lovingly restoring Solomeo into not just a company town but a cultural center with a world-class theater, park, and his latest project, a library with half a million books open to anyone who visits.

The story unfolds in picturesque scenes with Cucinelli tracing the chapters of his life, serving as a narrator, character, and observer of his own tale—almost untethered from time. It begins in the countryside outside of Perugia where we see Cucinelli as he is today, walking alongside his childhood self who runs among chickens and ducks and scoffs at the stink of the cowshed over which their home was built. His family of tenant farmers work diligently, pushing wheelbarrows and carrying milk churns. Breaking the fourth wall, the 72-year-old designer addresses viewers directly, welcoming them into the remote farmstead that has neither electricity nor indoor plumbing. The location is no movie magic—it’s the very house where he lived with his parents, two brothers, and eight other family members until the age of 14; he bought the property while filming for full verisimilitude.

Cucinelli has covered some of the same personal history in his 2018 memoir-cum–philosophical treatise, The Dream of Solomeo: My Life and the Idea of Humanistic Capitalism, but he describes a need to immortalize it in another medium. “I have always believed that every story has more than one life,” he says. “With film, I could show—not only tell—the dignity of work, the beauty of our land, the rhythm of life in Solomeo. There are emotions that cannot be written, only felt through an image or a gesture.” Indeed, audiences watch as his aesthetics and ethics take shape during his youth: his father teaching him to plow in a straight line with a pair of cows, the furrows kept precise as much for beauty as for function, and the family brushing angora rabbits with quiet care. A pair of loathsome green corduroy pants his mother gave him as a teenager would lead him to ban the color from all of his collections to this very day. (His design team instead refers to shades of “sage” and “American khaki,” but never “green.”)

A particularly formative episode comes after the family’s move in the late 1960s to the industrial outskirts of Perugia. There, Cucinelli’s father takes a job at a cement factory and is seen struggling with the strain of daily humiliations. The moment leaves a lasting impression on the young Cucinelli and shapes a lasting affinity for Italian neorealist film and its humanist lens. “I have always felt close to directors who tell human stories with delicacy and respect,” he says. “Federico Fellini, for his dreamlike poetry, and Vittorio De Sica, for his deep humanity, have touched me profoundly. Their films remind us that even the simplest lives contain extraordinary dignity.” It was that same sensibility that drew him to Tornatore, whose stories are often rooted in working-class Sicily. “His relationship with his native land reminded me of my own bond with Solomeo,” Cucinelli says. “We both believe that beauty and memory can guide human actions.”

Cucinelli is played at different ages by three actors: first-time performers Francesco Cannevale and Francesco Ferroni, both from Umbria, and Saul Nanni. The shifting cast allows the film to settle into a more selective, idealised register of memory, rendering episodes as cinematic set pieces, including Cucinelli’s reprobate youth as a teenage card sharp and a courtship vignette in which he appears as a kind of romantic hero, riding a motorcycle behind a bus carrying his future wife, Federica Benda (Emma Fatone), his luscious locks blowing in the wind. The effect is a form of self-mythologization, in which biography is reordered as emotional resonance rather than chronology. “Life itself is not linear,” Cucinelli says. “I think Maestro Tornatore wanted the film to reflect this. The documentary elements ground the story in reality, in testimony, in lived experience. The more narrative moments allow space for imagination, for poetry. Together, they create something closer to memory itself—where fact and feeling coexist.”

Following the screening, guests tucked into a dinner of rigatoni alla pomodoro—Cucinelli’s favorite—as conversation turned to the designer’s final message in the film. While he knows his legacy will forever be tied to the cashmere empire he built, what he ultimately hopes will be inscribed on his tombstone is simple: that he was a good man. A notable ambition at a time when goodness—especially among the billionaire class—can feel in short supply.

It seems nobody’s having more fun playing with style right now than Anne Hathaway. While pulling double duty to promote her upcoming fashion-themed films The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mother Mary, the Oscar winner’s worn everything from sequins to ruffles and a ghostly avant-garde gown. That streak kicked into high gear this week as she continued promoting design-centric thriller Mother Mary, complete with two gothic takes on sheer “naked” dressing.

This morning, Hathaway stepped out in New York City in a gauzy long-sleeved Dolce & Gabbana top and trousers beneath a cool gray Sacai coat. Her sleeveless outerwear was cinched by double-breasted black buttons, while a black satin collar provided an elegant finish. Stylist Erin Walsh accented the actress’s look with a smooth black East-West shoulder bag from chic British label DeMellier, plus glossy Oliver Peoples shield sunglasses. A bejeweled Bulgari collar necklace and gold bracelet provided a touch of glamour, as well as glossy platform pumps from Versace’s fall 2022 collection—a surprising shoe choice that gave Hathaway’s look a daring edge.

However, this wasn’t the star’s only dark outfit that highlighted see-through textures reminiscent of the sultry “naked dress.” The night before, Hathaway was out and about in a knit mesh Calvin Klein Collection dress covered in soft rosettes. Designed by recently appointed creative director Veronica Leoni, her floor-length piece was strategically worn over a black bra and briefs, plus a silky Valentino blazer as an outer layer. Walsh used the same Peoples glasses, a small black Longchamp Le Roseau bag, and patent pumps from Dolce & Gabbana as clean accents for the daring piece.

Though both of Hathaway’s looks made use of different layered pieces, they were united by a dark color palette with glistening accents. Each is the latest entry in the revived 2026 trend of “naked” dressing, which uses transparent textures and fabrics to spotlight body autonomy and confidence. Clearly, Hathaway is in full control of the new fashion foray—and loving every second of it.

Hathaway’s statement-making looks are often a surprise, but one thing’s for certain. With one more Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere and a turn in The Odyssey around the corner, she’ll certainly continue delivering stylish statements well into summer.
