THE BAG After collaborating with the New York Yankees for fall 2018, Alessandro Michele cast his focus on the West Coast for cruise 2019—specifically, L.A.’s Chateau Marmont. The iconic sign for the legendary hotel and gathering spot for A-listers popped up on sweatshirts and Gucci’s classic Jackie bag, the ideal carryall for not-so-prim ladies who lunch. THE WATCH The daisy has been a mainstay in the Van Cleef & Arpels floral repertoire since the 1920s (Elizabeth Taylor was a fan). New to the storied bouquet: the Marguerite Secrète timepiece, featuring diamond petals, articulated just like the real thing. THE BOOT Pragmatic but playful: Pierpaolo Piccioli’s take on the cowboy boot comes cropped and covered with romantic floral appliqués to soften a tough-girl ensemble.…

“The first time I saw a Coromandel screen, I cried out: ‘It’s so beautiful!’” Coco Chanel once said. The designer eventually collected more than 30 examples of the ornate lacquered Chinese folding screens and drew inspiration from their imagery. This season, the screens’ flora and fauna motifs find their way into Chanel’s 59-piece Coromandel fine-jewelry collection. The pièce de résistance: the Fleur de Laque necklace, which features lacquer segments suspended from that other Chanel signature, a string of pearls.…

RACHEL GOODWIN, Emma Stone’s go-to makeup artist “I love how easy it is to swipe on Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioner in Crimson & Clover ($28). It’s not opaque, so it’s very forgiving and wears off into a stain.” VIOLETTE, Estée Lauder global beauty director who has done bold lip looks for Léa Seydoux and Joan Smalls “I’m completely obsessed with Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Paint-On LipColor in Quiet Riot ($28). You can blend it with your finger and wear it to brunch, then change the intensity for a graphic look at night.” TYRON MACHHAUSEN, Chanel makeup artist who works with Jessica Chastain and Margot Robbie “I’ve used Chanel Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur Mat in Impulsion ($37) on the fairest and the deepest skin tones; the potent berry works…

There are these things people do without thinking: They take a paper clip and unbend it. Or they make whirlpools in a drink with a straw, or stamp circles on a cocktail napkin with their glass. They’re activities of distracted fiddling, free of the end product that knitting or doodling might promise, and they’ve almost—but not quite—been replaced by Instagram scrolling. Anyone with a bit of anxiety will be familiar. And who, in these times of rising sea levels, shifting international alliances, and the ongoing demolition of consensus reality, isn’t anxious? “It’s hard not to get a little riled up” by the state of the world, says artist Tara Donovan, who for 25 years has worked everyday detritus into objects both unstable and monumental. “But I have no interest in…

STYLE STATS NAME Daniella Duque-Angel PERSONAL STYLE Sophisticated Chic COORDINATES Miami MUST-HAVES FOR FALL Knee-high boots and menswear-inspired jackets This faux fur from Marciano is a must-have for anyone who likes to stand out in a crowd. There are endless ways to style this classic white button down and jeans from Kut from the Kloth, both staples for my fall wardrobe. There is nothing better than a sophisticated and feminine fragrance. I love this fresh and floral scent from Jason Wu. This Stayput Eyebrow pencil is a key part of my beauty routine, keeping my brows defined yet natural. It is essential to take care of my skin so I look for brands that offer high quality natural ingredients, like True Botanicals. STYLE STATS NAME Nikia Provenzano PERSONAL STYLE Vintage…

I know my voice is very prominent,” Selena Gomez explains in this month’s cover story (page 205). “I’m not careless with it.” As the most followed person on Instagram, the singer can’t post anything without it reverberating across the internet. (Last July, a gallery of pictures from her twenty-sixth birthday celebration broke the platform’s speed record for likes—garnering one million in just under 13 minutes.) So when it comes to discussing politics, Gomez revealed to ELLE that she can be a little hesitant. But you don’t have to have 140 million followers to relate—all it takes is one heated exchange with a friend or family member who doesn’t share your views to wish you had a mute feature in real life. The great equalizer? Voting. “It’s crucial to our children,…

The Scottish artist Hey Reilly uses his Instagram account, @hey_reilly, not for filtered vacation shots or self-promotional posts, but to create collisions of what he calls “brandalized” images: Lord Voldemort posing for Louis Vuitton; Justin Bieber pap shots grafted onto Balenciaga ads; a Céline campaign featuring the one and only Ms. Dion; or, as seen here, Lady Liberty reimagined as a Fendi-toting fashion icon (in an illustration commissioned exclusively for ELLE). He also draws on more traditional high art, from Vermeer to Da Vinci. “I see an Instagram square as a digital version of a T-shirt,” he says, “a personalized message zone with the potential to share ideas of beauty, power, and wit.” While the work of Hey Reilly and other fashion provocateurs like @siduations and @copylab might once have…

1. G-STAR RAW X JADEN SMITH After announcing its “Most Sustainable Jeans Ever” (produced using 75 percent less water) last February, G-Star Raw is bringing star power to their fabrication. The denim featured in Jaden Smith’s new Forces of Nature capsule collection is Cradle to Cradle Gold Level Certified, meaning it was rigorously vetted for best manufacturing processes, earning top marks for utilizing renewable energy, material recyclability, and water conservation. (g-star.com) 2. KÉVIN GERMANIER Barely out of Central Saint Martins, Paris-based Kévin Germanier has been gathering steam for his intricate sequin- and bead-heavy embroidery ensembles. While his maximalist designs may not look like your typical hippie-chic sustainable fare, Germanier’s preferred raw materials are slightly imperfect factory seconds that would otherwise be tossed. Björk and Tracee Ellis Ross are already fans,…

SWING TIME Hermès’s Circus wallpaper, part of the luxury brand’s recently expanded range of home decor, provides the perfect backdrop for Pierre Hardy’s new Kelly Chaîne collection. United by a clasp that takes inspiration from the house’s iconic Kelly bag, the delicate gold links dazzle without being too over-the-top for everyday wear. Gold bracelet, $5,150, earrings, $3,275, pavé bracelet, necklace, all, Hermès, hermes.com. DANGLING MODIFIERS Tabitha Simmons has been busy this year: She got married, collaborated with Equipment on a line of ready-to-wear and footwear, and styled Dolce & Gabbana’s runway shows—all while designing her eponymous shoe line. Her latest project: a 14-piece collection of asymmetric jewelry for Atelier Swarovski infused with off-kilter cool. Crystal earrings, Atelier Swarovski by Tabitha Simmons, $399, atelierswarovski.com.

If you want to get to the bottom of the recent baby-hair boom, look to your radio, says Ursula Stephen, a Unilever hair expert who’s worked with Jourdan Dunn, Laverne Cox, and Rita Ora. “FKA twigs gave us the runway version, then Rihanna took it to the streets.” Of course, fashion is cyclical, so you could also look back to the earliest days of hip-hop and the tough-pretty Mexican American chola-girl style that paired oversize flannels and khakis with big hoop earrings and gelled baby hairs. “When I was a little girl, it was the big thing—we’d comb down those edges to finish off the look,” says L.A. hairstylist Kim Kimble, who counts Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, and Zendaya as clients. “It became really popular in the ’90s, and now styles…

ACNE ERADICATORS Acne is the most common skin condition, and one of the most powerful ingredients for eliminating it is salicylic acid (find it in Kora Organics Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating Mask, $48). “It can cut through dead skin cells, and it’s particularly effective at cutting through oils,” says dermatologist Mona Gohara, MD, of New Haven, Connecticut. But it can also be irritating. Enter ultragentle charcoal: “I think of charcoal as a tape strip to remove blackheads,” says Long Island dermatologist Kavita Mariwalla, MD. Try Olay Masks Pore Detox (1; $10) and Garnier Black Peel-Off Mask with Charcoal ($8). For flare-ups, try Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Zit Zapping Dots ($9), with both salicylic acid and charcoal. PORE PERFECTORS If your pores strike you as gargantuan, genetics are probably to…

Must Dew This fall, a luminous complexion is the basis for every look—and an absolute must if you want to pull off the you-but-better makeup that’s so of the moment. Start with an easy skincare routine that you’ll actually stick to: Cleanse daily—Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 ($8.99) doesn’t overdry or cause irritation—and then layer on an antioxidant boost, such as L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intense 10% Pure Vitamin C Concentrate ($29.99), to take your glow to the next level. If you need coverage, reach for an ultrasheer foundation; Giorgio Armani Beauty Face Fabric Second Skin Makeup ($49) blurs imperfections and feels like next to nothing. Finish things off with satiny nude lips. Maybelline New York Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick ($7.99) has options for every skin tone. Electric…

LAST SEPTEMBER, SAN JUAN mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz made a plea to President Trump for aid in the wake of Hurricane Maria: “I am done being polite. I am done being politically correct. I am mad as hell.” Ten months later, at a rally to protest the administration’s family-separation immigration policy, Representative Maxine Waters refused to be silenced, even in the face of death threats: “All I have to say is this—if you shoot me, you better shoot straight. There’s nothing like a wounded animal.” Fueled by decades of unchecked misogyny, and galvanized by mass protests (both virtual and IRL), American women have opened the floodgates of fury. And as we approach the midterm elections, this collective outrage is only getting louder. Enter cultural critic Rebecca Traister, whose new book,…

Just 36 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot in 2014—the lowest number since 1942. And according to research from the Voter Participation Center, turnout on general election day, Tuesday, November 6, is predicted to drop 54.1 percent from 2016. But what’s at stake in the midterms—the future of the Supreme Court, immigration law, health care, women’s rights, and control of Congress—is, in so many ways, more critical than who sits in the Oval Office. The country hit a historic landmark in 2016, when 200 million people were registered to vote for the first time. But we still have a ways to go. So in honor of National Voter Registration Day (September 25), ELLE is partnering with When We All Vote to urge everyone to sign up and be counted.…

1. “POLITICIANS ARE ALL BAD.” There are no perfect people in the world. I mean, there’s Beyoncé, but the last time I checked, she wasn’t planning on running for office. Waiting for the perfect candidate is a great way to one day find yourself pinning your hair into a modesty bonnet in Gilead while wondering what you could have done differently to help change the outcome. Think about all the people you love whose lives are impacted daily by the shifting whims of government, hold your nose, and vote for the candidate who gets you 65 percent of the way there. Yes, please. Thank you—your votes are needed. 2. “I CAN’T AFFORD TO REGISTER.” Nope! Registering to vote is free! Usually free things come with a catch, but not this…

Every issue that affects women’s lives is on the ballot this November: the wages we earn, the health care we need, our ability to live and work free from harassment and discrimination, and so much more. No issue is more fundamental to women’s economic, cultural, and political equality than reproductive health and rights. And yet, instead of investing in women, the current administration has repeatedly tried to cut off access to lifesaving health care at Planned Parenthood, gutted the nation’s family-planning program, and done everything in its power to end safe and legal abortion—including appoint a Supreme Court nominee who could overturn Roe v. Wade and criminalize doctors and women. We cannot allow our daughters and granddaughters to have fewer rights than we do. This election is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—not…

HERE’S A PARTIAL LIST OF THE ITEMS I consumed while on a picnic with Jameela Jamil: egg salad, chicken salad, French bread, bacon, fruit salad, frittata, baked apples, and rice pudding with mango puree. The picnic was her suggestion, and she’d planned to do all the shopping, until it occurred to her that choosing someone else’s food might be “a dick move.” (I was excited about the prospect, personally.) We had arranged to meet outside Los Angeles’s Erewhon Market, but when I arrive, clutching a couple of furry pillows and a blanket, she texts me to come find her inside—she’ll be the one in the cheeseburger sweater. Obviously, even if she weren’t wearing a garment featuring a flap of felt cheese under a bun, Jamil, 32, would be hard to…

In many ways, Misty Copeland’s story could have been plucked from a turn-of-the-century ballet: an impoverished girl sharing a room with her mother and five siblings happens, by chance, to enroll in a local ballet class, reveals herself to be a prodigy, and ends up pirouetting on the world’s biggest stages. The brand endorsements from Under Armour and Estée Lauder (she wears 4W1 Honey Bronze), the 1.5 million Instagram followers, the collaboration with Prince, the Barbie doll—maybe those could have come from a more modern libretto, but the facts remain fairy-tale-esque. Copeland has shattered just about every conception of what it means to be a ballerina, becoming the first African American female principal dancer in American Ballet Theatre’s 75-year history in 2015 and injecting fresh energy into an art form…

Selena Gomez hasn’t disappeared. Not exactly. But in the past few months, the most followed person on Instagram (140 million and counting) has removed herself from the Tabloid Industrial Complex. In January, Gomez quietly moved to Orange County, where she and a friend from Hillsong Church, Raquelle, are playing house. “It’s been such a release. L.A.’s just gotten really claustrophobic for me. I can’t do any of the things I do here in L.A. It’s just impossible,” she says. After selling her Calabasas estate—$3.3 million, to French Montana, of all people—she has now also put her Studio City bungalow on the market for $2.8 million. (Her Texas mansion, one of the most expensive homes near Fort Worth, is for sale at $3 million.) We’re sitting in a coffee shop, and…

Few accessories are as versatile as an Hermès scarf. Over the years, we’ve celebrated the range of this timeless piece—whether tied pirate-style on a beach in Ibiza, showcased in a Slim Aarons–esque shoot on the Amalfi Coast, or wrapped turban-style among colorful artisanal tiles in Tulum. The hand-painted silk squares are truly wearable art, designed by highly collectible collaborators like Waco, Texas, postman-turned-artist Kermit Oliver and Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto. In fact, some devotees even opt to hang theirs on the wall. This season, the wrist has emerged as the popular place to tie one on, but as for a rule book? The beauty is that there isn’t one.…

In 1998, 16-year-old Beyoncé Knowles and her Destiny’s Child bandmates donned matching color-blocked Tommy Hilfiger bandeaus for an NYC event. Twenty years later, Hilfiger—the reigning designer of the ’90s hip-hop set—is 7,000 miles away in Shanghai, still thinking about the pop phenom and her vocals. “There’s a very intense art and music scene in Shanghai,” says the designer, who showed his fall collection last month at the city’s Port Cruise Terminal. “They’re fanatical about Chinese pop groups, but also Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Cardi B.” Hilfiger’s September event was the fifth under his TommyNow umbrella of experimental shows, and the first of its kind in Asia. At his side was British race-car driver Lewis Hamilton, who stepped into the role of codesigner—joining the Hilfiger stable, which also includes paparazzi magnet Hailey…

SKIN WHISPERER I have a wonderful facialist, Terri Lawton. She picks up on your energy and tailors every facial. I go to see her whenever I’m in Los Angeles. I like products that make my skin feel soft and wonderful, like Retrouvé—especially the Nutrient Face Serum ($395) and Revitalizing Eye Concentrate (3; $415). I also use the organic skin-care line ISUN. AIRPLANE ESSENTIAL I apply The Lost Explorer Traveler’s Protection Balm ($36) when I’m on a plane. It’s a light, natural moisturizer. You can even put it in your nose to help you breathe better, because it has camphor and eucalyptus-leaf oils. SIGNATURE SCENT When I’m into a fragrance, I tend to wear it every day. It’s really for me more than anyone else. I fell in love with Black…

“I keep my skin-care routine simple; otherwise I wouldn’t do it.” FACE FIRST I keep my skin-care routine simple; otherwise I wouldn’t do it. Face wash, toner, then natural oils—such as calendula—before moisturizer. Calendula is very, very soothing and really good for healing my skin when it’s had a lot of sun exposure. I intend to use sunblock, but I don’t always. SKIN SAVIORS I have a very dry complexion, so I use avocado oil to wipe off my makeup. It’s gentle and doesn’t strip my skin. I’m an ambassadress for Lancôme, and I love the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Hydrogel Melting Mask (2; $15), which is great for hydrating. I travel so much that it’s actually quite vital, just to replenish the moisture. EYE OPENER Right now the makeup product…

Jenny Slate got a haircut. A short bob, it frames her wonderful face. She invites me inside her charming Craftsman house in Los Angeles, where she lives with her very cute, very elderly dog, Reggie. She’s been here a year, and the inside is light and airy and filled with ceramics and beautiful flowers and plants that spill out into a lush garden. The kitchen, where we’ve settled, as people do, has green wallpaper with a houseplant pattern, and a Sesame Street sign commemorating Slate’s recent appearance on the show, during which she had the distinct pleasure of working with Cookie Monster. “I asked the puppeteer if I could smell him, and the guy was like, ‘No one’s ever asked that before,’” she says. “And I was like, ‘Really? People…

In Georgia’s hotly contested gubernatorial race, STACEY ABRAMS could become the first black woman governor in the country, ever. As minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, she fought to expand voter participation by offering alternative voting days and early voting, both of which help citizens with inflexible schedules. In 2013, she also founded a nonpartisan nonprofit, the New Georgia Project, which has registered more than 250,000 Georgians—mostly people of color, unmarried women, and young people. Their demographic title? The “new American majority.” ELLE: What kick-started the New Georgia Project? Stacey Abrams: In 2013, I launched the first version to sign people up for the Affordable Care Act. [I learned that] there were 800,000 people of color in Georgia who weren’t registered to vote. That’s basically the population of…

Crystal Mason almost didn’t vote. When she arrived at her polling place in Rendon, Texas, on Election Day in 2016, poll workers told her she wasn’t on the voter rolls. Mason, a former tax preparer, had recently gotten out of prison for a felony conviction for tax fraud. She had taken part in a scheme in which she inflated her customers’ deductions so they could get higher returns. After three years in prison, she was now on supervised release, rebuilding her life. She had a new job at a quality-assurance company and was going to night school to be an aesthetician. Part of becoming a productive member of society again, she knew, was participating in democracy. Plus, her mom had been nagging her to exercise her civic right. When her…

“TO VOTE IS TO HAVE A VOICE. WE MUST ALL USE OUR VOICE.”—DIANE VON FURSTENBERG You registered ages ago. You’re all set, right? Maybe not. In certain states, if you fail to show up to the polls, you could be at risk of being dropped from the rolls. Sophia Lin Lakin, staff attorney of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project, explains. How does voter purging work? States use a variety of mechanisms to identify voters who’ve died or moved out of state and then remove them from the voter rolls to keep them up to date. Some of these processes, however, are prone to error and vulnerable to manipulation. Many voters only find out that they’ve been struck from the rolls when they go to the polls and it’s too late to reregister.…

They say that God works in mysterious ways, that you find him in the most unexpected places. He found Norma Pimentel in a Pizza Hut. It was the mid-1970s, and Pimentel was living at home with her parents after graduating from college. The daughter of two Mexican immigrants, she was born in Brownsville, a border city deep in the tip of Texas, and grew up in an era when travel between the two countries was easy and unremarkable. As a girl, Pimentel was drawn to sketching and painting, so she went to college to study fine arts. After getting her bachelor’s degree, she wanted to travel and work as an artist, but her father, an auto electrician who ran his own repair shop, had other plans. “My dad wasn’t really…

DEAR E. JEAN: I’m a 25-year-old marine biologist researching dolphins in Southern California. I am mostly wary of men because I have a history of sexual abuse. This past year, I met a man and have fallen very deeply in love. (I didn’t think I was capable of it!) He’s extremely kind, generous, considerate, passionate, thoughtful, attractive, outdoorsy, and adventurous. But he is soon moving to Colorado to pursue his career in the Rocky Mountains. I’m happy that he will be doing what he loves, Miss Eeee, but I’m so sad to lose him! He feels the same about me. I’m not interested in a long-distance relationship—it seems irrational to commit to someone when we have no future plans to live in the same area. I’m so frustrated by it all!…
