’Tis the season for new possibilities—and what better way to enjoy the holiday months than with a little help from our December/January issue? We’ve compiled our annual gift guide, where you’ll find something for everyone in your life, as well as a treasure trove of the season’s most opulent jewels and a hot list of the most highly anticipated moments in fashion and culture for 2016.

Just in time for the New Year, we reveal the secrets to achieving a new you with tips on how to…

You’re still young, but you’ve been working as a designer for many years. What are some of the standout moments in your career so far? We just celebrated the 10th anniversary of 3.1 Phillip Lim, and it’s been a milestone year in so many ways. I’m not one for history or dwelling on the past— I like to keep moving forward—but the moment we’re in right now has really stopped me in my tracks. If I think back, there have been many others. In my very first season, my pieces were featured in Barneys’ windows. That was huge. I was on Madison Avenue looking at them, and it felt like a Christmas movie. It was winter, and I thought, “Wow, this is very beautiful. It worked. It’s real.” What do…

IT’S RARE TO MEET SOMEONE who lives up to your expectations, much less surpasses them. As I’ve learned again and again over the span of my short professional life, we are often disappointed by figures we consider deeply important—but let’s save that for the memoir one writes at age 80. Speaking of memoirs and meeting your idols: Gloria Steinem wrote a gorgeous one, My Life on the Road, and Gloria is more magical, more profound, and more lovely than I could ever have imagined. She hosted me in the gardenfloor office of her New York duplex, where the air conditioner was broken but she did not sweat, and she showed me her collection of Native American belts, and she told me what to read and who to Google, and she…

LENA DUNHAM: Lena is everything you hope she will be and then some. She is profoundly generous with her mind, and thank goodness for that. You can tell she’s always having fun in her clothes. KATE MOSS: Kate has defined so many of fashion’s epic moments. Her beauty and inherent cool are undeniable. DIANE KRUGER: When I think of the people whose wardrobe inspires, Diane instantly comes to mind. No one can make a pantsuit—or a gown— look quite as elegantly chic as she can. DIANE KEATON: Not only is she one of my ultimate style heroes, but she’s also an actress whose talent I most admire. JEMIMA KIRKE: Jemima has such authenticity and humor. Her joie de vivre in style and spirit is contagious.…

A lit-from-within glow is the first step of any good makeup look. Prep your skin with a primer (we like YSL’s), or massage in a few drops of face oil to help your foundation glide on smoothly. For an airbrushed finish, use an oversize clean powder brush to buff in your base and remove any shine. Highlight your cheekbones with a fine, shimmery powder. CHIC SPRITZES Top off a look-at-me LBD with a sexy new scent. We love floral blends with freesia or jasmine warmed up with sandalwood, musk, or patchouli. Update your fragrance wardrobe with these evening essentials. HOW TO WEAR BLUE The color to try this holiday season: a pop of navy or indigo along your lash lines. “It looks really chic if you combine it with a…

FASHION EDITOR: Joanna Hillman “It’s nice to get acquainted with myself alone…to make my life about getting myself centered.” It says everything about Kate Hudson that on arrival to dinner on a fine Los Angeles evening her hair is in a “fun bun.” Plopped on her head, atop a slinky black outfit and some skyscraper black platforms—which she races in like they’re sneakers—the messy, girlish updo is Hudson in a hairstyle. “Oh!” she says, patting it. “I guess it is fun, eh?” Like trained fashion pets, our conversation begins with Hudson’s outfit: “Pants?” “Alice and Olivia.” “Shoes?” “Barbara Bui.” “Earrings?” “Vintage.” She adds with a cackle, “Me? Almost vintage.” Almost vintage she is not, but at the thoroughly grown-up age of 36, Hudson remains extra bouncy. Part of it is…

“I’LL HAVE WHAT SHE’S HAVING.” Yes, it’s a famous movie line, but more often than not it’s what we think upon seeing the glowing skin of today’s most beautiful actresses and models. Here’s insider access to the golden rules of skin care, straight from A-list treatment rooms. KNOW THYSELF Turns out, many people don’t know what kind of skin they have. “You’d be surprised how many people are simply using the wrong products for their skin type,” says Los Angeles aesthetician Shani Darden, who keeps Jessica Alba glowing. Everyone should have at least one professional skin-care consultation with a licensed aesthetician to get assessed and establish a treatment plan, says New York facialist Mamie McDonald, who works with Kerry Washington. EXFOLIATE WITH CARE Exfoliation is key for younger skin. Cindy…

When I was in Paris recently for the Spring 2016 collections, I spotted a tall, striking blonde across a catwalk. I’d seen her at the same time, same place last year. Back then she was impossible to miss in a bite-size miniskirt and skyscraper heels; this time she wore a thick tweed mid-length skirt and demure flats. The blonde embodies fashion’s fast-changing spirit. As we move into the spring season, fashion is taking a turn toward a softer, vintage femininity: floral brocades, colorful stripes, and a ubiquity of Victoriana. Call it the Gucci effect. Even Gucci’s invitation had me blushing—tucked into a sheer, hand-embroidered lace envelope housed in a delicate paper frame. It was such an intimate, romantic gesture—truly a love letter. The show itself, held under the roof of…

For Forever I’m captivated by the timelessness of a ruby pendant, and this one by Spark is no exception. Its two oval Burmese rubies—1.10 carats each—are encircled and accented by brilliant and contrasting diamonds. It’s a piece for the ages, to be worn by generations to come. For more information, visit sparkcreations.com. Gold Standard My fi rst luxe jewelry purchase was a set of gold bangles.

STARSTRUCK Marc Jacobs dazzled at his dramatic Spring 2016 show in September at New York’s Ziegfeld Theater, where ’40s-inspired frocks, embellished knits, and dizzying prints wowed the crowd. But one of the evening’s surprise scene-stealers was the designer’s handbag offering: a sequin-and-crystal-embroidered shoulder bag featuring fireworks, stars, and blossoms hand-sewn on silk satin. “Everything is very considered,” Jacobs says of the dense detail. “I was thinking about taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary.” B = BUY FROM ShopBAZAAR.com…

100+ antique porcelain plates 2,400 images on Pinterest 2 Siamese cats 7:30 A.M. I wake up early, even after a late night. I don’t like to lie around in bed, even on the weekends. My partner, Rambert [Rigaud], will still be asleep. He’s the opposite of me; he likes to go to bed early and get up late. We have two Siamese cats, Tino and Minnie, who came with us to New York from Paris, so normally they need a little bit of attention. It was the one thing that was stressing me about the move here. New job, new city, leaving Paris after 20 years—all of that I could handle, but getting the cats over was stressful. They sleep on the bed among the pillows. 7:45 A.M. I don’t…

“IF YOU’RE going to cheat on the little black dress, you’d better be doing it in Balenciaga.” Cassie Anderson, Bazaar’s associate fashion market editor, is telling me this solemnly while I contemplate a board of evening looks for the party season. We are reviewing a procession of silky ruched white dresses worn by a resplendently dewy array of hot young things—your Sukis, your Zoës, your Bellas. The look? Sexy virgin. But I have to confess something. I am a cheater. I cheat on the LBD often, and I cheat brazenly. I know, I know—she’s been there for me over the years, but the thrill’s just gone. And guess what? I don’t even care who sees me. I used to be all for the little black dress, though my version had…

As she preps for the January release of her new album, Information, Sumner, the youngest daughter of Sting and film producer Trudie Styler, is nearing the end of her American tour. The night prior, she…

AQUARIUS JANUARY 21–FEBRUARY 19 In December, having felt out of favor with someone influential, seize the opportunity to show yourself at your best. Come January, you may seem brusque or unfriendly to colleagues and friends. Make it up to them with heartfelt words rather than elaborate gestures. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: A clear conscience makes the softest pillow. PISCES FEBRUARY 20–MARCH 20 It may take courage to approach certain people and suggest that you join forces, but you’ll find they’re in agreement that you’ll all benefit from pooling resources. In January, be selective about the issues you take on. Sometimes it pays to be a pragmatist. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: You know you’re in the wrong lane when everything’s coming your way. ARIES MARCH 21–APRIL 20 You’ll have the perfect…

On a typical day when I’m not shooting, I set my alarm for nine. I might wake up a little before or after that, but I’m a night owl, so I’m usually up until 2:30 or 3 a.m. The first thing I do when I wake up is look at my phone. My husband, Ricky Van Veen [the pair married in Wyoming in September], is already up. I check my e-mail and delete any junk—I try to keep my in-box at zero—and read theSkimm. If I have time, I look at Instagram and Twitter. I say hi to my puppy, Moxie, but she doesn’t sleep in…

The fastest way to get hair party-ready? A shiny accessory. “Place it in the front so it draws attention to your face,” says hairstylist Mark Townsend. Keep the look grown-up by giving hair soft texture with Sally Hershberger 24K Supreme Stylist Voluminous Dry Shampoo ($32), and never put the pin right on your hairline. To secure a barrette (or a brooch), Townsend uses bobby pins to make three X’s around the point of placement. “It’s a foundation for the pin to hold on to.” SEXY WAVES Soft, touchable waves are the modern version of the perfect blowout. Prep with Dove Style + Care Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse ($5.49), then make two loose braids on each side of your head over your ears, advises Townsend. Let the style set for…

AS THE CALENDAR books up with soirées and shindigs, you may see visions of pigs in a blanket, spiked eggnog, and cookies. Here, top nutritionists share tricks to indulge wisely and spare the scale. WHAT TO EAT WEEK BEFORE: If you’re going to wear something formfitting for the festivities, avoid foods that make you bloated, recommends New York nutritionist Stephanie Middleberg. Top offenders: artificial sweeteners, carbonated beverages, salty foods, sugar, carbs, dairy, and, ironically, many of the veggies gobbled up with good intentions. “Broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and kale are all gas-inducing,” warns Middleberg. “And those giant chopped lunch salads can be just as bloating. Cut the lettuce amount in half.” What should you have? Lean proteins like salmon; potassium-rich foods like avocado, bananas, and asparagus, which prevent water retention;…

1 THE MODELS WHEN IT COMES to showstopping fashion moments, the women who helped create them professionally— the models—had a banner year. Not only did they strut the runways in the season’s most coveted looks, but they also amazed on the red carpet. Cases in point: KENDALL JENNER opted for a simple white Calvin Klein slipdress at the annual Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week in September, a prime example of less is more in action. Jenner’s friend and partner in crime GIGI HADID flaunted her curves in a bodyhugging cutout Versace number after the Oscars. JOAN SMALLS was dressed to kill in a smoldering floorlength Givenchy at a fashion soirée in Cannes, where KARLIE KLOSS stepped out in a dazzling Louis Vuitton gown—proving that tweed can be…

If you want to be the heroine of your own life, try Shakespeare. His women find themselves in situations that challenge us all—here and now—and whether they live or die, thrive or flounder, their stories are still our stories. Take Romeo and Juliet, the world’s most famous love story. It’s a tragedy of feuding families, the threat of forced marriage, elopement, and death. No wonder Taylor Swift gave it a new ending. But if you are a modern young woman looking for her Romeo, the lesson is clear: Don’t ruin your life for a guy you barely know—no matter how sexy he is. Romeo would have made a lousy husband. He’s an excitable toy boy who’d believe anything he reads on WebMD—and when he thinks Juliet is actually dead, he…

If you love a bold scarlet lip, staying power is key. “The drier the formula, the longer the wear,” says makeup artist Sonia Kashuk. Outline and fill in lips with red liner, then layer matte lipstick on top. The texture looks modern, notes Kashuk. When you want shine, add gloss to the center of your bottom lip to avoid smudging. On nights when you’re wearing a sultry, smoky eye, go for a neutral lip. Select shiny textures with a hint of pink that won’t appear ashy or gray. “A bit of gloss will make it that much more sexy,” advises Kashuk. HOW TO WEAR GOLD Add a touch of metallic for a subtle radiance. SKIN: Dust highlighter “on cheekbones, temples, nose, and Cupid’s bow for a glowing complexion,” says makeup…

EASIEST NUDE NAILS I love a good salon manicure as much as the next woman, but life/work/kids means there is no way I’m going every week. Same with you? Having a quickie D.I.Y. nude mani in your repertoire is key. How-to: Nails look best when they end at the tip of your fingers or just slightly longer. File them in an oval or squoval shape (straight across the top, rounded edges). Next, brush on a cuticle remover—I like Deborah Lippmann’s—then gently push them back with Sephora’s cuticle tool. Don’t ever cut! Wash your hands, apply Sally Hansen’s cuticle oil, and wash again so nails are clean. Apply one coat of any of my favorite sheer shades below. Butter’s has a matte finish; the others are all high-shine. This mani will…

FASHION EDITOR: Sam Broekema You can tell a lot about Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, the game-changing creative directors of Valentino, by the way they enter a room. And when. Chiuri is typically first, settled, in a comfy sweater, with coffee in hand, rather a while before Piccioli arrives, in a mod peacoat, looking like a Fellini hero—if Fellini heroes carried backpacks. (Piccioli’s delay is caused by the recent arrival of his family from Rome, and, doubtless, the leisurely smoking of one of the day’s many cigarettes.) This is not just any room, however, and not just any day. We are sitting in an ornate, high-ceilinged drawing room at the Valentino offices and salon, which occupy the grandest of addresses, on Paris’s Place Vendôme. It’s 9 a.m., and the…

“Working with Avedon was like a ballet, and you got to be the swan.” I MET DICK AVEDON when I was about 14 years old, in London. He was a friend of my mother’s, and he came to our house and took photographs of me with my mother, my brother, and my little sister, Allegra. He also took some test shots of me in a studio off the Fulham Road. I remember I was very excited and very nervous. Afterward he told my mother that he didn’t think I’d be a model because my shoulders were very wide. I was heartbroken, but it made my resolve even stronger, because I loved fashion and was determined to be a model. So there’s a silver lining to every cloud. The Dick I…
