LONDON MATTY BOVAN A recent Central Saint Martins grad pulled off one of the most stunning London Fashion Week debuts in recent memory. For the past three seasons, Matty Bovan has presented in the Fashion East group shows, but fall 2018 marked his first stand-alone outing and featured some serious British star power. The over-the-top balloon headpieces that put one in mind of both Up and It were the handiwork of master milliner Stephen Jones. The model lineup? Adwoa Aboah opened, with Winnie Harlow and Lily (daughter of Kristen) McMenamy walking as well. It was styled by none other than Katie Grand, the founding editor-in-chief of Love magazine and Marc Jacobs’s longtime collaborator. This many heavy hitters could easily sink a nascent collection, but Bovan pulled off the rare feat…

I RECENTLY HAD AN EPIPHANY at the shampoo sink. Worried that my fine hair might be thinning, I leaned into a trendy new Japanese beauty treatment called head spa, a high-tech scalp facial that’s supposed to be a game changer for hair. But as she squeezed and scrubbed, Yoshie Sakuma, a stylist at the Pierre Michel Salon in New York City, assured me it wasn’t my hair but rather my scalp that could use some help. Magnified photos showed tiny sand dune–like structures at the base of each strand—buildup of dried oil, dead skin, and hair products around the follicles. Suddenly, I deeply regretted my fourth-day hair. “Scalp care is an essential step of hair care,” Sakuma said. “Almost every salon in Japan has a head-spa menu.” In the States,…

get the rıght CUT Removing ragged ends is essential to achieving a beautiful mane. “Your natural hair texture will come back to life,” promises Chris Appleton, the L.A. stylist behind the lustrous locks of Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez. DO THE TRIM TEST. Pull small sections of hair straight up so you can see from roots to ends in a mirror. “Hair is always slightly thinner at the ends, because that’s where it’s older and more damaged, but if it’s dramatically uneven, it’s time for a haircut,” Appleton says. ASK FOR A DRY CUT. If curls, waves, or texture are in your hair’s DNA, a dry cut is “the best way to get a custom cut for your hair needs,” says New York–based Aveda stylist Tippi Shorter, who works with…

“Marc Jacobs Beauty Enamored Hydrating Lip Gloss Stick in Candy Bling ($28) is a sheer poppy pink that looks great on everyone and goes on like a balm.”—Diane Kendal (@diane.kendal), makeup artist and consultant for Marc Jacobs Beauty “Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lip Gloss in Bellini ($28) adds high shine and gold sparkles to lips. And it looks amazing with gold hoops!” —Aleali May (@alealimay), fashion stylist “Dior Addict Lacquer Plump in Lovely-D ($37) is the perfect nude: It’s not too pink, and it’s long lasting.”—Sabrina Bedrani (@sabrinabmakeup), makeup artist and brand ambassador for Dior Makeup “I love the feel of Chantecaille Brilliant Gloss in Charm ($36). This pale beige-pink looks especially pretty when placed in the center of lips over a darker lipstick.”—Jillian Dempsey (@jilliandempsey), makeup artist who works…

Heidi Klum is jumping like a maniac. Not little bunny hops, either. She’s getting air, maybe two to three feet of it, with every single leap—all while maintaining the cheeriness of a toddler in a bouncy castle who doesn’t get that jumping is just exercise in disguise. It’s worth mentioning that Klum is doing this while wearing heels the approximate size of an ice cream cone. And she’s not just going straight up and down. Her feet fly back to meet her butt, then swing out for a split; her heels click together like she’s in a production of Newsies. Rankin, the British fashion photographer and her longtime collaborator (he did both of her photo books), lies on the floor in a draw-me-like-one-of-your-French-girls pose, clicking his camera each time Klum…

This past April, Ainsley Earhardt released The Light Within Me: An Inspirational Memoir, about the role faith has played in her life. Each chapter begins with a passage from Scripture, and for chapter eight, “Fox News Comes Calling,” it is Psalm 37:4: “Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Since Earhardt joined Fox & Friends on February 29, 2016, one day before Super Tuesday, ratings for the show have gone from 1.1 million to 1.6 million, according to Nielsen; in May, it celebrated its 199th month as the most-watched cable-news program in its time slot. For the most part, it is a typical morning show, albeit one with an ideological bent. On April 26, for example, the cohosts celebrated National Pretzel Day;…

A few months ago, I wrote a Facebook post about my fear that some men would react to #MeToo by avoiding one-on-one time with female colleagues—including meetings, coffee breaks, and all the interactions that help us work together effectively. I said that if men thought that was the way to address workplace sexual harassment, it would be a huge setback for women. Lean In teamed up with SurveyMonkey to investigate whether my fear was coming true. The numbers we found were alarming: Almost half of the male managers in the U.S. who responded to the survey reported feeling uncomfortable participating in common work activities with women. Senior men are 3.5 times more likely to hesitate to have a work dinner alone with a junior woman than with a junior man.…

Charlotte McLaughlin knows a thing or two about being in the minority. “Early in my career, it wasn’t uncommon to be the only woman in a room,” she says. “It still happens, but I don’t even notice it now.” She believes that mentorship should work both ways, with an exchange of ideas at every level—something she would have valued when she first started in finance: “At PNC, we do a combination of reverse mentorship and two-way mentoring. Basically, people across different experience levels working together to finish projects.” She wants to spread the wealth, so here’s the advice she wishes someone had given her sooner. 1. EMBRACE GRIT. “To me, grit equals resilience plus tenacity plus passion (incidentally, my three favorite words). Grit is also a learned skill. Early on,…

DEAR E. JEAN: Recently I hired a new woman in our office. She’s young, pretty, and petite, with long blond hair—men absolutely love her. I invited her to dinner with my boyfriend and me one night because she was new in town and didn’t know anyone. The woman got drunk and asked us if we could have a threesome. My boyfriend, who also works at our company, said yes. I said no. It would be a bad professional decision, because I am her superior. My boyfriend was crushed—he really wanted the threesome. It caused a huge fight between us. I hate her. She has no work ethic; she lies and misses deadlines. I wish I could fire her, but I can’t (it’s not my decision to make). So I have to…

Leo July 23–Aug 22 With Leo season in full swing until the 23rd, you’re a high-profile royal. The partial solar eclipse on August 11 galvanizes personal goals, and profits could roll in by the full moon on the 26th. Love and friendship intermingle beautifully all month, so let those lines blur, and enjoy a romance on the open road. Virgo Aug 23–Sept 22 Until Virgo season begins on the 23rd, you’re like a psychic sponge, absorbing people’s emotions and duties as your own. Set healthy boundaries at work, and ditch the energy vampires masquerading as friends. With Venus moving into your career zone on the 6th, you could discover a soul-nourishing path that also pays the bills. Libra Sept 23–Oct 22 Planets converge in your communal eleventh house until the…

Derived from plants, black charcoal is known for its natural ability to draw out impurities. It will leave your hair naturally renewed, replenished, and full of life. Q.

How do you switch up your beauty and fashion routine with the change of seasons? Colder temperatures dry out…

“You have hair dysmorphia,” announces Moroccanoil celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett within seconds of my sitting in his chair. I had just told him that I never ever wear my hair natural because “my waves look like an ’80s music video.” But since my editor has asked me to learn how to embrace my natural texture—which also means abandoning my love of pro blow-outs and hot rollers—my massive mane is in the hands of the man responsible for creating Gigi Hadid’s perfectly undone waves. Scarlett assures me I have “gorgeous, curly hair.” The latter part of his compliment is quite profound: I had no idea I had curly hair. It turns out that always reaching for heavy styling creams to soften my unruly strands and wrapping my hair in a topknot…

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Penélope Cruz, Kate Bosworth, and Sienna Miller are but a handful of stars who credit Nigma Talib for their enviable glow. The London- and L.A.-based naturopathic doctor and aesthetician promotes holistic wellness through diet, supplements, and exercise while also embracing high-tech dermatologic treatments (like medical-grade peels and LED light therapy). Talib, whose supplement and skin-care line is sold on Net-a-Porter, developed the thesis for her popular 2016 book, Younger Skin Starts in the Gut, after discovering “a correlation between the gut and the immune system, as well as premature aging.” What’s the first step for balancing the gut? “Remove sugar, dairy, wine, and gluten. They all trigger constant inflammation. Then put good things back in the gut, like probiotics. My Dr. Nigma Healthy Flora ($65) contains grape seed,…

Here’s a success story that would be impossible to replicate: A Queens, New York, rapper achieves viral internet glory, courtesy of an ode to her own genitalia. (Title? “My Vag.”) Actually, “rap per” doesn’t tell the whole tale of Awkwafina (an alias 30-year-old Nora Lum coined in high school); the strings to her bow are as unpredictably diverse as they are manifold. There was her bodega-set web talk show, Tawk; a hometown guidebook, Awkwafina’s NYC; regular commentary on MTV’s Girl Code; and her recently released album, In Fina We Trust, a follow-up to 2014’s Yellow Ranger that infuses her self-described “brash, feminist rap” with a richer, sleeker swagger. But it wasn’t until she was cast in two of this summer’s most anticipated blockbusters that the mainstream really got wind of…

Women still make up less than a quarter of all STEM professionals, command only 6 percent of CEO positions at Fortune 500 companies, and hold just 21 percent of congressional seats—you get the idea. There’s still a lot of work to do. And from Silicon Valley to Hollywood, the latest suggestion for closing the opportunity gap has been to promote mentorship. But what does that really look like? It can seem like just another corporate buzzword based on the unlikely scenario in which a seasoned professional decides, out of the goodness of his or her heart, to spend time and emotional labor guiding a mentee up the ladder. And that’s a shame, because mentorship truly could be the key to making sure women are represented on screens, in boardrooms, and…

Esosa Ighodaro, Regina Gwynn, and Lauren Washington, all entrepreneurs and women of color, saw each other for years at various events but never formally met. “Since we were the only chocolate drops in the room, as we like to say, we would wonder who those other young women were,” Gwynn says. When they finally got together for a lunch, they discovered that they all faced similar challenges, from finding the right team members to getting enough funding to expand. That’s why they launched Black Women Talk Tech: to share knowledge, resources, and investment opportunities with other WOC entrepreneurs. The group hosted its first conference at Google’s New York office in 2017, followed by another at Microsoft earlier this year. Drawing from their experience, they’ve come up with three questions to…

Ariana Grande is a star. A really big star. For millions of Arianators, as her fans are known, she’s a radiant, life-giving force they wake up with in the morning and go to bed with at night. They’ve followed the phases of her career as she’s risen from Broadway (the musical 13) to TV (Nickelodeon’s Victorious and Sam & Cat) to the apex of pop stardom and commercial success (eight multiplatinum singles, 9 billion music-video streams on YouTube). They’ve contributed to the $100 million-plus that her tours have made, casting the likes of Drake and Sting in Ariana’s petite but long, five-foot shadow. They are among Ariana’s 121 million Instagram followers, making her the third-most-followed person, above both Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé. And when her latest album, Sweetener, drops August…

STAYING NATURAL “As I approach the new season, I’m making investment purchases in natural fibers like silk, linen, cotton [1], and cashmere. I try to avoid the lure of trendy, inexpensive clothes made of synthetic materials.” GOING GREEN “The food I consume is also part of my beauty routine. I start each morning with a glass of green tea [2] to make sure I’m purifying from the inside out.” KEEPING IT MONOCHROMATIC “I adopt a monochromatic uniform [3] so that I’m wearing one color head-to-toe. Not only does wearing one tone look chic, it’s super easy on busy mornings.” CLEANING FOR GOOD “When my closet becomes packed with things that don’t fit or that I haven’t worn in years, I know it’s time to let go! I donate to a…

1 THE BAG For those who worship at the altar of high fashion, a cardinal-red bag featuring a gold heart-shaped ex-voto should more than fit the bill. Leather Devotion handbag, Dolce & Gabbana, $1,495, at select Dolce & Gabbana boutiques nationwide. 2 THE NECKLACE When visionary New York jeweler David Webb first introduced his Totem collection of pendants in the early ’70s, the bold, interchangeable baubles proved the perfect pairing for the plunging necklines and louche Studio 54 glamour of the day. Now they’re becoming a calling card for a new generation of haute bohemians. Cabochon opal, amethyst, lapis lazuli, carnelian, coral, diamond, gold, and platinum pendant, gold necklace, both, David Webb, davidwebb.com. 3 THE SHOE There was a futuristic slant to Prada’s fall show, which opened with a drone…

Going through the fashion-month motions, an editor can’t help but dream of an off-the-beaten-path style destination. Enter Bogotá, a sprawling and colorful mix of new and old. The Colombian capital has long been a pipeline of design talent, from Johanna Ortiz to Esteban Cortázar to Aquazzura’s Edgardo Osorio. Our own editor-in-chief, Nina Garcia, hails from Barranquilla—and when she headed home for the second-ever Bogotá Fashion Week in April, she discovered a wealth of promising newbies. While the designers’ aesthetics are diverse, color, print, and a sense of regional pride are paramount. Among the standouts: Ana Maria Sarmiento of Flor Amazona and Adriana Santacruz, who both pay tribute to their country’s natural beauty and artisanal traditions. Sarmiento’s gold jewelry is inspired by the Amazon rain forest and ancient architecture; Santacruz partners…

It’s been nearly 20 years since Britney Spears walked the AMA red carpet in that now-infamous jean dress with a thick, blingedout choker (and Justin Timberlake as her rhinestone cowboy). While the look was universally panned, the pop princess was onto something Denim and diamonds leave a lasting impression. See Cartier’s new Coloratura high jewelry collection. Though the heirloom pieces take inspiration from around the globe—pink sapphire tassels recall Japanese cherry blossoms, and morganites and tourmalines represent the colors of India—when worn with a pearl-snap shirt and jeans, they take on a surprisingly western feel.…

Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun has long been deemed skin’s worst enemy, wreaking havoc on a cellular level and resulting in fine lines, pigment gone wild, and even skin cancer. But experts warn of another stealth skin saboteur: pollution. From the incessant soot lining your windowsills, you already know you’re constantly surrounded by pollution—what’s alarming is that the particulate matter suspended in the air actually enters the skin, attacks cell DNA, and, over time, causes wrinkles, dryness, inflammation, and uneven tone. “Pollution microparticles are 20 times smaller than your pores, so they easily infiltrate the skin,” says NYC dermatologist Dendy Engelman, MD. Digital light pollution—the blue light emitted from your phone, tablet, or computer—is also a threat. This high-energy visible light (HEV) causes free radical damage, as UV light…

The right work of art, encountered at the right moment, can cast a kind of magic spell. I can remember, with a vividness that makes my stomach clench, exactly where I was when I first saw an artwork by Egon Schiele. I was 17 and living in Geneva. One day after school, I attempted to relieve my boredom at an art museum when a strange drawing confronted me. It was a portrait of a woman—I no longer recall her name, or the work’s title—sketched in an expressive, sinuous line, filled with a light wash of watercolor. The woman’s body was contorted, even distended. She was not aestheticized or made beautiful by the artist in a traditional sense, yet I was pulled up short by her erotic allure. The image had…

My mom has a saying: “TYB, baby.” It means “Try your best, baby.” Back then, it mostly had to do with soccer practice—TYB, baby, and go with unbounded enthusiasm and grit and determination into everything you do. But that mantra is also what led me to start Outdoor Voices (OV), which is now the number one digital recreation brand. With OV, I wanted to do something entirely new. Someone else’s career choices weren’t going to directly match up with mine, so having just one mentor wouldn’t have made sense. Instead, I kept a list of people’s mantras and one-line pieces of advice, and turned them into a strategy that’s uniquely mine. I crowdsource these mantras, and I tend to look outside of fashion when I do it. One of the…

Sophia Amoruso founded cool-girl retailer Nasty Gal; has written three books about her career; and was the inspiration for a Netflix show, Girlboss, based on her scrappy origin story. Sounds great, right? And yet in 2015, she stepped down from running Nasty Gal (though she stayed on as executive chairwoman); the following year, the company declared bankruptcy. Amoruso’s marriage fell apart around the same time, and then the Netflix series got canceled. She carried on, growing Girlboss—a media company that hosts a website, a podcast, and two annual conferences, called the Girlboss Rally. She also launched the Girlboss Foundation, which has given out $130,000 to women-owned small businesses. Here, Amoruso explains the upside of making mistakes. ELLE: You’ve always been candid in talking about career setbacks. Sophia Amoruso: Yes. I…
