harrywinston.com Jewelry has a language all its own, a vocabulary that expresses quality, rarity, and beauty. For nearly a century, no one has spoken it more fluently than Harry Winston. He built a brand on a glossary of glamour, offering collections that embrace craftsmanship, celebrate innovation, and embody timelessness. Talk to Me, Harry Winston, the latest collection of one-of-a-kind designs, continues this legacy. Defined by bold forms and awe-inspiring artistry, each jewel serves as a conversation between past and present, reflecting the principles that have defined the company’s legend through generations. And at its heart are three defining pillars: King of Diamonds, echoing Harry Winston’s pursuit of the world’s most extraordinary stones; Rare Jeweler of the World, showcasing the transformation of exceptional gems through design and technique; and Jeweler to…

The BAG Jonathan Anderson loves an art-meets-fashion moment. For his Dior men’s debut, he collaborated with artist Sheila Hicks on a tassel-covered reinterpretation of the Lady Dior. Men’s bag, DIOR. The NECKLACE David Webb began designing his signature Art Deco–inspired Totem pendants in the ’70s. The brand remixes its own history, incorporating past shapes in a new colorway. Pendant, DAVID WEBB. The SHOE Exaggerated, curved pumps are everywhere this season. Try on the ’80s-inflected trend with Jude’s Fame style in luxe silk. Pumps, JUDE.…

When Pedro Pascal appeared on a red carpet this past summer in a cream jacket paired with a spotted silk foulard and red carnation in the breast pocket, some fans took it as a subtle nod toward a classic Indiana Jones look. (A few even asked: Could it be an Easter egg pointing to the actor’s next role?) But fashion followers were enraptured for an entirely different reason. Tom Ford designer Haider Ackermann had collaborated closely with Pascal on the actor’s press tour for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, where the pair casually subverted suits that embodied the sultry Ford appeal. “Haider is more a magician than an aesthetician, in a world where magic is real,” Pascal says. “He will identify the slightest detail that will make a look sing…

The holidays don’t have to be just tartan and sparkles. Cue up Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile” and celebrate in your own way, with this perfume (DRIES VAN NOTEN Voodoo Chile Eau De Parfum, $340, driesvannoten.com) inspired by the classic blues-and-sci-fi song. Perfumer Nicolas Beaulieu describes the rosemary note in this scent to be like Hendrix’s guitar—“hot and dense.” With patchouli, sandalwood, cedarwood, and a cannabis accord, it’s woody, warm, and spicy, even more so when paired with a red lipstick (DRIES VAN NOTEN Limited Edition Mezzanotte Blu Lipstick Case, $83, driesvannoten.com) and a rewatch of your favorite otherworldly Christmas movie.…

‘‘Is it too cheesy?” Colleen Hoover asks, pushing onto the hind legs of her chair, her blonde hair pulled up in her signature messy bun and her big eyes growing larger, as she considers a tagline for her forthcoming film, Reminders of Him. It’s mid-September and the prolific, best-selling author of 24 novels in 10 years is in the middle of a meeting to hammer out the film’s trailer, poster, and tagline with Vanessa Caswill, the film’s London-based director; Lauren Levine, Hoover’s producing partner and script cowriter; and Gina Matthews, a veteran Hollywood producer. Reminders of Him, which will premiere in March from Universal, is one of several adaptations of Hoover’s books headed to the big screen, but it’s the first film that she has cowritten and coproduced. (She was…

“MY LIFE IS INSANE,” Chase Infiniti says, cupping her forehead with one hand. “I have to keep pinching myself because I’m like, ‘Is this a dream? Is this fake? Am I in some alternate reality?’ It’s crazy.” The 25-year-old could be referring to starring in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Best Picture front-runner, One Battle After Another, opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and a slew of other big-name stars; meeting her idol, Zendaya, during this year’s Paris Fashion Week; or maybe even becoming an Oscar contender for Best Actress for her first movie—ever. Given how Infiniti’s life has been going for the past couple of months, it’s all of the above. When we chat, she’s in London, enjoying a brief moment of stillness amid the One Battle frenzy. Before this, she was hopping from…

“Stories help us transcend the things that we don’t know how to let out of ourselves,” says Jessie Buckley. As Shakespeare’s wife Agnes in Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, the Irish actress travels the gamut of emotions, from grief to joy. She tells Fashion Features Director Véronique Hyland that as she prepared to film the gut punch of a final scene, “I had no idea where I was going to go. And being lost was part of it. I remember thinking, ‘Maybe it’s deeply human to be lost.’ ” The trade papers may be reporting on the rise of AI actresses, but technology can’t live up to the stirring, complicated, and, yes, deeply human performances of the stars featured in this year’s Women in Hollywood portfolio, from the female power trio…

SLEEPING BEAUTY From Paris-based jewelry designer Lauren Rubinski comes a new brick-and-mortar venture. Nestled on the Rue de Grenelle, her latest project, Rubirosa’s, pays homage to her father, Bruno Rubinski, and to her ancestor Ludovic Élazar Rubinski, who supplied poplin to the Vatican. The fashionable yet cozy storefront offers a line of unisex smart shirts, refined pajamas, chic slippers, and more. +33 6 08 67 20 74. DEFYING GRAVITY After a decade in the fashion industry, Andrea Marron decided to found her own studio. However, when it came to building her line, she drew from an atypical résumé. The designer utilized her engineering degrees to reimagine a bag’s functionality, blending techniques like laser cutting and 3D printing with fine-tuned design to craft the signature Supervea clutch: wearable architecture that…

In fashion parlance, a “grail” usually means something far removed from the days of King Arthur. But this season, all things Middle Ages have been everywhere. Glenn Martens cited “medieval architecture” as an inspiration for his fall 2025 Maison Margiela Artisanal debut, with masked models and crumpled, deconstructed silhouettes. Louis Vuitton’s cruise 2026 show took place in the courtyard of the Palais des Papes, a Gothic palace in Avignon, France. Artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière put his models in outfits a 16th-century knight might wear: textural minidresses that were equal parts radical armor and modern-day jester. To accessorize? Bags printed with millefleurs motifs, inspired by paintings and tapestries from the Middle Ages. And Alessandro Michele included medieval court–ready diamond-print pieces in his Valentino couture collection this past January. Times are strange,…

WHY DID WORKOUTS GET SO HOT? Everything is hot now. The earth, teddy coats—and, especially, our workouts. While hot yoga classes have been around for decades, the super-warm workouts du jour are Bikram at full blast, featuring lightweight dumbbells, upbeat playlists, and sauna-like temperatures. Hot Pilates in Los Angeles has gained a following among celebs like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, and Fuze House in Miami and New York City is crowded with TikTokers in matching workout sets. Your body naturally generates heat as you exert yourself—it’s evidence of the energy your muscles are producing. A hot workout piles on with infrared heating panels or mats. “It loosens your muscles. You can strengthen and stretch them better,” says Tricia Donegan, cofounder and director of teacher training and class development at…

If you look at the slate of this year’s best films, you’d see a reflection of Michelle Satter’s impact. Sinners, One Battle After Another, Hamnet, and Hedda are all directed by filmmakers she supported early on in their careers: Ryan Coogler, Paul Thomas Anderson, Chloé Zhao, Nia DaCosta. Some call her the “fairy godmother of independent film,” but her official title is founding senior director of artist programs at the Sundance Institute, the nonprofit Robert Redford launched in 1981 to support independent cinema. For 44 years at the Institute, Satter has been instrumental in the creation and operation of programs that have propelled some of the biggest names in film (Quentin Tarantino, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Darren Aronofsky, Lulu Wang, and Taika Waititi among them), back when they were launching some of…

SIX YEARS AGO—on October 15, 2019, to be exact—Instagram crashed. Was it a glitch? A cyberattack? Turns out, it was neither. The seismic quake hit at 6:03 a.m. Pacific time when Jennifer Aniston joined the app, announcing her arrival by posting a selfie with her Friends castmates. She set a Guinness World Record for becoming the fastest account to reach 1 million followers (five hours and 16 minutes). “And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTA-GRAM,” she captioned the photo, referencing the beloved sitcom that made her a household name. Few people on earth are capable of having such an impact. But that’s Aniston—someone who has won hearts by wearing hers on her sleeve. After charming us as Rachel Green, the quintessential “girl next door,” she went on to lead…

WATCHING ROSE BYRNE COME UNDONE in her new film, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, feels like rubbernecking at a fiery car crash. Byrne plays Linda, a woman whose stresses are piling up exponentially: a daughter with a mysterious illness and a feeding tube; a work crisis; an absent husband; and a gaping, dripping hole in her bedroom ceiling that calls to mind the birth canal from hell. Thank God that’s not me, you think; and then, That could so easily be me. Byrne calls the A24 film, with its claustrophobic closeups and misophonia-inducing sound design, “an expression of a feeling”—specifically, the rage and helplessness writer director Mary Bronstein felt caring for her ill daughter. And if you are the type of person who knows Byrne as Aunty Brandy…

ELLE: I’m reaching you in Dallas, where you’re about to take the stage. Do you like being on the road? JOE KEERY: I do like the road. Right now, it’s all my friends, and that makes a huge difference. Otherwise we’d be spending a lot more time apart, so that part is really nice. But of course, you miss your bed. I’m looking forward to being home over the holidays. ELLE: I’m excited to talk to you about men and women and how we get along. What’s something surprising someone would learn from dating you? JK: That I’m a bit of a nerd, deep down. I was a nerdy theater kid, making movies with my friends. On tour earlier this year, my friends and I were hanging with some of…

Cartier’s most enduring motif isn’t a flower, a bird, or a butterfly. It’s a predator: a wildcat—fierce, mysterious, seductive. La Panthère has prowled the maison’s collections for about a century, shifting from high jewelry to fragrance, crossing eras and gender boundaries to become a symbol of the house’s craft. On the red carpet, the motif has become a shorthand for power, laced with Parisian chic. Earlier this year at the Oscars, Zoë Saldaña, who made history as the first American actress of Dominican descent to win an Academy Award, wore the Panthère Versatile, a transformable choker in onyx and diamonds capped with a panther head and a 10.10-carat Zambian emerald. At the BAFTAs, Timothée Chalamet gave the panther a new edge in a white gold necklace with an onyx-spotted feline…

FOR THE FANCIEST FACIAL IN NYC Dior Spa New York Dior’s first permanent U.S. spa sits at the top of its newly renovated flagship store on Madison Avenue. Massages and scalp treatment add-ons are among the offerings, but the crown jewel is its exclusive facial. The Haute Couture Treatment (shown at left), co-created with celebrity facialist Sarah Akram, is 90 minutes of oxygen, microcurrent, and glow-boosting bliss.

WHEN SHE WAS FILMING HAMNET, Jessie Buckley dreamed that she was underwater. “There’s a huge stingray coming over you,” she narrates in her meditation-app-worthy Irish lilt, “swallowing something that you’re trying to save that’s stuck behind a rock.” For Buckley, who plays a mother trying to save her child in Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel, it was one of many subconscious moments that made it into her performance. Buckley even worked with a dream coach, Kim Gillingham, to help channel those nocturnal visions into reality. In Hamnet, Buckley evokes grief in a way possibly never seen onscreen. Though it’s a cliché to say an actor disappears into her roles, she really does subsume herself into the part of Agnes, William Shakespeare’s wife, as she has in so many…

“I’VE BEEN ASKED TO LEAVE MOST PLACES, except for acting,” says Renate Reinsve. “That’s the only place that I really belong.” Girl Scouts wasn’t a good fit and working at her family’s hardware store didn’t work out, either, but when she was cast as a fox in a school play, something lit up within her. “I was like, ‘What has this fox eaten today? Where has it been?’ No one taught me how to do that, but that’s what acting is,” she says. From that unlikely debut, she would go on to become a celebrated stage actress in Norway—and now, a Hollywood darling. Reinsve, bright and spirited, arrives for her interview with wet hair and no makeup, dressed in a short Nike skirt, an oversize shirt, and loafers. She’s on…

The appetite for Sinners has been ravenous, to say the least. Released in April and now one of the highest-grossing horror movies of all time, Ryan Coogler’s film is an erotic fever dream of vampires, romance, and blues, starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as Smoke and Stack, twins who return home from Prohibition-era Chicago to open a juke joint in 1932 Mississippi. And yet, as has become a signature of writer-director Coogler (Black Panther), it is often women’s motives, flaws, and desires that drive the story. Wunmi Mosaku—who made a lasting impression in Lovecraft Country and Loki—is both soft and unflinching as Annie, a hoodoo healer mourning the child she lost with Smoke. Hailee Steinfeld—Oscar-nominated at 14 for True Grit and a subtle, magnetic lead in The…
