Harper's Bazaar May 2014

EXTRA! E-Edition exclusive THE PREFALL PIECES TO BUY STYLIST'S TIP Pair your culottes with a cropped or a tucked-in top. KEEP IT CULOTTE Leave your skinny trousers in the back of your closet in favor of something a little roomier. Culottes are making a comeback, and they're chicer than ever, whether perfectly creased or pleated. Anchor the roomy style with a substantial ankle boot or a brogue. STYLIST'S TIP Swap your peacoat for this equally preppy topper. TOGGLE IT Our unlikely style icon this season? Paddington Bear, the cuddly British toggle-coat enthusiast. We have a soft spot for this naval-inspired coat (also known as the duffel), a utilitarian classic that gets top honors in its new luxe fabrications. STYLIST'S TIP Wear your suit with oxfords or sneakers for a masculine…

When it comes to beauty, one thing is certain: Women today have more options than ever. In our Beauty issue, we spotlight the best of them—from new products, tips, and trends to breakthrough treatments, like fat-melting injections (page 252), and promising procedures for banishing cellulite (page 272). Makeup maestro Pat McGrath gives us her 24 hours (page 116), and renowned hairstylist Guido Palau answers your questions, such as the one thing every woman should try before getting a drastic cut (page 86). And, of course, there's our cover girl, Kate Moss, who shows why she continues to be the very definition of modern beauty (page 238). Enjoy the issue. Noel Stewart headpiece, $3,361. lovehats.com.

Here at Bazaar we're head over heels for all things beauty. Our May issue is devoted to the subject, and Bazaar beauty director Alexandra Parnass pulled out all the stops to deliver the greatest and the glossiest in the business. First, we photographed Kate Moss, one of the most stunning women alive—and, at 40, more fabulous than ever. But there's nothing more beautiful than creativity, which was celebrated in all its forms at the Fall 2014 collections. Take Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel show, where he dreamed up a giant Chanel supermarket inside the Grand Palais. Not that we needed encouragement to shop—especially when the clothes came out. Watching the models push their carts through aisles of Coco Choco cereal and Chanel-branded madeleines was, for many, too much to resist. Some guests…

Backstage at Marc Jacobs, Fall 2014 Dolce & Gabbana, Spring 2014 Louis Vuitton, Spring 2013 Prada, Fall 2012 Versace, Spring 2012 What are your five must-have products for women? They're all Redken. Thickening Lotion, and Argan oil, a multipurpose oil that strengthens the hair as it gives it a shine. Powder Refresh, a dry shampoo, is very easy to use, makes your blow-dry last longer—it's a must. And I know women don't like hair spray, but there's one called Fashion Work 12 that's a pliable spray. It's soft but has hold, which I love. Don't be afraid of hair spray. And Quick Tease is a great texturizer that I use. It gives volume straight to the root. Do you prefer long or short hair on women? I like that collarbone-length…

Bazaar beauty director Alexandra Parnass shares her makeup, hair, and skin must-haves I have never worn blue eye shadow—until now. The trick to keeping it chic is to go sheer on your lids and blend it with a graphite shade. Copper works too. These from M.A.C. (1) and Laura Mercier (2) are my favorites. Of course, there's no way to pull this off if you've got dark circles under your eyes—Olay's brightening concealer (3) works instantly. Balenciaga's limited-edition metallic fragrance bottle (4) is display-worthy, and the violet-infused scent is feminine and elegant. Back to blue: I feel naked without lots of eyeliner, so I layer this gel-smooth Marc Jacobs pencil (5) over my usual black. The sleek locks seen at Dior (6) will just look so right with spring's beautifully…
