ON THE SCENT Now more than ever, men and women are breaking down the boundaries of gender and showing off who they are on the inside. The new luxury perfume collection Atelier Versace Fragrance features six signature unisex scents, from velvety rose to zesty Italian lemon, so everyone can find a scent that expresses who they are—no matter what.…

While sandals are always a warm-weather staple, the easiest, breeziest footwear is the preeminent It shoe, having appeared on a host of major runways—specifically, flat sandals with metal embellishments, rope detailing, espadrille soles, and ankle-wrap silhouettes. Keeping it casual has never been so cool.…

PREVENT MAKEUP MELTDOWN Summertime is synonymous with smudging makeup, but fight the impulse to add more powder to your look. When natural oils mix with powder, makeup becomes cakey. Instead use an oil-controlling primer to keep shine at bay. The exception: under your eyes. Makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan recommends setting the area with a light powder to avoid mascara smear. And even if you’re not going into the pool, use waterproof mascara. “It has longer staying power and resists transferring,” she says. PROTECT YOUR POLISH There’s an unexpected reason your manicure or pedicure doesn’t last in the hotter months. In high humidity, polish takes longer to dry, says celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann. “If your base coat never fully sets, it weakens the manicure altogether.” Her quick fix? Wait at least…

1 Nix artificial sweetener. Sugar’s reputation as the white devil is widely documented. But don’t think that swapping a regular Coke for a diet version is doing you any favors. “The body reacts hormonally and metabolically to artificial sweeteners just like it does to regular sugar,” says Brooke Alpert, a registered dietitian in New York. “Even though they don’t have calories, artificial sweeteners still produce negative metabolic effects in the body, such as decreasing satiety, so you need to eat more to feel satisfied.” “No one gains weight before 4 p.m.,” says psychologist Stephen Gullo. 2 Consume carbs last. You don’t need to forgo the bread basket entirely, but wait until after you’ve had your vegetables and protein. “We’ve done a number of studies looking at the order in which…

Red-hot. Gown, Valentino. Earrings and bracelet, Cartier. “My life motto was ‘powering through it.’ But when you power through your life all day, every day for 10 years…. It’s not really living.” In a large, stately private dining room off the restaurant at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, Demi Lovato is sipping chamomile tea. Despite the formality of the environment, she seems relaxed, in a gray Erewhon sweatshirt and matching sweatpants. In March, the 27-year-old singer released “I Love Me,” the empowering first single off her next album, due out later this year, on the heels of well-received performances at the Super Bowl and the Grammys. The appearances marked Lovato’s unofficial return to the public sphere following a near-fatal drug overdose two years ago that caused her to be…

I don’t have to use ‘Princess’ on my passport like my cousin Olympia does. But I have so many names, they didn’t all fit into the boxes on the SAT sheet.”—Talita von Furstenberg= TALITA VON FURSTENBERG & MARIA - OLYMPIA OF GREECE “I DON’T have to use ‘Princess’ on my passport like my cousin Olympia does,” Talita von Furstenberg says with a laugh. “But I have so many names, they didn’t all fit into the boxes on the SAT sheet.” Nevertheless, Princess Talita Natasha von Furstenberg, a descendant of German nobility and granddaughter of designer Diane von Furstenberg, is very much fashion royalty. Now a junior at NYU, the 20-year-old helms TVF for DVF, a boho-chic range for which Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece—or just Olympia, as TVF’s 23-year-old cousin and…

WE’VE ALL HEARD THIS BEFORE: Age is just a number, and beauty is found within. But actually seeing this come to life is another story. The three women celebrated on the following pages are part of Project #ShowUs—a collaboration between Dove, the creative collective Girlgaze, and Getty Images—which is on a mission to challenge staid notions of beauty in our society. Now in year two of the partnership, the project has a photo library that comprises more than 10,000 unretouched images, all shot by female-identifying photographers from around the globe, and available for licensing to media and advertisers. The goal? To see more authentic representations of women in all their glory—at 47, 58, 68, and beyond. A CREATIVE COLLABORATION BY HARPER’S BAZAAR AND DOVE…

IN BLOOM Destination: Umbria, Italy “From the lush landscapes and local wines to the exceptional culinary delights, this region of central Italy bordered by the rolling greenery of Tuscany is so incredible. Every corner you turn and hidden alley you encounter reveals a picture-perfect moment.” WANDERLUST Destination: Rabat, Morocco “Some consider Rabat to be Morocco’s unsung hero. I love visiting the historical landmarks that make this lesser-known city a go-to place rich in culture.” BON VOYAGE Destination: Metz, France “Leafy promenades along the river, gorgeous stained glass windows, take-your-breath-away museums—this city is a stunning summer destination you’ll want to get lost in.”…

Our editors anticipate this must-have will sell out quickly, so spring into action before it’s too late.…

A FASHIONABLE LIFE WHEN ALEXANDRA de Royere first entered the fashion world, she was skeptical. “I always thought fashion would not be enough for me,” says the former Goldman Sachs financial analyst. Even so, de Royere has forged a bold path in the sustainable luxury market since taking the reins as CEO and creative director of the Buenos Aires–based handbag brand Solantu in 2016, fusing traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design. Made in collaboration with local artisans, the caiman-skin bags, now carried at Moda Operandi and Harvey Nichols, feature jewellike clasps made from Argentinean materials like Patagonian wood and Andean onyx. De Royere works out of the headquarters of Grupo Insud, Solantu’s parent company, an early-19th-century space marked by vaulted ceilings and artwork by Anselm Kiefer. Growing up in Paris in…

TAURUS APRIL 21–MAY 21 Before committing to a group venture, you must scrutinize the details, especially if money will be spent. One or two of those involved may have rather grand notions about what is possible to achieve. You won’t want to go any further only to find that much of the thinking and planning is pie-in-the-sky. LUCKY DAY: The 1st. You’ ll take a deep breath, then say what must be said. VIRGO AUGUST 24–SEPTEMBER 23 You may be tempted to keep a problem to yourself, but by confiding in someone trusted you’ll realize that there’s nothing to feel ashamed about and nothing to fear. LUCKY DAY: The 14th. Handling duties creatively pays dividends. CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 20 While you may require time for self-reflection, don’t isolate yourself from…

RICH PLUM I Captivate is a moody berry that’s gorgeous for a night out. But if you find the shade too intimidating, Sir John recommends layering it over your go-to red to give it some depth: “Adding the base warms up the color, so it doesn’t feel too cooltoned or goth.” RUBY RED A classic Hollywood scarlet, Armored lends gravitas to your makeup. Plus, “the blue undertone makes your teeth seem really white and brilliant,” says Sir John. Keep this strong color looking modern and fresh by wearing it with a bare face and light mascara. SEXY CARAMEL I Explore “is a great neutral for women of color,” he says. “But on someone fair, it gives more of a ’70s, Bianca Jagger–inspired look.” To lean into the Studio 54 glamour,…

“COMPLETELY DRAINED” and “depleted.” Those are the words New York psychiatrist Samantha Boardman, M.D., reports hearing from her patients with increasing frequency. However, there’s a way to think about energy a little differently. “Treat it like money,” explains Sandra Lanshin Chiu, a Brooklyn acupuncturist and herbalist. “Pulling back in some areas, and making small deposits in others, can build your energy bank account.” Here, how to re-up. 1 EMBRACE NATURE You don’t need a faraway forest to reap the benefits of time spent en plein air. Just get outside daily, even if outside is a bench around the corner from your office. “Instead of reaching for an energy bar or a latte, get some fresh air, which has been shown to increase vitality and lower stress,” says Boardman. 2 TRY…

Ask any dermatologist what her number-one ingredient is to moisturize the skin and chances are she’ll reply, “Hyaluronic acid.” The hyper-hydrating molecule can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it a godsend for parched, tired complexions. Even better, it goes to work fast, plumping fine lines and returning suppleness and bounce to skin. HYALURONIC ACID When you’re in need of TLC ASAP, try cracking open one of the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.9% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Ampoules ($19.99 for seven). They contain the brand’s highest concentration of pure hyaluronic acid ever and are perfect for times when your complexion could use a plumping boost (think a week of travel, interviews, or a wedding). After one application, skin is visibly smoother and soft to the touch.…

IN 1967, TO CELEBRATE THE CENTENNIAL of Harper’s Bazaar, the magazine cast its gaze ahead to the year 2067 and offered an array of predictions and prognostications of what beauty might look like in the future. The feeling was that there would be pills—lots of them, to change the color of your eyes, hair, or complexion; or help things firm, tighten, loosen, morph, or grow. There would be at-home instant hormone analysis; light-sensitive makeup that adapted to your environment; push-button plastic “surgery”; “living” masks that would allow you to alter the shape of your features; and products formulated to withstand a range of weather and atmospheric conditions, including space travel. (How one might maintain their chic in intergalactic environs was a regular concern for Bazaar in the mid-1960s, the age…

SUNSCREEN GETS a bad rap. It’s inelegant and chalky. It causes breakouts and flares up fiery allergic rashes. It’s killing our coral reefs. And the list goes on. The latest FDA studies only drive the narrative: In findings published earlier this year, six common chemical sunscreen ingredients—avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate, and octinoxate—were found to have absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream after just a single application, raising questions of safety, especially for children and pregnant women. “The rapid absorption of these chemicals has inspired the FDA to request follow-up testing for further study,” explains New York dermatologist Macrene Alexiades, M.D., an associate clinical professor at the Yale School of Medicine. “Importantly, they did not request additional testing for the two physical [a.k.a. mineral] sunscreens, titanium dioxide and…

I really don’t think about my age. It’s just a number, but getting older has made me more patient. I’ve learned that I don’t know everything, and I’ve become a better listener. Cutting my hair was one of the most freeing experiences. I used to have long, flowing hair that was permed and required a lot of work. When I had my first child, at 26, I realized that I was spending way too much time in the salon, and I cut it off. I’m really comfortable with my natural texture and hair color now because I’m being true to myself. My mom taught me to keep it simple. She was voted Miss Tuskegee University back in the day, and she’s still very beautiful at 92. Both my parents were…

Feeling beautiful comes from the inside. Being with my children and grandchildren makes me happy, and that translates into feeling beautiful. I’ve always been confident, and this makes me feel beautiful too. My mother was a very strong woman, and she instilled self-assurance in me at an early age. I know that if I think I look great, then I do! My age doesn’t define me. I don’t feel any less beautiful now. In fact, I’ve never felt more confident than I do at 68. Each passing year makes me more resilient, and teaches me to love myself and my life. I love my silver hair. Gray hair runs in my family, and when I started seeing white hairs at the age of 26, I decided to stop dyeing my…

FAMILY SAGA In her witty new novel, All Adults Here (Riverhead Books), Emma Straub examines adolescence, aging, gender, and sexuality through the nuanced experiences of three generations of a New York family. PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER Longlisted for the 2020 Booker International Prize, Samantha Schweblin’s latest novel, Little Eyes (Riverhead Books), is a timely meditation on humanity and technology. NONFICTION Pulitzer Prize–finalist Laila Lalami’s Conditional Citizens (Pantheon) chronicles her journey as a Moroccan immigrant to the U.S. and looks at what it means to be American today.…

SEEMINGLY OUT OF nowhere, a smattering of reddish-purple squiggles has shown up on your calves and ankles. Your legs are beginning to look like an Etch A Sketch gone haywire. Where did they come from, and why? The issue stems from floppy valves that don’t open and close properly. “This causes blood to pool in the vein, making it stretch, and sometimes even protrude through the skin,” explains Luis Navarro, M.D., founder and medical director of the Vein Treatment Center in New York. In order to see the underlying vascular system, Navarro performs an ultrasound on first-time patients. “Spider veins near the surface are typically offshoots of a larger ‘feeder’ vessel that needs to be treated as well,” he adds. If your mother or grandmother have them, there’s a good…

CALI GIRL From the ombré flacon to the citrus-meets-warm-amber scent, this perfume is a California sunset in a bottle. Splash it on liberally and head to the beach—at least virtually. HAIR SUPPORT Stronger, more lush hair with less breakage: Kérastase Paris Genesis Masque Reconstituant ($62) delivers with a nourishing infusion of ginger, edelweiss, and caffeine. SPOT CHECK Sun, acne—whatever the cause, Clinique has your hyperpigmentation needs covered with Even Better Clinical Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interrupter ($84). It erases and prevents discoloration, even for sensitive types. EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED Or it will be, once you get your hands on this supercharged strobing trio. The best-selling palette has come out of retirement for a limited run this summer. Stock up now, glow forever. INTO THE GLOSS Every woman we knew…

THE BEST CLEANSERS THE BEST EXFOLIANTS IN WHAT ORDER SHOULD SKIN-CARE PRODUCTS BE APPLIED? With so many options out there, it seems like there’s no end to the combination of products you can use daily. Dermatologist Mona Gohara, M.D., likens a skincare regimen to getting dressed. After cleansing, serums are analogous to shapewear. “They do a lot of work, but they leave room for other things to go on top,” she says. In the morning, Gohara likes antioxidant serums (like vitamin C), and at night she prefers something active, such as retinol. But don’t overdo it; applying three serums at once will not get faster results. “There are diminishing returns if you apply too many actives,” she explains. On the flip side, if your goal is to reap the benefits…

USING THE LETTERS of the LV monogram as architectural building blocks, Francesca Amfitheatrof, Louis Vuitton’s artistic director, watches and jewelry, has created a range that captures the brand’s modern, innovative spirit. Designed to illustrate movement and speed, the collection offers an array of prismatic chain-mail styles and chic, stackable rings.…

It’s the homestretch: Memorial Day is just around the corner and, with it, bathing suit season. Despite how strong your prep game is, it’s rare to find someone who feels 100 percent body positive 100 percent of the time. Could we all use an extra confidence boost now and again? Sure. Can it come in the form of self-acceptance and love (and going cold turkey on social media)? Theoretically, yes. Other times, though, a simple skin-care upgrade or a 15-minute derm appointment can mean the difference between a maillot and a muumuu. Here, the most effective body-boosting options to try today. GLOW UP If your goal is more even skin color and texture, the solution is surprisingly low-tech: Exfoliate and moisturize. “Whatever the color inconsistency, after 30 [consecutive] days of…

I frequently forget what age I am. It’s just that I know so much more now. I’ve lived and experienced highs and lows, and I’ve learned what matters and what doesn’t. I’m more willing to take chances. You never know what can happen until you put yourself out there. I’m always challenging the status quo because I’m never it. Black female creative directors are super rare. There’s a certain amount of hand-raising you do just by being present and having the nerve to make yourself visible. I would tell my younger self to cool it with the self-criticism. Stop picking apart every flaw. I’d also teach her how to do a twist-out style and tell her there’s nothing wrong with her natural hair. I look at pictures of myself when…
