Carlijn Jacobs Photographer, “Role Play” (page 84) What’s the song of your summer? “Amore Disperato,” by Nada. If you could live in constant vacation mode, where would you move? Koh Samui—drinking fresh coconuts the whole day and eating Thai food. What are your summer essentials? Sunscreen, surfing, my camera, Belgian chocolate ice cream, 10,000 steps a day, and my friends. Joaquín Laguinge Photographer, “Fun in the Sun” (page 72) What’s the song of your summer? Tate McRae’s “Sports Car,” which I currently have on repeat. Do you remember your first summer fling? Not my first, but I do remember one in the South of France not too long ago. Funny enough, we matched on Tinder again a couple of weeks ago. If you could live in constant vacation mode, where…

Colman Domingo The Four Seasons and The Madness In The Four Seasons, you are married to Claude, played by Marco Calvani. Isn’t he gorgeous? He’s beautiful, he’s Italian, and he’s actually a friend of mine. We met a year prior to the show, at a dinner party, and we became fast friends. His husband, my husband—we all get together. I had very strong opinions about who I wanted to play my husband on the show. And my actual husband, Raúl, said, “What about Marco Calvani?” I thought, Well, I love him as a friend, and we can make some magic on camera. He auditioned and got the part. This is the first time you’ve played a gay man in a modern setting.  Yeah, I don’t have a wig and a…

Welcome to our second annual special summer issue, featuring America’s golden girl, Sydney Sweeney. In just a few short years on the small and big screen, Sweeney has shown an impressive range as an actor. She first caught everyone’s attention as the explosively sexy Cassie in Euphoria; played a bratty rich kid in the first season of The White Lotus; and portrayed the quintessential rom-com girl next door in Anyone but You. Her latest film roles—a drug addict and a boxer—should propel her career to a whole new level. Sweeney’s versatility was the inspiration for our cover story, in which she embraces a variety of characters, among them a Miu Miu prom queen, an Hermès biker chick, and a Marc Jacobs sleeping beauty (“Role Play,” page 84). What is summer…

In March, after getting knocked out of the Indian Wells Open in the semifinals, Carlos Alcaraz, the 22-year-old “future of tennis,” went to Mexico to chill and train. On Instagram, he posted a slideshow of his trip, including several photos of his mom carrying a large tote bag that said dairy boy, a tennis ball sailing between the words. The bag—part of Indian Wells’ official gifting to top players—was not made by the tournament’s laundry list of sponsors, nor by a tennis company at all. Dairy Boy is a Connecticut-inspired clothing brand by Paige Lorenze, the girlfriend of Tommy Paul, an American tennis player currently ranked No. 12 in the world. “We made two sweatshirts, a hat, and a tote bag for Indian Wells, so that’s super, super exciting,” Lorenze…

The new season of Chef’s Table: Legends traces your career from the Palm Beach Yacht Club restaurant your mother managed, where you washed dishes and cooked, to the French Laundry and Per Se, where you became the most Michelin-starred chef in America. On the show, you share a question that changed your life. You were just starting at the Dunes Club, in Rhode Island, when the chef, Roland Henin, asked you why cooks cook. You didn’t know, so he had to answer for you: It’s to nurture people. Why did that resonate? Food is emotions, right? I wasn’t cooking for guests at the Dunes Club. I was cooking the staff meal—meatloaf and chili and stuff like that. The emotional connection of nurturing really became apparent to me, and the ability…

Few accessories have ridden roughshod over the zeitgeist like Dior’s Saddle Bag. Introduced in 1999 by the house’s erstwhile creative director John Galliano, the small, kidney-shaped carryall was as emblematic of the early aughts as the era’s fashion-obsessed starlets. Originally offered in denim, beige, and the label’s signature Oblique logo print, and designed to be worn short-strapped and snug against the armpit, the Saddle was arguably the first It bag of the 21st century. At the peak of its initial popularity, the bag was practically the fifth cast member of the TV show Sex and the City—it was where Carrie Bradshaw hid her cigarettes from her boyfriend Aidan. The Saddle once again became the height of chic at the end of the 2010s, when Y2K-retro fever gripped the runways and…

On a spring afternoon in Manhattan, Sydney Sweeney was getting into character for her first ever W cover, intrigued by the idea of becoming someone else. “I like the feeling of transforming,” said Sweeney, still in her street clothes of jeans and a loose white T-shirt, her long blonde hair fresh from a shower. She had arrived on the red-eye flight from Los Angeles, where she was filming the long-awaited third season of Euphoria, the TV show that made her famous as Cassie, a sex bomb having a secret love affair with her best friend’s on-and-off boyfriend. Since the most recent episode of Euphoria aired, in 2022—in which Cassie had an emotional meltdown, garnering Sweeney an Emmy nomination—she has been extremely busy. After a captivating turn as the entitled daughter…
