  Last night’s Emmy Awards ceremony was a historic moment for Carl Clemons-Hopkins. The star became the first nonbinary performer to ever be nominated in one of the acting categories, for their supporting role as Marcus in Hacks. This came with a lot of weight. “I’m super grateful for it, but it’s somewhat daunting to me having been othered [for being nonbinary], and now I’m being celebrated for it,” says Clemons-Hopkins. “I’m hoping and praying that this will be something humans that encourage people—and the industry—[to realize] that are humans, and humans are more than two genders. How a human has nothing to do with if they can play the part.”In the end, Clemons-Hopkins used their red carpet looks to celebrate and acknowledge the non-common people. “A lot of the lies we’ve been told about sexism are really just about fashion,” Clemons-Hopkins said. “It goes back to the saying ‘only girls wear skirts.'” Well, that’s not true. To do so, the star worked with Christian Siriano on a ...

Furthering the joy of dressing up, there were the stars that unapologetically turned up the dial on their above-neck look. Keke Palmer complemented her glittering, disco-ready gown with a voluminous mane, soft-gold dusted cheekbones, and gilded onyx wings, while Julia Garner completed her icy chic ensemble with razor-sharper crystal-encrusted eyeliner and a deep pink lip. As for the rebels, Maisie Williams did not hold back in playing off of her avant-garde Thom Browne gown, sporting The Matrix-inspired bleached brows, a shiny sculptural updo, and black and green talons. And it didn’t get more fierce than Naomi Osaka, who paid tribute to her Japanese-Haitian heritage with a beauty look that centered on monochrome crimson makeup and a gravity-defying updo featuring woven plaits and fanned out, wing-like lengths.Ah, and the nostalgia: Leave it to Yara Shahidi to stunningly channel American-born French icon Josephine Baker, incorporating the performer’s signature kiss curl into a veiled, ...

  When artist and model Ivy Getty became engaged to photographer Tobias Engel, she knew that she wanted to wear John Galliano for Maison Margiela on her wedding day. “John Galliano has always been a favorite designer, and I knew he would bring the vision of the dress I wanted to life,” Ivy explains. The 26-year-old granddaughter of Gordon Getty (the last remaining son of J. Paul Getty and a fixture of San Francisco society who helped fuel the rise of Governor Gavin Newsom and Vice President Kamala Harris), and one of the heirs to the Getty family oil fortune, said her vows at 6 p.m. last night at City Hall in San Francisco, wearing a dress designed by Galliano and composed of four layers. “The bottom layer is a full corset matched to Ivy’s skin tone with slightly padded hips to give that smaller waist. The second layer is a tulle dress cut on the bias. The third layer is a white tulle dress, which creates a kind of filtrage. And the final layer is a mirror fragment dress, which isn...

  The industry can fully celebrate its accomplishments the night of the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards. Dubbed the “Oscars of fashion,” the event acknowledges the artistic achievements of the designers, creative directors, and innovators who keep the business relevant. Given the premise of the evening, the dress code encourages the exceptional (Rihanna’s glittering naked dress, anyone?). Still, forays into camp territory are rare. Instead, the ease and elegance that have made American sportswear stand the test of time serve as guideposts when guests plot out their looks.Even when their outfits are bursting with color and overflowing with detail, the people who stand out at CFDAs honor the codes of American style. Tonight the pack was led by fashion icon award recipient Zendaya, who, in a vibrant Vera Wang crop top and matching skirt  showcased why she’s the youngest person ever to take home the prize. Host Emily Blunt dazzled in a sherbet tone Christopher John ...

  The entirety of New York’s fashion community headed to the Upper East Side on Wednesday evening for the CFDA Awards, but across town at the Intrepid Museum, a style moment was already in progress. The Salute To Freedom Gala received a jolt of star power thanks to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who made a grand arrival in coordinated eveningwear. With the palace dress code no longer a factor, the couple were free to embrace all-American glamour. As such, Harry went for a streamlined tuxedo and bow tie, while Meghan dazzled in a custom Carolina Herrera design by Wes Gordon.Daring by royal standards, the red silk faille gown featured a plunging neckline and fitted bodice that accentuated Meghan’s waist. A leg-revealing slit added to the look’s sultry side, but the gown’s full skirt and train were classic. As usual, Markle stuck to her minimalist tastes, wearing her hair slicked back and restricting her jewelry to her wedding ring, bracelets, and subtle diamond drop earrings.While t...

  The moment you descend onto St. Barths (descend is literal—one must take a nose dive to land on the West Indies island), you know you’re in for something spectacular. The crystalline waters are dotted with yachts, often of the mega variety, and the beaches filled with sunbathers wearing Eugenia Kim hats and basket bags from Loewe. Nestled into the hillside are white villas with red roofs and sprawling vistas ahead of them.First, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (née Markle), penned a passionate open letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to advocate for paid family leave. Then, word trickled out last week that she’d cold-called at least two Republican senators—Shelley Capito and Susan Collins—about the issue, which currently hangs in limbo in Congress. Blowback quickly followed: After Meghan published her letter, Republican Rep. Jason Smith pounced, saying Meghan and Prince Harry should be stripped of their royal titles based on their “interference in U....

  About a month before the pandemic, a friend reached out to t.a. boutique owner and buyer Telsha Anderson-Boone, proclaiming she had the “perfect person” for her. After giving her friend the green light, Telsha invited Justin Boone, who works as an assistant costume designer for film and TV as well as a stylist, to accompany her to the t.a. boutique opening in March 2020. “Of course that was postponed due to COVID-19, and we were encouraged to get to know each other [remotely] during lockdown,” Telsha remembers. “Three months of quarantine later, we were ready to spend some real face-to-face time together, and after multiple negative COVID tests alongside months of quarantining, we spent a month together in my New York apartment. Before we knew it, we were in love!”Holidays, birthdays, store openings, and other monumental events had passed in the blink of an eye, and Justin was eventually pulled onto a costume project based in Montana for a six-month period. “Thankfully, our time ...

  There’s a certain art to traveling in style—and your rollaboard luggage has much to do with it. Opting to pack your belonging into one of the best carry-on luggage cases serves as a reference to how you take care of your things, what you like to do in your free time, and where you like to travel. They are a small glimpse of your lifestyle. So, whether you’re jet-setting to Le Barthelemy in St. Barts for the opening of their new restaurant Amis or heading to Vienna for the holiday shops, it’s important to make sure that your carry-on luggage represents you best.In fact, when I observe my fellow travelers (people-watching is the best way to burn time at the airport), I take notice of their carry-on luggage before anything else. A leather duffle indicates a sense of refinement while rolling steel-cased luggage suggests something more serious and corporate. Canvas totes mean someone is headed to someplace warm and loves to relax, while large backpacks make me think that the wearer is...

  Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old who fatally shot two men and wounded a third during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer, was found not guilty on five counts of homicide and other charges after three days of deliberations by the jury.Over several emotional days of testimony, Rittenhouse claimed he had acted reasonably to defend himself, and on Friday, the jury (which was predominantly of white) appeared to accept his argument, despite being shown a drone video  of Rittenhouse shooting the three men—Gaige Grosskreutz, Anthony Huber, and Joseph Rosenbaum—with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle. Lawyers for the estates of Rosenbaum and Grosskreutz released a statement calling for peace instead of violence and saying, “What we need right now is justice, not more violence. While today’s verdict may mean justice delayed, it will not mean justice denied.” President Joe Biden was asked about the Rittenhouse verdict by reporters on Frida...

  For 20 years, Carolyn Murphy has served as a—if not the—face of Estée Lauder, imbuing her all-American looks and charm into the heritage beauty brand’s iconic campaigns. “We’re in New York where it all began,” Murphy told Vogue last night inside French restaurant Majorelle on 63rd street, where Leonard and Aerin Lauder hosted an intimate dinner in honor of the milestone anniversary. “When I did the test shoot 20 years ago, I knew as soon as she walked in, and after speaking to her and seeing her beauty, that she was the perfect face,” recalls Aerin, creative director of Estée Lauder, of their first meeting. “20 years later, she still is.”Beautiful, elegant, strong, and wise are just a few of the words that Aerin used to describe Murphy as guests—including Jessica Stam, Paloma Elsesser, and Paul Andrew—began arriving to toast the veteran supermodel. “She embodies all of that and grows into the role more and more, which is quite extraordinary,” she continued, adding that she’s cult...

  I recently lunched with a dear friend and fellow voracious reader on her 94th birthday. We had both absolutely adored Bess Kalb’s memoir No One Will Tell You This But Me and discussed it over baked goods, but we felt similarly lukewarm about a forthcoming royal biography. Despite our bond as like-minded bibliophiles, I broached what can be a controversial topic hesitantly: Does she finish books she doesn’t like, or—I dangled an awkward silence—give up? Her answer was swift: “At my age, I don’t have time for bad books.” And, really, why should any of us?I am a books person. I’ve been reading steadily since I first learned how, building from Sweet Valley High to Sally Rooney. I’m also a type-A person—a hand-raiser raised on gold stars and assorted forms of validation. I was taught not to be “a quitter” (though I now question why “quitting” has been branded as an identity and not merely an action). This set me up for a toxic, occasionally torturous mental exercise when it came to fi...

  In recent months, I have been astounded, in a good way, to see the rarest of sights in the celebrity wild: Divorced and otherwise uncoupled women over 35 living their best lives with new romances of their own. As she divorces Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, 40, appears to, indeed, be dating Pete Davidson—SNL star and Hollywood’s favorite seasonal boyfriend—who happens to be 12 years her junior. Kourtney Kardashian, 42, who has never been married but had a torturous on-and-off relationship with Scott Disick, is now crazy in love and engaged to rocker Travis Barker, who routinely showers her with extreme flowers. Their fellow goth couple friends, Megan Fox, 35, and Machine Gun Kelly, 31, are similarly subverting the usual trope. Following Fox’s split from ex-husband Brian Austin Green, she was the first to move on with a new, now highly public relationship with the rapper. In the case of Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis’s split after eight years together, she is the one globetrotting wi...
