SCREEN TIME

Three films we can't wait to see.

Impossible Beauty

Sometimes, more is more: Surreal lashes and extreme nails put the fierce back in play

Blossoms Dearie

Dynamic, whimsical florals and the humble backdrops of upstate New York make for a charming study in contrasts.

HOME

Six years ago, Marc Jacobs got a call about a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Making it his own, he writes, would be about love, commitment, anxiety, patience, struggle, and, finally, a kind of hard-fought, hard-won peace.

GIRL, INTERRUPTED

Anna Weyant found extraordinary fame as an artist before she had reached her mid-20s. Then came another kind of attention. Dodie Kazanjian meets the painter at the start of a fresh chapter

ROLE PLAY

Kaia Gerber is someone who likes to listen, learn, read books, go to the theater, ask questions, have difficult conversations, act, perform, transform, and stretch herself in everything she does. That she's an object of beauty is almost beside the point.

CALLAS SHEET

BOOK IT

GLOBAL VISTAS

Three new exhibitions offer an expansive view.

MONDAYS WITH MARC

Just how many Met Galas has Marc Jacobs attended? A few of his favorite guests recount fanciful nights at the museum-past and present.

THE FINISH LINE

When Edith Zimmerman became sober, she obsessed over coffee, knitting, drawing and then she found running. Compulsions come in many forms.

Nothing Like Her

Billie Eilish was adored by millions before she fully understood who she was. Now, as she sets out on tour without her family for the first time, she is finally getting to know herself.

Coming Up Rosy - The new blush isn't just for the cheek. Coco Mellors feels the flush.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then our cheeks are the back door. What other part of the body so readily reveals our hidden emotions? Embarrassment, exuberance, delight, desire, all instantly communicated with a rush of blood. It's no wonder that blush has been a mainstay of makeup bags for decades: Ancient Egyptians used ground ochre to heighten their color; Queen Elizabeth I dabbed her cheeks with red dye and mercuric sulfide (which, combined with the vinegar and lead concoction she used to achieve her ivory pallor, is believed to have given her blood poisoning); flappers applied blush in dramatic circles to achieve a doll-like complexion, even adding it to their knees to draw attention to their shorter hemlines

Different Stages

A trio of novels spirits you far away.

The Wizard

Paul Tazewell’s costumes for the film adaptation of Wicked conjure their own kind of magic.

THE SEA, THE SEA

A story of survival on a whaling ship sets sail on Broadway. Robert Sullivan meets the crew behind the rousing folk musical Swept Away.

STAGING A COMEBACK

Harlem's National Black Theatre has been a storied arts institution in need of support. A soaring new home is shaping its future.

Simon Says

Simon Porte Jacquemus, much like his label, resonates with the sunny, breezy French South-but behind the good life, as Nathan Heller discovers, is a laser focus and a shoulder-to-the-wheel work ethic.

MOTHER SUPERIOR

The character of Rose in Gypsy is the acting Everest for many one-name acting legends. This fall, Audra McDonald takes it on.

WALK THIS WAY

THE FASHION FOR OUR FUTURE MARCH HAD A SINGULAR PURPOSE: TO GET OUT THE VOTE.

Written in Stones (and Etched in Metal)

Three years after taking the reins at Bottega Veneta, Matthieu Blazy unveils his first fine jewelry collection.

Northern Light

Long an escape for British royals, Norfolk is fast becoming a creative haven.

An Un-Still Life - The vibrant paintings of Hilary Pecis pulse with energy.

On an uncharacteristically overcast afternoon in August, I meet Los Angeles-based painter Hilary Pecis at her Eastside studio. The largescale works for her new solo show, "Warm Rhythm," line the oblong warehouse walls and are getting touched up in preparation to ship out, bound for a September opening at the David Kordansky Gallery in New York.

Out of the Box - A biopic –made from Legos – for Pharrell Williams.

Anyone unfamiliar with Pharrell Williams’s background would be hard-pressed to make out his origins given his vast remit: designing Louis Vuitton’s menswear collections, overseeing a skin-care line, manning a digital auction house. Was he one of those Central Saint Martins guys? The heir to some crazy fortune, just seeing what stuck?

The Numbers Game - Age has long been like a board game: Hit 40, and you can no longer pass Go. But all of that is now changing, says Maya Singer.

All of a sudden, I couldn't stop crying. For some reason, around the turn of the year, I was waking up in tears. Then, the rest of the day, any little thing would set me off: train delays; a remix of Whitney Houston's Greatest Love of All playing at the gym; showering, weirdly. To say this was uncharacteristic would be an understatement. I am pathologically level-always quick to steady myself. Until now. I was a black hole, future dimming, my weeping the weeping of a collapsing star. What the hell was going on? Maybe, a friend offered, gently, as I wept to her over martinis, this is perimenopause.

Giddyup Cup - The storied Austrian glassware maker Lobmeyr looks to the American West.

Over the course of Lobmeyr's two-centuries-and-counting, the company has supplied drinkware to the House of Habsburg, collaborated with Josef Hoffman and the Wiener Werkstätte, and lit up Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House with mesmerizing starburst-shaped chandeliers. This fall, it explores a new kind of frontier with its first-ever cowboy-themed collection. Launching this month, the Marfa Collection includes six tumblers and a pitcher inspired by the mystical town in Texas. It's a collaboration between the family-owned glassmaker, currently run by three cousins (Andreas, Leonid, and Johannes Rath) whose family has worked for the company for six generations, and Douglas Friedman, the well-known interiors and fashion photographer.

What's Going On With Pants? - The current (and oft-confusing) proliferation of them mirrors our lives today

We all have our ways of processing the world. The pastoral setting had put me in mind of Jonathan Anderson's fall 2024 Loewe show-its countrymanor-through-the-looking-glass vibe. One striking thing about that collection was its smorgasbord of trouser silhouettes: balloon-shaped cargos; swishy harem pants; one style I can best describe as überjodhpursexplosive volume through the thigh, tapered at the waist and calf. This is a very incomplete list.

Shape Shifter - Who is Lady Gaga now? A Hollywood superstar, a pop innovator, and a much happier, more grounded creature altogether. But as Jonathan Van Meter discovers, she's still an ever-evolving puzzle all her own.

Who is Lady Gaga now? A Hollywood superstar, a pop innovator, and a much happier, more grounded creature altogether. But as Jonathan Van Meter discovers, she's still an ever-evolving puzzle all her own.The first four or five or six times I encountered Lady Gaga, in London or Paris or New York, backstage in Vegas or Madison Square Garden or the O2 arena, at the top of the Skytree in Tokyo or from inside a giant replica of her fragrance bottle at a party at the Guggenheim, or even when, six years ago, we hung out in her kitchen in Malibu and danced and cried while listening to music-Like, real Italian style, she said-every single one of those times, in all of those places, she was both there and not there. She was viscerally present and accounted for but also somehow absent. This is not a complaint.

WOMAN TO WOMAN

Chemena Kamali's debut for Chloé was notable most of all for the way it connected with so many. Chloe Schama meets the designer whose name is on everyone's lips.

In Wonderland

Coach creative director Stuart Vevers and husband Ben Seidler's country cottage on 40 rolling acres is filled with antiques, flea market finds and their gorgeous young twins.
