The Surreal Life of Tyla - Inside the dizzying, meteoric rise of a true African pop star.

The night before the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Tyla was unusually calm. The South African singer was about to give a surprise performance at the Prelude to the Olympics, held at the Fondation Louis Vuitton and attended by celebrities from Zendaya to LeBron James.I was asked to do the event by Pharrell [Williams, Louis Vuitton Men's creative director], so it was insane-an instant 'Yes, she says. Sometimes I'm nervous, like I'm really nervous. But this time, Tyla looked forward to the show the entire day.

Wellness - Amazing Grace - Actress Toks Olagundoye was making people laugh on TV while managing intense treatments for breast cancer.

My work makes me really happy, says Toks Olagundoye, an acting veteran who plays Olivia Finch on the Paramount+ reboot of Frasier. That's one reason she stuck with the hit show's first season despite a shock diagnosis: During the course of preparing for and filming the series, as well as Paramount+'s Fatal Attraction, she underwent chemotherapy and six surgeries to treat breast cancer. Feeling healthy ahead of Frasier's Season 2 launch on September 19, she talks to ELLE about her healing story.

Shanghai Rising - An international fashion presence and an appreciation for the city's own talent are powering a renaissance in China's largest city.

A year ago, Louis Vuitton wrapped the giant warehouse space housing Fotografiska Shanghai in electric blue. The occasion? "Nóng Hó, Shanghai" (Shanghainese for "Hello, Shanghai"), a four-week cultural festival of book clubs, architecture tours, and live music to promote the maison's City Guide Series. "Everything was built in 48 hours, whereas in London that would've taken weeks," says Shem Jacobs, a recent transplant to Shanghai and Fotografiska's director of partnerships, Asia. "The efficiency here is really amazing."

The Un-trad Rise of Nara Aziza Smith - Her from-scratch cooking videos regularly go viral to the tune of 20 million views, inspiring awe, rage, and memes galore. but if you ask smith about it,

It's 10:30 a.m. in Beverly Hills, and Nara Aziza Smith wants truffle fries.Is that crazy? she asks me, flipping her freshly done box braids behind her shoulder and adjusting the straps of her white lace midi dress.We both stick out a bit. On the patio of the Terrace café at the Maybourne hotel on North Canon Drive, the crowd is mostly older, mostly male, mostly white Hollywood-exec types. We are noticeably younger and even more noticeably the only two biracial Black girls sitting for brunch. The patio looks over a pristinely manicured garden. Everything is so perfect, it almost looks Al-generated.

Mr. Armani's Universe - Over the past five decades, Giorgio Armani has constructed his own cinematic world out of fashion and with an ambitious new project in New York, now you can live in it too

When I meet Mr. Armani- never Giorgio, even to those in his inner sanctum-on the eve of his 90th birthday this past summer, he is at home in Milan, surveying his light-dappled Japanese garden as construction work takes place. Though he is smaller than you might think, it's here that the portrait of the man behind the myth, one of fashion's last eponymous titans, reaches full scale. "I love being at home. It's my safe, placid space," he tells me via a translator. "The biggest misconception about me is that I am cold and distant. In truth, I am a shy person who cherishes affection from a close circle of loved ones."

Her Own Way - As one of the most beloved K-Pop Idols, Jennie is always thinking about what her fans want from her. but what does she want for herself?

When Jennie steps out in public, it is practically an act of bravery. The mononymous global pop star, fashion icon, and, most notably, member of the record-shattering K-pop group Blackpink is so inundated with paparazzi at Fashion Week and obsessed over by fans at shows that even the most mundane aspects of her life can trigger international news cycles. The majority of her adulthood has been a commitment to country and fandom, so she's practiced in being observed; when she notices it, she sits up straighter, smiles a bit brighter, works a little harder. She can't place when that started happening exactly, but it's something she's learned she can turn on, especially when she performs: "Anyone who meets me will say I'm so far from what I represent as me onstage," she says.
