The clothes that went down the runway Friday afternoon in the garden at the Chateau Marmont—in front of guests like Diane Kruger, Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, Russell Simmons, and M.I.A.—were only half the story at this year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund show. Backstage, a team of Frédéric Fekkai stylists, led by editorial whiz Renato Campora, was [...]

Inspired: Blush Tones
Spring can’t come soon enough for me, and it’s not just because the heat came on in my apartment this week for the first time since last winter. No, it’s because Europe’s recent runways were literally awash with my favorite, favorite shade of pink: dusky, delicately flushed, the precise shade of the palest rose petal, [...]

The Look We Loved: Derek Lam
“The word from Derek was optimistic,” said Tom Pecheux, minutes before the lights dimmed at Bryant Park’s Promenade Sunday morning. The word was also “Coney Island”—the 1981 film Body Heat, to be precise. For Pecheux and his team, that meant color—let’s call it Coney Island without the “Coney Island”—and this editor’s heart soared when the [...]

The Fall Season—In One Palette
What will you be wearing in September? Chances are, Roopal Patel— Women’s Fashion Accessory Senior Market Editor for Neiman Marcus—will have something to do with it. Combing the collections in New York, Paris, London, and Milan, it’s her job to spot the runway blockbusters and most covetable must-have-this-moment clothes, bags, jewelry, and shoes each season.

The Verdict Is In: Ouchless Wax
There are few things I dread more than waxing. I avoid it at all costs. I have investigated every possible alternative.
The only thing that could get me to even consider voluntarily walking into my version of hell was an upcoming trip to the South of France. The bikini beckons . . . and, therefore, so [...]

The $100 Shopping Challenge
One hundred dollars is nothing to sniff at, but when it comes to putting together an entire makeup or skin-care wardrobe, it’s not a lot, either. To see just what you can get for your money, we gave two stylish, savvy beauty pros—makeup artist Jenna Menard and dermatologist Elizabeth Hale, M.D.—$100 each and sent them [...]

M.A.C. Mints Marilyn
It’s 5:00 p.m., and Marilyn Minter is about to have a party. Caterers move this way and that, carrying crates of glasses and arranging hors d’oeuvres on trays, while Minter minions—the brilliant young assistants from her workshop who, the artist swears, are now better at her technique than she is—silently continue their work, dabbing paint [...]

The Sunscreen Commandments: A Word From the Pale Girl
In the hopes that the sun is here to stay—it can’t possibly rain on July 4th weekend; that just seems un-American—here is the sunscreen speech I give annually to friends, Vogue readers, and anyone else who wants to listen. Wherever you are—beach, sailboat, tennis court, rooftop, a shiny red convertible—sunscreen should be your very best [...]

Chanel Cruises with Casati
“I want to be a living work of art,” Marchesa Luisa Casati once famously pronounced. The patron of the arts and eccentric Italian aristocrat with a well-documented taste for masquerade got her wish throughout her colorful, spirited, often scandalous life—wearing live snakes as jewelry, dining with wax-mannequin dinner guests, promenading pet cheetahs on leashes dripping [...]

Summer-Proof Hair
Beauty’s got a new Brazilian to obsess over and it has nothing to do with waxing. Generically named Brazilian keratin treatments have been all the rage for their miraculous ability to relax and de-frizz all hair types with long-lasting results and little threat of damage (keratin, a protein found in hair, skin, teeth, and nails, [...]

Beauty: The Model Must-Haves
The beauty secrets of a top model are often few and far between. The familiar “I drink lots of water” refrain is generally lost on the rest of us as a surefire look-transforming plan (although it does do a lot for the complexion). When I found myself face to face with Vogue favorites Chanel Iman [...]

Met Mania: The Hair! The Makeup!
The dress was not the only massively important detail on the minds of New York’s most glamorous women last night, as they prepped and preened for fashion’s Oscars—the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala. The Model as Muse is this year’s theme, and with every major mannequin in memory—from Twiggy to Cindy, Oluchi, Agyness, [...]

We’re Seeing Red
Karen Elson has always been fashion’s favorite redhead, but we like to think we had a little something to do with reigniting the current craze for crimson when we enlisted New York colorist Louis Licari to turn runway star Coco Rocha a fiery shade of copper for our January issue. Since then, the latest beauties [...]

The most luxurious hotels in New York and Paris are opening over-the-top spas to match, like the Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf Astoria (above).
