I’m writing this Editor’s Letter on Day—hang on, lemme check—42 of self-isolation, or, as my Australian people call it, iso. (There is nothing Australians can’t abbreviate, apart from, sadly, this global situation.) We’re going through every emotion, it seems, daily. From passive acceptance to impotent frustration to rage to anxiety to…the wineglass. Hey, whatever gets you through, man. The one thing we can cling to is that this is an experience we are all having at the same time. I read a beautiful piece by Garrett Graff in The Atlantic a few weeks ago in which he wrote, “The most isolating thing most of us has ever done is, ironically, almost surely the most collective experience we’ve ever had in our lifetimes.” The InStyle team has that collective experience three…

We photographed Carey Mulligan in Paris on March 2, days before the world as we knew it came to a screeching halt. Strolling along the Seine river in colorful looks from Coach, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton, the British actress wasn’t daunted by chilly temps (she sported a hot-pink Chanel cropped top in 39 degrees like a champ). When it rained, she ducked into Café Louis Philippe, our home base for the day, before heading to the renowned Berthillon ice-cream shop for an afternoon treat. Once the skies cleared, we headed to the Eiffel Tower for our last shot, a pre-quarantine moment that Mulligan appreciates now more than ever. “There were huge crowds of people traveling to see the monument that day, and all of that has more poignancy now,” she…

KELSEA BALLERINI: Faith, I’m so happy to talk to you. What a time. How are you and the family doing? FAITH HILL: Everyone’s well. We’re social distancing in the Bahamas trying to stay healthy and not go insane. How are you? KB: I’m just excited to have some human interaction! I’m stuck in downtown Nashville, overlooking a very empty interstate. And I’m trying to learn how to cook. So far, it’s decent. FH: Oh, I’ll send some easy recipes to get you started. We’ve been playing cards and board games. I’m a news junkie, so anything to keep me from watching TV all the time is good. [laughs] KB: I was thinking about when I first got to know you. I opened for you and Tim [McGraw, Hill’s husband] in…

Describe your beauty vibe in a couple of words. Probably clean, moisturized, and…What’s one word that sort of captures being yourself, you know, like an unbothered thing? One of a kind—because you should always be yourself. You can look to things for inspiration, but you should be owning what you’re doing. It should be your own. You should never feel apologetic about it. You were 14 years old when you began acting on 227. What was it like going through your teens on TV? I was lucky because I didn’t have severe acne or anything like that. My mother was very healthy, drinking lots of water and eating vegetables. When I got to junior high, where you could buy your lunch, I began drinking soda. I broke out, and my mother…

1. GLOSSIER After learning about the desperate need for hand cream on the front lines, Glossier decided to donate the first 10,000 units of its new hand salve to health-care workers across the country. 2. L’ORÉAL Contributing to L’Oréal Gives Back, L’Oréal’s North American manufacturing facilities are producing an alcohol-based hand sanitizer for company employees and health-care workers. They’re also supplying organizations like Feed the Children with personal-care products and assisting partner salons and stylists by donating to the Professional Beauty Association COVID-19 Relief Fund. 3. UNILEVER To mark Unilever’s Day of Service (May 21), the company gathered support and supplies worth $12 million for those affected by the coronavirus. Many of Unilever’s brands have initiated their own relief efforts. Dove not only donated $2 million to Direct Relief but…

Just try to sidestep Rep. Katie Porter (of California’s 45th District) and see how it goes. Before taking office in 2019, the graduate of Yale and Harvard Law (where she studied under Sen. Elizabeth Warren) spent nearly two decades as a consumer protection attorney fighting big banks on behalf of working-class families. A tenured law professor at the University of California, Irvine, Porter is skilled at probing for answers. In March, Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, publicly capitulated to the whiteboard-wielding congresswoman’s argument that the CDC should pay for coronavirus testing for uninsured Americans. (The literary site McSweeney’s even wrote an ode to the office staple entitled “I’m Representative Katie Porter’s Whiteboard, and My Girl and I Are About to Kick Your…

WHY YOU SHOULD GO When my family and I first visited the area three years ago, it didn’t take long for us to fall hard for its sandy pink shorelines, crystal blue waters, and tight-knit community of locals and regular visitors. Plus, the island is only 3½ miles long, so it’s super-easy to navigate. WHERE TO STAY & EAT When it’s just my husband and me traveling, we book a room at The Dunmore (1), a picturesque boutique hotel decorated by Amanda Lindroth. Every corner is designed to perfection! But if our kids are with us, we’ll rent a local home; our favorites are Java House and Coral House. For a meal out, The Ocean View Club (2) is always a magical experience. I also recommend The Landing bar (3)…

I’ve always loved collecting records. For years I used to go to places like the Salvation Army hoping to get lucky and find an old James Brown album. But now I have a broker whose entire job is to scour the earth just to find me the best 45s. I have about 20,000 of them so far. They mean so much to me that if my house were on fire, they’d be the first thing I’d grab. So in March, as the coronavirus pandemic hit, I put about 120 of them in a box and took them with me when I left N.Y.C. to quarantine at a chicken farm outside the city. Instead of bringing the super-valuable ones, I chose albums that I had yet to explore because I wanted…

Why She’s a Badass “I do not accept that the world is going to hell,” says Christiana Figueres, co-founder of Global Optimism, an organization dedicated to social and environmental change. “Not under our watch.” This tenacious attitude served the Costa Rican diplomat well in her previous post as the executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. There she was responsible for overseeing the 2015 Paris Agreement, which united 195 countries in a global fight to lower emissions and stabilize the planet. A lot of work remains to be done, but there is still time, as Figueres points out in The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis, which she wrote with Global Optimism co-founder Tom Rivett-Carnac. “This decade will determine the rest of human life on this…

I’ve admired Carey Mulligan ever since her breakout role as a schoolgirl seduced by an older man in 2009’s An Education turned the Sundance Film Festival on its ear. Mulligan is an actor’s actor, not just commanding a role but somehow giving the sense that her character—whether it’s Kitty Bennet in Pride & Prejudice, Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby, or Maud Watts in Suffragette—has lived long before the film was made. She’s just in it, always. However, Mulligan’s next film, Promising Young Woman, directed by Killing Eve showrunner Emerald Fennell, is a new turn, a provocative, darkly comic revenge-on-bad-men tale that rings more than one bell of recognition in a post-#MeToo era. (Again, it’s testament to Mulligan’s skill that, without giving anything away, you would think she’s always been…

Dr. M. Jana Broadhurst has been on the coronavirus front lines working 20-hour days since mid-January, but it’s not the first time she’s put in such long hours. The medical director of the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit Clinical Laboratory—which is the largest of its kind in the United States and part of the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha—also closely studied the Ebola virus outbreak in 2014.” When COVID-19 hit, the 37-year-old pathologist-microbiologist and her team were among the first scientists in the country to develop a more efficient diagnostic test than the one that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had originally provided. We first spoke to Dr. Broadhurst in March, and when we checked back with her a month later, she had already started working on antibody…

“Long before everyone started wearing suits again, Cate mentioned that she wanted to wear them for her next press tour. She is kind of prescient that way.”—ELIZABETH STEWART, stylist…

I have never meditated before in my life. I’m the person who says, “I’m too busy to meditate!” But when the quarantine began, I went through a period of self-indulgence. I would say to myself, “I’m not going to the gym, so I don’t have to work out. I’m just gonna have that quesadilla and that ice cream and cocktails.” I got in the mindset of going to bed really late and waking up really late. Everybody in my house was like, “You’ve got to get in control because if you’re nervous, we don’t stand a chance.” So soon afterward, I signed up for a livestreaming meditation led by Deepak Chopra on Facebook. My family made fun of me, saying, “Oh, Mom is going to get all zen now.” When…

Whether you’re working from home, commuting in isolation, or trying to plot the future, one thing is certain: We’re all doing our best to figure out a healthyish new normal. A bright spot amid all of this gloom? Many of the beauty experts we love are getting creative and finding new ways to share their skills from afar. Hairstylist Harry Josh teamed up with John Frieda to deliver virtual video consultations that are open to those who apply via Instagram. Stylist Adir Abergel also appeared on the platform with a long blond wig to demonstrate how easy it is to trim your hair at home. “People are wanting positivity right now, not perfection,” Abergel says. To that end, he’s invited friends who are massage therapists or financial wizards on his…

Pierpaolo Piccioli WITH MIRANDA How did Miranda join your family? About two years ago my wife, Simona, saw a picture of puppies that were being given away. And from the photo alone, Simona fell in love. How did you settle on her name? We were inspired by Miranda Priestly—but as in “The Devil Wears Valentino.” We want to do a sequel [to The Devil Wears Prada]. Does she act like a big boss? She’s the baby of our house. She treats our daughters, Stella and Benedetta, as if they were her sisters and plays ball with our son, Pietro, as if he were her brother. But she really listens only to Simona. And she’ll come to me when she wants something to eat. Wes Gordon WITH BIRD Do you think…
