If you’re familiar with the Myers–Briggs personality test, I’m an ENFP, which means I’m an extrovert. But there are lots of different sides to me, and each one is connected by a common thread. Even though being called a “multihyphenate” makes me cringe, at the end of the day, I love everything I do. I’ve never found it frustrating to go back and forth between comedy, writing, acting, rapping, and producing because I’m truly grateful for the work. My brain will gladly contort itself to make sure the job gets done. Growing up in New York City taught me a ton about creativity. There was a real grit to walking down the street that fed into a hard-core hunger and drive. Something was always just out of reach. I remember…

T, Please We’re longtime fans of stylist Karla Welch (pictured) and her cult-hit line of timeless basics. The latest addition? This special T-shirt for InStyle emblazoned with a charming “Je Suis Badass” logo. Smart Mouth Our team tested over 60 lipsticks to fine-tune four key formulas (a matte and a creamy red, a shine-free neutral, and a sheer berry) that everyone needs in their arsenal. Goody Bags We couldn’t pick just one Clare V. carryall to customize, so we collaborated with the designer (pictured) on two: a roomy graphic tote and a playful fanny pack with painted-on eyes.…

Whether she’s draped in neon or dripping with sparkles, Lizzo isn’t afraid to subvert traditional style rules. “There needs to be something that reminds people not to take life so seriously,” explains her stylist Marko Monroe. “It should be sexy with a wink.” Case in point: the star’s unforgettable Valentino dress and teeny-tiny purse from the American Music Awards last year. “The combo started as a joke but looked ultra glam,” says Monroe. “After all, isn’t fashion supposed to be fun?” “One of my favorite things about working with Lizzo is that she reminds people to have fun on the carpet again.”—MARKO MONROE, stylist…

You’ve been best friends since you met on the set of Jack & Jill in the ’90s. What do you remember most about each other’s looks back then? SARAH PAULSON: Amanda loved the parachute pants from Abercrombie & Fitch. We thought they made our asses look particularly good, but our asses were actually just good back then. [laughs] AMANDA PEET: You wore a lot of Juicy Couture sweatpants too. And didn’t you wear a shrug to the première of The Whole Nine Yards [above]? SP: I wore shrugs on our TV program, not in real life, my friend. To that première I wore a sparkly dress from [the L.A. store] Polkadots & Moonbeams. I do remember my hair, though—someone took a small-barrel curling iron around my whole head. I was…

When the quarantine was still new and people didn’t yet understand the life-changing impact the coronavirus would have, concerns of a more cosmetic nature were nagging at those who had the luxury to dwell on them. I’m talking about thin lips, crow’s-feet, and jawlines that are less Chris Evans and more Mitch McConnell. Talk-show host Kelly Ripa even took us behind the scenes of a Hail Mary session with her dermatologist. “There is a very serious medical problem going around right now,” she said in a mock-earnest tone. “What is it?” Without missing a beat, her doctor, Robert Anolik, responded, “It’s a Botox deficiency.” Now, five months into the Quar, many ladies remain fillerless. Gone are the smooth foreheads and supple pouts of yore, as Juvéderm and Botox bottles lie…

MOVE TOGETHER Struggling to work out at home? Find your motivation: “I’ve always been more inspired by crowd energy,” Q says. So she logs on to OmStar.com, which connects people with live yoga classes and over 100 teachers. CHECK YOURSELF Are you taking supplements because you think they’re good for you or because you know they are? “Ask your doctor to test your vitamin and mineral levels,” Q says. See what you’re deficient in, then supplement accordingly. “Otherwise, you’re shooting in the dark.” TRUST YOUR GUT In her 20s, Q saw a doctor for general physical discomfort and discovered a problem: “He said, ‘You’re not absorbing nutrients.’” So she learned the importance of gut health and teamed up with Dr. Frank Lipman, an expert in integrative medicine, to launch Activated…

WHERE TO GO I was first drawn to the Hudson Valley when I heard about the Hortus Arboretum & Botanical Gardens (1) in Stone Ridge, N.Y., about a two-hour drive away from my home in Brooklyn. It’s such a hidden gem; the owners are extremely knowledgeable about plants and happy to share their expertise. I learned about some of the oldest trees in the area, many of which have been around for hundreds of years. WHERE TO SLEEP AND EAT Home base for my stay was a charming Airbnb rental on the grounds called the Barnette. It has a large wooden porch overlooking the forest and is decorated with fresh flower bouquets. I spent my time there relaxing in the sun, sampling in-season fruit, and eating my meals outside. When…

How did you meet Hattie? This past January I adopted her from an organization in L.A. called 4 Paws Kiddo Rescue. I’d always rather find a dog that needs a home than seek out a specific breed. What made her stand out? At the time, I thought she was giving me special attention, but now I realize she’s friendly with everyone. And she can be such a little lady—much more of a lady than me! How so? She has a funny habit of tucking her front paws under her body like a deer. It’s very odd; I’ve never seen a dog do it. And she sort of prances when she walks in a very pulled-together way that I admire. What’s the inspiration behind her name? It’s short for Harriet. I…

Drew Barrymore brings her legend with her everywhere. But it’s one she wears with grace. Given her infamous Hollywood childhood, Barrymore could have become, with a few more steps in the wrong direction, another cautionary tale. But she didn’t, instead growing up and decisively creating not only her own work—moving from in front of the camera to behind it—but her own world. That said, Barrymore is not insular, removed, or overcautious. If you follow her on Instagram, you will remember jolly videos of her exiting the New York City subway praising Mondays, of all things. Barrymore’s famed optimism remains undimmed (there should be a daisy named after her by now), but these days it’s grounded in a much richer pragmatism. At 45, Barrymore is the mother of two daughters, Olive,…

Moving to Hollywood with no contacts, no money, and no job was easily one of the most badass things I’ve ever done. I had the bravery to believe in myself and know that I was going to succeed. But I’m not sure if acting was ever my passion; philanthropy has always held that spot. I have an older sister with special needs, and I was born into a world of giving back. It’s been a constant in my life since childhood. When Desperate Housewives became a hit, I realized that I had a louder voice and a bigger platform that I could use to reach more people. I can now create impactful, sustainable change with my philanthropic endeavors. I’m not an expert on anything, but when it comes to activism,…

RED ALERT This season is filled with beautiful bags, but the new creative director of Tod’s, Walter Chiapponi, knows how to make this one stand out: with a striking quilted diamond-and-dot pattern inspired by the brand’s iconic studded-sole loafers. As for the cheerful color? Consider it the cherry on top. Double Take Devotees of Jenni Kayne’s laid-back L.A. staples are sure to find a favorite new swimsuit for themselves—and the minis in their lives—in this collaboration with Mikoh. CLOSET CLASSIC Cuyana There’s no end to brands offering basics these days, but Cuyana’s commitment to sustainable supply chains and ethical manufacturing is tough to match. The clincher? The pieces are just plain cute. High Time Known for her line of statement heels, designer Amina Muaddi partners with Fenty on the type…

“There’s no better time to experiment than when you’re stuck in the house for months.”—JULIA SCHLAEPFER JULIA SCHLAEPFER: Lily, I remember years ago, when I was having a bad day, my dad took me to see Cinderella to cheer me up. And when I saw you onscreen, I was like, “Who is this person? I want to emulate everything about her.” LILY JAMES: Aw, thank you! You’re brilliant in The Politician—so composed and icy. Matt [Smith, James’s boyfriend] also has the nicest things to say about working with you on Charlie Says. JS: Matt is the best. And I think you’re electric in everything you do. You always look so cool on the red carpet too. LJ: I’m sure that’s not true. Recently my mum has been getting angry at…

Sarah Tanno has created every iconic Lady Gaga look in recent memory, be it the star’s crystal-studded Super Bowl eyes in 2017 or her inspired David Bowie tribute at the 2016 Grammys. So what does it take to reach that stratospheric success? “It wasn’t easy,” Tanno says. “People think you just get lucky and find that one person… [laughs] I didn’t make money for the first 10 years of my career. I’ve had to move home and start over again. I’ve been a waitress, bartender, club promoter—I’ve done it all. But [makeup] is not just part of my job; it’s a part of me. It runs in my veins. It’s who I am. I dream it. I wake up and do it. That’s what you have to know if you…

How are you and everyone in your house doing? We are OK; we’re healthy. But it’s been like an emotional roller coaster. Where do you turn when you want to feel good and put a smile on your face, even if it’s just for a moment? That’s a tough one right now. Watching cat videos on Instagram, I swear. They always make me smile. I’ve been doing it way more lately. We got a cat, Honey, a year ago and then got another, Pumpkin, a few months later. Honey has his own Instagram, @honey_apatow. They sleep on our heads and cuddle with us. If you’re staying home, are you the type who does her hair and puts on a lip, or are you more low-key? Hmm, I’m in the middle.…

The last thing Ellen King would call herself is trendy. Yet during the quarantine, the humble co-owner of Hewn bakery in Evanston, Ill., found herself smack in the middle of a new American obsession: baking bread. It’s a hobby as old as time, which is exactly what countless people had on their hands while stranded at home. It wasn’t long until King was fielding questions from converts as far away as Hungary who had discovered the magic of combining flour, yeast, and water. “It became like avocado toast,” jokes King, who runs Hewn with her wife, Julie Matthei, and is also the author of Heritage Baking: Recipes for Rustic Breads and Pastries with Artisanal Flour from Hewn Bakery. King and Matthei initially met through King’s bread club and later fell…

I’ve always been jealous of “talkers”—you know, people who can bullshit their way through their jobs, out of parking tickets, or into first-class lounges. When I worked at Google, it was usually a product manager who would come into a meeting, talk in circles, throw around a buzzword or 50, and walk out looking like a key team player despite the fact that no one was even sure what he’d said. I’ve never been able to pull that off. I’ve always felt the need to choose my words very carefully or, better yet, not say anything at all. And for me as a black woman in a white-male-dominated industry, it was often the best option. Black women usually don’t get the luxury of faking their way through life and still…

JAMIE LEE CURTIS Three days before my 35th birthday, I was in the Florida Keys shooting the movie True Lies. There’s an exhilarating sequence where my character is trapped in a runaway limousine on a bridge that has been destroyed and my husband [played by Arnold Schwarzenegger] is in a helicopter, pulling me up. My brave stuntwoman, Donna Keegan, did the majority of the work, but for that scene I was wired to the helicopter, and the stuntman double [for Schwarzenegger] was wired to the skid. I flew that way for 20 minutes to the shoot location, with James Cameron, the director, filming from the passenger seat. We did a couple of takes and flew back as the sun was setting. As I was hanging there, I thought I was…
