The first time I met Karl Lagerfeld was in Paris in 2013. I worked at Harper’s Bazaar then and was going to interview him for a show I was doing. I was nervous as hell because Karl was smart, and you don’t want to look dumb in front of smart. On the way there I remember my driver noticing my twitching. “Are you in stress?” he asked. “Oui, Guillaume, I am in stress.” The great surprise was that I didn’t need to stress at all. In his office at Chanel, Karl took one look at me and said, “Do you want to see my bathroom?” A quick zip through a side door and suddenly he was showing me his preferred brand of dry shampoo for that mythical ponytail. After that,…

“I’m a prank virgin—in both ways. I don’t even know what people do. But I’m going to Google some pranks now!”MIRANDA KERR MODEL “Kerr-Boom,” p. 146 “Zach Galifianakis bought a birthday cake for a crew member on Keeping Up with the Joneses, and the icing on top read, ‘This cake is from everyone on the crew—EXCEPT Isla.’ ”ISLA FISHER ACTRESS, Beauty Mark, p. 94 “Tyler Labine once put a whole bottle of oregano oil in my water bottle during a rehearsal day of Mad Love. I took one big swig and promptly but quietly—I am a professional—spit it all out. Jason Biggs, Sarah Chalke, and Tyler all exploded with laughter.”JUDY GREER ACTRESS, Why I Love, p. 170 “I once went as Courtney Love to a dress-as-your-fave-celeb-themed party on Sunset Boulevard and…

“Julianne has always been playful with her choices, but no matter what risks she takes, her looks feel timeless. She’s secure with herself and her style, so it allows me to push the boundaries of what she wears. We like to experiment the most with bold colors to play up her complexion and hair. Sometimes I even persuade her to wear yellow! But even when she’s wearing black or white, she always has the most incredible red accent.” HER BEST! “If you follow Julianne’s style, then you know she loves feathers,” says Fremar of this Giorgio Armani Privé gown adorned with crystal embroidery. “The wind created the most beautiful movement with her dress, so it looked especially on point in Cannes.” As for her Chopard earrings? The 52-carat emerald and…

All I’ve ever wanted to do is make people smile. As a kid, I’d make up silly stories and do impressions. I wanted to be Jim Carrey when I grew up. Seriously. I thought stand-up was the way to go, but as I got older, acting became the dream. After I graduated from high school in Gainesville, my sister asked me to go to a casting call with her. While I was there, someone asked me, “Hey, do you sing, or do you act?” I was terrified, but I thought, “What the heck?” I belted out Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” in front of everybody. One of the managers looked over and said, “I don’t think you belong in Florida.” Deep down I knew she was right. But I’d never even driven…

Ten years ago shopping for skin care at Whole Foods might have seemed inconceivable unless you were a true bohemian type. Today it’s not only mainstream, it’s chic. Large national chains like Target have been clearing more space on their shelves for a growing number of natural brands, while websites such as Credo Beauty have made a thriving business out of stocking clean products. “I do think there is a movement happening,” says actress and activist Olivia Wilde. Why now? Perhaps, as Wilde points out, it’s because we’ve witnessed the rise of organics in the food industry. As a public forum, social media has certainly played a role in encouraging full transparency when it comes to ingredients. Whatever the cause, “this is a moment when people are embracing the idea…

HAIR ICONS FISHER’S HAIR KIT I KNEW MY HAIR WAS SPECIAL …  After falling in love with [the children’s book] Anne of Green Gables when I was 9 years old. She was the first heroine I could connect with—a lot of the redheaded characters I saw depicted in film and literature were kind of evil or a bit crazy. But she was really cool and spunky. There’s an amazing quote [in the book]: “You’d find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair. People who haven’t red hair don’t know what trouble is.” A CRAZY THING I’VE DONE TO MY HAIR IS … Bleach it. For Scooby-Doo, they wanted Sarah Michelle Gellar to go red as Daphne and me to be blond [as Mary Jane]. That was a…

SAVE YOUR SKIN “I get on a flight and wash my face in the airplane bathroom,” says Ratajkowski, who follows up with a hydrating serum. “A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!” Sisley-Paris Black Rose Precious Face Oil, $235; sisley-paris.com. Dr. Barbara Sturm Facial Scrub, $70; molecular-cosmetics.com. BLISS OUT Ratajkowski enjoys getting treatments at Joanna Vargas’s serene spas. “I like her facials because she adapts to what’s going on with your skin at the time.” The Spa by Joanna Vargas at the Sunset Tower (8358 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood). ADD A SHEEN “I do my own [prep] a lot for carpets, and this is a go-to,” she says of this roll-on body highlighter. “I’ll even put it on my shins so the light hits them.” Charlotte Tilbury Supermodel…

Ciara in couture. Sandra Oh in silver. Miranda Kerr-booming in black. This issue’s major ladies have standout style It’s a sun-drenched afternoon high in the lush hills of San Diego, where Ciara Princess Harris, the R&B queen who launched her career nearly two decades ago, calls home. Much has changed in the music industry—and the world at large—since I last interviewed her in the mid-aughts. Twitter had just been born, YouTube and Facebook were toddlers, and Instagram wasn’t even in utero. The word “viral” still had a negative connotation, It girls favored Juicy Couture velour sweat suits, Motorola Razr phones were de rigueur, and crunk music—hip-hop’s bass-heavy Southern cousin—was king. Ciara had already cemented her place as a pop-culture phenom thanks to platinum-record sales and her signature choreography that was…

While it seems as if the rest of the world has been caught up in a Marie Kondo–inspired whirl of tidying up, I, dear reader, have taken the decluttering craze to the next level. For an entire year I went on a shopping diet. The rules were simple: Twelve months, no new clothes (not counting underwear and socks—I’m not a deviant, thank you very much). This was penance for a lifetime of gluttonous consumption of things I hardly needed or rarely wore. What I discovered, like so many shopping-diet enthusiasts before me, was that my relationship with fashion was not entirely healthy, and not at all rational. Day by day I cleansed my wardrobe of joy-deficient sweaters, complex-inducing jeans, and one what-was-I-thinking turquoise corduroy suit. By the end of this…

THE ADMIRER ELLA RICHARDS: Sienna, so we’ve seen each other more often since I’ve moved to New York, and you always look effortless, like you threw something on and it just so happens to look incredible. SIENNA MILLER: Aw, I could say the same thing about you! ER: What are some of your favorite things you’ve ever worn? SM: Gucci made me an amazing blue gown with a leather bodice for Cannes [right], which really stands out. Also my gold Burberry dress [from the 2006 Met Gala; far right]. I have it in silver too, and it’s so festive, I bring it out every year at Christmas. I’ll probably be a granny still squeezing into that thing. [laughs] ER: Love it! Sometimes when a designer dresses me in a full…

“The sense of fantasy in Pierpaolo Piccioli’s collection inspired the feathery lashes. And what is more fantastical than transforming the models’ eyes into flowers? Each lash was custom-made and dyed. [Producing the 20-plus sets] involved 5,000 individually hand-cut and hand-dyed couture feathers and took over 80 hours. Lining the models’ eyes and applying mascara created a stunning juxtaposition to the delicacy of the feathers.” KEY PRODUCTS Pat McGrath Labs FetishEyes Mascara ($28) and PermaGel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil in Xtreme Black ($25); patmcgrath.com.…

SARAH GIBSON TUTTLE ALWAYS LOVED MANICURES. The problem was that she had to hide them: “When I was growing up in Connecticut, my dad didn’t want me to paint my nails; he felt it was flashy,” she says. Finally, in high school, she got her first dark manicure with Chanel Vamp and wore it until the polish fully chipped off. Today Gibson Tuttle oversees Olive & June, a trio of chic California nail salons, which she founded in 2013 after a decade in equity-sales trading. Before swapping one kind of digit for another, she toyed with the idea of becoming a talent manager and traveled to L.A. for agency interviews. To prep for meetings, she’d get her hair done at Drybar and was struck by its affordability and charm. As…

BEAUTY EDITOR’S PICK…

Let’s just get to it. I have a mad crush on Sandra Oh. Every time I’ve seen her onscreen (from Grey’s Anatomy to Sideways to her recent co-hosting of the Golden Globes), she’s at the center of it all. Which is why it’s so thrilling that after a decade Oh made the bold decision to leave Grey’s in 2014 and now stars in another quantifiable hit, the delicious and complex Killing Eve. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who created Fleabag, serves as the showrunner for the BBC America series—a tantalizing cat-and-mouse game between a fetching, eyebrow-raising assassin, Villanelle (Jodie Comer), and her meek but driven pursuer, Eve (played by Oh). The second season kicks off on April 7, and if you have not caught up yet, drop this magazine right now and watch.…

Miranda Kerr is a supermodel, a successful entrepreneur, and one half of a billionaire power couple (her husband is Snapchat creator Evan Spiegel). But none of this means she’ll let her kids coast through life—especially not in a vehicle they didn’t pay for. “I told Flynn that if he wants a car, he needs to start saving now,” Kerr says, explaining why her 8-year-old son (with her ex-husband, actor Orlando Bloom) was interested in setting up a lemonade stand. “He needs to learn the importance of working for himself because I had to do that.” Hustling comes naturally to Kerr. As the founder and face of the green-beauty line Kora Organics, she has spent more than a decade transforming the company from a small passion project to a leading wellness…

LESLIE THOMPSON, Toronto @slimsilvah INSPIRED BY The Look: “Go Big … or Go Plaid” (February 2019) HOW SHE MAKES IT HER OWN Thompson juxtaposes her plaid with polka dots, but the sunny tones pull everything together. “Gray winter days call for a pop of color to chase away the gloom,” she says. LAUREN RECCHIA, New York City @northofmanhattan INSPIRED BY Instant Style: “Groovy, Baby” (January 2019) HOW SHE MAKES IT HER OWN Recchia adds a metallic clutch to her retro-inspired stripes and leather jacket to create a decidedly modern look. YULIA F. KIRPALANI, New York City @fomenkojuli INSPIRED BY “Spring Flings: Puff Pieces” (January 2019) HOW SHE MAKES IT HER OWN Kirpalani opts for a bolder, flamingo-pink version of the feather gown, cinching it with a sparkling belt.

FILM PICKS US Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, and Elisabeth Moss star in Jordan Peele’s thriller about a family whose trip to the beach goes terribly wrong when their nightmarish doppelgängers show up (March 22). DUMBO Walt Disney’s beloved fantasy gets the Tim Burton treatment in this darker tale about everyone’s favorite flying elephant.

Patty Kerr, Gail Tifford, and Shelley Zalis are on a mission to make sure girls and women are portrayed in a positive, empowering way not only in advertising but also in storytelling across all kinds of media. Their initiative, #SeeHer, operates under the premise of “If you can see her, you can be her.” In just three years their widely adopted Gender Equality Measure (GEM) scoring system, which quantifies consumer reactions to ads and content, has triggered a positive change in the way women are represented in the U.S. advertising market. After taking GEM global last year, the trio plan to continue expanding their effect on content creation with partners like Meredith Corporation (InStyle’s parent company). Recently, they sat down to chat with journalist and #SeeHer adviser Katie Couric about…

(Of course, a pair of razor-sharp kitten heels doesn’t hurt either.)…

What’s your ultimate beauty indulgence? My entire skin routine. [laughs] I probably spend 30 minutes to an hour on my skin every day—more if I do a mask. I’m obsessed with layering products so my skin is as moist as it can be. I use makeup remover, serums, drops, finishing serums, eye cream. When I was doing [the show] Sorry for Your Loss, I didn’t want to wear makeup on camera because my character was grieving, so I figured it was the best time to do a skin-care routine. Are you a cosmetics lover or a wash-and-go girl? I love makeup, but if it’s overdone, I feel abnormal—like a beauty-pageant person wearing too much. To me, beauty is whatever makes you feel confident. That’s something I’ve been thinking about a…

JUST FIVE YEARS AGO Marjan responded to hairstylist Jen Atkin’s open call for aspiring assistants on Instagram. Marjan wanted the job so badly that she moved from her hometown of Santa Barbara to Los Angeles to get it. She was Atkin’s right-hand woman for two years and got her first solo gig styling singer Kelly Rowland on Atkin’s suggestion. But it was the braided look Marjan created for her second celebrity client, Kim Kardashian, that catapulted her to social-media fame. After the moment went viral, “I was doing braids for her all the time,” says Marjan, who as a child offered her plaiting services on the beach for $20. These days, when she’s not collaborating with stars like Ashley Graham and Madeline Brewer, Marjan is the one who fields messages…

The way I designed my closet means I can enter on one side, circle around, and when I exit I’m completely dressed and ready to go,” says Camilla Freeman-Topper, one half of the duo who started Australian fashion label Camilla and Marc. “It’s a very efficient way of dressing. I have a busy household, between three children and many schedules, so it’s also my hideaway to get things done.” The space is not just practical; it is also one of the most sentimental places in her home: “I’m always inspired by my greatest muse, my grandmother. Her closet was such a special place, and one I loved to spend time in as a child.” Now, she’s re-creating the tradition with her own kids. “My oldest daughter is at the age…
