Hear that? Like a gentle whisper chanting your name? Those are your legs thanking you for breaking them out of skinny-jean prison and into leg paradise—the extra-wide pants that are everywhere these days. The streetstyle favorites (spotted here in Paris) are surprisingly flattering, but we’re not kidding when we say they’re big: You could hide three pairs of tights, some sweatpants, even an entirely different outfit underneath if you’re feeling chilly. (Heck, you can fit four Newfoundland puppies and Donald Trump’s ego in these pants if that’s your thing.) Just be sure to pair them with a fitted top to balance the bulk, and heels to keep the hem from dragging. Voilà: You and your haul are ready to go. Steve Jobs Chic! Many have copied the late Apple exec’s…

Eyes Up Here! Whether you’re at a romantic dinner or a brunch with friends, a shoulderbaring top—and a single statement earring—decorate you perfectly from the waist up. “I’m a firm believer in being an individualist,” says Jack Novak, 27, the DJ who models the looks on these pages. “I would throw on a leather jacket and boots with this.” Preen by Thornton Bregazzi dress (net-a-porter.com). Salvatore Ferragamo earrings ($220 for pair, select Salvatore Ferragamo stores). Jennifer Fisher cuff ($655, jenniferfisherjewelry.com). M2Malletier bag (Bergdorf Goodman, NYC, 800-558-1855). To do her slicked hair with volume, apply dry shampoo to roots, tease the crown, and gently comb it back.…

It was this moment at the spring Céline show, here, that fueled our current lipstick obsession: opaque, velvety, pure red lips paired with a face that had little else going on than a swipe of eyeliner. “There’s something so cool about a red lip with minimal makeup, because it looks effortless and fresh,” says makeup artist Diane Kendal, who did the show. Her essential tools: the classic blue-based matte red MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo (lipstick and a pencil, $17 each, maccosmetics.com), a lip brush, and transparent loose powder. “I fill in lips with the pencil,” says Kendal, “and then really work the lip-stick in with a brush. Next, I use the pencil to perfect the edges.” She dusts the powder on top to make it stay, but for everyday…

Psychiatrist Julie Holland, M.D., notices the pattern every winter: “My phone starts ringing off the hook during the holidays, and that ‘high stress season’ doesn’t end until April,” says the author of the book Moody Bitches. The causes are many—less light, less exercise, worse diet—but the solution is simple. Learn these strategies to keep your switch from being flipped. Your partner/sister/cat can thank us later. Sit up straight for one minute. Sense crankiness coming on? Good posture increases testosterone and reduces cortisol, lowering stress. It’s science, bitches! Try it! No skipping breakfast or working straight through lunch. When glucose levels run low, your claws come out. Consider: In an Ohio State University study, men and women were given a voodoo doll and told to stick pins in it based on…

So you land a job working with one of the country’s top luminaries. What comes next? After you pick your jaw up off the floor and get comfortable making watercooler chitchat with one of your idols, you start to learn—from watching, and from listening. That’s what happened to the six women profiled here. We’ll let them tell you the rest. Michelle Obama taught me… …That I Belonged in the Room “As one of the few people in the residence with the President and First Lady before official events, I’d find a thousand things to do rather than brief them about the heads of state or delegation they’d soon be meeting downstairs at a private reception: I’m naturally shy, and I was nervous. The stakes are high! The First Lady realized…

While Die Hard is fixed securely in my pantheon of all-time faves, I continue to bump on the angry reaction of Bruce Willis’ John McClane to his estranged wife, Holly Gennaro, using her maiden name. It was a long time ago, so let me refresh your memory: He walks into the building lobby, spends several minutes searching for the name McClane in the directory, and finally finds his wife under “Gennaro.” When he gets upstairs, he starts a big fight about it. Why men seem so threatened by women keeping their maiden names, I will never understand. (Also: Can you imagine if dudes were expected to change their names to stuff like Slutsky or McFlappen?) And I remain convinced that if Holly were the one looking for her spouse, a…

Mars is 35 million miles away. It’ll take up to 9 months to get there, if you even arrive. In first grade Jessica Meir made a drawing of herself standing on the moon. Turns out she underestimated her own ambition: Today, at 38, Meir could become the first human to touch down on an even farther destination: Mars. A next step for man? Yes, and a giant leap for womankind. The mission itself is at least 15 years away—it will take that long to build and test every last piece of equipment. But it’s already the most hotly anticipated space-exploration effort ever. Governments around the world—in China, Europe, and Russia—have plans in the works to at least land robots on Mars, while in the U.S., private companies like SpaceX are…

In the December Glamour, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of our Women of the Year Awards, honoring trailblazers from Reese Witherspoon to the U.S. women’s soccer team. But Caitlyn Jenner—honored for raising awareness about LGBT issues, and actually the second transgender woman among our 397 past winners, after Laverne Cox last year—drew the most feedback: hundreds of letters and 4 billion mentions in tweets, articles, and comments. Some were passionately supportive, some viciously opposed, some appallingly violent (“Kill yourself please,” one man wrote to our editors). In the spirit of more civil conversation, a few of your comments: I’ve seen friends on Facebook trash Caitlyn Jenner and say that other women were more worthy, but as a member of the LGBT+ community, I want to thank you for honoring Caitlyn…

Your How-to: Chic, dark nails (try the polish at left) add a little edge to a superfemme outfit. “I love the softness of this look,” says Novak. “I would glam it up with a furry overcoat.” Sacai dress (select Saks Fifth Avenue stores). Djula earrings (Djula, NYC, 646-869-9585). Nina Ricci necklace (ikram.com). For more easy date-night outfit ideas, go to glamour.com/fashion/outfit-ideas.…

STOPPING TRAFFIC Designers Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia with artist and muse Tali Lennox, center, in downtown Manhattan. “We’re inspired by hardworking women who own a look,” says Kim. Monse top, pants, shoes, net-a-porter.com. Go to glamour.com/magazine for more shopping information. When industry insiders at New York Fashion Week this past September started buzzing about new label Monse (pronounced “mon-SAY”), the collective reaction was “Mon who?” The line and its two young designers, Laura Kim, 33, and Fernando Garcia, 29, were relatively unknown, and yet their clothes were being spotted on major celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker and Amal Clooney before the collection had even hit the runway. And let’s be clear: In the hypercompetitive world of fashion, there’s no such thing as beginner’s luck. As it turns out, Kim…

To keep my pores clean, I alternate between two clay detoxifiers. And for extra glow I drink Garden of Life Perfect Food Super Green mixed with…

Imagine: A future sociologist is attempting to document the complicated romantic mores of 2016. She turns her focus to the men of the era, trying to figure out what, exactly, women valued in a male partner. She scours the extant records of the day: Instagram and Tumblr, a few men’s magazines, possibly an episode or two of True Detective. After studying this source material, she comes to a conclusion—the Ideal Man of 2016 is a scruffy, manbun-wearing dude who is stylish enough to pull off Drake’s sweater collection, even though he has a hint of dadbod. He loves feminism and memes, and he usually rides a hoverboard to work. He also just might be Justin Bieber. MEN OF THE MOMENT The Guys Who Make You Laugh Talk about a year:…

GETTING SPOOFED Fiorina announces her candidacy, and of course the Saturday Night Live impersonation (by Kate McKinnon) quickly follows. RALLYING IN N.H. Fiorina and her husband, Frank, walked in the Labor Day parade in Milford, New Hampshire; at press time, she was in eighth place in the state. TALKING TOUGH Fiorina “won” an early GOP debate—but in later debates was accused of lying about things like Obama forcing out notable military generals. SHOWING PUPPY LOVE Every politician has to do the latenight circuit; Fiorina sang about her dog, Snickers, on The Tonight Show in September.…

F ederica Marchionni, 44, has had the kind of job that would land her in this column not just once but three times: She started her career in the mostly male telecommunications world, climbing the ladder at companies like Samsung and Ericsson in her native Italy—then leaped to fashion, to become the well-regarded North American president of Dolce & Gabbana. And then last winter she surprised me and the fashion world by jumping to Lands’ End, trading her Euro-glam life to become CEO of an all-American company started for sailors. Why? “The world is big,” she explains simply. Yes! I headed to her New York City office to hear her embracechange philosophy. But first I had a question…. CINDI LEIVE: Is it true you considered changing your name to Karen…

In Literature Jane Austen gave us literary heroine Lizzy Bennet—and the outline for basically every great rom-com ever. In Art Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits anticipated the selfie by 60 years. (They’re also masterpieces.) In Music Taylor Swift’s ultra-confessional songwriting launched a musical empire and encouraged young girls to write their own songs. On TV And Broad City brought us the fromance (yes, that’s female bromance), which is just as sweet and raunchy as the male version.…

Singer Ellie Goulding is known for her honest, raw lyrics. So it’s no surprise she’s equally upfront about her relationship with Dougie Poynter, 28, bassist in the pop-rock band McBusted. The two are popular tabloid fodder—are they on again? Off again? “I’ve been busy; he’s been busy. We’re apart constantly,” says Goulding, 29. “But we’re great because we accept it’s never going to be perfect.” Now on tour for her third album, Delirium, Goulding opens up about being a musician and dating one. On going out with someone in the business: “Dougie and I have such different musical worlds, but he understands when I’ve had a tough rehearsal or tough couple of days traveling. I don’t like to rely on him to get me through everything, though. I’m an independent…

How I got this color: I was 10 years old the first time I colored my hair. I had a very cool mom! I really wanted red hair, so she thought it would be fun to put on a color rinse. When I was young, I was very much into Anne of Green Gables, and Anne had red hair. I also watched Gilligan’s Island, and of course I loved Ginger, and even though I Love Lucy was in black-and-white, I knew she was a redhead. There was just something about her…something sparkly! In high school I started to color my own hair, and I never turned back. I tried almost every color of the rainbow: pink and purple and bright red but also a really deep brown, and then for…

Cushnie et Ochs designer, @carlycushnie How I got this color: When I was younger, I used to chemically straighten my hair, so I couldn’t relax and color or I would have no hair left at this point. So when I finally decided to leave it natural (in 2003, the year I moved to New York), it was my first opportunity to experiment with color. I started with some very subtle lowlights, and then I progressively went lighter and lighter. Sometimes even too light: Once I had someone besides my regular colorist [Erik at Shampoo Avenue B in New York City’s East Village] do my hair in London, and it went horribly wrong—it was so patchy I looked like Dennis Rodman! But it helped me get to my current color, which…

The Textured Updo Fascinating beauty fact: The look here, from the Alexander McQueen show, was created not with a curling iron but with needle and thread. Hairstylist Guido Palau literally “sewed” little loops of hair all over. To get the same partly ruched effect without a sewing kit, part hair down the middle (it’ll work best if it’s slightly dirty). Starting from the top of the head, twist small pieces away from the face, securing with pins. Continue this move down the full length of hair for a wispy, pulled-back effect (leave the ends free). From the front the style reads as slightly tousled, but from behind it’s otherworldly. The Gold-Accented Twists Ready for something super feminine with a touch of glam? The ethereal updo here, at Alberta Ferretti, is…

I have always maintained a strong opposition to marriage because I would have to be in serious denial to pretend I wasn’t born with a personality for divorce. Whatever the opposite of amicable is, that’s how my breakups tend to play out. Recently I went to Netflix and told them there were a few topics— some personal and some not so personal—I would like to examine for a documentary series, a kind of bridge to my upcoming talk show. First and foremost among these topics would be marriage. I’m single, so my question is: Why do people do it? Over the course of three months spent investigating, I’ve learned a lot. Here are my Dos & Don’ts: DO enjoy being single. It’s a huge opportunity to figure out your own…

Your How-to: Turn up the cool factor of a ruffled dress with simple silver jewelry and a sleek middle part. “My personal style is relaxed,” says Novak. “I’d pair this with ripped boyfriend jeans and simple sneakers.” Erdem dress (saks.com). EF Collection earrings ($625, efcollection.com).…

Upping the Ante “I always wear four-inch heels,” says Posnett, in New York City’s Financial District. “Even when running through the airport! My go-tos are pointy-toe pumps.” Altuzarra dress. Lila Rice necklace. Jennifer Fisher cuff. Chanel clutch. Jimmy Choo heels. “I want to look approachable—while maintaining power and authority.” HER JOB: Kim Posnett, 38, is cohead of Internet investment banking at Goldman Sachs; she travels a full five days a week advising digital clients around the world. “My style needs to respect the boundaries of being a tech person and an investment banker,” she says. “Plus, it needs to be versatile enough to accommodate my job duties, whether I’m negotiating a deal in Silicon Valley or visiting investors in Boston.” HER LOOK HERE: “ I like sheath dresses that can…

I’ve been a Bond fan since I was a kid, and Bond girls have always excited me. They’re the only source of emotional conflict in the Bond films: They show up to tempt the hero, thus causing all kinds of character development. In Casino Royale, our Bond girl is the mysterious Vesper Lynd, who has a backstory to trump Bond’s. So what would Casino Royale look like if Vesper were the protagonist instead of Bond? Like this: Vesper Lynd, the daughter of a mafioso kingpin, has spent the last four years in quiet bliss with her fiancé, Yusef. She’s left her violent past behind, but when Yusef is kidnapped by the terrorist organization Quantum, she agrees to help the group win a $115 million poker game to get him back.…

Four years ago Glamour’s cover featured a little-known Kentucky-born actress named Jennifer Lawrence, “on the cusp,” we wrote, “of being mega-famous.” Since then, well—let’s recap. She’s done blockbusters (X-Men). She’s nailed complicated roles (and in the process become the youngest actress ever to have been nominated for three Oscars; she’s won one). She’s broken barriers: As strong-willed Hunger Games protagonist Katniss, Lawrence proved that (gasp!) an actress actually can carry a huge movie; Catching Fire was the first film with a lone female lead to top the annual domestic box office in 40 years, and Lawrence is now the highest-paid woman in Hollywood. She’s face-planted up stairs in Dior couture, danced on Billy Joel’s piano with Amy Schumer, and probably done something hilarious you once shared as a GIF. At…

1 Pigtails for Grown-ups… Some old-school styles deserve a comeback. Here’s how to do them the adult way. Fact: You probably haven’t worn pigtails since the early nineties. But if there were ever a time to revisit the style, it’s now, whether you opt for a classic low version, as at Miu Miu (see the model postshow, far left) or the sophisticated twists from Marni, below left. Still not convinced? Then let the Chanel “pigtail barrette” that hairstylist Sam McKnight used—the first of its kind!—at the house’s spring show sway you. (Cheat the look by securing two pigtails with elastics and using a wide clip over the top.) 2 …Or Bitty Braids The easiest and most foolproof way to add a little edge to your second-day waves: Braid a few…
