So, according to magazine tropes, my January editor’s letter should be all about the new year (new you? Nah, I’m stuck with the old one for now). But, as I sit here, still firmly ensconced in 2019, I’m thinking more about the cast and crew who put this “production” together 12 times a year (and then there’s the Internet, but you’ve heard of that). One of my greatest kicks when we are finalizing a layout featuring someone I know is to send that person a little video of what we’re up to. For example, the too-chic-to-speak Sarah Paulson, of this month’s Her Best Ever (p. 36), received a dispatch of editor Jen Ferrise and designer Mariya Ivankovitser working on her page. Model and writer Caroline de Maigret saw her story,…

MIX MASTER Last fall third-generation designer Margherita Maccapani Missoni débuted as creative director of her family’s M Missoni label. Her first move? Reinventing the Italian brand’s free-spirited aesthetic with upcycled materials and bold archival prints. NEW LABEL ALERT Prasi Founded by two friends from Rio de Janeiro, the fine-jewelry up-and-comer brilliantly blends time-honored Italian craftsmanship with Brazilian modernist design. Super Visor Star-favorite eyewear line Westward Leaning (Gigi Hadid and Katie Holmes are both fans) débuts sleek ski goggles for the street-style set, complete with a fleece-lined interior and two lens options you can swap out depending on how bright it is on the slopes. Creature Features In this playful capsule collection Loewe pays homage to 19th-century designer and ceramist William De Morgan, best known for his fanciful floral and faunal…

“My look is eclectic—a real mash-up of things that are totally dictated by my mood,” says Paulson. To help translate her feelings into red-carpet fashion, the actress has worked with stylist Karla Welch for the past six years. “Right now we’re loving strong silhouettes that are feminine and edgy,” says Welch. And though Paulson’s signatures will always be “sparkle and a puffed sleeve,” it’s her willingness to transform that makes her a joy to dress. “She’s a badass because if she loves it, she wears it,” says Welch. HER BEST! One of Paulson’s all-time favorites? This fluorescent Prada gown that was customized for her from the brand’s fall 2018 collection. “The color was extraordinary, and it was made from the most exquisite material,” says Paulson. “I felt like an extraterrestrial…

Why She’s a Badass For more than two decades physician Samantha Nutt has traveled to war zones to establish humanitarian-aid programs for the estimated 420 million kids living in countries affected by conflict. Her nonprofits, War Child Canada and War Child USA, provide access to education, legal services, and job opportunities to people in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Uganda. Dr. Nutt hires mostly native staffers already familiar with their communities’ needs and works with local groups as well as international partners like U.N. Women to ensure families are fully equipped to break the cycle of violence and hardship. “We don’t approach it as charity,” Dr. Nutt says. “We approach it through a point of inclusion, partnership, and global responsibility.” “We all contribute to war in some way. The good…

Whether you’re hitting the bike or not this January, these soothing solutions will refresh your skin PEARL Jam When weaved into a hairstyle, classic pearls exude a sweet, playful charm, and celebrities and fashion designers alike are feeling the vibe.

What Will You Leave Behind in 2019? “Sizes 6 and 8, depending on the brand.”ANA GASTEYER Actress and Singer, “New Year, Same Me,” p. 40 “I initially thought ‘more of my jawline’ or ‘pulling off rompers.’ But my actual answer is: We assisted 600,000 people last year. I hope, someday, we can put war behind us.”DR. SAMANTHA NUTT Physician and Founder of War Child Canada and War Child USA, “The Good Doctor,” p. 42 “I’m taking it all with me, for better or worse.

“My dad will never wear anything he doesn’t feel comfortable in, and I’ve always taken that to heart.”—ANNA BARYSHNIKOV THE ADMIRER ANNA BARYSHNIKOV: Isabella, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. ISABELLA ROSSELLINI: I know! But I’ve known you since you were born. I’ve been friends with your father [ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov] since we filmed White Nights in the ’80s. He always makes me laugh so much.AB: There were many photos of you around the house when I was growing up. I went through a phase where I only wanted to wear boyish clothes, and my mom [ballet dancer Lisa Rinehart] showed me a picture of you in the most beautiful suit. Basically, you’ve been my style inspiration since the third grade. [laughs] IR: That’s sweet. For…

Nicole Avant lives by this guiding principle: “The more you give back, the less you have time to focus on all the things going wrong in the world.” This perspective has led her to some invaluable experiences, including turns as an actress and a music executive before becoming the youngest person and first African-American woman to serve as U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas. During her tenure she focused on women’s issues, education, and alternative energy. “It’s in my DNA,” she says. “Like my father, I get excited bearing witness to people’s dreams coming true.” Her father is music executive Clarence Avant, a self-made man from the Jim Crow South who, through hard work and a no-BS attitude, helped shape the careers of composer and record producer Quincy Jones, singer-songwriter Bill…

Christina’s Hit List Applegate sums up her current beauty aesthetic in one word: “Lazy. I’m two years shy of 50, and I’m a very simple person, so I’m sticking with what I know,” she says. That means eschewing the woo-woo trends, along with anything that goes against a natural look. “The idea of completely transforming your appearance is bizarre to me.” “Red lipstick was once my thing, but now it brings out my lip lines—same with bright or hot-pink lipstick. I need a certain shade these days or else I look like a crazy lady.” “I’m just over trying new fads. I’ve never had a celery juice or put weird things up my hoo-ha.” “I won’t do thick dark brows again—mine were so bad in the ’80s and early ’90s.…

life is full of annoying things. And I’ve found that as you get older, they only become even more annoying. It starts with going to parties and noticing that guys of a certain age who used to flirt with you no longer look your way. Then it’s feeling healthy and in great shape, only to go out into the world and have someone say, “You look tired.” The biggest shock? Waking up throughout the night to go to the bathroom. Also, realizing that you have the number of a doctor for every single part of your body saved in your phone. Getting older may not be fun, but as with anything in life, it’s easier to deal with when you can laugh about it. Like adding a little sparkle to…

In their new film, Like a Boss, Salma Hayek Pinault’s competitive cosmetics mogul squares off against entrepreneurial BFFs, played by Rose Byrne and Tiffany Haddish. For our shoot, though, the trio took an “all for one” approach as the Three Musketeers. On location at the 103-year-old Glynallyn castle in Morristown, N.J., they dramatically wielded swords, toasted with gilded goblets, and rode horses around the vast property. They kept things light between shots, dancing to ’90s hip-hop in opulent looks from Givenchy, Gucci, and Versace. As the throwback adventure came to an end, we asked our cover stars to turn their attention to the future. Behold, their 2020 essentials.

TICKLED PINK CYNTHIA ERIVO IN MARC JACOBS Whoever said less is more clearly hasn’t seen the star of Harriet on the red carpet. At the Los Angeles première of the film, the British actress chose a confection from the label’s spring collection that was ruffly, feathery, and pouffy all at once yet still left us wanting more. Puff ’n’ Stuff Go big or go home! Bubble-shaped sleeves and hems are blowing up on the red carpet. “Clothing with volume brings the drama.”—KAT GRAHAM in Balmain Plush Hour Nothing says winter glamour quite like luxurious velvet. “I felt unstoppable in this dress.”—ZOË SALDANA in Givenchy Vote now!

Let’s get started with the obvious: When did you get your signature bangs? I’ve always had some version of bangs and a bob. I think someone cut my hair that way early on, and it stuck. It’s basically a bowl cut. But because my hair is so fine, it lets me have a style without doing any work. So you don’t do anything to it in the morning? After showering, I add sea-salt and texturizing sprays to give it body. My lovely hairdresser suggested brushing the roots for a little lift as well. You’re also known for your freckles. Have you always shown them off? People tried for years to cover them up—and I wanted to conceal them when I was younger because I thought they made my face look…

Be it winged eyeliner or leopard print, feline details have always been a hallmark of style. But nothing commands attention quite like cat jewelry. “It’s powerful and mysterious,” explains ornamentation expert Frank Everett of Sotheby’s. “From depictions in ancient Egyptian jewels to whimsical designs by Tiffany & Co. in the ’50s and ’60s, the look is forever chic.” This season’s most ferocious options come courtesy of storied jewelers such as David Webb, a favorite of Elizabeth Taylor’s. “She famously said, ‘Big girls need big diamonds,’ but she also needed big cats,” says the brand’s co-owner, Mark Emanuel, citing the screen legend’s custom-ordered lion and tiger pieces. Another designer beloved by bold women? Cartier, whose signature Panthère collection was inspired by the house’s first female creative director, Jeanne Toussaint. “She was…

“Nice linens can elevate a messy breakfast with your kids into something that feels a bit more special.” Every morning I wake up, pour myself a cup of coffee, and sit in the breakfast nook,” says textile designer Heather Taylor of her favorite place in her house, situated in L.A.’s Laurel Canyon neighborhood. “I see the sun rising, and I’m able to reset and have a minute to myself.” Pieces from her namesake collection, handcrafted by artisans in Chiapas, Mexico, are sprinkled throughout the kitchen, and her matching tablecloth and pillows decorate the area where the family tends to gather. “It’s where my daughters, Marigold [2] and Scarlett [5], start their day too—so there’s a lot of commotion and fun around this spot. I think they’re going to have a…

My dog, Lily, is something else. I started looking for a dog about three and a half years ago, and when I first saw a picture of her online, she looked so cute, like a little tree fairy. I immediately got on a plane to Houston to meet her. Sitting there on the floor in the midst of a litter of Chinese crested puppies, I knew she was the one. I went through every possible name you could imagine, and then I came up with Lily because it made me think of an old chanteuse or a sophisticated actress. Her personality actually reminds me a lot of Marilyn Monroe’s. Lily has super-beautiful waist-length white hair and long pink eyelashes. She’s dramatic too; she loves everybody—but only to a point. When…
