After 33 years in show business, Viola Davis knows who she is. “I know what’s good and what’s bad,” she says in our cover story. To reflect that sureness, stylist Elizabeth Stewart dressed the Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom actress in bold suits from Balmain, Gucci, and Kenneth Ize for our Pacific Palisades, Calif., shoot. Among Davis’s favorite looks was a houndstooth Wolk Morais ensemble, which she declared was “larger than life and audacious-rebellious.” Despite piling on heavy layers in the 100-degree heat, she danced nonstop to a Beyoncé playlist, especially when “Run the World (Girls)” blasted over the sound system. But the party came to a halt when, with two shots still to go, the electricity suddenly went out on set. “We had to finish before we lost the natural…

Hey, Curl friends If your textured hair needs some TLC, add these powerhouse products from Black-owned brands to your winter wash-day routine GLOW UP After Kerry Washington spent years primping for public appearances, it took a pandemic for her to realize she doesn’t need a red carpet to pamper herself. “I’ve had to check myself because a lot of my self-care has been structured around looking good for others,” she says. “Like making sure my ankles have lotion on them before I walk a red carpet, or making sure my brows are perfect for a photo shoot.” At the beginning of quarantine, the actress admits, she let a lot of her beauty routine go. “I knew I couldn’t just say, ‘Well, I don’t have anywhere to go, so I won’t…

WHY YOU SHOULD GO It’s hard to choose a single spot in Vermont because it is beautiful everywhere year-round. But the Burlington area is perfectly located for taking day trips and has some of the state’s best food and shopping. I suggest it to anyone who wants to enjoy an urban setting while being surrounded by nature. WHERE TO STAY AND WHAT TO EAT The Inn at Shelburne Farms is on the grounds of a working farm that overlooks Lake Champlain and a great choice if you want something scenic and remote. In town, I’d recommend Hotel Vermont (1) for its rustic-modern feel; it’s also just steps away from live music, art, and farm-to-table restaurants. If you want a real culinary experience, try Hen of the Wood—its daily rotating menu…

Why did you decide to get a henhouse? It started several years ago with my son’s turtles: They seemed unhappy because they were banging on the glass of their aquarium. So I anonymously joined an online turtle forum and learned not only that we should be housing them in an outdoor enclosure but that they interact well with chickens. Then I watched a Martha Stewart video about how great it is to own chickens. I thought, “If Martha Stewart has them, then I need them too.” On your Quibi show, Nicki Fre$h, you rap about things that are important to you, like gardening and the environment. Do you have a track about the birds yet? I don’t, and I think they’re pretty pissed about it. But I do have a…

“There is only incertitude,” said Natacha Ramsay-Levi in early September as she was still figuring out whether Chloé, where she has been creative director since 2017, would put on a spring 2021 show. These things always take a lot of planning, even without social distancing, lockdown restrictions, and economic chaos threatening future sales. And normally Ramsay-Levi works well in advance of her deadlines. “While I was under confinement,” which she spent at her apartment in Paris with her 7-year-old son, Balthus, juggling Zoom calls and meals and homeschooling like the rest of us, “I came up with this saying: hope and resilience.” Rather than a simple inspiration, it became a credo for the team, whom she managed from a distance as well. But this collection, for obvious reasons, came about…

My mom, Courteney, has always been my best friend. When I was growing up, she was so beautiful, sweet, and caring, all while raising four loud children. She was stylish too, and whenever I would snoop around in her jewelry box as a little girl, I loved this gold bracelet the most. I think my dad [Richard Cox] bought it for her when she was in her early 20s. And by the time I came along, when she was 29, it was her signature piece. It was always on her wrist, whether she was at a cocktail party or lying out in the sun in a bathing suit and a beautiful hat, lathered up in Bain de Soleil. When I think about my mom at her happiest and most lively,…

GIRL ON FIRE What a stunning [October] cover! Cynthia Erivo is fire! As an African-American subscriber, I could not wait to see the rest of the photo shoot. Thanks, InStyle, for this beautiful and diverse issue! —KENDA TIBBS, Lansing, Mich. Even after all these years, magazines are still one of my favorite ways to gain inspiration. There’s nothing like the feeling of turning the page and feeling that rush of excitement from an outfit, a look, or an article. Growing up I always collected magazines, ripping pages out and organizing them into little binders, categorized by what I liked. I say my binders were the original Pinterest —@FINDMEON57TH BIGGER THAN FASHION As a longtime subscriber to InStyle, all I can say about your September issue is, “Wow!” Your goal to…

SHEER GENIUS When this saucy Stella McCartney dress landed on the scene in 2011, it was an instant hit with the red-carpet set. (Jane Fonda and Kate Winslet are just a few of the celebrities who have worn it.) This season the design returns as part of McCartney’s latest collection: 26 looks—one for each alphabet character—inspired by the brand’s values, from A for accountable to Z for zero waste. The letter attached to this iconic style? T for timeless, of course. Classic Move In partnership with the Outnet, British fashion fixture Laura Bailey creates eight elegant wardrobe staples for a cause close to her heart: Save the Children, which supports underserved youth around the globe. Prints Charming Sarah Flint teams up with interior-trimming company Morris & Co. on a special…

The most memorable thing about this actress’s style is not what she wears but how she wears it. “Her energy comes across as easy and fun,” says the star’s stylist Jason Bolden. “I think that’s why people are drawn to her; it always looks like she’s having a good time.” It also helps, of course, that Shahidi has an innate sense of cool, which guides all her fashion decisions. “When I see Yara in fittings, she’s in a great T-shirt and pair of vintage cutoffs,” Bolden says. “That’s the exact vibe she evokes on the big red carpet—she’s just putting heels on.” “There’s a bit of fun and laughter behind all of Yara’s looks.”—JASON BOLDEN, stylist…

1 HALIMA ADEN The outspoken Somali-American model is in demand worldwide. One of the secrets to her gorgeous, lit-from-within glow? Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. But with more free time, she’s busy being a new dog mom, cooking up skin-care concoctions in her kitchen, and pursuing hobbies that make her happy. “Being that I live in Minnesota, where George Floyd was murdered, there has been this extra layer of emotion and desire to seek change,” she says. “Self-love for me has always been my commitment to showing up for the Black community.” Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation, $64; sephora.com. 2 CLEO WADE Wade, aka the Millennial Oprah, consoles the world with her thought-provoking poetry. As a new mom, she also takes time for herself by lathering her skin in post-baby products…

BOOKS Hamnet (1) “Maggie O’Farrell’s novel about the son of a playwright and the son of a glove-maker deals with love, grief, and a dangerously opportunistic flea.” Apeirogon “Carefully weaving time and place, Colum McCann recounts an unlikely friendship between an Israeli and a Palestinian who have both lost daughters in war.” The Lonely Century “Noreena Hertz explores modern loneliness and its impact on our health if we don’t fill our existential holes.” Girl, Woman, Other “Bernardine Evaristo’s interconnected stories follow the joys and struggles of 12 British Black women over decades.” PODCASTS Criminal “I’ve recently become obsessed with all things crime-related. This is a perfect fit.” Code Switch “NPR reporters tackle issues of race, culture, and politics head-on with nuanced perspectives.” The Daily “A day feels off without my…

Twenty-twenty feels like a clunky first draft of a screenplay. It’s lame writing, and I don’t believe it. It reads like some sort of on-the-nose morality play with obvious themes. [laughs] First of all, my daughter was born in March and is, quite literally, the same age as the pandemic. During an outbreak of an illness that affects the respiratory system, she was immediately put on a ventilator because she had fluid in her lungs. On the nose. That same night I found out my friend Adam [Schlesinger, the Emmy-winning music producer] was also on a ventilator with COVID-19 in New York. Even more on the nose. I had no idea he even had COVID. And then, a week later, he died. While I was nourishing new life, I was…

If I write anything, it will be from memory. This is what I told my agent over Zoom in September, referring to my lack of note-taking since March. Then I made a gesture meant to encompass all of 2020, but the connection was bad, and my smaller screen froze within his larger one. He said it looked like I was karate-chopping 2020. That sounds nice. But what to chop and where to begin? It is carved into the pyramid walls that each year should end with its survivors expressing glee over its conclusion. Those who’ve had professional and personal successes must sit by and watch as their beloved year gets told to go perform sex acts on itself. This happens every December, without exception. We have short memories. You know…

I’m not a fashionable person, but I’m a very festive kind of person. I’m just comfortable in my own skin, and I wear whatever I feel good in. So all year long, I like to dress the part for every occasion. When it’s Halloween, I’m in orange and black and my sweaters with the pumpkins. If it’s the Fourth of July, I’m the one in red, white, and blue. And since Christmas is my favorite holiday, I start dressing for it on the day after Thanksgiving and keep it going well until my birthday on January 19. All the really beautiful people who have taste like to say, “Less is more.” But I think that’s a crock. For me, more is always more, especially this time of year. All throughout…

What Is the Greatest Lesson You Learned This Year? “How important human touch is.”COURTENEY COX Actress, Why I Love, p. 132 “Don’t dwell on the past or stress about the future. Just be present each and every day.”SALEM MITCHELL Model, “Lockdown Lessons,” p. 55 “Given the gift of more free time than I’ve ever had, I taught myself to turn every whine into action. And I whine a lot!”ELIZABETH STEWART Stylist, “V Is for Victory,” p. 91 “Wear a mask. It might just save someone’s life.”JEANNE YANG Stylist, “A Luxurious Man,” p. 110 “Nothing matters until you decide it does, so choose wisely and from a place of love.”ALEXA DEMIE Actress, My Style Crush, p. 44 “Tomorrow is not promised!

“It’s not just your style that I love; it’s your attitude and the roles you’ve picked.”—ALEXA DEMIE ALEXA DEMIE: Patricia, you’re a legend! One of my greatest inspirations. PATRICIA ARQUETTE: You’re so sweet. And you have some balls to pick me as your style crush. Honestly, I wouldn’t have chosen myself. [laughs]AD: It’s not just your style that I love; it’s your attitude and the roles you’ve picked. You really don’t give a fuck, but you also give a fuck, you know? That’s admirable. I’m inspired by your films from the ’90s too. Your cowgirl-skirt look in True Romance is iconic [opposite, top inset]. We used a similar look in Euphoria for a Halloween episode. PA: I loved that because when I was growing up, I was really into country…

Everyone’s convinced that your skin ages in reverse. I know you’re a proponent of drinking lots of water, but what are your other secrets? Skin care is work. I have an amazing dermatologist [Elena Jones] and get regular facials. Sleep is my other secret. It’s good for your overall homeostasis. Skin care is a perspective. Your face is one of your most valuable assets. Behind your face is your spirit. That conduit between your skin and spirit is something you should take care of. What’s your skin-care routine? It’s a three-minute facial in three steps. I use the [Humanrace] Rice Powder Cleanser. Then I exfoliate like a madman with the Lotus Enzyme Exfoliator to get rid of dead skin cells. I always rinse with cold water, which my sister Naomi…

“This is the stuff I’ve collected throughout my life. I’ve used it to make the space mine.” If there’s one thing John Derian will never run out of at a dinner party, it’s extra place settings. “I collaborate with Astier de Villatte on prints for their pottery and receive samples of every piece,” the artist and designer says, referring to the vast display of dishware with 19th-century-esque illustrations and quaint découpage (a Derian design signature) that occupies nearly an entire wall of his N.Y.C. apartment. “I do use some of it, although there’s a lot I don’t need.” One could argue the opposite: The abundance of objects in Derian’s home is key to its charm. “This is the stuff I’ve collected throughout my life,” says Derian of his warm, whimsical…

When the sun would set over the Hudson River in N.Y.C., a rose-tinted glow washed over the crowd inside chef Jonathan Waxman’s buzzy Italian haunt, Barbuto. It was during these times of peak ambience, when diners devoured dishes like roasted chicken with salsa verde or bucatini carbonara, that you could tell there was something special happening in this cozy West Village spot. “The essence of Barbuto was to keep it simple always,” Waxman says. “And everybody loved it—from movie stars to athletes to artists to normal folk who just wanted to eat. Barbuto became their canteen. That was the greatest thing.” That’s why, last year, when the building’s owners sold the space and Waxman announced Barbuto was looking for a new home, its devotees were understandably bereft. “But I knew…

For so many years I had never known a trans person other than myself. Even though I’d been “out” to my family since I was 3 years old, I wasn’t able to be my true self in public. Acting was my passion, but who I wanted to be and what I loved to do were at odds with each other. In fact, before recently landing a part on the Saved by the Bell reboot, I had never played a role that fully embraced who I was at my core: a woman. After years of keeping myself hidden away to play male characters, I reached my breaking point when I was 17. I had filmed the pilot for the NBC show Champions [with Mindy Kaling] and decided that if it didn’t…

At home in Los Angeles, Viola Davis is riding out the COVID-19 pandemic like everybody else. Also like everybody else, she has good days and bad. Today she’s on Zoom in a simple white shirt, no makeup, and a hair bonnet. Sipping a glass of water, she jokes liberally about the benefits of stronger beverages. The South Carolina–born, Rhode Island–raised Davis has been an actress for 33 years, graduating from Juilliard in 1993. She started on the New York stage, before her Oscar-nominated role in 2008’s Doubt fast-tracked her onscreen career. Davis has, so far, won an Oscar, an Emmy, and two Tonys—the fabled triple crown of acting—and is the first woman of color to do so. The last time she was on a movie set, however, was in the…

On the morning of my interview with Jason Momoa in Los Angeles, I’m jolted awake in the predawn hours by one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the city in years. Later in the day a nasty brush fire breaks out near the house in Laurel Canyon where Momoa and I are set to meet, so on my way there I’m rerouted because a trio of fire trucks is blocking the main road. If the apocalypse is slated for this very day, as it very well may be, then it’s hard to think of anyone handier to have around than Jason Momoa. Onscreen, the hulking 6-foot-4 actor has been all kinds of hard-core warriors and superheroes, and in the upcoming sci-fi epic Dune, he helps secure a hostile planet for…
