For La Bouche Rouge, the Road to Sustainability Begins With Desire
Lately a sphinx-like riddle has been making the rounds in beauty circles. What is the most sustainable brand? The answer: The one that does not exist. That counter-intuitive notion—success by sitting out the game—came to mind on a recent afternoon in Paris, as I arrived at the storybook department store, […]
Kyle Abraham on Transcending Time and Finding Lightness in Requiem
Consider Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor, unfinished by the composer at the time of his death in 1791, as a deliberate incomplete sentence, a poetic invitation open to reinterpretation over the ensuing 231 years. Its latest evolution takes shape in the hands of choreographer Kyle Abraham, whose transformative evening-length work, […]
Kaia Gerber on ‘The Office’ Memes, Summertime Scents, and the Genius of Carol Burnett
Kaia Gerber is in a flourishing, long-term relationship, you might say: with sun-warmed fields, gauzy white dresses, and Marc Jacobs Daisy. When the model signed on as the fragrance face in 2017 (ten years into the perfume’s blockbuster run), it was an inspired choice. Who better to personify the feeling […]

Gwyneth Paltrow, figurehead of aspirational living, has a great many things under control.

Julianne Moore on the Fallacy of “Anti-Aging” and the Covid-Era Resonance of ‘Safe’
Julianne Moore, master interpreter of uncanny domestic life, is smiling at me from a facsimile of her home. “This is a rental, but still all the same stuff,” the actor says over Zoom, gesturing to the Thomas Struth photograph behind her, depicting a primeval, vine-strewn forest. It used to hang […]
Fire Island’s Matt Rogers Has a Sunscreen Rec for You
If the quintessential summer flick involves full sun, sculpted biceps, and courtship antics, then Fire Island is reason to hit the theaters. Set in the titular East Coast enclave, the queer rom-com (based on Pride and Prejudice) takes its ensemble cast from underwear rave to beach. The off-camera best friend […]
16 Beauty Leaders on Reimagining Packaging for a Sustainability-Conscious Age
This may sound like a familiar scene: You’ve reached the final pump of a beloved serum or the last inky swipe from a mascara tube, and before you go to chuck the vessel, you take a look and wonder, “Can I recycle this?” For many beauty products, the answer is […]
Zendaya on Her Cultural Impact, Partnering with Smartwater, and the Y2K Styles She’s Happy Haven’t Made a Comeback
It’s Zendaya’s award-winning world, and we’re lucky to be living in it.

Idris and Sabrina Elba on Launching a Beauty Line With ‘Coupledom‘ at Its Heart
Idris: It’s the basic essentials. For me, I work long days, long hours. I’m not unfamiliar with skin routines because in film and television every day I have makeup on. But for me, in my everyday life, it needs to be nice and simple, and it needs to be effective. […]
FKA twigs on Perfume as Spiritual Communion and the “Journey of Moving Forward”
FKA twigs, if not exactly clairvoyant, has a crystal-clear lens on the present. “I have fallen back in love with music, danger, trying new things, sex, love, raves,” she wrote in a recent Instagram post. No more careful cocooning. It’s time to live—holy rites by earthly means. “I’m definitely […]
