The French fashion house and the tech giant have once again accomplished what was previously unthinkable: making a gadget fashionable.

Located smack in the middle of the Indian Ocean and a solid 8,760 miles from New York City, the Maldives are the ideal vacation destination for anyone who wants to truly feel transported to the middle of nowhere. The small south Asian country is comprised of a chain of 26 atolls, each with stunning 365-views of limitless blue sea. Best known for its resorts featuring over-water bungalows, the country has long been one of the leading luxury destinations for travelers, including Sophia Richie Grai…

Set in a makeshift event space in the Tuileries gardens decorated by Indian artist Shakuntala Kulkarni, Dior kicked off Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday with the premiere of its Fall/Winter ’24/25 Ready to Wear collection. Models floated down the runway in trench coats and blazers emblazoned with MISS DIOR on the front, in muted colors like tan and black. The staid feel of the clothes and hair—a chic, tight chignon—was juxtaposed with a splash of neon pink on the eye, which Dior Makeup Creative and…

It’s not your imagination: practically everyone, it seems, has been Instagramming from Portugal lately. And while many checked out Lisbon for the capital vibes, or decamped to the Algarve for the beaches, others headed to Porto, the nation’s second largest city that has become a hub for tech, art, design, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, remote work.

Of the three couples who made it out of the pods in season 5 of Love Is Blind, only two of them survived the fateful Mexico trip, where the new fiancés are meant to get to know each other physically after weeks of only talking from behind a wall. The couple that didn’t survive—Jared Pierce (JP), a firefighter, and Taylor Rue, a teacher—burned out in such spectacular fashion that it makes you wonder what they even saw in each other in the first place. After an awkward reveal, during which JP look…

The free totes that come with each purchase from the French fashion brand have become so covetable there’s a burgeoning resale community.

Have you heard? The girlies on TikTok are going crazy for partial neck paralysis. Okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but they are getting neurotoxins like Botox, Xeomin and Daxxify shot into their neck and shoulder areas. Deemed “Barbie Botox” (because it’s meant to give you the delicate bearing of a doll, which is basically the exact opposite message Greta Gerwig meant to send) or “TrapTox,” influencers like Isabelle Lux and others have helped popularize the procedure. Botox and other ne…

From Mark Rothko’s retrospective at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris to Gabrielle Chanel’s solo exhibit in the U.K. and Grace Wales Bonner’s own curation at MoMA, here’s a short list.

It’s another unseasonably hot summer day in Paris when I approach 31 Rue Cambon, the site of Chanel’s haute couture salon, where celebrities, influencers, and society doyennes come to get fitted in bespoke looks. I’m here to meet Lara Cosima Henckle von Donnersmarck, a 20-year-old Parsons student and Dior intern who’s the daughter of Oscar-award winning filmmaker Florian Henckle von Donnersmarck and the descendant of a large and influential Austro-German family. Over the last few months, Cosima…
