If the Oscars are the chance to add to a designer’s winning history or break social media with the best dress of the night, the afterparties are the chance to have fun with your girls and your look. Seats at the Academy Awards are limited, but the parties to dip in and out of after are much more bountiful, so in honor of the girls and guys hitting step and repeats well after sunset, we’re rounding up the looks that are worth a second glance.

Last year, the name of the game was oddities via butt-cracks, wind-swept hair, and generally left-of-center fashion that left us wanting more weirdness. Who will take the crown again this year? Will someone wear more Dilara Findikoglu and cement her as the designer for Vanity Fair’s afterparty? Will Timothée Chalamet do one more orange look, even if he doesn’t secure his first Best Actor trophy? The sky is the limit, and our appetite for multiple looks in one night from the same star is bottomless, so without further ado, find our favorite fashion from Hollywood’s biggest night out below.

The 2026 Oscars are under way. Glam teams are taking a water break while their beloved A-listers settle into their seats at the Dolby Theatre, but we’re not taking a beat to name the most stylish stars of the night. The eleven best-dressed folks stole the show with takes on classic Hollywood beauty that couldn’t be denied — or inversions of said beauty infused with refreshing modernism. They were, simply put, the girls and guys who looked like the best versions of themselves that weren’t trying too hard.

As awards season comes to a close, the Oscars is the 24-karat gold leaf on top of the cake of what has been a marathon race to be best dressed — and as a brand, establish your dominance in the celebrity space. Two brands won the night tonight: Chanel with Jessie Buckley and Teyana Taylor, and Celine with Paul Mescal and Kirsten Dunst. Celine’s VIP presence hasn’t been strongly felt since Michael Rider has taken over, but tonight proved that after his electric show in Paris a week ago, it’s full steam ahead. And it’s no surprise Matthieu Blazy’s era-defining work at Chanel is continuing to hit. At every turn this year, his impressive CC-clad group spans generations and silhouettes so deftly, it’s no wonder his work has two places on this list. Keep scrolling to who got a spot on our roundup.

Jessie Buckley in Chanel

She’s (probably) a winner, baby! The Hamnet actress looks effervescent in this pink-and-red dress. It’s classically gorgeous, yet light as a feather with the delicate pink-sherbet chiffon floating behind her instead of weighing her down. The red satin-leather stole makes it feel sexy and grounded, and the lip matches perfectly (everyone say thank you, Nina Park!).

Teyana Taylor in Chanel

While Taylor didn’t take home the Oscar tonight, she is a shoo-in for best dressed this awards season. After seeing her front-row at the Chanel show a week ago — and seeing her wear a still-warm-from-the-model fur coat at the Chanel pre-Oscar dinner yesterday — we knew she’d be wearing a Matthieu Blazy’s design. This zebra-meets-palm-tree-meets-fringe dress is dynamic, sleek, and still packs the punch of a traditional train without relying on tulle or excessive glitter.

Elle Fanning in Givenchy by Sarah Burton

Fanning is your go-to girl for good old-fashioned pinup beauty. At every turn this season, she’s pulled out ‘40s and ‘50s silhouettes and made them feel timeless and also somehow right now. This Givenchy by Sarah Burton is pure Cinderella, and she has the ideal complexion to carry all this Disney-princess beauty. On anyone else, it would read safe, but on her, it feels like the completion of her beauty.

Odessa A’zion in Valentino

Shout out to the self-styled princess of Marty Supreme, who stuck to her all-black uniform the whole season and even designed one of her own premiere dresses. This Valentino Couture is one of A’zion’s best looks yet. It feels fresh, young, fun, and how she would wear it, including her custom Pandora jewelry.

Paul Mescal in Celine

Mescal is always a few steps ahead when it comes to the men. I pointed out the slimming of the leg in pants at Fashion Month, and this feels right in line with where the “look” is headed — and what Rider offered on the runway at Celine. This silly little jacket and bow have a relaxed panache to them that Mescal pulls off well.

Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton

Give the girl some beaded Vuitton and call it a day. Stone has stunned in iridescent looks by Nicolas Ghesquière all awards season, and this virginal, pearlescent white complements her impeccable glam. Her commitment to the ‘90s bit pays off in dividends, providing a refreshing antidote to the heavier looks on the carpet.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Armani Privé

Armani on Oscars night is a surefire recipe for success, and while Paltrow isn’t nominated for an acting trophy, maybe she will bring Marty Supreme luck in this stunner? The subtle geometry of the cutouts make this feel sexy, and the traditional neckline, glam, and jewelry prove why her beauty and style are eternal.

Renate Reinsve in Louis Vuitton

Where everyone said “more,” Reinsve said “less.” This is a risky choice for such a glamorous night and some might find it too casual or pulled back, but the hair and makeup help her pull this off. It’s capital-H Hot, which is rare for the Oscars, and the red is a bold choice in the sea of black and white.

Miyako Bellizzi in vintage Christian Dior

Bellizzi is nominated for her work on Marty Supreme as the costumer behind Timothée Chalamet’s ‘50s workwear. She’s also a fashion industry darling with immaculate style that everyone adores. She’s worn plenty of bias-cut silk dresses this awards season, and this graphic Christian Dior by John Galliano from 1999 is a weird, sexy, inspired choice for such a big night. She’s just cool enough to pull it off.

Kirsten Dunst in Celine

Dunst isn’t nominated tonight — she’s supporting hubby Jesse Plemons for his role in Bugonia — but this scrumptious, clean-as-a-pin Celine by Michael Rider got out attention. Dunst is a miniamlist through and through, and this is a fun play on a glam black dress that doesn’t drown her. Points go to her and her stylist Samantha McMillen for not putting a necklace here: The dress is the moment.

Jacob Elordi in Bottega Veneta

Another guy who isn’t afraid of a little trendsetting, his Bottega Veneta creative partnership has been perfection from awards season to Wuthering Heights promo. This is dapper, dandy, and feels fresh with the weird-ish boat shoe and, of course, his shaggy mullet.

Thousands of dresses, hundreds of podcast appearances, dozens of premieres, a handful of great parties, and one ballet-and-opera-related scandal have all led to Oscars night. The last and greatest evening on the awards-season circuit is coming a bit later this year, but right on time for spring fashions to make their debut — or for still-warm Fall/Winter 2026 samples to show up. We’ve been tracking our favorite style stars as they take on the carpets, photo calls, and dinners surrounding awards ceremonies this season, and it all comes down to one night at the Dolby Theatre.

With the exception of the Best Actress award, which we can’t see going to anyone else besides Jessie Buckley, the fields are wide open. It’s been a ping-pong game (sorry, had to) between the other categories’ nominees, with Best Actor, Picture, Director, and supporting-role awards all up in the air. It’s also a toss-up for best dressed tonight. Will Timothée Chalamet wear Givenchy by Sarah Burton one more time? (And will an opera singer or ballerina try to sabotage his look?) Will Teyana Taylor wear something she saw sitting front-row at Chanel? Will Elle Fanning opt for Coach, Gucci, or something entirely unexpected? The night is young, so are we, and we are tracking the best fashion right here. Keep scrolling to see our favorite looks from the most important red carpet in Hollywood.

King Kylie Jenner is nothing if not a well-prepared woman. You might think one step ahead, but Kylie is thinking three miles ahead. Late last year, she hinted at giving her Schiaparelli keyhole dress another moment in another color — and just four months later, she’s making it a reality at the 2026 Oscars.

Jenner did a Vogue “Life in Looks” video going over her best fashion from a mere teen to an industry-leading mogul, and Schiaparelli was heavily feature. (Remember her lion head?) One dress in particular — the slinky tank-top sequin dress with a keyhole cutout right under her bra line — got a lot of love, as she said: “Any time I’m trying to figure out what to wear to an event, I’m like, ‘Should I just wear the keyhole dress again?’ I think I need another moment in this dress, or maybe another color. Daniel, call me.” Turns out, Daniel (Roseberry, creative director of Schiaparelli) gave her a call to make this scarlet-red sequined moment come to life.

It makes all the sense in the world that Kylie would want to repeat this dress; after all, most of the dresses she’s picked to support her partner Timothée Chalamet this awards season have been almost exactly the same silhouette. We made an attempt to open her eyes to other options, but she knows her body and knows what she likes: A form-fitting, boob-and-butt-enhancing sliver of a dress, paired with classic blowouts and signature soft glam. She also paired this evening’s dress with over 200 carats of Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, for the ultimate multimillionaire princess touch. Maybe she’ll make the most of the Vanity Fair afterparty carpet to wow us with something else — maybe a third keyhole dress? We love a girl who manifests her reality, and even better when it’s couture-related.

Every week, we bring you SOUNDCHECK — your destination for the best new music that just hit the web. Because you should always be prepared when someone passes you that AUX cord. This week's roundup features 12 of our favorite emerging and established artists.

“Dry Spell” by Kacey Musgraves

They say to write what you know, and right now, it seems like all Kacey Musgraves knows is “horny.” We hate to delight in her misfortune, but if Musgraves’ dry spell means even more great music is on the way, we can only hope she’ll consider taking up celibacy for the cause.

“Blow My Mind” by Robyn

I saw Robyn perform this song at her New Year’s Eve show at Brooklyn Paramount earlier this year, and I’ve been waiting for it to drop ever since. She opts for a somewhat robotic vocal delivery on this one (even going so far as to distort her voice with heavy autotune), yet she’s humanized by the immeasurable amounts of love she has for her son that burns inside her.

“All I Did Was Dream Of You” by beabadoobee ft. The Marías

Two NYLON It Girls coming together to maximize their joint slay? We love to see it. Beabadoobee and María Zardoya are a match made in vocal-heaven, though we could’ve never predicted we’d hear the bedroom pop singer wail over a full band in this lifetime. 10s across the board.

“The Visitor” by Sienna Spiro

Another Friday, another out-of-the-park ballad from Sienna Spiro. What else is new?

“ThunderWave” by Thundercat ft. Willow

Thundercat and Willow are in such perfect harmony on this track that you can’t help but wonder why they haven’t worked together sooner. Lusciously dreamy, it’s clear these two speak the same musical language. We can only hope to be fluent one day.

“Knife In The Heart” by Lykke Li

This life is a knife in the heart, indeed. At least we have Lykke Li’s music to dance to.

“When I Wake Up” by The Pretty Reckless

If you’re not letting out an exasperated “f*ck” when you wake up, did you really go out last night? This is exactly what a wild night out is supposed to feel like: exhilarating, raucous, and disorienting.

“Strong” by Momo Boyd

The little yodel she does on the chorus scratches my brain in the best way. The Momo Boyd takeover is imminent — don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“Subcon” by Kim Gordon

Someone get me a car so I can experience this song the way it was intended: through a sh*tty, overblown speaker while speeding down I-95. I never want Kim Gordon to stop making trap music.

“Breathe” by Malcolm Todd

Steve Lacy was in the room with Malcolm Todd when he made this song, at least spiritually. Don’t be surprised if you hear this song all over your TikTok FYP this summer.

“595” by Violet Grohl

No surprises here, this genuinely rocks. The melody is eerily reminiscent of Nirvana, and I don’t just say that because of who her dad is. But don’t get it twisted: this is no homage. This is Violet Grohl stepping into her own.

“I Do, I Do” by Dua Saleh

A beautiful, romantic, enchanting, and spiritual listening experience all in one. Nobody is doing it like Dua Saleh.

Folks in New York are currently mourning their first Fool’s Spring, with temperatures reaching 70 degrees one day — and falling back to 30 degrees the next. Paris Fashion Week attendees enjoyed unseasonably warm temperatures, and those flocking to Los Angeles for Hollywood’s biggest night can rely on classically SoCal weather to keep them happy as well. Spring is here, and with it, the start of party circuits for the Oscars and art-world galas. Wherever in the world our party girls found themselves this week, there was a reason to pop outside and enjoy a glass of champagne (or a free shot at karaoke). Keep scrolling to see our favorite party pictures, from West Hollywood to the Marais.

Revolve Los Angeles Spreads Its Wings

The luxury in-house label for the online e-tailer is officially out in the world, and its first muse Bella Hadid hosted friends of the brand (everyone was in all-black, of course) to toast to the new collection. Becky G came through in zebra print, Dixie D’Amelio showed that blondes have way more fun, and Bella showed how to style a leather jacket with a lace bodysuit for 2026.

Dior, W Mag & Half Of Hollywood Walk Into Mr. Chow...

And give us the best party photos of the year thus far. Dior & W Magazine’s pre-Oscars fête hosted by W Magazine Editor-in-Chief Sara Moonves and Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson was a veritable who’s who of Dior’s ambassador list (Mia Goth! Anya Taylor-Joy! RPatt! Greta Lee! Charlize Theron!), Hollywood’s Oscars frontrunners (Teyana Taylor was the belle of the ball, alongside K-Pop Demon Hunters’ Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami), and the coolest Cali girls (Kendall and Hailey). The Moët & Chandon champagne was flowing, selfies were being taken, and after dinner, guests indulged in karaoke. (Wonder if anyone tried “Golden” out for size?)

Fleur Du Mal Comes Back Downtown

The go-to luxury lingerie for editors and celebrities alike reopened its Nolita flagship with the help of some serious fun-loving guests. There were mushroom gummies being passed, House of Yes dancers providing drinks and a good, lacy time, and yes, Anna Delvey was in the building.

Free Arts Gala Gets Funky After Dark

Free Arts NYC is all about the artists with less recognition (and the same amount of talent), supporting those who need more visibility. The afterparty is where the fun was at — and the Sketch Project, featuring 75 different city-based artists whose work was available at auction. First Lady of Gracie Mansion Rama Duwaji lended an illustration, and folks like Alistair McKimm and Gabrielle Ricahrdson piled into WSA to see the works on display and have a midweek toast in honor of community and artistry.

The Frankie Shop Has A Mid-Paris Fashion Week Birthday

The Frankie Shop is celebrating 10 years of being the best affordably priced outerwear and suiting option for the fashion industry, and they rented out a restaurant in the Marais to properly celebrate. Guests like Jameela Jamil and Eva Chen poured out into the street as they commemorated Gaëlle Drevet’s well-deserved achievement.

Whether or not you recognize the name yet, you already know Diya Joukani.

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok or Reels in the past month, you’ve likely come across the 25-year-old designer. Her waist-length raven locks, a rotation of gloriously embellished fits, and an enviable irreverent swag carry her through the streets of Mumbai by foot, rickshaw, or horseback. Across dozens of now-viral clips, the formula is instantly recognizable. Set to Frank Ocean’s “Nights,” Joukani dines on local fare, banters with street vendors, and jaunts through the city in a fit of equal parts Western streetwear and Eastern tailoring. What begins as a casual day-in-the-life format (part outfit diary, part city stroll) has quickly snowballed into something larger: a viral blueprint other creators are now replicating around the world for their own shot at Joukani-level traction.

“When I filmed the first video, I knew people were going to like it — it's just cool,” Joukani says simply. “But I definitely did not expect literally the whole world to be tapped into this ‘Diya’s duniya’ thing.”

And Diya’s duniya it has become. Hindi for “world,” the phrase now feels less like a cheeky caption and more like a literal description of the phenomenon she’s set off. Since January, Joukani’s format has been re-created thousands of times under the same Frank Ocean track by creatives across the globe documenting their cities through the same loose template: walking, eating, dressing, and quite literally existing throughout their own corners of the world. Coolly, of course.

Scroll long enough and the trend begins to feel like a digital passport: a Takiya-clad artist saunters through vintage markets in Almaty. A minidressed-darling swishes past flower stalls in Mexico City. A baggy-jeaned baddie snags fresh shotis puri while drifting through Tbilisi. But for being the current face of the fashion algorithm, Joukani ironically never set out to engineer anything viral in the first place.

A self-taught designer, she only started making clothes a little over a year ago after a string of thrift store gigs and a growing fascination with the construction of garments. Armed with YouTube tutorials and a sewing machine from Facebook Marketplace, she studied how to cut patterns and stitch garments from scratch. Her first piece — a jacket — immediately drew attention when she wore it out.

“Everyone was just asking me, ‘Where’d you get your jacket from?’ I was like, ‘Guys, I made this.’”

What followed was a kind of accidental fashion startup. Joukani began posting slideshows of her designs online, fielding a growing flood of DMs from people asking to buy the pieces directly. Within months, she launched a website to showcase her first collection, which promptly sold out the day it went live.

The aesthetic that’s since become her signature blends global streetwear references with distinctly Indian craftsmanship. Joukani’s take on the ever-trendy baggy jorts and zip-up hoodies are ornamented with traditional aari and zardozi embroidery — and for Joukani, this juxtaposition is entirely intentional.

“That’s what it’s all about. We’re bringing the world to India. If there’s any way I could bring even more attention to India, I’m going to do it because my people, my community, my culture — they’re everything.”

But make no mistake, this isn’t traditional fashion marketing. Joukani is selling us her universe and, well, it’s working. Increasingly, other designers and artists around the world are doing the same. One of them is Isabel Perez, founder of Hera Studio in Quito, Ecuador. Like Joukani, Perez built her label outside the traditional fashion capitals, and largely through the connective tissue of social media.

“I live in a small country and didn’t have the budget to showcase my clothing abroad,” Perez explains. “The only thing I could do was make videos showing the behind-the-scenes of how our pieces are made.”

Her brand collaborates with local artisans and uses Panama cotton, and social media has amplified that hyperlocal production internationally. When Perez discovered Joukani’s videos, she was instantly inspired. Perez filmed her own version wandering through Quito’s historic old town, weaving her patchwork garments through street scenes locals would instantly recognize — colonial churches, coconut vendors, street food stands, shoe-shiners stationed along the sidewalks — creating a video that felt immediately familiar to locals, but completely new to anyone seeing the city from afar.

It’s a moment that hints at something bigger: what Joukani has quietly sparked online isn’t just another TikTok trend destined for algorithmic purgatory in three weeks’ time. Clothes aren’t compelling without a world attached.

In a post-pandemic fashion world, the industry has become obsessed with locality. After stalled travel and fractured supply chains, people began looking closer to home — for inspiration, community, and identity. In an era where the same blazer can be ordered from anywhere, what feels exciting is specificity: a street food stand, the language overheard, the rhythm of a city that can’t be replicated. Even major houses are leaning in: under Daniel Lee, Burberry staged campaigns in muddy fields and coastal towns, while Jacquemus mines the South of France for place-driven imagery. And it’s precisely this hunger for clothes with a world attached that Joukani has quietly been shaping first — turning her city, her streets, and her craft into a universe people want to inhabit.

Which brings us to the question of, well, “It.” For decades, the “It Girl” archetype conjured images of A-listers and socialites orbiting the same handful of traditional sartorial capitals with wealth measured in follower count. But for fashion’s next gen, Paris, Milan, New York, and London are more background noise than beacons. Ask Joukani what defines It-Girldom today, and her answer is refreshingly blunt.

“I don’t think you need followers,” she says. “If you got it, you got it. Some of the coolest people I know are not even on the internet.”

Perhaps fashion’s next waves aren’t built on glossy campaigns or traipsing down the runway, but walking down their own streets instead. Now queue the Frank Ocean.

One of our favorite ways into the mythology of celebrity style is outfit equations. What might seem like simple styling choices directly impact the way people dress — remember the sheer skirt and sturdy jacket? — and also provide us with a clear road map for getting dressed. We’re taking stock of the runway shows we loved and decoding the many beautiful outfits that came down the catwalks in New York, London, Milan, and Paris this month.

I previously waxed poetic about the season’s message of efficiency and a slim silhouette, and the outfit equations we’re most drawn to are unfussy, simple ways to tackle both day and evening dressing. Nothing here is reinventing the wheel, but rather, imagining two or three hero pieces as the building blocks for your next party ‘fit or errands look. The whiff of prep in the air is still here, as is the drop-waist skirt and plaid. Below, we’ve broken down six different ways to tackle fall dressing. Why not test them out this spring before your draft your Fall/Winter shopping list?

An Animal-Print Top & A Fun-Ass Bottom

Leopard print is still in, despite what Substackers and style superstars might be saying. This season, Celine offered up sumptuous shearlings paired with a dynamic red pair of pants which inspired this equation. Instead of making the animal print the star and wearing all black or denim on bottom, lean into the maximalism and slight Y2Chaos of it all with something equally as loud. Marni’s pale-pink sheer skirt is for those not willing to go all the way in something so bold, but if you’re feeling it, MSGM’s green-and-floral skirt is the epitome of the trend.

A Big Coat & An Even Bigger Scarf

Lenny Kravitz’s impact with his blanket-scarf cannot be understated. There were so many different styling options on the runway (sweaters as scarves, leather scarves, fur stoles) but we were enchanted by the seemingly metal-piped takes at Loewe and Celine. If you’re hoping to sweep the street while walking, try Stella McCartney’s version. The main takeaway is to shroud both body and face in fabric; while our examples here are all in shades of beige, try a pop of color if you’re feeling frisky.

A Blazer, Sheer Shirt & Straight-Leg Pants

Something so simple like this one-two-three punch isn’t groundbreaking, but it bears repeating since it cropped up everywhere this season. This is a tried and true formula for girls on the go everywhere, but consider freaking it a bit more by slinging your jeans extra-low à la Tom Ford, or wearing a middle layer like Isabel Marant’s insouciant French girl. Evening-wear without fighting for your life with a back zipper on a tight dress? Sign us up.

A Vintage T-Shirt & A Plaid Skirt

Americana is the natural next stop on the preppy train, and we loved the way Coach brought back an ‘80s corn-fed sensibility to their show. A stiff school-girl plaid skirt can be turned into a more convincing take on prep with a great vintage T-shirt. Keep it in the high-school realm with sneakers or bring it to the high street like MM6 did with quirky accessories.

A Collared Top & A Denim Skirt

Another prep-indebted moment? Why not. Dries Van Noten’s take was one of our favorite looks of the whole season, and indeed, a denim maxi skirt could be the next great late-night choice if styled correctly. Go for broke like MM6’s western lady, or keep it menswear-inspired like Dries did with a tie and exaggerated cuffs.

A Drop-Waist Skirt & A Funky Sweater

One more stop on the prep train, this time inspired by ‘90s minimalism like Marni channeled so effortlessly — and Matthieu Blazy’s drop skirts at Chanel. Tory lowered the waistband on her Lee Razdiwill-Bunny Mellon-inspired skirts, and Dries also felt the shift towards hip-bone-hitting skirts. Tuck your sweater into your skirt, or wear a cardigan with nothing underneath. The fun in this equation is the way you can sex it up or play it down.

The sun is shining in New York City, the weather is a perfectly temperate 68 degrees, and the mounds of snow that once dominated the sidewalks are nowhere to be seen. All of this can only mean one thing: Kacey Musgraves spring is around the corner. After days of teasing, the country artist finally confirmed the title and release date of her sixth studio album and dropped the lead single on March 11.

The new track, titled “Dry Spell,” is everything you’d want from a Kacey Musgraves song: it’s twangy, it’s clever, and most importantly, it’s horny. “It's been a real long three-hundred and thirty-five days / And the last time, it wasn't good anyway,” she sings in the opening. “I'm so lonely, lonely with a capital ‘H’ / If you know what I mean, I've been sitting on the washing machine.” As if it weren’t blatantly obvious, Musgraves confesses she’s “going through a dry spell” in the chorus.

The single marks the first offering from Musgraves’ upcoming record, Middle Of Nowhere, out May 1. At 13 tracks long, listeners can expect the album to be heavily inspired by the singer’s home state of Texas and singledom.

“The bulk of this record was made during the longest single period of my life, and I found that for the first time, it actually felt incredible being alone and existing in a space not defined by anyone else,” Musgraves said in a press release. “I became fascinated with the concept of liminal space, both geographical and emotional. We don’t linger in these transitional, empty spaces long enough and rush to define where or whatever is next. I became so at ease with being in the ‘middle of nowhere’ in many senses and sitting in the un-comfort of the undefined. I had a lot of time for creative ambling and leaning into myself in different ways; horses, humor, writing with my early collaborators again, and living out my very simple, inspired life between Texas, Tennessee, and Mexico.”

Middle Of Nowhere features collabs from Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov.

Next to vampire facials (yes, injecting your own drawn blood back into your pores) and slathering snail slime across your T-zone, microcurrent is the buzziest beauty treatment currently holding the skincare industrial complex in an electric chokehold. It promises tighter skin, sharper cheekbones, fewer fine lines, the kind of lift that briefly makes you wonder if Skintok might be right about starting Botox before 30. The premise sounds slightly unhinged: tiny electrical currents pulsed into your skin to stimulate facial muscles and boost cellular energy—all with little to no discomfort. It almost sounds too good to be true, so to determine whether it’s legit science or just another well-marketed beauty placebo I looked to the source of all things vain and eternally taut: Hollywood.

Relegated to be forever snatched and youthful, red carpet A-listers have long been microcurrent devotees, oft seeking out the crème de la crème (l’électricité de l’électricité?) at a ritzy Flatiron facility, Tracie Martyn Spa. From Doechii to Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, countless famous faces have passed through its storied halls for last-minute sculpting before taking on the flashes of the red carpet and I, too, a mere Midtown mortal, was about to submit my face to the same celebrity-grade glow-up.

The treatment in question is the spa’s aptly named “Red Carpet Facial,” which, like most things adjacent to Tinseltown, is equal parts science experiment and soft-spoken theater. After being ushered through a series of hushed, white-washed rooms, I was scrubbed with a citrusy cleanser and given a quick round of microdermabrasion—essentially a polite little vacuum for your face. Not painful, just mildly uncanny.

But the main event, the reason VIPs allegedly slip through these doors hours before stepping onto a carpet, is the current.

Soon enough, two metal probes were gliding across my jawline and cheekbones, delivering gentle pulses of microcurrent while a conductive gel kept things moving. The sensation was faintly buzzy, almost like gentle pin pricks. The science, however, is surprisingly straightforward: microcurrent mimics the body’s natural electrical signals, stimulating facial muscles while encouraging cells to produce more ATP, the energy currency that helps skin repair and regenerate. Translation: lifted contours, smoother texture, and a suspiciously well-rested look celebrities insist comes from “just drinking water.”

I felt like a laptop—my face was quite literally plugged in. Every few minutes, sticky probes were repositioned (cheeks, cheekbones, forehead) methodically negotiating with gravity. It was followed by a round of cryo-spoons rubbed along the planes of my face, and then I was passed a mirror to check out the results.

To be fair, my skin did look good. Very good, actually. Lifted. Bouncy. But somewhere between the whispered instructions and the futuristic face zapping, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was all a bit…much. The machinery. The mystique. And the lingering question of how one might achieve this kind of lift without the price tag that could comfortably fund a weekend in Europe.

When I asked whether they sold any take-home version of the zapping technology I quickly learned to love, the answer was no—which naturally sent me down a post-facial research spiral. Microcurrent, it turns out, isn’t exclusive to posh Flatiron spa chambers. Devices like the NuFACE Trinity Facial Toning Device use the same low-level electrical currents in a handheld device you glide across your face for a few minutes a day. Added to cart and delivered, consider my morning routine revamped.

In theory, microcurrent works like a workout for your face: the gentle zaps stimulate the muscles beneath the skin, helping to tone, lift, and temporarily tighten things up. No, the results aren’t permanent (typically lasting a day or two) but it’s enough to make this feel like the beauty equivalent of steaming a shirt before you go out: not essential, but very nice to have before a big event. And if that means waking up five to 20 minutes earlier in the morning so my cheekbones can operate at their full potential, so be it.

Hollywood, you can keep your red carpets. I’ll just take the cheekbones, thanks.

The NuFACE Trinity Facial Toning Device is available on Amazon.

How do you measure a month in the fashion universe? We could track miles flown, steps walked, calories ingested (forget that one), or the trends we love, but we’re feeling a bit delirious from all the front-row happenings and 70-look shows. With silliness in mind, we’re recapping the Fall/Winter 2026 season with a yearbook-style superlative group that, yes, touches on the highlights from the first show in New York to the last show in Paris, but also embraces what made it goofy and fun. Fashion can be way too self-serious sometimes, so we’re celebrating what made us laugh, smile, shrug, and come back for more.

We’re taking stock of our favorite front-row star, the best seat-mates of the month, the dresses and skirts you’ll want to buy come September, and the cutest animal-style bag of the season. Keep scrolling to see what random awards we came up with that still carry weight to them, from hair to makeup, bows, and faux fur.

Most Exciting Eveningwear Trend: Squiggles

No offense to any one in particular, but if we see another black bias-cut slip dress as an evening-wear option, we might gouge our eyes out. Our favorite late-night looks had weird ribbons and squiggly lines throughout, like Area’s cassette-tape minidress and Tom Ford’s goth jellyfish.

The Kate Moss Award For Most Moss: Miu Miu, Hermès & Louis Vuitton

It was mossy at Hermès, mossy at Miu Miu, and at Louis Vuitton, a Jeremy Hindle-designed futuristic landscape was moss-coded. Everything pointed towards designers wanting to “touch grass.”

Best Use Of Ribbon: Simone Rocha

Many editors and influencer skipped over London’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it four-day stint, but dropping in for Simone is always worth it. This prize-winning dress was both feminine and deeply unserious, which makes it all the more enchanting.

Best Front Row Guests: Loewe’s Plushies

Under the creative direction of Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez, Loewe is continuing its streak of being for the art baddies and cool kids. True Whitaker, Sarah Pidgeon, Sissy Spacek, and Hari Nef all sat among Cosima von Bonin-designed sculptures (read: stuffed animals). It’s art, but it’s also, at the end of the day, really fun, as McCullough and Hernandez said via press release: “Humour can be revolutionary, at times the most piercing way to deliver a serious message.”

Most Recession-Indicating Makeup Trend: The Smoky Eye

For all of Prada’s subtle glamour, the raccoon eyes they sent down the runway shocked us with its grit. Gucci followed suit, as did Saint Laurent; and when Hermès paired healthy skin with smudged eyes, we knew it was back for good.

The Lisa Frank Award For Excellence In Glitter: Chanel

Not since Karl Lagerfeld have Chanel shows been this fun; Matthieu Blazy knows how to lighten the mood. Not only was this technicolor chainmail section pure mermaid fantasy, but the holographic hair was a breath of fresh air on runways that are dead-set on making models look “natural.” Sometimes, a punch in the gut in the form of glittery hair is just what the doctor ordered.

Quirkiest Use of (Faux) Fur: Stella McCartney

Shearling, fur, faux fur, whatever it is: It’s everywhere. This season, the ante was upped to figure out how to make it show up in unusual ways. Trim was the way to go, and Stella made great use of faux fur as peplum belts, coat trims, and even on her Falabella bag.

Chameleon Of The Season: Myha’la

We extolled her virtues at New York Fashion Week and followed her along to McQueen, and we simply cannot get enough of her bangin’ abs in this Courrèges. Wherever Myha’la went this season, fun and a very her look followed, no matter the occasion.

Class Clowns: Vaquera

I mean this with all the love in my heart, and designers Patric Dicaprcio and Bryn Taubensee would probably accept the term happily. Their Paris show always lands on the first day of the week, and what fun they’re having. Their collection was chock-full of references to Rudi Gernreich, Cristobal Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquière... we could go on, but they took these cues and brought them to new heights. It was weird, it was funny, and it was capital-F Fashion. We want more risk-takers on our schedules next season.

Best Trend For Your Buck: Drop-Waist Skirts

We called this out last season when Matthieu Blazy brought the Chanel skirt suit into the 21st century by pulling the waistband down a few inches, and this season, virtually everyone followed suit. Whether in mini denim form at 7 For All Mankind or in the pencil-adjacent way at Marni (pictured here), it’s a sure way to update your wardrobe.

Excellence In It-Girl Casting: Gucci

Demna’s Gucci is hot. His first runway show was an epic undertaking and received both raves and pans — the dream for a provocateur like Demna. The clothes, bags, and shoes were desirable, as was the front-row, but the stars on the runway took the spotlight and ran with it. Gabbriette! EmRata! Sydney Carlson! Vivian Wilson! Kate F*cking Moss! Demna is the premier sociologist of our times.

The Instagram-Fodder Award For Accessory Design: Dior’s Velvet Frog

There was a lot to love at Jonathan Anderson’s Monet-inspired runway, where guests sat and basked (read: baked) in the greenhouse built specifically for the show. This velvet frog, with gold feet and button-shaped eyes, is not only fodder for social media, but a collector’s item.

At long last, what has felt like a never-ending Fashion Month has come to a close. (We’re headed to one more off-schedule show, but we have to draw a beginning and end somewhere.) The Fall/Winter 2026 season brought debuts, sophomore collections, anniversaries, and departures, but looking back, the most exciting runways aren’t the ones that gagged with an A-lister in the lineup or a six-figure set installation. The most effective shows slimmed down the silhouette and worked for the customer, not the other way around.

The slimming of the “look” has been happening for some time. Chalk it up to Ozempic, sure, but fashion exists on a pendulum, and the oversize look has been around for just a little too long, which made the more narrow-fit shows hit harder. The concision started in New York, where ’90s classics got workwear and kink updates at Eckhaus Latta. A tight 30-look show hammered home a leaner look with leather pencil skirts and slinky satin tops. At Prada — the show that often kicks off the trends of the season — it was an exercise in reduction as 15 models walked four times, taking off a layer each time to reveal not only the mutability of the designs but how people actually dress, undress, and rewear clothes every day.

From there, anything extravagant, wide-shouldered, or heavily embellished felt unnecessary and even disingenuous for moving through the times we live in. Gucci’s irony-laden show held up a mirror to how people actually wear Gucci from South Beach to Milan and back. Models’ biceps bulged out of faux-leather shirts, Nettspend wore a crossbody bag and sneakers, and the ladies of the runway wore skimpy dresses and not much else (besides instantly covetable bags). Meryll Rogge’s debut Marni runway did away with the craftiness of her predecessor’s collections and provided a slate of refreshingly Old-Marni-coded clothes that felt like straight line to a quirky future that doesn’t rely on bells and whistles.

If Milan stripped away excess, Paris nailed the hammer on the head 10 times over. Anthony Vaccarello of Saint Laurent loves to repeat silhouettes at his shows, and not only did he bring back the smoking suit, he nipped it in further at the waist and showed it about a dozen different ways (pinstripe, gray, all black). At Tom Ford, the show of the season, Haider Ackermann did away with dimly lit sets and jersey dresses that reveal models’ hip bones and showed capital-C clothes on muses of all ages. It was less “imagine yourself in a darkroom with this skinny girl” and more “here are the best possible leather jacket, suit, and tie you should buy.” It was the first Tom Ford show in forever I actually saw myself in, while still remaining sumptuous and desirable. Relatability isn’t something to shy away from all the time, especially when margins are slimming and luxury fashion is harder and harder to sell.

Michael Rider at Celine made relatability and “play it your way” the theme of the show, which had fashion editors and armchair Instagram critics alike in a frenzy for its quirkiness. It was full of streamlined workwear pieces like slim-cut pants with a flare (another trend) and no-nonsense trench coats, but spiced up with a charm necklace here and an off-kilter hat there. Having those bones with options to make it your own felt like a reset on the challenge of getting dressed. What if it was just about the dress, the coat, and not endless options in either direction? Pieter Mulier’s final Alaïa collection drove this message home; he got rid of all the frou-frou — no condom-esque Dune tops here — and demonstrated why he got the gig in the first place. It was all killer, no filler, and again echoed how clients might actually wear a $4,000 dress on the streets.

Nobody understands the modern woman quite like Matthieu Blazy at Chanel, who must be getting the best sleep of his life. Not only is his debut Spring/Summer 2026 collection sending editors and buyers into a shopping frenzy, but his Fall/Winter 2026 show was a must-see. With a set of technicolor cranes, it was clear he was building up a look with layers, iridescence, craft, and luxury. The final two looks, however, were a study in the season’s message and proof he gets the moment. A slim black pantsuit was followed by a ravishing draped black jersey dress with a camellia hanging on the model’s bare back. From the front, it’s pure minimalism, but when you walk away, the feathered flower does all the talking. As Blazy put it via news release: “Chanel is sensible, Chanel is seductive. Chanel is day, Chanel is night. It represents the freedom to choose between the caterpillar and the butterfly whenever you want.” The best collections this season were caterpillar-first, allowing customers to build up their cocoon to take on life and be butterflies of a more subtle — and ultimately more personal — variety.

The fashion train is on its last and final stop in Paris. All planes, trains, and automobiles lead to the French capital, where ten days of runways will finalize trends we’ve been seeing and give us even more sartorial food to chew over. The previous season was rife with debuts, and now, it’s about keeping eyes and executives happy — and seeing designers’ collections get their front-row debuts on their favorite stars. Jonathan Anderson’s Dior baddies will make their entrance in the Tuileries, Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel squad will take over the Grand Palais on the penultimate evening, and newcomer Antonin Tron will unveil his vision for Balmain.

A few absences of note are Valentino, who will be showing in Rome shortly after Paris wraps up, and Maison Margiela, who will show in China in April. Beyond these, it’s all systems go in the City of Lights, and we’ll be tracking the best celebrity looks throughout the parade of Parisian fashion, below.

Girls just want to sip martinis and talk shop. On Wednesday, March 4, NYLON Membership hosted a celebration with Made By All at Soho House in honor of women-owned businesses in beauty entrepreneurship. The evening started out in Soho House’s iconic Vinyl Room, where guests were greeted with glasses of Avaline, the revolutionary organic wine founded by Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power, before entering NYLON Membership’s Beauty Bar: a luxury curation of female-founded brands in beauty and wellness, showcasing each product and a token beauty mantra from the entrepreneurs behind our favorite rituals — like Dianna Cohen’s tagline, Take Your Time, which will be our iPhone wallpaper until further notice.

Behind the booth, DJ duo FiveEleven played an iconic female-forward set list, with tracks from Madonna to Normani filling the lounge as creators and tastemakers settled into a fireside chat discussing all things beauty and brains. The panel lineup included Jordan Harper, Bruna Petrillo, Leanne Perice, and Ava Dash, who shared their hot takes on building community and the pressure to post daily on social in 2026 — which, according to Perice, who founded Made By All talent agency in 2017, is a reputable strategy for aspiring creators interested in brand partnerships. “Consistency is what it takes if you really want it,” Perice added.

Tastemakers, creators, and mutual friends across NYLON, Made By All and Soho House were in attendance, including Whitney Fransway, Roma Abdesselam, Alina and Inessa Vike, Carly Lawrence and more.

As the panel wrapped, it was time for part two of the night in Soho House’s private dining room — where guests sipped extra dirty martinis and enjoyed the club’s signature sliders, crudité, and bite-size chocolate cookies and brownies. After all, it wouldn’t be International Women’s Day without a proper girl dinner.

In each NYLON Membership Beauty Bag, guests were treated to a complete lineup of hair care, skin care, and cosmetics created by female entrepreneurs – including YSE Beauty, Barefaced, Crown Affair, Frenshe, Bounce Curl, Doctor Rogers, Each & Every, Mediheal, Korres, Dibs Beauty, RPZL, and Meggo Sweets. Let the 10-step nighttime routines begin.

Winter sports are never as exciting — or as immediately death-defying — as during the Winter Olympics. Every four years, fans ooh and ahh at toe loops, skeleton rides, and the 20-foot halfpipe jumps made by snowboarding phenoms. Shaun White, perhaps the most famous snowboarder alive, wants more for his sport. His latest venture, The Snow League, is set to position snowboarding as not a once-every-four-years event you pay attention to, but a seasonal sporting event not unlike the MLB or NBA — but reimagined as the bougie, work-hard-play-hard sport it is.

Downhill sports have always been tied to luxury, so Aspen made the ideal backdrop for the second year of The Snow League’s championships. Skiing is usually the place you’ll find Prada snowsuits and multimillion-dollar partnerships, but White wants the punk-rock snowboarders to get in on the luxury market too. “The winter sports space is huge. [There are] over 130 million participants in winter sports with a higher household income than golf,” White told us over drinks at Aspen’s Caribou Club. “You have this huge market, and you have people that want to spend and enjoy the mountains and this experience.”

So an experience he gave. Leveling up from last year’s inaugural Snow League meant bringing in more partners like Hublot, who are longtime partners of Aspen Snowmass and the outfitters of the luxury sun deck that overlooked the halfpipe festivities. Jeep, American Express, and Pacifico were all represented too, helping to round out the party offerings. Oh, and White enlisted Tiffany & Co. to make the custom trophy, which brings Snow League into direct conversation with the trophies of the Super Bowl and the FIFA World Cup. Not bad company to be in.

Speaking of company, besides the Olympic medalists who turned around from Milano-Cortina to Aspen in record time, there were lots of Kemo Sabe-sporting fans at Buttermilk for the championships, where Japanese Ryusei Yamada took home the Tiffany & Co. trophy and Wyclef Jean took to the stage to perform his greatest hits for a sun-kissed crowd. Seeing White in the VIP lounge alongside Sara Sampaio, Jimmy Tatro, and Odell Beckham Jr., he was all smiles. His nerves of throwing a great party were settled by seeing everyone jump to “Ready or Not.”

If Aspen is known for anything besides its four mountains and luxury shopping, it’s partying, a language we are well-versed in. The Snow Lodge was NYLON’s playground one weekend, and the next, it was the Snow League afterparty, where yurts saw Olympic medalists and Hublot executives pouring one another champagne and watching as the crowd went from manageable to chaotic, culminating in another surprise performance from Lupe Fiasco. As the sun set over the St. Regis, guests snapped pics of their timepieces paired with their best apres-ski ‘fits, and as partygoers filed out of the hotel and into the cold streets of Aspen, there was already talk of returning next year. The Snow League and all its trappings — whether you participate in the bottle-popping or just want to see Kaishu Hirano get 25 feet of air — is here to stay.

The name on everyone’s lips this Fashion Month is... Myha’la. (At least on our lips.) The mononymous actress celebrated the release of the fourth season of Industry by going on a greatest-hits tour of New York Fashion Week’s front row (Tory! Calvin! Marc!), and quickly followed it up with similarly stunt-y appearances in Paris. Her abs at Courrèges were instantly covetable (and she wore the best look at the show), and for the McQueen show, she went a little more demure but nonetheless enchanting.

Myha’la is a fashion nerd through and through, so when she got her hands on the rosary-beaded thong sandals from McQueen Spring/Summer 2003 — the same shoes Rosalía wore in the “Berghain” music video — she was as giddy as you could imagine. Her outfit was marching-band member but make it fashion, with epaulets, a white collar, and a laced bag for good measure. You can tell Myha’la gets fashion because her glam is never a distraction to the ‘fit: She kept her makeup barely-there, only accenting what God gave her (including those perfect brows and a beauty mark or two). See what gags and trends our front-row princess and her husband Armando Rivera saw at McQueen, below.

“Accenting my beauty marks ;)”

“Bestie Dre-hair extraordinaire!!!”

“Dre got my baby right too, swoon.”

“Britt, stylist perfectionism in action!”

“Detalles. Perfecto.”

“So happy this shoe has made it back into the ether. Patiently waiting to buy these.”

“Time for the show!”

“Beautiful pink curtains created the most romantic backdrop!”

“My feet and my seat.”

“Clutching my clutch, hut hut HIKE.”

“One of my fave shoes of the collection on one of my fave models Alex Consani x”

“Another gorg shoe. Love the bow accent with very elegant and sexy straps. Wedges are BACK.”

“Big bows also very back.”

“Fashion IS performance art. I teared up at this ru-veal!”

By now, you’ve probably seen videos of Rachel Sennott and Hudson Williams being silly and hot at the Balenciaga show — wherever Williams go, hundreds of cameras follow. But the front row was more stacked than you can imagine, and luckily, we had Justine Skye ready to snap pictures for us from the main event. Skye is on the promotional circuit for her EP, Candy, which we’ve added to our list of must-stream projects releasing Mar. 27. She’s already dropped “Thong” and “Yap,” two dance-driven records made with the likes of her good pal Kaytranada, and it’s clear Skye is here to help us get back on the real-life dance floor in 2026.

When in the throes of pre-release mania, why not take a detour and sit front-row at a show in Paris covered in feathers? Skye chose a cropped white look, a great choice to stand out from all the black-leather-clad folks in the front row, and one that led to some makeup experimentation. While the feathers on the eyelash didn’t work out, her cut crease surely did — and could probably be seen from a few boulevards away, even in the Parisian night. See how Skye does day-of eating and skin prepping, plus which red-hot looks from the runway we might see her in next season.

“111Skin under-eye patches are a necessity before any major event.”

“So initially I wanted to do a little feather on the lash to go with the outfit but… it wasn’t working out the way I wanted.”

“So we went with this white shadow situation!”

“Caviar, salmon, veggies, Coke Zero fruit plate, and crème brûlée.”

“I don’t really take much in my bag when I go to shows. I had my lipliner, some lip moisture, my roll on oil perfume, and matches for some reason haha.”

“I actually loved my look so much, I felt like a swan! 🦢”

“Me at my seat waiting for the show to start.”

“The boots are sooo good.”

“Love a sparkly dress moment.”

“Really feeling all the vibrant leather jackets that were in the show.”

“This is very me.”

“The hat and makeup combo is *chefs kiss*.”

Every week, we bring you SOUNDCHECK — your destination for the best new music that just hit the web. Because you should always be prepared when someone passes you that AUX cord. This week's roundup features 10 of our favorite emerging and established artists.

“Dance No More” by Harry Styles

Whoever said DJs don’t dance anymore is a brazen liar who is not to be trusted. And yet, we should all be thanking them for inspiring such a good Harry Styles song. The quirky, high-pitched vocals, the euphoric choral chants, the descending melody, the grooves — is it possible to kiss and disco all the time?

“Más Cara” by Bad Gyal

I hope Bad Gyal continues doing what she likes and working with people she f*cks with into perpetuity because it just works. She’s always authentically herself no matter what she’s doing, and if my middle school-level of Spanish education can understand that, then she must be doing a damn good job.

“Dog” by Cobrah

Cobrah is always full of surprises, but “Dog” might be her most unexpected song to date. What you think is going to be an ode to pet play actually turns out to be an honest and vulnerable confession of Cobrah’s truest desires: to find a partner worth growing old with, not one who just wants her for her body. Soundtracked with dark, thrashing textures and racing synths, you never know where this song is going to go next.

“Where Do We Go” by Ayra Starr

For a sad song, this track is fun is hell. It’ll surely be slotted into every DJ set this summer, thanks to the darkly sexy production and Starr’s ear candy-esque vocals. And what a summer it will be.

“Get Some” by Kim Petras feat. Cortisa Star

Streaming or not, it’s still one of the best tracks of the week. Free Kim.

“Tweak” by GIRLSET

Imagine getting sample clearance for a song like “Weak” by SWV less than a year into your career. Very impressive. I’ve got my eye on the GIRLSET girls, and you should, too.

“Warning” by Cameron Winter & War Child Records

Listening to Cameron Winter has never been a relaxing experience, but this song is particularly anxiety-inducing. As the tension rises so does the tempo, an escalation that literally makes Winter’s warning more and more dire by the second.

“Just Friends” by Honey Dijon feat. Adi Oasis, Suni MF, and Danielle Ponder

In the clurb, we’re all fam just friends. ‘90s house is so back, baby.

“Mediation No. 1” by Diana Silvers

Diana Silvers’ voice is an instrument in every sense of the word. She blends naturally with the flutes and cellos that surround her, almost as if she is one of them. It’s really something to behold.

“Crumbs” by Girl Scout

Girl Scout is right: every day is a funeral. A peak into the brutal realities of the music industry, it’s about time the band stops playing nice and starts burning sh*t to the ground. I support.

The New York party set is taking a quick break, either by decamping to Paris Fashion Week or just settling into their early-March blues. Still, with so much rain comes the chance to reset and take a look at excellent party photos from elsewhere in the world. Yes, the parties in Paris are the place to be at the minute, with late-night stop-ins at both storied restaurants and new pop-ups that are getting the girls and guys out past midnight. How much more partying can we take? The answer is, enough to get a slice of cake and a glass of biodynamic chardonnay. Keep scrolling to see our trusty party girls getting their fill.

ALO Does Paris, The Sporty-Chic Way

The brand behind your favorite matching set sis doing much more — their bag collection, for starters, sets them apart from activewear competitors. They kicked off their Paris Fashion Week with an intimate dinner including campaign star Amelia Gray, Myha’la, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who all gathered to set an intention for a healthy (yet champagne-filled) weekend.

Troye Sivan & Penfolds Pour It Up

How do you ensure butts are in seats for a dinner you’re throwing? Get a great guest list together, sure, but also make sure the wine is flowing. Troye Sivan is the latest creative partner for Penfolds wine, and showed off his interior-design skills with a curated evening featuring sleek interiors, two limited-edition bottles, and yes, endless refills for the likes of Gabbriette, Fai Khadra, and Tish Weinstock.

Cazzie David Gets Her Sprinkles

The funniest nepo baby in New York is back with another series of essays that are bound to cause riotous bouts of laughter when reading on the train. Her book launch tour included a stop at Air Mail’s West Village outpost, where Sarah Hoover, Seth Meyers, and Kareem Rahma all toasted to her latest efforts. Oh, and her sprinkle-dusted book was naturally turned into a birthday-style cake.

The music industry is in its “eras” era. Every artist feels like they need to start and finish an album cycle neatly, and after Taylor Swift’s three-year tour celebrating her distinct moments, the pressure is only higher. Bad Gyal doesn’t feel any of the pressure around redefining herself or creating a radically new vision — she only feels the pressure to get bigger and better. As she tells NYLON, “I f*ck with the artists that work like that and I admire them a lot, but it's not my case. I'm more like a vibe, more like a party girl. Let's have fun with the music.”

In case you’re not aware, she’s been having fun with music-making for roughly a decade in the public eye. Growing up in Barcelona, she was influenced by dancehall hits on TV (think “Turn Me On” by Alison Hinds and Kevin Lyttle and Sean Paul’s Trinity) and, as any late-’90s baby, used YouTube and later Spotify to harness her interests in Caribbean music. After all, her industry break came from YouTube; her Catalan cover of “Work” by Rihanna and Drake shattered genre and nationality lines, which is a through line in her body of work. Her first studio sessions were inspired by reggaeton, dembow, old-school dancehall, and trap music, as she says: “I was at the studio and I tried to jump over a speaker-knocker, trap beat, and I did really good.” At 19 years old, she had already found her niche.

Her music — which includes two mixtapes, and now, two studio albums — is unapologetically horny, fun, and most importantly, ready for the club: “I just have the skill to make f*cking club bangers. That's my identity since the beginning.” Her style choices from the jump have leaned into the early 2010s trashy club aesthetic — not in a referential way, but as a daily practice of life. When we spoke on the phone, she had her Louis Vuitton Murakami bag next to her ashtray and a pair of Isabel Marant Bekett wedge sneakers on. She loves to buy vintage neon Hervé Léger bandage dresses and pair them with studded Miami-bottle-girl heels. Maximalism is afraid of Bad Gyal.

But for all the love of sex, fashion, and sleaze, her second studio album out today, Más Cara, is an elevation for the 28-year-old. The debut single “Da Me” arrived with a Torso Solutions-directed video, the same creative forces behind Mugler’s infamous runway shows with a back-flipping Bella Hadid, and heightened styling. Flashy Pleaser heels and perfectly “just-f*cked” hair alongside the high-fashion shoot showed everyone where she wants to go with this record: Yes, to the club, but in VIP with a bottle of Dom Perignon in one hand. Don’t worry, though: With or without visuals, each song from Más Cara slaps harder than the next. She’s a national treasure in Spain, where she’ll be playing arenas and headlining Primavera Sound this year, but look out for more news when she comes stateside to bring her brashy, trashy, and dance-all-night vibe to a stage near you. NYLON tapped in with Bad Gyal from Barcelona to talk about leveling up, staying in her lane, her dream collaborator, and what brand’s store she’d empty out if she was a billionaire.

What were your intentions with this project? What did you want to say that you didn't say on your first album?

I feel like every artist has their own path. It’s obvious I came from something that wasn't planned. There wasn't a huge team behind me, there wasn't a record label. It was just me trying. I wasn't expecting to get to the point that I am today. I never thought I would be an artist; I've always had a sensibility for fashion, photography, and music. If you watch the first music videos or listen to the first album, you can see it was free. When you start under those circumstances, you cannot make the videos or work with the most known people or get the fanciest results, but it always had my flavor and my taste. I'm happy I started from that point, and now I have resources so that I can speak in a richer language to my audience and create more elevated, aesthetically beautiful creativity.

Maybe people look at it and see the change happen fast, but for me, it's been 10 years. I've been experiencing this journey little by little. Now I can work with the best people in Spain, and then I can work with the best people internationally. It makes me really, really, really happy. When you grow as an artist, you want to be better, so the pressure is real. Maybe you overthink it more than when you were just having fun at the beginning, and everything was like, "Oh, you're so cool. You're so fresh. You're so new." But when the project gets bigger and you get bigger as an artist, you feel like there's more expectations. But on the creative side, I just find positivity, honestly.

Even through the leveling up, there's still the Bad Gyal essence. What do you hope fans will take away from the new project?

Honestly, I just hope they enjoy it. My formula is always doing what I like to do and working with the people I f*ck with and doing the music I f*ck with. I hate doing a song I wouldn't listen to. That's something that sometimes happens. When you’re doing studio sessions for 10 years, there's a lot of hours, there's a lot of ideas. Sometimes, you end up with an idea you wouldn't consume. I want to enjoy the music I create and I want the fans to enjoy it too. My music is not pretentious about spreading a message or having a concept. I f*ck with the artists that work like that and I admire them a lot, but it's not my case. I'm more like a vibe, more like a party girl. Let's have fun with the music. I just want them to enjoy it. I want to keep playing in all the f*cking clubs.

We need music to get us on our feet and dance to. And it's a skill.

Some people have the skill to do a work of investigation with an amazing concept that’s intellectual and has a lot of meaning. Other people, we just have the skill to make f*cking club bangers. That's my identity since the beginning. Lately, the trend is doing songs for the club. Pop artists want to get into the clubs or have a more diverse offering. But I know what I'm good at, and that's what I enjoy doing because I feel like it's myself. It would be hard for me to find another formula.

I love the fashion you've been wearing. You're leaning into that early 2010s club vibe.

[snaps fingers] You get it perfectly. I'm a shoe addict though, I have to say.

Who are some of your favorite designers?

I shop mostly vintage. I'm not the type to go to the stores and buy the last collection. That's not my vibe. I'm so lucky that a lot of brands like to work with me, so I can use the clothes whenever I feel like I need them, but I buy a lot of vintage. Favorite designers… I can speak through this era of what I'm trying to project with Bad Gyal. I love Givenchy, Marc Jacobs. For shoes, I love Giuseppe Zanotti, Sergio Rossi. I like the first Kanye Yeezy collection. That's the vibe I'm trying to bring for 2025, and now this next year with this new album. My personal archive is much more atemporal [timeless]. I shop a lot of shoes from Jimmy Choo, Rene Caovilla, Louboutin. I have a lot of vintage Versace, Roberto Cavalli, and Hervé Léger.

I love the Pleaser shoes in the “Fuma” video.

To me, the heel makes half of the look. A part of that is being almost naked. That's my formula. I cannot lie. I love a lot of La Perla lingerie that I can wear as well outside with my True Religion jeans and my Marant sneakers. That's my day to day. This fake fur and the [Louis Vuitton] Murakami is my day to day. For now, I like to spend money on vintage because it's a good investment, but if I was a billionaire, I would go to the Alaïa or Schiaparelli store and leave it empty. For my personal and practical style, I don't pick any designer. I mix stuff.

You're doing some shows in Spain, including headlining Primavera Sound, and then some shows in the U.S. Tell me the energy you want to bring to the stage this year.

I was motivated by doing something different. I cannot reveal that much, but the stage that we're working on is different than anything I've done. Matiere Noire designs a lot of the structures for the runway shows in Paris — I always go to the Courrèges shows; I love Courrèges. It's chic and French and it wouldn't feel like my vibe, but I love it. I make it my own, and I love the designer [Nicolas de Felice]. He understands me so well. So Matiere Noire always does the installations at their shows, and I’m super happy to work with them. They developed a crazy idea.

I want it to feel club, but at the same time, I want to have moments where it can feel intimate. It will feel fancy, but not that tacky — because me and my outfits, we are tacky enough. It’ll balance between different vibes and work through the show and the different BPMs. I will be working with the same choreographer, Malou [Linders], that I had for the “Da Me” music video. She knows how to make women's bodies look sexy and strong, but structural and elevated as well. I'm super happy with the team, and the fans are going to love it.

I'm definitely going to see you when you come to New York.

I love performing in New York. I love New York.

I saw you play the Luar afterparty at Rockefeller Center.

That was iconic. That wasn't even what I'm used to. That was the DJ and me trying to make it work. It was really magical, like, “Wow, I performed at the Rockefeller Center.” The energy was crazy. Sometimes when I go outside my country, I don't know what to expect from the audience, especially if it's not my own show, but the energy there was like… B*tch, I was shaking ass and this girl was spraying her champagne and spreading it on my butt. At some point, I noticed it and had to stop singing because I was like, “She’s crazy. She's throwing champagne on my butt. I feel like I'm that f*cking b*tch.”

That's New York for you, baby.

I know that because anytime I go, I do a sold-out show. It's not a stadium or a super big venue, but every year it's bigger. The energy speaks for itself and the people see me, like, “You are that b*tch.” They shake ass when they listen to my music. They act crazy. And I love that.

You've worked with a lot of amazing female artists like Tokischa, Karol G, and Young Miko. Who is your bucket-list dream collaborator?

I could drop a name that would be a dream, dream, dream, unrealistic collab, but I think I prefer to drop a name that would be more realistic, and a girl that’s more close to my era and what I'm doing right now. I love Aya Nakamura. I love her. I've been trying to get to her for a while. When I see a female artist that is giving the energy that she's herself, I fall in love instantly. That's what I feel with her. She's 100% her. I’m a fan of her music. I listen to her a lot.

She's so beautiful.

She’s so hot, so beautiful. Body tea, face tea, outfits are tea, wigs are tea, attitude tea, everything. I have a weakness for bad b*tches. Sorry. I respect the “correct” pop girls, but I'm weak for the bad b*tches. I admire them.

On February 28. at UBS Arena, singer-songwriter Conan Gray brought the emotional world of his Wishbone era to life with a performance that felt less like a concert and more like a coming-of-age movie. NYLON Members came along for the ride as an exclusive perk for our community in NYC.

NYLON Members and friends of the brand headed to the new luxury shopping experience on Long Island, Belmont Park Village, adjacent to arena where they were greeted with flutes of champagne at favorites like Vivienne Westwood and Thom Browne. Guests included Dylan Marino, Josephine Vinicino, Shay Curré, Vienna Skye, Shiny Liu and more creators anticipating dinner at Hundredfold and enjoying the holistic experience in New York across music, style and culture.

From the moment he stepped onstage, Gray had the arena mesmerized. The crowd — many dressed in sailor-inspired looks pulled straight from the album’s nautical aesthetic — screamed every lyric back as he bounced between shimmering pop and signature ballads.

Midway through the show, the energy shifted. Gray slowed things down with a run of fan favorites like “Heather” and “The Cut That Always Bleeds,” turning the massive arena into a camaraderie of heartbroken and healing fans. Emotions aside, by the time the opening notes of “Maniac” hit, the entire venue was on its feet ready for a cathartic dance party to close out the night.

The first signs of spring came via an unusually warm weekend (finally, a blizzard-less Saturday!), and the weather at Paris Fashion Week is downright tropical compared to where we were a few weeks ago. We’re not out of the woods just yet — both with Fashion Month and the dregs of winter — but we have some news that will no doubt summer-ify your day. Bella Hadid’s reign as Model of the Year is starting off strong with a Prada debut, and now a campaign for Revolve’s new label, Revolve Los Angeles; elsewhere in the world, Sarah Pidgeon has been jet-setting in the name of promoting Love Story and looking d*mn good doing it. Keep scrolling to read what else caught our eyes this week.

Introducing Revolve Los Angeles

The party-dress purveyors at Revolve are taking matters into their own hands with an in-house label that is guaranteed to make several appearances in our party roundups — and the streets of Los Angeles. The line has couture-level finishes that don’t compromise on their ability to last from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Bella hadid made a natural choice to show off the West Coast meets Euro-party-chic sensibility of the clothes. The first drop is on Mar. 9, with sizes ranging from XXS to XL and prices starting from $200.

Sarah Pidgeon Is Making The Most Of Her Love Story

Pidgeon was a fashion darling before she played one of the most imitated style legends of our time, but since her turn as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy on Love Story has made her the It girl of the moment (and for us, naturally), it’s been full steam ahead. She popped up at the Prada show in Milan, was the best-dressed star at the Actor Awards in Balenciaga days later, and then wore the most covetable turquoise Chanel heels on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (it is the go-to brand for late-night, after all). She quickly turned back around to Europe, where she will no doubt attend the Balenciaga show, given her off-duty spotting toting a Rodeo bag. Welcome to the It-girl upper class, Ms. Pidgeon.

Puma & Madhappy Are Back Again

The coziest label around is releasing their second collection with Puma, which features more pastel Speedcats (this time in delicious satin) and a more comprehensive wardrobe collection. We’re getting the nylon sweatsuit and the ballerina-pink Speedcats when the collection drops at 12 p.m. ET on Mar. 6.

Thom Browne Made Sneakers You Can Wear To The Office

I mean, we wear sneakers to the office all the time, but if you’re an Industry-type executive looking for a spicier Casual Friday shoe, these shoes made in collaboration with Asics will do the job. The Gel-Kayano style will look great with a suit, sweats, or denim shorts come summer. The gray and black color-ways already sold out, but the white will be available on Mar. 23.

Dôen Hits The Upper East Side

The Upper East Side is now playing host to the downtown set who are sick of hearing thumping music until 4 a.m. from their windows, but still have a deep love for fashion. Virtually all of our favorite brands have set up shop above 57th Street; Dôen is the latest to settle onto Madison Avenue. Expect the same impeccable assortment of casual dresses, knits, and other bits and bobs that moms and their cool daughters will never tire of.

Acne Studios has become synonymous with the pop divas and alt legends of our times. Who else at Paris Fashion Week is putting Charli xcx and Robyn in their campaigns and seating Bladee on a giant tire-slash-art-installation to take in the runway? The latest show had no shortage of our favorite musicians perched in the front row — Oklou, Chappell Roan, and Ravyn Lenae, to name a few — including Lucy Dacus, making her first Paris Fashion Week appearance alongside Julien Baker.

Dacus is a practical dresser with, naturally, a streak of romance injected (not unlike her music), so her look for the show was both no-nonsense for stomping through a Parisian courtyard and a full-circle moment. Her dreams of wearing a skirt over pants came true again, as well as her dreams of reading Gertrude Stein front row. Before she hit the show, her track of choice was 666 by Aphrodite’s Child. “They’re a Greek psych rock band from the ‘70s and their album 666 is a concept record about the book of Revelations.” Who doesn’t love the sound of prog rock streaming out of an open window?

It’s a Paris cliché to have everything one does in the city feel romanticized, but when you’re attending a fashion show with your girlfriend and wearing a slip dress and jeans, isn’t everything romantic? (We’ll let Charli xcx answer that one.) Keep scrolling to see how Dacus made it to and from the show, with an apartment lock-out, mirror selfies, and stairwell snaps in between.

“On the way to the show with our little friend Ashley Gellman.”

“The final walk at the show.”

“Julien got locked out so we had to throw the keys down.”

“Gertrude Stein, tarot cards, Tylenol, camera.”

“Looking longingly at Ashley.”

“Julien looking cute.”

“Petting my dog.”

“WIND.”

“In elementary school, I loved wearing skirts and pants and then the world told me no. So it means a lot for Acne to tell me yes.”

You only get one debut album, so you might as well make a statement. For most artists, bold displays of sexual liberation and blush-inducing retellings of past dalliances would certainly scratch that itch. But Cobrah isn’t most artists.

The Swedish singer and producer, who got her start in the Berlin music scene circa 2018, has been making pearl-clutching club hits since she uttered the words “F*cked my head until I got sore / Lost it, punched him down on the floor” on her inaugural single, “IDFKA.” It was this raucous, scandalous attitude that would shape the next three EPs and five years of her career. But by time she got to work on her debut in 2023, Cobrah was ready to shed her provocateur persona and take a more personal approach. “I just felt like it wasn’t exciting anymore to say ‘Suck my cl*t,’” the artist, 29, tells NYLON.

From this metamorphosis came Torn, Cobrah’s latest offering and first LP. Easily her most introspective work to date, the album strips Cobrah of her incendiary mask to reveal the vulnerable interiority of a woman exploring a new side of herself — one who loves hard, desires long-term commitment, and fears heartbreak. “[In the past,] I’ve presented myself as a vessel,” she says. “I portrayed characters to make myself as a fantasy come alive. This whole album is about not pretending.” Of course, there’s still plenty of raunchy, sultriness for Day-One Cobrah fans to enjoy (minus the wigs and hair extensions), resulting in a body of work that is uniquely complex, avant-garde, and multidimensional as the woman who made it.

To celebrate Torn’s long-awaited arrival March 6, we caught up with Cobrah over Zoom to discuss her love of TikTok edits, upcoming Coachella debut, and dream Paris Hilton collab.

Your debut album is right around the corner. How are you feeling?

I’m feeling really good. Very, very, very, very excited. I’ve wanted to do an album for a very long time, and I can’t really kind of believe that it’s happening. I thought I would do an album like five years ago or something, but the opportunity or the stars didn’t really align at the time, and now they do, so it kind of feels like a dream come true. It sounds really cringy to say it, but I’ve been an artist for sometime, and I’ve done cool shows and fun things, but I’ve never done an album. So, it’s nice to have a new first. That’s a pretty big thing.

You’ve been releasing music for so long. Why wait so long to drop your debut album?

Well, if you asked me, I would've dropped my debut seven years ago if I could. But in the beginning when I was making music, nobody was interested in signing me. So, I created my own label, Gag Ball, and then I put up my music through my label, [an] independent release. After I did that — my first EP — the pandemic hit, so the world was very still. As it was opening up, I was like, “OK, well, my EP is old now.” All of a sudden, I didn't get to tour it or live it, so I might as well just do a second EP and try again. That's why I wrote “Good Puss” and “Brand New B*tch” and those songs.

So, after that, people listened to my music, and I signed with a label, and the label said, “Well, Cobrah, wouldn't you be into making an EP?” I was like, “No, I don't want to make my EPs,” but I did it because I was like, “OK, cool, of course, why not?” Now I finally get to do an album, but it's just like, how hard can it be to make an album? It's much, much harder than I thought when I was an artist. I didn't even think I would be doing more than one EP. But you get what you get, I guess, in life, and you try to make the best of it.

How long have you been working on this album?

I wrote the first song, “Torn,” before the Succubus EP was released, so that is three years ago. When I got back from touring in 2024, I was in Paris and I wrote the skeleton of the album, and then we finished it up in 2025. It's been kind of a long process, but when you do a debut, I think it's worth to take the time it takes. No one's waiting for the next one — everyone's just waiting for the first one. Maybe in the future I won't have as much time to really be as delicate with it.

How has your songwriting evolved over the three years from when you first wrote “Torn”?

When I got back from tour and I was in Paris writing these songs, on the first day, we wrote a club song that was repetitive with a lyric hook in the chorus and [other] things that I've developed into my sound. And it didn't excite me anymore. It was just not as thrilling. I felt like the world was kind of catching up a little bit to the sound that I have, and I was like, “This doesn't feel new; this doesn't feel like I'm reinventing anything.” When you make an EP, you have to be very to the point. People have to understand who you are in a very short amount of songs. When you get to do an album, you get to do double or [triple] as much of songs as you get to do on an EP. You have time to be more complicated or more in depth.

I wanted to work on my songwriting and tell more and be more complex. I told my producers, “Let's not write music for the album. Let's just write music and think of it like we're just trying to open our minds to whatever inspiration is going to give us this week and see what happens.” And that's what we did. That's kind of where I tried to develop this new sound. We wrote songs like “Excusez Moi” because we were in Paris, obviously, but we also wrote songs like “Snow White” [and] “Hit Girl” as well. We wrote a little bit of “Platinum,” and we just kind of started diving more into other tempos and melodies.

What are, or who are, some of your biggest inspirations when making music? It doesn't necessarily have to be an artist. Is there a subculture that you’re really influenced by?

I'm going to be honest and say something that you probably wouldn't think, but I, like everyone, [am] scrolling on TikTok all the time. It's not like I wanted to make TikTok music, but there [is] this genre of TikTok where they make edits, like they make [an] edit of a movie, and then they put this really emotional song behind it. I love those edits. They started popping up more and more, people driving cars with cool themes in the background, and I was like, “Oh, my God, this is such a vibe.” Maybe that's part of the reason why the album is very cinematic and why I wanted to make videos that felt like a whole movie because I was just really in love with that vibe. Obviously, you make the music you want to make. I didn't make the music where it's like “oh, it has to fit into a TikTok edit,” but it was with that kind of emotion I went into the studio.

Your creative direction is very latex focused. What is it about latex that speaks to you so much?

It makes me feel so cool. The first time we tried it on, I was like, “Oh, my God, I'm the baddest b*tch in the world. Nothing compares to me.” It's not like putting on a normal thong and a bra or a leotard or anything, it's just it makes your body look amazing no matter what you look like, and it makes you look really sexy, but also very dominant. It's also very niche, which I've always been really into niche things. It just ticks all my boxes.

You’re set to make your Coachella debut this year. How are you feeling? Are you excited, nervous, scared?

I feel very excited. I've never been at Coachella, so I don't know what to expect, really. I don't try to expect too much. When I think about Coachella, I think about the show that we're going to make because I don't know anything about it apart from that it's a really big deal, but I think the most important thing that you do is your work. The show we're doing at Coachella is going to be [as] wonderful as all of the other shows that we're doing on tour. We're putting on the same show for Coachella as I'm doing in Dallas or New York. I try to prep and think of it as just do the best tour, including Coachella, if that makes sense.

Is there a song that you’re really excited for people to hear on the album?

I'm really excited to play one of the songs that is not a single, “Hit Girl.” That's the song that I really, really like. I feel like it's a musical theater number, but in the most Cobrah way possible, where it's like it starts with a rap and it's cool, and then it goes to this really a thorough little pre-chorus melody, and then the hook is like a club hook. Then, the second verse sounds like you're in a jazz club, and I think it's going to be very, very fun to play live, just because it has so many different elements.

Is there a song that you're nervous to put out?

I think “Charming” is the odd one out because it's the ballad, and it's probably the most personal one. It's about being in a relationship, which is a very, very complex and emotional thing. I've never really written a ballad like that before. It's just really, really honest. The scariest thing is when you're as close to the truth as possible and you're the most vulnerable and also sonically [doing] something very, very new. I'm slightly nervous, but also I've always wanted to write a song where people put up their phones and put the flashlight on and kind of wave it from side to side. I really hope that that will happen.

Would you say this is your most personal work to date?

Yeah, for sure. This is a big step.

What made you want to go in that direction?

I'm always into the extremes of things. For the last tour, I was upside down on a cross with my legs spread open, singing “Suck my cl*t,” and I was full-frontal naked in a music video. I'm into the thrill of being a creative and [an] artist and putting myself out there. I'm always in the highest of heels and the tightest of corsets and latex, and I'm sweating and I'm cold, and it's always awful and really fun at the same time.

But I felt like I pushed it. I was like, “I cannot say anything more grotesque than this.” I didn't think it at the time, but I’m always chasing the thrill of my artistry. This is incredibly thrilling to be so exposed, but in a completely different way, in a way where you can be much, much, much more hurt if it's not received well. It's really exciting and fun and scary at the same time to open up myself to the inner things rather than the outer things. It's a new extreme for me.

You just put a lot of emphasis on excitement and being excited by things. Who or what are you excited by right now?

I hope I get to work with more artists for the next songs that I'm putting out. I hope to do more collaborations. I feel like this album is expanding my world, and hopefully I'll get to do more wider things. Also, what excites me is that... Well, this is not even going to happen, but I am potentially future excited to do a little bit more acting in movies. I'm manifesting it through all the edits that I've been so inspired by. Oh, and I've recently been watching the Fallout series. That's really good.

You mentioned working with other artists. Is there anyone that you’re dying to work with?

There's two ways to think about it. I feel like some artists, I know that we're going to work together one day. I just see it in the stars. [Other] artists, I'm wishing so hard for because it's so far out. I'm dying to do a thing with Paris Hilton or a living icon. I’m excited by doing things with people [who do] not do music but [do] it for fun. I feel like that's a more fun approach to collaborations rather than picking the most famous one or the coolest one. I'm really into characters, and I think Paris Hilton is one of them. Every song she puts out I like to play before I go on stage. I think she's just a very, very funny icon.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Dree Hemingway has seen your memes. The actor, who recently portrayed Daryl Hannah on FX’s Love Story, knows the reception to her role has been mixed, but she’s not bothered — she’s laughing along with the rest of us. “The memes are funny,” the 38-year-old tells NYLON over Zoom. “I’m here for all of it. Everybody deserves to have an opinion. I know I have mine.”

Set in ’90s-era New York City, the latest anthology series from superproducer Ryan Murphy tells the tale of Carolyn Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr.’s whirlwind romance with the help of some scene-stealing set pieces and covetable vintage Calvin Klein looks. But before there was Carolyn, there was Daryl. Hannah and JFK Jr. dated on and off for five years, with the dissolution of their relationship playing out on Love Story. And though it was probably a distressing time to be Daryl Hannah, both in reality and in fiction, Hemingway loved every minute of it.

“I would love to be Daryl all day long,” she says. “That would be literally the dream. It was such a joy playing her. There’s a sensitivity, there’s a realness about her, and she’s so specifically who she is that it was just so fun to explore that world of Daryl.”

Now, with the cultural phenomenon in the rearview, we’re catching up with Hemingway to get her true thoughts on the reactions to her role, working with Murphy, and the inside scoop on her next project: a film about her great-grandfather Ernest Hemingway’s final years.

I imagine you’ve been getting a lot of attention lately for your role in Love Story. How has that been for you?

It’s been so nice. It’s nice to get attention for something that you’ve worked really hard on. It’s fun to see people being so invested in this show. You work so hard and you spend so much time with something and then it finally comes out and you just are like, “All right, here you go.”

Have you been seeing people’s reactions to your portrayal online?

I have seen people’s reactions. I’ve seen people being like “Oh, she’s so annoying.” And then looking up Daryl and being like “Oh, she did a good job” or something like that. But it’s good that people are talking. I guess that’s all we could really want.

The job is you do your work, you put in your energy, and then it goes into the ether, they edit it and it comes out. At the end of the day, it’s up to the universe and the people.

I read that you wrote a letter to Daryl [Hannah]. What was the vibe of the note?

It was really just a love note to her saying how much I admired her, how much I’ve admired her as an actress and a woman, prior to even being cast as Daryl. How much I really just fell in love with her as a human being. I watched interviews and that feeling of really spending time with somebody you’ve never spent time with, but researching. That was really the note, and just not like “Hey, I want to meet you or talk to you.” Just, like, “It was really an honor of my lifetime to be able to portray you and research you.”

Is there a reason why you didn’t want to speak with her directly?

I would have loved to directly have spoken to her, but I guess there’s nerves in directly speaking to somebody. I also didn’t want to intrude in any way. I didn’t want to make her feel awkward if that were something that she didn’t want to do or something.

Did you end up hearing back from her?

I haven’t heard back from her, but that’s OK. It was not the expectation. It was more so just like “I really appreciate you. I admire you as a person, a philanthropist, an actress.” I wasn’t trying to have her communicate back.

I also think [she needs] her own time. The show’s just come out; I'm sure there’s a lot to digest there and stuff like that. What I really want to emphasize is that this is a dramatization. We are not exactly portraying her or how something went down. There’s a fiction involved in all of this. With any person that you loved and you were dating, I’m sure it’s a hard thing. So, I think that it’s nice to respect that and her.

Had anyone ever told you that you looked like Daryl Hannah before filming?

No, but it was funny because I remember growing up my mom used to be stopped in the airport as either Daryl or Michelle Pfeiffer. Never Mariel [Hemingway]. I assume that if my mom is stopped, then I look similar to my mother.

What were some of the interviews and clips that you watched to really learn how to be Daryl?

I have an amazing dialect coach, and we dug up a couple of interviews. I didn’t want to watch any of her films, because I wasn’t trying to play her as the actress, it was very much just her.

There’s a couple different interviews I found that had different energies to them. There [were] the quieter versions or the more outspoken, and I just wanted to see how she was and how her mannerisms were. It was more of a study of that, in a sense. And then taking those mannerisms of what I had seen and interviews I had read of hers and stuff like that, and just trying to exude as much of what I felt was genuinely her into the character.

Will we see more of Daryl on Love Story?

No. It’s the Carolyn Bessette, JFK [Jr.] story, and you’re seeing the end of his relationship with Daryl, which was a very long relationship. It was two people who had so much history together and who had really been through it together, and then you see him meet his love. [It’s] the end of that love story into the new love story.

What was it like working with the cast and the crew?

Everybody is so talented. Ryan [Murphy]’s sets are really a beautiful machine that everybody knows what they’re doing. The cast were incredible. Mainly my scenes were all with Paul Anthony Kelly, and I love him tremendously. I couldn’t be happier for him. I think he is so deserving of everything and all the praise he’s getting. I think he’s so magnificent.

Sarah [Pidgeon], we only met when we were in hair and makeup, but I love her as well. She’s beyond talented. Grace Gummer is incredible. It was just such a magical feeling being on that set, because I think we were all just so excited to be doing what we were doing. It’s such a great love story. The writing was so incredible, and [showrunner] Connor Hines is amazing. Connor Hines in general is my fashion icon, because his outfits were so magical while filming. I was like, “What are you wearing today, Connor?”

Even ... Ceglia Michelle, who is head of hair, is incredible. Everybody’s their own artist. It was just a really great experience.

Fashion obviously plays a huge role in the show. Were there any specific looks that you really loved or items that you wore that you’ve incorporated into your wardrobe after filming?

I’m not a big dress girl, and I’ve definitely become more of a dress girl after doing this. Especially the wardrobe that Rudy had come up with for Daryl, was very... It felt very kind of ’90s Galliano-esque, but more vintage in a sense. These dresses with these swoop necks and falling to the ground, stunning. Most everything I wore was no-name vintage. That was very much Daryl as well.

I really, really fell in love with the outfit that I wore to meet Jackie [Kennedy Onassis] for dinner, when Jackie doesn’t show up at dinner. I felt like it was very much Daryl’s take on trying to do a Chanel suit and doing a dressed up look for that family. I thought it was very chic.

You’re currently in the process of producing your first project, [The Hemingway Files], a film about your great-grandfather. What is it like working on something so personal?

We’re at the very beginning stages still. It’s very exciting. It’s personal, but it’s also, like, he’s still such a thing to people. It’s the end of his life, and I think it’s a very personal and intimate time that a lot of people don’t necessarily know about. I’m excited for this one. If done really well, which I think it will be, there’ll be a lot of information that I think people didn’t know.

When you say “in the early stages”...

We’re still casting and things like that. We have a script that we’re perfecting [with] incredible writers. Originally, the script was there, and I was asked to join in. This isn’t me putting together this project; I was graciously invited into it. I’m really grateful, because I really love it very, very much.

I have a mental image of you sifting through old boxes of family journals or documents that have been passed down, but I’m sure it’s not really like that when you’re working on something like this.

There’s some of that, and there’s a lot of people who aren’t a part of our family, who are historians in knowledge of him and who have done so much research. There’s a lot of talking to them and also, yeah, less sifting through boxes, but I wish it were as glamorous as sifting through old family boxes. We can pretend.

Is there anything you learned about your great-grandfather that you didn’t know before?

I’m going to not give anything away. I don’t want to give anything away. I really don’t.

This is going to have a biographical element to it, as does Love Story. How do you think your experience working on Love Story will influence your approach to The Hemingway Files?

It’s really just doing the research and trying to do right by everybody who’s involved in the story, if that makes sense. But I think it’s two different birds. When you do anything that is based on people — real people — you really have to do the research. What’s really nice about Love Story is that, even though this is a dramatization, he really is focusing on the love story and isn’t trying to cut anybody down in any way. I think it’s been very beautifully portrayed.

With The Hemingway Files, there’s an element of that and the showing... I don’t want to give too much away, but I think it’s the research and the writing and really trying to portray a story in a beautiful way that’s also touching to the audience and touching to the families involved.

I know you said you’re still casting, but would you ever consider taking a role?

There’s no role for me. Unless I’m in Idaho in the bar working... I could do that. Take a real small cameo. But honestly, there’s no part of me that joined this to be in it. This really is not about me; this is about him. I signed on, which is an honor to be involved in this, but I’m only a little factor of this project.

Do you have a message for the Love Story fans out there?

Watch it and enjoy. We need more love in our life right now in the world that we’re living in. Just bask in the addiction of the Ryan Murphy Love Story.

Ryan Murphy is known for these anthology series, so hopefully next time he makes [one], we’ll see you back as a whole new character.

I would love to be back. Anything Ryan does, I would be honored to be a part of. I think he is so talented, and it’s a really fun world to live in. I’m really honored that I was asked to be a part of this one.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

In the words of a wise prophet on her debut album, “I don’t need your drugs, I’d rather get high fashion.” I am, of course, talking about Addison Rae, who is not only a devoted couture dresser, but a girl from Louisiana who loves her denim and lace. Her first jeans collaboration with Lucky Brand was an instant hit, selling out almost immediately, and she’s back for more. This time, it’s all about the short short.

The first inkling of spring weather is upon us, so the drop of the Addison Ultra Low Short feels like a godsend and harbinger of sweaty, sun-kissed times to come. The low-rise short (which comes in two color-ways, Manifest and Legacy) features a frayed hem and four-leaf-clover-covered pockets, bringing Rae’s Y2Chaos to daisy dukes that will fold into your Coachella carry-on virtually unnoticed (that’s how small they are). Rae is never one to wear something that would stop her from moving, and the campaign shows just how much wiggle room these shorts have.

"The response to the first drop surpassed all expectations. What started as a sincere love for the brand blossomed into something that feels like a true extension of me,” Rae says via press release. “It has me feeling very fortunate to keep building with Lucky. This next piece feels like a natural evolution. It’s about movement, self-confidence and embracing your body. Being able to share this collaboration, that is so creatively driven, as my vision and artistry grows is really special." The timing couldn’t be more perfect as festival season is upon us, and with pieces from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection from Lucky Brand, Rae gives us a mood board for our warmer-weather music-related travels. The shorts-and-boots combo feels fresh with the pockets hanging out, and Rae’s commitment to old-school pin-up vibes gives us reason to grab a corset or turn a T-shirt into a bra for our Coachella style-outs. When all else fails, a Canadian tuxedo is a classic that is only made more alluring with cheeky cowboy boots to lean into the Southern roots of it all.

The Addison Ultra Low Shorts are available in-store and on-site at luckybrand.com and macys.com for $89.50.

This month, NYLON House is unveiling the inaugural Dance 100, a celebration of the DJs and electronic artists ruling dance floors right now. To help capture the pulse of nightlife, we assembled a panel of 60 insider judges from every corner of the music industry — managers, bookers, agents, programmers, label heads, and more — to score acts on a 1-10 scale across six criteria: streaming impact; live presence; cultural influence and virality; audience engagement; artistic innovation; and professional standing. Get to know our experts below before we unveil the full ranked list on March 19.

In 2026, we finally have some good news on the fashion front: Bella Hadid is back on the fashion-month circuit. Sure, it looks a bit different from when she was walking 20 or so shows during her early modeling days, but we’re happy to see her hitting the pavement nonetheless. She’s had an exclusive contract with Saint Laurent for some seasons now, but she just crossed Prada off her runway bucket list by walking four times in one show at her very first catwalk for the brand. She also walked Saint Laurent in Paris, and along the way, launched Orebella in Italy and an exclusive Miss Sixty collaboration.

Busy girls can’t be fussing over couture outfits or hand-selecting designer pieces; they need daily drivers that go from plane to meeting to backstage without a second thought. Hadid’s outerwear choices in both Milan and Paris suggest this sort of no-nonsense dressing comes naturally to the supermodel. Whether exiting Linate Airport or her Parisian hotel, the outerwear not only does all the talking, it ensures she can cozy up if it gets cold and remove the layer should it get sunny and warm. We’ve broken down six of her jackets below, with some styling tips and exact pieces where we could find them.

The Airplane-Ready Trench

Traveling internationally is already a logistical headache, which Hadid knows, so for her plane ‘fit, she threw on a nylon trench coat that can be squished into the tiniest of overhead bins or smushed under the seat in front of her. Not only is it convenient, but it’s an all-weather piece that will have you covered should the weather turn gray and rainy in Milan or Paris.

The High-Fashion Leather Bomber

Some preloved leather jackets have spoken to us both on secondhand resale apps and the corners of Brooklyn vintage stores, but a brand-new piece is a worthwhile investment. Bella chose a Prada jacket to head into her Prada fitting, and the cropped blouson bomber does all the heavy lifting with the otherwise casual outfit. These aren’t the most budget-friendly pieces, but for something that will last decades in your closet, they’re worth the splurge.

The Lady In Suede

Another Milanese moment in Prada for Ms. Hadid, this time in a classic Prada jacket with a rounded collar and cropped fit. Do as Bella does and keep the rest of the outfit black when wearing a tan suede piece, and pick something up with no zipper so the button styling can be your playground every time you wear it. (We’d also suggest buttoning it all the way up and wearing it atop a slip dress.)

The Easy-Peasy Canvas Zip-Up

For a workwear outfit, this is as low-key as it gets for Hadid. When the weather is finicky (aka 40 degrees at 10 a.m. and 65 degrees at 4 p.m.), grab a light jacket like this and layer with a T-shirt, hoodie, and tank top for maximizing your sweat-free options.

You can take the girl out of Malibu, but you can never take the Malibu out of the girl. This outfit is equal parts French and Cali girl, and is yet another cozy travel look for Ms. Hadid. Find a statement outerwear moment and pair with your knit and jeans of choice.

The Fur-Trimmed Cardigan

A cardigan can be outerwear if the weather permits, and Paris’s skies opened up just in time for Bella to pull out this amazing vintage piece. She kept up her workwear vibe with the rest of the look, and take note of how she buttoned just the top button so as to tuck her hair in.

When you embody Carolyn Bessette Kennedy as well as Sarah Pidgeon does on Love Story, your style is bound to become a topic of conversation. But Rhode knew it was only a matter of time before the discourse would expand to glam, so naturally the brand has tapped the up-and-coming actor for her first-ever beauty campaign.

For her latest role, Pidgeon is assisting in the rollout of Rhode’s newest shade launches, starting with the Pocket Blush in Candy Apple. As the company’s first red blush, the product promises to warm and brighten your cheeks with its rosy pigment and gold and red pearls. If the crimson color is a little too bold for your liking, the brand has also introduced its new raspberry-pink Teacup shade just in time for spring.

Also featured in the campaign is Rhode’s newest limited edition offering, a Peptide Lip Tint in Sweet Pea and Pretzel. The launch marks the first time the shades will be available for purchase since coming out victorious in a customer-led vote for favorite in-production products last year, and before you ask: yes, the shades are also getting their own matching Snap-On Lip Cases.

The new shades drop on the Rhode website on March 9 at noon ET.

Spring is in hand, and we have a better sense of who might take home an Oscar after the Actor Awards last night. Well, we have a sense of who might win Best Actress (Jessie Buckley), as the other awards are up in the air. It’s shaking out to be a race to the end that has more question marks than exclamation points, and the fun is reflected in kind on the red carpets as well.

Long gone are the days of celebrities, say, buying several dresses for promotional junkets and calling on designers for one special gown. No: We are in the midst of a custom-clothing boon, with A-listers signaling both their immaculate taste and ties to specific luxury houses with bespoke clothing for all manner of events, from the smallest of dinners all the way to the Oscars. With more dresses and suits than we know what to do with in the rearview mirror, we’re taking stock of the best-dressed girls and guys before we head into the final stretches of awards season. Disclaimer: Some of our favorite dressers have ended their awards-season runs (not everyone can be Academy Award nominated every year, after all) but deserve to remain on our ranking for their commitment to excellent. Without further ado, see where the stars fall before Holllywood’s biggest night on Mar. 15.

Tessa Thompson

Previous ranking: 8

Just like that weird Taylor Swift lyric about Charlie Puth, we declared Tessa Thompson should be a bigger artist. She was the best-dressed star at Tory Burch’s New York Fashion Week show, and stylist Karla Welch snagged this Collina Strada dress off the Fall/Winter 2026 runway for Thompson to make her own at the Indie Spirit Awards three days after it walked. She hasn’t been to much else after this red carpet, but she is holding down her spot on our list due to her looking so d*mn cool all the time.

Renate Reinsve

Previous ranking: 4

The Norwegian actor best known for her work with Joachim Trier is back with a tear-jerking performance in Sentimental Value — which we think will get her an Oscar nom — and more delicious fashion moments. Her relationship with Louis Vuitton means lots of custom dresses that are works of architecture in themselves, and she’s become something of a bastion of minimalism. Case in point: This custom black velvet moment with a massive cutout and simple, not-distracting Boucheron necklace. The hair is also capital-H Hot.

Jacob Elordi

Previous ranking: 9

Not only is Elordi a first-time Oscar nominee with his role as the monster in Frankenstein, he’s also launching his blockbuster-hunk era as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. He’s a Bottega Veneta baddie through and through, wearing almost exclusively Louise Trotter’s dapper designs, and it’s virtually impossible for him to look bad in anything.

Jessie Buckley

Previous ranking: 10

Jessie Buckley is the frontrunner for the Best Actress Oscar, thanks to her devastating, once-in-a-generation performance in Hamnet. She’s also got our fashion hearts in a bind, thanks to her stylist Danielle Goldberg and the way they tackle red carpets. It’s uncomplicated beauty with an edge, just like this sculptural, wrap-around bespoke Balenciaga gown paired with Jessica McCormack jewels.

Emma Stone

Previous ranking: 6

Stone is now in the all-time greats conversation (if she wasn’t already previously) with her fifth acting nomination at the Oscars. She’s also climbing the ranks of our power ranking with her straightforward take on red carpets this season, with nary a necklace in sight. For the Actor Awards, she channeled a bit of ‘90s red-carpet dressing with a slinky cardigan from Louis Vuitton.

Eva Victor

Previous ranking: 3

Victor’s directorial debut, Sorry, Baby, is one of NYLON’s favorite films of the year, and their streamlined approach to dressing has found its fit with both Loewe and stylist Danielle Goldberg. They won big at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, scooping Best Screenplay (and Naomi Ackie took home Best Supporting Performance for her turn in Victor’s movie), and winning the carpet with this archival Donna Karan gray. They haven’t popped out elsewhere since this look, but they deserve to stay high up on our list for impeccable execution throughout the season.

Timothée Chalamet

Previous ranking: 7

The man behind the most viral movie marketing of the year knows his fashion. As his buzzcut grows out, he’s sticking to the same double-breasted silhouette for most of his public outings, many of which are made by Givenchy by Sarah Burton. For the Actor Awards, however, he switched up designers and went for Prada — but kept on-theme with a double-breasted suit jacket.

Chase Infiniti

Previous ranking: 5

One of the prettiest faces of the moment, and of the awards season, is a Louis Vuitton girl through and through. While her Golden Globes sculptural Vuitton moment made our best-dressed list, she’s delighted at every turn with fashion that is playful and dramatic. The custom Louis Vuitton dress she wore at the Actor Awards was still in line with her architectural playfulness, but brought an old-school Jazz Age edge that felt youthful.

Elle Fanning

Previous ranking: 2

Fanning, like Reinsve, delivers a grounded, striking performance in Sentimental Value, and also knows how important humanity is in her fashion. She’s previously debuted Sarah Burton’s Givenchy at the Oscars and has ties to brands like Coach and Gucci, but she’s not afraid to play the field, something that works in her favor. All her looks have an air of Old Hollywood about them, but she brings them into the 21st century with modern glam and just the right touch of accessories — just like this classic sweetheart-neckline Elie Saab with a scarlet lip.

Teyana Taylor

Previous ranking: 1

Nobody is having more fun shapeshifting for every premiere, event, and award ceremony this season than Taylor. She goes from vixen to fashion darling and back again, showing off her infamous washboard abs — and genuine love for fashion. Her body was the inspiration for this sculpted, anatomical Thom Browne, which fit within an inch of her life and brought the most drama out of anyone at the Actor Awards. It’s going to be tough to dethrone her top position, which she’s held since the Golden Globes.

Milan Fashion Week is the third of four whirlwind runway extravaganzas during Fashion Month, and has some of the most diverse voices in the industry. There are the juggernauts like Prada and Fendi, the tailoring kings like BOSS and Giorgio Armani, and the cool kids like GCDS and Avavav. Pop sensation Emilia made it to the Italian fashion capital in true style; her looks across the week are a sampling of what makes the Milanese style set tick.

She was front-row at a host of shows during the week, including BOSS, Moschino, Roberto Cavalli, and GCDS, switching up the vibe depending on what the occasion called for. At BOSS, it was a double-breasted suit with a tie and glasses; at GCDS, it was sexy Miami club kid with a Hello Kitty-themed dress and stripped-lite heels; and at Moschino, it was glamazon time with a trench-coat dress and bouncy waves. Wherever she went, she had her trusty glam team (and boyfriend Duki) to hype her up. Keep scrolling for a behind-the-scenes look at how she turned into Milan’s fashionable chameleon this week.

Anyone who has spent more than 48 hours in Italy knows the Italians do it better than the rest. What is “it,” you may ask? Life, generally, but food, wine, culture, and yes, fashion top the list. After playing host to the Winter Olympic Games, Milan shifted gears and got their finest venues ready for the smattering of runways during a short ‘n’ sweet Milan Fashion Week.

Although it’s only a four-day stint in the northern Italian hub, it has enough news to keep us waking up bright and early to catch the runway livestreams. A few critical debuts are happening: Maria Grazia Chiuri at Fendi, Meryll Rogge at Marni, and Demna at Gucci — his runway debut, that is. We’ve already got a taste of his vision for the house, and we are thirsty for more. The two women making debuts join the likes of Louise Trotter at Bottega Veneta and Miuccia Prada as the few female designers showing on the schedule in Milan. As we still make sense of the fashion-designer musical chairs, they’re still making sense of what celebrities will be the best representations of their new creative energy. The A-list arrivals this week will be telling, especially at Fendi, Gucci, and Marni. Keep checking back to see the faces and brands you know and love linking up for front-row magic.

We love to shoutout the unsung heroes of the entertainment and fashion industries who make our favorites look good (and arrive on time) — stylists, makeup artists, agents, you name it. My first thought when looking at Burberry’s latest juggernaut of a campaign was the casting agent who secured the 23 global superstars for “The Trench: Portraits of an Icon,” pulling off a feat of fashion genius with an unrivaled group of legends.

The beloved mackintosh purveyors of the rainiest island in Europe are turning 170 this year, and to commemorate their ingenious gabardine-and-tartan outerwear, they went bigger than ever with a cast of actors, musicians, models, and all-around stars rocking the classic tan pieces. In fact, the classic Burberry trench is so legendary, they didn’t even need to put the photos in color — you know exactly what hue the coats are. Starting with the British legends, Kate Moss is of course in the mix, alongside early-aughts runway superstar Agyness Deyn and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Matthew Macfadyen posed gamely with a pigeon on his head, something we think Tom Wambsgans would laugh at.

More Anglomania came with the addition of a NYLON favorite Little Simz, the cutest tennis player around Jack Draper, Internet boyfriend extraordinaire Jonathan Bailey, and trend-setting actress Daisy Edgar-Jones. Rounding out the list of our Burberry-campaign draft picks includes two Americans who have made the check-collared outerwear their own in recent memory: Teyana Taylor and Kendall Jenner. We’re exhausted just thinking of the call-sheet for this shoot.

Tim Walker — yet another British legend — was behind the lens to shoot all 23 ladies and gents for this series of portraits. This marks another huge win for Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee, who has reimagined the brand’s ethos in campaigns that feel both nostalgic and futuristic. There’s a sense of familiarity, personality, and coziness in the images — despite the white background — that ground the brand in tradition while also embracing the whimsy and camp that define English style. When you’re at the helm of a brand associated with rain, check-covered collars, and wellies, there’s no choice but to push the imagery forward and make everyone feel seen.

The penultimate major stop on the awards-season circuit is the SAG Awards the Actor Awards. The new name reflects the way the ceremony has worked since its inception: Actors are nominated and awarded by their fellow peers in the Screen Actors Guild. It’s considered the mark of an actor who might go on to win an Oscar in a few weeks’ time, and it’s being hosted by funny girl Kristen Bell for the third time.

For the first time, there is also a dress code: “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the '20s and '30s.” A lot of our favorites have already been doing this on carpets this year (Selena Gomez, Ayo Edebiri), wearing column gowns, bias-cut silks, and leaning into coiffed hair and traditional silver-screen makeup. Just like the Met Gala’s theme, interpretation is the name of the game. We expect some people to go traditional — we’re thinking of gamine nominees like Emma Stone, Elle Fanning, and Jessie Buckley — and others to go a bit left of center. We can surely rely on Timothée Chalamet, Odessa A’zion, and Teyana Taylor to make it their own in ways we can only dream of. This is also the last tentpole event for stars to secure a firm spot on our awards-season power ranking. Keep this tab open as the nominees and presenters arrive for the newly named, newly dress-coded Actor Awards.

Demna’s first runway show for Gucci was sex on a stick for the 2026 customer who dabbles in AI, looks-maxxes whenever they can, and appreciates la dolce vita. Victoria Villarroel was front-row for it all — at what was also her first Gucci show — and instead of sitting next to her coterie of It-girl friends, she watched them walk the football-field-long catwalk. “My jaw was on the floor when I saw Sydney, Gabbi, Amelia, and Vitto!!! I am so so obsessed with them.” In case you’re unaware, she means Sydney Carlson (who made her runway debut — lots of firsts), Gabbriette, Amelia Gray, and Vittoria Ceretti.

But before she took in “Primavera” alongside Devon Lee Carlson, Shawn Mendes, Ivy Getty, and other front-row darlings, she took her time getting ready. Her soundtrack of choice for the morning prep was, of course, Charli, baby! “I’ve been listening to Charli xcx’s album Wuthering Heights nonstop. I can’t stop, won’t stop. I love it so much. Makes me FEEL many things.” In the beauty department, she opted for a classic blowout and low-key glam, so as to not distract from the double-G jacket and short shorts. See how the look all came together, along with her favorite runway looks and preshow fuel, below.

The shortest and sweetest month of the year is coming to a close, and after all the literal and psychological hangovers that New York Fashion Week, Lunar New Year, and Valentine’s Day brought us, we’re ready to keep it pushing and usher in spring. Before we leave behind our outerwear and send our scarves to the dry cleaners, though, there were a few reasons to throw on a fur and hit the pavement this week. In Milan, the toast of the Prada show was, of course, Bella Hadid, and over in London, Valentino Beauty kept their reputation as the party-throwing beauty brand in the biz. Keep reading to see how Julia Fox got away with three different animal prints in one outfit.

Valentino Beauty Throws The House Party Of Fashion Month

How do you ensure a night out goes from good to unforgettable? For starters, make Colman Domingo your host. Valentino Beauty launched their latest fragrance, Born in Roma Purple Melancholia, and the vibes inside the party were not even close to melancholy. Jessie Ware hit the mic, plus Jamie xx and Romy DJed. The cherry on top of the seductively scented cake? Everyone wore Valentino their own way.

MAC & Sephora Join Forces For A Supersized Party

It might come as shocking news, but MAC and Sephora haven’t linked up in the United States — until now. MAC’s Global Creative Director Nicola Formichetti hosted an old-school New York party to celebrate the campaign and arrival of MAC in Sephora (we love ourselves a good Chappell Roan MAC moment, after all). Julia Fox came in three different animal prints and sleazy, thick eyeliner, True Whitaker served high-octane glam with a baby-blue eye, and Myha’la was, as ever, the prettiest girl in the room with just a stitch of makeup.

Prada Brings Everyone Upstairs For A Postshow Dinner

Ristorante Torre at the Fondazione Prada has played host to many a cocktail and post-runway event for Prada, and after the runway where Bella Hadid made her Prada debut, there was much to celebrate. Faces old and new to the Prada universe — Sarah Pidgeon, Zoey Deutch, Charli D’Amelio, Eileen Gu — toasted to Mrs. Prada and Raf Simon’s layering-heavy show.

Every week, we bring you SOUNDCHECK — your destination for the best new music that just hit the web. Because you should always be prepared when someone passes you that AUX cord. This week's roundup features nine of our favorite emerging and established artists.

“Go” by BLACKPINK

Welcome back, BLACKPINK. Sure, the production is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here, but what can I say — I’m a sucker for a distorted synth.

“If I Leave” by Mitski

I’m one of the lucky few who got to pregame the release of Mitski’s new album with an invite-only show at The Shed this week, courtesy of Spotify. Yet I still wasn’t prepared for the emotional devastation that comes with the lyric, “If I leave, somebody else will love you / But nobody else could forgive me / Quite as often as you.” May this type of heartbreak never find me.

“Old Technology” by Slayyyter

The girls are quite literally not doing it like Slayyyter. Who else is smoking [redacted] in their music videos?

“Gentleman” by Towa Bird

It’s a shame this song is only two minutes and 15 seconds long, because it’s fun as hell. Oozing with cheeky humor and masculine levels of confidence, you might actually walk away from this track thinking Bird is talking about you.

“What You Want” by Angèle feat. Justice

This song bravely asks the question: what if a horror movie took place at the club? Soundtracking Angèle’s haunting vocals with Justice’s darkwave synths was a bold choice, but it definitely paid off.

“Bad Company” by Buzzy Lee

The control Buzzy Lee has over her gentle, breathy falsetto is genuinely something to behold. She ascends and descends the musical scale with a lightness and an ease not unlike Kate Bush or Joni Mitchell, and that’s coming from a fellow soprano.

“Douwannabwitastar!?” by GENA

If you love a good horn section, this track is for you. This is going straight to the Sunday morning cleaning playlist, which is of course the highest compliment I could give.

“Picky Choosy” by Chelsea Jordan

They said it couldn’t be done, but Chelsea Jordan just delivered the self-love anthem that isn’t overly heavy-handed. Brava.

“Over And Over” by FILLY

I’m going to be so painfully outside this summer, and I expect to hear this song at every bar, every house party, and on every portable speaker all season long.

Busy watching Love Story and The Traitors and missing critical updates on your feed? Or just overwhelmed with images from Fashion Month? Fear not, we are here with a short, sweet, and top-line only overview of the fashion news of the week you need to know. We tip our proverbial hats off to the flyest guy in 2026 so far, the bikinis we oh-so wish we were wearing instead of our snow boots (again), and the newest roster for Adidas Originals. Keep scrolling for your hit of shopping-and-style inspo.

Frankies Bikinis & PINK Have Getaway-Wear On Lock

Did you just book a tropical vacation after that last snowstorm? Us too. Consider the latest collaboration between swimwear expert Frankies Bikinis and PINK, which is relatively affordable and hits on the swim trends we’re still feeling from last season (namely, frills and polka dots). Iris Law is desirably warm on a beach somewhere to show off the wares, which are available now.

Adidas Originals Names Its Newest Superstars

It’s stripes over checks today, as Adidas Originals invites new faces into their Hotel Superstar. Samuel L. Jackson plays a talent hunter on the move in the timeless space, where he stumbles upon the cast that includes Jennie, Kendall Jenner, and Olivia Dean, among other legends of Adidas past and present.

Is Any Guy Having As Much Fun Getting Dressed As Tyriq Withers?

Not only is he the sexiest front-row star of the month so far, he’s the goofiest — and the one willing to take it there. A crop top and purse to Coach? Sure. A yellow leather suit for Burberry? Why not. Every chance he gets, he’s throwing that sh*t on and doing a wackadoodle photo dump on Instagram to commemorate it. We can’t wait to see what other sartorial tricks he has up his sleeve as the year goes on.

Coach Confirms Elle Fanning Is A Jane Austen Head

One of our favorite style stars is a Coach girl through and through, and she fronts the brand’s Spring/Summer 2026 campaign wearing covetable bags (the Chelsea and Plaza, to be specific). The best accessory of all? Sense and Sensibility, which Fanning is reading and using as a keychain. The keychain is fully readable, BTW. What’s better than being well-dressed and well-read?

There are not a lot of firsts Bella Hadid can cross off her modeling bucket list at this point. After all, she’s had a dress spray-painted onto her in real time on the runway at Coperni, walked across a glass catwalk above the Trevi Fountain in Rome for Fendi, and won the coveted Model Of The Year award at the Fashion Awards. One fashion house she hadn’t walked for was Prada — until now.

Hadid is a generational talent of the catwalk, and for the last few seasons, she’s been an exclusive for Saint Laurent. Prada was lucky to snap her up and put her on their Fall/Winter 2026 runway not once, but four different times. Hadid’s first look was a predistressed car coat with exaggerated cuffs, a dual sheer-skirt-patterned-skirt situation, burgundy tights, and pointed-toe pumps. Turns out, she didn’t need to do a quick change, as the rest of her looks were underneath. The second look peeled off the car coat, revealing a sheer replica underneath; for the third, the diaphanous navy pieces were removed to show the white patterned dress. Finally, for her last turn on the runway, she slipped off the smock dress and wore a scoop-neck tank and pajama shorts. The hair was classic Prada; that is to say, undone but glamorous, and the makeup was oh-so simple, save for the half-inch-thick eyeliner around the entire eye.

Usually when a model walks a runway, they appear once or maybe twice, if they open or close. But Prada switched things up this season and sent out their roster of talent again and again: The show had 61 looks, but relied on just 13 models to show off the collection. Not only was this Bella’s first Prada runway, it was her first time back to Milan Fashion Week since Sep. 2022. She largely stepped away from the vicious schedule of Fashion Month due to health reasons, and her appearances on runways are as rare as ever these days. Luckily for anyone front-row at Prada, they got four different chances to see her impeccable walk.

Another week, another album announcement — this time from singer-songwriter, Buzzy Lee. Following the release of her 2023 LP Internal Affairs, the artist has exclusively confirmed to NYLON that her third album, Shoulder To Shoulder, arrives on March 27.

Lee (born Sasha Spielberg) initially began working on the project back in 2021 when the LA native moved out East to be with her NYC-based boyfriend (now husband), Harry McNally. Together, the duo would make music from the comfort of their shared home, filing away each song as soon as it was finished without listening back. A year later, the couple unearthed the rudimentary recordings, uncovering a foundation for the next Buzzy Lee project in the process.

As they started crafting the songs in the studio, however, Lee decided that the best way to maintain the integrity and spirit of the original demos was to move the operation back home. From there, the album was largely recorded and engineered in the couple’s Chelsea loft, with McNally serving as the album’s producer.

From the living room, to the bedroom closet, to McNally’s desk, there wasn’t a single corner of the house that wasn’t untouched by recording equipment. Though in order to get the uniquely intimate final product, they had to bend the rules a little bit. “During the album’s recording, I had a heating pad over my stomach, a blanket on top of that, and then the synth on top of the blanket, a complete fire hazard,” the singer said in a statement. But high risk yields high rewards, and in the end, it was their cozy (albeit unconventional) approach that produced Lee’s most emotionally resonant album to date.

Shoulder To Shoulder Track List

1. “I’ll Wait”
2. “Like That”
3. “Bad Company”
4. “Shoulder To Shoulder”
5. “Youth On Age”
6. “Waffle Knit”
7. “Blame It”
8. “You Should Be Alone”
9. “Hot Nights”
10. “Gingham”

For even more intimate peek into the upcoming project, read our conversation with Buzzy Lee below.

How does it feel to be releasing these songs five years after the initial recordings?

They feel new in that nostalgic sort of way; the way telling a story for the twentieth time can feel like you’ve just lived it! So much has happened in those five years, I feel like they’ve been my silent partners, or rather my “sound partners” through all of it.

How have these songs evolved in those five years, if at all?

We really wanted to stay very close to their inception feel, so close that a few months into recording, we stopped tracking in a proper studio and brought the record back home with us. Maybe it was a zero antibodies situation to a new mutation of demo-itis, but the album felt like it needed to come home with us and not veer too far away from the ease of the demos.

We really built these songs slowly. I am a very anxious, impatient person, it’s a huge downfall of mine. Harry, my husband and producer, is extremely patient. Because he had never produced/engineered an album before, he was really just learning. In not knowing exactly what he was doing, he was able to capture a magic only someone with a beginner mindset could capture. Then of course there would be days I’d be irritable with the learning curve, hence my song “Bad Company” about myself. Hehe. He really helped me slow down and thank goodness because we had time to sit with each song. A year after recording one song, I’d relisten to it and say, “Imagine a trumpet doing this melody.” It occurred to us that could indeed be possible. It was a balance too of putting in the time, because by song ten, Harry was almost too advanced as an engineer, that we were losing the record’s beginner mind, so we capped it there before he got too good.

What was the vibe/atmosphere like when you first recorded these tracks?

It was so free and open, quite literally. I had just moved into Harry’s open living space. In fact, we set up a C-stand with a quilt attached as a partition to the sleeping area. Between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., we would write and record. Some nights were hot and sweaty, others cold and dry, each produced a different atmosphere for songwriting, the window always open through every season.

Some nights, I would just come up with melodies over loops as Harry did his visual art on a massive garment factory cutting table that he found for free on Craigslist. In that contained open space, we felt like we were living in another time… until we poked our heads out the window and saw lines around the block for Crumbl.

It sounds like these songs were originally written without any intention of being heard. Does that make releasing them now easier? Harder?

It wasn’t that we didn’t think they’d be heard, we just wanted to write without imagining any reception to the tracks, and really be in it just the two of us. We both find so much inspiration in the “what could be” so we really reveled in that. It’s so easy to think, “My parents are not going to get this one.” Or my parents will love this.” And yes, I realize how old I am and I realize I still and will always care what my parents think of me!

What was it like working with your husband on this record?

It was heavenly. I can’t believe it actually worked. I would record vocals with my hand on his shoulder. I’ve never sung that close to anyone in my life. We had a shared language, and if I had an idea, and it would be much, much too late in the evening (Harry is a true night owl), he’d say, “Great let’s record it,” when normally I would say, “What a pity a great idea is going to be gone by the morning.” I’d drag my feet because of how late it was and I just wanted to watch Larry Sanders or Mad Men with Harry. But he really got me to get out of my comfort zone, (I guess that’s just… staying up a little late? It’s really not that brave.)

There were maybe a handful a times I got testy because I felt comfortable enough to get testy. I also didn’t think about how my fears and second guessing, a natural part of the recording process, would affect him. I had to say to him, “Normally after a day in the studio I come home to you and get to stress about whether the songs are good enough but in this case, you are the husband AND the studio.” That was an adjustment. I really learned about keeping the morale high. Because of my anxiety I can loop about things and I’m not able to hide it. I panic if there’s the slightest change to anything. It takes me a second to warm up to change. I learned to not do that with Harry and really keep a positive mindset and trust the process.

What do you hope people take away from this album?

I think it’s really special to make art at home with people you love. I have spoken ad nauseam about being in relationships that did not feel comforting or nourishing or safe and then meeting Harry I felt this bloom, this safety net, this endless possibility. Some of the record touches on my fears in the beginning which was “How can it be this good, what if the other shoe drops?” I was so used to so much bad. And I can say almost six years later, the relationship is still new in that nostalgic way, like telling a story as though it’s the first time.

2026 is shaping up to be the year of Robyn. We’ve been treated to three singles from her upcoming studio album Sexistential, a massive tour announcement, and the promise of an opening slot for Harry Styles. She’s playing her fashion cards in her latest move — and keeping it 100 percent Swedish — as the face of Acne Studios’ Spring/Summer 2026 campaign.

Robyn has always been able to shape-shift, seamlessly switching between a pixie-cut dance-floor vixen and a softer, more mature energy. One constant is her no-f*cks-given spirit, which translates in these pictures shot by Nadia Lee Cohen. Cohen always captures the renegade inside all her muses, and Robyn embraces a Rat Pack vibe in a traditional workwear top, belt, and pants. The hairstyle brings it all home, which is equal parts James Dean, ‘80s club rat, and power lesbian.

Robyn has always felt at odds with traditional forms of glamour and femininity, as she says via press release: “I’ve always felt that when I wore long hair and dresses, it was like I was in drag – which of course can be both empowering and fun, And this felt like another kind of drag.” Playfulness is present in both the Acne Studios Spring/Summer 2026 collection and Robyn’s first tastes of Sexistential, which break out of holding patterns when it comes to motherhood and sexuality. As she says in the title track, she is feeling “bossy, bad, and bougie,” and the partnership with Acne Studios creative director (and fellow Swedish powerhouse) Jonny Johansson brings her fantasy to life. This isn’t their first linkup: Robyn soundtracked the SS26 runway (and sat front row), plus hosted an evening with Spotify and Acne Studios in Los Angeles in Nov. 2025 where she debuted “Dopamine” live.

At the heart of all of Robyn’s work is a childlike sense of wonder, even three decades into her singular career. “It was extremely satisfying to play around with,” Robyn continues. “A way to project vulnerability and toughness at the same time. Which is kind of my whole thing.” The dichotomies of hard and soft, masculine and feminine, and mystery and transparency are all at play here. Robyn proves the gray area is always more fun — that’s where the magic happens, after all.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has placed a ban on animal fur starting in September 2026. Many of the February 2026 shows in New York were already fur-free, but if you couldn’t tell, I wouldn’t blame you: Shearling and faux pieces have become ubiquitous. The desire for shaggy, big-boss coats has been in steady demand for a few years now, and the trend-setting girls we love are dead-set on finding a new way to make it their own. The star outerwear piece in the lead right now? Gucci’s ‘80s animal-print shearling coat.

The first person to wear the coat was actually Alex Consani in the brand’s “La Famiglia” collection campaign and accompanying short film, The Tiger, where her mile-long legs were the ideal counterpoint to the short dress-coat style. Dua Lipa was spotted in the same pieces in Paris this week, styling it out with a bag from The Attico, straight-leg blue jeans, and a molto Italiano Bvlgari Serpenti watch (she’s the jewelry house’s latest ambassador). Alix Earle threw caution to the ski-mountain wind in the same coat while in Aspen, wearing nothing on bottom and throwing on a Borsetto bag to hammer home just how Italian it can get.

Demna’s first-ever collection at Gucci, “La Famiglia,” was a postmodern take on Italian archetypes — Consani’s character with the fur coat is called “La Bomba” — that updated classic Milanese takes on fashion with a modern edge. The shearling coat comes with a detachable double-G belt, should you be feeling extra Neapolitan-mob wife, and has exaggerated puffed sleeves and a swooping lapel, ideal for turning up to (try to) avoid paparazzi à la Dua. (It’s also not real fur: The house has not used animal fur since 2017.) It feels like a vintage piece come to life, and the endless styling possibilities are what make it work for the breadth of people they’ve sent it to, including Mariah Carey. The classic light-gray style has been worn by two of our favorite Kims (Petras and Kardashian).

Gucci has made a concerted effort with this launch to sell the world on their Demna-ified take on la dolce vita. It’s largely worked, because the styles are, in true Demna fashion, able to slip in and out of references, wardrobes, and time periods. It’s also not all that expensive — yes, this coat obviously is — but the accessories are competitively priced in the market right now. By putting a $48,000 coat at the object of our desire, Gucci is inviting us into their universe, and us non-paparazzied-people can settle on a fabulous Borsetto bag or pair of oversized sunglasses. The real win is the way Demna’s vision will take over the trend cycle: We’ll be seeing much more of these printed, House Of Gucci-style furs the rest of the winter.

The second stop on Fashion Month’s tour is none other than London, where American editors were lucky to escape a generational snowstorm and British editors welcomed national and international fans alike to their front rows. The English capital is maintaining its reputation as an incubator for emerging talent, with enough fresh new blood making a name for themselves to keep the trend cycle and creative energy going for more than a week.

We’ll be taking stock of the runways for our trend reports and fashion-month superlatives later on, but for now, our attention is turned to the front rows at the shows, where royalty mingles with designers and other must-know faces across fashion, art, music, and film. The BAFTAs taking place the same weekend as the runways made for some movie magic with spectacuarly well-dressed folks hitting the step and repeat.

Brat summer forever — or is it? In the nearly two years since the phenomenon took the world by storm, we’ve gotten two albums, countless iterations of the famous Brat wall, an A24 film, and even a Cash App card for all of our most necessary purchases. But all good things must come to an end, and by the looks of Charli xcx’s recent Instagram activity, it seems like the sun may have finally set on the summer craze once and for all.

On Feb. 23, fans noticed that the British pop star had deleted — or archived, there’s no way for us to know — all of the photos that once lived on her IG alt, @360_brat. Once upon a time, this account played a vital role in the Brat rollout, with Charli using it to share album teasers and Brat wall updates. Now, all we’re left with are our collective memories. (She also changed the profile picture to a photo of a concrete wall, which feels equally significant.)

Shortly after her deleting/archiving spree, the singer took to the account to share one final post: a cryptic message straight from the Notes app. “The only reason I am where I am is because of you, seriously,” she writes. “Thank you for everything; for believing in me, for understanding my nuance, for caring. It’s been so special. I love you all so much! See you next time.”

Twisting the knife even further, Charli also took to X to share a bittersweet final statement on the matter: “You can’t dread the end when it’s over <3.” (Side note: was her account always locked? Another mystery for another day.)

Well, there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth. The Brat era is officially over, though its impact on music and culture will live on forever. Who knows? Maybe this year we’ll have a Wuthering Heights summer.

Tell all your friends and family: MAC is heading to Sephora. If that sentence somehow doesn’t grab their attention, Chappell Roan’s barely-there makeup look for the campaign surely will.

In case you forgot, MAC welcomed Roan as its newest Global Brand Ambassador back in December. Now, for her official MAC-campaign debut, Roan is ditching her usual drag-inspired makeup for a much more laid back, pop star off-duty-type beat. That means no powdery-white base, no dramatic eyeshadow extending all the way to her eyebrows, and no sculpting blush, leaving her freckled-cheeks and natural eyelashes on full display. Per MAC Global Creative Director Nicola Formichetti, the goal of the campaign was to strip Roan of her signature theatrical beat to reveal a “softer, magnetic” look.

Of course, you can’t have a beauty campaign without beauty products, so to promote the brand’s upcoming launch in Sephora on March 2, Roan sported the MAC Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick in the shade $ellout, a choice that perfectly accents her pinky-nude pout.

In another campaign photo, Roan glams up her look with a Lip Pencil in the shade Auburn for the top lip and Stripdown for the bottom, and the MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick in Marrakesh (top) and Taupe (bottom). Her blush is brought to you by the Glow Play Cushiony Blush in Grand, and to make the eyes pop, she wears MACStack Mascara and the Sephora-exclusive Multisculpt Matte Liquid Colour in Brule and Stone.

“The look that we created for Sephora is a nod to the iconic 90s MAC mug!” said Roan’s makeup artist Andrew Dahling in a statement. “Timeless and impactful, this look highlights Chappell’s encapsulating eyes and showcases some of MAC’s most iconic lip shades. It’s an homage to an era of glamour that has lived on forever, and created a phenomena of cult classic shades that we still go back to decades later. It’s a bit unexpected for Chappell Roan, as we often use an array of color, but to celebrate MAC’s newest venture in the world market of beauty, we wanted to create a look that honored MAC’s legacy as a brand, by and for everyone.”

As if a no-makeup makeup beat from one of pop music’s biggest stars wasn’t exciting enough, the brand also tapped fellow ambassadors Quen Blackwell and Gabbriette for the campaign. For her part, Blackwell sports a Chestnut Lip Pencil, Whirl MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick and Clear Lipglass lip combo, while Gabbriette dons a Greige Lip Pencil, MACximal Sleek Satin Lipstick - Fleshpot, and a layer of Lipglass Air in Accolade.

MAC arrives at Sephora on March 2.

Fashion Month is still rearing its beautiful, multicolored head, but in the art world, gala and biennial season is upon the global glitterati. Loewe is getting their ducks in a row for their Fall/Winter 2026 runway and sorting out the Loewe Foundation’s annual Craft Prize finalists. Today, they narrowed down the entry pool to 30 lucky artisans, who will be whittled down further at the prize ceremony in May.

For those not in the art-world know, Loewe’s beginnings as a craft-forward label come from their workshop beginnings in 1846, when artists and craftspeople from across disciplines descended on Madrid to collaborate on art-meets-fashion and fashion-meets-art. The Loewe Foundation Craft Prize was founded by Jonathan Anderson during his decade-long stint at Loewe in 2016, and has invited makers of all kinds (think: pottery, weaving, ceramicists, jewelers, welders, glass-blowers, loom-spinners) to submit in hopes of winning a prize.

This year’s finalists are as diverse as Loewe’s bag and shoe offerings; there are pieces for all tastes and persuasions. As said via press release, the grouping this year “have approached making as a careful negotiation between balance, instability and tension.” Fitting for a year with such chaos happening all around us, which reflects beautifully in the group that includes the United States’ Jane Yang-D’Haene and her asymmetrical, textural jar.

Other highlights include hand-knitted vessels by Gjertrud Hals of Norway, a psychedelic woven tapestry made in collaboration with the Frafra communities in Ghana, and a blown-glass black lacquered box that feels like a Dune set piece come to life. The competition is just as intense as the craft processes that went into making all these works of art, and for the first time, new Loewe creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez will join the jury of esteemed makers and critics. The winners and two special mentions will be announced on May 12, and all 30 finalists’ works will be on display at the National Gallery Singapore from May 13 to June 14.

Welcome to Don’t Sleep On This, a series dedicated to the products NYLON’s beauty team will rebuy over and over again and want you to know about.

One of the biggest issues I have with my apartment is the lack of surfaces. It’s a problem that has plagued my life for nearly two years now, as it forces me to be much more judicious with the minimal space I do have. Thrifted tchotchkes are automatically siloed to the living room, items with sentimental value go straight to my bedroom windowsill, and then there’s the most coveted surface of them all: the nightstand. In order for a product to earn permanent residency atop my mahogany dresser, it not only needs to meet the standard bedside checkpoints (can be used daily, doesn’t take up too much space, won’t damage the wood) but it has to look great, too. Recently, I found myself welcoming a new product into the exclusive club: Destin de Balmain Eau de Parfum.

As one of the fastest-growing beauty categories, the fragrance industry has become a bit — and I say this with love — overcrowded in recent years. So when a legacy brand like Balmain Beauty enters the arena on a prestige level, it probably means they have a standout product on their hands. Enter: Destin de Balmain, Balmain Beauty’s debut prestige fragrance. Classified as part of the “floral fruity” fragrance family, this perfume gets its rich scent from neon-saturated, naturally-sourced strawberries without being overly sweet, thanks to combined notes of peony entwine with sandalwood, patchouli, and baies rose.

Because I’m constantly testing out new fragrances in my line of work, I sometimes suffer from beauty writer-induced scent blindness. As a resolve, I like to use my roommate as a barometer to measure how people outside the beauty space will react. Without even having to ask, she emerged from her bedroom within seconds of my first spritz, Destin de Balmain particles still in the air, and immediately offered up a compliment: “It smells good.” She spotted the bottle and I handed it over. “Can I try?” she asked, pointer finger already on the actuator, anxiously awaiting my blessing. From that point on, I was sold.

The floral-forward formulation is sure to be my go-to this coming spring/summer, though it doesn’t need to be relegated to the warm-weather seasons. The hints of spicy Akigalawood and musky Ambrexolide reminds me of a scent my mom would wear in the early 2000s; it’s mature, it’s assertive, and it’s strong enough to last throughout the workday and the hour-plus Metro North ride to and from the city. That’s grade-A signature scent material, if you ask me.

And then, there’s the bottle. The (refillable!) glass tube is embossed with the PB monogram on all four sides, turning the house’s signature Labyrinth motif into three-dimensional pathways — a touch that all luxury-fashion obsessives can appreciate. And as a gold jewelry wearer, the gold cap feels like it was designed specifically with me in mind. Needless to say, my nightstand has never been happier.

Destin de Balmain Eau de Parfum is now available exclusively at Ulta.

Where does one go after a drawn-out party-heavy week? Turns out, more parties. New York Fashion Week extended its invitations and got us out well past our bedtimes for what seems like a lifetime, but New Yorkers are nothing if tireless, so they strapped their boots on to continue serving looks at parties across the boroughs. Keep scrolling to see where we ended up after the final catwalks this week.

Diptyque Goes Old School

When I think of Public Records, I don’t automatically think of warm, lush scents, but Diptyque turned one of our trusty party spots into an olfactory den for the launch of their latest perfume, Orpheon Eau de Toilette. Stretch Armstrong pulled off a vinyl-only set with the likes of Evan Mock and other stylish New Yorkers in the building to test out the fragrance.

A Great Dinner For Heart Of Dinner

Fish Cheeks is a must-try for those in love with Asian-fusion seafood, and Jenny Han, Kathleen Hou, and Daniel Martin hosted a Lunar New Year dinner at the acclaimed Noho spot in the name of doing good (and eating well). Heart of Dinner raised over $30,000 across the evening, and guests including Lola Tung left with a hefty gift bag full of beauty staples from Tatcha, Beauty of Joseon, and many more.

Nike Closes All-Star Weekend On An All-Time High

Meanwhile in LA, members-only club The Bird Streets Club opened its doors for A-listers like Teyana Taylor, Travis Scott, Damson Idris, Lola Young, Victoria Monét, Steve Lacy, and Lil Yachty to attend All-Time High, Nike’s exclusive All-Star Weekend afterparty. DJ sets were provided by Zack Bia, Chase B, Coco & Breezy, Hank Korsan, Pedro Cavaliere, Elan Bia, Chi, DJ Obi, and Sarz; good vibes provided by Nike.

Introducing The Membership Files, a recurring series where NYLON spotlights its favorite tastemakers across beauty, culture, entertainment, and more.

When Serena Page stepped into the villa on Love Island Season 6, she quickly distinguished herself from the reality-TV archetype. Alongside her crew (including fellow NYLON Member Leah Kateb!), Page championed unapologetic self-expression, growing a community of nearly 6 million across TikTok and Instagram who tuned in to it all.

As the franchise continues to mint creators and digital personalities, Page represents a new pipeline: baring her love life on-screen to shaping a solo narrative in beauty and fashion. Ahead, Page tells NYLON her secrets for a glowing date night look — from her feel-good playlist to her GRWM essentials.

What is the best event you’ve been to in the last six months?

The Yale Black Solidarity Conference, which I had the honor of speaking at.

What is a wellness ritual that you keep up, even during a busy travel schedule?

Keeping up with my waxing routine is definitely one of my non-negotiables. Even when life gets crazy, that little reset makes me feel polished and confident.

What show or concert would you get on a plane to see?

Jazmine Sullivan.

What’s your “getting ready” soundtrack?

R&B vibes all the way. I like to sing while I get ready.

One beauty hack you’d gatekeep if you could?

The Spongellé for EWC Get Smooth Body Buffer is such an amazing product that elevates your shower routine. It comes with built-in body wash for smooth skin texture and helps prevent ingrown hairs, bumps, and breakouts — all of that. My skin always feels incredible when I step out of the shower after using it!

Whose opinion do you trust when you’re getting dressed, and why?

My stylist — I always trust her professional opinion.

Whose closet would you raid before a night out?

If I could, it would have to be Rihanna’s or Teyana Taylor’s.

Best piece of dating advice you’ve ever received or given?

Every week, we bring you SOUNDCHECK — your destination for the best new music that just hit the web. Because you should always be prepared when someone passes you that AUX cord. This week's roundup features nine of our favorite emerging and established artists.

“My Maker” by Snail Mail

You’d think a song with a lyrical fixation on dying would be anxiety-inducing, but it’s actually strangely reassuring. It’s not bleak or fatalistic; it’s a fervent reminder to live life as if death is not an option. If nothing matters, why not say “f*ck it,” and film a music video on a hot air balloon in one take?

“White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” by Lana Del Rey

Eerie, mythical, and spellbinding, Lana Del Rey adapts the macabre, gothic sound of her husband’s home of Louisiana so well that if you told me this track was recorded on the edge of a haunted bayou, I’d believe it.

“Ear To The Cocoon” by Willow

We need a word to describe Willow’s music specifically. Compared to her, everyone else is just making empty rhythms and melodies. What she does in the studio is genuinely otherworldly; press play on this track and you’ll be taken on a sonic journey that begins with a jazz history lesson and ends on a planet that only Willow is capable of inhabiting.

“Ride” by Jessie Ware

Ride all the time. Disco, occasionally.

“Paracosm” by Absolutely

If I wrote a song as expansive, ambitious, and curious as this, I would name my album after it, too. If you’re not on the Absolutely train by now, you’re gonna get left behind.

“Only The Best” by HorsegiirL

You don’t need to hear this song at a meditative rave at a wellness spa in Williamsburg to appreciate the pulsating electro-beat and whisper-soft vocals, but if you ever get the opportunity to do so, take it. Trust me.

“Roamer” by Spill Tab

“Would you wait a life to see what happens?” Jeez, @ me next time, Spill Tab. In all seriousness this song is great, even if it does hurt my feelings.

“My Life” by Julia Cumming

If you only know her from her work in Sunflower Bean, you wouldn’t know Julia Cumming has this theatrical, singer-songwriter side to her. Here, she presents a version of herself she’s never shared before, and the end result is somewhere on the spectrum of Carole King, Carly Simon, and Brian Wilson. It’s quite the introduction for the singer’s debut single, one that completely shatters your preconceived notions of her.

“Broken Record” by Alemeda

A rock song with a tempo change midway through? We are so back. It’s time to start paying attention to Alemeda — you’ve been warned.
