Lashana Lynch has been a Marvel fan for the last decade. In 2008, the first Iron Man movie came out, launching an entire cinematic universe that routinely boasts some of the bestselling, most-talked-about movies in recent memory. But the England-born, London-based Lynch’s interest went further than just franchise fandom: She actually wanted in on the action. And this month, the actress can finally cross that goal off her list when she appears as Maria Rambeau alongside Brie Larson in the highly anticipated Captain Marvel. It wasn’t always obvious that Lynch, 31, would get to this point. A few years ago, she happened to be in Los Angeles when Black Panther was in the casting process and she tried to snag an audition. “I was literally begging my manager to get…

Does it seem like everyone’s talking about peels? There’s a reason: “They’re a quick, easy way to smooth skin by promoting collagen generation, and they reduce signs of aging, including wrinkles,” says Ellen Marmur, a dermatologist and the founder of skincare line Marmur Metamorphosis. Back in the ’80s, these exfoliating acid solutions were applied only under the supervision of a dermatologist, and they worked by essentially dissolving, or “peeling” away, the top layer of skin—along with any discoloration or superficial wrinkles. Now you can get similar benefits using an at-home product that retexturizes skin without causing it to flake off in sheets. Many of these versions typically feature lower concentrations of exfoliating ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which reveal new skin by dissolving the “glue” that holds dead cells…

I’m a big fan of change: a change of season, a change of scenery, or a change in the status quo. No matter where you find yourself in life, it’s good to shake things up every so often. Sure, there’s consistency and comfort in routine, but growth and progress and even adventure can spring from a break from the usual. Lupita Nyong’o is certainly changing things up. The Oscar-winning actress tries out a surprising new genre this month, horror, starring in Jordan Peele’s Us, about a family terrorized by people who look exactly like them. As she says, fear is something we usually suppress rather than experience. “In horror films, we give ourselves permission to do that. We all get in a room and we know what you sign up…

Power Up @PaulaDAmbrosa: What an inspiring group of women. It is moving me to step up my game–50 Women Who Are Changing the World, Marie Claire’s 2018 New Guard list @Sherifatuu: @marieclaire’s New Guard list is like a giant bowl of inspiration Crazy for Kerry I was so excited to see Kerry Washington on your November cover!

THE EXPERT: Lexi Cross, cofounder, @shoesofnyc MARIE CLAIRE: Are you seeing more strappy sandals? LC: I’m a sneaker girl, but I’m happy to welcome strappy heels back. The styling we’re seeing is fun—strappy sandals (especially with kitten heels) paired with lots of playful patterned socks or worn with a wide-leg culotte or flirty skirt. MC: How have you seen designers get more creative with them this season? LC: Designers are doing fresh things: adding texture and crystal embellishments and using metallics and different materials like feathers. I’m also seeing a lot of angular shapes—a very intentional square toe or sculptural heel. Today’s strappy sandal has a bit of that ’90s influence, but it’s more refined, less chunky. MC: What version is your favorite? LC: I love a strappy heel that…

THE EXPERT: Erica Russo, VP and fashion director for accessories and beauty, Bloomingdale’s MARIE CLAIRE: How have you seen canvas bags make the shift from utility to fashion? ER: Over the past few years, it has evolved from being a style mainly loved for its practicality to a more fashion-forward accessory. The addition of new shapes, personalization options, and textures (like leather and coated canvas) has transformed this bag, making it a key style in handbag assortments. It can have a unique design coupled with an attainable price point. MC: Are they more durable or easier to care for than other bags, like leather? ER: Some customers have more confidence in their purchase knowing that canvas bags are made out of a material that can be easily cleaned. The fabric…

Marie Claire: You open your book with a story about running for Congress in 2010. What was so significant about that moment in your career? Reshma Saujani: Before I ran for Congress, I had made every safe decision. I was a go-getter, but I wasn’t gutsy. I went to the right schools, including Yale Law, and I worked at the right places—corporate law firms. But by 33, I was coming home from work and curling up in the fetal position, drinking a large bottle of red wine. Then one of my friends from law school asked me why I didn’t just quit and run for office. I suddenly realized that was an option. I wasn’t likely to succeed, but it was a big turning point for me as a straight-A,…

What drew you to this material? I loved Lindy West’s essay collection, Shrill. It’s one of the first things I ever read where I was like, “Oh, this is my story in a lot of ways.” There was so much overlap. I also had the ability to help create the show with the showrunners—to write it and produce it with them—and that was huge for me, because I knew if I wanted to do something outside of SNL, I had to be as involved as I am at SNL. So some of the stories come from your own experiences? What was that like? A lot of it is very close to the bone, so it was very intense. But it definitely made it easier for me in some of these…

Historians sometimes call the 15th and 16th centuries the Age of Exploration, when European ships roamed the seas, but I would argue that we’re experiencing a mini renaissance right about now. Airbnb and TripAdvisor have taken the guesswork out of globetrotting, and ladies are leading the way. (Two thirds of solo travelers are female, according to a 2016 study by George Washington University School of Business.) It’s no wonder the beauty world is inspired. Take Montblanc’s new fragrance, aptly named Explorer. Its geographical smorgasbord of notes—Italian bergamot, Haitian vetiver, and Indonesian patchouli—results in a crisp yet complex, gender-neutral fragrance encased in a chic black bottle. There are also tons of new TSA-friendly skin, hair, and makeup offerings to make your journey more, well, beautiful. You can’t go wrong with this…

“I go between Le Labo Santal 33, which is my everyday fragrance, and Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, which is more of a nighttime, sexy scent.” “I swear by Ole Henriksen’s amazing skin brightener. It gives my complexion a glow even when I’m not wearing makeup.” “This Wella deep treatment keeps my hair looking shiny, healthy, and brand-new.” “These colors complement the blue and green in my eyes.” “I put sunscreen on daily and even mix a little bit into my foundation.” “My hair looks a bit more polished and done when I use this, even if I just spray it on after air-drying.” When I started playing Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones, I was 13. Now the series has finished filming (the final season premieres in April) and I’m…

DIM THE BLUE LIGHTS Blue light may seem like a necessary evil in the digital age, but it unsettles our circadian rhythms and causes digital eye strain (dryness, blurry vision, and headaches). We’re not doing away with our screens any time soon, so we adapt. Standard in the gaming community for years, computer eyewear has hit the mainstream. These stylish frames dramatically decrease blue-light exposure and block 100 percent of UV waves—kind of like SPF for your eyes. For added comfort, the lenses slightly magnify your vision so your eyes work less to focus. Collagen Boost Collagen is tricky: We all want more of it to keep our skin youthful, but creating supplements proven to boost levels remains a struggle. (Ingested proteins don’t migrate to your complexion intact.) Body Kitchen’s…

@lilytomlin 1. If I weren’t an actress, I’d be: A school-bus driver. 2. Best career advice I’ve gotten: “Just meet with George Schlatter” (George was the producer of Laugh-In) and “Keep doing whatever you’re doing if you truly love it.” 3. Least gracious response to rejection/career setback: “I was just thinking this part is not for me. In fact, this part is so weak, I can’t think of who it would be right for.” I made that up. The only hurtful response I ever got at an audition was “Honey, have you ever acted before?” 4. The three qualities that got me where I am today: I’m not sure where I am today. No, really. 5. Moment I felt I made it: I still have yet to feel that moment. Maybe I should take this…

“LUPITA WAS VERY COLLABORATIVE AND WASN’T AFRAID TO TAKE RISKS. THE CLOTHES WERE NOT SUPER CONSTRICTING, SO SHE COULD HAVE FUN MOVING AROUND AND MAKING COOL SHAPES.”—Marie Claire fashion director J. ERRICO AGE: 35. BIRTHPLACE: Mexico. CURRENT RESIDENCE: Brooklyn. ARRIVAL ATTIRE: The actress came in her favorite yellow sweater, knitted by her grandmother, jeans, leopard booties, and an oversize floppy hat. THE MUSIC: Hairstylist Vernon François (@vernonfrancois) played DJ for the shoot, selecting a Top 100 mix of rap and hip-hop. THE INSPO: “My idea was do to a plissé story with Lupita as it was a big trend for spring. I focused on getting key looks from the spring collections that best represented this idea,” says stylist and Marie Claire fashion director J. Errico. “Lupita was very collaborative and…

MARCH MADNESS (Kicks off March 17) Nix the team jersey and opt for something sporty and chic. The long, clean lines of the vest layered with the attenuated track pant make it an easy slam dunk.

It’s riveting, historical, and heartbreaking all at once. DAISY JONES & THE SIX by Taylor Jenkins Reid (March 5; Random House) This novel (which Reese Witherspoon is already adapting into a series) follows the rise…

SYSTEM RESET Your endocannabinoid system, or ECS, is one of your basic biological systems, like your skeletal or digestive systems. And when your ECS gets thrown out of whack, you need endocannabinoid nutrition (ECN) to return your body to a natural balance—think of ECN as a vitamin for your endocannabinoid system. HOW ECN WORKS ECN primes your body to be the best it can be, giving you the support you need to thrive. So, how does it work? The main active ingredient is nonintoxicating cannabidiol or, CBD. CBD is different from THC, the more commonly known cannabis compound that produces the “high” feeling. When combined with the other ingredients in ECN, CBD actually mimics the cannabinoids our ECS should make naturally, bringing the body back into balance. CHECK THE LABEL…

IT’S 9 a.m. on a Monday in October inside the small downtown Los Angeles office that houses the hugely popular Instagram account turned media sensation the Shade Room, and senior editor Kyle Simpson is already on the trail of a story. He attended model Amber Rose’s fourth-annual SlutWalk event yesterday and saw her cozying up to a new man. Now Simpson, who considers his specialty to be “tea”—slang for gossip and the type of stories that reveal how frequently the Venn diagram of black culture and popular culture is a single circle—is trying to figure out the identity of Rose’s new beau and talking through what he knows. No, he didn’t recognize him. Yes, he and Amber were very touchy. No, they didn’t seem to care if anyone saw them.…

Q. I often regret the things I say in the heat of the moment. Any tips on how not to lash out or how to argue more effectively? In the heat of the moment, one of the worst things to do is what people normally do—immerse themselves in their emotions and focus on their hurt. This response is like putting gasoline on a fire. It fuels the flame by keeping angry and aggressive thoughts front and center, making it more likely you will say something you later regret. The study “Flies on the Wall Are Less Aggressive,” by visiting assistant professor of psychology at Ohio University Dominik Mischkowski, et al., offers a simple strategy to cool these hot emotions. When someone upsets you, try to pretend you are a fly…
