Inhoudsopgave van August 2019 - InStyle

Lordy! We’re already on our third Badass Women issue, and, frankly, I’m beside myself. To literally be beside the singular Diane Keaton (below) is a dream achieved. At InStyle we celebrate women who are profoundly themselves, and nobody is more herself than the legendary Diane. She brought her own hats to our shoot, and if I may run with the metaphor, she wears all of them. Who else wears many hats? The incredible Janelle Monáe, this issue’s cover star. Janelle has been a badass since birth, forging a distinctive visual identity and a playful, gutsy spirit. There was no one better to wear our brand-new Badass T-shirt (left), designed by superstylist Karla Welch. I mean, nothing says “badass” like an ’80s hot-pink logo, am I right? Go grab yours! And…

Among the handful of knickknacks that decorate my less-than-tidy workspace, piled on a bookshelf between impressive-looking designer monographs I’ve never actually read, sits a random assortment of crystal ornaments that I absolutely adore. Tacky they may be, but each piece holds sentimental value. My favorite is a fat paperweight in the shape of a pencil, which was a Christmas gift from designer Oleg Cassini sometime in the late ’90s or early aughts. It’s worthless, I’m sure. But to a writer who specializes in fashion, it means everything. A lot of memories are reflected in its facets, foremost the semiannual lunch dates Cassini and I enjoyed at an unassuming Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side, near the Elias Asiel Mansion that was his residence for many years. Cassini was a…

I have a favorite saying that hangs near my desk: “Never face the facts.” Because the truth is, if you do, you probably won’t get out of bed in the morning. I love this quote because in life there will always be someone who’ll tell you that the odds are against you. People said to my father [Danny Thomas], “You can’t build a hospital for sick children. You’re a comedian.” And they said to me, “You can’t create a television series about a single working girl. No one has ever done that.” But I was raised to tune out the naysayers and follow my dreams. After I graduated from college, all my friends were getting married. I was a bridesmaid 17 times, which was wonderful. But I remember looking around,…

Having successful careers in front of the camera wasn’t enough for these supermodels, so they capitalized on their fashionable wisdom by starting their own brands. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, founder and editor in chief of the beauty website Rose Inc., talks with Cindy Crawford, co-creator of the skin-care line Meaningful Beauty, about blazing the trail. ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY: The first time I saw you was at Nobu in Malibu. I’d gone in a T-shirt and sweatpants. Then you walked in, one of my all-time icons, so elegant in great jeans and a beautiful blouse, with classic hair and makeup. Heads turned, and I thought, “That is a supermodel.” Then I thought, “I can never again go to a restaurant in sweatpants”—and I never have. [laughs] CINDY CRAWFORD: I saw you in Heathrow Airport,…

It’s a dreary Sunday morning in New York City, but inside Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream shop in Greenwich Village, Jameela Jamil is as cheery as can be. Plunking down in a booth, she attributes her livelier-than-usual mood to an excess of caffeine and sugar. “The only way you could lure me out of bed on a Sunday is with ice cream,” she deadpans. “This was bribery.” Sugarcoating isn’t something that Jamil, 33, is known for. Over the past year or so she’s become one of Hollywood’s most outspoken stars, using her platform of two million Instagram followers to tackle the industry-wide problem of body shaming. But Jamil hasn’t always been this comfortable in her own skin. Long before the British actress, who is of Indian-Pakistani descent, landed the role of…

I’ve always wanted a screen like this,” says Whitney Bromberg Hawkings, pointing to an 18th-century coromandel screen she found at a flea market in Paris. The founder of Flowerbx—a London-based online flower-delivery service that launched in New York in May—first noticed a similar piece in a photo of Coco Chanel’s home. “She was such a pioneer, role model, and glamorous figure for me. Seeing those pictures of her in front of that screen really made me want one.” (It is said that the late designer owned 32 large lacquered folding screens depicting mythical Chinese and East Indian scenes.) So when Bromberg Hawkings and her husband, Peter Hawkings, the SVP of menswear for Tom Ford (where Bromberg Hawkings previously worked), came across one from another collector, they wasted no time bringing…

WINGED WONDER Italian heritage brand Etro is taking it back—way back—to ancient Greece with the reissue of its iconic Pegaso bag, which débuted in the ’80s. The cross-body comes in the label’s signature paisley and features the mythical winged stallion Pegasus, which also happens to be the renowned house’s logo. Etro jacket ($5,060), shirtdress ($1,010), earrings ($533), belt ($810), and bag ($1,370); at Etro, 212-317-9096. One for the Ladies This fall, cult-favorite Parisian menswear brand Ami is finally launching a women’s collection. The range lives up to the hype set by its big brother, with borrowed-from-the-boys standouts like oversize outerwear and cool layers.

1 MINDY KALING At 24 she became the first woman and person of color to join the writers’ room on NBC’s cult comedy The Office. Since then her career has taken off, with TV shows, big-budget films, and two best-selling memoirs. Her latest project, Late Night, which marked the first time she has written, produced, and starred in a feature film, is centered on a writer who challenges diversity and the role of women at work. Up next? An Indian wedding comedy with Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Think of it as the subcontinent’s answer to Crazy Rich Asians. “There’s incredible strength in stepping into conflict on behalf of others. It’s the right thing to do.”—ABIGAIL DISNEY 2 ABIGAIL DISNEY Despite the long shadow of her family name, she has carved out…

“The Cannes Film Festival feels like the Super Bowl of dressing. Elle was honored to wear this incredible Dior outfit. I almost fell over when I saw her—I was reminded of those classic 1950s Irving Penn photographs with Jean Patchett or Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn. I wanted to play off that classicism by keeping the makeup very modern, with virtually bare skin and a stained mouth. Jenda [Alcorn, Fanning’s hairstylist] pinned her hair up in a glossy waved bob that tied it all together. It was such a moment.”—ERIN AYANIAN MONROE, MAKEUP ARTIST…

Your Post-Summer Beauty Prescription Have sunny beach days wreaked havoc on your hair and skin? Consider this your road map to recovery. BEAUTY MUSE Winnie Harlow With sculptural hairstyles and bold, smoky eyes, this model has a knack for turning red carpets into runways. “I love that Winnie is down for going big with her looks—and we wanted to go big with her eye makeup at Cannes,” says pro Vincent Oquendo, who cited early Diana Ross as inspiration for the shimmering red and purple lids he gave her for the film festival (top left and center). “I’ll…

In May Diane Keaton posted a particularly quirky video on her Instagram account that pretty much served as the impetus for this shoot. In it she is descending a stairwell in her 8,000-square-foot Los Angeles home, wearing a checked blazer cinched by a thick black belt, black pants, loosely tied combat boots, and not one but maybe 10 hats stacked on top of each other. “Which hat do you think I should wear?” she asks no one in particular. “No, I’m serious. Because I kinda like… But, seriously, what do you think? Or should I wear them all? Maybe I should just wear all the hats. I think that might be good.” The five-second clip has since accrued 600,000-plus views and nearly 3,500 comments from supportive fans and friends like…

WHERE TO GO “Namibia is such an extraordinary country, you really can’t go wrong. The Namib desert is like a sea of red sand—it runs for hundreds of miles and tumbles into the Atlantic Ocean. Sossusvlei (1), in the southern part of the desert, is famous both for the Big Daddy dune, one of the tallest in the world, and for Deadvlei, a dried-out white-clay marsh dotted with petrified trees. Swakopmund (2) is fantastic for both foodies and adventure seekers. It’s where I used to go sandboarding. But my most recent trip back was focused on rhino conservation, so we went to the areas we were most likely to see them. We visited Etosha National Park (3) and conservancies in northwest Namibia.” WHERE TO STAY “We started our trip at…

I always search for higher meaning in everything, even in what I wear. I got this necklace two years ago as a wedding gift from my friend Amalia, who designs a gorgeous line of jewelry called Rainbow Gems [Bonet married actor Jason Momoa in 2017]. To me, there’s nothing more beautiful than nature, and a rainbow, with all its resplendence, can convey so much joy. I love that this necklace celebrates such a magical moment in my life. I also love that each gem is from the earth. There’s moonstone, ruby, tourmaline, topaz, emerald, and more. Every stone is radiant on its own, but together they create this perfect visual offering of hope and love, just like when you see an actual rainbow. I wear it every day, with everything—T-shirts,…

The best way to describe Tracee Ellis Ross’s signature look? “Joyful,” says her stylist, Karla Welch. “Tracee doesn’t overthink anything or worry about taking a risk—if she loves it, she wears it.” And though bold color, wild volume, and unexpected couture details have become the Black-ish star’s calling cards, her style-icon status goes far beyond what piece she plucks from a rack, says Welch. “It has to be about a whole mood—and Tracee just brings it.” HER BEST! “I felt like I was [Lady] Gaga–ing it on the red carpet,” said Ellis Ross of the head-turning Valentino Haute Couture creation that all but stole the show at the Emmys. When asked if it was difficult to move around in the billowing design, she laughed. “Oh, couture is always comfortable,” she…

We all make plans for what we want our future to be. That’s, like, American Life 101. You’ve got to plan your play and play your plan, but no one has a crystal ball. When life bites you in the ass one random Tuesday afternoon and everything as you knew it changes forever, you’re going to kick and scream and say, “Why me? This wasn’t supposed to happen.” You end up grappling with what to do, because the plan is no longer in play. It’s extremely discombobulating, but at some point you’re going to have to choose what path you want to take. Either you’re going to stay bitter about what will never be or you’re going to deal with your new reality as courageously and elegantly as you possibly…

What are you like in the makeup chair? I’ve worked predominantly with the same makeup artist, Lauren Gott, since I was 13 years old. There’s so much trust there that I’m always down for a look as long as my skin is kept really fresh. I don’t wear foundation; we just do spot touch-ups. Then from there we do something fun with the eyes or lips, usually not both at the same time. A little bit of glitter? That’s pretty conservative for me, I’d say. Are you a skin-care obsessive? Oh, definitely. I have an encyclopedia of products in the back of my head that I just want to tell people about. I stand by [skin pro] Marie Veronique—her retinol, cleanser, and face oil get the job done. I’ve had…
