Inhoudsopgave van July 2021 - InStyle

In April, I Ubered myself down to SoHo to the first photo shoot our team had been on together since March 2020. As I rounded the corner from Lafayette Street to a laneway where we were photographing the spectacular dancers of American Ballet Theatre (ABT), I turned on my phone’s video camera and hollered. The video is a hot mess: people yelling and jumping and hugging each other—and, in the dancers’ case, high-kicking (the InStyle team was doing that metaphorically, being less bendy). We were reaching the end of the gauntlet. In terms of the ABT performers, they could wrap up their year-plus of isolation and prepare to hit the stage again. And for my team, finally a life was visible beyond a Zoom box—where producing a magazine was incomprehensibly…

Knit Designs A curve-hugging option is remarkably comfortable in soft, stretchy fabric. Lace Trim Nothing adds an air of romance like gauzy, lingerie-inspired details. Retro Prints From boho to Bauhaus, these freewheeling motifs radiate joy. Micro Minis Ballet flats and big earrings nicely balance the legs-for-days fit. Crisp Poplin The ideal way to wear it? In whichever shape suits you best.…

How did your relationship with beauty begin? The first thing that comes to my mind is playing with lipstick when I was too young to wear it. [laughs] I was the girlie girl in my family. I would sneak around and put on makeup, then get in trouble for it. Growing up, I would put cocoa butter on my skin and then go on about my day. I didn’t wear products that protected my skin from the sun until early adulthood. You’re an ambassador for Olay; what drew you to their products in particular? As a mother, I’m a busy girl, and I don’t have much time for myself. When it’s about the babies, it’s time to go. I like that I can get what I need in this Olay…

WHERE TO STAY I like booking a spot on the outskirts of town where I’m on the edge of a vast and wild landscape. The JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa is a great option because it feels remote, yet you’re really never too far from the action. But the more centrally located Arizona Inn (1) is classic Tucson. Endlessly charming, it was built in the 1930s in a very walkable neighborhood. WHERE TO EAT Mexican food and margaritas are always on my to-do list, so I enjoy Charro Steak & Del Rey—imagine if a Mexican restaurant and a steakhouse had a baby. And The Cup Café (2) at The Hotel Congress (a landmark that dates back to 1919) is a go-to for its lively patio scene. WHAT TO…

MOVIES Love & Basketball (1) “Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, this iconic movie follows a female athlete who’s held to different standards and works harder to get to where she wants. It’s a celebration of Black love and stars Black Hollywood royalty: Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps are killer in it. I watch this whenever I want something comforting.” Sister Act 2 “Again, iconic. I love Sister Act, but the music in Sister Act 2 is so good; I’m a huge Lauryn Hill fan. And Whoopi Goldberg rocks it, as always. Sometimes I put this on in the background while doing housework. It’s a jam.” DOCUMENTARIES Black and British “In this BBC docuseries, David Olusoga, who wrote a book of the same title, commemorates iconic Black people and important moments in…

When I first got the script for The Fast and the Furious, I was a sophomore in college [at Yale]. I had no idea it would become a thing. I liked the script. I thought Vin [Diesel] was really cool. I loved Michelle [Rodriguez]; I loved Paul [Walker]. I didn’t realize, though, the sort of synergy that would come with all the different elements. We were a multicultural movie 20 years ago, and everyone saw themselves in a film about street-car racing. It’s something to be proud of. Now we’re bringing our kids on set, and it’s really fun. We shot F9: The Fast Saga for four months in London, and my sons [Julian, 7, and Rowan, 5] were with us the entire time. That was such an awesome adventure…

“The stage is our home. I miss it so much.”–BETSY MCBRIDE, ABT CORPS DE BALLET “This has been such a time of growth, and I think that’s going to show in each of the dancers artistically when we are back onstage.”–ISABELLA BOYLSTON, ABT PRINCIPAL DANCER “This past year definitely put things into perspective. I will always be grateful for what I do from now on and never take a single show for granted.”–ANABEL KATSNELSON, ABT CORPS DE BALLET “A group of us just performed for our first live audience in over a year. It was quite emotional.”–EMILY HAYES, ABT CORPS DE BALLET “What I love most about New York City is that art is everywhere in the streets.”–MELVIN LAWOVI, ABT APPRENTICE “When I get back into the theater, I’m going…

STRIKE A POSE Okay, so this is me trying to be as flexible as @JLo keyword “trying” #poselikejlo join the challenge —@KRISJLOVER4LIFE, via Twitter Love this cover image [from May 2021]. Love the lack of cover lines. Love J.Lo. Clean, simple, and beautiful. —@OCHWAT_GD DELIGHTFUL DESIGN The On Demand set design by David de Quevedo in the March 2021 issue is fabulous! I love the juxtaposition of luxury accessories paired with scraps of household industrial materials like plastic fruit bags and sponges. It didn’t distract from the gorgeous goods, but it did make me linger longer over the pages. Great work! —MANDY FOSTER, New Orleans Picked this up today after work!! Absolutely in love with this photo shoot [from May 2021] @JLo you’re so beyond beautiful —@123BRIANNA123 Keke from the…

“I’m in a moment of transition in my life where my style is changing as we speak.”—ARIANA DEBOSE ARIANA DEBOSE: Sarah, you use fashion to express yourself in such a dynamic way. It’s like this beautiful tool that’s allowed you to display the different facets that make up the marvelous Lady Sarah P. I’m in a moment of transition in my life where my style is changing as we speak, and sometimes I don’t feel like I even have a sense of style. SARAH PAULSON: Why would you ever think that? Did somebody tell you that in high school? Because that is not true. You’re a walking sense of style! I remember meeting you backstage at Hamilton and writing to you on Instagram afterward about how revelatory you are as…

Precious Lee most recently made history as the first African American curve model to walk in Versace’s spring 2021 show. Since arriving on the scene in 2012, she has brought her full heart and fierce energy to everything she does. Here she shares how her hometown, family, and self-love practices push her forward. Georgia Peach People don’t understand how amazing it is to experience the energy of Black joy my hometown of Atlanta brings. Growing up, I never felt limited, because I understood that Black people are free to express themselves. The entrepreneurship in Atlanta is crazy; everybody has a successful business. My father has owned his own hair salons my whole life. Being unique and having your own individual style is the only thing we want to have in…

Endless Summer Heat and humidity don’t stand a chance against these budge-proof formulas that won’t feather or fade throughout the day. Nature’s Touch WHEN TATA HARPER introduced her skin-care brand 10 years ago, the term “clean” didn’t exist in the industry. “We centered the line around being natural and organic,” Harper explains. “The problem today is that every brand interprets clean in its own way; it has no universal definition and is unregulated. For us, [clean beauty] means sustainable packaging, zero synthetic chemicals, and everything is grown from the earth.” She continues to capture the healing powers of nature in her latest offering, the Sensorial Resets collection at the One&Only Mandarina, located on Mexico’s Pacific coast. “I wanted to elevate the traditional spa experience and captivate all five senses with…

Tell us how you met Zeke. He’s the last of the many miniature dachshunds I’ve had over the years. I’ve been obsessed with them since the ’70s, when I found one left behind in my store on a Saturday evening. At first I was upset because I didn’t know what to do with it, but by Sunday night I was panicking that someone would try to claim it. Ever since, there have been mini dachshunds in my life—there was a time when I had six! Zeke came from a breeder that specializes in piebald [black-and-white] dachshunds and was flown in from Louisiana wrapped in a Grateful Dead T-shirt. He is the most brilliant, smart, and intuitive pet I’ve ever had. What’s the unlikeliest place he’s been with you? Zeke loves…

PROFESSION Forward for the Las Vegas Aces LOCATION Las Vegas MANTRA “I always tell myself to be true to who I am. I never switch lanes and try to control only what I can.” Why She’s a Badass Just two years after the WNBA named her Rookie of the Year, the 24-year-old South Carolina native and current Las Vegas Aces forward earned the league’s coveted Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in 2020. But Wilson has established herself as a force beyond the basketball court as well. She’s been outspoken about everything from social justice reform and mental health awareness to her own battle with dyslexia, which led to the 2019 launch of The A’ja Wilson Foundation, an organization that provides resources for kids with learning disabilities. Despite all she’s accomplished,…

On February 27, 2020, I arrived at my second home in Paris to meet my three daughters who work in fashion (Victoria, Vanessa, and Samantha Traina) for the ready-to-wear shows, which I love going to with them—I never miss Chanel (both ready-to-wear and haute couture). Fashion has been my passion since I was a child. I wore the white wool coat my grandmother gave me for my 14th birthday backward, as a dress. The same grandmother treated me to my first haute couture suit by Jacques Heim at 17, and my first Hermès Kelly bag at 18. I’ve been attending the shows in Paris ever since. I passed on the fashion gene to my daughters and took them to the shows as children. I attended Parsons School of Design at…

I’ve been collecting charms basically since I was born. I still have the silver baby cross from my baptism that has tiny little teeth marks all over it. I also saved the gold cross charm that I got for my confirmation when I was 13. I keep that on one of the three gold necklaces that I wear almost every single day now [right]. I like to clutter my chains a bit, so next to the gold cross I have a New York City subway token from 1964, the year I was born. My mother saved it for me because as a native New Yorker, I’m a big subway rider, and the tokens are part of our city’s history. On the other side of my cross, I wear my favorite…

Daniel Martin TATCHA GLOBAL DIRECTOR OF ARTISTRY & EDUCATION I’ve gained the courage to feel like I am a voice in the beauty space, but I haven’t always thought of myself in that way. Until someone brought it to my attention, I didn’t realize that I am the first Asian American to have this position at a beauty brand. There’s Peter Philips at Dior, Lucia [Pica] at Chanel, and Tom [Pecheux] at YSL. I definitely discovered my courage because of the Black Lives Matter movement and [the murder of] George Floyd. Up until that point I never spoke publicly about politics or where I stood on social matters, but what happened to Floyd was an awakening to me. Now I know I need to be vocal to make a difference.…

From the moment Inii King saw the living room in the Bedford, N.Y., home she now shares with her husband and business partner, Tony King, she was hooked. “This is the first room I saw of the house, and I fell in love,” says King, co-founder and chief creative partner at branding agency King & Partners. “I love everything about this room, from the height of the ceilings to the natural light.” The streaming sunshine complements her flourishing plant collection, which further adds to the chill, quiet vibe of their home. “We were living in Long Island City before moving to Bedford, but that area started to get more developed, so we felt it was time to go. When we came to Bedford, we saw it was very low-key yet…

Kelly Mariani knew she wanted to be a chef from a young age. “I was one of those kids who asked for a crème brûlée torch for Christmas,” she says with a laugh. “I remember making Jacques Pépin’s chocolate lava cake as a 10-year-old and being so stressed!” After college, she headed to Ireland to attend Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork. The family-run establishment and organic farm was the ideal setting for Mariani, whose own family has operated a walnut and almond orchard for four generations. The next several years took Mariani on a journey any foodie would envy. She went to Pollenzo, Italy, and earned a master’s degree from the University of Gastronomic Sciences; cooked at the American Academy in Rome; then returned to California and worked at…

A couple of years ago, around the time she turned 52, Salma Hayek noticed that something strange was going on. She was on a film set in Croatia, doing her own stunts while reprising her role as fearsome con woman Sonia Kincaid in the action-comedy sequel The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. Sonia spends much of the movie wielding firearms and f-bombs (and strap-on jokes) to show Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson who’s boss. One day during filming, Hayek got a confidential phone call from Chloé Zhao, the Oscar-winning director of Nomadland. Zhao was prepping the upcoming Marvel Studios blockbuster Eternals, and she wanted Hayek to play the ageless superhero and cosmic genius Ajak. Originally conceived as a male character, Ajak can lift 25 tons and fly at nearly the speed…

Winnie Harlow I’m going to Greece for my girlfriend’s wedding, and I can’t wait. A lot of events have been put on hold [during the pandemic], so it will be fun to celebrate like we used to and see all of the people who I haven’t gotten to see in a while. Greece is such a beautiful place. I always have the best time when I visit! Harlow stars in Making the Cut on Amazon Prime Video. Aurora James I’ve been craving space; I’m sure we all have. So I would love to go to almost any open expanse. I don’t think it’s just my feet that need to roam. I feel like my energy needs to travel too. I’m most looking forward to just falling asleep in the grass.…
