1 ET TU, SCARLETT? Hail, Caesar! (about a Hollywood fixer trying to save a studio’s stars from themselves, in theaters February 5) has it all: a ScarJo dance number, Channing Tatum in sailor uniform, and George Clooney as Julius Caesar, sort of. You’ll see. 2 THE AWARD GOES TO . . . Whoever makes it through an acceptance speech without the, ahem, music playing. The 88th Annual Academy Awards are on February 28 with Chris Rock as the undoubtedly hilarious host. 3 SAVING GRACE Grace Helbig doesn’t take fashion (or herself) too seriously, which is what makes her part-parody, part-style-self-help-guide Grace & Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It (February 2, Touchstone) as funny, relatable, and, well, awesome as she is. 4 NICE RIMS Max Mara is collaborating with…

Filled with reasons to throw parties—Mardi Gras, the Super Bowl, the Oscars, and everyone’s favorite (ha!), Valentine’s Day— February actually just makes you want to curl up on your sofa and Netflix the month away. I do love a good binge-watching session, but thankfully it’s time to start thinking about spring fashion: punchy prints, pretty maxi dresses, bohemian luxe, and exciting new designers. We’ve dedicated 16 pages to the latest collections in “Rites of Spring,” starting on page 134. Ever wonder why celebrities look so cameraready on the red carpet, in television appearances, and on the pages of magazines like this one? We decided to make the invisible hands responsible for those transformations visible by hosting our first-ever Image Makers Awards in L.A. (“The 2016 Image Makers,” page 80). In…
IN OUR INBOX AMBER’S WAVE The Amber Heard cover story [“Amber Ascendant”] struck a chord. I loved how she said that she never expected anyone to give her anything. It was refreshing to read. She is an amazing human being. —Sara Samson, Pasco, WA FAN CLUB My favorite fashion follow these days is Zanna Roberts Rassi. Her “Zanna Days” column reminds me of how I fell head over heels for fashion in the first place. Thank you for the wonderful women like her in your pages every month. I’d say don’t change a thing, but what I mean is: Keep pushing and evolving. Strong and independent women will always be the future. —Amber Meranda, Brownsburg, IN TAKE THE LEAD I initially “discovered” Marie Claire a couple months ago in a…
WRITER CATHERINE CASTRO For Castro, who lives in Paris, the best part of profiling surfers who chase Arctic Circle waves was going to Iceland (“Ice Queens,” p. 168). “It’s a story about going after your dream,” she says. READING: Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. FAVORITE ACCESSORY: “My bicycle.” PHOTOGRAPHER ELLI THOR Thor photographed surfers for “Ice Queens” (p. 168) in his native Iceland. “It had to feel real,” he says, “so we did the only logical thing, which was to go on the road for seven days. I wanted to convey a sense of how incredibly different it is to surf so far north of the equator.” SECRETLY OBSESSED WITH: Rod Stewart. FAVORITE ACTOR: Bill Murray. WRITER/PHOTOGRAPHER JASON MOTLAGH @jasonmotlagh For “Escape From Boko Haram” (p. 170), Oakland,…
AGE: 18. OCCUPATION: Actress. HOMETOWN: Atlanta. CURRENT RESIDENCE: Los Angeles. SHADES OF GRAY: Moretz arrived at the shoot in a gray BDG T-shirt, bluegray Garage hoodie, gray skinny AG jeans, and checkerboard Vans. SECONDS, PLEASE: What’s an actress to do when faced with racks of BBQ baby back ribs while wearing a designer dress? Slip on a robe, of course, which is exactly what Moretz did before having two helpings of lunch. MISS AMERICA: Moretz recently logged more than 4,000 miles on a cross-country road trip with a friend. “I am open-minded and open to adventure,” she says. HOLE FOODS: During the drive, a stop at Portland Oregon’s Voodoo Doughnut satisfied Moretz’s sweet tooth—and brought out her inner kid. “They make some vulgar doughnuts that are pretty funny,” she says,…
