1 ROLLER CHICK Celebrate Go Skate Day on June 21 by, you know, skating— specifically, skateboarding. Your sporty, punk-loving inner teen will thank you. 2 BLING FLING The Paige Novick for Kilian Collection has a secret: a scented ceramic disk inside each item. (Collection from $2,200, Paige Novick for Kilian Collection; bykilian.com) 3 HEROINE CHIC Marion Cotillard (left) takes the New York Philharmonic stage for the U.S. premiere of Joan of Arc at the Stake, directed by Côme de Bellescize.

Just don’t do it in, say, an elevator, K? 5 SWEET…

IN OUR INBOX WONDER WOMEN I loved the Kerry Washington cover story by Lena Dunham [“Very Kerry”]. Reading about a strong female in Hollywood through the eyes of another equally successful woman was great, as was seeing Lena as eager to interview Kerry as any Scandal superfan would be. —Jonathan Urbina, Slidell, LA TRUMP CARD Thank you for your interview with Ivanka Trump [“Empire State”]. I admire her drive, class, poise, and accomplishments. I’m her age and in real estate, so I really liked the bit on the importance of comfortable shoes and construction sites! At a time when it seems difficult to find role models in the media, this woman has it all together. Some women you want to be around, and some women you just want to be!…

HAIR: To add some windblown texture to the actress’s cropped cut, hairstylist Chris McMillan spritzed texturizing mist on damp hair. He then blowdried it for extra volume, and used his hands to work in a fexible hairspray. MAKEUP: McAdams’ makeup artist on set was none other than her sister, Kayleen McAdams. Together they decided on an ultrafeminine yet natural look. “I wanted the makeup to blend seamlessly and let Rachel take center stage,” Kayleen says. A touch of concealer and light-pink cream blush lent a subtle flush to her skin. NAILS: For a simple effect, manicurist Ashlie Johnson buffed nails and left the tips polish-free. “I recommend this finish for anyone who wants to give their nails a break,” Johnson says. “I WAS LOOKING TO IMAGES OF MADONNA FOR HAIR…

PRECIOUS PETALS Lace-trimmed leather flowers give of an upscale arts-and-crafs vibe. TREAD OF ROSES Wildfower embroidery inspired by Botticelli’s La Primavera— and created by famed British textile designer Celia Birtwell— pops even more against black suede. SQUARE ROOT Sequins and charms add just the right amount of whimsy to a ladylike box tote.…

COOL AND COLLECTED Q Working in corporate finance, I never know how to dress appropriately in the summer. How can I beat the heat while still looking professional? —Elise, Houston Take your cues from the three N’s: natural, neutral, and nononsense styles. The more natural the fabric, the better—cotton, linen, silk, and blends of each are your best options (a little added Lycra means less wrinkling). palette-wise, stick with neutrals like tan, pale gray, and navy. For clothing, sleeveless styles can be paired with a ¾-sleeve blazer or cardigan for air-conditioned offices and important meetings. Also consider lightweight shirtdresses and sleeveless blazers/waistcoats. Above all, remember to just keep it simple. SHOW BUSINESS Q I’m self-conscious about showing my legs. What are some dress and skirt styles I can wear now to cover…

STATE OF THE ART Let Frida ring! Iconic artist Kahlo’s love of nature is the theme of an exhibit opening this month at the New York Botanical Garden, showing a rare selection of her paintings and works on paper—not to mention a life-size replica of the famed garden and studio at la Casa Azul, her lifelong home in Mexico City. (nybg.org/frida) WINGING IT Designer Camilla Stærk and model Helena Christensen have partnered with Danish lifestyle brand Skagen on a line of sculptural jewelry.

Stopping infant mortality cold HER INSPIRATION Every year, nearly 3 million babies die in the first 28 days of life. What’s worse? Many deaths could be avoided by simply keeping the babies warm. In the U.S., struggling babies are put in incubators, but in poorer countries, the $20,000 devices can be out of reach. HER BIG IDEA For an assignment at Stanford University in 2007, Jane Chen and three classmates built a portable incubator that looks like a mini sleeping bag. Inside, a pouch that can be heated using hot water keeps a baby warm for up to six hours. Best of all, it costs only $200. RESULTS Chen’s Embrace Warmers have been used by more than 150,000 babies in 11 countries. This spring, to accelerate her goal of reaching…

DESPITE WIDESPREAD outrage and promises of reform, a new report shows that sexual assault in the military continues unabated. This month, the RAND Corporation, a research organization commissioned by the Department of Defense to assess the levels of sexual assault and gender-based discrimination, released the results of its survey. The key findings: In the past year, approximately 20,000 of the military’s 1.3 million active-duty members experienced one or more sexual assaults—roughly the same as in past years— and 62 percent of female victims who reported an assault experienced retaliation from their superiors. To that end, in March, four female soldiers and veterans sued to stop the Defense Department from putting commanders in charge of cases. “There is no other mission for our military where this much failure would be allowed,”…

PARTY BASICS What you need to throw the best bash ever Listen to This The secret to making a party playlist everyone loves: Don’t do it. Play indie pop darling ryn Weaver’s debut, The Fool (June 16), instead. This 22-yearold Cali girl has a song for everyone. “OctaHate” will satisfy your friend who insists on dancing; “Pierre” is for the folk-loving hipster; and “Traveling Song” is just dreamy.

GO EASY The key to this style is to embrace your natural texture any chance you get, says Townsend—it keeps you from looking like you tried too hard. Blow your hair out smooth if you like, but skip the root-lifting round brush. No volume on top is part of what makes the look so chic. “It’s a combination of beachy hair and bed head,” he says. “Like you went to the beach and then took a nap.” GET BENDS To add waves without plugging in a hot tool, rub a dollop of light styling cream between your palms and rake it through dry hair. Next, create a very loose braid, tying it off two to three inches from the bottom so your ends remain straight (only go twice around with…

STAY STRONG “Prevention is key when it comes to summertime damage,” says Atkin. The sun, chlorine, and saltwater all weaken hair, so if you know you’ll be exposed, she recommends applying a leave-in conditioner as a barrier before you head out. At the very least, wet your hair with tap water before a dip in the ocean or pool, suggests Townsend. (Saturated strands soak up less of the bad stuff.) RINSE WELL No matter what, you still have to tend to your hair post-swim to remove chemicals and salt. A simple rinse with plain water is fine, and “You don’t have to shampoo every time your hair gets wet, but you do need to condition,” says Townsend. Not only will it help you detangle so you’re less likely to cause…

“MY BIG SMILE IS THE PERFECT ACCESSORY FOR ANY OUTFIT.” GUEST EDITOR: LISA ESCOBAR, 37 This interior decorator and stylist breaks down some of her favorite things to do in Sin City. Big primpin’: With Chloé and Givenchy boutiques, the Wynn Resort (wynnlasvegas.com) is the perfect playground for a high roller looking to spend her winnings. There’s even the Claude Baruk salon, where you can get a caviar hair treatment in a private VIP room while sipping champagne. No-brainer. Night out: Sure, we love the in-house DJ and thinly sliced Wagyu beef at the Asian-fusion restaurant Andrea’s (wynnlasvegas.com/dining/finedining/andreas), but it’s really the flaming Mt. Fuji layer cake that makes this place extra hot. Must-do: June 19 to 21, thousands flock to town to hear EDM music and witness circus-style performances…

Rachel McAdams shows up for our interview in an electric car the size of a toaster. We’re high up in L.A.’s Fryman Canyon on a bright, breezy spring morning, and McAdams is wearing a baggy maroon hoodie, no-name sunglasses, spandex leggings, and a Pittsburgh Pirates ball cap. Her hair is four inches of black roots plus three inches of bleached-out surf-rat frizz at the ends. Her makeup is slim to none. If anyone has ever wondered what the opposite of a movie star entrance looks like, it’s safe to say this is it. “I hope this doesn’t seem too weird,” says McAdams of her plan for us to hike the canyon, laying on a smile that could melt steel. You know the one—that dimpled, playful, twinkly eyed number that made…

I’LL NEVER FORGET losing my monthly birth-control pack. My stomach sank as I searched my purse. I dashed to the pharmacy, where I was told I needed to contact my doctor, who was out for days, for additional refills. The gap threw my period out of whack, and my insurance didn’t cover the replacement pack, putting me out over $100. Challenges like these are “commonly mentioned by women and a frequent reason for missed pills,” says Dr. Daniel Grossman, who coordinates the Oral Contraceptives Over-the-Counter Working Group, a coalition advocating to make the Pill more accessible, as it is in Argentina, Russia, South Korea, and more than 100 other countries where women don’t need a prescription. Today, there’s a growing movement in the United States that includes physicians, Planned Parenthood,…

NEW SQUEEZE We’ve spotted this mysterious spiked grenade on the desks of technoscenti plagued by aches from texting and typing. Turns out, it’s a therapy tool designed by a Japanese acupuncturist to stimulate acupressure points on hands, improving blood flow and potentially helping with pain. There’s no proof of its benefits (yet), but at least it takes you away from the screen for a few minutes—which is the first step toward alleviating tech-aches. URBAN OUTFIT Rebecca Minkof’s new athleisure (sorry, that word is here to stay) collection is full of slick-yet-comfy separates you’ll wear through a weekend of dog walking and errand running—all while secretly hoping to run into someone you know so they can see how cute you look. IT BIKE Commuting just got a whole lot cooler with…

COUNTING HER STEPS was never the point. When Anna Maltby Patil, 28, first got a Fitbit, the idea was to track her sleep and gain insight on her insomnia. The original goal was quickly abandoned—she was too good at lying perfectly still, fooling the sensor into thinking she was asleep—but she kept wearing the device and was surprised to discover that she rarely hit its 10,000-step goal. “I’d get really down on myself,” the New York City–based writer says. “It sounds crazy, but I felt like a failure when I didn’t get to 10K, so I’d pace around my apartment at night trying to hit the target.” Patil is just one of about a kajillion women who check their phones and gadgets for daily health stats. More than 13 times…

EARLY ONE morning three years ago, I peeled myself away from my fiancé in our tiny Manhattan bedroom and plopped down in front of my computer. In my inbox was an e-mail from my ex-boyfriend, Robert,* whom I hadn’t heard from in ages, with the subject line “Congrats x3!!!” Robert toasted me on my engagement, gaining tenure at the university where I taught, and my recent book deal. “I could not be more happy for you,” he wrote. “You should be incredibly proud of yourself.” I wondered why he was doing such a big rah-rah show of support—but then he revealed perhaps the true reason for contacting me: “As for me, I can only lay claim to one of your achievements—I got engaged last fall and will be married in…

FOR YEARS, I was terrified to wear white. After all, most of my life I’d been told to stick with black because it’s so slimming. Light shades would add 20 pounds to my frame. Blah, blah, blah. Turns out, white is associated with some of the biggest myths in fashion. While it’s true that white can be a little less forgiving, its biggest problem has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the cut, fit, and quality of the garment. The key to nailing white: contrast. I always opt for white pieces with interesting textural details, then offset the starkness with bold accessories. Your turn to try it! Post your pics and tag me on Instagram @nicolettemason. BASIC TRAINING The standard white shirt goes boom with next-level…

MARIE CLAIRE: DATING RING COMBINES TRADITIONAL MATCHMAKING WITH AN ALGORITHM THAT PAIRS PEOPLE OFF. WHY LAUNCH A DATING APP? LAUREN KAY: I was very single. I was not enthralled with the dating sites that were out there. At the time, I was super into a guy who had a girlfriend, and I was trying to get my mind off that. I needed a big distraction—like a starting-a-company-size distraction. So I e-mailed 30 of my friends [to ask], “Doesn’t being single suck? What if I try something different? Would you be my guinea pigs?” And every single person sent back long, supportive e-mails about how if anyone was crazy enough to do this, it was me. MC: LAST YEAR, YOU GOT INTO Y COMBINATOR, THE ELITE SILICON VALLEY–BASED ACCELERATOR THAT HELPS…

Though federal law doesn’t require rape kits to be tracked and tested, experts estimate the national backlog at 400,000. But four states (Illinois, Colorado, Ohio, and Texas) do require law enforcement to inventory and analyze kits, many others have passed reform laws, and some cities have taken it upon themselves to conduct a count. Here’s a look at the biggest backlogs (we know of) and what—if anything—is being done about them STATES THAT HAVE PROPOSED REFORMS IN 2015* Alaska Arizona Arkansas Georgia Hawaii Iowa Kentucky Minnesota Mississippi New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Washington Wyoming LEGEND States that have enacted reforms (12) States that haven’t done anything yet in 2015 (21) States that have proposed reforms in 2015* (17) *Call your legislator and urge him or…

9AM On the subway in New York City, I’ll read YAHOO NEWS to keep up with the daily news. 10AM I check the LE MONDE and VEJA apps for international news and to practice my language skills. 2PM During a break from rehearsal or filming, I check soccer, tennis, and basketball scores on ESPN.COM. 6PM I work my way through THE ATLANTIC on the way home— it makes me feel not all is lost to emoticons and lazy blog grammar. 8PM If there’s a BROOKLYN NETS game on, that’s my go-to. Otherwise, I’m watching RuPaul’s Drag Race or Orphan Black. WEEKEND I like to listen to music and podcasts like SERIAL, NPR’S INVISIBILIA, and the BBC’S DESERT ISLAND DISCS while cooking meals in bulk for the week.…

Director Paul Feig makes Bond look like a tuxedo-clad baby with his new movie, Spy, starring Melissa McCarthy as a badass CIA agent. Since he’s also writing the all-female Ghostbusters reboot, we asked him to recast some other famously dude-centric movies SCARFACE: Kate Beckinsale. I’d keep the tagline—“Say hello to my little friend!”— exactly the same, just because I’d love to hear Kate screaming it from a balcony as she unloads rounds of machine-gun fire. FIGHT CLUB: Kristen Wiig as Ed Norton and Melissa McCarthy as Brad Pitt. I’d completely buy that—might as well make it. It’s going to be my next reboot. DIE HARD: Amy Poehler needs to star in Die Hard. I like when Amy’s kind of acting tough and sort of badass. Maybe she’d be an underachieving…

TIP: USE CLEAR MASCARA TO SMOOTH FUZZY BABY STRANDS ALONG YOUR HAIRLINE. START RIGHT When aiming for sleek and shiny, skip traditional gel, which can give you a helmet effect. Instead, run four to five drops of dry oil through damp hair before blowdrying. GO LOW “I love a clean ponytail at the nape of the neck with hair wrapped around the base,” says Cho. Use a comb to part your hair down the middle and secure it at the nape of your neck with a clear elastic. Wrap a small section of hair from the ponytail around the band and secure with pins. For extra smoothness, run a flatiron over the tail. PLAY WITH TEXTURE Update your topknot with this trick: Pull hair back tightly into a smooth ponytail…

BREAKDOWN BLUR SPRAY 10 IN. Spray Sephora’s new mist on your face from this distance for a pore-blurring, complexion-mattifying effect. 40 PSI Pressure at which the ultrafine spray comes out (that’s super-gentle). 0 Amount of silicone and oil in the formula. MC’S MOST WANTED Between Postmates and Seamless, we expect to get what we want ASAP. La Prairie’s serum reduces fine lines in two weeks, about half the time it takes to see results with some other wrinkle fighters. The secret: Antiagers are encapsulated and attached to a peptide that “drives” them to collagensupporting cells, so they don’t just sit around in the top layer of skin doing nothing.

“No one knows who the fuck I am,” says Abbey Lee. Taken out of context, that’s not true. In the fashion world, which Lee inhabited for 10 years, the Melbourne, Australia, native is very well known for her Gucci and Versace ad campaigns and for walking the runways for Chanel, Givenchy, and Lanvin. So, some context: Not many in Hollywood are familiar with her, a plus or a minus for new actresses like Lee, 27, depending on whether filmmakers want a fresh face or are banking on a familiar one for a box-office bump. Lucky for Lee, George Miller, the director of the just-released Mad Max: Fury Road, was going for the former. Beating out more than a thousand girls for the role of The Dag—a “bit of a pixie,…

WHAT METHOD DO YOU USE? “Nexplanon is the best thing ever. Implanted once, good for THREE YEARS. And the kicker? Lighter/no periods!!!!” —@JoiedeVar THROUGHOUT MY teenage years, condoms seemed unsophisticated, even downright silly: a rubber penis hat kept in men’s wallets, pulled out under cover of night for furtive acts. In college, I went on the Pill and only slept with committed boyfriends. Later, I experimented with condoms, but fumbling through a drawer, ripping the package open, and then goofily putting it on left me red-faced—not in a good way—and could divert a boner entirely. The Pill, by comparison, was gloriously seamless and under the radar. I stayed on the Pill for some 15 years. And while I never got pregnant, I did worry about blood clots. There was a…

TRICIA DONEGAN was an overwhelmed, stressed-out restaurateur in Atlanta working 120 hours a week when a friend dragged her to the Bikram yoga class that changed her life. “It was the first time I couldn’t rely on my physicality alone; I needed to connect mentally to succeed—and I was hooked,” Donegan says. She sold her restaurants, moved to New York City, trained to be a Bikram teacher, and, in 2004, opened Bikram Yoga Lower East Side. The studio, which is more punk rock than hippie-dippie, has a fiercely loyal following, including devotee Lady Gaga. We asked Donegan to fill us in on her daily routine. —Courtney Dunlop 6:15AM I wake up when my girlfriend brings me coffee, no alarm clock. Then I go wake my daughter and make her breakfast.…

ROCK ’N’ ROLL “Although indoor rock climbing can be frustrating, it’s so exciting! It’s always a challenge.” SKI BUM “In the French Alps, I went backcountry skiing, lost a ski, and took a major fall.

Cooped up with cabin fever all winter long, waiting out gray, drizzly spring days—it’s no wonder that when summer finally arrives, we’re stoked just to get out of the house already and do something. And where better to hang outdoors than at a music festival, which is why we bring you “Here Comes the Sun” (p. 130), our how-not-to-get-sunburned guide—whether you’re at Lolla in Chicago’s Grant Park; Glastonbury at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England; the Governors Ball on Randall’s Island in NYC; or any of the many others rocking the planet in the weeks to come. Consider it an all-access pass to everything sunscreen. (One tidbit: Just because your makeup has SPF doesn’t mean it’s enough.)

AGE: 36. CURRENT RESIDENCE: Toronto. GREEN LIGHT: The ecoconscious actress drove herself to the L.A. set in a rented electric car, natch. “I’ve yet to buy my own,” she says. “I’m waiting for there to be more charging stations available.” THE WAY SHE MOVES: The rock-and-roll fan jammed out to a playlist including Hozier, Iron & Wine, and 1985, and danced with hairstylist Chris McMillan when Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House” came on. McADAMS FAMILY: Her younger sister, Kayleen McAdams, did her makeup for the shoot. One of the actress’s favorite childhood memories was picking out a stuffed animal from the hospital gift shop for her new baby sibling. “I remember being so excited,” she says. “It felt just like Christmas … getting a human!” CHERRY BOMB A vibrant…

NINA’S NOTES: My favorite thing about fashion is that it always keeps you guessing. Feel like certain trends are overdone? The latest iterations might just change your mind. This season, forals turn dark, punk rock gets polished, and stripes go wide and colorful. The cool new color palette? Bet you weren’t expecting head-to-toe tan. As creatures of habit, when it comes to style, most of us think we know what we do and don’t like. But sometimes a little something unexpected is just what you need. Tell me how you’re keeping things fresh @ninagarcia.…

GROWING UP IN the town of Granville in Normandy, France, Christian Dior was mesmerized by the ships he could see sailing by from the window of his family’s seaside home. The house, Villa Les Rhumbs, was named after the old marine term rhumb, describing any one of the 32 points on a wind rose (today known as a compass). Years later on the streets of Paris, the designer happened upon a star medallion that reminded him of the wind rose, and he pocketed it for good luck; Dior took the star as a sign he should follow his dream of opening a couture house.

It was really helpful to go in and say, ‘Hey, did you see us in the Times? We’re growing quickly.’” 3 Say buh-bye to your social life. “The other day I managed to squeeze in an hour and a half for tennis and an episode of House of Cards. Then it was back to work.”…

WHEN FEMALE SOCCER stars learned the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup would be played on plastic turf instead of the grass men’s teams play on, they were furious. Artificial turf, the athletes claim, leads to more injuries, inhibits aggressive play, and causes the ball to bounce and roll differently. So 84 women who will participate in this month’s games—including Team USA’s Abby Wambach and Alex Morgan— sued FIFA, soccer’s international governing body, and the Canadian Soccer Association, host of the monthlong tournament. In the lawsuit, the women called the fake grass “a second-class surface” and claimed that FIFA had denigrated female players and violated the Ontario Human Rights Code. After months of stalling by FIFA, the women withdrew the complaint in January—they needed to prepare for the field they would…

Your guide to GOING OUT, staYing in, and getting away CAUGHT IN HER WEB I have a lifelong love of monsters and freaks in the natural world, and I was able to find a lot of little monsters when I began traveling for different jobs. PARIS MATCH I started collecting with no real plan, but then I went to this taxidermy shop in Paris called Deyrolle. They have a whole entomology room—really lovely mounting equipment, like pegs and pins and forceps and stuff. But it was expensive! I’m like, I will buy this on the Internet and do it myself. Fact: There are a bunch of classroom resources for middle schoolers learning about bugs on eBay. HOW-TO It’s very low-level. I just find them, usually dead, while traveling. I let…

THE GIRLFRIEND You’ll know her by: She poutily tagged along on her BF’s invite. Keep cool: You can always ignore her—after all, Debbie Downer’s gonna Debbie-down—but why not say hi? Maybe she’s cool and just tired of that same old boys’ trip story. THE DRUNKY MCDRUNKERTON You’ll know her by: It’s probably your friend. The one saying, “Ohhh, my Goood, I’m so drunk!” Keep cool: Swap her beer for a glass of lemonade, and tag-team drunkysitting duties with other friends every 20 minutes. THE BURGER KING You’ll know him by: He’s one of a smattering of dudes avoiding social interaction by grilling. Keep cool: If he’s cute? Single him out and ask him to keep you company while you enjoy the meat-fruits of his labor. THE BUSY BEE You’ll know…

PREP STEPS 1 TRIM DOWN Get a haircut at the beginning of the summer so you’re starting with a healthy canvas. This strategy lets you coast until the end of beach season, just in time to snip off frayed, damaged ends for fall, explains Los Angeles–based Dove celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend. 2 KEEP IT SHEARED Ask your stylist to use scissors instead of a razor— at least until September. Hot, lazy days mean airdrying, which doesn’t work well with a razor cut. (The technique slices tips on an angle that can cause ends to stick out.) “If your hair is razored and you don’t do a perfect blowout, you’ll have flyaways,” warns Townsend. 3 SAY BYE TO BANGS Sweaty foreheads and humidity can cause short layers to curl up, so…

PART WAYS A low bun becomes party-ready with something as simple as a deep, precise side part. “It’s a fast style that can take you from a post-gym shower to dinner quickly while still looking chic,” says Los Angeles and New York City hairstylist Jen Atkin. Apply one to two drops of anti-frizz serum, use a fine-tooth comb to create the part, and smooth hair into a ponytail with a boar-bristle brush before twisting and pinning the bun. ADD FLAIR Any hair texture, length, and style looks instafancy with a sparkly hair accessory—even unwashed, straightfrom-the-beach texture. Atkin loves headbands as an easy way to dress things up. If your hair is superfine, create grip first with a generous helping of dry shampoo. PIN IT BACK Small accessories, big impact: Matte…

NORMALLY, I’M NOT one for frilly, girly stuff. But when Givenchy’s badass designer, Riccardo Tisci, incorporates the house’s signature flower prints into the collection, somehow floral suddenly gets subversive and therefore infinitely cooler. Case in point: this limited-edition “couture” lipstick (left) that comes in a leather case, which similarly toughens up frilly, girly blooms. The fuchsia shade commemorates 10 years of Givenchy’s fantastic Le Makeup line, of which I am a huge fan. The beauty line’s artistic director, Nicolas Degennes, is basically a magician— in fact, it looks like he’s even managed to turn me on to pink peonies!…
