1. JETT FUEL Rock-history buffs, take note: Bad Reputation, a new documentary on the legendary Joan Jett, has just hit theaters. Come for the awesome archival footage; stay for the interviews with everyone from Debbie Harry to Iggy Pop. 2. TALENT SHOW If you’re into artists like Mondrian and Kandinsky, get to the Guggenheim in NYC on October 12 for the opening of Hilma af Klint’s first major U.S. solo exhibition. A Swedish painter inspired by mysticism and the occult, Klint started making bold, colorful abstract art well before the men credited with the genre’s creation did, but she stipulated that her work not be shown until at least 20 years after her death. 3. RIOT GIRLS In this era when women aren’t afraid to get loud, author Rebecca Traister…

When The Jetsons first aired on prime time in 1962, the family’s flying car was pure fantasy; in 2020, Uber will test an airborne taxi service. The 1999 Disney Channel flick Smart House featured a tricked-out home that did household chores via computer; you can now get an app-controlled dishwasher to clean plates in 10 minutes flat or a machine that folds laundry for you. When Black Mirror arrived on Netflix in 2014, viewers were unsettled by an episode in which a humanoid robot captured the personality of a woman’s departed ex-boyfriend, based on his tweets. That robot actually exists: Bina48 uses social-media posts to channel the traits of a real person. What was once TV magic has become reality. Advances in technology are stretching nearly unfathomable boundaries. For our…

The Expert Says “Technology should be in service to humanity. It should support our lives, not be at the center of them. Voice-enabled products are already here. Now we’re asking, how can you use all your senses—eyes, ears, voice, touch—to create fluidity and magic at home? What society dreams and thinks about is ultimately what will get created.” —IVY ROSS, head of design for hardware products at Google PICTURE THIS Microsoft’s HoloLens headset uses augmented reality to allow colleagues thousands of miles apart to share a screen and collaborate, surgeons to see 3-D scans of patients’ hearts before surgery, and professionals to guide DIY-ers through home-improvement projects. From $3,000; microsoft.com. BIRD’S EYE The Meeting Owl, a speaker topped by a 360 degree camera, tackles the conundrum of video conferencing when…

“Nothing works better than the Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer to help protect my hair against extreme heat damage through a week of styles.”—ROXANA VELAZCO @helloitsroxie DAY 1: WORKIN’ IT SMOOTH & SLEEK SLEEK WORK THE LOOK “I start the week with a straight, down style, which gives my hair instant polish. To get this look, I use the Dyson Supersonic™ smoothing nozzle attachment and work the dryer from root to tip for a quick, rough dry.” DAY 2: WEEKEND READY TOUSLED WAVES WORK THE LOOK “The three-speed air setting makes mastering my voluminous waves easy and defines my natural curl while helping to reduce frizz. The healthy, natural look frames my face and powers my step into the weekend.” DAY 3: COMFORTABLY CHIC TEASED UPDO WORK THE LOOK “When I opt for an up style, I…

TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY “I’M INCREDIBLY SENSITIVE TO THE WORLD AND TO THE WAY IN WHICH WE’RE ALL NAVIGATING TOGETHER AS PEOPLE,” KIDMAN SAYS. HIGH NOTE “IT’S KIND OF NICE WHEN YOU’RE MARRIED TO A MUSICIAN AND THEY’LL PLAY ANYTIME, ANYWHERE FOR YOU. EVEN WHEN THEY DON’T WANT TO. THAT’S LOVE.” LIVE AND LEARN “PART OF THE TRAJECTORY OF SUCCESS IS FAILURE. YOU’VE GOT TO BE ALLOWED TO FALL AND GET BACK UP AND HAVE A SECOND CHANCE AND THIRD CHANCE AND A FOURTH CHANCE.” NICOLE Kidman and her husband, the country music star Keith Urban, like to play a little game. Say they’re talking about a guitarist: “When I say to him, ‘What kind of guitarist is that person?’ we do this,” she says, patting her head, patting her heart,…

What beauty products are you obsessed with right now? Chances are, plenty of them are recently hatched rather than classics. This shift guided “Cults of Personality” (p. 24), which looks at indie brands that have not so quietly disrupted the industry. The one thing they have in common? Unlike so many of the mega beauty companies, run by male executives, all of the brands we profiled were founded by women who have smashed mirrored-glass ceilings. And in the grand tradition of pioneers like Estée Lauder and Helena Rubinstein, who knows what women want better than other women? Speaking of change, knowing the origin of your food is considered de rigueur for today’s well-informed eater, and the same now applies to the products on your vanity. To help you shop responsibly,…

TAG TEAM: “The lettering I did for the limited edition La Vie Est Belle bottle is derived from 1980s graffiti in New York. It’s hard to combine that edginess with Lancôme’s classiness, but it works; it’s like an elegant woman who is also fierce and strong.” GENERATION NEXT: “There are so many global female artists who inspire me: Faith47 from South Africa, Shiro from Japan, Mick La Rock from the Netherlands, Nina [Pandolfo] from Brazil.” MOST PLAYED: “On S&M, a collaboration between Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony, the orchestra is doing their classical instruments but going fast and strong with the crazy metalheads. It’s my favorite album.” MUST VISIT: “The Queens Museum has an amazing panorama of New York City, with all the buildings in miniature. It’s laid out…

My life can be measured in tubes, pots, and palettes: the bronzer I overdid in middle school; my first designer eye shadow in college; the bloodred lipstick I bought to feel like Siouxsie Sioux when I moved to New York City. To this day, coworkers hardly recognize me if I’m not wearing a bold lip color. So you can imagine my trepidation when my editor asked me to forgo cosmetics for a week and focus my creative energy on “making up” my hair instead. Could all the new types of temporary hair color—one-day sprays, glitter gels, vibrant clip-ins—give me the same confidence as a red lip or sharp cat eye? I was about to find out. On day one, a Friday, I hit snooze three times. The plan was to…

Not for nothing did chicken soup earn the nickname “Grand ma’s penicillin.” While it’s no substitute for antibiotics, it is one of the most nourishing, hydrating, and easily digested foods to consume when you’re recovering from a bad case of the sniffles. So much so, in fact, that nearly every culture makes, and has made for time immemorial, some version of chicken soup or, at least, broth. And while the exact medicinal properties of the elixir—made by simmering water, meat, bones, vegetables, and often herbs for several hours—remain the source of much debate, we do know that bone broth is particularly rich in collagen. Yes, collagen. You’ve probably heard the word used singularly, but in fact collagen is a family of 28 (currently identified) proteins, many of which give structure…

An advertisement currently running on Dutch television features a woman emerging from a car. As she slams the door behind her, the camera zooms in to reveal a tiny handprint on the auto’s shimmery surface. “Many products contain traces of child labor,” says the voice-over. “Traces of the mineral mica, mined by children’s hands.” The spot might just as well have featured an eyeshadow compact with a wee thumbprint on the surface of its sparkly powder. The word mica, from the Latin micare—to shine, flash, or glitter—actually refers to a group of 37 crystalline minerals that have dozens of industrial applications and are used to add shimmer to everything from car paints to cosmetics. European news reports and public-awareness campaigns have educated consumers about the sometimes-shady origins of the substance,…

Moving Forward @BarbaraLeeSays: “We’ve got to get to a point where it doesn’t raise eyebrows to have someone give birth in office. Just like it shouldn’t raise eyebrows to have a woman be a senator.” —@SenDuckworth Great piece from @kaylawebley via @marieclaire! Wellness Wishes I’ve been itching to take a solo trip for a while now, but I’ve felt too afraid. The women describing their own experiences in “Fantastic Voyages” make solo travel actually feel doable. I particularly love that there are organizations like G Adventures that provide a local taste of the town and give back to the community. Even SuperShe Island sounds up my alley. How awesome would it be to kick back with a bunch of other boss ladies!? Safe to say, this article left me inspired…

The Expert Says “ ‘Additive manufacturing’ sounds so damn industrial, but it’s the combination of AI, materials, design, and 3-D technology. When it all comes together, you get a massively bespoke approach to designing jewelry, clothing, shoes, even braces. You’ll soon see it come much more into our lives and pervade everything we do.” —SUE SIEGEL, chief innovation officer at GE SKY HIGH Starting in 2020, Uber will begin testing its air-taxi service in Dallas, Los Angeles, and an unannounced international city. Uber says its VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) vehicles will use electric propulsion, which means zero operational emissions. Ride-sharing junkies can expect a public launch by 2023. uber.com.

AT THE END OF EVERY WORKWEEK BUMBLE FOUNDER AND CEO WHITNEY WOLFE HERD likes to slow things down for her team. Often this means staying at HQ—a playful mid-century-style pad of many yellows and hexagonal motifs—to treat the now-60-person team based in Austin, Texas, to manicures in the designated Glam Room (which doubles as a nursing haven for new moms). But today she takes them to the local Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to see RBG, the recently released documentary about iconic Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The group of staffers, mostly women, fills seats around Wolfe Herd; the theater, with its menu of food and cocktails, provides a giddy sense of playing hooky rather than one of required reading. Betty Boop for President, a slyly subversive black-and-white cartoon, plays before…

Q: The news these days makes me feel either depressed or outraged and ultimately defeated. How do I channel those feelings into something positive? Studies show the barrage of disturbing and infuriating stories can worsen feelings of anxiety, lead to sadness, and flip you into a bad mood. Negative news stories have also been shown to exacerbate personal worries unrelated to the content of the story itself. In other words, a story about a disheartening political situation can amplify concerns about your relationship. The 24/7 news cycle is emotionally draining. It’s so easy to tumble down the rabbit hole of live updates as an event unfolds. The irony is that following a breaking event may make us feel more involved but does not necessarily make us more informed. Most of…

Remember when Red Bull was the jam? The pendulum has swung, friends, and the hottest new “trend” is…sleep. Everyone craves it, and in these anxiety-laden times, it’s no wonder people want to hide under the covers. Just look at the proliferation of sound-machine apps, “napercise” classes, and chic indie bedding companies. The leader of the latter is Casper, which has graduated from shipping boxed mattresses to your door to selling various sleep accoutrements, including linens, a new “nap pillow” that you can place on your desk for a stealth in-office snooze, and sessions at just-opened sleep haven the Dreamery in NYC, which welcomes the yawning masses for 45-minute siestas. Of course, sleep’s beauty benefits are well known. To wit, a slew of nighttime products now aim to optimize them: Estée…

THEME YOUR FETE Keep your event classy by using your costume and makeup as inspiration to plan the evening. Keep the theme alive by coordinating your makeup look with the invitation and party decor. A “Mummy Mash” theme for example, lets guests use creativity in their own looks but also provides a truly #instagrammable experience. Try painting pumpkins white to further communicate the theme to your guests. MAKE IT MEMORABLE Incorporate interactive experiences into the party. We love costume trophies—who wins the scariest, most creative, and best makeup of the year? You pick! Also fun? A witch hat ring toss and a themed cocktail cart. NAIL THE LOOK No costume is complete unless you experiment with makeup to completely transform your look. Once you decide on your character, use bold…

Must Dew This fall, a luminous complexion is the basis for every look—and an absolute must if you want to pull off the you-but-better makeup that’s so of the moment. Start with an easy skincare routine that you’ll actually stick to: Cleanse daily—Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 ($8.99) doesn’t overdry or cause irritation—and then layer on an antioxidant boost, such as L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intense 10% Pure Vitamin C Concentrate ($29.99), to take your glow to the next level. If you need coverage, reach for an ultrasheer foundation; Giorgio Armani Beauty Face Fabric Second Skin Makeup ($49) blurs imperfections and feels like next to nothing. Finish things off with satiny nude lips. Maybelline New York Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick ($7.99) has options for every skin tone. Electric…

If the terms “mica,” “potassium aluminum silicate,” or “CI 77019” are on a product’s ingredient label, it contains naturally mined mica. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as long as the company is transparent about its sources. (You can usually find this information in the “About Us” or “Ingredients” sections of a company’s website or by searching online for the brand’s sustainable-sourcing policies or guidelines.) L’Oréal, for instance, gets 60 percent of its mica from mines in the U.S. and says that it has been able to verify that 99.2 percent of the mica it uses was produced without child labor. The member companies of the Responsible Mica Initiative (responsible-mica-initiative.com) are developing software tools that will enable them to trace and disclose the sources of their mica in a…

In 1999, creator Dick Wolf’s procedural crime franchise Law & Order debuted a spin-off centered on a squad of NYPD officers who investigate sex crimes. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, or SVU as it became known, featuring topical story lines, shone a light on violence against women—and often saw justice served. It was a runaway hit and remains one of NBC’s most watched shows, with as many as 10 million viewers tuning in weekly. Now, as the series enters its 20th season—tying with Gunsmoke and the original Law & Order for longest-running drama series in TV history—we spoke to SVU star and executive producer Mariska Hargitay about her incredible run as Olivia Benson and her work to help survivors on and off screen. This is her story. DUN DUN.…

“NICOLE HERSELF WAS MY MUSE. SHE’S MYSTERIOUS, PLAYFUL, ELEGANT… SHE BECOMES YOUR VISION.”—Makeup artist ANGELA LEVIN HOMETOWN: Sydney, Australia. CURRENT HOMETOWN: Nashville. SOUTHERN COMFORT: The actress arrived in a button-down flannel top and mid-wash skinny jeans. ECO EATS: Craft service was plastic-straw-free, with Magic Markers for writing names on mason jars for drinks. GEN X: Kidman danced and sang along to the poppy lyrics of the Spice Girls’ ’90s hit “Wannabe.” LIGHT THIS WAY: “The rich-hued wardrobe selected for the shoot—filled with bold reds, golds, and browns—mixed with photographer Thomas Whiteside’s genius lighting techniques gave the shoot a warm glow,” says stylist and MC fashion director J. Errico, “almost like a play on a late-autumn sunset.” ALONG FOR THE RIDE: As the shoot wound down, the actress’s husband, country singer…

The Expert Says “If we could mime the brain of Leonardo da Vinci, who wouldn’t want to run experiments on a mind that was able to blend science, math, physics, and arts? Our thirst for information and possibilities will not die down. We’ll have to be careful—but we already live in a world where robots and humans mix. Moving forward, the technology powering those robots will be smarter and more efficient.” —AICHA EVANS, senior vice president and chief strategy officer at Intel LIFE EVERLASTING A humanoid robot with rubber skin, motorized facial tics, and a personality based on digital files that capture the personality and emotions of the person it’s based on, Bina48 is the face of transhumanism, the idea that our intelligence can live beyond human life. hansonrobotics.com.

STYLE WITH SUBSTANCE With power suits and slogan tees setting the tone this politically charged year, it’s only natural that fashion with passion emerges as the biggest trend this season. Celebrating the strength of women supporting each other, Tacori’s Shine Together bracelet is perfectly on trend. Believing that women shine brighter together, Tacori created this silver link bracelet to symbolize the power of connection. Whether you purchase this statement piece for yourself or gift it to someone you want to #ShineOn, this special bracelet is inscribed with the “Shine Together” message and showcases the brand’s signature crescent motif. Wear it to show solidarity with your fellow women or as a grown-up spin on the friendship bracelet. MSRP: $95 for one bracelet; $175 for two LADIES WHO LAUNCH As the #MeToo…

HOW DOES YOUR DEBUT RESORT COLLECTION SET THE TONE FOR WHAT’S TO COME AT THEORY? My goal was to return to Theory’s roots, to perfect the core pieces that the brand was founded on—the pant, the shirt, the jacket—and bring a new sophistication by refining the materials and the details of the garments. My main archive was [Theory cofounder] Andrew Rosen himself. We talked every day. So, when I say I went to the roots, I went to the origin of the brand to understand from his own voice what he had in mind 20 years ago. You can’t go much deeper than that. WHO IS THE NEW THEORY WOMAN? DID YOU HAVE ANY MUSES? I rarely have a specific woman in mind because the raw materials are more my…

INSIDE A SMALL CLOSET UNDER THE STAIRS in Rachel Mehl’s impeccably decorated two-story home in Pittsburgh sits a steel-gray garbage bag knotted at the top to conceal an infant bouncy chair that features pastel drawings and bits of well-known nursery rhymes: “Humpty Dumpty,” “Little Boy Blue,” “Hickory Dickory Dock.” Mehl bought the chair back in 2003, when her sister-in-law was pregnant; she purchased one for her niece and an extra for the child she herself hoped to have one day. “I remember my niece sitting in her chair and loving it,” says Mehl, 40. “And I thought, My baby is going to love that too.” The chair has been with her through many life-changing events: five jobs, three boyfriends, three homes in two cities, and one cancer diagnosis. In 2016,…

@janefonda 1. IF I WEREN’T AN ACTRESS, I’D BE: A psychologist. 2. BEST CAREER ADVICE I’VE GOTTEN: “Relax.” 3. THE QUALITY THAT GOT ME WHERE I AM TODAY: Willingness to take leaps of faith. 4. MOMENT I FELT I MADE IT: When I turned 80. 5. MOST AGONIZING CAREER DECISION I’VE EVER MADE: I tend not to agonize over things. Life’s too short. Either jump in and do it or don’t. 6. EASIEST CAREER DECISION I’VE EVER MADE: Producing 9 to 5. 7. KIND OF WORK I’D DO FOR FREE: The things I do for free are the things I don’t consider work. 8. FAVORITE PERK OF THE JOB: Having my hair and makeup done every day by two big talents, David de Leon and Jonathan Hanousek. 9. WORST PITFALL…

EASY GLOWING Keep summer-Friday vibes in effect well past Labor Day with this multipurpose tint that imparts a dewy veil of color and takes just a few seconds to apply. —J.G. Local Color Women rock lipstick all over the world, but when it comes to shade and formula, they’re speaking different languages. Here, Mary Kay global beauty ambassador Luis Casco plays trend spotter. BRAZIL: “They’re concerned about looking oily in the heat, so they wear matte everything. The population is diverse, so shades range from nudes and bricks to rich violets.” RUSSIA: “Women here are battling dryness because of the cold climate, so they stick to sheer, moisturizing glosses in pinks and nudes.” CHINA: “Pops of color are big with the younger generation, but they do a blurred-out twist where…

Denae Shanidiin “Coming into my look as a Native American woman was very empowering; it felt so meaningful.” Kelsi Carma “I’m most confident when I’m outside my comfort zone, meeting people and trying new things.” Marsroots “Growing up, I always straightened my hair. One day I decided I wasn’t going to do that anymore and cut it all off. It sparked something, and now I embrace being unique. When I go out, I don’t want anyone else to look like me.” GUEST EDITOR: MICHAELA DRANSFIELD This bartender shares SLC’s best spots. Chill out: One of the treats of living so close to the mountains is Snowbird’s Cliff Spa (snowbird.com/spa); the 360 degree view is truly memorable. And the eucalyptus steam room leaves me glowing. Retail therapy: Decades is a vintage…

MAKEUP The Insta Revolution Contouring, liner-plumped lips, highlighter that could make a unicorn cry—the hallmarks of Instagram makeup are anything but subtle. Born from a marriage of transformative technology and artistry inspired by stage makeup, this beauty “ideal” has become digitally omnipresent. There are signs, however, that the pendulum is swinging. The harbinger? None other than Kylie Jenner, one of the look’s original proponents. In July, the beauty mogul revealed her lip filler had dissolved and she’d reverted back to her natural shape. Considering her pout—and the branded products she sells—was the driving force behind that ubiquitous over-lined lip, it was a significant moment. And the shift goes beyond just one Jenner. Makeup artist and YouTube personality Wayne Goss thinks people are finally starting to realize that what works on…
