MONICA AWE-ETUK, Atlanta @awedbymoni INSPIRED BY The Look: “Satin Finish” (August 2019) HOW SHE MAKES IT HER OWN Awe-Etuk is “stepping up and stepping out in satin!” A single sleeve and an asymmetrical hemline take this simple style to the next level. MARY KROSNJAR, Chicago @mksportsanista INSPIRED BY Instant Style: “Workwear 101: Jungle Book” (September 2019) HOW SHE MAKES IT HER OWN Krosnjar’s animal-print separates make a statement in or out of the office. According to her, “zebra is the new leopard.” OLYA GULAKOVA, Toronto @shinylittlepearl INSPIRED BY “Power Moves: Sparkle & Shine” (August 2019) HOW SHE MAKES IT HER OWN Swapping sequins for a shimmery texture, Gulakova looks radiant in a sweeping electric blue gown that recalls disco-era glamour.

SIMONE’S PICKS JAMIE’S PICKS…

You pored over vintage magazines to help prep for your role as 1950s housewife-turned-comedian Midge Maisel. What was the most ridiculous story you read? There were all these advertisements with doctors promoting cigarettes! I got so freaked out. The other day I was thinking about what the equivalent will be 30 years from now. Probably something really mundane like kale; we’re all going to be like, “I can’t believe all those health and beauty blogs told us to eat kale!” What was the beauty content like? There were quite a few images of women sleeping with their husbands next to them, lying in beautiful beds with these beautiful linens—and all the women had makeup on. All of them. Unabashedly. And I was like, “That! That’s where Midge’s routine of waking…

Let it be known that Caitriona Balfe doesn’t take a red carpet lightly. Case in point: the 2019 Golden Globes, where, among a sea of standard fishtail gowns, Balfe—a four-time nominee for best actress in a TV drama for her role as Claire Fraser in Outlander—turned up in a strapless custom Moschino frock that featured a voluminous burgundy velvet tulip skirt. A less confident woman wouldn’t necessarily opt for a silhouette that balloons at the hips, but Balfe, 40, isn’t afraid of Fashion (with a capital F). “That was probably the most polarizing thing I’ve worn,” she says with a laugh. “But it was different, and I loved it. I always say if I love it, then I’m happy. It doesn’t have to be for everyone else. Some of what…

I remember the first time I ever heard a Whitney Houston song. It was the ’80s and I was a little youngin’ sitting in the back seat of my mom’s car in Chicago listening to “Greatest Love of All” on the radio. I had no idea who she was because there was no Internet back then, but when I heard her voice I thought, “Wow.” Then I saw the cover of her second album, Whitney, and I thought, “Who is this woman? What is the deal here?” She was the most carefree, beautiful black woman I’d ever seen. And so from that point on I became obsessed. When her movie The Bodyguard came out, I was way too young to see it, but my mom took me anyway because she…

What does “best dressed” mean these days, anyway? We have a lot more on our minds than a good outfit. Of course, what we’re wearing can make us feel better and armed for the world. (Few things are more inherently optimistic than a new pair of shoes.) What I wanted to focus on for this issue is women who transcend clothes, who bring something extra to the table: joy, brains, vision. Let’s start with the joy. I’d usually run into Elle Fanning at events—both of us gussied up, the cameras on her every move. But what she has always radiated, and the reason she’s on this cover, is not only an innate style but also an unselfconscious enthusiasm that makes her a rare bird. Only Elle could turn up on…

FOR OUR BEST DRESSED ISSUE WE ASKED, When Have You Felt the Most Stylish? “I’ve probably felt the most stylish since moving to Brooklyn two years ago, because I’m inspired by how cool everyone else looks all the time.”LAURA BASSETT Writer, “Saying It All,” p. 82 “For my 21st birthday I wore a beautiful navy lace dress that was my mother’s. It was knee-length on her, but with a few alterations, it was full-length on me and party-perfect!”SINÉAD BURKE Advocate, Educator, and Podcast Host, “In Her Shoes,” p. 89 “I feel the most stylish on a crisp fall evening in a chic new coat.”ELLE FANNING Actress, “Give ’em Elle,” p. 133 “I was really into my first-ever sports uniform when I played on a mixed boys-and-girls under-6 basketball team at the…

FLUFF PIECE We’re going wild for the season’s most snuggly styles.…

Why She’s a Badass Bush’s fame is tied primarily to her acting roles (One Tree Hill, Chicago P.D.), but activism has also played an important part in her life for as long as she can remember. While growing up in Pasadena, Calif., she would organize fundraisers, protests, and clubs in school to tackle issues that were important to her. Now she’s focused mainly on empowering women and protecting the environment. To date, Bush has raised nearly $500,000 for charity through her social-media channels (including Instagram and Twitter), built three primary schools in Laos and Guatemala, co-founded an inclusive nontoxic finishing salon in Detroit that helps fund grants for budding female entrepreneurs, and signed her name to Time’s Up’s founding letter. “I feel the most capable, curious, and badass when I…

1 ZOEY DEUTCH Camelot vibes were on full display during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. “Zoey had mentioned doing a Jackie O look,” says Deutch’s hairstylist Gregory Russell. “Because of the [short] length of the [Armani Privé] dress and the oversize bow, I thought it would be beautiful to create an exaggerated shape for balance,” he says. “This look was dramatic yet simple.” 2 CHARLIZE THERON “We mirrored the definition and strength of her Givenchy [Haute Couture] dress with a strong middle part,” says Theron’s hairstylist Adir Abergel. Her multicolored mani added a whimsical touch. 3 NAOMI CAMPBELL The high neck of this Alexander McQueen creation brought even more focus to the super-model’s short, fresh curls and ever-sharp cheekbones. 4 ELLE FANNING Knowing the brim of Fanning’s Dior Haute Couture…

YOU DEW YOU Don’t let cold weather suck the life out of your skin. Keep it soft and supple with these hydrating elixirs Most Wanted Model It’s safe to say Georgia Fowler has earned global-citizen status: The model, who grew up in Australia and New Zealand, has walked the runways in Shanghai and Versailles and lived in L.A. and N.Y.C. Her locale often influences her beauty routine: “I’ll definitely whip out a red lipstick more readily in France,” she says, laughing. Her nonnegotiables: a heavy dose of SPF (“Sunblock is super-important in Australia—they teach you about it in the school systems!”) and a misting of Azzaro Wanted Girl eau de parfum (she is the face of the fragrance). The floral scent is bright with ginger flower yet slightly earthy with…

I’ve always absorbed my characters from the outside in. Some were more challenging to take in than others. But in hindsight it’s been fascinating to realize how much I’ve been influenced by the costumes, hair, and makeup that’ve helped me come as close to my characters as possible. I got my start in the theater, and when I arrived on Broadway to play Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, all the clothes were so much more detailed and beautifully made than I’d ever expected. The costumes were designed by the great Cecil Beaton, and though we had to make some adaptations, his knowledge of the period [the Edwardian era] was extraordinary. It wasn’t until I had Eliza’s shawl on my shoulders and her silly broken hat on my head that…

WHERE TO GO “My experience was magical. I traveled to the outskirts of Ubud, a great region that reminds me of Venice Beach [in Los Angeles] with all of its yoga studios and vegan restaurants. Later in the trip I went north to lie on the beach at Puri Bagus Lovina (1). And I loved tree-gazing in the Ubud Monkey Forest (2); the knotted roots were like twisted wild animals.” WHERE TO STAY AND EAT “I stayed on qi gong master Per van Spall’s compound for a wellness retreat, but there are lots of beautiful hotels in Ubud, such as Bambu Indah (3), that I’d like to book next time. I recommend breakfast at Café Vespa, lunches at the Elephant, and dinner at Sage. The area has so many vegetables…

Happy 25th Anniversary @instylemagazine!!! I still remember when my dad brought that 1st issue home from work back in 1994. […] I have archived in my home office the first 15 years of issues and a bunch of special issues. I was thrilled to get the anniversary issue in the mail yesterday with @juliannemoore on the cover, and she looks fantastic rocking the 90s-style looks! Congrats, InStyle! Cheers to another 25! —@CLEVELANDLEAH COVER LETTERS I have to say this with glee - In Style is the FIRST mag I have seen this year that is covering these incredible women with class and grace. […] Yay!! —@ARLAMIA, via Twitter I truly enjoyed “The Cover Stars” [p. 234] in your September issue. As a gal who has grown up with these women,…

Elle Fanning knows good fashion, and she’s got the red-carpet acumen to prove it. As a judge at the Cannes Film Festival this past May, she turned up in one killer look after another. So, obviously, we wanted her to be on the cover of our Best Dressed issue. The shoot took place in a Los Angeles shopping mall over eight couture-packed hours, with Fanning modeling gowns from Valentino Haute Couture, Fendi Couture, and Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda (an archival frock so special, it was hand-delivered from Milan and came with its own security guard). After making a pit stop at the food court to eat ramen in a voluminous Armani Privé confection (because, as Fanning says, “you can never be Best Dressed on an empty stomach”), she stepped…

1 CATE BLANCHETT Her go-to look may be “a well-pressed suit,” but even when she opts for something wildly glamorous, Blanchett keeps it real—fashion critics be damned. “True chic is effortless, and it’s got to come from you,” she says. “It’s not about what gets likes and views.” 2 KATE BOSWORTH in Chloé 3 Zoë Kravitz in a Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti bra and Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello skirt “At first I was like, ‘There’s no way in hell I’m wearing that.’ Then I sent my mom [Lisa Bonet] a picture of it as kind of a joke. And she said, ‘Honestly, you can only wear that for a few more years, so if you’re going to do it, you should do it now.’”—ZOË KRAVITZ on her Vanity…

As a self-proclaimed fashion aficionada, I can categorize most of my life by very specific shoes. Brown boating shoes shaped my teenage years. Odd, perhaps, as I never took an interest in sailing, but when I was growing up in Ireland, they were part of the uniform at my all-girls Catholic school. They were designed by a local company, Dubarry, and the leather only began to soften and become comfortable toward the end of the school year. I’m not sure who decided that they were academically appropriate, but they’re still part of the school uniform today. They’ve haunted me for almost a decade. Pink loafers with enormous bows were the most significant and well-worn shoes of my early adolescence. I bought them in the children’s department of a high-street retailer,…

Playing Sarah Connor again was not something I ever saw coming. And I wasn’t sure I wanted to because I felt pretty pleased with the character arc of the first two Terminator films. You think, “It worked—why mess with it?” But 28 years had passed, and I thought that would be a very rich landscape to explore. Obviously, it couldn’t be a redo; I’m now 63 years old. And that made it very intriguing for me. But you don’t want to let the fans down. You know the first things they’re going to look at are the “Linda Hamilton arms.” [Laughs] It’s like, “You want ’em? So do I, girl!” There’s pressure because fans expect you to look like a very close version of what you were. But I didn’t…

I’m walking behind Elle Fanning into L.A.’s Chateau Marmont—not in a creepy way—and the first thing I notice is how perfectly, well, Elle Fanning she is. She’s wearing a cute plaid pastel minidress and chunky Gucci slides, and her hair is up in a topknot. All of it is polished off by a pair of swinging vintage daisy earrings. She’s also 10 minutes early. What’s so winning about Fanning—apart from daisies and punctuality—is the openness she radiates wherever she goes. An uncynical desire to try things, to perform, to fling herself out into the world. And, of course, her exuberant embrace of fashion is why she’s on the cover of this Best Dressed issue. Fanning has worn princess ball gowns (which she will also sport in Maleficent Mistress of Evil,…

I wanted Dixie to have a big-girl room,” says model Lily Aldridge about her motivation to revamp her 7-year-old daughter’s bedroom. “I wanted something she could grow into but also be excited about now.” Aldridge, who had her son, Winston, this past January, worked with Restoration Hardware’s design team to update both of her kids’ bedrooms at their Tennessee farmhouse. But for her daughter’s space, Aldridge tapped into her own childhood for inspiration. “I love Dixie’s bed. I had a similar one when I was a kid, and I used to swing from the top. It’s a great memory for me, and I love that she gets to create her own memories in her new room. I also always wanted a pinboard, so I’m living vicariously through her now,” she…
