  What’s your prediction for 2021? Personally, I am really into way more funky things. For 2021, I am thinking flower power, psychedelia, a sense of extravagance but with a casual angle. We will for sure continue to sell minimalistic designs, but I think there will be a shift towards something personal, less tonally neutral, and uplifting. Flares, plaids, flowers: a call for hope and peace and love! Vogue: Which pieces were your customers particularly responding to in 2020? Sasha Skoda: Our biggest takeaway about the  Best Papa By Par Funny Golf Vintage T-Shirt  In addition,I will do this year was the shift to what we call investment pieces, selling at above $1,000. Handbags and fine jewelry really took off and continue to do so. The sales of Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, and Hermès skyrocketed; their resale prices have increased by hundreds of dollars. For Birkins and Kellys the increase has been tremendous. With Vuitton, it’s all about the classic monogram bags and the...

  The Daily Telegraph’s Allison Pearson, meanwhile, dubbed the interview “a devastating act of lèse-majesté.” “I’m sure that this profoundly polarizing interview will be a big hit with Americans and with the younger generation which sees ‘speaking my truth’ as fabulous personal empowerment,” she wrote. “Older British viewers may find their toes curling. And their lips.” That’s a really loaded piece of toast, as Oprah might say (and did, to my absolute delight). Perhaps these are the same aging Britons who inflicted Brexit on younger and future generations, clinging to the myth of Britain as a doughty island nation with an empire and an unshakeable royal family. Anyway, don’t get me started. Let’s get back to Meghan’s frocks! There was a time in the living memory of Britain’s monarch when the greatest threat to the crown was seen to be embodied in the trim person of Wallis Warfield Simpson, another American divorcée with a complicated back story and fastidious taste. She and the Duk...

  The term viral is used too loosely these days, but it’s an apt description for Hill House Home’s Nap Dress. Nell Diamond, the brand’s founder, added the cheekily named frock to her assortment of bed linens and towels last year. But when the pandemic forced us inside, the concept—a dress you wear to take a nap or just to hang around the house—felt prescient. They became Instagram trophy pieces, partly thanks to their friendly prices—the dress starts at $125—and partly because of their influencer fans. When Diamond restocked her Nap Dress (which now comes in a range of prints, colors, and silhouettes) in late October, she sold $1 million within hours. We’ve learned to expect great fashion choices from former first lady Michelle Obama, and this year was no different. At the virtual Democratic National Convention, she paired a chocolate brown top by Nanushka (a Gen Z favorite) with a delicate gold necklace spelling out a single word: vote. It was designed by Chari Cuthbert, a Jamaica...

  A final touch comes courtesy of Tata Harper’s Illuminating Eye Creme, which affords her natural look a touch of shimmer. “I feel like the light bounces off and takes away a little bit of the dark circle without makeup,” says Yeramyan. “And I love sparkly stuff.” As with her eponymous lingerie line, Yeramyan is all about beauty that’s barely but beautifully there. “I learned about it on set with a makeup artist who makes it in small batches, and it’s all wildcrafted with foraged materials and ingredients,” says Yeramyan. “She puts it together herself, mixes it, bottles it. I use it morning and night.” A second secret to Yeramyan’s complexion lies in a longtime love affair with the Diamond Glycolic Extreme Peel from Natura Bissé, which she follows with the brand’s Oxygen Complex and has been using since her early 20s. “I’ll do it for six weeks in a row, and then I’ll pause for like, six months, and then do it for another six weeks,” says Yeramyan of her at-home facial. https://vinh...

  In 2003, there was apparently no bigger story in the world than the status of Spears’s virginity, and the “journalists” of the era seemed to feel inherently comfortable interrogating her about it. Long before she was famous or even in her teen years, TV hosts asked Spears if she had a boyfriend; later, speculation ran amok over whether she had indeed slept with then beau Justin Timberlake, with Timberlake now facing backlash for sneeringly confirming that the two were sexually active. It was—to say the least—a major surprise when I found myself wiping away tears halfway into the film. What I’d expected to be a typically salacious depiction of a teen celebrity’s youthful indiscretions turned out to be a deep and searching exploration of what it means to be internationally famous before you’re legally able to vote. More than that, though, Framing Britney Spears functions as a kind of time capsule of all the casual sexism that we, as a society, thought it was perfectly okay to hurl ...

  Made locally in Los Angeles, the solid brass, sculptural golden bauble features a flat plane canvas with two wells for housing nail polish, eyelash glue, or various eye and lip pigments based on your beauty needs. “While your hand is on an angle, the grooves serve as a resting place for individual lashes and help slow down any dripping of liquid-based products,” explains Goldstein of the ring’s ergonomic design, which works in tandem with precision brushes, such as her gilded Primero set, to make small, detailed touch-ups a (mess free!) cinch. “The ring’s sidewall is thin enough to catch any product that may drip out of the well, adding extra protection to keep the product off of your hand while moving around.” The shank of the ring is adjustable so that it’s one size that fits most, and artists can change the size as needed to be comfortable in all situations. Another crucial part of the design was using the highest quality brass so that you can effectively use alcohol or aceton...

  Jeremy Renner admires J.Lo’s décolletage When presenting the award for best drama miniseries at the 2015 ceremony, Jennifer Lopez asked copresenter Jeremy Renner who should open the envelope to announce the winner. “You want me to do it?” she asked. “I’ve got the nails.” Renner then took a peek at Lopez’s plunging neckline and quipped, “You’ve got the globes, too.” The audience gasped, but at least J.Lo seemed more flattered than annoyed. The Golden Globes ceremony was cancelled due to a Writers Guild strike in 2008. Jodie Foster’s (sort of) coming out speech The notoriously private Jodie Foster surprised everyone during her acceptance speech for her Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award in 2013 by (maybe) coming out of the closet. During her monologue, the actor deadpanned: “I guess I have a sudden urge to say something that I’ve never really been able to air in public…But I’m just going to put it out there, right? Loud and proud, right? So I’m going to need your support o...
