Dakota Fanning Took a Risk While Getting Ready for the Chanel Show
A more out-there ensemble than the The Perfect Couple actress usually goes for, Fanning explains,'I wanted to do something to push it a little bit. You're at Paris Fashion Week, you're at the Chanel show, so you can take a little bit of a risk and do something a little different than you would normally.'
The suit, a golden crumpled leather jacket with floral detailing on the pockets and matching pants, was from the Métiers d'art 2024/25 collection. Fanning added a metal and strass belt with bow details and accessorized with 18k yellow gold Coco Crush earrings, gold platform heels with a black cap toe (some of the most comfortable shoes she can recall wearing, despite the height of the heel), and a Chanel bag. 'The suit was a little bit of a moment and on the louder side, so I just kept my hair and makeup very clean and simple and easy,' she adds.
Fanning was joined in Paris by her best friend, and the show was the high point of their trip. 'I can't stop talking about the bags that are shaped like the bows and different fabrics and materials and sizes. I'm obsessed with that,' she says. 'It was very classic Chanel, but very playful. I'm such a girly girl at heart. My soul is very feminine.'

Jessica Alba Gives Monochrome a Fresh Edge with Willy Chavarria Design on ‘CBS Mornings'
Jessica Alba opted for a look courtesy of designer Willy Chavarria for her attire while attending a taping of 'CBS Mornings' on Monday in New York City to promote the forthcoming third season of her Roku series 'Honest Renovations.' Alba's look came courtesy of the eponymous designer's spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection, which debuted as part of Paris Fashion Week in June. The blue ensemble featured a wholly monochrome look, with elbow-length short sleeves, buttons down the front placket and a sharp collar with two breast pockets as well.

Alba coordinated the look with a matching clutch in a similar fabric and shade of blue. Alba completed the look with pointed-toe white pumps and accessorized with statement earrings. She also wore black sunglasses. Alba regularly collaborates with stylist Ariella Masjedi. Chavarria, who launched his eponymous label in 2015, celebrated his 10th anniversary with his spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection. The curation of pieces, called 'Huron' as an homage to the rural town in California's San Joaquin Valley where Chavarria was born, featured bursts of color and included menswear as well as womenswear. 'Chavarria flashed his showman's side with a collection that was bursting with color inspired by the images of Guy Bourdin, whose photography he's been thinking a lot about lately,' Samantha Conti wrote in WWD's review of the collection. 'My head of design, Rebeca Mendoza, is helping me define womenswear, and making sure that it always comes from a female perspective, because that's important,' Chavarria said, per Conti's review. Known primarily for his menswear designs, Chavarria's spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection featured models 'sporting delightfully bourgeois bouffant hairstyles, and wide-brimmed hats, some adorned with silk roses,' Conti wrote, adding the showcase included 'curvy shirtdresses with pointy collars, structured satin trenches and jackets with puffed-up power shoulders.'

8 beauty lessons Nicole Kidman has taught us – from embracing natural curls to simple skincare
From Nine Perfect Strangers to The Perfect Couple and, of course, Babygirl, Nicole Kidman is having somewhat of an onscreen renaissance of late. But the actress has been on screen for decades, starring in legendary movies like Practical Magic and Moulin Rouge. Across her decades-long career, Nicole has captured the world's attention on countless red carpets and magazine covers, and her time in the spotlight has taught us some very valuable beauty lessons. So, what can we learn from Nicole Kidman when it comes to beauty? Nicole undeniably has some of the most famous curls in Hollywood and, although she's been known to wear wigs in a lot of her recent roles, the actress shows off her natural hair from time to time. Take this Instagram post, for example, in which she confidently rocks her naturally voluminous 'do in slide five of the 16-part carousel. Speaking about her natural curls in a video for Allure in May 2025, Nicole reflected on previously straightening her hair and how she now regrets not embracing it. "Why did I straighten my hair?" she asked while looking at old photographs. "I loved my hair there. That is my natural hair." "For all the little girls out there, embrace the curl. Do not follow in my steps and straighten your hair," she advised, before revealing that it's no longer as easy for her to achieve those eye-catching curls. "I can do that to my hair still, but it needs to be kind of humid, and I need to use the right product." By now, we should all know that SPF is the single most important thing you can do to protect your skin. Like, seriously, if there's one skincare step not to skip, it's this one. If you're not convinced (*shudder*) then perhaps Nicole's endorsement of SPF will help. In an interview with British Vogue, the actress revealed her 'skincare trifecta' includes SPF, oils, and red light therapy. Notice how SPF is first on that list?? Using SPF is particularly important for Nicole, growing up in her native Australia as someone with a fair complexion. "We're a beach culture and for a girl with a really fair complexion, sun protection had to be part of my life from the very beginning," she told the magazine. Recalling how she once had to plaster her skin in high-coverage zinc, Nicole said she's pleased there's now so much variety on the market when it comes to SPF, meaning she can spend more time in the sun. "I'm so grateful that there are protective creams you can wear that you can't see and have different choices of coverage," she revealed. "It's just nice to be able to stay outside." As for her go-to? Nicole's SPF essential is Clé de Peau Beauté's UV Protective Cream SPF 50. When she's not embracing her trademark curls, Nicole isn't afraid to try new things when it comes to her hair. Yep, she's undergone a fair few hair transformations in her time, and none were more of an overhaul than her Met Gala 2025 pixie cut. Following in the footsteps of Emma Stone, Zendaya, and Zoe Kravitz, the Big Little Lies star strolled the steps of the Met with a pixie cut earlier this year. "As you know, I love changing my hair," she said at the time (per HELLO!), with her hairstylist explaining the look tied into the theme of the event, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. "The inspiration was a tailored short cut that brought out the essence of Dandyism on Nicole," Adir Abergel wrote on Instagram of the look. "I wanted to celebrate this year's theme by honoring the Dandies and their individuality, elegance, and confidence – where every detail is tailored to that unique person." As well as using oil in her daily skincare routine, Nicole is also a fan of working oils into her beauty regime elsewhere. "I take hot baths with lots of oil," she previously told Allure. "I love oil, and I love bathing in it." Nicole said it herself, she loves to change her hair. It's no wonder then, that we've seen so many different styles on the star over the years. Just days after debuting her Met Gala pixie cut (which she revealed to be a wig, after numerous fan queries about whether she'd really gone for the chop), Nicole stepped onto the red carpet of the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards with some of her lengthiest locks to date. Trading in the sweeping side fringe and blunt ends of the pixie, Nicole transformed her look with long, sleek, straight strands that framed her face with a middle part. The hairstyle gave her look a totally different vibe and proved once again that Nicole's versatility knows no bounds. No, this isn't a spin-off to Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer's iconic house-hunting TV series, it's Nicole's motto for all things beauty... which she stole from her husband, Keith Urban. "What my husband taught me is water, water, water," she previously told Allure. "We drink so much water. I didn't realise how important it was to hydrate and flush out." She went on: "Because he's a singer, that's part of his routine. They know that they have to drink and that it helps the chords, but it also helps the skin, it helps all the organs. It keeps you healthy." Tired of starting every morning (and ending every night) with a 10-step skincare routine? Take a leaf out of Nicole's book and trim down your skincare routine to the essentials. Revealing her nighttime skincare routine to Harper's Bazaar, Nicole started off with a gentle cleanser to remove her makeup followed by a CBD facial oil to "help with inflammation". And that's it. Literally. "I'm just very much about less is more," she said of her very simple skincare routine. "Also, having kids, I can't be bothered," the mum-of-four added. That being said, Nicole explained she loves to exfoliate when she "gets the chance" because her husband's beard growth "stresses" her skin, causing dry patches on her chin. In the same bedtime prep clip for Harper's Bazaar, Nicole revealed that her skincare routine extends all the way down to her toes – which makes sense, considering how often she has her feet on display while walking all those glamorous red carpet events. "I put on this beautiful heel soufflé," she said, "because my feet get really dry." We're taking notes...

Venus Williams, Irina Shayk, Tilda Swinton grace star-studded 2026 Perelli calendar
Tennis star Venus Williams, singer FKA Twigs, supermodel Irina Shayk, "Game of Thrones" actress Gwendoline Christie and Oscar winner Tilda Swinton are among the stars featured in Pirelli's 2026 calendar. The photographer for the 52nd edition of the calendar – known as The Cal – is London-based creative Sølve Sundsbø and photos were taken in England's Norfolk and Essex as well as New York City. In behind-the-scenes images that offer a preview of the star-studded spread, the forthcoming Cal models pose artistically among backgrounds that blend aquatics, the floral world and sky. The full slate of images are set to be released later this year. "For the 2026 Calendar, I want to capture emotions, instincts and states of mind that's central to human life so: longing for freedom, curiosity, thirst of knowledge, I guess you can call it," Sundsbø said in a press release. "Some kind of mystery, imagination, passions, the desire for emancipation, the connection with nature and our relationship with time and space." Padma Lakshmi, John Boyega, Hunter Schafer star in Pirelli's 2025 calendar: See the photos Other calendar stars in the 2026 edition include '90s supermodel Eva Herzigová, ex-Vampire's Wife designer Susie Cave, "Blink Twice" star Adria Arjona, groundbreaking model Du Juan, Italian actress Luisa Ranieri and Oscar nominee Isabella Rossellini who recently starred in "Conclave." Former "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi, "Queen & Slim" leading lady Jodie Turner-Smith, "Bridgerton" star Simone Ashley, "Star Wars" actor John Boyega and "Euphoria" breakout talent Hunter Schafer appeared in last year's calendar. Idris Elba, Bella and Gigi Hadid, Kristen Stewart, Rosalía, Emma Watson, Cher and Iggy Pop are among other famous faces who appeared on The Cal in recent years. The Cal "was born as an exclusive project" of the group's British subsidiary as they sought a marketing strategy to differentiate the brand from its competition in 1964, according to the company. The calendar was conceptualized as a gift to the tire maker's clients. The Cal's six-decade history features defining moments including noted British fashion photographer Terence Donovan photographing only Black models, including then-teen talent Naomi Campbell before she became a modeling superstar, in 1987. Former Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld – who died in 2019 – helmed the 2011 calendar and legendary portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz was behind the lens of the 2000 and 2016 editions. Per Perelli, the calendar aims to "mark the passing of time with images by the most highly acclaimed photographers of the moment – capturing and interpreting contemporary culture and often anticipating new trends."
