Uma Thurman Gave the Canadian Tuxedo a Surprising Twist
The trick to making it not your dad's Canadian tuxedo? Swap the separates for a wide-legged jumpsuit. Underneath, Thurman sported an ivory silk charmeuse long-sleeve collared shirt. Both the blouse and the darker wash helped bring the typically casual look from day to night.
'Uma is a longtime friend and a true force—she brings such elegance, intelligence, and magnetism to everything she does,' Posen says in a press release. 'I wanted this custom indigo denim look to feel effortless but powerful, just like her. It's all about precision, ease and that undeniable Uma presence.'
Gap is in the midst of a quiet renaissance. Since Posen's appointment in February 2024, an unmistakable It factor has crept back into the household brand. Red carpet moments have played a key role in establishing its evolving house codes under his direction.
'Each one has been a powerful way to express GapStudio's creative potential,' Posen told ELLE earlier this month. 'Red carpet dressing is a kind of high-frequency communication—it lets us amplify the brand codes through an artistic lens.' From Laura Harrier's three-piece suit at the 2025 Met Gala to Anne Hathaway's shoppable shirtdress—and now Thurman's denim jumpsuit—Posen has seamlessly blended Gap's sensibilities with his own relatable allure.

Chappell Roan's hit song 'The Subway' has sparked a tourism boom in Saskatchewan
A frequently overlooked Canadian province is seeing a surge in tourism interest thanks to America's favorite Midwest Princess. Chappell Roan, the pop star known for her drag queen-inspired aesthetic, referenced Saskatchewan — known for its sunsets and wheat production — in her latest hit single, "The Subway." On the track, she vows to move to the prairie province in central Canada if she can't get over her heartbreak in New York City. After Roan released the song and the subsequent music video on July 31, not only did Saskatchewan see its first spike in the US Google Trends in two years, but the province's tourism board has since seen around 50,000 interactions with its social media accounts and webpage. "We don't normally get this kind of publicity from an artist that's at the peak of their popularity," Jonathan Potts, CEO of Tourism Saskatchewan, told Business Insider. "This is like a gift from heaven." Potts said that in any given year, about 10% of the province's visitors come from the US, mostly for opportunities to fish, hunt, and stargaze, thanks to the rising demand in astrotourism. "I can see why we could be a cure for heartbreak," Potts added. "We only have a population of around 1.2 million people, we have sunshine and plenty of wide open space, and we have the darkest sky preserve just across the Montana border, free from any sound and light pollution." It's certainly not the first time a pop culture reference has put a tourism destination on the map. Montana and Wyoming experienced a surge in tourism thanks to the popularity of the TV show "Yellowstone," while HBO's " Game of Thrones" caused a tourism boost in Northern Ireland and Croatia, with fans visiting filming locations. Amir Eylon, president and CEO of Longwoods International, a market research consultancy specializing in the travel tourism industry, said music references can have the same effect. "Travel is an emotional thing," Eylon said, adding that if fans "feel a connection to that song or that piece of art, they're going to want to explore that place and see if they can feel that same connection within the destination." Saskatchewan embraces itself as a cure for heartbreak The sudden interest in Saskatchewan comes at a time when the relationship between the US and Canada is strained by the Trump administration's tariffs and the president's repeated comments about making the US'snorthern neighbor the 51st state of the US. Since March, Canadians have boycotted US-made products and canceled trips to the States in favor of Central American and European destinations. According to Statistics Canada, return flights of Canadian residents from the US saw a 22% decline year-over-year in June, while resident return trips by automobile from the US also fell by 33% in the same month. The decline doesn't seem to be caused by a lack of interest in traveling. In June, Statistics Canada, the national statistical office of Canada, reported a 7% increase in international travel compared to the same month in 2024. If you are an American in need of a cure for heartbreak, or just someone living in Montana and North Dakota seeking a quick escape, Saskatchewan welcomes everyone with open arms, Potts said. Tourism Saskatchewan's page now has a list of travel recommendations based on Chappell Roan songs, ranging from the cheerleader-vibe "HOT TO GO!" for the Mosaic Stadium, to "Red Wine Supernova" for Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, where you are guaranteed a sky full of stars. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saskatchewan (@tourismsask) Eylon said Saskatchewan was smart to capitalize on the moment, calling it a "fun, unique opportunity" to introduce the destination to Americans who may not be familiar with the province. "Travel is transformational," he said. "Showing that Saskatchewan can be a transformational destination for those who are seeking change could be a great vein to tap into with their marketing." If you are visiting Saskatchewan, whether you are a fan of Roan or not, Potts offers the biggest travel tip: dress appropriately for the season. "We're warm, welcoming people, and we are a very diverse place, with very clear seasons," said Potts. "From the biggest skies to the largest collection of Picasso linocuts, we will help you find something fantastic to do." Fans online also drew a connection between Roan's breakout 2023 album, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," to Saskatchewan's similarities with the American Midwest. Apparently, "Midwest Princesses know no borders," as one comment on a Tourism Saskatchewan post read.

Outside Lands attendees are splurging $90 for Gap's ‘Hoodie House.' Here's why
Throngs of Outside Lands attendees took a break from the festival's main attractions to queue up for one of the festival's priciest pop-ups. Dozens formed a line that snaked across a portion of Golden Gate Park's Polo Field on Saturday, Aug. 9, waiting patiently for San Francisco-headquartered clothing brand Gap 's Hoodie House. Once inside the tent, guests are allowed to pick from a variety of exclusive patches, studs, pearls and other embellishments to decorate their hoodie. 'I want more personalized merch to remember this experience rather than the traditional merch that will probably honestly end up on Depop,' said Los Angeles resident Jillian Butler, referring to the popular online resale platform. 'This is our big purchase.' Butler, 24, said that her hour-long wait was well worth the experience. Plus, the fact that Vallejo native LaRussell was performing at the nearby Lands End main stage certainly helped pass the time. Gap joined forces with San Francisco nonprofit Holy Stitch! to bring its hoodie customization experience to the festival. After filling out a brief form with their preferences for their hoodie, festivalgoers can hang out in the space — decked out with comfy, minimalist furniture — or return later to pick up their unique design. 'Our creative intent is people feeling like they can make a one of one, and that they are a one of one,' Dushane Ramsay, Gap's director of brand marketing strategy, told the Chronicle while helping guide guests through the experience. 'That's our brand purpose and that's what inspired the customization element.' San Diego resident Alysse Ohanian, like Butler, was eager to splurge on the unique item. The 24-year-old purchased her hoodie on Saturday morning with the intent of avoiding long lines when she returned in the afternoon to customize it. Ohanian ended up waiting more than an hour to do so. 'I'm shocked. I didn't think it would be that popular,' she said. 'But I'm looking around and the lines are very scary.' Ohanian added that the sentimentality of customizing the item is what made the $90 price tag worth it. 'It's like whenever I wear it I can think of Outside Lands 2025,' she said. Zac Posen, the brand's executive vice president and creative director, even stopped by the activation, spending time meeting fans and working on a piece of his own. 'We're trying to tell the story of where Gap was born,' Ramsay said. 'Those two things are San Francisco … and then music: our first store sold Levi's and records.' He noted that Outside Lands presented the 'perfect opportunity' to meld those to components. 'It also helps that it's a little bit cold,' the 40-year-old New York resident added, referring to Saturday's chilly summertime weather. As of that afternoon, Ramsay estimated that they've sold hoodies to roughly 400 festivalgoers. He added that three times as many stopped by the Gap tent just to check out the space, which has been adorned with couches for that very reason. The pop-up is scheduled to remain open through the rest of the festival, which wraps up on Sunday, Aug. 10, with headliner Hozier.
