Storm Reid Says This Warm Vanilla Fragrance Is Her Signature Summer Scent
Our series The One Thing is a Sparknotes version of the products, rituals, and moments your favorite celebrities and influencers swear by—their go-tos, must-haves, and can't-live-withouts. So go ahead—take a brief, intimate peek into the lives of your favorites through the things (and people, and moments) they hold time I interview Storm Reid, she's accumulated a new batch of accomplishments for us to discuss. Last year, we excitedly chatted about her taking home a Primetime Emmy Award for her work on The Last of Us and wrapping up her junior year at the University of Southern California. This year, when we hopped on Zoom at the end of May, I couldn't wait to talk to the actress about the latest happenings in her life: graduating from college and becoming a fragrance ambassador for Coach. As a self-proclaimed fragrance girl, the latter achievement is a post-graduation career move that Reid is relishing. "Coach has been a part of my life forever," she tells me. "I remember having Coach shoes and little bags growing up. So when this opportunity came about, it was an easy 'yes.' I love fragrance—one of my favorite compliments is 'You smell good'—so this partnership aligned with me perfectly." Reid's first order of business in her new role? Fronting the campaign for Coach's latest women's fragrance, Coach Gold—a bold scent featuring warm vanilla, almond blossom accord, and fruity notes. Ahead, Reid takes us through her first impressions of Coach Gold, her fragrance wardrobe through the years, and what she's currently working on in Hollywood. "I don't know if they still make it, but the Juicy Couture fragrance in the pink bottle with gold detailing was one of my first perfumes. I'm not even sure if it was bought for me or if I took it from one of my sisters. I also loved going to Bath & Body Works for their body sprays. I've always been a scent girl and have just always wanted to smell good." "Fragrance reflects how I'm feeling or how I want to take up space that day. I used to lean toward scents that were very strong and youthful. Nowadays, I prefer a clean scent and like vanilla notes. That's why I love Coach Gold. It's everything I want in a perfume: not overpowering, but long-lasting and comforting." "When Coach introduced me to the fragrance, I was obsessed. The bottle is beautiful, and it has these warm vanilla notes—it's summery and sexy." "I wore a beautiful gold dress and jacket in the campaign imagery. But if I had to style another look, I'd go with chunky gold jewelry, a crisp white tee, a black skirt with a black and gold belt, and some fire gold heels. And of course, a gold Coach purse." "Aquaphor is a must. I'm a lip gloss girl, and sometimes I'm carrying around like seven lip glosses at once, but sometimes you need a break and just want to moisturize your lips. I also keep hand lotion in my bag—dry hands in the summer are not the vibe." "I've gone through so many feelings—pride and excitement, of course, but I'm also a little terrified. I've felt like an adult for the last couple of years, but now I'm officially in the real world. But I'm taking it one day at a time. After graduation, I went to Vegas with friends and took a trip to Cabo with my mom. I'm soaking in all the good moments." "I'll be in New York in June to launch Coach Gold. It makes so much sense to do the launch there—the fragrance embodies what summer in New York feels like. After that, I'm going on my grad trip to Greece and a few other places in Europe for about two weeks. When I come back, it's time to get back to work." "My mom and I are building out projects through our production company, A Seed & Wings. Some things are moving toward production, which is exciting. I also just found out about another amazing project I'll be working on soon. I can't say much yet, but I'm excited to get back on set. That's where I feel most inspired and re-ignited."

Michelle Obama posts rare photo of youngest daughter Sasha for 24th birthday
Michelle Obama posts rare photo of youngest daughter Sasha for 24th birthday Show Caption Hide Caption Malia Obama's stage name The oldest daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama is now officially going by the name Malia Ann. unbranded - Entertainment Michelle Obama is sharing a rare photo of youngest daughter Sasha Obama for her 24th birthday. The "IMO" podcast host posted the snap of the University of Southern California alum, who celebrates her big day on Tuesday, June 10. "Happy birthday to my sweet girl, Sasha! Can't believe how quickly time has flown. I'm so proud of the woman you've become. Love you always! 💕🥳🎉," the former first lady captioned the photo. The "Becoming" author's post was echoed by separate Instagram birthday wishes from former President Barack Obama, who wrote "Happy birthday, Sasha!" "Watching you grow into the incredible woman you are has been a true gift. I'll always be proud of you and will always be here for you," he added. The Obamas are also parents to older daughter and filmmaker Malia Ann, who is 26. Michelle Obama reveals daughter Malia Obama's name change In the "Becoming" on Netflix star's post, Sasha is wedged between her parents as the family of four posed in casual outfits. Michelle Obama daughter Malia changes name Last week, the forthcoming "Look" book author broke her silence on the eldest daughter's decision to drop her last name. Malia Ann, who is pursuing a film career in Hollywood, used her middle name as her artistic name for the credits of the 2023 short film "The Heart" which she wrote and directed. The former first lady spoke publicly about the change during a Wednesday, June 4, appearance on the "Sibling Revelry" podcast cohosted by Oliver and Kate Hudson. "Our daughters (Malia and Sasha) are 25 and 23. They are young adult women, but they definitely went through a period in their teen years where it was the push away. … They're still doing that," Obama told the Hudson siblings, noting that "you guys know this as the children of parents who are known." She added that "it is very important for my kids to feel like they've earned what they are getting in the world, and they don't want people to assume that they don't work hard, that they're just naturally, just handed things," telling the Hudsons and her own brother Craig Robinson that "they're very sensitive to that – they want to be their own people." Obama continued by quipping that "our daughters didn't want to be little princesses in the White House." "They wanted to push the envelope; they needed some rope. They wanted to try some things, they wanted to be out in the world, and I knew that under the circumstances, they needed more rope than I probably would've given them if I were my mom," Obama said.
