At Waly Fay, a West African bistro in the 11th arrondissement dating back to the early aughts, I had one of the most delightful lunches in recent memory. An open kitchen is the heart of the spacious dining room, with exposed brick walls, vintage Gispen chairs, and industrial tables set with wax paper.It’s tricky to choose what to order from the expansive menu, a collaboration between Cameroonian chef Jeannie Tientcheu and Senegalese chef Dalla Sankare. Starters include golden cod fritters and Ivorian alloco, or fried plantains, an excellent sucre-salé way to start a meal. For mains, you’ll find Nigerian jumbo…
Ponytails are a completely underrated hairstyle — they’re wearable and super versatile. They can be sleek and polished for a more glam look, high and bouncy for a sporty style, or tousled and casual for an effortless finish. Best of all, anyone can wear a pony, no matter their hair type or length. (Yes, even those with a bob can get in on the action.)And it doesn’t have to be bland and boring, either. With a little creativity — whether it’s a braid, a twist, or a fun hair accessory — you can take your ponytail up a notch, creating…
We live in a time that’s steeped in nostalgia for the ‘90s. And although it’s life’s cyclical nature for us to embrace a new bygone era every few years, there’s just something about that decade that always hits — particularly in terms of fashion. That’s in no small part thanks to the ‘90s supermodels, whose moments on and off the runway set trends and brought couture to life in a way that sometimes feels like a lost art. In fact, a modern-day appearance from OGs like Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Tyra Banks still generates a…
If you want to do a little girl math this holiday weekend, maybe you could pull the trigger on that designer look you’ve been eyeing—or pluck out some seasons-old couture from your own closet— and, voila!, you’ve got yourself an impractical yet fabulous Halloween costume. To wit: a white gown from Wiederhoft or Simone Rocha could instantly transform you into a bride on October 31st, while Jonathan Anderson’s fall 2026 menswear show will help you channel your inner rock star.For those celebrating All Hallow’s Eve at Madison Square Garden, a Harry Styles costume topped off with a pair of colorful…
Before it was an Oscar-nominated drama starring Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, and Jack Nicholson, A Few Good Men premiered on Broadway in 1989, helping to launch the career of its playwright, a 20-something Aaron Sorkin, into the stratosphere. Now, nearly four decades later, the work has returned to the Main Stem, directed by six-time Tony Award winner Michael Arden.The work—a thrilling study of military honor, institutional might, and a dauntless pursuit of the truth—is now brought to life by Tom Blyth, who makes his Broadway debut as Daniel Kaffee, the brash Navy lawyer portrayed by Cruise onscreen. Initially…
Following the lead of stars like Daisy Edgar-Jones, Zendaya, and Margot Robbie, Elle Fanning has officially entered the method dressing chat. The actor has been one to watch on the red carpet for some time, but her latest role just might be inspiring her most memorable fashion moments yet. It’s only the beginning for The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping press looks, but Elle Fanning has already proven she’s not messing around when it comes to her Effie Trinket-coded couture. Kicking off the tour on Wednesday, Oct. 28, Fanning appeared for a London event in a custom Vivienne Westwood…
As we move into the cooler months, warmer, richer hair colors often make their routine entrance. These shades feel all warm and cozy like they’re making up for the biting breeze. This season, though, Serena Williams is embracing the temperature drop with an icy platinum-blonde color paired against minimal brown roots—and the switch up matches the season’s chilly energy.Getty ImagesWilliams wore the frosty hue to the first-annual AirBnb Gala on October 28th in Los-Angeles, (if you’re wondering why AirBnb threw a black tie gala, as we were, it was for the company’s nonprofit arm) and saw attendees from Charlize Theron…
For example, for blue eyes look to “bronze, copper, warm browns, terracotta, and soft oranges,” says Micol. For green eyes, consider “plum, burgundy, maroon, wine, and deep purple tones.” Hazel eyes look great with “olive green, plum, magenta, and rich purples to emphasise their different flecks of color,” while for brown eyes, “royal blue, navy, sapphire, cool-toned purples, and icy metallics create beautiful contrast.”“It’s less about following one specific makeup look and more about strategically choosing colors that enhance your eyes,” Micol says.As for how to wear your chosen shade, “soft, cozy textures and blurred cream eyeshadows that melt into…
Next, dancers-turned-emcees James Whiteside and Thomas Forster, sporting impish horns and a divine halo, respectively, with their tuxedos, took the stage to guide the audience through a program of enchanted forests and haunted dreams. The pair sprinkled humor and ballet trivia throughout the evening’s nine classical selections, all loosely tied to the fantastical theme. “We have spirits, fairies, sorcerers, and swan women,” said Whiteside. “So, a totally normal night at ABT,” quipped Forster.The program opened with Daniel Camargo in the company premiere of Frederick Ashton’s Dance of the Blessed Spirits, a haunting solo depicting Orpheus yearning for his lost Eurydice.…
Change is both exciting and scary. My reluctance about this computer conversion goes beyond having to learn new shortcuts. It seems to me now that what is intuitive to Mac users isn’t to me.Functionality is one thing; computer choice has been linked to personality types since a series of brilliant Apple “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” commercials ran in the ’00s. They starred cool dude Jason Long as a Mac and the more formal John Hodgman as a PC. I have always been resistant to this dichotomy (although as one commenter observed, the opposite types were also friends). It’s…
