Y’all mind if A$AP Rocky gets a little whimsical at the WSJ Innovator Awards?Last night, the rapper joined Dua Lipa to introduce one of the night’s honorees, Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy—or, as he put it in his remarks, “the man who made this fly-ass suit that I’ve got on right now.” It was no great shock to anybody that the Chanel ambassador wore Chanel (in this case, a sharp black suit with gold buttons), but Rocky’s statement accessory was a welcome dose of surprise and delight.A$AP Rocky shows off his Chanel acorn bag.

For her wedding dress, the bride knew she wanted to wear “something very delicate, almost sheer” in lace. “Building the dress with my mother-in-law was really fun—she understood the vision immediately,” describes Fernanda. “My mom came to a few fittings and was constantly nervous the dress was too sheer, but my mother-in-law and I knew exactly what we were going for. She very delicately layered lace patterns throughout the dress, creating an almost cloud-like effect at the bottom with a sheer-like quality over the legs.”To accessorize, Fernanda wore her mother’s diamond earrings and necklace as a “something borrowed.” Once the…

For spring 2027, Nkwo Onwuka drew inspiration from her nephew’s 40-day road trip from Amsterdam across 13 countries to her village in Southeastern Nigeria.The collection, titled Journey to Less, “is all about systems,” said Onwuka. Her goal is to create sustainable solutions that reduce waste and shift our relationship with upcycled fashion, whether it’s a system that allows people to turn their unwanted garments into new designs and silhouettes, or an institution that allows for innovations such as reengineering denim to resemble knitwear. She calls it: “Reverse retail. You send your old things to us and we make it into…

Hayley Williams is living proof a natural hair journey doesn’t have to be boring.Backstage of her sold-out Hollywood Bowl concert—to be more specific, her second sold out night at the iconic amphitheater—the 37-year-old rockstar sits knees up in her makeup chair as her longtime hairstylist and Good Dye Young co-founder Brian O’Connor applies four Rhode eye patches to her bare face. She’s mid-way through her solo world tour, The Hayley Williams Show, and is ready to strip everything back.“I am ready for live shows to feel not that different than going to the studio and jamming with my friends; I…

I was 11 years old when I first experienced hives. My friends started noticing tiny lumps on my skin and jokingly nicknamed them “Coleys” in reference to my last name. It took about six weeks for my parents to realize that they weren’t going away, and that this was something a doctor needed to see.I was kept in a separate waiting area in case I was contagious. The doctors had no idea at the time what was fueling my hives. I was told I could be allergic to dairy and had to avoid it. After about four months of testing,…

Yoonchae—member of the beloved girl group Katseye—knows the importance of skincare. And it isn’t just because she grew up in K-Beauty mecca Seoul. “I’m more into a three-step beauty routine than ten,” she says. “I have very sensitive skin that breaks out easily.”Not ideal for somebody whose full time gig includes rigorous dancing and getting ultra-glammed for events like Fashion Week and the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. But that’s where her new partnership with Dr. Jart—and her curated Glass Skin edit—comes into the equation. “I realized when I would use the face mask, my skin would be calm the next…

The culture shifted somewhat in the 1970s, when the introduction of mariachi programs in U.S. public schools, particularly in California and Texas, gave girls new opportunities to learn and perform. Even so, skilled female musicians often found themselves competing for just one or two coveted spots in an otherwise male lineup.For many families, mariachi is the soundtrack to life’s milestones, from baby showers and communions to weddings and funerals. At 13, Marín found her calling at a family party. “A few days before the party, I said to my mom, I feel that something in my life is missing. So,…

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat’s the best type of razor for a close shave?While different razors offer different means of removing hair, there are some basics every model shares. “The leading edge [of the razor] is designed to gently stretch the skin taut prior to the blade’s arrival,” explains Erum Ilyas, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. It helps to have a razor edge that uniformly stretches the surface flat to allow the blade to come through with minimal nicks, she says.As for blades, razors can come in single- or multiple-blade formats and can be spaced differently, but “multiple…

“Where’d you get that?” For fashion people, there’s perhaps no better compliment than being asked this question. Maybe you’re quick to share a ShopMy link to your latest purchase, hoping to score some commission. But if your answer is “It’s vintage,” that’s an entirely different level of cool. After all, there’s something special about owning a one-of-a-kind piece you can’t find with Google Lens. However, sourcing said treasures requires a willingness to hunt — and a bit of insider knowledge. As for the latter, there are a handful of IYKYK vintage resellers that the industry’s chicest dressers keep coming back…
