Jump Start

There’s never been a pop star quite like Tyla. Just a few years ago, the South African singer was a high schooler in Johannesburg with big dreams. She adored the music genres unique to her home country and felt frustrated that they were overlooked around the world. So she did something about it, as writer Alexis Okeowo reports—rocketing to the kind of success that might just make her “a true African pop star with a following that spans much of the world.” Which is precisely what she manifested: “It’s something I always really wanted for myself, and for Africa, and the world. Something different, something original.” For more behind-the-scenes moments with Tyla, go to ELLE.com. Speaking of original: In our fashion pages, Christian MacDonald and ELLE Fashion Director Alex White present…

DEGREE OF EXCELLENCE Noah Almonte, the standout of this year’s Institut Français de la Mode’s Bachelor of Arts show, showed six looks that offered a unique take on Parisian haute couture.

DYNAMIC DUO

On an early spring day in 2018, a casual catch-up between friends blossomed into something far bigger. Silvia Argüello arrived at Constanza Cavalli Etro’s office in Milan fresh off a flight from the Dominican Republic, where she had recently relocated with her husband. Argüello and Cavalli Etro had been friends for years, initially bonding over their shared involvement in the fashion industry. Argüello recalls Cavalli Etro asking what she planned to do next, now that her life had “changed completely” following her nuptials and transatlantic move. “And I was like, ‘That’s exactly what I’m trying to figure out.’ ” Argüello began her design career working for Emanuel Ungaro in Paris during Giambattista Valli’s tenure as creative director in the late ’90s and early 2000s. She eventually moved to Milan and started her…

Scarlet WOMAN

In 2013, I was up for a prestigious literary fellowship and arrived at the committee interview wearing a red dress, a simple A-line shape reimagined in vintage fabric. Facing the conference table of eager eyes waiting for me to justify my candidacy, I admitted how nervous I was, to which the director of programs and events responded, “But you’re the one who decided to wear red!” And she was right. I knew the color would draw attention. I wanted them to remember who had entered the room: a Latina with talent. But was I also leaning in to a well-worn stereotype? To wear red is to be “spicy,” a “hot tamale.” Just ask Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about being shamed for wearing scarlet suits and lipstick. When I was five years old, growing…

THE CULT OF COZY SEASON

Every year when the foliage begins to change, we unlock the coziest versions of ourselves. There’s a collective urge to blast “Red” (Taylor’s Version, of course) and go apple picking. The pocket of time between late September and late November might as well be an unofficial holiday—one that’s sponsored by Nora Ephron movies and chunky sweaters. In short, somewhere along the way, fall became the most hotly anticipated fashion season. One could say the excitement around “Big Autumn” began in the early to mid-2010s at the height of the Instagram era—a time when influencers were capturing aspirational photos. In the years since, we have seen a barrage of memes upselling the sartorial season. Following 2019’s “Hot Girl Summer” craze came “Christian Girl Autumn,” the term coined for influencer Caitlin Covington’s foliage-flanked…

Golden DAYS

Whether you’re a ’90s kid who grew up begging your parents for a Bean necklace or a vintage collector drawn to minimalism, you know the name Elsa Peretti. The Italian-born multihyphenate began her career in fashion as a “Halstonette,” one of the models favored by Halston. (Rebecca Dayan played Peretti in the Netflix series based on the designer’s life.) She then became known as a designer herself—crafting modern, sculptural jewelry that perfectly complemented Halston and Giorgio di Sant’Angelo’s collections. “Peretti was able to create an extraordinary universe of groundbreaking designs that changed the course of Tiffany’s history and continues to resonate to this day.” In 1974, Peretti began her fruitful collaboration with Tiffany & Co., crafting timeless designs including the Bone cuff and Bean necklace. In the era of women’s liberation, her…

SHANGHAI RISING

A year ago, Louis Vuitton wrapped the giant warehouse space housing Fotografiska Shanghai in electric blue. The occasion? “Nóng Hó, Shanghai” (Shanghainese for “Hello, Shanghai”), a four-week cultural festival of book clubs, architecture tours, and live music to promote the maison’s City Guide Series. “Everything was built in 48 hours, whereas in London that would’ve taken weeks,” says Shem Jacobs, a recent transplant to Shanghai and Fotografiska’s director of partnerships, Asia. “The efficiency here is really amazing.” That a luxury brand could transform an entire warehouse in the formerly sleepy Suzhou Creek neighborhood into a branded playground in a matter of days is par for the course in this town. China’s largest and most cosmopolitan city has a reputation for its breakneck pace—neighborhoods that wax and wane in popularity seemingly overnight,…

New Wave

The first fragrance collection from Bottega Veneta under Creative Director Matthieu Blazy is here (BOTTEGA VENETA Eau de Parfum, $450 each, bottegaveneta.com), and you’ve never seen a perfume like this. These unique bottles are meant to recall the rippling and undulating waters of Venice’s Grand Canal and lagoon (if you look closely, you can even see little air bubbles in the glass). Juxtaposing studied imperfection against touches of Venetian architectural grandeur, each perfume comes with a green Verde Saint Denis marble base—because art needs a pedestal. The five scents are sexy, with notes like vetiver and jasmine; Colpo di Sole (Italian for “sunburn”) conjures the heat of the Mediterranean sun, while Déjà Minuit (French for “already midnight”) is inspired by a good time passing far too quickly. PHOTOGRAPHED BY JOE LINGEMAN;…

The Miami Glam Squad

A South Beach date-night sunset inspired Lulu Cordero when she was creating the label of her cult hair care line’s Forbidden Oil. Featuring a bright sun and palm trees, the packaging design, just like Cordero’s decision to keep manufacturing based in South Florida, was highly intentional. “I started Bomba Curls out of my house, using generational recipes passed down from my mother. The community received us with open arms,” says the Afro-Dominican founder. After retailers like Nordstrom picked up the brand, production went from just dozens to up to 15,000 units per month, and Cordero considered moving Bomba Curls for distribution reasons. In the end, she decided to keep it in Miami. “It’s sabor,” she says. In Spanish, sabor translates to “flavor” but can also mean, more metaphorically, the spirit or essence…

AMAZING GRACE

“MY WORK MAKES ME really happy,” says Toks Olagundoye, an acting veteran who plays Olivia Finch on the Paramount+ reboot of Frasier. That’s one reason she stuck with the hit show’s first season despite a shock diagnosis: During the course of preparing for and filming the series, as well as Paramount+’s Fatal Attraction, she underwent chemotherapy and six surgeries to treat breast cancer. Feeling healthy ahead of Frasier’s Season 2 launch on September 19, she talks to ELLE about her healing story. ON EARLY DETECTION “I’ve always had colonoscopies and mammograms early because there’s a lot of cancer in my family. It had been about three years since my last exam; I obviously didn’t get [a mammogram] while pregnant. I originally wasn’t going to get one because I was still breastfeeding. Thank…

Gaining Momentum

Every October, starting from when I was young, I remember clambering into my mother’s Volkswagen in our matching “Race for the Cure” shirts to drive into downtown Denver before the sun rose, the roads still bathed in the tangerine glow of the streetlights. The race bibs we wore always said, “I walk for Wilma Parnell,” my maternal grandmother, who died from breast cancer when my mom was just 11 years old. The fight against breast cancer has come a long way since those early mornings, and now we could be on the verge of multiple breakthroughs. “The good news is that there really isn’t enough time to talk about all of the exciting things that are happening,” says Dorraya El-Ashry, PhD, chief scientific officer for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).…

The Gift of Ketanji Brown Jackson

At the halfway point in her memoir, Lovely One, Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recounts the story of Mrs. Mallard, the mother duck in Robert McCloskey’s picture book Make Way for Ducklings, about a family of mallards living on a lagoon in the Boston Public Garden. The justice isn’t citing McCloskey’s book to wax poetic about the beloved books of her childhood—although this is clearly a cherished one. Instead, she is taking us inside a brain that I’ve learned is at once well-read and enchantingly creative, while at the same time steadfast and sure in its practicality. Weeks later, I will sit across from Justice Brown Jackson and realize I have never been in the presence of this kind of brilliant mind. But for now, I turn the pages slowly,…

The Power of Kindness

LAUREN SÁNCHEZ is taking Spanish lessons, and her kids are learning how to speak the language, too. This is a continued effort from Sánchez to further embrace her Mexican American heritage as she works to increase visibility for Latinas. “It’s important that we use our voices, and demand a seat at the table,” she says. The helicopter pilot, mother, author, philanthropist, and former journalist is also using her voice to bring awareness about separated families at the U.S.-Mexico border and has spent time at crossings with the nonprofit This Is About Humanity. She is also an advocate for new educational programs, like the network of tuition-free preschools she is helping to build in under-resourced communities through the Bezos Academy. Earlier this year, Sánchez, along with fiancé Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and executive…

THE SURREAL LIFE OF TYLA

The night before the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Tyla was unusually calm. The South African singer was about to give a surprise performance at the Prelude to the Olympics, held at the Fondation Louis Vuitton and attended by celebrities from Zendaya to LeBron James. “I was asked to do the event by Pharrell [Williams, Louis Vuitton Men’s creative director], so it was insane—an instant ‘Yes,’ ” she says. “Sometimes I’m nervous, like I’m really nervous.” But this time, Tyla looked forward to the show the entire day. She dressed in an oversize black and yellow jersey from Louis Vuitton Men’s yet-to-be-released spring 2025 collection, over spandex shorts and thigh-high boots, and performed four songs, including her runaway hit “Water.” “I felt hot,” she says with a smile.…

LOUIS PARTRIDGE

ELLE: Disclaimer opens with a sex scene between you and your girlfriend in which you quite amusingly underperform, and I wonder what you think your director Alfonso Cuarón is getting at by starting the whole series that way. LOUIS PARTRIDGE: Alfonso has many schemes and harebrained ideas, and often it takes me a while to understand them and then I think, Ohhhh. I think the sex aspect is quite typical of Alfonso—Y Tu Mamá También is one of my favorite films. All the emotions tied up in sex, be it passion, lust, violence—they’re all themes that show themselves throughout the series. ELLE: The younger version of Cate Blanchett’s character is quite calculating and seductive. Can you relate to that feeling of manipulation? LP: No, I’ve been lucky. I’ve had solid relationships in that…
