FTEN FASHION is about embracing change. So it's fitting that the subjects (and the clothes) in our May issue are very much in the vanguard. Cover girl Gwyneth Paltrow invited Sarah Bailey to her north London home to talk about turning 40, what's next in her career, and a potential move back to Los Angeles (page 228). Also in London, art auctioneer and collector Simon de Pury opened up for the first time about his recent departure from Phillips de Pury & Company (page 236) at the art-filled Mayfair home he shares with his wife, Michaela, and their two-year-old daughter. Art continues to reign this month in an exclusive interview with the legendary artist James Turrell (page 252) on the eve of three major museum shows in his honor. Fabulous…

Bazaar executive editor Kimberly Cutter shares her must-haves I am in love with pretty much everything Hervé Van der Straeten does, but this necklace (1) is particularly amazing. Throw it over a white tee and a pair of well-loved jeans and you've got a perfect summer look. There's nothing more flattering than an Eres bathing suit. They're expensive but they last forever! This charcoal maillot (2) feels like a fresh alternative to black. Everything the Row makes is so beautifully tailored—this classic trench (3) had me at hello. I always wear these two rings together: Finn's Love Knot (a birthday present from my sister) goes on my pinkie, and the gorgeous diamond from my fiancé goes beside it (4). Isabel Marant is the high priestess of weekend clothes; this print…

THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE in London. Whether you're a fan of anarchy or the aristocracy, into tea parties in Mayfair or basement raves in Shoreditch, there's a scene for you. That's why I love this town so much. Fashion's full spectrum was on display in the British capital on the next-to-last night of the collections. I had a front-row seat to both established maximalism and fresh minimalism. Tom Ford's show at St. James's Palace featured models rocking exotic furs, embroidery, and over-the-knee boots. "Cross-cultural, multi-ethnic" was how Ford described it. A mere hour later came the stark simplicity of Jonathan Anderson's J.W. Anderson presentation, which was held in the underground space at Tate Modern. I sat next to Lady Amanda Harlech, who called it a "monastic dream." Not only were…

NO MINISKIRTS after 40. Or long hair. Sleeveless after 50? Never! There are a lot of women who still believe in age-related fashion dictums, but in a world where everyone from nine to 90 wears jeans, what does "age appropriate" actually mean? "I don't think a number defines your age," says designer Marissa Webb, who's in her 30s. "Your lifestyle and energy do. I've met many women in their 50s who are in amazing shape and can pretty much pull off any outfit. What's appropriate for one person can be very different for another." Thirtysomething designer Veronica Swanson Beard concurs. "Dressing your age means feeling comfortable in your own skin and working with what you've got." In my case, now that I'm in my 40s, I find myself wanting to…

Marriage is a tricky business. Every couple has issues, whether it's about money, fidelity, or who didn't lift the toilet seat. In my case, though, it's about revealing too much on Twitter. Here is a brief list of the type of things I find myself sharing: porno puns on candy names ("Reese's Peanut Butter DD Cups"), the fact that I'm waiting in line at the post office, and how I have to say #GoodByeSexyTime when our children and dog crawl into the bed. Comedians, writers, mimes—all take creative inspiration from their own lives. How else does one discover the truth and absurdity of existence? I love full disclosure. Maybe it's my rebellion against my puritanical upbringing—confess to no one, unless it's a bartender. I wrote a book of stories that…

The best look-goods are not always the most rare and expensive, discovers Emily Listfield The only thing more idiosyncratic than our sexual proclivities is how we choose to spend our money. When it comes to beauty, even women who readily shell out a small fortune to keep a star stylist on speed dial can be found channeling their inner Scrooge in the drugstore aisles. Whether it's out of convenience, love, or plain old penny-pinching, women of (major) means and fashion mojo from New York to Paris all have their favorite ways to save. Fashion designer Rachel Roy, who counts Kate Hudson and Michelle Obama among her fans, thinks nothing of spending $100 a week for an in-office manicure and pedicure: "Nails are like a great shoe or handbag, something you…

MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT HONG KONG It's a city with extraordinary variety-an urban metropolis that also has hiking trails and beaches. Shops range from tiny, family-owned antiques spots on Hollywood Road that have been there for years to new megamalls. BEST TIME TO VISIT In May, for the annual art fair, which is now Art Basel Hong Kong. It's an amazing week with a huge opening night, fascinating talks, and parties. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES Looking for silks in the Western Market, beads in Hung Hom, leather in Sham Shui Po, and meeting family-owned hardware companies in Mong Kok. NEIGHBORHOOD Sheung Wan, a place that's changing by the minute. It has Chinese antiques shops, brilliant restaurants, and the Cat Street Gallery, a great contemporary art space. FOOD & DRINK Lunch at the…

Behind the scenes in Paris with fashion's hottest design duo Picture-perfect. Gowns and shoes, Valentino. 212-772-6969. FASHION EDITOR: Joanna Hillman "Desire," purrs Maria Grazia Chiuri, one half of the creative force behind the Valentino brand. "That's the key word for fashion. A woman today doesn't buy a dress because she needs a dress. Pffft. No way." Pierpaolo Piccioli, Chiuri's design partner agrees: "It's about when you see something and you wonder how you could have lived without that before." The designers, both dressed in the black-and-white ensembles they're known for, are standing in the house's gilded Place Vendôme salon in Paris the day after Valentino's Fall 2013 show. The rapturously received extravaganza reinforced their reputation for creating clothes that are demure, elegant, and thoroughly modern. Dutch Master painters were the…

BALENCIAGA TIES ONE ON It's a great time for Balenciaga. The new-ly anointed designer Alexander Wang showed his first collection for the house in Paris this past March, and the jewelry was just as covetable as the clothes. To wit, a series of three gold bow cuffs that we can't wait to get ahold of. These of-the-moment extras hark back to the brand's origins (bows were a favorite motif of founding father Cristóbal Balenciaga) and were inspired by two austere brooches dating from the 1960s. But this update on the classic theme is anything but somber: It's more edgy and sculptural than sweet, which is exactly what we want to wear right about now. Pile them all on one wrist, or opt for just one, keeping in line with the…

Jenna Lyons in 24 hours The J. Crew creative director's life by the numbers 300 pairs of shoes 3 minutes to get dressed 14 pints of ice cream in the freezer 7:35 A.M. I wake up as late as I possibly can. The first thing I do is hit the snooze button. I love the snooze button—it's really a drug. I give myself maybe half an hour before I have to be out the door. One of my assistants gave me a T-shirt that says SORRY I'M LATE. After I'm up, I check my phone just to make sure that no emergencies have arisen, and then I pick out clothes for my son, Beckett. He definitely has a preference for cashmere—I've created a monster. Then I have coffee: strong, but…

AM 6:00 A.M. I wake up to a vintage Hermès clock (with a snooze button!). I start the day with a double espresso/macchiato made by my Nespresso machine while I read Daily Reflections. For breakfast, I have a David Kirsch Vanilla Protein Plus shake with strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries or an Organic Avenue Green Coco juice. 8:00 A.M. I take my daughter Lexi, 12, to school, and then head to the gym. I mix up my workout routine between yoga, cardio, and weights, or I take a class at Equinox. My favorite is a mind-body fitness class called IntenSati. 9:30 A.M. I run back home for a quick shower before moving on to the rest of my day. I love to use Fresh Sugar Face Polish on my body. I'm…

TONE FLABBY ARMS Doctors agree, noninvasive treatments don't work on bat wings. Instead, try micro-liposuction, a time-tested procedure that's ideal for removing small amounts of fat. "I see truly amazing results," says Ariel Ostad, a New York dermatologist. After administering a local anesthetic, the doctor inserts a microcannula (a hollow tube the size of a pen point) to suction out fat. Depending on size, each arm takes 20 to 45 minutes, but "there's absolutely no pain," Ostad says. Bruising and swelling heal within a week, and the results can be immediate. "It's like permanent Spanx for your arms," adds David Colbert, founder of the New York Dermatology Group. Cost: $3,000–$5,000. TRIM THICK THIGHS Ask your dermatologist about TruSculpt, a noninvasive procedure that shrinks fat cells using radio frequency technology. No…

WHERE I STAY I rent a house. I love that Ojai's only 45 minutes from where I live in Los Angeles, but it feels like a total getaway. I throw my Labradoodle, Teddy, in the car and drive. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT OJAI The local markets and being in nature. And all the horses. It's the perfect place to decompress—it's so quiet, and the air is amazing. WHAT I DO THERE Relax—early to bed, early to rise. That time before everyone wakes up is my favorite part of the day. Later I go for a hike, drink local wine, light a fire, cook, and play charades. I also like taking walks through the orchards and renting bikes. Last time I was there I read Dear Life: Stories, by Alice Munro.…

On the eve of three major museum shows, Pace artist James Turrell prepares for superstardom Innumerable artists have live-work spaces. James Turrell's just happens to be a 155-square-mile cattle ranch near Arizona's Painted Desert, where the art project that has consumed him for nearly 40 years (and counting) is a volcanic crater three miles wide. Roden Crater—its name even before it became an artwork—represents a singular achievement in contemporary art, not least for the sheer grit of its visionary. To help defray the cost of turning Roden Crater into a naked-eye observatory, Turrell has done everything from raising livestock to rebuilding vintage aircraft to accepting commissions for his Skyspaces, a badge among collectors. The artist, who first came to the art world's attention in the late 1960s as a leader…

There's nothing I find more exciting than the chance to see the newest collections during Fashion Week. The eve of the shows is full of so much mystery and optimism: What will Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler do next? What will Alexander Wang's much anticipated first showing for Balenciaga be like? What will we be buying next fall? And what will Marc Jacobs wear? All of our questions were answered with the debut of the Fall 2013 collections. Proenza Schouler's show, set in a cavernous space deep in lower Manhattan, was a highlight for Bazaar's home city. Jack and Lazaro packed a fashion punch with what was perhaps their most ladylike collection yet. There were jackets of exaggerated Cristóbal Balenciaga proportions, graphic black-and-white ensembles, and coats in…

When it comes to style, Gwyneth Paltrow knows what she wants—and the world tends to follow. The Tom Ford cape she wore to last year's Oscars launched a major trend (one that's back for fall), and she recently elevated the Saint Laurent duffel to It-bag status. A minimalist, but a daring one, Gwyneth favors Isabel Marant, R13, and Chanel, and can pick out a great boutique anywhere in the world: Colette in Paris,Just One Eye in L.A., and Ssense on the Web. Her latest shopping hits include a Stella McCartney faux snakeskin clutch and Rag & Bone jeans. But her eye for design goes beyond fashion. When asked whose house most inspires her, she answers "my own." She's also up on music—her current picks, "aside from my husband," are Frank…

Anais Pouliot, photographed by James Houston Suzanne Syz's gobstopping ring Edward Weston's Nude, 1923 THE SENSUOUS, STRIKING photographs that Edward Weston took over four decades still arrest with their artistry more than half a century after his death. Curator Terence Pitts and collector Manfred Heiting examine Weston anew in Edward Weston, a monograph that spans his career. For Natural Beauty, contemporary lensman James Houston snapped famously eco-friendly models and stars (such as Christy Turlington Burns, Emma Watson, Brooke Shields) to raise environmental awareness. Milk Gallery in New York is displaying Houston's organic yet modern pictures through May 5, with both book and exhibition proceeds going to Global Green USA. And Suzanne Syz offers a candy-colored showcase of the Swiss jewelry designer's pop aesthetic. Born…

GEMINI MAY 22–JUNE 21 Someone has eclipsed you in a certain area and it has left you feeling unsettled. That's why you must capitalize on the fact that you're about to be surrounded by people who want you on their team or who would love to spend more time with you. Just pace yourself. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: It's easy to sit at the helm in fine weather. CANCER JUNE 22–JULY 23 Major developments in your work or financial affairs this month should be kept separate from your private life. From mid-May on, make sure to allow extra time for issues that may prove all-consuming. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Be slow in choosing your friends and even slower in trying to change them. LEO JULY 24–AUGUST 23 Others may start…

WHERE I STAY I stay at the One & Only Reethi Rah resort. The hotel is so nice and relaxing. They also have a beautiful spa, and the Japanese restaurant inside the resort is delicious. I always order the tuna sashimi. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE MALDIVES The Maldives are so beautiful and peaceful. I'll never forget when I went diving there, for the first time in my life. It was amazing. FAVORITE VACATION ACTIVITIES I just relax and enjoy, and I spend time at the beach. I usually never leave the resort-I go to the spa and get a deep-tissue massage, take a yoga class, go diving, and enjoy a cold beer. The islands inspire my work; I've been using the pictures I took there as references for many…

DEBORAH LLOYD BEACH Kate Spade New York's chief creative officer strategizes for a trip to Antigua CHECKED BAG My black Tumi. I can fit a tennis racquet in it (I have a bad habit of leaving it in the overhead bin). It has two compartments to keep everything organized-and I can't live without the wheels. I tie a shocking pink ribbon around the handle so I can spot it easily on the carousel. PERSONAL ITEM An Hermès Birkin in navy, the ultimate travel bag. STRATEGY Nothing is left to chance. I start with a color scheme: color for day or the beach, and a more bold graphic statement for evening, often black or white. I always bring dresses. I pack two per day with layering options and jewelry. PACKING ORDER…

At 40, the longtime Hollywood princess has learned to love life in all its imperfections. Keeping her mystery. Paltrow in Dior Haute Couture. Headpiece, by special order. 800-929-DIOR. It's an icy day in London, but inside Casa Paltrow (painted so many sensuous shades of gray) in the north of the city, a fire roars, and our honey-limbed chatelaine pads about barefoot. She's dressed in defiance of the local climate—in a black tissue tee and green leggings (both prototypes from her burgeoning Goop mail-order business). Around her neck is a Jennifer Meyer gold chain that spells out MUM in funky fat type (another Goop collaboration). A dash of daring is provided by a chunky gold chain belonging to her seven-year-old son, Moses, from the downtown hipster boutique Blue & Cream in…

Eat all you want, just not when you want—is that the secret to staying thin and healthy? Bill Gifford investigates the science behind the latest diet fad. Unless you've been living inside a McDonald's for the past two months, you probably know that the most buzzed-about diet craze is something called intermittent fasting (IF), and that it's different from any other diet you've ever read about. IF lets you eat anything you want—just not when you want. And despite the "fasting" label, you don't ever have to go completely without food. Confused? The non-feeding frenzy has been fueled in part by The Fast Diet, a best-selling book from England. (The U.S. edition was released in February.) The idea behind it is simple: You can eat normally on five days out…

Russian couturier and street-style star Ulyana Sergeenko epitomizes the new fashion royalty. Welcome to her kingdom. In the constantly growing annals of street-style photography, one shot has already gone down in history: Tommy Ton's October 2011 image of a woman dressed head to toe in an iconic Louis Vuitton and Richard Prince nurse ensemble. She's staring at herself in a gilded makeup compact, her bright-blue eyes peering over a LV Monogram veil. The woman in question, 32-year-old Ulyana Sergeenko, a Russian couture shopper turned designer, became known in industry circles when her theatrical, Soviet-inspired style—dressed to the nines outside every fashion show, much to the delight of photographers—landed her on every street-style blog. The veil was the extra-special last touch that made it—and the person wearing it—unforgettable. "She is very…

When Bazaar editor in chief Glenda Bailey saw Dior's recent couture collection, she knew that one particularly gorgeous headpiece would become part of a fashion shoot, and it did—Daniel Jackson photographed Gwyneth Paltrow wearing the flowered hat for our May issue. But neither Bailey nor Jackson could know how bizarrely Bazaar the image would turn out to be. Weeks after the shoot, while looking through our archives, Bailey was delighted to see Richard Avedon's photograph of a model in a Philippe Venet bonnet in the April 1965 issue. Two different creations, one uncanny likeness.…
