“Why would you want to look like everyone else when there’s such a big choice of things today?” asks nonagenarian fashion icon Iris Apfel in this month’s Ageless Style essay (page 262). You wouldn’t—especially when our spring fashion issue is bursting with so many new possibilities, from reimagined pantsuits (page 320) and goddess-worthy gowns (page 334) to finely feathered eveningwear (page 354) and Pop Art – inspired accessories (page 346). Make each one your own. Enjoy the issue. Stella McCartney earrings, $750. shopBAZAAR.com. SB SB = BUY ON SHOPBAZAAR.COM…

LHD When longtime ShopBAZAAR muse and partner Laure Heriard Dubreuil launched her debut collection, we were immediately smitten. Featuring exuberant Miami colors, unique 2-in-1 combos, cheeky updated staples, and exclusive collaborations, the line is inspired by the destinations she loves most and will ignite your wanderlust. REPETTO As the originator of the classic ballet flat, Repetto has been the It girl’s go-to since 1957. Renowned for their unfailing craftsmanship and tried-and-true silhouettes, the next shoe you need to add to your style queue is the Zizi. Beloved by the legendary Serge Gainsbourg for its impossibly comfortable fit and timelessness, these oxfords are pure chic. AURÉLIE BIDERMANN Be prepared to be transported to Mexico’s Pacific coast and tropical dulce vida by Aurélie Bidermann’s new collection. The designer names screen icons María…

This month marks the opening of two blockbuster exhibitions in Paris devoted to Martin Margiela, the iconoclastic Belgian designer who questioned not only the structure of garments but also that of the entire fashion system, and who famously declined to be photographed or give interviews. First up, “Margiela/Galliera, 1989–2009,” debuting at the Palais Galliera on March 3, traces the career of the creator without a face, whose logo-less designs pushed the scale of garments to extremes and exposed linings and raw seams. “Margiela, Les Années Hermès,” which opens at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs on March 22, explores his unlikely tenure as creative director of womenswear at the French luxury-goods house Hermès, from 1997 to 2003. WHEN I THINK about Martin Margiela’s Hermès years, I remember a style that very…

LUXE LINER A discreet twinkling line can draw light and brightness to the eye, says makeup artist Ricky Wilson. We like Maybelline’s pencils, which come in a range of flattering metallic hues. Trace along your lash line and gently blend with a Q-tip for soft, diffused color. Urban Decay’s liquid liner is a quick way to add sparkle for evening. PREP WITH PRIMER “Shimmery shadows have a lot of mica and move around by themselves,” says Wilson. He recommends using an eye primer—ideally one that is oil-free—to keep that from happening. Try Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer ($21). Let it set for a minute before applying shadow. PERFECT COLOR The Nars NARSissist eye shadow palette in Wanted contains 12 stunning yet wearable shades in both matte and shimmering…

INSTANT SKIN FIXES If you haven’t already added a problem-solving serum to your skin-care routine, now is the time. Dior’s new potent Capture Youth serums are formulated to target your specific concerns, and you can even cocktail them if you like. Apply before your moisturizer. THE PERFECT MATTE LIP Packed with rich pigment but weightless on your lips, Laura Mercier Velour Extreme Matte Lipstick (at left, Goals and Dominate, $28 each) may just be the holy grail of matte lip color. One coat lasts and lasts. MUST-HAVE BLUSH Lancôme’s new macaron-inspired packaging is too cute to resist. Use the (macaron) sponge to apply the creamy blush to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy-looking flush. STRONGER HAIR Sisley Paris, renowned for its exquisite skin-care products, has launched Hair Rituel,…

HOW PRECIOUS IS IT that after the season of Men Behaving Badly—really badly—we are back to discussing Fearless Girl? This month, it will be determined whether the statue that raised such a hoo-ha a year ago when it was installed in Manhattan’s financial district opposite Charging Bull, the iconic symbol of Wall Street, will remain. The Bull’s creator, Arturo Di Modica, famously pitched a fit, claiming that the little bronze girl, with her hands defiantly on her hips, staring down his bull, corrupted his artistic integrity. (Artists! Male artists!) As a lawyer for Di Modica mansplained in a press conference last spring: “Charging Bull no longer carries a positive, optimistic message. Rather it has been transformed into a negative force and a threat. Clearly a deliberate choice was made to…

IF YOU’VE NOTICED that your ponytail is thinner than it used to be, you’re not the only one. As women age, the quality of their hair changes. “For many women, 30 is a turning point,” says Doris Day, M.D., a New York dermatologist. “Hair loses density, and the thickness of each strand changes as well.” The good news: A variety of treatments are available to help you regain full, lush locks. Celebrity stylist Serge Normant sees the current long-hair trend as a response to the ubiquity of lobs for the past few seasons. “But we all know going from a lob to superlong ’70s hair isn’t going to happen overnight,” he says. Our experts agree that a combination approach works best to optimize results, so add treatments to your routine…

I’m so proud that Bazaar has always championed individuality and personal style. That said, it’s been wonderfully uplifting to see uniformity being used as a force to unite women during the recent awards season—black certainly is the new black. Of course, at Bazaar we’ve never underestimated the power of classic noir, but we also love to celebrate fashion in all of its fun, flamboyant glory. We believe clothes should give you the confidence to express exactly who you are and what you stand for, and this spring you’ll have plenty of options to do just that. From luxe sportswear to dreamy Grecian gowns and Pop Art prints, in this issue you’ll find the perfect looks to elevate your wardrobe. Along with fearless fashion, you’ll also find fearless women, like supermodel…

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I’ve had a million wedding days. Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to attend countless openings, awards ceremonies, and other red-carpet events wearing truly amazing dresses by Valentino, Erdem, and other designers—the sort of dresses my mom will text me about the next day to say, “You looked very pretty, dear.” But if I had to single out just one that changed my life, it’s the green jersey number I wore to the first fashion show for my AlexaChung label last year. In retrospect, it was not an obvious showstopper. For the collection’s debut, I decided to stage a tongue-in-cheek “wedding” at an old Danish church in North London, to symbolize the start of a new chapter in my life, as a creative director. I’ve…

People always talk about Jackie O, but for me her sister, Lee Radziwill, is the ultimate style icon. Lee’s signature look of a knit and flared trouser is unassuming, but then there’s one detail that catches your eye, like a chain belt, cuff, or statement sunglasses. It’s just so elegant. My style is clean, unfussy, and pretty consistent in terms of silhouettes. I love fitted Stella McCartney blazers; piecrust-collar Vilshenko blouses; Victorian dresses from Erdem and Alessandra Rich; and flared pants and denim by Chloé and Mother. I’m a firm believer in never wearing shoes you can’t walk in. I own a lot of sandals—everything from simple Ancient Greek Sandals to whimsical Dolce & Gabbanas with red pompoms. I swear by Gianvito Rossi’s Portofino strappy sandal, which I have in…

WHILE WORKING ON my new book, Iris Apfel: Accidental Icon, I learned that I have more than 750,000 Instagram followers, which is quite amazing, as I’ve never even gotten an e-mail address. “My” account is run by a woman named Paris who lives in Vienna, and I’m not quite sure where she gets the photos she posts of me. But I’m very happy if I can be of some help, because I think young people today need direction. They have to learn to be themselves, to develop a sense of curiosity, and not to live vicariously through these characters with no personality who they follow on social media. You have a good pair of eyes; I’m sure you see the same things I do, Linda. Do you like it? Most…

FEBRUARY 20–MARCH 20 FOR YOUR DAILY HOROSCOPE, GO TO BAZAAR.COM/HOROSCOPES LEO JULY 24–AUGUST 23 While faraway places will beckon this month, pressure will be building at work and home. Someone with an ulterior motive will offer advice; follow your instincts and disregard it. LUCKY DAY: The 24th. Magically, solutions will appear for a tough situation. GEMINI MAY 22–JUNE 21 Having decided that you need help with a project, don’t be afraid to ask others for it. You may get turned down, but if that’s the case it will reveal more about those involved than about you. LUCKY DAY: The 20th. Group activities yield exciting new interests. CANCER JUNE 22–JULY 23 Rather than stress about complex negotiations, have faith in yourself. In the end, the respect you show toward others will…

THE NEUTRAL LIP is always on trend. This season, your favorite creamy mattes are being joined by formulas with a refined hit of sparkle. Here, how to get it right. Find your perfect shade: The key is to pick a color that’s close to your skin tone but doesn’t match it exactly; models on the spring runways at Tom Ford and Prabal Gurung wore rose-tinged nudes. Go for something with a hint of peach or pink to it, says makeup artist Ricky Wilson, who adds that the look will remain sophisticated if you choose formulas with a metallic—rather than an overtly glittery—finish. First step: Line your lips with pencil to define the shape and extend the wear of whatever gets placed on top. Texture tricks: Makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes…

7:10 A.M. Every day that I can wake up surrounded by nature in my own home [in Montecito, California] is a perfect one. I call it the “Promised Land” because it feels like a spiritual gift from all the forces of life. It makes me think of The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy is asked what she’s learned and she replies, “I won’t look any further than my own backyard.” This morning, when I hit the blackout shades just after seven, the light was casting its golden glow over the green lawn, with the clouds and ocean in the distance. I watched three geese fly over the backyard and land in the pond. I hadn’t even had a sip of coffee, but it was already a perfect day. [After her property…

“Think of autophagy as a Roomba inside your cells, cleaning and clearing damaged parts,” says Naomi Whittel. “It works to clear away the cellular junk that can lead to fat and wrinkles.” THIS YEAR, THE HOLIDAYS really took a toll. I had a grown-up birthday, which somehow gave me license to drink eggnog with rum every night for a week. Then my eight-year-old got horribly sick and I stayed awake with him five nights in a row, all while nursing a chronic eggnog hangover. By New Year’s Day my son had finally recovered, but I was a puffy and sallow wreck. I needed to get my mojo back. So when Glow15: A Science-Based Plan to Lose Weight, Revitalize Your Skin, and Invigorate Your Life, by Naomi Whittel, arrived on my…

Having daring style means dressing however you wish, fearlessly pushing the limits, and not caring who is watching. The most helpful piece of style advice I’ve been given is that self-confidence is the best outfit. My personal style icons are Anita Pallenberg, Faye Dunaway, and Lauren Hutton. But the woman in my life who has most influenced my style is my mom. Sometimes she still picks out my outfits! I’m so happy that the trends of the ’70s—the decade my soul was really born—are coming back around in full swing. I think heavily drawn-on eyebrows need to stop. I would describe my fashion choices as chic, confident, rock ’n’ roll, realistic, and bold. My go-to look is a cool jacket (I’m a big Levi’s fan), a Chanel scarf, a vintage…

The Gianni Versace – designed Tribute bowling bag and Icon shoulder bag—featuring Medusa-medallion-embellished straps and lock closures—had a second coming at Versace’s 20th-anniversary show, much like Cindy, Naomi, Claudia, Helena, and Carla, the OG supermodels who walked in the finale. PUNCHING BACK Raise a fist to Zoë Buckman’s 43-foot-tall kinetic neon rendering of the female anatomy, with fiberglass boxing gloves in place of ovaries. Part of her “Champ” series, it’s been erected in front of the Standard, Hollywood in time for the Oscars, thanks to Alice + Olivia and Art Production Fund. TRUE BLUE Leave it to minimalist maestro Giorgio Armani to create a denim collection filled with fitted blazers and smart shirtdresses. It’s the most refined take on the sturdy stuff you’ll see this spring. LA LA LAND Experience…

THE QUEST FOR A YOUNGER-LOOKING NECK While the most effective solutions for an aging neck happen in a doctor’s office, you can certainly achieve noticeable results with daily use of a good neck cream. We like Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Age-Correcting Creme for Throat and Décolletage ($145). shopBAZAAR.com. NEW BREAKTHROUGH PROCEDURES that can treat everything from crepey skin to a double chin have women booking appointments at cosmetic doctors’ offices in record numbers. Carolyn Chang, M.D., one of San Francisco’s top plastic surgeons, thinks there’s an additional reason for the surge in neck treatments: “When you look in the mirror, you hold your head upright and get the best angle,” she says. “But when you look down at your phone to FaceTime, you look like a bullfrog even if…
