As we look forward to fall, the focus is on fast, fabulous ways to reboot your wardrobe. Cue 15 instant updates that showcase the season’s key pieces (say hello to the cropped jean and slimmed-down shearling coats) and how to wear them (page 93). Next, strap on your Saint Laurent spiked-heel ankle boots, and get set to embrace classic black-and-white (page 100) and the prettiest pinks, as worn by our cover star, Natalie Portman (page 146). And in the spirit of the ’70s, indulge in the hippie era’s latest twist, with longer skirt lengths, opulent prints, and wine-colored accessories (page 138). Meanwhile, sleek menswear-inspired tailoring and hearty tweeds inject your look with a masculine edge (softened by ladylike ruffled blouses), and whimsical scarves—draped around the neck or tied to a…

When people talk about style, one name comes up more than any other: Diana Vreeland. Her famously brassy quips have immortalized her as one of the most quoted voices in fashion—and probably modern history. Moreover, she had the confidence to make pronouncements in an era of rigidity. I can’t think of a more perfect centerpiece to our Personal Style issue than her grandson Alexander Vreeland’s story on page 164, which, in advance of his book Diana Vreeland: The Modern Woman, details Vreeland’s glory days as fashion editor of Harper’s Bazaar and how she truly lived life according to her own idiomatic extravagance (for instance, injecting her pillows with syringes full of fragrance). How fabulous to see the torch pass from one generation to the next. Earlier this year, our assistant…

6:30 A.M. I wake up naturally at the same time every day, even if I go to bed late—I have a personal clock. I go straight to the kitchen and prepare my coffee. My first conversation of the day is probably with my dog, Zac. He tells me, “Let’s eat breakfast!,” and walks around me while I’m trying to prepare it. Zac is gorgeous. He’s like a human; he’s really well educated. 6:50 A.M. I can get ready in 20 minutes. I pick out what I’m going to wear the night before. It depends on my mood. One day I’m really dressed up, the next I’ll jump into a pair of jeans and a shirt. Maybe I’ll wear the same thing for three days. Usually I’m more into monochrome, but…

LOUIS VUITTON ON POINT THERE WAS MUCH TO desire in Nicolas Ghesquière’s fall collection for Louis Vuitton—the oversize brushed sheepskin coats, satin pantsuits, and jellyfish chinoiserie mini-dresses that breezed down the runway set hearts aflutter. But it was in the accessories— especially the sculptural pointy toe, glazed-calf-hair pumps—that we found true romance. “I’ve always loved collages and contrasts when it comes to shoes,” says Ghesquière. “This season they’re hybrids, mounted on a very thin, faceted heel with a tapered pointed toe. It’s almost aerodynamic.” Fitting for a designer whose commitment to exploring what lies ahead never fails to reach new heights.…

GIGI’S GOLDEN LOCKS “Buttery baby blonde” is how New York colorist Keith Shore describes the shade he created for model Gigi Hadid. Using balayage, a highlighting technique, Shore enhanced her naturally dark-blonde strands by painting brighter pieces along the hairline and ends “for a warm, sun-kissed finish.” For expert tips on how to achieve Hadid’s fresh-faced glow, turn to page 189.…

What is your first fashion memory? When I was a little boy, I was fascinated with how women looked and carried themselves. My first introduction to fashion probably came through television: I was obsessed with Elsa Klensch, who used to cover fashion for CNN. I grew up in Montreal, so we got all the French channels too, and they would report on all the couture shows. That’s how I started to learn about people like Yves Saint Laurent. And before my sister, Sara, and I went to bed at night, my mom would show us books on Manet and other artists. Even then I was always really interested in how the women looked in the images. What were your hobbies growing up? There was a big, beautiful lake at the…

WHERE FASHION GETS PERSONAL 1. THE MOD MINI Project parisian cool with an a-line micro-miniskirt. wear it with a peacoat, a classic bag, and a large watch for a gamine vibe, like model alix angjeli. 2. THE LACE DRESS A lace frock gets edgy with a patent knee-high boot. 3. GILDED LIDS A sheer wash of shimmery gold eye shadow looks chic. Finish with several coats of black mascara, but skip the liner. 4. THE CHAIN BELT A fall must, the jewelryinspired waist cincher modernizes a cozy, oversize sweater. 5.

WHEN I WAS LITTLE, my mom would show me photographs of her, but I didn’t understand that she was this huge icon,” says Jazmin Grace Grimaldi of her paternal grandmother, Grace Kelly. “I love the pictures where she’s quirky and smiling. there’s one of her wearing a bathing suit, holding an orange on a stick, with these excited eyes,” she says, recalling an image of a young Grace at the height of her screen career, before her marriage to Monaco’s Prince Rainier III, when she was not much older than the 23-year-old Jazmin is today. “she seems so natural and carefree.” The eldest daughter of Prince albert II, Jazmin lives in New York, where she attended Fordham University and is now embarking on a career as a singer and actress.…

For our weekly Best-Dressed List, go to Bazaar.com IT WAS WOODY ALLEN who once said that “80 percent of success is just showing up.” In the world of modeling, I’ll tweak that to end “showing up looking good.” My favorite models know that what they wear off the catwalk is just as important as what they wear on it. Take DREE HEMINGWAY, whose style has remained true to her bohemian California roots, as evidenced by this Chloé peasant-blouse-meets-flared-denim ensemble. Another stylish West Coast girl, KENDALL JENNER, has an uncanny ability to turn the sidewalk into a runway (much like her sister Kim), as she did in this midriff-baring number. I’ve always admired Belgian-born model HANNE GABY ODIELE for the quirky and unique way she puts her outfits together— to wit,…

THE BEST BEAUTY advice I ever got was from Polly bergen when I was 11 years old. I was watching her on tV at my stepfather’s house, and she said something like, “I wish someone had told me when I was younger to start taking care of my skin.” so even though I was in the fifth grade, I did what she said. My stepfather was married to a Ford model at the time, and she would let me use some of her products but never her erno Laszlo, so I started sneaking the erno Laszlo soap. I got into huge trouble for it. this was around 1977, when erno Laszlo was, like, all the shit. she had brought it from New york. these days I use sK-II products and…

Kara Mann’s doorway is guarded by a duo of spry blue-eyed miniature Australian Shepherd dogs, known to friends (and, quickly, strangers) as Shorty and Bob. They not only feel at home in the interior designer’s Bedford, New York, getaway but also adhere to its palette—grayscale with subtle accents of color. Mann bought the bucolic retreat shortly after being tapped to redesign Manhattan’s historic Chelsea Hotel in 2011 and relocating to Greenwich Village from Chicago, where she opened her namesake firm in 2005. “New York is fantastic,” she says, then adds with a laugh, “Even more so if you can get away.” The house, originally built in 1730, is a streamlined mix of old and new. Mann contrasts original wooden crossbeams and a secret crawl space (a relic of the Underground…

DEEP-RED LIPS Update your lip-color wardrobe with a sexy, darker option for fall. Regardless of your lip size and shape, skip red liner, since “hard edges are a no-no,” says makeup artist Nick Barose. To prep his clients’ pouts, Barose uses lip balm and a clear lip pencil to prevent saturated shades from bleeding into lines without looking overly defined. In your 20s and 30s, experiment with glosses or matte textures. After 40, apply a formula with a cream finish. FLAWLESS SKIN Try makeup pro Sonia Kashuk’s secret for a dewy, lit-from-within glow: After cleansing, massage a few drops of face oil into your skin “to help your concealer and foundation glide on seamlessly.” Next, blend a pink or peach cream blush onto the apples of your cheeks and the…

MY GRANDMOTHER had a tendency to romanticize. My family and I lived in Morocco for a while when I was a child, and she was convinced that I went to school on a horse and had a camel in the backyard. to this day she would still believe that. that was just her version. and it didn’t seem necessary to tamper with it. I didn’t want to say, “no, I go to school on a bus.” her romantic visions were part of why she was so successful. It’s how she inspired people like richard avedon to create these amazing, fantastic pictures. of course, if she had been a bookkeeper or a newscaster and was romanticizing facts and figures, then that would be worrisome. But her imagination gave her images that…

In today’s hyperconnected world, where the average person stares at a mobile device for nearly three hours a day, there’s a new wrinkle: All that time looking down at your phone or iPad may be contributing to more lines and skin laxity, what some doctors have dubbed “tech neck.” “It’s definitely a real phenomenon,” says Dendy Engelman, a dermatologist and director of dermatologic surgery at New York’s Metropolitan Hospital. When your head is tilted downward at a 45-degree angle, such as while typing, texting, or scrolling through Instagram, you’re repeatedly squishing the skin into folds and keeping your muscles in a loosened, untoned state. And since neck skin is thin and delicate, similar to the under-eye area, the aforementioned repetitive squishing makes your neck “more prone to showing signs of…

Brought to you by Maybelline New York PERFECT COMPLEXION “The look is quite simple— you want to accentuate your natural beauty,” says Yadim, Maybelline New York’s global makeup artist. For a flawless application, cleanse and moisturize your skin before putting on any makeup. “This gives you a smooth, clean canvas to work on,” he says. Once your skin is dry, apply a dime-size amount of foundation with your fingers. “Brushes and sponges can cause makeup to look cakey,” Yadim says. “Sheer it out using your hands.” Hide any remaining redness or blemishes with Maybelline New York’s concealer. EXPERT TIP Don’t forget to apply foundation to your neck as well, advises Yadim. It will keep the coverage even and natural-looking. “You want to accentuate your natural beauty,” says makeup artist Yadim.…
