ELLE April 2026의 목차

Sofia Coppola, who has excelled as a director, fashion designer, and writer, is putting on her editor hat. In celebration of her new Marc Jacobs documentary Marc by Sofia, Coppola serves as both a cover star and guest editor for our 2026 Women of Impact honors. On page 90, Michelle Ruiz meets the woman who has defined cool, both onscreen and off, for over 25 years. This year’s Women of Impact pages are devoted to the ways female artists support one another: You’ll find actresses and powerhouse producing partners Elle and Dakota Fanning; musician and artist Kim Gordon; and the members of Coppola’s A-list lunch group—fellow director Tamara Jenkins and artists Rachel Feinstein and Sarah Sze.

It was one of the most anticipated debuts of recent years, and Jonathan Anderson came out swinging. The designer reinvented Dior with froufrou grunge demi-couture, complete with padded hips, military-inspired jackets, and his own version of an 18th-century bicorne hat. He wasn’t the only one to rewind the clock this season: Catherine Holstein of Khaite experimented with rigid bodices, while Simone Rocha continued to tease out interpretations of modern romanticism with drop waists and sumptuous fabrics. Nicolas Ghesquière chose to show his spring Louis Vuitton collection in Anne of Austria’s 17th-century summer apartments at the Louvre. Fashion is having another retro renaissance, and it draws from an era well before low-rise jeans. In fact, this style takes these ideas to the extreme: The silhouettes are unabashedly romantic, and embellishments are…

IT’S Super Bowl weekend, and I’m standing inside a 200,000-square-foot warehouse on a waterfront pier in San Francisco, packed wall-to-wall with people, including more than a few of the sports and entertainment industry’s most recognizable faces. Russell Wilson and Ciara glide in, hand in hand, through the dense VIP section. Somewhere in the crush, Cardi B, Jon Hamm, and Ty Dolla$ign drift between clusters of guests. Big-name athletes fill nearly every corner of the room. The game is still two days away, and on this particular Friday night, Olivia Dean is the headliner every-one has come to see. “This is the first gig I’ve done since winning a Grammy,” Dean says, beaming, from the stage, spinning in a small, giddy circle as the crowd erupts. In the five days since…

1 The BAG The Filature bag by Hermès is a manifestation of the maison’s equestrian ties, drawing on saddlemakers’ ligature savoir faire to create a mesh of calfskin leather strands. Bag, HERMÈS. 2 The CUFF Jonathan Anderson’s Dior explores sculptural refinement with pieces like this gold-tone gridded cuff with a centerpiece stone. Bracelet, DIOR. 3 The SHOE Miu Miu ushers in the spring season one step at a time, with handbags and shoes featuring cane-webbed leather in house-signature silhouettes, like this ankle-strap pump. Heels, MIU MIU.…

Elsa Schiaparelli was raised in Italy and spent her career in Paris, but England’s Victoria & Albert Museum has its own relationship to the pioneering Surrealist designer. In 1971, the museum’s landmark exhibit Fashion: An Anthology by Cecil Beaton featured 11 Schiaparelli pieces, making it the largest museum exhibit to feature her work to date. Fifty-five years later, the V&A is honoring her once again with Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art. Filled with some of the designer’s most famous pieces, from her haunting Skeleton dress to a little-seen 1934 wedding gown, the show explores the house’s history from its beginning through the present day. The exhibit “oscillates between Elsa Schiaparelli’s designs and designs by [the brand’s current creative director] Daniel Roseberry,” says Sonnet Stanfill, the senior curator of fashion at the…

When Khloé Kardashian told me in a recent interview she’d traveled to South Korea for a suite of lasers and skin boosters, I wasn’t surprised. For those chasing good skin, it seems to be the only place that really matters, drawing 1.17 million medical visitors in 2024, often for dermatology and plastic surgery. Now many of these coveted treatments are making their way stateside. They’re best performed under a doctor’s supervision, so you can be alerted if they are contraindicated for you. Here is a guide to some of the in-offce remedies you may soon find at your local dermatologist’s offce—and how they might change your skin care plan for the better. FOR TIGHTENING Wielding a handpiece, a practitioner delivers monopolar radio frequency (MRF) currents to the skin to help…

Charlotte LAWRENCE CHARLOTTE LAWRENCE WAS RAISED in a TV home, but she always wanted to be a musician. “Neither of my parents sang or played any instruments, and my mom tells me stories of me being two, three years old and singing every sentence,” Lawrence says. “She would be like, ‘How do you even know how to go there and sing a harmony? How do you know how to find that note?’” Lawrence, 25, grew up in Los Angeles with her father, Bill Lawrence, a TV producer who cocreated Scrubs and Shrinking, and her mother, Christa Miller, an actress on both of those shows. Lawrence began putting out music as a teenager. She tried to be a pop princess, but it just didn’t feel right. “I didn’t know how to…

FRESH FRUIT It took 870 hours to craft Cartier’s Tutti Frutti watch, a medley of rubies, sapphires, and emeralds that combines the century-old high jewelry collection with the maison’s watch-making heritage. Inspired by ancient India with elements of Art Deco, the design echoes cherry blossoms in spring, mirroring artistry from the past to bloom brilliantly in the present.

Nieves González had been quietly making a name for herself in her native Spain when she received a DM that would catapult her into an alternate creative stratosphere. The message came from editor in chief–slash–stylist Leith Clark, who had seen González’s work on Instagram and wanted to enlist her for a special project. Enter Lily Allen. When González’s portrait of the star appeared on the cover of West End Girl this past October, it caused as much of a commotion as Allen’s hyperpop hits. The singer’s fifth studio album was an autofictional account of the dissolution of her marriage—but González presented a stoic image. Her subject had not succumbed to victimhood, but rather appeared poised and coolly in control. In an oversize light-blue polka-dot Miu Miu puffer jacket, black silk…

Agent Dana Scully, Kelly Taylor, C. J. Parker, and supermodel Paulina Porizkova walk into a bar. They laugh and smile, and like the beauty icons they are, their skin is tight but not overly taut, with gentle smile lines around the eyes to show that they’re still human. Except it’s not a joke, but a scene very likely coming to a beauty store near you. A few years after the rise of the Gen Alpha baby beauty fanatic, brands are moving on to Gen X. L’Oréal Paris has The X Files’ Gillian Anderson; IT Cosmetics signed 90210’s Jennie Garth; Baywatch’s Pamela Anderson cofounded Sonsie; and Porizkova is returning as a face for Estée Lauder after 30 years. There’s more evidence. Sarah Creal Beauty, which calls itself a brand “expertly crafted…

You know things are getting dire when even Kim Gordon is worried about being replaced by AI. On her new album Play Me, the 72-year-old god-mother of grunge addresses an unnamed, possibly robotic “boss” and reckons with the uncomfortable reality of our algorithmically driven present—and future. “I was just scrolling through my Instagram,” she says. “Looking at algorithms. It’s just kind of the landscape that we have. And I like to find challenging things to write about. ‘Let’s see if I can make a song out of this’ kind of thing.” She tries not to doomscroll, but she does some-times feel like she’s living in an endless Groundhog Day where progress resets to zero. “I thought we were getting a handle on racism or sexism,” she laments. “But I mean,…

SOFIA COPPOLA, REBEL DIRECTOR, WAS BORN on a New York sidewalk. On a chilly day in April 1994, a 22-year-old, hoodieclad Coppola and then-boyfriend Spike Jonze produced an “outlaw” fashion show for the femme skater label X-Girl, sending models including Chloë Sevigny, with a pink-crowned bowl cut, and Padma Lakshmi, braless beneath her baby tee, down Mercer Street. Drawing on her backstage experience as a teen intern at Chanel, Coppola told them to walk slowly—a strategic effort to capture the crowd spilling from her friend Marc Jacobs’s runway debut nearby. The pair first clicked when the director visited the designer’s New York studio with her mother, Eleanor, circa 1992. Coppola, a cinema scion and girl-about-downtown in slip skirts and Stan Smiths, became a muse for Jacobs, who’d just elevated flannels…
