Beauty, though, isn’t just about what’s visible on the surfaces of things. Despite all of the efforts to reduce it to a set of standards to achieve or aspire to, beauty isn’t purely about the physical or the aesthetic. It can be an emotion, a sensation, an instinct, a spirit. Feeling beautiful often has much less to do with external validation than with something much more inward. Beauty doesn’t conform; it isn’t fixed. In many ways, beauty…

FOR HER SPRING haute couture show, Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri lined the runway with 22 richly embroidered, brightly colored tapestries that highlighted subjects such as the Hindu goddess Kali radiating divine feminine shakti energy. Haute couture is the ultimate celebration of handcraft and French savoir faire, but Chiuri looked farther afield than Parisian ateliers for this spectacular display of artistry, whose tapestries took between 500 and 2,800 hours each to complete, collaborating with the artist couple Madhvi and Manu Parekh and the Chanakya School of Craft in Mumbai. During her time at Dior, Chiuri has made a concerted effort to showcase the creative work of women. The craftspeople of Chanakya—which trains local women in more than 300 embroidery techniques—re-created some of the Parekhs’ canvases, which are inspired by…

Mariane Ibrahim, the French-Somali gallerist, hadn’t planned to expand beyond her original location in Chicago, where she has focused on artists from the African diaspora, including Ghanaian-born starAmoako Boafa. “During the pandemic, I had a strong urge to be in Paris,” she explains, so she opened an outpost on Avenue Matignon. “The city is going through a revival,” she says. “It’s like the roaring ’20s.” Indeed, there are world-class hotels opening up, innovative chefs are energizing the culinary scene, and the Bourse de Commerce, home to François Pinault’s formidable art collection, and new galleries are turning Paris into a contemporary-art capital. STAY Bulgari recently opened its seventh hotel. The design of the 76-room property, a 1970s office building on tony Avenue George V, pays homage to both French artistry (Lalique-style…

PERFUMES ARE OFTEN DESIGNED TO BE WORN during the day (think light, energetic, citrusy fragrances) or in the evening (cue musky, sensual, heady notes). Louis Vuitton’s latest scent, City of Stars, lives somewhere in that lavender magic hour in between. “At night, when the sun is setting, we feel differently, we smell differently, we perceive things differently,” says Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, the brand’s master perfumer for the past 10 years. “It’s exactly like when you are looking at a painting with a lot of light and then again with less,” he says. “Some details become more essential.” City of Stars ($280) is inspired by Tinseltown when the sun goes down, but Cavallier Belletrud wanted its formula to blend both day and nighttime qualities. He deems those attributes integral parts of…

Growing up, I was called “the ugly girl.” Other kids called me “the skeleton” or asked why I had such plump lips or small eyes. They commented on my freckles and how lanky I was. I looked so different from the average Korean girl. But when I’d look in the mirror, all I saw was a face—one that wasn’t particularly beautiful or ugly. All of that changed when I went to an open casting with a friend and ended up getting my first modeling job. It brought out all of these different sides of my personality. To me, beauty is when a person is living and embodying their truth, no matter what that is. One of my morning rituals is drinking green tea with a little bit of sugar. I…

FOR ALMOST THREE DECADES, Amber Valletta and Craig McDean have been fashion’s answer to Penélope Cruz and Pedro Almodóvar: creative partners who, across ages and stages in both their lives and ours, have never failed to surprise. The pair first met on the set of a photo shoot in 1993 and since then have collaborated on a diverse range of magazine stories and campaigns that have routinely upended conventional ideas about beauty. Valletta grew up in the Great Plains of Oklahoma. Early on in her modeling career, her blue eyes and blondness had her pegged to be the industry’s next leading lady. But McDean, a photographer from Manchester, England, who had come of age in the booming 1980s club scene of the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, immediately recognized the…

I wish we could have made 2,000 covers to represent our beauty issue. That feels like a number that could more adequately capture and celebrate the expansiveness of beauty. Still, in the images and words of the women who appear on our covers—Imaan Hammam, Jill Kortleve, Sora Choi, and Lauren Hutton—I hope our readers can find something that resonates, that feels familiar, that reminds them of their own beauty. These women represent four of fashion’s leading faces; they’ve walked the runways in New York, Paris, and Milan, modeled for some of the biggest beauty brands, and lent their images to giant advertising campaigns. They represent what is beautiful now, and they have all worked to broaden and diversify those once overly narrow standards. But that’s beauty on the surface. When…

MARIKA-ELLA AMES STYLIST: “Imaan Hammam on Staying Grounded,” page 98 “I turn to the dreamlike beauty in the cinema of Federico Fellini and Jim Jarmusch, the graduate designers constantly proposing new notions of beauty, and nature. Jamaica will always strike me with its unfathomable beauty.” CASS BIRD PHOTOGRAPHER: “Lauren Hutton on Going Your Own Way,” page 122 “My understanding of beauty is getting more acutely defined and rooted in what is not man-made or man-altered. I have a bias toward the cracks and experiences worn by our bodies. I love age; I love the proof of life it shows and the beautiful accumulation of years.” KATELYN GRAY STYLIST: “Lauren Hutton on Going Your Own Way,” page 122 “I try to find beauty in the everyday. The changes in the rhythm…

I was first diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome when I was 14. At the time, it felt like an admonition, something that the doctor told me through gritted teeth. After reading every detail I could find about why it felt like an uncontrolled ricochet would fire through my digestive system like a hand grenade’s explosion, I found a naturopath who confirmed that my phantom illness might be IBS. It was the mid-2000s, and so my parents, having been shamed for the medicine of their South Asian roots, opted to get a second opinion from a Western doctor. And there I was, at 14, being told by said doctor that irritable bowel syndrome was still a largely unproven phenomenon and that what I had was still a mystery to her—but, yes,…

STEP 1: SB STYLEST swim bralette, $78, and swim panty, $78. STEP 2: SB STYLEST sculpting swimsuit, $198. STEP 3: SB STYLEST swim cardigan, $148. INSPIRATION FOR STARTING STYLEST? Alia and I met in our 20s working in magazines—we have since become lifelong best friends. We connected with Chrissy at a pool party I threw at my place in Millbrook, New York. Her bra was literally poking out of her swimsuit and when someone tucked it back in, Alia and I were immediately intrigued. We couldn’t believe bras for the pool or beach didn’t really exist. We couldn’t get the concept out of our heads. We joke that we are just three fashion junkies who walked into a pool party and came out with a genius idea. —Joyann King Michael…

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, there’s a chance you’ve developed a new relationship with your skin—one that maybe you didn’t anticipate. Perhaps you developed maskne. Or discovered worry lines. Or imagined worry lines (easy to do, depending on your Zoom lighting). Maybe you’ve hardly been able to make time for your skin—or yourself. Let the Harper’s Bazaar Skincare Awards be your shortcut to some overdue R&R for your skin. Each product on these pages was chosen because it’s highly effective, cosmetically elegant, and obsessed over by editors and industry experts. Also, each feels like a treat to use, which counts for a lot. BACK TO BASICS: A skincare wardrobe doesn’t have to be complicated. Build a simple routine with a cleanser, a serum, a moisturizer, an SPF, and a…

BELGIAN BLOOMS Known for his vivid colors and pattern mixing, designer Dries Van Noten always brings his magpielike elegance to the fashion world. His debut beauty line is no different. Ten fragrances instantly transport you to his garden in Antwerp, with the individual scents packaged in different apothecary-style bottles—each one an art piece unto itself. Soie Malaquais ($305), a spicy floral, is a standout. The collection features 31 lipstick shades ($78 each), ranging from matte to satin to sheer. Staying true to his roots, Van Noten also created a line of accessories, including cosmetic bags, mirrors, and combs. VIBE SHIFT Can a scent attract the right energy? Inside each Vyrao perfume bottle is a crystal charged with an intention. In the case of Free 00 ($190; shopBAZAAR.com SB), that’s a…

There’s a game I’ve started to play with my daughter to keep her entertained as we do our daily errands. We call it “safari,” but it really is a game of looking. We try to find one interesting thing on every building, sign, or tree that we pass: “That leaf looks like a star,” “That bird is flying in a circle,” “That house has one blue door.” It’s like walking through the world alongside a tiny beat poet who is shouting the phrases of a never-ending prose poem from a stroller seat. Lately, I have begun to realize that this game is an exercise in beauty. It has become a way to train ourselves to always look for it. We pass a rusted piece of ironwork in front of a…

My mom would always compare herself to random women walking by. Her generation was always on a diet. I was born in the ’90s in the Netherlands, and I considered the women I saw on TV and in magazines beautiful. There were shows on MTV like I Want a Famous Face, which was, by the way, the craziest. Everyone wanted to look like Britney Spears. The beauty standards then were skinny, white, and blond. No wonder I grew up with such a weird view on beauty. Today, I find beauty in more unexpected places. I’ve never been much of a punk rocker, but I love the punk era. It was a time when people didn’t spend hours trying to look picture-perfect. It was rough around the edges. I don’t like…

Last month, pop phenom Anitta released her fifth studio album, Versions of Me, featuring her hit single “Girl From Rio.” “I explore different types of rhythms in the album: Brazilian funk, rock, and pop,” says the 29-year-old, who sings in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. “I love to be a chameleon that wakes up every day and decides which woman she wants to be.” Already a star in Brazil, Anitta, born Larissa de Macedo Machado, reached new heights in 2013 when the video for her track “Show das Poderosas” went viral. She released her self-titled debut album later that year, earning a Latin Grammy Award nomination, and has since collaborated with Cardi B, J Balvin, and Saweetie. “I want to bring Latin culture and beats to the global stage,” Anitta says.…

Earlier in the pandemic, makeup artist Bobbi Brown got on TikTok, mostly to appease her niece. First, she uploaded a dance video as a joke. Then this year she tried her hand at something more on-brand: “beauty tips for women over 50.” Two and a half million people have watched it. “It showed me there’s this incredible, rabid audience of women who are not being talked to, and they just want to look better,” says Brown, who is 65. The beauty industry has marketed an effortless makeup look to millennials and Gen Z but had assumed that Gen X and older wanted something heavier. Not so, says Brown: “They want to keep it simple.” This group also has deep pockets. Women in the U.S. who are 45 and older spent…

TAURUS APRIL 21–MAY 21 Instead of interrogating a loved one over undisclosed matters, keep quiet. Since information will fall into your hands midmonth, you’ll solve any mysteries without asking invasive questions. LUCKY DAY: THE 29TH. You triumph by making a little go a long way. GEMINI MAY 22–JUNE 21 If people are urging you to scrutinize documentation or travel plans, it’s because they realize unnecessary risks could threaten your reputation. Prove that you can be cautious when it’s called for. LUCKY DAY: THE 21ST. Attention from afar lights up your life. CANCER JUNE 22–JULY 23 You’ll wonder at first whether to embrace a group activity. When someone you trust urges you to try out what could be a worthwhile experience, you’ll see that taking a chance could have benefits. LUCKY…

I am Moroccan and Egyptian but was born and raised in Amsterdam. I feel so blessed to come from so many different places. Amsterdam is such a small city, but it’s so vibrant. At school, we had kids from all over—China, Pakistan. It was a mix of cultures, and I find that very beautiful. It makes you understand the world better. The most beautiful place in the world to me is Cairo, where my father was born. I went in October last year for my birthday. Seeing the pyramids was so crazy and magical. To just be like “Oh my God, I’m from here” is even more crazy. Before that time, I did a DNA test. I found out so many things that I didn’t know, and one was that…

I grew up in Charleston and Miami and Tampa. My idea of beauty was a giant orange and yellow grass-hopper with pastel wings that I saw when I was a little girl. I chased my cousin Artie around with it! When I moved to New York and became a model, I didn’t know anything about the industry. I got a job modeling for Christian Dior for $50 a week. Once I started working, I made myself an athlete. I uncrossed my eyes. (Dick Avedon used to look up at me from behind his camera and ask, “Are they straight yet?”) I jumped around. I worked hard. But by 1972, there weren’t many of us models left. All the big girls like Veruschka, Twiggy, and Jean Shrimpton had basically split. I…
