RACE TO THE FINISH For its final season sans Kevin Spacey, House of Cards picks up where it left off: with Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) assuming the office of president. Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear join the cast—but as friends or foes to Claire? One can never be sure … ADAPTATION NATION Moonlight director Barry Jenkins brings James Baldwin’s novel If Beale Street Could Talk, the story of a young couple fighting the criminal justice system, to the screen in November. Meanwhile, Luca Guadagnino follows up Call Me By Your Name with a remake of the ’70s cult horror film Suspiria. FIRE STARTER Photographer Catherine Opie—who will be feted at Gucci’s LACMA Art+Film Gala this month—has a show at New York’s Lehmann Maupin gallery. Featuring stills from The Modernist, her…

Remember when makeovers were all the rage? The concept feels dated, doesn’t it? It’s not that we’ve grown complacent with ourselves, but we’ve developed a more stealth approach to our personal beauty evolution. In this story, for example, we feature an age-erasing haircut that looks better the less you fuss with it. It’s incredible what lopping off a few inches can do for the face, not to mention your attitude. This season, we’re also paying extra attention to brows and lashes—the newest treatments can cheat the appearance of eight hours’ sleep. As for the neck down, we’re living in a time in which body-shaping procedures can be a logical complement to your diet and exercise routine. There’s also an ab-sculpting machine that works its magic while you get lost in…

THE OPRAH INTERVIEW Julia Roberts opens up to her longtime friend Oprah Winfrey about the challenges of living in the public eye, the truth about her 16-year marriage to cinematographer Danny Moder, and why she finally joined Instagram (but doesn’t let strangers comment) OPRAH WINFREY: Hi, Julia Roberts. JULIA ROBERTS: Hi, Oprah. OW: The theme of Harper’s Bazaar this month is daring, and so you actually decided that you were going to do something daring because you’re afraid of heights. That’s what I heard. Is that correct? JR: I am afraid of heights. It’s funny, because I’ve always been afraid of heights, and then when this came up I thought, “Am I still afraid of heights?” Because I never put myself in that position, so how do I even know? Well, I’m…

WHEN I WAS PREGNANT with Henry, my second child, in 2008, I worked right up until the day before I gave birth. About a week before I was expecting to have a scheduled C-section, I was sitting through a House Armed Services markup, which began at 9 a.m. and typically lasts 12 to 15 hours. I was tired, so I told the chairman I’d only sit for 12 hours. Shortly after I left at 9 p.m., my water broke. I had been very uncomfortable that whole day. In retrospect, I was having early labor contractions! Henry was born a few hours later by emergency C-section. As soon as I felt like I could walk, I returned to work. My son was only about three weeks old at the time, but…

“What feels different about this moment is there’s more acknowledgment that we’re in this together, that we have to embrace women of all kinds.”–Laverne Cox ROSARIO DAWSON: You’re such a force of nature, so in your body. There are few people who have that. LAVERNE COX: As a trans woman, I’ve struggled to be in this body, to own this body, to claim this body, and to mold this body into how I see myself on the inside, so that’s a wonderful compliment. It was so powerful to see you in The Vagina Monologues earlier this year, and it was such a reminder of what this moment is about right now: a sort of forecast of what’s to come around claiming autonomy over our bodies, claiming our bodies away from…

“Part of being a leader is not giving up when others are shrugging their shoulders and saying a problem can’t be solved.”–Gabrielle Giffords GABRIELLE GIFFORDS: When you took the stage at the March for Our Lives, I was blown away. You painted a vivid picture of how gun violence affects your everyday life. Your words and your emotion captivated the nation. People noticed your braver y. People noticed that you weren’t afraid to share your pain and yet still stand tall. Now your story and courage are inspiring other young people across the country to join our fight for gun safety. You’re part of history, Edna! EDNA CHAVEZ: I learned from you that despite anything and everything, la lucha sigue. The fight goes on. Despite everything that came your way,…

FROM THE CHANGES WROUGHT by the #MeToo movement to the unprecedented number of women running in the midterm elections, 2018 has ushered in a seismic shift in the way we talk about and view women. In the fashion world, this evolution can be seen in a new willingness to take sartorial risks. And so we bring you the Daring issue. Modeling the season’s coolest streetwear, Hailey Baldwin shows us that anything boys can wear, girls can wear better (page 196). Elsewhere, notice-me brights make a case for standing out (page 176), and witchy capes and gothic gowns cast a spell that’s hard to resist (page 188). Enjoy the issue.…

HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT FUR Take the guesswork out of fur shopping with these three insider tips from the experts at Pologeorgis. Tip 1 Fit is key—rather than adding bulk or hiding your form, make sure the proportions flatter and accentuate your silhouette. Tip 2 Craftsmanship reigns supreme—well-made, high-quality materials guarantee a wise investment and a product that will last season after season. Tip 3 Stay true to personal style—consider your current wardrobe and identify whether the piece is a versatile asset that can be worn with zero styling dilemmas.…

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24–OCTOBER 23 Surprises someone close springs on you needn’t be a cause for concern, though you may wonder whether you’ll ever feel secure with this person when you never know what’s coming next. LUCKY DAY: The 27th. Entertaining others leads to unexpected delights. VIRGO AUGUST 24–SEPTEMBER 23 Those urging you to invest in improvements to your home aren’t being judgmental; they merely want you to indulge in a lifestyle that balances out the challenges you face in the outside world. LUCKY DAY: The 25th. People show how much they appreciate your affection. LEO JULY 24–AUGUST 23 As you explore territory that you’ve found intimidating, you’ll feel a mix of fascination and fear. While you’ll need to be well prepared, don’t be so cautious that you can’t relish the…

SKIN “Now that my kids go to sleep at a certain time every night, I make a real point to take care of my face. It’s not something I did in my 20s and 30s.” Morning routine: “We wake up really early in my house—5:45 a.m. I’m a single mom trying to get two kids ready, pack the lunchboxes, and not miss the bus. When I wake up I just rinse my face and put on sunscreen.” Nighttime regimen: “I use serum, eye cream, and a really good moisturizer.” Daily SPF: La Prairie Cellular Radiance Emulsion SPF 30. For super-sunny days: La Roche-Posay. “It doesn’t leave a film or look white. And it works! I don’t get burned or any pigmentation.” Forever face cream: “I like to try new products,…

WHY DON’T YOU… WEAR A BUCKET on your head? Milan-based designer-architect Patricia Urquiola’s leather Overlay Bowl is just one example of the brilliance on display for Louis Vuitton Les Petits Nomades, the house’s home-decor collection that was created in collaboration with some of the world’s most renowned…

THESE DAYS, it seems that there’s nothing more fashionable than a daring woman—and here at Bazaar we couldn’t agree more. For the cover story of our annual Daring issue, Julia Roberts shows that style and taking risks go hand in hand as she tackles her fear of heights in the season’s most spectacular couture. In a candid interview with her longtime friend Oprah Winfrey, Roberts opens up about the challenges of nurturing her 16-year marriage, raising kids in a digital world, and remaining optimistic in our current political climate. Meanwhile, New York’s Senator Kirsten Gillibrand explores how daring women—from suffragists to modern-day politicians—offer hope for the future. Finally, we turn to grande dame Helen Mirren, star of the upcoming fantasy film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, who tells us…

THERE IS no greater luxury than time: staying on it, having more of it, being ahead of it. As the single most sophisticated watch on the market in terms of both aesthetics and technological design, Richard Mille’s RM 07-01 Ladies Automatic is the ultimate symbol of glamour. The 18-karat red-gold case and jasper dial set with diamonds exist in perfect harmony alongside cutting-edge mechanics, which allow for peak accuracy. PRESENTED BY RICHARD MILLE…

STYLIST’S TIP Break up black-and-white with a pop of burgundy.…

My personal style is easy, comfortable, relaxed, fun, individual—and mine. My signatures are Nili Lotan East Hampton pants, Gianvito Rossi combat boots, and Céline cashmere sweaters—I don’t think there’s a color out there that I don’t have. I sprained my ankle severely about a year and a half ago, and it totally changed my entire shoe scenario. Now I live in flats and Nikes. My style icon is Rachel Ward in Against All Odds. No one else has ever managed to work a white T-shirt and shorts like that. I would also say Diane Keaton, always. Belts need to come back—waists are begging for them. I recently bought a chocolate-brown Loro Piana crocodile belt that I’m obsessed with. I’m also insanely attached to a Marni leather knapsack. It’s a lovely shade…

BIRTHDAY SUITE Herno is marking its 70th anniversary with an expertly tailored trench coat and puffer featuring handwritten notes from every person on its staff. Meanwhile, Kenneth Cole’s 35th-anniversary collection is more of a time capsule: The label is releasing special editions of six signature pieces. LA-LA LAND Here’s yet another fairy-tale ending for Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy: Their wearable art will be featured at Washington, D.C.,’s National Museum of Women in the Arts for its first-ever exhibition honoring fashion designers, opening November 10. RUBY SLIPPERS For his first act at Roger Vivier, creative director Gherardo Felloni is putting his own spin on Catherine Deneuve’s iconic Belle de Jour pump, which now comes in jewel tones and metallics and two heel heights. WINDOW DRESSING Enjoy breakfast at Tiffany’s…

WHEN MARILYN MONROE revealed that she wore nothing but Chanel No. 5 in bed, she cast the sultry fragrance—a bouquet of rose, jasmine, and iris—in an especially seductive light. That can happen when you find the right scent, says Luca Turin, a co-author of Perfumes: The Guide. “When the fragrance matches the personality of the wearer,” he says, “that is the music of the person’s soul.” This perfect alignment doesn’t happen by chance, so take the time to explore this season’s fragrances with an awareness that “certain materials do say ‘come-hither,’” adds Turin. We suggest starting with these. FORBIDDEN FLORALS Delivered as gifts and clutched by brides, flowers have long been surrounded by a sentimental narrative. However, some tell a more erotic tale. Take tuberose, for example. “In India, it…

GET YOUNGER LOOKING LIPS Take your lip regimen to the next level of anti-aging: AmorePacific’s Dual Nourishing Lip Serum helps revitalize lips and layers beautifully under Sisley Paris’s new Le Phyto-Rouge lipsticks, which are infused with plumping hyaluronic acid. FULL SPECTRUM Few things look as sophisticated as a glossy red manicure. Now Sally Hansen’s Ready in Reds collection reimagines the hue in six different ways, from juicy cherry to metallic burgundy. NEW DEW Increase hydration and shift your mood with Olay Mist Ultimate Hydration Essence sprays ($9.99 each). Energizing uplifts with vitamin C and bergamot, while Calming soothes with aloe and chamomile. SHAPE UP MDNA Skin’s The Beauty Roller ($200) uses dual-sculpting carbon spheres and ultra-infrared energy to lift and tone the skin. Use it daily along your cheeks, jawline—and…

HELEN MIRREN is a woman of many monikers. There’s “dame,” of course, which she was officially named by Queen Elizabeth II 15 years ago, for an acting career that has spanned more than five decades, starting with the Royal Shakespeare Company in the late 1960s. There’s “Oscar winner.” That happened in 2007 for playing Queen Elizabeth in The Queen. (Don’t forget: She has a Tony, an Olivier, and several Emmys too.) There’s also “sexpot,” a sobriquet that refers back to early, occasionally barely clothed performances in movies like Caligula (1979) and Age of Consent (1969) and still trails Mirren today, at the spry age of 73. And many would consider her something of a no-nonsense ballbuster. There were her many seasons as the tough-as-nails detective chief inspector on Prime Suspect,…

“‘Black Lives Matter’ was that phrase that people were afraid to say, and now it’s everywhere.”–Patrisse Khan-Cullors JANE FONDA: When were you born? PATRISSE KHAN-CULLORS: ’83. JF: God, you missed everything. I was almost onto my second husband—or my third—by then! PKC: [Laughs] That’s what my dad told me early on—they kind of knew I was going be an activist, so they’d always tell me, “You missed this whole generation of people who did this.” JF: Well, I didn’t miss it, I was around then, and it’s very different now. PKC: What makes it different? JF: It’s an existential thing—our whole way of life has been threatened. I was just a bougie whitey back then, but when I read your and asha bandele’s book, When They Call You a Terrorist,…
