Table of contents for November 2019 in Harper's Bazaar

Recently the world lost one of its most gifted photographers, my friend and longtime collaborator Peter Lindbergh. Over the years, Peter created dozens of iconic images and award-winning portfolios for Bazaar. He had an incredible warmth about him, which charmed everyone who came into his orbit. We had a long-running joke between us about my “passion for blue skies and smiles.” Peter was, of course, known for his moody black-and-white photography. But as it turned out he was able to give me—and Bazaar—the best of both worlds: images that were at once evocative and jubilant; images that made us smile and pause to wonder. My relationship with Peter was both professional and personal, as we became great friends through the years. I’ll never forget sitting around his kitchen table during…

#TheLIST APRÈS-SKI It wouldn’t be winter without a Fair Isle sweater making an appearance—this delightfully cozy knit is the season’s all-star MVP. WEAR IT WITH Sleek Staples Country charm meets city chic with sophisticated silhouettes added to the mix. Classic boots, minimal crossbodies, bold pencil skirts, and, of course, pearl earrings complete the look. SB= BUY ON ShopBAZAAR.com…

THE DIORODEO BAG In the market for a carryall as worldly as you are? Look no further than the Diorodeo bucket bag, a standout from Dior’s resort collection shown in Marrakech, a city that represents a veritable crossroads of the world for Dior’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri. With a braided-lambskin body and bohemian woven-strap details inspired by traditional African design, it’s the perfect companion for exploring the road less traveled. Dior bag. 800-929-DIOR.…

“SHE WHO DARES WINS” is an oft-Instagrammed motivational maxim, but true daring isn’t just about coming out on top. Instead daring can mean fighting the good fight and risking one’s career advancement. Next year will mark the centenary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, and if we’ve learned anything from the past hundred years, it’s that women will not be silenced. Regardless of the obstacles, we will find workarounds to achieve our dreams. Fields that were once the preserve of men are being transformed by the sheer passion and gumption of new generations of women. Take sports. Although the playing field remains dramatically uneven—according to the Women’s Sports Foundation, male athletes receive $240 million more in athletic scholarships each year, while all…

OIL FOR FINE HAIR One of the only oils we’d recommend for superfine strands, Shu Uemura Art of Hair Essence Absolue ($69) contains fast-absorbing camellia oil to enhance shine as well as UV protection. It even doubles as a pre-shampoo treatment. OIL FOR THICK HAIR Rich in vitamin E, antioxidants, and fatty acids, Moroccanoil Treatment Original ($44) is the gold standard in hair oil. A few drops on drier, thicker strands impart instant gloss. DON’T FEEL GUILTY: If you’ve amassed a stash of mousses, mists, and hair sprays—but aren’t quite sure how to use them—you’re not alone. “Styling products are the most misunderstood products in the hair category,” notes Mancuso. A common mistake is buying a product based solely on its promise (e.g., beachy waves, major shine) without taking into…

INGESTIBLE One of the rare hair supplements dermatologists actually recommend, Nutrafol Core for Women Plus ($88) contains marine collagen, amino acids, and ashwagandha to support hair growth. Expect results after a few months of regular use. TOPICAL Apply a few drops of Philip Kingsley Trichotherapy Tricho 7 Volumizing Hair & Scalp Treatment ($89) to the scalp, massage in, and let the soothing antioxidants and stimulating vasodilators get to work. The formula encourages healthy hair growth and even gives you a quick boost of volume.

DOMENICO DOLCE, in black shorts, a T-shirt, and a straw trilby, mops his brow for the nth time during a preview of July’s Alta Moda collection. The faint hum of Sicilian-style air-conditioning mingles with serenading crickets. Scores of seamstresses flown in from Milan, seemingly impervious to the heat, focus on the yards of tulle peeking out from beneath organza skirts hand-painted with images of Greek goddesses. Others tweak a Jackie O skirt suit encrusted with daisy-shaped crystals in sparkling shades of lemon and milk. We’re in Agrigento, a Sicilian town overlooking a glittering turquoise stretch of the Mediterranean that’s the site of the Valley of the Temples, known for its spectacularly grand, astonishingly intact temples built by the ancient Greeks (who occupied the island for 500 years before the Romans).…

FOR OUR annual Daring issue, we strive to honor the women who show us what it means to shoot for the moon. This month’s cover star, actress-producer-entrepreneur extraordinaire Reese Witherspoon, who spoke with fellow multi-hyphenate Natalie Portman about how she balances it all, is a shining example (page 136). Elsewhere in the issue, we asked Judy Chicago, Shirin Neshat, and Nina Chanel Abney to reimagine the Statue of Liberty dressed in boundary-pushing female designers (page 160). And they weren’t the only artists we dared to dream big: Ashley Longshore painted portraits of the royal supermoms, Kate and Meghan, who have taken on the brave responsibility of parenting in the public eye (page 174). Meanwhile, Poppy Jamie told us all about her project, Happy Not Perfect, which is aimed at encouraging…

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24–OCTOBER 23 Take care not to escalate misunderstandings about what you have or own. And though it may be hard to convey crucial messages, remember that those concerned are as keen as you to seal the deal. LUCKY DAY: The 10th. Contentious subjects are thrashed out when you speak up. VIRGO AUGUST 24–SEPTEMBER 23 Others may question why you’re indulging loved ones when you have so much going on. Instead of explaining, continue doing what feels right. LUCKY DAY: The 13th. Inhibitions fade as you express your true emotions. LEO JULY 24–AUGUST 23 Initially you may be inclined to tackle a challenging setup imaginatively. Fortunately a confidant or ally will insist on trying a more pragmatic, common-sense approach for the best results. LUCKY DAY: The 7th. Moves perceived…

BEST BRUSH Hair is most susceptible to breakage and damage when it’s wet. Protect your strands with the Wet Brush Pro Detangler Brush ($13.99). It glides through knots and won’t disturb your natural texture. PRO BLOW-DRYER An investment, sure, but the Harry Josh Pro Tools Ultra Light Pro Dryer ($349) is in a class of its own. The high motor speed reduces dry time and heat damage while giving your arm a break: It weighs less than a pound. ALL-IN-ONE With six interchangeable attachments for smoothing, volumizing, and curling, the Dyson Airwrap Complete ($549.99) is a game changer when you’re styling your hair at home. “I CAN’T SAY THIS ENOUGH,” warns Mancuso. “People don’t brush their hair—they tear through it!” Not intentionally, of course. By dragging bristles from the crown…

PETAL-SOFT Not all face oils are created equal. We’re partial to this lightweight rose formula, which absorbs in a flash for a dewy—never greasy—finish. Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Facial Oil ($79). SHEER BRILLIANCE Don’t be shy: This shimmery translucent gel is delicate enough to be used on cheeks, eyes, décolleté, wherever. Plan to use it well past party season. AIR OF STYLE Diana Vreeland believed that the scent of your home matters as much as (or more than) the fragrance you wear. Consider that incentive to start burning Outrageously Vibrant, a bold chypre that’s perfect for fall. WITH A TWIST Colder months don’t necessarily call for heavier fragrances. With juicy Italian lemon and a dry down of soft woods, Atelier Versace Cédrat de Diamante ($330) is crisp and cozy—the ultimate sweater-weather…

“If I ever needed something done, I would ask the busiest woman I know.” NATALIE PORTMAN: Hi! I’m so happy to talk to you for Harper’s Bazaar’s Daring issue. Was it scary to be shot with a spider on your face? REESE WITHERSPOON: The spider didn’t scare me, but there was a snake at the photo shoot that did. This is going to sound weird, but I like insects and spiders. I was kind of a tomboy growing up. It grosses everybody out, but I like to pick up bugs. NP: What, if anything, are you actually afraid of? RW: I get scared of being on really tall buildings and looking down. NP: And you did that too for your Bazaar shoot! I’m impressed. Speaking of impressed, I watched the…

THE NEW COLOSSUS Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” Engraved on a plaque inside the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal, 1903 Judy Chicago “I thought she could be a wonderful symbol of…

JESSICA FELLOWES: I’m very intrigued to see the artwork you’ve done for this feature on their Royal Highnesses, the duchess of Cambridge and the duchess of Sussex! You clearly have a great sense of fun, in life and in your work. Do you think the same goes for the duchesses? Do they look as if they’re having enough fun? ASHLEY LONGSHORE: I think it’s like the old adage “Heavy is the crown.” They have an enormous amount of social responsibility. That being said, they are both very poised, elegant, modern women. I think they really do exude an intoxicating joy. They are beautiful, royal, philanthropic, fashionable, tasteful, and, yes, I think they are a lot of fun. JF: You’ve been described as a young, feminist Andy Warhol—who also did a…

GARDEN PARTY WHILE FRANCE teetered on the brink of revolution, the Petit Trianon at Versailles was Marie-Antoinette’s domain, a place of pleasure for the queen and her friends. To this day the enchantment of this architectural gem remains unparalleled. Trianon and the Queen’s Hamlet at Versailles (Flammarion) offers lush photographs of some of her favorite spaces on the vast estate, including the octagonal Belvedere Pavilion and the Temple of Love nestled in the English gardens, and the gilded Queen’s Theater, which is large enough to seat 250 people. Featuring areas often closed to the public, this glossy tome presents a rare glimpse into the private world of one of history’s most notorious royals. BOOK BEAUTIFUL NIGHT MARE After blowing the lid off short fiction with her debut story collection, Her…

SHAMPOOS AND CONDITIONERS SMOOTHING Who knew you could stop frizz in the shower? Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner ($27 each) work together to give hair a sleeker start (without silicones). Its proprietary technology also blocks humidity so hair stays smooth. THICKENING As a system, Aveda Invati Advanced Exfoliating Shampoo and Advanced Thickening Conditioner ($34 each) reduces breakage and bolsters strands for a fuller look instantly and over time. PURIFYING Clarifying shampoos get a bad rap, but not Christophe Robin Purifying Shampoo With Jujube Bark Extract ($38). Formulated with soothing botanical extracts, it deeply cleanses scalp and strands without stripping them. REPAIR Virtue Recovery Shampoo ($38) and Conditioner ($40) contain the brand’s patented Alpha Keratin 60ku protein, which is virtually identical to that of human hair. (And unlike many…

ROOT TOUCH-UP L’Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up ($10.99) conceals grays and root regrowth in seconds without sticky, telltale residue. It’s great in a pinch between dye jobs. CLEAR GLAZE You won’t know how you’ve lived without John Frieda Luminous Glaze Clear Shine Gloss ($11.99)—in three minutes it revives dull color. HOME HAIR COLOR With more than 50 super-shiny shades, L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference Hair Color ($9.99) delivers a believable (i.e., multidimensional) shade that resists fading for up to eight weeks. TIME IS MONEY, so it’s little wonder that many of us are contemplating home hair-color kits to supplement—or even replace—regular salon visits. To get professional results, it comes down to mastering a few tricks that may not be on the instructions. To start: Don’t fixate on the color shown…

THERE’S BEEN A LOT of talk about the millennial sex recession lately. But while the iGen generation might get off on Instagram self-adoration, a mounting body of evidence suggests that women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond are embarking on what might be a sexual revolution as profound as that of the 1960s. Adult women are finding ways to enjoy sex more, changing relationships when the sexual narrative no longer serves them, and exploring erotic pathways previous generations would have thought unimaginable, illegal, and immoral. Bottom line: If you’re a 45-year-old woman, odds are you may be having hair-tearing, forget-your-name, I-need-a-glass-of-water sex. Deb Laino, a Delaware-based sex therapist with a national clientele, sees what is happening with middle-aged women as a “sexual cry for freedom,” along with a growing…

JERRY HALL embraces me warmly. I have just arrived at the Bel Air estate where she lives with her husband of three years, the media mogul Rupert Murdoch. As the three of us stroll through light-filled rooms adorned with impressive modern and Aboriginal art, they’re keen to show me their pride and joy just beyond the patio: Moraga Bel Air winery. Rows of grape vines are surrounded by majestic eucalyptus trees under which trestle tables are being prepared for the winery’s 30th-anniversary celebration tomorrow. Hollywood stars, studio heads, and talk-show hosts—from a dazzling guest list comprising more than 150 luminaries—will soon be descending, as will a smattering of Murdochs and Jaggers gathered from all corners of the globe (including Sir Mick himself, who recently performed at the Pasadena Rose Bowl…

JOAN COLLINS: Hi, darling. How are you? CARA DELEVINGNE: I’m good! Let’s talk fashion. Who are your favorite fashion designers and why? JC: Well, obviously Valentino, darling. Because I’ve known Valentino Garavani since 1968, when I first went to his atelier in Italy. I needed to borrow something for a TV appearance in Rome, and somebody suggested I go to him. I borrowed a divine short, beaded bolero, and ever since then he’s been a great friend. I’ve been on the boat, I’ve been to his houses everywhere, and now that Pierpaolo [Piccioli] has taken over, you know I still support them. I’m kind of eclectic in my taste—I design a lot of my own clothes. Did you know that I designed a lot of my clothes for Dynasty? CD:…

HAPPINESS has had its own mood swings in the past decade. First, we learned that it’s more satisfying to plant our own arugula than to build a McMansion. The Happiness Project gave us proofs of love. We sparked joy Marie Kondo-ing our closets and rolling our T-shirts. Then Instagram happened. We compared, we lamented, we read inspirational quotes to pick us back up. But happiness was in a downward spiral, with anxiety and loneliness spiking especially among younger people. By 2018, the most popular class at Yale—in the university’s history of all its classes ever—was Psychology and the Good Life taught by Laurie Santos, with nearly one out of four undergrads forgoing philosophy and physics to learn how to be happier. Now the pursuit of happiness is taking a new…
