IN OUR ANNUAL Fabulous at Every Age issue, we pay tribute to the stylish, inspirational, and fearless women who regularly grace the magazine’s pages. Our cover star, Jennifer Lopez, certainly embodies these virtues, and then some. The thing I’ve always admired most about J. Lo—apart from her stunning beauty—is her rock-solid work ethic. How else to explain the superstar’s willingness to attempt a tightrope walk for our cover shoot? She practiced over and over until she perfected her step, proving once again that through sheer determination she was able to make the impossible possible (and, yes, that includes defying gravity). The high-flying antics didn’t stop there. For the subscriber cover, we asked photographer Mariano Vivanco to find inspiration in Ryan McGinley’s showstopping image of the brilliant rapper M.I.A. swinging above…

STYLIST’S TIP Add sparkle to lighten up inky hues.…

My mother is my style inspiration because whether she’s watering the lawn or cooking dinner, she’s always in a full look. She puts on an apron if she needs to, but every single day, no matter what, she’s in either Alaïa, Prada, or now, of course, Brock Collection. For work I like to feel dressed but still at ease. My daily uniform is a white Alaïa button-down, Brock Collection high-rise jeans, and Manolo Blahnik kitten heels or Céline riding boots. My style for cocktail parties is more romantic and alluring. I always pull from the latest Brock Collection. For prefall, a purple jacquard bustier top and pencil skirt are my favorite. I’ll choose booties if the event is less formal; otherwise, strappy sandals—always Manolo. I keep only about 10 pairs…

T here’s a lot to be said for rolling with the punches and coming out on top. After years of personal loss and struggles—including her mother’s premature passing, her own battle with a deadly bacterial infection, and ongoing fertility issues—37-year-old Emily Ishbia decided to stop hiding behind her fears and take pride in her survival. Today, she’s her best self yet. On the heels of releasing her book, Overcoming Obstacles, the Detroit native shares how she keeps on marching—with strength, grace, and style. “Modeling is a natural high. I get so lost in the moment, with no other worries or concerns in my head.” On realizing her dreams: “In 2012, I was deathly ill and nothing was working. When you’re sick and in the hospital, you stop thinking about what…

A djust your skin-care routine as you would your wardrobe, keeping key pieces while adding new elements as needed. 20s PROTECT AND PREVENT Dermatologists agree: The best thing you can do for 20-something skin is to apply—and reapply—sunscreen daily, rain or shine. UV exposure accounts for up to 90 percent of visible aging, making SPF your best defense against spots and wrinkles. Choose a formula with SPF 30 or more, and combine it with retinol to increase cell turnover and further stave off the arrival of fine lines. Try StriVectin’s Advanced Retinol Day Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($99). 30s SMOOTH SKIN Changes to your skin texture, like large pores and fine lines, that may start to appear in your 30s can be minimized with glycolic acid. Applied topically, it…

1 PASTEL SUITING Master the art of (soft) power dressing with nattily tailored double-breasted suits in ultra-feminine shades of pink. 2 STONE EARRINGS Add a pop of boho glamour to any look with luxe onyx and lapis in supersize settings. 3 VINTAGE-INSPIRED BAGS Up your street-style game with rebooted classics like Gabriela Hearst’s accordion-pleated take on the structured doctor’s bag.

“I was over the moon when my favorite potter agreed to reissue her 1960s Palm Beach classics with us.” “All net proceeds from our Embrace Ambition bracelets support women entrepreneurs through the Tory Burch Foundation.” “Our Coolmax cashmere blend is a superlightweight performance fabric that keeps me dry—and warm.” “This versatile bag has a removable compartment for my racquets.” “My mom has always been vigilant about SPF, and her skin is still beautiful today.”…

1 THE DO-IT-ALL CLEANSER Come nighttime, it’s essential to literally wash away the day with a cleanser that can effectively remove makeup, sunscreen, dirt, and particulate matter from pollution. “It’s more important to cleanse in the evening than the morning,” says Joshua Zeichner, M.D., a New York dermatologist, who recommends gentle foaming formulas for oily skin and cleansing creams for dry skin. To get the most benefit from any cleanser, New York dermatologist Macrene Alexiades, M.D., suggests leaving it on your skin for 15 to 30 seconds before rinsing. Micellar water, like Givenchy Ready-to-Cleanse Micellar Water Skin Toner, is especially good at removing heavy makeup; and Chanel La Mousse Anti-Pollution Cleansing Cream-to-Foam transforms from a rich cream to a bubbly wash with water, and leaves skin feeling soft. 2 THE…

IMAN: Hi, darling! TARAJI P. HENSON: How are you, beautiful? Let’s get right into it: You’re 62 and started modeling in 1975, so you’ve been in the game for more than 40 years. What’s the best advice you ever received? IMAN: My mom always said, “Learn to say no and to walk away from things that don’t serve you.” “No” is a complete sentence. You don’t have to explain yourself. TPH: I believe in that. Now, I’m sure you’ve witnessed a lot of change in the industry. What was it like back when you started? IMAN: People thought of fashion as something artistic and personal, but then it became more of a big-business machine. Casting agents have assumed an outsize power as gatekeepers. Some had the audacity to say, “We’re…

NEUTRAL TERRITORY From farmers’ markets to bazaars, never look out of place in earthy summer shades. 1 Playtime Bell sleeves, cinched waist, and tailored shorts—Genny thought of everything to flatter and define for the chicest of silhouettes.

My style is masculine-tailored in winter, but once it warms up it turns floaty gypsy. I live in Etro’s paisley silk shirts all summer long. I love a good pileup of bracelets. Right now I’m wearing Santa Fe tribal bangles, vintage gold snake bracelets, and a Cartier Love bracelet that used to belong to my mother, Roberta. The one piece that stays consistent in my wardrobe no matter the season is an Etro cashmere Shaal Nur scarf. It’s as good for cold weather as it is for air-conditioning. One should always have fun and experiment with fashion because tomorrow is another day. As Lao Tzu said, “What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.” I’m so excited to be celebrating the 50th anniversary this…

THE FIRST THING I do when I wake up is meditate. I live in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris, and mornings are my favorite time of day, with all the natural light streaming in the windows. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of Maje this year, and I often find myself thinking back to 1998, the year I decided to launch my own collection. I had been working alongside my older sister, Evelyne Chétrite, for several years on her label, Sandro. Sourcing fabrics from wholesalers was my first summer job in high school. Some might find that a lot of responsibility at 16, but I loved it! At the time French fashion was dominated by luxury brands, and Sandro’s offering of high quality and stylish separates was unique in that it…

RAINBOW CONNECTION Christopher Bailey’s final collection for Burberry was an exuberant ode to the 162-year-old British heritage label’s colorful past. It featured the new Belt bag—with an oversize contrast strap inspired by the closure on the classic trench—and one amazing Technicolor dream cape. DOUBLE PLAY Jay-Z once claimed to have made the Yankees baseball cap “more famous than a Yankee can.” Now, with Gucci’s collaboration with MLB, Alessandro Michele takes his turn at bat.

ARIES MARCH 21–APRIL 20 Those who insist that you take steps to ensure that you succeed in a challenging area know what they’re talking about. If you’ve held back in the past from indulging your ambitious side, now will be the time to change, but don’t be so single-minded about reaching your goal that people give you a wide berth. LUCKY DAY: The 14th. Someone turns a potential disaster into a major victory. PISCES FEBRUARY 20–MARCH 20 A mix-up about money or a relationship may get you down unless you find a solution quickly. You’ll be relieved when someone agrees to help. Work closely to ensure that everything runs smoothly. LUCKY DAY: The 4th. Something done on impulse proves to be a confidence builder. AQUARIUS JANUARY 21–FEBRUARY 19 Having been…

THE BREEZY, UNDONE tresses on the spring runways have inspired women to take a low-maintenance approach to their own hair-care routine, especially color. “They want less fussy color that doesn’t seem like it’s from the salon,” says Lena Ott, a colorist and the owner of Suite Caroline in New York. But preserving even these subtle shades still requires TLC. “You should take care of your hair just like you would an expensive sweater,” says colorist Tracey Cunningham, who owns Mèche Salon in Los Angeles. She recommends gentle, color-safe products like Redken Color Extend Magnetics Sulfate-Free Shampoo ($19) and Conditioner ($20) to protect and extend her clients’ color. Read on for more advice from the pros on how to get and maintain a spring color that works for you. YOUTHFUL BLONDES…

PITY THE HANDS. They literally hold it all together, yet in terms of anti-aging they often get short shrift. And even as we’ve learned to wear sunscreen daily and partake of the treatments that help maintain a youthful visage and décolleté, our hands tend to be overlooked, says Beverly Hills dermatologist Harold Lancer, M.D. It leaves unlined faces paired with spotted, craggy hands, an incongruous sight that’s becoming more and more common. Waiting too long to seek treatment is definitely an issue, says Rachel Nazarian, M.D., a New York dermatologist. By the time most people notice the problems at, er, hand, they’re in their 40s, “and by then the damage is done,” she says. “And most patients don’t realize that a range of treatments exists for hands and delay asking…

Take inspiration from the past to reinvent the looks of the future? At the Spring 2018 couture shows, black-and-white looks ruled the runways (as evidenced by Maria Grazia Chiuri’s graphic coat at Dior). Eagle-eyed fashion insiders may notice that the fabric bears a striking resemblance to the cover of Bazaar’s March 15, 1938, issue (above), which was illustrated by A.M. Cassandre, the Art Deco master whose style expertly blended Surrealism and Cubism.…

FASHION has the power to instantly lift the spirit, and, let’s face it, we could all use a bit of escapism right now. As legendary Bazaar editor Diana Vreeland once famously said: “You gotta have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning.” In this issue, we showcase trends that evoke both a sense of optimism and timeless elegance. From pretty pastels (page 168) and dreamy shades of blue (page 182) to cool new denim (page 136) and investment watches you’ll wear for a lifetime (pictured here), our picks take the guesswork out of spring shopping. And don’t miss our skin-care special, which offers the easiest ways to look more gorgeous overnight (page 154). Enjoy the issue. SB= BUY ON SHOPBAZAAR.COM…

I’VE ALWAYS LOVED wearing black on the red carpet. It’s the color I wore to my first-ever awards show, and it’s the one I always come back to. Black is like Audrey Hepburn: absolutely classic. I’ve since had the privilege of wearing many amazing designer gowns, but back when I attended my first BAFTA Awards ceremony in London in 2011, it wasn’t like I had a rack of options to choose from. At the time I was working mainly in British television and theater, and I’d gotten a taste of celebrity the month before, when I won a Special Jury Prize at Sundance for my role in the film Like Crazy. It was an experimental, microbudget drama where we improvised the script, and the costume designer and I pulled together…

I long for the return to elegance and the joy of dressing for yourself and the people you love. I would also love to see a change in the irrepressible urge to be seen at any cost. During the day, my style is simple and mostly black: a chiffon tunic, silk trousers, plus a sweater from my Rainbow Week capsule. In the evening, it’s elegant, romantic, and timeless: a long, colorful chiffon gown. Earrings are my signature. I adore vintage pairs from Cartier, Boucheron, Belperron, and Boivin, as well as kinetic styles by the new French label Elie Top. My favorite accessory is a vintage embroidered-pearl evening bag that I bought at auction many years ago. My Apple AirPods are also a staple these days. I always wear high heels.…

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I found myself sitting in a spacious, blindingly white conference room at a talent agency surrounded by eight hyper-focused millennials. As an actor, writer, and producer, I had worked with this agency for years, but this was the first time I looked around the room and realized that I was the oldest person there. Still, I persisted. I’d written books (my fourth, Go Ask Ali, comes out this month) and created and starred in my own TV show, Nightcap. Now I wanted to do a film—a goofy, pie-in-your-face comedy. But the baby agents weren’t buying it. During the meeting I was told, quite bluntly, that there were “no roles for white middle-aged women.” They looked at me without a whiff of empathy. In their eyes I…

7:00 A.M. I’m more of an early riser than my sons, so mornings at my Southampton house are peaceful. My beauty routine is low-key—I might do a swipe of Nars mascara and Charlotte Tilbury pinky-nude lipstick—but I love being outdoors, and I always put on sunscreen. I’ll throw on Tory Sport track pants and an oversize sweater, and go work in my garden. I’m not winning any prizes for what I grow, but I find it therapeutic. 8:00 A.M. I play a lot of tennis, so I had a sunken court put in, which makes it easy to get in an early game with friends. We’ll play a couple of sets, and then I’ll relax with green tea and a good book. I’m currently reading James A. Michener’s historical novel…

Grande dame. Blouse, Carolina Herrera. Jewelry, Chopard. See Where to Buy for shopping details. CARMEN DELL’OREFICE was just 13 years old when she was discovered on a crosstown bus on New York’s 57th Street, some 73 years ago. Now, at 86, she’s still at it, which makes her the longest-working model in history. That’s her story and she’s sticking to it. And why not? It happens to be true. I’ve known Carmen (she goes by her first name only) for more than 20 years. But even today when I am in her company, I cannot take my eyes off her. That’s how strikingly beautiful she is. She’s also one of the sweetest people on the planet. There’s not a diva’s bone in her five-foot-nine-inch body—though she’d be the first to…

MODEL HANNAH FERGUSON had no qualms about hopping on a camel for her Bazaar shoot in Tangier, Morocco. “I grew up on a farm riding horses, so it came naturally to me,” says the Texas native. In fact, horses weren’t the only animals she knew her way around as a kid: “My siblings and I took care of sheep, goats, turkeys, ducks, geese, dogs, and cats. Sometimes we had to milk the goats so their udders wouldn’t crack from all the pressure.” Grace under fire clearly comes easily to the 25-year-old, who got her big break modeling for Sports Illustrated in 2014 wearing nothing but body paint. Last year, Ferguson made the leap to high fashion, walking in powerhouse shows like Marc Jacobs and Dolce & Gabbana. “I’m not your…
