Available on ShopBAZAAR.com…

THOUGH FASHION’S chicest women vary in style and taste, they all share a trait: ease in their own skin. To that end, Audemars Piguet has updated its Millenary watch with a handwoven rose-gold bracelet designed to fit every woman’s wrist. From the timepiece’s diamond-studded case to the off-center mother-of-pearl dial, comfort never looked so good. PRESENTED BY AUDEMARS PIGUET…

My style is basically all or nothing. I’m either really over-the-top or very pared back. I’ve got a lot of vintage Vivienne Westwood, Balmain, and Alaïa. But day to day I like a Burberry mac with a trainer—I’m an Adidas Spezial girl. We just started doing ready-to-wear at Agent Provocateur. I like to mix it up: We’ve got a really cool tailored trouser suit that I wear with my Pink Floyd T-shirt, and I’ve worn the pajamas as outerwear. My style icons include a sea of people: Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. But Patsy and Eddy from Absolutely Fabulous are my favorite. More is more with them. That’s what fashion should be—fun! When my mom was younger, she always dressed super glamorous. I remember she had these amazing…

IMAGINE A GOLDEN PLAIN stretching as far as the eye can see. A tuft of dust rises on the horizon, distant at first but growing closer until, at last, in a great crashing wave, herds of wildebeests and zebras and gazelles hurtle across the African savanna. That’s the sort of experience Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley had in mind when designing The Safari Collection, their portfolio of four boutique properties located in Kenya’s wilderness. As native Kenyans and lifelong conservationists, the couple wanted to find a way to introduce people to their country while helping to sustain its wildlife and culture. Their solution: a string of luxury camps and lodges where guests can experience the region’s marvels firsthand. “Wild spaces are hard to find in the world today,” says Tanya. “Mikey…

THE VERY THOUGHT of the coming holidays fills me with a mixed grill of feelings ranging from joy and exhilaration (the carols! the candles!) to dread (almost everything else). The collective stress of people around me and in the world is everywhere: the expense, the presents to buy, the dozens of plates of unwanted cookies I will accidentally eat. I mean, oy gevalt. They say in rooms of recovery that the willingness to change comes from pain, and the pain I always felt beginning the day after Thanksgiving inspired me to create a 5 Step Survival Guide. It has helped me, and I hope it helps you. 1 PRACTICE ACCEPTANCE Whether you like it or not, you can’t change the holidays. Resistance is futile, and acceptance is the beginning of…

SKIN “Taking care of yourself, doing face masks, exfoliating—all of these things really do help.” Fresh face: “I was taught to take off all of my makeup every night, but if I’ve been working all day I’ll use a cleansing wipe to make it quick and easy. They’re great for traveling because you can get them through security.” Sun protection: “As a fair-skinned girl, I’ve worn sun cream since I was a kid. I wear Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 100+ on my face every day.” Anti-aging cream: “I use retinol at night. I love Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair because it works so well, and you can buy it anywhere.” MAKEUP & HAIR “My personal beauty icons are Catherine Deneuve and Grace Kelly. Their beauty is timeless.”…

HARPER’S BAZAAR: How did you choose your pet’s name? MARGOT ROBBIE: To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books, and all the characters have such fantastic names. KARL LAGERFELD: It was not my choice. She was born in a year when all the cats of her breed had to start with “C.” I got her with this, at first view, horrible name. Now I love it! HB: What do you and your dog have in common, and what about your personalities is different? MR: We both like rosé and are grumpy in the mornings. Boo is utterly disinterested in food. KL: As a human being, Choupette is better than me. HB: How did you come to adopt your pet? MR: I searched Web sites that list puppies at animal…

“WE MUST BE WILLING TO MAKE OTHERS UNCOMFORTABLE.” Roxane Gay reflects on the current resistance and its roots in the women’s liberation movement, as re-created here by Katie Holmes POLITICIANS often call for civility and decorum in protest, as if challenging the status quo is supposed to be a well-mannered affair. Such people imagine that change requires politely asking those in power to cede the control they have wielded with impunity. Such is not the case. Now, as we approach the third year of the Trump presidency, it’s a useful time to think about feminist protest and women’s liberation, a movement that was complicated, messy, and unruly, but perhaps too well mannered. In the 1960s and ’70s, women entered the workplace in unprecedented numbers while still managing their households. They were constrained…

OPRAH WINFREY: First, let me just say: Nothing makes me happier than sitting down with a good read. So when I realized—in the preface!—what an extraordinary book was coming, I was so proud of you. You landed it. The book is tender, it is compelling, it is powerful, it is raw. Millions of people have been wondering how you’re doing, how’s the transition, and I think there’s no better example than the toast story. Can you share the toast story? MICHELLE OBAMA: Well, I start the preface right at one of the first weeks after we moved into our new home after the transition—our new home in Washington, a couple miles away from the White House. It’s a beautiful brick home, and it’s the first regular house, with a door…

The holidays offer a wonderful opportunity to reconsider what’s most meaningful to us. And who better to lead that conversation than Oprah Winfrey? In this issue, she sits down with former first lady Michelle Obama to discuss love, race, and the importance of optimism. Elsewhere, we revisit iconic moments of activism that changed the world, and showcase death-defying feats of balance, courtesy of our cover star, Margot Robbie. Robbie’s dog, Boo Radley, also makes a cameo, posing alongside Karl Lagerfeld’s famous feline, Choupette, in an original sketch by the designer. And just in time for gift giving, I am delighted to launch a new Instagram franchise, Glenda Bailey’s Great Buy. In these daily social posts, I’ll share my favorite fashion and beauty finds, from investment pieces to can’t-miss bargains. ’Tis…

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23–DECEMBER 21 In December, refuse to be pressured by family or friends who insist that you do things their way. But don’t push forward with ideas of your own that may prove overambitious. LUCKY DAY: December 1. Come January, conversations about money will begin as you and those around you realize that decisions must be made. LUCKY DAY: January 19. CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 20 An intensely personal matter may seem confusing at first, but by mid-December everything will become clear. LUCKY DAY: December 16. In January, while you may resent being forced to take a stand on a complicated issue, it will show others a side of you that’s rarely revealed. LUCKY DAY: January 30. SCORPIO OCTOBER 24–NOVEMBER 22 While you’re busy juggling your private and work lives…

PERFECT LIGHTING There’s a reason #glow has almost three million more tagged posts than #contour on Instagram: When applied correctly, highlighter makes even the most sallow complexion look lit from within. And with makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury’s new trio, it’s easier than ever to find the right hue for your skin. The pale shade flatters fair types, while rose gold and deep gold work best on darker tones, she says. BOTTLE SERVICE Leave it to masters of whimsy Viktor&Rolf to disrupt the fragrance world. The newest iteration of Flowerbomb is customizable, from the bottle color to its accessories. Ruffle, bow, or ribbon, anyone? CURVES AHEAD Part styler, part magic trick, Dyson’s new wand uses high-velocity air to coerce hair around the barrel, so you never end up with that dreaded…

AMBER COWAN’S delicate glass sculptures are a study in contradiction: Made of pressed glassware salvaged from now defunct American glass factories, each of her works raises questions of rebirth and transformation but ultimately represents an entirely new artistic ecosystem unto itself—one suspended between the fanciful and the ominous.

1 ART & SOUL Celine isn’t the only fashion house collaborating with friends in the art world this season. Demna Gvasalia teamed up with filmmaker Jon Rafman to produce a video-art meditation on technology for Balenciaga, and Akris designer Albert Kriemler worked with the Romanian artist Geta Brătescu on striking abstract graphics for the brand’s signature Ai bags. (The collaboration turned out to be one of Brătescu’s last projects—she died in September, shortly before the show, at the age of 92.) 2 LOGOMANIA In the latest installment of the logo renaissance, the spring shows saw a flurry of iconographic reinventions. Our favorite: Chanel’s cheeky “CHA” “NEL.” 3 SHINE ON Forget subtlety: It’s all about high-wattage sparkle. At Jeremy Scott, lips were polished off with a healthy dusting of glitter, and…

There were days when Margot Robbie would walk out of the makeup trailer on the set of her new film, Mary Queen of Scots, and castmates couldn’t bear to look at her. I’d say, ‘Hey, how’s your weekend?’” says the 28-year-old actress, in her best exaggeration of her native Australian Gold Coast accent. “But they wouldn’t even get close to me. It was very alienating. And I felt very lonely. It was an interesting social experiment.” Her transformation into Queen Elizabeth I, who was scarred by smallpox as a young woman, took three and a half hours of intensive hair and makeup every day. “They’d start with a head wrap,” says Robbie. “Gelling and pinning my hair down. Then we’d do a bald cap.” There were different wigs for different…
