Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Of all the fashion archetypes to come revving back, the society swan was perhaps the least expected. Mile-high Kenneth updos and double strands of pearls may be relegated to the distant past, but only a few episodes into the FX series

Carnivores, omnivores, and flexitarians, this one is for you. From sinking your teeth into a juicy steak or savoring the perfectly roasted chicken drumstick, eating meat is a common part of many diets. And among the many nutrients meats can provide, protein seems to get the most attention. “Protein is needed for several reasons,” says
Growing up, I have very clear memories of my mother dabbing Agua de Colonia behind each of my ears. At the ripe age of five, I felt like the fanciest girl in kindergarten and looked forward to my mother scenting me every morning before boarding the school bus. As a Mexican child, wearing perfume aligned
Courtesy of Jennifer Fisher In ELLE.com’s monthly series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. This month, we spoke to jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher, founder of her eponymous line of customizable fine jewelry and vast selection of hoop earrings. Ahead of
TikTok has a bad habit of self-diagnosis, and the recent “manic cleaning” trend is the proof. The label — which has already inspired videos with more than eight million views — shows people using their random bursts of energy to help tidy up at unprecedented speeds (or maybe it’s just the sped up camera footage).
Welcome to ELLE’s best spas of 2024. This is our inaugural guide to the best spas in the world, with each spa destination carefully selected, tested, and awarded by an ELLE editor. Each spa was reviewed based on our criterion, which included the uniqueness of the spa’s treatments, atmosphere, integration of local offerings, practitioner experience,
New York Fashion Week is just around the corner, but those in the know are well aware that what has become known as Fashion Month has already (unofficially) started. The latest fall/winter 2024 fashion shows took place in Denmark, home to It-girl brands including Ganni, Cecilie Bahnsen, and more, during Copenhagen Fashion Week—and if you’re
If you’re testing out an activewear brand for the first time, you might as well fly to LA and see how it fares against professional choreography. At least, such was my thinking for Fabletics’s 10-year anniversary celebration, featuring a dance class taught by professional dancer and choreographer for Lana del Rey, Alexandria Kaye. The dreamland-inspired
Keeping up with all the beauty trends that flood the runways and social media can feel like a Sisyphean task—the world of beauty often moves at breakneck speed. However, the ELLE.com beauty team’s eagle eyes spotted a couple of beauty trends that you can expect to see throughout the rest of 2024. The hair, makeup,
A Marc Jacobs show is always the highlight of New York Fashion Week—even if it takes place a week before. For the designer’s 40th anniversary, a collection that paid homage to paper dolls, childhood nostalgia, and wonderment, the stars turned out in their finest fashion moments at the Park Avenue Armory, including longtime friends of
If your leg day is feeling a little bit stale, shake things up with this fiery lower-body workout. All you need is a pair of dumbbells and a resistance band to help you get warmed up (but it’s still effective if all you have is your own bodyweight). Fitness instructor Jayen Wells leads you through
At the Magic Wand Barbershop in Baltimore, Maryland, there are only two rules: “Don’t touch the blinds, and don’t tell any lies,” says co-owner and barber Kevin Cooper. No one knows these rules better than my father. For decades, barbershops and salons have been safe havens in the Black community. The ritualistic journey, whether weekly
At this point, breaking the internet is part of a normal day for Taylor Swift. From her record-shattering Eras Tour to capturing the hearts of NFL fans everywhere, the star has been in the news a lot recently. When she stepped out for dinner in a pair of glittering hoops, I knew I wanted to
There are so many aspects of health that disproportionately affect the Black community, and yet less than six percent of US doctors are Black — a deficit that only further harms public health. Many of the Black folks who work in healthcare have dedicated their careers to combatting inequities. That’s why, this Black History Month,
Barbie may have dominated 2023, but for fall 2024, Marc Jacobs is thinking about another kind of doll entirely. “We talked about paper dolls,” makeup artist Diane Kendal tells ELLE.com of her chats with the designer ahead of his runway show at the Park Avenue Armory tonight, which celebrated 40 years of his eponymous brand.
Diamonds sketch our journeys in matters of the heart, from our reveries surrounding childhood crushes to lifelong commitments sealed with an engagement ring. As self-actualized adults, we can also take ownership of our own stories, embracing all forms of love—including loving ourselves. That’s why, inspired by Pandora I’m no longer waiting for a big moment—I’m
Last weekend, I was waiting in line at a Dunkin’ to order a matcha with plant-based milk when I learned the company is facing a $5 million lawsuit for charging extra for nondairy milk. The lawsuit alleges that this is a discriminatory practice toward those who can’t drink cow’s milk due to milk allergies or
Jessie Inchauspé wants you to know that her recent book, The Glucose Goddess, isn’t about dieting. Nor is it about losing weight. “It’s about your mental health,” she says at the beginning of our call. I’m not convinced. For the unfamiliar, Inchauspé is known to her millions of followers as the Glucose Goddess. On Instagram,
Diane von Furstenberg epitomizes the phrase “the woman, the myth, the legend.” What’s even more remarkable is that she hasn’t gatekept anything. Her life’s journey has been documented in more ways than one—in books, documentaries, and exhibitions, on TV shows—and she shows no intention of slowing down. “The only thing I agreed to do this
Hi, my name is Andi and Elmo is my therapist. The furry red monster is also a therapist to T-Pain, Chance The Rapper, Rainn Wilson, and Dr. Phil. If you’re confused, let us explain: Elmo, the beloved Sesame Street character, recently went viral after he tweeted, “Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?”
Hair is a deeply personal experience. It’s a part of your identity and how you present yourself to the world, and the slightest change can either make you feel euphoric or send you spiraling (who hasn’t cried because of a bad haircut or coloring job?). Entrusting a stylist to deliver your desired results is a
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Social media can sometimes feel like an endless Lucy-at-the-chocolate-factory procession of multicolored Stanley cups, mini Uggs, and assorted plastic doodads clogging our feeds. But when Mandy Lee posts a haul video, it doesn’t consist of her opening endless Shein packages. Instead,
