Selena Gomez’s soft, romantic makeup in her “De Una Vez” video was made using Gomez’s Rare Beauty line, of course, and came together through a collaboration between Gomez and her longtime makeup artist Melissa Murdick. “Selena has an eye for beauty, obviously, so I typically approach her with some of my own ideas—thank goodness for Pinterest boards—and see what input she has from there!” Murdick says. For “De Una Vez” specifically, Murdick pulled runway images from Dolce & Gabbana spring 2014, Alexander McQueen’s spring 2016 runway, and more as the two pinned down the final look. “Selena’s look was meant to be a bit romantic,” Murdick said. “I wanted her to look very beautiful and feminine to match the overall feel of the video.

Camille Vergnes on the Ultimate French-Girl Secret for No-Makeup Makeup (VOGUE)

In the head-spinning age of multistep skin-care routines and mic-drop makeup launches, The One is a space for minimalists to sound off on the single beauty product that’s found a longtime spot in their carefully curated routines. The interior designer Camille Vergnes may accent her Le Marais appartement with Japanese antiques, Vienna Secession touches, and a mohair Edward Wormley “Big Texan” sofa (not to mention a wardrobe filled with Art Deco jewelry and vintage Yves Saint Laurent blouses), but above the neck, the Toulouse-raised 30-something prefers to be more pared back. “In France, it’s about enhancing the beautiful features you already have in a subtle way,” says Vergnes, who complements her long, virgin lengths with just a hydrated, foundation-free complexion (courtesy of Deciem’s hyaluronic acid and the French...

Raise your hand if you had a Marie Kondo closet-purge moment at any point in the last six months. Yup, me too. If there's one thing to take from this dumpster fire of a year we just had, it's the idea of a stripped-back wardrobe. It's finally 2021, and as we ease back into getting dressed I suggest going back to the basics and leaving over-the-top fashion behind. Minimalism doesn't have to be boring or break the bank—it's all about purchasing classic items and elevated basics that will never go out of style. From splurge-worthy coats to affordable luxe sweaters, here are the pieces to get you started. 1) Classic Coat Christian VierigGetty Images A classic trench coat is a wardrobe must-have.

Today, at the inauguration ceremony for President Joe Biden in Washington, D.C., Lady Gaga took the stage and dazzled the nation with her moving performance of the national anthem. For the momentous occasion, the pop superstar wore a custom Schiaparelli Couture ball gown, accented by a large gold dove pin (an emblem of peace). She topped it off with an ornamental beauty look that will go down in history. Putting her own twist on an elegant updo, Gaga’s long, platinum lengths were braided into a duo of milkmaid braids and woven with sumptuous black ribbon. Adding a touch of softness, a few face-framing wisps were pulled out in the front, while a pair of red poppies, another nod to a peaceful future, were...

Fashion icon and former First Lady Michelle Obama attended the Biden-Harris Inauguration on Wednesday, showing her support for the new administration's highly-anticipated and historic day. When it came to her outfit, Obama did not disappoint, donning a magenta-colored jacket with matching monochromatic turtleneck sweater and wide-leg trousers. She completed the chic look with a gold belt, black leather gloves, a simple Christy Rilling black silk mask, and suede block-heeled boots by Stuart Weitzman; she wore her hair down in bouncy curls for the occasion. Obama's outfit was designed by Sergio Hudson, a Black designer from South Carolina who also dressed the Vice President-elect on Wednesday. Hudson explained on The Bakari Sellers Podcast that Obama's outfit was inspired by a look from his Fall '20 collection. "We did the pants instead a dress,...

Kim Kardashian West’s Next Trick? Skincare, Of Course (ELLE)

Of all the celebrity skincare routines out there, very few are as interesting—and expensive—as Kimberly Kardashian West's. After all, she is the one who helped popularize the "vampire facial" with a single selfie of her bloodied face in 2013. So it makes sense that the mogul is expanding her KKW Beauty brand to other offerings, including skincare. In June, Kardashian-West sold a 20 percent stake of her KKW Beauty for $200 million to Coty. Now that the deal is officially closed, Coty is rolling out its plans to make Kim K a whole lot richer. According to WWD, Coty plans to develop skincare, haircare, personal care, and nail products at some point in 2022. "Kim shares our true passion for beauty products, and this acquisition allows us to...

If you feel like you're in a constant state of lockdown fatigue—bogged down by the news cycle, uncertainty around the pandemic, and staying at home—you are far from alone. "Feeling apprehensive / hopeful / exhausted / hitting that pandemic wall. You?" wrote Padma Lakshmi on a recent Instagram post, summing up our collective mood these days. As we near month ten of social distancing in the throes of winter, the burnout is all too real. While nothing changes the current realities of the pandemic, gaining a deeper understanding of what's at play with this gradual, paralyzing feeling of lethargy—and how best to cope with it—can be helpful in powering through. Here, environmental psychologist Lee Chambers, whose practice focuses on wellbeing at work, breaks...

Fashion in 2020 has taken a turn. We traded in heels for slippers and dressed up to go nowhere. Designers reimagined the spring-summer 2021 season into digital presentations, masked events, staged runways, or opted out of showing altogether. Those that did were creative, but the successful collections were the ones empathetic to both the devastating and joyful events that occurred in quarantine. "I wanted to focus on the essence of things," creative director Anthony Vaccarello said in the press release for Saint Laurent's Summer21 collection, which premiered today. "I think it’s a sign of the times, but I didn’t want anything bleak or heavy." In a stunning video comprised of 66 looks, Vaccarello traded in the twinkling stage of the Eiffel Tower for the desert of North...

Why Facial Massage Is the Skin-Care Habit I’m Committing to in 2021 (VOGUE)

Since the pandemic began, my Instagram feed has been filled with face workouts and face tools. Every other scroll, I see someone gua sha–ing their face for a lymphatic massage, or another blowing their cheeks Dizzy Gillespie–style to work their muscles. Then there are all the tools that are marketed towards me: a tiny gilded piece that looks like a paint roller with spikes, a micro-current tool that resembles a sex toy and sends shocks through the skin to tone muscles, and a thin metal stick with a ball at the end to stimulate different muscles as an exercise of facial reflexology and detox. The before-and-afters are particularly mesmerizing: nasolabial folds are lifted, undereye bags are gone, and jowls are smoothed. Call...
