What Was: The Minimalist’s Guide to Coachella
There is a version of Coachella dressing that feels obvious. And then there is the version that feels right. This season, the most compelling looks are not built on excess, but on restraint. Not everything needs to be fitted. In fact, the balance between structure and ease is what defines the look. A longer short with a slim tank. An oversized shirt with bare legs. A slightly boxy blazer over something minimal.
Anna Wintour Lands Her First Vogue Cover
The article that accompanies the cover was written by Malle, but is more of a lightly edited transcript of a conversation between Streep, Wintour, and filmmaker Greta Gerwig (who directed Streep in 2018’s ‘Little Women’).

Lily Collins Will Play Audrey Hepburn in a New Drama About the Making of Breakfast at Tiffany’s
