Matthieu Blazy Debuts His First Chanel Cruise Collection in Biarritz

The 2027 cruise shows have officially commenced, which means the fashion world is embarking on a world tour as top brands present their midseason offerings in some of the globe’s most glamorous locations. Chanel kicked things off (and set the bar high) on April 28 with a show in Biarritz, France. There, Nicole Kidman, Tilda Swinton, A$AP Rocky, and Sofia Coppola sat front row at Le Casino Municipal to take in designer Matthieu Blazy’s debut cruise offering.

Not only is the seaside town picturesque, it also holds an important place in fashion history. In 1915, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel opened the maison’s first-ever couture house in the Basque city, thus setting forth a new proposition for modern dressing. In fact, it’s been said that Coco created the idea of resort collections when she launched a line in 1919, inspired by the women of Biarritz. In homage to the Mademoiselle herself, Blazy opened with a version of Chanel’s original little black dress, grounding the collection in one of the brand’s most radical inventions. “Much is said about the revenge dress, this might be the original one,” he stated in the show’s notes. From there, he expanded outward, presenting a collection that oscillated between whimsy (see: fishtail mermaid gowns, “heel cap” shoes that left the foot almost completely bare, and one enormous beach tote) and the classics (black tweeds, smart florals, and mariner stripes) thus presenting options for both dreamers and purists.

While Chanel is sticking to its home country of France, most other brands are taking their cruise collections to the United States this year. Demna has chosen New York as the setting for his first Gucci cruise show. Like Biarritz and Chanel, the Big Apple plays a part in Gucci’s history: it’s where the brand opened the first store outside of Italy in 1953, setting the stage for global expansion. Louis Vuitton, similarly, will hold its show in New York. Jonathan Anderson, meanwhile, who is presenting his first resort show for Dior, will be staging his presentation at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s newly opened David Geffen Galleries. It seems that before soccer takes over North America for the FIFA World Cup this summer, fashion is paving the way. And while you can’t buy tickets to a fashion show, you can admire the clothes from afar. Here, a look at all the highlights of the cruise season. Check back often as we track the latest and greatest to hit the runways.

24 Mother’s Day Gifts W Editors Are Eyeing This Year

Ever wish you could ask some cool, tapped-in people what they’re selecting for a present? You’re in luck. Below, 15 W editors answer the question: what are you giving—or hoping to receive—for Mother’s Day?

As the temperature climbs and the seasons start to shift, I find myself already preparing for summer. These blankets from The Row are perfect for keeping warm on a windy evening at the beach. Each piece is so beautiful and unique. —Sara Moonves, editor in chief

If you think face lotion with SPF isn’t fancy enough for a Mother’s Day gift, you haven’t met Naturopathica’s new Calendula Hydrating Lotion. Made with high-quality knotgrass—an antioxidant-rich botanical that smooths skin texture—and zinc oxide, this product provides a physical barrier that blocks UVA and UVB rays, and it won’t leave a white cast. The consistency is light and hydrating, and the smell is heavenly; the lotion feels refreshing and cooling on the skin. This is for the discerning mother who won’t take anything less than the best. —Maxine Wally, senior digital editor

On the other hand…why not go big or go home?! My mother was the first person who taught me that every lady needs a bag—and top-handle lady bags were everywhere on the runways for fall 2026, giving me lots of Mother’s Day shopping inspiration. I love this black leather version from Gucci, which features the house’s signature horsebit and green-and-red stripe. —M.W.

When giving a Mother’s Day gift that is both personal and enduring, an item for the home feels extra special. Stockholm design house Svenskt Tenn is beloved for its textiles—especially the vibrant floral prints created in collaboration with Austrian designer Josef Frank. As I prepare for a new baby, I’ve been particularly drawn to the idea of using one of these richly patterned fabrics to reupholster a sofa for a nursery. —Nora Milch, executive fashion director

This box is such a thoughtful, well-curated collection of treats. You will find everything from a great cup of coffee to olive oil, soap, and hand cream here—all luxurious, tasty items that she will enjoy daily. —Allia Alliata di Montereale, style director

You really can’t go wrong with something as timeless as a Coco Crush bracelet. I like the idea that it’s not just for me—it’s something enduring, a piece I can pass down to my daughter. —Jade Vallario, senior accessories editor

Dolce & Gabbana lends sunnies a glam upgrade. We think this is the year’s coolest aviator remix, created in collaboration with Ray-Ban. This is an ultrafabulous present for the mom who lives for high fashion and effortlessly serves as your (and your friends’) ultimate style inspo. Finished with a leather case that doubles as a chic accessory, it’s a statement piece worthy of her influence. —Maryam Lieberman, contributing beauty editor

I’d love a pair of vintage Victorian chandelier diamond earrings from Briony Raymond for a truly timeless Mother’s Day gift. There’s something so special about their old-world romance and craftsmanship; the pieces feel less like a purchase and more like an heirloom. —N.M.

Tried and true, this classic hardly needs an introduction—it’s a perfect dose of Florence, wherever you are. If your mother’s office doubles as the dog’s favorite napping spot, she’ll especially appreciate this piece. I’ve been repurchasing it for her year after year and plan to keep doing so until she somehow tires of the scent—which, realistically, may be never. —Andrew Dasco, visuals editor

Is it rude to insinuate that the mom in your life could use an antiaging device? Maybe. But she probably could, and the Series 2 Current Body LED red light mask works wonders. I use mine daily; I’ve recommended it to just about everyone—mother or not—that I know. —Sally Law Errico, managing editor

I’m gifting this elegant silk scarf to my friend who is currently trying to get pregnant via IVF. She’s been working really hard to achieve her dream of having a baby and she deserves something luxe and elevated to remind her just how special she is. —M.W.

The best gifts are the ones you don’t forget—even if they don’t last. My mother was born on Easter Sunday, which makes Louis Vuitton’s chocolate egg bag by Maxime Frédéric doubly appropriate. Part objet, part dessert, it’s indulgent, impractical, and ridiculously over the top—the kind of thing she’ll remember and simile about long after it’s gone. —Katie Connor, executive digital director

With summer vacation approaching, I can’t get this sunny and colorful Flamenco Clutch from Loewe’s Paula’s Ibiza line out of my head. I think I’ll gift it to my cousin, who is adopting a child in June of next year—so exciting, and right on time to hit the beach! —M.W.

There is no doubt that I get my handbag obsession from my mom. We’re constantly trading pieces; I’ve been hanging onto her orange Bottega Veneta for a few years now. It only seems fair to fill the hole I have left in her closet with the Jacquemus Valerie. It’s so sleek and classic, but still fun thanks to the silver domed closure and bright color. Plus, Simon named the design after his mother—how apropos! —Carolyn Twersky Winkler, staff writer

My mom and I have recently been discussing wearing elevated loungewear at the house. While I am personally a Skims loungewear addict, I know my mother will adore High Sport because of how the brand encapsulates luxury, simplicity, and comfortability all in one. I would love to surprise her with a cardigan (in purple, because she loves a pop of color) and a pair of their classic kick flare trousers in black. She will be so sleek and chic at home! —Tori López, fashion market editor

The truth is, my mom and I both need a pair of these. She’d wear them with a pleated midi skirt and a button-down (her uniform), and I’d don them with long jean shorts and my favorite cotton long-sleeve T-shirt (Leset). The red patent leather and three-centimeter heel is just right to feel cute and festive, but not overdressed at Mother’s Day brunch. —Oona Wally, associate visuals director

For the effortlessly cool, downtown mom—just in time for sun-soaked days ahead—these aviators from Chimi are her perfect sidekick for whenever spring and summer take her. Handcrafted in Acetate Renew, a blend of bio-based and certified recycled materials, these shades don’t just look good, they do good, too. And when the moment calls for a little “me time,” she can simply slip them on and enjoy a stylish escape from the chaos. —Che Baez, visuals editor

This one is for the moms and moms-to-be who love a sleek swipe of shimmer. Tory Burch’s new Sublime Shimmer Body Oil hydrates with vitamin E, sunflower seed, and jojoba oils, while carrying the classic Sublime scent of leather, rose, and mandarin. One application and your skin will appear more radiant and lit from within. —M.W.

I love my mom so much, and she’s been eyeing the Coach Tabby shoulder bag lately. With more brunch dates planned, the weather warming up, and a trip to visit our family in Barbados on the horizon, I’d love to get her something she’s been wanting—a piece she can wear and feel really good in. —Shaliqua Alleyne, associate visuals editor

For the mother-figure in your life—because they come in many forms, from friends, to your partner’s mom—this classic, delicate bracelet is a timeless way to show your appreciation. Designed for effortless, everyday wear, it drapes perfectly on the wrist with an easy elegance that goes with everything. Made with lab-grown gemstones, it’s exceptionally durable and resistant to scratches, so they can wear it always, and never think twice. —C.B.

The only thing my mom loves more than a good bag is a good pair of shoes (another obsession I inherited from her), but she struggles to find pairs that are both cute and comfortable. It seems every time we go out together, she complains about her footwear (sorry, mom, but you know it’s true). That’s why she would love a pair of Vivaia’s sneakerinas. I just wore them to Coachella—where I walked an average of 30,000 steps a day—and they passed the comfort test with flying colors. Plus, I got a million compliments. I am obsessed with this gorgeous yellow color, and I know my mom will love them, too. —C.T.W.

M stands for “mother.” Get your mom one of those beautiful French terry sweaters—a limited edition release, created by Abyme and the late artist Carolee Schneemann, along with The Artist’s Institute, New York. —Tobias Holzmann, design director

Piecework’s jigsaw puzzles are a fun and inexpensive way to give a chic gift—each one features a fabulous photo, and includes a QR code to a themed Spotify playlist. The puzzles range from 45 to 1,000 pieces, and those pieces are cut sharply enough to satisfy the real puzzle snobs out there (no frayed edges or annoying pieces that “fit” in multiple spots). I love the Slim Aarons Summer Set, which includes the 1,000-piece puzzles Sun Basking, Positano Beach, and Dining Al Fresco on Capri. —S.L.E.

Connor Storrie, Teyana Taylor & More Turn Out for Tiffany & Co.'s Blue Book 2026 Gala

Connor Storrie photographed by Hunter Abrams

Spring gala season began in earnest last night as Tiffany & Co. celebrated the debut of its Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden high jewelry collection. For the occasion, the Park Avenue Armory was transformed into a lush landscape inspired by the gardens at Bunny Mellon’s Oak Springs estate. There, guests including Connor Storrie, Teyana Taylor, Rosé, Greta Lee, Amanda Seyfried, Chase Sui Wonders, Gabrielle Union, and Dwyane Wade—all wearing the jeweler’s latest designs—mingled over cocktails before taking their seats for dinner beneath an ivy-covered arch trellis.

The choice of venue was particularly significant. In 1881, Louis Comfort Tiffany was commissioned to design some of the Armory’s ornate interiors, including the storied Silver Room, making the space the perfect backdrop for the house’s most ambitious high jewelry unveiling. A host of models were on hand wearing the collection, which riffs on the flora and fauna motifs made famous by Jean Schlumberger.

The evening was capped off by a surprise performance by none other than the Elusive Chanteuse herself, Mariah Carey, who sang such hits as “Touch My Body” while Taylor and Rosé sang and danced along in the crowd. Here, a look at the starry New York night.

Introducing WYouth, a New Publication from W for the Next Generation

The eldest members of Gen Z are 29 years old: they had Facebook in elementary school, Instagram in middle school, Snapchat in high school, and TikTok in college. The youngest members were born in 2012, the same year Tinder was invented. Instead of pacifiers, they had iPhone screens. And yet, 71% of Gen Z feel print magazines have a stronger sense of authenticity than digital ones, according to a recent poll.

Enter WYouth (pronounced double youth), W Magazine’s upcoming teenage sister publication rooted in W’s rich archives and thoughtfully reimagined for a new generation. Ava Nirui, the former creative director of Heaven by Marc Jacobs—the brand’s youth-focused line—will helm the project alongside W Editor in Chief Sara Moonves. “The idea for WYouth came from a conversation with Sofia Coppola and Sara Moonves, where we were thinking about the magazines we grew up with when we were teenagers,” says Nirui. “They were so influential and shaped all of the things we were obsessed with. We want to bring back that spirit, but for today—through pop culture experimentation and physical media, inspiring the next generation on style, beauty, and fashion history through the perspective of W Magazine.” Coppola, alongside her teenage daughter Cosima Croquet, have been enlisted as contributing editors.

“I am so grateful to Sofia for introducing me to Ava,” Moonves says. “Ava has such an incredible understanding of culture and fashion, and how they intersect to create something bigger. She not only recognizes emerging trends, but actively shapes them, bringing fresh, thoughtful ideas to an audience hungry for something that was truly designed with them in mind. Collaborating with this team to create something in W’s signature, elevated style, with a hint of nostalgia for a new generation of W readers has been truly a dream.”

The first print issue will debut in September 2026 and will publish biannually. Naturally, WYouth will be half the size of a regular W issue—which means it fits perfectly in a backpack. Follow along on Instagram at @wyouth and on wmagazine.com for more.

The 14 Biggest Accessory Trends From the Fall 2026 Runways

The fall 2026 shows may have ended in March, but the trends found on the runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris are still fresh on our minds. While each label presented a distinct vision for the season, as always, there were certain themes and through lines that connected the collections. Here are 14 of our favorite accessories trends, which you’ll likely see everywhere come September.

Stuck in Customs

Fine feathered shoes at Prada, Dior’s snakeskin purses, fuzzy bags at Chanel—this trend requires a handheld carry. Exotic skins, furs, and accessories inspired by fish and wildlife were all over the fall 2026 runways. And although most of these materials are faux, they’re still bound to get flagged by customs agents.

Touch Grass

One of the most pervasive moods of the season was the desire to unplug. Through their collections and show details, designers urged us to go touch grass, bringing the outdoors to the catwalk. Models walked down mossy paths in floral earrings at Miu Miu, over grassy mounds with bags on sticks at Louis Vuitton, and in lily pad shoes surrounded by lily ponds at Dior.

Private Eyes

Going outside, however, requires sun protection—and designers were especially concerned with the eyes in particular. Wide wrap-around shield sunglasses were popping up on runways all month long, including tortoise glasses at Tory Burch and a rose-colored version from Celine.

To Have and to Hold

Fall 2026 clutches are meant to carry more than just your essentials. At Michael Kors, the bags looked like red silk napkins from a dinner party; Chanel’s accessories resembled a wrinkled swatch of metallic wrapping paper. Clutches have a tendency to blend in, but these styles bore features that were much more than meets the eye. Consider Hermès, where a clandestine watch was tucked underneath the bag’s clasp.

Petite Folie

This season marks the return of the minaudière. Some designers—like Jonathan Anderson at Dior and Demna for Gucci—swapped out big bags for these handheld jewels. No, you can’t fit your phone inside them, but they add sparkle, uniqueness, and true whimsy to your look.

Bling It On

“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off,” Coco Chanel famously said. Clearly, designers weren’t playing by this rule for fall 2026. Models at Dries Van Noten, Louis Vuitton, and Saint Laurent were working double-duty jewels, adorned with both earrings and heavy necklaces at the same time. Go for bold!

All the Fixings

Beaded and embellished bags ruled the runways, from Loewe to Gucci. At Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Fendi debut, embellished purses were the stars of the season. Floral embroidery at Valentino made this trend hard to ignore.

From Car to Carpet

These shoes were made for arriving, not walking. For fall, we are coveting fragile footwear crafted from satin, covered in glitter, and adorned with embroidery and fringe. They might be too delicate for the elements, but they are perfect for a party.

Flap Back

Some items never go out of style, and the flap bag is a true testament to this fact. If you weren’t lucky enough to snag Matthieu Blazy’s debut maxi flap bag when the Chanel collection dropped in stores, these choices are strong alternatives. From the puffy take at Bottega Veneta to the crossbody at Coach, you too can be a “flapper” this season.

Stocking Stuffers

Trending across the runways this season? Colorful tights and slinky socks. Take Moschino, which paired evening looks with pea green stockings. Dries Van Noten’s wool socks came with a nature-inspired print, and Marni tapped into a schoolgirl look with its burnt-orange socks.

Hattitude...

Hats for fall 2026 set out with the message that attitude and boldness go hand in hand. At Hodakova, toppers did not frame just the head, but the whole face. Issey Miyake made fluid felt creations while Vivienne Westwood took the top hat to new heights.

...and Major Brims

On the other hand, simplicity and construction were top of mind for the chicest hats of the season. Phoebe Philo made her caps smooth around the edges and brimmed below the eyes. Michael Kors took everyone’s favorite bucket hat and delivered it in leather. And at Yohji Yamamoto, the sun hat got a high-fashion upgrade.

Knitting Club

The best thing about this trend is, if you can’t afford it, you can make it. Knit accessories were a go-to piece for warmth on the runways. Skully-esque beanies at Chloé and Bottega Veneta fit right in with the eccentric scarves at Dries Van Noten and Stella McCartney.

That’s a Wrap!

Everyone’s favorite three words on a photoshoot set proved a pervasive trend for the season. Wrap scarves were a popular accessory for not only the neck but also the waist. Inflatable scarves at Loewe and standout satin scarves at Celine put spins on a classic while Loro Piana and Saint Laurent created a defined silhouette on the body.

The 17 Best Lip Balms & Glosses of All Time, According to W Editors

Choosing the perfect lip balm for your pout is an entirely personal endeavor. Do you prefer a slick gloss or a sticky one? Tinted? Scented or nonscented? Is the inclusion of SPF a nonnegotiable? Depending on the person you’re asking, the answers may vary. Below, we tapped W magazine’s editors and contributors to put forth their choices for the best lip balms, glosses, and treatments they’ve ever used. You’ll surely find an option that fits your preferences, whether you’re looking for a luxe option or a drugstore mainstay.

Simply the best, in any season. Out of all the lip balms I have tried in my lifetime (a lot), it’s the most nourishing, smooth, and longest-lasting one. Simply put: It works, and it isn’t full of frills. The balm provides hydration to my lips with no fuss. —Maxine Wally, Senior Digital Editor

I love a fancy-shmancy lip balm as much as the next person, but I’ve yet to find something that I pull out more often than Aquaphor’s repair stick. It is lightweight, has no major fragrance and, best of all, features SPF. —Matthew Velasco, News Writer

When I’m dehydrated or in a colder climate and notice my lips becoming chapped, I do three things: Drink more water with electrolytes, take vitamin E supplements, and layer on the La Mer balm, day and night. In the evenings, I’ll apply a thicker layer before bed and use a clean toothbrush to gently slough off any dead skin. Then I wipe the balm off with a tissue and leave the residue on my lips to be absorbed while I sleep. This routine gets my lips back to normal. I don’t use it every day, mind you, only in winter and summer when my lips tend to get extra-dry. —Maryam Lieberman, Contributing Beauty Editor

This is one of my favorites because it’s substantial. (If that’s not your thing, you might consider Rhode’s range of regular Peptide Lip products.) The Lip Boost is so thick, it even requires added muscle when squeezing it out of the bottle. There is a tingle here as well; be forewarned. But it stays in place and doesn’t have a scent, which I adore. —M.W.

This is a sheer lipstick, lip balm, and lip tint all in one. What’s not to love? —Allia Alliata, Style Director

For years, I struggled to find a balm that was rich and nourishing enough to soothe my cracked, parched lips. Once I discovered Eadem’s exfoliating Le Chouchou lip mask, the search was over. The product is thick, glossy without being sticky, and incredibly hydrating—perfect for winter but also great for year-round use if you have dry skin like I do. —Ashley Simpson, Contributing Writer

This is, hands down, my favorite nighttime lip treatment. Tatcha’s Kissu is sumptuous and moisturizing and truly works. To be honest, I use it during the day too. It’s that good! —M.W.

This product is perfect for hydration and shine, and it’s great for everyday wear to keep your lips glossy and healthy. It works as both lip care and as makeup, and I personally love the silicone applicator. —Kayla Perno, Fashion & Accessories Assistant

I put this on first thing in the morning and right before I go to bed. It’s my constant go-to for keeping my lips hydrated and smooth. —A.A.

At first sight, I loved the cool, funky shape of the packaging on Sulwhasoo’s Glowing Lip Balm. But after my first use, I was hooked on the product itself. The perfect, smooth consistency and uncloying scent (along with the 24-hour hydration it provides) makes this my favorite lip treatment. —Oona Wally, Associate Visuals Director

Celine Beauté just launched a new collection of tinted matte lip balms, and we’re already obsessed. The line is an extension of the Le Rouge Celine lipstick collection launched in 2024—but this time, the French brand has taken things one step further, creating eight shades with buildable color, plus a refillable case. —Jade Vallario, Accessories Editor

I first heard about Rosebud Salve from Mary Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, who identified it as their favorite lip balm in an interview many years ago. I was in middle school at the time and immediately hit the drugstore to purchase it. Decades later and it’s still a go-to that works like a superstrong Vaseline to protect my lips. Sometimes I’ll put it on my knuckles during winter, when my skin gets very dry. —M.W.

While technically a matte lipstick, Parisian makeup artist Violette Serrat’s sheer balm sticks are perhaps the best tinted lip product I’ve tried. The texture is heavenly, the buildable hues are natural—never too much—and ingredients like lapacho-tree extract help reduce fine lines. —A.S.

The Korean fragrance and lifestyle brand Nonfiction has been around since 2019—but 2026 has proved a pivotal year for the brand founded by creative director Haeyoung Cha. Earlier this month, Nonfiction opened its very first U.S. store—and the first outside of Asia—on New York City’s Lower East Side. At 38 Orchard Street, you’ll find the Charlap Hyman & Herrero–designed space, which features limewashed walls and oxblood-tiled floors. After a stroll through the art-filled boutique, I went home with this incredible lip product, which enriches with plant-based ingredients to provide extra nourishment, hydration, and elasticity. The honey flavor isn’t too overpowering, either—it’s balanced out by lemon, grapefruit, and nectarine. —M.W.

This is the perfect ultra-lightweight hydrating gloss. It’s filled with green pea peptides, upcycled raspberry extract, and shea butter, all sourced from a farm in Sicily. As a bonus, it also tastes amazing. —A.S.

I always come back to my trusty C.O. Bigelow shea butter lip balm, which I’ve been using since my best friend introduced me to it in seventh grade. It’s been around for at least two decades and for good reason. No. 303 is moisturizing, shiny, and sleek without being too sticky, and best of all, it smells delicious—even without any artificial fragrance or colorants. (It’s also not tested on animals.) More to love: the slanted-tip applicator, the soft matte feel of the bottle itself, and the fact that it can be worn both under and over lipstick. —Claire Valentine McCartney

K-beauty has always been a step ahead, and Sulwhasoo’s wrinkle-targeting tinted lip balm is no exception. It’s luminous, velvety on application, and packed with collagen and other fine-line-smoothing ingredients. The sinuous sculptural case makes it a product you can leave on display. —A.S.

'The Devil Wears Prada 2': Everything to Know, Release Date, Cast, Plot

Moviestore/Shutterstock

Just when you thought it was safe to wear polyester, The Devil Wears Prada is back. Nearly two decades after the original film first strutted into theaters, a sequel is headed to theaters, even if Anne Hathaway once completely swore off the possibility.

The follow-up has been a topic of discussion for years now—really, since the original came out in the mid-aughts—and has received varying degrees of excitement from its stars. But in 2024, Hathaway and co-star Stanley Tucci confirmed the official announcement with an Instagram post memorializing some of the original film’s most quotable lines. Later, Hathaway posted a TikTok saying that she was heading to “werk.” Her outfit of choice? A knit sweater in cerulean blue, of course.

Last summer, photographers caught Hathaway during her first day on set. Holding onto what appeared to be a newspaper, she wore a long, ankle-length skirt in light denim, black open-toe sandals, and a white tank top. Coupled with the pinstripe suit set shared to Instagram, it looks like Andy Sachs is leaning into her “Office Siren” side. (And Just Like That... designer Molly Rogers—who also worked under Patricia Field on the first film—will be behind the film’s costumes.)

Christopher Peterson

Here, everything to know about The Devil Wears Prada 2:

What is The Devil Wears Prada 2 about?

It’s an understatement to say a lot has changed in the magazine industry since 2006—the days of expense accounts and black cars are long gone. The Devil Wears Prada 2 will certainly lean into that difference and is set in the cutthroat world of modern digital media, with a wiser (and older) Miranda Priestly at the tail end of her career.

According to Variety, the sequel “follows Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.”

This diverges from Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, Lauren Weisberger’s sequel to the original novel. That story centers on Andy Sachs's wedding, now the EIC of a bridal magazine.

Given that Anna Wintour, whom Miranda has always been rumored to be based on, recently stepped down from her role as Editor in Chief of American Vogue after 37 years (though not from Vogue entirely), the timing of the film couldn’t be better.

Is there a Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer?

The final trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 was released on April 6, and gives the most insight into the plot yet. Miranda is going through some sort of scandal, and Andy can either help her through it or use the moment to write a tell-all exposé about her old boss. It’s soundtracked by a new original song, “Runway,” by Lady Gaga and Doechii. Watch below:

On March 12, 2026, a new teaser dropped that sees Miranda show up at a sleeping Andy’s apartment and demand that she get back to work, just like old times. At the end of the clip, the Runway boss delivers a vaguely inappropriate line about a photoshoot gone wrong, prompting her younger workers (Simone Ashley, for one) to cringe in embarrassment.

The first official trailer for the film dropped on February 1, 2026 and features Andy returning to visit Miranda and Nigel at the Runway offices, where Miranda appears not to recognize (or at least to acknowledge) her former assistant. Watch below:

The first DWP2 teaser was released on November 12, 2025. While not an official trailer, it still gave fans a glimpse of Andy and Miranda 2.0. It starts with a view of Miranda’s heels (Valentino, surprisingly) as she struts her way through the Runway office to an elevator. Once inside, she’s greeted by her former employee. “Miranda,” Andy says to the frosty fashionista. “Took you long enough,” she replies.

Aptly soundtracked to Madonna’s “Vogue,” the short teaser also features short looks at scenery from the film, including a photoshoot fitting and the cameo-filled Met Gala moment.

Will Adrian Grenier return as Nate?

No, Grenier will not be returning as Andy’s college boyfriend, sous-chef Nate Cooper, Entertainment Weekly confirmed. Even though the original film ends with Hathaway’s Andy choosing her personal life over work as she chucks her work phone into a fountain in Paris (and then has breakfast with Nate, who says he’ll be pursuing his dream of becoming a chef in Boston), it’s still hard to imagine she and Nate would have stayed together forever.

And though Nate was originally received as a victim of Andy’s ambition, that reading of the film hasn’t aged well, and both fans and Grenier himself have since agreed that Nate, with his insecure neediness, was the actual villain of the film.

In a previous interview with EW, Grenier said, “When that whole thing [about Nate being the ‘real villain’ of the film] first came out, I couldn’t get my head around it. I didn’t understand it. Perhaps it was because I wasn’t mature as a man, just as Nate probably could’ve used a little growing up. I was just as immature as him at the time, so I couldn’t see his shortcomings, but, after taking time to reflect and much deliberation online, I can realize the truth in that perspective.”

Who else is in The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast?

Bridgerton fan-favorite Simone Ashley plays Miranda’s newest assistant. The rest of the cast is rounded out by a slew of characters, played by both famous faces and newcomers, including: Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Broadway stars Helen J. Shen (“Maybe Happy Ending”) and Conrad Ricamora (“Oh, Mary!”), and comedian Caleb Hearon.

Two other characters will be returning, too: Tracie Thoms will reprise her role as Andy’s best friend, Lily, and Tibor Feldman, who played the chairman of Runway’s parent company, will also be back.

When will The Devil Wears Prada 2 be released?

The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters May 1, 2026.

The 14 Best Fall 2026 Fashion Trends We Saw on the Runways

The fall 2026 shows may have ended in March, but the trends found on the runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris are still fresh on our minds. While each label presented a distinct vision for the season, as always, there were certain themes and throughlines that connected the collections. Here are 14 of our favorites, which you’ll surely see everywhere come September.

Building a Wardrobe

For his final collection at Alaïa, Pieter Mulier stressed that his goal was to “create real clothes.” Turns out, he wasn’t the only one for the fall 2026 season: Celine, Loro Piana, Ralph Lauren, and many more focused on an approach to fashion design we’re calling “wardrobe dressing.” The look is less about fully styled, head-to-toe fashion, and more about key items that can be mixed into your closet and actually lived in. Prada reinforced the concept via its show format: 15 models repeatedly circled the runway, removing layers of clothing each time they walked.

Full-Look Policy

By contrast, fashion houses like Chanel—whose new designer Matthieu Blazy created a collection that sold out the day it hit stores—embraced the full look. Both he and Tom Ford’s Haider Ackermann, along with Celine designer Michael Rider, presented pieces that were meant to be worn and styled together. They would look stunning on a lucky celebrity brand ambassador hitting the red carpet.

Think (Faux) Mink

Minklike outerwear was everywhere this season: Gucci’s faux-fur coats were weightless in person; and the shearling coats at Valentino, Phoebe Philo, and Toteme were so refined they might as well have been made of mink. The Row offered a rare taste of the real thing with this shaved mink coat.

The Thrifty Mix

Many collections were rooted in mixing, embracing personal style, and buying secondhand. Rather than head-to-toe looks, these are outfits that have been collected over time. Meryll Rogge’s first Marni outing, as well as Conner Ives’s latest, felt sourced directly from London charity shops.

Material Girl

Designers this season embraced a wealth of new materials to intrigue their fans and followers. The Row had a silk dress presented inside-out, so you could see the threads. At Dior, Jonathan Anderson used houndstooth on a top and slacks to make it look heavy—but in reality, it was an airy wisp of pleated silk. One of Loewe’s models appeared as though they were trapped in a wind tunnel, because the garment they wore was made of rubber.

The Women of Wall Street

Following multiple seasons of oversize menswear silhouettes, this season brought a slimmer fit—sharply tailored dark suits appeared at Saint Laurent, Gucci, and Tom Ford. A fresh take for fall could also be found in the styling elements, like hats, coats worn over the shoulders, and a wealth of pinstripes.

What’s Your Fetish?

Fall 2026 saw elements of “innocence” turned on their heads. Fetishwear crept into details like McQueen’s babydoll top, which was made of body armor. Meanwhile, one of Phoebe Philo’s dresses seemed to be uncovered in all the right places.

Fancy/Casual

A trend from spring 2026 we dubbed the “Statement Skirt, Simple Shirt” formula has morphed into a cheeky play on hodgepodge dressing. Designers are enamored with mixing evening pieces with casual, everyday staples. At Lii and Prada, for instance, sporty jackets were worn with little silk skirts and nubby knits. And Alaïa and Altuzarra paired their evening gowns with peacoats.

Big Animal Print Energy

Leopard, and cheetah, and zebra, oh my! Animal prints are officially back. We were especially taken with Balmain’s fierce coat, paired with over-the-knee boots and a ’90s bag.

Color Clash

Designers took mixing hues to the next level at Loewe, Akris, and more. It turns out, forest green goes with baby pink, navy blue, white and silver (if Mrs. Prada has anything to say about it). The so-called “sin” of pairing pink and orange, meanwhile, got flouted at Louis Vuitton, where models also wore taupe hats and yellow pumps.

Weather Alert!

There’s no doubt that we will need clothes for extreme temperatures in the near future. These are pieces designed to protect you from hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. At Saint Laurent, trenches came in thick swaths of oxblood PVC, and Junya Watanabe’s gilded gown had many uses against the end of the world.

Princess and the Pink

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Sofia Coppola’s film Marie Antoinette, and we have a feeling more than a few designers were inspired by pastel vibes and let-them-eat-cake excess. Valentino’s Alessandro Michele put lavender and pale pink on a lace evening gown, while Conner Ives’s rosy dress looks just like the one Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the Oscars in 1999.

Indie Sleaze Redux

The 2010s are back, 7 For All Mankind designer Nicola Brognano proclaimed with his fall 2026 collection. The creative director’s first outing for the aughts brand centered a Y2K sensibility, and a character loosely based on stars like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan. “She’s a rebel, she’s a rich girl,” Brognano said of his muse for the season. “She can go out in the morning and come back the day after, wearing the same outfit, with a Starbucks cup in her hand and a bracelet from the club the night before.” Marc Jacobs’s take was ultraslim, and made the case for bringing back tights and leather shorts.

Big-Time Outerwear

Coats with bolder-than-bold shoulders, a jacket with a built-in muff—these pieces pushed outerwear to the limit. McQueen’s take on the trend manifested in the form of a feathered shrug worn with a sheer, lacy dress.

Barbie Ferreira’s Best Fashion Moments Are Pure Euphoria

Barbie Ferreira captured hearts in Euphoria as the fan-fiction-writing Kat Hernandez, with a wardrobe full of latex minis, mesh tops, and Internet alter egos. Her off-screen style is just as, if not more, compelling.

Since earning household status on the hit HBO show, Ferreira has blossomed into her own on the red carpet. Like Kat, she embraces bold, often neon, colors and unexpected styling combinations, like a sheer layered corset worn with a floral skirt. There’s also a more glamorous, timeless side to Ferreira, perhaps best evidenced by the dramatic GapStudio ball gown by Zac Posen that she wore to the 2026 Oscars. Though Ferreira has since departed Euphoria, her career has kept her on the red carpet, with buzzy projects like Nope, Mile End Kicks, and the 2026 remake of cult classic Faces of Death.

Here, take in Ferreira’s best red carpet style from Euphoria until now.

Why Hotel Montalembert Is the Best Place to Stay During Paris Fashion Week

Photograph by Jakob Layman

Each season of Paris Fashion Week, folks of all stripes are faced with the same question: where should I stay? Luckily, we have found the answer in the heart of the French capital. Tucked off Rue de Bac in the 7th arrondissement is the elegant and historic boutique Hotel Montalembert.

Besides being perfectly located for the fashion shows—the Art Deco space is about an eight-minute walk from the Musée d’Orsay—Montalembert is also near some of the best restaurants, cafés, and shops Paris has to offer. We’re talking classics like Café de Flore, as well as newer restaurants including the Sant Ambroeus on Rue Saint-Benoît. (But you’ll fare best by trying the in-house Restaurant Montalembert, where you can dine on seabass carpaccio and spring ravioli with candied lemon.) Within walking distance from the five-star hotel is also a slate of intriguing shopping destinations, like the taxidermy and curiosities outpost Deyrolle and the luxe vintage store Preclothed.

The warm atmosphere of the hotel, which opened in 1926, makes you feel like you are staying at a friend’s Parisian apartment. There are breathtaking views of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and all the Haussmann-style buildings in the distance. Poke your head into the restaurant during breakfast or lunch and you’ll notice the room is full of local regulars enjoying not just the tasty menu, but also the hotel’s elegance and prestigious service. The whole vibe is quaint and private—the perfect luxury-boutique hotel feeling. The bedrooms and suites match the hotel’s elegance, striking a balance between heritage and modernity. Each time you step through the front doors, you can feel the charm and the history.

Lisa's Birthday Bikini is Dripping in Jewels

@lalalalisa_m

Because a sea of teddy bears wasn’t quite enough, Lisa took her 29th birthday celebrations to the actual sea. For her birthday weekend, the Blackpink star marked the occasion with a sunset beach setup that still delivered on style.

Leaning into to beachside style, Lisa wore a sheer mermaid bra that looked like it had artfully washed up on the shore behind her. Backed with a see-through crochet fabric, the piece was assembled with beachfront regalia, including conch shells, delicate beading, and even crystals that hung from the underwire. Down below, Lisa went a more formal route in a reflective ivory maxi skirt with ruching along the hips. She finished the look with natural hair and makeup choices.

@lalalalisa_m

It’s been several days of birthday festivities for Lisa. Last week, she rang in her 29th early with an adorable photo shoot that she shared to social media. Dressed in a body suit and hot pants from Unnamed NYC and Yeti-esque Moon boots by Jacquemus, posed for photos while surrounded by dozens of teddy bear plushies.

Lisa’s festivities for her 29th are decidedly pared-back compared to years past, when she’s embraced high-octane party fashion and extravagant nights out with friends. (She appears to have opted for an intimate, candle-lit gathering on the beach this year.) After all, who needs a packed party when you have the ocean—and a goddess moment to match.

Lisa’s 29th Birthday Look Is a Teddy Bear Fashion Fantasy

@lalalalisa_m

What’s the next best thing to celebrating your birthday among friends and family? At least for Lisa, it’s celebrating it among teddy bears; being surrounded by plush companions might even be better than real people, after all.

The Blackpink star was in a cozy mood to mark her 29th birthday. Instead of posting photos of full-blown fête, she opted for an art-directed photo shoot, nestled among nearly a dozen plush companions. Lisa, naturally, dressed the part, wearing a plunging cardigan and boy shorts from Unnamed NYC. Her top featured textured fringe along the neckline and sleeves, helping her blend seamlessly into the sea of bears.

She completed the look with Yeti-esque Moon boots by Jacquemus and clear-framed glasses. A smattering of bear-shaped accessories, from hair clips to delicate earrings, tied the theme together without.

@lalalalisa_m

Lisa is no stranger to making a spectacle out of her birthday style. In 2024, she rang in her 27th birthday in Bangkok, dressed to the nines. She wore Oscar de la Renta’s fully sequined “Wave Scallop” dress, bias-cut design lined with hundreds of flashy paillettes. She paired the show piece with a metallic Louis Vuitton nano speedy. Last year, Lisa was in the midst of promoting her turn in The White Lotus, which meant that her red carpet appearances doubled as birthday celebrations.

Lisa has done the high-glam birthday before, but this year she proved a cozier approach can get the job done. Turns out, a few good bears and a great outfit are all she really needs.
