Last March, Law Roach seemed to be at the peak of his career as a celebrity stylist. He had won the first stylist of the year award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and was working with Zendaya, Celine Dion, Anya Taylor-Joy and Anne Hathaway, among others. Rumors that he had thrown a tantrum because Louis Vuitton wouldn’t seat him next to Zendaya in the front row. On May 6, Mr. Roach is dressing Zendaya, a host of the Met Gala, which he is also attending. And he is plotting a certification course for would-be stylists, which will, essentially, mass-market and formalize his approach.

"Netflix missed their numbers, and Wall Street woke up," said Paul Hardart, director of NYU Stern's entertainment, media and technology program. A wide range of companies and employees were impacted, from entertainment giants to independent production companies to Hollywood talent agencies. More consolidation among the legacy media companies and independent production companies is widely expected, which often entails job cuts. Entertainment companies will get back to staffing up, but the jobs will be in stronger growth areas like gaming, streaming, and advertising, more than in filmed entertainment programming. Here are the Hollywood companies, listed alphabetically, that have made layoffs since the summer.

CNN —Victoria’s Secret is reuniting some of the most classic supermodels from its heyday, bringing Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, Adriana Lima and Candice Swanepoel together in a new campaign.

It later launched campaigns featuring ambassadors called the VS Collective, including celebrity reps including soccer star Megan Rapinoe and actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The campaign images, a mix of classic black-and-white and color portraits, were taken by Swedish fashion photographer Mikael Jansson.

There are very few things that bind us together in this increasingly divisive world, and stories are one of them.”“Citadel” is available of Prime Video from April 28.

When Naomi Biden, the president’s 28-year-old granddaughter, wore custom Ralph Lauren for a rare White House wedding, one weather-appropriate detail stood out: her long lace sleeves. It looked like a nod to the buttoned-up bodice on the gown Grace Kelly wore to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco. Despite the vanguard of current bridal designers producing more experimental silhouettes—jumpsuits, separates and nearly nude dresses—Ms. Kelly’s classic 1956 look keeps coming back. Among the brides who have emulated her style are Kate Middleton , actresses Lily Collins and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, socialite sisters Paris and Nicky Hilton, and model Jasmine Tookes, as well as legions of less-starry women who associate a high neck and covered arms with timeless glamour.

Victorias Secret a anunțat miercuri, 16 iunie, că a încheiat un parteneriat cu un grup de femei care inspiră. Printre acestea se află actrița și antreprenoarea indiană Priyanka Chopra Jonas și jucătoarea americană de fotbal Megan Rapinoe, care este și activistă pentru egalitatea de gen. Acestea vor deveni imaginea și vocea mărcii, a comunicat Victoria’s Secret. La sfârșitul anilor 1990 și începutul anilor 2000, show-ul de pe Victoria’s Secret a avut un rol puternic în definirea femeii „sexy”. CEO-ul Victoria’s Secret, Martin Waters a declarat pentru The Times că revizuirea mărcii a fost așteptată de mult timp.
