Donald Trump said Melania "doesn't care" about not being on Vogue during his White House tenure. Last year, Melania said she had "much more important things to do" than appear on a Vogue cover. The former president also questioned the lack of a Vogue cover for Melania Trump, a former model, when she was in Washington, DC. "She's been on the cover of the magazines for a long time, and she was on the cover of Vogue before. In May 2022, Melania Trump accused the magazine of bias after first lady Jill Biden appeared on the August 2021 cover, just months after moving into the White House.

“It was my ritual every night after the shoot,” Yoshihara said recently in a video interview. “Me and the mustache sit together. The mustache became like a friend.”Yoshihara takes facial hair very seriously. The first iteration of Branagh’s Poirot mustache was created for “Orient Express” by the designer Carol Hemming, with whom Yoshihara worked closely as the head of the hair and makeup departments. The colossal gray swath of hair was meant to pay tribute to Poirot’s military background and the vogue after World War I.

Led by Scorsese, the filmmakers aimed to be scrupulously authentic in the ways they depicted the Osage, down to the threads in their clothing. “Few people in the world could afford that, but they documented their lives and their travel and where they lived so beautifully. By the early 20th century, the Osage were as au courant as Vogue editors. The wedding scene in “Killers of the Flower Moon” is a showstopper, with Mollie Kyle, the bride played by Gladstone, and her bridesmaid sisters in richly embroidered skirts, finger-woven belts and bespoke military coats, complete with brass buttons and braided epaulets. The look is topped off by towering 18-inch hats decorated with French ribbon and festooned with feathers dyed cyan or magenta.

That was when Kelly, then a Fox News star, infuriated the future president at a GOP debate with a question about his treatment of women. “That was a bad question,” Trump said in the interview. “That was a great question,” Kelly responded. “It's not that I'm worried that somebody is going to shoot me down,” Kelly later said in an interview with CBS News. You're going to bore the people at home and you're going to waste valuable time.”The goal of the interview was not to emerge with Trump's jugular, she said.

☆ Tell-all book lifts the lid on troubled beauty brand Glossier
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-12 | by ( Leah Dolan | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

Glossier, a direct-to-consumer cosmetics company launched in 2014 by US businesswoman Emily Weiss, pioneered this new aesthetic. At Glossier, beauty marks were celebrated, freckles were lionized and makeup application became as free form as finger painting. Beyoncé, Serena Williams, Michelle Obama and Reese Witherspoon have all been pictured wearing the makeup brand to red carpet events like the Oscars and The Grammys. For Meltzer, the brand fell victim to something that often trips up companies leading the zeitgeist: an evolving landscape. But “Glossy” isn’t just a beauty brand biography — it’s a forensic cross-examination of an era-defining company and how it embodied a moment in wider culture.

GLOSSY: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss’s Glossier, by Marisa MeltzerA Glossier brick and mortar opened in my neighborhood last fall, and because that neighborhood is Williamsburg, I could comfortably declare it to be the brand’s time of death. Here lies Glossier, the millennial pink tombstone’s black etching would read, makeup for pretty people. That the Williamsburg Glossier is neighbored by retail stores for Parachute (bedding), Mejuri (jewelry) and Warby Parker (glasses) does not feel coincidental; all the formerly online-only direct-to-consumer brands are arranged on North Sixth Street in a neat little row. But when the first permanent Glossier showroom opened in SoHo in 2016, it was the cool girl’s place to go after work. Its founder, Emily Weiss, remains the star student in a class of girl bosses who have either imploded or flamed out.

A holiday-shortened week often provides markets and economists a moment to reflect. That’s especially the case after Labor Day, a date that signifies the end of the summer. Data last week reinforced the narrative of a slowing labor market and inflation that has cooled off but not quite as much as the Federal Reserve would like. A handful of Fed governors will speak this week ahead of the central bank’s next meeting in two weeks. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs on Tuesday lowered the odds of a recession within the next 12 months to 15% from 20% previously, citing the favorable inflation data, the softening labor market and continued growth in incomes.

The lesson for SoftBank and Arm is clear: chip investors are laser-focused on medium-term operating profit, not just revenue. Reuters GraphicsThere are three key moving parts to Arm’s valuation. Under SoftBank, Arm’s operating margin has dropped to around 25%, from roughly 40% in 2015 – a consequence of Son’s preference for heavy investments in research. If Arm nabbed the same multiple, its enterprise value would be $33 billion, using the above growth and operating margin. To mimic and sustain Nvidia-esque growth, Arm CEO Rene Haas would have to keep ramping up investments in engineers and sales teams, which would weigh on margins.
