When Steven Meisel shot the supermodel Linda Evangelista for the September 2022 issue of British Vogue, she hid many of her features beneath a series of hats and scarves. Ms. Evangelista, 58, seems far less shy these days. In the magazine, Ms. Evangelista appears in photos by Cass Bird looking not much older than she did in the ’90s, when she bragged that she would not get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day. “I try to love myself as I am,” she said in an interview with Claire Beermann, a writer and the style director at Zeit Magazin. (Ms. Evangelista declined to be interviewed for this article through a representative.)

CNN —Moving beyond cosmetics, skincare and even a Bratz doll line, the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sibling, Kylie Jenner, is expanding her business portfolio with a new clothing line, named Khy, launching November 1. “The whole line is really inspired by my personal wardrobe, and the different moods that I’m in,” Jenner told WSJ. (The biker glam pieces that make up its first collection are in partnership with the Berlin-based fashion brand Namilia.) Courtesy Khy“Kylie’s obviously very aware of what she likes,” Haider Ackermann, the fashion designer behind Jenner’s 2023 Met Gala gown, told WSJ. She’s always been seduced by it.”“Creatively I have such a strong vision of what I want to look like and what I want to do and what I want to wear,” Jenner told WSJ.

BAREFOOT AND WRAPPED in a robe in a hushed Paris hotel suite, 26-year-old entrepreneur and reality star Kylie Jenner is seated at her altar: a vanity. Her longtime hair and makeup artists—who are also her confidantes—hover around her like discreet, black-garbed hummingbirds, making imperceptible tweaks to her long dark hair and flawless skin. It’s several hours before she has to be at the Acne fashion show, but for Jenner, getting ready is half, if not the whole, point. But it’s bigger than that: Do glam, be glam, and you’re ready to conquer the world. No one has profited more from the concept of glam than Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the siblings and the creator of a cosmetics empire that has been valued at over $1 billion.

The hottest blonde ever.” This was the infamous script description given for Margot Robbie’s character in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), directed by Martin Scorsese. Widely credited as Robbie’s breakthrough, the role instantly helped establish her as one of the biggest movie stars. Yet Robbie—Australian born and then still relatively new to Hollywood—says that she had little interest in further riffing on the blonde-bombshell theme: “I was going to have to show people that I could do something different. I didn’t want to get pigeonholed.” Accordingly, her next roles gave the middle finger to the hot-blonde paradigm.
