Natural materials have a stubborn relevance in a culture increasingly built around engineered substitutes. Wood, linen, h**p, wool, cotton, and other natural materials begin with something that already exists in the world, rather than being assembled from fossil-derived chemicals into a material that may persist long after its useful life is over.

When responsibly grown and sourced, they can fit more naturally into biological cycles, while some can be repaired, reused, composted, or otherwise returned to the material stream at the end of their lives.

There is also something less measurable about their appeal. Natural materials tend to age rather than simply degrade — until you put them in the ground, that is — acquiring softness, patina, or character through use. That can make them easier to live with, and harder to throw away.

But natural is not synonymous with sustainable: cotton can be water-intensive, forests can be poorly managed, and animal-derived materials carry their own environmental and ethical considerations. The more interesting question is not whether a material is natural, but whether its entire life cycle makes sense — from the landscape it comes from to what happens when we are finished with it.

Rihanna was in the audience for Céline Dion’s concert in Paris on Wednesday, where she appeared to sing along to hits including “That’s the Way It Is,” and “Pour que tu m’aimes encore.”

The singer was among a crowd of celebrities who turned out for Dion’s return to the Paris stage, including Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, and Lewis Hamilton.

For Rihanna, the night was less about being the star and more about being a fan. Videos from the concert show her singing, dancing and visibly enjoying the performance from the audience.

Dion’s Paris shows mark her return to a sustained run of live performances after stepping away from the stage following her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome.

“Subtle glamour” reigned supreme at this year’s Emmys as stars from Claire Danes to Chase Infiniti traded “over-the-top, mile-long lashes and traditional red carpet mega-makeup” for something far more understated.

It’s a trend most notably being embraced by Pamela Anderson, who turned up to most of her recent red carpet appearances without a made-up face at all. “I don’t do the ‘no makeup makeup,’” she said last year. “I do the ‘no makeup.’”

Our details on the trend at the link in bio.

Bob Mackie, the legendary costume designer who transformed Hollywood glamour with sequins, rhinestones, feathers and an unapologetic sense of spectacle, has died at 87.

Known as the “Glamour King of Hollywood,” Mackie dressed generations of entertainment icons, including Cher, Carol Burnett, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Barbra Streisand, Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli. His decades-long creative partnership with Cher produced some of the most unforgettable looks in pop culture, from her daring stage costumes to her legendary 1986 Oscars ensemble.

But Mackie’s legacy goes far beyond Cher. He designed costumes for The Carol Burnett Show for its entire 11-year run, creating everything from glamorous gowns to the famous curtain dress Burnett wore while spoofing Gone With the Wind. He also sketched the gown Marilyn Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” to John F. Kennedy in 1962.

Over his extraordinary career, Mackie won nine Emmy Awards, received three Oscar nominations and won a Tony Award for The Cher Show. He was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2002.

His work helped create identities. Mackie understood that clothing could be funny, provocative, glamorous, theatrical and completely unforgettable all at once.

“You don’t try to change anybody,” he famously said of his design approach, “you just try to make them look better than ever.”

She’s back.

After six years away from the concert stage, the legendary singer Céline Dion returned Saturday night in Paris for the opening of her new residency — and it was every bit as emotional as fans hoped.

Dion, who has been living with stiff-person syndrome, became visibly overwhelmed during the performance before powering through a set of career-defining hits, including “My Heart Will Go On” and “All By Myself.”

Her return was her first full concert since 2020; she previously performed at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Dion will perform 26 shows; 16 in Paris through October 17, and 10 more scheduled for 2027.

“I made a promise to come back,” the singer said on Saturday night. “So here I am!”

On Wednesday morning, the New York Harbor skyline took on a familiar shape.

Nearly 3,000 lights were arranged to mirror the scale of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers, one for each person killed in the September 11, 2001, attacks. Viewed across the harbor, the installation recreated the towers as points of light in an ephemeral structure that appeared against the New York skyline and then disappeared.

The installation was organized with members of the 9/11 family, survivor and responder communities as part of the 25th anniversary of the attack. Its setting in New York Harbor offered a view of the city that has changed considerably in the decades since, while preserving a visual reference to the skyline that existed before them.

Behind the display was a complicated production effort. IDEKO handled federal and city permitting and coordinated safety and security operations, working with Sky Elements Drone Shows and the New York Foundation for the Arts. The project also required coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, the New York Police Department and other city agencies.

For a few hours, the lights gave physical form to something that otherwise exists largely in memory: the scale of what was lost.

Pamela Anderson attended the 2026 amfAR Gala Venezia during the Venice Film Festival, where she was honored for her personal experience overcoming hepatitis C and her advocacy around access to treatment.

The gala, held September 6 at Venice’s Hilton Molino Stucky, supports amfAR’s work funding HIV/AIDS research and also advances research into hepatitis C. Anderson used her acceptance speech to reflect on being diagnosed with hepatitis C in the early 2000s and being told by her doctor that she might have only about 10 years to live. She ultimately became free of the virus in 2015 after receiving treatment, but said the experience continued to shape her emotionally and creatively.

amfAR presented Anderson with its Award of Courage, which was given in recognition of her resilience and her willingness to speak publicly about her experience. Actor and filmmaker Taika Waititi, her co-star in the upcoming film Place to Be, presented her with the award. “We all have reasons to be here,” Andersons said. “No one is better than anyone else.”

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is sounding the alarm over a new United Nations report confirming that the world is likely to surpass the 1.5°C global warming threshold within the next few years.

“I don’t think we understand how terrifying this news is,” Thunberg says in the video.

The report, from the UN Environment Programme, marks a significant shift in how the climate crisis is being framed. Rather than preventing 1.5°C of warming, the focus is now on limiting how far temperatures rise above it, shortening the time spent there, and eventually bringing temperatures back down. UNEP says every fraction of a degree matters, because greater warming increases risks to people, ecosystems and the possibility of irreversible tipping points.

The message isn’t that action no longer matters. It’s that the stakes of acting now have never been higher. Every fraction of a degree of warming avoided means fewer risks to people and ecosystems. The window for action is narrowing, but what happens next is still being shaped by the choices made now.

“This is a death sentence for countless people all over the world,” Thunberg said. “We can still prevent the worst consequences but the window of time to act is rapidly closing.”

Belgian designer Julie Kegels has won the 2026 LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers, with Jennifer Lawrence presenting the award.

Based in Antwerp, Kegels launched her namesake label in 2024 after graduating from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. Her work is playful, sculptural and deliberately unconventional, blending exaggerated silhouettes, unexpected materials and a distinctly offbeat take on femininity.

Kegels has also explored more sustainable materials and production approaches, an increasing focus for LVMH.

She’ll receive €400,000 along with a year of mentorship from LVMH experts — a major boost for one of fashion’s youngest emerging labels.

Kegels was selected from more than 2,400 applicants and nine finalists.
