Three names stood out on the Santa Anita card this weekend. Hughes, Thought Process and Domain Expansion each won their Breeders' Cup prep at the Arcadia track, and none of the three wins was close. Some of the weekend's runners are still unbeaten, which gave the prep day in the San Gabriel foothills extra weight. For Los Angeles horsemen, it was a strong showing on home ground ahead of the championships.
Ford chose to give up more than 150,000 vehicle sales so it could build its coming entry-level electric lineup. That number shows how seriously Dearborn is taking a budget EV, because a carmaker doesn't walk away from that much business for a side project. For owners who have waited for an electric Ford priced for everyday buyers rather than early adopters, the lineup is badly needed. The company has made its choice, and now the cars have to arrive.
Porsche Penske has a first to its name at Petit Le Mans. The team won the GTP category at Road Atlanta, the first time it has done so there, and it had BMW close behind to the end. For people who care about which marque wins, and at which American circuit, this one belongs on the record. GTP is the premier class in IMSA, so this was not a win in a supporting class. It came at the highest level the series offers. The weekend's larger honors went to Cadillac, so two marques had good reasons to celebrate. Porsche's moment was the one that had never happened at this event before.
The Hollywood Reporter has reviewed "A Statement," a film directed by Tom McCarthy. Its cast includes Paul Rudd, Amy Ryan, John Turturro, Paul Giamatti, Evan Peters and Tatiana Maslany. The film follows a gathering of specialists in 1980 who were asked to plan ahead for a warming planet. The review credits the actors with giving unexpected energy to material it describes as dry. That puts the cast at the center of the review. The six actors share a story set mostly around one meeting, and the review says their work is what keeps that meeting lively.
Frances Edwards is 96, and she lives at Blakeford Senior Life in Green Hills. She is still asking her neighbors to register and turn out before the November 3 election. She has championed the vote her whole life, and that work hasn't slowed down. Her point is simple: the right to cast a ballot was paid for by other people's sacrifices, and nobody should take it lightly or forget that. She is known to give a firm, grandmotherly scolding to anyone who does. Green Hills knows a lot about talent and ambition. One of its best examples of steady conviction lives in a senior community off its own streets, reminding everyone that showing up is a duty owed to the people who made it possible.
Domain Expansion won the Grade II Oak Leaf Stakes at Santa Anita on Saturday by seven lengths. The horse is by Speaker's Corner and had raced only once before, finishing second in a turf race. That made Saturday's start just the second of the career, and it ended in a graded stakes win. Graded races are where a horse's credentials start to be written down, and Domain Expansion now has the Oak Leaf on that record. Seven lengths is a long way back for the second-place finisher at this level, and people at the rail could see the gap clearly without waiting for the official chart. On a Saturday at Santa Anita, a margin like that is something the Southern California racing crowd notices. Speaker's Corner's name is now attached to a Grade II winner by a decisive margin.
American History remains unbeaten after winning the Claiborne Breeders' Futurity with a late run. The Constitution runner settled into a good position and waited while two leaders fought it out up front. One of them was Coach Pope, a son of Tapit. American History closed steadily through the final stages and caught them both. What made it worth watching was the patience: the horse sat back early and finished best when it counted. Coach Pope, like the winner, carries the TDN Rising Stars designation, presented by Hagyard, so this was a meeting between young horses already marked as ones to follow. The perfect record keeps the attention on American History and on Constitution as the sire behind the win.
Let Em Know came into Saturday's Grade II Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont as an outsider and won it. He is by Jackie's Warrior, who has his first crop racing this year, and the win makes Let Em Know the first graded stakes winner for his sire. Jackie's Warrior is by Maclean's Music, so the result also reaches back one generation in the pedigree. The Pilgrim gives its winner an automatic place in the starting gate of a bigger race, so the colt's success also earned him a guaranteed spot. It is one race, but a stallion only gets one first graded stakes winner, and Jackie's Warrior got his in New York.
Rhetorical has won the Grade I Coolmore Turf Mile again, so his name now appears twice on the race's honor roll. The bay is a five-year-old gelding by Not This Time out of the mare Sheet Humor, and he races for a partnership of Gary Barber, Cheyenne Stable and Wachtel Stable. Winning a Grade I race once is the best result a turf horse can earn. Coming back the next year and winning the same race again is rarer, because the horse has to hold that form for a full year. Only a short list of horses has won the Turf Mile more than once, and Rhetorical's name now sits among them. The owners came into this running hoping to join that list, and they did it. For readers who follow the grass division, this is the result to note: a proven miler, still at the top level at five, who has now defended his title.
U. S. S. Valor won the Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park, and won it in style. On a New York card called Super Saturday, a whole program built to show off quality, his race was the one at the top. A Super Saturday is meant to have a standout performance, and this one went to U. S. S. Valor in the Champagne.
Two names came away from Keeneland's Fall Stars Saturday as the ones the card will be remembered for: Rhetorical and American History. Both stood out on the Lexington track's showcase afternoon of the autumn meet, a day built to put the best horses on the grounds in front of the Kentucky crowd. In at least one of those performances, the winning trip began with the horse settled easily on the front end in the opening stages. On a day designed to bring the best horses of the season to the surface, these two were the names that rose.
Thought Process came into the Rodeo Drive Stakes at Santa Anita with four starts over the track and four wins, and she leaves it still unbeaten there. The 4-year-old filly by Collected, out of the Creative Cause mare Creative Thinking, drew the rail and used it at once, breaking sharply and taking control early. From there the rest of the field was chasing her, and the gap only grew as the race went on. By the end she was well clear, with nothing close enough to make a race of it. Five starts and five wins at the same track is a rare record for any horse, and it is worth noting in Arcadia, where she has now done all five. Her pedigree is what Southern California breeders will look at next: Collected on top, and Creative Cause, himself a Santa Anita name, as broodmare sire. The race also carries the name of the most famous shopping street in Beverly Hills, a few freeway exits west, and on this afternoon Thought Process was its best-dressed runner by some distance.
Damien Hirst has designed a cashmere line with Barrie, the knitwear house. For the island, cashmere is the sweater over the shoulders on a cool January evening on the North End, the layer that comes off at dinner and goes back on for the drive home. Hirst himself treats the work as art: in his view, anything made with real care counts. Vanity Fair spoke with him in an exclusive interview about the collection.
Lyrical Animation has begun work on an animated series adapted from the video game "RuneScape." The studio is working on the project with Charlie White, the online creator known as MoistCr1TiKaL, and with Jagex, the company behind the game. The news comes from Jon Bellamy, chief executive of Lyrical Animation. The announcement does not give a title, a release date, a distributor or a cast.
Florence Pugh has said that working with Zoe Kazan on Netflix's new "East of Eden" series made her more sure of herself as an artist, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Pugh plays Cathy, the role the story turns on, and she also holds a producing credit on the series. Kazan told the publication that no other actress was considered for the part. Critics have received the adaptation favorably.
Paul Rudd has stopped bringing his phone with him when he reports to a film set, he told Variety. He said he made the change because he is as hooked on the device as most people are. Rudd's newest role is in "A Statement," directed by Academy Award winner Tom McCarthy, where he plays the moderator of a fictional first meeting convened to address the climate crisis in the United States. His rule is simple: the phone stays behind and the attention stays on the work.
Paul Rudd no longer brings his phone with him to film sets, the actor told Variety. He said he is as hooked on the device as most people are, and that this is why he now leaves it behind when he works. Rudd appears in "A Statement," a new film from director Tom McCarthy, who has won an Academy Award. In the film, Rudd's character leads what the story presents as the first gathering ever held to address the climate crisis in the United States.
Lawrence Rothman's new album, "Here Lives Love/Sawdust to Stardust," starts with a track called "The Meaning." Leading with that title puts a large question at the front of the record, and the songs that follow take that question up. Variety's coverage also notes that Rothman's work producing records for other artists is expanding.
Jeremy Strong, a nominee for the Academy Award, said his method approach to acting comes from giving himself fully to the script in front of him, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He described his job on a set as total commitment to the work. He said he sees no reason to say sorry for that approach. In a town where much of the year's screen acting is made and judged, his remarks address a question many in the craft ask: how much of themselves to give to a role.
Taylor Swift appeared unannounced on "Saturday Night Live" during an episode hosted by actress Dakota Johnson, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Swift's appearance came during Johnson's turn leading the NBC sketch comedy program. The band Turnstile performed as the episode's music act.
Dakota Johnson's turn as host of "Saturday Night Live" began with a guest, as Taylor Swift joined her for the opening monologue. Viewers had predicted Swift would appear, and the two performed the segment together, with Swift in the comic role of a therapist advising Johnson. During the appearance, Swift also gave a shout-out to Cleveland as a nod to Travis Kelce.
The Riva 130 Bellissima named Janus Navem is for sale in Fort Lauderdale. Riva is the builder, and Bellissima is the yard's name for the 130 model. Two MTU 16V2000 M96L diesels power her, so serious owners have a known engine package to look at in this kind of listing. The asking price is not on the record, and we won't guess at it. Being in Fort Lauderdale makes her easy to see for Florida buyers on the East Coast, and for anyone in Palm Beach or Miami, the drive is short. For owners who want a big Italian-built yacht that is already in American waters, Janus Navem is worth a call to arrange a viewing.
The Bellini Astor 38 began as a commission from a driver who has raced at Le Mans, and the boat shows it. The 38-foot sport yacht has a hull laid out around the way a racing driver sits and moves at speed. The interior trim borrows from the upholstery of fine cars, and carbon fiber details run through the boat. For owners who want a dayboat in the 38-foot range, which suits a run along the Florida coast, this is a sport yacht where the person at the helm was the starting point. The yard has not released the naval architect or a price.
Green Wedding Shoes has put a number on how long a bridal bouquet lasts once the ceremony ends: about two days. After that, it can no longer be kept. The publication set the two ways of keeping it side by side, either preserving the flowers at home or handing them to a professional, and argued that the choice belongs before the wedding. Leaving it until afterward means deciding after checkout or while waiting to board for the honeymoon. For a bride in Beverly Hills, that puts the bouquet's future on the planning calendar, next to the decisions made months ahead.
In Cookeville, Tennessee, a couple held their wedding at a family home and planned the design around what the grounds already had: established trees and planted gardens. A sailcloth tent gave the guests shelter. Inside, hydrangeas hung overhead, so the main floral piece sat above the tables. The palette stuck to green and white, with some blush mixed in. Planners can use this approach when a property already looks finished: let the landscape decide the plan and keep the flowers in the same colors as the garden. A hanging installation also keeps the tabletops open and puts the flowers at eye level for everyone in the tent.
Caroline and Anthony asked for a small dinner with their guests, not a big reception, and the setup at The Argyle Club San Antonio was built to match. Ash Event Co. put up a tent and kept the palette to two colors, white and green. Inside, there were living magnolia trees, and the fabric panels were made to order with a magnolia design. If you're planning a tent, this is a good example of how the decor can do the job of interior walls. Fabric and greenery around the tables make a tent read as a room. Here one flower, the magnolia, shows up both in the textiles and as actual trees, which keeps the look consistent from the drapery to the branches. For a guest count this small, that kind of focus works better than spreading the budget across many ideas.
The Federal Aviation Administration has hired more air traffic controllers than in any earlier year on record. As of August, the controller workforce was still several hundred people below the staffing level the agency set as its goal. For owners who file IFR and depend on a staffed facility at each end of the flight, both figures matter: the record shows hiring is gaining speed, and the shortfall shows how much further it has to go.
Flying's finance desk has looked at how owners should plan for repair costs on their airplanes. The basic point is one most owners know: wear builds up with every hour and every cycle, and the money for the shop visit should be set aside long before the airplane is due there. An owner who treats that reserve as a running cost, priced into each leg, is better off than one who meets the full bill all at once. Whether the airplane is based in Naples or Aspen, the numbers come out the same, and the owners who run their aircraft well do them early.
On the Bowery in Manhattan, a couple has finished renovating their home, and they had already decided where the largest work they own would go. They did not have to try it on one wall, then another. Choosing a home for a collector's biggest canvas is usually the hardest call in a renovation, and here it seems to have been one of the easiest. It shows the kind of clarity about art and rooms that a well-run renovation depends on.
In Connecticut, restaurateur Rose Bonura's 300-year-old Colonial has a new wing, and the designer behind it, Ryan Lawson, set out to make it look as old as the main house. The wing started as a worn garage on the property, and the two, who are friends, rebuilt it in the manner of a barn, with its character drawn from earlier eras rather than from the present. Adding onto a house that has stood for three centuries is a test of restraint: any new room sits next to work that has had 300 years to settle into its site. Here the measure of success is that a visitor shouldn't be able to tell where the original Colonial ends and the addition begins. Turning a utility building into living space, and making it match a house this old, is the kind of quiet craft that rarely announces itself. No sale is involved and no figures have been made public, so this story is about the work itself.
Friends In Low Places is giving Halloween a full weekend. Its Halloweekend runs three nights, starting Thursday, at the lower end of Broadway, where the music already spills out of every open door. The theme mixes ghost-story trappings with honky-tonk, the town's most dependable tradition, and that combination suits this stretch of Broadway. Three nights means guests don't have to cram the holiday into a single night. They can choose the evening that fits and arrive in costume. For anyone who has walked that part of downtown on an ordinary weekend, it's not hard to picture the neon with a few more masks under it. The Halloween costume and the dance floor have always been a good match.
Mane of Needles is a Negroni made with rye whiskey instead of the usual gin. Most people know the Negroni as a simple pour of equal measures, but this version asks more of whoever is making it. By the publisher's account, the extra steps are worth taking. For a New York host planning a fall evening at home, it's a drink that pays back a little patience at the bar cart before the guests arrive.
Midtown is about to get three new places where diners take a seat at the counter and let the chef decide the meal. All three are high-end omakase restaurants, and all are expected to open in Manhattan over the coming weeks of the season. In omakase, the chef sets the menu and each course is served across the counter, so the cooking happens in front of the guest. Three openings of this kind in one New York neighborhood in a single season is news for anyone who cares about that style of dining. We will share the names, the chefs and the opening dates as they are confirmed, and we will review a counter only after we have eaten at it.
The Mane of Needles starts from the Negroni, swaps in rye whiskey and finishes with a sharper, spikier bite than the classic. It isn't the even-measures pour most of us could make half-asleep, so it takes more patience at the bar cart than the usual stir. Robb Report's verdict is that the extra steps pay off. Whether it ends up on a Palm Beach sideboard, a Miami rooftop or a Naples lanai at sundown, it suits the host who likes being asked what's in the glass.
Anyone who goes up to New York once the Florida heat breaks will have three new omakase rooms to choose from, all opening in Midtown before the season is out. That is three counters where the chef decides the meal one piece at a time, and they are opening in the same part of the city in the same season. The open question is whether Midtown has enough seats, and enough diners, to keep all three full. Whether you plan your trips around a Palm Beach dinner reservation, a Miami late night, or an early Naples supper, a trust-the-chef evening is one taste every Florida town shares. This fall, New York is offering three of them.
In a column for Car and Driver, Ezra Dyer asks something that will sound familiar to anyone who keeps something extraordinary in the garage: what do you do with a car that outranks everything else you own but fits the rhythm of ordinary days least of all? The car in question is a Ferrari F40, and as his headline makes clear, it belongs to a friend. For owners and collectors from Naples to Aspen, the tension he describes is a kind of respect for a machine too singular to slip quietly into daily life. The impressions are Dyer's, not ours. His question is still worth thinking about for anyone who has ever stood in front of their best car and wondered when they'll next have a real reason to drive it.
Hughes, a son of Into Mischief, is still unbeaten. On Saturday he won the Grade I American Pharoah Stakes by a wide margin. His three earlier races were all wins, and together he won them by 18 1/4 lengths. Saturday added a question none of those had answered: could he handle a longer trip with a second bend? He answered it plainly, keeping his rhythm into the first turn and drawing clear through the stretch. The American Pharoah is a "Win and You're In" race, so the victory also gives him an automatic place in the Breeders' Cup. A clean record is a fine thing to carry into the fall. Going longer without losing a step is the part that will have horsemen watching where Hughes runs next.
The Grade 2 Flower Bowl Stakes is run Thursday for a $500,000 purse, and trainer Chad Brown comes into it with runners ready to go. Brown has already saddled winners of this race, and his name sits at the top of the conversation again this year. A Grade 2 at half a million dollars is one of the more important races on the fall calendar, the kind that makes a horse's season, and a barn as well run as Brown's treats it that way. Readers who follow the turf will want to keep an eye on his horses when the field comes onto the course Thursday.

A FLYING column takes owners through the arithmetic of setting money aside for the maintenance an airplane will eventually need. That premise will be familiar to anyone who runs an aircraft well: shop visits arrive on schedule, so the cost can be carried on the books long before the work order is written. Planning for it is part of owning an aircraft properly, whether the airplane lives at Palm Beach International or in a hangar in Aspen.
Most people know the Baroque as a style of excess: gilt, swirling ornament, rooms that seem built to overwhelm. A new essay looks at the period through the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, who treated it as something closer to a mode of thought than a look. His reading leans on the metaphysics of Gottfried Leibniz, the German thinker whose ideas Deleuze used to explain what the Baroque was doing beneath its surface. For anyone who lives with a Baroque frame, a carved console or a painted ceiling, the argument offers another reason to look twice at what they already own.
A couple on Manhattan's Bowery has finished renovating their home, and the largest work they own now has a permanent place in it. They had settled where it would go well before it went up. On a street that has never been short on character, it is a pleasure to see a home finished with that much intention. Plenty of New York renovations end with a blank wall and a question; this one ended with the answer already in hand.
Restaurateur Rose Bonura's Connecticut house is a Colonial about three hundred years old, and it now has a new wing. The addition began as an old garage on the property. Designer Ryan Lawson reworked it into a barn-style building that takes its cues from the past. Bonura and Lawson are friends, and they did the project together. The new wing doesn't announce itself as new. It sits beside the old house as if it had been part of the place from the start. That's hard to pull off next to a house that has stood for three centuries. No sale or price is involved, so there is no figure to report. What stands out is the restraint: a garage made into a barnhouse that sits comfortably beside one of the state's oldest kinds of American house.
Friends In Low Places is turning Halloween into a three-night run it's calling Halloweekend, beginning Thursday. Visitors to downtown Nashville already know the routine on that stretch of Broadway: neon, open doors and a live band every few steps. For these nights, the venue adds a spooky streak to the usual twang. It's a good fit, since Nashville has never needed much of an excuse to dress up for a night of music. Thursday is the first night of the long weekend.
Car and Driver has published a practical guide for owners trading their current car in toward a new one. It answers a question many drivers face when they're ready for the next car but still have the last one in the driveway. For owners in Palm Beach, Nashville, Aspen and every garage in between, the trade-in is often the first step toward what comes next. The guide is meant to make that step clear and comfortable.
Owners who have kept an F355 in their garage, and those who have only wanted one, can drive the Ferrari in Gran Turismo 7 starting October 15, when it appears in the series for the first time. It is the main addition in a large update arriving this month. The same update adds a celebrated Honda Civic race car, the Sugo circuit as a new venue, and several features players have asked for over time. For a mid-engined Ferrari with a devoted following, arriving in the game puts it alongside the other cars of its era that players already drive there.
A Fast and Furious television series is said to be on its way to Peacock, with 2028 given as the year it arrives. The report is not yet official, and it is one of four shows said to be headed to the same streaming service. No cast, no cars and no premiere date have been announced, so we will hold our attention until there is something on screen worth looking at closely. For readers who keep a garage as carefully as a calendar, 2028 is the year to watch.
Luc Donckerwolke, who designed the Lamborghini Gallardo and now leads Genesis, once owned a Porsche 914. Anyone with a 914 in the garage can take that as a quiet compliment. Donckerwolke's job is to judge line, stance and proportion, and he chose this Porsche for himself. For owners, his choice is reason enough to look at their own car again.
An animator is at work on a film set before the events of "Cars," following Strip Weathers through his first years on the track. In the 2006 Pixar film, Weathers was voiced by Richard Petty himself. The draw for anyone who knows stock cars by their lines is the modeling: the animator is building NASCAR's best-known figures in three dimensions, and building them with real accuracy. To an owner or collector, that accuracy is what separates a tribute from a cartoon.
A 1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero is listed on Bring a Trailer. The model and year are the reason to look: this Ranchero is built on the Falcon, and it is the truck from which Ford's line of smaller pickups starts. It appeals because it is unfussy and plain. For collectors who value a vehicle for where it stands at the start of a lineage, this one is worth following on the listing page.
For readers who follow the American marque in competition, the top-class honor in IMSA's WeatherTech series this year goes to a Cadillac. Jack Aitken has won the 2026 GTP championship in the No. 31 Whelen Cadillac, and simply taking the start at Petit Le Mans was enough to settle it. It is his first title in the GTP class. Aitken finished on the podium again and again this season, and by the time the field rolled away at Petit Le Mans the championship was already his. Collectors and owners will want to note the details: the car is the No. 31, the program is Whelen's, and the result is the 2026 GTP championship.
Car and Driver columnist Ezra Dyer has written about a Ferrari F40 that belongs to a friend, and about the puzzle it presents. His column asks what an owner should do when the finest machine in the garage is also the one least suited to everyday life. From a Palm Beach garage to an Aspen one, that is a dilemma worth having. Few cars justify that much thought, and the F40 is one of them.
The Mane of Needles takes the Negroni, a drink usually made by pouring the same measure of each ingredient, and builds it on rye whiskey with a sharper, spikier finish. It also takes more work than the classic three-way pour, and the extra steps are what make the drink. That suits anyone who treats the cocktail hour as a craft, whether the bar is in a Manhattan apartment or a kitchen in Naples. Read the name as a promise of the bite to come.
Midtown Manhattan will get three new high-end omakase restaurants this fall. With omakase, the guest leaves the meal to the chef and eats whatever the kitchen sends out, course by course. Three new places to do that in the center of New York make this a good season for diners who enjoy that trust. We will write about each one after we have eaten there.
This season's menswear has settled on red, from brick-toned rust to deep wine, and the menswear designers have arrived at a point the people who decorate rooms reached long ago: one red element makes everything around it look sharper. In Florida, where autumn is mostly a date on the calendar, a man can still mark the season with a single piece in one of those shades. In Miami that might mean wearing a lot of it, in Palm Beach just enough, and in Naples a choice so quiet nobody notices it until dinner. Pair it with navy, khaki or white linen and it does the job without drawing attention to itself.
A new high-jewelry set has arrived: a necklace and matching earrings named Victoria Falls, built around a single emerald of 5.9 carats. That green stone sits at the center of the necklace. Across both pieces there are 285 stones in all, which comes to about 100 carats. The emerald is just one of them, so 284 others surround it and lead the eye back to it. That proportion is the part to look at. A hundred carats could easily turn into a blur, but here it is arranged so that a single stone of under six carats still holds the center. The name points to water falling, and a set like this is about movement: the necklace on the collarbone, the earrings framing the face, the whole thing catching light as the wearer turns. On our coast, a reader can already guess where each town would take it. In Palm Beach it goes to the gala, in Naples to dinner at eight, and in Miami it shows up sometime after midnight. All three would be right, because a set this carefully made suits whatever room it walks into.
The Mane of Needles takes the Negroni, a drink most people can mix half-asleep, and builds it on rye whiskey, which gives it a sharper, spikier finish than the classic. It also gives up the easy equal-measures formula, so whoever's mixing will need to pay closer attention than usual. That extra fuss pays off in the glass, whether you're pouring at a Palm Beach bar cart, a Naples lanai or a Miami kitchen counter that won't see guests until nearly midnight. When a drink makes you slow down and earn it, that's usually a good sign.
Midtown is getting three new high-end omakase restaurants this autumn, all opening within the same few months. That raises a fair question: can one stretch of Manhattan fill that many seats at the chef's counter at once? For readers who keep a calendar in New York and another in Palm Beach or Naples, it means three more reasons to stay up north a little longer before heading home for the season. If the neighborhood turns out to have the appetite, the chefs will have made their case one course at a time.
The Cranford Theater, an independent movie house in New Jersey, is preparing a celebratory screening to honor its first hundred years. The person who runs the theater brought it through the pandemic years and back from an incident in which its ceiling gave way, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The event is planned as a formal evening built around a film, held in the same auditorium the theater has operated for a century. For readers in Beverly Hills, where the business of film is local, the plans are a reminder that the picture house down the street is also part of the industry.
Denver Film has released the program for its upcoming festival in Colorado, and Carrie Coon, John Cho, Liz Sargent and Fred Hechinger are among those it plans to recognize. The organization's announcement lists more names, and the four named here are the first on that list. The first screening will be "I Play Rocky," directed by Peter Farrelly. The final screening will be "Paper Tiger," directed by James Gray. The honors will be given during the festival, between the opening and closing films. The program announcement does not include dates or venues.
Tony Gilroy's new film, "Behemoth!", had its premiere Friday at the New York Film Festival. The screening took place in Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. The film's music was written by nine composers, which is an unusual number for one score. According to Variety, the film's credits include a breakdown of which composer wrote which part of the music. "Behemoth!" opens in theaters on Dec. 4.
"Behemoth!", the latest film from writer-director Tony Gilroy, had its premiere Friday at the New York Film Festival. The screening took place at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. The music for the film was written by nine composers, not one. Variety looked at why Gilroy brought that many composers onto a single picture and at which parts of the film each one scored. "Behemoth!" opens in theaters on December 4.
The film version of Colleen Hoover's novel "Verity" is now showing in theaters, Variety reported. Variety said projections show the film could open at No. 1 in ticket sales, which would make it the latest movie based on a Hoover book to do so. In an exclusive with the publication, members of the film's cast named the books they recommend to others. For readers in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles who know the novel, the film's release links a book many have already read to a cast that is now pointing audiences toward other books.
Town & Country held its first gathering on the college question, and the panel it brought together set out to correct eight widely held beliefs about how applications work. Stellene Volandes, who leads the magazine, was joined by Audrey Wisch, founder of both Curious Cardinals and FlightPlan, along with Thomas Caleel of Admittedly and a representative of Avenues School. Families here with a student deciding where to apply will find a useful starting point in that idea alone: some of what gets repeated about admissions deserves a closer look.
Town & Country has turned its attention to Sheila Johnson and finds her well into a third act, and running it with real mastery. The phrase deserves a reader's attention. A third act is the part of a life that comes after the first success and after the reinvention, and few people get to play it with this much assurance. On the North End, where people tend to measure a life by how well its later chapters are lived, that is the kind of achievement worth raising a glass to in the middle of the season.
There's now a guide to reading Ali Hazelwood's romance novels from the first one onward. The case for starting at the beginning is the heroine Hazelwood is known for: a woman whose working life is in science, technology, engineering or mathematics, and who no other romance writer draws quite as well. For a reader settling in at the club pool or on a chaise on the North End, it's a clear place to start, and the books stack neatly on the side table. Love stories with a laboratory or a lecture hall in the background make a smart choice for the season.
Town & Country's editors have tested the field and named one dog stroller the best in its class, the benchmark the others get measured against. The verdict is for the dog who would sooner ride than walk, and for the owner who wants that ride done properly. On an island where a well-kept companion often joins the afternoon stroll, a carriage chosen by T&C's standards looks right at home. The well-made, it turns out, goes all the way down to the smallest passenger.
Anyone who studies red carpets learns that the look people remember is rarely the first one. The Zoe Report has gathered a group of driven women who left the jobs they once wanted most and went on to lead in entirely different fields. The piece treats walking away as a first step rather than a loss. Readers in Palm Beach and Beverly Hills will know this story well: sometimes the change of course is the part worth remembering.
Paul McCartney has said publicly that he has an idea for the music at Taylor Swift's wedding, and he said it on the couch at Jimmy Kimmel Live. He didn't say it at a press event or in a long profile. He said it as a late-night guest, which is the friendliest kind of place to say it. Our readers will want the details, and we don't have them yet: the wire item doesn't spell out his plan, and we won't guess at it. For a fashion archive, though, a wedding where one of music's great names wants a hand in the evening is one we're already watching.
Sarah Jessica Parker founded the New York City Ballet's Fall Fashion Gala, and this season the evening's founder was also one of its two headliners. She shared the room's attention with Stevie Nicks, and by Vogue's account the pair carried the night. Over its 14 seasons the benefit has brought in more than $40 million for the company, which is serious money for an evening that is supposed to be about the dancing. The gala has always paired the ballet with fashion, and it draws major figures from across the arts. That is why an archive like ours keeps a close eye on it. A fall gala at the ballet is one of the few nights when what the guests wear gets nearly as much attention as what happens on stage, and this year two women got most of it. New York sets a high bar for a benefit, and this one cleared it again.
Jennifer Lawrence has paired thong sandals with roomy utility trousers and a knit cardigan sheer enough to let the light through, and she's wearing it all in autumn. The combination ignores the usual rule that sandals go away when the calendar turns. A light, see-through knit over hard-working pockets, with bare feet underneath, is a smart answer for readers from Naples to Beverly Hills, where October often feels more like a long summer than the start of sweater season. It's a relaxed outfit that still looks deliberate, and it can be worn just as easily on Worth Avenue as on Rodeo Drive.
New York lifted a glass to Gustavo Dudamel this season, with guests toasting the maestro as he arrives at the New York Philharmonic. The welcome fits the moment. The Philharmonic is the oldest of the country's five great orchestras, and when it changes leaders, the whole city takes notice. A martini is a fitting drink for the occasion: classic, exact, and very much a New York choice for greeting a conductor at the start of his tenure. For readers who follow who stands at the center of the city's grandest rooms, few new arrivals matter more than the person now leading its most storied orchestra.
Two juveniles that cost serious money at auction start their careers on Sunday, one on each coast. In New York, the fourth race at Belmont is a maiden special weight for 2-year-old fillies, worth $100,000, at a mile and a sixteenth on the turf, with post time at 2:11 p.m. Eastern. Tasha's Pride (GB), a daughter of Frankel, is in the field. She was bought as a yearling at the Tattersalls October sale for 600,000 guineas, about $845,742, with agent David Ingordo signing the ticket. Out west, Mo Chuisle runs for the first time at Santa Anita. Mo Chuisle sold for $825,000 at the OBS April sale of 2-year-olds in training. Sunday is the first time either of these sale-ring prices gets measured on the racetrack.
Mystik Bayou has given his sire, Wells Bayou, the first win of his stud career. That matters to a young stallion and to anyone breeding to him, because the opening win shows his foals can get it done on the track. The colt also has a famous family name: he shares a dam with Mystik Dan, the Derby winner, so he comes to the winner's circle with a known pedigree behind him. Before this win he ran in a maiden at Saratoga, a race that later stood out because the winner was U.S.S. Valor, a son of War of Will who went on to be named a 'TDN Rising Star.' Mystik Bayou finished third there, close behind the horses ahead of him. That race was a strong one to come out of, and he has now built on it by winning. For a stallion still early in his career, the first win from a well-connected colt is a good start.
Brickyard Belle is now two for two. The Yaupon runner first won on debut on Aug. 27, sprinting on Saratoga's turf course, a race that earned the "TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard" label. In the Matron, Brickyard Belle backed that up with a strong late run to win again. A second straight win makes the Rising Star label look well earned. It also gives the Yaupon name one more horse to watch.
Klaravich Stables won Saturday's Miss Grillo with Domestic Agenda, a 2-year-old filly by American Pharoah, and she was plainly the best in the race. Her pedigree reads well on paper. American Pharoah is her sire, and her dam, Smuggle, is a daughter of Gun Runner, which gives this juvenile two well-known American names on either side of her family. For an owner, a race like the Miss Grillo is an early test of a young filly, and this one passed it with room to spare. Readers who follow the sales catalogs and the stallion barns will want to remember her name and her pedigree.
U. S. S. Valor, a son of War of Will, won the Champagne for Team Valor International, the outfit that bred him and still races him. A colt that carries his breeder's silks into a major juvenile race says something about the program behind him: the mating, the foaling and the early lessons all happened under the same people who were cheering on raceday. The win puts his name at the front of the discussion about the Grade I Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Keeneland. Whether he goes to Lexington is still up to his connections. If they send him, a homegrown colt from War of Will will bring a Champagne win with him into one of the most important races of the juvenile season.
Evanescence is a 4-year-old daughter of Munnings, out of the Pioneerof the Nile mare Lovely Carina. She won the Grade II Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes at Keeneland, and she won it late, finding her best run in the final furlongs of the homestretch. The victory keeps her unbeaten at the Lexington track, where she has never lost a race. For a sire like Munnings, a graded win at Keeneland is the kind of result that gets noticed by breeders as well as racegoers. It also carries the Pioneerof the Nile name on the bottom side of a filly who keeps showing her best at this one track.
The Flower Bowl Stakes is run Thursday as a Grade 2 with a $500,000 purse, and that is reason enough for the turf set to plan around it. The race already carries Chad Brown's mark, since the trainer's stable has sent out a Flower Bowl winner before, and his name is attached to this year's renewal too. For readers who follow the barn rather than the board, his return to the race is the story, and it shows how steadily one American operation keeps turning up in good company on the grass. We'll leave the predicting to others and simply watch the field go to the post.

The industry's weekly ledger is out, and the news this time is in the corner offices as much as on the charts. Executives changed desks across town, and labels and publishers added artists to their rosters, the sort of movement that tends to happen quietly in Green Hills and Berry Hill before anyone hears a note of it. The chart tallies ride along as usual. For readers who track who is placing bets on whom in Nashville, this is the week's scorecard.
Herald Square has asked for amusement rides. The plaza at the foot of 34th Street, long a place to cross rather than to linger, would take on a little of the carnival air that Times Square has made its own a few blocks north. The two squares already trade foot traffic along Broadway. With this, they begin to share a temperament as well.
A house can be photographed from the street, priced by the square foot and dated by its architect, but the bed is the one room its owner judges every single night. Architectural Digest's editors have now done that judging on the reader's behalf, working through linens sold on Amazon and settling on ten they were willing to put their names beside. The list is not a catalog of the costly or the rare. It is a short roll of sheets that ordinary delivery can bring to a Palm Beach guest room or a Nashville primary suite as easily as to anywhere else in the country. For anyone finishing a house this season, that is a rare kind of help: a recommendation that costs nothing to act on and that the people who look at interiors for a living were content to sleep on themselves.
A trial run of artificial intelligence can prove that a system completes a given job inside a hotel or travel company. Moving it from a trial into the daily operation of the business is a different matter, and it hinges on a person being accountable for what the system produces. That same person must deal with the cases the technology does not anticipate, and must be able to show the expense pays off. For the well-run properties in Palm Beach, Aspen or New York weighing such tools, that is the standard the industry is now describing.
Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is on the verge of being finalized, bringing two of the entertainment business's best-known names under one roof. The agreement follows close to a year of negotiations. Entertainment executives across Europe, where Paramount chief David Ellison has spent time building relationships, have largely expressed a favorable view of the combination, with one citing belief in his commitment to the business. For the Los Angeles area, which is home to both companies, the deal's closing marks a notable moment for the studio sector.
Timberland has put out a limited Día de Muertos edition of its boots, in men's and women's sizes, and you can buy it today. Two details set it apart from the usual pair: parts of the boot change color, and it comes with small charms you can hang on it. That makes this less a practical boot and more something you wear on purpose, with the collection's name written on its sleeve. From Miami to Los Angeles, it's a seasonal boot worth a look while it's on the shelf.
Bethenny Frankel has tested what sounds like an endless run of bedding, and one set keeps coming out on top for her: sheets she describes as soft as butter. That is a high bar for a fabric that never gets near a red carpet, and a useful one for anyone making up a bed in Palm Beach or the Hamptons this season. Other shoppers seem to agree with her. Reviewers have called the set exceptional, and some say it changed how they think about sheets altogether.
The field for Sunday's Grade I Juddmonte Spinster Stakes at Keeneland is small, but three of the fillies and mares in it have already won at the highest level of the sport. Fully Subscribed heads that group. A short field like this has no filler in it. Any horse a reader picks out in the paddock is one that has already won a Grade I race. The Spinster is also part of the "Win and You're In" program, so on Sunday afternoon in Lexington the winner earns more than the trophy and the Grade I title: she also gets an automatic place in a bigger race still to come. Racegoers along the Keeneland rail will be watching proven Grade I winners run against each other, with nothing in the field there just to fill out the gate.
Elle Decor's monthly design horoscope casts October as a time for reassessing what you live with, and it credits the shift to Venus, which is now moving backward in the sky. Read in an American house, that means a walk through the rooms you already own to look again at what earns its place and what no longer does. It doesn't call for a renovation or a purchase, only a clearer look at choices you've already made. For readers who measure a house by its architecture and its upkeep, a month of looking closely is a fitting season.
The castle that served as the backdrop for Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" is going up for auction. It's a rare case of a house that millions of people already know by sight, though few could name it, being offered to bidders. No starting bid or final price is on the record yet, and this desk doesn't guess at either. It's worth following because an auction will put a public number on a residence that most viewers know only as a set. The same week brought several other notable properties to market, including homes tied to Julia Child, Jackson Pollock, Diane Keaton, Meghan Markle and King George III.
Caroline and Anthony started with a format, not a theme: they wanted a small wedding run as a dinner party, not a large reception. The venue was The Argyle Club in San Antonio, and the planning firm was Ash Event Co. The firm built the evening inside a tent and kept the palette to two colors, green and white. The magnolia appears twice. Custom drapery printed with the motif lines the tent, and actual magnolia trees stand inside it. Pairing a printed fabric with the living plant is the detail worth studying if you're weighing a tent. It shows how much of a tent's interior can be designed from scratch, from the fabric walls to the greenery placed on the floor. For a couple who want a seated dinner rather than a crowded room, this wedding shows a tent being used to make a space feel enclosed and personal.
The United States Marine Corps says it has brought in more new recruits in 2026 than it set out to. In a capital that measures a good year in announcements, this one is quietly satisfying: a goal was set, and the Corps went past it. Behind it is the work of recruiters doing the plain, careful job of finding new Marines, and the young Americans who chose to sign. We note it here as we would any institution finishing its year ahead of plan.
The President will be in the stands in Tuscaloosa next week when the University of Alabama hosts the University of Georgia, the White House calendar's newest entry for the Southern autumn. President Trump shared the plan on Friday, and it marks another trip back to Alabama for him. A presidential visit changes how a stadium Saturday feels: the President is a guest among a crowd that came to see the two teams on the field. For the two universities, their supporters and the town, the date now carries the added weight of a head of state's attendance.
Tinashe is 33 and describes her current outlook as assured and confident. Her latest work is titled "Popstar." In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, the singer said she wants to question what the term "pop star" means, and she used her own title to do it. She described herself as secure in her footing at this stage of her career. The work carries a two-word name, and the artist has made that label the subject of the work itself.
David Ellison spoke to employees on the Paramount lot in Los Angeles about a new name, according to Variety Film. The temperature in the city reached 102 degrees that day, the outlet reported. Variety Film described the studio as busy with work tied to Skydance's upcoming closing. Ellison also said goodbye to two people the outlet named as Mike and Pam. He discussed the groundwork for "Barbie 2," according to the report. The Paramount lot is in Los Angeles, and the studio is one of the city's working film properties. The report did not give the new name or a date for the closing.
The temperature in Los Angeles reached 102 degrees on Friday, and staff on the Paramount studio lot were busy despite the heat. Work on the lot centered on preparing for the closing of Skydance's transaction. David Ellison spoke to employees about a new name. He also laid the groundwork for a second "Barbie" film. The work is taking place at the studio's Los Angeles lot.
Rick Devens won "Big Brother" on Thursday night. He is the first player from "Survivor" to win the show. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter after the finale, Devens discussed how his time on "Survivor" prepared him for the game, and his decision to evict Drew Campbell before the final two. He also talked about turning down a cameo in James Gunn's "Superman 2."
George Cheeks, who chairs Paramount's TV media operations, is under consideration for a larger leadership role at Skydance now that Paramount and Warner Bros. have combined, according to Variety. His current responsibilities cover the whole of CBS along with the Paramount cable networks. The report says his oversight could grow inside the merged company. No company has announced any new title or responsibilities, and the account has not been confirmed.
George Cheeks, who heads the CBS networks, is expected to take on more responsibility under David Ellison, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The publication reports that his oversight is set to grow as Warner Bros. Discovery assets come under Skydance. No new title or formal announcement has been reported. For readers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles, where much of the television business is run, the report points to a larger role for the executive already in charge of CBS's networks.
A new film festival devoted to Muslim stories begins Oct. 11 at the SVA Theatre in Manhattan. It is the festival's first year in New York. Organizers describe the program as a reply to the narrow, one-dimensional image of Muslims that Western media has often presented. They have announced the films selected for the opening edition and the jury that will review them. For audiences in New York, the festival brings a new cultural event to the fall film calendar and adds Muslim filmmakers' work to a Manhattan screen.
A new film festival focused on Muslim filmmaking will open its first edition on Oct. 11 at the SVA Theatre in Manhattan, according to Variety. Organizers have announced the films in the program and the members of the jury that will judge them. The festival describes its purpose as offering audiences a picture of Muslim life beyond the narrow, stereotyped portrayals that Variety says are common in Western media. Organizers have also said they do not want the festival to only respond to those portrayals, and want the films to stand on their own terms. The program and jury were first announced in an exclusive report. The SVA Theatre is in Manhattan, and New York audiences will be the first to see the festival's opening program.
For Spring 2027, Hun Kim, who leads design at Karl Lagerfeld, took a house as his reference: Casa Malaparte, and its severe, pared-back architecture. The result is a set of clothes with strong lines that still have some polish to them. They're precise, but they never turn cold. Kim's real skill here is restraint: the geometry is there, but it doesn't cut. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, this is a wardrobe for anyone who likes a clean line but has no use for a hard one.
Maurice Malone, founder of Williamsburg Garment Co., came to the Black Footwear Forum ready to look back. In an interview with WWD at the forum, he returned to Detroit, recalling a store built around hip-hop, and Eminem along with it. He traced the road his work in clothing has taken, and spoke about what Black designers have had to push for along the way. Later he shared the stage with April Walker for a conversation in front of the forum's audience. That gave the room two designers in one session, at a forum centered on Black footwear. For an archive that cares about who, where and when, it is an entry worth filing carefully: a designer, a Detroit memory and a stage shared with a peer.
Maurice Malone, founder of Williamsburg Garment Co., came to the Black Footwear Forum with stories to tell. Speaking with WWD during the forum, he looked back on the store he ran in Detroit, a shop built around the city's hip-hop culture. Eminem came up when he talked about those days. Malone also described the path that took him from that storefront to the label he runs now. Later he joined April Walker on stage, so the forum's audience heard two designers in conversation. One subject he raised was the fight Black designers have had to take on in the fashion business. For an archive that keeps track of who made what, and when, a designer telling his own story in his own words is worth writing down.
Daisy Edgar-Jones has been making the promotional rounds for Sense and Sensibility, and the outfits have gotten as much attention as the project. The real test of a publicity run is staying consistent across every appearance, and by this account she has passed it. Around here we keep records of who wore what and when, and a full run of looks from one campaign is the kind of set worth saving and studying from first stop to last.
EE72 celebrated its first year, and the guests who stepped in front of the cameras gave the night real star power. Cynthia Erivo, Zoe Saldana and Emmy Rossum were among the famous names who came out for the milestone. A first birthday is a small number that carries a lot of weight, and a guest list like this one is the welcome anything new would hope for. The archive has the date, though the designer credits will have to wait for another night.
Most productions get one turn in New York. Marin Ireland's play "Pre-Existing Condition" has earned a second, and this time it's at the Greenwich House Theater. Anyone who missed it the first time has until January 8 to see it. A return engagement is the theater's version of being invited back, and this desk likes to mark that kind of arrival. Plan your winter calendar to match.
Harper's Bazaar has counted eleven beauty advent calendars that are already available to buy, with Tatcha and Dior among the names on the list. An advent calendar is one gift that unwraps itself a little each day, which makes it the rare present you only have to buy once. Here at the desk we usually track who wore what and when; these boxes are about what goes on before anyone gets dressed at all. Whether the holiday list starts in Palm Beach or Beverly Hills, it can already include them.
A filly by Nyquist has won the Grade I Darley Alcibiades, and she did it against one of the toughest small fields of the juvenile season. Seven two-year-old fillies went to the post. They included the winner of the Grade I Spinaway, three youngsters that Thoroughbred Daily News had already singled out as promising, and a filly who shares both sire and dam with this year's Grade I Kentucky Oaks winner. Beating that group gives the Nyquist filly a top-level win and marks her as a young horse to watch.
A horse named Coach Pope has been entered in the Breeders' Futurity, which puts a basketball name in the entry box of one of the fall's important tests. The race runs on dirt, not hardwood, but the name will make readers who follow both sports look twice. Before the field goes into the gate, the program may make it look as though there is more than one Coach Pope in the race. Once it starts, only the one with four legs counts.
Zimmer, a son of Maclean's Music bred and owned by Godolphin, won the first race of his career. He prepared for it at Michael Stidham's base at Delaware Park. On Sept. 25 he covered five furlongs there in 1:01 3/5, the fastest of eight horses timed at that distance that morning. A timed morning work tells a trainer more than a race-day crowd ever sees: how the colt handled the distance, how he came back, and whether he was ready to be entered. Stidham's barn read those signs correctly, and the colt won when it counted. For Godolphin, a debut winner from its own breeding program by Maclean's Music is the kind of result a breeding program is built for. For anyone who follows the Delaware Park backstretch, it's a reminder that the work done on the training track in the early morning shows up later in the race results.
The Bellini Astor 38 started as a private commission, and the person who commissioned it races at Le Mans. That shows in the brief. The 38-foot sport yacht has a hull shaped around the way a driver sits, braces and reaches in a race car, and the boat is planned around those positions. The seating borrows the trim language of a fine automobile, and carbon fiber details show up throughout. Many of our readers keep a well-kept garage as well as a slip. For them the appeal is obvious: a boat in which the habits of a driver's seat were part of the design from the first sketch, not added at the end. At 38 feet it stays a manageable size, and every choice on board answers to someone who knows what a good cockpit should feel like.
Sylvester Stallone has written a memoir called The Steps, and it covers the years before anyone knew his name. He writes about the many times he was turned down, and about the odd jobs he took to get by, including cleaning lion cages. Money was tight for much of that time, and he doesn't hide it. The book follows how those years led to a career that made him one of the most familiar faces in American film. Plenty of people in the best rooms of the season started somewhere far less polished, and it's good to see one of them write that part down.
The FAA has hired more air traffic controllers than in any earlier hiring period on record. As of August, the agency was still a few hundred people below the staffing level it set for itself, so the gap is narrowing but has not closed. Owners fly IFR in the same system as everyone else and depend on the controllers on the frequency, so the size of that workforce matters to them.
Amanda and Rami held their wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Naples with a black tie dress code and a palette of just two colors, white and olive green. YCWeddings & Events planned the day and ran it. The look the couple wanted was the romance of an older, more formal era, and much of the room's light came from candles. For a bride thinking about the same approach, the useful part is how little they used. A two-color scheme, with olive green as the only color against white, keeps every table, arrangement and printed piece consistent without asking the eye to track much. A formal dress code and candlelight both push the evening in the same direction, so it reads as one decision instead of a dozen separate ones. Handing that consistency to one planning firm is the practical way to keep it holding from the first detail to the last.
A couple in Cookeville, Tennessee, didn't book a venue and decorate it. They held the wedding at a family home and let the grounds make the main decisions. Its long-established trees and planted gardens did the job a ballroom's architecture usually does: they gave the day its frame. The flowers were chosen to match what was already there. They were mostly green and white, with a small amount of blush for warmth. Guests sat under a sailcloth tent, and hydrangeas hung above them in a suspended installation, so the flowers were overhead as well as on the tables. If you're thinking about a wedding on private property, the lesson here is the order of decisions: walk the grounds first, then build the palette around them.
Robb Report Dining has picked seven white wines from Oregon it recommends opening now, a state better known for its red wines. The list also points to the Willamette Valley's sparkling wines as worth a reader's attention. For anyone setting a table this season, whether in New York, Nashville or Naples, that gives one American wine region two reasons to be in the glass: a still white with dinner and something with bubbles before it. The wines are from this country, and the case for them is quality.
Wait — I can't name the street; the wire only says Chelsea. Lee Bul's First Show With Hauser & Wirth Brings a Vast Airship Into Chelsea Lee Bul has opened her first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, in Chelsea, and its centerpiece is an enormous airship suspended inside the gallery. The work looks at modern progress from both sides: what it promised and where it fell short. The show handles that subject as poetry, not argument, and lets the image of a great floating craft carry the idea. For collectors who follow the gallery's program in New York, it marks the moment an important artist joins one of the city's major houses.
Tesla has made a set of small refinements to the Model 3. The Performance version gains 18 more horsepower, and the cabin display gets larger. The changes adjust a familiar shape rather than starting over. For Model 3 owners, from a Palm Beach garage to a driveway in Colorado, the extra horsepower is the update that will matter most.
Porsche intends to bring back a combustion-engine Macan, with the gas model projected to rejoin the range in 2028. For American owners and collectors who drive Porsche's compact SUV, that means the gasoline Macan will once again be available alongside the rest of the range. From Palm Beach driveways to the switchbacks above Aspen, it puts a familiar choice back in front of the buyer: the Macan with a gasoline engine under the hood. For now 2028 is the year to mark, and the details are Porsche's to announce.
Madonna has bought Angelina Jolie's Los Angeles estate in Los Feliz for a little under $25 million. The property covers two acres, and its earlier owners include Cecil B. DeMille, one of the founding names of American film. That puts a director from Hollywood's first chapter, one of the defining actresses of a later one and a singer who has been at the top of pop for decades on the same deed history. Down here we tend to measure a house by how close it is to the water or the club. In Los Angeles the comparable question seems to be whose name was on the deed before yours, and this address does well on that count. Two acres is a lot of ground anywhere, whether that's Palm Beach, Naples or Miami, and it's even more notable when it sits inside a major city. People in Florida know that a good house picks up its stories one owner at a time, and this one has just added another.
Porsche is planning to bring a combustion-engine Macan back into its range, with 2028 as the target year. For Florida owners, that means a gasoline Macan should be available again, whether it ends up at a Worth Avenue curb, a Brickell valet stand or a Fifth Avenue South parking spot. That's still a couple of years away, which gives Naples plenty of time to think it over and Miami plenty of time to act as if it already decided.
Architectural Digest has picked nine pillows for 2026, each chosen because it brings the feel of a fine hotel bed into a private bedroom. The idea is to have that kind of sleep at home without booking a trip. In a primary suite in Palm Beach or a guest room in Aspen, the pillow is one of the last things a host settles on. It's also where a well-dressed bed shows its quality most plainly.
Variety Film has reviewed "Behemoth!", a film from Tony Gilroy in which Pedro Pascal plays a classical cellist in the middle of a personal reckoning in his middle years. The review describes the film as several things at once: a story about a working musician, a portrait of a man taking stock of his life, and a mystery with a love story at its center. According to the review, the film also has Gilroy experimenting with the craft of filmmaking itself.
Variety has published a review of "Behemoth!", a film from Tony Gilroy in which Pedro Pascal plays a cellist. The review describes the film as several kinds of picture at once: a story about a working musician, the story of a man at midlife, and a romance built as a mystery. It also describes the film as Gilroy experimenting with how a movie can be made. Variety calls the result polished and elevated. For readers in Beverly Hills, it is a review to note: a director and a lead actor taking on a story centered on the craft of music.
Emphatic won the Alcibiades, and the victory earns her a starting place in the Juvenile Fillies, where the best two-year-old fillies in the country will meet. For a filly that young, a win that also guarantees a spot in a championship race is about as much as one afternoon can give. On the same card, Nakatomi took the Phoenix for the second time, winning a race he had won before. Both horses go into the rest of the autumn as winners, and for the American turf that is reason enough to take note.

A spring wedding at The Brown Hotel took its outdoor feel from a short list: candlelight and a pastel palette, set inside the hotel's Crystal Ballroom. The room is historic and already heavily decorated, so it didn't need to be built up. The couple didn't fight the gilt and detail. They used soft color and flame so the room read as a spring garden without moving the party outside. For a bride comparing venues, that's the useful part. A room with this much built-in finish can carry the look on its own, and the décor list can stay short. Candles warm up a formal room, and pastels lighten it without hiding the architecture. The ceremony was held separately at St. James, and the guests then moved to the hotel for the reception. Any couple planning a ceremony-then-reception day should account for that move in the timeline. If you want a garden mood without depending on spring weather, look at a ballroom that's already finished and keep the additions simple.
Amanda and Rami married at the Ritz-Carlton in Naples with a strict two-color scheme of white and olive, a formal dress code and candlelight. The palette is the part a bride planning her own day can use. Holding a room to two colors cuts a long list of choices down to a short one, from linens and florals to paper. White and olive suit a formal evening better than a brighter accent would, and both look good under candles. YCWeddings & Events planned the day. When the dress code is formal and the look is this disciplined, a planner keeps the details consistent from one end of the evening to the other. The couple went for an older, romantic style: formal dress, a narrow color scheme and soft light. This wedding shows how far those three choices can carry a room.
Janus Navem is up for sale, and she's in Fort Lauderdale, where an American buyer can go and see her in person. She's a Bellissima, the 130 model from the Italian yard Riva. In the engine room she carries a matched pair of MTU 16V2000 M96L diesels. Those are the details an owner checks first, and they're the ones on the record. Riva hasn't been credited with a naval architect in this report, and no asking price has been published, so we'll leave both alone until they're stated. For now, buyers have a named Riva with a stated engine package, and she's waiting in Florida's yachting capital.
The Bellini Astor 38 started with a commission from a driver who races at Le Mans, and it shows in how the boat is laid out. The hull was shaped around the way a racing cockpit holds its driver, so the seating and helm follow track logic rather than the usual dayboat pattern. The upholstery takes its cues from fine car interiors, and carbon details run through the trim. For owners who split their weekends between the paddock and the dock, this 38-footer is built to feel familiar in both places.
Out of thousands of young actors who tried for it, Joseph Zada is the one who will play Haymitch Abernathy in *The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping*. It's a well-loved part, and he earned it the old-fashioned way: a long casting call and a single name at the end. Vanity Fair also suggests that the actor and the character have a little more in common than the script. It's the kind of name people around the dinner table will start mentioning well before the film opens.
Here on the island, it is understood that the hardest thing to do well is to want something without letting it show. Tom Cruise, the star of Digger, now faces that same task as the film goes after Oscar recognition. Hollywood has lately been reminded that awards voters cool quickly on anyone who seems too hungry for the prize. Cruise's job between now and the envelope is the one every good host here knows by heart: be present, be gracious, and let the work speak first.
Sylvester Stallone has written a memoir, and he has called it *The Steps*. It's about the stretch of his life before the fame: many years when the answer was no, the money was thin, and he took whatever work kept him going. One of those jobs, by his own account, was cleaning out lion cages. The pages follow him from there to his place among the most recognizable faces American film has ever produced. It's an arrival story, and he tells it from the far side of the arrival, looking back at the long climb. A book like that suits the season, when an afternoon by the water leaves time to read about how a career like his was actually built.
Turnbull & Asser has released a new menswear collection inspired by James Bond, and by Casino Royale in particular. It's being offered as an answer to what to wear over the holidays. In this state, people ask that question differently on Worth Avenue than in Brickell, and differently again on Fifth Avenue South. A film named for a casino suggests long, elegant evenings, which is roughly how a Palm Beach December is meant to go. Miami may dress louder and Naples may dress earlier, but all three understand a Bond reference.
Aston Martin plans to keep building cars with eight- and twelve-cylinder engines all the way to 2035, and it has moved its first battery-electric model further down the calendar. For Florida drivers, that means nearly another decade of the big-engine Aston, a car known as much for how it sounds as for how it looks. It will sound one way pulling out of a Brickell garage, another arriving on Royal Palm Way, and in Naples most people will simply notice that it parked very well. Whichever coast you drive, the engine you know is staying.
A note to readers who spend the season between Worth Avenue and Fifth Avenue South: a house in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is now for sale for $6.5 million. It's the house where "The French Chef" began, the program that brought Julia Child's cooking into American living rooms. The one room everyone would want to see isn't part of the sale. Her kitchen is at the Smithsonian, so whoever buys the house gets the address and the history, and anyone who wants to see the stove will have to go to the museum like everybody else. In Miami that might count as a flaw. In Palm Beach and Naples, where people would rather have a good story than a new appliance, it probably doesn't. A house can be historic without its most famous room, and this one is, because a well-loved piece of American television got its start there. We'd guess more than one Gulf Coast dinner host is already looking at New England listings this morning.
Cazcanes has released a set of reposado tequilas, and each one rested in a barrel that had earlier held a liqueur made from stone fruit, with a different fruit's liqueur behind every barrel. It brings the one-barrel-at-a-time idea that whiskey drinkers know well to agave. In Miami that sounds like the start of a cocktail menu, in Palm Beach like a new bottle for the bar cart, and in Naples like something to sip slowly on the lanai while everyone argues over which barrel was best. All three are right.
Our readers know the West Coast story already: everyone in Beverly Hills lives close to someone famous, and in Palm Beach nobody admits to noticing. Tyler Perry's Beverly Hills estate is now for sale, asking $57 million. The house runs to 25,000 square feet. That would be roomy even on the ocean blocks of Palm Beach, and in Naples it would get a second look from neighbors who are rarely impressed. The detail people will remember is the guest list: the Duke and Duchess of Sussex once stayed there. A Miami listing would put that fact in the first line, and Palm Beach would mention it only to the right buyer. For a buyer who moves between coasts, this is a California house whose past guests, in Florida terms, set it apart.
Seth Cutler, chief executive of Ionna, does not think an electric car needs to recharge as quickly as a gasoline car takes on fuel. In conversation with The Drive, he said drivers rarely treat a fill-up as a quick dash in and out. He pointed to Buc-ee's and Wawa, two American roadside names where a stop usually involves more than the pump. In his view, people driving on electricity behave the same way. That is worth hearing for any owner who has timed a road trip around where to stop, and it says something about how this company sees the break between one stretch of highway and the next.
On a Montana wheat operation, a 1977 Big Bud is pulling its weight again. Welker Farms put the tractor back into service for the wheat harvest after fitting it with a Cummins engine rated at 700 horsepower. The Big Bud ranks among the largest tractors ever built anywhere, and an example from 1977 is a machine collectors know on sight. This one is not sitting in a shed or on a show field. Welker Farms chose to give it a new heart and send it to the wheat. That 700-horsepower figure is the number owners of heavy iron will notice first. Collectors usually admire a machine of this size and vintage as a survivor. At Welker Farms it is also a working tractor again, with a current Cummins powerplant and a harvest to bring in.
For the 2026 model year, Jeep has redesigned how the Wrangler's doors come off, so owners can now detach them by hand with no tools at all. That has always been the heart of owning a Wrangler, whether that means a beach road in Florida or a mountain pass in Colorado, and now it takes much less work. The Drive tested the change and found it a real step forward that makes the truck more fun to own. Wrangler owners who have spent a Saturday morning in the driveway with a socket set will see right away why this matters.
Aston Martin's first all-electric car will not arrive before 2033. Until then, the British marque stays with the gasoline-powered cars it has always built. For American owners and collectors, from Palm Beach to Aspen, that means the engine note they bought into stays part of the brand for years yet. The company is putting its effort where its strength already lies.
Aston Martin plans to keep building cars around eight- and twelve-cylinder engines until 2035, which is good news for owners who choose a car by how many cylinders it has. The plan comes as the marque delays its first fully electric model, and this is not the first delay. For collectors from Palm Beach to Aspen, it means the big engine that defines an Aston Martin will keep appearing in new cars for years yet.
A new crop of electric vehicles is on the way, but none of them can be ordered yet. Each one is at a different point in development: some are still concepts, and others are nearing the assembly line. Not all of them are sure to make it; a few may be dropped before they ever reach a dealer. For owners from Palm Beach to Aspen who like to know what's coming before it arrives, it's a list worth keeping in the glovebox.
Tesla has refreshed the Model 3 with a handful of modest updates. The headline change for drivers is in the Performance version, which now makes 18 more horsepower than before. The cabin also gets a larger display. None of it changes what the car is, but it is a careful step forward for one of the most common electric sedans in American driveways, from Naples to Aspen.
For a second straight week, Ella Langley's single sits at No. 1 on MusicRow's radio chart. Getting to the top of a radio chart is hard, and staying there for a second week is harder. It means stations kept playing the record after it first reached the summit. In a town that measures careers in spins, that kind of staying power gets noticed up and down the Row.
Kameron Marlowe has a new full-length record coming. It's his third, and he's named it after himself. It arrives January 22, released through Sony Music. Giving a third album your own name is a confident move, and in this town people will notice that.
After more than forty years of recording, Wynonna has made a new album, and she says it is the most demanding project of her career and also the best. On this record she tells her own story more openly than she ever has before. In an interview with the Nashville trade press, she spoke of the difficulty and the pride together. Coming from an artist this far into her career, that is a claim about the work worth taking seriously.
The songwriters' organization BMI and Studio Bank are carrying their arrangement forward, continuing a relationship that first took shape in 2023. In Nashville, where the people who write the songs and the people who look after money often end up in the same rooms, it's good to see a pairing like this kept going. A renewal says more than a first signing does. It means both sides looked at the last few years and decided to stay.
The Swon Brothers have a new label home: the duo is now on the Adrian James Records roster. In this town a signing is how talent shows its intentions. Somebody chose to back the act and the act chose to accept, and a deal is that choice in writing. We're glad to note it, and glad to watch what the partnership produces.
Triple Tigers Records has reached its tenth year as an independent label, with chart successes and records certified Platinum several times over to show for it. Lasting that long without a major company behind it is no small thing in this business, and Music Row tends to notice when it happens. In a town where the real music work gets done in Green Hills living rooms and in studios off 16th Avenue, the anniversary of an independent label that has done well is worth raising a glass to.
Brooks & Dunn have two more certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America. One of the songs being honored is "Neon Moon." In this town, people keep track of these milestones, and a pair of them is worth noting for any act.
A 2020 Diamond DA40 NG is on the market, and AircraftForSale has singled out the listing for buyers. Flight schools have relied on the DA40 for years, and that history is the usual way people know the airplane. The listing argues that its composite airframe also performs well enough and does enough jobs to suit someone flying for themselves. An owner in Naples or Aspen who already understands the difference between a trainer's reputation and a privately kept airplane's logbook may want to look closely at this one.
AVweb's picture for October 2 shows a NASA F-5 coming down toward the runway at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The airplane is a small, sharp-nosed fighter in a space agency's markings, on short final to the same strip of Wisconsin concrete that private owners use. Anyone who has flown their own airplane into Oshkosh will know the view from the cockpit. This time a government jet is the one on short final.
The FAA has hired more air traffic controllers than in any year before, a milestone worth noting for anyone who regularly files IFR. As of August, the agency still had several hundred fewer controllers than the number it set for itself. For owners, controller staffing comes down to the people on the other end of the frequency. The record year moves things the right way, and the remaining gap is the number to watch.
The food advent calendars for 2026 are already on sale, with the first of December still two months off. Eater has put together a guide to this year's best, and it comes from a simple idea: in a month spent buying for everyone else, one gift can be kept for the person who opens the little door each morning. From a kitchen counter in Naples to a pantry shelf in Aspen, the routine is the same. Open one small window before coffee and eat one small thing, every morning until the 24th.
VideoThe fourth episode of Flying's "Aviation Start" series looks at pilots who are paid by the day instead of being kept on a payroll. Jay Kadir, who flies Gulfstreams, explains how that work is
Cazcanes has released a set of reposado tequilas in which every bottling rested in its own barrel. Before the agave spirit went in, each of those barrels had held a liqueur made from a pitted orchard fruit, and no two held the same one. That makes it a lineup of siblings with one difference between them: what the wood held before. For anyone who keeps a serious bar cart or orders down the agave list after dinner, it's a chance to taste how much a barrel's earlier contents can shape a tequila, one cask at a time.
Hilton's chief executive has said the company wants reservations made by AI agents to be easy. That means the software assistants a traveler might ask to find and reserve a room. The technology is still catching up to that welcome. Meta's assistant, Muse, often has trouble getting a rate from the websites of the big hotel companies. For now, an agent may have better luck going through an online travel agency than through the hotel's own site.
Oregon's whites have earned a fresh shortlist, and Robb Report has named seven bottles from the state that it thinks belong in the glass this season. Its picks also point to sparkling wine from the Willamette Valley, which shows the valley can make more than still wine. For anyone choosing what to pour at an American table, that means Oregon now has a case for both the opening toast and the white that comes after it.
One of this week's New York rentals worth a closer look sits on Himrod Street, and part of what makes it stand out is a backyard finished in concrete. A hard-surfaced yard is a city kind of luxury: it asks little upkeep and can hold a table, a few chairs and a summer evening. In a market where private outdoor space behind an apartment is rare, a yard done well is worth noticing. No price or other details were given, so we report only the address and the yard.
VideoShuffle Along, one of the great names in Broadway history, has come back in concert form, and seats were hard to get. Its return was marked with a party where well-known faces filled the gue
Penny Hardy has published a book about the streetery, the dining room that moved off the sidewalk and into the street, and she covers its earliest, roughest years. Her subject is building by people who were never trained as architects, put up during a difficult period. The book gives those makeshift rooms the attention usually given to houses with an architect's name on them. Readers who follow how American places are built will see a book that takes design seriously wherever it turns up, including at the curb.
Sunshine Thacker, the ceramist and artist, has built a home of her own in New York's Hudson Valley, set in a clearing under the cover of trees. The house is the one she spent her life imagining, and it is now standing. It is rich in color, and she made it to hold the things she remembers and the things she feels as much as to house her. No architect, price or address is on the record, so this desk reports the house and leaves the figures alone.
The house Diane Keaton took on as her last design project is now for sale in Laguna Beach, California, at an asking price of $10.3 million. The actor led the renovation herself. That matters here, because she treated interiors as a serious second pursuit and not a passing hobby. Laguna Beach sits on the Orange County coast, between Los Angeles and San Diego, and is one of the most watched stretches of coastline in the California market. For buyers who follow houses as closely as they follow sales figures, the draw goes beyond the address. This is a place where the owner's taste is part of the property, because she made the choices herself. The published asking price is what the market is being asked to pay for that. Whatever it finally sells for will tell us how much the market values a house shaped by a famous eye.
The new film of Colleen Hoover's "Verity" centers on a single house, a large residence set apart among the trees. Its design is meant to do two things at once: draw a viewer in with its allure and keep them uneasy at the same time. That double effect comes from deliberate design choices, which is why a house built for the screen deserves a careful look. The report names no architect, no address and no price, so for now the house can only be judged as audiences will see it, on screen.
Architectural Digest's editors have slept on a range of quilts and coverlets and narrowed the field to seven for 2026. The timing is seasonal: with fall here, the bedroom is the room most people turn to first. A quilt or coverlet is the layer that sits on top of the bed and sets the tone of the whole room, so the choice deserves the care any house deserves. From a Palm Beach guest room to an Aspen primary suite, this is the season to choose that layer with an editor's eye.
VideoOrlando Bloom turned up when Porsche Design unveiled its Concours project, and he used the moment to talk about what the marque means to him and what luxury means to him. He also described t
Vincent van Gogh was 27 when he chose to make art his profession in 1880, which is a late start for the painter. When he began, he already knew the realist painting of the Netherlands, and certain artists in that tradition were among his favorites. For collectors who think about a painter's work in terms of early and late periods, this is the start: a grown man taking up the brush seriously, with Dutch realism as what he knew best.
Andy Warhol's earliest published book, an object with an almost legendary standing among followers of Pop art, is coming back almost sixty years after it first appeared. It was never a book in the ordinary sense. It is as much an artwork as a volume, and a lighthearted one. For anyone who follows Warhol on paper as closely as on canvas, its return is worth noting.
With autumn now properly here, October hands the jewelry case to the opal, the stone assigned to this month as its birthstone. Its pull is color: a single opal can throw off flashes of several hues at once and shift them as the wearer moves. From New York to Aspen, where the light is turning and the season is changing, it is the stone collectors will be reaching for over the coming weeks.
New York City is doubling the grant it gives to artists who apply on their own, bringing each award to $10,000. Diya Vij, the commissioner who leads the city's Department of Cultural Affairs, talked through the change in a recent conversation, along with her wider plans for the agency and the money it sends both to nonprofit organizations and to artists working independently. The headline number is simple: a grant that used to be half as large now reaches five figures. For a painter, a sculptor or a designer working alone in this city, that's a real sum. It can pay for a stretch of studio rent, materials or the hours a piece needs. Collectors notice this kind of support because the work that later reaches galleries and auction rooms often begins in studios like these. Vij framed the increase as part of how she sees her department's role, which is to back cultural organizations and individual makers together.
October brings eight single-artist gallery exhibitions that Galerie has picked as essential viewing. At one end of the list is Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, whose drawings are dreamlike and full of symbols, and whose paper work is folded up into three-dimensional installations. At the other end is Keith Sonnier, shown through his first trials with neon and argon, the glowing gases behind his light-based sculpture. Between those two artists, the month covers both the quiet work of the hand on paper and the bright glow of the tube.
Dom Pérignon has brought in Damien Hirst to design its limited edition for 2026, a release collectors of artist-made objects will want to note. The champagne house's familiar shield now appears in rose and blue, worked into a kaleidoscopic pattern. The edition is timed for the end of the year, when the season's toasts begin. For anyone who follows what happens when an artist takes on a well-known emblem, this is the shield to look at.
Tai Ping and Edward Fields now have a new showroom in Manhattan, and the architecture firm Gensler designed it. The opening brought out two artists who have worked with the brands, Fernando Mastrangelo and Yolande Milan Batteau, along with designers and others from New York's design world who came to raise a glass to the room. Galerie was there too. For readers who follow how design reaches the people who buy it, a showroom is where that happens. Clients and the designers who advise them see the work in person there, before anything is ordered. Having the brands' collaborating artists in the room on opening night showed what the new space is for.
Sony is negotiating to acquire a feature film based on the "Battlefield" video game series, a project from Christopher McQuarrie and Michael B. Jordan. The talks follow competition among several studios for the rights to the film. Negotiations are ongoing, and no final agreement has been reported.
Sony is negotiating to acquire a feature film based on "Battlefield," the widely played game, from Christopher McQuarrie and Michael B. Jordan. More than one studio competed for the project before Sony started talks. The deal was not final when Variety reported it.
Sony Pictures is negotiating to take on a film based on "Battlefield," the military-themed video game owned by Electronic Arts. Christopher McQuarrie is set as the project's writer and director, and he would also serve as a producer. Michael B. Jordan is a producer on the film and may also appear in it. No casting has been confirmed. The studio has not yet closed a deal, and the talks are still underway. The project brings together a game publisher, a filmmaker who would handle the script, the direction and production himself, and a performer who has signed on behind the camera and could also act in it.
Tilda Swinton has written a memoir, her first, titled "Material Evidence," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The book does not move through her life year by year. Instead, the actress builds her account around things, with each object serving as a way into part of her story. For Beverly Hills readers who know her work on screen, the book offers a look at her life through the possessions she has chosen to write about.
Paramount and Warner Bros. are set to become a single studio next week, operating under the Skydance name, according to Variety. The transaction is scheduled to close on Tuesday. Variety reports that Skydance's 20-year record has centered on action films, including work with Tom Cruise and Mark Wahlberg. For readers who follow the film business here at home, that record now becomes the starting point for the combined company.
Metallica has started its residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, The Hollywood Reporter reported. The run is called Life Burns Faster, and the band's opening show has now been played. According to the trade publication, the band's set drew on music from across its 50-year career. The Hollywood Reporter's review of the opening show singled out several of the evening's standout moments. The Sphere is the venue for the full residency.
According to Variety, the ending moviegoers now see in "Verity" is not the one first planned for the film. The original version ended with a sharper turn, and the filmmakers changed it after test audiences watched the movie. Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson star in the film, a suspense drama with romantic and sexual themes that is now showing in cinemas. Variety's report gives away plot details, and this account does not.
"Verity," the new thriller starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, is in theaters with an ending that differs from the one first written for it, according to Variety. The original conclusion went further than the version audiences see today, the publication reported, and it was revised after the film was shown to test audiences. Screenings like these let filmmakers see how a story lands with viewers before it opens. Moviegoers in Beverly Hills are seeing the version that came out of that process.
Boxlab is staging a bout in Central Florida this weekend between Jordan Orozco Hernandez of Nicaragua and Yusniel Abrahante. For anyone outside Florida, the fight will also stream online. The promoter is presenting the matchup as a contest between two top-level boxers.
Skydance has been added to the Fortune 500, and it is now the most recent Los Angeles company to make the list, Variety reported. Chief executive David Ellison wrote to staff last week that he intends to keep the company in Hollywood, according to the publication. With the ranking, Los Angeles has one more Fortune 500 company based in the city. Ellison's note to staff tied the company's future to Hollywood itself, which is a short drive from Beverly Hills.
Skydance now ranks among the Fortune 500, which makes it the most recent Los Angeles company to make that list. Chief executive David Ellison wrote to the company's staff in recent days to say he intends to keep Skydance based in Hollywood. A Fortune 500 ranking puts a company among the largest businesses in the United States, and Los Angeles now has one more of them. For readers in Beverly Hills, the company in question is next door, in the part of the city most closely tied to the film business. Ellison sent the message to his own employees, the people whose work happens in Hollywood every day. His note tells them the company plans to stay where it is.
Paul Thomas Anderson's new documentary, "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall," has premiered at the New York Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film records a solo performance by Cameron Winter, lead singer of the band Geese, on the Carnegie Hall stage. It is Anderson's next project after "One Battle After Another." Anderson is an Academy Award winner. The Hollywood Reporter's review praises the film's spare approach and says it gives viewers the feeling of sitting in the hall during the performance. The film's subject, its setting and its premiere are all in New York.
Variety has published a list of 17 new films coming to streaming services in October. The list includes "The Invite," "Disclosure Day" and "Evil Dead Burn." It notes that two of this year's most prominent horror films, including "Evil Dead Burn," are being released for streaming in the weeks before Halloween. Beverly Hills residents can watch all of the titles at home.
Variety has listed 17 new movies coming to streaming services this month, including "The Invite," "Disclosure Day" and "Evil Dead Burn." The outlet says two of this year's most closely watched horror films are among the October releases, which arrive in time for Halloween. "Evil Dead Burn" is one of those two, and Variety describes it as especially gory. For Beverly Hills residents planning a few evenings at home before Halloween, the list shows in one place what is newly available to watch.
Miami City Ballet is restaging Jerome Robbins's "Opus Jazz," and Zac Posen of GapStudio is designing new costumes for it. The choreography dates to 1958. Posen's version puts the dancers in denim and sneakers, clothes most of the audience could have worn to the theater. The ballet is part of Gonzalo Garcia's first season at the company, the first one he has programmed from start to finish. That makes it one of the clearest early signs of what his Miami City Ballet will look like. For an archive like ours, it's a pleasing entry: a 1958 work, a named designer and wardrobe items as everyday as jeans and sneakers. Robbins wrote the dances, and Posen chose what the company will wear while dancing them.
The spray gun once known for souvenir tees at seaside stands has become one of the defining crafts of the spring 2027 collections. Designers have put airbrushing at the center of the season, giving a beach-town art form a seat in serious fashion. For readers who know a Florida summer, from the Miami shoreline to the Gulf Coast sand at Naples, the reference is easy to place. What used to be a vacation keepsake is now the technique fashion is watching.
Vogue has put together a holiday gift list with a strict rule: nothing on it costs more than one hundred dollars. The picks cover three areas: things to wear, upscale beauty, and pieces for the house. The low price limit is what makes it worth a look, since the list treats a reasonable budget as a test of good taste rather than a compromise. Whether the gifts end up in Palm Beach, Nashville or Aspen, the list is built for people who want a present to feel considered without the price being the point.
Léa Seydoux sat down with Vogue to talk about "The Unknown," the new film from director Arthur Harari, and about how she approaches the work of a performance. She also explained why she keeps choosing stories built on who a person really is, on puzzles that stay unsolved, and on the things nobody can fully know. The headline also promised her thoughts on beauty and fame, two subjects this archive watches closely, if only from the front row. For readers from Beverly Hills to New York, the takeaway is simple: here is an actress who prefers the question to the answer, and who said so plainly.
Once the runway work is over, the shoe that matters is a sneaker. Through fashion month, the models walking those shows have been wearing sneakers as their everyday shoe, and that's a lead worth following. It works just as well at a Saturday lunch in Palm Beach or on a gallery walk in Aspen as it does between appointments in Manhattan. When the people who wear the most considered shoes for a living choose sneakers for themselves, the rest of us can follow their example.
At Nike, the performance categories are where the momentum is: running shoes, basketball, training gear and soccer are all drawing more interest at the company, and a few other categories are moving with them. For an archive that tracks what people wear and when, this is the useful part: the shoes built for actual sport are the ones doing the work. That covers the track, the court, the gym floor and the pitch, and those are also the pairs most likely to show up on a morning walk in Palm Beach or a sidewalk in New York.
Nike's sport categories are carrying the momentum right now. Its running, basketball and training lines are picking up speed, and soccer is moving with them, along with other categories. For a desk that usually tracks the gown and the crown, it's a reminder that some of the most-worn clothes in America are the ones made to move in. From a Palm Beach morning run to a pickup game in Los Angeles, the sneaker is getting its moment.
Claire Le Bleis, who leads L'Oréal Professionnel worldwide, has made fashion one of the salon-hair label's main goals, alongside several other plans to change how the company works. For an archive that tracks the gown, the designer and the year, the move is good news: the haircut and the blowout count as part of the look, not something added at the end. The details are still to come. From Palm Beach salons to Beverly Hills chairs, readers who know that a great dress needs great hair will want to see where she takes it.
The Spring 2027 shows treated the face as somewhere to play, and Harper's Bazaar has counted 35 bright, inventive beauty looks from the season. The standouts include mouths in soft lavender, color brushed onto the ears, and a dreamlike, surreal mood across much of the makeup. These looks ask for nerve and a steady hand, and they reward both. From a Palm Beach luncheon to a Beverly Hills dinner, the woman who tries one first won't just be keeping up with the season; she'll be setting it.
The knee-length skirt has returned, and the Spring 2027 collections have made it the defining shape of the moment. It lands right at the knee, neither too short nor too long, which lets the shoes take as much attention as the fabric. Readers planning a season of luncheons in Palm Beach or gallery evenings in New York can take it as a cue: the hem to bring home sits just at the knee.
The Champagne will bring Gaudreau and U.S.S. Valor back onto the same track, and the pairing heads the "Super Saturday" card. Both are graduates of the maiden race that opened Whitney Day at Saratoga on Aug. 8, and that race now looks like one of the most productive of the summer. One of the colts in this rematch has not run since that first start, which he won by a half-length. Few maiden races in a season send runners on to a stakes like this one. When an Aug. 8 opener at the Spa produces a matchup good enough to lead the program, the people who bred, bought and trained these colts deserve some credit. They will meet in the Champagne with the summer behind them.
Extravaganzoo has won the Gimma. In its previous start, on Aug. 26 at Saratoga, it ran third in the Bolton Landing Stakes, which was open to all comers. Coming back from that race, it ran the Gimma cleanly from start to finish. That result makes Extravaganzoo the second stakes winner sired by Golden Pal. The Bolton Landing was the stronger test, against an unrestricted field. The Gimma is where Extravaganzoo turned that experience into a win. For anyone following a young stallion's first crops, the count of stakes winners matters most, and Golden Pal's now stands at two.
Skippylongstocking, who won the Grade I Pegasus World Cup Invitational, is going to stud in New York. Owner Daniel Alonso has sent the horse to Amsterdam Two Farm in Middleburgh, where he will begin covering mares in 2027. That puts a Grade I winner on a New York farm, and the state's breeders can book him without shipping their mares far. He is by Exaggerator out of the mare Twinkling, and his broodmare sire is War Chant. A breeder looking at that page will see a Grade I win on the racetrack and a pedigree to plan matings around. The 2027 date also gives Middleburgh some time before the first mares arrive at their new stallion. A horse who won one of the country's top dirt races is now beginning his second career on a New York farm.
Nakatomi won the Phoenix again on Friday, which makes him the defending champion two years running. The gelding is seven, an age when plenty of sprinters have long since left the track, and he did it the hard way. He sat at the very back of the field early and then passed every horse in the race, timing his run so that he hit the front when it counted. He is by Firing Line, out of the Flatter mare Applelicious, and on Friday he raced like a horse well suited to the job. Saratoga fans already know him from the summer of 2024, when he won the Grade I Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap there. Coming from last takes patience from the horse and nerve from the rider, and when it works it is one of the best things to watch in American racing. A seven-year-old who can still do it, and do it in a race he won the year before, has earned a second look.
Serenas Ghost, a daughter of Girvin, took the 'WAYI' Jessamine in an upset, collaring Seneca Park after that filly had set the pace from the front. The deciding work came in the final furlongs. Serenas Ghost did not take a straight line home; she shifted and weaved through the stretch before getting past the leader. Track announcer Kurt Becker's call made clear the run home was anything but routine. Seneca Park had gone to the post as the second choice and had control of the race until the late run reached her. For Girvin, it is a stakes win by one of his daughters, and it came from a filly who had to do it the hard way.
Kingside, a two-year-old colt by Upstart, won on the first afternoon of racing at Keeneland. He is out of the mare Mitigate, a daughter of Exaggerator. That gives the young horse a pedigree that reads well on both sides of the page. His race did not start cleanly. Moments after the gates opened he was pinched back between horses, which is a hard thing for a juvenile still learning his trade. He recovered his footing, settled into fourth, and stayed close behind the three horses ahead of him. From that spot the afternoon became his. In a race this young, keeping his composure after early trouble counted for as much as his speed, and Kingside handled both on the day Lexington's racing season began.
Anyone who has paged through a sale catalog in New York or Palm Beach has been reading ancient Greek without noticing it. According to The Collector, words like "theory," "analysis," "hypothesis" and "category" are more than borrowed vocabulary: they carry a way of reasoning that first took shape in ancient Greece. For collectors, whose work runs on sorting objects into categories and testing a hypothesis about where a piece came from, that habit of mind is part of the daily routine. The same discipline that makes a good catalog note makes a good collection.
A survey of Erin Johnson's films is now open at the Athenaeum, the University of Georgia's exhibition space. The films are built around animal narratives, and one of them follows feral dogs that became an unlikely line of resistance to nuclear arms. A survey asks viewers to take a body of work as a whole, so visitors can follow the artist's attention to animals from one film to the next. For readers who track where serious moving-image work is shown in this country, the show is worth noting on the Southern university calendar.
Phillips New York has put together its fall watch auction, and two names lead the catalog: Kari Voutilainen and F.P.Journe. By value, it is the largest online watch sale the New York house has ever staged. The bidding happens on a screen, so a collector in Palm Beach, Naples or Miami doesn't need to be in Manhattan to take part. For a reader here, that may be the most useful detail. Watch people know these two names on a dial mean careful, patient watchmaking, and the sale is built around that craft. New York is hosting it, but a phone in hand gives anyone the same seat.
Orlando Bloom turned up when Porsche Design unveiled its Concours project, and he used the moment to talk about what the marque means to him and what luxury means to him. He also described the calm, focused headspace he finds when he's driving. Anyone who has taken the Tamiami Trail south toward Naples with the radio off, or driven A1A past Palm Beach before the town wakes up, knows the feeling: the road gives your mind something steady to work on, and the noise falls away. Bloom treats that quiet as part of what a fine car is for, along with how it looks parked at a concours.
Eittem has partnered with New York's Frick Collection on a new set of accessories, and some of the inspiration came from one room inside the museum's mansion, the Walnut Room. Anyone who has stayed in a gallery longer than the plan allowed will understand why a designer would start with a single room rather than the whole house. Palm Beach will get the idea right away, since this is a town that talks about a well-proportioned room the way other places talk about a good tailor. Naples will like that the brief stayed focused on one room, and Miami will mostly want to know where the pieces should go. The appeal is simple: something that began as a museum interior on Fifth Avenue becomes something you can take home.
On Sept. 30, Josh Ross toasted a song that reached the top of the chart, his second to get there, at a party in Nashville. The guest list was a careful mix: the family who knew him first, the friends who stayed close, and colleagues from the business side of the music industry. A first No. 1 introduces an artist. A second one confirms the first was earned, and Nashville takes that seriously enough to throw a party for it. In this town it's a good sign when the people who share your private life and the people who build your career are happy to celebrate in the same room.
The Red Clay Strays will keep the "Grateful Tour" going into 2027, with a new run of dates now on the calendar. The fresh stretch opens on January 22. In a town that gets a little quiet once the holidays wind down, it's welcome news that the touring season is already set for the new year. When a band adds more dates to a tour named for gratitude, it shows the crowds have been grateful too.
Limbo Museum, an art and architecture institution based in Accra, Ghana, came to New York for the first time this season with an evening benefit at Moss. The museum timed the evening to The Armory Show, the week when the city's collectors, dealers and design people are already out looking. For readers who follow architecture as closely as the market, an institution devoted to both choosing New York for its first appearance is worth noting. No figures from the benefit have been made public, and we won't guess at them.
Damien Hirst has carried his Kaleidoscope series off the wall and onto the Champagne bottle. It appears on Dom Pérignon's 2026 special releases, and the artist spoke about the collaboration in an interview with Surface. This is the painter of the dot canvases and the shark suspended in preservative, now working at the scale of something you hold in one hand. For a collector, that changes where his work lives in a house. It moves from the gallery wall to the bar cart, the sideboard and the dining table where the cork is pulled. No price for the bottles is on the record, so we won't put a figure on them.
Architectural Digest has reviewed Solo Stove's Infinity Flame and found a lot to like in this propane fire pit. The reviewers singled out two things: a refined, finished look and a flame the owner can turn up or down. For a house where the terrace is used like another room, that combination is worth a closer look. No price was on the record in the review, so we aren't printing one.
Town & Country's editors have put together their favorite things for autumn days outdoors, for anyone spending the weeks before the season in orchards or under turning leaves. The list covers a fall walk through a park, an afternoon of apple picking and the plain need to stay dry when the weather turns. For anyone heading north before coming back to the island, it's a useful edit to check before packing. Even here, a well-chosen layer against the rain earns its place.
Town & Country has named fifteen newly opened New York restaurants worth booking this autumn. It's a long list for a short window, the weeks between the end of summer and the start of season. For anyone still in the city, it's a ready guide to which dining rooms are new enough to be worth a reservation. The real question is which of the fifteen you'll book first.
Mario Carbone and Cait Bailey Carbone are now married, and the two of them celebrated it in New York at the Seagram Building. Their party was big, and the room fit it. Benson Boone sang for the guests. Hiring a singer of his stature for a wedding tells you how much effort the couple put into the evening. He is a chef whose name already means something to anyone who books a table well in advance, and she is a strategist people trust with their brands. Bringing that much talent into one room under one name is something they plainly know how to do. Many of our readers spend part of the year in Manhattan, and they will understand why the address matters. Few Manhattan buildings carry as much architectural weight, and choosing it for a wedding says the hosts know a setting has to earn its guests. We send our warmest congratulations to the newlyweds.
Shuffle Along, one of the great names in Broadway history, has come back in concert form, and seats were hard to get. Its return was marked with a party where well-known faces filled the guest list. A concert staging puts the score and the voices first, and that is why people wanted a seat. For readers who spend part of the year in Manhattan between seasons, it is the kind of evening that comes up over lunch on Worth Avenue.
For an owner flying their own airplane in instrument conditions, the advice comes down to time: keep your attention on what the airplane will be doing in the next stretch of the flight, not on what it just did. That matters most when the autopilot and flight director are doing the flying and the pilot is watching. The skill being described is anticipation, meaning you already know the next turn, level-off or mode change before the panel shows it. The well-run IFR cockpit, whether it is departing out of Naples or descending into Aspen, belongs to the pilot who is a few steps ahead of the airplane.
The fourth episode of Flying's "Aviation Start" series looks at pilots who are paid by the day instead of being kept on a payroll. Jay Kadir, who flies Gulfstreams, explains how that work is priced and how a month of it can reach $50,000. Owners usually see that number as an invoice for filling a seat. Kadir explains it from the cockpit side. He also covers how much of the work comes from relationships and referrals rather than applications. His main message is for pilots rather than principals: a flying career does not have to run through an airline. Owners who run their own flight departments, whether they are based in Palm Beach or Aspen, will know the arrangement he describes, because they are the ones signing for it.
The FAA took on 2,235 controller trainees in its 2026 fiscal year, the most it has ever brought on in a single year. The agency is using the hiring to close staffing gaps at facilities around the country. The number is big, but owners will care more about what it feeds: the people who will someday issue your IFR release, sequence you into a crowded approach and hand you to the next sector. It's the right direction for anyone who files to Teterboro, Palm Beach or Aspen.
Anton Corbijn, who directed "A Talent for Murder," has spoken highly of Helen Mirren's work in the film. Mirren plays Patricia Highsmith, the novelist who created the character Tom Ripley. The film is built around Highsmith herself and not around any of her characters.
The company created by the pending combination of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery will be called Skydance. David Ellison, its chairman and chief executive, chose the name and announced it. The new name is that one word, without either studio's name added to it. For Beverly Hills readers who follow the entertainment business, this is the name the combined company will carry once the merger closes.
Netflix will make a second season of its new "A Different World," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The streamer ordered the additional episodes soon after the series debuted on Sept. 24. The show continues the comedy that first aired in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Netflix has picked it up again for a return run.
Variety has published this year's edition of a list it runs every year, naming 10 people working on Broadway whose careers the magazine expects to follow in 2026. The group is broader than performers alone: it includes actors along with composers, librettists and playwrights. Whitney Leavitt and Mason Alexander Park are among those selected, as is the cast of the revival of "Spring Awakening." The honorees' current and upcoming work includes "Purple Rain," which the magazine cited among the productions on their slates.
Disney has agreed to license a group of its films and series to Netflix, according to Variety. The titles include all five films in the "Ice Age" series, "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" and "Felicity," among others. Disney and Netflix run rival streaming services and seek the same subscribers. Variety reported that Disney sees Netflix's audience of more than 325 million as a way to earn revenue from its own titles and bring them to more viewers. Under the agreement, viewers in Beverly Hills will be able to find these Disney titles on Netflix as well as through Disney's own service.
Music Box Films has bought the North American rights to “Steal This Story, Please!”, a documentary connected to Amy Goodman. The distributor plans to release the film on the leading digital storefronts on Oct. 20. That means viewers in Beverly Hills and across the rest of the continent can watch it at home rather than seek out a theater. For a documentary, a distribution deal of this kind is how the film reaches a wide audience. The release falls less than three weeks from today, so it is close enough to plan around.
Starting Oct. 20, viewers in Beverly Hills and across North America can watch "Steal This Story, Please!", a documentary tied to Amy Goodman, at home, according to Variety. Music Box Films has bought the film's distribution rights for the continent. The company plans to make the documentary available that day on the leading digital services. For local audiences, that means the film can be streamed at home rather than seen only in a theater.
Jesse Jo Stark and Deadly Doll have reached a deal with BMG, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The agreement comes shortly after the singer revealed that her next record, titled "Muse," will be released in November. Readers who follow the music business from Beverly Hills can expect the album within weeks, now with a major music company supporting it.
Eminem and NERDS Clothing will debut a joint release at New York Comic Con next week, Variety reports. NERDS Clothing is a label that blends street apparel with pop culture. The collaboration will offer clothing and merchandise in a limited run, available while the convention is underway. It will also introduce a video game made new for the project. Both the game and the collection will make their first appearance together on the floor of the New York event.
"Verity," the film version of Colleen Hoover's novel, took in $4.5 million from preview showings ahead of its opening weekend. Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson star in the thriller, which Amazon MGM is releasing. The preview total is the first box office figure for the film, and it arrives before the full weekend count. "Digger," another new release, reported $1.2 million from its own previews over the same period. Preview figures show how many moviegoers chose to buy tickets before the regular run began. For Los Angeles and Beverly Hills readers, the Hathaway and Johnson film is now playing in theaters for the weekend.
"Verity," the Amazon MGM thriller starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, earned $4.5 million from preview screenings ahead of its first full weekend in theaters, according to Variety. The film is based on a novel by Colleen Hoover, and it is the latest of the author's books to be made into a movie. The preview figure is the first box office number for the film. Variety also reported that "Digger" took in $1.2 million from its own previews. The two films are opening in theaters over the same weekend. In Los Angeles, many of the people who make films like these will be watching the opening-weekend totals as they come in. Weekend box office results are expected in the coming days.
Nissan's sales have now gone up for nineteen months in a row. Its luxury brand, Infiniti, has just had its best sales since the pandemic began. Owners of either badge have good reason to notice: when buyers keep choosing a maker month after month, it shows confidence in the cars in their driveways and in the brand standing behind them.
Orlando Bloom was there when the Porsche Design Concours project was unveiled. The actor spoke about how much clearer his head feels when he is in the driver's seat. He also talked about his ties to the marque and about what he considers true luxury. Many readers who keep a Porsche in the garage know that feeling, when the drive itself is the reward.
Michael Jordan's Ferrari 550 Maranello has sold for $2.7 million, a record figure. Jordan drove the car rather than storing it, putting upwards of six thousand miles on the odometer while it was his. Many of those miles came on the trips between home and his games in Chicago. That is the part collectors will notice. The car was used for the commute of one of the most celebrated athletes the country has produced, and the buyer valued that history at a record price.
Before a car goes back across the dealer's desk, it pays to have a method. Car and Driver has set out a five-step process for owners who want the strongest offer at trade-in. Whether the car is leaving a garage in Naples or a driveway in Aspen, the moment you trade it in is the moment its value is settled, and a plan gives you the best chance at a good number. Read the steps in full before the appraisal begins.
Before an owner hands over the keys to the outgoing car at the dealership, it helps to understand how a trade actually works. Car and Driver has laid out how the exchange works so that an owner can set a sensible figure for the car they are parting with. The same understanding also answers a more basic question: whether trading in is the right move for that owner at all. For readers from Naples to Aspen thinking about their next car, this is homework to do before sitting down at the sales desk.
Kia and Hyundai each sold more cars from July through September 2026 than in any earlier third quarter. Both companies reached the milestone in the same three months. Their owners can take quiet satisfaction from seeing so many other buyers make the same choice.
Jean Paul Gaultier and Duran Lantink, two designers who have made a craft of misbehaving, sat down together for a conversation. They talked about the pleasures of rattling fashion's establishment, the narrow rule of good taste, and the real value of breaking the rules now and then. For readers whose closets run from Palm Beach linen to Aspen shearling, it's a useful reminder that some of the most memorable looks were never meant to be safe.
Easy Spirit has promised at least $25,000 to research into breast cancer, working with the charity Shoes for a Cure. The gift is the center of Move For Pink, a campaign the brand runs every year, and the $25,000 is a floor rather than a ceiling. The partner is a shoe charity, which suits a brand known for footwear. Pink suits the cause too, in a closet from New York to Naples. This archive usually tracks who wore what and when, and here the point is what a pair of shoes can pay for.
This week's new arrivals put a tailor and a sound company on the same tag: Thom Browne and Bose have released a collaboration. Sézane and Ilia also have new pieces out, along with several other names. For a reader in New York or Palm Beach, that's one collaboration and two familiar labels with something new in the same seven days. The archive notes the date.
Walmart's sneaker label, Avia, is teaming up with Bimma Williams to give emerging talent a turn in the spotlight. The first drop from the partnership is due in the opening weeks of 2027. For an archive that tracks who wore what and when, that date goes on the calendar now. Sneakers are where many of the newest names in American style get noticed first, and we'll be watching for this one.
Brigette McHale and Danielle Pheloung, the founders behind Phe Phe, sat down with WWD for an exclusive conversation about the label's debut temporary shop, the moment a young brand first meets its customers face to face rather than through a screen. The two also talked through how their collections are landing and where they intend to take the business next. The headline for anyone who keeps a well-stocked vanity is that Phe Phe is stepping into beauty, carrying a fashion name over to the dressing table. For an archive that tracks who wore what and when, it is a date worth noting: the day a label decided its signature should go on more than clothes.
At the New York City Ballet's Fall Fashion Gala, the look Sarah Jessica Parker wore most clearly for the occasion was her hair. She wore it in a single long herringbone plait, and natural strands of gray ran through it from top to end. A plait like that works almost like a ribbon. The woven pattern catches the light along its whole length, and the silver threads made the effect stronger, picking out every crossover in the weave. For a gala in honor of a ballet company, the choice suited the room: it was neat, pulled back and quietly romantic, the kind of style you might picture on a dancer waiting in the wings. It is also a lesson for any New Yorker planning a fall evening out: a carefully done braid can carry as much of the look as anything else you wear, and gray worked into it adds to the effect.
Stevie Nicks arrived at New York City Ballet's fall fashion gala with a crown of flowers in her hair. The look belonged to a fairy tale, which suited a night that puts dancers and designers in the same room. In a crowd dressed for the occasion, a circle of blooms is the detail everyone remembers on the way out. New York got a little enchantment for its gala season, and our archive gets a floral entry.
McKenna Grace has split her beauty budget cleanly: a high-end oil for the lips and a pharmacy-aisle mascara for the lashes. Talking with Fashionista about what she reaches for as the weather turns, the actor, who also sings and produces, said comfort comes first when she gets dressed. Plenty of handbags from Beverly Hills to Palm Beach hold the same pairing of one indulgence and one dependable bargain, side by side in the same zip pocket.
Elle's editors have looked through Coach's fall collection and picked their favorite handbags. They chose bags that last the whole day: one that's right for a desk at nine and still right at a dinner table after dark. In Palm Beach or Manhattan, a reader's real question this time of year isn't which bag looks best on a shelf. It's which one can stay on her arm from the first meeting to the last toast without making her change.
Before a new acquisition reaches the closet, it usually comes wrapped in a clear plastic sleeve, and that sleeve usually goes straight into the trash. The startup Weavabel says it has built a way to collect those bags once they've been used and process them back into usable material, so the wrapping goes around again instead of ending there. It's the part of a delivery nobody photographs, and the kind of behind-the-scenes care that a closet worth keeping a record of tends to deserve.
Save the date: Oct. 15, in Manhattan. That is when the Tasteful Summit puts fashion executives and food executives on the same agenda for one full day. The speakers are founders and top leaders from a number of brands, the people who set the course at their companies rather than report on it. At most industry gatherings these two worlds keep separate tables. Here they share a room on purpose, and the pairing is what makes the date worth noting. For an archive that records who wore what and where, a Manhattan date with this many decision-makers in one room deserves a mark on the calendar. We'll be watching the room on Oct. 15.
Some couples come to a premiere to pose. Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso came dressed to run the meeting. On Thursday evening they brought sharp, authoritative tailoring to the opening of "Animals." It's the kind of dressing that projects confidence before anyone has said a word. They had good company, too: Netflix's Ted Sarandos and Bela Bajaria came out for the night, and so did Ben Affleck. For the archive, it's a premiere night and a couple who knew exactly how they wanted to show up.
Kerry Washington wore white Carolina Herrera to the premiere of "Animals" and let two small accessories carry the wit. In one hand she held a crystal zebra clutch by Judith Leiber. On her finger was a Checkmate ring in black enamel and diamonds. Against all that white, both pieces stand out right away: the wild markings of the clutch and the sharp, graphic lines of the ring. It's a lesson in proportion, because the Herrera stays calm and the two smallest things in the picture set the mood. The pairing also suits the film: a zebra fits a premiere called "Animals," and the ring takes its name from the last move in a game of chess.
Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing a braid long enough to earn a fairy-tale nickname. Harper's Bazaar points to both the color and the styling as reasons it works, and singles it out as a model for women in their fifties and beyond. It's a quiet rebuttal to the old rule that hair should get shorter as the birthdays add up, and readers from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills who've been told to "go sensible" may want to bring it to their next salon appointment.
America's Best Racing has looked past the racing colors to profile Hernandez Farm, where the horses share the spotlight with baseball and a family that clearly enjoys both. The profile opens with a Louisiana childhood, and it shows a racing operation that is also a home. This page covers the people behind the horses as well as the horses, and an outfit where the barn and the ball field both matter is a fair picture of how American racing runs at its best.
Enable's place in the record book was earned at Churchill Downs, during the 35th edition of the Breeders' Cup World Championships. America's Best Racing has returned to that performance and counts it among the event's most memorable finishes. On the turf calendar, few stages carry more weight than the Breeders' Cup, and the history Enable wrote there was written on American ground, under the Twin Spires.

Transportation Secretary Duffy wants new aircraft to get through government approval faster. The secretary gave two reasons: approval takes too long, and other countries are competing for the same business. For owners, the time to certify a type is the gap between a manufacturer announcing an airplane and an airplane they can take delivery of and fly. For now the secretary has only asked for faster approval. No rule has changed, and nothing changes the paperwork on any airframe flying today.
Ford will come back to the World Rally Championship in 2028, and this time it will run the effort itself as a manufacturer-backed works entry. The company already races in Formula 1, NASCAR, the World Endurance Championship, and the Dakar. Rally will be its fifth series, so the same badge will appear on open-wheel grids, stock car ovals, endurance prototypes, desert raid machines, and gravel stages. For American owners and collectors who follow the Blue Oval, the news means one of the country's own marques is adding another major international championship to its program.
Two of the 2027 model year's most closely watched grand tourers, the Aston Martin DB12 S and the Bentley Continental GT S, now have a larger set of images available. That gives owners and collectors a better look at both cars in S form, one from Gaydon and one from Crewe. For readers from Palm Beach to Aspen who follow these marques by model year and specification, the photos are the clearest view yet of how each house has finished its S car for 2027.
Thistle and Rye has given its bar and dining room over to a menu called Rosé and Rye, and every item on it is pink. It marks the month set aside for breast cancer awareness, and the color itself carries the message. In a city that usually talks about restaurants in terms of who's at the next table, this one is worth a look for what's on the table. Order something rose-colored and you're taking part.
The Conrad Nashville will open its doors on a Sunday morning for Power in Pink, a wellness gathering held for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is an early start, set for the hours before the weekend gets loud, and spent on looking after yourself. October in this city tends to fill up with galas and late dinners, so a morning given to wellness and a good cause is a welcome change of pace. Anyone in Nashville who keeps an eye on what happens before brunch should put this one on the calendar.
Blue Aster is serving a three-course prix fixe for Thanksgiving, on the holiday itself, Thursday. A set menu suits the day: nobody has to think about it, and the guests can spend the afternoon on each other. The kitchen does the cooking and the dishes stay at the restaurant. For a Nashville family that would rather sit down to the meal than spend all day making it, that's a gracious way to give thanks.
Thistle and Rye is bringing the season into its regular songwriter night with a Holiday Writers' Round. The series already comes around once a month, and this time it takes on a holiday theme. In a town where the person who wrote the song often gets less attention than the person singing it, a writers' round puts the writer at the front of the room, and a holiday edition is a warm way to do that.
Blue Aster is serving a four-course dinner on Christmas Eve, which falls on a Thursday this year. In a season of crowded parties and rushed handshakes, a dinner paced across four courses is a chance for a family or a few close friends to slow down for an evening. For Nashville readers who would rather spend that night at a set table than at their own stove, this is one to plan around now. The courses will come out one after another, and nobody at the table has to cook or clean up.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson has made a concert film of a performance by Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall in New York, according to a review published by Variety. The film is titled "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall." Winter performs alone, and the film is structured around the songs. The review describes piano notes carrying through the hall and a full sound weighted toward the lower register. Winter sings in a deep baritone, according to the review. Variety's critic gave the film a favorable review.
Variety has reviewed "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall," a film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson that records Winter performing alone at the New York concert hall. According to the review, the film is built around Winter's songs. The critic writes that the piano carries through the room with a full, deep sound and that Winter sings in a low baritone. Variety's review of the film is favorable.
Alex Da Corte has made an opera told through animation, and its first audience will be in Buffalo, New York. The work is described as being on a grand scale, and it will debut in that city before it goes anywhere else. When a new piece by a named American artist opens in a particular city, that city becomes part of the work's story, and here that city is Buffalo. Collectors and institutions who follow Da Corte will want to note where it starts.
The medal-winning Olympian has named the habit she relies on most, and it isn't a serum, a supplement or a schedule. It's confidence. Speaking as an ambassador for Burn Boot Camp, Maher walked through how she builds strength, starting in the mind and only then moving to the body. At a title that keeps track of who wore what, we take the point: even the best-cut look starts with how the person wearing it carries herself. From a Manhattan sidewalk to a Beverly Hills carpet, confidence is the one piece nobody can borrow.
It has been a quarter century since anyone mounted a full survey of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's career, and Artists Space has now ended that wait with "Multiple Offerings." Cha's work never settled into a single category, and the exhibition treats that as its subject. Rather than force her into one discipline, it lays out the threads that run through her practice: words and speech, displacement from home, what memory holds on to, and the history of Korea. The show doesn't stop at hanging the pieces. It reads them closely and helps the visitor do the same. At a title that files every look by designer, year and occasion, we know the pleasure of a careful annotation, and this one is on the walls. Note the name of the exhibition and the institution, because this is the occasion.
Jennifer Lopez has picked the color for the season: chocolate mousse, a deep, creamy brown that is as soft as its name. It looks warm on an Aspen afternoon and works just as well on a cool evening in Manhattan. She also spoke up for an unusual kind of headwear, the sort most people admire for years before they try it themselves. The palette is settled, and the finishing touch just got more interesting.
New York City Ballet opened its 2026 season with its Fall Fashion Gala, and the red carpet arrived ahead of the dancers. Sarah Jessica Parker and Stevie Nicks led the guest list, along with a crowd of other well-dressed names who treated the evening as a performance of their own. The gala's whole premise is a meeting of two disciplines, ballet and fashion, both built on line, movement and fit, so the arrivals deserve a close look. For an archive that tracks who wore what, and when, this is one of the New York dates worth circling: a night where the clothes are part of the program, not a sideshow. The first word on the looks came from the carpet itself, and we'll be adding each name, label and silhouette to the record as the details are confirmed.
Netflix's new miniseries, which carries Zoe Kazan's name, adapts John Steinbeck's classic novel. A new explainer traces several of its storylines to their roots in Scripture. There's no gown to catalog and no carpet to report, just a reminder that some of the best-made stories borrow from the oldest source there is. It's worth knowing before you press play.
Landing a spot at Sephora or Ulta is the beauty world's version of a first red carpet: everyone sees the arrival, and it can lift a young label further than almost anything else. The work that keeps a brand on that shelf happens where shoppers never look. Getting a product onto the shelf and keeping it there come down to how well the business runs. Readers who have ever stood in a Sephora aisle trying to choose between two lipsticks have seen only half of that picture.
Belmont Park will send two of its own to the Breeders' Cup. Kathynmarissa and T Kraft each won a stakes race on the New York track, and each win came with a place at the championships. For anyone who follows the New York circuit, that means two more names to watch for when the season's best horses meet. Both earned their spots by winning at Belmont.
Mercedes-Benz will not carry four nameplates into its 2027 model year. They are the EQE sedan, sold under both the Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG badges, the Mercedes-AMG S63 sedan and the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV. Anyone who already has one of these in the garage now owns one of the closing examples of its line. The four come from three of the marque's houses, Mercedes-Benz, AMG and Maybach, so the change touches nearly every part of the brand. Owners and collectors keep track of moments like this one.
The Country Radio Hall of Fame has started taking nominations for the group it will honor in 2027. Nashville gives most of its attention to the songs and the people who sing them. This honor goes to the people who get those songs on the air. If a name comes to mind, now is the time to put it forward.
Rachel and Nick chose to have their summer wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and to let the green of the property decide the look of the day. For anyone planning a summer date, that is a choice worth considering: start from what the venue already has in season, then build the design around it. Rebecca Grace Events planned the wedding and kept the styling spare. The interest came from texture, not from piling on more decoration. Heart & Soil Flowers did the florals. Most of the color was already there, so the arrangements could work with the natural setting instead of trying to outdo it. It is a useful model if you want a day that feels composed rather than busy, with the setting doing much of the visual work.
Architectural Digest has put together a photo portfolio of Julie Andrews in the homes she has kept over a long career, and one of them is in Los Angeles. The pictures run from a chalet in the Swiss mountains to her house in Southern California. Here, the Los Angeles house matters most: it shows an Academy Award winner who chose to make one of her homes in this city. The piece shows how she has lived across the years, room by room and place by place.
Eddie Murphy will lead "The Chairman," a series for the streaming service Peacock. It is the first scripted series Murphy will headline. Matthew Weiner, who created "Mad Men," is developing the project. The announcement names the star, the series creator and the streaming home, a set of details that readers in a television town such as Beverly Hills will recognize from early-stage series news.
Peacock has formally approved a television series based on "Fast & Furious." The streaming service plans to debut the show in 2028. Vin Diesel, who has starred in the franchise, will work on the series as an executive producer. The announcement means the title is now in development for television.
Donna Langley, chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment, spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about bringing two of the film and television industry's most sought-after creators, Taylor Sheridan and Christopher Nolan, to her company. Langley said that when the industry is unsettled and changing, it makes sense to study the field and look for openings where a studio can get ahead of its rivals. She described this as a time to take that kind of look. Her comments place both signings inside a deliberate strategy, not chance. For readers who follow the business behind the films and series made in Los Angeles, the interview shows how one of the city's top studio executives approaches recruiting talent.
Ben Affleck has explained the rules he follows when using artificial intelligence on his new film, "Animals," according to The Hollywood Reporter. He said he would not use any AI system that was trained on copyrighted material. He also said he would not use one built from the work of his peers or of artists he admires. In his account, using AI on the film does not mean creating artificial performers or taking the place of people who work on it. For readers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles, where much of the film industry lives and works, this is one filmmaker's public account of where he draws the line on a new tool.
Kelly Clarkson says she is enthusiastic about artificial intelligence, but she believes songs made by AI performers should not be ranked alongside work by human musicians. The singer said she considers the human part of music essential and worth protecting. She also said listeners may want both kinds of music, as long as each has its own place. For readers in Los Angeles, a city where much of the country's recorded music is written, performed and produced, her comments come down on the side of the people who make it.
In 1948, Idaho's Department of Fish and Game took beavers out of the state's growing settled areas and dropped them by parachute into the backcountry. In the years after the war, new building had pushed people and beavers into the same places, and the agency had to deal with animals living close to town. Its answer was to move them to wild country where they could live on their own, and to get them there from the air. It is a piece of American history worth keeping: a state agency that found a careful and inventive way to give a native animal room to live.
Galerie argues that a home makes its case in the entry, before a guest reaches any other room. The idea is that the few square feet inside the front door should already show something of the people who live there and what they love. For anyone who lives with art and design, from a Palm Beach foyer to a New York gallery hall, that makes the entry less a passage and more a first exhibit. Everything that follows in the house is read through what was seen at the threshold.
Chellis Baird has made a series of wall-hung sculptures using materials supplied by the furniture maker American Leather. The pieces bring together textile, timber, animal hide and metal, the same stock the company uses to build its furniture. For collectors who follow design, this is a familiar crossing: materials meant for the showroom become one-of-a-kind objects meant to be looked at. The pieces were made to hang on a wall rather than sit on the floor, so the hide and cloth are shaped for the eye instead of upholstered for a seat.
One of Southampton's best-known buildings has a new hand behind it. Galerie has published a look at the property, which is known locally for an exterior that borrows the look of a castle, after designer Alvise Orsini gave it new life. Orsini's approach is bold and layered, and his style favors more rather than less. The result sets a fortress-like outline against an interior built for abundance. On the South Fork, where shingle and clapboard set the tone, this building has long stood out from its neighbors. For readers who follow how significant American houses are cared for and passed on, this is the kind of project worth noticing: a designer with a strong point of view taking on a building the Hamptons already know by sight, and giving it new energy without trying to make it disappear.
Adam Pendleton has opened his Brooklyn studio to visitors. This New York room is where he does his work. The space brings together painting, architecture and abstraction, and it suits the artist who works in it. The visit comes as Pendleton prepares for a major exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. New York readers get to see the room close to home before his next big show opens abroad.
Thomas Lavin is a Los Angeles design dealer, and his home in Laurel Canyon was reworked around the pieces he collects. Lavin and his partner, Destin Bass, started with an ordinary ranch house. They brought in designer Gary Hutton, and the house was fitted out, room by room, to give the collection a proper setting. For our readers, that order of priorities is the story: the objects came first and the architecture was shaped to serve them. The house reached its new form through custom work, not by adding a few pieces to rooms built for something else. In a dealer's own home, the collection usually gets to be seen the way its owner sees it. That is often the most telling view a collector can get of a dealer's eye. This one sits in the hills above the city where Lavin does business.
Jennifer Gilbert, a philanthropist and collector, now has a Palm Beach house worth hanging her collection in. The estate was designed by Marion Sims Wyeth, and it has spent four years being restored and given a new addition. Wyeth's name still matters on this island, and a house of his is a landmark here, so the owner of one takes on its care as much as its rooms. The work here took four years, and nobody hurried it. Gilbert's collection mixes fine art with design, and it keeps growing, which means the house has to hold what she owns now and leave room for what comes next. That is the real test of an addition: the new wing has to suit the original house and also suit the works going into it. A collector who shows painting and design side by side is asking a reader to look at an object and a canvas with the same seriousness. When a house built by one of Palm Beach's defining architects becomes the setting for that collection, the island gains a carefully restored landmark and a home where serious work will live.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has started the fall season in a relaxed outfit, and the diamonds are what you notice. She wears them stacked, one piece over another, instead of relying on a single showpiece. The effect is understated and confident, and every stone has its place in the stack. It's a formula readers from Palm Beach to Aspen will know well: keep the clothes simple and let the jewelry do the work.
After a turn alongside Supreme, Nike's Air Max Ecstasy Plus is headed for the regular shelves in colorways of its own. Until recently, few people outside the most devoted sneaker archives knew the silhouette, so a general release is a real promotion for this shoe. It's a familiar route: a model gets noticed through a partnership with a cult label, then comes back to wear its own name. For anyone in New York who tracks a shoe's history the way others track a gown's, this is one worth filing now.
Nike has released a premium version of the Air Max 95 Big Bubble, and its colorway has people thinking of the Joker. The resemblance comes from small touches of violet and green, which hint at the comic-book villain without turning the shoe into a costume. It's a lesson in restraint: the color shows up as an accent, never the whole look. From a Palm Beach morning to a Manhattan sidewalk, it's a sneaker for the person who likes a costume reference only they and a few sharp observers will catch.
On Friday, about 1,200 people who work in Designer Brands Inc.'s offices around the world will skip their usual workday and give their time to charities and local groups. The company is doing this for the second straight year. We usually write about the shoes people wear to big events, but this week the shoes worth noticing are the ones 1,200 volunteers put on for a day of real work. It shows that a company can be well run and generous at the same time.
For Spring 2027, Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen set the wide hip frame of an old court gown on top of a pair of jeans. Panniers once held a skirt out to the sides. Here that structure sits over everyday denim, so the look gains width at the hip and still reads breezy rather than weighty. From the Hamptons to downtown New York, it is a smart idea for anyone who wants drama at the waist without giving up their favorite jeans.
For two weeks, Dior's Beverly Hills boutique will hand its rooms to the French artist Louis Cane, with a sale at Christie's waiting at the end of the run. The show covers his sculpted pieces, furniture made to be lived with, and the smaller decorative objects in between. That range matters here: you can walk around one piece, sit near another, and lean in close to a third. A fashion house showing art is nothing new, but a fortnight is short, and the work moves on to the auction room when it ends. For anyone in Beverly Hills who thinks a chair can be as considered as a gown, the boutique is worth a detour before the doors close on it.
For two weeks, the Dior boutique in Beverly Hills is lending its floor to French artist Louis Cane. The show puts his sculptural pieces in one room with his furniture and decorative objects, so visitors see him working across several forms at once instead of one piece shown on its own. The timing matters: the exhibition comes just before Christie's sale, so collectors get to walk around these objects in person before they see them in an auction catalog. It's also a nice pairing, since a house known for dressmaking is making room for chairs and sculpture, and those are things you judge best up close. For Beverly Hills, the chance won't last long, and the gavel comes after it.
Florida shoppers can mark the map. Tom Ford Fashion is adding Bal Harbour to its American addresses, part of a trio of new stores that also brings the label to San Diego and Costa Mesa, Calif. Lelio Gavazza, the brand's chief executive, has spoken about the thinking behind where the house chooses to set up shop. The choices say something on their own: two Southern California cities and one stretch of the Florida coast, all chosen by a house that could have gone anywhere. For readers who follow a Tom Ford look from the red carpet to the rack, these are three more places to see the clothes up close, on hangers instead of on a step-and-repeat. Each new store is also somewhere a reader can walk in and try on the tailoring. Bal Harbour, in particular, is close to home for our Miami and Palm Beach readers.
On Thursday, John Galliano's debut line for Zara arrived on the high street, both online and in physical stores, and buyers moved fast. Vogue went out to talk to the people waiting and buying, so the first reviews came from shoppers rather than critics. For an archive like ours, that's the date worth writing down: the first time this designer's name has appeared on Zara's racks. Whether you shopped from a laptop in Los Angeles or a store in New York, the first day's question was simply whether your size was still there.
Cyrus Veyssi now has a fragrance of their own, and a few days ago they were also named to play May in a Broadway production, which puts them on a New York stage as well as on a bottle. Over the years, as their online audience grew, Veyssi made more and more room for the things they genuinely liked using, and a signature scent is where that shelf of favorites seems to have led. The Broadway casting, announced only last week, takes the same personality off the phone screen and under real stage lights in the theater district. We cover what people wear, and a scent counts too: it's the one thing you put on that nobody sees, and it's the most personal choice on any vanity. Both items land in the same season, and both are well worth a look.
Princess has released its first images of the Odyssey 108, a three-deck yacht with generous volume that moves its Odyssey line well beyond where it stood. The opening hull is due in the water in 2029, which gives owners on the Florida coast and across the country a firm date to plan around. Neither the naval architect nor a price has been made public yet. For anyone weighing a tri-deck from an established yard, the Odyssey 108 is now a name to watch.
The National Business Aviation Association and Citation Jet Pilots have formally asked the FAA to wait three months before withdrawing the exemptions that let these Citations be flown by one pilot. They have also asked the agency to set up a working group that includes them. For owners who fly their own airplanes, that is the request that counts: a rule worked out with the people who fly under it, not one simply handed down. The request is now with the FAA.
Boeing has won the F/A-XX contract, so it now runs development on two next-generation fighter programs at once. The first was the Air Force's F-47, which Boeing was chosen to develop in 2025. With this new award, both of these fighter efforts sit with a single American manufacturer. Owners know how much depends on the company that builds the airframe, and this is a large vote of confidence in one company's engineering.
The FAA has approved the automatic landing capability on Epic's E1000 AX. For owners, the useful part is where the controls are. There is more than one switch that starts the system, and they're spread around the cabin instead of being grouped in one place. If you fly your own E1000 AX with people seated behind you, add those switch locations to the passenger briefing.
Princess has released the first images of the Odyssey 108, a three-deck yacht the builder presents as a significant advance for its Odyssey line. Space is the design's main appeal. The first hull is set to go into the water in 2029, which gives owners considering a new build a clear date to plan around. The report does not name a naval architect or give a price.
The FAA is looking for technology that can detect unwanted radio-frequency energy in U.S. airspace and pinpoint where it comes from. For owners, the interest is practical. The navigation and communication equipment in a well-kept panel only works as well as the signals it receives. A tool that helps the agency find the source of a problem is the kind of quiet infrastructure work that keeps a Part 91 flight from Palm Beach to Aspen uneventful.
DoorDash has shown a new unmanned aircraft built to carry customer orders, and it intends to fly it in the northern part of California. It can do that because of a Part 135 certificate the FAA issued to the company in July. Owners who fly their airplanes under Part 91, or place them with a management company that flies charter trips under its own 135 certificate, will know the paperwork even if the cargo is new to them. A Part 135 certificate is the FAA's approval to fly for compensation or hire. A delivery company now holds the same kind of certificate as the charter operators that fly midsize jets. The report gave no start date or service area more specific than the region.
DoorDash has shown a new unmanned aircraft built to carry orders. It holds a Part 135 air carrier certificate from the FAA, issued in July, which puts its operation under the same certificate type that governs on-demand charter, though the payload here is far smaller. The first service is planned for the northern half of California. For owners flying in that region, a newly certificated operator in the low-altitude airspace is worth a note in the logbook.
Stratolaunch has added a Boeing 777 to its hypersonic testing operation, where the widebody will carry test vehicles aloft. The company is adding the jet to fly more often, and projects it will raise the number of flights it can fly by 35 percent. Anyone who has managed an airframe against a calendar will recognize the reasoning. A test program can only fly as often as its aircraft are available, and adding one is the most direct way to fly more. The 777 is a familiar type and a long-haul workhorse, and here it is doing very unfamiliar work.
Stratolaunch has brought a Boeing 777 into the group of aircraft it uses for hypersonic testing. The company says the 777 will serve as a carrier platform and expects it to raise how much it can fly by 35 percent. Owners know the 777 from the ramp at the big airports, but here it is a working airframe, chosen for a test schedule rather than a cabin. The point of the addition is simple: more flights.
Chris Stapleton, Marcus King and Ronnie Dunn are among the artists who will perform this December at a special evening honoring Ronnie Bowman. More performers are on the bill than those three, so the full lineup is still to be announced. It is the kind of bill that puts a December date on the calendar early, with artists of this standing coming together to honor one man. We will add the details as the lineup is filled in.
A wedding bouquet has about 48 hours before its flowers start to go, so whether it will be kept is decided within that time. The choice is between preserving the blooms at home and handing them to a professional. It belongs in the months of planning, not the morning after the reception or the airport before the honeymoon. For a Beverly Hills bride, the flowers she carries down the aisle will only outlast the day if someone has arranged where they go before the vows are spoken.
For three nights this October, Virgin Hotels Nashville is putting a magician within arm's reach of your dinner plate. The series is called Magic & Mixers, and the idea is close-up magic as part of the evening rather than a show on a distant stage, set inside a dinner instead of after it. Close-up work is the hardest kind to fake. It happens a few feet from the audience, under the dining room lights, with nowhere for a mistake to hide. Nashville is used to talent you can stand close to, and this is the same pleasure in another form: watching someone who has done the work make a difficult thing look easy. Three nights is a short run, so anyone who wants a seat should plan their October around it.
Michael Connor, who shares the directorship of Rhizome, sat down with Ben Davis for a long conversation about art built for the web: how it started, and where it may be going. For collectors used to a canvas on the wall or a lot number in a catalog, it is a different kind of object, one that lives in a browser window. Hearing it discussed at this length, with its past laid out and its future treated as an open question, is a reminder that this is a field with its own lineage. It deserves the same careful attention we give to any other medium that changes hands.
In a new conversation with MusicRow, the trade paper this town reads for the business of the song, Sasha Alex Sloan talks about how she writes, and what comes through is a writer who has never wanted to be fenced into a single style. That's worth noticing in a city that respects a well-built song more than a big announcement. The interview is about the work itself: how a writer thinks, and what she reaches for when she sits down to write. For readers who know the real business here happens in writing rooms, not on red carpets, it's a welcome look at the craft.
New York has a new way into the Spanish national collection, and the route goes through Brooklyn. "Masterpieces," a virtual reality program built on paintings from the Prado, has an opening date of October 1 at Powerhouse Arts. The selection is tight: five canvases, each among the best-known works the museum owns. With only five, the program is less a survey of the collection than a close look at a few pictures. For a city that measures its art life in auction previews and gallery openings, this is a different kind of viewing, with famous works seen through a headset instead of across a gallery floor. It is the Prado's own collection, shown in a Brooklyn arts building.
Blake Pendergrass, who was recently named Songwriter of the Year by the Nashville Songwriters Association International, has now played the Grand Ole Opry for the first time. In this city, the people who write the songs are usually known first by their peers and only later by the audience, so a writer taking the Opry stage has a particular weight. Within a short span, Pendergrass has received the songwriting community's top honor and stood on country music's most storied stage, and Nashville noticed both. We offer our congratulations on a debut worth marking.
MusicRow's DISClaimer column, its regular round of reviews of new singles, couldn't settle on a single Disc of the Day this time and gave the honor to three records. When a stack of new music produces three records worth championing, the songs that rise to the top have earned their place, and the column made room for all three rather than picking one. For a town that listens closely, a day with three standouts is a good one.
Kayla and Andrew picked their ceremony site before they had a date. They got engaged on the Eastern Green in Rosemary Beach, Florida, and twelve months later they married on the same lawn. Two firms handled the planning, 30A to Wed and Destin to Wed. The colors were pale blue and white with warm neutrals, a short list that suits a coastal setting without leaning on nautical props. Couples weighing a site should note what the choice settled: the place came first, and the remaining decisions could be built around it. With a palette that narrow, the planners had few elements to coordinate, and each one still had to be right.
The bouquet a Beverly Hills bride carries down the aisle has about two days left once the reception ends. In that time it goes one of two ways: to a professional preserver, or into the couple's own hands to be kept at home. The flowers will not wait out a honeymoon departure, so the choice belongs to the weeks before the wedding, not the morning after. Next to everything else the day holds, it is a small question of timing, and it decides whether the flowers outlast the day.
Hyundai's Tucson Hybrid has a 2027 model year ahead of it, and for now the early picture is still taking shape. Anyone who parks a Tucson Hybrid in the driveway, or has one in mind for next year, will want the full specifications before treating any one claim as settled. We have not driven the 2027 car, and we will hold off on describing how it behaves until there is something real to report.
A Ferrari 550 Maranello once owned by Michael Jordan has changed hands for $2.7 million, a record. Going in, the most anyone had projected for the car was $1.3 million, so the final price came in at more than double the high end of that range. For collectors who follow the model, the result shows how much a celebrated owner's name can add to the value of a front-engined V12 Ferrari.
Cafe Babu is turning two, and it's marking the occasion with a celebration that runs the whole of Sunday, start to finish. In a city where new openings come and go in a single season, a second anniversary means the place has found its regulars and kept them. The party isn't limited to an evening slot, so guests can come by for the first coffee or stay until the end, whichever suits their day. Stopping in to wish the place well is a fine way to spend a Sunday in Nashville.
The forecast for Michael Jordan's Ferrari 550 Maranello topped out at $1.3 million. The final price was $2.7 million, a new record. That is more than twice the most anyone had predicted, and the gap is as worth noticing as the total. Florida has collectors from the Worth Avenue curb to the Fifth Avenue South valet stand, and Miami will want to know the price before anyone else does, so most readers here know how rarely a car clears its high estimate by that much. It happens when a car has the right name and the right buyers are paying attention. Here both were true, and the price says the people bidding thought this Ferrari was worth the extra money.
Ross Cassidy, an interior designer, has put their 1927 house in the Hollywood Hills on the market at $8 million. The house is in the Spanish Revival style, the same Mediterranean idea that Palm Beach adopted as its own a century ago and Naples still likes to revisit. It has been brought back to good condition, and the work kept most of what made it distinctive when it was built rather than replacing it. It means something when a designer has done that to their own house, because they know better than anyone how easy it is to start over. For readers on our coast, a Hollywood Hills listing of this age is a reminder that Los Angeles and South Florida share an old taste for the courtyard house in a warm climate. In Miami this would be called vintage, in Palm Beach it would just be called the house, and in Naples someone would ask whether the original part could be kept. Here, it was.
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is planning an exhibition drawn from the works RM has acquired himself. The BTS member is opening his personal holdings to the public at one of the country's major modern art museums. For anyone who follows what collectors buy and keep, the interest here is in seeing a single person's choices hung together in a museum. RM has spoken of the project in personal terms: he said that few things reveal someone as truthfully as the objects they have gathered patiently over many years. That makes the show something close to a self-portrait, built one acquisition at a time, and San Francisco will be the first to see it.
Taylor Sheridan, the creator of "Yellowstone," is joining NBCUniversal after ten years at Paramount, according to Variety. Donna Langley, who chairs NBCUniversal Entertainment, said a stronger offer on the movie side is what brought him over. She told Variety she recognized an opening and acted on it. Here, where the film business is a hometown industry, Sheridan's choice of where to make his work is local news.
Taylor Sheridan, who created "Yellowstone," has joined NBCUniversal after ten years at Paramount, and the person who recruited him says a film agreement made the difference. Donna Langley, chair of NBCUniversal Entertainment, told Variety the company won him by offering stronger terms for feature films than he had before. Langley said she recognized an opening and acted on it. Readers in Beverly Hills, who live alongside the entertainment business, will recognize what this kind of agreement means: a writer best known for television now has a studio partner offering him a larger role in film.
The rooms at 46 Carmine Street, where Jackson Pollock lived at 20 while still working toward becoming a painter, are now for sale. The building stands in Manhattan's West Village, and the listing ties a known New York address to a time before the name meant anything to anyone. For collectors, this is a different kind of Pollock to own: not a canvas from a sale room but the place where he lived while he was still learning. The report gives no asking price, and we won't guess at one. For New York buyers who follow the artist, the street number alone is the point: a Pollock home that is now on the market.
For an evening at New York City Ballet, Sarah Jessica Parker wore Simone Rocha in a translucent gown with a ribbon to match, threaded through her hair. Her hair runs almost to her knees when it's down, and she wore every inch of it pinned up, with the gray streaks showing in the swept-up shape. The ribbon picked up the dress, so the outfit read as one idea from the hem to the top of her head. The setting fit the look. A sheer layer and a ribbon tied through the hair are things you'd expect to see on dancers, and here they turned up in the audience at the ballet. Simone Rocha's sheer fabric shows what's underneath it, and Parker's hair did the same, leaving its silver on display. For an archive that tracks who wore what and where, this one gets filed under New York, at the ballet, with the ribbon tying the look together.
Los Angeles Design Week/End is back for a third year, and the city's own designers make up much of this year's lineup. It runs through Saturday, October 4, so collectors who want to see the work in person have a few days left. The program is built around Los Angeles studios and labels, which makes it a chance to see what is being made here, by the people making it. For anyone in Los Angeles who follows design and what ends up in collections, it is worth going before it closes.
Artnet News has published its September 2026 ranking of the artists with the strongest presence in museums across the United States, and it counts eighteen. For a collector, that kind of roundup works like a reading list: it shows which names curators across the country gave wall space to last month. Whether you go to museums in New York, Los Angeles, Miami or somewhere in between, it's a good way to see which artists the institutions are behind right now. The full list of eighteen is on Artnet's site.
Michael Connor, who co-leads the digital art organization Rhizome, sat down with critic Ben Davis to trace how art made for the web began and where it may go from here. Art like this lives on a screen rather than a wall, and it gets passed around by link, not carried through a door. For collectors who follow how new kinds of work find their audience and their keepers, that is reason enough to hear him out. The talk looks back and also ahead, with one of the field's leading custodians giving his view of what comes next.
Since October 1, New Yorkers have been able to see five Prado paintings without leaving the five boroughs. "Masterpieces," a virtual reality experience at Powerhouse Arts in Brooklyn, takes five of the museum's best-known canvases and recasts them in a new form. The visitor doesn't stand in front of a wall label. They put on a headset and walk into the picture. That is an unusual offer for a collecting audience. A great painting is normally something you encounter at a set distance, behind a rope, with a guard nearby. Here the five canvases become places to step inside rather than objects to step back from. The originals stay where they hang. What has come to Brooklyn is an interpretation of them. The setting fits. Powerhouse Arts is a working space for artists and fabrication, so a project that treats old pictures as something to be built and entered belongs there. For readers who follow how great works travel, whether by loan, sale or reproduction, this is another way for them to arrive: as an experience rather than a shipment.
King of Kentucky has been released for the season. Each bottle is drawn from one cask, and the whiskey goes into the glass at the strength it came out of the wood, with nothing done to soften it. At a pour like that, the first sip is best taken slowly, and a little water at the table is worth having nearby.
Kayla and Andrew chose their ceremony site the simplest way possible: they went back to the Eastern Green in Rosemary Beach, where they had gotten engaged, and exchanged vows there twelve months later. Choosing the place where you got engaged takes care of one of the hardest planning decisions, and it gives the ceremony a meaning no other site could. The celebration was put together by 30A to Wed and Destin to Wed, both teams on Florida's Gulf Coast. For color, the couple used pale blue and white, set against a base of warm neutrals. That keeps the palette quiet enough for a seaside setting without making it look washed out. For a bride weighing a Gulf Coast wedding, this one shows how it works when the venue, the coast and a short color list all point the same way.
One Times Square, the slim tower at the head of New York's most famous crossroads and the building the ball descends every New Year's Eve, now puts its interior to work. Its upper levels hold rooms of sweets, walls of video and chapels set aside for weddings. Advertising sheathes the outside almost completely, so most people know the building only by its face. Now there is a reason to step through the door and see the rooms behind it.
Meghan Markle has a new chocolate advent calendar, and its box is illustrated with scenes from her house in Montecito. The artwork shows the grounds the way someone who lives there might picture them: tall palms against the sky, chickens in the yard, and the place dressed for the season. It's the rare case of a California property showing up on gift packaging instead of in a real-estate listing. For readers who follow the American house, the box is a small, friendly look at a Montecito home, offered on the owner's own terms.
Jennifer Meyer's Pacific Palisades store has been rebuilt, and the jewelry designer is showing it in a new interview. She also talks about the interiors that have shaped her eye. Her storefront joins the other buildings that have come back along the Palisades' streets. For a title that follows the American house, that makes it worth a look.
Among the works singled out at this year's Armory Show in New York were two photographs printed at full architectural scale with Epson's UltraChrome K3 pigment inks. One is titled "be courteous to all; bow down to none" and dates to 2026. Its companion was recorded only by the opening words of its title, "abandoned by the rule," and we will not complete a name we were not given. No price was reported for either piece, so we will not put a figure on them.
Yabu Pushelberg, the design studio that works across several disciplines, has a new hanging light called Reframe, made with the lighting house Louis Poulsen. The piece looks back to Poul Henningsen, the Danish architect and designer whose early, inventive work still shapes how a ceiling fixture is judged. For an American house, a pendant does more than light a room. It hangs over the dining table or the kitchen island and sets the tone of the space under it. A new fixture that names Henningsen as its starting point belongs in that conversation.
Tyler Perry has put his Beverly Hills estate up for sale, with an asking price of $57 million. The property covers 22.5 acres. That is a rare amount of land in a city where most estates are measured in square feet, and it puts the listing among the larger holdings to come up for sale there. The $57 million is an asking price, not a sale price. What the estate actually sells for will be on the record only when the deal closes, and this desk will report that number when it is public. Until then, the facts are the filmmaker's name, the size of the land and the price he has set. Even before a buyer appears, that makes this one of the notable Beverly Hills listings of the season.
In a new Architectural Digest guide, Nate Berkus and designers from the magazine's AD Pro network explain how to furnish a nursery so it still works once the crib is gone. Their advice covers the finish of the wood and the choice of paper for the walls, among other decisions. The idea is a room that keeps its place in an American house well past the first few years. That makes it a room planned for the family's whole time in the home, not a temporary setup to be redone later.
In Bedford, New York, an eighteenth-century farmhouse sits among trees that have been allowed to grow undisturbed for a very long time. The artist Happy Menocal has done the interiors of her family's house herself. Painted scenes run up the walls from baseboard to ceiling, and the fabrics are her own designs. The light fixtures are the detail a visitor tends to look up at twice: the chandeliers are built from the thin foil pans usually bought for a single casserole and thrown away. In a house that predates the republic, an artist has turned a supermarket throwaway into something meant to hang overhead for years, and that pairing is the point. It is the kind of Westchester County house that matters for its hand, not its square footage. Every surface shows the work of one person, and that person also lives there.
Vanity Fair has introduced the Screening Room, a new series built around the pictures expected to compete for the 2026 awards. The guest list reads like a well-planned table. Julianne Moore, Matt Damon and Penélope Cruz lead the announcement, and Pedro Pascal, Andrew Scott and Ava DuVernay are among the actors and filmmakers joining them. Each evening shows the film first and then turns to the people who made it, so the audience hears from the cast and filmmakers in the same room. The magazine calls this the first annual edition, which means it plans to bring the series back. On the island, the year's films come up at dinner all winter, from the North End to Worth Avenue. This series puts the people behind those films in front of an audience before anyone has to decide which one they favor.
Apple markdowns are already showing up ahead of October's Prime Day, and the Apple Watch and the MacBook are both on the early list. Ordering now means you don't have to wait for the official start of the event, and the new laptop or watch can be set up well before the calendar fills. It's a sensible errand to finish before the island gets busy for the season.
The Duchess of Sussex appears in new campaign photographs for her label's holiday countdown calendar, and she's wearing a ballet flat in satin, cut in the see-through style now showing up across footwear. The shoe is quiet: a low, light slipper with the shine of satin and enough sheerness to show the foot underneath. The choice says more by holding back, which suits a campaign meant to open the holidays. Anyone planning season wardrobes along Worth Avenue will notice: a flat like this goes from a morning appointment to a long lunch without anyone thinking twice.
AmaWaterways is rethinking how a voyage by river should be spent. It is building the time on board around four interests: painting, music, history and good wine. This turns a slow passage by water into something closer to a course of study taken at an unhurried pace. For readers on the island who already plan their months away from the season around a gallery, a performance or a good bottle, the idea will feel familiar.
"Motorcycle Life," a new large-format book, portrays the people who ride motorcycles, and Jason Momoa and Keanu Reeves are two of the riders in its pages. Its author has described what led them to start the project, how they went about it and what they hoped it would capture about this community. For owners who keep a bike in the garage next to the cars, this is a book that cares as much about the riders as the motorcycles. It belongs on a living-room table, where a guest who rides will pick it up first.
Seth Cutler, chief executive of Ionna, has described the electric car's prospects in plain commercial terms. In an interview with The Drive, he said his company is in business to earn money, and that electric cars depend on charging becoming an enterprise that pays its own way. For anyone with a cord in the garage and a long drive ahead, that kind of frankness is reassuring: a charger built to make money is a charger built to stay open and working. It is the same logic the filling station has always followed, applied to the plug.
Aston Martin has added the DBX GT to its range of SUVs, and it is described as the most polished DBX the company has offered so far. It matches the DBX S, the sportier model in the lineup, on performance, so the extra comfort costs owners nothing in speed. That pairing is the one owners here care about, whether the drive is the long run out to the Hamptons or a winter climb toward Aspen. Collectors who follow the marque now have a choice inside the DBX family between the sharper DBX S and the more cosseting GT.
Hyundai has introduced the 2027 Tucson, a new generation of its familiar compact crossover, and its design is unusually bold for the segment. The Tucson is a commuter and a school-run car, the kind seen in driveways from Naples to Nashville, and Hyundai has given it styling that looks closer to science fiction than to the parking lot. It is a confident choice for a vehicle built for ordinary days, and the change will be easy to spot the first time one is parked among its neighbors.
Fernando Alonso has confirmed he will race in Formula 1 again next season, and he will do it at 46. He holds two world championships and has nothing left to prove, yet he says his appetite for the work is as strong as ever. For readers who love the machines and the people who master them, there is something worth admiring in a champion who keeps choosing the hardest seat in motorsport. Next year, one of the most experienced drivers in the sport will line up once more.
Selling a car yourself, instead of handing it over at the dealership as part of your next purchase, will usually bring in more money, Car and Driver says. The difference comes from the owner's own patience and work, and the magazine says it isn't hard to get. For readers from Palm Beach to Aspen who know their cars down to the model year and the service records, that is welcome news. The person who knows the car best is often the right one to find its next owner.
Toyota has added a Woodland Edition to the Grand Highlander, giving its largest three-row SUV a slightly tougher, trail-minded character. The name is already familiar to Toyota buyers: the bZ and the Sienna each got a Woodland version first, and the Grand Highlander now joins them. For families in Aspen and along the Front Range, the appeal is plain: the same roomy hauler they would take on the school run, set up a little more for the gravel road to the trailhead. Toyota has kept the change modest, so this is the Grand Highlander owners already know, now with more confidence once the pavement ends.
Honda has kept the turbocharged four-cylinder in the Civic Type R unchanged for the 2027 model year, still rated at 315 horsepower. The changes are in the rest of the car. Revised aerodynamics press the hatchback harder into the pavement, upgrades to the chassis go further than a cosmetic refresh, and the cooling has been improved. There is also a comfort addition this car has not had before: warming elements in the seats. For owners, the main point is that the engine's output stays the same, and the model-year change goes into grip, cooling and the cabin.
Hyundai has redesigned the Tucson for the 2027 model year, and its small crossover now looks entirely different. More images of the new design have now been released, so buyers can study the changes before the car reaches showrooms. In the Tucson's segment, people cross-shop on looks as much as on anything else, and a full redesign gives buyers good reason to take another look at a familiar nameplate. We have not driven the car and are reporting only on its new appearance.
Hyundai has redesigned the Tucson from the ground up for the 2027 model year, and the change shows from the curb: the new body has heavier shoulders and a more muscular shape. Under that sheetmetal, the gasoline-electric powertrain has also been revised. Some owners want one vehicle that suits a Colorado trailhead as well as a Naples school run, and a tougher-looking body paired with a refreshed hybrid speaks to them. We have not driven it.
The 2027 model year brings a reworked Hyundai Tucson, and the most obvious change is its shape: the small sport-utility now has squarer, more upright lines. A full photo gallery shows the new body from the front, the rear, and both flanks, which is the best way to judge a design before seeing one at a dealer. For owners already living with a Tucson, these images are the first good look at how far the new one moves from the car in their driveway. Interior details, specifications and pricing will have to wait for another report.
Hyundai has released the full specifications for the 2027 Tucson, and the redesigned compact sport-utility has a look that breaks sharply from the one it replaces. The styling is what most people will notice first, whether the Tucson is parked in a Palm Beach driveway or a Denver garage. The bigger news is underneath it: more room for the people inside, a longer list of standard and available equipment, and fuel economy from the hybrid version that gives buyers a practical reason to look closely. For readers choosing a sensible everyday car to sit beside something more special, this model year makes its argument with space, equipment and efficiency. What They Drive has not driven the new Tucson and gives no verdict on how it performs on the road.
Hyundai's 2027 Tucson can now be seen from the inside, with a new set of cabin images covering both the standard model and the Tucson Hybrid. In a compact crossover the cabin is where the owner spends the most time, whether that means a morning school run in Naples or a long weekend drive up to Aspen, so it is the first view of the car worth having. We have not driven the 2027 Tucson, and these photographs are all we have to go on. How the materials feel and how the controls work in the hand will have to wait until we can sit in one.
Owners who picked the Tucson for its gas-electric drivetrain will be glad to hear the hybrid is back for 2027. Hyundai's small sport-utility arrives in new form for the model year, and Car and Driver has published a gallery of the hybrid's exterior. For a reader choosing a daily car for the drive between Naples and Palm Beach or the climb up to Aspen, the main news is that the electrified version is still on the order sheet. We have not driven it, so the photographs will have to speak for the sheet metal until we have.
Hyundai's Tucson Hybrid will have a 2027 model year. So far there's only an early look at the car, not a full specification sheet. Readers who keep track of model years should record this one now and wait for confirmed details before drawing conclusions. We will report the details once they are confirmed.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event is set for October 6 and 7, and some sim-racing equipment has gone on sale before it starts. For the collector who spends weekdays far from the track, or the owner who keeps a cockpit rig in the corner of the garage beside the real car, that means some of the better gear can be bought now. Road & Track says the discounts cover gear its editors rate among their favorites, so this is not just leftover stock. Anyone who has been planning to add a wheel, pedals or a seat to a home setup now has a few days' head start on the sale.
A Ferrari 550 Maranello once owned by Michael Jordan has changed hands for $2.7 million, a record result. Going in, the top of its estimate stood at $1.3 million, so the final figure more than doubled the most optimistic number on the sheet. For collectors, a gap that wide shows how much a name in the ownership history can add to a car. Here, the name carried the room.
Aston Martin has added a GT to its DBX line, and it matches the DBX S for performance while aiming for more polish. In Miami you'd want the speed, in Palm Beach the composure, and in Naples you'd ask for both and expect someone to take the bags in. This variant seems built for anyone who has ever had to pick between them. The pace is unchanged and the manners are better, which suits a stretch of coast where getting there quickly matters less than how you look pulling up.
Linda Evangelista has closed the sale of her top-floor Manhattan home in West Chelsea, and the price was $6.75 million. She had owned it for over twenty years. In Manhattan, that kind of tenure is almost unheard of. Most residences change hands so often the doormen stop learning names. Down here we know the type of owner who stays put. Palm Beach families keep the same house for generations, and Naples counts patience as a virtue. Miami tends to treat a five-year stay as a long one. Twenty-plus years in one Chelsea home is the kind of loyalty Florida readers recognize and respect. A sale like this gives someone else the keys to a home that one of the most recognizable faces in fashion kept for a very long time.
Larry Ellison, the billionaire who cofounded Oracle, has bought eight homes in a single Boynton Beach neighborhood that sits behind a gate. They are for the people who work in his household. Together the eight cost just under $10 million, which averages to about a million and a quarter per house. That means eight driveways, eight sets of keys and eight kitchens. None of it is a showpiece. These are places for a working team to come home to at the end of the day. Boynton Beach sits in the southern part of Palm Beach County. People usually describe it by what's nearby, but this time a buyer of considerable means chose the town for its own sake. Most Florida real estate news is about one buyer going bigger on one property. What stands out here is the number eight.
The King of Kentucky release that whiskey people have been waiting on all season is now out. Each bottle comes from one barrel, and it goes in the bottle at the strength it came out of the wood, which here is very strong. Whether you pour it on a Palm Beach terrace or a Naples lanai, the move is the same: a small glass, a few drops of water and some patience. Miami can have its cocktail menus; a whiskey like this is better taken slowly, the way the Gulf Coast takes most things.
A Ferrari 550 Maranello that once belonged to Michael Jordan has found a new owner at $2.7 million, the highest price on record. The forecast had put its ceiling at $1.3 million. The final figure beat that by $1.4 million, which is more than the top estimate itself. Down here we read a number like that three ways. Miami sees a car and a name, which is reason enough. Palm Beach sees provenance and nods as if it expected nothing less. Naples asks about the paperwork and then quietly agrees that $2.7 million is a fair figure. Every part of the coast agrees that this result was earned. A Ferrari carrying Michael Jordan's name went to market, and it went for far more than anyone had predicted.
Bradley Cooper has been cast as Duke, the commander who leads the team on the ground, in a new "G.I. Joe" film at Paramount, according to Variety Film. Danny McBride is attached to the project. The studio has not released the story or any other cast members. For readers here who follow the film business, Cooper's casting is the first confirmed detail about the production.
The 10th SCAD AnimationFest in Atlanta closed with a panel on the craft of animation and where it is headed. Ten animators shared the stage with a director whose work has earned an Academy Award nomination. Their discussion covered artificial intelligence and what it means for the people who draw, design and move characters on screen. The panelists argued that the individual artist still has a central role in the work. In their view, what a single animator brings is a way of seeing that no one else can supply. The festival has now held ten editions, and this panel was the last item on the final day of the anniversary program.
The Newport Beach Film Festival has picked "Behemoth!" as the last film of its 27th annual program, according to Variety. The screening is scheduled for Oct. 22. Tony Gilroy wrote and directed the film and is expected to be there in person. Pedro Pascal plays the lead role of Alex Serian, a cellist of considerable talent. As the closing selection, "Behemoth!" is the final film festivalgoers will see before the program ends. The festival takes place down the coast from Beverly Hills, in Orange County, and this year's edition is its 27th.
Chase Infiniti has been cast in the lead role of "Portrait of God," a horror film from director Dylan Clark, according to Variety Film. Infiniti has been nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Emmy, and the actor's credits include "One Battle After Another" and "The Testaments." The project is set up at Lionsgate. Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele are producing. The project brings together a lead with recognition from both the film and television academies, a director working in horror, and two producers whose names appear above the title in the trade report. Variety Film's report did not include a production start date, a filming location or a release date.
Parke has released a pink mockneck sweatshirt in a limited run, and the money from its sales goes to Pink Aid, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The proceeds support people being treated for breast cancer and the families around them. The sweatshirt is the newest piece from the label's continuing work with the organization. The report did not give a price, the number of pieces made or a date when sales end. For a shopper in Beverly Hills, the purchase is both a sweatshirt and a contribution to Pink Aid.
Ynon Kreiz, 61, is co-chief executive of the combined Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery, where he works alongside David Ellison, according to Variety. His compensation in the new post is valued at more than $46.5 million. Variety reports that the figure is higher than what he received as chief executive of Mattel, the toy company he led before this role. Kreiz has signed an initial agreement with the merged company. The report did not give the remaining terms. Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery have long been part of the entertainment business that many Beverly Hills residents work in and follow. That gives a leadership appointment at the newly combined company local interest here.
Ynon Kreiz, 61, will serve as co-chief executive of the merged Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery, Variety reported. In that role, he will lead the company alongside David Ellison. Variety described Kreiz as Ellison's closest deputy at the combined company. His compensation in the new post is valued at more than $46.5 million. According to the report, that is more than he received as chief executive of Mattel. Variety reported that Kreiz has signed an initial agreement with the company. The appointment puts the former Mattel chief at the head of a company formed by the merger of two major entertainment businesses.
"Neagley," the new Prime Video series spun off from "Reacher," ranked first in the streaming charts in its opening week. It finished ahead of "Monster" and ahead of "Reacher" itself. The new series' first-week audience was about the same size as the one "Reacher" drew when it debuted in 2022. For an industry town that follows these weekly rankings closely, a spinoff opening on a par with the show it came from is a result worth noting.
Variety has named "La Bola Negra," "Fjord" and "Woman Unknown" as the leading early contenders for the Academy Award for International Feature Film. The ranking comes from the predictions that Variety's awards team publishes and updates throughout the season. The three films sit at the top of the outlet's list this early in the race. The Academy presents its awards in Los Angeles, and readers here can follow the category as the publication revises its standings ahead of the ceremony.
Variety's latest Oscar forecast puts "La Bola Negra," "Fjord" and "Woman Unknown" ahead in the international feature film category. The list is an early read on the race, and no nominations have been announced. In Beverly Hills, where the awards season is followed closely, these are the three titles readers can expect to hear about in the months ahead.
Peacock said Thursday that it has given a series order to a television version of "Fast & Furious," Variety reported. NBCUniversal first made the project public as a show in development at its upfronts earlier this year. Thursday's announcement moves it past that stage and into the streamer's lineup of ordered series. Peacock is aiming to premiere the show in 2028, according to Variety. The announcement, as summarized by Variety, did not name a cast, a creative team or a premiere date more specific than the year.
Variety reports that Eddie Murphy is set to lead "The Chairman," a drama Peacock is developing with Matthew Weiner, the creator of "Mad Men." Weiner created the new project. Peacock has not yet given the series a go-ahead. If it does, the part would be the first role of its kind for Murphy, according to the trade publication.
October has started, and Jennifer Lawrence marked it with a baseball cap made to be noticed. The archive takes headwear seriously, and a cap chosen for the calendar counts as a real fashion choice. It shows an actress happy to let one small accessory show how much she loves Halloween season. A casual piece worn with obvious fondness is a look worth logging on the first days of the month.
Florence Pugh's name sits at the top of the cast list for a fresh retelling of John Steinbeck's East of Eden, ahead of a full company of players. Our archive keeps track of who stood where, and in what, and top billing deserves its own line in that record. The news comes down to two things, a Steinbeck novel and Pugh at the head of the cast, and that's enough to make it worth noting.
Elle has picked out the early Prime Day discounts on hair care and styling tools, and the names on the list are the ones you'd find on a well-stocked vanity: Dyson and Shark for the heavy machinery, Gisou and Oribe for the bottles that come out once the dryer is off. Whether you're dealing with Palm Beach humidity or dry Aspen air, a good blowout starts at home long before anyone reaches a step-and-repeat. Shopping early means the good tools are already on the counter before the season's invitations show up.
Annabelle Wallis is a new mother, and she has two films coming up, "Unabomber" and "Mutiny." She talked about both in a new WWD interview, along with where her career stands right now. For an archive that tracks who wore what and when, this is a useful entry: the parent and the leading lady are now the same person on the same calendar. Her red carpet season will come with the premieres, and we'll be watching.
ChatGPT now lets shoppers see clothing on themselves before they buy, and it gives them a place to keep the outfits they like best. We spend our days cataloging who wore what and when, so a personal archive of saved ensembles feels familiar to us, even in this new setting. Whether you're on a Palm Beach terrace or in a Beverly Hills dressing room, you can now ask a chatbot first how something will look on you. The three-way mirror isn't going anywhere, but it has company.
Skechers now has a race-day shoe in its lineup. The Aero Elite is the newest model in the brand's Aero Series, and it is the label's first entry in the top tier of competition footwear, the class built only to go fast on race day. For a desk that keeps careful records of who wore what and when, a debut shoe from a familiar name is worth noting: its first attempt at a category it has never made before, in a line built for speed.
Starting October 3 and lasting until November 13, Venus moves into retrograde, appearing to travel backward across the sky as astrologers read it. Vogue's astrologer describes these six weeks as a time when desire and attraction come to the fore, and has written a reading for each of the twelve signs. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, it is a stretch of the calendar our readers will be dressing through either way. Few autumn engagements arrive with their end date already printed on the invitation.
Jessica Lange sat down with Vogue to talk about two of the parts most closely tied to her name: Mary Tyrone in Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night," and her work on "American Horror Story." She's going back to both, and it's notable that one of these is a stage classic and the other a television anthology. The interview doesn't say what she wore or where the conversation happened, so we won't guess. For an archive that tracks who wore what and when, the part worth noting is simpler: a performer choosing to put old roles back on, the way a well-made coat gets worn again.
The two designers behind August Barron took their spring 2027 lineup into Hollywood glamour, and they did it with a raised eyebrow. Their take on femininity is the maximal kind, played with obvious affection and a little knowing humor. The references come from the pop culture these designers clearly love. For readers who think of a red carpet as part of the neighborhood, it's a season worth a good look.
Elle has put together eight approaches to wearing black boots as the weather turns, a styling guide built around the pair most closets already hold. The premise compliments the reader: the boots are already there, and the real work is deciding what goes with them. Here, that pair might step out onto a Manhattan sidewalk, a Nashville porch or an Aspen street once the air cools, and black leather suits all three without fuss. Take it as permission to wear the dependable pair with fresh intent.
Sarah Jessica Parker came to an evening at the New York City Ballet in Simone Rocha, a gown sheer enough to let the light through. The detail that tied the look together was in her hair: a ribbon matching the dress, worked into an updo streaked with gray. Let down, that hair falls nearly to her knees, which makes a gathered style a real piece of construction rather than a quick twist. Putting the same ribbon in the gown and the hair turns two separate choices into one. For an archive that tracks designer, year and occasion, this one is easy to file: Simone Rocha, Sarah Jessica Parker, a ballet night in New York.
The Far Hills Race Meeting is adding new features for its 2026 running. Organizers are making the changes while keeping the sense of occasion and long heritage that bring the crowd back to the course each year. For readers who follow American jump racing and the hunt-country calendar, any change at Far Hills is worth watching, and the full list of additions will show what the day looks like this season.
The average price of an American yearling has risen nine percent again, on top of an earlier gain. That figure covers every young horse sold in the American ring, not only the few that set records. For the farms that foal, raise and prepare these horses for sale, it is a good result. For buyers, it says that the market still values a well-raised young Thoroughbred.
U.S.S. Valor has won the Champagne Stakes, beating Gaudreau at the finish. The race was first run in 1867, which puts U.S.S. Valor in a long line of horses whose names are attached to the Champagne. A race that has gone on for more than a century and a half means a lot in American racing, and a close finish against a good rival is a fine way to join that list. Our readers follow the turf from Saratoga to Palm Beach, and they will want to note the name U.S.S. Valor.
Shelzawa (Fr) won the Winter Memories, and her rider came from the same country she did. The 3-year-old filly is by Zelzal (Fr) out of the Shendama (Fr) mare, and her broodmare sire is Dr Fong. Flavien, a Frenchman himself, kept her covered up and asked for her late, and she pulled away just enough when he did. Among those she beat was Sister Troienne, the Munnings filly returning to the races.
The Grade III Vosburgh Stakes at Belmont Park on Thursday was too close to call from the grandstand, so the result waited on the photo. When the stewards posted it, T Kraft, a son of Connect, had held on by a nose. Crazy Mason, by Coal Front, finished second after closing hard in the final strides. The two crossed the wire so nearly together that only the camera could separate them. The Vosburgh is a "Win and You're In" race, so the victory also gives T Kraft a starting spot at the Breeders' Cup. For anyone who follows the New York circuit, it was a fine autumn afternoon of racing: two well-bred horses giving everything to the line, and a winner who now has a place at the championships.
Minaret Station has won the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic for OXO Equine LLC, the outfit that bred him and still races him. The 4-year-old colt had been close to the top of the turf division all year without getting his picture taken. Now he has a win to go with all that attention, and it came in a race named for one of the sport's great chroniclers. His pedigree shows how he was made. He is by Instilled Regard, out of the Irish-bred mare Beau Recall, a daughter of the Irish-bred Sir Prancealot. That's an American sire crossed onto an Irish female family, and it has produced a colt who shows up on the grass every time and has finally been rewarded for it. The ownership is what makes this one special. A homebred win is a different thing from a win bought in the sales ring. The decision on which stallion to use was OXO Equine's, and so was everything in the years between that mating and this result.
Kathynmarissa has now won both of her starts since mid-July, and the second win sends her to the Breeders' Cup. The 5-year-old mare by American Pharoah, owned by Michael Dubb and Michael J. Caruso, took the Flower Bowl, a "Win and You're In" race that guarantees its winner a place in the championship. Her previous start was a victory in the Grade I Dunkin' Diana Stakes at Saratoga on July 18. The Flower Bowl was her next race, so she did not run between the two wins. Plenty of horses win a Grade I at the Spa, but far fewer follow it with a win that carries a ticket to the Breeders' Cup. That pairing is what puts her name on the list for the fall. American Pharoah's daughter now goes from a summer stakes winner to a horse whose next start has already been decided.
The room at The Eyrie at Glen Eagle was round and white, and a brass hoop hung at its center as the only light fixture. Into it the designers put four colors that don't usually share a table: deep olive, soft lavender, a hot chili red, and a peach warm enough to pass for gold. They chose not to blend them, and the clash was the point of the design. The pale walls kept the four colors separate, so each one stood out on its own and the whole room had the loose, layered look of a painting.
Stonepine Estate in Carmel Valley is the venue in a newly published wedding with a Tuscan point of view. The couple did not use the estate to imitate California. They used it as the setting for an Italian-country scheme, and the property took that styling without strain. The palette was bright pastels, which is a different choice from the usual muted, sun-faded tones of Tuscan-themed weddings. The florals also departed from the expected, and the arrangements were treated as a design decision rather than a default. For a bride who wants Italy as the mood but a California estate as the actual address, this wedding shows the two can be combined. Paulina Perrucci, a member of Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book vendor network, photographed the day, and her images are the record to study before booking a walkthrough.
A French jeweler is putting on an exhibition in New York from October 9 through October 18. The show treats the house's archive as the place its new ideas come from, not as a record to keep behind glass. For a house with a long history, that is a confident position to take: the drawings and pieces of earlier generations are presented as the beginning of new work. The window is short, ten days in mid-October, so anyone in the city who cares how fine jewelry gets made, and how a design moves from an old reference to a new piece, should mark the dates now.
IKEA has introduced a new range of fabrics for the bedroom. Its goal is to make that room feel like a well-run small hotel. Buyers often judge a house by its kitchen and its views, but the private rooms upstairs are where a home tends to feel either settled or merely occupied, and the fabrics in them have a lot to do with which. The idea behind the line is simple: the calm of a getaway can be arranged at home, one layer of cloth at a time.
The 2026 Ford Mustang RTR uses a four-cylinder engine rated at 315 horsepower, and the editors at The Drive took it drifting to see what it can do. Their conclusion is that the car is far more entertaining than its spec sheet suggests. They singled out its traditional pull-up hand brake as its best feature, a piece of hardware many owners assumed modern cars had left behind. For readers who don't need the largest engine to enjoy a Mustang, this is the 2026 version worth a closer look.
Ram's 5.7-liter Hemi Rumble Bee found buyers for every build slot through March 2027, and it took one day to do it. For owners who keep an eight-cylinder pickup in the garage, that is a clear signal that demand for a V8 truck built for performance is alive here at home. Anyone hoping to add one now will be waiting until spring 2027 at the earliest. Few new trucks have been claimed that quickly.
For 2026, Ford has put the RTR name on the Mustang that opens the lineup, building this special edition on the EcoBoost car. Car and Driver's staff drove it, and they report that the entry-level Mustang has a good deal more spirit in RTR form. What matters to owners is the price: this is a distinct, named Mustang that buyers can afford, not one built for a few. For anyone who follows the marque's special editions, it is one to note on the 2026 list.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days don't begin until October 6, but some discounts for people who keep cars are already available. The biggest is $100 off DeWalt batteries, the cordless power behind much of the work done in a home garage. Other markdowns cover tools, garage equipment and gear for long drives. For owners from Naples to Aspen who look after their own cars, it's an early chance to stock the workbench before the main event starts.
Ford will offer a two-color paint option on the 2027 F-150, and the option is priced at $12,545. That works out to about a fifth of what the truck itself costs, and close to half the price of a new Ford Maverick. With this option, an owner chooses the second color when ordering the truck, and Ford applies it before the truck leaves the factory. Ford is charging for it like a major option, not a small extra. For an owner who expects to keep the truck for many years, the finish it leaves the factory with is worth deciding carefully.
A columnist at The Drive has picked a cause that sits just a few inches from the shifter: the mechanical parking-brake lever. Most enthusiast campaigning goes to keeping the clutch pedal and the stick shift alive, but this writer argues that the pull-up handle deserves the same loyalty, and believes its future isn't settled yet. Any owner who knows the click of that ratchet under their palm, in a garage in Naples or a driveway in Aspen, will be glad to see a familiar control get an advocate of its own.
Honda has updated the Civic Type R for the 2027 model year. One change sits in the cabin: the Type R now gets heated seats, the same feature found in the Acura Integra Type S. The outside has been reshaped to look sharper and more assertive. Under that new skin, Honda has also improved how the car manages airflow and how it keeps itself cool. The aero and cooling work is mostly for drivers who push the car hard. The heated seats are the change an owner will feel every cold Colorado morning before the engine has warmed up.
Car and Driver has published a full photo gallery of Honda's 2027 Civic Type R in its revised form, showing the car from all sides. It is the walk-around an owner would give a car in a showroom, done in pictures. Readers who already keep a Type R in the garage, or are thinking about buying one, can now study the newest model at their own pace. These are photographs, not a drive, and we offer no verdict on how the car performs on the road.
No driver from the United States has won a Formula 1 Grand Prix in 48 years. That is nearly half a century of American enthusiasts following the sport's top tier while cheering for drivers from other countries. Road & Track now argues that the long wait is close to ending and that a homegrown winner is no longer a distant hope. For readers who care about American names on great machines, from the garage to the auction block, the next American win would be worth seeing.
Road & Track columnist Farah has written a guide for first-timers on covering 500 miles aboard a Vespa, a scooter with 25 horsepower. Farah's verdict is that a long ride on so modest a machine turns out to be an excellent way to see the country around you. That is a useful thing for a collector to hear, whether the garage holds something from Palm Beach or something from the Colorado foothills: the car or bike with the least power can still give you the best day out. We did not ride it ourselves, so the miles and the conclusions are Farah's, and the full guide is the place to go before setting out.
A single Los Angeles Lakers jersey from the 2003-04 season is going to auction, and its value comes with a record of exactly what happened while Kobe Bryant had it on. Wearing it, he scored 472 points and added 85 rebounds, 94 assists, 33 steals and 11 blocks. Those numbers fill out every column of a stat sheet, which is a fair way to describe the player who wore it. Bryant won five NBA championships, and this jersey is one piece of that record that a person can actually own. The estimate runs into the millions, so it will be priced like fine art. To a serious collector, that's what it is. Down here, Miami will talk about it the loudest, Palm Beach will ask about its condition, and Naples will quietly check the provenance and register to bid. All three know a jersey like this is valued for the work that was done in it.
Michael Jordan's jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals, the championship run fans know as "The Last Dance," has gone to a bidder for $12.26 million. No basketball jersey worn in an actual NBA game has ever brought more when offered for sale. That figure is for a single shirt, the kind a player pulls on before tip-off and takes off at the final buzzer. Its value comes entirely from the man who wore it and the series he wore it in. Down here, people argue about what serious collecting looks like. Palm Beach tends to say paintings, Naples says the car in the garage, and Miami says whatever got the most attention last weekend. A result like this one ends that argument politely: sports memorabilia, chosen carefully, belongs in the same conversation. Whatever room this jersey ends up in, it now holds the record for its category.
For more than four decades, David Murdock's home in New York was a maisonette on Fifth Avenue, and it is now for sale at $15 million. Floridians understand this kind of arrangement. Palm Beach keeps its winters, Naples keeps its sunsets, Miami keeps its own hours, and a good many of the people who move among them also keep a door somewhere north. Keeping the same one for forty years is less common. That is not a weekend address or a place to sleep between meetings. It is a lasting part of a life, chosen once and kept for good. A maisonette is also its own kind of New York residence, closer in feel to a house than to an apartment in the sky, and it sits on the avenue that most of the country pictures when it pictures Manhattan. For readers who spend part of the year on the Atlantic and part on the Gulf, the price will register. So will the patience behind those forty years in one place.
The Range Rover Sport now comes as a battery-electric model, and it puts down more twisting force than any version of the Sport before it. Underneath, it uses the same pair of electric motors as its bigger sibling, the Range Rover Electric. That means the smaller, sportier body gets the larger car's drive system. It's a combination drivers might appreciate anywhere in Florida, whether the trip is a short hop down Worth Avenue, a long run on Alligator Alley toward Naples, or Brickell traffic, where the torque matters more than any top speed you'd never reach anyway.
Of all the women in fiction, Cathy Ames may be the one most readers have long since judged, and Zoe Kazan's new Netflix miniseries of *East of Eden* asks them to look at her again. Kazan directs, and she has given the part to Florence Pugh, the two of them working toward a portrait more complicated than the one many readers remember. The series turns on old questions of virtue and wickedness, the kind that can carry a dinner table on the North End well past dessert. It is a good one to watch before the season fills every evening, and a good one to argue over once it does.
The Duchess of Sussex seems to be hinting that her As Ever label may soon offer something for the dog. It's only a hint for now, with no product named and nothing to buy yet. It does follow naturally from her series on Netflix, where she baked treats for dogs from scratch in her own kitchen. On an island where the dog comes to lunch and goes out on the morning walk along the Lake Trail, a toy from her label would find plenty of interested owners.
The Irina Foundation began as an invention of the story "Heated Rivalry," where it was founded by two of its characters, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. It is now being established as an actual foundation. A charity that readers first met in a work of fiction is turning into a real one. In a town that measures its season by its benefits, it is a pleasure to see generosity cross that line.
Jamie Gordon, a co-founder of Fugitive Films, and Maggie Malina, who formerly led scripted programming at MTV, have started a new production company called Rommi. The company will work in a single genre, romance. Its productions will be made in vertical format, the upright frame that fills a phone held in the hand. Gordon and Malina are the two founders named in the announcement.
Joseph Zada, a 21-year-old actor from Australia, has two major roles arriving this fall, according to The Hollywood Reporter. One of them is a part James Dean once played. Zada left high school before graduating and has worked steadily as an actor since then, the publication reports. Two significant performances in one season is a notable start for a performer still in his early twenties, and readers in Beverly Hills who follow the screen industry may want to watch for both.
Disney's Worlds Collide Tour performed at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles on Monday evening, The Hollywood Reporter reported. The concert brought together performers from three Disney franchises: "Descendants," "Zombies" and "Camp Rock." Malachi Barton and Dara Renée were among the Disney performers who appeared, according to the report. The publication described a show that moved quickly from one number to the next and kept the energy up from start to finish. For Los Angeles audiences, the night brought a touring Disney production to one of the city's main concert venues. The arena gave all three franchises one stage, one roster and one evening.
AGC Studios, the company headed by Stuart Ford, has formed AGC Digital, a new arm built to work with people who make content for online audiences. The studio's credits already number above 50 across film and television. According to the announcement, the new division will collaborate with these creators to develop their concepts into larger projects, with the original ideas starting from the creators themselves.
VideoTyla Rodrigues has put pen to paper with Sony Music Publishing's Nashville office, and the agreement is global in scope. So the deal is signed here in town, and the songs it covers can trave
AGC Studios, the production company led by Stuart Ford, has started a new division called AGC Digital. The unit is set up to work alongside people who build their audiences online and to help develop the ideas those creators bring to it. AGC Studios counts upward of 50 films and television series among its credits, and the new division adds digital creators to that slate. For readers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles, the launch is a case of a production company that already has a long list of finished film and television work making room for people who got their start online.
Variety has published a power list naming the people and institutions it considers most influential in New York, and the actor Matt Damon and the New York Knicks are among them. The magazine calls the list its New York Legends Power List. The list starts from the city's size: about 8.5 million residents in roughly 300 square miles, the largest population of any U.S. city. Variety connects that influence to the city's best-known institutions, including Broadway, Wall Street, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Damon comes from film and the Knicks from professional basketball, and the list places both in the same group as the theater, finance and music institutions it names.
Bennington College has started a Master of Fine Arts program in screenwriting. Its named teaching staff includes David Hemingson, who wrote "The Holdovers," and Janet Lin, a writer on "Bridgerton." For Los Angeles readers, the faculty list means writers from current film and television work will be teaching the program. Bret Easton Ellis and Donna Tartt both attended the college, which is best known for its novelists.
Fox Business Network has set a new schedule for its weekday programming, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The morning hour formerly anchored by Maria Bartiromo will now carry a program called "Big Money in the Morning." The network's midday show will be led by a new pair of anchors. Liz Claman will also add a program at the end of the week, airing on Friday evenings. For viewers here who follow the markets through the business day, that means a new show to start the morning, new faces at midday and a familiar anchor closing out the week.
VideoThe Truth, the new music venue from Live Nation, opens to the public this Thursday in October. It holds 4,400 people, which puts it between an intimate club and an arena. For a city that mea
Cody Conrod, the professional "Fortnite" player who competes as Clix, has formed Full Box Inc. to serve as the parent company for his nine business interests. According to Variety, the new company will also oversee his brand collaborations and his charitable work. Conrod, a creator, is running the company himself. Readers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles who follow gaming as a business will see a competitive player organizing his commercial and philanthropic work inside one company.
The SCAD Savannah Film Festival in Georgia will present its Discovery Award this year to Guitarricadelafuente, the musician who appears in the film "La Bola Negra." The festival is giving the award for his first major feature film role. The ceremony will take place in Savannah, as part of this year's festival.
The SCAD Savannah Film Festival in Georgia will give its Discovery Award to Guitarricadelafuente, the musician who stars in the film "La Bola Negra." The festival is presenting the award for the performer's first major role in a feature film. "La Bola Negra" is the picture the festival cited for the recognition. The award is part of the festival's program for the current edition.
The last work Calder made has been fully restored. The figure tied to it is $12 million. Not much more has been reported yet, including what that sum covers, so we'll leave it there rather than guess. For readers who follow sculpture through the salerooms and galleries of New York, the news is simple and welcome: a maker's closing work is in good order again, and someone thought that care was worth a serious number.
Marina Abramović is approaching her eightieth birthday with a full calendar: several new exhibitions, a performance that is on tour, and a new book titled "Long Life, Short Stories." She has no plans to slow down, and she says the work is what gives her days their purpose. Her career is known for performances that happen once and are gone, so the book offers something a reader can buy and keep on the shelf. The title also explains its form: a long life, told in short pieces.
Eittem has teamed up with the Frick Collection in New York on a new range of accessories. Among the pieces is the house's signature: a handbag made of wood, an unusual material for something meant to be carried every day. For collectors who follow where a museum's name goes once it leaves the galleries, it's a partnership worth noting.
On the evening of September 25, Abbie Callahan stepped onto the Opry stage for the first time. In this town, few first nights carry more weight. The Opry has been the room where Nashville introduces a writer and performer to the people who keep country music going, and Callahan has now been introduced. A debut happens only once, and hers took place here, at home.
The town's October is now on paper: a month-by-month guide lays out new songs, upcoming records, trade gatherings and live shows around Nashville. Here, a calendar like this is how people plan their weeks, whether they work on Music Row or just keep a close ear on it. It sorts the month four ways: individual tracks, full-length albums and shorter EPs, events for people who work in the business, and nights out in the city's rooms. Pin it next to the season's invitations and the month gets easier to plan.
Kaitlin Butts has a new album on the way, *Hello, Honky Tonk*, and she is taking the record out to audiences before the month is over. The run is called the Hello, Honky Tonk Live And In Person Tour, a name that signals the point plainly: these songs are meant to be heard in a room, with a crowd. Here in Nashville, a city that still judges a country record by how it plays under a low ceiling, putting the music on stage alongside the release is a vote of confidence in the work.
The Mechanical Licensing Collective, the organization that handles mechanical royalties for songwriters and music publishers, called its members together for their yearly meeting. It isn't a premiere or an awards night. It's the kind of standing date a well-run institution keeps with the people it works for. In a city where a career can rest on a single line in a royalty statement, a body like this checking in with its membership counts as good housekeeping, the business side of the craft quietly doing its job. Out front are the voices everyone knows. Behind them are the writers and publishers whose work starts it all, and this meeting was about them.
Some of Washington's most interesting art doesn't hang in a museum. It sits inside an office building on Capitol Hill. Alexander Calder's "Mountains and Clouds," the very large installation inside the Hart Senate Office Building, is getting a restored mobile. The work is described as advanced and up to date in its craft, and it brings back the element of the piece that is meant to move. A mobile only makes sense in motion. It is a sculpture you watch change with the air and the hour, so restoring one is really about giving it back its movement. For a city that keeps a careful eye on its landmarks, this is good news. It is a piece of modern art in the middle of official Washington, and its moving part is being given careful attention.
Holding a commercial certificate is not, by itself, enough to fly passengers for hire on charter. Much of the path to the charter cockpit is the same as the one to a commercial certificate, but a pilot heading into charter work has more to weigh along the way. That matters to an owner whose aircraft earns revenue on a management company's certificate when the owner isn't aboard. The crew in the front seats on those legs got there by a somewhat longer road, and an owner can reasonably ask about it.
A 2004 Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign is now listed for sale. The listing presents the jet as a super-midsize. Its flight deck runs Honeywell's Primus Epic suite, and both engines are covered by ESP Silver Lite. For an owner comparing used airframes, the engine coverage is usually the first line to check, ahead of the paint and the interior, because it decides how much of the powerplant cost has already been accounted for. Primus Epic is the other point a buyer will look at closely, since it is the avionics platform the next owner and their pilots will be flying with. The listing doesn't give any other details, and we haven't added any.
Delaware's Wings & Wheels festival this fall will show classic aircraft and host a career fair for people looking for work in aviation. For owners, the career fair is the useful part. Every flight department, management company and independent owner-operator draws on the same small pool of pilots and technicians, and that pool is filled at events like this one. The vintage airplanes are the draw, and having the career fair beside them is a sensible way to put a working trade in front of people who came to look at the old metal. There will also be a lighter item: rubber chickens dropped from the air, a deliberately silly stand-in for the live-bird stunts that have given other fall gatherings a bad name. No actual poultry is involved. It is a small detail, and a good sign of how the organizers are running things. The event is meant for families and newcomers, and it wants to look approachable to the next generation.
A boot doesn't need a red carpet to earn a place in the archive. The company behind Kizik has started a new brand, Blue Ox, aimed at people who work in the trades, and it launches with a pair of boot designs. The idea is the one Kizik made its name on: shoes you can step into without bending down to fuss with them. This time they're built for long days on a job site. For a desk that records who wore what and when, a new label with just two boots to its name is a good debut to note.
Zendaya has a second collection with On, the athletic label from Switzerland, and she's discussing how she shaped it as its co-designer. The piece getting the attention is a Mary Jane, the strapped schoolgirl classic, rebuilt with enough nerve to survive a stunt sequence. Picture it on a Manhattan crosswalk or a Beverly Hills sidewalk: a shoe that keeps the polish of the original and still looks ready to sprint. For an archive that tracks who wore what and when, it's a welcome sign that sneaker culture can still take a sweet silhouette seriously.
In On's newest campaign, Zendaya is both the star and one of the people behind the clothes: the line she wears was developed jointly by her and the brand. The campaign comes as a short film that borrows its pacing from action movies, which suits technical clothing designed to look good while moving. For an archive that keeps track of who designed what, the credit line is the story here. She isn't only modeling the pieces, she shares the design credit.
Emma Chamberlain's coffee label is working with Pinterest again, and this time the theme is getting away. The two have put out a new coffee blend inspired by travel, along with a new run of branded goods. Coffee merch is a brand's version of a wardrobe, so the goods are the part this desk will be watching. Whether the next trip is a drive up to Aspen or a flight down to Palm Beach, the theme suits the season.
New York's great museum has found its way into the vanity drawer. For the holidays, Bobbi Brown has paired some of the brand's best-loved products with works from The Met's holdings, in a range that runs from the lids to the lips to the complexion. Two kinds of craft share the same counter this season: the formula and the masterpiece. Anyone who has walked those galleries on Fifth Avenue will see the appeal right away.
Tate McRae has put her name on a scent for the first time, and she's called it Tate 01. Shoppers can buy it today. A number like that on a debut reads like the start of a series, though for now there is just the one bottle and the name on it. Here we keep track of who wore what and when, so we're noting the date: in the archive, this is where her fragrance story starts.
Florence Pugh closed out her publicity run for "East of Eden" in Manhattan, and the last word went to Vivienne Westwood. She wore the British house on Wednesday evening at the series' New York premiere, and the look was all color. The Academy Award nominee has been promoting the multi-part adaptation for weeks, and she ended it on an American red carpet. For an archive like ours, the details are easy to file: Westwood was the designer, New York was the city, and the occasion was the premiere of a prestige series. A last appearance tends to be the one people remember, and Pugh made hers a bright one.
Hailey Bieber has brought back one of the most closely studied dresses in American bridal-week history: the open-back Cerruti that Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy chose for her wedding rehearsal dinner. Ask anyone who keeps an archive of these looks and they'll tell you the bare back is the whole point. A plain front opens into a low, clean line behind, and there's barely anything else going on, which is exactly why people still bring it up. Our readers keep their own mental lookbook of the Bessette-Kennedy years, so it's a pleasure to see the dress worn again rather than just pinned to a mood board, and there are worse audition tapes for whoever is casting the next Love Story.
Koukla is a lip butter that takes its cue from Greece, and its name tells you so. In Greek, the word is an affectionate way to call someone a little doll, or a lovely young woman. It's said fondly, not as a description, which suits something meant to be worn on the lips. Plenty of beauty names try to sound pretty; this one is a compliment.
The software company Aptean has released new research on how businesses are putting artificial intelligence to work and how they feel about what it gives them back. By its findings, fashion apparel is out in front, taking up the technology earlier than other sectors. For an archive that tracks who dressed whom, and in what year, it's worth noting when the industry behind the gowns moves before everyone else. The research looks at the business behind the clothes rather than any one look, and on that question apparel came out ahead.
Daisy Edgar-Jones has brought the drawing room to the sheer gown: a look that borrows from the early 1800s and then leaves out nearly all the cover. The idea is Austen-era fashion made modern and glamorous, so the period cues stay and the modesty doesn't. It's dressing in character the way it should be done: a nod to the era, worn with modern confidence instead of as a costume. Readers who keep score of the classics will appreciate a heroine who studied the period and then edited it down.
Roberto Cavalli has made Los Angeles the setting for its Fall 2026 campaign, and Hayes Warner, from "The Shards," is the face of it. Indiana Piorek took the photographs and also directed the creative side, so one person shaped the whole shoot. For our archive, that pins down the three details we always want on record: the house is Roberto Cavalli, the season is Fall 2026, and the city is Los Angeles. Usually a house announces a fall campaign and the location gets lost in the press release. Here it's part of the headline news, and Los Angeles is a city we cover closely. When the images appear, Beverly Hills readers will be looking at a campaign made in their own city.
Roberto Cavalli shot its fall pictures in Los Angeles. The house has named Hayes Warner, of "The Shards," as the face of its Fall 2026 campaign, and the images were made here in the city. Indiana Piorek ran the shoot, taking the photographs and also setting its creative direction. For the archive: Roberto Cavalli, Fall 2026, starring Hayes Warner, shot in Los Angeles, photographed and directed by Indiana Piorek. A desk that tracks who wore what and when likes a campaign with a Los Angeles address, and this one goes in the file.
This fall, Jennifer Lawrence is mixing skateboard-culture basics with the refined pieces of a tailored grown-up wardrobe. She isn't choosing one camp over the other. She's wearing both. It's a reminder that personal style can hold the polished and the off-duty together. For readers sorting their own closets as the season turns, that's an easy idea to borrow.
Prime Day has brought Apple pieces down in price, from iPads and MacBooks to headphones. Apple discounts don't come along often, so it's worth paying attention when they do. A pair of headphones is an accessory like any other, and anyone who has watched a red carpet arrival knows the details carry the look. Whether you're sitting at a Palm Beach breakfast table or packing for Aspen, it's a good week to finish off the kit.
Starter has put a Super Bowl title into a capsule collection: its new pieces celebrate the New York Giants' 1986 championship. The brand is run by Carl Banks, who played for the Giants himself, so the man who wore the jersey now oversees the label honoring it. The anniversary also moves from the rack to the stands. Starter will welcome supporters at the Giants' game this Sunday, putting the clothes in front of the crowd that cares about that season most.
Carl Banks once played for the Giants and now runs Starter, and the brand has put together a capsule honoring the team's Super Bowl win of 1986. The year is printed on the collection itself, which makes it easy to file: it's a tribute to one championship season, made by a company led by someone who wore the uniform. The release has an in-person side too, with Starter welcoming fans at Sunday's Giants game, so the pieces will make their debut in the stands among the crowd they were designed for. For New York, it's a good week to wear a championship year.
October is giving month in fashion. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, brands and stores are selling special-run shoes, jewelry and capsule lines, and some are making donations as well. The money goes to research and to care for people living with the disease. So from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, a new pair of shoes bought this month can do a good deal more than finish an outfit.
Consignors bringing mares to Lexington's first sale of 2027 will work under new rules on how old a broodmare can be when she enters the ring. Keeneland's January auction, where horses of every age are offered, will be the first to use the revised terms. The changes also raise the upset price, the minimum below which a horse will not be sold, though the new figure has not been published. These are the rules buyers and sellers will be bidding under when the Kentucky sales season starts next winter.
VideoGreen Wedding Shoes has named red jelly nails a manicure of fall 2026. It is the familiar red, sheer enough that the nail underneath shows through the color, with a high-shine finish that la
The Eclipse 505 Shadow is a 50-foot express cruiser that hangs its power off the stern. Three Mercury V-12 outboards, each rated at 600 horsepower, sit across the transom. Below the waterline is a stepped bottom drawn by naval architect Michael Peters. The boat is built by hand in Cape Town. The first thing an owner would notice walking down the dock is the stern, where three big outboards stand side by side. That is the main idea of this boat. Express cruisers this size usually hide their engines under the deck. The Shadow puts all 1,800 horsepower out in the open, where the owner can see it from the cockpit. The hull is the other half of the design. Having Peters draw a stepped bottom shows that the shape under the boat got as much attention as the engines on the back. A Florida owner who has spent time on outboard boats will recognize the setup. On the Shadow it comes in a 50-foot hull built as a cruiser, made one boat at a time by hand. No price has been published.
The house that was once Michael B. Jordan's in the Hollywood Hills is now for sale at $14 million. The selling point here is the sauna. Ome Dezin, a design studio based in Los Angeles, remodeled the residence and gave the sauna a pavilion of its own, finished in mirror. That makes it a separate small building, put up for nothing but heat and quiet. In Florida we can get the heat by walking to the car, so a dedicated room for it reads as a California idea. Miami would line the walls with something louder, Palm Beach would ask whether it comes in a shade of green, and Naples would want to know if it is next to the pool. Still, we know good work, and a firm that gives the sauna its own structure and lets mirrors do the decorating has thought about it carefully. The price buys the whole house, but the sauna pavilion is what buyers will remember.
Benedikt Taschen, the publisher, has listed his Beverly Hills house for $25 million. The house is known as the Adelman Residence, and it was built in the 1950s. Two architects share the design credit: Thornton Abell and O'Neil Ford. It has now been brought back in full, so it stands today as the work of that decade. Florida knows the 1950s well, in its own regional dialects. Miami shows the era off in neon, Palm Beach keeps its version politely behind a hedge, and Naples would simply like you to admire the lanai. That's why a Beverly Hills house from those years, restored completely and still credited to the architects who drew it, is worth a look from the Gulf Coast too. It's a reminder that a house from that era can be taken care of rather than replaced.
Johnnie Walker has bottled a new Blue Label whose inspiration comes from the cooking of India. It is the second release in the house's run of bottlings built around India's celebration season. A whisky that starts from a cuisine invites a different kind of pour, the sort you might set beside the meal instead of saving it for afterward. Whether the evening is a Worth Avenue dinner party, a Naples terrace at sunset or something louder in Miami, the idea of a Scotch that takes its cue from the dinner table should find an appreciative audience here.
Eater says the food series to watch right now is about the work of bringing a restaurant into being. The piece first ran in Pre Shift, the newsletter it writes for people who work in restaurants. Diners in New York, Miami and Los Angeles book the table but rarely see the months of craft before it. This series puts that work in front of the people who eat in the dining room.
United Airlines has added three distinct tiers to its higher-end tickets on flights within the country and on short trips abroad. The airline already divides these fares this way on its longest routes, and it is now bringing the same structure to the shorter trips. United is betting that people who fly for work will pay more to keep their plans adjustable, even when the flight is brief. For anyone whose week moves between cities and dinner reservations, that choice now comes on the short leg too.
Skift has made travel built around live events the subject of its 2026 tourism summit. Its argument will make sense to anyone who books tables or rooms in a town that hosts big events: the pull of a major event reaches far past the venue itself. For the readers of this page, that wider reach means the hotel lobby, the dining room and the reservation book. The question Skift is now putting to the industry is how to arrange itself around that reach on purpose instead of by chance.
Sarah Flint's new collaboration takes its cue from Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, the two sisters at the heart of "Sense and Sensibility." It's tied to a new screen version of the Austen novel that hasn't come out yet, with Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles in the lead roles. Fashion has always loved a costume drama, but here the design starts with two specific characters: one ruled by her head, the other by her heart. For readers from Palm Beach to the Hamptons, Austen remains the best guide to dressing for the occasion, and Elinor and Marianne get plenty of occasions.
Anne Hathaway went to her interview on "The Drew Barrymore Show" in a pregnancy outfit cut with an opening at the middle, so her growing belly was on full view. It's not the first time she has chosen this: once again she skipped draping and concealment and gave the bump its own frame. On a daytime talk show set, the cutout looks like a decision, not an accident. The star of "Verity" made the impending arrival part of the outfit, and we admire the confidence.
Amazon's Prime discounts have shown up ahead of schedule, and Harper's Bazaar's picks run from Tory Burch handbags to Vince sneakers. That's a sensible pair to find on one list: a structured bag for the lunch table and a clean sneaker for everything after it. Readers who track a wardrobe the way we track a red carpet, by label first, will spot the two names right away. Early pricing mostly rewards people who already know what they want, so whoever arrives with a list gets first pick.
The women's collection at Kiko Kostadinov is designed by twin sisters, and Elle has given them a proper introduction. Their clothes are cut deliberately a few degrees off true, the kind that earns a second look before it gets a compliment. For a New York reader who keeps track of who wore what, this is a label worth knowing by name. Consider this our note to watch for it.
John Galliano and Zara have a joint collection out, and the entire run of looks can now be seen. The idea behind it was to take the retailer's own back catalog and pull those pieces apart, then rebuild them, with Galliano doing the unpicking. For a desk that keeps track of who wore what and when, a designer cutting into a house's past is something we want to watch closely. Readers from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills will want to study the lineup piece by piece, to see which seams moved and how familiar clothes came out new.
One year has passed since Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris married in New York, and the wedding still stands out in our archive because both brides wore black. The actor and the onetime pro soccer star coordinated their looks, and both outfits were spare and clean-lined instead of the usual white. Two people in the same dark color reads as a single decision made together, with neither one trying to outshine the other. It was a summer ceremony kept small, with no crowd and no spectacle. A year later, the anniversary is a good reason to look again at a wedding where two women chose to dress as a pair.
Dom Pérignon has brought in Damien Hirst for a holiday collaboration, and the result is two vintage bottles wrapped in the kaleidoscope pattern most associated with the British artist. It's a limited edition timed for year-end, so the bottles may be shown off as much as they're poured. Whether one ends up on a sideboard in Palm Beach or a mantel in Aspen, it will be the bottle guests notice before anything else on the table. The two names collaborating on one bottle are reason enough for us to cover it.
TravisMathew has teamed up with Liberty London on a small, bright collection cut for both men and women. Liberty, the British house known for its designs on fabric, supplies the patterns. The result puts that British pattern-making on a lineup meant for wardrobes on both sides of the menswear and womenswear divide, the kind of pairing that reads as well in Palm Beach as it does in Aspen.
Fable & Mane has a new chief executive, and she comes from inside the company. Cécile Budge moves up from Nirvana Brands, the parent group behind the label, where she ran operations as COO. She now takes charge of the brand itself. Readers who track who runs a label as closely as who wears it will want to remember the name.
Marfa Stance, the British label known for practical outerwear, is working with Stephen Kenn Studio on furniture. In the first release, every Marfa Stance shop gets a chair of its own, and no two shops get the same one. It's a nice detail: the seat a customer sinks into while deciding on a coat is meant to be part of the shop, not a placeholder. Anyone who has lingered in a well-made shop in New York or Beverly Hills knows the furniture often stays in your memory as long as the clothes do.
TravisMathew has teamed up with Liberty London on a limited collection cut for both him and her, and the prints come straight from the British house's archive of patterned cloth. Liberty's name has long stood for prints, and that is exactly what this release puts front and center. In Naples or Palm Beach, that means color to pack for the season ahead, with a pedigree printed into the cloth.
Valentino has picked Colman Domingo as the face of its new fragrance, a limited-edition bottling that won't stay on the counter forever. The actor wants to smell delicious every day, and the Roman house seems happy to help. A limited-edition scent rewards the shopper who moves quickly, from Worth Avenue to Rodeo Drive. In this archive we usually log what a man wore and where he wore it, and this time the record is a fragrance.
Arthur Jafa now has a museum survey, the kind of exhibition an institution gives an artist whose body of work has earned a long, considered look. ARTnews' critic called it essential viewing. In that review, the show takes the darker figures that usually stay at the edges of Jafa's work and puts them at the center, in full view. Anyone who follows where serious contemporary art is shown and argued over should put this survey on their list.
Some of the most interesting design work this season is happening on a film set, not at an auction. For the screen version of Colleen Hoover's novel "Verity," Amy Williams led the team that took a midcentury residence designed by Jens Quistgaard and turned it into the story's central setting. Quistgaard's name is usually found on the underside of a piece, so it is unusual to see it attached to a house that audiences will spend a whole movie inside. The job was to make an architect's house feel like the home of the people living in it on screen, and a collector watching will look at the rooms as closely as at the plot.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art has given a group of Carl Van Vechten photographs to the Chrysler Museum of Art in Virginia. The pictures move from one American institution to another as a gift. In this case, generosity between museums takes a form that visitors can actually go and see. For collectors who track where work ends up, the photographs now belong to the Chrysler.
A shoe tied with two pairs of laces, an idea Miu Miu introduced on its New Balance collaboration, is now one of the defining footwear details of the fall 2026 season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The look gained wide attention online in 2024, when the Miu Miu sneakers first circulated. The publication reports that ten brands have since adopted the same approach in their own designs. For readers shopping the season along Rodeo Drive and across Los Angeles, the detail is simple to spot: two laces, often in contrasting colors, running through a single shoe.
Netflix has adapted John Steinbeck's novel "East of Eden" as a series, and a Variety review gives it a favorable assessment. The review credits Florence Pugh and Hoon Lee as the center of the production. Steinbeck's book starts with the Salinas Valley, where the author was born, at the point when the region was changing from frontier land into one of the country's major farming areas. The review places that California setting at the start of its discussion of the adaptation.
Zoe Kazan has adapted John Steinbeck's novel "East of Eden" as a series for Netflix, according to a review published by The Hollywood Reporter. The series runs seven episodes. Florence Pugh leads the cast, and Mike Faist and Christopher Abbott also star. The Hollywood Reporter's critic singled out Pugh's performance as the most commanding in the production and called it frightening. The critic also praised Kazan's work as the adapter. The review notes that the book reached the screen once before, in a 1955 film directed by Elia Kazan, Zoe Kazan's grandfather. In the critic's assessment, the new series follows Steinbeck's novel more closely than that film did. For viewers in Beverly Hills, the Netflix version gives one family's second take on the same American novel, and the review judges it the more faithful of the two.
Barry Irwin, who leads Team Valor International, is the latest guest on the TDN Writers' Room podcast, which Keeneland presents. Plenty of good horses have carried his operation's name, and the best of them is Animal Kingdom, winner of the Grade I Kentucky Derby in 2011. For anyone who follows the American classics, that is reason enough to tune in: the man behind a Derby winner, talking with the writers who cover the sport.
Thoroughbred Daily News has published its weekly list of the fastest fillies and mares by Beyer Speed Figure for September 21 through 27, and the Beldame Stakes accounts for the top two places. The list does not name the Beldame finishers or give their numbers. The race's standing is clear all the same: in a week of racing across the country, the two quickest performances by fillies and mares came from that one race. That's what you'd expect from a race built to draw the best of the division. Sixth on the list is Gallant Greta, who earned her place in the seventh race at Remington Park on September 27. That race was the Ricks Memorial Stakes, run at a mile and a sixteenth on the turf. She is the only grass runner the wire item names in a top six led by the Beldame. A Beyer measures how fast a horse actually ran, so her place on a national list rests on her own time in the Ricks Memorial.
The Fasig-Tipton California Fall Yearlings Sale set new records on Wednesday at Fairplex in Pomona. By the time the last hip left the ring, 137 yearlings had sold to new owners. The new highs continue a run of strong results at recent sales. Those involved described the session as an encouraging one. For buyers and breeders from the Los Angeles basin and across the state, the results came from their own sale on their home ground. These yearlings, now bought, head toward their first lessons under saddle, and the people behind them have good reason to feel confident about the program.
The U.S. Navy has picked Boeing to develop the F/A-XX, the fighter it plans to fly from its aircraft carriers. The award is valued at more than $20 billion. Most owners will never fly an airframe built to catch a wire at sea, but they will notice when an American manufacturer wins the right to design one. This is a development award, so it pays for the engineering and testing that come before any production run.
The FAA has certified Garmin Autoland for the Epic E1000 AX. For owners, the most useful detail is where it can be started. Activation isn't limited to the left seat: a passenger can trigger it from more than one spot behind the cockpit. When the pilot is the only person up front, that matters more than anything on the spec sheet, and before the next departure it's worth showing everyone aboard where those spots are.
When the gallery doors close this Saturday, October 3, the evening keeps going: Portals, the after-party to the art crawl, is on the calendar for that night. It suits a city where the painting on the wall and the song on the stage often come from the same kind of person. Plan the walk with the late part in mind. Finding out where the crawl ends up can be as much the pleasure as the art.
Fall Fest has returned to Produce Place. Nashville Guru calls it a festive event built around the season, and the return alone says enough: when a gathering comes back, someone enjoyed it the first time. This is the kind of autumn weekend this city does well, with neighbors coming out because the season has turned and there's a good reason to be outside. Mark it down as a reason to go out this fall.
The Ryan Seacrest Foundation has a new senior vice president, and Clark Sweat now leads its partnerships and its marketing. Those two jobs decide how a foundation gets in front of people and who stands next to it once it does. The news ran first in MusicRow, the trade paper this town reads before it reads anything else. A title like this one rarely gets a headline, and it's worth knowing the name of the person who holds it.
The Truth, the new music venue from Live Nation, opens to the public this Thursday in October. It holds 4,400 people, which puts it between an intimate club and an arena. For a city that measures itself by the talent on its stages, a room this size gives touring acts another reason to stop here. A concert calendar is already posted for the opening weeks, along with practical advice for first-time visitors. Anyone planning to go should look at both before Thursday night.
Tyla Rodrigues has put pen to paper with Sony Music Publishing's Nashville office, and the agreement is global in scope. So the deal is signed here in town, and the songs it covers can travel to any market the company reaches. For a city that measures its quiet success in songs placed, few rooms matter more than a major publisher's. This one now has Rodrigues on its roster.
Dolly Parton's coffee, Cup of Ambition, can now be ordered online. It is also being poured at the stops of the Sip and Sample Tour, where people can taste it before they buy a bag. In a town that drinks its coffee in kitchens on Music Row and in Green Hills, a Dolly blend fits easily beside the morning set list. If you can't get to a tour stop, you can still order a bag home.
The Hoofbeat Festival has named every act on the bill for its fortieth edition. The country festival takes place in Cadott, Wisconsin, a long way from Music Row. Forty editions is a real number for any festival, and getting there takes steady work from the people who run it. With the complete roster now public, the artists and the teams who book them in Green Hills offices know exactly who is headed north this time.
Ariel Dumas, formerly head writer of The Late Show, wrote this year's Emmys broadcast, and Stephen Colbert stopped to credit her from the stage. Few people who write a ceremony get named during it, and this was the biggest night in television. In a conversation with Vanity Fair, Dumas talked about meeting Taylor Swift, explained why she is pushing back against artificial intelligence, and confirmed she has a new job writing for another host. Everyone will be comparing notes on the Emmys at the first dinners of the season, so her name is worth knowing before then.
Meghan Markle's As Ever has joined the chocolatier Compartés on a holiday calendar that will only be made in a short run, and its design takes its cue from the house she keeps in Montecito. It is a gift for counting down the days to Christmas, one small door each morning, and it comes with a sense of place from the other coast. For anyone already planning hostess gifts for the season, it may be the one to order early, before the run is gone.
Rezvani has introduced a kit that lets owners of twin-clutch automatic cars change gears by hand, with the revs matched on every shift. The company says the kit can be fitted to any twin-clutch gearbox. The first account of it adds a fair caveat: this is not quite a full manual conversion. For the collector who loves a modern car but misses working through the gears, it is a piece of engineering built around that feeling.
Car and Driver has brought out two Honda Accord coupes, a 1988 and a 1994, and both are in the condition they left the dealer in. They are two-door Accords six model years apart, kept so carefully that they could still be on the sales floor. For the magazine, the pair is evidence of why the Accord keeps landing on its annual list of the best cars on sale. For collectors from Naples to Nashville who prize the everyday car preserved as well as the exotic one, these two coupes show how good an ordinary Accord can still look when it is looked after.
A full photo record of the 1988 Honda Accord Coupe in LX-i trim has been published, and it gives the cabin as much attention as the bodywork. For owners of the two-door, and for collectors thinking about buying one, a complete visual reference for a single model year and trim is worth saving. It lets a reader compare the car in their own garage with the published images, panel by panel and seat by seat. The gallery is pictures only, so we add nothing to it here except a recommendation to take a look.
Car and Driver has put together a complete photo gallery of the 1994 Honda Accord Coupe in EX trim, giving the cabin as much attention as the bodywork. For anyone who keeps one of these coupes in a Florida garage or a Colorado driveway, a gallery like this is worth bookmarking as a clear reference for how the car should look, outside and in. We note it because it covers a single model year in a single trim, and that is the kind of precision our readers bring to their own cars.
If a compact Audi is on your list for next year, Car and Driver has published a full gallery of the 2026 Q3's exterior, photographed in S Line Quattro specification. The photos take the car all the way around, from nose to flanks to tail, much as a careful buyer would on a dealer lot in Naples or in a driveway in Aspen. This is a look at the car, not a drive, and we offer no opinion on how the new model year handles on the road. For owners who like to know a car's lines before seeing it in person, the gallery is a useful first look.
Anyone considering Audi's next compact crossover can now study the cabin of the 2026 Q3, in S Line Quattro trim, in a full photographic walk-through. The gallery covers the interior from each vantage point, much as a careful buyer would by opening every door on a showroom floor. It is a look, not a drive, and we pass it along on those terms. The photographs show the space; how it holds up through a Colorado winter or a Florida summer is for the people who will own one to say.
Aston Martin has added a GT variant to its DBX SUV line, and what matters most to anyone weighing one is what it doesn't give up. The GT uses the V-8 from the DBX S, rated at 717 horsepower, with no change in output. The difference lies in how it treats the people on board: the suspension has been set up for a gentler ride, and the interior has been made more luxurious. Aston Martin has kept the power at the top of the range and moved the chassis and cabin toward comfort. For a buyer in Palm Beach or Aspen choosing between the two, the deciding factor is now the kind of ride they want, because both cars have the same engine. We haven't driven the GT. The engine, the suspension and the cabin are the only details reported so far, and this story covers nothing beyond them.
Anyone weighing a new SUV for the garage can now see where they would actually spend their time. Photographs of the 2027 Aston Martin DBX GT's cabin have been published, giving readers a view of this model year's interior. People choose an SUV like this for the hours they spend inside it as much as for how it looks in a driveway in Palm Beach or Aspen, so the cabin matters most. We have not driven it and offer no verdict on it, but the pictures are the news and they are worth a careful look.
Aston Martin has added a GT to the 2027 DBX lineup. It makes 717 horsepower, exactly as much as the DBX S, so the two are equally powerful. What sets the GT apart is a revised suspension tune and a cabin with more decorative upholstery. For owners choosing between the two, it comes down to how the car rides and what the interior looks like, since the power is the same.
Aston Martin's 2027 DBX GT can now be studied in full from the outside, in a photo set that covers the car from each angle. For owners and collectors, that is a useful first look: the whole shape, set out plainly, with nothing to go on but the car itself. The images show the exterior only, and we have not driven the car, so that is all we report here. For readers from Palm Beach to Aspen who follow the marque's model years closely, the 2027 DBX GT now has a face to go with its name.
At the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, a couple's ceremony on the bluff skipped the usual arch of flowers. Planners Cassandra & Company Weddings built an elevated platform, set at a slant, at the front of the ceremony space. Pink-toned grasses ran along both sides of the aisle leading up to it. For anyone planning a ceremony, this means two decisions that are usually treated as one: what frames the couple, and what lines the walk to them. Here the frame is a piece of construction rather than an arrangement, and the color comes from the grasses at guests' feet. On an open bluff, a raised platform gives the ceremony a clear focal point without depending on a tall floral structure. Expect it to go through the planner and a builder rather than the florist, so it belongs on a different line of the budget. Ask about it at the walkthrough if your ceremony site is exposed and on the coast.
Reagan and Jon married in Santa Barbara, close to the water, with wildflowers setting the look during the day and candles taking over once the sun went down. A bride planning near the ocean should notice that combination: the flowers handle the daylight hours, and the candles carry the evening. In this case the candles mattered, because the party ran late into the night, and those late hours are when a waterfront wedding's lighting plan gets tested.
A wedding at Chatham Vineyards on Virginia's Eastern Shore made its case for putting the reception under canvas instead of indoors. The venue gave the couple two things to work with: a house with real age on it and a view out over the water. Social Graces Events, which produced the day, raised a large white sailcloth tent on the property, and that tent became the main room of the celebration. The palette held to two colors, green and white, an easy pairing beside a working vineyard and a waterline. For a bride comparing tented receptions with ballroom ones, this is the useful point: a large tent lets a property with an old house and open water serve as the venue itself, with no wall between the guests and the view. Anyone planning a tented wedding at a site with views worth seeing should look at how this one was handled.
This wedding was planned around a room with glass from floor to ceiling, so the trees and sky outside did most of the decorating. When you tour a venue like this, count the windows as part of the décor budget, because the view is doing work you would otherwise pay florals to do. The trade-off is time: daylight through that much glass changes the room by the hour, so set the ceremony and portraits for the light you want. The gallery covers the getting-ready hours, bridal portraits and flat lays, which shows the planning carried through to the small details.
The dance company known for twenty years as A.I.M by Kyle Abraham now has a new name: Kyle Abraham Dance Vanguard. A new name for an established institution is a little like a new name over the door of a well-kept house. The rooms are the same, but the owners are saying how they mean to live there from now on. In a conversation about the change, the choreographer talked about how the company has grown, how it backs the dancers and artists who work with it, and where it goes next.
A converted industrial building on East 13th Street in the East Village is the subject of this story. The conversion came from two people working together, an architectural historian and an artist. The building also served as the closing chapter of an experiment in living together that had started in London and later crossed the Atlantic to Manhattan. The architectural interest is in the reuse: a building made for manufacturing was turned into a home for people sharing a life under one roof. In a neighborhood known for its walk-ups and tenements, a former factory adapted for this purpose is unusual. Neither the price nor the architects' names are on the record here, so this desk does not estimate them. What is on the record is the address, the type of building, and the place it held as the last home of an idea that began overseas.
Fernando Mastrangelo has made his studio smaller on purpose. He used to run a team of twenty, and he has slimmed that down so he can be the one shaping the pieces again. For a reader who cares how a house is furnished, that matters. An object made by its designer, start to finish, carries his hand in a way that work passed through a larger shop does not. It is a vote for craft over scale, and the rooms that eventually hold his work will be the better for it.
Eny Lee Parker's new collection for Lulu and Georgia began with a small object in a New York museum: a brooch shaped like a cherry, in the collection of The Met. This is her second collaboration with the retailer. She told Architectural Digest that she was after a balance between the polished and the slightly peculiar. A brooch is a fitting place to find that balance, because it is jewelry made to be looked at closely, small enough to hold in one hand and still carefully made. A cherry is an odd and cheerful thing to render that carefully, and that pull between seriousness and whimsy is the point of the new line. The idea started in a gallery case in New York and has become a collection for the home.
People who plan gatherings for a living have set out the conventions for placing guests at a dressed-up dinner table. This part of entertaining is finished before anyone rings the bell: the place cards, the order around the table, and the choice of who will spend the evening talking with whom. In a house built for hosting, such as a long table in a Palm Beach dining room or a candlelit room off a Hamptons terrace, that arrangement matters as much to the night as the menu. Their guidance treats the plan as something worth working out chair by chair.
Brandon Blackwood, who designs clothing and accessories, has renovated a town house in Brooklyn. His mother ran the job as its contractor. She was the person responsible for the work being done properly, from the first trade on site to the last finish. She also added a skylight that her son didn't know about until it was in, and it now lets daylight in from overhead. A town house is usually a long, narrow building, and light from above can make a real difference in one. Many houses in New York are renovated, but few are built by a parent for a child, and in this one he will see that gift whenever the sun comes through. The house has not been put on the market, and no price is attached to this story. It is about a house and the people who made it.
A Manhattan apartment once lived in by Jackson Pollock is now for sale, with an asking price just short of $2 million. The home is in the West Village. Pollock lived there in the thirties, sharing it with his brother and his brother's wife. That was years before his name became shorthand for Abstract Expressionism, the American movement he helped shape. The sale is still ahead and no closing figure exists yet, so the only number on the record is the asking price. For anyone who follows the city's market, it is a rare listing that can say a painter of Pollock's importance once lived inside its walls.
Tyler Perry has put his Mediterranean-style villa in Beverly Hills on the market at $60 million. The price is on the record and public, and that is the kind of number this desk exists to note. The house is also known for something besides its asking figure. In 2020, after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved from Britain to California, they stayed in this house during their first stretch in the state. Meghan has since said the stay gave the couple room to settle and catch their breath. As a result, the listing comes with a history few Beverly Hills offerings can claim: it gave a newly arrived family a place to begin. The style suits the setting, since the Mediterranean villa has long been one of the city's signature looks, and Perry's house is a large example of it. Buyers looking at this listing will be weighing the house and also its first chapter in the Sussexes' California story.
Architectural Digest has picked eight stoneware dinnerware brands for 2026, and the choices run from handmade to mass-market. One is a pottery workshop in Brooklyn, so New York earns its place on the list for work made by hand. At the other end is a CB2 set priced below what two people would spend on a restaurant meal, which means a well-dressed table doesn't have to cost much. Between the two, the list treats the plates and bowls that go out every night with the same care as a house's architecture.
Artificial intelligence isn't handing control of travel search to one new master. It's spreading the search across many different places where a trip can begin. Skift reports that Google isn't simply being swapped out for another single gateway. For a reader planning a stay in Palm Beach, Aspen or New York, that means there is now more than one way to find the room.
Choice Hotels has agreed to acquire Harvest Hosts, a club for people who travel by RV, for $130 million. The deal gives the American hotel group a membership of roughly 500,000 RV travelers. For our readers, it's a reminder that a hotel company's guests don't always arrive by plane or taxi. Some arrive behind the wheel, with the kitchen and the bed already on board. Dom Dragisich, Choice's chief executive, now has to show that those RV travelers will also book hotel nights. That is the measure of this acquisition: whether people who already love the open road will choose a Choice hotel room for some of their nights.
Ken Griffin, a collector whose name readers of this page will know, has pledged $3 billion to Carnegie Mellon University. No college or university has ever received a larger single gift. The money is going to something the university is building in Miami. For this desk, the most important part is the university's own promise: humanities, arts and design will not be side subjects but a central part of the plan. That is unusual for a commitment of this size, and our readers will want to watch how it develops. A gift on this scale changes the cultural map of a city, and this one is pointed at Miami, a city whose galleries, design districts and auction calendar we already follow closely. When a collector's money goes into teaching and studying how things are made, the future makers, curators and buyers that Miami's market depends on come from that work. The details of what Carnegie Mellon will build are still to come, and we will report them as they are made public.
More than seventy vintage motorcycles from Billy Joel's collection are going to auction this November with Gooding Christie's. The house is the official auctioneer of Rétromobile New York, so the sale belongs to the city's collector-car calendar. It is a large single-owner group, and the number alone says the collection was built with commitment over a long run rather than a few chance buys. Single-owner sales get a particular kind of attention. A collector reads the lineup as a record of one person's eye, and the provenance travels with every machine that crosses the block. For bidders the appeal is that the whole group is offered at once, so the collection can be seen together before it is dispersed to new owners. Gooding Christie's has not published the individual motorcycles or any estimates, and we will report the lots and results as they become public.
Sotheby's in New York is putting together one of the most concentrated sales of the autumn auction calendar. It has just twelve works, and the total attached to it is $450 million. Paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro head the group. With a list that short, each of the three names carries real weight. A twelve-lot sale leaves no room for filler. Every picture on the wall at preview has to hold attention alone, and a visitor can take in the whole offering in one unhurried walk. For collectors in New York, it is one of the season's set pieces, held in the city where it will change hands. The figure is large and the list is small, and that pairing is the story here.
Ynon Kreiz will become co-chief executive of the company formed by Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, Variety reported. David Ellison, who leads Paramount, made the appointment. Kreiz is leaving his post as chief executive of Mattel, where he served for eight years. The deal joining Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery is set to be completed on Oct. 6, according to the report. Kreiz will lead the combined studio alongside Ellison as co-chief executive. With the appointment, the head of a major toy company moves into the leadership of one of the largest media companies in the country.
Neon is developing a feature film drawn from The SCP Foundation, an online horror forum whose stories are written by its community of contributors. The film will be made up of several separate stories rather than one single narrative. The project is designed to give filmmakers early in their careers a place on screen. For readers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles, the news points to a feature project that will give new directors a chance to work.
Sony has dated two films for the year-end season of 2027. One is "24 Jump Street," the next comedy in the "Jump Street" series. The other is Ridley Scott's new version of "Treasure Island," with Hugh Jackman in the lead. Both titles now fall in the holiday window that Los Angeles moviegoers will plan around a year from now. The wire item gave no specific day for either release.
"Verity" opens in theaters this weekend with industry projections pointing to an opening of about $35 million. The film is based on the best-selling novel by Colleen Hoover and stars Anne Hathaway. If the projection holds, it would be the third film this year to place Hathaway first in the weekend rankings. The $35 million figure is a forecast, and the final opening total will be known after the weekend's ticket sales are counted. For Beverly Hills readers, the weekend gross is the usual measure of how a new release has been received, and this one turns on whether a single performer can lead the weekly chart three times in one calendar year.
Variety Film has published its Golden Globes predictions, with a focus on how contenders will be sorted into the genre categories. The forecast names "Obsession," "Michael" and "Wildwood" among the titles under consideration, along with others the publication did not list in its headline. The predictions are part of the outlet's ongoing awards coverage, which tracks the Oscars, the Emmys and other honors through the year. For Beverly Hills readers following awards season, the list shows which films are being discussed as Globes contenders.
Variety has published predictions for the Golden Globes, with a focus on how films are being sorted into the awards' genre categories. The forecast names "Obsession," "Michael" and "Wildwood" among the titles under consideration, along with others it did not list in the headline. The predictions appear in the publication's Awards Circuit section, which follows the Oscars, the Emmys and other honors throughout the year.
Bradley Whitford, a member of the original cast of "The West Wing," said in an interview with Variety that the political drama could come back as a series with a set number of episodes. He described the idea in general terms and did not give a timeline, a network or a cast list. The item also mentions the show's creator, Aaron Sorkin; the available excerpt does not say what part, if any, he would have. In Beverly Hills, where much of the television business lives and works, an idea like this from one of a show's own actors usually draws attention well before anything is announced.
The film "Obsession" has been entered in the Golden Globes' musical and comedy categories, according to The Hollywood Reporter. People familiar with the decision point to earlier films that mixed genres and were still accepted in those categories at the Globes and went on to earn nominations there. "Get Out" is one of the titles they name. With this entry, "Obsession" will compete with the season's comedies and musicals rather than with its dramas.
John Galliano's first collection for Zara goes on sale today, Oct. 1, with prices beginning at $29.90, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Galliano made the collection from Zara's own archive, reworking garments the retailer released in earlier seasons. The Hollywood Reporter describes his method as applying a couture approach to that existing material. The collection is the first release under an agreement between Galliano and Zara that runs for two years. For readers in Beverly Hills, the opening price is the main detail: $29.90 for clothing designed by Galliano and made with couture methods.
The second season of "Scrubs" opens with its characters reaching middle age, and showrunner Aseem Batra has described the direction the series will take this season. The season begins with two episodes back to back. Those episodes put four versions of J.D. on screen together, and Batra has explained how that idea was developed. For viewers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles, where much of the television industry works, the season opener shows the decisions a writers' room makes when it brings a series back.
Laura Benanti, who built her career on Broadway, now has a solo comedy show. It is called "Laura Benanti: Nobody Cares," and she is the only performer. The show puts her in front of an audience as a comic instead of in a musical or a play. Variety interviewed her about the move.
John Galliano's Zara collection has been shown for the first time, and the early look is a reward for anyone who keeps a list of who designed what, and when. He went back through the brand's past designs and remade them into pieces that read as his own work, not Zara's. In fashion, archive projects usually go one of two ways: the newcomer either defers to the house or takes it over. This one comes down clearly on the side of the designer's own hand. From a New York sidewalk to a Palm Beach lunch, this is the collection our readers will want to identify by name.
Anne Hathaway is expecting, and her wardrobe for this chapter takes bold, saturated color and pairs it with a soft, romantic line. It's the kind of combination you'd notice from across a room, whether that room is in Beverly Hills or on Worth Avenue. Clear, confident shades are hard to wear even without a bump to dress around, and that's why we're paying attention.
Sneaker archivists, take note: a "Black Pack" of Michael Jordan sneakers is nearly here, and the first images are out before the shoes hit shelves. The Air Jordan 16 Retro SP is coming out as a set with the Air Jordan 14 Retro Low SP, and supply will be limited. It's a sharp bit of styling, putting two separate chapters of the Jordan line side by side under one dark name. Whether you'll be chasing a pair on Fifth Avenue or Rodeo Drive, these two are meant to be talked about together.
Frank Bracken is now president of Nobull, and in a new interview he explained how he plans to run the sneaker label. He covered the current state of retail, his overall strategy for the brand, and the investors behind it, Tom Brady among them. He also discussed the training concept at the center of the label's identity. For readers who think of a sneaker as part of an outfit and not only as gear, it's a chance to hear from the person now shaping one.
Gillian Anderson is in the fullest stretch of her career so far, and Harper's Bazaar has the conversation to show for it. Derek C. Blasberg sat down with the actress for a profile that covers a lot of ground, from the candid to the playful: desire, the ventures she runs alongside acting, and Dana Scully. The magazine treats this chapter as a revival, and it even made up a name for it from her surname. A profile like this marks the moment in print when a career turns a page. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, we'll be watching to see what she wears to every red carpet that comes next.
New York stylist Alicia Lombardini is hiring a junior assistant, part-time, and wants someone to start right away. The job is done in person, working right next to the stylist, and it covers three kinds of dressing: famous clients, magazine shoots and private wardrobes. If you've ever studied a red-carpet look and wondered who got it there before the cameras showed up, this is the part of the business that sits just out of frame. In a city where the clothes rail is never far from the spotlight, an opening like this is a door worth knowing about.
Anne Hathaway is wearing the season's deepest red on her nails, a manicure that goes by the name "Cherry Noir." Picture burgundy pushed toward dark, a shade that belongs to fall evenings rather than summer afternoons. The best part is how little it asks, since this is a look you can copy at home or in your usual salon chair. Whether the evening ends in New York or Aspen, it's the kind of color that makes a wine glass look intentional.
Vogue has picked out seven handbag directions for autumn/winter 2026, and the two it names pull in opposite directions: shoulder bags made oversized and a fresh take on the clutch. One rides high and roomy under the arm, while the other sits small in the palm. That gives a New York sidewalk in October and a Palm Beach dinner in season the same shopping list, just used two ways. The archive will note which one turns up on the first red carpet of the fall.
Vogue has picked six body creams made with glycolic and lactic acid, the alpha-hydroxy pair that clears away the dull top layer so newer, softer skin comes through. They're meant for the bumpy upper arms of keratosis pilaris and for patches that feel coarse to the touch. Down here, a strapless neckline or a backless gown shows more skin than any jewelry, so that skin matters. Consider this the quiet groundwork, done at home well before anyone reaches the step-and-repeat.
New polling from YouGov finds that a majority of Americans still pick up their shoes in a store rather than ordering them online. For a title that keeps track of heels, hems and the moment a look comes together, that makes sense. A shoe is the one part of an outfit you have to walk in before you can judge it, whether the walk is down a Palm Beach boutique aisle or across a Beverly Hills showroom carpet. The pair still gets chosen at the fitting seat, and the order confirmation comes second.
New YouGov polling finds that most American shoppers still pick a physical store over other options when they buy footwear. The survey doesn't give their reasons, so we won't supply any. What it shows is a clear preference for walking in the door. From the salons of New York to the boutiques of Palm Beach and Beverly Hills, that's good news for the people who keep a shoe floor well stocked and well run. An archive that tracks who wore what to which occasion has always known that a heel on the red carpet was first a heel in someone's hand.
Levi's has chosen John Vandemore, the chief financial officer of Skechers, to run its finances. He will take over from Harmit Singh, who said in April that he would be retiring. We usually track who wore the jeans and when, so it's fair to also note who now looks after the books behind them. It's a handoff from sneakers to five-pocket denim, two staples of the American wardrobe, and the move is a sign of confidence in a steady hand.
Miku Martineau, the 22-year-old actor from Canada, has a new title on Netflix called "Crew Girl." She credits her time in sports with getting her ready for the role. She's also already thinking about what she'll do after this series. There's no red-carpet look to log yet, but if she walks a carpet in Los Angeles or New York, we'll be watching for the label.
Metacine, the high-end skin care collection from Dr. Diamond, comes down to six treatments, and each one is built around its active ingredients. That short list is good news for anyone who prefers a vanity edited the way a good closet is, with fewer pieces that each do real work. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, the readers who know the year and house of every gown on the carpet will want the same precision about what goes on before the gown does. Six well-chosen formulas fit on one shelf, and that may be the most elegant thing about the line.
Hailey Bieber has picked her color for fall: a deep chocolate-ganache shade that Elle now counts as the manicure of the season. The name comes from the pastry kitchen. It's the dark, glossy brown of a cake's finishing pour, and the look tips its hat to the baking-tent crowd. For readers from Palm Beach to Aspen putting away summer's pale polish, it's an easy request at the salon: ask for ganache.
Photographer Mert Alas and Miley Cyrus have made not one but three separate videos for "Bass Persuades," and each takes a different direction. In an exclusive conversation, Alas said the goal across the photographs and the films was confidence: unpolished, a little risky and still beautiful. For readers here who track how a single collaboration can produce several looks, the work is a lesson in range from one shared creative partnership.
The Hollywood Bowl hosted a one-night collaboration between Lauren Halsey and Erykah Badu, and Vogue described the result as a full funk spectacle. The Bowl is about as Los Angeles as a stage can be: a shell set into the hills under an open sky, where many famous evenings have played out. Putting two names together there, for a single date, made this one worth a closer look. Halsey explained to Vogue why this project felt different. She said an art commission usually moves in a straight line: the job comes in, the piece gets made, it goes to the gallery, and it's done. Her answer is cut off in the excerpt we have. Still, she set up that familiar routine so she could say this time was something else. That contrast is the reason we're covering it. An artist used to finishing a piece and shipping it to a gallery made something for a stage that exists for one evening and then is gone. Anyone who wasn't at the Bowl that night missed it in person, because it was never going to be shown again.
Ovation, a 60-foot Hatteras motoryacht, is on the market, and its biggest selling point is where it has spent its time: mostly in fresh water, away from the salt that wears on hulls, metal fittings and machinery. A professional captain has looked after the boat, and money has not limited that upkeep. Those two facts are what a careful buyer checks first on a brokerage boat of this size, and Ovation has both. No asking price has been published, so we won't guess at one.
The Hunt 70 is a yacht built for going a long way, with a hull and design from Ray Hunt Design and construction at Lyman-Morse in Maine. Pairing that design office with that yard puts the boat in a small class: a voyaging yacht drawn and built entirely on home waters. Yachting calls it one of a kind. For owners who want serious range without leaving American craftsmanship behind, the joint project gives them a new boat to consider.
Green Wedding Shoes has named red jelly nails a manicure of fall 2026. It is the familiar red, sheer enough that the nail underneath shows through the color, with a high-shine finish that lands somewhere between polish and stained glass. The write-up collected twenty variations on it. On a hand held out for a ring, it is a red that pays off up close.
The CMA Foundation has two new partners in Lainey Wilson and Zach Top. The arrangement is meant to build on investments the foundation has already made. Two artists with their names on the marquee are putting them behind a charitable cause, which is how this town shows its generosity at its best. In a city that knows talent and money alike, it's worth noting when both go toward the same good work.
Every festival needs someone who builds it long before the crowd shows up, and at Gulf Coast Jam, Rendy Lovelady is one of those people as a founding partner of the event. Lovelady's work goes beyond one festival: artist management and staging live shows are both part of the job. Nashville's music-business trade press has now given Lovelady a spot in its series on the careers that keep this town running. That's the kind of attention Nashville tends to give to the people who make the shows possible, not just to the ones on the stage.
Town & Country has put together its list of the facial rooms Manhattan regards most highly, covering everything from hands-on contouring work to the fine needle. It also covers the treatments meant to send a face out onto Fifth Avenue looking polished enough to catch the light. For anyone who keeps an apartment uptown, or who simply stops through on the way back to the island, it's a practical list of whose hands to book. A good complexion still comes down to good craftsmanship, and New York has plenty of both.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has turned its galleries over to the house as an idea. "Home of the Future, 1925-1985: Designing Domestic Utopias" covers six decades, from the mid-1920s to the mid-1980s, and asks what designers thought everyday life at home could become. Running with it is "The Kitchen and Its Discontents," which takes up a single room and the hopes that have been placed on it. Together, the two shows treat domestic design as a series of proposals for a better way to live, not just as a run of finished objects. For collectors in Los Angeles, the pairing is an invitation to look at the design of the home as seriously as a museum does: as a record of ambition, made one room at a time. The span in the title alone suggests how much ground the galleries have to cover, and how long the question of the ideal house has held the attention of the people who design for it.
Here is a $22.5 million house in Paradise Valley, Arizona, that keeps the whole evening at home: a nightclub under its own roof and a zipline outside. Floridians know how this usually works. In Miami the evening heads out, in Palm Beach it moves on to someone else's terrace, and in Naples it ends at a sensible hour. This house seems to have taken all three habits into account and decided to stay in. It has six bedrooms and eight and a half baths, so the guests who come for the dancing have somewhere to sleep afterward. There is also a theater set out of sight, the sort of room you only find if someone shows you where to look. Outdoors, past the zipline, a tennis court takes care of the next morning. It's a house designed so nobody has a reason to call a car, and it's worth admiring for planning the whole weekend before anyone arrives.
Jeep has given the 2027 Cherokee Trailhawk a hybrid powertrain rated at 31 miles per gallon, and it has kept the hardware a Trailhawk badge is supposed to stand for. Underneath is a transfer case with two speeds, so the driver has a low range for steep, slow ground. The rear axle has a locker, which makes both rear wheels turn together when one of them loses grip. There are 9 inches between the underbody and the dirt, and the truck can ford water up to 24 inches deep. In Colorado, that combination makes sense. An owner can drive the highway out of Denver on a fuel figure that would suit a commuter car, then take the same SUV up a rutted forest road toward Aspen, or across a creek swollen with snowmelt, without changing vehicles. Those numbers come from Jeep's specifications. We have not driven the car, and we will not describe how it behaves on the trail until we have.
Architectural Digest's editors have tried out a range of towels sold through Amazon and narrowed them down to nine they would recommend for the bath. Some of those picks can arrive the same day they are ordered. The list names no single winner in this report, and it gives no price on the record, so neither do we. A towel is a small part of a house, but it is one a household touches every day.
Season 39 of "The Amazing Race" is opening across two consecutive evenings, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The first episode aired Sept. 30, and the second follows on Oct. 1. Viewers in Beverly Hills who missed Tuesday's episode can watch it before the second night. The Hollywood Reporter has published details on how to stream the season online.
Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare, the Puerto Rico organization that looks after racehorses once their careers on the track are over, has reached its tenth year. Kelley Stobie helped found it and still runs it as executive director. Ten years is a real milestone for any nonprofit, and it means more for one built around the horse's life after racing, the part of the sport that happens away from the finish line and the sales ring. The anniversary also says something about the person running it. Stobie's days are anything but routine. They begin at a brisk pace and pick up speed as they go. Puerto Rico is American soil, and a racing community anywhere under the flag is part of the same Thoroughbred story our readers follow from Florida to New York. The founding of CTA ten years ago, and the fact that it is still at work today, is the kind of steady commitment the American turf owes its horses.
VideoA new study puts general aviation's value to the national economy at $339 billion. The same study ties more than 1.3 million jobs across the country to the sector. For owners, general aviati
A new study puts general aviation's value to the national economy at $339 billion. The same study ties more than 1.3 million jobs across the country to the sector. For owners, general aviation isn't an abstraction. It's the category their own aircraft fly under, whether the hangar is in Naples, Nashville or Colorado. These two numbers describe that whole category, from the Florida coast to the Rockies, and every owner is somewhere inside them.
The question is whether a controller can tell when the altimeter setting in your cockpit is wrong, and the answer comes down to the transponder and pressure altitude. That matters as much on a departure out of Palm Beach as on an arrival into Aspen. Controllers have ways to spot an aircraft flying at an altitude other than the one it was assigned, and the check runs through equipment every owner already carries. It doesn't replace setting the altimeter correctly, but it's worth knowing what the facility on the other end of the frequency can see.
A 1979 Piper PA-28-201T Turbo Dakota is up for sale, and the case for it rests on what is behind the panel and under the cowling rather than on its build year. The panel is now built around Garmin's G3X Touch, and a GFC 500 autopilot handles the flying. The turbocharged powerplant up front is presented as low-time. For an owner, that combination addresses the usual worries about an airframe of this age: dated instruments, hand-flying on long legs, and an engine nearing the end of its run. It also leaves a buyer with a known Piper airframe and a cockpit that looks like one from this decade. The listing was picked out on AircraftForSale as one of its featured aircraft.
According to the FAA, the airfield at Midway Atoll (MDY) needs substantial rehabilitation within three to five years if it is to stay open. The field's value is the role it fills on long overwater Pacific routes, where it serves as a diversion point for extended-range twin-engine flights, known as ETOPS. Airlines are pressing to keep it available. For anyone who has planned an oceanic leg, the issue is simple: an alternate is only useful if its pavement and services are still there when you need them. For now, the agency has given the timeline and the scope of the problem, and the next step is deciding who takes on the work.
Rossinavi has a new yacht, and her name is Heed. She measures 173 feet, and among her features is a swimming pool set aside for the owner's use. The first look describes a yacht with plenty of room, a considered sense of style, and a pool that makes its point without overdoing it.
Ovation, a 60-foot motor yacht built by Hatteras, is for sale, and owners will see the appeal of her history right away: she has spent most of her life away from salt water. A professional captain has looked after her, and the owners paid for her upkeep without holding back. For a buyer looking at sixty-foot motor yachts, those two facts answer the first questions they would ask. No asking price has been published.
The Drive is keeping a 2026 Honda Prelude for an extended evaluation, and its latest report looks at the equipment Honda fits to every example. The report separates the features that earn their place from the ones that fall short, and it explains what a buyer can expect to find in the car as delivered. Owners and collectors who judge a new model by what it offers from the start will want that answer before anything else. The findings are The Drive's own, and What They Drive has not driven the car.
Jeep's 2027 Cherokee comes in Trailhawk form and carries the brand's Trail-Rated badge. The Drive has set it beside the compact off-road SUVs it will be shopped against, and Ford's Bronco Sport Sasquatch leads that list. We have not driven either vehicle, and this is not a verdict from behind the wheel. For owners here in Colorado and anywhere else a gravel road ends at a trailhead, the news is simple: the class that serves them has a new Trail-Rated entry for 2027.
Road & Track makes the case that an empty place has a short window between the day someone sees what it could be and the day the rest of the world moves in. For an owner, that window is the reason to take the car out. It means an unmarked road, a view with nobody else at it, and a destination you reached before it had a name. Whether that is a back road in Colorado or a quiet stretch of Florida coast, the advice for the collector is simple: go while it is still quiet.
Ionna, the charging company jointly held by eight carmakers, is twice the size it was at the start of 2026, according to its chief executive, Seth Cutler. For anyone who owns an electric car, doubling in one year means twice as many places to plug in, and those places are backed by the companies that build the cars. Cutler spoke with The Drive about that growth and about one obvious gap on the map: Los Angeles, where the network has yet to arrive. Owners in Beverly Hills and across the Westside can watch this network for now, but they can't use it.
For the 2027 model year, Jeep is bringing the Trailhawk name back to the Cherokee, the smaller of its two Cherokee models. The larger Jeep has already regained the badge, so both sizes will again offer a Trailhawk. Car and Driver describes the new version as the Cherokee built for rougher ground. Owners in Colorado who head for the high country on weekends can once again get that badge on the compact Jeep.
Anyone following Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N has a new reference for the 2027 model year: a full evaluation with the car's pricing and technical specifications, all in one place. For owners deciding whether to trade up, and for collectors who note every model year of a nameplate, that kind of complete record matters. What They Drive did not drive the car, so we pass along no verdict of our own. The review, the price and the specifications are available from the original source.
The editor of Car and Driver answered a run of 22 straight wet days by buying a car with a folding roof: a 1991 BMW 325i convertible. The 1991 model year puts it in the E30 generation of the 3 Series, the drop-top version of BMW's six-cylinder 325i. Buying an open car after three weeks of rain was a hopeful move, and one that owners from Naples to Aspen would understand. It's a car bought for the first dry morning.
For the reader who winters on Worth Avenue or along Gulf Shore Boulevard and still wants a key to Manhattan, the list of homes at the Flatiron Building has grown very short. One of the few that remain is now for sale at $15.3 million. It has four bedrooms across 3,822 square feet, which works out to roughly $4,000 a foot. A Naples buyer will do that math before the listing finishes loading. A Palm Beach buyer will ask who did the interiors, and the answer is Dan Fink. In Miami, they'll want to know if there's a roof deck, and the listing doesn't say. What it does offer is space, a known designer's hand and an address in one of New York's most recognized buildings, at a moment when very few of its homes are left. For those who divide the year between the Florida coast and the city, it's a rare chance to claim a corner of a landmark before the building sells out.
Rossinavi has built Heed, a 173-foot superyacht, and its standout feature is a pool reserved for the owner. Guests get a generous boat with real design sense. The owner gets somewhere to swim that nobody else is using. From Palm Beach to Naples, it's the kind of detail that gets people talking along the docks, and every coast will tell it a little differently.
The machines on offer are classic motorcycles from Billy Joel's collection, and the list includes both Ducatis and Triumphs. The sale is set for November. That's the month the humidity finally lets up from Palm Beach to Naples and a ride down A1A or out along the Tamiami Trail starts to sound good again. Joel has won six Grammy Awards, so a lot of people know his music. Fewer know that he owned these bikes. Ducati is Italian and Triumph is British, and anyone who has stood in a parking lot on a Saturday morning can tell them apart without a badge. Miami will show up to see who's bidding, Palm Beach will act like it isn't watching, and Naples will already have a garage bay cleared. However it goes in November, the collection has been worth keeping an eye on.
Hudson Westbrook has released the running order for "Made You Look," his second full-length record, which arrives November 6. The song lineup is set more than a month before release, so listeners now know the shape of the album before they hear it. A second album shows whether an artist can build on a first, and in this town that question gets as much attention as any debut. For now, the songs are named, the order is fixed and the date is on the calendar.
Blake Whiten, who grew up in Six Mile, now has CAA booking his live dates around the world. For an artist, few pieces of paperwork say more: when an agency of that size takes over the calendar, the ambition behind the music has become a working plan. In a town that watches rosters as closely as it watches charts, Whiten's name now sits on one of the most closely watched lists in the business.
Emma Ogier has put her name to a deal with Lost Highway Records. The label says she made an impression on them right away, and in this town that matters as much as the signature. A record deal is the point where a label stops admiring an artist from a distance and commits to building something with her. Nashville will be paying attention to what Emma Ogier and Lost Highway make together.
Music Services, part of SESAC Music Group, has brought Nick LaPointe aboard at the senior director level. His is one of two new names the company announced in its leadership ranks this week. In a town where the business side of a song matters as much as the melody, a senior hire at a publishing and rights operation is news people on Music Row notice. We welcome Mr. LaPointe to his new post.
Brandi Carlile will spend November on the road with a pared-down three-piece show built entirely on requests, billed as "Burn The Setlist (The All Request Tour)." The idea is simple: there is no fixed running order, and the audience decides what she plays. In a town that knows a well-built setlist is a craft of its own, handing that choice to the seats is a confident move, and it only works when the catalog runs deep. Three players on a stage leave no place to hide, and that is exactly the appeal.
Architectural Digest's editors have tried out a range of pull-out sofas and named the fifteen they consider the best. Plenty of American houses have no spare bedroom, and the overnight visitor still needs somewhere good to sleep. A well-made sofa bed lets the living room do two jobs: a real place to sit during the day and a real bed at night. It is a small bit of planning, and in a well-run house, the planning is what guests remember.
Art Basel Miami Beach has released its exhibitor list for the coming fair, and it holds 272 names. In Miami, the fair is where many of the city's walls get filled, and a confirmed roster is the first solid look at what will be offered there. For anyone furnishing a house here, those 272 exhibitors mark out the market they will be buying from this season.
Uribe Schwarzkopf, the Ecuadorian developer known for its attention to design, has opened sales at WOMA, a project in Miami's Wynwood Norte that will combine homes with space for creative work. The company marked the start of sales with a gathering held with Surface, and figures from Miami's cultural scene came out for it. WOMA has not been built yet. For now it exists as plans and a sales office, and the party was its first public introduction. Wynwood Norte sits just north of the Wynwood that most people know by its walls. Anyone following new construction in Miami has had a reason to watch the neighborhood, and this project gives them one more. No pricing is on the record yet, and until it is, this page will not guess.
Jaipur Living's new CallaLuxe collection is meant to be as practical as it is beautiful. According to chief executive Asha Chaudhary, the handwork at its center, a craft some twenty-five centuries old, isn't what she wants to update. What she wants to modernize is everything around the loom, so the weaving itself can last. For an American house, that's a useful idea: the most lasting pieces in a room are often the ones that no one tried to reinvent.
Design professionals looking ahead to 2027 expect the most noticeable change to happen before a visitor even reaches the door. Their forecast names five ideas, and it starts with trees that already have some height and spread, along with lighting planned for the grounds after dark. For a Palm Beach villa or a shingled house in the Hamptons, that means paying the same attention to the view from the street, at dusk as much as at noon, that owners have long given to the rooms inside. The first impression of an American house, the experts suggest, is where next year's thinking begins.
A Beverly Hills residence once owned by Taylor Swift is on the market, with an asking price of $8 million. It is said to be the house where she worked on *1989*. For this desk, that is the real distinction. Many houses in Beverly Hills have well-known former owners, but very few can be tied, even by report, to a particular album. The $8 million figure is the list price, and the sale price is still to come. For a buyer, the address brings a little history: rooms that are said to have been part of the making of a record. We will report the result if a sale is recorded.
Search a map for the ranch at the heart of Yellowstone and you won't find it, because that ranch exists only on screen. The land the cameras actually filmed on is real, and it has an owner: Taylor Sheridan holds the property. So the house, the pastures and the long views that audiences have come to know as a fictional home are, off camera, his own ground.
Actor Bradley Whitford is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a short drive from Beverly Hills. The honor comes while he is back on a Broadway stage in New York in "A Few Good Men," working again with writer Aaron Sorkin. Whitford was cast in the play's first Broadway production in 1989. He said returning to the play and working with Sorkin again makes him feel as if he has gone back in time. The star adds his name to the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, while the stage run keeps his work in front of New York audiences.
Ynon Kreiz will take a leadership position at Paramount, the company led by David Ellison, after eight years as chief executive of Mattel, according to Variety. His move comes as Paramount nears completion of its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, which will bring the two studios under one company. Kreiz will serve in the combined organization under Ellison. The report did not give his title or a start date.
Ynon Kreiz, who has led Mattel as chief executive for eight years and is leaving that post, will take a senior position at Paramount under David Ellison, Variety reports. Paramount is close to completing its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, and Kreiz's role will be at the combined company. The report does not give his title or a start date. For Beverly Hills readers who follow the entertainment business, the appointment brings the head of a major toy company into the leadership of one of the industry's largest studio combinations.
CBS plans to bring "Undercover Boss" back to its schedule, and Drew Carey will host the new edition. The network has also ordered two more reality series, one of them called "Stacks of Cash." With the three orders, CBS is putting more of its schedule into unscripted programming. Premiere dates were not included in the announcement.
Funko will have a small run of Marvel figures at New York Comic Con this year, according to Variety. The collectibles maker will produce 500 units of one of them, a Doctor Doom figure that lights up. The figure shows the Marvel character as Sorcerer Supreme. It is priced at $100. The Doom figure is part of a larger group of Marvel pieces Funko plans to offer at the convention. For collectors in Beverly Hills who follow Marvel releases, the count of 500 puts it among the scarcer pieces of this convention season. New York Comic Con is held in Manhattan, where the figures will be available.
CBS is bringing "Undercover Boss" back, with Drew Carey hosting the new version. The network has also ordered two more reality series, "Stacks of Cash" and "24 Hour Millionaire." The announcement includes the host and the titles of both new series.
The Hollywood Reporter has published a list of 10 costumes drawn from this year's television and film, with Freaky Nikki and Dunk and Egg among the characters named. The publication also says where each costume can be ordered online. Beverly Hills residents planning outfits for Oct. 31 can use the list to choose a character and order the pieces ahead of the holiday.
Designer Sarah Flint has worked with Focus Features on a small line of clothing and footwear drawn from Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility." The pieces are made by hand. The footwear includes heels decorated with embroidery. The line arrives as the Dashwood sisters return in a new screen version of the novel.
Casey Bloys, the head of HBO, will control the streaming business of the combined Paramount-Warner Bros., according to Variety. Before the decision, people across the entertainment business had discussed whether the role would go to Bloys or to Paramount's Cindy Holland. Variety reports that Bloys knew he held the stronger position as the choice was being made. The appointment puts the streaming operations of two studios under one executive, and the entertainment industry in Los Angeles follows that business closely.
Alejandro G. Iñárritu has thanked Warner Bros. for committing to "Digger," the Tom Cruise film he directed, and described the studio's decision as a risk it chose to take. The director also said the film was first called "Blah, Blah, Blah" before it became "Digger." He did not say when the title changed or why.
Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman, who star together in "The Love Hypothesis," are reuniting as voice performers for "Olympus U," a new audio production from the romance platform Quinn. The story updates the Greek legend of the ruler of the underworld and the young goddess he loves for present-day listeners. The project was produced for Quinn and is not an adaptation of an existing work. For listeners here, the actors' second pairing will come through headphones rather than a movie screen.
Actor Christopher Chung told The Hollywood Reporter that when viewers tell him they cannot stand Roddy Ho, the technology specialist he plays at Slough House in the espionage series "Slow Horses," he takes it as praise. He said he is glad to be playing the part and hopes to keep playing it for a long time. His comments came as the sixth season of the series is released to viewers. Chung plays the team's computer expert, a character written to be hard to get along with, and he sees viewers' dislike of Roddy Ho as a sign the performance is working.
Variety has published an analysis arguing that Robert Pattinson is a different kind of screen lead than the one Tom Cruise has come to represent. The piece says Cruise has often been called the final example of the classic film star since "Top Gun: Maverick" was released, and it treats him as the benchmark for the role. The essay presents Pattinson as a counterpoint to that model. In Beverly Hills, how the film business defines its leading performers is a question close to home.
A new Variety essay makes the case that Robert Pattinson represents a different kind of film star. The piece contrasts him with Tom Cruise, who has often been described as the final example of the classic movie star in the years since "Top Gun: Maverick." Variety calls Cruise the benchmark for that tradition and presents Pattinson as someone who has taken a different route to the same standing. For readers in Beverly Hills, where the business of making stars has long been local business, the essay is a studio-town argument about what screen stardom can look like now.
Selma Blair has joined the cast of "Schmoolie The Deathwatcher," a film from Bridget Stokes, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film follows a young person growing up and has a mystical element. Theresa Burkhart Gallagher wrote the screenplay. Isaac Krasner plays Schmoolie, and the cast also includes Luenell, Ariel Martin and David Mazouz.
Hawaii's state flag stands apart from the other 49 because it carries the flag of a foreign nation within its own design. The reason is Hawaii's history: it was a sovereign country before it became part of the United States, and very few states can say that. Its flag keeps that earlier chapter in plain view, in a banner that still flies over an American state. Anyone who looks closely at flags as design objects will find few on the national map with a more layered story.
Each year one shade gets crowned, and anyone decorating a room ends up with the same question: how do you keep living with it once the announcement is old news? A group of interior designers has now set out their methods for working a trend color into a home so it settles in instead of dating the room. That matters to anyone furnishing a house in Palm Beach or an apartment in New York, because a well-made room is meant to last for years, not one season. The advice comes from people who design rooms for a living, and it treats a passing color as something to place with care rather than something to chase.
Bon Iver is marking a decade of "22, A Million" with an anniversary reissue of the 2016 record. The draw for collectors is the visual work: the album's densely layered artwork is by the designer Eric Timothy Carlson, who developed it hand in hand with the band rather than delivering a finished cover to them. The reissue also sets out to explain that imagery, which means the cover is being treated as a work to read closely, not just packaging. For anyone who keeps records for what is printed on them as much as what is pressed into them, a new edition like this brings an artist-designed object back into circulation.
Samsung screens now have LeRoy Neiman as their first featured artist. The Artists Rights Society has signed an agreement with the electronics company to put licensed art on its screens. Anyone who signs up gets 33 Neiman works. For now that is the whole program: one artist and a fixed set of 33 pieces, shown on a screen rather than as a canvas or print. For collectors, the notable part is what's being sold. Nothing is auctioned and no object changes hands. The rights group is licensing the right to show the images. Whether the screen hangs in a Palm Beach den or a Manhattan apartment, a Neiman can now go up on it.
Halle Berry has a new haircut: a short crop with a curtain fringe that parts at the center and falls toward the cheekbones. Harper's Bazaar calls it a graceful choice for women past fifty and a good fit for the cooler months. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, it looks like the cut many readers will bring to their stylists this autumn.
Anne Hathaway has settled this season's polish question with a deep black-cherry lacquer, a red that looks almost black until the light catches it. For anyone booking an appointment, the person behind her nails has named the precise bottle, so there's no guessing at the salon counter. It's a color that works as well with a black evening gown as with a camel coat on a New York sidewalk in October. Consider the autumn palette decided.
The idea is simple: denim with the easy feel of a sweatpant and the polish of a proper pair of jeans. Not everyone is sold on the hybrid, and we can see why, but the case for it is strong. On a Saturday errand run in Naples or a long travel day out of New York, it offers structure without the stiffness. Elle has pulled together a selection for readers ready to try it.
Pernille Teisbaek, Christine Centenera, Laura Harrier and Charlotte Gainsbourg have each set down their own guidelines for dressing entirely in black. They're four distinct eyes on the same subject, and the subject is the least forgiving color in the closet. A black-on-black look shows the craft: the cut, the fabric and the way one texture sits against another are all anyone has to look at. From a Manhattan sidewalk to a Beverly Hills dinner, that's the part we'll be watching when the color comes back to the front of the closet.
The Spanish firm that shapes the cork footbeds inside Birkenstocks is bringing a line of its own to America, starting with its smallest customers. Its children's shoes reach the United States in November. The company also wants more American stores to carry its name. For readers who have been standing on this company's cork for years without knowing its name, this is the season it steps out from under the buckle and onto the shelf.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be staged in Los Angeles. For a city that spends most of the year being photographed on carpets, it now gets a runway too, and one of fashion's best-known ones. The wire hasn't named a venue, a date, or a cast yet, so we'll wait to report those until they're confirmed. For now, the news is simply that the show is coming here.
Pharrell Williams, who leads menswear at Louis Vuitton, was recently seen in a sneaker nobody had seen before. Footwear News thinks it may be a follow-up to the Adidas Virginia Adistar Jellyfish, which would make it a V2. Nothing official has been announced, so for now it's an educated guess, and sneaker watchers from New York to Los Angeles are zooming in on the photos. When a menswear designer at his level steps out in a shoe that hasn't been released, the shoe is the story, and our archive has made room for it.
Pharrell Williams, who leads menswear at Louis Vuitton, was photographed recently in a pair of sneakers that had not appeared anywhere before. The question now is whether they are a follow-up to his Adidas Virginia Adistar Jellyfish. Nothing has been confirmed, so for now this is a sighting and not a launch. We are an archive that notes the designer, the year and the occasion, so we're recording it as an unidentified pair on a man who knows exactly what he is doing.
Dakota Johnson picked a Calvin Klein two-piece covered in shimmering fringe, and it pulls off something the American house doesn't often try: showmanship. The glitter catches light from every angle, and the fringe moves whenever she does, which is how you know a matching set was built for a stage. Paired as a set, the pieces read as one clean line with the drama left to the fringe, a very Calvin Klein way to do spectacle. It's the kind of look that gets a second bow.
Two Vans silhouettes are headed to the Los Angeles faithful. The high-top Sk8-Hi and the low-profile Era both arrive with a deliberately lived-in finish, so they look like they have already seen a full season of games. Both pairs release during the divisional series round, which puts them on the shelf just as the Dodgers begin their postseason push toward another World Series. It is a sensible bit of wardrobe planning for a city that dresses for the ballpark as seriously as it dresses for the carpet.
Vans has two Dodgers sneakers coming for Los Angeles fans who dress for the ballpark: a Sk8-Hi and an Era, both with a worn-in, deliberately roughed-up finish. They release during the divisional round of the postseason, which gives the city something new to wear while the team plays for another shot at the World Series. The Sk8-Hi is the high-top and the Era is the low-cut, so fans can pick either silhouette with the same weathered look. Buying brand-new shoes that already look well-loved is an odd idea in the best way, and it works well in the stands in October.
Before a lipstick gets anywhere near a red carpet, somebody had to choose it at a counter, and Beauty Barrage has now looked closely at that moment. The firm's newest report follows the beauty buyer from first glance to the register, marking where the path stalls and where it opens up. For readers who shop a beauty counter the way they'd approach a gown fitting, it's a reminder that how a product gets found matters as much as what's in the bottle. Whether you're browsing on Worth Avenue or on Rodeo Drive, the store floor is a runway of its own.
Carly Schuerger, a member of the 24th Godolphin Flying Start class, which runs from 2026 to 2028, has taken her turn in the program's series of trainee columns with a simple ask: make it easier for Americans who love the sport to actually see it. Her column, written as what she would change if she ran American racing for a single day, starts from the fan who wants to watch the horses run. It is a young horsewoman writing for the people who fill the rail and the grandstand, not for the people in the industry's boardrooms. Coming from someone early in her career, it reads as a plan for bringing more people to the track.
The "Champions Give Back" drive is back for another run in the weeks before the Breeders' Cup. For a full month, anyone with a stake in the championships can find a way to help Breeders' Cup Charities, whether they come to it from the grandstand, the shed row or a sponsor's table. It is a quieter part of the lead-up than works on the track and entries at the draw, and it is aimed at the whole community rather than only the people who own the horses. We cover it because generosity in racing belongs in the record just as much as the results do.
"Adnan being and time," Marie Valentine Regan's film about the artist Etel Adnan, was shown in the United States for the first time earlier this month at the Rockaway Film Festival in New York. Choosing Rockaway for the premiere put the film by the water, away from the city's main screening rooms. That's a fitting setting for a portrait of an artist whose ideas are still being studied. The film looks at how Adnan thought and at the body of work that remains in her name. For readers who follow how an artist's reputation holds up once the work is in other hands, the premiere was worth noting.
Sotheby's has presented the Blaquier collection, and a single Van Gogh with a $180 million figure attached leads the group. An advisor at the house said the auction world has not seen anything like it in many years, and the collection is already being called the best of the year. Collectors from Palm Beach to the Upper East Side will want to see how a group led by one painting at that level holds together from start to finish.
"Telenovela" is now open at the Americas Society in New York, and it stays up until March 27. The show takes the familiar conventions of the Latin American serial drama as its lens. It asks what those storytelling habits can reveal about the artwork gathered around them. For a city that measures its seasons in gallery openings, that is a welcome premise: the most popular form of television treated as something with real weight inside a serious exhibition space. Anyone planning their winter calendar in Manhattan has until late March to see it.
Northern California has a new recurring art event, and its first edition includes a collection few visitors will have seen before. Further, a triennial launching in the region, will open with a project by the artist Mark McCloud built around the printed paper sheets once used to carry acid. It is one of four exhibitions organized by Zully Adler, the triennial's director. For collectors, this is a small, printed kind of object, usually ignored, now being shown as art.
A single Vincent van Gogh landscape carries a $180 million expectation into an upcoming Sotheby's sale, where it leads the Blaquier-Arrieta collection of Impressionist and modern masterpieces. It is not the only record in play: the collection's leading Paul Cézanne could also top the best price that painter has ever made at auction. Two masters, one consignment, and a chance at both artists' records in the same evening. That is the fact collectors will be watching when the sale opens, and the numbers that matter most will come when the hammer falls.
Elle has published a guide that separates I-Beauty, K-Beauty and J-Beauty, three of the most talked-about movements in Asian beauty, and looks at the rituals, ingredients and beliefs behind each one. It's for anyone who has seen those prefixes on a shelf in Beverly Hills or a bathroom counter in Palm Beach and wondered what actually sets them apart. The guide treats each as its own school of thought, with its own approach to the daily routine, rather than as passing trends. That's a welcome kind of precision for readers who like to know the house, the season and the reasoning behind whatever they put on.
Larroudé and Nicoló Beretta have released their third collection together, and the curved heel the partnership is known for now comes in a shorter kitten height. It's the same sculpted arc, just closer to the ground, which is the height you want for a long lunch on Worth Avenue or an afternoon spent walking Madison. Three releases in, the shape hasn't changed at all. Only the height has.
Rothy's has chosen Jenna Renfrew, whose résumé includes both Target and Nike, as its new chief product and merchandising officer. In that role she will lead two jobs that shoppers rarely see from the outside: deciding what the brand makes, and deciding how those pieces are assembled, stocked and presented. She will answer directly to Dayna Quanbeck, the company's chief executive. Our archive usually records who wore what and when, but an appointment like this comes before all of that, because it shapes what ends up on the shelf in the first place.
WWD's editors put the most polished self-adhesive wallcoverings sold online through their paces, and named favorites for people whose lease won't let them commit. It's the logic of a good closet applied to the living room: a bold print goes up for a season and comes down cleanly when the mood changes, with no plaster patching and no awkward talk with the landlord. For a New York one-bedroom, or any home that is loved but not owned, that means an entryway, a bedroom wall or a small office corner can dress up without signing on for life. We keep an archive of what was worn and when, and we'll always cheer a room that gets to try on a new look.
Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson walked the "Verity" premiere on Tuesday evening in coordinating looks, one in black and one in white. Prabal Gurung and Calvin Klein made the clothes. Two houses and two stars stuck to one strict palette, and the pairing read as planned, not as a coincidence. For an archive that tracks who wore what, two leading ladies agreeing on the color scheme before the cameras start is worth noting.
Julius Juul, the designer behind Heliot Emil, has a new label, and this one is made for the long run. It's called 444, an activewear line made from natural materials, and he started it with Davide Maccari, a neuroscientist. It began with a practical question: while the two were training for ultra-distance races, they started asking how much man-made fiber they were wearing, mile after mile. For anyone who runs long miles on Colorado trails, it's a fair thing to wonder about before the next fitting.
With *The Odyssey* now behind her, Anne Hathaway's maternity wardrobe has become its own story. It runs in two directions: daytime pieces cut to sit low beneath her belly, and evening gowns made to her measure. Both approaches build the clothes around the bump, so she isn't left to make do with ordinary clothes. For readers from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills with a pregnancy on the calendar, that's the idea to take away: tailoring that fits the body as it is right now.
Before any red carpet or crowning moment comes the part nobody photographs: the jars, palettes and brushes that have to be found before they can be used. Steph Hon started Cadence in 2020 as a beauty organization brand to take on that quiet labor, the hidden effort of keeping a routine in order. The idea is that a routine is easier to keep when every piece already has its place. We cover what a look turns out to be, but we also admire how well it was prepared, and that preparation starts at the vanity.
Altuzarra has partnered with Old Navy on a collection made for the cooler months. The lineup runs from floral dresses to tartan coats, so it covers both the last warm afternoons and the first properly cold mornings. It's an unexpected pairing, and the pieces are more polished than you might expect from that name on the label. For an archive that tracks who wore what and when, this is one to note now and look for on the sidewalks from New York to Aspen once the weather turns.
Nike has a new racing flat for the archive, and it outdoes the model the brand only just introduced. The shoe is called the Apex, and it layers two Air cushions, one on top of the other. By Nike's measure, it gives back 40 percent more of a runner's energy than the Alphafly 3. The Alphafly 4 improved on that same older model by 10 percent, so the Apex claims four times that gain. At a moment when sneakers get a second look on Fifth Avenue as often as on the course, a sole built in two stories is a detail our readers will notice.
Nike has a new name for the archive. The Apex has two layers of Air cushioning stacked one on top of the other, and Nike measures it against the Alphafly 3. By that measure, the Apex gives a runner back 40 percent more of each stride's effort than the older shoe did. The Alphafly 4, Nike's own more recent model, improved on that same baseline by 10 percent. On the same yardstick, the newcomer's gain is four times larger than its sibling's. A desk that keeps track of who wore what and when treats a well-built running shoe as a piece of design like any gown, and here the craft is in the build underfoot, where the doubled cushioning does the work. From the Palm Beach bridges to the loop in Central Park, readers who log their miles before breakfast will know exactly what that extra spring is worth.
In a personal essay for Vogue, a writer explains the choice to marry on the day they turn forty, and invites readers to picture a bride whose face shows every year that brought them to the altar. The essay takes on the dewy, ageless image the bridal world usually asks a woman to present, and quietly sets it aside. For an archive that tracks what was worn, when and by whom, it's a welcome reminder that the date on a wedding photograph belongs to the person in it, not just the dress. Forty years of living, framed in white: that's a portrait worth keeping.
Harper's Bazaar has put together eight ways to give your own home the feel of a luxury hotel, drawn from favorites at 1 Hotels. You don't have to book anything or wait for a room key; the idea is that the hotel's comforts can come to you. We usually track who wore what, and when. This time the question is what you keep at home, and how a well-run hotel can shape that. It's a good reminder that taste doesn't only show up on a red carpet or on the night of a crown.
Anne Hathaway, now expecting, went out for the evening in a Prabal Gurung gown made to catch the light. For the archive, the entry is simple: the actress, the designer, a full evening skirt, and a mother-to-be wearing it. Dressing for a pregnancy is often steered toward the practical, but this was a real evening gown, sparkle included. For readers from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills who are planning their own evenings out while expecting, the lesson is clear: the big skirt doesn't have to wait.
The Champagne Stakes has its 2026 edition, and it belongs to New York. It is one of the state's stakes races, and a field of New York stakes is a fixture of the fall season our readers follow closely. For now there is only the name and the year: no field, trainers or post time have been announced. We will give the horses, their sires and their connections the attention they deserve once they are known.
For anyone who plans a trip around the calendar of the sport, the working document is now public. The day-by-day program for the Global Symposium on Racing, holding its 52nd edition this year, can be read in full at RacingSymposium.com. Those making the trip can now see how each of the three days is laid out before they arrive. A gathering that has reached a fifty-second year has settled into the rhythm of the racing calendar, and readers who follow the business of the turf will want to read the program closely and mark the sessions they plan to attend.
Fasig-Tipton has set 208 horses in its primary book for the November Sale, which runs Nov. 2 in Lexington. The sale is one session long, and the first horse enters the ring at 2 p.m. That schedule sets the pace of the day: every one of the 208 will be offered in a single afternoon, one after another, until the book is done. Nobody holds a horse back for a second day, and no one comes back tomorrow for what's left. For buyers and consignors, that means the whole market for this catalog comes together in one room over a few hours. Anyone following the hammer will see the complete sale from first lot to last without a break. Fasig-Tipton has chosen a deliberately small format for the day, and a list of 208 is sized to match it. Lexington holds the sale, and the ring opens at 2 p.m. on Nov. 2.
Among the 33 Stradale commissions, this one is named Perla Nera, and its signature is exposed carbon fiber on the body and throughout the cabin. The choice puts the material's own texture in the place where color would usually go. For collectors who follow bespoke Alfa Romeo work, the car shows how far one specification can shape a modern Stradale's character, from the first look at the bodywork to the view from the driver's seat.
Plenty of households in Palm Beach and Naples run on two calendars, one for the water and one for the mountains, and Aspen has long answered for the second. The address now on the market there was once home to Rupert Murdoch. It sits on two acres inside Starwood, a gated enclave known for keeping its residents' privacy. The asking price is $29.8 million. In Florida terms, two acres behind a gate is a rare kind of room, the sort a Naples buyer would call sensible and a Palm Beach buyer would call a good start. For the reader who already knows which season belongs to which coast, this is a mountain property with a notable name in its past and plenty of ground around it.
A new high jewelry collection has been made to be studied as much as worn. Each piece carries its own emblems and motifs, set alongside gemstones chosen to support them. For a collector on the island, that changes the first viewing: you look for meaning before you look at carats. It is a collection for someone who likes to know what a piece is saying before deciding to wear it.
Town & Country has put together its October picks: the films, television, exhibitions, plays, and books it thinks are worth your time this month. There is more on offer than anyone could get through, so the list does the choosing. It's worth keeping on hand for the quiet evenings on the North End before the calendar gets crowded, and for the flight north if you have one booked. Read it with coffee and circle a few before the invitations start coming in.
Town & Country has picked its favorite room at Fasano Fifth Avenue. The hotel sits on the Upper East Side, and the magazine's case for this room is that it doesn't feel like a hotel room. It feels like a small apartment of your own, with Central Park laid out below the windows. Most of us keep a list of places in town that work between the island and the next engagement uptown, and this sounds like one for the list. Waking to the park from Fifth Avenue is about as good a New York morning as there is. A room that manages to feel like home in that setting has done its job well.
The CMA has released this year's list of International Award recipients. It's a short announcement, and it matters in this city, where the business of country music is run from offices a few blocks from the studios. The awards carry the word "international" in their name, and the list is how a Nashville institution says whose work it wants on the record this year. The announcement stops at the honors themselves.
The Nashville Early Education Coalition has set aside $400,000 for a new scholarship fund, and it goes to the people who spend their working days with the city's youngest children. The money is meant to pay part of what those teachers and caregivers spend to have their own children looked after. It's a trial run, a first version of the idea put out to see how it works. The logic is simple. The people who help a city's children get a good start shouldn't have to wonder who is minding their own. It's a quiet sort of generosity, the kind that goes to people who usually do the looking after. Anyone who has handed a toddler to a patient teacher at the classroom door will see why it matters.
The Nashville Symphony has a new chief executive: Mark Tillinger now leads the orchestra. In a city that usually hears its talent through a guitar amp, the symphony holds its own seat at the table, and whoever runs it is looking after one of Nashville's great civic instruments. The job is the business side of the music, the work that keeps the stage lit and the chairs filled, so the players can do what they came to do. Nashville will be watching, with high expectations, to see where he takes it.
5-Hour Energy is reintroducing its pumpkin spice flavor, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The product combines the brand's energy shot with a flavor more often found in coffee drinks. When it first came out last year, it drew wide attention on social media, the publication reported. The company is now releasing it again, its second time on the market.
Tom Cruise appeared before a capacity audience at a screening of "Digger" at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film pairs the actor with Alejandro G. Iñárritu, the director who has won an Oscar. Speaking to the crowd, Cruise said he had found success from a young age. The Hollywood Reporter described the new film as the actor's riskiest undertaking to date. The screening took place inside the Academy's own museum, the institution's showcase for the history of motion pictures. For an audience in the city where much of the film industry works, it was a chance to hear from a leading actor and an Academy Award-winning filmmaker in the same room.
Actor and producer Ryan Kwanten has signed with Rain for management, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Kwanten, who is from Australia, is most widely recognized for his role on the HBO series "True Blood." The report did not say which projects the new arrangement will cover. For readers in Beverly Hills, where many careers in film and television are managed, the signing marks a new chapter in Kwanten's professional representation.
Director Danny Boyle says a third installment of the "28 Years Later" series will be produced, according to Variety Film. He told the publication that continued questions from audiences are the reason the project will go forward. Boyle said the film's final title has not been settled, and he did not give a date for production or release. He said Cillian Murphy will have a substantial part in the new film. In the same remarks, Boyle named Jack O'Connell as his choice to play James Bond.
Director Danny Boyle has said that a third film in the "28 Years Later" series is going ahead, and he credited the steady flow of questions from audiences as the reason. According to Variety, Boyle said the film's title is not yet settled and that he does not know when production will take place. He said Cillian Murphy will have a large role in the film. Boyle also said he supports Jack O'Connell as a choice to play James Bond.
"Remain," the new film from director M. Night Shyamalan, opens in theaters on Feb. 5, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Jake Gyllenhaal leads the cast. Novelist Nicholas Sparks shares screenwriting credit on the film, which deals with the supernatural. The trade publication has gathered early responses to the picture, which come several months before audiences in Beverly Hills and elsewhere can buy tickets.
Dickies has joined forces with Pull&Bear on a small collection for both men and women, and the premise is a history lesson you can wear. The line follows the working wardrobe from clothes built for labor to clothes built for the street. In other words, it charts how the uniform of the shift became the uniform of the weekend. Anyone who has watched a pair of sturdy work trousers turn up on a lower Manhattan corner, worn by someone who has never punched a clock, will recognize the path this collection is mapping.
When French fashion started making clothes off the rack, it had help from garment makers in the United States. That's the whole story on file, and it's worth a moment on our archive shelf. Behind the famous French names and the idea of French elegance, American factories helped make prêt-à-porter ready for customers everywhere. For readers who care about who made a garment as much as whose name is on it, that's a very good piece of provenance.
Dickies and Pull&Bear have made a joint line that follows workwear from its working roots to the clothes people now wear on the street. It's cut for both men and women. The line tells that story itself, starting with garments built for a shift and ending with pieces made for the pavement. From the Hamptons to Beverly Hills, readers will know the idea: hard-wearing clothes made for labor that became part of everyday style.
Ralph Lauren has announced PoloFest, a new festival built around the sport the house has long borrowed its name from. The announcement covers the whole world around the game, not only the matches: the clothes, the crowd and the ritual of an afternoon at the field. In a town where Sunday polo is already a standing appointment, readers will want to know when the name on the pony-embroidered shirt finally gets its own gathering. We'll be watching which blazers, boaters and white jeans turn up once the gates open.
David Beckham has signed his name to a new fall line for Boss, and he took his cue from home: the long, damp months of a British winter. That is a practical brief as well as a sentimental one, because no season tests a coat, a knit or a sturdy boot the way a cold, wet island does. For readers packing for Aspen or bracing for January in New York, clothes designed for that kind of weather are an easy sell. We'll be watching for them on this side of the Atlantic.
Levi's and Sacai have teamed up for a third time, and this collection plays with scale. The cuts are oversized, and the details show up where you wouldn't expect them, so the basic jean and jacket start to look like new designs. Both labels have now come back to the same fabric three times and still found something new in it. It works as well on a Palm Beach Saturday as on a New York weekday, and the jeans are the first thing people will notice.
The most formal line an invitation can carry asks more of a guest than simply a good dress, and Vogue has gathered 24 gowns that meet it. A stylist who works with brides explains what the occasion actually requires, so the rules come before the shopping. For readers in Palm Beach, New York and the Hamptons, it is an edit worth saving before the next envelope of that kind arrives. White tie rewards the guest who gets the details right, and this is a sensible place to start.
For the New York premiere of *Verity*, Dakota Johnson traded the soft-focus mouth for a lip with sharp, deliberate edges. It was a change of season done on the face, and it felt rich without being fussy. The contour is what makes it work: the color stops where it's meant to, so nothing looks smudged or left to chance. On a red carpet where every look is photographed up close, that kind of control stands out. Consider it an early sign that fall beauty in New York may favor crisp edges.
The California yearling market gets its day on Wednesday at Fairplex in Pomona, where Fasig-Tipton opens its California Fall Yearlings Sale at 11 a.m. Pacific. The catalog lists 293 yearlings, and all of them will be offered in one session that day. That gives buyers a single day to find what they came for. For Los Angeles readers, the sale is close to home, just east of the city in the San Gabriel Valley, at the fairgrounds they already know. Every horse in the catalog is a yearling that has not yet raced, so buyers will be judging each one on conformation, walk and pedigree page. With 293 lots scheduled for one day, the auctioneer will keep a steady pace from the late-morning start. Wednesday in Pomona is when California's newest crop of racing prospects meets its first buyers.
Kentucky's Thoroughbred racing moves between five tracks, and for several seasons that circuit has followed much the same schedule from year to year. The 2027 calendar will test that routine. Labor Day falls later next year, and the change in dates could push some of the state's race meets up against one another. On a circuit used to a settled rotation, the work now is fitting five tracks' seasons around a holiday that arrives later than usual. Arranging the dates is a quiet part of the sport, but in Kentucky it is where every season on the track starts.
The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company has added 60 more yearlings to its 2026 October Yearling Sale. The sale runs over two days, October 6 and 7, in Florida, about a week from now. For buyers already working through the catalog, that means 60 new pages to read before the first hip reaches the ring. Late additions like these are called supplements: yearlings entered after the main catalog closed, which buyers will see for the first time in the days before the sale. For a Florida sale, the timing gives consignors one more chance to bring a yearling to market and gives shoppers one more set of pedigrees to study. Every hip in the ring on October 6 and 7 will be judged on conformation, walk and page, however late it joined the book. The supplemental horses have been added to a sale that is already set on the calendar.
VideoThe eFlyer 2 has flown. It is Bye Aerospace's two-seat trainer, and it runs on electric power alone. The flight came after the FAA gave its approval this month, and the aircraft is now in th
The Federal Aviation Administration used a recent agency gathering to explore how money from outside investors could add to the public dollars that normally pay for building and improving airports. For owners, the question is what that might mean for the fields where they base, fuel and hangar their aircraft. From Palm Beach to Aspen, construction at a general aviation airport shapes an owner's week in concrete ways, from a closed taxiway to a longer wait for hangar space. The agency is still discussing the idea, and anyone whose tail number is painted on a hangar door has reason to keep an eye on it.
The eFlyer 2 has flown. It is Bye Aerospace's two-seat trainer, and it runs on electric power alone. The flight came after the FAA gave its approval this month, and the aircraft is now in the test program that any new airframe has to complete before owners can judge it. For anyone who has paid for a primary student's hours in avgas, an electric trainer that is actually flying is worth watching closely, even at this early stage.
Will Bundy has joined Back Blocks Music, bringing songwriting and production work that has already won awards. In a town that keeps score in credits and not in headlines, a signing like this travels quietly from one writing room to the next. It puts a proven talent together with a company that chose to make the addition, which is the kind of well-made match Nashville was built on.
Parker McCollum used the final stop of his tour, at Doggett, to surprise Vincent Mason. The last night of a run belongs to the headliner, and McCollum spent part of it on a gesture aimed at another artist. In Green Hills, where much of the industry lives, people notice when an artist makes room for someone else. It is one line in the trade columns, and it shows the kind of generosity between artists this town respects.
Every ticket to Miranda Lambert's show at The Truth is already spoken for, and it was only ever booked for a single night. Anyone who missed out now has another way in. Amazon Music will stream the performance as part of its Songline Live series, so people far from the front row can watch too. A sold-out room usually stays closed to everyone outside it. This time a lot more people get to see it. In a town that knows the difference between a big room and a good one, a show like this gets remembered by the people who had tickets. Now everyone else can see it for themselves.
Columbus has a date on the calendar: Buckeye Country Superfest is coming back to Ohio Stadium on July 10, 2027, and the lineup is now public. Chris Stapleton is the name at the front of the announcement. That puts one of the most admired voices in country music inside one of the largest college football stadiums in the country, on a Saturday in the middle of summer. For anyone who plans their summer around the right show, it's the kind of news worth marking in ink this far ahead. A stadium this size filled with country fans, with Stapleton at the front of the bill, is a sign of how far this music now reaches from Music Row. Nashville will be watching from about four hundred miles south, and more than a few of its people will likely make the drive.
John Morgan has booked ten more shows for the autumn, and at every one of them he is the headliner. The first of them is on Nov. 12. Ten nights is a real stretch of the calendar: ten stages, ten crowds, and each of them there to see him. Green Hills pays attention to this kind of news, because a new run of dates is how a career becomes visible on a map. The dates are set, and the first one comes in November.
An electric-blue Bugatti Veyron has sold at auction for $5.4 million, the highest price ever paid for the model. The previous top sale for a Veyron was less than half that figure. The Veyron was the car that started Bugatti's modern era of hypercars, and this result shows how highly collectors now value that first chapter. In Miami, a blue like this would stop traffic on Collins Avenue. In Palm Beach, it would be admired quietly. In Naples, it would be kept in a climate-controlled garage and taken out on Sunday mornings.
A Frank Lloyd Wright house is on the market for $2.1 million. It isn't in Palm Beach, Naples or anywhere else you'd expect. It's the Samuel Eppstein Residence, outside Kalamazoo, Michigan, and it was built in 1953. Down here, people tend to treat architecture as a local matter. Palm Beach has its Mizner arches, Miami has its Deco, and Naples keeps its good taste to itself. A name like Wright's travels, though, and it holds its value in any state. Kalamazoo is a long way from the Gulf, but a buyer who cares about who designed the house will make the trip. The house has lasted more than seventy years and is now ready for its next owner.
The 54Metri is now the biggest boat Riva has built. It runs past 180 feet and carries the yard's familiar look up into superyacht size. Guests get four cabins of their own. The owner's stateroom sits on the main deck and runs from one side of the hull to the other, which is the detail owners will care about most at this length. At the stern there is a large beach club, the part of the boat meant for time on and in the water. For owners who know the name from Riva's smaller boats, the 54Metri shows that design language at a scale the yard hasn't built before.
Bye Aerospace's eFlyer 2 has now flown. It is a training aircraft that runs on electric power alone. The first flight opens its test campaign and comes only weeks after the Federal Aviation Administration gave its approval, in the same month. Owners who have watched programs stall between paperwork and the runway will note the order here: the regulator signed off first, and then the airplane went up.
Next summer's country calendar already has one date on it. Buckeye Country Superfest is coming back to Ohio Stadium in Columbus on July 10, 2027, and the organizers have now announced who will play. Chris Stapleton is among the names. In Nashville we watch country music go out on the road for a living, and a college football stadium in Ohio is one of the largest rooms it plays. Ohio Stadium is built for autumn Saturdays, but on a July night it will hold a country audience instead. The date is more than nine months away, so anyone who plans their summers early has time to book the trip now.
John Morgan is going out as the headliner, and he's doing it ten times. He has added ten dates to his calendar for the back half of the year, and at each one his name is the one at the top of the bill. The first of them falls on November 12. Being the headliner means the lights, the closing set and the crowd that bought tickets are all his. Ten nights of that is a real commitment for an artist, and it's a good sign when the dates keep going on the calendar. The first ticket holders will find out what he does with it in mid-November.
A midcentury house in San Francisco is on the market at $4.5 million, and it comes with an unusual line on the fact sheet: California Governor Gavin Newsom lived there in his first years. In Naples, a price like that buys a quiet street and a view of the Gulf. In Palm Beach, it might get you started on a conversation. Here it buys a house from the middle of the last century, and a small part of a public figure's early life. For readers who follow midcentury design from the other coast, the house deserves a look on its own terms.
Christie's will handle the photography collection of interior designer Vicente Wolf. It brings together Man Ray, Lee Miller, Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon, among other photographers. People who follow the salerooms usually know Wolf for rooms, and here he is known for the pictures he chose to live with. The house has not yet given a sale date, estimates or the full list of works, and we will not guess at any of them.
Chicago Exhibition Week has come back for its fourth outing, opening upward of 150 exhibitions across the city. That is a lot of new work arriving at once, and for anyone who follows what galleries are showing and who is buying, it gives a wide view of the city's art calendar. Many of the shows are still up after the opening week, so collectors and visitors who missed the start can still see them in person. For a publication that follows American collecting, a gallery calendar this full in a major American city is worth noting as a measure of how much new work is looking for new homes.
Christine Sun Kim, Rodney McMillian and Vincent Valdez are among this year's MacArthur fellows, the award better known as the "genius" grant. Each artist will get $800,000, and none of it comes with conditions on how it is spent. That kind of money does not require a proposal or a report and is not tied to a particular piece of work. Collectors are used to money moving toward art through a sale, a commission or a paddle raised in a salesroom. This money goes to the artists themselves, not to any one object. For readers who follow what changes hands, that is worth noticing. It is an honor for three careers, with the full sum left to each artist's judgment.
Matthew Barney's River of Fundament will be shown in Chelsea on November 14, and the evening will run eight hours. The venue is the Masonic Hall, which puts the film inside a Manhattan lodge rather than a gallery or a theater. For anyone who follows Barney, this is a rare chance to watch the work from beginning to end in one room, without splitting it across visits. Eight hours is a real commitment, and people who come will be making a day of it. Chelsea is New York's gallery district, which makes it a natural setting, but here the room people will sit in is a Masonic hall. On November 14, River of Fundament will take the whole evening, and it deserves to be seen that way.
It was first made for hunters in Maine who needed their feet dry, and it has since become a standard piece of weatherproof footwear in closets across the country. For a North End household, it belongs by the door with the umbrellas, ready for the afternoon a squall comes across the island. It was built to be practical, and that is why it has lasted.
Tonight, one of Los Angeles's best-known stages becomes a canvas. The artist Lauren Halsey is building an environment across the Hollywood Bowl grounds, and Erykah Badu headlines the concert inside it. Halsey said she wanted to take the familiar venue, rework it, and flip the audience's expectations of it. For anyone who follows where contemporary art turns up in this city, the Bowl is one of the season's most unusual stages for it.
BMW's 3 Series begins a new generation with the 2027 model year, and the car it replaces, the 2026, is now the last of its line. Car and Driver has set the two side by side and compared them spec for spec, on paper rather than on the road. That makes 2026 a year worth writing down for any owner keeping a garage log or a collector's file. The data sheet is where a well-kept 3 Series first shows which generation it belongs to, whether it lives in a Naples driveway or a Colorado garage.
Road & Track has titled Volume 37 "Nowhere," and the name sums up the idea: a volume about driving for its own sake rather than to get somewhere. It covers three subjects: the cars we trust to take us out, the places that leave a mark on whoever passes through them, and the unplanned turns that often become the best part of a trip. Owners who keep a car ready for the long way home will know the feeling, whether that road is a two-lane climb out of Aspen or a coast road south of Naples.
The interior designer Vicente Wolf is sending his photography collection to Christie's. It includes pictures by Man Ray and Lee Miller, Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon, along with other photographers. Wolf's profession is deciding what belongs in a room, and this sale shows the photographs he picked for himself. For collectors, the appeal is seeing major names of the medium brought together by one designer's taste.
Netflix is adding a group of horror titles to its catalog as Halloween approaches, Variety reports. The additions include classic films, among them "Dracula." Subscribers in Beverly Hills can watch the new titles at home through the service this month. Variety's list covers what the platform is adding in October 2026.
A stay under someone else's roof comes with a code nobody writes down, and that code in an American house isn't the same as in a British one. Elle Decor has compared the two traditions, from whether shoes come off at the door to when it's time to say goodbye. For anyone opening a house in Palm Beach or the Hamptons to guests this season, it's a useful reminder that good manners depend partly on where you are. A well-kept guest room is half of hospitality, and the guest brings the other half.
The Los Angeles estate linked to the name of Cecil B. DeMille has sold, and the price is on the record: $24.75 million. The seller was Angelina Jolie. The house runs to about 11,000 square feet, which makes it a real estate, not a hillside cottage. From the property, the view takes in the hills above Hollywood, with the Griffith Observatory standing out on its ridge. Few Los Angeles addresses can offer a view like that, with the city's best-known landmarks in sight from home. An estate carrying the DeMille name also belongs to the city's architectural record, and that is why this desk follows it. Every time a house like this is sold, its place in that record is confirmed again, and the recorded price shows what Los Angeles will pay for that kind of history.
Frank Lloyd Wright put hundreds of houses into the world, and each one still needs someone to live in it. Architectural Digest asked ten people who own his houses what that is actually like, and they answered frankly. For readers who follow the market, this is the part that never shows up in a listing: owning a Wright house means living inside the architect's plan every day. No sale is on the record here, and we won't guess at one; the story is about the owners.
Jordan Slocum and Barry Bordelon have turned a carriage house in Brooklyn into their workplace. The building now also brings people together, which the pair had not fully planned for when they took it on. A carriage house was built for horses and carriages on the ground floor, so a working office inside one gives an old service building a new job on a New York block. No sale price has been reported, and we won't guess at one.
Architectural Digest has pulled together the houses Justin Verlander and Kate Upton have owned as a couple, showing where the pitcher, now retired, and the model have chosen to live. The piece treats them as homeowners, a side of the pair that box scores and magazine covers don't show. For a desk that follows the American house, the list is worth reading because the rooms two people choose together say a good deal about their taste. The account we received names no address, architect or sale price, and we won't guess at any of them.
Before Amazon's Prime Day arrives, the editors at Architectural Digest have put together a short list of discounted pieces from their own kitchens, all priced under $100. The list is made of small, everyday tools: grinders for pepper, timers for the stove, and flatware finished in tortoiseshell. Nothing on it is a centerpiece, but these are the things a guest actually picks up and uses when they sit at the table. In a well-kept house, the small pieces get the same care as the big ones.
Decorators say this Halloween's front halls and parlors will look back to the Victorian era, with dark, formal touches and the drama of an old family home. Artificial cobwebs are also on their short list for the season, draped where real ones would never be allowed to stay. The forecast runs to seven looks in all, a sign that the holiday now gets the same design attention as the dinner table in December. For a house with good bones, from a Palm Beach Mediterranean to a Hamptons shingle cottage, October is one more occasion to show them off.
Elle Decor has picked ten wall sconces that run off an ordinary outlet, so a room can gain light at eye level without anyone cutting into plaster. The idea is simple: the fixture hangs on the wall, and the cord runs down to a socket that is already there. For readers who would rather not light a room from the ceiling, that means a softer, lower glow in a living room or beside a bed, with no wiring work behind the finish. In an older house where the walls are part of the reason you bought it, a fix that leaves them untouched is worth knowing about.
Architectural Digest has published its 2026 guide to throw pillows. Its premise is simple: a major purchase for the house isn't finished until it's properly dressed. Anyone who has walked through a well-kept house in Palm Beach or the Hamptons will know the idea. The big decisions set the room, and the small ones show that someone cared how it would feel to sit there. It's the same patience that goes into buying a house: a serious piece is bought to last, and the cushion beside it is what makes it look chosen with care.
Architectural Digest has put together a list of fourteen hotels across Upstate New York and the wider Northeast, picked for the weeks when the leaves turn. The list is built around where to stay while the hillsides change color, which makes the hotel part of the trip and not just a place to sleep. For New York readers, this is autumn close to home, a drive north instead of a flight. It's a short guide to a fall weekend where the room and the view outside it matter equally.
In a large Brooklyn home, a couple has had plywood wainscoting run along walls that came with nothing to say for themselves, and the rooms now read as their own. They hired Somerset House for the work. Plywood rarely gets a starring role in a New York interior, which is why its use here stands out. Paneling on the lower part of a wall adds texture, grain and a sense of craft to a room that would otherwise be plain drywall, and it does so with a modest material.
Kyle MacLachlan's memoir, *Fictional Selves*, says he did not originally want to play Trey MacDougal in *Sex and the City*: he had hoped to be cast as Mr. Big. It was his wife who talked him into the Park Avenue husband, and he says he went along with some reluctance. It was a sound piece of advice, since that is the part audiences still know him for.
Alejandro González Iñárritu has directed Tom Cruise in "Digger," and Vanity Fair considers it the most engaging film of Cruise's past decade and a half. For a star whose name has sold tickets on every marquee in the country, that stands out. The film pairs one of the most celebrated directors working today with one of cinema's most durable leading men, and the critics are taking it seriously. It will be worth talking about at dinner this season.
Lola is a new AI travel assistant from Booking Holdings, and it comes from the people who co-founded Kayak. Rather than splitting a journey across several tools, it gives the traveler one assistant, designed fresh for the job. It runs on a paid membership, and members can reach real people for concierge help as well as the software. For a reader planning around a good room and a good table, it is worth knowing that one of travel's biggest companies has decided the trip still deserves a person on the other end.
At Skift Global Forum 2026, the executives who shape how Americans travel gathered together and committed to the future of the people they serve. They were looking years ahead, at a guest whose tastes and expectations keep shifting. Seen side by side, their strategies had a great deal in common. For anyone who judges a trip by where they sleep and where they sit down to dinner, it's a welcome sign that the industry is putting the guest at the center of its plans.
Skift is gathering a panel of hospitality figures for an online session on a question every good hotel will have to answer soon: what happens when a traveler asks artificial intelligence where to stay, then lets it help make the reservation. The discussion will look at how guests are turning to these tools, and how far they are willing to rely on what the tools tell them. It will also argue that what a hotel says about itself, stated correctly and kept current, now counts with a new kind of reader. For the well-run properties our readers know, from the Florida coast to the Colorado high country, that is an old habit of good hospitality in a new setting: get the details right.
Ford is bringing two-color paint back to the pickup truck in 2026. The inspiration comes from trucks of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, when a pickup could wear two paint colors instead of one. If you keep a truck from one of those decades, the new paint will feel familiar when it shows up in dealer lots and driveways from Florida to Colorado.
The name is Italian, and it describes the car: Codalunga means long tail. The figure attached to this Pagani is $14.5 million. Even by the standards of a marque whose cars already read as sculpture, the Codalunga holds the eye longer than most. What makes it interesting to anyone who owns or collects is that it doesn't stay parked. The Drive saw it driven hard on a mountain road, and that is a strange thing to watch in a car shaped this carefully. For readers from Palm Beach to Aspen, that tension is the story: a coupe with the finish of a gallery piece that is still built to be driven in earnest.
Rivian will add Teen Mode and Valet Mode to its vehicles in early 2027, according to the company's head of software. The reason is simple: a young driver doesn't need a four-figure horsepower rating or the most serious off-road settings. For families from Aspen to Naples, that means the vehicle can be handed over with limits already in place.
Mangoal is now selling its dashboard cameras in the United States. Each camera sits in a housing shaped for a particular car, and the company offers them for upward of 300 models. The idea is that the camera should look like part of the car's original design rather than something added later. That matters to owners who care about a cabin they have kept correct, from a garage in Palm Beach to a carport in Aspen.
Christian Lundgaard, who finished third in IndyCar, will now drive for Chip Ganassi Racing. Of the seven IndyCar championships decided so far in the 2020s, Ganassi has won six. That record makes this one of the strongest seats in American open-wheel racing, and Lundgaard has earned it with a podium-level result. For readers who follow the American series closely, this is a signing worth marking down.
Porsche has made its Classic Communication Management Plus unit available for Boxster, Cayman and 911 cars from the 2009 through 2016 model years. The system brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the dash, along with other features. For an owner in Naples or Aspen who has kept one of these cars rather than trade it in, that means phone navigation and music on the car's own screen, with no cable across the console. The unit comes from the Porsche Classic program, so this is the factory's own answer for these cars, not an aftermarket workaround.
Nissan has set 2030 as its target for offering a deep bench of gas-electric models to American buyers, and the new Rogue Hybrid comes first. For owners who tow, haul or head off pavement, the bigger news is further along: the company is developing a V-6 powertrain with hybrid assistance for a family of tough pickups and sport-utility vehicles. That pairs the six-cylinder layout this segment has long relied on with an electric partner, instead of asking truck buyers to settle for less engine. It is a plan built for the American driveway, and we will be watching as it moves from engineering work to the showroom floor.
Porsche has widened its own in-dash upgrade so that it now fits the 911, Cayman and Boxster from the 2009 through 2016 model years, and that upgrade brings Apple CarPlay. Because the part comes from the maker, owners who have kept their car's cabin original no longer have to choose between a modern phone connection and a dash that looks right. For anyone driving one of these cars along the Gulf shore in Naples or up the canyon roads above Los Angeles, it means a car they already love gains a feature they reach for every day. The cars stay as they are, and only the screen in the center of the dash gets newer.
BMW's next 3-Series belongs to the G50 generation and arrives for model year 2027 looking very much like the electric i3 it is related to. You can see the family resemblance at first glance. It stops at the bodywork, though, because the two cars are built differently underneath. For readers who keep a sport sedan for the sound and feel of a gasoline engine, the model to watch is the M350. It is a hybrid, and its B58 engine makes more than 400 horsepower on combustion alone, before the electric side is counted. So the new generation takes its look from BMW's electric car while the M350 still runs on a gasoline engine.
For anyone who has owned a 3 Series, the first thing to learn about a new generation is where you will sit. The 2027 car, the eighth generation of BMW's compact four-door, has now been photographed inside from all sides, so the whole cabin can be seen before anyone gets in. We have not driven it, and these pictures are all there is so far: a first look, not a verdict. For readers in Naples, Nashville and Aspen, it is the first chance to judge the car from the inside.
BMW has shown the 2027 3 Series, the model's eighth generation. The new car is described as moving forward while keeping its ties to the cars that came before it. For anyone with an earlier 3 Series in the garage, that is the part worth noting: the new generation is meant to join the family, not break from it.
BMW's new 3 Series for the 2027 model year has now been photographed in full from the outside, and it is the gas-engined version. For owners who have kept a 3 Series in the garage in Palm Beach, Nashville or Aspen, this is the first full look at the car that follows theirs. Photographs are all there is so far; we have not driven it, and this page will not guess at anything the images leave out.
BMW's 3-Series begins a new generation with the 2027 model year, and Car and Driver has set the new sedan's published specifications beside those of the 2026 car it replaces. The comparison covers the whole sheet, from the figures buyers shop by to finer measurements few owners will ever look up. For anyone who drives the current car, it shows plainly what BMW changed and what carries over. It compares specifications only and does not cover time behind the wheel.
Road & Track's Volume 37 carries a one-word title: Nowhere. The theme is the drive itself: the cars that do the carrying, the places that change the people passing through, and the unplanned turns that often become the best part of a trip. For owners who judge a good car by where it can take them, not where it sits in the garage, that's a subject worth an entire volume. Anyone who has taken a well-kept car down an empty Colorado two-lane with nowhere in particular to be will understand the idea before opening the first page.
Variety is bringing its "Pixels and Pencils" conversation back to the SCAD Savannah Film Festival in Georgia for a fifth time. This year's panel features six directors whose animated films are among the most notable of the year, including the directors of "Wildwood" and "Ray Gunn." The panel's name points to both digital and hand-drawn animation, and the directors on the lineup will talk about the craft behind their features.
The Producers Guild of America has chosen Donna Gigliotti and Mike Farah to lead it as co-presidents, according to Variety. The two take over from Donald De Line and Stephanie Allain, who have held the guild's presidency together. In a city where much of the membership lives and works, the vote puts the guild's leadership in new hands. The report did not say when the new presidents will take office.
Dan Cohen, who has worked at both Paramount and Disney, has been appointed to run television distribution at the independent company Black Bear, according to Variety Film. Black Bear also plans to open a new division focused on digital channels. The report treats the two moves as part of the same announcement: an executive from two major studios joins an independent company while it adds a line of business. For readers in Beverly Hills who follow the entertainment industry, it is a hire worth noting.
Curry Barker's new film, "Anything But Ghosts," has a release date of Thursday, May 7, 2027. Focus Features and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster are behind the date. The film is a horror movie played for laughs. It follows Barker's earlier film, "Obsession." Focus Features holds the rights to distribute it around the world, which means the film's opening covers Beverly Hills and Los Angeles along with other markets. Local moviegoers now have a date for Barker's next picture, a little more than seven months from now.
Jennifer Lawrence has been cast as the lead in "The Flood," a science-fiction thriller that Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema are making together. Zach Cregger wrote the film and will direct and produce it, so the project's script, direction and production all sit with him. The report did not include a release date or other casting.
Universal Music Group has appointed Libby Bush to a position the company did not have until now. Her title will be President, Global Brands and Commercial Partnerships. She begins in the role in November. In a city where music and business sit side by side, a new seat at the top of a major label's partnership work is a development readers here will follow.
Morten Tyldum, who directed "The Imitation Game," will direct a live-action film version of "The Little Prince," according to Variety. The publication reported that Simon Beaufoy is also attached to the project. Variety said the film will draw on the life of a French figure connected to the story. The trade outlet reported the news as an exclusive. It did not give a cast, a release date or a studio.
Casey Bloys, the head of HBO, is expected to lead the streaming businesses of both Paramount and Warner Bros. once the two companies complete their merger, Variety reports. Under that arrangement, both HBO and Paramount+ would report to him. According to the report, Cindy Holland said on Tuesday that she is leaving the studio, with the merger close to its final step. The change would put the two companies' streaming services under one executive as they become a single company.
Netflix is adding a group of horror films to its service for October, according to Variety Film. The October additions are timed to Halloween. Variety Film lists "Dracula" among the older titles in the group, and says the October list also includes other long-established films in the genre. In Beverly Hills, the new titles will be available to subscribers at home for the weeks leading up to October 31.
Netflix is adding classic horror films to its catalog for October to mark Halloween. The titles include "Dracula" and a film whose title begins with Mary Shelley's name. For Beverly Hills viewers planning a night in during the Halloween season, the films will be available on the streaming service this month. Variety reported the additions as part of Netflix's October release schedule.
Nike is putting croc texture on the Air Max Goadome Low, in two colorways: Black and Midnight Navy. Both are due in October. Neither one is loud. Black gives the texture a quiet finish, and Midnight Navy is the kind of dark blue that reads as black until the light hits it, the sort of color you notice on a New York sidewalk or a Colorado trail once the evenings turn cool. The textured finish is the news here, and the October release date is the one to remember.
A Bazaar editor has gone behind the label at Bloomeffects, the skincare line built around the tulip, to explain both where the brand comes from and the research behind its formulas. Most of us know the flower from spring window boxes along Park Avenue or a centerpiece on a Palm Beach terrace, so finding it in a jar on the vanity is a pleasant surprise. For readers who judge a red-carpet look from the skin out, a brand that wants its botanical backed by science deserves a closer look before the next gown goes on.
Nike has made an Air Max 95 that uses three animal looks on one upper: pony hair printed with cow spots, leather pressed to look like crocodile, and a snake pattern. Most sneakers pick one exotic look. This one puts all three side by side, so each texture sits next to one that feels quite different. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, animal print is one of the most familiar looks in a well-dressed American closet, and now it has moved onto a running shoe.
Lisa is bringing Viva La Lisa to Las Vegas, and with it a first: no K-pop performer has ever headlined a residency in the city before her. A residency is its own kind of booking. The show doesn't come through town for one night; the city becomes its home stage and the audience comes to it. For an archive that keeps track of who stood where, and in what, a new name at the top of a Las Vegas bill is worth writing down. Tickets are being sold now. We'll be watching for what she wears on that stage.
A bride's ceremony gown has one job, and the dress she changes into for the reception has another: the dancing, the toasts, and the late hours after the vows. Elle has rounded up sixteen reception looks that give that second outfit the same care as the first, treating the evening change as a real fashion moment and not an afterthought. For a Palm Beach ballroom or a Hamptons tent after dark, the idea is simple and appealing: the bride gets a second entrance, in something made for moving. We've always kept track of who wore what and when, and a wedding day now asks that question twice.
Burç Akyol's Spring 2027 collection is made to be worn close, with fluid, body-skimming clothes that treat allure as a design decision. The idea behind it is a closet for someone whose days run in several directions, where each piece has to hold up across all of them. For a New York reader, that means something to wear on a full calendar rather than a single evening out. It's a warmer, more seductive season from the designer, and it was made to be worn, not just looked at.
Fall has a new hair color, and it's a deep, dark-roast brown that Hailey Bieber is lending her name to this season. It takes over from the cola-tinted reds and warm toffee shades that led the last round of color trends. This is a shade to judge by the cup, not the swatch: dense, glossy, and nearly black until the light catches it. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, expect to hear it asked for by the name of a coffee order.
At the VMAs, Tyla made a case for putting on lingerie and walking out without adding anything over it. Her Mowalola bra came in snakeskin, and she wore it as the finished look, not a hint of something underneath. It belongs to a wider change in how dressing up works. Rihanna has also worn a see-through bra in public, and pieces cut like undergarments are turning up where a blouse would usually be. The appeal is simple: a bra is small, it's built to fit the body closely, and when the fabric is as bold as a snake pattern, it can carry a whole outfit by itself. For anyone planning a warm evening in Miami, Los Angeles or Palm Beach, the lesson is about proportion. Once the top is this small, everything else in the look has more room to stand out. Here the lingerie was the whole outfit.
September brought a new batch of beauty launches, and The Zoe Report's edit sorts through them with one goal: getting a routine ready for fall. The idea isn't a single swap. It's a rethink of the whole regimen, every step of it looked at again for the cooler months. Whether the counter is in the Hamptons or in Aspen, the shelf is due for its seasonal changeover, the beauty-cabinet version of moving the linen to the back of the closet. For the archive, these are the new arrivals of autumn 2026.
For the concert wardrobe, Metallica has picked Adidas. The band and the sportswear label have made a line of tops that carry both names, produced for Metallica's 24-show run at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The shows run across five months. That gives the merchandise a long season, and a fan in the stands in the first month can still find the same piece near the end. Some of the tops will be sold only at the Sphere itself. That makes the building a shopping stop as well as a stage, and it turns a shirt into proof that you were in the room. Keepsakes like that tend to outlast the ticket stub. We track who wore what, when and where, and this is a garment tied to all three. A band name and a sportswear name share the same shirt, made for one run of shows in one American building, and part of it can't be bought anywhere else. The pieces worth keeping in any archive are the ones that tell you exactly where they came from.
Harper's Bazaar has picked eleven cream blushes worth a spot on the vanity, and Nars and Dior are among the names on the list. Professionals vouch for the picks, and the appeal is in the finish: color that seems to become part of the complexion instead of resting on top of it. From a black-tie evening in Palm Beach to the final walk under a pageant crown, that is the kind of cheek that reads as the wearer's own. Eleven formulas, two famous houses, and one simple principle: the flush should look as though it was always there.
Bravo has settled on a favorite part of New York, and it is the Financial District at the southern tip of Manhattan. The network's unscripted casts, above all the cast of Next Gen NYC, keep coming back to FiDi, and the district gets far more airtime than its size would suggest. For readers who follow where Americans choose to be seen, that choice says something: FiDi is now one of the places television uses to show New York.
IFPDA's Prints & Drawings Month is back, and two of New York's great institutions, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Morgan Library, are among those contributing programs. The image chosen to announce it is a work on paper by Roy Lichtenstein: a 1997 study for a mural at the Bellagio Hotel, *Still Life with Reclining Nude*, made in collage and graphite pencil on board and held by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. The study shows a large commission at the planning stage, with cut paper and pencil on a board where the composition was worked out before it went up at full scale. For readers who follow the market, the medium is the point. Studies and preparatory sheets let you see how an artist got to the finished work. No price is attached to any of it. The work belongs to a museum, and this desk does not guess at values that are not on the record. What is on the record is that the program has returned, and that the Met and the Morgan are taking part.
Sean Wotherspoon, the designer and artist known as a devoted collector, has redrawn Silver Oak's signature label for a limited-edition release. The bottle itself is familiar; only the face it shows the world has changed, and a label is the first thing anyone sees when a bottle comes up from the cellar or is set on the table. Because the run is limited, some will buy it to drink and others to keep, much as a collector would. No price has been published, and this desk will not guess one.
Min Jin Lee's new novel is set in the Korean for-profit learning centers where families pay for extra hours of study, and here those centers are on American soil. In a new conversation, Lee talks about what first drew her to these tutoring academies as a subject for fiction. She also argues that education should be taken out of the political arena. For readers planning what to read this season, her book asks what schooling can really promise a child.
Alaska Airlines is adding business class seats throughout its fleet. It is also launching premium economy, a new cabin between the main cabin and the front of the plane. For travelers who think a trip starts when they sit down, not when they check in, this is an airline putting its money into comfort. Alaska is going ahead even though fuel costs more than it did.
The 2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC has had its first test from the press, and The Drive's verdict favors the automatic: in their view, this Mustang is the best version of the car even without a manual gearbox. That's a big thing to say about a nameplate whose owners have long argued over the third pedal. The judgment is The Drive's, from their own seat; we haven't driven the car. For collectors keeping an eye on the top of the Mustang range, the 2026 Dark Horse SC now has a strong early endorsement.
For the 2026 model year, Ford has a new high-performance Mustang in the Dark Horse SC. It sits one rung under the GTD, which remains the top of the Mustang range, and it takes over the role the Shelby GT500 used to fill. For owners and collectors who follow the Mustang line year by year, that gives the car a clear place to be judged from: it's the next step in Ford's performance ladder, directly below its flagship.
For 2026, Ford has added the Mustang Dark Horse SC to the top of the pony-car range, and according to the report it is a better car than the Shelby GT500 in two ways. It is quicker and more capable, and it is also easier to live with day to day. Collectors who have kept a GT500 as the high point of the modern Mustang now have a newer model to measure it against. For owners from Naples to Aspen, the more telling improvement may be that the SC gained its edge without becoming harder to drive, since the better-behaved car is usually the one that gets used.
For 2026, Ford has a new Mustang above the regular Dark Horse, and it has an S and a C added to its name. The Dark Horse SC now holds the position in the Mustang lineup that belonged to the Shelby GT500. For owners and collectors who track Ford's pony car by trim and model year, that is the fact to note: the flagship slot has passed from the Shelby name to the Dark Horse line. It is also billed as the quicker car, so a fast Mustang now sits at the top of the range under a new badge.
FlyWith, a new service for private aviation, plans a formal launch in the coming month. You can join only if you're invited. The idea is simple: a flight you have booked can become one you split with people you already know. For owners who treat the drive to the private terminal as part of the trip, it treats the cabin the way a good garage treats a collection, as something better enjoyed in company.
FlyWith is a new app that lets private fliers open their trips to friends, and it only lets people in by invitation. Its formal launch is set for the weeks ahead. In a state where the drive from Palm Beach to Naples can feel as long as the flight to New York, the appeal is easy to see: take the trip you were already making, and bring the people you would have wanted aboard anyway. That's how it works in Palm Beach and in Naples, and Miami is welcome to join in once it finds the invitation.
Four Daytona wristwatches, each the only one of its kind, have sold for $49.5 million combined, and none of that money stays with the sellers. Every dollar goes to two charities, the Federer Foundation and Re:wild. Floridians will notice the name on the dial first. The Daytona is named after our own stretch of hard-packed Atlantic sand, so a little of the credit arguably belongs to Volusia County. The arithmetic is worth a moment too: four watches averaging better than $12 million apiece is the kind of math usually reserved for waterfront parcels on Gordon Drive or the ocean side of South Ocean Boulevard. In Miami, the reaction will be to ask who bought them. In Palm Beach, people will quietly admire that the whole sum went to good causes. In Naples, the talk will turn to whether the bands can be adjusted for golf. All three cities would agree, though, that the best thing about this sale is where the money is going.
Flying has published guidance for flight instructors who take over a student partway through training after the original instructor moves on. For owners working toward a certificate in their own aircraft, the value runs in the other direction: it describes what a good incoming instructor should do to earn the student's confidence and keep the lessons moving without losing ground. A handoff like that is a craft skill, and it is worth knowing what one looks like when it is done well.
ARTnews has published the list of contenders for its awards, now in their third year. The prizes recognize the best work being done across American art, from the museums that hold it to the galleries that show and sell it. For readers who follow what hangs on this country's walls and who put it there, a shortlist like this shows which rooms the art world is watching right now. The honors go to work made and shown here at home.
A Turner view of Rome that once sold for $47.5 million, a record at the time, is going up for auction again, now carrying a $66 million estimate. That price is its own earlier result, and the painting has to beat it. More than ten years have passed since that sale. The new estimate is $18.5 million higher than the old one, an increase of close to 40 percent. The subject is Rome, painted in a soft, misty light where the city's outlines blur into the air around them. A collector in New York, Palm Beach or Los Angeles should look past the headline number to what the gap between the two figures says: after more than a decade, the people pricing this canvas think the market for it has grown substantially. It is unusual to see one painting measured against its own history like this, and the sale will show whether bidders agree.
The gallery list for this year's Art Basel Miami Beach is out, and it holds 272 names. The fair runs December 2 through 6, and its layout has been substantially reworked. The biggest change is that the Meridians section is gone. The resulting list is leaner, and for collectors who plan their visits booth by booth, that means a new route through the halls. For Miami, the release of the list is the first real sign of the season ahead: which dealers are coming and how the rooms will be arranged. Anyone who knew the old map will want to study the new one before the doors open in December.
Art Basel Miami Beach has published its exhibitor list for this year: 272 names, fewer than in 2025. The fair calls the smaller number a choice, a closer edit rather than a pullback. For collectors who plan their Miami week around the fair, this list is the first real outline of what they will walk into. A shorter roster means fewer stands to cover and more reason to spend time at each one.
The Los Angeles Dodgers built their last regular-season home date around a Godzilla theme, billed as "Godzilla Minus Zero," and fans formed lines to collect the club's giveaway item. The team has won the last two World Series and now moves on to the postseason. For supporters in Los Angeles, the themed night was the last chance this regular season to see the club at home and take a souvenir with them.
Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård star in "Wicker," which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and has drawn attention since. Colman plays a fisherwoman, and Skarsgård plays her partner, a lover woven by hand from wicker. The film's intimate scenes between the two characters account for most of that attention. In an interview, the actors said the relationship is about two beings treating each other with kindness.
Director Richard Linklater said his film adaptation of "Merrily We Roll Along," which is being made over 20 years, will go back in front of the cameras within months, according to Variety. He also gave an update on where the long-running project stands. Linklater said he prefers not to be questioned about the film, and compared it to "Boyhood," which he said his team made without anyone knowing it existed. For film audiences in Beverly Hills, the update means the project is still moving forward on the schedule its director has set.
Director Richard Linklater said the next round of production on his film adaptation of "Merrily We Roll Along" will begin within months. He described the long-running project as one spanning 20 years and gave an update on where it stands. Linklater said he would rather not field questions about the film. He compared it with his work on "Boyhood," saying the production of that film went forward without public attention because no one was aware it was being made.
Richard Avedon's apprentice years at Harper's Bazaar are getting two tributes at once: a new book, and a documentary on the way from director Ron Howard. Both look at the magazine as the place where the photographer worked out how he saw things, before the rest of us learned to see fashion through his pictures. It's a fitting place to start. For anyone who reads a fashion photograph by its designer, its year and its occasion, the question of how a way of seeing gets made is the archive's own question. A book to keep and a film to watch are a good pair for it, and both give the pages where it began their proper credit.
The Spring/Summer 2027 collections made a clear case for the skirt. Every length got its turn: short hems, knee-grazing cuts and full-length columns that reach the ankle. The message for the closet is that the skirt is now the everyday choice, and trousers can wait for another season. From a Palm Beach lunch to a Hamptons evening to an Aspen afternoon once the snow melts, there's a length on these runways for the occasion.
Fashionista's editors have published their September picks, sixteen pieces in all, and two of them mark the change of season. The first is a barn jacket in several colors. That is a playful choice for a coat usually made in field-ready tan, and it looks just as right on a cool morning in New York or Aspen as on a country lane. The second is a lavender sweater knit sheer enough to let light through, a soft pastel for weather that is only starting to turn. Together they make a good case for a September closet that dresses for the first cool air without giving up color.
Ferraro is being recognized for leading the Keeneland Library's progress, and America's Best Racing has chosen her for its Women in Racing series. Most coverage of the Keeneland name follows the racetrack and the sales ring. The library is where the sport keeps its own record, and it matters to anyone who cares about pedigrees, the horses and the people who shaped American racing. It's worth our readers' attention that a woman is steering that institution, and that the sport has made a point of saying so.
For anyone bidding this season, the cost of buying at auction is still going up: the buyer's premium charged on top of the hammer price has climbed again. At Christie's, the house is adding to its roster with a department that did not exist before. In New York, the Armory Show has put fresh work into new hands, and the question of who bought what is now part of the season's talk. It is a useful moment for collectors to read the fine print before raising a paddle, and to watch how the houses organize themselves around what people want to own.
Billy Joel is selling upwards of seventy motorcycles from his personal collection at auction. Vintage Ducati and Triumph machines are among the lots, one marque from Italy and one from Britain. Every bike comes from the same owner, and bidders who care about provenance will value a history that clear. Seventy-odd motorcycles makes for a long catalog, with plenty to consider beyond one or two star lots. What They Drive will not guess at what any of them might bring; the hammer prices will tell that story when the sale is done. Collectors of classic Italian and British bikes, from the Hamptons to Aspen, will want to follow this one.
Plenty of publicity firms sign designers early in their careers. For David Siwicki, who founded his own agency, that work is a personal commitment rather than one more account on the roster, and Vogue has now given him a full feature. An archive that tracks who wore what, and when, also cares about the people who help a young label reach its first audience. Every look we catalog started somewhere, and it helps to have someone who will vouch for a name before the rest of the room knows it.
The season now starts before anyone walks. A show invite used to be a card; now it is an object, made to be filmed as it comes out of its box. Those opening-the-package clips carry a show far past the people in the seats, so the invitation has become a planned part of how a collection is promoted, not just a courtesy. For readers who keep track of every season from New York to Los Angeles, the record now begins with what arrives by mail.
One of Steve Carell's properties isn't a house at all. The actor, star of Rooster, keeps a general store a short distance from where he lives in Massachusetts. A shop is a different kind of property from a private residence, because its door is open to the town it serves. No price for it is on the record, and this desk does not estimate one.
The painter Anna Weyant, who is represented by Gagosian, has listed her Manhattan apartment for $3.5 million. The home is on the northern stretch of Fifth Avenue, and it has the six-room layout that New York buyers still ask for by name. Weyant bought it two years ago. The $3.5 million is the asking price, the seller's opening figure on the record. What the apartment finally sells for is a different number, and this desk will report it when it becomes public. Until then, the story is the listing itself: an artist with one of the most closely watched galleries in the world is offering a home in one of the city's most lasting apartment types, on the avenue that has long set the standard for them.
Porsche has named the first two cities for a new private club that also works as a studio, and West Palm Beach is one of them. The other is Dallas. Nobody can simply sign up: membership comes by invitation from the carmaker. The German house calls the idea a club and a studio at once, a place built around the marque rather than a showroom for selling cars. For readers here, the news is the address. Of all the American cities Porsche could have chosen to open with, it chose one on our side of the water. Cars are among the most closely followed objects in American collecting, and a maker giving its name to a room says something about where it thinks its people already are. For now there are two cities, and one of them is ours.
Wyatt McCubbin now ranks among the fifteen strongest names on MusicRow's songwriter chart. In this town, that list is how the industry measures the people who write the songs, not only the artists who sing them. His new position puts him in close company near the top, where a place is earned one credit at a time. Nashville has always saved some of its respect for the name in the liner notes, and this week that name is his.
Instinct takes booking requests by text message, and travel is now its biggest category. The company's founder says travel accounts for half of everything that comes through the app. That kind of pull is what brought the travel world's attention to a service that runs on a plain text. The next step for the company is to make that volume pay.
Netflix is bringing back A Different World, and Debbie Allen and Felicia Pride are the pair leading its return. The story is set at Hillman once more, where a fresh class of students shares the campus with familiar faces from the original 1980s run. For an archive that keeps careful count of who wore what and when, a revival is an occasion of its own: a beloved show choosing to come back rather than simply be remembered. We'll be watching the new class's wardrobe closely once they arrive.
Adidas has given its Samba another unusual texture, this time pony hair patterned like a black-and-white cowhide. The details come in a soft, powdery blue, which calms the busy spotted upper so the shoe reads as considered rather than loud. It's a playful take on ranch-country pattern, and the kind of pair that would feel right on a Nashville sidewalk or with denim on a New York weekend. We cover the red carpet, but we'll always stop for a good print.
Adidas has given the Samba another unexpected hide: a fuzzy pony-hair upper, spotted in ink and cream like a pasture Holstein. Against that, a pale, powdery blue picks out the details, which keeps the pair from reading as pure novelty. The contrast is the point. A shoe this spotted belongs in a closet that already knows how to wear a leopard loafer, whether that closet is on the Upper East Side or in Aspen.
Gigi Hadid's knitwear label, Guest in Residence, is now selling on Nordstrom's website, and the timing suits fall. Every piece in the drop is made entirely of cashmere, and the lineup covers the basics of the season: cardigans to button over a tee, jackets for the first cool evenings, and scarves to wrap twice and forget about. The mood of the collection leans toward the American West. Think ranch-country outerwear done in the softest possible yarn, the kind of thing that looks as right on an Aspen morning as on a drizzly afternoon in New York. Nordstrom is also shipping it at no charge, so the only real decision left is which piece to reach for first.
The Air Jordan 11 went thirty-one years without a collaborator, and it has now agreed to its first. For a shoe that sits near the top of the Jordan line in the hearts of the people who collect it, that is a remarkably patient stretch. Anyone keeping an archive, whether on a closet shelf in Miami or behind glass in New York, should add this entry: the first joint project in the model's history. Some classics simply take their time choosing company.
Coach has made a new Tabby in suede, and this version has more space inside than you might expect from the shape. The brushed surface softens a familiar silhouette, the kind of texture that looks sharp on a Monday morning subway platform and looks just as easy by Saturday. The practical news is the extra capacity: one bag built to carry the working week and the days off after it. For anyone who goes from office to off-duty without stopping home to switch bags, that is the whole appeal.
"School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play" has moved up to Broadway, with September 28 set as its date at the Samuel J Friedman Theatre. The play began off-Broadway in 2017, so this is a return, and New York audiences get to see the same schoolgirls on a bigger stage. At its heart is a spirited group of girls at a boarding school, which is a more particular setting than the familiar cafeteria-and-locker version of the mean-girl story. The credit belongs to Jocelyn Bioh and Whitney White, who are named as its makers and who set out to build another kind of mean girl. For a desk that keeps careful records of who wore what and where, a play about girls sizing each other up and ranking one another feels close to home. The date, the house and the title are all settled, and Broadway has one more reason to buy a ticket this fall.
Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse are now parents of their first child, and they announced it with a pun. Their Instagram post played on the timing, joking that they had taken the September holiday's name at its word. Labor Day is the long weekend Americans treat as the end of summer and the unofficial last call for white trousers. This year, for this couple, it also marked a new beginning.
MP Connect has an opening for a PR account executive, and the job is based in New York. Melissa Palmieri started the agency in 2016 and put close to twenty years in the business behind the name on the door. Readers who remember it as MP-IMC have the right firm; only the name has changed. For an archive that tracks who wore what and where, the people who handle the press side are worth knowing. A look reaches our pages only after someone has pitched it, confirmed it and gotten the credit right, and account executives do much of that work. Anyone who can already name the house, the year and the occasion without looking it up may find this job suits them.
Bad Bunny's Adidas Gazelle is coming back in gold this October. The new version echoes the Ballerina colorway, the first one the artist released. We keep a close eye on footwear, and a gold Gazelle is the kind of sneaker that works as well on a Miami sidewalk as it does at a New York dinner.
Bad Bunny's Adidas Gazelle is coming back in October, this time in gold. It keeps close to the Ballerina colorway that first introduced his take on the silhouette, so anyone who followed that first pair will recognize the shape and the mood, now in a warmer metal. For the archivists among our readers, that's worth writing down: a named sneaker, a named colorway, a named month. From Miami to Los Angeles, gold is an easy color to wear, and the Gazelle is a low, clean sneaker that doesn't need much else to look finished.
Lululemon has put two faces on its autumn coats and jackets: Lewis Hamilton and, newly beside him, Chris Lee. The clothes are built to weigh little and to keep out wind and rain. The campaign also frames getting out and moving as something done with purpose, not simply for exercise. For readers heading from an early Aspen morning to a damp Hamptons weekend, those are the qualities that decide which jacket actually gets worn this fall.
Lululemon has picked its faces for fall, and Chris Lee now stands beside Lewis Hamilton in the brand's new outerwear campaign. The pieces are made to keep out the weather without adding weight, so the pitch is protection you hardly notice you're wearing. The brand frames the collection around moving with intention and not simply staying warm. From an Aspen trailhead to a wet morning in New York, that is the sort of coat a reader might reach for once the season turns.
Julianne Moore has been named the recipient of the Icon Award at this year's SCAD Savannah Film Festival in Georgia. The Savannah College of Art and Design, which runs the festival, will make the presentation. The school has also chosen "The Debut," a film featuring Moore, as the festival's centerpiece selection. Jesse Eisenberg directed the film, which is a musical comedy. The award and the centerpiece slot mean Moore will be recognized for her career and for a new film at the same event. The festival is run by an art and design college, so the screenings take place in front of an audience that includes students training in film. For readers who follow the film calendar from Los Angeles, the Savannah festival is one of the stops where new titles are shown to audiences.
Alan Cumming, who first appeared in the "X-Men" films, is part of the cast of Marvel's "Avengers: Doomsday." In an interview on SiriusXM, Cumming said he does not have a complete grasp of the film's storyline. He also said that in his scenes connected to Florence Pugh, he worked with her stunt double rather than with Pugh herself.
Horror films drew strong ticket sales in 2026, with "Obsession" and "Backrooms" among the titles that performed well at the box office. People who work in the genre met at this year's Fantastic Fest to talk about where horror goes from here. The discussion covered how filmmakers and studios can take creative risks while also limiting their exposure. For readers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles, where much of the film business is based, the talk concerned a genre coming off one of its strongest commercial years.
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" will be released again, and this version will include footage that was not part of the film's first run. Variety has confirmed the plan. The content of the added scenes has not been made public. For moviegoers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles who have already seen the film, the new version means material they have not seen before.
The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards drew an average of 8.43 million viewers on Sunday night across its joint broadcast on CBS and MTV, according to Nielsen Live+same day data. That audience is 51 percent larger than the one the ceremony drew a year earlier. It is also the highest viewership for the awards since 2015. The figure combines viewers from both networks, a broadcast network and a cable channel owned by the same parent company. Nielsen's Live+same day measure counts people who watched the broadcast live, plus those who watched a recording before the end of that day. Viewing on later days is not included in the figure. The numbers are a measure of a national television audience for the annual awards, which recognize work in music video.
This year's Video Music Awards drew more viewers than in any of the previous 11 years, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Madonna and Taylor Swift were featured prominently in the broadcast. The Hollywood Reporter said the NFL programming that aired before the awards show likely added to the audience.
A scene with Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple, cut from "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," may be shown if the film returns to theaters, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The studio is considering a second theatrical run for the film, which Destin Daniel Cretton directed, with footage that was not in the original release. Dawson's scene is part of that material. No plan for a rerelease has been confirmed, and the report does not give dates or say where the film would play.
The CW will broadcast the last episode of "All American" tonight at 8 p.m., ending a run of eight seasons. Over that span, the series passed 100 episodes, a number few scripted network programs reach. The show is set in the world of high school football and follows its players on and off the field. Tonight's hour is the last one the network will air. Viewers in Beverly Hills can watch at the scheduled time on The CW.
Rob Lowe says a follow-up to "St. Elmo's Fire" is being developed. The actor gave the update when he was asked where the project stands. He said a script has been written. He also said the actors from the film want to take part. Lowe did not give a date for production or a release.
Rob Lowe says a sequel to "St. Elmo's Fire" is still being developed, and he confirmed that a script has been written. Asked where the project stands, the actor said it is actively moving forward. He also said the film's actors are eager to return. Lowe did not give a production start date or a release date.
Zoe Saldaña has played Joe McNamara, an officer with the Central Intelligence Agency, in "Lioness" through a third season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series comes from Taylor Sheridan. In remarks to the trade publication, Saldaña said she could not picture herself taking a part in a different Sheridan series. The same actress has played the character in every season of the show so far.
The technology company Nothing has named V, a member of BTS, as its ambassador around the world, and he appears wearing the brand's latest headphones. Carl Pei, who co-founded Nothing and serves as its chief executive, credited the singer with a natural willingness to take creative risks. Pei also said V keeps moving into new kinds of music and new looks. For listeners in Beverly Hills who choose their headphones with as much care as anything else they wear, the pairing puts a performer known for his sound and a company focused on design into the same product.
Variety has given a favorable review to the Broadway production of Jocelyn Bioh's "School Girls; or, the African Mean Girls Play." The review calls the play an outstanding depiction of young Black women as they come of age. It describes the last years of girlhood as a stage of life that cannot be recreated, when a young woman sits between childhood innocence and the demands of being grown and moves back and forth between the two. For New York theatergoers, the review adds Bioh's play to the list of Broadway productions now earning praise from critics.
Green Wedding Shoes has been writing about the parts of a wedding that stay out of sight. Its examples were small and personal: a locket fastened inside the wrapping of a bride's bouquet, and a letter from a father, folded and slipped into the lining of a groom's jacket. The newest of these, the report said, is sewn directly into the wedding clothes, so it becomes part of the garment instead of something carried alongside it. None of it is made for the photographs or the guests. It sits against the fabric, and the couple knows it is there. At a Beverly Hills wedding, where everyone in the room sees the look, a stitch meant for only one person is a quiet piece of craft.
Ginny and Gordon married at the Country Club of Detroit, the same club where they went on their first date. For a couple choosing a venue, that is the strongest reason there is: the room already means something before anyone decorates it. They set the dress code at black tie. That one line on the invitation decides the formality of the whole day, from what the guests wear to how the evening runs. They named Nancy Meyers as their style reference, which tells a planner and every vendor what the day should feel like before the first mood board goes around. Liz Banfield, a member of the Little Black Book photographer network, photographed the day from start to finish. When the venue carries this much of the story, it makes sense to hire one photographer for the whole day.
A Grand Banks 72 Aleutian is now listed for sale. The builder is Grand Banks, and the model name gives the length: 72 feet. Two Caterpillar C18 diesels sit in the engine room, each rated at 1,015 horsepower. Held at 10 knots, the boat can cover 1,250 miles before it needs fuel. For an owner, that last figure matters most, because it sets how far the boat can go and how often it has to stop. From a Florida dock, that kind of range puts a lot of coastline within reach of a single fuel load. The listing doesn't give an asking price or a naval architect, so we haven't named either.
CRN has presented Amor À Vida, a 67-meter yacht, about 220 feet, built entirely to one client's brief rather than from an existing platform. The yard handled the engineering, and the styling came from the Nuvolari Lenard studio. Below deck she runs on a hybrid power system, the part that will interest owners along the Florida coast who are asking more of their builders about how a yacht moves as well as how she looks. Inside, the accommodation was designed around the person it was built for. No price has been made public, and none is given here.
In Florida we know a thing or two about living near water. Naples buys its view, Palm Beach keeps a lawn between itself and the Atlantic, and Miami builds a tower and calls the bay the backyard. San Francisco has now put forward something more committed: a house that sits right on the water, in Mission Creek Harbor, offered at $1.7 million. The city allows only 20 homes like it, so this one is less a listing than a rare chance to live on the water in a place that permits very few people to try. It also comes with its own boat and a 40-foot slip, which means the front door and the way out onto the water are about as close together as they can get. Most waterfront buyers here would think of the dock as a feature. On Mission Creek, the water is the address. For anyone who has ever looked at a Florida marina and wondered what it would be like to skip the house on land entirely, San Francisco is offering one of its 20 answers.
Most of the Palm Beach crowd who keep a place in New York want something north of Fifty-Ninth Street. This one sits downtown, and it comes with a story. F.W. Woolworth once kept his office here, and the room that held that office now forms part of an $18.5 million apartment. The home takes up an entire floor, which means no neighbor on the other side of the wall and no shared landing. It runs past 6,000 square feet, more room than a good many Naples houses sitting on actual land. The ceilings are fifteen feet high, tall enough that the windows feel like part of the architecture and not just a way to see out. The terra-cotta work is the original, made by hand in the era when an office was built to impress anyone who walked in for a meeting. Through those windows, downtown Manhattan spreads out in every direction. Anyone who has watched the Intracoastal from a Flagler Drive balcony knows the pleasure of a long view, and this is the vertical version of it.
On the East End, the ground that used to be Bridgehampton's racing circuit is now home to a car show you attend by invitation only. For collectors, that matters: the cars on display sit on land that was built for driving fast, not in a convention hall or on a parking lot. The event runs as a polished, dressed-up occasion, and the setting is as much a part of it as the cars. For a Hamptons audience, a racing address that now hosts a show like this is part of what makes the South Fork a real place for motoring, not only a summer destination.
Veranda has put together a list of 22 upscale gifts that can still be ordered from Amazon with little time to spare. What stands out is that nearly everything on it belongs to a home rather than to a person. There are candles for the living room, pieces for the kitchen, blankets for the end of a sofa and, farther out, pizza ovens for the backyard. It is a list for someone buying for a household, where the best gift gets used long after the wrapping is gone.
Architectural Digest has picked its ten best wreaths for fall 2026, the year's list for the front door. The choices run from dried flowers to leaves in the turning colors of the season, along with artificial pieces made well enough to pass for the real thing. On any American house, the front door is the first thing a visitor sees, and a well-chosen wreath shows that the house is cared for before anyone steps inside. The best of them are made to last, so they can stay on the door through the whole season.
Halloween is getting a gentler treatment than usual this year: an evening where guests paint with a drink close at hand, and the brushwork takes its cue from the holiday. The appeal is plain. You get a seat, a canvas and something poured, and by the end you've made something to take home. Nobody needs to be a painter to come, and in a city that sees plenty of real artists at work, that's a nice change. The venue, date and ticket details were in the original listing, so check there before you plan the night.
This Friday, Prickly Pear Coffee Co. is setting aside its counter for "Coffee with Luke," and the name of the gathering tells you most of what it is. It's a coffee, and it's a chance to share a table with the man it's named for. The best Nashville invitations often come without a lot of explanation, and this is one of them. If you have a free morning on Friday, it's a good way to start the weekend.
Oheka Castle, the Long Island house built for Otto Hermann Kahn, is going to auction. It took five years to build, from 1914 to 1919, and its first owner was a financier who also supported the arts. The house has since made its way onto film, with appearances ranging from Citizen Kane to the work of Taylor Swift. For collectors, the main point is plainly stated. A New York house with a named original owner and a documented construction date is coming to auction, and that is the moment a place like this can change hands. No auction house, sale date or estimate has been named, and we won't guess at one.
Paul McCartney's 1968 handwritten lyrics for "Hey Jude," with his notes on the page, are going up for sale. They won't be sold alone. The RIAA Gold Record awarded to the Beatles after the single came out will be offered with them. That pairing is what collectors will notice: the page where the song was written, and the record that marked its success in the market, in a single sale. The seller hasn't made a price public, and What They Collect will report one only when it's disclosed.
Visvim and Mr Porter are working together again, eight years after they first partnered in 2018. The new capsule takes its cue from motorsport, and it comes from the part of Hiroki Nakamura's taste that runs to old cars. He founded Visvim, and this collection makes a hobby into the design brief. For readers from the Hamptons to Naples who know the difference between a car and a classic, it is a capsule worth pulling up to.
Visvim and Mr Porter are working together again with a new capsule built around racing, and the inspiration is personal. Visvim founder Hiroki Nakamura has a fondness for classic automobiles, and this collection turns that interest into clothing. It is the second time the label and the online retailer have partnered, following their first collaboration in 2018. Anyone who reads a concours program as closely as a lookbook, from Palm Beach to Aspen, will know that pull.
Brian Chesky, Airbnb's chief executive, has spoken about hotels, cars and flights, and about setting aside some of the convictions that once guided his company. He said less about Airbnb's experiences, but he has eased there too: an experience no longer has to be unique to earn a place on the platform. For hosts building those experiences, and for travelers choosing among them, the standard is now a little wider than it was.
Sylvester Stallone praised actor Anthony Ippolito, who portrays Stallone at a younger age in the film "I Play Rocky," during an onstage conversation at 92NY in New York. Stallone said that when he first saw Ippolito's performance, he briefly took the actor for himself. The film tells Stallone's own story, and Ippolito plays him in his earlier years.
Van Toffler, a producer of the MTV Video Music Awards, discussed the broadcast in an interview published the day after its Sunday telecast. He talked about performers whose appearances had not been announced in advance, including Adam Lambert and Bruno Mars. He also addressed the awards Madonna won and the size of the audience the telecast drew. Toffler commented as well on a delay in the broadcast connected to a football game.
Green Wedding Shoes has been gathering the private gestures of the wedding day, the ones no guest ever sees. It named a locket wound into the wrapping of a bouquet and a father's folded letter carried inside a groom's jacket. The newest of these is sewn into the wedding clothes themselves, a small stitched detail placed where no guest will find it. In a town where a gown and a suit are studied from every angle, the appeal is plain: one thing on the day is kept for the couple alone.
A Grand Banks 72 Aleutian is now listed for sale, and the numbers say what kind of owner the boat was built for. Two Caterpillar C18 engines sit in the engine room, each making 1,015 horsepower. Throttled back to 10 knots, the boat can cover 1,250 miles before it needs fuel again. That is the figure a passagemaker reads first. It describes a boat meant to leave the marina and stay gone, not one meant to idle between the fuel dock and the sandbar. For an owner on the Florida coast, that range is what separates a weekend boat from one that can make real passages. The listing puts the power and the range first, and for a yacht like this, those two figures describe the boat. No asking price appears in the report, so we do not print one.
CRN's newest yacht is Amor À Vida, a 67-meter build. That is roughly 220 feet on the waterline conversation owners have at the dock. She was built from a clean sheet to one client's brief, not adapted from an existing platform. Nuvolari Lenard did the design work, pairing that studio's hand with the yard's engineering. Her drivetrain is hybrid, which puts the propulsion question alongside the styling in any serious look at the boat. Inside, the rooms follow the owner's own tastes instead of a builder's standard package. No price is on the record. For readers from Palm Beach to Newport Beach who follow custom yachts at this length, the facts worth noting are the yard, the designer, the size and the hybrid drivetrain.
The JRBAF has bought a parcel of land in the Sierra Nevada, at Meadow View Peak, where it plans to build a new backcountry airstrip. The foundation has opened a $200,000 capital campaign to pay for the development. The finished strip is meant to be open to the public as a place pilots fly to for its own sake. For owners, that is the part that matters. This will not be a private field for one family's hangar. It is meant to be a place where anyone with a suitable airplane can land. At this stage the foundation owns the ground and has a fundraising target. The airstrip itself does not exist yet, and the $200,000 is the gap between the two. Anyone who has wished for one more reason to fly into the Sierra now has a specific place and a specific sum to support.
A report on general aviation's national footprint cites estimates that the sector accounts for 1.33 million jobs across the United States and $339.2 billion in economic activity. Those two numbers cover everything that falls under general aviation, including the Part 91 owner-flown single, the 91K fractional share and the managed jet flying Part 135 when the owner isn't aboard. For readers who own the aircraft, the figures are a useful reference: the fuel, maintenance and hangar invoices that land on the owner's desk are part of that total. The report presents the numbers as estimates, not as an audited count. Even so, $339.2 billion and 1.33 million jobs are concrete figures an owner can use when an airport board, a county commission or a neighbor asks what the field is worth.
The FAA has approved an emergency autoland system for the Pilatus PC-12 PRO, and EASA has approved it too. If the pilot can no longer fly, the system picks a runway, talks to air traffic control and brings the airplane down on its own. For an owner who flies single-pilot in the left seat, the useful fact is that the certification is from the U.S. regulator.
AVweb's featured image for September 28, 2026 shows Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor in the sky above Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Most owners know Oshkosh from the ground: the ramp, the approach, the long walk from the parking row. This frame shows the town from above, with an air-superiority fighter in the airspace that general aviation usually has to itself. For those of us who fly our own airplanes, it is a pleasant picture of the most crowded patch of sky in American general aviation, with the heaviest metal in the country flying through it.
Exyn is taking autonomous inspection work to Warner Robins, Georgia, under an Air Force project. The first step is a demonstration this October. Operational work is set to follow in 2027. Anyone who has stood on a ramp waiting for a squawk list to come back will want to see how the October demonstration goes.
Someone has turned a Porsche 944 into a shooting brake, and it is headed for a new owner shortly. Its designers took their cue from the 924 Turbo S wagon that Günter Artz created, so this long-roofed 944 comes from a clear line of earlier work. Miami would want it louder, Palm Beach would ask about it quietly, and Naples would already be working out whether the golf bags fit. A sports car with room in the back fits the way this state actually spends a weekend.
In Miami Beach, a $7 million penthouse at the Caribbean is on the market, and the part people will talk about is on the roof. The home has four bedrooms, but the rooftop is large enough that it reads as its own floor, and it's the whole reason the address stands out. Up there, the sky does the job of the ceiling. Downstairs, the rooms were done by Ximena Caminos, who curates art, and they are full of color. That's a very Miami Beach decision. In Palm Beach, a penthouse would usually whisper, and in Naples it would lean toward sand and linen. Here, a curator chose bright color on purpose, and it takes some confidence to live with. Taken together, the listing shows what makes a home memorable. Four bedrooms is a normal count. A rooftop of that size and rooms put together by someone who arranges art for a living are not normal. It's a home made for people who want the colors inside to hold their own against the Miami Beach light.
People in Florida tend to think we have the last word on living by the water. Palm Beach has its seawalls, Naples its canals and Miami its towers above the bay. San Francisco has something none of them offer. A house at Mission Creek Harbor that sits on the water itself is now for sale at $1.7 million, and the city counts only 20 homes of its kind with official approval. That is a very short list for a city of its size, and it makes each approved address a genuine rarity. The sale also includes a boat for leisure and a 40-foot slip to tie it up in, so the next owner can leave from the front door with no marina waitlist in the way. For readers who measure a good life by the distance between the house and the water, this one closes the gap completely.
Nvidia said Monday that it will add $150 billion to the money it has set aside to buy back its own shares. No company has ever authorized a larger repurchase. The decision went through the company's board, and in a single figure it makes a firm statement of confidence in the enterprise and a new high mark for corporate America.
Chevrolet and GMC are retiring the ball-nut steering box and its fluid-driven power assist on their heavy-duty pickups, and moving to a steering rack with electric power assistance. The fluid pump and ball-nut gearbox have been part of these big trucks for a long time. The rack with an electric motor is the arrangement most drivers already know from ordinary passenger cars. For owners who tow a horse trailer on a Colorado mountain pass or haul a boat to a Florida launch ramp, this is a real change in how their working trucks are engineered.
Lexus owners who follow the marque closely have a name to add to their notes: TZ, set for the 2027 model year. This is an early look. The full picture has not been drawn yet, so for now the facts on the table are the letters and the year. For collectors and longtime Lexus drivers, that is enough to start watching for more.
Subaru has announced two special editions of its performance cars, the WRX GD25 and the BRZ ZC15, both built in limited numbers. Each rides on rims finished in gold or bronze, the kind of detail an owner notices first at a Cars and Coffee lot. Beneath that finish, the suspension has been improved and the tires grip harder than the standard fitment. For collectors who keep an eye on short production runs from Japanese makers, these two model names are worth writing down.
The McLaren W1 gets its aerodynamic grip from ground effect, working the air beneath the car rather than relying on a large rear wing above the tail. The engineering happens under the car, and the body above it can stay cleaner. For owners and collectors who judge a car as much by its lines as by its numbers, that is a choice worth noticing. It is design that keeps its most important work mostly out of sight.
This is a Porsche 944 that no factory built. It has been reworked by hand into a shooting brake, with the roofline pulled back into a long, squared tail in place of the familiar glass hatch. Its designer took their cue from a single earlier car, Günter Artz's wagon version of the 924 Turbo S, and carried that idea over to the 944 that followed it. It will be offered for sale soon, and it's one to watch for collectors from Palm Beach to Aspen who follow front-engine Porsches and the rare coachbuilt cars made from them.
For the 2027 model year, buyers can once again spec an F-150 with its body finished in two separate colors. Ford is handling the work through its Ford Custom Garage program instead of listing it as an ordinary option. It can only be ordered on the four-door SuperCrew cab, and only in XLT or Lariat trim. Anyone who wants a factory-backed split-color half-ton now knows exactly which truck to order.
Subaru has been the marque to beat in the highest tier of American rally competition for decades. Road & Track put a writer in the right-hand seat of the brand's top-category car, the seat where the navigator calls the stages, and says the view from there explains the record. We have not ridden in the car ourselves. For readers who follow the marque, and for those who keep its road cars, it is a reminder that Subaru's reputation in this country was earned on the stages, over many seasons.
The Bridge has no judges, awards no trophies and sells no tickets; you get in by invitation. The founders have set it up as a garden party for automobiles, on the ground where a celebrated racetrack once ran. They've said plainly that they don't want it to become one more concours. With nothing to win, the cars are there to be looked at for their own sake.
Ford's Mustang GT3 entries are running at Petit Le Mans in commemorative colors that honor the Sweepstakes, the car that started the company's racing history. The Sweepstakes is 125 years old, and the Mustangs are current GT3 machinery. That puts the first and the latest chapters of Ford's competition story on the same car for one race weekend. For owners and collectors who follow provenance as closely as lap times, it is a gesture worth noticing: a manufacturer bringing its origin to the track in front of the crowd.
Nearly three years after Chevrolet built its last Camaro, one more is going to work for the California Highway Patrol. It will be the Camaro that closes out the patrol's roster, and it is fitted out and waiting to go into service. The patrol has not said which part of the state it will cover. Even so, the Camaro badge still has one new assignment ahead of it on California's roads.
A new photo gallery shows the 1976 Volvo 264GL inside and out. The camera goes all the way around the car and into the cabin, so no side of it is left out. For an owner checking their own example against a reference, or a collector learning what this model year looks like, a complete set of images like this is useful to keep. It's worth bookmarking before your next look at a 264GL, whether that's in a garage in Naples or a driveway in Colorado.
Car and Driver has road-tested the 1976 Volvo 264GL, a sedan built to be judged against the most established names among luxury cars. For collectors of the period, that goal defines the car. The magazine's test takes the 264GL on those terms, measuring it against the best of the class it set out to join. For owners who follow the moments when a marque aims higher, the 264GL marks one of Volvo's.
The Bridge's 2026 car show admitted its guests by invitation only, which is what makes a full photographic record of it worth your time. A new gallery from Car and Driver walks the show from all sides, so readers who weren't on the list can still study the cars at their own pace. For collectors, a gallery like this is about the details: the stance, the finish, and how each car sits among the others. For a moment, it opens the doors of a private event to everyone who cares about well-kept machines.
The land that once held Bridgehampton's racing circuit belongs to the automobile again. It now hosts a gathering of cars open only to invited guests, and it has quickly become one of the most elegant dates on the East End calendar. The engines are quieter now, and the cars are there to be admired rather than timed, on the same Long Island ground where they once ran at speed. For owners and collectors in the Hamptons, it is a local event: a room worth being asked into, a short drive from home.
The Viking most people picture comes from the painters of the 1800s, not from the Norse raiders themselves. That image has horns on the helmet, a spear in hand, metal armor on the chest and fur across the shoulders. For a collector standing in front of a Norse scene from that century, the costume shows how artists of the period imagined the North. It is not a record of how its warriors actually dressed.
Untitled Art is back in Houston, opening October 2 and closing October 4. There are 95 exhibiting galleries on the roster, and together they come from 20 countries and territories. That means a visitor in Texas can see dealers from across much of the world without leaving the city. The fair lasts only three days, so collectors who plan to go should mark the dates now. Because it is a return engagement, the fair has now been held in Houston more than once, which suggests it has found a place there.
A drawing whose author had been unknown has now been attributed to Édouard Manet from the first years of his career. The sheet is worked in sanguine, the rust-red chalk artists have long used for studies from life. It may have been made in preparation for a canvas Manet began but never completed. For collectors in New York and beyond, a new name on a drawing like this changes how the sheet is read: it becomes a glimpse of a painter planning a picture that never reached its final form.
A Rembrandt that sold at Sotheby's last December now has a known owner. The painting is St John on Patmos, and the buyer was Thomas Kaplan, the collector behind the Leiden Collection. The hammer figure was $18 million. It is his eighteenth work by the Dutch master, a count that puts one name alongside a run of paintings by a single artist in a way that few private collections can match. The subject shows the evangelist on the island of Patmos, the setting traditionally tied to the writing of Revelation. For readers who follow the Old Master market, the news is less the price than the answer to who stood behind the paddle, and that the picture has joined a collection built around one of painting's most studied names.
Amant has a new exhibition, "Sentient Earth," and Tobi Maier, who leads curatorial work at the institution, is steering it. The show is about climate change. Its approach is to turn the kind of scrutiny usually associated with the corporate world toward the planet. Maier has been frank about the thinking behind it: the conversation built around the idea of the Anthropocene has had its moment, and Maier believes most people can already sense that. For anyone who follows how institutions choose their subjects, a curator stating a clear position this early is worth noticing. "Sentient Earth" sets out to find a new way of talking about the climate.
Bonhams is offering an Apple-1 that still works, and it bears Steve Wozniak's signature. The house has put the computer's potential result at as much as $800,000. By Bonhams' count, under 75 authenticated Apple-1 machines survive, and only some of those can still be switched on and run. That is why the machine matters to collectors. Most early computers survive, when they survive at all, as objects to look at. This one is still a working instrument. The signature ties it to a single name, and the fact that it runs ties it to how it was meant to be used. For a reader who follows what changes hands, a known number of survivors helps set a price. A smaller group within that number, the ones that still work, can set it again.
Ann Temkin is leaving her post at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and her departure is not a retirement. Her move opens a position that carries real weight across modern and contemporary art, and it is one of the most closely watched seats in the field. For collectors and gallerists in New York and beyond, who holds that desk at MoMA next is news worth following.
Works by David Drake, the enslaved American potter, have left the Milwaukee Art Museum and gone to his family. The Dave the Potter Legacy Trust arranged the transfer between the institution and the potter's descendants. It is unusual in American collecting for objects of this kind to move from a museum's holdings back to the family of the person who made them. The wire report gives no count of the pots and no terms of the arrangement, and we won't guess at either.
Artistic Tile, a high-end house still in family hands, now offers a made-to-order service called Tailor To Shop. It combines a full range of in-house cutting and finishing work with a large archive of materials. A client picks from that archive and ends up with a surface made for their own room, not chosen from a stock catalog. For readers who furnish homes in Palm Beach, Aspen or the Hamptons, the appeal is easy to see: the floor and walls get the same care as the pieces set against them.
In rural Connecticut, a house built in the 1920s has been furnished for today without losing sight of its age. The designer and the owners started out with the same instincts, and a shared fondness for both antique and contemporary pieces set the course for the rooms. As Veranda presents it, the house reads as the work of one point of view, not a compromise between two. The record names no architect, address or price here. The story is how closely the designer and owners agreed, and the house that came of it.
Before company comes to stay, the people who design interiors and the people who run fine hotels both go through the same kind of checklist, and they have shared what is on it. It isn't about a new rug or a fresh coat of paint. It is the small, practical preparation a houseguest notices within minutes of setting down a bag. In an American house, whether it's a shingled cottage or a Mediterranean villa, the room kept for company is where a host's care shows most plainly, and these professionals treat that care as a set of habits, not a gesture.
For a growing number of college students, the first room anyone designs for them is a residence hall room. Painstaking decoration has moved from optional to nearly expected, and many students now treat a finished, considered space as part of how they settle into campus life. The poster pinned to cinderblock is giving way to rooms planned with the same care as a home. The house has always been the first place a family's taste shows, and this autumn some of that taste is moving into campus housing.
Veranda has gathered seven techniques that designers rely on to give a compact room the look of a far costlier one. The idea is simple: a limited footprint does not require a lesser standard of taste. The same holds whether the room is a Manhattan pied-à-terre or a guest cottage behind a house in Palm Beach, where a small room is often the one that gets the most careful attention. Good design is judged by how well a room is done, and square footage has little to do with that.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts, house where Julia Child lived for many years is now on the market, with an asking price just short of $6.5 million. Few American houses are known to so many people who have never been inside them. Television made this one familiar, and a generation of viewers came to know its rooms from the screen. The price is the asking figure on the listing. It is not a sale price, and the house has not sold. There is one clear limit on the offer: whoever buys the house should not expect to cook in Child's own kitchen. Some houses are sold on their square footage and some on their setting. This one is also being sold on the name of the person who lived there, and on a public life that was partly lived inside it.
Veranda has put together a list of 27 upscale Christmas decorations for readers who want the holidays to look as considered as the rest of the house. The list runs from hung stockings and tied ribbon to older, pre-owned ornaments and pieces made by hand. The point isn't more decoration. It's choosing pieces that belong in rooms already furnished with care. A good house can take a mantel dressed for Christmas and still look like itself.
Veranda has put together a list of twenty-two gifts, all of them available on Amazon, and taken as a set they describe a house more than a shopping cart. The picks run from candles and cooking pieces for the kitchen to throws for the sofa, and at the most ambitious end, an oven for making pizza outdoors. What this desk notices is the setting: these are gifts for the table, the living room and the back lawn, meant to be used at home. The list as reported gives no prices, so we won't guess at any.
Airlines and hotels keep adding pricier seats and suites, but Carnival Cruise Line is going the other way. It is building for households that can drive to their port and for families where grandparents, parents and children all travel together. It is also changing how dinner works on board, with a quicker meal for a table that may run across three generations. Here the good table isn't an expensive one. It's the one where everybody fits and nobody waits too long for dessert.
The people running Hilton, Hyatt, Accor, Wyndham and Banyan Group share one view of artificial intelligence: it should help the people who run a hotel do their work better. They differ on how to bring it in, with approaches that run from voice agents to a digital version of Hyatt's chief executive. For anyone who judges a hotel by the person behind the desk, whether in New York or Palm Beach, that shared view is the part to notice. The people stay at the center, and the tools are meant to support them.
Brian Chesky, Airbnb's chief executive, has eased up on a belief he once held firmly: that every experience offered on the platform had to be singular, something a guest could not find anywhere else. Speaking about hotels, cars and flights, he described having to let go of a fixed set of convictions about what the company should be. He said little about experiences specifically, but the change there points the same way, toward a more open view than his earlier rules allowed. Travelers who plan a trip around where they stay and what they do once they arrive will notice this change of heart from the person who runs the company.
The animal kingdom has been set in precious materials, one creature after another, in a just-released line of fine jewelry that treats wildlife as a serious place to put one's money. It is the kind of piece that earns a second look across the table at lunch, where the talk turns quickly to who made it. For collectors who already know the difference between a trinket and an heirloom, the argument for a well-made beast needs little persuading.
Ten years on, "Moonlight" is back in cinemas, with screenings beginning Friday, October 2. It's a welcome chance for anyone who first watched it at home, or who just wants to see it again as it was meant to be seen, in the dark with a full house. Barry Jenkins has been looking back on the film in a new conversation with Vanity Fair, and he talks about how much it still means to him a decade later. The timing suits the island well: early October, before the season fills every evening, leaves room for a quiet night at the movies.
Taylor Swift walked the red carpet at the 2026 VMAs with diamonds on her hand, and one ring in particular was the one everyone looked for: her new wedding band, seen in public for one of the first times. The dress from the wedding itself is still being kept private, so on the carpet the band was the only part of the marriage on view. Anyone who has watched a room turn toward a newly married guest's left hand knows it was worth the wait.
Kenny Chesney recently marked the arrival of Silver Sands Marina, his twenty-first studio album, with a show in Nashville to launch it. Twenty-one records is a long body of work in any genre, and he chose this city for the night that introduced the newest one. The title reads like somewhere far from Middle Tennessee, but its first celebration took place here. For a town that measures careers in albums finished and released, that is the part worth noting.
The Gulf Coast Jam has named every act for its 2027 edition, which will mark the festival's fifteenth year. Jon Pardi, Warren Zeiders and Tucker Wetmore are among the artists booked. The festival will take place in June, so anyone who plans a summer around country music now has the whole bill to work from. Reaching fifteen years is a real milestone for a festival, and a complete lineup this early gives fans plenty of time to plan the trip south.
TASTE: The New Old Fashioned is on the calendar for Sunday, October 18. The name is the draw here. It takes the most classic order at any bar and puts the word "new" in front of it, which suggests an evening that respects tradition without being bound by it. A Sunday in mid-October is a good slot for that kind of occasion in this city. The rest of the details are still to come, but the date is worth keeping open now.
Potions and Paws is set for the evening of Thursday, October 22, 2026, a date worth marking now, with the season's invitations starting to pile up. Nashville's late October fills quickly, and a Thursday this close to the end of the month tends to get claimed early. For now the name is the best clue to what the night holds, and it's a charming one. Details beyond the date are still to come, and we'll pass them along when they're out.
Alive Hospice has picked the Bluebird Café as the honoree of its first Alive and Legacy Breakfast. The organization is the sole nonprofit hospice serving Middle Tennessee. As a first edition, the breakfast is starting a tradition, and the Bluebird is the first name that tradition has chosen to recognize. In a town that measures itself by its songs, it is fitting to see one charity choose to honor the room where so many of those songs were first heard.
Riley Green has put 2027 on the calendar. The artist will tour next year under the name "That's Just Me Tour," with twenty-nine dates planned. Twenty-nine shows is a full working season: enough nights to build a real tour around, and few enough that each stop still counts. The name is plain and confident, with no spectacle promised in it, just a statement of who will be walking out on stage. The cities haven't been published yet. Readers here will want to know whether Nashville makes the list, but that isn't ours to say until the dates are out. So far we have the name of the tour, the year and the number of shows.
The ninth annual Nashville Songwriter Awards closed last week, and NSAI didn't let the evening end at the final award. An after party followed, giving the people who write the songs a little more time together. In a town where the credits on the page count for as much as the name on the marquee, it makes sense that the association chose to keep celebrating. The spotlight usually goes to the singer, but that night belonged to the writers.
Victor Glover, the first Black astronaut to travel to the Moon, has signed with CAA, according to Variety. The agency will represent him across every area of his work. Glover retired from the U.S. Navy as a captain and flew for NASA as an astronaut. Variety reported that he set more than one historic mark over the course of that career.
Television producer Chuck Lorre has written a memoir called "Sitcom," and he discussed it in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Lorre, who is also known for his charitable giving, said he started the book expecting to expose the industry's hidden stories, and found the project turned out differently than he had planned. In the same conversation he talked about the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. He also talked about a spin-off of "The Big Bang Theory," and said fear has pushed him to do the work.
Amazon's Prime Video has ordered a sixth season of "Reacher," the action drama starring Alan Ritchson. The order came while the fifth season is still being made and before it has premiered. The decision gives the show at least one more season on the streaming service after the one now being filmed.
Prime Video has ordered a sixth season of "Reacher." The streaming service made the decision shortly after the series finished airing its fourth season. It is the latest in a line of renewals for the show that came well before the network was required to decide. In an industry town like this one, a renewal ordered this early means the cast and crew have their next season secured.
Variety has published its picks for the strongest celebrity memoirs of 2026. Books by Sylvester Stallone, Ari Emmanuel and Lena Dunham are among those named. According to the publication, writing a memoir has become a milestone for Hollywood figures, and for many of them it is the first time they have told their life story themselves. For readers in Beverly Hills, near the studios where much of this work is made, the list is a guide to the industry as its own people describe it.
Disney and Columbia Sportswear have extended their work together with a new line built around Mickey Mouse, according to Variety. The line is called "Mickey's Outdoor Club," and it puts Disney's best-known character on outdoor clothing from the Oregon-based brand. With it, the character becomes part of Columbia's hiking and outdoor range. Readers in Beverly Hills who head for the canyon trails on weekends now have a Disney-branded choice from a company known for gear made for the outdoors.
Paramount+ has released a trailer for the fourth season of "Tulsa King," and Sylvester Stallone returns to lead the series. The preview is the first footage viewers have seen from the upcoming season. A fourth season means the streamer has renewed the show for another run, with Stallone again at its center. For viewers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles, where much of the entertainment business is based, the trailer confirms the series is coming back.
Abby Lee Miller and Cathy Nesbitt, both known to viewers from "Dance Moms," are working together again on a new short-form program for the streaming service ShortVydz. Kailyn Lowry, whose television credits include "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom 2," leads a separate title on the same service, "Crashing Out With Kail." Both programs are scheduled to premiere in October. For viewers in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles, the releases put two reality television names on a service built around brief episodes.
Elle has ranked ten sets of heated rollers, a vanity-table tool from an earlier generation that turns out to still work. Heated rollers set a curl quickly and add lift at the crown. That makes them a practical choice for a Palm Beach luncheon or a Beverly Hills evening, when there isn't time for a full blowout. Around here, the old methods usually earned their place, and this one has earned it again.
Bella Hadid, Alex Consani and Alexa Chung have each been photographed with the same handbag from Staud. That's three separate women making the same choice, and this archive is built to notice when that happens. The report doesn't say when or where the bag appeared, so we won't guess. From New York to Los Angeles, it's now a Staud to keep an eye out for on the next well-dressed arm.
Harper's Bazaar calls the airy, Paris-style bang the most flattering change you can make to your hair this season, and it names Dakota Johnson and Taylor Swift as proof. The cut is light rather than blunt, and it is meant to frame the face without hiding it. The magazine also covers how to wear it well enough that it becomes your look, not just a phase. For anyone booking a fall appointment from Palm Beach to Manhattan, it is a good question to bring to the chair.
Elle has put together a list of fragrances it calls compliment-magnets: scents strong enough that a stranger might ask you what you're wearing. The magazine offers them as candidates for a signature scent, the one you keep coming back to. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, that's the kind of question a well-chosen scent tends to get at a gala or a garden lunch.
Mark the calendar: Connor Storrie's science-fiction feature, April X, opens in cinemas on October 2. The picture was made before Heated Rivalry, so audiences will meet it slightly out of order, with the earlier work arriving after the later one. For a desk that files everything by designer, year and occasion, that order is the detail worth noting: the film was shot first and reaches the screen now. The archive has a new date to keep.
At Vogue, the shopping market editor put the rounded, bowed-out jean through a proper fitting and came back with her own shortlist for 2026. Her picks run from classic indigo to pale, near-white finishes, and from a gentle outward bend to a curve that makes no apology for itself. That range is what matters to anyone who has pulled on a pair that swallowed them whole. A trouser this sculptural lives or dies on proportion, and an editor's try-on is the honest place to start, whether the jean is headed for a Hamptons Saturday or a Manhattan Monday.
Vogue has named the four ingredients it rates highest for body care, all picked to leave skin tighter and more even. The idea is that they speed up how quickly skin renews itself. That helps with the thin, papery look that can appear on arms and legs, and with patches that feel rough. For a reader dressing for an evening in Palm Beach or a gallery night in New York, it's the prep that happens before the gown comes out of the garment bag.
There's a new name in nail care: the "facelift" manicure, a treatment people are talking about well beyond the salon chair. Manicurist Marisa Carmichael has given her professional take on it, and she's exactly the kind of voice you want to hear before booking. From a Palm Beach lunch to a Beverly Hills premiere, the hands get noticed almost as soon as the gown does, so a technique with a name this bold deserves an expert's review.
New York Fashion Week has a new leader on the scoreboard, and it's Tommy Hilfiger. The brand topped the week with $58 million in media impact value, the industry's measure of how much attention a show earns once it leaves the room. The telling part is where that attention came from: close to nine-tenths of the total was earned on social media, not in print or on broadcast. The house built its presence around talent drawn from several markets, so the show was made to reach audiences well beyond Manhattan. It also told its story in the formats people scroll through first, rather than adding them afterward. For a week that has always been judged by who sits in the front row, the result says the audience holding a phone now counts as much as the one in the seats. It also means a New York runway can still set the global conversation when a brand plans for everyone watching from far away. That's a well-run week, and it ended in first place.
A round brush that heats itself is putting salon-style volume within reach at home, and the finish has real lift and swing. The appeal is speed: a full, polished blow-dry with no appointment and no stylist, before you leave for the evening. From a Palm Beach powder room to a Beverly Hills dressing table, that kind of shape usually takes a salon chair or a professional's hands. Now it takes a single tool and not much time.
Andrew Rademacher, who founded the outdoor shoe label Lems, is betting on footwear that gives the toes more space. He expects shoes built with a roomier forefoot to keep gaining ground, and the company's newest pair, a shoe made for running, uses that same generous shape. An archive that usually watches what arrives on a red carpet can still enjoy a reminder that a silhouette starts from the ground up. Anyone logging morning miles, from a Palm Beach seawall to an Aspen trail, has a new shape to consider.
Lems, the outdoors footwear label founded by Andrew Rademacher, now makes a running shoe. Rademacher is betting that shoes with more space at the front, where the toes can spread instead of being squeezed, are where his business will grow. The new running shoe is built on that same generous shape. At an archive that usually measures shoes by heel height, it's refreshing to see a shoe where the width at the front is the whole story.
Elle has picked seven serums meant to go on at bedtime and show up on your face in the morning. The list is built to be broad: oily or dry, sensitive or stubborn, each complexion gets its own bottle. The idea is simple. Put in the effort before bed, and you walk out the next morning, whether to a Worth Avenue lunch or a Beverly Hills photo call, with skin that looks lit from within. A good look starts long before the gown goes on, and this one starts on the pillow.
No one training horses in North America has earned more this year than Brad Cox, whose barn's purse earnings have now passed $26.8 million. It's a figure built one race at a time, and it puts Cox at the top of the continent's standings. He was the featured trainer in the latest Down the Shedrow, the OBS-sponsored series that visits the barn area, and his stable gave the segment plenty of well-known horses to show. For readers who follow the sport from the sales ring through to the winner's circle, a visit to the barn with the most earnings in the country is well worth their time.
Jim Gagliano will step down from The Jockey Club on the first day of 2027. He holds two roles there, president and chief operating officer, and he will leave both. Everett R. Dobson, the organization's chair, made the announcement. The date gives the Thoroughbred world just over three months to prepare for new leadership in one of American racing's central offices.
VideoWhen Catherine got engaged, she had already chosen her dressmaker: Molly Klemm, a friend from their high school days. Klemm makes costumes for the stage and for period dress. The gown she ma
A one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn Heights is on the market at $765,000, and its casement windows are its selling point. A casement is hinged at the side and swings open like a door, which makes it a different thing to live with than a sash that slides up and down. In a one-bedroom there are only a few openings to judge a place by, so the windows count for more than they would in a larger home. At this price, in this neighborhood, a buyer would want to see them before anything else. Across the East River in the West Village, a second one-bedroom is laid out as a duplex, and each of its two floors has its own bath. That is an unusual arrangement for a single bedroom. Nobody has to use the stairs to reach a bathroom, and whichever floor guests are on, they have one to themselves.
The shoot at the Litchfield Inn in Connecticut was an editorial, not a wedding. It was a styled study of what a wedding in the quiet-luxury manner could look like. For several years that phrase has come to mean paler and paler rooms, with oatmeal linen, beige on beige and restraint as the whole point. This shoot kept the restraint and did not accept the beige. The flowers carried the day, and every other choice in the frame stepped back to let them lead. Even without an actual couple, the pictures made a quiet argument: a room can be refined without being colorless.
When Catherine got engaged, she had already chosen her dressmaker: Molly Klemm, a friend from their high school days. Klemm makes costumes for the stage and for period dress. The gown she made was a ballgown, and it was blue rather than the expected white. Catherine wore it at her wedding in Virginia, which the couple organized around a murder mystery theme. A dress like that shows the skills of someone used to building clothes for theater and for earlier centuries. It also shows how long the two women have known each other. The dressmaker was settled on the day of the engagement, before any other plan for the wedding had been made.
A winter wedding at The Willard InterContinental was planned around a strict palette of black and white. For a bride choosing a cold-weather date, a two-tone scheme makes several choices at once: the dress, the linens, the florals and what guests should wear. The coverage runs in the order a planner would work through the day: getting ready, then bridal portraits, then flat lays of the details. That is also a good way to check whether a palette holds up, from the morning's first frame to the smallest object on the table.
Ginny and Gordon married at the Country Club of Detroit, the same club where the two went out together for the first time. That makes the venue decision the useful part of this story. They didn't choose it by comparing ballrooms and price sheets. They chose it because it already meant something to them, and a couple with a place like that has most of the venue search behind them. The dress code was black tie, which set the tone for every guest before they arrived. The styling took its cue from Nancy Meyers, the filmmaker whose name has become shorthand for a certain kind of polished, lived-in comfort. Pairing black tie with that reference points to a formal evening that stays warm rather than stiff. Photographer Liz Banfield, a member of the Little Black Book, covered the wedding from start to finish.
Anyone with the Dolphins on in the library tonight should not expect to spot Taylor Swift among the crowd, since by all indications she has passed on the Chiefs matchup. She is expected at the VMAs instead. On the island, that is a familiar kind of evening: two good invitations for the same night, and she chose the one built around music.
Ella Langley is a 2026 MTV Video Music Awards winner. The trophies were handed out Sunday night, September 27, and her name was on the list. Nashville's music trade had the news first thing this morning. It's a good way to start a week in this town.
Pure American Country now has a host for the long run, and his name is Zack Bennett. The job is his to keep, with no interim or fill-in label attached. The show airs once a week and is carried by stations across the country, so every episode reaches well beyond any one market. In a town that listens closely to whoever is introducing the songs, this appointment gives the program a steady voice.
Before the year is out, the Grand Ole Opry will give a single evening to the artists it has picked as the ones to watch. The show is called "Opry NextStage Live," and its lineup is the 2026 NextStage group, a set of newcomers the Opry has named as country music's most promising. In Nashville that circle is the one the industry keeps an eye on, because it tends to show where the business is heading. On a December night the Opry will put all of them on its stage together, which is how this town tells people to learn a name early.
Singer's Firefly Commission starts from a 964-generation Porsche 911. It now makes 710 horsepower and has a top speed of 218 miles per hour. The auction estimate runs close to $4 million, which tells you what serious collectors now think careful, obsessive rebuilding is worth. In Miami, a car like this would be judged by how it sounds leaving a valet stand. In Palm Beach, people would talk about the provenance. In Naples, they would quietly check the torque figures before lunch. All three would be right to take it seriously. The 964 is an older 911 shape, and very few people would expect 710 horsepower from it. The Firefly Commission combines that familiar silhouette with modern power. The Florida driver who ends up with it will have a car that is both a piece of history and a very capable machine, and the price shows respect for the work that went into it.
In Beverly Hills, IMA ART Fertility treats both fertility care and surrogacy as custom work, shaped around each patient. The practice is built so that the same people stay with a family from start to finish, the process remains private, and someone is watching every step. For readers used to Palm Beach, where privacy is simply expected, that may sound familiar. Here it is set up on purpose, as a way of caring for people during one of the most personal undertakings there is.
Diana Jenkins, who appeared on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," has put her house in Hidden Hills on the market at $23 million. It has seven bedrooms, and she has lived there for close to five years. Five years is long enough for a house to stop being an acquisition and become a home, and a sale after that long tends to be a thoughtful one. Readers here know the California map the way Los Angeles readers know ours. Hidden Hills is its own address, set apart from Beverly Hills much as Naples is from Miami, or Palm Beach from nearly everywhere. A seven-bedroom house in any of those towns tells you the same thing: it was built for family, guests and full tables. At $23 million, the next owner is buying room to entertain in one of Southern California's most closely watched ZIP codes.
Buying the watch is the part everyone talks about. What comes next gets less attention: the gear that serious collectors actually use once the piece is theirs. That second stage is the subject of a new edition of Robb Report's weekly watch newsletter, which looks at the accessories dedicated owners reach for rather than the ones that sit in a drawer. The watch is only the start. Looking after it is a craft in its own right, whether it goes on for a Worth Avenue lunch, a Miami evening or a Saturday in Naples.
Hilton has a new plan for its Home2 Suites brand: a hotel built from the ground up to produce no emissions. The company says a property built this way could spend as much as 40 percent less on power. No one is required to use it. Building to the new plan is a choice, not a rule. Jean Garris Hand, who leads sustainability at Hilton, expects the savings to be the main draw, since high power costs give anyone planning a new property a simple reason to pick this version. For a traveler, it means the same Home2 Suites stay, only in a building designed to run cleaner and cost less to keep lit.
L Catterton, a consumer investment firm with $40 billion behind it, is putting more of that capital into travel. The firm has built its business on backing what people buy, and it is now betting on where they go and how they spend their free time. For readers who plan a year around a table worth flying to and a room worth staying in, that shift is worth noticing. When an investor of that size moves toward leisure, it is a vote of confidence in the trip itself: the booking, the arrival, the hours spent somewhere chosen with care.
Janine Antoni's photograph *Taste of Vision*, made in 1999, now fronts ARTnews's issue devoted to icons. The magazine gives the artist room to talk about the picture in her own terms. For collectors who follow photography from the late 1990s, it is a chance to hear directly from the artist about one of her works, a quarter century after she made it. When a magazine gives a single image its cover, it is saying the work has earned a place in the conversation about what lasts.
Google hosted a celebration on New York's High Line for "Unfinished Projects," a presentation of personal work by Solange Knowles, PinkPantheress and Joe Burrow. The three names rarely turn up in the same sentence, and that difference seems to be the point: each contributor brought a pursuit of their own, and none of them was presented as finished. The pairing of a technology company with work that is openly still in progress stands out on a stretch of Manhattan where people usually come to see things complete. For readers who follow what gets made and shown in this city, seeing something before it is done is its own privilege.
The first trailer for "Rose," starring Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller, has been released, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In the film, Hüller plays a woman in the 1600s whose past is not fully revealed. Her character builds a new life while passing as a man in military service. The film's director spoke highly of her work in the role, The Hollywood Reporter reported. The trailer is the first footage from the film to be shown to the public.
The studio David Ellison is building from Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery does not yet have a name. Joining the two existing names into one long title is not expected to be the answer, so the name is still an open question. Both companies are part of Hollywood's film and television industry, and the name chosen will be the one the combined company carries in Los Angeles.
Viewers here will be able to stream "Don't Look Back in Anger," the new Oasis documentary, on Hulu and Disney+. According to the report, the release date for both services has been set. The film follows Noel and Liam Gallagher as they return to the stage together, 15 years after they last performed side by side. Hulu subscribers and Disney+ subscribers will both have access to it at home.
“Minions & Monsters” begins streaming on Peacock on Oct. 28, according to Variety Film. The animated feature is the seventh film in the “Despicable Me” series. It opened in theaters on July 1, so Beverly Hills households that missed it on the big screen will be able to watch it at home. The film features an ensemble of voice actors.
"Minions & Monsters," the seventh film in the "Despicable Me" series, will begin streaming on Peacock on Oct. 28. The film opened in movie theaters on July 1, so it will reach the streaming service nearly four months after its theatrical debut. Beverly Hills viewers who missed it on the big screen, or who want to see it again, will be able to watch it at home with a Peacock subscription. The film features an ensemble of voice performers. Peacock has not been reported to have announced any additional viewing details.
NBC is marking its 100th year, and NBCUniversal is using the milestone to attract advertisers to a series of major programming events, according to Variety. The company plans to expand the sponsorship approach it built for the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live" in 2025. Viewers who tune in for the network's centennial events can expect new advertising to be part of the celebration.
Episodes of the Australian serial "Neighbours" that feature Margot Robbie will be re-edited for viewing on phones, according to Variety. RoseBerry Media is doing the editing, turning the series into brief episodes framed upright for its streaming service, Epis, which it styles in lowercase as "epis." The Robbie episodes are the first to go through the process. Variety has not reported a release date, and the report does not say which episodes are included.
Netflix has cast Daisy Jelley and Connor Simos in the starring roles of "Icebreaker," a series adapted from Hannah Grace's novel. The book is a love story set in the world of hockey and has been a bestseller. Alex Cooper's company, Unwell Productions, is producing the series. For the book's readers, the casting shows for the first time who will play its two central characters on screen.
Flying reports on four airports owned by colleges and universities, each one serving both its own history and the job of training new pilots today. For owners used to dealing with a county authority or a municipal airport board, a school as the owner of record is a different kind of arrangement, and one worth knowing about. The item doesn't name the four fields or their locations, so we won't either. The central point is simple: at these airports, the institution running the field also treats it as a classroom.
A 1973 Grumman American AA-5 Traveler is up for sale with an upgraded engine that has logged relatively few hours since its last overhaul, and a Garmin GPS approved for instrument flight. It has one piston engine, and for this airplane that's the point. An owner who is used to turbine hours and maintenance programs needs to look at only two things here: how much time the engine has left before its next overhaul, and whether the panel can handle an instrument clearance. Flying's marketplace editors picked it as a practical airplane for regular short trips, the kind you'd rather not put on the jet's logbook.
Singer built the Firefly Commission from a Porsche 911 of the 964 generation. It makes 710 horsepower and reaches 218 miles per hour. Those are the two numbers any 911 owner will stop on. The car is still recognizably a 964, and those figures are what set it apart. The car is going to auction, and Robb Report Motors says it could sell for close to $4 million. That is the publication's forecast, not a sale price, and we will report the actual result once the car sells. Until then, the Firefly Commission is a one-off Singer build on a well-loved 911, and the numbers above are what we know about it.
The Chronographe Mystérieux has a stopwatch function built in, but nothing on the face gives it away. At first glance it reads as a plain, simple timepiece, and the timing function is the part you only find if you know it's there. For owners who time their laps, from a club day in Florida to a mountain drive in Colorado, a stopwatch that stays out of sight until it's needed is a clever idea. This one is all craft and no show.
Subaru will build commemorative versions of both the WRX and the BRZ for the 2027 model year, one for each car's milestone. The WRX has now been on sale in the United States for a quarter century. The BRZ reaches fifteen years. Owners who keep build sheets and model-year records now have a 2027 edition to track alongside the rest of each car's history.
A 1965 Mustang has been rebuilt in the image of Shelby's GT350 and turned into a roadster with room for only two, and it is now listed on Bring a Trailer. The listing describes it as an OVC car. Because it is being offered through the online auction site, collectors anywhere in the country can bid on it. For readers who know how the early Mustang and the GT350 set each other up, this car shows one builder's idea of how the pairing might have looked as an open car.
Performance tuning now runs largely through software, and the people chasing more horsepower do much of their work on a screen instead of at the bench. The goal hasn't changed. Getting more power still depends on how well an engine moves air in and out. For owners in our garages who care about how their cars are built, that is the part worth noticing: the tools are new, but the principle behind them is the one that has always made an engine run stronger.
A Chevrolet Camaro was the car everyone talked about at Tennessee's Overmountain Rally, and the reason was what it lacked. It ran on the suspension it left the factory with, not a purpose-built rally setup. Under the hood were four cylinders, not the big engine the Camaro name usually brings to mind. Built that way, it reached the finish of an event ranked among the hardest on this season's calendar. That's the part worth noticing for anyone who keeps a Camaro in the garage. A car built much like theirs took on one of the year's roughest rallies and made it to the end. The success came in Tennessee, and it belongs to an American car.
For the owner about to trade in a car at the dealership, the effort put in beforehand can decide what the car brings. Car and Driver has set out a series of steps for sellers who want the strongest possible return when an outgoing car goes toward the next one. For our readers, the trade-in is how one chapter of ownership ends and another begins, and ending it well is part of caring for a car. Anyone headed to the showroom soon should read the guidance before settling on a number.
Lexus has put its new electric SUV with a third row into the family's lead position. The 2027 TZ is now due before the related electric SUVs of the same size from Toyota and Subaru. Its opening price falls short of $65,000. The TZ450e version makes 308 horsepower and is rated to cover as much as 315 miles on a charge. For an owner in Colorado or Florida deciding whether an electric car can serve as the main family car, this is the figure to consider: more than three hundred miles of range in a Lexus with a third row of seats, at a price that starts under $65,000. Reaching showrooms before the Toyota and Subaru versions also means the Lexus badge will be the first American drivers see on this new electric SUV.
Volkswagen's battery-powered crossover is getting a new identity. The ID.Tiguan will take the place of the ID.4, putting the Tiguan name on the brand's ID electric family in place of a letter-and-digit badge. Collectors who track model lines should note the handoff: the ID.4 steps aside, and the ID.Tiguan becomes the name to watch.
Belmont Cameli, of the series "Off Campus," fronts Reebok's Fall Classics campaign in two of the label's best-known silhouettes: the Workout Plus and the Club C 85 Vintage. The pairing speaks for itself. Both are clean, low-key court and gym shoes that have outlasted plenty of louder trends, and both are exactly what a fall wardrobe needs from a sneaker. His casting also puts a second famous face in front of the brand in about four weeks, following Reebok's news last month that Hilary Duff had signed on to represent it.
Model Kendall Visser has married Cully Smoller, who works in brand consulting, and she chose Danielle Frankel for her wedding dress. The ceremony took place in the Idaho countryside, at a house her family keeps for getaways, not at a city ballroom or a destination resort. The detail this desk will be filing for years sits at the bottom of the dress. Visser had planned to wear Manolo Blahniks, then switched to cowboy boots just before the ceremony. Danielle Frankel's name is a bridal name, and boots are what you wear on land that isn't paved. Putting the two together tells you a lot about the day: a serious gown worn in a place where the ground gets a say. A pair of Manolos would have suited the dress. The boots suited the setting, and in Idaho that turned out to count for more. It's a switch made late but not carelessly, and it's the kind of choice a bride tends to remember fondly. For the archive: Danielle Frankel, cowboy boots, a family property in Idaho, and one last-minute change of shoes that made the look.
You can put a whole trip together yourself from a phone in an afternoon, and Elle's point is that you don't have to. Letting a travel professional handle the arrangements has become a stylish choice again. For a reader packing for a winter in Palm Beach or a long weekend in Aspen, it can be as easy as handing someone else the details and saving your own attention for the wardrobe. At this desk we've always thought the people who plan well deserve some credit, whether they're cutting a gown or putting together a week away.
At the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, translucent fabric was the evening's clearest theme, and the arrivals line showed just how many ways it can be done. Taylor Swift and Teyana Taylor were among the names who chose see-through dressing, with Tamara Ralph and Zuhair Murad among the houses behind the looks. Both designers are known for couture-level construction, where fabric that shows the body has to be precisely cut to look intentional rather than exposed. For an archive that tracks who wore what, and when, this ceremony goes in the files as the year the VMAs arrivals were about what the fabric let through.
The designer and the brand with three stripes have put out a second collection together this year. This one is built on a pair of Megaride sneaker designs, and it takes its toughness straight from the 1990s. It arrives a few months after their June collaboration, which was made for soccer's biggest tournament. Two releases in one year makes this a working partnership, and a sneaker from a real partnership is one worth putting on the archive shelf.
Willy Chavarria and Adidas have a new collection out, and it looks back to the 1990s for its rougher edges. That attitude runs across two versions of the Megaride sneaker, so the same mood shows up in two different shapes. This is the second time this year the designer and the sportswear brand have released something together, after their June collection for the World Cup. For anyone keeping track, from a Miami sidewalk to a Manhattan crosswalk, summer's tournament pairing now has a follow-up built around a decade.
At the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Madonna went up to collect Artist of the Year and used the moment to look back at a heel that came off 42 years earlier. The shoe went missing during her 1984 performance of "Like a Virgin," a slip she said she was warned would finish her career. It didn't, and this year she came back to the stage as the night's honoree to say so. For this appearance she chose plain black pumps with no novelty and nothing loose. An archive that files looks by designer, year and occasion rarely gets a pair of entries this neat: the same performer, two dates, and a shoe in both. The 1984 stiletto is the one people remember. The 2026 pumps are the answer to it.
Luar, the New York label designed by Raul Lopez, now makes swimwear, and it gets there through a partnership with The Standard. For an archive that tracks who wore what and where, a new category from a designer's house is worth noting on the day it arrives. Swimwear asks different things of a label than a jacket or a gown does: the cut has to hold up in the water and on a lounge chair, and every seam shows. Luar has taken that on together with The Standard, and both names sit on the project. For New York readers it's a local label from their own city trying something new. The pieces are out now, and we'll be watching for the first time someone wears one.
Scarlett Johansson walked the "Paper Tiger" premiere at the 2026 New York Film Festival on Friday in Prada, in a dress cut with no sleeves. For the archive, the entry reads cleanly: designer Prada, year 2026, occasion the New York Film Festival premiere of "Paper Tiger." An Italian house dressed an American actress for a premiere at one of New York's own festivals. It's exactly the kind of New York carpet this archive was built to record.
At the 2026 VMAs, Taylor Swift showed up on the carpet with a lob, a length that stops around the collarbone. It was smoothed to a polished gloss, and the ends kicked outward with a bit of bounce. The long, relaxed waves she's worn lately are gone for now, and the neater, more graphic cut is the one to watch this season. It's an archive-worthy entry, and there's no bad angle on it.
The Valentino Garavani Rockstud Spike now carries Alessandro Michele's signature, and it is being presented as the house's newest style icon. The idea behind it is perspective: how a thing looks depends on where you stand. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, that makes it a piece to study from a few angles before you decide what it is saying. For an archive that tracks designer, year and occasion, it's a name worth noting now, before the first sighting.
Taylor Swift wore her wedding band at the VMAs, and this time it was easy to see. It picked up the light so well that the room seemed to sparkle along with it. A wedding band worn to an awards show is just the kind of detail this archive likes to record: what was worn, by whom, and where.
Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna left the VMAs with a trophy, taking the award for Best Collaboration for their song "Bring Your Love." The category is judged on the pairing as much as the record, and this one puts two pop names from different eras side by side. For a desk that files red carpets and crowns next to each other, a shared statuette gets the same careful note as a solo win: who won, what they won it for, and on which night.
Hildy Kuryk is now the acting chief executive of the CFDA, the body whose name puts American fashion design right in its title. She takes over after Steven Kolb stepped down from the council. For an archive that records who wore what and when, the people running fashion's institutions belong in the record next to the gowns, and this change goes in the book. The title is interim for now, but Kuryk is the name to note.
The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards were a night for the wardrobe as much as the trophies, and Taylor Swift, Teyana Taylor and Charli xcx were among the names who came ready to be looked at. The standout dressing covered a wide range, with dark, gothic looks at one end and the draped, divine air of a goddess at the other. Nobody arrived with half an effort, and the spread between shadow and radiance made the carpet worth studying one frame at a time. For an archive that keeps track of who wore what and when, this one goes in the file.
Vogue has named six trends for fall 2026, and the range between the two ends is wide: tailoring at one end, and at the other, evening clothes that look back to the geometry of the 1920s Deco era. Put another way, the same season covers what you wear to the meeting and what you wear once the meeting is over. For a reader in New York, the suit is a weekday question, answered well before the first cold snap. For a reader in Palm Beach or Beverly Hills, the Deco half makes more sense after dark, in a room that's already dressed for it. The season's list is short and its outer points are clear, and that makes it easy to shop from, with no guesswork needed.
Ghostzapper did not pile up starts. What he ran, he ran with real distinction, and a short list of races was enough to leave a lasting name on the American turf. His record argues that a racehorse can be measured by the quality of each start rather than by how many times he went to the post. Horsemen from the Florida winter barns to the New York backstretch will know that kind of horse: seldom seen, never forgotten.
America's Best Racing has put out a new edition of its rookie rankings, dated September 28, sizing up the young horses who could line up in the 2027 Kentucky Derby. The first Saturday in May 2027 is still a long way off, but a list like this is where the next Derby crop starts to take shape. For readers who follow American racing from the sales ring onward, it is an early chance to see which young horses are being talked about first.
The long-range seasonal forecasts are out, and they give an early answer to what everyone planning the coming months wants to know: what kind of winter to dress for. Depending on where you spend the season, that could mean heavy coats and cleared driveways, or rain and a light layer. For a household that divides its winter between an Aspen chalet, a New York apartment and a Palm Beach terrace, the question gets a different answer at each address. It helps to have these forecasts in hand before the invitations arrive and the trunks are packed.
VideoTalent agency UTA, which represents the Boston Globe, has begun fielding inquiries from Hollywood about adapting one of the paper's articles for film or television. The piece, about a lesbia
Three yards have new explorer yachts, and each one does something different. Numarine went for a classic, restrained profile that should still look right years from now. Van der Valk built a lounge at the stern, down at water level, where the deck meets the sea. Cantiere delle Marche designed for distance, with a range of 5,500 nautical miles. The announcement doesn't include lengths, naval architects or prices, so we don't give any here. For an owner looking at the horizon from a Florida dock, this is the choice these explorers lay out: how the boat looks, how you live on it close to the water, or how far it can go.
Taylor and Ben took their wedding out to the California desert and held it at the Merv Griffin Estate. They chose to push the look modern, and that decision matters for anyone considering the property. The estate's built character is Spanish and Moorish, and its grounds are lined with palms. A couple who wants a contemporary, art-led wedding there isn't starting from a blank room. They're working against a strong existing style. What makes this one worth studying is that they kept that architecture and set a modern design against it. For a bride weighing the estate, the takeaway is that the venue's Old World shell can work as the backdrop instead of the theme. The account of the day credits COJ Events by name, so that's the team to ask about how it came together.
Props For A Purpose now has an aircraft of its own, the first one the humanitarian organization has dedicated to its work. It chose a Tecnam P2012 Traveller, a twin. Owners will know the distinction the word "dedicated" carries: this airframe is meant to fly the organization's missions rather than fitting them in around other work. The organization says the twin will expand what it can do in disaster relief and transport, and that expanded capability is the purpose of the purchase.
Drake White will host the inaugural Loblolly Fest on Saturday, October 17, at The Bluff Amphitheater in Alabama. This is the festival's first year. It has a name, a date and a stage, and nothing else about it has been established yet. The venue is an open-air amphitheater, and in mid-October that means an evening outside, just as the Southern heat finally lets up. For readers here, the story is simple: an artist has put his own name on a new event and chosen the date and the stage himself. That takes some nerve, and we're glad to see it. We'll share the lineup and further details as they're announced.
Big Loud has hosted its AMERICANAFEST Showcase for the second year running. This year's edition was a partnership with Aviator. With a second year, the showcase is now an annual fixture on the festival calendar. The same week, Big Machine/Nashville Harbor and Songs Of U.S. were also on the festival's roster of industry names.
Tory Burch's Lee Radziwill handbag has settled among fashion's defining designer shapes, and its staying power comes down to the shape itself. A bag named for Lee Radziwill has a high standard to meet, and this one is judged, fairly, by how gracefully it carries that name. It's a good one to know about as the calendar turns toward the season and the right bag starts to matter again.
Melania Trump and Peng Liyuan walked through the galleries of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art together. One stop was the Peacock Room, where the Chinese porcelain is the main event. It's an American museum room built around a collection, and on this visit two first ladies came to look at what it holds. For readers who follow how fine pieces are shown and looked after, it was a reminder that a well-kept collection can still host guests of this rank.
One of Beverly Hills' best-known hotels has redone its dining rooms, and the change most worth a collector's attention is on the roof, where the new restaurant was designed by Marc Ange. It's rare to see a hotel restaurant credited by the designer's name. That credit puts the room in the same conversation as the furniture and interiors our readers follow. Downstairs, Chef Edo Baldi has opened a steakhouse cooked in the Tuscan tradition. So the house now has two rooms, each tied to a named hand: Baldi in the kitchen and Ange in the design of the space above. For anyone in Beverly Hills who tracks who makes what, a rooftop by a known designer is worth going up to see.
Bunny Williams and Elizabeth Lawrence have worked together on a hotel suite for the first time, a penthouse in Greenwich, Connecticut. The rooms are furnished largely with antiques, so the pieces themselves set the character of the space. This is also a hotel suite, so the result can be booked and stayed in rather than only admired from a photo spread. For readers who follow American interiors, a jointly designed Greenwich penthouse is worth a closer look.
As the season turns, a group of designers has named seven ways fall decorating can go wrong. One of them puts the answer in a single idea: the season should bring out more of a house's own character, not hide it under something borrowed for a few weeks. It's a notion that suits the American house, whose best rooms already say what they are. By that measure, the right autumn gesture adds warmth to what's already there instead of covering it up.
The Gordon Parks Foundation has opened an exhibition in New York to celebrate its twentieth year. Twenty years is a real run for any foundation, and this one is marking it with a show rather than a gala, with the work itself at the center. For readers who follow how the city's institutions are built and kept up, that is worth noting. New York gets the anniversary, and the exhibition is now open to visitors.
For the month of September, a Chinatown address in New York held a show called "Guest House: Welcome Home," given over entirely to the work of Zhou Xuerong. The host was The Wang Contemporary, a nonprofit arts space in the neighborhood. It was the first time an American institution had given the artist a show. For a desk that follows how houses change hands, a title that invites the visitor in and welcomes them home was reason enough to stop by and take note.
Travis Grimm started Travis Grimm Interiors in 2009, and he runs it from New York City. The firm does one kind of work: the rooms people live in. A studio in New York that designs only homes is working in the most demanding residential market in the country, where a client's apartment, townhouse or weekend place is often the most personal thing they own. The practice's reputation rests on polish and considered refinement, which is what a reader opening the door to one of its rooms would expect to find. By this fall the studio has been at it for seventeen years, a long run for a practice with the founder's name on the door.
The 2019 Disney and Marvel film "Avengers: Endgame" earned $26 million at North American theaters when it came back to screens, according to Variety Film. Overseas audiences added $60 million, and the film's worldwide total for the run came to $86 million. The North American figure is the share of that total from theaters in the United States and Canada. The same box office report showed "Heart of the Beast," the new film starring Brad Pitt, opening to $50 million worldwide. That puts a film first released in 2019 and a new Brad Pitt title on the same weekend ledger.
Chris Rock has a new film, "Misty Green." Rosalind Eleazar plays the title character, a fictional actress trying to rebuild her career in Hollywood after years in which her work had dwindled. The film treats her return with humor. Speaking to Variety, Rock said the effort to succeed that drives the story is not unique to the film business.
Anthony Russo, one of the directors of "Avengers: Doomsday," has spoken about how hard it is to take long-running Marvel heroes somewhere new. He said the filmmakers want the work to catch them off guard as well as the audience. He described it as a balance between the characters audiences already know and new directions for them. For readers who follow the film business closely here, his comments give a view of how the people making the film think about their job.
Taylor Swift premiered the music video for "Patient Zero" during Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards broadcast, according to Variety. The awards broadcast was the video's first public showing anywhere. "Patient Zero" is a single from Swift's release "Showgirl: Encore." Variety reported that the video presents the song as a tale about a ghost rather than as a romance.
Madonna won seven trophies at the MTV Video Music Awards, The Hollywood Reporter reported. Three of the seven were handed out while the ceremony was on the air. The other four were awarded outside the broadcast. Taylor Swift won Video of the Year. Snoop Dogg hosted the evening.
Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli, who star in the Prime Video series "Off Campus," appeared as presenters at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The publication reported that the two actors spent the summer months shooting the show's second season. Their appearance brought the pair onto the stage of one of American television's annual music-award broadcasts, this time handing out honors rather than working on set.
The Hollywood Reporter has chosen 10 outfits from the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards that were the most discussed on social media. The selections cover a wide range of styles, from polished and formal to more daring choices. The publication's measure was how much discussion each look generated online after MTV's main annual event. For Beverly Hills readers who follow evening dressing, the list records which looks the audience noticed most on the night.
Adam Lambert made an unannounced appearance at the 2026 Video Music Awards and gave the final performance of a segment honoring George Michael. Before him, Raye, Sombr and Teddy Swims performed several of Michael's best-known songs. Michael, the artist behind "Faith," died in 2016. The segment brought several of today's performers together around one songwriter's catalog, and Lambert's appearance closed it.
Taylor Swift and Madonna talked with each other at the MTV Video Music Awards while the broadcast was stopped for advertising, The Hollywood Reporter said. Their conversation happened away from the cameras, so viewers at home did not see it. The same report said Lisa celebrated once her performance was over. People in the room saw both moments, but they were not part of the broadcast.
Italy, France, Spain, Poland and Indonesia are among the countries that have entered films in the Academy Awards category for international feature, according to Variety. Every country's entry is due by Oct. 1. The Academy is scheduled to name the films advancing in the category on Dec. 15. For Beverly Hills readers who follow the awards calendar, those are the two dates to mark in this category.
At the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Sabrina Carpenter kept her new look off the red carpet and wore it only once the arrivals were done. It was a soft, sentimental dress, covered in beadwork and hung with tassels. A dress like that is made to move, and each tassel swings with every step and turn. For a desk that tracks exactly who wore what and exactly when, the timing is part of the look. Holding a dress back until after the cameras on the carpet had had their turn was a deliberate styling choice.
Derek Lam is once again leading the creative side of Derek Lam 10 Crosby, the label that carries his name. He stepped away in 2023. That was three years after he sold the company to Public Clothing Co., which passed it to NYC Alliance this past May. For an archive that tracks who designed what and when, this is a date to note: from now on, the name on the label and the person designing the clothes are the same again.
A hundred years in, Haggar still makes more of the slacks and tailored jackets Americans actually buy than any other label in the country. For an archive that usually tracks one gown on one night, that is a different kind of record: not a single appearance but the everyday uniform of the American office, wedding and Sunday lunch. The company isn't treating the anniversary as a finish line. It is looking at markets beyond U.S. borders and at new categories under its own name as the next chapter.
Some dresses are made to be photographed; this one was made to vanish. Hussein Chalayan designed the short dress Olivia Rodrigo wore as it came apart, and he has now explained how the moment everyone replayed was put together. He names "The Cure" as the starting point. He says vulnerability guided how the reveal unfolded, so the garment's disappearance was a deliberate choice about what to show and when. He also describes what it took to make the change happen live, where a dress gets one chance to do its trick with no second take. For an archive that logs who wore what and when, this is a rare entry: a look whose defining moment is the one in which it stops being itself. Whether readers caught the clip in Los Angeles or New York, the craft is the story here, not just the spectacle.
Jisoo of Blackpink makes her first appearance as Salomon's worldwide ambassador in a new campaign built around the unhurried side of everyday life. Her shoes come from the French label's winter range, and the campaign is where that footwear first meets her. For readers who spend the season between a slopeside lunch in Aspen and a slushy crosswalk in New York, cold-weather shoes that can sit in a fashion campaign are worth a second look. An ambassador's debut is the first chapter, and Salomon has put its winter shoes on the first page.
Jisoo of Blackpink appears in her first campaign for Salomon, the French sportswear label that recently named her its worldwide face. The shoes on her feet come from the label's latest cold-weather line, and they are the point of the pictures. The campaign trades spectacle for calm, unhurried scenes, which suits a shoe built for real weather rather than for the flash of a step-and-repeat. For readers already thinking about the first snow in Aspen and the Colorado high country, that is exactly the kind of footwear this season is asking for.
Jisoo is the face of a new Salomon campaign, and this one is about winter: the label's cult sneakers, now pitched at colder months. Elle had the first look. For readers who dress for Aspen switchbacks or a sleeting February in New York, the appeal is simple: a shoe that can take slush and still look like a choice. It's a practical idea with a well-known face attached, and in our archive that combination counts.
Taylor Swift arrived at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards in a gown sewn with sequins that caught the light at every angle. She added sparkling jewelry and heels set with rhinestones, so the shine carried all the way down to the floor. There is no single piece to pick out here, and that is the point: gown, jewelry and shoes all work toward the same bright finish. For an archive that tracks what was worn and when, file this one under a night built around sequins.
Joseph Altuzarra has designed a fall capsule for Old Navy, and it leans soft and pretty: florals, plaid and Fair Isle knits make up the collection. The designer talked with Vogue about what inspired the pieces. For one day only, Vogue is the sole place to buy them, so anyone hoping for the first pick should move fast.
The Ford Bronco Raptor with serial number 0001, the first of the model ever built, has a new owner. When the truck first crossed the auction block, it brought $350,000. This time it went for less than a third of that figure. A collector now holds the very first example of the Bronco Raptor.
Massimo, the company already known for small Jeep-style machines, has added a gasoline mini truck to its range. It runs a 125cc engine and is rated at 28 mph. Its styling looks back to the pickups of an earlier era, not to anything on a dealer lot today. The Drive sees it as a livelier step up from the ordinary kart. For owners who keep full-size vintage trucks in the garage, it offers the same familiar shape at a much smaller scale.
In 1992, Car and Driver put three sporty four-door sedans side by side, one built in America and two from Japan. The premise was simple: a practical family shape that still promises some fun from behind the wheel, made three different ways. For owners who still keep a sedan from that model year in the garage, it's a reminder that these cars were once judged directly against each other, with the American entry standing up to the imports. The testing and the verdict belong to Car and Driver, and their original comparison is the place to find them.
A BMW owner scanned an entire older BMW in three dimensions just to fabricate a new exhaust system for it. A replacement exhaust only has to fit under the car, so a full digital map of the whole body is far more than the job needs. That excess is what makes the project worth a look for anyone who keeps an older car running in a home garage. It shows how carefully one enthusiast chose to treat a car that was never built to be fast.
General Motors has filed for a patent on a forklift built without anywhere for an operator to sit. The space a seat would normally take is given over to coupling hardware, so one machine can hitch to the next and several can travel together in single file. It is a working machine, not a collector's car, but it comes from the same Detroit maker whose name sits on the grilles in our readers' garages. It shows that company still rethinking how a vehicle is laid out, down to whether it needs a driver.
For anyone with an ID.4 in the garage, Volkswagen has now named the model that takes its place: the ID. Tiguan, arriving as a 2028 model. Its formal unveiling is set for October 2026, just weeks from now. Until then, the first exterior pictures are the earliest look at the car that will carry on from the ID.4.
The car that replaces Volkswagen's ID.4 now has a name, and the automaker has confirmed it: ID. Tiguan. It will be the first Tiguan powered by electricity alone. European buyers get it first, beginning early next year, and the car is expected to reach the United States after that, though no American date has been given. For owners who already know the Tiguan badge, the name they recognize is coming to a battery-powered Volkswagen.
Sure Thing Chapel had been open on the Lower East Side for less than a week when Maithri and Taylor came through its doors. The New York outpost opened on September 3rd, and by the 8th the couple stood beneath the heart-shaped marquee out front while it glowed pink. Sylvie Rosokoff was behind the camera and placed them in front of that sign. It was one of the first pictures taken at the new address. The day was built from specific pieces. There was red velvet. There was a Bob Mackie from 1992, a design already three decades old by the time it reached a Manhattan chapel that was five days old. And the cake was topped with swans. It was a brand-new room on an old downtown street, marked by a couple who were there early enough to be among its first.
Electra has been flying its EL2 demonstrator on instrument procedures written in the manner of rotorcraft approaches. The goal was to see whether an airplane could work the kinds of places normally left to helicopters: heliports, taxiways and other surfaces that were never designed as runways. For an owner, the question is how far a fixed-wing aircraft's instrument access could reach beyond the runway environment that decides where it can go today. These were test flights, and exploratory ones. Nothing in them changes where anyone can file to this season.
The Navy has flown a demonstration in which an MQ-20 Avenger took a plan built by people and carried it out itself, with nothing in between. The plan was set by humans, the flying was done by the aircraft, and the test was about joining those two steps. For owners who still file, brief and fly their own legs, this shows where military aviation is testing the handoff from planner to airframe. It was a military demonstration, and nothing about it applies to a Part 91 cockpit today.
Lollipop is a new 123-foot yacht whose name comes straight from "On the Good Ship Lollipop," and her interior follows the same idea with a confectionery theme. Her yard, naval architect and price are not yet on the record, and we will not guess at them. The record does show a length well into superyacht range and a design brief that took a familiar tune at its word. For owners on the Florida docks, it is worth noticing a yacht of this size built so completely around one playful idea.
Oyster, the builder from Britain, has a new sailing yacht at the head of its range, and it is called the 36M. It is 118 feet long. For an owner who sizes up a boat against the slips of Palm Beach or the docks of Naples, that is a serious length for a yacht built to move under sail. The report names neither a naval architect nor a price, and we won't guess at either.
Feadship has released images of Hive, a concept that runs 337 feet. That makes it the largest design the yard has ever presented in concept form. To picture the length, set it beside an American football field: Hive would reach past both goal lines. The feature owners will want to see first is a lounge set beneath the surface of the water, and the photographs show it is one of several spaces planned for the design. The images come without a naval architect's name or a price, so we will not supply either. For owners who judge yachts in feet along the docks from Palm Beach to Miami, 337 is a number that speaks for itself.
Avery and Nick held their entire wedding in one sailcloth structure at Riverfront Park in North Charleston, and the design brief was a Charleston living room rather than a party tent. Gold Leaf Event Design is credited with the work. The wedding took place in early autumn. For planning, the useful point is that nothing moved to a second space. Every part of the celebration took place under the same canvas, so the room had to work for all of it. Dressing a tent as a room, not a marquee, means the decisions are the ones you would make at home: where people sit, what they look at, and whether the space feels lived in rather than rented. A couple thinking about a tent for a fall date can use this wedding as an example of the one-room approach, with a single interior done well from start to finish.
Emily and Josh held their summer wedding at Inns of Aurora in New York's Finger Lakes, on the water at Cayuga Lake. The palette was citrus and a soft butter yellow, and the day was built around the late light over the lake. RD Events and Design planned and designed it, so one team handled both the logistics and the look. For a bride weighing yellow, the lesson is that it depends on the hour. Warm, low sun makes butter yellow look intentional, while flat midday light can wash it out. Putting citrus next to it gives the pale shade enough contrast to hold up in photographs. If your venue sits on water or open ground, set the timeline by when the light arrives, and let the palette follow.
A couple held their multi-day celebration at the Four Seasons Scottsdale, and they planned its two main events in two different registers. The first night was casual enough for guests to wear cowboy boots. The ceremony was formal: the processional was set to Debussy's "Clair de Lune," and the aisle ran ninety feet. A ninety-foot aisle is a long one, so the walk becomes part of the ceremony instead of a few steps before it, and a quiet piano piece like Debussy's suits that pace. The source also mentions bougainvillea, and the bright pink flowers are as much a part of the setting as the flowers the couple chose. What a bride planning a weekend can take from this is how the two events worked together. Boots on the first night did not take anything away from the formality of the second. Each event was allowed to be fully what it was. For a bride weighing a relaxed welcome evening against a formal ceremony, this weekend shows she can have both.
Pieces made for "Blade Runner 2049" are now being offered at auction. They are coming up for sale while the market for film memorabilia is running strong. For collectors who follow what changes hands, the appeal is simple: these are real objects that stood in front of the camera, and now anyone willing to bid has a chance to own one. The same round of sales takes in a Ferrari tied to Steve McQueen and a group of Pokémon animation cels, which shows how broadly the appetite for screen history now reaches.
Sea glass takes decades of surf and sand to make: bits of broken glass rolled and scoured until the sharp edges wear smooth and the surface turns frosted. Some of the pieces that turn up on beaches have been in the water for centuries, so one small fragment can link the time it was made to the moment someone picks it up. Artists around the world have used it as their material, treating what the ocean spent years finishing as something worth building on. For a collector walking the shore in the Hamptons or Naples, it is a reminder that the waves have been doing slow, careful work.
Twenty exhibitors are showing at the U-Haul Art Fair, which is back in Chelsea for another edition. The neighborhood is one of New York's best-known addresses for looking at art and buying it. For readers who follow where collecting happens in this city, what matters here is that the fair came back. A modest roster in Chelsea is still worth a walk.
In the East Village, the studio Sunfish has made straw the foundation of a full line of furnishings and objects for the home. It didn't stop at one statement piece. Straw carries the whole range, from the pieces a room is built around to the smaller things that finish it. It's a humble fiber more often seen in the field than in a Manhattan living room, and Sunfish is treating it as a serious material for the American house.
Julia Fox now owns outright a Harlem brownstone she once shared with Richie Shazam, having bought out Shazam's stake. The two met as high school students and later lived under the same roof uptown. The friendship continues, but the shared household does not. The sale price has not been made public, and this desk will not guess at one.
Asador Bastian is a Chicago steakhouse, and it sits inside a townhouse built in 1883 that has been brought back to working order. Within those walls is a room set aside for butchery, where the meat is broken down under the same roof where it will be served. Doug Psaltis, who both cooks and runs restaurants, leads the project with his partner Hsing Chen, who trained in the kitchen of the French Laundry. The two are bringing fresh energy to a city whose tradition of great steakhouses runs deep. For a publication that follows the American house, the building is the part worth noticing: a nineteenth-century home restored to take on a new use, rather than a new room made to look old. Here the dining room lives in the house, and the house was not replaced to make room for it.
Friedman Benda has opened a new show that puts back together the private setting where Wendell Castle, one of the most important American furniture makers, did his work. The pieces include some that the public has hardly ever seen, displayed with ceramics and the everyday things of a household. For readers who care about how a house is lived in as much as how it is built, the point of the show is where it puts the work: a maker's furniture set among the objects that kept him company. It reads less like a row of masterpieces and more like the private rooms around them.
This week's roundup of New York City apartments Curbed considers worth the money looks at a question Brooklyn buyers know well: how near an address sits to Prospect Park depends on more than the map. Two homes can both claim the park and still be very different places to live. For a reader weighing what the price of an apartment actually pays for, that difference is the point. The park is the draw, and the details of each address decide how much of it a buyer gets.
On September 17, Chicago's Bavette's Bar & Boeuf hosted a private evening from Citi Strata Elite and The Supper Club. The event was the latest in the pair's series of dinners, which brings cardholders into restaurants where a reservation is hard to come by. Bavette's is a Chicago steakhouse that diners compete for, and for one night its tables went to the series' guests.
Shea and Syd McGee are days away from opening a flagship store in Salt Lake City, the first they have opened there. Architectural Digest spent time with the couple in the last stretch before the doors open. A flagship is where a design business shows its whole point of view in one room, so a reader who follows American interiors will want to walk through this one. Salt Lake City is where the McGees chose to make that statement first.
Angelina Jolie has let go of the estate that carries Cecil B. DeMille's name, and the price is on the record: $24.75 million. The buyer gets more than a single house. The property is a compound, a small cluster of buildings on one piece of land. The principal residence sits at the center. Around it are separate quarters for visitors, a building that serves the pool, and a pavilion set aside for taking tea. Somewhere on the grounds, out of plain sight, there is also a treehouse, and a visitor could walk right past it without knowing it was there. A property at this level is expected to have guest quarters and a building by the pool. A dedicated place for tea is less common, and a concealed room up in the trees is rarer still. Together the five buildings describe an estate meant to be lived in across the whole property, not only inside four walls. This is the kind of sale this desk exists to record: a public price, a name that comes with the place, and buildings that show how the place was meant to be used.
A new photo retrospective traces Olivia Newton-John's private life across the decades, and one stop on that route is a ranch in Malibu. The collection sets it beside a large rural property she kept in Australia. What connects the two is the life she chose away from the stage: open country, with animals close at hand. For readers who follow the California coast, the Malibu ranch is a reminder that one of the biggest stars of the *Grease* era chose land and quiet over spectacle when she was at home.
Luca Guadagnino and Stefano Baisi, the architect who has designed the sets for the director's films for years, have made a home collection together for Zara Home. It covers what fills a room once the walls are up: pieces to sit on, lamps, and what goes on the table for dinner. For a desk that usually writes about the house itself, this is the rare case where an architect's eye shows up in the objects inside it, at the scale of a chair and a place setting. No prices or pieces were on the record in the announcement, so we'll leave the inventory to the retailer.
Lili Fini Zanuck, the producer and director who holds an Academy Award, has built a new house for herself in Los Angeles. It is new construction, planned and built as her own rather than bought ready-made. The published account does not name the architect or the address, and no price is on the record, so we won't guess at any of them. What is on the record is a new Los Angeles house, built from scratch for the person who lives in it.
The encore's four new tracks run from "Cleveland!" to "Babylon," and they are written by a woman who is contentedly married. Swift now looks back at old romances from somewhere settled, with Travis Kelce at her side. She also has an answer for anyone who doubts that happiness, and she gives it lightly. It will be playing in more than a few cars on the drive up to the North End this season.
The Fred Astaire picture now has its leading ladies. Sabrina Carpenter has been cast as Ginger Rogers, and Margaret Qualley will take the part of Adele Astaire, Fred's elder sister, in the film Tom Holland is bringing to the screen. Both women are named in the same announcement, which gives the project its two most important women at once. For anyone who still thinks an evening is incomplete without a proper dance floor, it's the casting news to talk about over dinner this week.
A Robb Report writer says a long search for a daily carry is over, and the tote that ended it comes from a young label rather than one of the old houses. By the writer's account, it holds up on the small points where most bags fall short. That's a familiar search from Palm Beach to Naples, where one bag has to handle a Worth Avenue lunch, a Fifth Avenue South errand and the trip home from the Miami airport on the same kind of day. When someone who spent years turning bags down finally settles on one, we pay attention, and we'd rather hear about a newer maker getting it right than a famous one living off its name.
WRJ Design's Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer took on a home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and left out the stock mountain-West looks most visitors would expect in that valley. Instead, the house leans on cashmere floor coverings and pieces meant to be passed down through the family, which is a quieter kind of luxury than the usual Western set dressing. Floridians know this move well. Palm Beach has always preferred a family piece to a trend, Naples admires anything done with restraint, and Miami would probably still ask where the neon went. A mountain house that chooses softness over theme belongs with the Florida houses we cover, and we tip our hats to the designers who built it.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days return on October 6 and 7, and some of the discounts are already live. Early markdowns cover parts, tools and accessories, including dash cameras and tire inflators, all priced below $100. For owners who keep their own cars in order, these are items that earn their place in the garage in every season, not only on the day they arrive. A good tire inflator or dash camera is the kind of small purchase a careful owner makes once and relies on for years.
Chevrolet's new Bolt takes on energy noticeably faster than the first-generation car did. Car and Driver compared the two cars' charging times, and the newer car comes out clearly ahead. For anyone who has owned the original Bolt and waited through its stops, that gain is the headline. It shows what a few more years of engineering on the same nameplate can do.
Car and Driver has published a photo gallery from its 1992 test of three performance-minded four-door sedans: the Ford Taurus SHO, the Toyota Camry SE and the Nissan Maxima SE. The photographs cover each car's cabin as well as its bodywork. For owners and collectors of these 1992 sedans, the gallery is a useful visual reference, showing how the three cars were presented when they were tested against each other that model year.
Kyle Larson took the checkered flag at Kansas after Chase Briscoe came close to taking the race from him in its closing stages. Larson fought back to regain the front and held it to the finish. He left with every point on offer and more distance between himself and the rest of the NASCAR Cup championship field. No afternoon this year has added more to his tally than this one.
Eater brought its yearly Eater Off Menu gathering to Los Angeles over the weekend just past. The evening honored the city's cooks and the plates they have made worth crossing town for. It was a night for the kitchen to be the guest of honor. For those who couldn't make it, that is reason enough to mark next year's calendar now.
The argument here is about hotels, and specifically about who a hotel company works for. When the operator behind a property puts its resources to work for the people who own the building, the result is a guest attachment unlike the usual kind. For anyone who checks in across New York, Miami or Aspen, that is worth knowing: the pull that brings a traveler back to the same lobby can start with a choice made long before anyone reaches the front desk.
Skift argues that travel companies should count more than they currently do when they measure their green pledges. Most of today's tallies cover only what a company runs itself, such as its own buildings, its own fleet and its own operations. The next step, Skift says, is to also account for the ripple effect: the choices a hotel or travel brand shapes but does not own outright. For readers who choose where to sleep and dine, that would give a fuller picture of how the well-run house treats the world beyond its lobby.
Guests come back for the meal that could only have happened in that room, in that season, on that night. That is the point Skift makes about travel, and it holds at every good American table, from a Naples dining room to a counter in Aspen. You can't ship that kind of dinner or copy it somewhere else. You have to come back for it, and most of us do.
Robb Report Dining has put together a list of ten bourbon drinks for the cooler months, and the advice is simple: as the weather turns, pour bourbon. It suits the season, when evenings get shorter and a host starts serving drinks indoors. A list of ten gives someone mixing at home plenty to work through between now and the first frost, whether they're in a Nashville kitchen or a house in Aspen.
Brian Chesky, Airbnb's chief executive, says the company's Experiences business has begun to attract residents as well as visitors. That puts Airbnb at odds with how the larger names in the business usually work, since they sell their outings to people passing through town. For a reader in Palm Beach, Nashville or Aspen, the idea is simple: the kind of Experience you might book on a trip could be one you book in your own town. Whether Airbnb can keep going in that direction is still an open question, but Chesky's view is that it has made a start.
Major League Baseball and the federal government are talking about staging a game inside one of the country's national parks. The Washington Post brought the talks to light on Saturday, and no park, date or matchup has been named so far. The idea is still only being discussed, but it would put the national pastime on public land that belongs to every American. It's the sort of event that could one day earn a place on the country's calendar.
Some Breeders' Cup races stay with people long after the results are posted, and the Distaff at the 2016 World Championships is one of them. It was a two-horse fight in the Championships' marquee race for fillies and mares, and neither gave any ground to the other. That kind of race doesn't just settle a title. It shows two top-class mares at their best, stride for stride, in front of an American crowd. This is the Distaff we'd queue up first on a quiet evening.
The Zenyatta Stakes is set for its 2026 running, and horsemen with long memories will know it by its earlier name, the Lady's Secret Stakes. The race is the same fixture; only the name has changed. Racing people keep old names in their heads, so this one is worth noting for any reader who still catches themselves saying "Lady's Secret" when the entries come out.
A two-year-old filly by Upstart is set to make her first start on Sept. 28 at Horseshoe Indianapolis. She comes from the same female family as Maxfield. She goes in the second race on the card, a maiden special weight for juvenile fillies worth $43,000. The race is at one mile, and post time is 2:41 p.m. Eastern. That's a full mile for a first-time starter, with a known sire on top of her pedigree and a well-regarded female family underneath it. She has company among the day's first-time starters, since a grandson of Havre de Grace is also on the Horseshoe card to make his debut. The Indiana track sometimes gets first-time starters from major racing operations, and this second race is one of the days worth watching for that. For anyone who follows pedigrees from the sales ring to the starting gate, it's a chance to see these two families race for the first time.
Foxiest's first start ended almost as soon as it began, when a stumble cost her any real chance. Her second start at Churchill Downs went very differently. The filly by Gun Runner won with ease, and the Thoroughbred Daily News named her a "Rising Star." Her dam is the champion Covfefe, which is why horsemen were already watching her. A breakdown of Gun Runner over a champion mare is the kind of cross breeders study in the catalog long before any foal reaches the track. This time the filly showed what that pedigree promised, and she did it on the country's best-known dirt, under the twin spires. Pedigree gets a young horse noticed, but she has to win before the notice counts, and on her second try Foxiest did.
Some of the best stories in American racing begin in the least-watched part of the sales ring. Chunk of Gold, a gray son of Preservationist, sold as a yearling at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October sale for $2,500, a price that rarely makes news on the day it happens. He has since earned more than $1 million and is now working his way toward a second. He added to that total again on Saturday, pushing his lifetime earnings a little higher. For anyone who follows the October yearling sale, his career is worth remembering: a $2,500 purchase can turn into a horse with a seven-figure record who is still running and still earning.
Listenupshance was the better sprinter at Santa Anita once more. The 4-year-old gelding, by Shancelot out of the Hard Spun mare Listenupnow, took the 'WAYI' Santa Anita Sprint Championship and has now won two races in a row. The race looked a lot like the Grade I Bing Crosby Stakes, because the same two horses finished on top, and Listenupshance again got the better of Maximum Bourbon, the son of Maximum Security, in the final strides. He races for Great Friends Stables and Run Fast Racing. Two good sprinters meeting a second time rarely gives the same answer, and this time it did.
Shisospicy, the Eclipse Award-winning female sprinter by Mitole, is being aimed at another Breeders' Cup start. Last year she took the Grade I Turf Sprint against male rivals, the kind of result that settles a championship title. She was also named a TDN Rising Star, the Thoroughbred Daily News honor presented by Hagyard. When a filly beats the colts in a Breeders' Cup race, horsemen remember it for a long time. The good news for anyone who watched her do it is that she's on course to line up again.
Super Corredora ran the Zenyatta Stakes from the front and never gave up the lead, winning in her first start in six months. She had been away since the winter and spring, a stretch in which she had trouble matching the form she showed last October, when she won the Grade I Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. She came back from the layoff looking like that filly again. The Zenyatta is a "Win and You're In" race, so the victory earns her a starting place in this year's Breeders' Cup. The champion filly of last fall comes into the championships having won the way she wins best, on the lead from start to finish.
The champion Super Corredora has a place in the Breeders' Cup, and she earned it by winning the Zenyatta. It was her first race back, which makes the result more telling than a routine victory. A layoff raises the question every horseman asks, whether a champion comes back as good as she left. She answered it in a race named for one of the great mares in American racing, and in doing so booked her place on the sport's biggest weekend.
A month after the Travers, Silent Tactic is a winner again. The 3-year-old colt, owned by John C. Oxley in partnership with Victoriam Farm, took the Oklahoma Derby on Sunday. His last start came at Saratoga on Aug. 29 in the Grade I Travers Stakes, where he was pulled up before the finish and did not run the race out. Sunday's result makes that afternoon at the Spa a break in his record rather than where the story ends. His pedigree is all-American. Silent Tactic is by Tacitus, and his dam is Magical Sign, a daughter of Gun Runner. That puts him with a group of young horses carrying Gun Runner through their mothers, and anyone who keeps a stallion register or a sales catalog open will take note. For the Oxley and Victoriam Farm partnership, the Oklahoma Derby puts a colt who came home quietly from New York back in a winner's photograph, and it did not take long.
The 2026 Black Footwear Forum convened in Detroit, and its guest list ran from the famous to the just-getting-started. Colin Kaepernick and D.M.C. were among the headliners, and they shared the rooms with students who are only beginning their own careers in the business. This year's organizing idea was "Rooted in CommUnity," and the capital U in the middle does a lot of the explaining. The program was built around talks rather than a runway, so the shoes were the subject of the day and the people who make them were the ones speaking. That mix of veterans and students, all talking about footwear in one American city, is what sets a forum like this apart from a trade show. For a desk that usually tracks who wore what on a red carpet, it's worth noting a gathering where the people who wear the shoes and the people who will one day design them sat in the same audience. Detroit was the host city, and the conversations were about the craft.
Page Six Style has pulled together the MTV Video Music Awards outfits Madonna has worn, beginning with the show's first year in 1984. That makes her one of the few performers whose dressing for the ceremony runs the whole length of its history. For a fashion archive, that's hard to pass up: one star and one American awards night, looked at year by year from the start. The roundup covers the clothes and nothing else, which is where we like to keep things.
For his second collection with Dondup, Achille Lauro has made every piece from denim, and the fall 2027 line arrived with its own song, a music video and a launch party. Most collaborations get a lookbook, so a soundtrack is an unusual extra, and it suits a range that sticks to a single fabric. When the whole line is one material, the interest has to come from cut, wash and proportion, which is where an archive keeps its notes. We'll keep a page open for this one and log each denim-on-denim look by designer, year and occasion.
In the teaser video for "Patient Zero," Taylor Swift appears in a top that fans are sure came from Travis Kelce's wardrobe. Viewers watching the clip decided the shirt was too much his style to belong to anyone else, and one person on X said they fully backed a wife's claim on her spouse's clothes. No one has confirmed where the shirt came from, but taking a partner's shirt has long been a respected move in personal style. In a teaser meant to make people look closely, the first thing fans looked at was the shirt.
For the 2026 VMAs arrival, Taylor Swift chose silver couture built on a corset, and it caught the light the whole way down the carpet. Viewers who have watched her "Patient Zero" video will have recognized it at once, since the gown looked like it came from that set. For an archive that tracks who wore what and when, this is a clear example of a video look moving straight onto an awards-night carpet. The metallic finish and the fitted bodice did most of the work.
At the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift's makeup drew on classic Italian film: dark, graphic eyeliner that looked made for a close-up on a big screen. Vogue named it among eight standout makeup moments from the evening, and it clearly led the pack. For an archive that tracks who wore what, where and when, a look like this is worth filing under both the year and the reference. Here the reference was a very old-fashioned kind of glamour, brought to a very modern awards show.
Lisa came to the 2026 MTV VMAs with four nominations and dressed in a single color. The Blackpink star wore a crimson gown by The Attico and added a coat by Quine Li in the same red, cut on a generous, billowing scale. That's two labels in one shade, a tonal choice that reads clearly from the far end of a carpet and still holds up close. The coat's volume does the dramatic work, while the matching gown keeps the color unbroken, so the look reads as one idea rather than two pieces. For the archive: The Attico gown, Quine Li coat, MTV VMAs, 2026. Her four nominations cover the pop and K-pop categories and two craft categories, cinematography and editing. That recognition reaches past the song to how it was shot and cut. With a night that wide-ranging, a single-color look makes sense: nothing on it competes, and every line of it leads back to the person wearing it.
For the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift wore sandals by Le Silla, and they sparkled. The night also brought a new prize: she is to receive the MTV VMA Artist Director Honors, which the show has never given before. That makes her the first name ever attached to the award. For the archive, file it as Le Silla, 2026, VMAs, on the night the Artist Director Honors began.
MTV has given out its 2026 music video trophies, and Snoop Dogg ran the evening as host. The full list of honorees is now gathered in one place for anyone keeping score at home. We file every big night by designer, year and occasion, so this one gets its own folder: the names on the trophies go in first, and the looks go in once they're on the record. For now, this is the index card.
Slayyyter came to MTV's 2026 Video Music Awards holding two nominations and wearing clothes that looked worn on purpose. The roughed-up finish was the whole point, an intentional texture on an evening when most arrivals go for polish. That is a confident choice for a singer with two categories in play that Sunday. For the archive: VMAs, 2026, two nominations, wear by design.
This year's MTV Video Music Awards opened with Taylor Swift, Tyla and Charli XCX among the first names on the arrivals line, along with a long list of other artists. For a desk that tracks who wore what and when, the 2026 VMAs now get their own entry in the file, next to every earlier carpet the show has staged. We'll leave the designer credits and the gown-by-gown details to the full photo record and note only the fact that matters here: the music industry turned out dressed for the occasion. The archive is open, and there's room in it for this year.
Chloe Bailey arrived at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards on a pair of towering soles in a champagne tone. The soft, pale-gold shade added shine without shouting, and the height did the rest. She wasn't alone in going up: other guests on the arrivals line also chose the platform that night. For an archive that tracks what went on which feet and when, that makes the platform the shoe of the evening, and Bailey's champagne pair one of the finest examples of it.
For the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Raye treated her shoes as a carpet-only accessory. She arrived in satin pumps in a pale, frosted blue with a silver sheen. When she took the stage to perform, she did it barefoot. That leaves the pumps as the one arrivals detail worth writing down, a cool metallic blue on a polished satin finish.
The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards began with Madonna, and she had company: Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX and several other names shared the first moments of the night with her. The first minutes of an awards show tell the audience what kind of evening to expect, and this one started with pop royalty and two of the genre's brightest current stars on the same bill. For an archive that tracks who stood where, and when, that lineup is already worth noting. The looks will get their own entry once the full record is in.
At the 2026 MTV VMAs, Charli XCX, Teyana Taylor and several other guests chose eyes lined and shaded in deep, sooty black. When that many faces share one look, the archive notes it: a single night of dark eye makeup is worth watching as a possible start to a trend. Charcoal is also a sensible choice for a room full of flashbulbs, because it stays visible at a distance and in close-up alike. We'll be looking for that coal-dark eye at the next arrivals.
For the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Raye chose couture from Georges Hobeika, taken from the house's fall 2027 line. The dress paired translucent layers with a glimmering finish, putting see-through and sparkle into a single look. Fall 2027 couture on a 2026 arrival is the kind of date an archive notes. We're filing it under Georges Hobeika, fall 2027 couture, VMAs 2026.
Vogue went back through its own collection and pulled 20 photographs of George Michael, the English singer who ranks among the best-known names pop music has produced. The gallery isn't about one night or one red carpet. It lays older frames side by side and lets the reader take them in. For a desk that tracks who wore what and when, a set like this is ideal: 20 chances to study how a pop star chose to be seen. We'll leave the details to the source and simply recommend the scroll.
At the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Dakota Johnson walked out in something that caught the light and handed Taylor Swift a trophy the show had never given before: the Artist Director Honors, awarded this year for the first time. Johnson didn't present it as a stranger. She spoke about Swift warmly and plainly as a friend. For a night built on spectacle, a first-ever honor passed between two friends was the moment worth noting in the archive.
Bird, a Valhalla Boatworks V-37, is on the market. She runs on a stepped-V hull with a ventilated tunnel, and a Seakeeper gyro is aboard to steady her. Power comes from three Mercury outboards across the transom. No asking price is on the record.
Game Aerospace's GB2 has flown, and the program is now test flying the aircraft in Arkansas. The GB2 is a one-engine firefighting tanker, designed around that work from the beginning. Anyone who has owned an airframe knows what this milestone means. The design has left the drawing board and become an airplane with hours in its logbook. Next comes the slow, careful work of any test program, and for the GB2 that work is now happening over Arkansas.
The FAA certificated 23.2% more new mechanics in 2025 than the year before, the highest annual total the agency has recorded. For anyone who owns an airplane, that number matters more than most aviation statistics, because every annual, every squawk and every return-to-service entry in the logbook needs a certificated mechanic's signature. More newly qualified mechanics means more people who can sign off the work that keeps an aircraft legal to fly. Industry forecasts still expect demand for mechanics to exceed supply, so owners shouldn't count on easy scheduling at the shop just yet. A record year is still a solid step, and it's the part of the maintenance picture that is heading the right way.
Mina and Alex kept their fall wedding at Four Seasons Napa Valley to three colors: green, white and a range of undyed neutrals. For a couple still choosing a palette, this is one of the easiest to carry through a whole day. Green comes from the greenery and the vines. White does most of the work on linens and flowers. The neutrals fill everything in between, so one short list of colors covers the florist, the rental company and the stationer. The couple described the look they wanted as classic and polished rather than trendy. A palette this restrained is less likely to date a wedding album. Autumn in wine country supplies color at the edges of the frame, which is another reason to keep the table quiet. The couple let the season fill in the rest.
Markham Roberts, the New York decorator who writes a column for Veranda, has set out what he believes a guest room actually needs. His lessons come from two very different rooms: an Elizabethan estate and a tween's bedroom done entirely in pink. His focus is not on show but on the comforts a visitor will notice and remember. He does allow for a butler or a footman, and even recommends one, though it is not required.
The top-floor Chelsea residence of Linda Evangelista, one of the defining faces of fashion's supermodel era, has found a buyer at $6.75 million. The closing price is nearly 30 percent below the figure the home first went to market at, and the seller agreed to that gap to finish the deal. Here the number itself is the story. A price reached after a reduction of that size is the market's honest judgment of a home, arrived at by a willing seller and a willing buyer. That makes it more useful to readers than any first ask. The address is a Manhattan penthouse set in a loft building. That kind of home sits at the top of what buyers look for in Chelsea: open floors and height, with the city laid out beyond the windows. Closing at a price the market would meet reflects a clear head about value, and a sale finished that way is a sale done well. For anyone tracking what the best top floors on the West Side trade for this year, Evangelista's sale now joins the public record.
The palette for this styled editorial was the pale blue of a robin's egg, set beside the deep brown of worn saddle leather. The whole shoot carried an equestrian theme, and the brown came in on that note. The shoot was staged on the veranda of Abbott Mansion. Above it hung a curtain of bronze satin, drawn back to show a painted scene of woods behind it. The metallic sheen of the satin sat between the two main colors and tied the soft blue to the leather tone. On paper, a pairing that gentle could have looked too sweet. In front of that painted woodland, it looked composed and grown-up.
Green Wedding Shoes has gathered sixty-four Halloween manicures for 2026, running from the quietly spectral to the outright gory. The designs it favored most were the restrained ones: a pale, sheer polish with one small ghost painted on the finger that carries an engagement ring, or a crisp black edge at each tip polished enough to wear to a good restaurant. At the far end of the collection were blood-red drips taken straight from a horror film. For a Beverly Hills reader with an October celebration on the calendar, the most refined idea in the whole set was the smallest one: a single ghost on the hand that already holds the ring.
Hyperrealism is the name for painting so exact that a viewer can take the canvas for a camera's print. That confusion is deliberate. The brushwork seems to disappear, and the picture reads as a photograph until you step close enough to see that someone painted it. If one of these canvases hangs on a gallery wall in New York or Palm Beach, it asks you to slow down and look again before you decide what you are seeing.
Robb Report Motors reports that the newest upscale propeller-turbine aircraft are being put forward as serious alternatives to the business jet. These newer models make that argument with current technology and with the ability to reach a wider range of destinations. Our readers already judge a machine by how well it is built and where it can take them, so the argument will sound familiar. It is the same reasoning a collector uses when choosing a car for the road ahead, applied here to the hangar.
A 1967 Ford Mustang listed on Bring a Trailer has stayed with the same family from the day it was new. Its odometer now shows more than 350,000 miles. For collectors, that pairing of first-family provenance and very high mileage is uncommon. Most early Mustangs that come to auction have changed hands several times, and their history has to be pieced together from paperwork. With this car, the story is short: one family bought it and kept it. The mileage shows that for all those years it was driven rather than stored.
Booker's has added a cinnamon-flavored rye whiskey to its Reserves collection, and it is the newest bottle in that line. Adding flavor to a rye is a choice that traditional whiskey drinkers tend to argue about. The tasters at Robb Report put that argument aside and liked what they poured. We haven't tasted it ourselves yet, so for now the verdict is theirs.
When the air cools from Aspen to the Hamptons and the menus turn to braises and roasts, there's no reason to stop ordering whites. Richer autumn cooking can pair very well with a glass of white. Before you default to red this season, ask the sommelier what else is open.
The word this season is that a white can stay on the table as the calendar turns, and that the heavier plates of the cooler months are better for having one poured beside them. From Palm Beach to Naples that sounds less like news than like a formality, since October here arrives with the air conditioning still running and nobody rushing to put the ice bucket away. The part worth noting is the second half: richer cooking isn't just tolerating a white, it's improved by one. Miami will read this as permission, Palm Beach as good manners, and Naples as something it had already decided.
Madonna led off the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, her first performance at the awards since 2003, according to Variety. Sabrina Carpenter and Charli xcx joined her on stage during the opening segment, each performing her own material. Variety also listed Sombr and Debi Mazar among the other performers who appeared with her. The spot at the top of the evening went to an artist who had not performed at the awards in more than two decades.
The cast of The Gilded Age is preparing a Christmas album, giving the ensemble a rare turn to sing together outside the frame of the series. It is as close as the production has come yet to the musical episode audiences have been hoping for. Until that arrives, the record will do nicely.
A varietal once treated as a supporting player in American winemaking is stepping into the spotlight on its own terms. Vintners around the country are turning out Cabernet Francs confident enough to headline a list rather than round one out, and a new survey singles out seven bottles worth seeking by name. For a dining room building a wine program, it is a useful reminder that some of the most interesting pours on the market right now are homegrown.
Hermès has opened a large new Williamsburg boutique, joining the Brooklyn neighborhood's mix of old industrial buildings and working artists' studios. The space is built to sit alongside that history while serving the design-minded, well-heeled crowd the area now draws on any given afternoon.
The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles has appointed a new director, placing fresh leadership at one of the city's leading contemporary art institutions. The change comes in the same week that industry watchers are tracking early sales activity at the Armory Show in New York and Christie's move to stand up a dedicated pop culture department. For a museum that helps set the tone for collecting and exhibitions on the West Coast, new leadership marks the start of a new chapter.
The Armory Show has opened in New York, marking the moment the city's fall art season moves into full gear. The fair follows a run of gallery openings earlier this month across Tribeca and Chelsea, giving collectors a concentrated stretch of viewing before the main event. Early word from the floor points to steady sales and a strong VIP turnout, the kind of quiet confidence dealers like to see on an opening day.
Independent 20th Century, the history-minded companion to the contemporary art fair Independent, is having a strong showing in New York this year. Where its sister fair chases the newest names, this edition builds its booths around artists and periods with an established record. It is a reminder, each fall, that a case can be made for the work that came before as much as the work that just arrived.
New York's fall fair season played out in two temperatures at once. The Armory Show drew a calmer crowd, while the Independent pulled a packed floor of its own. Different as the two rooms felt, dealers at both reported work changing hands, a reminder that a quiet aisle and a crowded one can end the week the same way.
Forged Steel and Cabo Spirit each broke sharp in their Santa Anita stakes races this week and crossed the wire with more than a trophy on the line — both horses punched their tickets to the Breeders' Cup with the victories. The wins are the kind that reorder a stable's fall calendar overnight, turning a Santa Anita afternoon into a straight shot at racing's championship weekend. For connections on both sides, it is the payoff for a summer of placing a horse just right for exactly this moment.
Plutarch, the Into Mischief runner who has already placed in Grade I company, did double duty on the Bourbon Flight Stakes card: he opened proceedings by leading the post parade, then closed them by taking the race himself. The stakes fell squarely within National Bourbon Heritage Month, giving the afternoon an extra layer of local ceremony beyond the usual pageantry. For Plutarch, it amounted to a confident comeback — a horse who had already proven himself against top company, back in the winner's circle without missing a step.
Little Opal, a three-year-old filly that Donald R. Dizney bred and races under his own colors, kept her record spotless with a win in the John C. Harris. Every start still reads the same way in the form book: a clean line, no losses, run for run. For a breeder, there is no result quite like it — a horse carried from the nursery to the winner's circle without a blemish on the way.
Claudia Sulewski, the actress and founder of Cyklar, sent every guest at her bachelorette party home with the same beauty tool. In a new interview, she also talked wedding-day scent, which splurges she considers worth it, and how she thinks about wellness in the run-up to the big day. Not a gift bag afterthought — a favor with her own name behind it.
Trade the stiletto for a moment. Fashion sneakers — the season's designer collaborations, revived and brand-new alike, plus a run of fresh colorways and the untouchable classics — are this fall's shopping list, according to a new roundup. It is the kind of category that flatters a red-carpet wardrobe without asking it to try too hard: pull one on with tailoring and the whole look reads considered rather than casual. Consider it the crown's off-duty companion.
Hair care is getting the long-view treatment once reserved for skin. Kérastase's Chronologiste collection puts scalp health at the center of that shift, treating vitality as the foundation for hair that holds up over years, not just one event. It's a quieter kind of investment than a cut or color — the maintenance nobody sees on the red carpet, but that makes the rest of it possible.
Safari style just got a sensual makeover. Maximilian Davis's Spring 2027 collection for Ferragamo reworks the utilitarian classic with a sharper, more alluring silhouette, marking one of his standout outings for the house. For Palm Beach closets built on ease and warm-weather polish, it is a reminder that safari tailoring can hold both restraint and heat in the same breath.
Taylor Swift has folded something rare into the lyric video for her song "Cleveland!": personal footage of her with Travis Kelce, previously unseen by the public. It's a private glimpse arriving by way of a music release rather than a red carpet or public appearance.
Ermanno Scervino built his Spring 2027 collection around gold frogging, the ornate braid trim first seen on 18th century pirate coats and, two centuries later, on The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's uniforms. Rather than saving the detail for one showpiece, the house ran it throughout the lineup, turning swashbuckling hardware into a recurring signature. It's the kind of pairing only a fashion archive would think to draw: buccaneers and rock royalty, sharing one gilded seam.
Ermanno Scervino's Spring 2027 collection borrowed a single flourish from two very different centuries: the gold frogging once seen on 18th century pirate coats and, closer to our own era, on The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's uniforms. That braided trim turned up throughout the collection, which WWD described as full of what it called fashion treasures. It is a nice reminder that a good trim never really goes out of circulation, it just changes ships.
Zoë Kravitz is setting the tone for the season in a red coat built for warmth as much as impact. The actress chose the shade at the exact moment wardrobes turn toward layers, proving a great coat can still be the whole outfit. It is a simple, confident move — one bold color, no competition, cold weather covered in style.
Luca Lin's Spring 2027 collection for Act N.1 takes the closet's most familiar pieces and knocks them slightly off balance. Blazers and trousers arrive with small twists and built-in imperfections, the kind that read as choices rather than mistakes. The result is tailoring that keeps its structure but loosens its grip, sharp without ever feeling stiff. It is the kind of not-quite-ordinary detail that makes a basic worth a second look.
For Spring 2027, Act N.1 designer Luca Lin took the wardrobe's most familiar pieces — the blazer, the trouser, the button-down — and gave each one a deliberate twist, an imperfection left in on purpose rather than pressed out. The effect is tailoring that stays sharp without standing at attention: not-so-ordinary, but not undone either, just relaxed at the edges where convention usually insists on precision. It is a quieter kind of statement than a full reinvention, the sort that rewards a second look at the collar or the seam rather than the whole silhouette.
The pop star's Unraveled Tour has become as much a fashion story as a musical one, anchored by a dress engineered to dissolve on stage and a rotation of graphic tees that keep the show grounded. The pairing reads as deliberate: one look built for spectacle, the other for ease, and both treated with the same care. It is the kind of wardrobe strategy that turns a tour into a lookbook without anyone having to say so.
Ferragamo's Spring 2027 collection returns to the 1940s skirt suit, that most disciplined of silhouettes, and lets it soften. Ease and fluidity ran through the line, trading the era's sharp shoulder and cinched waist for something looser and easier to move in. It reads less like a boardroom uniform than a suit built for a long Palm Beach lunch — put-together, but unclenched.
For Spring 2027, Marco Rambaldi is looking no further than the house itself for inspiration, building a collection around the small, familiar spaces where people actually live and the relationships formed inside them. The result reads young and unfussy rather than formal, favoring ease over spectacle. It's a reminder that a well-loved home can be just as generative a muse as any far-flung reference — comfort, rendered with real craft, is still a point of view.
Olivia Rodrigo kicked off her Unraveled tour in a look built to do exactly what the tour's name promises: a dress designed to disintegrate as the show goes on. Rather than treating a costume change as a break in the performance, the gown makes the unraveling part of the number itself. It's stagecraft dressed up as fashion, timed to the music instead of the wings.
Talent agency UTA, which represents the Boston Globe, has begun fielding inquiries from Hollywood about adapting one of the paper's articles for film or television. The piece, about a lesbian bar, spread widely online and drove thousands of new subscriptions to the Globe. UTA's role means any adaptation would move through the same representation that handles the newspaper's broader business. The interest shows how far a single newspaper article can travel once it reaches a national audience.
Robert Pattinson has ruled out any crossover between his Batman and the shared DC Universe James Gunn is building. Pattinson said it would be difficult for his version of Bruce Wayne to exist within that continuity, closing the door on pairing his Dark Knight with Gunn's Superman. The comment settles ongoing speculation about whether the two franchises, among DC's most iconic partnerships, would ever share a screen.
Renault has revived the 8 Gordini, one of the marque's most iconic sports sedans, as an all-electric concept making 270 horsepower. The concept holds onto the nameplate's rear-wheel-drive character, carrying that layout forward into a battery-powered form. Rather than retiring the name or folding it into a new model line, Renault has chosen to reimagine it directly for the electric age. For a badge built around a sports sedan, keeping the drive wheels at the rear is the detail collectors will notice first.
A 1971 Honda N600, the model that opened the brand's showroom doors in the United States before the Civic or Accord ever arrived, has come up for sale on Bring a Trailer. Every Honda sold stateside since traces its lineage back to this small first arrival.
Metro Nashville Public Schools has a new chief financial officer already at her desk. Caitlin Richard joined the district this month, stepping into the role ahead of predecessor Jorge Robles's planned departure next month. Robles is leaving to focus on family needs, and the district timed the hire so the transition happens with the new CFO already in place rather than after his exit. It is the kind of quiet handoff Nashville's institutions prefer — the books never skip a beat.
A single bottle of 1926 Macallan already stands as the priciest whisky ever sold at auction, and next month it returns to the block for another turn. The sale gives collectors a rare chance to bid on the same bottle a second time, this time with a shot at topping its own record. Few spirits ever get to set the market twice; this one is set up to try. Wherever the gavel falls, the number will become the new benchmark for what a bottle nobody plans to open is worth.
Benedikt Taschen has put a midcentury house in Los Angeles on the market, asking $25 million. The figure places it among the more notable residential listings moving through the city right now. For a house of this era and this price, the appeal rests less on any one name attached to it than on the design pedigree the address itself carries.
A solo booth at Independent 20th Century is devoted to Emma Kunz, who described herself as a healer before she ever called herself an artist. Kunz made that distinction herself, placing healing ahead of art in how she understood her own work. Her booth at the fair is prompting a wider look at other artists whose practices have blurred that same line between healing and art-making.
Bockley Gallery is bringing George Morrison's abstract paintings to Independent 20th Century in New York, placing the artist in front of a fresh circle of collectors. The presentation follows a year in which Morrison's market set new records at auction, a shift the artist did not see during much of his career. For a painter whose prices are only now catching up to the work itself, a booth at a New York fair puts that recognition in full view.
Fuel-price data released this week put the national average for full-service 100LL at $7.69 per gallon. The figures show meaningful variation by region rather than a flat national rate. Alaska sits at the high end, with full-service fills averaging more than $11 per gallon. For owners routing trips or planning fuel stops, the spread underscores how much location alone can move the cost of a fill-up.
North Texas gains a scheduled-service airport: McKinney National has completed Part 139 certification, the FAA clearance required for airline operations, as the field moves from a general aviation base toward commercial passenger service. For owners based there, it's a signal worth watching as the field's mix of traffic begins to change.
A cloudless day gave USAF's Heritage Flight program exactly the conditions it needs: unrestricted visibility and stable air to hold a current-generation fighter and a vintage warbird in close formation, aircraft with very different speeds and handling flying wingtip to wingtip. AVweb's Picture of the Day caught the pairing against clean blue sky, the kind of light and calm the program depends on to put a modern jet and a piece of aviation history in the same frame. For anyone who has flown formation, or just tried to schedule around weather, it is a reminder of how much a good day in the air is worth.
The FAA issued more new aircraft mechanic certificates in 2025 than in any previous year, with certifications up 23.2 percent over 2024. For owners, the number that matters is less the record itself than what it feeds: the pool of A&P-rated technicians shops draw on for scheduled maintenance and unscheduled squawks alike. Even with that jump, industry forecasts still point to a workforce shortfall large enough that qualified mechanics remain in shorter supply than the fleet requires. The gain narrows that gap. It does not close it.
Designer Meredith Ellis has turned her pied-à-terre on Manhattan's Lenox Hill into a study in color, mixing the warmth of her native Texas with the polish of old New York decorating. The result is a small apartment with a distinct point of view, built for a life split between two places.
Jemima Kirke, long associated with Brooklyn, has crossed the river with her mother, the pair closing on a co-op in a prewar Chelsea building. Prewar co-ops in that neighborhood are prized for exactly what the name promises: thick walls, high ceilings, and boards that still ask questions before they let anyone in. A mother and daughter buying together in one is its own kind of vote of confidence in the building and in each other. It marks a notable address change for a name New York has long filed under Brooklyn.
Oheka Castle, the Long Island estate familiar to television and pop audiences alike, has come up for sale. The property served as the setting for Succession's now-famous "boar on the floor" sequence and for Taylor Swift's video for "Blank Space." It has also long been a preferred site for lavish private weddings. A place this recognizable rarely reaches the market.
Serena Williams's primary residence carries a credit beyond any architect's name: her sister Venus Williams helped design it. The two athletes, more often measured by trophies than by floor plans, collaborated directly on the house Serena calls home. That residence sits alongside other addresses in her name across Florida and California, with a fourth in Paris. Of the group, it is the one the sisters built together that stands as her main house — a rare instance of the Williams name attached to a project off the court.
New York decorator Markham Roberts, writing in his Veranda column, says the best guest rooms borrow from unlikely teachers: an Elizabethan estate on one end, an all-pink room built for a tween on the other. His point is that comfort, not grandeur alone, is what a good host actually provides. A butler or a footman on hand certainly helps, he allows, though neither is required to make a guest feel welcome. The lesson, as he tells it, comes down to thoughtful detail over spectacle.
A survey of eight standout wool rugs making the rounds this week ranges from low-pile flatweaves to Moroccan shag, spanning hand-knotted and hand-tufted construction. The inclusion of machine-washable options among them signals a practical turn even at the high end of floor covering, where durability and ease of care now sit alongside craftsmanship as selling points. For houses built around good light and honest materials, a wool rug remains one of the few furnishings that is both handmade and load-bearing in daily life.
Add the ID. Buzz to the list of things that will simply have to wait a little longer down here — Volkswagen has delayed the battery-powered van's U.S. return, with the earliest arrival now pushed to the first half of next year. For a state that has spent years anticipating the reboot of a shape everyone from Naples to Miami Beach already recognizes on sight, it's one more season of watching the calendar rather than the driveway.
Dos Hombres, the tequila brand from Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, has released its second reposado, this one finished in barrels that previously held Four Roses bourbon. It's the label's second expression to date, a marker of a young brand settling into its own identity one barrel choice at a time. Around here, where a bourbon-finished tequila would slot comfortably next to the rye at a Naples dinner party, the pairing makes a certain kind of sense.
Bugatti brought its Bolide hypercar out to the Miami International Autodrome, and by every account, the run reset what a bucket list is supposed to hold. This is the F1 circuit doing what South Florida circuits are for — letting a car built for triple digits actually get there, on pavement that usually only sees open-wheel racers do the same. Palm Beach collects them in the garage; Naples keeps them under a cover on the dock; Miami is where one finally gets driven like it means it.
The New Museum, whose new building went up earlier this year, opens its large-scale fall exhibitions this week — the first full test of that expanded home. It is a moment New York's downtown art world has been anticipating, and one that carries a larger question with it: whether an institution built on its Bowery roots can also hold its own as an international name. For a museum that has always measured itself by its downtown character, the answer will be watched closely by anyone who follows where contemporary art is headed next.
A handbag's character has always been the slow kind — earned through years on someone's arm, not manufactured in a season. That kind of quiet authority usually takes a lifetime to accumulate. What's changed is the timeline: a designer's eye, applied with real judgment, can now compress that process considerably, so a new bag can carry itself like an old, trusted one almost immediately. On Worth Avenue, where a good bag is meant to outlast a decade of seasons, that head start matters more than most trends ever will.
Chevrolet has lowered the Silverado 1500 and tuned it for the street, and the result reads like a factory answer to the aftermarket. The revised suspension geometry adds lateral grip for a full-size pickup, while retuning aimed at traction gives the truck a cleaner launch off the line. The headline option is a supercharged V-8 good for 675 horsepower, offered not as a dealer add-on voided by fine print but with Chevrolet's own factory-backed warranty standing behind it. For collectors and owners who want serious output without stepping outside the manufacturer's coverage, that guarantee is the detail that separates this build from a shop conversion.
For the 2027 model year, Subaru is holding Forester pricing steady even as it pares back the number of gas-only trims on offer. Filling part of that gap is a new Wilderness Hybrid, bringing hybrid power to the Forester's off-road-focused trim for the first time. The change leaves the compact SUV's lineup smaller but more hybrid-leaning, with no added cost to the buyer.
WWD's archive dive lands on the 1980s workwear uniform that "9 to 5" put on screen — coordinated separates and the shoulder-padded power suit that told a room you were in charge before you said a word. It is a look our readers have never really let go of, from boardrooms to benefit committees: the jacket that does the talking, the skirt or trouser that means business, the whole silhouette built for a woman clocking in and clocking respect.
This season's wardrobe brief has one instruction: be seen. A new roundup from The Zoe Report points fall shoppers toward bold prints, punchy color, and accessories built to do the talking rather than fade into the background. The idea isn't a single new fabric or hue — it's a wardrobe that reads as unmistakably yours before anyone reads the label. From Palm Beach closets to Aspen's slope-side towns, the season's edit rewards personality over polish.
Short hair is having a run on this season's most polished heads, and it isn't one look but several — clipped tight at the nape, brushed back off the face, tousled just enough at the crown to look unstudied. It's a cut that leaves nowhere to hide, which is exactly its appeal: no styling tricks standing between the dress and the woman wearing it. On a red carpet or under a crown, the effect is the same — less hair, more presence.
Wrangler is teaming up with Nashville favorite Imogene + Willie on a denim and apparel collection built entirely with domestic manufacturing. The partnership isn't a one-off capsule — it's structured as three separate product drops, spanning both men's and women's pieces. Two names with very different denim pedigrees, betting together that American-made still has pull on a hangtag.
Maximilian Davis is giving the closet's most familiar pieces a more sensual edge for spring/summer 2027, per Elle. Wardrobe staples, the kind every closet already owns, are being reworked through what the house is calling a carnal lens — precision and polish, with heat underneath. For a house known for restraint, that is a notable turn to watch.
Larrabee Studios, one of Los Angeles' most storied recording studios, opened its doors this month for a new event pairing Champagne with live music. The evening was hosted by Krug, the Champagne house, inside the studio's rooms. Nas, Jeremy Pope and Ashlee Simpson were among the guests who attended.
At industry gatherings held over the past three months, producers and studio executives have repeatedly turned the conversation to two independent horror titles: Kane Parsons' "Backrooms" and Curry Barker's "Obsession." A co-chief at Sony Pictures Classics has described the pattern as a shift for the industry, likening it to the wave "Easy Rider" set off in the 1970s. That earlier film, made outside the studio system, helped open Hollywood to a new generation of independent voices. The executive's comparison points to Parsons' and Barker's work having a similar effect today, prompting sustained discussion among the people who greenlight and finance films. No details on wider distribution or release plans for either title were included in the report.
A trio of names dominated birth certificates across the country throughout the 1970s, and anyone marking a 50th birthday this season has a real chance of carrying one of them. It's the sort of fact that tends to surface at the kind of dinner where the conversation drifts to childhood classrooms, and someone realizes three other people at the table answered to the same name growing up. The rankings have moved considerably since, as any recent birth announcement makes plain. For a certain generation, though, the field of choices was once far narrower than it is today.
VideoAt a fall evening gathering in a Greenwich Village penthouse, Halle Berry told a room of emerging writers, directors and producers that films confronting violence still have room to grow. Th
Robin's egg blue and saddle brown carried the entire palette for an equestrian-themed editorial staged on the veranda at Abbott Mansion. A bronze satin curtain was drawn back to expose a backdrop painted with a woodland scene, setting the stage for the shoot. The two colors, which might have read as a nursery scheme on paper, took on a horseback-riding character once set against the mansion's veranda and the painted woods behind it. It was that pairing, worked into the architecture of the space, that gave the editorial its identity.
The New Jersey builder is putting its name behind detection technology as a smarter way to protect North Atlantic right whales, rather than relying on broad speed restrictions across wide stretches of water. Viking's position is that identifying whales directly would let protections target the places and moments they're actually present, instead of asking every boater to slow down regardless of conditions. It's a stance that pairs the yard's engineering credibility with a conservation approach meant to work for both the whales and the owners navigating around them. The builder frames the technology as a more precise tool than a one-size-fits-all rule.
Nitrogen crossed the wire first in the Beldame Stakes, a result that puts the mare's name squarely into Breeders' Cup planning for November. The win came in a weekend when a postponement had already scrambled the racing calendar for September 26 and 27, forcing organizers to work around the disruption to get the card in. That Nitrogen's stakes effort still went off as the marquee result of the meeting speaks to how closely connections and handicappers alike were watching this particular test. A Beldame victory carries real weight on the road to the Cup, and this one arrives with the extra distinction of having survived a schedule nobody planned for.
From the North End to Worth Avenue, the uniform under the linen and the caftans rarely changes, and Town & Country's latest confirms what closets here have long known: the Levi's 501 Original Fit still earns its place. Decades of hype, and the straight-leg classic holds up to every bit of it.
An $11 million estate called Merrick Farm has a full-size indoor basketball court, the kind that has reportedly drawn former NBA players to run drills under its roof. The property also comes with a resistance pool and a dedicated sports lounge, the sort of amenities that suggest an owner who wanted a serious home gym and simply kept going. Down here, the backyard court usually means a hoop bolted above the garage; up north, apparently, it means a regulation floor with its own wing.
A drop-top G-Wagen with nearly 900 horsepower is coming, and only ten will exist worldwide — which means the math around here is simple: Palm Beach has more of these things per capita than most countries, Naples would rather not be seen wanting one, and Miami will just buy two. Wherever they land, the waitlist conversation alone will outlast the build slots.
Brabus has built a convertible version of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the tuning house is putting a hard number on how rare it will be: just ten examples, worldwide. The open-top 4x4 is said to produce close to 900 horsepower, a figure that puts it well ahead of any standard G-Class variant on the road. For a body style that Mercedes itself has never offered on the current G-Wagen, a production run that small all but guarantees the car becomes a fixture on collector want-lists the moment deliveries begin. We have not driven it, and we won't speculate on what one might command when the first of the ten changes hands.
The Los Angeles property that served as the exterior for the Banks family mansion on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" has returned to the market with a $6.5 million reduction on its asking price. The house remains one of Bel-Air's more recognizable addresses, its gates and driveway familiar to generations of viewers of the 1990s sitcom long before any listing photo.
Starting Thursday, eBay will no longer allow airbags or airbag inflators to be listed for sale on its marketplace, whether the seller is an individual or a company. The prohibition applies across the platform, with no separate allowance for private listings or dealer accounts. For owners and shops that have used the site to source these components, the change removes a marketplace where such parts had previously changed hands.
Car and Driver has weighed in on Revology's reproduction Mustang Boss 302, and the verdict leaves little room for a rival: this is as close to the genuine 1970 article as a modern buyer can get. The outlet's own line said it best — anyone chasing a more faithful vintage muscle car had better start building a time machine. For collectors who want the look, the sound, and the pedigree of the original without the compromises of a fifty-year-old survivor, Revology's build appears to close that gap about as tightly as it can be closed.
The Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse has been out of production for years, but on the rare afternoon one rolls up to a Naples restaurant or a Palm Beach gala, the reaction hasn't dulled with age. A recent evaluation drive confirmed what regulars on this stretch of coast already suspected: more than two decades on, the car still stops conversation cold. Around here, that's a low bar for a Ferrari and a high one for almost everything else — which is exactly why this one still earns the second look.
Every winter, some corner of a Palm Beach club argument turns to who should play 007 next, and this fall the guessing has fresh fuel: a run of actors is now being floated as Daniel Craig's successor. Nobody here expects a Floridian in the tux — but the debate itself is practically a local sport, the kind that gets settled over cocktails long before the studio decides anything.
Feadship has unveiled a 377-foot megayacht concept, its largest design to date, built around a glass-bottomed pool that extends from the deck into the interior of the vessel. Anyone walking beneath it looks straight up through open water. It is the kind of detail that separates a very large boat from a genuinely considered one, and the kind of thing that turns heads on the ICW whenever a build like this eventually makes it down to South Florida for fitting out or a season at anchor.
Kris Jenner has withdrawn her Hidden Hills estate from sale, keeping the $13.5 million property rather than turning it over to a new owner. The house has long held a rare role for a residence: across years of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," it appeared on screen nearly as often as the family itself, its rooms and grounds familiar to viewers long before any listing ever went public. Taking it back off the market means one of the most recognized addresses in Hidden Hills stays exactly where it has always been.
Meg Ryan's secluded Bridgehampton estate has changed hands for $15.25 million, with Broadway and entertainment producer Henry Tisch as the buyer. The sale closes out one owner's long, private hold on a property built for seclusion, out past the hedges where the East End trades privacy at a premium. It lands another figure from the entertainment world onto Bridgehampton's roster of low-profile estate owners, in a market where the address itself is often the selling point.
Gardeners tending the grounds of the season's larger properties have one more reason to put off the annual tidy-up. Perennial seedheads left standing through autumn and into winter serve as a food source for birds, and cutting them back too early removes it. The advice applies to the borders and back lawns of grand houses as much as any modest yard: leave the stems be, let the seedheads stand, and let the birds work through them on their own schedule.
Numarine has introduced the 27XP, an explorer yacht built on the platform established by its 26XP. The new model carries forward that boat's outdoor-living emphasis with expanded deck and open-air space, giving owners more room to live outside once at anchor. Underpinning it is a new 48-volt hybrid energy architecture, a system aimed at owners who want quieter, more efficient running power aboard.
A Valhalla Boatworks V-37 has come onto the market, built on a stepped-v hull with a ventilated tunnel designed to keep the ride fast and dry. Triple Mercury outboards supply the power, and a Seakeeper gyro is fitted to hold the boat steady both at rest and underway. It is the kind of build that pairs serious speed with a level, comfortable ride.
According to Flying, the solo endorsement process trips up more student pilots and instructors than most expect. The setbacks trace to essential requirements that get overlooked and misconceptions about what the endorsement actually covers. Both students working toward that first solo and the CFIs signing off on them are exposed to the same errors.
Sheltair has established a new scholarship program worth $32,000, funding four separate awards for aviation training. The program carries the name of company founder Jerry Holland, tying the awards to his legacy in the industry. For owners who depend on a steady pipeline of trained pilots, technicians, and support staff, initiatives like this address a workforce need that touches every hangar and flight department. The awards are open to candidates pursuing training across the aviation field.
A 1953 Cessna 170B — the direct predecessor to the 172, aviation's best-selling airplane — has surfaced for sale in well-preserved condition, according to a listing highlighted by AircraftForSale. The 170B carries the rounded, tailwheel-era styling that Cessna moved away from as later four-place singles traded shape for utility. For owners who value lineage as much as capability, it's a reminder that the 172's family tree started somewhere more distinctive.
The 1995 documentary that followed Isaac Mizrahi backstage—long before backstage footage was a genre unto itself—is being rereleased, and the designer has been talking about why it still holds up. In new conversation, Mizrahi ranges from Prince to Marty Supreme to the parade of models who passed through his ateliers, treating the film less as nostalgia than as a record of a working design house at full tilt. For a set of readers who know the difference between a fitting and a show, that unfiltered backstage view is the appeal.
Diana Reid has written the screenplay for the new Sense and Sensibility, and she isn't pretending the book arrived at her desk untouchable. Her word for the approach is "respectful but not reverent" — meaning the source earned her care, not her obedience. She went in prepared to change things, and did. It's the sort of candor that plays well with a readership that has kept its own worn copy of Austen on the shelf for years and knows the difference between an adaptation and a copy.
Worth Avenue window displays are already turning over for fall, and the shift starts at the ankle, not the shoulder. This season's edit leans toward polished flats in rich finishes and a proper boot, the kind that carries a woman from a Royal Poinciana Way lunch straight into evening without a second thought. It is a quiet signal for anyone reading the island's storefronts closely: the handbag can wait its turn this year.
At a fall evening gathering in a Greenwich Village penthouse, Halle Berry told a room of emerging writers, directors and producers that films confronting violence still have room to grow. The Oscar winner said stories that approach violence from a woman's perspective fill a gap the industry has yet to close. Guests mingled with established figures from the industry over hors d'oeuvres as the sun set over the city, taking in Berry's case for the approach. She described it as a perspective the world could use more of right now.
The New York Racing Association has called off live racing at Belmont Park for both Saturday and Sunday, standing down the weekend program as a powerful nor'easter bears down on the region. Forecasters are tracking extremely high winds with the system, prompting the track to act ahead of post time rather than wait out the weather. The decision clears the Belmont oval for what would otherwise be a full weekend slate, with racing to resume once conditions allow.
Sovereignty, the reigning Horse of the Year, was back over Saratoga's training track Friday morning, breezing four furlongs in :49.40. The son of Into Mischief worked under the eye of trainer Bill Mott, who said afterward that the Breeders' Cup Classic remains the plan. It marked the champion's return to the work tab, the clearest sign yet that his fall campaign is moving forward on schedule. The breeze came over the training oval rather than Saratoga's main track, the customary way a horse's works build back toward raceday sharpness. For a colt carrying Horse of the Year honors into autumn, the number on the clock said as much as Mott's word: preparations for the Classic are underway.
Beauty Truth Good, a 2-year-old filly by Into Mischief, broke her maiden at Belmont Park as one of two runners entered in the race by trainer Chad Brown. She came home best of the field, a workmanlike trip that got the job done. Her dam, Nonna Madeline, is herself a stakes winner and graded-stakes-placed earner of $290,968, by Candy Ride (Arg).
Sportmax's design team has settled on the season's guiding word for Spring 2027: lightness. The house says this year's run of intense heat waves shaped the collection, leaving the studio with what it calls a "longing for lightness." It's a brief drawn straight from the weather rather than from trend forecasting. The result is a Sportmax season built, by the team's own account, around relief rather than layers.
Forget dress codes for a moment — the item fragrance insiders can't stop discussing this season doesn't hang in anyone's closet. Niche perfumers chasing the smell of a rainstorm are having a moment, and those who track scent closely say the look, despite its under-the-radar reputation, wears easier than expected. Call it the wardrobe's newest neutral: it goes with everything, and no one has to see it to know it's there.
Stylist Ib Abdel Nasser has sent Lili Reinhart down the press tour in a stitch-for-stitch copy of the "Unsung Hero" dress Brittany Murphy wore in Uptown Girls, the 2003 comedy that has quietly outlasted most of its red carpet contemporaries. The stop belongs to Reinhart's rounds for The Love Hypothesis, and the choice reads as a deliberate nod rather than a coincidence — an exact replica, not a loose homage. Harper's Bazaar got the exclusive first look, tying a two-decade-old costume moment to a current press cycle in one frame.
Across Fashion Month, designers are sending corsets, bra tops and slip dresses down the runway not as foundations but as the finished look — done up in saturated color rather than the usual nude. The idea: a bustier stands in for a blouse, and concealment gives way to confidence. For a coastline that has never needed convincing that a well-cut swimsuit counts as eveningwear, the jump from lingerie drawer to closet rod won't take much explaining.
Nike's latest Air Force 1 Low turns parade day into permanent footwear, with confetti-print soles marking all five of Kobe Bryant's championship celebrations. The upper plays it subtler by design: mismatched overlay panels and a faint snakeskin texture, details built for close-up study rather than a glance. It's a shoe that rewards the kind of sneaker literacy this category has earned — commemorative without being loud about it.
Nike is marking Kobe Bryant's five championship parades with an Air Force 1 Low built for the occasion: a confetti-flecked sole underfoot, mismatched overlays across the upper, and a snakeskin texture worked in just subtly enough to reward a second look. It is a shoe that counts, literally, in its own construction — five title runs distilled into one sneaker's details.
Still Here, the New York denim brand, is putting down roots on the West Coast. The label's first store outside its home city lands on Melrose Avenue, long the address for labels looking to make their case to Los Angeles. It is a coast-to-coast move for a brand built on New York denim, now testing the fit of Southern California retail. The opening marks Still Here's first physical foothold beyond the city where it started.
The Australian singer-songwriter has put pen to paper with EMPIRE Nashville, joining a roster built in the part of town where the deals get made, not just talked about. It is the kind of signing that reminds you Music Row's gravity now pulls from well outside city limits. EMPIRE marked the moment with a celebration befitting a label welcoming new talent into the fold.
Bryan Martin has set a release date for his next record. The Nashville artist's new album, "OD'in On A Dream," arrives October 30 via Average [label], the kind of news that moves quietly through Green Hills studios before it ever reaches a marquee. No arena rollout, no fanfare — just a working artist adding another title to the catalog. The date is now on the books for anyone keeping track of what's coming out of town this fall.
Reba McEntire has put out her sixth music capsule collection, titled Could Have Been Raining, giving fans a new release to work through this week. The set marks another entry in the ongoing capsule series she has been building out, adding to a catalog that continues to grow one release at a time. For a town that treats a record drop the way other places treat a market open, it's the kind of morning news that gets passed around before the coffee's cold.
Luke Bryan brought "Signs" home yesterday (Sept. 24), marking the album's release with a celebration at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville's arena district is used to hosting the industry's biggest nights, but this one belonged to a hometown act toasting new work with friends in the room. It is the kind of evening this city does better than anywhere else: real craft, real crowd, no pretense required.
VideoEvery fall in Beverly Hills, the manicure gets permission to shift first, and October has always been the month it goes all the way. The rule that held through September, the one that kept a
Stainless steel cookware is having a renewed moment in kitchens across the country. It never actually went away, but for a stretch during lockdown, nonstick pans dominated the conversation and crowded it out of view. Now cooks are giving stainless its due again, drawn back to a pan that was always there.
John Green, the author who spent two decades turning teenage readers into lifelong ones, is publishing his first novel written for grown-ups. He marked the moment the way any sensible New Yorker would this week — breakfast, then a stop at MoMA — before sitting down to talk through the book, called Ending. He spoke openly about his run-ins with Hollywood over the years adapting his work for the screen, and about what fame actually feels like once the paperbacks are already stacked in every airport bookstore. Green admitted that adulthood itself once unsettled him, but between the museum visit and the new title, he sounds like a writer who has decided, on his own terms, that it's time.
General Motors has introduced an 8.3-liter diesel engine that incorporates technology developed for a smaller, more advanced Duramax variant nearly two decades ago. That earlier engine, developed for pickups in the late 2000s, was shelved when the recession forced GM to pull back on the program before it reached production. Some of its engineering has now found a home in the new 8.3-liter unit, giving the canceled project a second life under the hood rather than in a showroom.
Nissan has built a one-off concept version of its Z sports car that pushes the design further back toward the nameplate's earliest generations than prior concepts have. The car will make its debut on the show floor at ZCON, the Z-focused gathering taking place in Phoenix, giving enthusiasts their first in-person look at the design study. As a one-off, it exists as a single example rather than a preview of anything headed for production.
Keeneland's September Yearling Sale kept its momentum through Book 5A, closing out Thursday's session with two days of selling still ahead. The stretch of ten completed sessions carried forward the strength that marked the sale's opening week in Lexington, Kentucky. Vekoma emerged as the sale's leading sire over the book, while trainer Kenny McPeek pursued a second success at the auction. The results kept Keeneland's fall marketplace on solid footing as bidding heads into its final two days.
In estates built with walk-in closets the size of guest rooms, the clothing rack has become its own design decision. A new lineup ranges from a colorful, sculptural squiggle piece to a minimal chrome fixture and an industrial ceiling-mounted bar, each suited to a different kind of overflow. For the wardrobes too large for a single rod, the rack is no longer an afterthought tucked in a corner — it is furniture.
Designers say a short list of understated adjustments can make a living room look meaningfully more expensive than it is. The changes are modest — the kind of editing that happens before a house is shown, not a renovation — yet they shift how a room reads the moment someone walks in. In a market where presentation carries as much weight as the listing itself, that distinction is worth noting.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has announced a $10 million fund dedicated to protecting the nation's historic landmarks. The nonprofit's president and CEO called it an urgent, pivotal moment for the preservation of America's architectural heritage. For a country whose historic houses and estates are as much a record of craft as of ownership, the commitment marks new capital behind the work of keeping them standing.
Flamingo Estate, the Los Angeles brand, is putting pieces from its private archive up for sale. The offerings include work by Gaetano Pesce, Murano glass, and a selection of tea sets the estate had kept out of its regular shop. These are objects the house held onto for itself, now available to collectors rather than staying in storage.
A newly discovered painting by Diego Velázquez has entered the Getty's collection in Los Angeles, the museum's first work by the Spanish master. The acquisition brings a painter long absent from the Getty's holdings into the fold at last, closing a gap that collectors and curators alike have watched for years. For a collection built painting by painting, this is the kind of arrival that reorders the walls.
The Taschens bought their Beverly Hills home in 2018 and spent the eight years since restoring it down to the smallest detail, work that now stands behind a $25 million asking price. It is the kind of stewardship collectors recognize even before they read the listing: not a flip, but a long, patient return of a mid-century house to its original character. Los Angeles has no shortage of design pedigree on the market this season, but few come with eight years of documented care attached.
Jonathan Abbott, who most recently led the nonprofit GBH, has been named the new director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles. The appointment marks a departure from the museum's usual playbook, drawing its next leader from outside the traditional art-world track. MOCA's board will now look to Abbott to steer one of the city's defining contemporary art institutions forward.
The fair's move to a late-September date brought a calmer start to opening day this year, with none of the rush that once defined the morning hours. Dealers were not complaining. By the time the week wrapped, sales across the floor ranged from a few thousand dollars for smaller works to well into six figures for the strongest pieces on view. For a fair now finding its footing in a new slot on the calendar, steady business looks like its own kind of success.
Collectors at Independent 20th Century this month can walk up to canvases that once caught the eye of the physicists at Los Alamos. The paintings belong to Emil Bisttram, a leading voice of the Transcendental movement, whose surreal, atomic-tinged compositions are now hanging in Addison Rowe Gallery's booth at the New York fair. It is an unusual pairing of subject and audience: abstract, spiritually minded painting that once resonated with the scientists building the bomb. For anyone building out a collection around American modernism, the booth offers a direct look at where that history and this art actually met.
Rhapsody Spa has brought its sound bath poolside, pairing crystal tones with water so guests float rather than sit through the session. It is the kind of detail that reads as very Green Hills: the wellness crowd here doesn't just want the treatment, it wants the treatment reimagined. A sound bath is meditative enough on solid ground; on the water, with crystals doing the work, it becomes something closer to an event.
The undergarment is stepping out from beneath the blouse. Spring 2027 runway previews point to a season where the bra is worn as the outfit's headline, not its secret, with the look turning up across multiple labels rather than one designer's signature move. For a wardrobe built on layering rules, that is a small but telling reversal.
Hailey Bieber is arguing, with her feet, that the strappy summer standby doesn't need to hang up its heels once the temperature drops. She's carrying the sandal straight into fall dressing instead of swapping it out for boots on schedule. It's a small act of footwear defiance, and on her, a fairly convincing one.
Nike is setting up shop in SoHo with a pop-up dedicated to giving its worn sneakers and apparel another chapter, rather than a place in the landfill. The timing is no accident: the shop opens alongside Climate Week, as New York fills with events built around sustainability. For a city that treats its sidewalks like runways, the idea that a well-loved pair of sneakers deserves a second act fits right in.
The Lebanese artist, who spent her final chapter as an Angeleno, arrives at the Hammer Museum for her first retrospective on American soil. It is a homecoming staged in the city that became her own, decades after she first made her name.
Dakota Johnson has settled on a shade for the season: a warm, coffee-toned brown dubbed "Brown Sugar Espresso." The color reads polished rather than severe, the kind of neutral that photographs as easily at a benefit dinner as it does on a Tuesday. Manicurists are already naming it fall's defining nail trend, which means salons from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills should expect the request by name soon enough.
Sabrina Ionescu's signature Nike line marks its first Halloween entry with the Sabrina 4 "Halloween," a sneaker built for the holiday rather than merely dressed for it — a swoosh finished in a blood-dipped effect, lace dubraes shaped like fangs, and a vampire graphic of Ionescu herself worked into the design. It is a full seasonal costume rendered in shoe form, from the eyelets down to the outsole.
The Bermuda bag, long a fixture of the preppy wardrobes that built the Hamptons and Nantucket summer uniform, is returning to shelves this season. dé Lanthe has reworked its own archive piece rather than starting from scratch, drawing the update directly from the bag's own history. The result keeps the silhouette that made it a staple while giving it a more current finish. It is a rare case of a house looking backward to move forward.
Vans is dressing its Old Skool silhouette in a dense floral motif for Day of the Dead, landing in a colorway built for fall. It's an unusually ornamental turn for a sneaker best known for its clean lines and simple graphics — pattern taking over as the shoe's main event this season.
Coach has reworked its Brooklyn bag for the new season, stretching the shape into a longer, leaner line and offering it in a choice of suede or leather. It's a quiet recut rather than a full redesign — the kind of update that rewards longtime carriers without abandoning what made the original a staple. Expect the elongated version to show up on the arms of the well-dressed from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills as the weather turns.
The first lady chose a bow-wrapped gown for the black tie State Dinner honoring China's President Xi Jinping, a graphic, gift-wrapped silhouette built for the occasion's formality. The room around her mixed political and business America: Ivanka Trump and Lauren Sanchez represented the social side of the evening, while Apple's Tim Cook, OpenAI's Sam Altman and Citigroup's Jane Fraser brought technology and finance to the same guest list. It is the kind of dinner where a dress has to hold its own against that range of company, and Melania's did.
Chanel has named Lucia Pieroni its creative makeup director, putting her at the helm of how the house defines makeup across its collections. The title is the top creative post in that category at the maison, the kind of appointment that decides what a Chanel face looks like going forward.
The setting decides the band, not the other way around. Six engagement-ring styles now have a companion band that sits flush, stacks clean, and doesn't fight the center stone for attention. For a bride assembling her hand for the wedding day rather than just the proposal, that pairing is worth settling before the fitting, not after.
Every fall in Beverly Hills, the manicure gets permission to shift first, and October has always been the month it goes all the way. The rule that held through September, the one that kept a summer finish alive a few weeks longer, quietly lifts, and oxblood and leopard move onto the appointment book. It's a small change on the hand, but it's the surest sign the season has turned before the rest of the wardrobe catches up.
Riviera paired the worldwide debut of its Belize 55 Daybridge with the U.S. introduction of the 4300 Sports Express, giving American buyers their first look at the builder's newest express cruiser. The Sports Express joins the Daybridge as part of Riviera's latest model lineup, built for owners who want a do-it-all boat suited to both day cruising and longer runs. The two launches mark a fresh chapter for the Australian builder's presence on this side of the Atlantic.
Pilatus says its PC-12 Pro's emergency autoland capability has cleared certification with both the FAA and its European counterpart, EASA. That double sign-off matters to owners of the single-engine turboprop, many of whom fly it themselves under single-pilot rules rather than with a hired crew. A system that can land the aircraft on its own now carries the same regulatory standing on both sides of the Atlantic, not just approval in one jurisdiction. The capability moves from company claim to certified feature.
The rebuilt Belmont Park opened to its first real audience this week, and by the sound of it, the track cleared the bar. Racing insiders, elected officials, and fans on hand gave the new facility high marks. The moment got an extra jolt from Forever Young, who made a closely watched return to competition on the new course. For a circuit that lives and dies by its venues as much as its horses, a strong debut like this one matters.
Original Sin got the edge in a competitive field to win the 45th running of the Goodwood Stakes at Santa Anita Park, taking home the lion's share of a $300,000 purse. Forty-five runnings is a considerable history for any stakes race to carry, and this year's field did nothing to make it easy — the kind of tight going that keeps a result in doubt until a horse actually crosses the line. Original Sin did, and the connections leave Arcadia with the biggest check the card had to offer.
A new Miranda Lambert single is turning heads in the wake of the Americana Music Association's awards week, which brought a wash of genre releases with it. MusicRow's single-review column singled hers out for its atmospheric, reverb-laced production. The timing puts her among a broader crop of Americana music arriving this week.
Kobi Karp's newest Miami Beach commission is asking $42 million, and the number that matters most to anyone who's ever hunted for a boat slip is 90 — as in feet of water frontage, with a private dock attached. The six-bedroom house also carries a rooftop terrace looking back at the skyline, the kind of view that reminds you why people pay Miami prices in the first place. Palm Beach buys history and Naples buys quiet; Miami buys a dock this size and a skyline to match, and this one has both.
Volkswagen has pushed the U.S. return of its electric ID.Buzz back to the 2028 model year. The van, which already sat out the 2026 model year, had been expected back in American showrooms this fall. Buyers waiting to order one will now do so two model years later than planned.
VideoA reception built around an olive grove look is putting new weight on one detail: the dance floor itself, lettered with a message for the couple. The palette stayed deliberately restrained,
The 123-foot yacht Lollipop announces itself the moment a guest steps below deck: a candy-inspired interior designed by Vripack, built for pure delight rather than quiet formality. Every room leans into color and playful form, treating the cabin as an invitation rather than a display case. It is a reminder that scale and whimsy are not opposites aboard a yacht this size.
A Swiss watchmaker marked the 30th anniversary of its Overseas collection with a new ultra-thin perpetual calendar in a striking blue dial — the kind of blue that reads differently depending on which coast you're standing on. In Naples, it would disappear under a linen cuff at a quiet dinner. In Miami, it would catch every bit of light on a Brickell balcony at dusk. Palm Beach would probably just call it correct. Thirty years in, the piece is built to work in all three rooms.
Oyster has introduced its new flagship sailing superyacht, the Oyster 36M, a 118-footer built to be shaped by whoever signs the check. In a state where a Palm Beach dock and a Naples marina can disagree about nearly everything except the size of the boat, that kind of latitude travels well. The builder says owners can customize the yacht to their own specifications, leaving the particulars up to whoever is paying the yard bill.
Somewhere between the Bentley and the beach chair, the noise-canceling headphones have joined the luggage. Thom Browne and Bose have put out a pair wrapped in cashmere, the kind of detail that only registers as necessary once you've flown private enough times to notice your ears are cold. It is a small collaboration, built for a specific kind of quiet: the one a person wants on a plane, not a beach.
According to Elle Decor, the best-appointed homes share four deliberate design choices that read as effortless rather than staged. It is the layer a buyer or guest feels before they can name it — the line between a house that looks decorated and one that simply looks right. In Palm Beach and Naples, where a home's ease is as much a selling point as its square footage, that distinction is the whole game.
CK Reed, an artist and contributor to Surface, spent this year's Detroit Month of Design working in ink rather than in review copy. The event, organized by Design Core, sent her through some of the city's most recognizable buildings, and her illustrations followed: the Cranbrook campus, the restored Michigan Central depot, and The Shepherd, the former church now given over to art and design. Reed's pages move from one landmark to the next, a hand-drawn itinerary of what the month put in front of its visitors. It is a record of place as much as of the event itself, one building at a time.
Not every bedroom in a great American house is meant to impress by its footprint. Designers have long treated the modest guest room or tucked-away primary suite as its own kind of test: can a small space feel as considered, as finished, as generous as the grand rooms downstairs. The answer, increasingly, is yes—scale turns out to have little to do with how a bedroom actually feels to sleep in. Size isn't the point. Craft is.
Bette Davis said she lived in at least 75 houses over the course of her life, a run of addresses that carried the two-time Oscar winner from coast to coast. "I acquired houses as other women acquire jewels," she once said, describing an appetite for real estate that outpaced any single career or marriage. Architectural Digest has now traced that itinerary in a new tour of her homes, from Hollywood to the far side of the country. The figure alone — 75, by her own count — says more about how she chose to live than any one address could.
Estate gardens are taking on late-season work with a purpose: eight flowering varieties, chosen for color that holds into fall, are being recommended to support monarch butterflies on their migration south. The appeal for grounds this size is practical as much as ornamental—beds that read well from a terrace or a drive can also serve as a waystation, timed to bloom exactly when the migration passes through. For the properties where a working garden is part of the design, it is one more detail that makes the landscape function, not just photograph.
More than ten years after launching her label, Sandy Liang is publishing her first book. The designer is putting her own story on the page for the first time, a milestone that marks over a decade of building her name in fashion.
Queen Latifah, Sharon Stone and Melissa McCarthy stepped out for Variety's Power of Women 2026 red carpet, joining a slate of honorees recognized for their influence in entertainment. The gathering remains one of Hollywood's marquee dress-up occasions, where achievement and personal style share the spotlight.
MM6 Maison Margiela's newest outing put clothes to unfamiliar use, with pieces repurposed and worn in ways their original cut never quite intended. Yet it was something much smaller that stole the charm: a collaboration with Havaianas, the flip-flop label, proved the unexpected favorite of the lineup. Even in a collection built around clever reworking, the simplest idea won the room.
Spring 2027 collections are reviving the mullet hem — the asymmetric cut that stays short up front and trails long in back, a signature look of 2010s dressing. It is a silhouette that happens to suit both rooms we watch: the pageant stage, where a judge wants to see the shoe, and the carpet, where the train does the talking on the way out. Designers reaching for it again suggests the appeal was never really retired, just waiting for the right season to reappear. Whether it shows up on a runner-up sash or a step-and-repeat, the shape is built to work from every angle.
Harper's Bazaar is calling it: the draped top is the trend fashion insiders are quietly building their fall wardrobes around, with seven distinct ways to wear it. Think fabric gathered, pulled, and pinned rather than simply buttoned — a silhouette borrowed from the red carpet now migrating into everyday closets from Palm Beach lunches to Aspen apres-ski. It is a style built on technique rather than logo, which is exactly the kind of trend a well-dressed reader can make her own seven different ways.
In 2026, beauty brands are treating the box as seriously as what's inside it, choosing color, font, shape and material on purpose to spark a feeling and hold up across every screen and shelf. For our readers, that is a familiar instinct — the same one that decides which frame flatters a gown on a step-and-repeat, or which case a crown travels in. Presentation, it turns out, is never an afterthought.
The accessory report from Thom Browne's Fall 2026 collection came with an unusual line item: headphones. The Thom Browne for Bose QuietComfort Ultra, debuted on the runway, carries a $950 price tag befitting the house's tailoring pedigree. Shoppers won't have to wait for a future season to get a pair—the collaboration goes on sale Monday. It's a rare instance of a runway reveal converting straight into a checkout page, no translation required.
The California label known for its sunset-striped sweats is heading to the gridiron, launching an official collection in partnership with the NFL just as fall football season kicks off. It marks a new lane for the brand, trading beachy Americana for team colors and league branding.
Coach's Brooklyn bag arrives for fall in four distinct proportions — the 26, 28, 34 and 39 — each built around a different notion of what "everyday" actually requires. The smaller numbers keep to the essentials: wallet, keys, phone, done. Climb toward the 39 and the bag starts making room for a workday's worth of paperwork and gear without losing the silhouette's shape. It's less a single bag than a sizing system, letting the same design serve a night out and a full schedule without asking the wearer to own two different bags. That kind of range is rarer than it sounds — most bags pick a size and stay there.
A fresh denim shade is easing out the classic blue jean this fall, prized for pairing as easily as its predecessor did. For a wardrobe built around Worth Avenue lunches and easy weekend errands alike, that kind of versatility is the whole point.
Eugene Remm's Corner Store has become the reservation to chase in New York, drawing Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and the Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns through its doors. The restaurateur is now weighing where the concept goes next, testing whether it can hold up beyond Manhattan. For a crowd that splits its calendar between the North End and the city, that guest list already looks familiar. Vanity Fair reports the real question is whether the formula travels as well as its regulars do.
Joseph Altuzarra and Zac Posen — names that have shared a runway calendar for more than ten years — have joined forces on a line of fall essentials for Old Navy. Both are established veterans of the industry who happen to be having their best years yet, and this pairing puts that experience toward something as unglamorous, and as necessary, as a working wardrobe. It is the kind of collaboration that quietly raises the bar on the basics, which is worth noting as the island's closets start their own seasonal turnover.
A spaceship model from Star Trek, missing for years, has resurfaced and made its way to MIT. For collectors of film and television memorabilia, a screen-used piece like this counts among the rarest kind of find: something long presumed gone, turning up intact. Its arrival on campus means a piece of the franchise's history is no longer just a memory for the people who kept looking for it.
Storm King Art Center will stage an exhibition devoted entirely to Ellsworth Kelly's sculpture, opening in May 2027. The show is billed as the first of its kind for the artist, bringing together several of his monumental works in a single exhibition. Storm King has announced the date well in advance, giving visitors a long runway to plan a visit. It marks a rare instance of the artist's large-scale sculpture appearing together in one place.
The artist has a fresh body of work on view at David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles, and by her own account, she doesn't come at the canvas head-on. "I go sideways to painting," Madani said of her approach, and the works now hanging in the gallery are described as unflinching. For collectors watching the city's gallery calendar this season, it's a stop worth making.
A single sale room did the convincing. After the Jim Irsay memorabilia auction brought in $105 million, Christie's specialist Bonnie Brennan said she had never witnessed anything like the energy inside it. The house has now moved to formalize that appetite, launching a dedicated Pop Culture division rather than treating such sales as one-off events. For collectors who have watched memorabilia edge toward the same serious market treatment as fine art and design, the signal is hard to miss.
Christie's, Sotheby's, Phillips, and Bonhams have each raised their buyer's premiums this year, the added charge tacked onto the hammer price that determines what a winning bidder actually pays. All four of the major salerooms making the adjustment in the same year is a notable instance of near-unison movement among houses that otherwise compete hard for the same bidders. For a collector, the number that matters is no longer just where the gavel falls — it's that figure plus a heavier premium than a year ago. The change reaches across categories, from paintings to design, at houses that continue to court collectors for their top sales. Whatever the reasoning behind it, the shift is a reminder that winning at auction has always been about more than the bid alone.
A shade Miata owners have long reached for through independent body shops is now being applied at the factory on the current-generation MX-5. Mazda will build the color into a run of just six cars, so the sanctioned version will be rarer than the respray it was meant to replace. For a roadster whose following prizes small, specific details, a run of six is the kind of number collectors keep track of.
Forever Young has moved into the No. 1 spot in the latest Breeders' Cup Classic power rankings, the biweekly tally compiled by a panel of racing media that runs every two weeks through Oct. 20. The rankings track how the field for America's marquee dirt championship is shaping up in the weeks before post time, and this update marks the first time Forever Young has held the top position. For a colt now setting the pace in the rankings alone, it is a marker worth watching as the Classic picture continues to sharpen.
Brendan Walsh has built a reputation as one of the sport's most well-regarded trainers, and his record carries the weight to match. His stable's list of Grade I winners includes Maxfield, Pretty Mischievous and Santin, each of whom reached the sport's highest level under his care. That combination of popularity and proven results is rare in the trainers' colony, and it is central to why his name carries such weight around the barn area.
A review published by Variety credits actor Éanna Hardwicke with carrying "Ancestors," a film the outlet describes as a queer elegy for a lost generation. The review points to the film's final onscreen text, which appears at the close of the credits: "No survivors, only descendants," a line that gives context to the film's title.
Lionsgate has released the trailer for "Day Drinker," a thriller directed by Marc Webb. The film stars Johnny Depp alongside Penélope Cruz and Madelyn Cline. The studio has scheduled the movie for a theatrical release on March 26, 2027. Lionsgate is billing the project as a twisty thriller featuring the three actors in lead roles.
Across hotels, resorts, and every other premium travel brand, the same question is being asked this season: does the next wave of top-spending travelers actually want what the last one wanted, or has that assumption quietly stopped holding? Nobody in the business has settled on an answer yet. Every operator with a high-end product is working out its own read on who this guest is, rather than reaching for the old profile out of habit. For an industry that has long prided itself on knowing its best customer by instinct, that is no small adjustment.
Southern California's racing calendar turns a page this week, as the Fall Meet resumes at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. The track, long known to horsemen as the Great Race Place, returns to its familiar spot at the center of the West Coast season. For Los Angeles racegoers, the reopening of live racing at Santa Anita is one of the surer signs that autumn has arrived.
Riley Green's "Change My Mind" hit the top of the charts, and the celebration didn't happen at some downtown venue built for tourists — it happened at BMI, the performing rights house that has quietly bankrolled this town's songwriting for decades. Green and his team gathered there yesterday, September 22, to mark the chart-topper. It's the kind of party this city has always thrown best: unglamorous rooms, real songwriters, a plaque on the wall to prove it.
The Grand Ole Opry will turn its spotlight on Canada's country music community on October 29th, part of a night built around "Grand Ole" programming dedicated to artists from across the border. It's a reminder of what actually makes the Opry the Opry — the stage doesn't care where you're from, only whether you belong on it. For a town that guards its institutions as carefully as Nashville does, opening that circle to another country's talent is its own kind of statement.
New images offer the first real look at the Land Rover Defender pickup truck that has been rumored for some time, according to Robb Report Motors. Reports indicate the model would be exclusive to the U.S. market, with production reportedly set for Detroit. Nothing has been confirmed by Land Rover, but the renderings give American buyers their clearest sense yet of what the truck may look like.
The long-rumored Land Rover Defender pickup has surfaced in early images, and if the reports hold, this one will be built in Detroit, exclusively for American buyers. That's the detail worth savoring here: a Land Rover truck wearing a U.S.-only badge, built on U.S. soil. Whether it ends up parked outside a Naples ranch gate or backed into a Palm Beach garage, it will be the first Defender Americans can call entirely their own.
Cygnet, the ultra-premium non-alcoholic gin, made its American debut over the weekend, giving the state's sober-curious set something new to order at cocktail hour. In Palm Beach, where restraint is its own kind of status, that means a glass that looks the part without deviating from form. In Miami, where the night rarely admits a pause, it means one more bottle behind the bar built for people staying sharp anyway. Naples, characteristically, will just be glad someone finally made one properly.
Michelle Williams, who first came to fame as one-third of Destiny's Child, is headed back to the classroom. Psychology is the subject she has her sights set on next, a pursuit that has nothing to do with the charts and everything to do with the mind. It is the kind of decision Palm Beach recognizes on sight — a life built on more than one calling, in a town that has always had a soft spot for the accomplished who go back for more.
Honda is reportedly developing a larger version of its three-row Pilot to go after Toyota's Grand Highlander in the full-size crossover segment. The catch, per the report, is timing: Honda is said to be racing to get the bigger Pilot to market before the segment's leaders pull further ahead. For a segment built on cargo room and third-row space, a size increase from Honda would be a direct answer to what buyers have been asking for.
Nissan America's top product executive tells The Drive the open-roof Z T-Top concept has a real shot at production — provided owners and enthusiasts make their interest known. The executive said the company is prepared to act if demand is loud enough. For now, the T-Top remains a concept, its future resting on how forcefully the Z faithful speak up.
Nissan has unveiled the Z Kaze, a concept variant of its sports coupe built around a T-top roof — the twin-panel, removable-panel layout that largely disappeared from performance cars more than twenty years ago. The finish and detailing on the concept read less like a design study and more like a car built with production in mind. For Z owners and collectors who remember the format's heyday, its reappearance marks a notable case of a shelved layout finding its way back onto a modern platform.
A newly revealed trimaran concept, called Fusion, has been drawn up at a length of 387 feet. The three-hulled profile sets it apart from the single-hull silhouettes that dominate yachts of comparable size, and the first photographs of the design have just been released. No builder, naval architect, or price has been made public. For owners and captains who track how far multihull design can scale, the images offer the first real sense of what a vessel this size, on three hulls, actually looks like.
On Our Way, an 80-foot Outer Reef, has come up for sale carrying a fresh electronics suite: new Garmin instrumentation at the helm, Starlink connectivity for staying in touch underway, and an upgraded A/V system throughout. It's the kind of package that matters most to serious offshore owners, who want a long-range motoryacht to feel as current below deck as it does at the helm. For buyers browsing the brokerage market, a well-equipped 80-footer like this one is a reminder that range and connectivity now go hand in hand.
Nashville doesn't need to be told where its music comes from, but Craig Morgan is telling us anyway. His next album, an 11-song set called "My Country," arrives in November, built around the heart, soul, and sounds of America. In a town where the industry lives in Green Hills and the money keeps its distance in Belle Meade, an artist naming his record after the country itself is a statement, not a gimmick. Eleven songs is a full, deliberate body of work, not a placeholder single. November gives it room to land before the year's end.
Last night, during the Opry's tribute to Charley Pride, Neal McCoy was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry family as an official member. In a town where old money keeps its distance in Belle Meade, this is the invitation that actually matters to the people who make the records — a formal welcome into the room where the format's history and its future keep the same address.
BMI, the performing rights organization long rooted in Music Row's daily business, has taken its songwriter showcase tradition out of town. The organization launched its first Sunseeker Resort Songwriter Series at Sunseeker Resort in Florida, extending a format built in Nashville writers' rooms to a new stage. For a town that treats its songwriters as the real engine behind the hits, seeing that talent showcased beyond the city limits is its own kind of hometown news.
The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is putting together a new exhibit tracing the life and career of Roger Miller, the Hall of Fame member whose songwriting helped define the sound coming out of this town. Nashville has always split its reputation between old money and the people who actually made the records, and Miller belongs firmly to the latter camp. Details on the exhibit's opening are still to come.
Jean Smart has signed on to appear in "The Families Stone," Searchlight Pictures' follow-up to the 2005 holiday comedy "The Family Stone." She joins a cast that already includes Rachel McAdams and Sarah Jessica Parker, among other previously announced names. Production details beyond casting have not been released.
Heart Aerospace says its new ES-36, an all-electric airliner built for short regional routes, is expected to make its first flight in 2028 and enter passenger service in 2031, carrying up to 36 people at a time. For a state where Palm Beach, Naples and Miami often feel like three separate coasts stitched together by long drives and short hops, a plane sized exactly for that kind of trip is worth noting well ahead of its arrival. It is not built for transatlantic ambition or big-airport bragging rights — just for getting a small group of people from one Florida runway to another, quietly.
Bentley built its reputation on the sound and heft of a big engine, so an electric SUV from a 107-year-old marque is worth a second look. The Torcal, the brand's first zero-emissions model, is said to make nearly 876 horsepower and reach 60 mph in 2.8 seconds — numbers that would have been unthinkable from Crewe a decade ago. Around here, where a Bentayga is as common as a golf cart, the Torcal will be the one everyone's straining to hear pull into the club and hearing nothing at all.
The distillery best known for playing it straight has finished a whisky in white-wine casks for the first time, a break from the usual sherry-and-bourbon script that's still turning heads from Palm Beach bars to Naples back porches. It's the kind of move a place with strong opinions about single malt notices immediately: not a gimmick, just a different finish on a familiar name. Whether it reads as a curiosity or an instant favorite may depend on which coast of Florida is pouring it.
Nick and Vanessa Lachey have put their Tarzana home back on the market for $8.2 million — the same house they sold to Naomi Osaka in 2022, then quietly bought back last year. Down here, where a Palm Beach estate rarely sees the same owner twice in a decade, that kind of round trip reads like a local telling a Realtor "actually, never mind, I'll keep it." Los Angeles real estate has its own rhythm, and apparently sometimes that rhythm loops.
The last DC-8 carrying a U.S. registration is done flying, and it isn't headed for the scrapper. The airframe, most recently flown as a freighter for Samaritan's Purse, is going on permanent display in Virginia as the centerpiece of a planned educational pavilion. Boeing is backing the project, putting its support behind preserving the type's final active example rather than letting it go to parts. For a fleet segment where retirement usually means teardown, this one ends on static display instead.
One veteran pilot's logbook traces back not to a simulator bay but to a book, a mentor who answered his questions, and a job he held while still in high school. For an owner whose flight department lives or dies on the judgment of the people up front, it's worth remembering that the habits showing up in the left seat today were often set down decades earlier, well before any type rating.
Owners footing the bill for annual inspections now have federal guidance on a question mechanics get asked often: whether washing the airframe is billable maintenance work or routine upkeep. The FAA has issued guidance addressing the point directly, aimed at both owners and the mechanics who sign off on their aircraft. For anyone managing inspection costs under Part 91, the distinction matters more than it sounds.
Textron Aviation has delivered its 500th Citation Latitude, a production run that has now stretched a little more than ten years since the midsize jet's entry into service. For an operator base that lives and dies by Part 91K fractional math and cabin economics, the number is a quiet marker of how the Latitude settled into its slot in the fleet, one delivery at a time, rather than a headline of its own.
Flying magazine is nearing its hundredth year in print, and it says the mission hasn't moved: serve the pilots who read it, not merely mark the anniversary. For an ownership community that has largely grown up with the title in hand, that's the notable part — continuity of readership over that many decades is rarer than the number of issues published. The magazine describes the milestone as a check-in on what its readers need next, not a victory lap.
Art in America built its Fall issue, titled "Icons," around a career-spanning profile of the painter William T. Williams. To mark the release, the magazine paired Williams with fellow artist Nari Ward for a public conversation. The discussion stayed close to the occasion, tracing the arc of Williams's career as told across the issue's pages.
Jon and Kim Shirley, longtime collectors of Alexander Calder, have stepped in to help restore the artist's celebrated sculpture at the Senate Building. It is a familiar role for the couple: in 2023, their devotion to Calder's work became public when they donated 48 of his pieces to the Seattle Art Museum. Now that same care extends to a Calder standing in one of the country's most storied buildings, kept in trust by two collectors who have made his legacy their own.
Knob Creek has bottled its 12-year-old bourbon at full barrel strength, skipping the usual dilution to proof and letting the whiskey stand as it came out of the cask. The original 12-year has long been one of Jim Beam's most respected bottles, and the higher-proof version is reported to be excellent — bigger, more concentrated, the kind of pour a good bar keeps in reach for guests who know to ask for it. It is a stronger edition of an already trusted name, not a new one.
A new industry read pulled from IHG, Priceline and McKinsey lands on a truth every good host already knows: getting a guest to say yes is not the same as keeping them settled. Travel brands have become exceptionally skilled at the moment a traveler clicks "book" — the offer, the price, the close. What comes after, when a guest starts wondering whether the room, the view, or the stay itself will live up to what sold them, is the part the research finds largely unanswered. For hotels and resorts, where a guest's ease at check-in is its own kind of craft, that stretch between booking and arrival is quietly becoming the next place hospitality has to show up.
Gaudreau, a son of Nyquist, broke his maiden in a 2-year-old special weight at Saratoga on Aug. 8, and that effort has him bound for Belmont Park this fall. The colt is slated to contest the Grade I Champagne Stakes on Oct. 3, one of the marquee tests for juveniles on the New York circuit. It's the kind of step up — from a summer maiden win in the Spa to a graded stakes at Belmont — that connections point toward when they like what they've seen.
Southern California's racing calendar turns again this autumn as live racing returns to Santa Anita Park for the 2026 Fall Meet. The Arcadia oval, long known to horsemen and railbirds alike as "The Great Race Place," reopens its gates for another season under the San Gabriel Mountains. For the region's trainers, owners and breeders, the meet marks the traditional resumption of top-level competition on one of the sport's most storied grounds.
North American racing's jockey standings are shifting as the sport moves through its seasonal transition, and one rider making the move is "The Puma," now counted among the top ten among those piloting this year's three-year-old male horses. The climb marks a notable change on a leaderboard that tracks which riders are getting the call in the sport's most closely watched races. For followers who track the season by the standings board as much as by the silks, it's a name worth keeping an eye on as the year continues.
Seven fillies crossed the wire last week carrying an identical 93 Beyer Speed Figure, the kind of dead heat on paper that sends the compilers back to the footnotes. The break came down to class and burden: Bodacious Bay took the higher spot on the strength of a Grade I win, while Dynamic Pricing and Love Cervere earned their placement running in ungraded company under top weight of 126 pounds. It is a reminder that a figure alone rarely settles an argument in this game — what the number was earned doing still counts. Three fillies, one identical mark, and three different routes to the same line.
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art's on-site restaurant comes from David Rockwell, who skipped the right angle entirely in favor of a curving, sinuous room built to open onto Los Angeles. The design lets Hollywood's skyline read as the main event, with the dining room itself following the same organic sensibility now defining the museum's public spaces. It's a rare case of a museum café built to hold its own against the art.
One design house has spent a hundred years making the case that the kitchen deserves the same discipline as any other room in a well-built house — proportion, material, and craft, not just plumbing and storage. It is an argument this desk recognizes: in the finest American houses, the kitchen has stopped being a utility room and started being architecture.
Nicky Hilton's new collection for Bloomingdale's isn't chasing a single neighborhood's look — she's designed it to move the way a real New Yorker does, telling Page Six Style she wanted the line to read as "a real New York wardrobe," equal parts uptown polish and downtown ease. It's the kind of range that assumes one wardrobe has to cover a lot of ground in one day, and that a well-cut piece can do it without changing its mind halfway through.
Mary Kay is opening its doors wider with a new campaign built around togetherness rather than the solo mirror moment. The message: the tube women have kept in their bags for decades earns its keep, and it's better used out loud, among friends, than alone. It's less a rebrand than an acknowledgment of what was already true — that a shade this familiar was always meant to be shared.
Korean beauty has long insisted that good skin starts underneath the surface, and that logic has now migrated to the hair. The same routines built around treating skin before treating the face are being applied to the scalp before the strands. Elle's editors, along with outside experts, are adopting the practice themselves, treating the scalp less like an afterthought and more like the foundation the rest of the routine depends on.
The trench coat has never needed reinventing, but this season it's being asked to work harder. Rather than one default belted silhouette, the coat is showing up styled in enough directions to prove it is anything but plain. It remains the season's most dependable outerwear precisely because it takes direction so well.
A new palette worth watching: pale yellow and peach, rendered without a hint of cloying sweetness. The standout is a diaphanous trench in pale yellow silk organza, sheer enough to read as weather rather than outerwear. Alongside it, a slim peach satin dress finished with a shawl collar brings the same sorbet register down to earth. Together they argue that pastel, done with the right fabric and the right cut, can carry real polish.
Miuccia Prada set the terms for spring 2027, and Fashion Month took the note: a slew of designers landed, independently, on the same two pieces. A bra on top, a skirt below, nothing added to soften the line. When that many houses agree without comparing notes, it stops being a look and starts being a uniform. New York's closets should brace accordingly.
A.P.C.'s new run with Clarks reworks two familiar shapes, the Desert Boot and the Weaver, and this time each pair comes attached to its own shoe charm. The detail is well timed: the Weaver marks its 50th anniversary in 2027, putting its debut back at 1977 and its ledger at five decades of steady wear. A charm is a small thing to hang on a shoe with that kind of tenure, but it reads less like an add-on than a nod to a design that has already proven it belongs.
Jenni Kayne has put its cashmere sweaters, boots and other wardrobe staples on sale, a discount the brand rarely offers. These aren't red carpet showpieces — they're the pieces that get worn on repeat, season after season, which is precisely why a markdown on them is news. A sale on the fundamentals doesn't happen often, and it's worth noting when it does.
The designer's Disney | DiFerdinando collection launches in October, with new drops rolling out at retailers and websites across the month rather than in a single release. It's the kind of staggered rollout that rewards regulars — the ones who check back each week to see what's landed. Consider it a reason to keep browsing all month long.
Lyocell has been the reigning wood-based fiber in denim, but according to WWD, mills are now testing modal as an alternative, aiming to coax different qualities out of the fabric altogether. It's a small swap with real consequences: how a jean looks, feels, and wears can trace back to a decision made long before it ever reaches a workroom. For Los Angeles, a city that wears its denim like a uniform, that's a detail worth tracking.
Alongside the announcement of her new single, "Patient Zero," Taylor Swift used the moment to weigh in on one of millennial beauty's defining habits: the cat-eye. Rather than let the single stand alone, she folded in her own read on the look, turning a music announcement into a small beauty moment as well. It is the kind of aside that gets replayed by fans and makeup editors long after the headline about the song itself fades.
Nissan North America's top executive is pushing back on the industry trend toward touchscreen-only dashboards, telling The Drive that stripping away physical controls costs drivers real functionality behind the wheel. It's a notable stance from an executive whose job is deciding what actually lands on the dashboards Nissan builds next. For owners who still want a proper switch or dial within reach, the remark reads as a vote for the analog controls collectors and daily drivers alike have long trusted.
Toyota is reportedly moving into range-extender electric vehicles, a format that pairs a small gasoline engine with a battery pack, using the engine to keep the batteries topped up rather than to drive the wheels directly. According to the report, Toyota's interest in the format is substantial rather than a token experiment. For owners considering a move toward electric power without giving up the range and quick refueling of a gas engine, it is a technology worth watching.
Mazda's MX-5 Miata, optioned with a folding hardtop and a well-finished cabin, now carries a price tag of $45,000. The build shows real craft in its interior appointments and top mechanism, the kind of detail collectors notice even on a car built for driving rather than display. Whether that figure still matches what a Miata is meant to deliver is the question the specialty press is now asking.
As the 2026 model year rolls onto lots across the country, a number of 2025 models remain parked and unsold at dealerships, and that leftover inventory has put buyers in an unusually strong position. Dealers eager to clear space for incoming stock are motivated to move these cars quickly, which typically means room to negotiate. For collectors and everyday buyers alike, a lightly aged model year is often the same car for meaningfully less.
Tesla has reopened its reservation list for the second-generation Roadster, inviting new deposits of $50,000 apiece. The car itself remains unseen by the public, with a full reveal withheld until October 1. That deposit figure lands at roughly the price of a new Ford Mustang GT, committed sight unseen for a car whose specifications have yet to be shown. For now, a place on the list is the only thing money buys.
Subaru is set to pull the cover off a new WRX special edition this Sunday, and the car arrives wearing a wing styled after the marque's storied STI models. The reveal will not stand alone: Subaru is also introducing a new BRZ variant at the same event, giving enthusiasts two debuts to track in one sitting. Specifics on trim, output, or pricing for either car have not yet been disclosed ahead of the unveiling.
McLaren's newly rolled-out wordmark is not, in fact, new. The mark now appearing across the automaker's lineup existed before the company itself was founded, a wrinkle that matters more to students of the marque than to a driver glancing at a hood. McLaren is presenting the reissued badge as the formal opening of its next era of engineering, rather than a cosmetic refresh. For collectors who track this maker by provenance as closely as by horsepower, the move reads as a return to a name older than the firm, not an invention of a new one.
Chevrolet's 2027 Corvette Grand Sport now carries its V-8 in a mid-engine layout, with a new 6.7-liter unit installed behind the seats. Car and Driver, which put the car through a road test, named the Grand Sport the standout of the current Corvette range, the trim it considers just right for the lineup. The magazine reports the larger engine gives the car noticeably more to recommend it than the versions that came before.
Nashville's songwriting circuit runs through Green Hills again this Thursday, when Thistle and Rye hosts its November Writers' Round. It is the kind of night the neighborhood does best — a small room, working songwriters, and the songs themselves doing the talking. No red carpet required; the talent is the draw.
The neighborhood's marking the start of fall the way it does best — with a hands-on gathering rather than a display. The Jack-O'-Lantern Painting at Poindexter is set for Tuesday, October 6, giving Nashville families a low-key, creative way to kick off the season together. No carving required, just brushes and pumpkins.
Green Hills has the industry; Marsh House has the room the industry books when it wants to feel like Belle Meade for a night. That room turns ten this October, with a Thursday anniversary celebration set to mark the milestone.
Jazz Mondays are landing at Stationairy, inside The Union Station Nashville Yards. For a city that keeps its best listening rooms unmarked, a standing weekly slot for the genre is its own kind of statement.
Chris Janson has picked the Ryman Auditorium to open his 2027 tour, with the January date set as the first stop before the run heads out. It's the kind of booking that reads as a hometown vote of confidence — a Nashville stage chosen to launch a season that will play out everywhere else.
Braxton Keith released his major label debut, REAL DAMN DEAL, earlier this year, and it did what a debut is supposed to do but rarely does: turn a name into an actual story. In a new Q&A, he looked back on the year that took it there. He isn't treating the moment as a finish line, either — Keith has already announced tour dates for 2027, stretching the run well past the record's release.
Shaboozey's "Outlaws Never Die" tour landed at Ascend Amphitheater on the riverfront Friday night, the kind of downtown date that draws the working side of Music Row as readily as the tourists. It's the stop this crowd shows up for on foot from Green Hills sessions and Wedgewood-Houston writers' rooms alike, no VIP required to belong. Nashville got its night with the tour, plain and simple.
Hill Country Reserve has set the lineup for its first gathering, with Jack Ingram and Jon Randall leading the bill among the names announced. It is the kind of roster that makes sense on this side of town, where the songwriting rooms sit closer to the stage than the boardroom. No dates or venues here yet, just the first proof that a new gathering is worth watching.
The Wizard of Oz comes to town as a concert event, screening Friday through Sunday with the story told alongside live accompaniment. It is the kind of booking Nashville's music crowd understands instinctively — a film built on song getting the full-room treatment it was always meant for, three nights running. Details on tickets and venue are still filling in.
NSAI announced its 2026 Nashville Songwriter Awards winners this evening, with songwriters, industry members, and music fans gathering at the Ryman Auditorium for the ceremony. The full list of honorees was released alongside the announcement.
Saturday brings the 2026 running of the Flower Bowl Stakes, a $500,000 Grade 2 test that has become well-trodden ground for trainer Chad Brown. His barn returns to the race as one of the names most associated with its winner's circle in recent years. A purse of that size places the Flower Bowl among the weekend's most closely watched stakes on the American turf calendar, and Brown's continued presence in it is very much part of the story.
Thoroughbred racing is entering its richest fall stretch, and American fans have a full slate of ways to follow it from September 24 through 27. Coverage will run across television and streaming outlets over the four days, putting the season's marquee stables and horsemen within reach of anyone without a seat at the rail. For a sport built on the particulars — the sire line, the barn, the silks in the paddock — the expanded coverage window is itself a marker of how much is riding on this weekend.
Book 4 of the 2026 Keeneland September Yearling Sale wrapped Tuesday in Lexington, with 297 horses changing hands and every major sales figure moving higher again. It is the same pattern that has held since the auction opened — gross, average and median all ticking upward session after session, rather than settling once the early star lots have gone through. Four more books remain on the calendar, which means the market still has room to show whether this pace holds into the sale's later, more affordable pages. For a fixture that sets much of the tone for the American yearling trade each fall, a fourth consecutive session of gains is the kind of signal buyers, consignors and breeders across the country will be watching closely.
The Good Life, a son of Life Is Good, will not carry his Hopeful Stakes form to Keeneland this fall. His connections have opted to skip the Grade I FanDuel Breeders' Cup Juvenile, closing out his two-year-old season on the Grade I win he picked up at Saratoga earlier this month. He is expected back on the track in 2027. For now, the Hopeful stands as the finished business of his juvenile year.
On the East End, LaGuardia Design Group has reworked a large Sagaponack property, letting color, texture, and scale carry the design rather than the usual Hamptons formula of lawn and hedge. The scale of the estate gives the firm room to treat the landscape itself as the main event, with plantings and materials doing the work that a pool house or a porch might elsewhere. The result reads less like a backdrop to the house and more like a considered piece of design in its own right.
Artist CJ Hendry has installed a one-of-a-kind flower market at Rockefeller Plaza, a piece built for that one spot and existing nowhere else. Galerie's editors singled it out this week as a highlight among the art and design news they're following. It's a reminder that some of the best work in Midtown right now isn't behind gallery doors — it's out on the plaza.
Designers are steering the season's centerpiece away from the traditional palette this year, favoring unexpected colors and materials over the usual red and green. It is a modest shift, but a telling one for houses where the living room gets the same consideration as the facade — the tree is no longer treated as an afterthought.
Meteorologists have named this year's prime American leaf-peeping corridor as running from New England to California, and Aspen falls within that stretch. The trees that gave the town its name are the same ones now turning gold on the hillsides above it. Houses built along those slopes get an unmatched vantage for the next few weeks, their windows and porches facing hills that look nothing like this the rest of the year. It is one more reason the town's name was never just a name.
Architectural Digest has recognized Kelly Wearstler among its AD100 Hall of Fame honorees, citing a body of work that has broadened what the title "interior designer" can mean. The publication is now turning to Wearstler directly, asking the veteran talent to lay out the thinking behind a career built on that expansion. Her answer, as AD frames it, doubles as a guide for running a design practice as a creative entrepreneur. The recognition places her among a small group singled out for shaping the field itself, not just individual rooms.
"Obsession" and "Backrooms," two horror releases made on limited budgets, have together brought in more than $900 million at the global box office so far this year. The films arrived within months of each other, and their combined performance has drawn close attention across the film industry.
Designer Dhruv Kapoor built his Spring 2027 collection around an unlikely muse: the wear and weathering that most fashion tries to erase. Rather than chase pristine newness, he set out to capture what time does to things — the fade, the crease, the beauty in something visibly lived-in. It's a quiet argument that decay has its own elegance, one worth putting on a runway rather than covering up.
The season's most talked-about nail idea is barely there at all — a soft cherry-blossom wash, sheer enough to read as bare skin from across a room. It is the kind of detail that plays best in person, at a dinner or a benefit, where a hand reaching for a glass says more than a full set ever could. No gems, no French tip theatrics — just color and restraint, which is its own kind of statement here in town.
Pat McGrath, the artist behind decades of era-defining beauty looks, is putting her signature eye toward jewelry for the first time. The move carries her celebrated sense of color and finish off the face and onto a new kind of adornment.
The photographer known for images that read like something out of a fever dream is publishing her first monograph, titled "Found Dreams." She talks through the book's underpinnings in psychology and feminine energy, and is candid about having no patience for "kissing ass" along the way. It's the kind of unvarnished process talk that tends to matter more than the campaign credits: an eye distinctive enough to warrant its own archive, explained on her own terms.
Fit is the whole story this season, and Vogue's editors just did the legwork for anyone who has ever hemmed a hopeless inseam. Their new roundup for 2026 gathers the labels actually getting proportion right, from Levi's dependable staples to Frame's polished cuts. It is a small, useful kind of service journalism — no gimmicks, just the rare acknowledgment that height changes how denim should be built. For a category as basic as jeans, that is its own kind of achievement.
Hilla Rebay, the German artist who helped shape what would become the Guggenheim, is now the one being collected rather than collecting. Her bold, non-objective paintings are on view at Independent 20th Century, brought forward by Weinstein Gallery. It marks a rare turn of attention toward an artist long known chiefly for the museum she helped build rather than for her own hand.
Electra flew its fixed-wing demonstrator into sites built and instrumented for rotorcraft, following vertical-flight-style approach procedures rather than the fixed-wing patterns those aircraft normally use. The company says the flights show a conventional-looking airplane can operate out of helicopter-only pads without needing runway infrastructure. It's a small but notable step toward fixed-wing aircraft reaching landing sites previously reserved for helicopters.
A reception built around an olive grove look is putting new weight on one detail: the dance floor itself, lettered with a message for the couple. The palette stayed deliberately restrained, keeping the space feeling as though it had grown in among the olive trees rather than been added to them. For couples weighing where to spend on design, this is a case for treating the floor as a focal point worth the upcharge, not an afterthought once the tables are set.
Porsche is reportedly developing a new supercar built around a flat-eight engine. The project is said to carry the working name S1, though Porsche has not confirmed the designation. Rather than a conventional unveiling, the first look may go to investors, who could be briefed on the car as soon as next month. For collectors who track Stuttgart's product plans closely, the first hard details on this one may come from a briefing room before they ever reach an auto show stage.
ISA has launched its newest superyacht, christened Essence, the third hull in the builder's Large Yacht collection and, at 269 feet, not a boat that slips into a marina unnoticed. It carries a touch-and-go helipad, a real one, built for an aircraft to land and lift off again rather than just perch for show, and a glass-bottomed pool that turns the ocean itself into part of the deck. Where a vessel like this would sit best is the kind of question that separates the coasts: Fort Lauderdale has the dock space for it, Palm Beach has the discretion, and Miami would simply enjoy watching it arrive. For now Essence belongs to no port in particular, which may be the most Florida thing about a yacht that hasn't gotten here yet.
A Super Bowl, a World Cup, an Olympics — the lift touches every restaurant and hotel in the host city well before a tourism board gets to claim credit for it. Destination marketing organizations are often limited to promoting a city around a marquee event, not through it, even as the event itself pulls in the crowds. For the dining rooms and front desks filling up that week, the reservation never asks whose campaign brought it in.
VideoProducers Jennifer Gibgot and Lena Roklin spoke about how they select and develop bestselling romance novels for the screen, including their work on "The Last Sunrise." The two discussed col
Hotels and restaurants that once storyboarded every promotional video are giving the people making that content more room to shoot it their own way. The trend trades tightly produced campaigns for looser, creator-led footage. Brands are finding that less oversight up front is producing work that reads as more honest on screen.
At hotels and restaurants across the country, the booking rarely lands the day the video does. Travel brands are increasingly tracking that gap on purpose, watching not just who saw a piece of creator content but who returned to book because of it. The industry's term for that delayed, harder-to-see effect is "incrementality" — a measure built for a booking path that was never a straight line to begin with.
Maine did not rush into a flag. Statehood came in 1820, but the pine tree design most closely tied to the state's identity did not appear until 1901, and even then it was short-lived, soon set aside for a state seal. Now Maine voters are pushing to see that early design return, a preference for the plainer, more graphic mark over the seal that replaced it. The renewed interest treats an early piece of state design as something worth restoring, not merely archiving.
Middle Tennessee's long stretch of heat is finally breaking, just in time for a city with two reasons to be outside for it. Nashville SC has punched its ticket to the playoffs, and Vanderbilt football kept its home win streak alive. However you take your Tuesday evening, the forecast finally agrees with you.
Mitchell Tenpenny is headed out on the road this February alongside Flo Rida, with the two joining forces for the newly announced "Whiskey & Whistle Tour."
Stella Lefty has her first chart-topper at country radio, with "Boston" reaching No. 1. It is the kind of milestone Nashville's music side treats as the real currency of the town — not the address, but the airplay.
Melody Place has named Kacey Flory as Head of Digital, adding Kayla Smith to the team as well. The Nashville company's expansion signals a company investing in how its roster reaches listeners, not just who's on the roster.
Leadership Music has opened its search for a new executive director, the organization that has quietly shaped how Nashville's music industry leads itself for years. The role sits at the center of the town's real business, where the work gets done. Candidates are now being considered for the post.
Weather that starts as workable visual conditions can degrade faster than a flight plan accounts for, and Flying reports that recognizing the shift is a skill taught early in primary training. Student pilots who learn to read changing conditions and use local landmarks as reference points are better positioned to spot the trap before it closes in. It is a basic-airmanship point rather than a technical one: conditions flyable at departure are not a guarantee for the rest of the route. The underlying discipline — respecting marginal weather rather than pushing through it — holds regardless of what is in the logbook.
The fractional operator took delivery of the first production Praetor 600E, Embraer's newest super-midsize, and has eleven more on order to arrive by the end of the year. For owners weighing fractional shares against outright ownership, a twelve-aircraft intake in a single quarter is a meaningful data point on how fast a new type can scale into a major fleet.
Textron has secured FAA supplemental type certification for an all-Garmin avionics retrofit for the CitationJet line, the company confirmed as the upgrade became available. The STC covers a full panel swap rather than a partial one, giving owners of older CitationJets a certified route to bring the cockpit up to current Garmin standards without changing airframes. For owners who fly these jets themselves, that means modern integrated avionics can now be added to an existing airplane rather than requiring a trade for a newer model.
Electra says its fixed-wing demonstrator has begun operating out of locations built for rotorcraft, not conventional runways. The aircraft used instrument procedures modeled on vertical-flight operations rather than standard fixed-wing approach patterns. For an owner used to thinking of heliports and STOL strips as separate worlds, the test points toward fixed-wing aircraft sharing infrastructure long reserved for helicopters.
The Adios Pro 5 arrives with the EnergyRim technology first proven on the Pro Evo 3, the shoe behind Adidas's record-breaking marathon run, now built for a retail price and a mass audience rather than an elite start line. It is the kind of trickle-down engineering that changes a training log before it changes a red carpet, but the instinct is the same one Palm Beach and Aspen closets know well: what works at the top gets tailored for everyone else. For a house best known for chasing finish lines, putting that same rim under a shoe regular runners can actually own is its own kind of achievement.
A rarely seen Air Jordan 16 Retro SP is stepping out in a "Black Pack" upgrade, trading its usual profile for exotic materials rendered head to toe in black. A first look at the silhouette has surfaced, giving sneaker collectors an early read on the design before it reaches shelves.
Malibu now has its own brick-and-mortar Birkenstock store, giving the town's devoted sandal wearers a proper home base at last. The opening marks the 24th retail location Birkenstock owns directly in the United States, a modest but telling expansion along the California coast. It is proof that loyalty to the German house runs deep enough in this beach town to earn its own address.
For spring 2027, Miuccia Prada returned to the piece that has always anchored her label and gave it a new argument. The skirt, long treated as her signature statement, arrives reconsidered rather than replaced. It is the kind of revision that only a house this sure of its own uniform could attempt.
Fashion 4 Development timed its Innovators and Changemakers honors to land during the United Nations General Assembly's 81st session, turning the group's First Ladies Luncheon into one more reason all eyes are on New York this week. Billboard's Leila Cobo is among this year's honorees, recognized alongside the gathering's other changemakers. The overlap with UNGA week means diplomats and industry figures share the same New York calendar, if not always the same room.
Anthology of Style, the New York-based social-commerce platform built around a shared love of vintage dressing, brought its community together for a gala inside the Frick Collection. The evening paired the museum's period rooms with private shopping appointments, letting guests browse before they mingled. It was a fitting stage: a house devoted to old things, hosting a crowd devoted to old clothes.
Ferragamo's Cara bag has become the accessory the well-dressed set reaches for this season, prized for a pared-back shape rather than a loud monogram. From Beverly Hills sidewalks to Los Angeles fashion week, it keeps showing up on the same arms, quietly outnumbering flashier competitors. The appeal is confidence without embellishment — a bag that doesn't need a logo to be recognized.
Seven silhouettes are doing the talking this season, and none of them are quiet. Two-tone pumps are back to split the difference between neutral and statement, reptilian finishes are standing in for the season's boldest print, and satin heels are angling for every room from cocktail hour to the after-party. Call it the fall shortlist: the shoe closet's answer to knowing exactly what to reach for, and why.
Director Jon M. Chu says he is holding off on casting the lead role in his upcoming Britney Spears biopic until the script is finished. Chu, who recently directed "Wicked," said he has read portions of the screenplay from writer Liz Meriwether but is not yet considering actors for the part. The filmmaker said the story needs to be locked first, calling any casting talk premature at this stage. Chu did not offer a timeline for when a script or cast might be finalized.
Jessica Lange is returning to American Horror Story with more ground to cover than usual. The actress said she is bringing back the four characters she has already played across the FX anthology series, and adding an entirely new fifth role she is keeping under wraps for now. The new season begins Thursday. Lange said series co-creator Ryan Murphy has also assured her she will get a musical number this season.
Condé Nast's design arm opened its doors this month, hosting the inaugural AD PRO Design Dialogues at Architectural Digest's New York headquarters. The gathering drew leading architects, designers, and other names from the built-environment trade for a single day of programming built around the industry's own conversations. Organizers framed the day around inspiration and connection, a chance for a scattered profession to convene under one roof. It marks the first such summit AD PRO has staged.
Jean Royère named his 1950s Liane fixtures for the vines they were built to resemble—liane, in French, means a climbing plant. Decades later, the design's branching, tendril-like arms are drawing more attention from designers than ever. Demand for the line keeps climbing along with the vines it was made to honor.
Corey Damen Jenkins, the AD100 designer known for rooms that refuse to whisper, is making the argument that color belongs in every home—not as accent, but as the calling card of a well-designed one. In conversation with Architectural Digest, Jenkins lays out how he talks hesitant homeowners into taking the leap, treating saturated palettes not as a risk to be managed but as the point of hiring a designer in the first place. For a local market built on custom builds and architect-led renovations, it is a useful reminder that restraint is a choice, not a default—and that the boldest rooms are usually the ones a client almost talked themselves out of.
Travis Kelce has moved into a new home in Ohio, a hundred-year-old estate with a scale and story that set it apart from an ordinary purchase. The house comes with a history that predates any current owner, the kind of past that gives an old property its own reputation long before a new family arrives. Alongside that age, the interiors are built around design details meant to be noticed room by room. It is the rare case of a house whose lore matters as much as its footprint.
The design firm Jesse Parris-Lamb centered a new home in upstate New York on a single large fireplace, framing it with a series of small reading nooks rather than one formal living room. The house was built for a family of committed readers, and the firm tucked in what it describes as "moments of delight" throughout — cozy, individual crannies rather than one grand gathering space. It is a house that organizes itself around warmth and quiet corners instead of scale, with the fireplace as its one clear center.
Andy Warhol was born and raised in Pittsburgh before becoming the artist most closely associated with defining the Pop Art movement itself. That origin sits at odds with the New York mythology that usually surrounds him, yet it's the starting point most accounts of his career return to. For a movement so bound up with postwar American art and the collections that grew out of it, the reminder that it began in a Pennsylvania industrial city is worth holding onto.
In the closing decades of the 19th century, forces that included secularization, urbanization, industrialization, nationalism, imperialism, and a fascination with the East reshaped daily life and unsettled established religion. Symbolist artists responded in kind, reviving and reworking alternative and occult spiritual traditions within their work.
Sinot has unveiled a design for what it says would be the largest full-length trimaran ever conceived, a three-hulled megayacht named Fusion. Bow to stern, the concept measures 387 feet — a scale that would place it among the largest yachts afloat, assuming it ever leaves the drawing board. For a coastline used to seeing long, narrow monohulls tied up along Palm Beach and Naples, a triple-hulled vessel of that length is, for now, still a rendering rather than a reservation.
Belmont University's Symphony Orchestra takes the stage for "Living Pages: The Art of Musical Storytelling," an evening built around the idea that a piece of music can carry a narrative the way a page of prose does. It is the kind of program Green Hills turns out for without needing convincing — the neighborhood has never needed Belle Meade's pedigree to know real musicianship when it hears it. For an audience that treats a university orchestra recital as seriously as any downtown gala, this is simply a Tuesday well spent.
Haunted History Tours will take place at the Ryman Auditorium on a Saturday this October, an after-hours walk through the historic hall. The tour offers a rare chance to see Nashville's landmark venue away from its usual concert lineup.
Cheekwood's Japanese Moon Viewing Festival returns for its 12th year, honoring the Harvest Moon in the tradition of Otsukimi. It is the kind of standing date that Nashville's quieter set circles on the calendar year after year, a gathering built around a single, unhurried pleasure: watching the moon rise over the grounds. Twelve years in, it has become one of those Cheekwood fixtures that needs no introduction to the people who show up for it.
Riley Green is marking the release of "That's Just Me" with a free show at Losers in Midtown. No ticket required to walk in off Broadway and catch it.
Amerigo is putting on a four-course dinner built around Tuscan wine, pairing each course with a different pour from Ruffino. It is the kind of evening Nashville's old-guard and new-money diners both understand without being told: sit down, take the pairing seriously, let the courses do the talking. No fuss, just the kind of quiet competence this town's best rooms are known for.
Fragrance houses are seeing eco-minded scents cycle back into favor, tracking the moments the world feels most unsettled. Pierre Bongert-Marlier, fragrance development director at DSM-Firmenich, calls it an on-and-off trend that switches on whenever a crisis does. For the galas and step-and-repeats this desk covers, it means the finishing note on a look may say as much about the room's mood as the gown does.
LeNose, founded by alumni of Bubble Skincare, is entering the bath aisle with a debut collection of Soap de Parfum priced at $10 a bar. The line applies perfume-level fragrance work to hand soap, a category usually chosen for utility rather than scent. The founders are pitching the collection squarely at the mass market, putting fine fragrance within reach of anyone standing at a sink.
Arey, the Los Angeles-based brand, has closed a Series A funding round led by Unilever Ventures. The company says the capital will go toward expanding its research and development work, growing retail partnerships, and funding clinical research. The round marks a new stage of investment for the brand as it builds out those three areas. Backing from Unilever Ventures puts a major industry name behind Arey's next phase of growth.
The Museum at FIT in New York has opened an exhibition built around an unlikely muse: the doll, and the clothes designed to dress it. The show treats doll dressing not as a nursery pastime but as its own quiet strand of fashion history, worthy of a proper museum wall. It is a small subject given serious space, in a city that rarely lets a fashion story go untold, however tiny the model.
A new $35 million spec mansion in Beverly Hills, named Essence, has tucked its pickleball court on the roof rather than out back — a choice that would raise eyebrows on any Naples cul-de-sac, where the court gets its own patch of lawn and a view of nothing but more lawn. Inside, the entry hall skips the usual chandelier moment for a live 16-foot banyan tree rising through the foyer. Out west they build the game up; down here we'd just widen the yard.
Ask a Palm Beach collector what's on the wrist and you'll get the usual roll call. Ask what they wish more people noticed, and the answer changes — insiders and industry watchers keep circling back to a handful of brands they consider genuinely underrated, the kind of names that reward a second look over a first impression. It's a fitting distinction for a stretch of coastline where the quietest watch in the room is often the one worth asking about.
A two-bedroom near Prospect Park has listed at $850,000, putting it within reach of buyers drawn to the park's tree-lined border rather than Manhattan price tags. Across the river, a one-bedroom in Lenox Hill carries gilded-age detailing, the sort of ornament associated with the neighborhood's nineteenth-century built environment. Taken together, the two listings track the range of what New York offers in a single week: a Brooklyn foothold priced for accessibility, and an Upper East Side interior built for period character.
The Lucas Museum and LACMA's David Geffen Galleries are bringing rounded, sculptural forms to a city long defined by flatter, more angular architecture. Both buildings are being described as more than striking shapes set down in the landscape — each is meant to change how visitors move through and experience the grounds around it. Together they mark a shift in how Los Angeles's civic institutions are choosing to build.
A 1951 painting by the late artist Gertrude Abercrombie, picked up for $30 at an estate sale, is now expected to bring as much as $250,000 at auction. The estimate says less about one lucky find than about where Abercrombie's market stands today: her work is drawing renewed demand, and pieces that once passed unnoticed are being valued accordingly. A canvas bought for the price of a used lamp is now positioned to sell for a quarter million dollars, a spread that reflects how quickly appraisals can catch up once a market moves. It is the sort of gap that turns an ordinary estate sale into a story worth telling.
Long before a Northern Renaissance panel took its finished form, the image began on paper, in a drawing meant only as a step toward something else. Most of those sheets were never built to last, and few did. The ones that survive give collectors of works on paper a rare look at process itself, the hand at work before the composition was ever fixed. It is a corner of the market that rewards patience: what remains is scarce by nature, not by curation. The subject is now the focus of a podcast conversation with Olenka Horbatsch.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has brought a significant group of Chang Dai-chien paintings into its collection, and the range on view tells the story of an artist who moved between traditions. Included are studies the artist made during his years at the Dunhuang cave temples, where he copied and studied Buddhist murals, alongside the later ink abstractions that marked his break into a freer, more experimental style. Ten works from the acquisition have now been made public, offering a window into both ends of a career spent bridging past and present.
Anthony McCall makes sculpture from a material no chisel can touch: light itself. His installations began with cones of haze-thickened beams, given enough weight and volume by fog that viewers could walk through them like solid form. His newer pieces set that light in motion, rotating beams built on the geometry of drone flight, so the work now traces its shapes through space rather than holding them still. Seen together, the two bodies of work read as one idea carried through, from fixed cone to turning arc, proof that sculpture needs no more than air and light to hold its shape.
Taylor Swift will be the first artist to receive MTV's new VMA Artist Director Honors, debuting at the 2026 Video Music Awards. The award marks a shift from measuring only performances or hits — it recognizes the creative and directorial hand behind an artist's work. As an inaugural title, there is no prior recipient to compare her to; there is only the standard she now sets for it.
Parker Welling and Lydia Vaughan have started Women's Writes, a new podcast of their own making. No red carpet, no label rollout — just two writers deciding to open a mic and talk. It is the kind of move this town's actual creative class makes quietly, without needing Belle Meade's permission.
Mae Estes has finished the project that puts her music where her admiration is. The Nashville artist's new EP, a six-song set titled "The 90s Called," is built as a direct thank-you to the artists who shaped her before she ever cut a track of her own. It's a modest, honest way to make a record — naming your influences instead of hiding them — and it's the kind of craft-first move this town still rewards.
America's Best Racing has released its first rookie rankings of the season for horses on the road to the 2027 Kentucky Derby. It is the opening measure in a list that will be updated and argued over for months, long before any prospect sets foot on the track at Churchill Downs. For trainers, owners, and the barns already plotting a spring campaign, it marks the first official word of a season that has barely begun.
A truly well-made pair of jeans earns its keep anywhere the season takes you — Worth Avenue errands, a weekend off-island, the drive up to the Hamptons before Thanksgiving. According to Town & Country, the right pair can genuinely reset how you think about denim altogether. Not every basic deserves that kind of praise, which is exactly why this one is worth noting.
Jennifer Lawrence and Sarah Jessica Parker do not often turn up in the same sentence, but their closets apparently agree on one thing: the classic boat shoe. Lawrence has been spotted in the style, and it turns out Parker, a fellow New Yorker through and through, has worn the very same pair. It is the kind of quiet overlap that happens when two women share a city and a taste for something that simply works. The shoe itself is no splurge, either — it currently retails for $60.
Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles turned up on the same New York City sidewalk this week in a shared uniform: abbreviated shorts, worn like a warm-weather staple rather than a statement. Neither treated the look as a moment — it read as the kind of easy, well-worn piece both stars apparently reach for again and again. No coordination required, just two New Yorkers agreeing, separately, on what belongs in a September wardrobe.
Di Petsa's Spring 2027 collection turns motherhood into fabric and form. The designer worked through her signature draping, threading dribbling strings and tethered cords that read as umbilical, connective tissue between one body and the next. It is a collection that treats maternal instinct as a design principle, not just a season's theme.
Taylor Swift stepped into Arrowhead-adjacent territory this week wearing two cool-girl trends at once, a game-day pairing far removed from the designer-heavy ensembles she's favored for past Chiefs outings. One piece from the look has already sold out. She hasn't given up on luxury entirely — just balanced it with something a little more off-duty for the stands.
Prequel, a skincare brand founded by a dermatologist, has become a genuine object of fascination on TikTok, with viewers trading their honest takes on the line rather than the usual sponsored gloss. For a publication that spends its time cataloging what happens under the lights, the appeal tracks: the skin under the makeup matters as much as the label on the gown. A derm-founded brand earning this kind of organic attention is the sort of credential-backed buzz that outlasts a single viral clip.
Emma Watson skipped the usual red-carpet arsenal and arrived at the Lucas Museum opening wearing a dress built from real flowers. The gown was designed as a tribute to Mother Nature, calling out the natural resources and beauty that get overlooked in daily life. It is the kind of statement that only works once, on one night, in one room — which is precisely the point.
Dua Lipa arrived for her opera outing in an Ashi Studio look pulled directly from the label's newest runway presentation, no lag time between show and street. The English pop singer's choice reads as a bet on the house's freshest silhouette rather than a proven archive piece, the kind of confidence a stage this formal rewards.
Céline Dion is the latest face to make the case for restraint at the root. On the cover of Harper's Bazaar, she wears her hair swept into a loose, low bun — the kind of style that reads considered rather than rushed. The magazine is holding it up as the rare low-maintenance option that still photographs like a decision, particularly for women over 50 tired of being told easy has to mean plain. Consider it this season's permission slip to let a bun be a bun.
After Midnight, a Viking 92 Skybridge, has come to market with a specification sheet built for long runs and calm water regardless of what the ocean is doing. Twin MTU V16M96L engines give the 92 its range and top-end pull, the kind of power plant Viking reserves for its largest skybridge hulls. A Seakeeper SK35 handles the ride itself, canceling roll at anchor and underway so guests barely feel the swell. Up top, the bridge is climate-controlled, turning the helm into a proper room rather than an exposed perch. Between the engines, the gyro, and the enclosed bridge, this is a boat built for owners who want the size of a 92 without giving up the comfort that usually gets left at the dock on something this large.
Nimbus has introduced a targa-arch variant of its Sport Weekender 42, broadening how owners can configure the deck on this daycruiser. The arch reworks the boat's classic profile without abandoning it, opening up sightlines and deck space for a more adaptable day on the water. It's a refinement built for owners who want the Weekender's familiar lines paired with more flexibility underway.
Armand de Brignac, the label most collectors simply call by Jay-Z's name, has a new release out — and it is doing exactly what its predecessors did. Collectors, the kind who keep a proper cellar whether they're in a Palm Beach dining room or a Naples wine locker, are lining up for it again. The bottle's gold armor is as recognizable on a Miami table as anywhere in the country, which may be the whole point: a rapper's champagne that reads as fine as anything else in the room. Robb Report calls the new bottling as desirable as the label has ever been, and nothing about this release suggests that streak is ending.
J.Ruiter has introduced the RVR, a coach-built off-road side-by-side that abandons the boxy, tool-shed look the category is usually built around. Its design draws the kind of comparison rarely made about a trail vehicle: a shape closer to the spacecraft of the film Interstellar than to anything with a roll cage and knobby tires. It is a rare instance of an off-roader being treated as a piece of design first and a workhorse second.
Armand de Brignac has released a new bottling, and the label built by Jay-Z is once again drawing the same enthusiasm from the people who collect it. The house's bubbly stays instantly recognizable, and this latest release keeps that reputation intact. For serious collectors, the name remains as desirable as ever.
East Park hosts the TN Hot Sauce Expo this weekend, now in its fourth year of gathering the region's small-batch hot sauce makers under one roof. It is the kind of event this city does well: a park full of people who make things by hand, tasting their way through a Saturday. No big brand booths, no shortcuts — just craft, block by block.
Heidi Caillier, the AD100 designer known for interiors that never repeat themselves, shared the discipline behind that variety in a recent AD PRO Design Dialogues conversation. She spoke about keeping a body of work fresh project to project, running a design team that operates remotely, and using what she calls a "limited options program" to guide clients toward decisions with confidence. For homeowners weighing their own renovations, the approach offers a rare look at how a working designer keeps every room distinct rather than defaulting to a signature look.
A 1979 Rockwell Commander 114A has surfaced on AircraftForSale as one of the marketplace's top picks, and the case for it is mechanical rather than cosmetic. The airframe carries trailing-link main landing gear, a geometry that absorbs touchdown loads more evenly than the conventional gear legs found on most single-engine aircraft of its era. Aerodynamic refinements added to the airframe address some of the drag penalties standard to a late-1970s Commander. The panel has been brought current with updated glass avionics, narrowing the gap between a four-decade-old airframe and the instrumentation buyers expect today. Together, the changes put this particular 114A in different territory than a stock example of the same year and model.
Nissan North America's top executive has ruled out a Nismo version of the Rogue, according to a report from The Drive. The executive said the Nismo badge has to be "authentic," reserved for cars that earn the distinction rather than applied as a marketing flourish. The comment marks a clear boundary on how far Nissan is willing to stretch its performance sub-brand across the lineup.
Word circulating among Porsche watchers points to a flat-eight engine under consideration for the marque's next hypercar — a layout the company has never put into a production model. Reports on the rumor say it is gaining credibility rather than fading, though no name, specifications, or launch date have been confirmed. For a builder as disciplined about its engine architecture as Porsche, even a rumor of a new layout is worth watching closely.
General Motors has given its next heavy-duty diesel a name that leaves no doubt about its target: Mongoose. The 8.3-liter engine is headed for GM's HD pickups, built to outmuscle Ford's 6.7-liter Power Stroke, known internally as Scorpion, which currently makes 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. Both nicknames make plain which rival each automaker had in mind when it set the target for its own engine. For HD pickup buyers who track horsepower and torque figures as closely as the badge on the tailgate, the matchup gives the segment a new number to watch.
Bimota's new KB998 Rimini is now street-legal and carries a $65,399 price tag, built on the kind of racing foundation that has long defined the marque's reputation among enthusiasts. Riding it at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in California, evaluators came away calling it hard to beat, saying they could scarcely imagine a better day spent in the saddle. The verdict points to a motorcycle that delivers genuine competition character on public roads, at a price that puts it within reach of serious collectors rather than factory race teams alone.
Fair Warning brought vintage couture to auction for the first time and watched the results climb to $3.2 million. For a category that has largely changed hands quietly, through dealers and private closets, a single sale of that size is a signal collectors don't often get. It suggests archival fashion is starting to draw the kind of bidding once reserved for fine art and design.
Netflix has released a trailer for "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth," bringing Brad Pitt back to the role that earned him an Academy Award. Pitt first played the stuntman in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," and this sequel carries the character forward under a new director, David Fincher. The project marks a rare handoff between two of the industry's most closely watched filmmakers, with Tarantino's story now in Fincher's hands.
A new film version of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility," directed by Georgia Oakley, has drawn a positive notice from a Variety Film critic. The review characterizes Oakley's approach as atmospheric and unpolished, set against the more restrained, precisely calibrated style of Ang Lee's 1995 film. That earlier adaptation, the critic notes, has held its place for more than three decades as the measure by which other Austen adaptations are judged.
A new film adaptation of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility," directed by Georgia Oakley, has been reviewed by Variety. The review describes Oakley's version as taking a moodier, more naturalistic approach than Ang Lee's 1995 adaptation, which the critic called the standard-bearer for Austen on screen. Lee's film, released more than three decades ago, was noted in the review for its polished, dryly funny style.
Santa Anita Park has finished a summer's worth of work on its jockey kitchen, reopening it as the newly renovated Jockey's Diner, a dedicated space built for the men and women who ride there. The project took the track's original crew dining room and gave it a full refresh rather than a patch job. For a track that asks its riders to be at the gate before sunrise and back again for stakes racing in the afternoon, a proper place to sit down between mounts is its own kind of care for the backstretch.
Betsey Johnson has spent decades making the case that getting dressed is a mood, not a mandate. In a new interview with The Zoe Report, the designer and a handful of women who count themselves among her admirers talk through exactly how that outlook has shaped the way they get dressed. The common thread: confidence and joy come first, occasion second. It is a philosophy this desk, built on tracking who wore what and when, can still tip its crown to from the sidelines.
Palm Beach closets built on white gloves and gala gowns are making room for something looser: the graphic tee, back in circulation and treated less like a throwback than a wardrobe staple. The early-2000s piece is having its moment again, worn with the same confidence once reserved for tailoring. It is proof that a great closet has range — evening on one hanger, an easy tee on the next.
Donatella Versace is stepping into a fresh title: chief creative officer of a still-unnamed fashion and beauty label she is launching with Revolve Group. It is a notable pairing — a designer whose name has been synonymous with one storied house now building something from scratch with a company known for putting new labels directly into shoppers' closets. No collections, no launch date, no name yet. Just the credential, freshly minted, and worth watching.
Hailey Bieber has debuted a new hair color: a deep espresso brunette, the darkest shade she's worn in years. The tone leans warm and rich rather than flat black, closer to fresh-ground coffee than midnight. It's a quiet, confident shift — the kind of change that reads as polish, not reinvention.
Taylor Swift traded her usual private box moment for a full-volume public one, suiting up in a red Chiefs tank and letting her wedding ring catch the stadium lights as she pointed and shouted, "That's my husband!" It is the kind of styling that needs no stylist's note — team colors, a diamond, and an audience of thousands. Newlywed dressing, it turns out, pairs just fine with game day.
Rachel Zoe is putting natural diamonds back at the center of the conversation, calling the stone fashion's most enduring jewelry statement — the kind that reads the same whether the room is Beverly Hills or somewhere else entirely. No substitute, no translation needed.
At Travis Kelce's Chiefs game, Taylor Swift skipped the archive gowns for team merch that runs about $40 — a tank top designed by a close friend rather than pulled from a design house. She made her allegiance plain for the cameras, too, calling out to the Jumbotron: "That's my husband!" No red carpet moment, just cotton and a two-word answer to whose game it was.
Emily Ratajkowski is pairing corduroy with Uggs as the weather turns, trading her warm-weather rotation for something built for crisper days. It is a textured, layered look — corduroy for structure, Uggs for the unglamorous but very real part of fall — that reads more like a walk before the leaves are gone than a red carpet. Consider it an early bulletin for anyone already eyeing their own closet for the same shift, whether in Aspen or the Hamptons.
VideoThe ceremony aisle wasn't a straight shot to the altar — it curved, and every inch of that curve was packed with pink, purple, orange, and yellow blooms rather than left bare between sparse
Taex's newest release brings Marina Abramović into fully digital territory, translating the foundational teachings of her own Marina Abramović Institute into a collection of 125 avatar performances. Rather than a single work, the release gives collectors a body of pieces drawn directly from decades of the artist's performance practice. Each avatar stands as its own performance, built from a training method Abramović has spent years developing and now offers whole, digitally, for the first time.
A wave of small-scale bathroom updates — sleek space-saving organizers, luxe towels swapped in without a full remodel — is the season's low-key flex among houses that would rather spend on polish than a gut job. It is the kind of upgrade that shows up in the guest bath before it shows up in a contractor's invoice.
Exposition Park has a new address on the cultural map, and opening night proved it. The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art welcomed its first red carpet, with Kim Kardashian, Lewis Hamilton, Justin Trudeau, and Katy Perry among those crossing the threshold. Four guests, four very different orbits — film, motorsport, politics, pop — converging on one Los Angeles evening for one new institution.
NEWGEN designer Joshua Ewusie built his name on leatherwork with an edge, but his spring 2027 collection trades some of that sharpness for something gentler. Faux flowers and leather lace now share the rack, drawn from the domestic textures of migrant households rather than the runway's usual references. The through-line is still his signature material, just worked into a quieter register. It reads less like a departure than a designer letting the same hand speak a new dialect.
The invitation says black tie optional; the guest list is unforgiving. What's landing in closets across our coverage area this fall is the coordinated set and the well-cut suit, built to move from ceremony to reception without a second thought. Not a gown, not a costume — just a proven formula for looking finished at somebody else's biggest day.
Banana Republic's newest arrivals split into two clean categories for the season: relaxed workwear for the office and easy layers for whatever comes after it. Nothing flashy, nothing overdone — just pieces built for the exact stretch of weeks when a wardrobe actually needs to shift from summer to fall. It is the kind of timing that reads as considered rather than convenient.
Dieux is reworking its bestselling eye masks for a limited-edition collaboration with Fishwife, the buzzed-about tinned fish brand. The pairing brings Fishwife's look to the eye mask for a one-time release, not a permanent addition to either brand's lineup. WWD has the exclusive.
The Bluegame BGX83 arrives with triple 900 hp Volvo Penta D13 engines and a layout built around getting owners closer to the water rather than above it. A fold-down beach club opens the stern for swimming and easy tender access, while a lower-deck lounge sits right at the waterline, putting guests eye-level with the sea instead of looking down on it from a higher deck. Together, the two spaces reframe what an 83-footer is for: less about covering distance, more about what happens once the anchor is down.
Designer Presley Oldham unveiled his spring/summer 2027 collection at a sunset gathering, marking the debut with pieces built from materials that carry their own histories. The collection pairs hand-carved gemstone pendants with deadstock 1950s Swarovski crystals, old-mine diamonds, and bicolor sapphires. Each material predates the piece it now belongs to by decades, giving the collection a sense of accumulation rather than novelty. The hour suited the work: a fading light for stones already carrying their own age.
At the Skift Global Forum, IHG's chief commercial and marketing officer, Heather Balsley, outlined a two-part approach to the rise of AI in travel planning. The company is working to make its hotels legible to the large language models travelers increasingly turn to for trip planning. At the same time, Balsley drew a clear line: those models may help a guest find a hotel, but they will not own the relationship with that guest.
Ram's Texas-flavored Longhorn trim sets out to give a mass-produced pickup the feel of a one-off, cowboy-built rig. Car and Driver's look at the truck found that translating that kind of personal, custom character onto a factory line is a harder trick than it sounds. The result is a case study in what it takes to manufacture something that's supposed to feel singular.
BMW WRT's Sheldon Van Der Linde ran down Cadillac's Earl Bamber in the final ten minutes of IMSA's Battle of the Bricks, taking the win at the line. The pass cost Cadillac a result that would have clinched the Driver's Championship early for Jack Aiken. What had shaped up as a Cadillac result turned into a BMW one in the race's closing stretch, and the title fight remains open. For BMW WRT, it was a finish decided in the last ten minutes rather than settled well before the checkered flag.
Bonpoint has partnered with the Museum of Modern Art on a 16-piece capsule collection drawn from Claude Monet's "Water Lilies." The line makes its U.S. debut on October 9, bringing one of the museum's best-known holdings out of the gallery and into children's wardrobes. It is a pairing that puts a French children's house and a New York institution on the same rack, with the collection's arrival timed to the fall season.
A post-apocalyptic build inspired by Mad Max's Humungus is crossing the block on Bring a Trailer. The truck starts life as a Ford F-150, reworked into a tribute to the franchise's menacing "Humungus Machine." Bidders on the platform will have the chance to own a piece of movie-inspired custom work built on unmistakably American underpinnings.
Rockie Rockie broke clear at Churchill Downs, handing her sire Mo Donegal the fifth winner of his freshman season at stud. The two-year-old filly is out of Bakken Baby, a black-type earner of $124,949 by Valid Expectations, and was cataloged as the third highest-priced representative of her sire's first crop. Mo Donegal, himself a son of Uncle Mo, continues to build his early résumé on the track through runners like her.
Ke Huy Quan writes in his new memoir, "Never Say Die," about the moment a residual check for $100,000 arrived for his role in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." He was a child actor at the time, and by his own account in the book, the sum was so large it barely registered as real. He described the payment as life-changing, telling readers it "didn't make any sense" to him then. The memoir traces that early windfall as one marker in a career that has since carried him back to Hollywood's biggest stages.
Nathan Fillion is discussing his latest comic-book role in "Lanterns," where his character's powers arrive with corporate backing rather than a traditional origin story. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Fillion lays out how the series distinguishes itself from "Man of Tomorrow" and "Superman" in tone and approach. He also weighs in on the lasting consequences of decisions made by Hal Jordan and John Stewart during the Battle of Rushville, a conflict that took place a decade before the new series begins.
Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson stepped out together in New York for a press stop promoting Verity, each dressed in the same easy, layered shape that's defining the season. Neither copied the other's exact look, but side by side the pairing read as a quiet style consensus — proof that a good fall silhouette can flatter two very different women without repeating itself. It's the kind of coordinated outing that turns a press day into a small style event of its own.
The stylist behind Zendaya's most quotable red carpet moments has a new client, and he made the announcement himself. Law Roach's roster already reads like a highlight reel of American style — Celine Dion, Ariana Grande, Kerry Washington among them — and he's the rare stylist with the eye and the ex-"Legendary" judge credentials to make a signing feel like an event in itself. Expect the next chapter to get the same treatment as the rest of his client list: considered, exacting and built for the camera.
For Spring 2027, Christopher Kane returned to the codes that make Mulberry Mulberry: supple leather in quantity, shapes cut clean and sleek, nothing fussy. Tucked into the collection were a handful of designs pulled straight from his own youth, the kind of references only a designer revisiting his own closet would think to include. It is a season built on precision rather than reinvention, the leather doing the talking. Mulberry fans take note: the house's signature is present, sharpened, and a little bit personal this time around.
For Spring 2027, Edeline Lee looked to the ballet barre — the repetition, the posture, the years of quiet training — and read it as fashion's own kind of discipline. The collection held close to her signature: ladylike shapes and clean structure, delivered with a dancer's sense of control rather than spectacle. It reads as a designer choosing rigor over flourish, and it suits her.
Downtown had a beauty night to remember this week, with La Esquina hosting a lineup led by Teyana Taylor, Amelia Gray, and Laura Harrier. The evening centered on YSL Beauty, which took over the below-street taqueria-turned-hotspot for the occasion. The mix of red carpet regulars in a distinctly New York setting made for a party that felt more downtown clubhouse than product launch. More names joined the group as the night went on, keeping the guest list squarely in the city's own backyard.
Taylor Swift was back in her usual seat for the Chiefs' second home game of the season, dressed down in a tank top from Erin Andrews's line. No sequins, no fuss — just a game-day uniform for the woman who has made Arrowhead a second home address this season.
Vogue's beauty desk went straight to the people who work on hair for a living, and the answer wasn't one trick but a full system — the right products, a diet built around hair health, and a set of habits that compound into real, visible length over time. No shortcuts, no single miracle step: just a stack of deliberate choices repeated often enough to show up in the mirror. It's the kind of unglamorous groundwork that, done right, ends up looking effortless on camera.
Taylor Swift raised her hand at the Chiefs-Colts game and let the wedding band do the talking, the gesture landing right as Travis Kelce crossed into the end zone. No carpet, no step-and-repeat — just a stadium seat and good timing. Sometimes the biggest jewelry moment of the season happens in the stands, not on a runway.
The ceremony aisle wasn't a straight shot to the altar — it curved, and every inch of that curve was packed with pink, purple, orange, and yellow blooms rather than left bare between sparse arrangements. That density is the planning takeaway: a winding path reads as a design decision only when the flowers fill it edge to edge, not just mark its turns. The coverage itself signals the scale of the setup — Little Black Book members the Lockharts had the aisle shot both on film and in stills, the kind of double documentation typically reserved for a floral moment substantial enough to hold up in motion and in a single frame alike.
Flexjet has put its first Embraer Praetor 600E into service, the initial delivery under a standing order covering more than 180 airplanes. The super-midsize jet joins a fleet built for owners who move between coasts without a stop, and its arrival marks the start of a program that will reshape a meaningful share of Flexjet's lineup over time. For an operator sized like Flexjet, a 180-plus-aircraft commitment is not a one-off purchase but a fleet strategy, and this Praetor 600E is where that strategy becomes visible on the ramp.
New-build yachts are increasingly being laid out around staying active rather than lounging. Owners working with naval architects and designers are asking for space long reserved for beach clubs and sprawling lounge decks to instead support fitness and movement. It marks a shift in what owners want a day on the water to feel like — vitality over idleness.
Tamara Saviano has spent a career shaping Americana music from the inside — in radio, as a publicist whose clients included Kris Kristofferson, and as the first woman to serve as president of the Americana Music Association. Now she has put that vantage point on the page with "Poets and Dreamers: My Life in Americana Music," a memoir from someone who has produced as much as she has chronicled. For a genre this town helped build, the account carries particular weight here.
WhistlePig's newest Boss Hog rye takes its cues from Ancient Egypt, and the result lands as one of the strongest entries the series has put out in years. The Vermont distillery has built Boss Hog's reputation on annual limited releases that push the barrel-finishing envelope, and this one keeps that streak intact.
The guide that has spent more than a century sending inspectors into dining rooms is opening a new ledger: wineries. Michelin, still best known to American diners as the outfit behind the star that can make or break a restaurant's night, is extending that same evaluative eye to the people who fill the glass beside the plate. For sommeliers and wine directors who build entire tasting menus around a single producer, it is a sign that the world's most closely watched dining authority now sees the vineyard as part of the same story as the kitchen.
The Vermont whiskey maker's new Boss Hog rye borrows its inspiration from ancient Egypt, and it lands as one of the strongest entries the series has poured in years. For a bottle that trades on barnyard swagger more than pharaonic polish, that's the kind of left turn Florida's rye drinkers will happily pour a glass to.
The same French tire company that decides which Palm Beach dining rooms get a star is now setting its sights on wineries, expanding the guide's ambitions well past the restaurant table. It is a logical next chapter for an outfit that built its name rating tread and pavement before it ever rated a tasting menu. But the reaction from vintners has been notably less warm than the reaction Florida diners gave the guide's arrival in Miami and Palm Beach, with plenty in the wine world questioning whether a restaurant rubric translates to a vineyard. Around here, where an argument about a wine list can outlast the entrée at a Naples supper club, that skepticism will sound familiar. Whether Michelin wins the wine world over the way it won over local dining rooms remains to be seen.
An independent tuner has taken Jeep's familiar 4.0-liter inline-six and added a full liter of displacement, with no turbocharger or supercharger attached. The resulting engine now makes more horsepower than Jeep quotes for its newer twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six. It's proof of how much power remains in the old platform when displacement alone does the work.
Dynamic Pricing (Ire), a daughter of Night Of Thunder (Ire), won the Forever Together Stakes, closing ground her rivals could not answer in the stretch. She had come to the race without the early buzz of the field around her, but the timing of her run mattered more than the timing of her arrival on the scene. At the wire, where these races are actually decided, she was in front.
Rick Dutrow, Jr. saddled his 2,000th career winner in North America at Belmont Park, where Long Pour, a son of Tom's d'Etat, took Race 7 against a tough nine-horse field of New York-breds. The mile-and-a-sixteenth optional claimer put a number on paper that few conditioners ever reach, one earned the old-fashioned way, race by race, over years on the New York circuit. For a trainer whose barn has long been a fixture at Belmont, the milestone came on the same track where so much of that record was built.
A wave of quietly upscale finds is climbing Amazon's trending charts right now, the kind of polished, put-together pieces our readers already gravitate toward off the runway. The retailer counts roughly 100 such items on the rise, each carrying a high-class look often at a fraction of a red-carpet price tag. For a set that tracks the line between borrowed glamour and the real thing, it's a reminder that good taste is spreading well past the closets we usually cover.
Ferrari has confirmed it will offer sketched-on body panels from the 12Cilindri as standalone artwork, each one marked by the automaker's chief designer before it ever reaches a garage. For collectors who already own the car, or simply admire its lines, the panels are pitched as a way to hang a piece of the design process rather than park it.
Don't Tell Mom, a 2-year-old filly by Upstart out of the Maclean's Music mare Parlance, drew off to a clear-cut score at Churchill Downs. The victory landed only days after Flying Dutchmen had been active buyers at the Keeneland September sale, giving the outfit a week that ran straight from the auction pavilion to the track. The margin at the wire left little for handicappers to debate. It capped what was already shaping up as a banner stretch for the operation.
Rose of Riyadh broke her maiden at Gulfstream Park in her very first start, taking on colts and getting the job done. The two-year-old filly, by Yaupon out of I Love Shopping (herself by Violence), won by a narrow margin that undersold the performance underneath it. Those closing the race in person saw a professional's composure rather than a debut horse's nerves.
New York Racing Association announced Sunday that three Wednesday cards have been restored to the Belmont Park fall meet's October schedule, replacing dates lost to earlier cancellations. The addition keeps the fall calendar at Belmont intact for horsemen and racegoers who plan their trips around the track's midweek programs. For a meet built on tradition at the historic Long Island oval, the restored dates mean a fuller autumn of racing rather than a shortened one.
Dynamic Pricing (Ire) needed no early build-up to make her presence felt in the Forever Together Stakes. The daughter of Night Of Thunder (Ire) came into the field as one of its later additions, and left it as the one that mattered — first past the wire, where a stakes race is actually decided. For an Irish-bred filly taking her turn in American turf company, that finish was introduction enough.
The Foamposite has always had a way of making a shoe look like sculpture, and Nike's latest spin on it proves the point again. The silhouette once reserved for University of Oregon insiders — the "Mummy Duck" colorway, done here in black — is stepping off campus and into general release. For a shoe built on shine and structure rather than laces and mesh, going from exclusive to attainable is its own kind of milestone.
Toga's Spring 2026 collection, from designer Yasuko Furuta, takes on a problem anyone dressing for a Palm Beach summer already knows: how to layer when even a single garment feels like one too many. Furuta's approach makes the case that layering can be the relief rather than the burden, a lighter way to dress for heat rather than a heavier one. It is a small rethinking of a basic wardrobe habit, not a rejection of it.
For her Spring 2027 collection, Emilia Wickstead built an entire season around the studio uniform of painter Lee Krasner, translating it into feather-trimmed tweeds and dresses cut on the bias. Daisies recur throughout, each one hand-finished with a loose, painterly quality that nods to Krasner's own brushwork rather than a factory print. Rather than a runway show, the collection debuted in a short film narrated by a restaurateur, trading the usual catwalk for something closer to a character study. It's proof that even a working smock, reimagined carefully enough, can carry a whole collection.
Emilia Wickstead built her Spring 2027 collection around the working wardrobe of painter Lee Krasner, turning a studio uniform into eveningwear. Tweed jackets arrive dusted with feathers, dresses are cut on the bias, and daisies are finished by hand so they read as painted rather than stitched on. The collection made its debut not on a runway but in a short film, narrated by a restaurateur rather than the usual fashion-week voice. It is a season built from an artist's closet rather than a mood board.
Anne Hathaway is expecting, and she dressed for it in black, cut fitted rather than loose. There's no drape doing extra work here, no oversized silhouette standing in for the body underneath — just a dress that fits, in a color that always reads finished. By Elle's account, the effect lands as effortless, which is its own kind of styling skill.
Hailey Bieber has traded her signature lighter tones for the darkest hair color she has shown yet, arriving right as fall settles in. The shift reads as a deliberate seasonal recalibration rather than a passing experiment. No word yet on whether the deeper shade sticks past the season, but for now it is the boldest departure from her usual palette to date.
Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in a flannel shirt carrying a Kelly bag, and the combination read as effortless rather than curated. It's the kind of pairing that only works when the wearer isn't trying too hard: a wardrobe basic set beside a genuine investment piece, treated with equal ease. Lawrence has built a reputation on exactly this instinct, mixing high and low until the distinction stops mattering.
Roksanda's spring 2027 collection borrows its arty edge from an unlikely source: textile sculptor Françoise Grossen, whose signature knotting and braiding techniques have long lived in fiber art rather than on a runway. The designer works those same techniques into daywear, giving everyday pieces the kind of considered, hand-worked detail usually saved for evening.
Toyota has engineered its new GR GT3 in reverse order from most of the industry. Rather than starting with a production model and adapting it for competition, the automaker built the car to GT3 racing specifications first and let that engineering define the version now being offered for sale. It is an inversion of the usual playbook, where the race car is a modified version of what a customer can already buy. For collectors, that order matters: this is a car whose road-going form descends from the racer, not the other way around.
WhistlePig has released a new bottling in its Boss Hog rye whiskey line, this one drawing its inspiration from ancient Egypt. The Vermont distillery's Boss Hog series has built its reputation on unconventional annual releases, and this edition continues that run with a theme unlike anything the line has done before.
WhistlePig's latest Boss Hog rye takes its cue from Ancient Egypt, and by most accounts the gamble pays off — word from the tasting table is that it ranks among the strongest entries the line has poured in years. Around here, where a bottle like this is as likely to anchor a dinner party as it is a bar cart, that kind of pedigree tends to get noticed fast.
The colt Lake Forest, a son of No Nay Never who finished second in the Group 1 City of York Stakes, is being aimed at American company this fall. Racing manager Sean Graham, representing one of the horse's owners, has laid out a two-start U.S. campaign built around the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Mile. It would mark the colt's first appearances on this side of the Atlantic, bringing a proven miler with black-type form into the heart of the American autumn racing calendar.
Vogue's latest best-dressed roundup skipped the new-season rack entirely. Bella Hadid pulled her look straight from Ralph Lauren's archive, the kind of find most closets simply don't have access to. Kim Kardashian went further back still, reaching for Saint Laurent from the Tom Ford era, with stylist Law Roach doing the digging. Two archives, two different decades, one clear verdict: vintage is having its moment.
Timberland has taken its signature 6-inch boot and given it a stud-embellished, special-edition treatment, part of a new women's Stone Street collection landing now. The lineup pairs the boot with a matching Stone Street Platform Boat Shoe, both fitted with the same hardware finish. Both styles are available immediately, no waitlist required. It's the boot's rugged silhouette with a harder shine on top.
Tracee Ellis Ross showed up to the gala at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in a Bottega Veneta look lifted straight off the runway, faux fur and all. The Los Angeles museum's event drew a full house of actors and musicians, the kind of crowd that turns a single outfit into the night's talking point. Ross's choice held its own in that company, runway-precise rather than red-carpet-safe.
Taylor Swift went with the surest bet in the closet for a dinner date with Travis Kelce: a little black dress, no further debate necessary. It is the specific kind of dress that solves a specific kind of evening — sharp enough for a real table, unfussy enough that you are not still deciding at the door. No trend piece needed, no season to check it against; the little black dress has always been dinner-date shorthand for "put together, not performing." Swift's version of that math is, once again, correct.
