iPhone sales may be slow, but Apple’s CEO argues the company is primed to seize the AI moment.
After announcing March quarter revenues reflecting weak iPhone sales, Apple CEO Tim Cook seemed eager to assure analysts that his company is working hard to integrate AI into its products and services. On Thursday, he mentioned “AI” in various contexts early and often in his opening comments during Apple’s call going over the financial results.

Highly recommended by professional hairstylists, the Ibiza brushes feature cork handles that are easy to grip so that you can get the most tension and smoothest style. The B8 brush, in particular, is the brand’s largest brush in the blonde boar collection and works just as well to create smooth looks as it does curly ones. According to hairstylist Rogerio Cavalcante, the boar bristles on this one are especially good for those with textured or hard-to-straighten hair. He adds, “Large brushes are perfect for long hair and can add volume at the roots.”
Materials: Boar bristles, resin Best for: All hair types including textured, fine and color-treated

Montblanc creative director Marco Tomasetta recently received a note for his birthday. It wasn’t sent on WhatsApp or via Instagram DM—the handwritten card was delivered in the mail. He locked it in a vault for safekeeping.
“A letter is the most precious thing,” Tomasetta tells ELLE through a translator. “I would love to have a new generation understand how important the personal intimacy of writing and drawing is. Through this, I learned to know myself. I like to tell young adults not to [focus on] the lives of others on Instagram. Don’t be obsessed with other people’s lives. Be obsessed with knowing yourself.”

Anyone But You star Sydney Sweeney takes the wheel for Jimmy Choo’s sun-soaked Summer 2024 campaign, titled “Road to Joy.” Shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch in Palm Springs, Sweeney dazzles from gas stations to desert photo booths in the brand’s new Cece mules, latte leather Cinch bag, and Jemma sandals, as well as Choo’s signature Ixia pumps, Amel kitten heels, and Diamond Maxi sneakers.

Her effortlessly cool sense of glamour is underpinned with an empowered sense of self. We loved working with Sydney to create the campaign story taking us on an uplifting adventure.”

The weather is warming up, which means everybody is outside again, which means you need clothes and shoes that are tough enough to handle some serious fun in the sun. I'm talking about long, meandering walks through that town you're visiting for vacation, and cleats that can handle summertime kick-arounds, and tennis shoes that are just as sporty as they are chic. I'm talking about tees that you can wear from the gym to the bar, and tote bags that you can bring along. I'm talking, of course, about New Balance's spring sale.
If this season brings you anywhere, let it be to the marked-down deals over at New Balance. Right now, best-selling styles of clothing, shoes, and accessories are up to 33 percent off, which means that you can (and should) step into all of your warm-weather activities outfitted in fresh, new finds.

You can use this brand’s products to curate the barely-there, clean girl makeup look of your dreams. However, the brand promotes playing with color—after all, its tagline is “Wake your color, make your scene.” This line of eyeshadow palettes offers 16 (and counting) variations, so you’re bound to find one that suits you and the effect you’re going for.
S hades: 16 Yesstyle rating: 4.8/5 stars A Yesstyle reviewer says: “I already had one Wakemake palette, and I absolutely loved the formula, so I got this one as well. Those shadows somehow stay on your eyes all day even without any concealer or primer. Also, the shades are universal and pigmented and perfect for cool-toned complexions like mine. It’s universal, and with it, you can do everyday makeup as well as for occasions.”

Lip balms are having a moment in beauty. Case in point: Acclaimed director Sofia Coppola has teamed up with skincare darling Augustinus Bader on a trio of sheer tinted lip balms—a new staple in the handbags of cool girls everywhere. Out now, the balms are a must-have for cinephiles, the beauty-obsessed, or really, anyone with lips.
“My favorite sheer lipstick was from Monoprix in Paris, but then they discontinued it. I had a few last ones that I hoarded,” Coppola tells Bazaar. “I am a fan of Augustinus Bader; I love the Rich Cream and the lip balm. I wrote a note to Professor Bader asking if they would agree to make my favorite tint with their balm. I was happy when he said yes!”

Today, Chanel’s creative director Virginie Viard staged the house’s Cruise 2024/2025 runway show in Marseille, France, on the rooftop of the Cite Radieuse, an iconic modern apartment complex built between 1947 and 1952 by Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier. The futuristic concrete space is currently an arts center with ongoing exhibitions and programming, a gathering place for the diversified creative scene that resides in the southern seaside town. In tandem with the show, Chanel also set up its own radio station for a podcast featuring conversations between a rotating mix of artists and creatives, like actress Marion Cotillard, sound director Michel Gaubert, chef Valentin Raffali, and curator and art historian Emmanuelle Luciani.
Marseille is a far cry from the streets of Manchester, where Viard transported guests for her pre-fall 2024 collection, but not so distant from the inspiration behind Chanel’s spring 2024 offering, Deauville, the French seaside escape where Gabrielle Chanel first launched her business as a milliner.

Picture this: It’s 1995. You are 14 years old. 14 years and eight months, to be exact. Yes, you’re the sassy type. You’re cruising through the mall with your two best friends and just called your crush on the pay phone so him and his friends can come meet you and yours. While you wait to meet in the food court, you pop into Victoria Secret’s or Bath and Body Works and douse yourself in body mist. You stop at the candy shop and get a quarter pound of your favorite sweet and sour candy before heading to meet your crush.
That’s what Kayali’s latest sweet scent, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, is giving—’90s mall rat energy. “Oh my God, that’s such a good description because I grew up in the ’90s and that’s when I was the biggest mall rat ever,” exclaims Mona Kattan, founder of Kayali, as we chat during lunchtime on Friday. For the gourmand girlies, this scent will satisfy the sweetest of cravings. Candied pears, marshmallow, rocky candy, and bubble gum dance with violet leaves, jasmine, and patchouli for a sweet scent that dries down to a saccharine, smoky vanilla essence. You can’t help but feel like a kid in a candy shop—Kattan admits she worked in her school’s candy store. “I love desserts. I’m a sweet tooth girl. It’s probably my biggest weakness in life, so that’s why I always want to smell really sweet. It just makes me happy,” says Kattan.

By now, you’ve probably heard that Bella Hadid is launching a fragrance brand called Orebella—which is available to shop today. You may also already seen the brand’s golden geometric bottles and a tutorial on activating the scents, and maybe even read a blind review or two. Celebrity fragrance and beauty brands are, of course, a dime a dozen—with new ones launching monthly—but I can attest that Orebella is genuinely innovative. SHOP The complete collection of Orebella scents: Salted Muse, Blooming Fire, and Window2Soul
What Hadid has built is a brand that feels authentically hers, with easy, wearable scents and good-for-you formulas that are delightfully addictive. The three Orebella scents are alcohol-free and based around essential oils like rose, geranium, and almond sweet fixed oil. The fragrances are suspended in a hydrating and nourishing base that must be shaken up before spraying close to the skin. Blooming Fire, a warm floral, has been sitting on my work desk for two months, and I look forward to commuting to the office just to spritz it on. I can’t recall the last time a fragrance—celebrity or otherwise—made me feel that way.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world.
If you read much current trend reporting, you might think that skinny jeans are verboten or that Sambas have finally reached their saturation point. Madé Lapuerta doesn’t necessarily see it that way. The creator of the Instagram account @databutmakeitfashion has become somewhat of a counterintuitive force in the industry, dispensing data-driven analyses of trends and trendlets to her nearly 300,000 followers. Like a stock ticker, her account keeps track of the faintest fluctuations: tenniscore is up, coquette style is down. She’s become a bullshit detector in an age of ever more confusing and esoteric TikTok-bred trends.

Maya Rudolph strikes a pose as Town & Country’s May covergirl
Very T&C! Maya Rudolph is Town & Country‘s latest covergirl, fronting the magazine’s May issue in a shoot by Ruven Afanador. For the occasion—and its luxe modern editorial—Rudolph is styled by Rebecca Grice in an array of outfits by Valentino, Max Mara, Nili Lotan, Willy Chavarria, Balenciaga, Christian Siriano, and Norma Kamali. In the accompanying cover story by Jessica Pressler, Rudolph delves into her role as a billionaire’s divorcée in the hit Apple TV+ show Loot, as well as her memories from Saturday Night Live, work ethic, co-launching a production company, and how she chooses her comedic roles.
“I think half the stuff I did is because a friend said, ‘Will you come and do this?’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, that sounds fun,'” Rudolph says. “I never really knew what direction I was going to go in. I still don’t want to know. I want it to be informed by what I’d like to do, as opposed to what I’m supposed to do. I think that’s when it’s the most fun and the most alive.”

Last night, luxury German brand Montblanc feted the 100th birthday of its legendary Meisterstück fountain pen in true L.A. style at the Paramour Estate in Silver Lake with 250 guests. Front and center at the outdoor dinner was the anniversary campaign, which itself inspired a short movie by Wes Anderson who—unusually—starred in it alongside mates Jason Schwartzman and Rupert Friend.
The anniversary features a collection of limited-edition Meisterstück pens under the Origins banner, which also includes a new line of leather goods created by the house’s artistic director Marco Tomasetta. The anniversary pen collection features stylized takes on details gleaned from a century of design innovations—but don’t go thinking they’ll look old-timey or dated. The original Meisterstück from 1924 featured an ingenious retractable nib that sealed off the pan against leaks and it already bore much of the design language still visible on today’s pens including “4810” engraved on the 18K gold nib, the altitude in meters of Euope’s highest mountain, which for the brand was a literal pinnacle to strive for in its production. The stylized snow cap—an impression of the mountain’s summit viewed from above—was an early signifier for a brand that played very early on with modern branding ideas.

“Let’s talk beauty, even though I have a hair extension holding on for dear life,” Heather McMahan tells me. She’s fresh from her first performance at Madison Square Garden the night before, where, true to comedy’s lopsided ratio, she was the sole female performer at the Garden of Laughs charity event amidst the likes of Tracy Morgan and Jon Stewart. McMahan’s shiniest-bulb-in-the-chandelier presence seems suddenly everywhere: hosting the Oscars red carpet, starring in her first Netflix special, in your feed commenting on the blessings and indignities of millennial womanhood. With her Instagram stories and her podcast, McMahan has built a rabid fan base from her intrepid takes on everything from grief to thigh chafe. Now, at 37, she’s finding the success she’s worked years for. ELLE.com caught up with the comedian in between stops on her tour. When I saw your live show, I was stunned at how many women in the audience were dressed in homage to you in your signature cheetah print. You have this magical quality of making people feel like you’re their big sister or best friend. How do you foster that?
Heather McMahan: My comedy has always been so raw and real. I’m a woman out there hustling in a man’s world, trying to do the damn thing, all while making sure my Spanx doesn’t roll down, my mascara isn’t running, and my eyelashes stay on. It was funny, last night [at MSG], all the guys showed up in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, and I have full hair and makeup and an extra set of diamonds on, because that’s the way I like to present myself. I love fashion. I love putting on the glam, and I think my audience knows I’m going to show up for them in a glamorous way, but also, I’m going to be real about it. I’m not getting paid by beauty brands. I’m an eczema warrior, just hoping I don’t have a flare-up, you know what I mean? I’ve been very honest...

What if you could spritz on an emotion? What if a fragrance were able to instantaneously elicit a particular feeling, whether it was joy, calmness, or empowerment? Heralded makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury believes that fantasy is now a reality, with the launch of her new Fragrance Collection of Emotions.
Out today, the collection includes six scents whose purpose is allowing you to “spray on a feeling,” by way of your olfactory sense. But can a fragrance really elicit a specific emotion? To uncover the truth, Bazaar spoke to a neuroscientist, three master perfumers, and Tilbury herself. (The short answer? Yes—but also no.)

I’m not going to spoil Challengers for you, but I am going to spoil which sneakers are worn in the tennis drama. The final ten minutes of the movie are undoubtedly the most intense and important, and as I teetered on the literal edge of my seat—torso pitched forward, elbows on my knees, intently focused on everything happening onscreen—I noticed something. A flash of white amid the chaos of a life-defining tennis match. There they were, right on the feet of Mike Faist: a pair of Roger Pro sneakers by Swiss brand On.
I’d know the On logo anywhere. I see it hundreds of times a day on passersby in the city, and I’m well aware of the fact that fans love the brand for its comfortable, cool, high-performance sneakers. So I’m not really surprised that they had such a big moment during the most pivotal part of Challengers, worn by Faist’s Art Donaldsonduring the final moments of his match against best-friend-turned-enemy Patrick Zweig (played by Josh O’Connor). Because let’s face it: These shoes are stars—and they come in women’s sizes.

From career highlights to family reunions, discover the top moments below.
What’s one of your favorite beauty moments from working together over the years? Rachel Goodwin, Makeup Artist of the Year: “You know what came to me? The Marie Claire cover that we shot that was black and white. You had dark hair, it was so different for you, because we did something really…You looked so different! We did ’60s eyes, dark hair. I forget which role that was for, but you had dark hair. It was just so fun to just get out of the comfort zone and do something radically different, but there’s been so many.”

From Rihanna’s iconic omelet gown to Princess Diana’s heavenly Dior slipdress 1 Rihanna in Comme des Garçons, 2017
I always come back to Rihanna’s Comme des Garçons look in 2017! It’s hard to wear a puffball around your torso for an entire evening, but she made it look easy. (Then again, making things look easy is a Rihanna specialty.) I especially love the way her beauty look plays with the dress: The strong blush brings out the pink tones, and the bangs and high bun emphasize the girlishness of the patchwork dress. It all works in concert to make her look like a visitor from another planet where this is standard formal event attire—and personally, I would like to spend some time on that planet. — Izzy Grinspan, digital director 2

A fountain pen is like a tie these days. It’s not a necessity but an expression of taste—and a chance to snatch a little extra joy from the grip of everyday existence. Given the choice, would you rather scratch out a note with a cheap plastic ballpoint or glide a finely tuned 18k-gold nib over a sheet of paper? No contest.
This brings us to Montblanc. Founded in 1906 with the catchy name Simplizissiumus-Füllhalter, the company pioneered modern, easy-to-use fountain pens. And the Meisterstück— German for “masterpiece”—has been the pinnacle of its lineup since it was introduced in 1924. It’s the fountain pen elevated to an art form. Combining superior engineering and materials, the century-old Meisterstück takes the writing experience to another level by ensuring that the ink flows in an unbroken stream from reservoir to nib to paper without the slightest pressure from the user. It’s a simple pleasure but a profound one. And sometimes—more often than you might expect—that’s just what you need.

I can’t scroll on TikTok for more than two or three minutes before a video of someone recommending a beauty product pops up on my For You page. While I’m all too familiar with the “holy grail” products, TikTok recently introduced a new product category: unsexy beauty products.
As a beauty editor, I am constantly being surveyed by friends, family, and sometimes strangers—who’ve just learned my job title—about what products actually work. Framing products as “unsexy” is just a way of saying they get the job done, regardless of how they look, smell, or cost. Often, a product can come in beautiful, alluring packaging, but it overpromises and underdelivers when it comes to the formula inside. But unsexy products churn out results without frills.

As a denim editor for ELLE, I get more than my fair share of pitches and press releases about new collections, collaborations, and, seemingly more than ever, sustainability initiatives. How is it, I wondered, that the denim industry became one of the leaders in environmentally responsible practices when it comes to ready-to-wear? Well, after a meeting with Citizens of Humanity, where the brand enlightened me about its regenerative cotton practices (more on that later), I decided to connect the dots.
It’s no secret that sustainability has been a conversation in fashion for years, if not decades. As one of the most notoriously damaging industries to the environment, fashion—and shopping, for that matter—is simply not sustainable. “Waste is a big issue,” said Beth Esponnette, the co-founder and creative director of unspun, a garment technology company specializing in zero-waste production. “The fashion industry produces over 97 million tons of waste annually, including textiles, chemicals, and packaging materials.”

After months of dropping hints about her new endeavor on Instagram, the purpose of Bella Hadid’s new line, ‘Ôrebella (pronounced “aura-bella”) was finally revealed today. The model and brand founder is carving out a space in the beauty world with a collection of fragrances in alcohol-free, bi-phase formulas. The trio of scents are priced at $35 for 10mL, $72 for 50mL and $100 for 100mL. A gold perfume stand fit for the 100ml fragrance bottles can also be purchased for $35 at Orebella.com and Ulta.com.
Hadid, who has been open about her health issues, said in an exclusive interview with WWD that she has “always had an aversion to alcohol in scents,” which was one of the reasons for her unique formulas that explore the “skinification of fragrance.”

Found in piña coladas, upside-down cakes, and Lilly Pulitzer prints, pineapple has long been a symbol of warm weather. Tropical and juicy, the fruit is transportive, conjuring mental images of breezy outdoor bars and Hawaiian getaways. But aside from the occasional inexpensive body mist, pineapple has been tragically underutilized in the world of fragrance—until now.
The fruit is getting a chic sensorial makeover. Not unlike pistachio before it, pineapple is breaking outside of its spiky shell and finding its place in some of the biggest launches of the season, starring in new scents from Ellis Brooklyn, Pacifica, D.S. & Durga, and By/Rosie Jane, and even in a new Polo Ralph Lauren cologne.

Denny Zager rose to fame as part of the duo Zager & Evans in the late '60s, yet it's his guitars that have perhaps had the largest musical impact. Having applied his know-how to easy-to-play acoustic guitars, he's retiring this year — but is leaving with an oft-requested black lacquer version of his cutaway ZAD900CE model. With a lower string height, greater distance between the strings, a slim neck, and an intelligent bracing system to help movement, it's imminently playable, producing the same rich, warm sound that's made it a beloved favorite. Each lucky buyer will also receive a robust bonus package that includes a digitally humidified case, extra Zager PillowTouch strings, three carbon-tipped picks, a truss key, a stainless capo, a leather strap, a digital tuner, and a free lifetime membership to Mr. Zager's guitar lesson library..

A beauty treatment made popular by celebrities like Kim and Kourtney Kardashian is now the focus of the CDC’s latest health investigation. 3 patients who received platelet-rich plasma (PRP) microneedling procedures, or “vampire facials” at VIP Spa in New Mexico, contracted HIV due to negligence and unsanitary facilities, according to the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report published last week. An on-site inspection of the spa, which is now closed, found “multiple unsafe infection control practices,” including “unlabeled tubes containing blood” stored in kitchen refrigerators, and unwrapped syringes “discarded in regular trash cans.” This is the first case ever linking cosmetic injection beauty services and HIV transmission, CDC epidemiologist Dr. Anna Behar tells ELLE.com. “The risk for HIV is generally very low when it comes to cosmetic injection services. This is the only instance that we're aware of,” she said.
The federal authorities started their investigation into VIP Spa in the summer of 2018 after the New Mexico Department of Health reported a woman in her 40s, who was a patient at the spa, tested positive for HIV despite reporting no injection drug use, sexual contact with anyone other than her partner, or recent blood transfusions. Her diagnosis, void of typical risk factors associated with HIV, triggered the CDC to investigate and identify 59 spa clients at risk of HIV exposure. VIP Spa was shut down in September of 2018, and its owner, Maria Ramos de Ruiz, is now serving three and a half years in prison.

If Gabrielle Chanel had been alive for this spring’s total solar eclipse, my guess is she’d have had her horoscope read, jotted down her intentions, and designed a glamorous pair of pearl-studded eclipse glasses for the occasion. Coco Chanel was fascinated by the cosmos and astrology, so much so that it influenced her personally and professionally. A proud Leo, she left lion emblems scattered throughout her private apartment on Rue Cambon in Paris, as well as embossed on buttons of her brand’s iconic tweed jackets. In 1932, Chanel’s first High Jewelry collection was an homage to the celestial, featuring a spectacular star- and comet-shaped necklace—an exquisite piece of jewelry that, 92 years later, has inspired the house’s newest fragrance: the latest addition to the Les Exclusifs de Chanel collection, aptly named Comète. Chanel COMÈTE LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL
For Chanel's in-house perfumer Olivier Polge, the 1932 jewelry collection was just the launching pad for his creative process, which began in his office with an idea and a piece of paper—the “recipe,” as he calls it. “The comet started as an inspirational element, a motif, but then it went beyond the jewelry,” Polge tells Bazaar. Ultimately, the comet became a symbol for many aspects of Gabrielle Chanel’s life and spirit. “When I think about a comet, it expresses something magical. It expresses beliefs in astrology. [Chanel] was someone who believed in faith and in luck—you know, number five was her lucky number.”
