As one of the fashion industry’s most storied brands, Coach somehow always manages to reinvent itself and breathe new life into its iconic handbag silhouettes. The Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag 20 With Quilting ($395) is just the latest example of the label’s commitment to innovation, and in true Coach fashion, it arrives just in time for spring in a bevy of fresh, seasonal colorways.
In the summer of 2023, just a few years after the launch of Parisian footwear label Nomasei, founders Paule Tenaillon and Marine Braquet received a message on Instagram. It was from Blake Lively who, after stumbling upon their account, wanted to know where to get her hands on a pair of their Nono loafers. While Lively might’ve been the first A-lister to slide into their DMs, she certainly wasn’t the first celebrity to show interest. Tenaillon recalls a period in late 2022 when their designs were spotted, back to back, on Nicole Kidman, Kristen Stewart, and Emily in Paris’ Camille Razat. Despite the growing list of celebrity clientele, which also includes Katie Holmes, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Bella Hadid, Braquet feels that “we still haven’t made it.” She continues, “I think we will start to feel safe when our name will be a little bit more known and [we] continue to have this trust in ourselves.”

If you’re not usually wowed by the latest celeb or designer collab, then now would be a good time to take a seat, because Bloomingdale’s Aqua x Liat Baruch just debuted, and it is one limited-edition collection that you won’t want to miss.
That’s why it was so hard for me to watch Emma Stone take the stage to claim her win. That’s not to say that Emma Stone’s performance wasn’t magical, because it was. Nor am I really interested in subjective debates about whose performance was better (because if we’re going down that route, I’d be tempted to throw Sandra Huller into the top two), but it’s hard to celebrate her win when it’s her second Oscar. Stone’s performance as Bella in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things was zany, absurd, out there, and a far cry form her previous performances. Of course it was a job well done. She was the heart of Poor Things, which may have been furthered by something Gladstone did not have: screentime.
While award season might be winding down a bit, the Oscars red carpet is set to be anything but boring. Taking place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles this year, the 96th annual Academy Awards will celebrate some of our favorite stars including Emma Stone, America Ferrera, and Carey Mulligan. While we’re always mesmerized by the fashion at award shows, we can’t count out these incredible beauty looks we’ve spotted so far. TBH, I might need a few days to recover, take them all in, and promptly add them to my mood board. Keep scrolling and you’ll see what I mean. These are the absolute best Oscars red carpet beauty looks we’ve seen so far.
