EDITORS’ PICKS This month’s wish list

W

ith great risks come great rewards. And the young women we have chosen to profile in this Winter issue are not the ones living carefully, they are living their lives fully present and taking chances with projects that both make waves and move the needle.

Take our cover subject, Sydney Sweeney. The breakout star of HBO’s The White Lotus and a favorite in Euphoria, she has taken on the roles of the girls you want to hate — but she is anything but that. With the warmest and most welcoming disposition, she is determined and talented and already making a name for herself. Dressed in this season’s sportif apparel, she epitomizes a carefree vibe that’s not easily attained.

Another actor not playing it safe is Taylour Paige of Zola fame. The Inglewood-born dancer turned actor wowed in the modern cult classic about a pair of strippers looking to find their fortune. We shot Taylour in Louis Vuitton’s Cruise collection, which is as powerful in presence as she is.

And speaking of presence, model Ivy Getty has it in spades. From the way she carries herself to the fashion risks she artfully navigates, she is definitely making a statement wherever she goes in the world, be it Paris, New York or London. Raised in San Francisco as part of a family dynasty that needs no introduction, she charts her own course with the choices she makes, but always finds time to come home to the city by the bay. In fact, it is in her grandmother’s house where she grew up that we shot Ivy in a fashion portfolio, mixing world-class interiors and world-class fashion.

The moral of the story? Take note of these talented, driven young women and take more risks, be more fearless (in career and in life)! Maybe by doing that, we can all find that elusive elixir of eternal youth.

As the new RH SAN FRANCISCO, THE GALLERY, bows at the former Bethlehem Steel building, the brand’s longtime outpost on Henry Adams Street (pictured here) has been reenvisioned as a monastic gallery for the latest concept, RH CONTEMPORARY.

he new RH San Francisco, The Gallery, inside the iconic 1917 Bethlehem Steel building is the crown jewel in the latest of a string of NorCal openings for the storied brand — and a deeply personal one for the brand’s impassioned CEO, Gary Friedman. “I remember growing up in San Francisco and my mom would take me to the Emporium department store downtown. It was such a magical place, with multiple floors of shopping soaring up to the sky under this beautiful glass

Turn

rotunda,” says Friedman, who grew up on food stamps with his single mother. They eventually relocated to Sonoma County, and he never got to dine at the Emporium’s rotunda restaurant; but now, in a way, he finally can. Amid the new 80,000-squarefoot gallery, where entire floors are dedicated to RH’s businesses (including RH Modern, RH Interiors, RH Outdoor and the brand’s largest RH Interior Design Firm and Atelier), the glass-enclosed atrium restaurant with trickling fountains, glass chandeliers and soaring medjool date palms sets a new high-water mark in luxury retail.

In the 20 years since Friedman took the helm at RH, he’s transformed the sleepy knickknack brand into a publicly traded luxury conglomerate. It’s a fairy tale not unlike Friedman’s own success story — he famously dropped out of Santa Rosa Junior College and became a stock boy at The Gap before a 13-year turn at Williams-Sonoma, where he was passed over for the CEO title despite having helped Pottery Barn become a $1 billion brand.

At RH, Friedman was determined to summit the luxury mountain, with key moments of the brand’s ascent playing out close to its Corte Madera headquarters.

In 2010, he had the radical vision to break from the traditional mall model, opening RH’s first stand-alone gallery in S.F. (which will now be home to the new RH Contemporary concept). In 2018, RH debuted its first experience-driven concept, in Yountville, with a five-building compound including a wine vault at the historic Ma(i)sonry building and a restaurant surrounded by 100-year-old olive trees. And last summer, Friedman unveiled a colossal 60,000-square-foot gallery in Corte Madera with a glassencased rooftop restaurant and wine bar that looks out onto a fully landscaped park.

The company has a firehose stream of forthcoming hospitality initiatives, from guesthouses and restaurants to yachts and gulfstreams, along with the opening of its first overseas gallery next year (on a 73-acre estate in Oxfordshire, England, no less) that will bring its signature linen sofas, reclaimed tables and glittering fixtures to life. With each new project, Friedman applies the same litmus test: “Does it leave a lasting memory as the Rotunda did to this young boy 50 years ago?” 590 20th St., S.F., 415-865-0407; rh.com. K.M. 2

A MONIQUE LHUILLIER Spring 2020 ready-to-wear gown, photographed on the shores of Lake Como, Italy.

TULLE STORIES Monique Lhuillier’s elegant new volume “She’ll erupt with childlike excitement over embroidery and lace and in the next moment pivot to sharply focusing on the tiniest detail of construction,” writes Reese Witherspoon in the foreword to Monique Lhuillier: Dreaming of Fashion and Glamour (Rizzoli New York, $95).

Witherspoon called upon the Los Angeles-based designer to create a blushhued gown for her 2011 wedding, but she is far from Lhuillier’s only high-profile client; since establishing her eponymous label 25 years ago, the designer has dressed an array of glamorous women — both on screen and off — from Gwyneth Paltrow and Rihanna to Michelle Obama.

Now she’s created a compendium on her collections, custom designs, footwear,

tablescapes, home decor and boutiques, at once reflecting on her oeuvre and charting a path forward.

“There was a point early in my career where I remember people recognized my work and started pronouncing my name correctly. It was a moment where we said to ourselves, ‘something is happening here,’ ” says the Filipina-American, who studied fashion design in L.A. and began piecing together wedding dresses shortly after her own nuptials. Soon she was also creating ready-to-wear, showing collections in Bryant Park, at Lincoln Center and on Paris’ Place Vendôme, with photo shoots on Lake Como and at Dawnridge in Beverly Hills. Now, looking ahead, Lhuillier feels a renewed sense of creativity and optimism, with her first resort collection launching this November. “I’m continually inspired by the colors, florals and nature that surrounds me every day,” she says.

An eye for floral relics at Paris’ Marché aux Puces flea market and a stint creating buttons for Elsa Schiaparelli led Jean Schlumberger to a life of jewelry design. In his personal studio and salon in the original Tiffany & Co. flagship store, the self-taught artist dreamed up distinctly imaginative designs mixing precious elements with fanciful flourishes.

The collection’s elegant combination of high-tech performance gear — including an ultra-matte ski mask — and retro butterfly shades with Mizza leopard-print jumpsuits offers polished looks for downhill racers and lodge loungers alike. Slope-ready Dior Oblique and Lucky Star motifs and Christian Dior logos in blue and red emblazon the powder-white wool sweaters, shapka-style hats, gloves, ski pants and down puffers comprising the sporty Dior Star series.

Last-minute travel is a given in any Bond film, making the art of grab-and-go crucial.

Luckily for Eve Moneypenny (played by Naomie Harris in the newest 007 thriller, No Time To Die), Michael Kors has stepped in with a limited-edition capsule collection of three elegant bags designed for the espionage set: the Bond Bancroft satchel, Bond Carryall and Bond Duffel, crafted in Italy. A plaque inside the satchel — also worn

by Harris in the film — pays homage to the collaboration between Kors and 007, as do luggage tags on the other two bags. Whether aboard a motorcycle, plane or Aston Martin, transit with these bags in tow is sure to be cinematic. michaelkors.com. E.V. MKC x 007 BOND leather duffel bag, $2,350.

HOT WHEELS A new book chronicles the glamorous but short-lived reign of a West Hollywood roller rink

M E N T S

T

here’s a photo from the book Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace (IDEA, $65) that sums up the legendary West Hollywood skating rink perfectly: a woman cruising by, midlaugh, naked as the day she was born — save for a pair of thigh-high stockings and, of course, roller skates. It says everything you need to know about how Flipper’s took the oncequaint pastime of skating and turned it into a libertine yet glamorous pursuit for out-allnight Angelenos.

Much like the dance floor at Studio 54, the rink at Flipper’s was a great equalizer.

It didn’t matter if you were a movie star, a Sunset Boulevard eccentric or Joe Schmoe looking to blow off some steam. All that mattered was your love of roller-skating.

Model Liberty Ross had a front-row seat to the action as the daughter of the rink’s

impresario, Ian “Flipper” Ross — who once said, “I really thought roller-skating was going to save the world.”

She has gathered stories and images as a way to commemorate the beloved venue, which burned bright but fast, open only for three years starting in 1979. The book pairs scandalous remembrances by the likes of Cher, Laura Dern and Arnold Schwarzenegger with lush photos of lightfooted hedonists taking part in the most debauched acts a person could perform on eight wheels. Together, they paint an impossibly rich portrait of the city in a glorious, hazy era — a golden age when pleasure-seeking was a full-time sport.

“We all need a respite away from social media and infinite scrolling,” Ross says.

“Flipper’s represents fun, freedom and vital community, and I’m passionate about continuing the story for a new generation.” 2

CHANGING GEAR Creative director Rocco Iannone gives new meaning to “off-duty” with his inaugural clothing collection for the storied Italian carmaker Ferrari. Boldly colored and cut bombers, parkas, shirts, trousers, dresses and other daywear designs join footwear, bags and sunglasses — complete ready-to-wear drops designed for life far beyond the racetrack — inside Ferrari’s new 2,200-square-foot Beverly Hills store. Iannone, whose previous employers include Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani and Pal Zileri, dreamed up seasonless looks defined by daring fabrics and photosensitive materials, and with a refreshingly gender-fluid bent.

“Ferraris have no gender; they’re not meant to be driven by one gender or the other,” explains Iannone. “I tried to convey this important aspect of our project, with the aim of including the younger generations and women in our narrative.”

Named for Milan’s storied 19th-century shopping arcade, Prada’s Galleria bag has been reinvented and embellished over the years since its launch.

This winter, it reemerges as a modern heirloom, dressed once more in its classic look. From the start, its shape evoked midcentury doctor’s bags, and the trademark textured Saffiano leather (devised by house founder Mario Prada) lent industrial precision to the elegant silhouette.

The scratch- and waterresistant calfskin, with its crosshatched surface texture, is a reminder of Prada’s pioneering of new materials — a through line over the past century from Mario to his granddaughter Miuccia.

Such elegant craftwork — the bag is still made by hand from 83 pieces — feels fresh this season: a polished melding of form and function that’s ideal for forging forward. prada.com. E.V.

SECOND TOME AROUND Tom Ford’s self-titled debut tome chronicled his prolific Gucci years, back when he was pumping out 16 collections a year. Now, on the 16th anniversary of his own brand, as well as his 60th birthday, Ford looks back on another remarkable period in his second book, Tom Ford 002 (Rizzoli New York, $135).

He opens up about everything: sobriety, marriage (sadly, his husband, Richard Buckley, passed away this fall), fatherhood, starting his brand and making two Oscar-nominated films. The images that ensue are classic Ford — an intoxicating array of glamour, sex and of course incredible clothing.

And yes, the title is a reference to 007; Ford designed all of Daniel Craig’s James Bond suits. K.M. The slipcased 444-page book features imagery of TOM FORD-clad celebrities and models.

From top: CAROLYN MURPHY (C's first cover star) in upcycled pieces from her MOTHER capsule collection. 60% MOTHER bucket hat, $115.

Vintage, rag house, dead stock and overstock converge in Mother’s 14-piece capsule created with model and environmental advocate Carolyn Murphy. Made in L.A. from dead stock and upcycled material, the looks (which benefit the Sierra Club) pay homage to staples such as patchwork quilts, bandannas and denim — and are an extension of the 60% Mother collection, which uses pre- and postconsumer overage and waste. Designs include a trucker jacket with quilt pieces, a reconstructed oxford shirt with an embroidered bird from a sketch of Murphy’s, denim dresses and a color-blocked sweatshirt. net-a-porter.com; motherdenim.com. E.V.

Twelve international artists are reinterpreting the Lady Dior handbag, reworking house motifs and even reimagining its hanging charms. The Dior Lady Art project’s exploration of the symbiosis between art and fashion relies on the bag’s silhouette to keep it identifiable throughout its transformations.

In this sixth edition of the project, Gisela Colón plays with optics, while Lina Iris Viktor uses her trademark palette of dimensional gold on ultra-saturated Afrofuturist background images. Equally inventive designs by Antonin Hako, Johan Creten, Manal Al Dowayan, Genieve Figgis, Gigisue, Daisuke Ohba, Zhang Huan, Leonhard Hurzlmeier, Yukimasa Ida and Li Songsong round out the collection. Each handcrafted bag is also outfitted with unique Dior charms, in a nod to the house’s founder. dior.com. E.V.

WHEN KIM MET KIM The transformative power of figure-sculpting fabric forms the core of a new wardrobe dreamed up by Fendi artistic director Kim Jones and Kim Kardashian West, the founder of Skims. Sketches from an archival 1979 Fendi collection, of twisted tube tops and tight sashes in bright colors — created during Karl Lagerfeld’s tenure at the Roman house — inspired the capsule collection of form-fitting designs.

Skin-tight dresses, knitwear, underwear, hosiery and recycled-nylon sportswear are emblazoned with a hybrid Fendi x Skims logo, accompanied by Peekaboo, Baguette Chain and Sunshine Shopper bags and Fendi footwear. fendiskims.com.

Helene Henderson’s farm-to-fork revolution is still growing

elene Henderson, the chef and owner of the flourishing Malibu Farm concept, is a creature of habit. Mornings begin with feeding her beloved animals on her plot of land on Point Dume. There’s the cat (“who is always starving no matter how much she is fed,” says Henderson), the dog (“who never eats the dog food, only waits to catch any cat-food leftovers”) and the feather-footed chickens. Past vegetable beds, fruit trees and beehives, she tosses grass hay to the goats (“they are extremely picky eaters as well, and try to escape so they can eat roses, fruit trees and grapevines instead”). All this happens before her chamomile tea, Wasa crispbread (a relic of her Swedish upbringing) and a little yogurt, after which she heads to her landmark restaurant and cafe on the Malibu Pier. There, she and her team serve breakfast, lunch and dinner to throngs of hungry surfers, sightseers and locals seven days a week.

Henderson inadvertently built an empire on classic dishes, organic local ingredients and old-fashioned hard work. Her latest book, Malibu Farm Sunrise to Sunset: Simple Recipes All Day (Clarkson Potter, $40), takes readers through a day of her signature preparations, from Surfers Rancheros to branzino fish tacos. In recent years, she has teamed up with Meir Teper, a longtime customer and a co-founder of the Nobu hospitality brand, on new Malibu Farm outposts at Nobu properties in New York, Los Cabos, Lanai and most recently Kanagawa, Japan (March 2020). Each location — including an independent Malibu Farm in Newport Beach’s Lido Marina Village — was designed by Malibu local Vanessa Alexander, and all overlook water. “We do want our locations to be experience based, but we would love to find a farm location, too,” says Henderson. In the meantime, she’s resurrected her popular Dinner in the Farm series, the first of which, this past fall, was held at Thorne Family Farm. “One of the main things we hope to do at Malibu Farm is to create a very inclusive environment,” she says.

The 130-person collective of farmers, trendsetters, surfers and artists bonded over shared platters of monkfish, curried broccoli and flower-filled salads. At Henderson’s table, there’s a seat for everyone — even the pickiest eaters. 23000 Pacific Coast Hwy., Malibu, 310-456-8850; malibu-farm.com. 2

A T E M BOULEVARD REBORN

E N T S

San Francisco favorite Boulevard reopened on its 28th anniversary with a new look from designer Ken Fulk, who has tweaked Pat Kuleto’s original Art Nouveau design with a mural of gilded peacocks over the new expanded blue-onyx bar. The format is new, too: Choose any three dishes (such as tagliatelle with king crab and long golden Cordyceps, or grilled short rib on a sauce of Spanish chestnut and chorizo) for $85 or four for $110, or order a la carte at the bar or no-reservations lounge. The sophisticated cocktail menu — including boulevardiers — was created by Greg Lindgren.

“People are eating lighter than they used to,” says chef and owner Nancy Oakes, “so we’ve focused less on meat. I’ve always wanted to cook what people wanted to eat more than what I wanted them to eat.” 1 Mission St., S.F., 415-543-6084; boulevardrestaurant.com. S.I.V.

HIGH TIMES With wraparound views of the hills — spanning the Hollywood sign, Griffith Observatory and the towers of Downtown Los Angeles — the Thompson Hollywood’s new rooftop lounge, Bar Lis, is the place to sip a cocktail en plein air and drink it all in. Inspired by the ’60s in the South of France, there are cypress trees, velvet banquettes and a fountain, to bring the Côte d’Azur to the city of stars. Check out the regular jazz nights and DJ sets, sip on a Jane Birkin cocktail (vodka, St. Germain, cucumber, mint and lime) and enjoy the sunset soiree. 1541 Wilcox Ave., L.A., 323-410-6210; barlisla.com. A.B.

IF YOU’RE NOT ON THE LIST… With no sign above the door and no photography allowed inside, Offsunset may be Los Angeles’ most exclusive party spot. The likes of Tom Holland, Kid Cudi and Malia Obama certainly seem to think so: Earlier this fall they were some of the first to attend this “friends and family” inviteonly lounge, with chandeliers to metaphorically swing from, booths to kick back inside and a bar that exudes Old Hollywood elegance. DJs and performers will be a surprise on the night but have already included Diplo and Benny Blanco. Offsunset comes from the creators of 1 OAK, Hyde, SLS Hotels, Katsuya and Greystone Manor. 8029 Sunset Blvd., L.A.; offsunsetla.com. A.B. OFFSUNSET is an exclusive new invite-only nightclub.

PRINT CLASH When two historic houses collide A little vandalism goes a long way for Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia, who personally spraypainted “This is not a Gucci bag” on a prototype tote meant to mimic the Florentine house’s GG diamond monogram canvas — save for swapping the expected letters to double Bs. The dialogue between the two brands first surfaced in April 2021, when Gucci’s Alessandro Michele debuted the Gucci Aria collection in a runway film, featuring looks riffing on Balenciaga house codes and silhouettes.

SANTA YNEZ GENERAL's new apparel location.

T A T E M SEASONAL UPGRADE

E N T S

From top: The newly renovated SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF ART. The Lansdowne Hermes.

MODERN REVIVAL For six years, a massive architectural project (not just COVID) has kept visitors from being able to experience everything the Santa Barbara Museum of Art has to offer. But finally the museum is fully open again, and eager to show off its $50 million renovation.

The wide-ranging structural upgrades may not be visible, but the renewed and expanded galleries showcase vibrant installations including a number of rarely — even never-before — exhibited pieces from the permanent collection, as well as pride of place, on a 6-foot pedestal, for the spectacular Lansdowne Hermes, back from a sojourn at The Getty Center.

New and revitalized spaces highlight pieces acquired during the renovation, many of them by Southern California artists, and the new Works on Paper Study Center serves double duty as a visitor encounter with conservation and a digitization program to vastly expand the museum’s online collection. 1130 State St., Santa Barbara, 805-963-4364; sbma.net. J.A.

Santa Ynez General now comprises two separate stores in Santa Barbara wine country. Founded in 2019 as a luxury design destination by Pearson and Spencer Turnbull (a fashion-industry veteran and an accomplished attorney), the shop recently relocated and expanded, introducing original artwork and antique European and contemporary furniture, to complement its firmly established and soughtafter regional aesthetic in the design-heavy realms of home goods and luxury personal accessories.

The original storefront, steps away, is now fully dedicated to apparel, serving as the exclusive California retailer for emerging global brands including thesalting and Blazé Milano, as well as a Central Coast source for brands including Esse and Matin Studio. 3558 and 3630 Sagunto St., Santa Ynez, 805-691-9947; santaynezgeneral.com. A.F.-S.

CHIC PEEKS Northern California-based photographer Leslie Williamson’s interior shots aren’t just pictures of rooms; they’re portraits of the people who once lived and worked in those rooms. In previous books, she’s explored these “soul spaces” created by midcentury designers and a range of California creatives. Now, with Still Lives: In the Homes of Artists, Great and Unsung (Rizzoli New York, $75), that same empathetic eye shows us the preserved homes and studios of 16 artists. The tour includes Georgia O’Keeffe’s New Mexico compound and the remote Kentish cottage of Derek Jarman, whose music-video work with The Smiths was a lasting aesthetic influence on Williamson. Each photo essay is accompanied by Williamson’s sensitive personal reflection on the artist, the experience of shooting their space and, when it’s particularly meaningful, the story of its preservation. J.A. In Still Lives, photographer LESLIE WILLIAMSON extends her series of interior portraiture to artists' spaces.

n case there was any doubt that adulthood is little more than an illusion — a scam perpetrated by parents on their credulous children — we can thank Sydney Sweeney and her expanding repertoire of on-screen teenagers for making the truth painfully clear. “As a kid, you think grown-ups are superheroes,” she says. “They’re not.”

On a crisp afternoon in October, Sweeney and I are sitting at a quiet outdoor table at the Glen Centre, a collection of shops and restaurants at the crest of Bel Air that is a midday oasis for the perpetually underscheduled but also a favorite pit stop for this dizzyingly busy young actor.

Sweeney spent her teenage years bouncing among towns in the San Fernando Valley but didn’t discover this place until she got her first apartment in Los Angeles and started ducking back over the ridge to visit her family. The Beverly Glen Deli is now her weekend go-to.

As Olivia Mossbacher, the smug and smirking daughter on The White Lotus, Sweeney excelled at quiet judgment: Olivia sits by the pool, alternating between her Portable Nietzsche and her portable phone, but with a side-eye trained on the mischief swirling about her. She is a pillar of calculating quietude, and if you found her chilling, you weren’t alone. “A lot of people were terrified of me after Olivia, which I thought was hilarious, because I was scared of her myself,” Sweeney explains. “Those are the girls that scared me in high school and still do.”

In Euphoria, which returns to HBO for its second season in January, Sweeney plays Cassie Howard, a teenager who uses her body, often recklessly, to control the boys in her orbit. And who can blame her? Her father is an addict who has disappeared from her life, while her mother swans about the dark house, drunk and boundaryless.

“I think that’s why Euphoria has had such a big audience — because no one, at any age, has figured life out,” Sweeney suggests.

“Everyone’s still trying to find themselves.

Everyone’s trying to get their shit together.”

A few days before our meeting, Frances Haugen testified to a Senate subcommittee about the potentially noxious effects of social media on teenage girls; it’s something that Sweeney, 24, has thought a lot about. After all, social media has been jostling the tectonic

72

plates of Hollywood for a decade, and there are new rules controlling Generation Z’s new stars. “It’s a back-and-forth battle,” Sweeney explains. “It’s amazing to learn about things from all over the world, to connect with so many different people. But it can be an unhealthy place where you get yourself down a deep, dark hole of filters and body dysmorphia and jealousy.”

But Sweeney, who has a production company of her own and is halfway through a bachelor’s degree in business, believes that it would be naive to underestimate Silicon Valley’s grip on her industry. “It’s all numbers,” she says of Hollywood. “And a lot of it is the numbers generated by tech companies. I didn’t grow up in the Jennifer Aniston time, where you could have syndication, residuals, box office, back-end deals. I’m in some of the biggest projects, but we don’t make the money that stars used to. I need the branding space. It’s such a difficult balance. I don’t treat social media the way I would if I were an influencer — I look at it more as a platform for my acting, with a little bit of Syd mixed in there — but in return I don’t get as many endorsement opportunities because my numbers aren’t as high. So should I lean more into it, like the TikTok stars? Then I’m not taken as seriously as an actress.”

Sweeney was born in Spokane, Wash., and spent her childhood a few miles east, in a cabin by a lake in northern Idaho that has been in her family for five generations.

Apart from the mountainous beauty of her surroundings, it was a quintessential American childhood, in a town two blocks long, with a church, three bars and a grocery store. She recalls it as the kind of place where you marry your high school sweetheart and move down the street from your parents. “I grew up looking at my family and friends and their parents, and they literally lived one life,” she says. “I couldn’t imagine that.”

She was not a child who appeared destined for Hollywood. Shy and awkward, uncomfortable in her body, Sweeney avoided the stage. But at home she had a rich imaginary world that provided a refuge from the sense of inevitability that her upbringing offered. She pretended she was a special agent, tasked with saving the world, or a princess cheetah. On her play set in the forest, she was a teacher instructing a class of insects she had collected. “I kept myself

entertained,” she remembers.

Quietly, Sweeney yearned to be in movies.

And when she was 12, a small indie zombie picture came to town and held auditions. She had seen the presentations her father made as a pharmaceutical sales rep, so she decided to present her parents with a five-year business plan for her own career, beginning with that zombie movie. “They were like, fine, let’s let her audition, and maybe she’ll be quiet,” Sweeney remembers. She got the part.

And before long, she and her parents were regularly driving 19 hours to Los Angeles for auditions, turning around and driving back without stopping at a hotel to rest. They met other kids and their parents who had the same routine, and these families became their closest friends. When Sweeney was 13, her family relocated to the Valley.

In the beginning, the roles were few and far between. Sweeney estimates that she landed one part in 100 auditions. Her family was pressed to the limit financially; there was a year when they had to move into a motel in Burbank. “My mom, my dad, my brother and I were in a regular one-bedroom hotel room for nine months,” she remembers. “I was 16 — not the year when you want to be living in a hotel, sharing a bed with your mom.” Her parents divorced shortly afterward. “There was a period there where my parents tried to shield me as much as possible from the pain and the financial stress. They didn’t explain things to me, and that made me angry. So I acted out, but not in the way you would think.

I was a straight-A student in all AP classes. I was valedictorian. I never went to a high school party. I’ve never done drugs, to this day. The acting-out Syd tried to find love through boys.

I got myself into sometimes really unfortunate and even dangerous relationships.”

When Sweeney was 18, her career took off.

She booked Everything Sucks!, a Netflix high school dramedy, and Sharp Objects, in which she played Amy Adams’ character’s teenage roommate at a psychiatric hospital. The roles have poured forth since then, from the martyred child bride Eden Blaine in season two of The Handmaid’s Tale to Snake, one of Charles Manson’s acolytes at Spahn Ranch, in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Teens navigating their dystopias remains her bailiwick.

And though she is no longer a teenager, Sweeney is not quite ready to quit her celluloid adolescence. “I have the financial

responsibilities of a full-blown adult, but at work I’m in a high school hallway on set,” she says. “It definitely plays with your mind.

People say, ‘I can’t believe she’s still playing a teenager.’ But older always plays younger.

Thirty-year-olds are always going to play 25. I go out and audition for 20-year-old projects, and they say I’m too young! Admittedly, I still feel like I’m a teenager sometimes. My own high school years were not a normal experience. I never went to a football game or a dance. There was a year when I missed 117 days of school. There’s a part of me that doesn’t want to stop playing high schoolers until I’ve lived all the high school experiences that I want to. It’s like my own therapy for myself.”

Of all her characters, it is Euphoria’s Cassie with whom Sweeney identifies most strongly.

“Being able to love yourself before allowing anyone else to love you — that’s where true happiness and healthiness comes from, and it’s a part of my own life that I wish I could go back to,” she says. The show’s new season offers no less bleak a look at suburban coming of age, fueled as ever by sex and drugs. “It’s a darker look into the psyches of teenagers, more raw and dirty than the first season. Cassie, unfortunately, is still looking for approval, and she’s willing to ruin all the relationships that are important to her because she wants love so much.” For parents who are still wringing their hands over the show’s hypnotizing but disturbing first season, there is no antidote here. “The writers didn’t take their feet off the gas. In fact, there’s a whole new pedal they’ve added, and they’re pressing it even harder.”

The car metaphor feels apt, considering that Sweeney, when she is not on the Euphoria set, has been hard at work restoring a 1969 Ford Bronco that she won at an online auction during the doldrums of the pandemic. A family friend named Rod Emory (his son was one of those kids on the audition circuit) is a noted restorer and customizer of antique Porsches, and he gave Sweeney a berth in his North Hollywood shop. Under his tutelage, she recently finished her truck’s transmission, brakes and suspension, and she is now moving on to the interior. She also just bought a baby-blue 1965 Mustang and is plotting a few tweaks. “I never feel more at home than when I go to the shop,” she says.

“It’s therapy for me.” Continued on p.119

n a recent golden autumn afternoon, Ivy Love Getty is sitting barefoot on a tufted silk velvet sofa in the living room of her family home overlooking San Francisco Bay. She’s accompanied by her fiancé, aspiring film director Toby Engel, and their rescue dog Blue, a winsome Chihuahua/terrier mix.

Ivy’s vivid turquoise eyes, which have captivated over 80,000 followers across all social media platforms, glance around the room: to the gilded chandelier; impressionist paintings by Matisse and Degas, Renoir and Cézanne; and a lyrical group of delicate Chinese porcelain and carved rock crystal arrayed on a 1740 rococo giltwood chest.

This is where she grew up, among the rare collections and haute decor of her grandmother, the late Ann Getty, who for over 50 years reigned as the queen of San Francisco society. Admired for her international philanthropy and support of the arts, Ann was a noted collector of fine, rare English and French antiques of the late 18th century. (Her husband Gordon, Ivy’s grandfather, is an opera composer of note and a highly successful vintner in the Napa Valley.) Twenty-one years ago, Ann founded her interior-design firm, Ann Getty and Associates, and created these dramatic rooms.

“Toby and I have lived so many places, and our friends are a very eclectic group” IVY GETTY

Ivy Getty The San Francisco home is a 1918 BeauxArts confection by architect Willis Polk, with embellished rooms of palazzo-esque splendor and beauty. Twilight sends shimmers of gold from jeweled Russian chandeliers and enhances the glow of Canaletto paintings of Venice’s Grand Canal. In the dining room, a gilt-bronze chest from the period of Louis XIV stands opposite a mirrored cabinet once owned by a Medici pope.

As of the time of this writing, Ivy and Toby are planning to hold their wedding reception here, after a ceremony in fall 2021 in the splendor of San Francisco City Hall. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a lifelong family friend, was an obvious choice to officiate, and a 400-strong crowd of international friends and family are invited.

“Toby and I have lived in so many places, and our friends are a very eclectic group, so we loved the idea of having them all meet at our San Francisco home,” says Ivy. Her dramatic and daring couture wedding

gown was designed by John Galliano of Maison Margiela Atelier. “I’ve been obsessed with John Galliano forever, and it was a dream come true to meet him,” says the bride, who was introduced by her glamorous aunt, Vanessa Getty, a longtime fan of the former Dior creative director.

“We first met at his studio in Paris to discuss my gown, and he listened to my dreams and made a few quiet comments,” says Ivy. “He is so cool and so humble with ideas and inspirations. The gown and the embellishment perhaps will be a bit shocking to some guests. I love it.”

“Working on her wedding dress and her reception gown brought Ivy and me so close,” says Vanessa. “The gown is a creative masterpiece. Mr. Galliano wove aspects of Ivy’s history into the design. It’s very personal. There’s the rock ’n’ roll aspect of Ivy’s father John, and in the veil a tribute to Ann’s family heritage in California. [So] Ann

and John will be close to Ivy as she says her vows.” Ivy’s father John, who died just weeks after Ann in 2020, was a handsome, charming man of great wit and style, and a musician.

His signature: superbly tailored Savile Row jackets given a jolt of Jagger-esque cool with cowboy boots and jewellike velvet scarves.

Toby and Ivy’s life together over the last two years has been low-key even as Ivy launched her modeling career with Ford Models. After attending Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, Ivy headed to New York and modeled for talented young designer friends to build her portfolio.

As the world turned upside down, the couple retreated last year to the lush green splendor of the Surrey countryside, to Toby’s mother’s house. On spring break in Capri, Toby proposed to her; the bold and sparkling ring was made with a large, oval, intensely hued sapphire from his mother encircled by 10 large diamonds from an antique necklace that was a gift to Ivy from Ann. Recently, the couple spent some blissful months in Paris. They rented a tiny apartment in a historic corner of the Marais among art galleries, hip boutiques and dynamic new creative fashion designers.

“We loved exploring our neighborhood and obscure corners of the city by electric scooter,” says Toby. “The two of us, Ivy in the front, navigating and speeding through Paris.

I would stand on the back, tightly clasping her, and always ready to catch her if anything threatened our balance. So romantic.”

Now the couple is focused on setting up home in their recently acquired Lower Manhattan penthouse, in the heart of NoHo, which Ann had started decorating for them before she passed. (They also have an apartment in London, to stay close to the Getty and Engel clans across the pond.)

There’s a focus on eco-materials, low-key decor and the comfort and sense of home required by the young jet-set pair. The rooms are now being completed by Maria Quiros of Ann Getty and Associates, according to a concept Ivy describes as “casual and versatile, respectful of the planet, personal.”

“Ivy has inherited so many wonderful qualities from Ann, like her love of family, and her fashion style,” says Jo Schuman, her godmother and Ann’s best friend. “Education was very important to Ann, so each year she planned educational trips for Ivy and her school friends. They would take the Getty

Ann, a couture collector, also introduced Ivy to her world of Oscar de la Renta and Valentino, and Paris couture. In October, Ivy attended Paris Fashion Week, where collections from Valentino, Giambattista Valli, Saint Laurent, MiuMiu and Prada caught her eye.

“I collect vintage fashions, and especially love YSL by Yves Saint Laurent himself, and I love to wear vintage Pucci, and Galliano for Dior,” she says. “My style is a mix of my dad’s rock-star style and classicism from my grandmother.

In fashion I’m traditional and experimental. I always look for new fashions among womenowned companies. Before I wear something new, I select carefully.”

Posting often on Instagram, Ivy is hyper-aware of her look and her self-expression. “Sometimes I think my grandmother would love my style now,” she muses as she cuddles and kisses Blue. “I’m very focused on making all the right decisions and having less impact on our planet.

It’s important to think about our future now that we are considering having children.”

“Ivy has a bright future,” observes Denise Hale, a family friend for over 50 years. “She will always be very much a Getty. And she will do great things, just the way Ann did. I wish her and Toby many years of happiness.” X

According to its organizers, the Gala owes much of its success to the city in which it is situated. Los Angeles may be globally recognized for its movie industry, but its power base really becomes clear when you consider the broader arts and creative community. “LA is home to more artists, I think, than any other city on earth,” Govan says. “It’s increasingly known as one of the greatest centers for the visual arts of all kinds. Bringing the art and film communities together and recognizing the big picture of the creative energy of Los Angeles is the purpose of this event. Not only has it raised significant funds for our art and film programming, but it’s brought people together.”

In an annual demonstration of this camaraderie, the Gala honors a visual artist and a filmmaker simultaneously: past recipients include artists Betye Saar, Catherine Opie, Mark Bradford, Robert Irwin, James Turrell, Barbara Kruger, David Hockney, Ed Ruscha and the late

She’s the star of this year’s cult hit Zola, and her performance opposite Riley Keough in the travel tale gone badly awry, based on a viral Twitter thread, is generating awards buzz. “I’m naturally attracted to being comfortable and able to move, but I newly kind of embrace feeling sexy and feminine in subtle ways that include texture and shapes,” says the 31-year-old L.A. native. She plays the film’s title character, a stripper who gets invited on a trip to Tampa to dance and finds herself increasingly in peril.

Paige — who trained with dancer and choreographer Debbie Allen before embarking on a film career that includes a breakout performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and the forthcoming Mack & Rita with Diane Keaton, Lena Dunham’s Sharp Stick and The Toxic Avenger — credits her personal style to a sprawling range of influences and eras, plus costumers Avery Plewes and two-time Oscar winner Ann Roth.

Travel MILLIKEN CREEK INN, NAPA This historic inn started life in the mid-1850s, when travelers during the Gold and Silver Rush would make a rest stop by this clean and accessible stretch of the Napa River along the Silverado Trail. Around the end of that century, horticulturst Ira McKenzie took up residence and planted the saplings of the Japanese maples, live oaks and magnolias which now tower over the main house’s gables and chimney. The trees mingle with the ferns and other shrubs in the lush, almost Edenic gardens, with a lawn leading right up to the bank of the river where you can lie on a lounger and blissfully watch the waters flow on by.

It wasn’t until 1980 that the house returned to its roots as an inn. It was eventually renamed Milliken Creek Inn, and in 2013 it became part of the Four Sisters Inns collection. Fresh from a renovation this year, all rooms now boast king beds, the majority with luxury linens, fireplaces, deep soaking tubs and private decks with firepits — some overlooking the river. No spot is better for a made-to-order breakfast in bed; it comes complimentary, as do freshly baked cookies, and s’mores kits for some late-night indulgence under the stars.

Many of the herbs and botanicals used in the treatments are grown on the verdant 10-acre property, including passionflower, lavender and sage.

As for the inn itself, the 25 rooms and suites are rustic-modern, many with four-poster beds, stone fireplaces and jet tubs, and some even have their own private sauna and balconies.

SKIN DEEP The race for postlockdown procedures such as the deepplane face-lift is on. Just ask Marc Jacobs

D

uring the 2020 lockdowns, many joked about it being the perfect time for a nip and tuck without the fear of being “found out.” But R like most things, elective surgeries were canceled — just as much of the population I transitioned to virtual life and began staring at themselves on-screen for hours a day. Almost two years later, E with restrictions easing across the U.S., the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that pent-up demand is fueling the industry’s current surge, with interest in both non-surgical and S surgical treatments increasing; call it the Zoom boom.

Today’s potential clients base isn’t playing around — they know what they want. They’ve gone down the Instagram rabbit hole, studying the proliferation of doctor accounts. “I love looking at them and seeing the time, precision and true artistic talent that goes into it,” says Kirbie Johnson, cohost and producer of the California-based beauty podcast Gloss Angeles.

“Instagram is a business card of sorts. If someone gets a recommendation, they’ll scroll through [the surgeon’s] Instagram for before and after images to decide if it’s worth a consult.”

Riding the social media wave is the deep-plane D R . R A M I B AT N I J I face-lift. Introduced in the

E

“Once, no one talked about plastic surgery.

Now they speak of it openly”

1990s, it’s named for the fact that it targets a deeper layer of facial muscles and structures than in a standard face-lift. The operation is now popular with a whole new audience, in part due to fashion designer Marc Jacobs, who made his surgery Instagram-official this summer by uploading a postop selfie, tagging his surgeon @DrJacono and captioning it “#f*ckgravity #livelovelift.” “Once, no one talked about plastic surgery. Now, people speak of it openly. Having Marc Jacobs show pictures and videos of his journey demystifies facial plastic surgery, opening the conversation for others,” says Southern California-based Dr. Rami Batniji (drbatniji.com), a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and an expert in the deep-plane face-lift.

What is this procedure that’s giving face-lifts a PR makeover?

“In one surgery you can restore volume, reposition jowls, remove buccal fat, add volume to the jawbone, reposition, lift and volumize cheek tissue, address skin laxity and treat under-chin fullness,” says Batniji, who performs up to 30 deep-plane facelifts per month. “Traditional face-lifts used to reposition skin only, which caused the dreaded ‘windblown’ look, but the deepplane technique repositions the skin and deeper tissues (muscles and fat pads) as one unit in a vertical/upward direction to restore the cheek tissues in a more youthful position, reclaiming the more youthful cheek volume as well as refining the jawline and neckline.” Recovery includes two weeks of social downtime, and a month before physical activity can resume.

While Instagram gives doctors a place to showcase their work, it doesn’t take the place of exercising due diligence when you’re choosing a doctor. Batniji suggests, “Seek out surgeons who are board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and have dedicated their career to facial plastic surgery. Look at before and after pictures, and speak with previous patients.” It’s also important to find out where the surgery will be performed, and whether a board-certified anesthesiologist will be present to monitor anesthesia. 2

Because her old shyness persists, you will never see her at a night club. “I’m the one in the comfy sweater at an early dinner at Nobu or Jon & Vinny’s, before the crazy crowd gets there,” she says. Sweeney prefers to remain mum about romance, but a beaming smile at the question suggests that she is contented. “I never talk about it, but I have a very healthy, very steady personal life.”

In the wake of The White Lotus and with the approach of Euphoria, Sweeney is bracing for a flush of fame that she has not known before. “Being more recognizable creates a little of that social anxiety,” she says. “I get nervous that I’ll disappoint people: Am I not going to be what they expect me to be or want me to be?” She’s stockpiled the baseball hats and sunglasses, but there’s no armor against the sting of online commentary from those who have forgotten that Cassie isn’t Syd, and Syd isn’t Cassie. In such moments, she gives herself the same advice she’d have for her character, or for her 17-year-old self: “You don’t need validation from anyone else. Just you.” X

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LACMA ART+FILM both exhibitions, like the Gala, are partially sponsored by Gucci.

“It’s a pleasure to be honored together with Steven and Kehinde for our shared interest in storytelling, and in telling American stories,” Sherald says, “especially in Los Angeles, a city I admire as a place where images come to life, a place with a longstanding history of creativity and culture. As a locus for representing American ideas to American people and to the world, Los Angeles is synonymous with the national imagination, something I continue to engage within the realist tradition, expanding who is made visible, whose voices are heard and seen.”

While the Gala is a famously welldocumented event, whose red carpet is pored over and disseminated by various international publications, Govan says that it hasn’t always been easy to get equal attention for those visual artists whose work often eclipses their persona. “The first year of the event [2011], I remember almost all of the photographs were of the ubiquitous celebrities of L.A. Many of my friends noticed how lopsided the coverage was. The event was supposed to be about art too. I realized a lot of my artist friends just skipped the red carpet, and most of the photographers didn’t know the artists by person.” LACMA has since addressed that situation by making short films about each artist it honors, asking artists to be photographed and preparing event press ahead of time. “I hope we’ve made everyone at the event feel like a celebrity of our creative work together in this community,” says Govan. At least one night a year, everyone gets the Hollywood treatment for a night out at the museum. X

In space tourism-ready cruise looks

by Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s women’s collections, Paige got a first look at such Objets as the Campana brothers’ enveloping Bulbo chair, as well as a standing, hanging plant structure designed by Damien LangloisMeurinne and Atelier Biagetti’s wave-like Anemona table. In near perpetual motion since Zola, Paige calls her current phase a “gear shift.” She missed the Zola premiere while shooting The Toxic Avenger in Bulgaria, saying, “I used to dream of having options and possibility.” Now, she says, conversations are wildly different. “Life has changed in the way that I feel available to the next phase,” she confesses. Ghesquière’s uplifting and forward-leaning collection arrived at just the right moment for Paige. “I only recently allowed myself to lean into the idea of life being the very occasion to dress up, and not waiting for some event,” she says. “The event is now!” X
