AS YOU DIVE into this issue just weeks into a new year, I’ll be in Paris at the couture collections. It’s fitting, seeing as an exciting exhibition dedicated to Harper’s Bazaar will be unveiled at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in a little over a month’s time. On February 28, to celebrate the reopening of its fashion galleries after a renovation sponsored by Christine and Stephen A. Schwarzman, the museum will host “First in Fashion,” a retrospective on Bazaar’s history, dating back to its founding in 1867. In our feature on the exhibition, starting on page 144, we look at some of the “firsts” that made Bazaar so groundbreaking. Bazaar was America’s first modern fashion magazine. Its first editor, Mary Louise Booth, was a suffragist, and the publication was among the first to advocate for the right to vote for women. Bazaar was also the first magazine to explore fashion within the larger context of creativity and culture, the first to take fashion photography out of the studio and into real settings, and the first to showcase bikinis and denim.The exhibition is a dream. My enormous thanks to Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Sylvie Corréard, Olivier Gabet, Jérôme Recours, Éric Pujalet-Plàa, Marianne Le Galliard, Adrien Gardère, and the entire team at MAD for making it so fabulous. Putting together this issue also made me recall one of my own Bazaar firsts: My first issue as editor in chief was November 2001, which, like this one, featured Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover. As we were sending the issue to the printer that September, the attacks of 9/11 occurred. The world changed on that day, but it made me as committed then as I am now to making a magazine that celebrates optimism and possibility. As Gwyneth once put it, “Bazaar addresses the many phases of a woman’s life and the many roles we play.” I couldn’t agree more.

IN THE REALM of fashion, spring cleaning is important, but so is spring planning. A new season is upon us, and choices abound. To help you put your best foot forward, we present our annual spring fashion preview, which breaks down all of the need-to-know trends. Runway Report clues you in to what’s set to dominate (page 78), while prismatic floral dresses (page 104) and graphic black and white looks (page 112) prove that there’s something for everyone on the style spectrum. Elsewhere, our cover star, Gwyneth Paltrow, makes a splash and opens up about love, Goop, and her public image (page 122). Priyanka Chopra Jonas gives us a rundown of her typical day (page 72); Molly Ringwald explores what it means to be unforgettable (page 98); and in celebration of Black History Month, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Zadie Smith each write about a trailblazing creative talent worth watching (page 136). Also in the issue, The Handmaid’s Tale’s Elisabeth Moss discusses her nightmare of a new horror movie and her singular career (page 132); and Anya Taylor-Joy, star of the latest adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma, talks to Clueless writer-director Amy Heckerling about the enduring power of one of Austen’s most beloved and complicated characters (page 140). It’s a new decade and a new moment filled with lots of great Louis Vuitton fashion and even more possibilities. Let the games brooch. begin. Enjoy the issue. ■ louisvuitton.com. 32

The actress and producer shares her day
million unread e-mails breakfasts unfinished memoir
Diana, usually wakes me up. She’s so jet-lagged right now because she’s been traveling with me. I can hear her nails on the floor as she walks around the room—I’m a very light sleeper. Nick [Jonas, her husband] isn’t like that at all. He doesn’t wake up. It’s really annoying! So I have to spend some time giving Diana attention, and then we both go back to sleep for a few more hours. I love to sleep. 7:30 A.M. The first thing I do in the morning is put on music. My life has always been pretty musical, and now with Nick it’s completely musical. I decided to date him after seeing the video for “Close,” where his shirt comes off. So that song is my favorite. But I don’t like playing music on my phone; I have to have a JBL speaker to really hear it. I’ll blast Top 40 radio while I’m getting ready. 8:00 A.M. I’m more spiritual than religious, but I am Hindu, so I have a little shrine with incense that I carry wherever I go. When I first moved to Mumbai at 17, I lived with my best friend. She always did a morning prayer. I was like, “Oh, my mom does this,” and you never want to emulate your parents, right? But she made me realize that this is a great way to start the day with some positivity. I say a few Hindu mantras, which are basically just saying “thank you” to the world. It’s a way to reflect and be grateful. 8:30 A.M. I’m not a big makeup person when I’m not working—just mascara, tinted lip balm, and a little bit of a cheek situation. I like Marc Jacobs mascara because it’s black as hell—it really shows up. As for hair, ha! I can’t do hair. I either have it done by a professional or it’s in a topknot. 9:00 A.M. We have a Nespresso machine, so I make espresso. That’s what I call my “first breakfast.” Then, when I’m in New York, my assisPriyanka Chopra tant comes by with my “second breakfast,” a Sweetgreen bowl—scrambled eggs, Jonas in veggies, and farrow. And then … I mean, I should work out. I have every intenNew York tion to. But every day it’s like, “I’ll do it tomorrow, I’ll do it tomorrow.” And then tomorrow never comes. It’s the Samuel Beckett version of working out. 10:00 A.M. I need to know what’s happening in the world before I can do anything. I get The New York Times, the New York Post, and The Times of India delivered to the house, and I also read BBC’s Web site. 11:00 A.M. I like to get work done on my phone, but I hate e-mails. Why do people respond with “Ok” or “Take care,” and not tell you anything useful? I can’t handle it. I have almost three million unread e-mails on my phone. It’s a party trick; I’ll show people my home screen. You can’t even see all the numbers on the little mail icon—there are too many! If people need to reach me, they know to text or call. I also check Instagram but not my own account ➤

or messages. It’s more to see what’s happening. I had a Google alert on my name when it first started, but it got to be way too much. Now it’s only if I have a movie coming out or I need to know what’s the chatter. But I don’t Google myself, and I don’t Google Nick. There’s so much information about us—it’s overwhelming. 1:00 P.M. Because I travel With husband so much, when I’m home I like to work out of my house.That means Nick Jonas at the Cannes meetings with my team are usually at my place. My team is rather Film Festival, large, and mostly women, and there are many conflicting opinions, which May 2019 I encourage! So there’s a lot of discussion about future projects, and there’s a lot of food—always. I’ll have a charcuterie board. I’ll have sandwiches made, but I only eat them if they have Indian pickles on them. This is not a cucumber pickle; it’s like a pickled chili or a pickled mango. When relatives come to visit, they bring me some—homemade! I like them in a cheese sandwich, because to me it’s a mash-up of my worlds, you know? 3:00 P.M. I’m meant to be writing a book. It’s called Unfinished, but it’s also literally unfinished because my life’s been so crazy. It takes a lot of introspection on my part because it’s a memoir of my last 20 years in entertainment, so I like to sit on my couch or lie down on my bed with a journal or a piece of paper. I need a pen and paper to think. 5:00 P.M. I try to walk Diana around the neighborhood, but sometimes she just wants to be carried. Don’t we all? 7:00 P.M. Nick and I are not cookers, but we love to eat. Fortunately, a lot of people in my family love to cook, or one of our friends wants to cook, or we’ll bring in a chef. There’s a playlist I found online called “Cooking Italian dinner” (I’m serious!), and we like to blast it when we’re having pasta. 9:00 P.M. Our house is for our family and friends. We love having them over, and we just want them to be comfortable. I’m usually barefoot—I love the way my feet feel on the cool marble floors—and we get movie screeners sent to us, so we host a lot of movie nights. I hate watching movies I’m in; all I see are the faults. But I’m happy to watch Nick’s. I’ve never seen Camp Rock, and everyone makes fun of me about that, so maybe soon we’ll have a Camp Rock viewing party. I bet it will be great. 11:00 P.M. We play a lot of music before bed. Nick and I didn’t really know that much about each other’s careers before we came into each other’s lives. So we used to do a show-and-tell at night where it would be like, “This is my first song!” or “This is my first movie!” or “This is the first song I wrote myself,” things like that. And actually that’s how we’re still getting to know each other. 12:00 A.M. I have to go to sleep in complete darkness, with no noise; otherwise I’ll stay up all night. I’ll binge-watch Queer Eye. I’ll call my mom or a friend or Nick, if one of us is traveling. But if we’re home, I love to sleep. As told to Faran Krentcil

THE SEARCH for the right bra can sometimes feel like a mission impossible, with uncomfortable pinching and unsightly bulging almost expected parts of the process. But as stylist Simone Harouche explains, it all comes down to knowing which styles work for your body type and how to achieve a proper fit. As a cofounder of the KiT Undergarments, which launched last fall and offers an inclusive range of insider styles like convertible bras and an adhesive thong, she’s an expert on the matter. “Even if you think you’re a 32B, your size can fluctuate with different brands and different cuts,” says Harouche, who dresses the Kardashian sisters and Demi Lovato. “I always allow for wiggle room with bra sizes specifically because underwire shapes are really different: A demi underwire is narrower than a balconette underwire, so depending on your breast and body type you may need to size up in certain styles.” Use your number-letter combination as a guide, and adjust the size based on fit from there.

BRA SIZE “Wrap a measuring tape directly under your bust
and add three inches. If you measure 29 inches, you’re a size 32 band,” says Jamie Mizrahi, the KiT’s other half and stylist to Katy Perry and Kate Upton.“For cup size, tightly measure around your fullest point, then subtract your band size—1 is an A cup, 2 is a B cup, 3 is a C cup, and so on.” BAND FIT To assess fit, first make sure that the bra band sits right under your breasts and stays evenly in place; it shouldn’t ride up in the back. “Larger breasts require more support, so wider bands help with that,” says Mizrahi. UNDERWIRE FIT “The underwire should lie flat against your chest. If the bra bridge is lifting up, that’s a sign that the cups don’t fit or you have the wrong band width,” Harouche says. PRO TIP “Put one of your hands behind your back and try sticking your fingers underneath the band,” explains Harouche. “If you can fit two or three fingers through, it means the bra is too big.” Ariana Marsh

How to look leaner—and gain motivation—in less than two weeks. By Jessica Matlin SOMETIMES the scariest thing is getting started. If you’ve ever embarked on a new diet or fitness routine—and post-holidays it’s practically a tradition—you can feel defeated before day one. Rather than look at the next few months as a painful slog, just think about the next 10 days. “You can start establishing real habits in that time,” says Julie Wandzilak, a personal trainer for Equinox. Here, experts reveal their top ways to get yourself motivated and make lasting changes in your body.
STAY OUT OF THE GYM
If you haven’t worked out in a while, start slowly. “I don’t even let my [sedentary] clients into the gym for the first month,” says celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. Instead he has them get a Fitbit to track their daily step goals. By the fifth day they should be taking up to 12,000 steps a day.Though it’s hardly CrossFit, “the greatest transformations I’ve ever been a part of are heavily based on walking,” he says. “If your destination is less than a half-mile away, walk,” adds Wandzilak.“And if there are stairs, take them.” When Pasternak took a year off to study the 10 healthiest countries, he found that the people there all had something in common: They walked far more than Americans (who average 4,000 steps a day). While you can strength and tone at the gym, “you get lean in life,” Pasternak says.
of the Class. “I love songs that swell and crescendo because they have the power to create endorphins.” Play them in your office, kitchen, and even the bathroom. The idea is to just move your body, she says. “It will get rid of that heavy energy that can slow your progress.”
TRY A NEW CLASS
A lot of boutique fitness studios are intimidating. (SoulCycle obsessives refer to themselves as “warriors” who are part of a “tribe.”) Don’t let that kind of talk trip you out, says Vanessa Packer, founder of ModelFit, known for its popular dance-cardio classes.“People tell me they want to try my workouts but have to get in shape first,” she says. “That’s crazy!” Any smart studio is designed to accommodate all levels, says Wandzilak. If you feel self-conscious, consider chatting with someone at the front desk about the best starter classes, or arrive a little early for a class to introduce yourself to the instructor and explain where you are fitness-wise. And check out his or her social media; it will give you a sense of how the classes are run.
THINK BEYOND NUMBERS
If you’re looking to measure success, stepping on the scale can ultimately just discourage you. “It becomes a burden, and often causes people to give up and actually gain more weight,” Packer says. Instead focus on making small, positive steps toward your goal.“It could be that you’re going Speaking of lo-fi workouts, one of the quickest and most to get up early on Saturday and go for a run, or that you effective ways to get in shape? “Jumping rope!” says Wand- eat salad rather than pasta that night,” she says. These zilak. “As we age, muscle tissue elasticity and coordination habits have a way of compounding.“There are studies that decline,” she says. Jumping show that when you mark somerope a few times a week asthing as completed for the day, THE GYM-FREE WORKOUT sists in breathing efficiency, it gives you a feeling of real pride,” Toning takes time, but there are a couple of new posture, cardiovascular health, says Wandzilak. “That success cheats.

that can’t be achieved at the gym. While each is designed to sculpt the abs and buttocks, Emsculpt has just released a small applicator that also treats biceps, triceps, and calves. (It can also destroy some fat in the process.) After four 30-minute sessions over two weeks ($3,000–$4,000 per package), these treatments are shown to increase muscle mass by 15 to 20 percent. Even so, remember that they’re a complement to a fitness routine, not a replacement.
GET MORE FIBER
“It couldn’t be less sexy, but fiber is the secret to weight loss,” says dietitian Tanya Zuckerbrot, creator of the F-Factor Diet, which is
centered on the nutrient. The beauty of fiber is that it’s indigestible, she says.“Your body actually expends calories trying to break it down, so the more fiber you eat, the faster your metabolism.” Also, fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains tend to keep you satisfied, eliminating snacking. Just be sure to drink plenty of water, cautions Zuckerbrot.“It causes the fiber to swell and stretch your stomach, signaling to the brain that you’re full.” The combination of water and fiber also helps with evacuation. “It’s nature’s detox.” Aim for 35 grams daily—most of us get less than half that. In a study in which women doubled their fiber intake, they absorbed 90 fewer calories per day. That translates to about 10 pounds a year, she says.
EAT BREAKFAST
There’s been a ton of buzz about intermittent fasting, when you eat only during an eight-hour period each day. While it may cause you to lose pounds at the start, “so does the grapefruit diet,” says Zuckerbrot.“Diets like that work because they restrict calories, but they’re not a realistic solution.” A better alternative is to eat a breakfast that combines protein and fiber (e.g., Greek yogurt with berries)—you’ll jump-start your metabolism for the rest of the day.

It’s true: “Cutting sugar is one of the fastest ways to lose weight,” Pasternak says. “Glucose crosses the blood-brain barrier, boosting your mood and energy for a second, but then you just want more.” He recently developed Sweetkick, a plant-based breath mint that attaches to the sugar receptors in your mouth, suppressing the taste of sweetness. “It stops your brain from releasing serotonin, the happy hormone associated with sugar consumption,” he explains. Zuckerbrot’s strategy? “Treat yourself to a glass of wine while others are having dessert,” she says.“A few bites of cake are more fattening than an 80-calorie glass of wine.”
GO TO BED EARLY
“Sleep makes a huge difference,” says Pasternak. It affects the hormones ghrelin (which stimulates appetite) and leptin (which signals fullness). When you don’t get enough shut-eye,“these hormones get out of whack,” Zuckerbrot says. In fact, a University of Chicago study found that when sleep was restricted to four hours a night over two nights, leptin dropped by 18 percent, while ghrelin increased 28 percent. Still, getting fewer than eight hours or so of sleep a night can cause your levels to go haywire. ■

If you’re blonde, create dimension with lowlights, like Elizabeth Olsen, another Townsend regular. “Elizabeth’s blonde is superbright around her face, but deeper golden shades are threaded through the rest of her hair.” Adding dimension will not only breathe new life into your hair but into your complexion as well.

WELLNESS TRENDS YOU CAN IGNORE The sheer number of diets, workouts, and products that claim to help you look and feel better can be overwhelming even to think about. Here, a few fads you can easily skip. By Sam Neibart
PROBIOTICS ARE USEFUL, providing your gut with healthy bacteria to aid in digestion and help neutralize inflammation, but you still need to be conscious of the source. Unfortunately, “the small amount of probiotics you get from kombucha doesn’t outweigh the fact that it’s liquid sugar,” LeVeque says. If anything, you should consider kombucha an occasional treat on par with a soda or beer. TRY THIS INSTEAD: A supplement like Seed Daily Synbiotic ($49.99). Measured capsules ensure you’re getting enough probiotics to reap the benefits without the extra calories.
DRINKABLE COLLAGEN
IF ONLY A SMOOTHIE could give you firmer skin. While there are plenty of edible collagen “beauty powders” that promise to do just that, it isn’t that simple, says Dennis Gross, M.D., a New York dermatologist. “Collagen will not travel through your stomach into your bloodstream and then plump up your skin,” he says with a laugh. Your body breaks down collagen supplements into amino acids during the process of digestion—doing nil for your skin. Even applying collagen directly on your face won’t do the trick.Topically, the molecules are too big to penetrate the skin, Gross explains. TRY THIS INSTEAD: Topical products and treatments that have been shown to stimulate collagen production (e.g., retinoids, vitamin C, peptides, and LED therapy).
PEOPLE CAN’T STOP TALKING about CBD because it’s heralded as a miracle fix for everything from muscle pain to anxiety. When it comes to skin care, however, “CBD is an ingredient in pursuit of a market,” says Gross. In other words, the label might grab your attention, but it’s not guaranteed to do much.Though there is some data suggesting that topical CBD can help soothe inflammation, “there are no peer-reviewed clinical studies that show it’s beneficial to skin,” he notes. TRY THIS INSTEAD: A serum containing the proven anti-inflammatory ingredient niacinamide.

FIRST IT WAS YOGA, then it was cycling, and now it’s every kind of class. Heated workouts are said to increase calorie burn for the time spent exercising, but L.A. trainer Sarah Hagaman says that heat can deplete your form and focus. “There’s no need to put your body through unnecessary risk when you’re already taxing it by working out,” she says. Proceed with caution unless you’re confident that you can perform the movements correctly with the additional strain. And remember that the water weight you lose from sweat is temporary, not fat loss. TRY THIS INSTEAD: Exercising five days a week, including two days for a gentle recovery activity like yoga or walking. ■ SEE WHERE TO BUY FOR SHOPPING DETAILS

KETOGENIC DIETS
IT IS TRUE: Restricting carbohydrates can bring on the metabolic state of ketosis. In the absence of glucose, your body will turn to burning existing fat stores for energy. But keep in mind, a ketogenic diet isn’t a magic bullet to drop pounds. “People might avoid beets or carrots because they’re limiting carbs, but then they down a block of cream cheese,” says Kelly LeVeque, a Los Angeles nutritionist.While you can expect to see some weight loss early on—that’s what happens when you dramatically cut carbs—progress tends to plateau, especially if you’re overindulging in keto-approved fatty foods, says LeVeque. TRY THIS INSTEAD: Limiting empty carbs in favor of fruits and veggies.

“I’m friendly with Brad Pitt,” says Paltrow. “I don’t

have any really bad blood.”
wyneth Paltrow is sitting at the head of a long table outside her office at Goop’s headquarters in Santa Monica, an environment done up in shades of gray and white where Sweetgreen abounds, and arrays of self-improvement books and organic snacks are organized with military precision. In shorts, a loose top, and bare feet, Paltrow is talking about how her kids, 15-year-old Apple and 13-year-old Moses (with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin), relate to her public persona. “I think they understand fame very well,” she says. “My son said to me the other day [after] he was out with his best friend and his family, ‘Mom, people are so different when you’re not there.’ He was like, ‘Fame is a really strange thing.’ ” The 47-year-old Paltrow is a celebrity in the classic mold—her every gesture radiates movie star. But she is also a celebrity in the contemporary mode: a brand. Goop, which began in 2008 as a newsletter, has grown into a 250-person lifestyle empire that churns out a robust stream of content, including a twice-weekly podcast; hosts regular summits; has created fashion, beauty, and fragrance lines; and now has its own Netflix show. The six-part series, The Goop Lab With Gwyneth Paltrow, functions almost as a Goop reality show. Paltrow, whose staff calls her “GP,” moderates each 30-minute episode, interviewing experts with Goop’s chief content officer, Elise Loehnen. In one episode, four Goop employees travel to Jamaica for a “healing trip,” where they try psychedelics (magic mushrooms). At one point, Paltrow talks about having tried another mind-altering substance, MDMA, in Mexico with her now husband, Brad Falchuk, noting that she did not hallucinate but adding that she thinks “there’s so much to unearth” if she took it therapeutically. “What could possibly be wrong with you?” Loehnen asks Paltrow. “You have everything.You’re beautiful. You’re wealthy. You’re famous.” Paltrow responds, “Being the person that people perceive me to be is inherently traumatic.” The question of what Paltrow is really like has been central to the Goop brand—for both its fans and its detractors. She is sometimes painted as remote or out of touch; in person, she’s engaging, open, and quick-witted. Paltrow grins slyly when I bring up the hubbub over her disclosure that she and Falchuk continued to live in separate residences for almost a year after they were married. (Falchuk, a successful writer and producer, also has two kids from a previous marriage.) The couple, who celebrated their first anniversary in September, moved in together last summer.

“So our sex life is over,” Paltrow jokes when I ask about their cohabitation. “I thought it was really interesting how resonant that was for people,” she says. “One of my best friends was like, ‘That is my dream. Don’t ever move in.’ I think it certainly helps with preserving mystery and also preserving the idea that this person has their own life. So this is something I’m trying to remain aware of now as we merge together.” The pair met in 2010, and again a few years later, when Paltrow did guest spots on the TV series Glee, which Falchuk wrote for and coproduced with her friend Ryan Murphy. (The team also worked together on the Netflix series The Politician, in which Paltrow played a supporting role.) Falchuk recalls getting to know Paltrow on the set.“She’s stunning and she’s charming and she’s completely disarming,” he says. “We had similar enough backgrounds—a little bit Jewish, a little bit East Coast, her dad was a TV producer—and so we just sort of developed this really lovely friendship.”
F
alchuk says there are “many moments” each day when he’s reminded of the fact that he’s married to Gwyneth Paltrow. “There’s a public Gwyneth Paltrow, and there are all these ideas about who that is,” he explains.“And the reality is, the real Gwyneth Paltrow is so much more amazing, so much more than that, and that’s the one that I keep getting struck by and can’t believe I’m married to. All that curiosity and humility and non-judgment and desire for growth, and openness and excitement about the world. It’s like, well, when that’s your wife, how do you not have the same approach?” Last summer, photos surfaced of Paltrow and Falchuk with ex-husband Martin, from whom Paltrow famously “consciously uncoupled” in 2014, and Martin’s girlfriend, Dakota Johnson, all palling around on the beach in the Hamptons. When I tell Paltrow that a number of friends DM’ed me that photo at the time, expressing a mixture of excitement, interest, and confusion, she laughs drily, and stresses that her dynamic with Martin continues to evolve. “It’s not like there’s a finish line: ‘Oh, we consciously uncoupled; we’re done.’ It’s a lifelong commitment to constantly reinvent your relationship with your ex, which you do presumably because you have children together. I don’t see a reason to do it if you don’t have children together. Some people do,” she says. “But I think we put all the hard work in at the beginning. I would say very rarely is it difficult now. We’ve learned how to communicate with each other. We love each other. We laugh. We have the best of each other. It’s really nice. It makes you feel like you don’t have to lose.” ➤

Earlier, Paltrow showed me her Life360 app, which is similar to Find My Friends: The face of “Dad” (as in Martin) popped up on the map. In October, Paltrow even posted an Instagram tribute to Johnson on her 30th birthday. “I love her,” Paltrow says. “I can see how it would seem weird because it’s sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her. I always start to think of the ampersand sign—what else can you bring in, instead of being resistant to or being made insecure by? There’s so much juice in leaning in to something like that.” Paltrow remains tight with some of her ex-boyfriends too. “One of them is still one of my best friends—one from high school, Tony Woods,” she says. “And I’m friendly with Brad Pitt. I don’t have any really bad blood.” Woods, who designs and builds townhouses in New York, remembers the origins of what would later become Paltrow’s more formalized wellness and recommendation efforts at Goop. “Gwyneth took me in 1993 to buy me my first bar of face soap, so I did get some of her ‘beauty guide’ before,” he says.“It was the Clinique with the slide-out case. She took me to the Sangertown Mall in upstate New York, and she wouldn’t even let me pretend it was for her.” Woods, who says he recently texted Paltrow a “question about infrared versus traditional saunas,” adds, “She’s an ongoing resource for physical and spiritual improvement.” Another friend, Demi Moore, tells me that it’s Paltrow’s willingness to show vulnerability that people respond to. “In all that seems so perfect, part of her beauty is that she lets you see what’s imperfect,” Moore explains. “I think there’s a perception that she’s of privilege, and thereby it’s easy. It’s not easy because she comes from privilege. It’s easy because she does the work.” Paltrow figures prominently in She Said, the new book by Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor about their reporting on the sexual abuse and harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein. She was one of the first women to go on the record with Twohey and Kantor about having been harassed by Weinstein. Paltrow views the rise of the Me Too movement as the breaking of a fault line. “It’s almost like it was the accumulation of so many years of this happening—and not to say that it doesn’t happen anymore because it still does, especially in companies where women don’t have a platform and there’s still a lot of fear and hierarchy and intimidation,” she says. “There’s still so much inequity all over the place. It sounds funny to say, but I’m sort of less familiar with it in the entertainment world. Also, I think I’ve reached the status in that world where no one’s going to fuck with me.” To Paltrow, the discussions around harassment and gender inequality are still very much in their infancy. She cites the differences she’s noticed in questions directed at male and female executives. “Having gone to a lot of these summits and conferences, a question that I and other women get asked a lot is, ‘Do you have impostor syndrome?’ No man

has ever been asked that on any panel that I’ve ever sat through. Not one time,” she says. I ask Paltrow if she would ever have envisioned her transition to lifestyle and wellness impresario. She shakes her head.“I would have been totally baffled,” she explains. There has been no shortage of mirth and fury surrounding Goop—including a $145,000 settlement in 2018 related to controversial claims about the prospective healing properties of jade eggs. But sentiment about the company seems to have stabilized.“Probably three years ago there was a bunch of negative stuff all the time, and in a situation like that when you have a couple of people really gunning for you…,” she says, trailing off. “But [now] it’s pretty great.”
P
altrow rarely acts these days, and neither of her kids have seen any of her films, save for the Iron Man movies. If Paltrow comes across one of her films herself, the reaction is visceral. “I vom,” she says. “I gag. I hate it.” Does she ever feel like the acting bug might come back? “Literally never—nev-er,” she says. “When I was acting I really burned myself out. When the flywheel kicked in, I was doing three to five movies a year. I really got to the point where even the little things, like sitting in the van going to set, getting your makeup touch-ups, and everything—I really don’t know that I can bear it. The last movie I starred in, I was pregnant with my daughter. It was a movie called Proof, an adaptation of a play I did in London, and I was like, ‘I’ve had it. I can’t do this anymore.’ I had morning sickness and I was dying, and I had these five-page monologues. So when I had her, I knew I was going to take a big chunk of time off. And I’ve never starred in anything again.” Paltrow, though, says she delights in coming across Instagram posts paying respect to her and ex-fiancé Pitt’s ’90s style. “I love it,” she says. “It’s just so funny to me because now my daughter looks at the ’90s the way I looked at the ’70s.” (Every year on Paltrow’s birthday, Apple posts a throwback photo of her mother on Instagram—“preferably with a cigarette,” Paltrow adds.) Earlier in our conversation, I’d asked Paltrow why she decided not to take mushrooms with her team on The Goop Lab. “I just felt like I can’t be doing that on TV because God knows what’s going to happen,” she told me. “Having been a public person for such a long time, I’m quite guarded about my private life. At the same time there are a lot of things I’m very open about. I guess I would just want to be in control of my faculties when I’m on TV. “I think I get more and more open as the years go on,” she continues. “I think that maybe comes in life when the degree to which you’re pretending to be someone else—or still hoping you’re going to be someone else—starts to diminish, and you’re like, ‘Here I am. Okay. So what?’” ■

T H E V I S I B L E W O M A N For actress Elisabeth Moss, a little bit of mystery is always in fashion. By Christine Lennon Photographs by Yulia Gorbachenko ELISABETH MOSS’S face, which is pale, lineless, and animated, reveals everything she wants you to know and little else. Even in the ridiculously dim early evening light of the bar at the Sunset Tower hotel in Los Angeles, her blue eyes are bright with attention. “I find that I’m very, very good at, like, I guess some people would call it compartmentalizing,” says Moss, 37, with a laugh and a lilt in her voice that makes that admission sound like an apology. Moss, who introduces herself as Lizzie, has arrived fresh from a meeting with the writers of The Handmaid’s Tale, the dystopian Hulu drama that she both produces and stars in. Her shoulder-length, bleached-blonde hair is in a pretty tangle, and she’s wearing a black leather moto jacket, a white T-shirt, and track pants. “I’m really good at turning it off, going home and texting my friends, having a glass of wine, and putting it aside,” she tells me after ordering a Moscow mule and sinking into the cushions around a corner table. “It’s not unconscious. I need to be able to do that to treat my work with joy and enthusiasm.” Anyone who has seen Moss as Peggy Olson, the advertising copywriter who repeatedly crashed into a succession of low glass ceilings on Mad Men, or June, the enslaved procreator–slash–agent of chaos on Handmaid’s, knows her face and all the quicksilver emotions it conveys. She can communicate more with a raised eyebrow than most people can with a paragraph of dialogue. In Moss’s latest film, The Invisible Man, a modern retelling of the H.G. Wells sci-fi novel of the same name, that canvas of a face is on full display, panicked and paranoid as she plays a woman terrorized by an abusive ex-boyfriend who no one else can see. It’s worth noting that many of the characters in the Moss oeuvre seem to be fighting against a pervasive destructive masculine presence, but in Invisible Man this theme is anything but nuanced. “It’s that universal feeling of not being seen, of not having a voice, the fear of being invisible,” she explains. “We live in a patriarchy. If you’re telling a story about a woman, part of it will be about living in that patriarchy.” Moss also has zero fear around playing the antihero. “I’ve had to remind people who love June about all who have died either directly because of her or because she’s let them die,” she says. “June can ➤ Sphere of influence.

be shitty. She can be selfish. She makes the wrong decision all the time. She cheats on her husband. She’s not the best heroine a lot of the time. Then again she is so human, and so us, and tough and strong, and she does have this love for her daughter,” Moss continues.“People have many different facets. All the good stories are very murky. Big gray areas are more interesting.” Moss, who was born in L.A. to musician parents and raised in Laurel Canyon along with her younger brother, started acting at the age of six. “I don’t remember not wanting to do it,” she says. “I was a dancer at the same time. I always loved performing. I loved ballet. But I kind of ended up choosing acting because it seemed like a better choice long-term. My mom just kept asking me, ‘Do you still want to do it? Do you want to audition?’ And I kept saying, ‘Yes.’ It was really that simple.” Moss’s taste for complex characters was evident early on, dating back to 1998 when she was cast, at 16, in Girl, Interrupted as Polly “Torch” Clark, a teenager disfigured by self-inflicted burn wounds. The film, about a group of girls in a psychiatric hospital, starred Winona Ryder and then newcomer Angelina Jolie, who won an Oscar for her performance. “I remember it all very vividly,” Moss says. “There I was with Winona, who was already a legend in her 20s. She was so nice to me. Angelina wasn’t necessarily the Angelina Jolie we know now, but everyone knew who she was. She was still this force. I didn’t talk to her really, but it was more of a character thing. We’re friendly now. Clea DuVall was in it, and now she’s on Handmaid’s. We were shooting in this mental hospital in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and it was so cold. It was this really fun, amazing experience.” Onscreen, Moss can appear raw and exposed, but offscreen she’s guarded. “You have to be careful,” she says. “Once the information is out there, you can’t take it back.” She offers Holly Hunter, her costar in the 2013 miniseries Top of the Lake, as an example of someone who has managed to retain an air of mystery. “Broadcast News is one of my favorite movies, and she’s one of the coolest people, but I don’t know anything about her. I think she lives in New York?” Moss says. “Meryl Streep does it well. I was listening to an Oprah podcast where she was interviewing Julia Roberts, and here you have arguably the biggest female star in the world, and she has managed to maintain a good amount of privacy. I don’t think it has to do with your level of stardom but in how you conduct your life.” Moss, though, appreciates the impulse to delve into the lives of actors. “I totally understand why people want to know that stuff,” she says.“I see a story about Olivia Colman, who I love, and I want to devour it. I dissect it like, ‘Where does she live? What does her kitchen look like?’ I want to see Olivia’s kitchen. But I never want to get to the point where someone’s watching something I’m doing and thinking about what my kitchen looks like.” From a neighboring table at the Tower Bar, Jameela Jamil and Tracee Ellis Ross wave hello, and Jamil scrambles over to introduce herself before showering Moss with compliments. A producer comes by to thank her for a Q&A session she’s attending that evening. Moss greets everyone with the same wide grin. “This place really is the belly of the beast,” she says with a shrug. “You don’t come here if you don’t want to be seen.” ■

A new exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris explores the history of fashion through the lens of Harper’s Bazaar By Stephen Mooallem ON FEBRUARY 28, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris will mark the reopening of its newly renovated fashion galleries with an exhibition devoted to Harper’s Bazaar. “First in Fashion” will examine the history of fashion as it has unfolded in the pages of the magazine, spotlighting a collection of watershed moments and seismic shifts in the way we dress, think, and live as they were captured in—and, in some cases, instigated by—Bazaar. Overseen by MAD director Olivier Gabet and curators Éric Pujalet-Plàa and Marianne Le Galliard, with Bazaar’s editor in chief, Glenda Bailey, and design director, Elizabeth Hummer, the exhibition charts Bazaar’s evolution from a 19th-century literary lifestyle journal that billed itself as “a repository for fashion, pleasure, and instruction” into the first modern fashion magazine. ➤ Photograph by Richard Avedon Dovima with elephants, evening dress by Dior, Cirque d’Hiver, Paris, August 1955

The way Bazaar has covered fashion was undeniably shaped by the moment at which it was born. Patterned after a German publication called Der Bazar, Bazaar was originally conceived as a general interest weekly aimed at the women of the rising American leisure class that would cover fashion and the aristocratic social swirl in places like London, Paris, and Vienna, and offer advice on topics such as homemaking and etiquette alongside fiction and poetry. Under Mary Louise Booth’s leadership, Bazaar delivered glitzy coverage of the codes, clothes, manners, and modes of old-world high society, with a smattering of New York for good measure. But it also encouraged women to think more consciously about the roles that were being imposed upon them—domestic and otherwise—and even rethink aspects of their own lives and possibilities. Bazaar was at once of its time and ahead of its time. An essay in the June 12, 1869, issue argued for “fairer laws for women, the opening to them of new avenues of employment, the gradual approximation to the just rule of equal wages for equal work, and the very general admission that in a few years all judicial distinctions between the rights of the two halves of humanity will be swept from the statute-books.” This was more than 50 years before the 19th amendment was ratified in 1920, guaranteeing women the right to vote. It wasn’t until the turn of the 20th century, as designers like Paul Poiret and later Coco Chanel, Madeleine Vionnet, Jeanne Lanvin, and Elsa Schiaparelli cast off the old strictures of the Victorian era, that Bazaar began to more closely resemble the magazine it is today. But Bazaar’s definition of fashion had already come to embody the spirit of what Carmel Snow would later refer to as “well-dressed women with well-dressed minds.” The question of what it means to live as a woman in the modern world has hovered over the magazine for 153 years—and is one that’s at the center of the MAD exhibition. “Visualize yourself as you looked on a beautiful autumn day last year,” Bazaar implored in the August 1947 issue. “There’s not much in the old picture that survives.” In some ways, that is fashion: a powerful gust that blows through each season leaving a Rorschach of adjusted hemlines, reimagined silhouettes, and artistic, cultural, social, political, and economic implications in its wake.To Bazaar, though, the job of fashion magazines has never been just to describe the weather. It’s to be the wind. ■

The name of the exhibition is fitting: Since its founding in 1867, Bazaar has been present for an epoch of “firsts” in fashion, as well as myriad creative, cultural, and social revolutions. Bazaar—or Bazar, as it was originally spelled—was the first American magazine to dedicate itself to exploring the lives of women through fashion. Bazaar’s first editor, Mary Louise Booth, was involved in the women’s suffrage movement, and it was one of the first mainstream publications to advocate for voting rights, equal pay, and educational and professional opportunities for women. Bazaar was the first magazine to look at fashion within the context of art and culture, and the first to depict women in fashion in real environments, moving through real spaces in real time. It was the first magazine to commission Richard Avedon, and the first to anoint denim and bikinis as fashion (the latter of which Diana Vreeland deemed “the most important thing since the atom bomb”). Bazaar was also the first to celebrate Dior’s New Look, the first to put a man on its cover, and the first to introduce Kate Moss to America. The list of creative talent who launched their careers in Bazaar and contributed to the magazine is equally impressive. Editors like Bailey, Booth, Carmel Snow, Nancy White, Anthony T. Mazzola, and Liz Tilberis all shepherded Bazaar during long, transformative periods. Creative and art directors like Alexey Brodovitch, Henry Wolf, Marvin Israel, Ruth Ansel, Bea Feitler, Fabien Baron, and Stephen Gan broke new ground and helped change the visual vocabulary of magazines. Artists like Erté, Christian “Bébé” Bérard, Marcel Vertès, A.M. Cassandre, Man Ray, Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dalí, and Andy Warhol all did illustrations for Bazaar. Writers and editors like Vreeland, Daisy Fellowes, Gloria Guinness, Eugenia Sheppard, Carrie Donovan, Tonne Goodman, Paul Cavaco, Sarah Mower, Melanie Ward, and Carine Roitfeld brought in new perspectives on fashion. Photographers like Avedon, Martin Munkácsi,Toni Frissell, Henri CartierBresson, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Lillian Bassman, Melvin Sokolsky, Hiro, Francesco Scavullo, Patrick Demarchelier, Peter Lindbergh, Jean-Paul Goude, and Karl Lagerfeld, who shot for Bazaar, expanded the potential of fashion imagery. The MAD show is firmly grounded in fashion, drawing upon the museum’s robust archive of more than 150,000 pieces. But the thread of Bazaar’s ongoing dialogue with fashion animates much of the material.
