SHANIA TWAIN WANTS YOU TO “COME ON OVER” TO SIN CITY IN CELEBRATION OF HER ICONIC ALBUM’S 25 TH ANNIVERSARY—AND HER THIRD LAS VEGAS RESIDENCY.

hania Twain is having a party, and it ain’t just any kind of party… it’s going to be really, really hot.

I’m inclined to think of our cover shoot as a sneak preview of said sexy soirée. The five-time Grammy winner is giving her best Brigitte Bardot at Hollywood’s Bar Lis, smoldering at the camera from heavy-lidded, smoky eyes, transformed by a series of candy-coated, bubblegum pink and platinum blonde wigs, tilting her head seductively, and purposefully showing off her toned pins (sometimes in nothing more tha a pair of undies). Not that is anything new: Twain, 58, has always been playful with fashion. But there’s something different about her now, something truly fun, like a tightly coiled spool of yarn that has charmingly come loose.

And that right there, the “girl who wants to have fun” vibe, is what fans can expect this spring in Las Vegas as the iconic singer debuts her third Sin City residency, aptly named “COME ON OVER — The Las Vegas Residency

All the Hits!” A party for two it isn’t, but never mind, because this kind of experience is one that should be shared with many. It’s an invitation to enter Shania’s world, pop some champagne, and celebrate.

And she has a lot to celebrate at the moment. There’s the residency, which kicks off May 10 at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Bakkt Theater; the 25th anniversary of her third studio album, Come on Over, which was recognized by Guinness World Records as the top-selling studio album of all time by a female solo artist (it is also the best-selling country album, best-selling album by a Canadian artist, and the world’s eighth best-selling album of all time); and — perhaps most importantly of all — her new lease on life.

“I am,” she says, “in my ‘making the most of life’ era.”

The pink wigs seem to be a sign, or at least an indicator, of her current state of mind — and what fans should expect from her upcoming show. Twain promises it’s going to be a spectacle: lots of energy, outrageous costumes, and, of course, what Shania and Shania alone can singularly deliver: her hits.

This is the focus of “Come on Over.” Chart toppers like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” “You’re Still the One,” and tunes from her latest album, 2023’s Queen of Me, are anticipated for the 24 Las Vegas performance dates that carry on through December. [To note, $1 of every ticket purchased will be donated to Shania Kids Can, a non-profit established in 2010, which provides services that promote positive change in children’s lives in times of crisis and economic hardship.] Every 90-minute show will feel fresh and new in that each will be effectively be a surprise: Twain plans on rotating her hits, so fans will always be treated to something different. Which is fitting for her given that the last thing she ever wants to be is predictable.

The music will be the focus of the show, naturally, but that’s about it when it comes to familiarity. In addition to a whole new look for Shania, surprises are certainly in store. “The visuals will be fresh; there’s nothing really nostalgic there,” she notes. “There will be a modern esthetic in contrast to the music.”

Fashion, too, will expectedly play a major part in her performances; Twain has never been one to shy away from taking sartorial risks. Who can forget the head-to-toe leopard print look she wore — snood included — in the 1998 music video for “That Don’t Impress Me Much” or the all-sequin black and white spotted cow print Harris Reed suit she wore to the 2023 Grammy Awards? Not I, that’s for sure.

She says now, “I’m definitely going to focus on fashion for the upcoming shows. It will be a different wardrobe than anyone has ever seen, but it’s also an entirely different show from anything I’ve done before. It’s going to be more athletic, more dynamic in terms of the talent on stage. It’s going to feel more energized than ever.”

It’s also, currently, a work in progress. “I’m going to be working on this up until the very last minute,” she admits. “There are some things that won’t be narrowed down until the last weeks. I’m going to be very hands-on, adjusting things up until the end. So even if I were to give away anything concrete now, I’d be getting ahead of myself, because it’s not fully there yet.”

In addition to the fact that she’ll be singing her greatest hits, there’s at least one thing she can impart: those candy-colored hairpiece confections will have a major presence during her new residency. And not just because they’re cool, or fashion-forward: in her “making the most of life” era, Twain is truly down for anything that makes her feel good and empowered. And with this hair, she is truly transformed.

“It’s funny — the reason that I even experimented with [the pink] was because I’m going grey. And now I’m thinking that when I’m entirely grey, maybe I should just dye my hair at that point and rock the pink,” she muses.

After I agree (and mean it), she says, “It’s the way I feel when I have that color on. It makes me feel youthful. I don’t need to look younger in my own mind it’s not a goal of mine — but I do like to feel refreshed, and the pink hair does that. It’s awesome.”

That cotton candy coif is more than mere hair — it’s a symbol, a state of mind, and with it, she feels unencumbered, courageous, and confident. “I’m getting less and less inhibited as I age,” she confides. “I like to do goofy things. Outside of experimenting with hair color, I would say that I enjoy being fearless — nothing really scares me. I’m not worried about wearing a hair color and not pulling it off. I’m not worried about the backlash… even in my own mirror. There’s no wrong thing to experiment with. You’ve just got to have fun — and being playful makes me feel more youthful.”

She doesn’t mean just in obvious ways, but even in the simplest things, things she’s taken for granted in the past or that she forgot to do while she was making other plans. “Things that you might think are so natural, I hadn’t done. But now, I dance around the house. In private, I go around naked. I don’t think I had ever done that before, but it felt so natural to forget the clothes. Now, I’m like, Oh my gosh, I’ve really been missing out. This is really liberating.”

And because this is a discovery, she — an award-winning, recordholding, musical icon — made only recently, in her fifties, it’s only natural that she’d be urging others to tap into that unearthed part of themselves much sooner, too. “It shouldn’t be a discovery,” she declares. “You should have the confidence and fearlessness to walk around naked if you want to. If I had any advice to impart on the youth, it would be don’t ever not do those things; don’t ever lose touch with those very basic, playful moments in your life. Don’t ever have the need to be reunited with that aspect of yourself, because you shouldn’t lose touch with it in the first place.”

She pauses, and says, “I think that discovery is an absolute luxury. When I see something or read something or hear something that I’ve never heard before, I’m impressed by it. [For the woman responsible for writing a song called “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” well, that should pretty much say it all.] Exploring never ends. We may run out of places on the map to visit, but we never run out of inspiration, you can never trap the imagination. That is the way I look at things; that’s the window to the world.”

Continuing with her stream of consciousness, she says, “I always think that the worst thing in life is to be a baby. Ever since I had a child, I always thought this it must be so difficult because you’re trapped in this little body, and you can’t express yourself. It’s like being a prisoner. If you soil yourself, you’re stuck with it until your parent realizes that you need your diaper changed. So, I’ve always thought that the only freedom you have when you’re trapped is your mind. That’s where a baby’s imagination must

develop the most. The happiest babies are the babies that self-soothe, because they’re entertaining their own escapism as they’re developing; their minds are already [figuring out] how to escape. That has always fascinated me. I lived a lot of my childhood escaping scenarios that I couldn’t otherwise get out of, so without my imagination, I would have been extremely unhappy or uncomfortable.”

Twain does not say any more about her upbringing, but at this time of celebration, there isn’t more than could or should be said. Her childhood was difficult, with little income coming into the home, scarce food, and the relationship between her mother and stepfather sometimes violent. She began singing in bars at the age of eight to earn money. No doubt, her vibrant imagination helped her escape into a fantastical world, a world that would, one day, become her reality.

“You can go anywhere in your imagination,” she says now. “You can be anything. Nothing can stop you from going or being or doing anything. That’s why I spend so much time now daydreaming.” She pauses and says with her typically smoky purr, “Just know this: [when I dream] I do it on purpose.” Was there ever any doubt?

don’t tend to look back a lot,” Shania Twain declares. “I’m always looking forward.”

It’s too bad, then, that our interview happens to fall on the 25th anniversary year of Come on Over, one of the best-selling country albums in the world, and one that solidified Twain as the queen of pop-country music. Naturally, we’re going to be looking at her past.

That said, the realization that her baby had turned 25 was a significant realization for Twain, too, and one she was almost forced to contemplate. “It’s a reflective experience, because it’s been 25 years of moving on from it,” she admits. “It’s a rebirth, or a reunion, in a way. I’m being reunited with my fan base, of all different ages. All the children that grew up with my music are now adults; they’re starting to have their own children. The music is also a reunion for me; the songs are like old friends.”

Twain, known as the trailblazer of the country-pop crossover genre, employed this in spades on her third studio album. As produced by her ex-husband, Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the songs contained traditional country elements like acoustic guitars, pedal steel, and fiddles, as well as electric guitars and rock riffs for a less traditional sound. There was even an international version of Come on Over that felt predominantly pop. The OG version reached number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Country Album at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards in 1999, and spawned 12 singles and three Billboard Haute 100 topten singles in “You’re Still the One,” “From This Moment On,” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much.” It sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, was certified 20x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and was named the best-selling studio album of all time by a solo female artist.

In the interim, she released another three studio albums, gave birth to a son (Eja D’Angelo Lange, now 22), got divorced, and remarried to nowhusband of 13 years, Swiss businessman Frédéric Thiébaud, who is a calm and supportive presence on our set, watching the couple’s tiny Pomeranian, Sapphire, while Twain gets camera-ready. So, though the album’s release marked an important period in her life, it’s been some time since she connected with it —but it couldn’t have come at a better time.

“It’s like a family or high school reunion — it’s wild,” she notes. “It’s got a whole lot of ‘wow’ moments. I keep thinking, I can’t believe all that’s

“WHEN YOU LET YOUR GUARD DOWN, YOU UNLEASH A LOT OF INHIBITION. THERE’S

happened since then, and time really flew by. But now, I can laugh at things without getting emotional about them. Reliving it is fun when I can absorb it more.

“At the time [of release], I wasn’t able to fully be in the moment and enjoy it,” she continues. “There were so many singles, so many videos, and so much work involved that I didn’t really take it all in. Now, looking back, I’m experiencing certain things for the first time. I’m being reminded of things that I may not have been able to take in at that moment.”

Now, with 25 years of space from it, she recalls how Come on Over came to be — and where it took her when she didn’t have to try quite so hard to be a success. “Before [Come on Over], I’d already felt like I’d achieved everything that most artists can ever achieve. My previous album, The Woman in Me, had surpassed diamond status. I remember thinking, This probably won’t happen again, lightning doesn’t strike twice, and that I was just going to have fun with what came next. So that’s what I did. You can hear it in the album: I experimented more, I stretched boundaries, but I was more relaxed about it. And so, Come on Over became a celebration album; it was joyous, it was playful, it was more adventurous. When you let your guard down, you unleash a lot of inhibition, and there’s a freedom in that. But I can appreciate the courage I had back then, because Come on Over was ahead of its time in a lot of ways for females in the country music genre. It ended up being a crossover, and it took me to other genres. Plus, it made me feel more confident in being as original as I wanted.”

Looking back, Twain realizes that she was charting a virtually unknown course, not just for female singers, but for country music itself. Lauren Alaina, Carrie Underwood, Kelsea Ballerini, Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris, and even Taylor Swift, owe their start, in part, to Twain.

“It wasn’t like I intended on being a trailblazer or anything; I never even realized I would be,” she admits. “I was just trying to be original, my authentic self, and to do it with conviction. I’m an expressive person, and I put that into my music. I was saying it with attitude and with confidence because I meant it. Yes, I see it as a great compliment when someone calls me a trailblazer, but it’s not like I set out to do so. I was just being myself, and I think that’s served me very well.”

Although the country music community wasn’t on board with her hybrid sound back then, Come on Over was a risk she was willing — even needed — to take. “I already felt like I had taken a lot of risks with The Woman in Me, and I managed to succeed. Country music was resisting my liberated spirit, but they didn’t kick me out, did they? I felt like I was established enough that I had more freedom to explore, so I was open to taking that risk.”

Which is why, when the subject of pride arises, she dismisses the concept. “I wouldn’t say I’m proud of anything I’ve done. Pride is not a great word for me, because I don’t think you can take credit for creative gifts if you were born with them; you can only take credit for developing them. What I would say I’m proud of is that I had the courage to take risks, that I could be so hard-working and dedicated.”

She references Taylor Swift as a perfect example. “That girl is working her butt off. She is living an exhausting existence, but she’d dedicated and committed to herself, to her art, and her work. It isn’t even about ambition, though I’m sure that most people would call her ambitious. She’s an extremely hard worker, and I’m sure she’s got giant goals. But it’s not all about ambition: it’s about passion and committing yourself to your passion. [Like Taylor], I was and am someone who does that, and that’s what really reaps rewards. So, I would say that I’m most proud of my perseverance, and that I didn’t waste my talents.”

That, dear Shania, is putting it mildly. In addition to those five Grammy wins and placement in the Guinness Book of World Records, she’s sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and was the first artist in history to release three consecutive diamond-certified albums. Her 2004 album, Greatest Hits, was certified 4x platinum. In 2022, Netflix released Shania Twain: Not Just a Girl, a career-spanning documentary on her life and career, with an accompanying Highlights album. She is a force.

Yet, it is then, not now, that she refers to as her “Shania era.” She defines this phase by the signature leopard print she always wore back then, boldly, making a statement. Before Katy Perry, it was Shania Twain you could hear roar.

“I was telling a story, then, of a woman who decides to put her masculine foot forward, and at the same time, in tandem, a feminine foot. It was me saying ‘I have esthetics and a brain, and they are both here at the same time.’ It was a statement period, the Shania era, but I didn’t realize it at the time.”

Her current life phase, the aforementioned “making the most of life” era, is exactly as it sounds. She’s soaking it all in, saying ‘yes!’ to life, like Molly Bloom.

“I’m not wasting a minute,” she declares. “I’m taking more time to reflect, imagine, and dream. I’m being self-focused, but not self-ish. And ironically, by knowing myself better and spending more time on myself, I’m only now realizing what I achieved 25 years ago. I’m absorbing it and appreciating it now more than I did then... and there’s something to be said for reflecting. It’s an indulgence, a luxury I didn’t have 25 years ago. I could easily be doing the same thing, spending my time the same way, never stopping for a minute, but I think that now, I have more to give than I ever have before.”

Twain, in all her resplendent, pink-haired, vivacious glory, pauses. Every strong, female-focused hit plays (metaphorically) as the closing soundtrack to our chat. “I’m Gonna Getcha Good,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” “Any Man of Mine,” “Don’t Be Stupid,” “I’m Outta Here!” They are messages, they are mantras, they are the words of wisdom that Shania Twain has imparted to change an industry, and to empower women everywhere. And now, at least, she can finally fully see it.

She says, “I read a quote once, a graffiti thing, that has always stuck with me. It said, ‘If you’re not living on the edge, you’re probably taking up too much space.’ And I thought, Yeah, that’s exactly right. That says it all for me.”

Consider the mic officially dropped.

THE COCKTAIL CLUB

The best new bars for sipping and swilling in LA this spring.

MARS

MARS, a new cocktail destination tucked behind award-winning restaurant Mother Wolf within the Citizen News Building in Hollywood’s Vinyl District, is truly out of this world. Decadence is the prevailing theme at this glamorous lounge that is rooted in old world luxury, from the opulent interior with its velvet walls and couches, Italian-inspired murals, brushedmirrored ceilings, and gilded chandeliers, to an outdoor space with black-and-white marble checkered floors and large antique urns. The cocktail program is equally as heady, showcasing exquisite classic and whimsical craft confections. These include the Freezer Martini, a readyto-pour libation made of olive oil-infused vodka and gin; an apple martini made with frozen apple granita, vodka, Lillet Blanc, lemon, and Granny Smith, poured tableside; and a banana daiquiri made with Plantation pineapple rum, lime, and Tempus Fugit crème de banane. To note: real MARS enthusiasts can also become members, and with amenities including priority bookings, access to rare spirits inventories, invitations to members-only events, and a customized spirits locker, they definitely should. 1545 Wilcox Ave, 90028

STAY. ZERO PROOF

STAY. Zero Proof is Los Angeles’ first and only no-alcohol cocktail lounge. As conceived by Stacey Mann and actor Summer Phoenix, this cool new concept has emerged in Chinatown from a shared vision to craft an elegant and sophisticated social experience without the need for booze and strategically hired Derek Brown, author of Mindful Drinking, as beverage director to oversee a team of zero-proof mixologists. Together, they’ve created a menu of handcrafted cocktails inspired by and named for the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, all of which are comprised of fresh juices and herbs as well as premium zero proof-spirits. Celebrated vegan chef Erica Daking of Kitchen Mouse is responsible for the lounge’s menu of plant-based bar snacks. Plans for DJ nights, live music, art openings, and more are underway. 425 Gin Ling Wy, 90012

COLD SHOULDER

Who doesn’t love a good secret bar? That’s the vibe at Cold Shoulder, a new drinking den down the street from the Writers Guild of America West building. This new speakeasy is accessible by a hidden bookcase, and entrance is only guaranteed to those who have a special invitation and the (constantly changing) password. Those who can sort this out will discover an Alice in Wonderland-style upside-down space with rugs, a fireplace, and barstools affixed to the ceiling, as well as a wall of presidential portraits. Hand-drawn menus highlight a variety of libations, highlighted by seasonal specialty cocktails and $50-$100 top-shelf libations like the Bananas Foster. This decadent concoction, made with real bananas, black walnut liqueur, Koloa rum, and chocolate bitters, is presented on a marble platter, served with vanilla ice cream, and topped with bacon bits, dried bananas, mixed nuts, and caramel. 359 S Fairfax Ave, 90036

HOLY WATER

What happens when an actor, a TV host, and an athlete walk into a bar? Apparently, they decide to own it. Holy Water is the second collaborative effort of Woody Harrelson, Bill Maher, and John McEnroe, a West Hollywood bar serving conscious cocktails, conveniently located next door to the trifecta’s cannabis shop and consumption lounge, The Woods. The space was brought to life by Schoos Design, with lighting baskets that dangle from the ceiling as an ode to gathering cultures throughout the world, while reclaimed barnwood siding intentionally gives old apothecary chest vibes. You may find one of the three owners here on any given night, imbibing something from a menu of unique, handcrafted cocktails, mocktails, wine, and beer — mostly from small batch, minority, and female-owned businesses with an eco-conscious bent. 8275 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, 90046

We sat down with Firth to discuss how she’s making the world a better place, one fashionable footstep at a time.

What made you start the Green Carpet Challenge and how has it evolved? When I started it in 2010, it was out of the coming together of different factors: an opportunity — [estranged husband Colin Firth] being nominated for Tom Ford’s A Single Man movie and knowing that, throughout awards season, people would start focusing on what I was wearing; a realization — fashion has one of the biggest environmental and social impacts, and yet, no one thinks about that when they get dressed in the morning; and a fact — there is no bigger communication platform than the red carpet. The evolution has been almost directly proportionate with the amplification it wanted to have — from being just me, to challenging the designers, to involving the celebrities and the stylists, to getting the sustainable fashion conversation mainstream. From Green Carpet Challenge, we went into Green Carpet Fashion Awards and 14 years later, it is one of the biggest platforms to promote transformation in a positive way.

What is the overlying purpose of the challenge and awards? How do you specifically give back to the environment?

It’s about all of us understanding the connection that fashion has. As Dan McDougall (Amnesty Award-winning journalist and filmmaker) says, ‘“fashion is the only red line that runs through all our lives.” It represents one of the biggest connection points for hundreds of millions of people across our world. It’s like a chain reaction of individuals colliding with others and influencing their lives without realizing it. The GCFA puts together all these dots, it joins them, and hopefully, makes you look at the bigger picture and makes you want to participate in the change.

How did the Green Carpet Fashion Awards come to be, and how did you come up with the archetypes? Which women embodies each of these archetypes?

We needed to highlight archetypes that are needed in our society and with whom people can identify. It is not just about one kind of person, or one kind of job, or one kind of activist. We need healers, sages, rebels, and so on. In this

spirit, I don’t think anyone represents all of them; you can be a healer without being a rebel or a visionary, you know? And some days, you can feel like a rebel and others, you can feel like a messenger. I think I am an agitator (my title at work is even chief agitator officer). There is no archetype for that, but you just gave me the idea of creating that for next year’s edition!

It isn’t easy being green... or is it? How do you implement being ecofriendly into your everyday routine at home?

What if we substituted the word “eco-friendly” with “respect”? This is what it is about — having respect for “other” — whether it is the planet or the people around you or who make things for you, produce your food, your clothes, your car, and so on. How difficult it is to have respect?

Why is giving back so important to you?

It is about what I receive every day, not what I give every day. When you have a relationship of co-dependence, or the famous “I am because you are,” then my health, my wealth, and my well-being depend on what I give back. It’s this symbiotic relationship, or solidarity, that makes a difference.

What is the greatest luxury in life and why?

Time. We do not have it anymore. We need to use it wisely if we want to save humanity. Earth will totally survive without us, and sometimes, I think may be even better.

Looking ahead, Haute Living gives an exclusive glimpse into the Dior Fall 2024 collection, where Maria Grazia Chiuri finds a keen sense of inspiration in New York. With the collection, Chiuri initiates a conversation between Paris and New York, spotlighting a dialogue with two emblematic prints: the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower, which adorn numerous styles and silhouettes.

HERMÈS

In March, Los Angeles welcomed the Hermès Parade, an immersive live performance that highlighted the importance of storytelling, a fundamental value that lies at the heart of the Hermès brand. Directed by acclaimed choreographer Philippe Decouflé and curated by the artistic directors of the Hermès home universe, Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry, the event spotlighted the brand’s home collection in a narrative that bridged form, material, and functionality. The performance featured 56 dancers who, through a series of 70 non-linear acts, brought over 400 objects to life, ranging from furniture and lighting to textiles and tableware.

For the Women’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, Nicolas Ghesquière explored the meaning of travel that is innately woven into the Louis Vuitton DNA. For the designer, “Vuitton is a luxury brand, but it’s about function; it provides a service: to travel better. Mobility is important in clothes.”

DISCOVER LOUIS VUITTON’S FORAY INTO TABLEWARE, MASTERING DINING IN STYLE.

@hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 51

If you’ve had the chance to dine at one of Louis Vuitton’s cafés, such as the one in Saint-Tropez last summer at the White 1921 hotel with Michelin-starred chefs Arnaud Donckele and Maxime Frédéric, chances are you’ve dined with the Maison’s bespoke tableware. Last November, Louis Vuitton made its grand entry into the world of fine dining as it presented its first tableware collection.

MONOGRAM FLOWER TILE TABLEWARE COLLECTION

Now a permanent addition to the brand’s repertoire, its dinnerware is divided into three distinct lines that celebrate the Maison’s Monogram flower: the Monogram Flower Tile tableware, the Twist Glass series, and the Flower Carafes. Each collection further establishes Louis Vuitton’s commitment to redefining the idea of “art de vivre,” introducing a Louis Vuitton feel to dining settings.

Crafted from Limoges porcelain, the Monogram Flower Tile tableware range features a minimalist white-and-blue color scheme, and for the summer 2024 season, the Maison is introducing the set in a beige colorway. Each piece showcases the graphic elaboration of the Louis Vuitton’s emblematic Monogram flower, adorned with subtle watercolor effects set against an ultra-white backdrop. From dainty plates to ample bowls, the collection ensures that a touch of luxury graces every table.

Complementing the porcelain line, the Twist Glass series is designed in crystal clear and shades of sapphire blue, amber, emerald, and Venetian ruby. The series of glasses adds an artistic flair to the table with a dynamic design featuring a swirling shape that ascends from the Monogram flower at the base. In addition to the Twist Glass line, the Flower Carafes echo the glasses’ color palette and delicate transparency. These decanters are a nod to the revered Murano glass-making tradition, crafted with the expertise of Simone Cenedese to ensure each piece carries a unique character.

In the Objets Nomades realm is the Blossom Vase By Tokujin Yoshioka. Hand-crafted by master glassblowers in Murano, Italy, each vase features a thick, smooth swirl of glass in various versions — clear, eye-catching black, or colored — serving as either a practical vessel for a bouwquet or a stunning decorative piece on its own.

Pairing perfectly with the Summer 2024 tableware collection, Louis Vuitton is unveiling Objets Nomades like the Diamond Vase by Marcel Wonders, the Lantern PM by Zanellato and Bortotto, the Bell Lamp by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby alongside porcelain pieces like the Petite Malle Porcelain Vase, the Porcelain Vase Petite Boîte Chapeau and the Malle Fleurs.

Louis Vuitton has indeed perfected the art of dining, demonstrating that there is nothing beyond the Maison’s design reach.

This summer, Dior transforms its iconic Lady Dior handbag once again with the unveiling of the Lady D-Sire as its latest iteration. Following the debut of the Lady 95.22 last year, the Lady D-Sire explores the architectural lines that have defined the Lady Dior bag, introducing a new contemporary silhouette for the bag. Ahead, Haute Living offers an exclusive look into the impeccable savoir-faire behind the Lady D-Sire at Dior ateliers.

As its name suggests, the Lady D-Sire is crafted as a true object of desire. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the bag is its shape, skewing a bit more rectangular than the Lady Dior, ultimately creating a more elegant, ladylike look. The handbag is meticulously designed in two fabrications at the ateliers: luxurious crumpled leather on the signature graphics of the Macrocannage in black, as well as grained Taurillon leather in a neutral color palette.

@hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 65 Haute FASHION

Similar in style to the Lady Dior, each handbag is adorned with “D, I, O, R” charms in a lustrous gold hue;the sizes of the Lady D-Sire range from small to extra-large. Designed with versatility in mind, it has folding handles and adjustable straps. Both sophisticated and cool, consider the Lady D-Sire a new Dior classic.

HOUSE CODES

Chanel’s Fine Jewelry collections extend beyond beautiful pieces of jewelry;they serve as reminders of the inspiration that once led Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel to create the House’s signature design motifs. From the N°5 Fine Jewelry collection paying tribute to her lucky number (five) and the Première Edition Originale watch, originally designed in 1987 with the octagonal shape of the stopper of the N°5 Perfume bottle, to the Coco Crush collection that gives a nod to the House’s quilted motif, these pieces carry a part of Coco Chanel in them.

SETTING A NEW STANDARD

Discover the 2024 Louis Vuitton high watchmaking novelties.

IN EARLY MARCH, MAJOR NEWS CAME OUT OF LA FABRIQUE DU Temps Louis Vuitton as the Maison revealed the 2024 High Watchmaking Novelties. With seven new timepieces making their debut, one common theme is woven throughout the collection: the art of watchmaking. From the exquisite range of Métiers d’art on the dials to new techniques and artist collaborations, the artistry of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton has set a new precedent in the horological world.

TAMBOUR MOON FLYING TOURBILLON “POINÇON DE GENÈVE” SAPPHIRE FRANK GEHRY

Louis Vuitton has always been a major proponent of the arts, so it comes as no surprise that La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton and renowned architect Frank Gehry have furthered their longstanding collaboration with a timepiece. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris and the Louis Vuitton store in Seoul — two of Gehry’s most celebrated projects — this timepiece stands as a testament to unparalleled architectural beauty. Crafted with complete transparency, the watch offers a clear view of the sophisticated flying tourbillon movement, meticulously produced, and assembled by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton and distinguished by the prestigious “Poinçon de Genève” seal.

LOUIS VUITTON ESCALE CABINET OF WONDERS

Echoing the same dedication to the arts as the Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon “Poinçon de Genève” Sapphire Frank Gehry, the new trilogy of Louis Vuitton Escale watches charts the brand’s voyage through artisan craftsmanship, with each piece serving as a horological work of art on the dial. This trio of limited-edition timepieces — Dragon’s Cloud, Koï’s Garden, and Snake’s Jungle — draws inspiration from Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s private collections of rare objects, including antique tsubas (highly decorated Japanese katana sword guards).

LOUIS VUITTON TAMBOUR SLIM VIVIENNE JUMPING HOURS SAKURA AND ASTRONAUT

Taking inspiration from the Vivienne, a motif created in 2017 and derived from the signature Monogram Flower, the two new jumping hour watches — Sakura Vivienne and Astronaut Vivienne — are a testament to the Maison’s skill in combining the inventive jumping hour mechanism with the intricate art of advanced watchmaking. The Tambour Slim Vivienne Jumping Hours Astronaut is equipped with the LV 180 Caliber, an automatic mechanical movement with a unique double aperture jumping hour complication, meticulously developed, and assembled by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. Encased in 18K white gold and adorned with brilliant and rosecut diamonds, this exquisite timepiece boasts an aventurine dial that is complemented by a blue Taurillon leather strap.

VOYAGER FLYING TOURBILLON “POINÇON DE GENÈVE” PLIQUE-À-JOUR

Perhaps the more futuristic of all the novelties, the Voyager Flying Tourbillon “Poinçon de Genève” Plique-À-Jour is a contemporary stained-glass masterpiece that showcases the flawless flying tourbillon movement crafted at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, and is adorned with the esteemed “Poinçon de Genève” seal. As Louis Vuitton often does to create something modern, it looks back. Louis Vuitton revives the intricate “plique-à-jour” technique, a method without backing that dates back to Byzantine artisans, choosing the exceptionally difficult Western “percé” method for its Voyager watch dial, transforming it into a miniature, modern stained-glass artwork through meticulous enamel application. The result is a technical marvel that offers unparalleled clarity and luminosity, featuring a white gold dial adorned with interlocking Vs and a captivating gradient of blues, and showcasing a fresh and luminous reinterpretation of this ancient craft.

A NEW SONG

Audemars Piguet taps watch aficionado John Mayer to design a new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar.

“MY FAVORITE WATCHES HAVE DIALS THAT YOU CAN ENDLESSLY stare at. A great watch dial feels like a picture window — you look into it, not at it. In the case of this QP, it’s like looking up at a moonless sky. There is a true sense of nature in it. And when you couple that sense of depth and vastness with the complication of a perpetual calendar, it is a very powerful combination of technical prowess and esthetic design,” notes John Mayer on his new creation with Audemars Piguet. As I was poking through the release of the new timepiece, one thing remained clear to me: Mayer’s deep connection to timepieces and their intricacies almost mirror his deep connection to the lyrics in his [many] acclaimed songs. Mayer’s passions run deep, and it couldn’t be clearer in his collaboration design of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar equipped with the AP self-winding Caliber 5134.

As a long-time friend of AP, a watch enthusiast, and now the “Creative Conduit” for the brand, Mayer has combined his knack and fascination for timepieces with the esteemed heritage of AP to partner on the new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “John Mayer” Limited Edition, produced in only 200 copies.

At the surface, the watch is simply stunning with a dynamic dial that echoes Mayer’s sentiment on the dial becoming a “picture window,” combining 18K white gold with a new “Crystal Sky” dial in a range of blue hues. Mayer closely collaborated with the AP design teams to craft this dial, and through meticulous craftsmanship, the intricate pattern was formed atom by atom via electroforming. In this exclusive edition, the motif is presented in a rich blue hue using Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD), enhancing its depth and luminosity, while subdials and calendar indications offer functional elegance against the textured backdrop.

To improve the overall legibility, Mayer also introduced subtle modifications to the perpetual calendar display. For example, the “31”

of the date subdial is usually red on modern Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar models, but this time, it is printed in white. Also, the two numerals of the “31” are now smaller in size and slightly stepped to distinguish them from the adjacent “1.” He also selected a lighter blue shade for the week indicator that “could fall back into the dial when simply reading the time but could easily be found when looking to read the week complication,” as he explains. And for the first time, the “Swiss Made” inscription is printed in white at the bottom of the moon phase subdial rather than on the dial’s outer edge at six o’clock.

The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “John Mayer” Limited Edition will also be the last limited edition equipped with the brand’s self-winding perpetual calendar movement, Caliber 5134, marking the end to a legendary history that began over 45 years ago. Today, Caliber 5134 ensures accurate date tracking, accommodating leap years and requiring manual correction only once in 2100, while boasting a frequency of 2.75 Hz and a 40-hour power reserve. The caliber is shown through the sapphire caseback, revealing intricate decorations such as Côtes de Genève and a rhodium-toned 22-carat pink gold openworked oscillating weight adorned with Audemars Piguet’s signature Tapisserie motif.

For Mayer, there is no higher complication: “For me, the perpetual calendar is the ultimate complication, the benchmark for high horology, and though there are complications that are more complex, the historical footing of the QP in the history of watchmaking is what makes it stand out. Caliber 5134 will go down in history as one that defined an era of watch collecting — and public enthusiasm at large — for a complication that had not enjoyed that kind of attention and desire before,” he notes.

Heuer partners with Malbon Golf for an exclusive connected watch.

TAG HEUER HAS MADE A MODERN MATCH AS IT TEAMS UP WITH MALBON Golf to unveil the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45mm x Malbon Golf Edition. This collaboration marks a significant moment in the world of golfing timepieces, blending TAG Heuer’s pioneering spirit in luxury connected watches with Malbon Golf’s innovative approach to golf fashion.

Since its foray into the connected watch space in 2015, TAG Heuer has established itself as a frontrunner, particularly with the golfing community, thanks to the Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition launched in 2022. The partnership with Malbon Golf, a brand that has quickly become synonymous with a creative and lifestyle-oriented approach to golf since its inception in 2017, heralds a fresh perspective on golfing apparel and accessories.

Redefining golf culture (and style, for that matter), the watch is equipped with the TAG Heuer Golf application, serving as a wrist-worn caddie that tracks shots, recommends clubs, and provides distance information — all without interrupting the game. With over 650,000 users, the application embodies a new era of golfing, where technology enhances the experience without overshadowing the essence of the game.

The design of the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45mm x Malbon Golf Edition speaks volumes about its golfing pedigree. It features a bezel marked with 18 points, representing each hole of a golf course, and showcases a vibrant mix of colors inspired by Malbon Golf’s branding. The lightweight Titan Grade II case with DLC coating, alongside the rubber and calfskin strap, underscores the watch’s readiness on and off the course.

This limited-edition watch introduces two unique watch faces, bringing the collaboration to life right on the wrist. The primary face displays the co-branded logo and an animated design, while the second draws inspiration from the iconic Heuer 02 design. The packaging further celebrates the partnership, with vibrant colors and co-branded logos adorning the box, complemented by additional straps and golf balls featuring the collaboration’s logo.

Expanding beyond the watch itself, TAG Heuer and Malbon have also collaborated on a capsule collection of golf-inspired merchandise, from performancefocused apparel to club covers, ultimately perfecting the ideal golf look.

2024 Aston Martin DB12

007 Never Had It So Good.

YOU LIKELY NOTICED THAT ASTON MARTIN HAS HAD A LONG RUN of cars starting with “DB.” That designation came from David Brown, the owner of the company from 1947. The company’s lineup has included a “DB”-branded car for more than 75 years.

The one-off, so to speak, in the run of numbers was the DB10 which, as it turns out, was made in very limited production (only ten units) for use in the 2014 James Bond film Spectre. That was quite the homage to a fifty-year collaboration between the James Bond films and the storied car manufacturer (the first such alliance being the DB5 in the 1964 film Goldfinger). Not long thereafter, the DB11 was announced, and it was a stunner. Large clamshell hood (all one piece with upper fenders attached, opening forward), as svelte as it was fast. So how to improve on that, which surprisingly has been around for over ten years? Behold the DB12.

This newest iteration of the Aston road kings dubbed by them as the “World’s First Super Tourer” is even more sculptural than its

predecessor. It’s a gorgeous machine but, even more surprisingly, it’s quicker, quieter, and even more comfortable than the DB11 that it replaces. It even was named car of the year by a prestigious car magazine, beating out the McLaren Artura and the Bentley Flying Spur Speed.

So, what does it take to create such a winner? Starting with the V8 motor, the DB12 has over 670 horsepower with 590 pound feet of torque, potent enough to motivate this big touring machine (weighing about two tons) from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. The twin-turbo engine is mated to a very slick eight-speed transmission an automatic trans which can be driven in manual mode with the paddle shifters. Thoughtfully, there’s even an exhaust-sound adjustment button and several driving modes GT, Sport, Sport+, Individual, and Wet. Needless to say, my normal start-up sequence includes the loud button, choosing the Sport+ mode, selecting the manual transmission and reducing (or completely turning off) the traction-control switch.

As a long-time devotee of the brand, I can say that Astons present several delights, including their sinuous lines and sleek, sumptuous curves. When opening the door, you get to experience the wafting sweet fragrance of premium leather and marvel at the beautiful tooling that presents interesting designs. Sliding into the driver’s seat, you feel coddled, almost like wearing a custom suit that’s well-made and fitted. And when firing up the motor, you can’t wait to drive off, at one with the machine, loving the ergonomics, sound, and speed.

While this two-plus-two (which, as usual, has a small back seat) coupe is heavier than many sports cars, the performance is impressive. With an impressive a top speed just north of 200 miles per hour, what struck me most was the way the car rode so smoothly, especially on uneven surfaces, and then handled through the corners like a slot car. No doubt, the 22-inch wheels help, but the new adaptive dampers and first-of-its-kind Aston e-differential get most of the credit. When added to the new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 S tires (developed specifically for the DB12) that include what’s become de rigueur — noise-cancelling foam inserts inside each tire — the DB12’s road-going manners are awesome. Often, power and performance are the enemy of calm and comfort, and vice versa, but this latest Aston does both so well that it truly is a grand tourer.

Another major improvement over the DB11 is that this newer model has its own switchgear, rather than having it come from the MercedesBenz parts bin, as Aston had done for many years. The result is that everything each driver touches is metal or leather-wrapped and feels substantial and luxurious. The new transmission seems slicker and smoother-shifting than the earlier version and the lower rear-end gearing makes for a quicker response time when accelerating. “My” DB12 had the optional Bowers & Wilkins 15-speaker 1,170-watt sound system, which added to the aural delights, especially as the car can be quiet enough to really enjoy the music, be it Billy Joel, Aaron Copland, Robbie Williams, The Fugs, or Blodwyn Pig (now that’s a playlist!)

As a side note, at press time for this story, I also was able to enjoy the drop-top version of this fine machine, the DB12 Volante, but that’s a tale for another time since the information embargo imposed on the Volante extends until after this article goes to press. Stay tuned, though, as it’s a real stunner.

I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you may not agree with my raves about the design of the DB12, but when coupled with exemplary performance, comfort, world-class handling, and more, the DB12 coupe is one of the top grand touring cars made today — a Super Tourer indeed.

THE FORMULA 1 EXPERIENCE

Where to stay in the lap of luxury as F1 races around the globe.

THE MIAMI GRAND PRIX, MAY 3-5

STAY AT: THE SETAI, MIAMI BEACH

For the three-year anniversary of Formula One’s arrival in Miami, simultaneously celebrate another milestone as the iconic, super-private property The Setai celebrates its 20th birthday. This ultra-luxe oceanfront escape on the fringes of South Beach is an Art Deco paradise, surrounded by palm trees, with three pools set to different temperatures; a private beach club; an award-winning spa in partnership with luxe skincare line Valmont; and a Clefs d’Or concierge team who can (appropriately) make magic happen in the Magic City. Just in time for the anniversary, the hotel has opened JAPÓN, a 1,000-square foot Japanese restaurant overlooking The Setai courtyard. 2001 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139

STAY AT: THE PENINSULA SHANGHAI

One of the most elevated places to stay while in Shanghai for the Grand Prix is the Peninsula Shanghai, located on the riverside Bund, with views of the Huangpu River and Pudong. This art deco masterpiece pays homage to the city’s past, specifically the 1920s and 1930s. It is an ideal place to stay at to watch all the action, in part because of its upscale offerings, which include an exquisitely appointed Azimut Verve 47 private yacht for breakfast or sunset cruises and chauffeured guided tours in one of the property’s fleets of Rolls-Royce Extended Wheelbase Phantoms, Peninsula Edition 7-series BMW cars, and bespoke MINI Cooper S Clubmans. There’s also Michelin starred dining at Cantonese eatery Yi Long Court and luxury shopping from brands such as Chanel, Harry Winston, and Brioni at the Peninsula Arcade.

THE GRAN PREMIO DELL’EMILIAROMAGNA “IMOLA” GRAND PRIX, BOLOGNA, MAY 17-19

STAY AT: GRAND HOTEL MAJESTIC GIÀ BAGLIONI

Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region is one of the go-to destinations for motorsport enthusiasts given that it is home to the Motor Valley as well as the Scuderia Ferrari and Visa Cash App RB Formula One Team. That said, absolutely go for the race, but make sure to enjoy the glorious beaches and haute cuisine that are at your disposal as well. The former can be found in spades at Bologna’s most prestigious hotel, the Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni, located in the heart of the city on Via dell’Indipendenza within walking distance of the famous Due Torri and Piazza Maggiore. This haute hotel was originally built as an archdiocesan seminary in the 18th century by order of Cardinal Prospero Lambertini, who later became Pope. It is an epic place to understand the past — whose story is told through the frescoed ceilings by Agostino, Annibale, and Ludovico Carracci at I Carracci restaurant — while enjoying the present with its modern amenities and stylish suites. Via dell’Indipendenza, 8, 40121 Bologna BO, Italy

MONACO GRAND PRIX, MONTE CARLO, MAY 23-26

STAY AT: HOTEL METROPOLE MONTE CARLO

With its location in the Carré d’Or, a few steps from the Casino and the Hercules port, right on the actual racetrack, Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo is the most exciting place to stay for Formula One’s most glamorous race. The prestigious hotel affords views of the cars — best seen from the terrace of Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac — as they exit Casino Square, race directly past the terrace, and brake hard to tackle the Mirabeau corner before disappearing into the Fairmont hairpin curve. But this elegant property offers so, so much more to affluent guests, inclusive of world-class cuisine from chef Christophe Cussac as well as the only Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant in Monaco at Yoshi; a spa by Givenchy; the stunning Odyssey pool designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld; as well as bespoke amenities like a Berluti shoeshine service. Check into the Azur suite during this year’s race for spectacular views of the track from the comfort of your room.

SPANISH GRAND PRIX, BARCELONA, JUNE 21-23

STAY AT: MANDARIN ORIENTAL, BARCELONA

Barcelona, Spain, is the ultimate party place, and race weekend at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is no exception: if anything, there’s even more to celebrate! This is why we’ve chosen a hotel that’s the complete antithesis to the party scene, an oasis of quiet luxury in bustling Barça. The Catalan experience is still provided here at the Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona with its unbeatable location on the famous Passeig de Gràcia, close to Gaudí’s Casa Batlló, just a short stroll away from Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, and the best fashion and design stores in the city. The hotel also boasts some sensational F&B outlets, inclusive of two Michelin starred eatery Moments from the multi-awarded chef Carme Ruscalleda and her son, Raül Balam; Banker’s Bar; Mimosa Garden; and rooftop terrace restaurant Terrat. Pg. de Gràcia, 38-40, L’Eixample, 08007 Barcelona, Spain

CANADIAN GRAND PRIX, MONTREAL, JUNE 7-9

STAY AT: FOUR SEASONS HOTEL MONTREAL

The Canadian Grand Prix takes place just across the St. Lawrence River from the Four Seasons Montreal at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, but trust us when we say it’s worth the trip around the city; this glittering new addition to Montreal’s Golden Square Mile is utterly gorgeous. Herringbone wood floors, huge marble bathrooms, and a surrealistic landscape of modern art are highlights of the property, which also features a Guerlain spa and the Marcus Restaurant + Terrace, an exciting play on the traditional brasserie concept from Miami-based chef Marcus Samuelsson. During the 2023 race, the hotel hosted some excellent F1-centric experiences, inclusive of an afternoon with Tiffany & Co., a Clase Azul tequila tasting, and a Holt Renfrew fashion presentation. The hotel even created its own custom race car-inspired pastry for the occasion. Top that. 1440 Rue de la Montagne, Montréal, QC H3G 1Z5, Canada

BRITISH GRAND PRIX, SILVERSTONE, JULY 4-7

STAY AT: CLIVEDEN HOUSE

The very first Formula One race in the world took place at Silverstone in 1950, and to this day, this particular track is still considered to be one of the very best. Take the word of Lewis Hamilton, who, in 2018, compared a flat-out lap here to flying a fighter jet. While the track is technically in Northamptonshire, for those who are used to a five-star experience, do make the hour-long trip to Berkshire’s Cliveden House (which is, in fact, an hour closer than London). It is a property with pedigree and history, and that’s keenly felt the moment upon arrival at this 376-acre National Trust site, where the first recital of “Rule, Britannia!” was played, and which has hosted every Royal monarch since George I. Come for the proximity to Silverstone, the historical significance — each of its 47 rooms as well as the main mansion is named for a past guest, such as George Bernard Shaw, the Duchess of Sutherland, Prince Albert, and Lord Astor — the boathouse and boats, the luxurious spa, and the over-the-top topiary displays.

HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX, BUDAPEST, JULY 19-21

STAY AT: MATILD PALACE, A LUXURY COLLECTION HOTEL

Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, is a great, central place in Budapest to take part in all the F1 action that’s just 13 miles away on the deft Hungaroring circuit. The property, though modernized, offers a breathtaking glimpse into the city’s past as a Belle Epoque-era palace, named after Her Imperial and Royal Highness Maria Klotild of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. As such, it’s no surprise that the most luxe accommodation is named after her majesty, with decor to match: a blend of modern and historical furniture, elegant chandeliers dripping with crystals, handmade glass mosaics, Calacatta Oro marble tubs, and parquet floors, with spectacular views of the Danube River just outside the hotel. The Royal experience is rounded out by dynamic dining and drinking offerings including Spago by Wolfgang Puck and The Duchess, a glamorous rooftop bar originally conceived as a secret liquor library for Hungarian socialites. Budapest, Váci u 36, 1056 Hungary

ITALIAN GRAND PRIX, MONZA, AUGUST 30 – SEPTEMBER 1

STAY AT: BULGARI HOTEL MILANO

The Italian Grand Prix is a very big deal in the F1 world, and though the race itself takes place in Monza (which first hosted the Italian Grand Prix in 1922 and became part of the official F1 calendar in 1950), we recommend staying in nearby Milan, the country’s fashion capital, a mere 10 miles away. There truly isn’t a more fashionable place to stay than the Buglari Hotel Milano, a couture property steps away from the city’s shopping hub of “Quadrilatero della moda” on via Fratelli Gabba, located near significant local landmarks like the Teatro alla Scala, Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga, and the Academia di Brera, in a gorgeously renovated 18th-century Milanese palazzo. Stay in the Bulgari Suite, with its ethereal rooftop garden, Murano glass chandeliers, Brera stone soaking tub, library, and private kitchen, for the most extravagant stay possible while enjoying amenities such as a shoeshine by Berluti service, cuisine courtesy of three-star Michelin chef Niko Romito, and a swimming pool with pure gold tiles to drive home the opulent esthetic. Via Privata Fratelli Gabba, 7B, 20121 Milano MI, Italy

SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX, SINGAPORE, SEPTEMBER 20-22

STAY AT: MARINA BAY SANDS SINGAPORE

When it comes to images of Singapore, there are very few as recognizable as Marina Bay Sands’ three majestic, interconnected towers. This integrated waterfront resort — which includes a 1,850-room hotel, a 1,300,000 square-foot convention and exhibition center, the 800,000 square-foot The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, a museum, one of the world’s largest rooftop infinity pools, a floating crystal pavilion, and a plethora of celebrity chef-driven eateries courtesy of Daniel Boulud, Gordon Ramsay, Wolfgang Puck, Tetsuya Wakuda, and more — is hands-down the one to beat. The property is currently in the midst of a massive renovation, now showcasing an esthetic that pays homage to the country’s multicultural vibe through decor inspired by Chinese screens akin to those found in a Peranakan shophouse, wool carpets featuring motifs similar to textiles found along Arab Street, and The Armoire, a bespoke minibar illustrated with a muted-gold chinoiserie pattern on shiny black lacquer that serves as an interpretation of “East meets West.” Meanwhile, the new Paiza Collection and Royal Paiza Collection suites are reserved for the property’s top VIPs. The Horizon suite features a spa zone with a Himalayan salt wall, hammam shower, heated ceramic lounge chairs, and treatment room with massage tables, while the Presidential suite is fully equipped with a state-of-the-art full swing golf simulator. The Chairman Suite is our personal favorite though — it has its very own karaoke room! 10 Bayfront Ave, Singapore 018956

UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX, AUSTIN, OCTOBER 18-20

STAY AT: THE LOREN AT LADY BIRD LAKE

Head to Austin’s hottest hotel, The Loren at Lady Bird Lake, for a stay that feels like a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of action downtown, but in reality, is a mere footbridge jaunt away. (For those who truly value their peace and quiet during the understandably hectic race days, it is a simply unbeatable location.) This gorgeous property is a glorified greenhouse in the park, complete with an art collection curated by Penny Aaron, destination rooftop restaurant Nido, the milk + honey spa, a 24/7-access fitness center, and, best of all, an expansive terrace with an infinity pool that overlooks the heart of Austin. 1211 W Riverside Dr, Austin, TX 78704

MEXICAN GRAND PRIX, MEXICO CITY, OCTOBER 25-27

STAY AT: ST. REGIS MEXICO CITY

Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, with its breathtaking views — named after Mexico’s most famous racing brothers, Ricardo and Pedro Rodriguez — is just east of the heart of Mexico City, but we recommend staying in CDMX’s most populous area, the tree-lined Paseo de la Reforma. Here lies the St. Regis Mexico City, elegant and imposing, soaring 31 stories high, offering up incredible views, creative cuisine, and some stellar experiences around Día de Muertos, which takes place just after F1 concludes. The property truly embraces Mexican culture, with a commitment to cuisine in the form of seven on-site outlets, inclusive of Diana Restaurant (named as such for its bird’s eye views of the nearby Diana the Huntress fountain), which typically offers an unmissable Day of the Dead brunch; King Cole Bar, which features a classic jazz night; and La Table Krug, an extraordinary eight-course experience that involves, of course, Krug champagne. Don’t miss the weekly sabrage ritual in the third floor atrium or, post-race, the property’s specialty “pan de muerto,” a traditional sweet bread with sugary orange glaze prepared specially for the Día de Muertos festivities. Av. P.º de la Reforma 439, Cuauhtémoc, 06500 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX, SÃO PAULO, NOVEMBER 1-3

STAY AT: ROSEWOOD SÃO PAULO

A Carnivale-like atmosphere seeps into the Formula One experience in Brazil at the Interlagos circuit, and that celebratory feel carries on at the Rosewood São Paulo, the hottest new hotel in the world’s fourth-largest city. This property — located at Cidade Matarazzo, a complex of elegantly preserved buildings from the early 20th century converted by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel into a mixed-use destination — is highlighted by a beautiful garden tower and striking interiors by Philippe Starck. Get away from it all at this true urban oasis surrounded by beautiful gardens and greenery, while enjoying all that it has to offer. Make sure to hit Blaise, a restaurant inspired by the life of modern art world icon Blaise Cendrars; the Brazilian jazz club Rabo di Galo; and Asaya, its comprehensive well-being concept. R. Itapeva, 435 - Bela Vista, São Paulo - SP, 01332-000, Brazil

LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX, NOVEMBER 21-23

STAY AT: WYNN LAS VEGAS

In its inaugural F1 year, the Las Vegas Strip saw more action than ever before, and nowhere seemed busier than the supremely elegant Wynn Las Vegas. This was, in fact, the only property to offer an official allaccess experience — and one with a price tag to match. For a cool $1 million, the Wynn curated a weekend for six that included entrance to the opening ceremony, luxurious accommodations, special amenities, and access to exclusive resort and F1 events such as The Netflix Cup, RM Sotheby’s Official Auction, the Grand Prix welcome party, the premiere party for Michael Mann’s film Ferrari, the prestigious Las Vegas Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, and a luxe Louis XIII pop-up, among others. For its second iteration, come for the sublime five-star service, and experience what’s new and hot, including a fresh new look at Japanese eatery, Mizumi; Alon Shaya’s latest restaurant, Safta 1964;and Awakening, a spectacle experience narrated by Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins. 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109

QATAR GRAND PRIX, DOHA, NOVEMBER 29 – DECEMBER 1

STAY AT: RAFFLES DOHA

Raffles Doha, Qatar’s only all-suite hotel, is a sublime place to stay during the Qatar race at Lusail, a circuit designed primarily with motorcycle racing in mind. Each of the suites at this luxe paradise, anchored between the desert and the sea, is enhanced with personalized butler service, as well as luxe amenities that include an exclusive scent from Frédéric Malle, a gallery wall with a collection of curated books, and an in-suite boutique. In 2023, the property offered a slew of F1 experiences at many of its seven dining outlets, including a McLaren Afternoon Tea experience at Malaki Lounge (complemented by a test drive); brunch at L’Artisan; an F1-themed dinner at three-star Michelin chef Enrico Crippa’s first overseas outpost, Alba; and an experience at Blue Cigar, a lounge which boasts 6,000 literary classics (including some first editions) alongside a bespoke cigar collection. The hotel also has advanced beauty and well-being offerings with nine spa and fitness suites, each equipped with their own state-of-the-art treatment rooms, some of which have private terraces and plunge pools. Marina District Lusail City, Doha, Qatar

ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX, YAS ISLAND, DECEMBER 5-8

STAY AT: W ABU DHABI - YAS ISLAND

Get ready for a thrilling, high-octane stay at the W - Yas Island, which is actually built above the racetrack of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, providing front row seats to this glitzy and glamorous race. Here, guests are greeted by Bedouin-inspired tents, seating inspired by local mangroves, custom-designed welcome desks meant to mimic oil droplets from racecars, and jewel-tone furnishings that convey the colors of liquid gold, a distinctive historic trade in Abu Dhabi. The hotel’s 499 guest rooms and suites offer plush amenities and floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views of the Grand Prix racetrack or the Yas Marina, though of course, the brand’s take on the presidential suite, the 1,342 square-foot Extreme Wow Suite, is the place to stay, with its own private lap pool and sauna. The auto theme even extends to the property’s eatery, Garage, and its health and wellness concept, FUEL. Yas IslandAbu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates

ON MARCH 6, DIOR BEAUTY INVITED HAUTE LIVING TO MISS DIOR Avenue, an immersive pop-up at the iconic 8626 Melrose Avenue, which offers an exclusive experience centered around the new Miss Dior Parfum by Francis Kurkdjian, Creation Director at Parfums Dior. At the heart of Miss Dior Avenue is the rich history and legacy of the Miss Dior fragrance, launched in 1947 by Christian Dior himself, with the idea in mind to capture the very essence of a generation eager to embrace life to the fullest. Now, with the new Miss Dior Parfum, Francis Kurkdjian once again demonstrates his unparalleled ability to reinterpret classic scents for the modern era. To celebrate the Maison’s major milestone, Dior Beauty hosted a grand opening, accompanied by a surprise musical performance by Banks, which followed an engaging set by DJ Karaba, both setting the tone for an unforgettable gathering. The event was attended by a number of celebrities and friends of Dior Beauty, including Maggie Rogers, Alexandra Shipp, Lucy Hale, and many others, all dressed in looks by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Kim Jones for Dior.
