LA LADY • LORRAINE NICHOLSON on being raised by the Hollywood wolves

First BLUSH • On a 1910 sourcing expedition to Madagascar, Tiffany & Co.’s chief gemologist George Kunz discovered a new stone, a cousin to emerald and aquamarine tinted Turkish delight pink. He dubbed it morganite in honor of one John Pierpont Morgan—financier by trade, gemstone collector at heart. And while its popularity has been widespread since, Bulgari creative director Lucia Silvestri’s Mediterranea collection, which features seven morganite pieces, is the first time the color-happy house has incorporated it with such gusto. (A new sibling handshake between LVMH’s two premier jewelers, perhaps.) Amid a gemstone rainbow, the warm pink stands out for its ability to offset the crispness of brilliant-cut diamonds, as shown here in the house’s trademark Serpenti earrings. Surely, Mr. Morgan would approve.

Princess DIARIES • Audiences are bidding The Crown farewell upon its final season, but the royal family’s ultimate style icon endures: Tailored denim, prim cable knits, and a little black (revenge) dress will never go out of fashion

Free BIRD • A stylish new film celebrates the enigmatic sex researcher Shere Hite

Scents of STYLE • “I see fragrance as an extension of my wardrobe,” says Victoria Beckham, whose collection this fall goes beyond deconstructed trench coats and plush turtlenecks to include three debut scents. “You are tapping into all the senses when smell becomes a factor. It’s how you dress yourself.” There is merit to having a signature perfume—an aide-mémoire that lingers in your absence—but a cache of design-minded fragrances makes the case for a sartorial array. Here, six tastemakers riff on their creations, imagining which clothing item best reflects what’s worn on the wrist.

Hot SHOT • Clippers point guard RUSSELL WESTBROOK keeps it stylish on and off the court

Fight SONGS • In a crowded field of political books, POTUS 45 looms

SIX PACK • Inventive novels explore love and loss—without clichés

Hot Seat • In her new memoir, discomfort queen Ziwe gets personal.

Reign SUPREME • Chief Justice John Roberts insists he’s taken the reins of the Supreme Court. But the institution may be too far gone

When Sunset’s NOT SELLING • With its power creatives on strike, a hefty new mansion tax, and insurers fleeing, LA’s fanciest properties are at a standstill

THE STREISAND EFFECT • At home with the legend, talking music, movies, and her revealing new memoir, My Name Is Barbra

The Way We Made THE WAY WE WERE

THE ROTHSCHILD WHO WASN’T • Charming, enterprising, and fabulously wealthy: KYLE DE ROTHSCHILD DESCHANEL was a New York sensation who lived on a 24/7 carousel of mega-dollar deals and raucous parties. Then his best friend found an ID labeled “ARYEH DODELSON”

ATSUKO ALL THE WAY • Thanks to her singular energy and her many viral videos—not to mention her trademark bowl cut, which inspires fans to buy wigs for her shows—Atsuko Okatsuka has become one of the most beloved stand-up comics around

THE MOON SHOT • It can be hard to remember after years of collective grief and bitter politics, but a COVID-19 vaccine was never a sure thing. Joe Nocera and Bethany McLean report on the unlikely group of scientists, generals, and government officials who supercharged the effort to get us...
