Timothée Chalamet rarely gets grilled about his beauty routine. Still, there’s really no escaping the question of his exquisitely dishevelled hair. When we meet on a drizzly spring morning in New York, he’s ensconced in a squishy black leather armchair and dressed in all black – Nike tee, workwear pants, Craig Greene sneakers – and his gently mussed, side-parted curls are undeniably the main event. “You’re actually the first person to ask me about my hair. What’s the secret?” he repeats, bemused by my opener. “There really isn’t one. When I wake up, it’s a roll of the dice,” says…

At 77, Dame Helen Mirren looks even more radiant than when she first appeared on the scene back in the ’80s. Most of which she puts down to confidence – the kind you can only get with age. “Your life as you get older gets fuller,” she says. “You get wiser, too, inevitably, because you know more stuff.”It is this confidence that will see her through her upcoming red carpet appearances at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, where she’s attending with L’Oréal Paris. She attended the grand opening and premiere of Jeanne du Barry on the first night of the festival with striking…

Bright silver may be Dame Helen Mirren’s above-the-neck calling card, but even the most practised (and covetable) aesthetic deserves a shake-up every now and then. Mirren arrived at Cannes Film Festival today with her lengths pinned in an elegant updo – and coloured a multi-faceted shade of ocean blue.Mirren chose a cool blue manicure to match her gown, with added ice in the form of diamond jewellery. But rather than relying on her sterling silver mane to round out the look, the actor put her characteristically elegant spin on 2023’s obsession with all things mermaid, unveiling hair in shades of…

Celebrity beauty lines abound, but there’s always room for royalty. Beyoncé took to Instagram today to tease a forthcoming hair-related announcement, the enterprise rooted in family and salon culture. The three-part carousel featured a present-tense Queen Bey and a mane of natural curls, a younger Beyoncé having her side-swept cornrows tended to (likely at her mother’s hands), and a thoughtful message about the launch — and the meaning behind it.“How many of ya’ll know that my first job was sweeping hair in my mama’s salon?” began Beyoncé, who went on to note that Destiny’s Child got its start performing for…

In a contemporary context, Gucci has mastered the art of melding streetwear sensibilities with elements of regalia, a medley of higher-than-highbrow and inherent accessibility that commands close attention – down to the placement of each jaunty accessory and shimmering detail.
