4 LEND ME YOUR EARS Thanks to their bold colorways, THAT’S LADY GAGA: GOTHAM/GC/GETTY IMAGES; REMAINING IMAGES: COURTESY OF THE DESIGNERS AND BRANDS. AMORE “I’m just an Italian girl from New York,” singer, songwriter, actress, and beauty entrepreneur Lady Gaga has famously said in numerous interviews, including this month’s exclusive chat with ELLE about Haus Laboratories’ newest drop, the 16-piece Casa Gaga Italian Glam beauty collection. “My approach [has been] influenced by my heritage, by my mother, my grandmothers, and the way they did their makeup,” she says. “I wanted to give everybody a feeling of what it was like for me to grow up with Italian glamour in my household.” Other Italian women who inspired the new launch: jewelry designer Elsa Peretti, actress Sophia Loren, and socialite Patrizia Reggiani, whom Gaga portrays in the upcoming film House of Gucci. Gaga wore the Casa Gaga products while filming in Italy last spring, so she can attest to them being “stage-, screen-, and life-proof.” Haus Laboratories Casa Gaga Italian Glam Collection, starts at $20, hauslabs.com. 18

Choose your accessories wisely. It’s hard to believe 40 years have passed since Carolina Herrera launched her namesake brand at New York’s Metropolitan Club. For fall, creative director Wes Gordon provided a fitting tribute to the house’s roots, piling on the sequins and princess sleeves. Also channeling the decade’s OTT energy were Prabal Gurung, Markarian, and NYFW newcomer Wolk Morais, with gala-ready jewel-tone satin numbers and glam sets that seemed practically made for Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire of the Vanities socialites. Bring the look home with a bold red-and-gold vide poche from Hermès (perfect for receiving gilt-edged invitations); Celine’s gleaming brass lighter cover; or some well-placed, weighty candlesticks, à la Nelia Barletta de Cates’s former Paris apartment, top right. A few more finishing touches: Victoria Beckham Beauty’s glittery blue eye shadow, and diamanté-covered mules from Carolyne Roehm’s go-to designer Manolo Blahnik (one of his best-selling slingbacks bears the name of the icon of ’80s excess).—NAOMI ROUGEAU 26

With award shows back in full force, red-carpet fashion is as well. Nick Remsen finds that a year-plus of virtual appearances meant that stars and their stylists got more comfortable tak- ing fashion risks, a state of affairs that’s now leading to envelope-pushing IRL style. On page 48, he talks to some of the best in the business about the return of statement fashion. And speaking of state- ments, our overview of one of the stron- gest couture seasons yet—from archival homages at Balenciaga and Schiaparelli to up-and-comers like Miss Sohee and Charles de Vilmorin—is on page 41. Two conversation-starting fea- tures anchor this month’s issue. Alyssa Schwartz writes about her experience with perimenopause, one of the most under-discussed topics in women’s health, and why it’s so crucial that we talk about it openly. And Molly Langmuir delivers a meticulously reported feature on the military’s intimate-partner-violence problem, exemplified by the story of Airman Natasha Aposhian, who was murdered by a fellow airman just two weeks into their relationship. Aposhian’s compelling tale has become part of a broader reckoning, as Congress now contemplates enacting policy to protect women in the military—a decision that has the potential to save lives. @NINAGARCIA NINAGARCIA @NINAGARCIAOFFICIAL 32
