Schiaparelli Puts Black Lipstick Back On The Map at Couture
When it comes to beauty, Schiaparelli never disappoints. From Kendall Jenner's runway bouffant—the one that sparked a thousand big hair ideals—to Pat McGrath's crystalized 'chandelier face' (both in the brand's spring/summer 2024 show), there's always a bounty of beauty inspiration to take away. It makes sense, then, that for the autumn/winter 2025 couture show, the brief would be no different: Striking, moment-making beauty that requires a second look to glean every last detail. Hot on the heels of Sunday's glittering Le Bal d'Été, Schiaparelli presented a glamorous, ethereal take on modern beauty, keyed by the pairing of makeup artist Dame Pat McGrath and hairstylist Guido Palau. Schiaparelli's autumn/winter 2025 couture show. Photographed by Acielle/Style Du Monde 'It's almost a study of black and white photography,' McGrath shares, speaking to Vogue backstage. 'So, as we always do at Schiaparelli, the skin is very angelic and highlighted with beautiful, gleaming skin texture with the glass skin spray (the Skin Fetish Glass 001) on the cheekbone area alone.' For the eyes, which were noticeably devoid of much adornment, McGrath used just one lick of her Pat McGrath Labs Fetisheyes Mascara on models' lashes.

Book Review: Ruth Ware revisits old characters in new thriller, 'The Woman in Suite 11'
Ruth Ware's new thriller 'The Woman in Suite 11' is a sequel of sorts to her breakout hit of 2016, 'The Woman in Cabin 10.' Will you enjoy it more if you read the first book? Yes. Or you can wait until the Netflix version of 'The Woman in Cabin 10' starring Keira Knightley comes out this fall, and then read 'The Woman in Suite 11.' Most of the main characters who survived the first book return, led by Lo Blacklock, a decade older and raising a pair of sons in Brooklyn. She's now happily married to Judah and she wrote a book called 'Dark Waters' about her ordeal aboard the cruise ship Aurora (the plot of 'Cabin 10'). She knows motherhood won't last forever, and so when she's presented with the opportunity to rekindle her travel writing career by visiting a luxury hotel in Geneva, she jumps at the chance. The hotel is owned by a reclusive European billionaire named Marcus Leidmann, and once Lo convinces the Financial Times she can deliver a profile, it's off to Switzerland, where Ware throws the thriller switch and readers are taken on a ride across the European continent, eventually ending up in England for the story's climax. Lo's voice is the best part of the book. She's a mom now, so her sarcasm is tempered a little by maternal compassion, but she still reads like she'd be a great hang. Here she is looking out the window of a car as it drives through the countryside: 'The villages were almost absurdly cute, in that Swiss cuckoo-clock style of ornate wooden fretwork and sparkling paint… I half expected a nun to come running out from the trees and break into song.' It's difficult to write much more about the plot without spoiling it, but Ware stays inside Lo's head throughout, as she analyzes the intent of everyone's actions and weighs her options. The tension builds steadily as she encounters various characters from the first book and begins to piece together what is happening. The story is peppered with multiple references and echoes back to 'The Woman in Cabin 10,' another reason to read or watch it first before cracking open this new novel. Once you do, you'll settle into the rhythm of a Ware thriller. Many chapters end with snippets from websites or other sources that tease forward the plot, practically forcing you to turn the page and learn how it all happened. ___ AP book reviews:

Dua Lipa Goes Full (Couture) Bride at Schiaparelli
Here comes the bride, all dressed in…Schiaparelli couture. Today in Paris, Dua Lipa joined the likes of Hunter Schafer, Cardi B (and her raven companion), and Cooper Koch in the front row at Daniel Roseberry's fall 2025 haute couture singer, who confirmed her engagement to British actor Callum Turner on last month's cover of British Vogue, channeled her inner bride-to-be in a white dress. She opted for a floor-dusting long-sleeve covered in featherlike paillettes of various sizes that rustled with every move. The dress was complete with structured shoulders, a thigh-high front slit, and a large keyhole cutout at her sternum.
