Inès Longevial Brings it Back to the Body in ‘Skin of a Storm'
ForInès Longevial, a body is a home. It's an ethos reflected in her self-portraiture – diaristic captures, rich with washes of crimson, chantilly and ultramarine. Her current solo exhibition atAlmine Rechin Tribeca distills this spirit into a sublime study of skin as the French artist takes her portraits to new heights.
Pace and process groundSkin of a Storm. Central to the exhibition is a suite of new oil paintings, many of which were completed in a one-sitting 'flow-state' as Lynn Maliszewski' describes in a recent press statement. 'The female form becomes a surface littered with subtle footnotes, like an odd wrinkle in a pleated skirt or the deep crease of a dog-earred page.' Longevial filters subjects through her own myopic vision, resulting in self-portraits that feel luminous, alive and unapologetic; skin that is unconcerned with viewer's gaze and rather relishes in her own.
A set of drawings see an arresting shift, with deadpan eyes meeting the audience head-on. Facial features become one with sharp pliés and ballet slippers, snakes and butterflies, suggesting themes of transformation, myth-making and the dream of freedom. Also on view for the first time are pairs of monotypes, a lesser shown aspect of Longevial's practice. While initially appearing as 'identical twins,' closer inspection reflects a life in flux where 'skin narrates the artist's relation to her changing world – stretching, sagging, morphing and reflecting altercations or victories no one could know the true depth of.'
Skin of a Stormis now onviewin New York through August 1. In addition to the exhibition, Visage Théâtre, a new publication of Longevial's drawings and poems is nowavailablevia Almine Rech Editions for $42 USD.

Nail Trend 2025 – Discover the Latest Nail Fashion Styles
The beauty world is evolving rapidly, and as we step into a new year, one of the most talked-about topics is the nail trend 2025. Nails have become a powerful form of self-expression, and this year's trends combine modern design, personal style, and sustainability. From high-shine metallics to minimalist art and earth-conscious choices, nail fashion is taking a bold new direction in 2025. A major shift in nail trend 2025 is the increasing demand for eco-friendly nail products. People are more conscious than ever about what they use on their bodies, and this extends to nail care. Vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic polishes are becoming mainstream. Brands are focusing on biodegradable packaging, plant-based ingredients, and clean beauty standards, helping beauty enthusiasts look good while protecting the planet. Originally made popular by celebrities like Hailey Bieber, glazed donut nails are back with even more variations in 2025. This nail trend features soft, pearlescent finishes that look elegant and luminous. New shades like lavender, mint, and peach add a twist to the classic chrome shine, making it a favorite for those who love a subtle yet stylish look. Nail designs are no longer just flat surfaces. In 2025, 3D nail art is booming. From raised gel swirls to embedded jewels, pearls, and even sculpted flowers, these designs add texture and a dramatic touch. It's a perfect choice for weddings, events, or those who enjoy artistic and luxurious details. This year, bold color palettes are trending across all nail lengths and shapes. Neon green, cobalt blue, hot pink, and deep orange are top choices. These shades are often mixed and matched across different nails or combined with geometric art for a modern, playful vibe. The classic French tip has transformed in 2025. Instead of white tips, people are opting for colorful, glittery, or metallic French tips, often with unexpected combinations like matte bases and glossy tips. This fresh take adds variety to a timeless look, making it adaptable for both casual and formal wear. Simplicity remains stylish with the rise of micro nail art—tiny dots, fine lines, or small icons delicately painted on pastel backgrounds. This trend is perfect for minimalists who want their nails to be neat but still fashion-forward. The nail trend 2025 is all about versatility, creativity, and conscious beauty. Whether you prefer a bold design that turns heads or a minimalist look with clean ingredients, this year's trends invite you to express yourself while embracing innovation and sustainability. Your nails are not just accessories—they're tiny canvases for personal expression in the most fashionable way. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Chargers will be looking 🔥— or maybe like Minions — in 2025 alternate uniforms
The Chargers are going for the gold this season. Or are they going for the mustard bottle? Or the banana? Fans will be able to figure that out for themselves this fall when the team debuts its 'Charger Power' uniforms, one of two alternate looks revealed by the team Tuesday that will be worn during the 2025 season. The Chargers also announced that they now have the option to wear powder blue pants with their regular jerseys, which are powder blue at home and white on the road. The Charger Power look features yellowish gold jerseys with matching pants, to be worn with the regular white helmet. 'If you're going to do gold, the way we did it with all gold, it looks amazing,' Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. said in a team news release. 'It's a great alternate!' When the Bolts don the uniforms Oct. 19 against the Indianapolis Colts at SoFi Stadium, it will be the first time Chargers players have worn gold jerseys in a game. Fans, however, have had the opportunity to wear them in the past. 'Nike had previously done a retail version of the 2020 jerseys in gold,' A.G. Spanos, the Chargers' president of business operations, said in a statement. 'It sold quite well and had really good word of mouth. In fact, in my own household, it was my kids' favorite uniform. It definitely appeals to the younger demographic.' The look has already garnered plenty of online reactions. One longtime fan, who appreciated the nod to the yellow 'Charger Power' T-shirts worn by Bolts faithful in the late 1970s and early 1980s, wrote on X that the uniforms are 'simply beautiful.' Retired NFL offensive lineman and current Amazon football analyst Andrew Whitworth spoke from experience after wearing similarly colored alternative uniforms on occasion during his time with the Rams. 'Been there done this,' Whitworth wrote on X. 'Had me out there looking like Big Bird!' The Minions, the cartoon characters from the 'Despicable Me' film franchise, seemed to like the uniforms ... though perhaps not for how they'll look on an NFL field. 'the new recruits look so cool,' the fictional creatures wrote on X in response to a team post highlighting the Charger Power look. Cam Jordan, a defensive end for the New Orleans Saints, had a more critical take, posting on X: 'Gold!???? Nah that's ... French's! That is mustard yellow…' One X user compared the look to that of a popular novelty baseball team. 'We look like damn Savannah Bananas,' the fan wrote. 'At least the Navy's are [fire emoji].' The latter part of that post referred to the team's second set of alternate duds: the Super Chargers uniforms. They feature navy blue jerseys, pants and helmets and are meant as a 'modern throwback' to the San Diego Chargers' look from 1992 to 2006 — a span that included the organization's only Super Bowl appearance, following the 1994 season. 'When you saw that jersey, more than likely you were in Qualcomm Stadium,' retired running back LaDainian Tomlinson, who played for the Chargers from 2001 to 2009, said in the team's news release. 'And, more than likely, if you were on the other team in that era you were leaving with a loss.' The Super Chargers uniforms will debut during the team's 'Thursday Night Football' game against the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 23, the same night the Chargers will be inducting former safety Rodney Harrison into the team's Hall of Fame. The uniforms will be worn again Nov. 30 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Wine experts reveal which celeb rosé — from Meghan Markle, Cameron Diaz, Jon Bon Jovi and Brad Pitt — is the best
Meghan Markle's acting career might have peaked with 'Suits,' but she's besting A-Listers with her new wine. In a blind taste test, Markle's As Ever rosé beat out pink vinos from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jon and Jesse Bon Jovi. 'This wine is good enough to be poured at Buckingham Palace,' said Christian Bendek, a certified sommelier from downtown Brooklyn who was part of a panel of top New York City wine experts The Post assembled for a tasting of celebrity wines. Markle's As Ever 2023 Napa Valley rosé swirled into the crowded celeb stunt wine space on July 1 — on what would have been Princess Diana's 64th birthday — selling out within an hour of its launch. The rosy sipper, which retails for $30 and is made from a blend of cabernet sauvignon, mourvedre, grenache and syrah grapes, is described on the As Ever website as having 'soft notes of stone fruit' with 'gentle minerality' and 'reminiscent of the finest Provencal styles.' 6 Meghan Markle's As Ever 2023 Napa Valley rosé hit the crowded celeb stunt wine market on July 1 — on what would have been Princess Diana's 64th birthday — selling out within an hour of its launch. JAKE ROSENBERG/NETFLIX 6 Markle's pink wine, which retails for $30, is made from a blend of cabernet sauvignon, mourvedre, grenache and syrah grapes. It's described on the As Ever website as having 'soft notes of stone fruit' with 'gentle minerality' and 'reminiscent of the finest Provencal styles.' Panelist Nikki McCutcheon, a sommelier and the wine director at Tao Group's Cathedrale and Sake No Hanna, said the rich and complex wine is worth its $30 price tag. 'It has a touch of cherry red fruit on the finish,' she enthused. 'This you could drink on its own or paired with food. It could pair very well with French, Mediterranean food. This one gets a star.' Bendek described the wine as 'coconut-ty, very tropical' and said it was more 'interesting' than many celebrity entries. The panel's second favorite wine was Miraval Rosé Cotes de Provence ($24.99). The French vineyard was purchased by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in 2008 and has been a $500 million sticking point in their nasty divorce battle. 6 In a blind taste test, Markle's new As Ever rosé (far right) beat out four other celebrity pink vinos. Other contenders included Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Miraval (from left), Jon and Jesse Bon Jovi's Hampton water, Cameron Diaz's Invivo X, SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker and Cameron Diaz's Avaline. Emmy Park for NY Post But there's no drama in the easy drinking wine. 'It's really approachable. Nice minerality,' McCutcheon said of the widely available quaff, which is made with grenache, syrah and rolle grapes from the Provence region of France. Panelist Chris Miller, the managing partner at The Lamb's Club and co-founder of the Times Square wine window, also deemed it an 'approachable' summer sipper but said it 'needs more of a backbone.' (The same cannot be said for either Pitt or Jolie's divorce lawyer.) Our panel also liked the aptly named Hampton Water ($25.99) from Jon Bon Jovi and son Jesse Bon Jovi, rating the rock star rosé third. 6 The Post enlisted a panel of wine experts and sommeliers, including Chris Miller (from left), the managing partner at The Lamb's Club and co-founder of the Times Square wine window; Nikki McCutcheon, a sommelier and the wine director at Tao Group's Cathedrale and Sake No Hanna; and Christian Bendek, a certified sommelier from downtown Brooklyn. Emmy Park for NY Post Miller picked up on the wine's strawberry flavors, dubbing it 'crisp' and 'refreshing.' 'It's enjoyable,' McCutcheon said. Bendek immediately knew what he was drinking.'This is Hampton Water,' he declated after one sip. When it came to Sarah Jessica Parker's Invivo ($23.99), panelist couldn't help but wonder why the 'Sex and the City' star's wine wasn't better. 6 'This wine is good enough to be poured at Buckingham Palace,' said Bendek of Markle's pink wine. JAKE ROSENBERG/NETFLIX Miller noted it was 'not as refreshing' as some of the competition and wasn't suited for drinking on its own. Bendek was diplomatic but hardly enthusiastic. 'I don't hate it. Would I buy it? I don't know … How much would I pay for it? I'd keep it in the $15 range,' he said. 'The acid levels are a little higher here.' But it was Cameron Diaz's Avaline rosé ($19.99) that really missed the mark. 6 'It has a touch of cherry red fruit on the finish,' McCutcheon said of Markle's wine. 'This you could drink on its own or paired with food. It could pair very well with French, Mediterranean food. This one gets a star.' Emmy Park for NY Post It's 'a little dull' and 'missing something on the nose,' said Bendek of the last place winner, which is made in France and marketed as being organic and free of added sugar and artificial colors. Miller called the 'There's Something About Mary' star's vino 'very one dimensional' and not something he'd recommend serving to aficionados. McCutcheon agreed. 'This is for the masses,' he sniffed.
