Grace Elizabeth wows on Elle’s new digital cover

New mom Grace Elizabeth is the picture of springtime sunshine as she models this season’s must-haves for Elle. To accompany her shoot and digital cover, Elizabeth speaks candidly about finding her footing since giving birth after keeping her pregnancy a surprise. The Florida-based supermodel shares how being part of a fashion-world baby boom has given her a group of fellow runway regular moms—including Gigi Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski—with whom she can talk about parenting in an unvarnished way. She also talks about the joys and guilt of motherhood, how parenting shifted her priorities and spurred her to advocacy for ovarian cancer awareness, inspired by her mother who was diagnosed with the disease in 2018.

Instagram vs reality! Bella Hadid opens up about anxiety and why she’s ditched her stylist

As part of WSJ. Magazine’s My Monday Morning series, Bella Hadid got real about what’s been going on behind the scenes. The model discussed the importance of her daily morning routine, saying that she realizes now that “[her] body is a temple” and so exercise and meditation are taking a front seat. Interestingly, Hadid revealed that she has not had a stylist for the past two years. She explained: “In the last year, it was really important for me to learn that even if people talk about my style or if they like it or if they don’t, it doesn’t matter, because it’s my style. When I leave the house in the morning, what I think about is: Does this make me happy?” As for the crying selfies, on the topic of her mental health the 25-year-old said that the pictures started as a way for her to let friends and family know she wasn’t in a place to communicate at that moment. “[When I posted them] it was to make sure that anybody that was feeling that way knew it was OK to feel that way. Even though on Instagram things look so beautiful, at the end of the day, we are all cut from the same cloth.”

LVMH invests in Aimé Leon Dore

And if you need more proof that luxury is increasingly paying attention to the leading streetwear brands of today, LVMH Luxury Ventures has taken a minority stake in New York label Aimé Leon Dore. The Nolita-based brand, founded by Queens-native Teddy Santis, is best known for its sneaker collaborations with New Balance and clothes and accessories inspired by New York City itself.

Attention, brides. Bridal brand Pronovias doesn’t want you to leave your gown hanging in the back of the closet.
