Jennifer Aniston in Vanity Fair September Says Hollywood's Female Alliance Is Strong

Actor Jennifer Aniston covers the September 2025 issue of Vanity Fair [IG], sitting for a major interview with Julie Miller 20 years after her divorce from Brad Pitt.

Aniston is styled by Paul Cavaco in Balenciaga, Gucci, Loro Piana, Rabanne, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, Schiaparelli and more. The actor wears Bulgari High Jewelry in images by Norman Jean Roy [IG].

Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock are close friends, and the most interesting parts of the interview focus on changes in Hollywood regarding women’s power and influence.

“We were from that time in the business where no one wanted the ladies to be friends—it was about pitting everyone against each other,” Sandra Bullock says. “We were told we weren’t supposed to do that—meaning like and respect and honor each other.”

The Oklahoma Heiress Who Says She Can’t Get a Fair Shake from Nantucket Losers

The Oklahoma Heiress Who Says She Can’t Get a Fair Shake from Nantucket Losers

Oklahoma influencer Kylie Swanson is making tiny waves for the Wall Street Journal Magazine, lensed by Cahline Tompkins [IG]. I don’t actually understand why this Nantucket minor dustup is relevant to WSJ Style [IG] August 2025 issue, except to use it to appeal to more MAGA-loving readers.

Kylie Swanson presents herself as a luxury-loving heiress from Norman, OK, whose set for her social media posts are the places where she’s house sitting with her husband and child.

Readers know how meticulous AOC is in researching stories. We are empty-handed in validating any aspects of Kylie Swanson’s story. We’re not alone.

Anne Talks Louis Vuitton Men Pre-Fall 2025 Collection and Dior Men Spring 2026

Flaunt Magazine [IG] Issue 199, ‘Fleeting Twilight’ shares key looks from the Louis Vuitton Men’s Pre-Fall 2025 Collection. Creative Director Pharrell Williams previewed the collection in Miami December 2024, with the upcoming Met Gala dandy aesthetic on his mind.

I just reviewed again Jonathan Anderson’s swoon-worthy debut men’s collection for Christian Dior, and like Pharrell, he also tapped the ‘young aristocrats’ trend. Anderson added skirts for men and nipping his waists with overtly-femme swagger and white bow ties.

Louis Vuitton Men Compared to The Absolutely-Brilliant Jonathan Anderson Dior Mens Debut

Pharrell played his ties straight and long, Anderson likes bows. Both designers did white ties and the Louis Vuitton man does go to the office to afford his wardrobe preferences. He’s a working man. Anderson’s Dior man is a trust fund kid — or maybe the growing number of men — at least in America — living at home with parents.

Dandyism is a design key to writing about both collections — Dior Spring 2026 and Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2025. Yes, Pharrell was off to India with lean and long fluidity for his Spring 2026 collection, which AOC loved.

Malala Yousafzai Brings Wit and Grit to GQ Hero Interview, Lensed by Elizaveta Porodina

Shot-in-the head while sitting on her school-bus in 2012, Taliban gunman survivor Malala Yousafzai was among the British GQ Heroes 2025 honored in early July. AOC notes that Brunello Cucinelli was also among the artists, activists and radical thinkers at the two-day event and on the cover of British GQ’s special issue. We must track him down.

GQ’s interview by Adam Baidawi launches on a private practice golf range an hour southeast of London. And she is giving him instructions.

The Uncomfortable Truths for Activists

Much of the interview is devoted to all the back-sliding happening around the world on women’s rights — and especially in Afghanistan, where Malala is deeply involved in girl’s education. And how activism has gone lukewarm in many countries around the world.

Badawai asks a critical question:

What’s an uncomfortable truth about the work that you do?

Vogue Philippines Explores Wanderlust and AOC Erupts with Discovery of DRD4-7R Gene

Vogue Philippines Explores Wanderlust and AOC Erupts with Discovery of DRD4-7R Gene

The July-August 2025 issue of Vogue Philippines [IG] feeds our wanderlust desire, a trait not experienced by all humans in the same way.

As always, AOC is on the hunt for new discovery and we found a lollapalooza-size surprise. There is a probable link between wanderlust and the DRD4-7R gene variant. Who knew?

In the fashion story ‘Brighter Days’, models Sandra Drifter, Brett Prendergast and Bronson Garel explore the fields of California, styled by Soaree Choen in vintage, Gucci, Kaiane Designs, Marni, Ronny Kobo, The Row and more.

Clearly, the terrain at Elizabeth Lake in the Sierra Pelona Mountains — pictured here — helped to create images awash in wildflowers, draped in sun-washed silks, retro tailoring, and a warm haze of memory captured eloquently in images by Charles Lu [IG]. / Makeup by Monique Mazer; hair by Terri Walker

Vogue France August 2025 Goes into the Wilderness Where Bikinis Rule. Say what?

We meet models Jessie Aina, Mia Armstrong and Paula Soares ‘Sur La Route’ to somewhere important. It seems like a good moment to say that Vogue France [IG] has improved infinitely in 2025 under the direction of Claire Thomson-Jonville [IG].

It’s one of the most visually-obvious media transformations in years, and she deserves praise for her efforts, her instincts, and her outreach. I’m sure she didn’t accomplish this change flying solo — but Thomson-Jonville is the hub of the wheel.
