The French have an approach to wellbeing that often seems at odds with America’s. An example is this December 2025 French Vogue [IG] fashion story that focuses not on supplements or gentle exercise.
Rather, the French are always game to add lingerie and jewelry to a wellness feature. Model Rosalieke Fuchs is lensed by Maxime La [IG].

American actor Diane Lane takes one of many covers, wearing Fendi on her cover of Flaunt Magazine [IG] #201-2025. The issue’s theme is ‘Get in the Ring’. “We never unlive our past” Lane explains, about her late-October 2025 release political thriller ‘Anniversary’.
The ‘Anniversary’ reviews were excellent, but because the film’s distributor Lionsgate released it against other really big movies like ‘Wicked for Good’ and failed to promote the movie with any goals of success, ‘Anniversary’ is not a success at the box office. AOC never heard a word about it.
The Hollywood Reporter review sums up the movie: 'Anniversary' Review: Diane Lane and Kyle Chandler Lead a Stupendous Cast in a Family's-Eye View of Authoritarian Politics.
Diane Lane’s CBS interview is highly informative about all the twists and turns of the movie ‘The Anniversary’.

British designer Sarah Burton is totally honest, speaking with William Middleton for W Magazine [link] two days before her second showing as Givenchy’s creative director.
The interview is part of a Givenchy fashion story ‘Strength and Sensibility’ featuring Burton’s hand-picked, super-femme model and actor Kaia Gerber. Camilla Nickerson styles the fashion shoot lensed by Craig McDean [IG].
Kaia signed on in November to play her mother Cindy Crawford opposite Homer Gere, son of Richard Gere. The new TV show ‘The Shards’ arrives 30 years after Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere's divorce and will play on the FX platform.
“When we think of how to empower a woman, she’s often put in a suit or something constructed, something male,” Burton says. “Instead, I was looking at female iconography and how it can be used to make a woman feel incredibly powerful. I wanted to look at sexuality and sensuality, revealing bits of the body in certain ways.”
