Look 62, Balenciaga's fall 2021 collection—it was all the convincing I needed. The penultimate look in Balenciaga's long-awaited couture debut was a tour de force of a black-tie ensemble: As seen from the front, the lady wears a 1950s-esque icy satin A-line gown featuring metallic embroideries.

Dunham explains, "I'm immune compromised, so I take COVID restrictions really seriously." The pair got married under a chuppah covered in over-dyed, technicolor flowers where they exchanged vows they wrote themselves. "Lu did some really amazing Spanish-accented Hebrew that ha...

But for his final portrayal of Bond in No Time To Die (out October 8), N.Peal designed the handsome, retro-inspired top and bottom exclusively for the new movie. N.Peal "We wanted to give Bond a unique look in specific scenes of the film," No Time to Die  costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb explains.  MGM "And yet the piece had to be action-ready. It needed to be a strong silhouette, something that harks back to his military past and which also had a timeless quality to it as well."  N.Peal The N...
