The marathon that is Awards Season (at least for those of us with jobs in media) finally came to its close last night. As has become tradition, the Run-Through podcast hosts, along with colleagues Taylor Antrim and Christian Allaire, gathered early on this foggy morning to discuss their takes on the 98th Academy Awards. The conversation started off with everyone’s best dressed picks. For Chioma, this included Wunmi Mosaku who dazzled in her sparkling emerald green Louis Vuitton dress. The list of best dressed also included Renate Reinsve, another star in Louis Vuitton, and Gwenyth Paltrow in Armani Privé who both sported dramatic slits. Slits were just one of the fashion trends making a splash on last night's red carpet, reminding editors of Angelina Jolie’s internet-breaking dress slit at the 2012 ceremony. Feathers were another item in vogue on the carpet and were worn by Teyana Taylor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, and Best Supporting Actress winner Amy Madigan. A conversation around the many jewels and rare diamonds being worn last night spawned a curiosity about the guards who work the Oscars. Perhaps a 2027 diamond guard story is forthcoming? As for two of the biggest categories of the night—best actor and best actress—everyone was in agreement that Michael B Jordan and recent guest of the podcast Jessie Buckley, were chic and deserving winners.

Confidence was one of the key themes from this Paris Fashion Week. Recording from the Paris office ahead of Chanel and Louis Vuitton, our hosts (and special guest Claire Thomson-Jonville, Head of Editorial Content at) were in agreement: many of the new creative directors have stopped auditioning for their roles and started owning them. Nowhere was that clearer than at Givenchy, where Sarah Burton proved she'd hit her stride. Michael Rider's third outing for Celine at the Institut de France was also a highlight: "Expensive-looking, but aspirationally relatable," as Sarah Mower PUT IT https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2026-ready-to-wear/celine. The Michael Rider effect can already be seen in the wild, with staffers spotted doing their own styling interpretations inspired by the runway. Pieter Mulier’s intimate farewell at Alaïa, with standing room and children in the audience, was a moving moment from the week. Mulier’s decision to seat the full atelier team and commemorate them in a book felt particularly meaningful. As Paris Fashion Week came to a close, all eyes were once again on Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel. March COVER STAR https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/bhavitha-mandava-british-vogue-interview (and ALUM https://www.vogue.com/article/on-the-podcast-bhavitha-mandava!) Bhavitha Mandava was just announced as HOUSE AMBASSADOR https://www.instagram.com/p/DVjgbRZkeq6/?hl=en&img_index=1, and her appearance on the runway is highly anticipated.

In a little over a week the 98th Academy Awards will take place in Los Angeles. Many of the categories are looking like a toss up but it will be a shock if the Best Leading Actress goes to anyone other than Jessie Buckley for her devastating performance in Hamnet. Having just won variations of best leading lady at the Critics Choice Awards, the SAG Actor Awards, the BAFTAs, and the Golden Globes, Buckley is on a roll. Earlier in the week, Buckley sat down with guest hosts Taylor Antrim and Marley Marius ahead of today’s theatrical release of In creating this retelling of the Bride of Frankenstein, Buckley spoke about the challenge of finding her character. “It was such a huge undertaking to really create three individual personalities and metabolize them and have them be in conversation with myself.” The film was also incredibly physical and required that she learn tap and gaga dancing for the role. Buckley had worked previously with Maggie Gyllenhaal in , who she described as one of the most important women in her life. “Maggie has a real vision and there's so much intention behind what she's trying to say with her stories and why she's choosing to tell a story at all,” Buckley told , “I think what she asks all of her actors and herself is to ask the question that's gonna challenge you.” With her daughter on the road with her for this press tour, Buckley toggles quickly between “changing a nappy” and putting a red carpet dress on. The combination of being thrust into the spotlight and being a new mother has changed her relationship with fashion. Now working with stylist to the stars Danielle Goldberg, she feels empowered to let herself feel seen in her changing body. “Right at the beginning she was like, I just wanna see you. And I felt like I could breathe for the first time.” Also on the episode, gets an exclusive behind-the-scenes pass at the Rick Owens and Isabel Marant shows. Between getting their makeup done and getting their clothes on, Alex Consani and Mona Touggard chat about how they make time to read despite the chaos that happens backstage. Plus, Rick Owens himself reveals the inspiration by his collection. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices https://dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
Vivian Wilson became the talk of Milan Fashion Week when she seductively walked the runway of Demna’s debut Gucci show in a floor-length white gown. The 21-year-old model said she was briefed by casting to embody Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Her path to the Gucci runway began with a casting tape filmed in her own driveway. She walked "like a crazy person, like 8 million times" until she had the perfect take. The result? She ended up positioned in the lineup between icons Kate Moss and Mariacarla Boscono. "When I found that out, I was shaking in my boots," she told Chloe Malle, cozy in a Paris hotel room, while recording today’s episode of . "We did it, though." Before all the fashion week glamour in Paris and Milan, there was a very different life. Wilson spent time studying Japanese at a university in Tokyo, with plans to earn her TEFL certificate and become an ESL teacher. A cover changed everything. "It completely transformed my career," she said. Now she's in Paris, doing the model thing — castings every hour, NDAs on NDAs — and entirely at peace with the pivot. "I wanna see how big I can get,” she said. “We're just locking the fuck in." The conversation took a more serious turn when Malle raised the question of whether models look markedly thinner this season than even five years ago. Wilson didn't hesitate. "It's the Ozempic apocalypse, girl. I am so fucking over this." Off the catwalk, she reads gay fantasy fiction and has a passion for Excel spreadsheets. She is trans, a John Oliver devotee, and has genuine ambitions in voice acting. Her three wishes are to appear in , attend the Met Gala, and walk for Schiaparelli. She left the hotel room with a piece of the chocolate Eiffel Tower, having resolved to break off a piece from the middle so as "not to compromise its structural integrity." Also in the episode, editors share thoughts from the Balmain, Dries Van Noten and Saint Laurent shows at Paris Fashion Week.

When Bhavitha Mandava got word that she was cast as THE CHANEL BRIDE FOR MATTHIEU BLAZY’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SPRING 2026 COUTURE SHOW https://www.vogue.com/article/the-lightest-couture-show-ever-first-reactions-to-matthieu-blazys-couture-debut-at-chanel, she approached the role the same way she tackled her research papers at NYU. She headed straight to a Paris library to pore over books on couture and watched every Chanel bride video she could find. “Then I came up with a story in my head. I was like, okay, I'm going to view the audience around me as if they're my friends and family, and I'm going to view the runway as if I'm walking down the aisle.” She told Chioma Nnadi on following HER BRITISH VOGUE COVER https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/bhavitha-mandava-british-vogue-interview. Mandava also made history as the first Indian model to open a Chanel show for the Métiers d'Art 2025 2026 fashion show, staged in a New York City subway station. In a full-circle moment, she wore an outfit reminiscent of what she had on the day she was first scouted. “I was on my way to grab biryani with a friend after getting rejected from an interview,” she recalled. “I was waiting for him at Atlantic Avenue when my now ‘mother agent’ came up to me and asked, ‘Are you a model?’ I said, ‘No.’ And he said, ‘Do you want to be one?’” Initially skeptical, Mandava was ultimately persuaded by the prospect of paying off her school debts. Just a few months later, she had fully launched her modeling career and amassed more than 500,000 followers. “My dad is collecting every newspaper,” she said. “He’s clipping all the articles about me like . I don’t even know how he got it. They don’t ship to India.” Earlier in the episode, our fashion week coverage continues with Chloe and Arden Fanning Andrews, Vogue’s beauty editor-at-large. Reporting live straight from the car after Jonathan Anderson’s sophomore collection for Dior, they share their first impressions. Highlights from the show are: the epic lilypad shoes, ’s Paul Anthony Kelly dancing to the runway music, and the “wiglets” (you must listen to find out what that is!). Reflecting on the greenhouse setting, Arden made one bold prediction: “Sweat is in”. You heard it here first, folks!

It’s Day 2 of Shark Week! Today on the show, actress Wunmi Mosaku joins Chioma in the London podcast studio. The two dive into — from how she landed the role to the powerful lessons she learned while portraying Annie. “My team said, ‘Ryan Coogler wants to meet you for his next film.’ And I was like, ‘Ryan Coogler knows who I am?’” she recalls, reflecting on the moment she was first invited to audition. Fast forward to today: Wunmi has earned her first Academy Award nomination and picked up her first BAFTA just last week. Wunmi also opens up about why she chose to announce her second pregnancy at the Golden Globe Awards. “I wanna be present, and if I’m divorcing my head and my body, I’m not really welcoming the baby into this too,” she says, referencing the difficulties of keeping her pregnancy under wraps. “It feels like you’re kind of taking them for granted. They’re here with you.” Spotting a gap in the maternity fashion industry, Wunmi shares why she decided to launch her own line, Iyadé — meaning “mother has arrived” in Yoruba. She even hints at what she might be wearing to the Academy Awards next weekend. Listen here! Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices https://dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
Happy Day 1 of Shark Week! Today, we’re on the ground at Milan Fashion Week. There were debuts from Meryll Rogge at Marni, Maria Grazia Chiuri at Fendi, and – most anticipated of all – Demna at Gucci. Nicole Phelps, Head of Editorial Content at Francesca Ragazzi, and contributor Luke Leitch were there to take it all in, and was right there with them. The question going into the Gucci show was: who is Demna now? After a decade of deconstruction and conceptual provocation at Balenciaga—jackets made from trousers, outrageous couture wrapped in 50 meters of tulle—the designer stepped into one of fashion's most iconic houses with an eye towards what fashion needs now. At Marni, Meryll Rogge brought her knitwear expertise and a genuine emotional connection to the brand: she bought her first pair of Marni platforms with her first paycheck as an assistant at Marc Jacobs, and wore a Marni skirt to her brother's wedding as a teenager. At Moschino, Creative Director Adrian Appiolaza went back to his Argentine roots, finding inspiration in the landmarks, monuments and icons of his home country. The show closed with a model carrying a piggy bank purse and wearing shoes encrusted in euros. "It's not just about creativity, it's about finances," Appiolaza told Phelps backstage. Earlier in the week, Vogue World Milan was announced for September 22nd at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II—"the Sistine Chapel of Shopping," as Leitch called it—with the theme of the human touch in the age of technology.

We are revisiting one of our favorite episodes with none other than Mr. Calvin Klein https://www.vogue.com/article/on-the-podcast-mr-calvin-klein. He came to the Vogue podcast studio last year to chat with Nicole Phelps. Calvin is the designer who dressed America—and the world—in his designer jeans and logo underwear. The designer who broke all the rules of luxury advertising and in the process became a household name. The designer whose streamlined slip dresses and sleek suits, even after over 20 years of retirement, still define American minimalism, providing a template for young designers of today. He talked about his early days in the Bronx, his own first job at Women’s Wear Daily, his quest for perfection, and the keys to unparalleled success. Two words: Confidence and Drive But first, Chioma shares an update from Milan, talks about her busy weekend at Vogue Cafe London and co-hosting British Vogue and GQ's Fashion & Film Party, and reveals her highlights from London Fashion Week.

Today in Milan, Jil Sander Creative Director Simone Bellotti will show his second collection. Two weeks out from the show he was in New York – not to finalize the collection, which he says was largely locked a month ago, but to introduce the brand's new campaign alongside model Guinevere van Seenus. Van Seenus opened Bellotti's debut show and was the star of the Craig McDean campaigns that defined Jil Sander in the nineties. He’s looking back on those days as he prepares for the new collection. “It’s a brand that you really have to study,” he told Nicole Phelps. For fall, Bellotti’s mood board is organized around the idea of home—not as sanctuary, but as something more ambivalent. He's been watching Rainer Werner Fassbinder films and exploring the way the director used interiors to create tension and unease, to make the familiar feel threatening. He’s also shifting his approach for the new collection: where his first show was about reduction, this one is about addition. “I love this idea of contradiction,” he said. Jil Sander ONCE DESCRIBED https://vanityfair-staging.azurewebsites.net/article/1994/10/the-queen-of-less-wants-more the mood of her collections like a “clear glass of water” or a “glass of red wine.” When asked to describe the mood of his fall collection: Bellotti didn't miss a beat: it's the olive in a martini. “It’s this extra thing that is apparently superfluous,” he said, “But it makes the cocktail perfect.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices https://dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
Earlier this week, designer Erdem Moralioglu debuted his latest collection in London at his 20th anniversary show. Titled “The Imaginary Conversation” this show was less a retrospective (a term he shied away from) and more an embrace of his many historic and current muses in imagined conversation with one another. Dame Kristin Scott Thomas joined the legendary designer on the podcast during his big week who has been her friend for over a decade, since he designed an outfit for her to wear to the palace for her damehood appointment. At the time, his working space was above a movie theater and “everything smelled of popcorn” Moralioglu recounted to Chioma in Vogue’s London studio. The pair of friends also recalled with some fondness and a twinge of horror the infamous nail polish incident of 2018 at the Met Gala—one can imagine where that story is headed—and all the other moments along the way when the Dame has phoned her dear friend with fashion emergencies. Scott Thomas also took advantage of her moment in front of the microphone to ask Erdem one of her own questions about his process of pattern cutting which was even informative for our resident fashion savant Chioma. As he looks back on the last 20 years, Moralioglu lingers on a sentiment he expressed in his book—that simultaneously everything has changed and nothing has changed. “I can look back at my graduate collection and at sketchbooks from when I was 21 and still see a connection between who I was then and who I am now,” he told the podcast.

Since landing the role of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in the new FX series https://www.vogue.com/article/sarah-pidgeon-on-becoming-carolyn-bessette-kennedy-love-story, actress Sarah Pidgeon has had to undergo a full transformation. Not only did she dye her dark brown hair blonde (which she says is here to stay, at least for now!), but she also worked with a movement coach to nail down CBK’s mannerisms. “I was really focused on my eyes and I was thinking about taking all this information from these books and interviews that I had sort of gathered,” Pidgeon told Chloe Wednesday afternoon in Vogue’s podcast studio. With less than a minute of recorded video of Carolyn to work off of, Sarah found that listening to Elizabeth Beller’s book Once Upon A Time on repeat was the best way to prepare. Beyond her transformation, Sarah discussed her strategy for red carpet dressing, telling the story behind her feather dress and pant look she work to the show’s premiere. And she dives into all of the clothes she actually was able to steal from set! Earlier in the show, Chioma tells Choe how the Gisele Pelicot digital cover story https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/gisele-pelicot-british-vogue-interview came to be. She also runs through her London Fashion Week schedule https://www.vogue.com/article/london-fashion-week-cheat-sheet-fall-winter-2026 (with Tolu Coker and Chopova Lowena as two highlights) and Chloe discusses how she came up with her new newsletter Malle Wear https://www.vogue.com/newsletter/daily.

Rachel Scott, the founder of Diotima and the Creative Director of Proenza Schouler, put on two major shows in five days at New York Fashion Week. Her debut at Proenza Schouler was among the most anticipated shows of the week, with fellow designers like Maria Cornejo and Raul Lopez of Luar supporting from the front row. “There was a lot of my soul that I poured out in one week,” Scott told Nicole Phelps. “I'd say it's the hardest thing I've ever done.” At her Diotima show on Sunday, Scott collaborated with the estate of Wilfredo Lam, the late Cuban artist and current subject of a Museum of Modern Art retrospective. Scott has long admired Lam, and she found inspiration not only in the aesthetic beauty of his canvases but also the strong anti-imperialist statements in his work. Scott felt compelled to make her own political statement this season, given the many crises here in the U.S. and the world. “ICE out, number one,” she said. “We need to really think about what borders are. It's a statement against the repressive forces of colonialism and imperialism.” She also shared stories from her childhood growing up in Jamaica, her early fashion memories and career trajectory, and her favorite memories from her internship at Vogue.

On Sunday afternoon—just hours before the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny’s electrifying performance— VOGUE’S BOOK CLUB MEMBERS GATHERED AT THE SVA THEATRE IN CHELSEA FOR A SPECIAL PREVIEW OF https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/vogue-book-club-wuthering-heights-screening-emerald-fennell. The screening was followed by an insightful conversation for between director Emerald Fennell and Chloe, in which they compared Emily Brontë’s gothic novel with Fennell’s film adaptation. Drawing on literary scholarship and her own childhood memories of the book, Fennell explained why she chose to lean into its sadomasochistic undercurrents. “There’s a quote from Daphne du Maurier in which she describes as a kind of sexless book. But I’ve never experienced it that way. That’s part of the novel’s magic—everyone who reads it takes away something slightly different. For me, the sexual power dynamics are extremely explicit.” Fennell’s version makes several notable departures from the classic text. Isabella Linton emerges as a more dynamic character (Fennell joked that she’s “more of an Isabella than a Cathy”), and the adaptation omits both Nelly’s first-person narration and the novel’s second half (William Wyler did it first!). Perhaps the most memorable addition, however, is the inclusion of crushed eggs beneath bed sheets – an “inside joke” between lovers Heathcliff and Cathy. Fennell revealed that she volunteered to sit on them herself during filming. “Somebody has to do it, and I don’t want my crew to have to sit on a bunch of eggs, so I’m like, I’ll do it,” she said. Earlier in the episode, Chloe and Chioma catch up on their two iconic covers released this week: POWERHOUSE POP STAR ROSALÍA https://www.vogue.com/article/rosalia-spring-cover-2026-interview (Chloe’s first print issue for ) and BHAVITHA MANDAVA https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/bhavitha-mandava-british-vogue-interview, the newest model taking over the fashion industry. Chloe also previews the NYFW schedule, highlighting RACHEL SCOTT’S PROENZA SCHOULER SHOW https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2026-ready-to-wear/proenza-schouler as one to watch, while Chioma recounts her morning, which included breakfast with Jill Biden.

If the 2026 OLYMPICS https://www.vogue.com/article/everything-you-need-to-know-2026-winter-olympics has a breakout star from the winter games, America’s own Ilia Malinin would certainly be among them. The 21-year-old figure skater—who has earned the nickname “Quad God,” for being the only athlete to ever land a quadruple axel during competition—has been having quite the week to celebrate: On Sunday, Malinin helped Team USA SECURE A GOLD MEDAL https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/world/olympics/ilia-malinin-ice-skating-winter-olympics.html on Sunday, while he also earned EARNED THE TOP SPOT https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/winter-olympics-2026-milano-cortina-live-updates-day-four-schedule-events-scores-results/jk6wv0H7wzyr/ in the men's singles short program last night. Malinin—who has been a rising star in the skating world, and started hitting the ice around six-years-old—is the prodigy child of Olympic figure skaters Tatiana Malinina and Roman Skorniakov. This Olympics, he has been capturing the hearts of sports spectators around the globe, thanks to his distinctive music choices, glitzy wardrobe, and impressive backflips. For new longtime fans of the pro, you are in even more luck: Shortly before heading to Milan earlier this month, Malinin stopped by for a special bonus episode. On the docket of our conversation? Malinin shared a close glimpse into what exactly goes into training for a spectacle like the Olympics. “I just think about how I want to perform my best,” Malinin told co-hosts Christian Allaire and Arden Fanning Andrews. “I try not to give myself unnecessary pressure—I take it as I would prepare for any other competition.” Even so, the athlete did share a sneak peek into what goes into his Olympian wellness routine: He abstain from caffeine when training, but always allow himself to partake in a cheeky pre-skate chocolate bar.

Rosalía’s star has been on the rise over the past few years, and WITH HER FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM, LUX, https://www.vogue.com/article/rosalia-lux-era-fashion which has been widely acclaimed with features from music giant Björk and accompanied by The London Symphony Orchestra (plus lyrics in 13 different languages!), she’s become a force within the music industry. Now, embarking on her tour for the album and even making an appearance in the hit TV show, Euphoria, Rosalía is also gracing the cover of Vogue’s Spring issue (her first solo US Vogue cover) – maybe equally as important – she is the first print cover star in the “Chloe Malle era”. For today’s episode of The Run-Through, Chloe tells Chioma all about how her first print issue was made. You’ll hear from some of the people who made the issue come to life, like Vogue’s new contributing style director, Carlos Nazario, and Vogue’s Fashion Market Director, Naomi Elizee. You’ll also hear how the team was able to obtain the amazing Dior couture dress before it hit the runway, why shooting on the beach isn’t a simple feat, and why the mule Twinkie was the secret ingredient for the shoot.

Fresh off the world premiere of her new film , Margot Robbie joins Chloe and ’s Film and Culture Editor Radhika Seth to discuss the spectacular press-tour looks she conceived alongside her stylist, Andrew Mukamel. “Andrew—he’s a history major, so he really does his research,” Margot explains, referencing the Taj Mahal diamond necklace she wore, once owned by Elizabeth Taylor—a fitting nod to the film’s romantic and gothic themes. Robbie, who plays Cathy Earnshaw, is not only starring in the highly anticipated romantic drama opposite Jacob Elordi—out Valentine’s Day weekend (February 13)—but also serves as a producer, marking her third collaboration with Emerald Fennell. Reflecting on the film’s ambitious scope, Margot praised Fennell’s ingenuity: “What she did with the budget she had—the producer in me couldn’t help but be in awe. I kept thinking, this is impossible that she’s pulled off all of this with what we had.” She pointed to the visually stunning set design by Suzie Davies and the riveting score by pop icon Charli xcx as standout examples of the all-star team Fennell assembled. In the latter half of the episode, iconic costume designer Jacqueline Durran hops on the call to reveal how she created more than 50 looks for Cathy Earnshaw, and why she and Margot ultimately decided not to take a single piece from the set.

Last week, the fashion world lost a giant. Valentino Garavani, the Roman couturier who launched his label in 1960, died at 93. Alessandro Michele, the Creative Director of the maison, RECALLED https://vogue.ph/fashion/runway/alessandro-michele-remembers-valentino/ Valentino as “almost a mythical figure.” Michele joined Nicole Phelps last year on for a formidable conversation about his new life chez Valentino, just ahead of his Haute Couture debut.

From sculptural updos, LIKE THOSE WORN AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES BY SINGER EJAE https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/2026-golden-globes-updos, to the JOYFUL, BRIGHT EYE LOOKS MUSICIAN ZARA LARSSON HAS BEEN EMBRACING https://www.voguescandinavia.com/articles/zara-larsson-midnight-sun-tour-makeup, exciting beauty trends are already emerging in 2026. With awards season just ramping up, beauty editors Margaux Anbouba and Arden Fanning Andrews joined Chioma on this week to share what they anticipate seeing on red carpets in the months ahead. When it comes to predictions, Arden is leaning into what she calls “romantic beauty”— soft makeup and windswept hair — inspired by the return of period dramas this year, including https://www.vogue.com/article/emerald-fennell-wuthering-heights-adaptation (don’t forget to join the BOOK CLUB https://www.vogue.com/article/announcing-the-vogue-book-club!), , SET FOR RELEASE IN SEPTEMBER https://www.vogue.com/article/everything-we-know-so-far-daisy-edgar-jones-sense-and-sensibility, and NETFLIX’S FORTHCOMING SERIES https://www.vogue.com/article/everything-we-know-so-far-netflix-pride-and-prejudice. Margaux thinks we will be opting for “imperfect beauty,” meaning leaning into messier aesthetics online as a pushback against the rise of AI. Both editors (who happen to sport bobs themselves) once again said bobs are a trend to stay, even though they both plan to grow out their hair this year. Earlier in the episode, U.S. editor Maddie Schulz breaks down what’s really going on behind the SAKS FIFTH AVENUE BANKRUPTCY https://www.vogue.com/article/saks-filed-for-bankruptcy-now-what and WHAT FASHION’S “RESET” MAY ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE https://www.vogue.com/article/fashions-real-reset-starts-now.

Fresh off a flight from LA, VOGUE’S COVER STAR, AMANDA SEYFRIED https://www.vogue.com/article/amanda-seyfried-digital-cover-january-2026-interview is back in New York and on The Run Through to talk about award season! “I will say my favorite part … was being at the A24 party at the Chateau,” says Seyfried reflecting on the Golden Globes that happened Sunday evening. “I was just on the couch with a bunch of people that I like and don't ever see except at award shows.” Seyfried says she was surprised when a conversation in the Golden Globes ballroom with Jennifer Lawrence was picked up by cameras. “There are still moments when I forget that people are watching it,” says Seyfried. “It was a little bit unnerving when I saw that because I just believed, I guess, stupidly that it was a private conversation.” Seyfried was a two-time nominee at the ceremony for her roles in the Testament on Ann Lee and the television series Long Bright River. With award season in full swing, she’s been working closely with her stylist Elizabeth Stewart to make sure she is red carpet ready. “We've been wearing a lot of Prada and we decided to wear a VERSACE [TO THE GOLDEN GLOBES] https://www.vogue.com/article/amanda-seyfried-final-fitting, which is always trusted and beautiful and classic as well. Away from Hollywood, Seyfried’s wardrobe is much more casual as she cares for 52 animals on her farm upstate. “I'll wear the big tall muck boots,” says Seyfried. “The ones you can't drive a car in 'cause your foot can't reach the pedal.” Her animals include peacocks, chickens, goats, horses, donkeys and a new rescue rabbit named Bugsy that is a bit stand-offish. “He could be 37 years-old.” says Seyfried. “ I have absolutely no idea. He's got a droopy wet eye. But he's very nice it seems.” In THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE https://www.vogue.com/article/the-testament-of-ann-lee-amanda-seyfried-review-venice directed by Mona Fastvold, Seyfried plays the titular character who is credited with creating the Shaker religious community in the mid-18th century. “The Shakers worshiped through song and dance,” says Seyfried on the challenge of undertaking the role as their leader. “The singing had to be second nature.” says Seyfried on her performance. “But with singing, I've always been judging myself as I've been doing it. Even in Les Mis, I wasn't present the way I was. So I had to let go of that very early on. And the key to that was she's human and I need to feel it. It's not about how it sounds. It's about how it feels. And I need the audience to become a Shaker for two and a half hours.” While promoting the film, Seyfried’s 8 year-old daughter Nina was introduced to one of her mother’s earlier roles in the cult classic Mean Girls. “She said that she didn't think it was that funny,” recalls Seyfried. “but she really loved my role. That was Nina's critique of Mean Girls at age eight.” The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

The time has come for annual Golden Globes recap—and let’s just say, this one delivered. Not only did friend of the podcast Nikki Glaser return to the stage as the hostess with the mostest (with jokes Vogue deputy editor Taylor Antrim couldn’t get enough of), but we were also treated to a truly cheeky look from Teyana Taylor (Vogue predicts: the Year of the Buttcrack is officially here) and a standout awards-season red carpet debut from two of the most talked-about boys of the moment, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie of .

Bright colors emerged as a surprising trend, with Wunmi Mosaku’s bold yellow look—paired with a pregnancy reveal—standing out as a major highlight. Other memorable moments included Odessa A’zion in self-styled archival Dolce & Gabbana, Tessa Thompson in Balenciaga (serving real mermaid vibes, according to Chloe), and Colman Domingo in Valentino, complete with an abundance of brooches. The group wrapped up by sharing their favorite wins of the night, with unanimous agreement that is likely to be a frontrunner heading into the Oscars—and that Timothée Chalamet is a shoe-in for Best Actor.

For someone who’s done a lot of horror movies, Rebecca Hall admits she’s a bit squeamish. That, however, didn’t stop her from taking on a role in the newest body horror series, https://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/the-beauty, which is set to premiere January 21st on FX. Rebecca first learned of the series when she grabbed breakfast at Buvette in the West Village with Ryan Murphy (who created the show Matthew Hodgson) who enticed her with three things: a fun premise (an STD that makes you so hot that you explode, sign Rebecca up!), great clothes (The Row to be specific, and who could say no to that?) plus a list of fabulous filming locations: Rome, Paris, and Venice all making the list. “He [Ryan] was very open to me. One of the joys for me of this job was that not many people asked me to just be myself for a character.” Rebecca told Senior Features Editor Marley Marius and Fashion Writer Hannah Jackson on Wednesday afternoon. This openness and collaborative spirit Ryan gives to his actors is what enticed Rebecca about working with him again on his series Monster, where she will play Lizzie Borden in which she called “entering her villain era” which was a lot of fun for her. When Rebecca is not on the job, she finds great joy in painting (many of her works have been either sold or exhibited), watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (for which her husband is getting around to understanding), and dressing up in “crazy outfits” in her day-to-day quiet upstate life. Earlier in the episode, Chioma fills Chloe in about the behind-the-scenes of the new fabulous BRITISH VOGUE COVER WITH JESSIE BUCKLEY https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/jessie-buckley-british-vogue-interview. They also chat what they are looking forward to about awards season and give a farewell to Will Welch who ANNOUNCED HE IS DEPARTING FROM GQ EARLIER THIS WEEK https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/business/media/will-welch-gq-editor-departure.html.

HBO’s Industry is back this week and we couldn’t be more excited! Myha’la Herrold joins senior editor Marley Marius and fashion writer Hannah Jackson on Vogue’s podcast to bring us up to speed on what her character Harper Stern is in for in season four. “The end of season three is very much her being like, “I'm gonna be my own boss.” This is the time when she truly breaks away,” says Myha’la. Each season of the show, Myha’la works with the showrunners Konrad Kay and Mickey Down to use Harper’s hair to tell a story of where the character is at in her life and this season is no different. “She's at the top of her game and she's going harder than she's ever gone before. And I was like, well obviously it's gotta be the micro braids with the human hair,” says Myhala on her season four look. "It's gotta be the most expensive, probably the most high maintenance, the most difficult thing and the most elevated version of Harper.” Great care went into creating Harper’s wardrobe this season as Costume Designer Laura K. Smith created a power suit to set the tone for the character. “We always trade boards like I was sending her pictures of Celine and YSL," reflects Myha’la. “That first shot that we see Harper is in a gray three-piece suit. It is a custom designed and custom made suit by Laura for Harper,” says Myha’la. “[Laura] was like, I want this to be like the hero piece for her closet and for her to be able to mix and match.” Myha’la takes a trip down memory lane and talks about fronting a Christian rock-band in high school and talks about her love of musicals and her dream role of playing Elle Woods in Legally Blonde on Broadway. “I'm manifesting.” says Myha’la. “I sing everything but my favorite genre is definitely musical theater. If anyone is looking for a five foot one, available, black baddie who lives in New York, cast me!” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices https://dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
Millie Bobby Brown is in a moment of transition. After nearly a decade of playing Eleven on Netflix’s hit series , that chapter of her life is coming to a close. Now, she’s turning her focus to simpler joys: caring for the twenty-five farm animals on her Georgia property and settling into motherhood with her baby girl, whom she recently adopted with her husband, Jake Bongiovi. “I will never live in L.A. It just isn’t for me,” Brown told Chioma a few weeks ahead of the finale, premiering December 31 and set to screen in select theaters. “If I can do anything for my daughter, it will be to give her a home base.” It’s a sense of stability the actress says she lacked growing up, having moved frequently as a child before eventually relocating to Atlanta to film the series. Beyond reflecting on family life, Brown also opens up about the friendship she’s been building with singer Raye, who also appeared on the cover of in 2025 and performed at her wedding. She also discusses navigating criticism, her evolving relationship with her hair, and the emotional moment when her co-star Noah Schnapp met her baby for the first time.

Zoe Saldaña first stepped into the role of Avatar’s Neytiri when she was 24 years-old. Now, the 47 year-old is back for the third film of the James Cameron franchise Avatar: Fire and Ash. "This installment of Avatar [is about] how a family can be resilient and learn to smile and love again after experiencing great loss," Saldaña told Vogue’s Deputy Editor Taylor Antrim and Global Director of Social Sam Sussman ahead of the film's release in US theatres on December 19. "I get really lost into the world of Pandora," says Saldaña about reprising her role. “I really care for the characters that I play. I create a solid backstory for them, so I live more in that reality.” It’s been a big year for Saldaña. On top of Avatar, she is currently Vogue Mexico’s December cover star, she won an Oscar for her role in Emilia Pérez, is currently in production for season 3 of Lioness and also met Pope Leo while in Italy with her three sons. "They were so hyper," reflects Saldaña. "They're like typical 10 and eight year olds and can't focus... And the moment comes and we're right in front of him – you can see that picture, they're gleaming." Zoe Saldaña has the distinction for being the first actor to star in four films that grossed over $2 billion at the box office. She’s taken part in some of the largest franchises such as the Avengers, Avatar, Star Trek and the Pirates of the Caribbean. But now more than ever, Saldaña told Vogue that immersing herself in her personal life is the biggest priority. "For a long time, I was afraid to stop," she confessed to Ramón Barreto in her cover story . "I feared that if I did, something wouldn't be right. But now, I understand that pausing is also part of the movement." Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices https://dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
On Monday afternoon, Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson stopped by the offices for a live conversation about their new film, which comes out Christmas Day. The project, inspired by the real-life story of Mike and Claire Sardinia—a Wisconsin couple who form a Neil Diamond tribute band is based on the documentary of the same name, which director Craig Brewer first encountered at a festival and later adapted for the screen. “I realized that everyone is living an extraordinary life,” Jackman shared to Chloe and Vogue’s Deputy editory Taylor when reflecting on why he chose to take the role of Mike. After earning a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Claire, Kate speaks candidly about rediscovering her voice, crediting Sia (who she worked with on the film Music) with inspiring her to sing more freely. She recalls being pushed onto the microphone at her 16th birthday by her mother, Goldie Hawn, to perform “That’s What Friends Are For,” with Quincy Jones in attendance. “He told me to get into the studio,” Hudson remembers. Plus, Hugh and Kate discuss what it’s been like singing at bars across the world, what their tribute band would be (hint: Fleetwood Mac mentioned!), and answer a fun question from none other than Anna Wintour about whether or not they should adapt this film as a theater production.

A day after her first solo Vogue cover shoot for the Inaugural Best Dressed Issue, Alex Consani stopped by the podcast studio to chat with Chloe and Hannah about working with her frequent collaborator, photographer Ethan James Green and stylist Malina Joseph Gilchrist on the shoot in a quaint brownstone in Brooklyn. Along with being Vogue’s cover star and the model of the moment, Alex is in the middle of her first “adult” move to a brownstone in Fort Greene with help from her friend Paloma Elsesser. In her own words, her years of saving and living frugally in New York, asking her friends for their leftovers and her lucky crystals that she carries in her Birkin mini helped her manifest this moment. Alex also dives into what it was like styling her parents for Vogue World, why she sometimes doesn’t use a stylist, and her advice for getting used to wearing heels. Plus, Chloe and Chioma dive into the best dressed lists (from Bad Bunny to Adwoa Aboah) and the big Met Co-chair announcement that dropped yesterday with Beyoncé returning to the ball after nearly 10 years, joined by Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams.
