A few years back, Cannes was rocked by “flat-gate” — the uproar over the requirement that all women wear heels at Palais premieres. While many criticized the rule as outdated, others simply opted to ignore it due to the aches and pains of rushing up and down the Croisette in a pair of sky-high stilettos.
A not-so-new tool is becoming the new go-to for designers and stylists: Flexpower Soothe Lotion.
While everyone from Olympians to pro teams in the NBA and NFL have been relying on the anti-inflammatory blend of arnica, echinacea and eucalyptus for years, Flexpower Soothe gained traction during the recent New York Fashion Week when designers Sergio Hudson and Kevan Hall instructed their teams to apply it to models’ legs and feet ahead of the runway.

As anyone who loves fashion knows, clothes are about more than mere style; they communicate an abundance of stories, and that was certainly true of the Hollywood A-listers who walked the champagne-hued carpet at the 2023 Oscars. From romantic volume or sleek modernity to conveying messages both subtle and overt, the stars arriving at L.A.’s Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood seemed to take a uniquely personal approach to their style this year.
The night’s best fashion ran the gamut from the grandeur of voluminous gowns in silk taffeta, notably a pair of Valentino gowns seen on Stephanie Hsu and Florence Pugh, to sleek looks in pale neutrals, including Ana de Armas in Louis Vuitton and Michelle Williams in Chanel. Elegant black gowns also ruled the night, with Danai Gurira’s Jason Wu design and Jenny Slate’s Thom Browne ensemble among the best. Winning details, meanwhile, ranged from...

Backstage at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony, after she received the Oscar for costume design for “Black Panther,” Ruth E. Carter talked about the significance of her win for other costume designers of color coming behind her. “Finally the door is wide open and I’ve been struggling and digging deep and mentoring and doing whatever I could to raise others up,” she said. “And I hope through my example, this means that there is hope and other people can come on in and win an Oscar just like I did.”
The costume design world has never been the most inclusive. When Carter entered the business, she had few African American role models to emulate. When asked to list black costume designers who were working when she got her start, she name-checks only the late Palmer Brown, who designed for television series like “Gimme a Break!” and “A Different World.

After winning an Oscar for her costumes on the Ryan Coogler blockbuster Black Panther, Ruth E. Carter is carefully stitching together a plan for her next assignment — bringing the wardrobe to life for Coming to America 2.
Last week, Carter posted pictures on Instagram with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, confirming she’ll be dressing the cast of the forthcoming Coming to America sequel.
At a gala Saturday night in Los Angeles, hosted by the Black Design Collective, Carter said she’s in the early stages of mapping out the costumes for the Craig Brewer-directed film.
“I’m excited about it,” she said. “I’m reunited with Eddie Murphy. We’ve done several projects together.”
John Landis directed the original film, and his wife Deborah Nadoolman Landis designed the costumes for the 1988 comedy, earning an Oscar nomination for her work on the clothes for the fictional African country of Zamunda.
